Chapter 1566: Chapter 89: Challenge to the Evil Empress

The Mother Empress snorted coldly, but did not retort, nor did she continue with any sarcasm.

Hou Chen’s eyes immediately turned red, tears welled up in them, but did not fall.

"Father, I will continue to teach you the inheritance. This time, you should be able to learn it without any problems."

Hou Chen choked, speaking with a shaking voice.

Zhou Yan waved his hand and said, "Chen Chen, you don’t need to teach me anymore. You taught very well before. After absorbing the Origin, I’ve recovered many lost memories, so this inheritance is not difficult anymore."

"However, I cannot cultivate here anymore; I need to learn and cultivate on the battlefield."

Zhou Yan said seriously.

Hou Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "In that case, Father, I need to tell you something."

"Go ahead."

Zhou Yan stared at Hou Chen; in truth, he had already guessed about what Hou Chen was going to say.

"The Emperor Soul Clan is proficient in the true Soul Path, so the Evil Empress of the Emperor Soul Clan has currently devoured and merged with my mother, Bi Shui Fairy’s soul. Bi Shui Fairy is the Evil Empress, and also among the Ten Thousand Immortals and Buddhas, and one of the greatest enemies of our Human Clan."

"Father, your task is to slay and refine Bi Shui Fairy using the Soul-devouring Technique of the Ancient Evil Dragon."

"My mother, Bi Shui Fairy, can no longer be saved. She abandoned me, abandoned you, and abandoned herself."

Hou Chen said painfully.

Zhou Yan’s heart was filled with awe, but his expression did not change much.

"I’m already aware of this. Mother Empress, come over here."

Zhou Yan said, suddenly turning his gaze toward the Mother Empress.

At this moment, Zhou Yan’s gaze was extraordinarily cold and sharp.

The Mother Empress’ body trembled, and she actually took a few steps back, panicked, "Zhou Yan, I, I have to leave now. We’ll continue our discussion next time!"

"Leave? Where do you think you’re going? I, Zhou Yan, am fair in reward and punishment. You can’t leave over this matter!"

"If you leave, I will refine and devour all the branches of the Life Ancient Tree of your Emperor Ancient Clan. I will destroy you first!"

Zhou Yan’s tone was extremely tyrannical and ferocious. At that moment, after his memory awakened and restored, his ferocious and stern personality also gradually emerged.

He seemed to transform, becoming a truly terrifying king.

Even someone as proud as the Mother Empress felt a chill at this moment, saying, "Zhou Yan, don’t go too far!"

"Get over here!"

Zhou Yan shouted coldly, like a sudden clap of thunder, striking the Mother Empress and causing her entire body to tremble, leaving her with no ability to resist.

The Mother Empress silently moved forward, standing beside Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan reached out his hand, and then forcefully tore off the mask covering the Mother Empress’ face.

In that instant, an incredibly beautiful and shockingly stunning face appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Upon seeing this appearance, not only Jiang Yuning, but even Gu Xi were filled with surprise and astonishment.

The Mother Empress’ face was very pale, yet her beauty was strikingly astonishing.

"Should I call you Wan Nishang? Or Lee Xinyu?"

Zhou Yan mocked coldly.

The Mother Empress’ face immediately turned pale, and her body began to tremble slightly.

"The Immortal Bone Blood Embryo, you truly have a good trick!"

Zhou Yan said, delivering a harsh slap.

"Slap—"

A dull sound echoed, and a bright red five-finger mark appeared on the Mother Empress’ face, causing her face to swell instantly.

"This is retribution for what you did back then, for Feng Lingqing and Hou Chen’s sake."

"And now."

Zhou Yan gently stroked the Mother Empress’ face, erasing all the marks on her face with the power of Nirvana Origin, and then said, "Now, consider it compensation."

"Wrong is wrong, right is right. Had it not been for your interference, the Soul Burying Starfield would not have turned out like that."

"Distorted space-time, turning black into white, changing heaven and earth, and repeatedly using the Life Ancient Tree to lure out my memories, attempting to awaken me truly from this True Void. Do you think I didn’t know your intentions?"

