Chapter 160: She Recites Poetry Again

The deceased cannot be seen.

The boundary between life and death far surpasses any journey in this world.

People can only reminisce, repeatedly savoring dim memories, recalling the beauty that has become the past.

But now.

The dragon blood consumed by Wu Yingxue turned into drops of hot tears, glistening and shimmering, overlapping in the light and shadow, allowing Wu Yingxue to see that figure once again after so long.

Extremely foolish, extremely good, extremely clumsy.

And also the one she misses the most.

That was the biggest fool no one could compare to, who once smiled and told the princess that he would never die, that he would continue to watch her grow in a special way.

“Master, do you see it now…”

“I’ve become even more outstanding…”

Wu Yingxue forced a faint smile.

She looked up at the blue sky.

Her body was soaked in dragon blood, her hair disheveled, the stench of blood thick, with no trace of elegance or beauty left.

Traces of dragon flesh lingered at the corners of her lips and between her teeth.

Having personally slain the culprit of the Ten Thousand Mountains, avenging the blood debt, this should have been a joyous occasion, but the princess’s heart was filled only with pain and an indescribable sorrow.

Wiping.

Rubbing.

Over and over, with her blood-stained hands, she repeated the motion of wiping her eyes.

She had to, had to wipe away the tears.

She couldn’t let her master see her ugly crying face.

It was just too unsightly.

The girl forced a smile, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t wipe away the emptiness in her heart, which only grew more apparent, not healed by the death of the Azure Dragon.

In the end, all that remained was a face frozen in silent tears.

“It’s time to go…”

A strong wind blew, her hair flying wildly.

Beneath Wu Yingxue’s feet lay the massive,蜿蜒 corpse of the Azure Dragon, its warm blood quietly flowing, paving a bloody path for the girl.

The girl began to move forward again.

The person who could fill the void in her heart no longer existed.

But the girl’s path, the path named Wu Yingxue, continued to stretch forward.

She would keep walking.

Walking on the path of life that the biggest fool in the world had carved out for her, doing what she could, things that Xu Xi would surely smile and praise.

“Master, the world outside…”

“There are more demons and monsters…”

“And many people who can’t get enough to eat…”

She whispered words only she could hear.

The girl stepped forward.

Treading through the puddles of dragon blood, stepping over the massive, lifeless head of the dragon, holding her long spear, its tip scraping against the dragon scales beneath her feet, emitting a harsh, grating sound.

It was the sound of struggling for survival.

…

The Azure Dragon was a rare creature of heaven and earth, a demon god in cultivation. It could be said that every part of the dragon was a treasure.

When the demon side received the news and rushed to the battlefield at top speed, all they saw was a vast wilderness soaked in dragon blood.

Everything else.

Whether it was the Army of Survival or the corpse of the Azure Dragon.

Had long since disappeared.

“Outrageous! The dragon must not be disgraced!”

“Such audacity, they must be killed!!”

“Utter disrespect and fearlessness, even if the old humans protect them, I will destroy their true spirits!”

The demons were furious, even those not of the dragon race showed full anger.

Besides anger, there was also an indescribable fear.

The Army of Survival had only appeared in the Martial World for a little over a hundred years. In just a hundred years, they had slain the Azure Dragon. What would they become after more time?

Thinking of this.

The demon gods and saints present all felt a terror like never before.

They resolved that even under the pressure of the humans, even if they had to divert their attention to fight other human powerhouses, they would annihilate the Army of Survival.

Such a rapidly advancing human army.

Must not be allowed to exist!

…

The demon gods and saints began to move, abandoning their previous neglect of the Army of Survival, returning with even greater ferocity.

Madly, like blood-seeking hounds.

Whenever the Army of Survival appeared, they would rush at top speed, trying to encircle and completely annihilate the army led by Wu Yingxue.

But it was difficult.

Very difficult.

The human powerhouses of the Martial World, upon noticing the demons’ movements, quickly intervened to stop them.

Thus, the pressure on the Army of Survival was无形中 reduced.

“Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!”

“These damned humans, how dare they hurt me, how dare they!”

A demon god chased the Army of Survival.

But was nearly killed by Wu Yingxue.

The path of survival was rugged and hard.

Wu Yingxue did not have a talent that even the heavens would envy.

Nor did she have any special innate physique.

All she had was the perseverance she learned from Xu Xi, and the desire to “eat” to survive, like a moth drawn to the flame, constantly flying towards the “deathly” fire.

Reborn from the flames, living towards death.

The Human Immortal world in the girl’s heart merged the characteristics of “flames,” “perseverance,” and “devouring” into one.

Aided by the martial arts techniques tailored by Xu Xi.

Truly achieving the principle of growing stronger through battle, feeding on war.

“What doesn’t kill me only makes me stronger!” With a sweep of her spear, the sky cracked, the spear fast as light, piercing the throat of a Roc demon.

Like a broken dam, the Roc’s blood sprayed out, splashing onto Wu Yingxue’s back, but she remained silent, only moving forward.

The people of the Army of Survival quickly stepped forward.

Skillfully processing the Roc’s flesh and blood.

Gradually, the demons of the Martial World realized something horrifying.

Even as they desperately hunted the Army of Survival, the army’s numbers only seemed to grow, as if endless.

What terrified the demons even more was the Army of Survival’s habit of devouring demons.

In the past, only demons devoured humans.

But now, the Army of Survival led by Wu Yingxue, with even greater ferocity, consumed any demon they could, all for the simple goal of “surviving.”

It was a perseverance the demons could not understand.

They could only roar, attacking Wu Yingxue with even greater madness.

During this, Wu Yingxue came close to death several times.

The people who once followed her out of the mountains gradually disappeared over time.

“Little Master Wu, I’m so tired…”

“We’re going to slack off with the big master now, haha…”

Wu Yingxue became alone, leading the familiar yet unfamiliar Army of Survival, continuing to fight the demons.

The girl never stopped.

Whenever she was exhausted and struggling.

There was always a wind to push her forward, and a bright star to guide her path.

Decades later, Wu Yingxue poured her heart and soul into perfectly merging the nameless technique gifted by Xu Xi with her internal world, breaking the conventional limits of a Human Immortal.

Over a hundred years later, Wu Yingxue stood at the peak of Human Immortal, capable of suppressing multiple demon gods alone.

A demon saint seized the chance to strike, confident in killing Wu Yingxue.

But in the earth-shattering pillar of fire that pierced the heavens.

They witnessed Wu Yingxue breaking through to the Shore Crossing Realm, her internal world evolving into multiples, her aura twisting the void.

“Fleeting years melt like snow, time passes through spring and autumn.”

“No longer fearing the howling wind and fierce rain, the path of fire burns endlessly.”

After this lament.

The girl raised her hand, condensing cosmic power into a spear, casually piercing and killing the Golden Hou Demon Saint.
