Chapter 0001: Lingyun's Broken Heart

et.Zi Wei slightly raised her eyes. Her pale and exquisite face bore a pair of profound eyes, which swept across the tens of thousands of people gathered hundreds of meters away. Every single person t..."Dash!"

A cold wind howled, accompanied by the sound of bones shattering. It painted a scene of carnage amidst the swirling snow. A young man, wielding a sharp blade and possessing an alluring visage, stared down at the enemy sprawled on the ground. His eyes, as cold as autumn water, held no trace of emotion.

That child, amidst this bitter winter, wore only a thin, long garment. Originally pure white, the shirt was now stained crimson by endless streams of water.

At his feet, nearly a hundred corpses lay piled atop the pristine white snow. The water flowing from their bodies had already stained the surrounding snow...

Then……

This is not over yet.

Zi Wei slightly raised her eyes. Her pale and exquisite face bore a pair of profound eyes, which swept across the tens of thousands of people gathered hundreds of meters away. Every single person there stared intently at Yi Bu, with an almost greedy gaze.

The child's gaze swept over those faces one by one, the corner of his mouth suddenly lifting into a wickedly playful curve. He raised his hand, his fingertip wiping away a drop of heat from the corner, staining that originally pale piece with a touch of eerie red.

Seventy-nine people... Who will be next

Ye Qingtang never imagined that one day she would be besieged by thousands of people on Lingyun Cliff, the enemy of the world!

All of this is thanks to the mouth, that demon emperor's heart!

Born with otherworldly visions, the Demon Emperor descended upon the world. Heaven perished, and Earth was destroyed.

Ye Qingtang is not the Demon Emperor, and she didn't know why. The heart that should belong to the Demon Emperor appeared in her chest.

But none of that matters anymore.

All these people before me have come for the Heart of the Demon Emperor. Whoever swallows the Heart of the Demon Emperor will obtain the unparalleled power belonging to the Demon Emperor!

No one would care, Ye Qingtang, whether she lived or died.

In their eyes, he was nothing more than the heart of a demon emperor.

How ridiculous!

Ye Qingtang stood straight, her bare feet on the soft snow. Her soaked feet melted into the snow, and she tilted her head. Suddenly, she raised her sword, its jeweled tip pointed directly at the man in fine clothes surrounded by a crowd of people.

"Ye You, don't send these useless fools up to die. If you want the heart of the Demon Emperor, come and take it yourself." Ye Qingtang smiled, but her eyes held no mirth whatsoever.

Back then, Ye You, along with another genius from the Ye family, ripped open Ye Qingtang's abdomen because her spirit was a once-in-a-millennium top-grade spiritual essence. Ye You personally extracted her living spirit and used it for herself.

Since then, three hundred years have passed.

Ye You's stolen spirit, seizing Ye Qingtang's original life, became an instantly renowned genius, now a revered Emperor Supreme. Meanwhile, Ye Qingtang, devoid of her spirit, endured a life of hardship, narrowly escaping death multiple times. With great effort, she reached the Saint Venerable realm, but now, due to the Demon Emperor's Heart, Ye You and his followers have trapped her atop this Lingyun Peak!

Ye You, who was named by Ye Qingtang, frowned slightly, her eyes full of disdain. In her eyes, Ye Qingtang was nothing more than a struggling ant on the verge of death, not even worthy of her mercy.

"Don't let him get away! Make sure you dig out the Heart of the Demon Emperor, whole and complete." Ye You commanded the guards beside her.

At that moment, the crowd gathered at the top of Lingyun Cliff immediately surrounded Ye Qingtang's position.

Even with three heads and six arms, Ye Qingtang would have no chance against the onslaught of tens of thousands!

After, there was a boundless abyss, and in front of her was an encirclement by thousands. Yet, on Ye Qingtang's face, there wasn't even a hint of fear or panic.

In this life... my father and second uncle were murdered, Senior Brother Yun died saving me, and Master sacrificed his life to protect me...

Ye Qingtang slowly closed her eyes, looking back on her life, filled with countless regrets.

All those people are gone now, and the enemy is right before us. Even if we destroy the Demon Emperor's heart, I will absolutely not let Ye You succeed!

In the moment everyone rushed towards Ye Qingtang, Ye Qingtang suddenly raised her hand and clenched her five fingers tightly against her own skin. With a sharp crack, she shattered the Demonic Emperor's Heart that everyone craved.

"Boom!"

At the moment when Ye Qingtang's heart shattered, a deafening explosion suddenly erupted on Lingyun Cliff!

The Demon Emperor's heart shattered, and the Qi of Heaven and Earth surged. A raging storm swept across Lingyun Cliff, shaking the very mountains and splitting the massive cliff into gaping chasms.

At this moment, Ye You and the others were already too preoccupied to care about anything else. They frantically fled back along the path they had come from.

Amidst the raging wind and trembling mountains, Ye Qingtang, who was resting in the harbor, fell into the abyss with a shattered boulder.

Then…

At that moment, a golden light shot down from the sky and struck Ye Qingtang who was falling.

Time, as if frozen in this very second.

A massive stone plummeted from the sky, hovering in mid-air. A fleeting shadow gracefully descended and landed upon it.

He was a handsome, breathtaking man, his white clothes fluttering in the wind. He stood motionless by Ye Qingtang's body, gazing at the gaping hole that had been ripped open, the faint breath slowly dissipating from the wound.

"Found it."

The melodious, low voice was ripped apart by the raging wind. The man slowly crouched down, his long and handsome fingers reaching towards the gushing wound. wisps of breath constantly flowed from Ye Qingtang's wound, dotting the man's palm, condensing into a half-bright heart.

But just as it was about to solidify, the energy suddenly dissipated. The heart that had just begun to coalesce scattered like a scattering of stars, falling around Ye Qingtang in an instant and disappearing without a trace.

In the depths of his eyes, a hint of emerald green flashed. "So it is..."

The next second, the man's finger suddenly tapped on Ye Qingtang's brow. A golden ray quietly melted into Ye Qingtang's brow...r's Heart, Ye You and his followers have trapped her atop this Lingyun Peak!Ye You, who was named by Ye Qingtang, frowned slightly, her eyes full of disdain. In her eyes, Ye Qingtang was nothing more...