"Originally, you were sent by the Emperor Soul Clan to the Human Clan, to beguile Hou Yi’s Saint Spirit, just like Feng Zishuang and Zhou Lingyi were used to ensnare me!"

Zhou Yan said coldly.

His tone was no longer one of interrogation, but a statement!

The Mother Empress did not speak, just silently looked at Zhou Yan. Her eyes were filled with hatred, and also an inexplicable complex emotion.

At that moment, Zhou Yan’s mindset didn’t change, but he sighed and said, "Hou Yi’s Saint Spirit accompanied you through three lifetimes, living through them again and again. What were you thinking? Did you know where he has gone now?"

"I didn’t know before, but now I do. Do you know why you could see the Magic Cube of Life outside your Domain? It’s because Hou Yi’s Saint Spirit has been working hard! He’s been using all his Origin to connect everything between heaven and earth for you, shielding this world from your shackles."

"You wouldn’t know, nor would you think about it. You are truly a person without emotion!"

"But sometimes, when you show emotion, it seems laughable and very pitiful, do you know that?"

Zhou Yan scolded coldly, as if he was scolding a child.

Yet the powerful Mother Empress did not resist at all, allowing Zhou Yan to scold her.

Even Gu Xi and Mu Qingyan couldn’t bear to watch this spectacle.

But at this moment, Zhou Yan’s tone softened a bit.

Then, he continued to put the mask back on the Mother Empress’ face, once again shrouding her pale and beautiful face.

"Mother Empress, you should return and watch over my Sacrificial Heaven Ancient City carefully. I do not wish for anything to go wrong with them!"

"As for me, I will go and defeat the Evil Empress."

"Evil Empress."

Zhou Yan repeated the name ’Evil Empress’, and his heart was filled with bitterness.

Because he never thought that in the past, the one he first fell for wasn’t Zhou Lingyi, Feng Zishuang, or anyone else, but Bi Shui Fairy.

Because his love for Bi Shui Fairy was the origin of love, it was before any other woman.

And Hou Chen was born from this love, existed, and was copied over.

In reality... the matter between Bi Shui Fairy and him didn’t happen later in the Heavenly Court, but had already happened long before, and the later scenario was a duplicated one, yet the rerun of Fate’s trajectory.

As such, Hou Chen was born before Yanyan.

Therefore, Hou Chen returned to the Time Source point, attempting to slay himself.

Though the slaying succeeded, he was still nurtured, which was another reason for Hou Chen’s various Innate deficiencies.

Zhou Yan thought of this and couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

In human or Holy Spirit life, the most painful thing is when your beloved must fight to the death.

No matter who wins, the outcome will be exceedingly sorrowful.

Not to mention, the Mother Empress is unaware of the world beyond the Magic Cube, which is even more terrifying.

Zhou Yan sighed again and said, "Mother Empress, you need not worry. Follow me, and I will help you find your him. I hit you, but I believe you understand the reasons behind it more than I do, and you know you truly deserve it!"

"As for the rest of the matters, you can all rest assured to leave them to me now."

"As I stand now, even the Evil Emperor might only be evenly matched with my combat power."

"Evil Empress... must die."

Zhou Yan said, showing a hint of pain in his eyes.

Yet he hid this trace of pain very well.

He turned around without bidding farewell to anyone, and immediately, countless singularities emerged between heaven and earth, their particles combining, then forming a Void like the Reincarnation Ancient Land.

Within the Void, Zhou Yan projected his shadow and then gazed coldly inside, saying directly, "Bi Shui Fairy, Zhou Yan challenges you to battle!"

His voice was like rolling thunder; as his voice sounded, the Reincarnation Ancient Land immediately began to tremble violently, as if endless dire Destruction rules were about to descend. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"You’ve finally awakened? Good, very good. I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time!"

From within the Reincarnation Ancient Land came a cold, proud, and unfeeling voice.

This voice belonged to Bi Shui Fairy, yet the familiarity of it was already chilling.
