Chapter 311: Disaster Empress
The Disaster Empress, that legendary source of destruction, had arrived ahead of schedule!
This plot twist was supposed to unfold much later in the storyline, close to the end of the Su Xiaoxiao arc. At that point, Huang Aotian would have passed through countless trials, attained enlightenment, and reached the peak of the Transformation God realm, standing on the precipice of the Dao. Only then would they have a faint glimmer of hope to defeat the Disaster Empress.
But now…
This plot twist had come way too early! Huang Aotian was still green, barely even having set foot into the Golden Core level. How could they possibly compete with such a being?!
It was like trying to crack a stone with an egg!
…
Yun Zhonghe and Mu Jixue’s encounter in the bl**d pool illusion seemed to stretch for an eternity, but from an outside perspective, it lasted barely a moment.
Just a tiny leap forward in time, and that’s when Su Xiaoxiao’s meltdown began—
“Don’t… don’t!!!!” Su Xiaoxiao’s scream ripped through the air.
As Yun Zhonghe was pierced and dragged into the abyss of the bl**d pool, Mu Jixue followed him without hesitation. Su Xiaoxiao, on the Spirit Boat, felt her world crumble.
Back when they were at Chen Manor in Tianhai City, Yun Zhonghe had risked himself to save her, suffering the venom’s assault, only to be whisked away by a mysterious female corpse. It was unbearable. Su Xiaoxiao’s heart had already been shattered; she was teetering on the edge of collapse.
But at least then, she had held onto a sliver of hope—believing Yun Zhonghe might still be safe, so she could keep herself together.
But just now, when she witnessed Yun Zhonghe’s bl**d splattering, that vivid red swarmed her vision like a plague, dragging her consciousness into an eternal black abyss.
In that moment, her heart shattered completely. All her strength and reason crumbled like a sandcastle on a tide.
Don’t… don’t…
Why take my important people away again!
Is this world really so intolerant of me? I hate it! I hate it so much!
Endless anger and resentment burst forth!
I hate! I hate how unfair this world is.
In the pitch-black space, a despairing Su Xiaoxiao curled up, weeping bitterly.
She questioned this unjust fate repeatedly, begging for even a little warmth to be spared.
Yet in response, she encountered countless hands like night, cold and merciless, stripping her of everything, robbing her.
It hurt, it hurt so much.
She was already in so much pain; why couldn’t someone just be a little gentle with her?
Hadn’t she lost enough already?
Hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate…
Why is this world so detestable?!
The image of Yun Zhonghe lying in a pool of bl**d replayed incessantly in her mind, refusing to fade.
She wanted to look away, but something compelled her forward, pushing her sanity to the brink, screaming for her to confront the image of Yun Zhonghe’s d*ath.
“I hate!!”
Screaming, suffering, going mad—her pupils trembled in despair, her entire self was cracking apart.
A world without my brother Yun… I don’t need it at all!
Just then, strange hands silently wrapped around her shoulders, a whispering voice floated in her ear like a chilling breeze, seductively coaxing: [Hatred is right; this world is utterly merciless and cruel!]
[Don’t you find everything around you loathsome? Don’t you resent your powerlessness? Don’t you… want to destroy that monster that brings you endless pain?]
[You want to erase it all, right? You want to wipe everything out, right.]
Dark, profound phrases snuck deep into Su Xiaoxiao’s soul, pushing her will toward extremes.
A demonic serpent seemed to coil around her spirit, sinking her consciousness into darkness.
[Leave it to me; I’ll help you achieve your wish.]
[I’ll clear everything away for you!]
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly opened her eyes, seeing a silver-haired girl extend a dark hand, blotting out her vision.
“Eh?”
In the next moment, Su Xiaoxiao severed the link…
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh—!!!!”
On the Spirit Boat, Su Xiaoxiao’s scream was deafening, echoing through the cosmos.
The aura around her, once thin as mist, suddenly roared like a wildfire, transforming into an overwhelming power, shooting up to the sky!
This force was domineering and formidable, a visible wave of energy crashing like ocean tides, expanding outward in ripples. Wherever it passed, space seemed to tear apart. The Spirit Boat shook violently under the onslaught of this power, struggling like it was caught in a storm, on the brink of disintegration at any moment.
Surrounding trees in the forest bent down, some even broke in half, emitting cries of despair.
Massive boulders cracked open, shattered into powder.
In the distance, the mountains trembled under this terrifying energy.
It was as if the entire world was collapsing, ready to disappear into ashes at any moment.
This horrifying wave felt like an apocalypse, shaking the earth and causing celestial anomalies!
Dark clouds swirled as if pulled by invisible hands, quickly gathering to block the sky.
Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, deafeningly rolling like the gods were angrily roaring their grievances against the injustice of the world.
“W-What’s happening?!”
Su Xinghe gripped the helm of the Spirit Boat nervously, beads of sweat trickling down her forehead. The boat wobbled dangerously under this overwhelming force, nearly colliding with a towering mountain peak. With all her might, she finally steadied the vessel.
