Chapter 366: The Holy King’s Prophecy, the Price of Profound Song!
“What did you say? You can make me stronger, to that extent!”
Li Xiang’s pupils dilated, as if he had heard the greatest joke of all time.
His first reaction was that the other party was teasing him.
Even though he was used to being arrogant and thought the world should revolve around him, he still knew just how ridiculous the other person’s words were!
That guest senior clearly possessed the strength to slay sages, while he was merely in the Heaven-Cutting Realm; the gap between them was akin to that of a giant dragon and an ant, without the need for comparison.
But even so, a trace of delusion still lingered in his heart!
“I am your fiancée; how could I lie to you? Don’t believe me? Just watch!”
Profound Song smiled slightly and directly unleashed her aura, the Third Layer of Sage, without a hint of deception, nearly pressing Li Xiang to the ground.
Upon witnessing this scene, Li Xiang completely believed it, and he was instantly filled with excitement.
“I knew I was an unparalleled genius. The reason I’ve been so anonymous is that I haven’t found the shortcut. Now hurry up and tell me how to make myself stronger!”
His eyes sparkled with madness as he grasped the other person’s shoulders, shaking her frantically.
However, he didn’t notice that a trace of disdain laced with killing intent flickered in Profound Song’s eyes.
“Of course, who else would I help if not you? It’s a pity that my path cannot be replicated, but fortunately, you also have your very own shortcut!”
“Is that so?”
Hearing the first half of her words, Li Xiang’s expression darkened, but upon hearing the rest, his thoughts sprang back to life!
“Why do I feel like you’re different now? We met before, and you were clearly very disdainful of me. Why do you seem like a different person now?”
Li Xiang questioned suspiciously, feeling that the person before him was vastly different from his memory.
“That’s because I’ve grown up! People change over time. I’ve realized that Brother Xiang is not bad at all, truly promising!”
Once those words were spoken, they instantly dispelled his concerns and made him feel elated.
“Indeed, gold shines wherever it may be; only you can see my brilliance, and I’m very happy!”
Li Xiang said endlessly, “Once I obtain absolute power, I will definitely marry you as my main wife. As for Azure Cold Moon, from now on, she can only be a concubine!”
Hearing this, Profound Song’s smile did not wane, but her fists clenched tightly.
“You little ant sure knows how to dream. Well, enjoy your last beautiful dream; by then, I will make you die in the utmost pain!”
“Come with me!”
Profound Song tugged at Li Xiang’s sleeve and quickly walked out of the room, weaving through until they reached the most critical secret chamber of the Li Family.
“Isn’t this a forbidden area in my house? Why are you bringing me here… ah!!”
Li Xiang was still puzzled when he suddenly sensed a terrifying presence, sitting down with a thud and shouting.
“What a coward, unable to withstand such a minor scene!”
Profound Song couldn’t help but disdain in her heart; before them lay a sea of corpses, all Li Family strong warriors who had been guarding the secret chamber, slaughtered by Profound Song in a short time!
“What is going on? Why are they all dead?”
“My guess is that they were assassinated by infiltrators. The Li Family is no longer safe; you might just become the next target!”
“No, I don’t want to die! You are my fiancée; you must save me!”
Li Xiang was nearly driven mad with fear and attempted to cling to Profound Song’s legs, but she easily dodged him.
“Don’t be afraid, as long as you possess powerful strength, no one can hurt you. Come with me quickly!”
She boldly pushed open the door and entered the secret chamber, confronting the incomplete body of the Holy King.
Li Xiang trembled as he entered, and upon seeing the sight before him, he was once again scared to the point of collapsing on the ground.
“Wh… who is this?!”
“You don’t need to know who he is; just understand that he can help you rise to greatness!”
Profound Song said expressionlessly, and with a clang, she threw a uniquely shaped knife in front of Li Xiang.
“Use this knife to kill him!”
“What did you say?”
Li Xiang said incredulously, his entire body shaking.
“I think I shouldn’t have to repeat myself. This person possesses incredible strength, and his fortune has become one with the Li Family.”
“As long as you stab this knife into his chest, everything will belong to you, and your body is the only one capable of enduring it. Time is of the essence… why aren’t you moving?!”
“I… I…”
Li Xiang’s legs trembled, nearly scared into submission. The person before him was clearly a terrifying figure, and he lacked the courage to confront him with a blade!
“Don’t be afraid. This man just released immense power; while his eyes are still open, he is at his most vulnerable. You only have one chance!”
Profound Song gently coaxed, “Do you really want to live your whole life as a weakling, watching that guest senior rise to the top and embrace your goddess wantonly…”
“No! I will never allow it!”
Suddenly, Li Xiang erupted in fury, grasping the long knife and driving it straight through the Holy King’s chest!
“Poof!!”
No blood flowed out; only a stream of black energy crawled up the long knife, merging with Li Xiang’s body.
“Ah… this feeling is both painful and intoxicating!”
Li Xiang closed his eyes, savoring the experience.
At that moment, the Holy King’s eyes opened again, staring directly at Profound Song.
Then he laughed, making the other party feel uncomfortable.
“What are you laughing at? You should be furious for being plotted against and killed by me!”
A sudden, uncontrollable irritation rose in Profound Song’s heart, and she bluntly asked.
Under normal circumstances, she would never have been so talkative.
“Girl, I must thank you. Thanks to you, the gears I’ve long awaited have finally begun to turn!”
Once this statement was made, Profound Song furrowed her brow even tighter.
“You are bluffing. I have already seen a future that is advantageous to me, and the future I see is bound to occur. No one can change it!”
“I know, it is indeed an incredible talent and divine ability; however, no matter how strong the divine ability, it cannot overcome the Void Self Realm within the Six Realms of Becoming Emperor!”
“Soon, you will be the one to atone, with your own body!”
“Hmph! Truly a bunch of nonsense!”
Profound Song panicked for just a moment before quickly becoming incredibly resolute.
As a Pre-Heaven Supreme, her mindset was probably second only to Zhou Tong.
In the blink of an eye, the Holy King’s body had transformed into a mass of pitch-black energy, tightly wrapping around Li Xiang, turning into a cocoon.
Within it, unparalleled energy began to gather, seemingly on the verge of being reborn.
“Very well, everything is ready!”
Profound Song smiled slightly, feeling even more confident inside.
At that moment, the jade amulet on her body suddenly lit up, transmitting her subordinate’s voice.
“Report, Young Master, that Zhou Tong has been captured. Should we send him to you immediately?”
“No need. I want to go pick him up myself. I want to see what capabilities this person has to compare with me!”
