Chapter 2851: Spring and Autumn Calligraphy
Dissonant Melody wasn't an Annihilation envoy for nothing. When he was on the verge of death, he suddenly unleashed a violent counterattack, determined to drag everyone around him down as well.
Just then, he saw a brush flowing across the air, drawing out a brilliant river that reflected the rise and destruction of countless nations, as well as the lifetimes of heroes and generals. It was the river of history!
His terrifying attack was scattered in the river of history, failing to hurt anyone in real life.
âAnnals of History!â Dissonant Melody recognized the move as a Memory skill.
Itâs that fellow!
It was all over.
Dissonant Melody was powerful, but Deathâs power gnawed away at him until he had barely a breath left. He surveyed his surroundings with widened eyes, shocked that his beloved Harjol was simply standing off to the side, not intervening at all.
âWhy?â
This question was neither directed at Zu An nor to Jiang Luofu. The former was in the enemy camp, whereas the latter was Order's divine maiden. It was understandable for them to move against him.
But why is Harjol not helping me?
The Little Fiend Empress let out a sigh. âBecause I've been Ah Zuâs woman all along.â
She took her place next to Zu An.
Dissonant Melody spat out a huge puddle of blood. âImpossible. Was the time you spent with me all an act?â
You have successfully trolled Dissonant Melody for +999... +999... +999...
What could plunge a man deeper into despair than witnessing his beloved woman walking into another manâs arms?
The Little Fiend Empress twirled her finger, and five-colored lights swirled around her, emanating a sweet fragrance of lust.
Dissonant Melody had accrued enough knowledge in his lifetime to understand what he was seeing. He widened his eyes in disbelief and roared, âThe power of Bliss and Desire! Everything I felt was a mere illusion! How could I have...â
He felt his life nearing its limit, but his face remained twisted. âYou adulterous couple! I won't spare you even as a ghost!â
With that, he breathed his last, though he wasnât worried in the slightest.
Entities like him had not just a powerful body, but a powerful soul as well. Even when his body died, he could still exert considerable prowess through his soul. On top of that, he had plenty of ways to return to life. He would make those who betrayed him regret ever being born.
Zu An sighed. âYou wonât have a chance.â
Dissonant Melodyâs soul tore itself away from his body to flee toward a place where he had kept a secret hand. With Annihilation power protecting his soul, death wasn't the end for him.
However, he suddenly felt extreme cold. It was a feeling of subjugation coming from the depths of his soul.
âHow is this possible?!â Dissonant Melody couldnât understand how he felt such deep fear toward Zu An despite being the stronger one here. It felt as if his very existence hinged on Zu Anâs will. Furthermore, this feeling had only arisen after he died.
Zu An stared at Dissonant Melody calmly. Since he'd made a move, he was going to do a clean job and not risk trouble in the future.
He opened the Netherworld Book of Life and Death and invoked his authority as the Netherworldâs master. At his will, the powerful soul before him disintegrated.
âYou are Deathâs succe...â
Dissonant Melody couldnât finish speaking. A powerhouse vanished just like that.
Zu An used the Kunpeng and Taotieâs devouring ability to absorb Dissonant Melodyâs energy, and he could feel his strength growing rapidly. Dissonant Melody did live up to his reputation as a top-notch expert.
Zu An felt dazed. He had been fighting and absorbing the energies of all kinds of formidable foes. Before he knew it, he had suddenly reached level 90.
It had been a long while since he paid any attention to his level, as he hadnât thought that the leveling system corresponded well with the Myriad Worldsâ power scaling. His level only made the experts of other worlds think that he was very weak, causing them to misjudge his strength.
But what did Dissonant Melodyâs final words mean? Am I destined to be Deathâs successor?
He'd definitely noticed his intricate ties with Death, such as the Netherworld Book of Life and Death, the Necropolis Emperor, and the Poisonous Prick. From the looks of it, the Poisonous Prick could have been the weapon used by the Deity of Death back then.
âAh Zu, are you all right?â the Little Fiend Empress and Jiang Luofu anxiously asked Zu An. Both of them had sensed the terrifying power harnessed by Dissonant Melodyâs dying counterattack.
âIâm fine. Itâs all thanks to the two of you cooperating with me.â Zu An held their hands.
The Conqueror King had shared with him in elaborate detail Dissonant Melodyâs cultivation and abilities.
The one who knows you the best is not yourself, but your enemy.
On top of that, Dorgon had used his authority to dispatch Dissonant Melodyâs aides elsewhere, leaving the latter unguarded. Even so, Zu An couldnât have done this without the help of the Little Fiend Empress and Jiang Luofu.
Jiang Luofu had used her Order power to construct a space most suitable for them to counteract Dissonant Melodyâs distorted laws. That had played a vital role in how Zu An killed Dissonant Melody so easily.
Now that their greatest enemy was dead, Jiang Luofu finally relaxed. âI didnât help much. The Little Fiend Empress' ability is whatâs truly formidable. To think that she plunged an Annihilation envoy into an illusion.â
The Little Fiend Empress looked melancholic. âAs powerful as the Deity of Bliss and Desireâs power is, its effects would have been greatly weakened if he wasnât willing to believe in them.â
JIang Luofu was truly impressed with the Little Fiend Empress' ability to deal with men, but it felt almost like an insult to compliment her in that aspect.
Zu An sensed the Little Fiend Empress' woe. âAre you thinking about your special constitution again?â
The Little Fiend Empress nodded. âMy Sacred Widow Body is a curse. Anyone who marries me will not have a good end. Ah Zu, you must never have any title with me.â
That had been the case with the Fiend Emperor, and it was the same for Dissonant Melody as well. Even though they were only a couple in name, he couldnât avoid the fate of random death. She was extremely worried that she would jinx Zu An as well.
Zu An pulled her into his embrace and consoled her.
Some time later, the two women looked at Dissonant Melodyâs corpse with worried eyes. âWhat should we do next?â
Dissonant Melody had a huge following of loyal subjects. If they made a wrong move here, it could result in their doom.
âThatâs easy.â Zu An smiled. He revealed the plan he'd devised beforehand to them.
They disposed of Dissonant Melodyâs body, then Zu An impersonated Dissonant Melody using Myriad Transformations.
On a random day, Empress Harjol abruptly passed away from illness. Due to extreme grief, âHuang Taijiâsâ accumulated traumas from his cultivation deviation suddenly acted up, resulting in him becoming far weaker than before.
Whenever âHuang Taijiâ spoke with people from the Annihilation faction, he subtly let slip the immense sorrow and desolation he harbored in his heart, which became an omen to those around him.
One night, his symptoms suddenly acted up, and he died in the palace.
This process was written down using Zu An's ability as a Time Scribe, so no one doubted anything.
âDorgonâ hadnât thought that âHuang Taijiâ would pass away just like that, but he was still overjoyed. However, he soon realized that his celebration was premature. âHuang Taijiâ still had many loyal subjects, and they supported his son in claiming authority.
So, âDorgonâ decided to marry his âdaughterâ, Zhao Xiaodie, off to Zu An to win him over, in hopes that the latter would aid him in claiming the Annihilation envoyâs authority.