This extraordinary aura had emerged from nowhere, like an ancient beast awakening, overshadowing everything around it. Su Xinghe’s face turned pale as she looked toward the source of this aura, seeing Su Xiaoxiao crouched on the deck, flickering like a flame, before finally settling into a chilling pallor.
“Sister?” Su Xinghe exclaimed, confusion saturating her voice.
This image reminded her of the time at Chen Manor, but this time, Su Xiaoxiao didn’t return; she had completely transformed into someone else.
As her gray eyes slowly opened, the entire world seemed to tremble in fear of someone’s return.
—The Disaster Empress was online!
“What… what’s going on?!”
Su Xinghe stammered, each word painfully squeezed from her throat.
It was incomprehensible.
Totally inscrutable.
Her gaze was glued to Su Xiaoxiao, trying to understand her aura and state, but it was like a layer of gray mist cloaked her vision. No matter her efforts, she could only sense chaos, not clarity.
What realm was this? What power was this? Everything was unknown!
Cold sweat poured from Su Xinghe’s forehead, an unprecedented sense of helplessness flooding her heart.
Her heartbeat quickened, and her breath became ragged.
Suddenly, “Su Xiaoxiao” shot a look at the appraising Su Xinghe, the suffocating pressure nearly stopping her heart.
For a fleeting moment, Su Xinghe felt as if she’d been erased from existence.
With just a glance, Su Xiaoxiao—BOOM!—the entire Spirit Boat split apart, its structure shattering under immense pressure, exploding in fragments!
“Sister… don’t…”
Su Xinghe cried out in terror, but her voice was swallowed by the wind as the shattered Spirit Boat plummeted into the depths of a dreary valley.
At that moment, crouching by the bl**d pool, Xia Linglong’s eyes reflected a heart-stopping scene.
She bore witness to Su Xiaoxiao’s shocking transformation; Su Xiaoxiao now floated in the air, her unfamiliar yet familiar figure inspiring dread.
Looking down at all, overlooking all beings!
The once gentle girl now resembled a demon rising from the abyss, her stance akin to that of a supreme ruler, making the world tremble.
A surge of unprecedented exhilaration flooded Su Xiaoxiao’s heart.
The power of the Disaster Empress coursed through her, sweeping mightily—a delightful sensation made her feel as if she could crush the world in her grip, manipulating everything at will!
She was the ruler of this world, utterly unstoppable!
“Hehehe… Hahahaha… This is wonderful, I feel like I can do anything I want~”
A frenzied grin spread across her face, brimming with a thirst for power and an obsession with controlling everything.
She was no longer the weak Su Xiaoxiao; now, she had transformed into someone remarkably powerful!
Anyone she disliked could be obliterated with a mere thought, as easy as swiping away dust!
Those who mocked her? They could vanish with a casual wave of her hand, leaving no trace!
In this moment, she was neither Su Xiaoxiao nor Su Xiaoxiao.
While she retained some of Su Xiaoxiao’s awareness, she had also lost some of the essence of Su Xiaoxiao.
A chaotic blend of black and white.
The desire to destroy!
To annihilate everything!
To obliterate everything she found unpleasant!
This desire swelled uncontrollably within her, like a roaring fire, impossible to suppress. The black mist emanating from her was the outward manifestation of her inner turmoil, visible misfortune. Under her fierce will, this misfortune became tangible, ready for her to control with her thoughts.
She cackled, a sinister laugh tinged with grinding teeth as she loathed everything, especially this place. She wanted to wipe it out, to reduce everything to nothingness!
Because this place was where he met his end.
Her fingers traced the void, then she swiped down forcefully!
With a deafening BOOM, a once immaculate mountain range shattered under her power, its pieces scattering like meteors, forming a realm of d*ath!
A deep and dark crevice stretched toward the distant horizon!
Down below, Xia Linglong’s face drained of color as the weakened her desperately dodged the fragments imbued with menacing power.
Even a slight touch from these shards could sever limbs or worse, crush bones to dust.
She stared up in horror at Su Xiaoxiao, bewildered by how the gentle girl she once knew had suddenly morphed into this terrifying being.
“Hehehe… Hehehe… Hahahaha…”
But Su Xiaoxiao showed no signs of relenting, her laughter wild and unrestrained, echoing like thunder among the mountains, persisting long after.
She hovered in midair, relishing her spontaneous creation. It filled her with immense satisfaction.
Yet, a greater hatred simmered underneath.
Destruction! Destruction! Destruction!
Annihilate this place!
Erase all those unpleasant memories!
As if doing so would completely erase the fact that Yun Zhonghe had perished here.
With another wave of her hand, another mountain collapsed under her strength, rocks splintering and dust rising in frenzy.
With a flick of her sleeve, the mountains evaporated!
Su Xiaoxiao’s laughter took on a more chilling tone, her eyes gleaming like a storm of misfortune…
