Chapter 2366 - 2363: The Truth Behind the Betrayal

At the moment when the Soul Loss Bell was struck by Ye Xuan.

The defeat of the Double Emperors was destined.

Empress Changxi revealed all her trump cards to resist the power of the Soul Loss Bell.

But the result was that the unseen power of the Soul Loss Bell surged into the Life Palace of Empress Changxi, making her Emperor Soul melt away like snow under a Fierce Sun.

Bang!

Even so, Empress Changxi attempted to operate the nine Emperor Techniques she cultivated, intending to disperse that force.

Empress Changxi’s talent was higher than that of Emperor Mu.

Emperor Mu had cultivated seven Great Emperor Immortal Skills.

However, Empress Changxi had cultivated nine Great Emperor Immortal Skills.

Yet even nine Great Emperor Immortal Skills were futile.

The power of the Soul Loss Bell existed in an invisible form, transcending All Things, directly striking the soul’s origin.

No one could withstand it.

Unless they escaped right from the start.

But since the one who acted was Ye Xuan, even escaping was impossible.

Emperor Mu was an example.

At the moment Ye Xuan acted, Emperor Mu was prepared to retreat, but was still struck by the power of the Soul Loss Bell and then pierced through his emperor body by the Slaughter Immortal Spear.

Buzz————

As Empress Changxi was struck by the power of the Soul Loss Bell, the nine Immortal Swords lost their power at this moment, swaying and being swept into the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd by Guo Hezu on the spot.

The Sky Covering Snow Phoenix also disappeared at this moment.

The Divine Gate of the Void Divine Realm closed.

Ye Xuan, wielding the Soul Loss Bell, descended in front of Empress Changxi.

At this moment, Empress Changxi, with her eyes tightly closed and complexion pale as paper, seemed as if she could collapse at any moment.

Gazing closely at this once very familiar pillow-side companion, Ye Xuan’s eyes were incredibly calm.

There were many things.

In fact, the answers had been there long ago.

Buzz————

It was also at this moment.

Ye Xuan used the Invincible Emperor Soul that he hadn’t used in a long time.

The Invincible Emperor Soul went straight along Empress Changxi’s brow, drilling into the Mud Ball Palace of Empress Changxi.

Under the gaze of Ye Xuan’s Emperor Soul, the Emperor Soul of Empress Changxi was rapidly dissolving.

This was a power more terrifying than the Great Emperor’s calamity.

Striking directly at the soul!

Empress Changxi’s Emperor Soul naturally sensed the invasion of Ye Xuan’s Emperor Soul.

But she had no way to stop it.

She could only watch as Ye Xuan entered her Sea of Consciousness.

Ye Xuan did not waste words, directly entering the Sea of Consciousness to investigate Empress Changxi’s memory.

However, this investigation was not a Soul Search.

But rather observing from the perspective of a bystander.

Empress Changxi was a Great Emperor, her Emperor Soul had long entered another level.

A being of this level could simply not be Soul Searched.

If one forcibly Soul Searched, it would instead lead to unnecessary trouble.

Ye Xuan naturally understood this, so he did not forcibly Soul Search.

Instead, he used the power of the Soul Loss Bell to observe Empress Changxi’s memory from a bystander’s perspective.

At the moment, Empress Changxi’s Emperor Soul was very unstable, as if it might disperse at any moment.

In such a situation, all her life’s memories would surface.

Of course, under normal circumstances, no one could invade the Sea of Consciousness of a Great Emperor.

Ye Xuan was an absolute exception.

Because his Emperor Soul was different from that of a Great Emperor.

His peak was far higher than that of a Great Emperor.

And earlier, when he journeyed to the Inverted Sky and encountered that strange change, the fusion of the character ’Xuan’ with his Emperor Soul, his Emperor Soul was already 90% restored.

And in the world today, those who could block his Invincible Emperor Soul could be counted on one hand.

Even if the Double Emperors carried the Tian Ming, it didn’t really count for much.

Ye Xuan quietly watched the memories of Empress Changxi’s life.

Repeating the process.

Watching many times.

Gradually understanding why Empress Changxi would kill him.

Two reasons.

One was the Nine-colored Human Shadows.

The other was Empress Changxi herself...

This person was ill.

Her mind was ill!

Or perhaps saying.

Empress Changxi had two personalities.

One was extremely obsessed with Ye Xuan.

The other was a nearly pathological twisted demon.

This situation appeared when Ye Xuan first met Empress Changxi.

Back when Ye Xuan intentionally left without saying goodbye, a seed was planted in Empress Changxi’s heart.

And when Empress Changxi expressed her love to Ye Xuan at her deathbed, it was the moment when the two personalities fully formed.

And Empress Changxi knew she had two personalities.

With her power, she had the ability to eradicate the other personality.

But she did not do so.

Instead, she chose to let it grow.

And finally, after contact with the Nine-colored Human Shadows, she gave rise to such terrifying thoughts.

In Changxi’s heart, Ye Xuan could only belong to her alone.

No one else could have him.

And what Changxi deemed as no one else having him was different from normal people’s understanding.

In her cognition, if Ye Xuan taught Mu Yun the Great Emperor Immortal Skill, it was also a form of betrayal.

This was an extremely twisted kind of affection.

So in her view, the only way was to kill Ye Xuan, keeping him forever by her side as the only way to have Ye Xuan all to herself.

Upon reaching this conclusion, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but slightly furrow his brow.

Is this the so-called truth?

Perhaps not entirely.

Ye Xuan watched Empress Changxi’s lifetime memory a few more times.

The biggest problem still lay with the Nine-colored Human Shadows.

But this time, Ye Xuan had another conjecture.

Is it possible...

That from the moment Changxi was born, it was a plot aimed at him?

Including Mu Yun.

Because neither Changxi nor Mu Yun had their past lives seen by Ye Xuan.

If so, it would mean that Changxi and Mu Yun were part of a scheme set up by the Nine-colored Human Shadows from the start!

"If that’s the case, surely you left a measure here!"

Ye Xuan looked at the depths of Empress Changxi’s Emperor Soul.

Thinking about it, Ye Xuan intentionally suppressed the power of the Soul Loss Bell a little, allowing Empress Changxi’s Emperor Soul to breathe for a moment.

But before Empress Changxi could react, Ye Xuan’s Emperor Soul, like a Divine Sword, pierced straight into the depths of Empress Changxi’s Emperor Soul!

Bang!

It was also at this moment.

A sudden burst of extremely terrifying power erupted from the depths of Empress Changxi’s Emperor Soul!

That power contained a breath of Origin Power.

"Just as I thought!"

Ye Xuan’s eyes flickered with a cold gleam.

"I must see what your true origin is!"

Buzz————

Ye Xuan’s Emperor Soul did not back down, directly colliding with that terrifying power!

Bang!

It was also at this moment that the Origin Power suddenly transformed into Nine-colored Human Shadows, raising a fist to attack Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan, unfazed, also raised a fist to strike at the Nine-colored Human Shadows.

At the instant the two touched, Ye Xuan was stunned.

The Nine-colored Human Shadows passed directly through Ye Xuan and then vanished.

Simultaneously.

Ye Xuan felt that a trace of his Emperor Soul had recovered.

Ye Xuan stood there dazed, looking down at his own hands, momentarily lost in thought.

"Die!"

After a while.

Empress Changxi’s Emperor Soul seemed to recover, sensing Ye Xuan’s Emperor Soul, and let out a furious roar, intending to destroy Ye Xuan’s Emperor Soul.

Ye Xuan’s Emperor Soul moved, returning to his body.

Ye Xuan looked at the deathly pale Empress Changxi with a complex expression.
