Xu Shan was taken aback by the sight that greeted him upon his return. The devastation before him far surpassed anything he could have expected to be waiting for him during his return.
The once majestic Celestial Realm now lay in ruins, devoid of any signs of life. Cities that were once bustling with activity now lay in ruins, reduced to nothing but rubble and ashes.
Having transmigrated into the body of the Third Prince of the Eternal Dynasty, Xu Shan didn't have a strong emotional attachnt to this world.
He had spent very little ti here and had no personal connections or friendships. However, despite this lack of personal investnt, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.
It was evident that the person responsible for the destruction of the Celestial Realm was sending a clear ssage to him.
They wanted him to understand that even a realm as powerful as the Celestial Realm could be brought to its knees. The destruction served as a reminder of the potential consequences he himself would face.
Xu Shan's face remained devoid of emotion, leaving the woman standing beside him perplexed. She couldn't decipher his thoughts or intentions. However, before long, she felt a chilling sensation crawl down her spine.
The heavy aura of killing intent perated the entire realm, and its source was none other than Xu Shan himself.
Despite both of them being in the first layer of the Immortal Celestial Realm, she found herself suffocating under the sheer force of his killing intent. The vast disparity in strength between them beca glaringly evident.
Though Xu Shan's face remained unreadable, his intense killing intent conveyed his thoughts clearly. It also made the woman realise that the carnage that had befallen this place was not of his doing.
Fortunately, before the Divine Empress could be hard, Xu Shan retracted his killing intent. In that mont, a wave of relief washed over the woman.
"Are you alright?" she asked Xu Shan.
Xu Shan glanced at her, his face carrying a smile. She didn't know why, but she found that smile very scary. It was as if that smile was hiding a lot of nightmares waiting to beco reality.
"I'm fine," he answered. "A friend left a gift. I was just thinking about the return gift,"
"Co, I'll show you my ho," he added as he flew towards the Royal City of Eternal Dynasty which was in an even worse condition.
Following behind Xu Shan, the woman couldn't help but wonder just what kind of existence Xu Shan offended.
To cause a similar level of destruction, it was impossible for an ordinary being. Even the strongest person in the upper realm couldn't cause this destruction.
She was certain that this was caused by people from the Realm of Immortals. And it wasn't the work of any normal person from there either.
She hadn't even entered the Heavenly Realm yet she already ca to know that Xu Shan had powerful enemies in that place. She didn't know what the future held for her, but one thing was certain. She was stuck with Xu Shan.
If she tried to leave, he was going to kill him. And if she didn't, his enemies might kill her. At the end of the day, she made a choice.
If dying was the only option left, she preferred a potential death in the future than a certain death in this mont.
Xu Shan stepped at the ruins of what used to be the Royal Palace where his father lived. Not far from him, there were ruins of his own palace. Unfortunately, other than the ruins, nothing was left.
He could also see so signs of battle. But for the most part, it was a one sided massacre.
"My ho." Xu Shan picked up a piece of stone on the ground, tossing it towards the Divine Empress. "It's good, isn't it?"
The Divine Empress caught the stone, not knowing how to react.
"Now that you've seen my ho, we should get to our new destination." Xu Shan stood up, creating an aura sword.
He used the sword to slice through space and ti, cutting through the barrier that seperated the Upper Realm from the Immortal Realm.
As he sliced through the space, a spatial crack opened. The Spatial Crack was wide enough for many people to enter. But slowly, the space was healing itself.
Xu Shan observed the ruined world one last ti. His mind still had many questions. Why were the people from the Heavenly Realm after him? Was it because they knew about the Book of Desires? Or was there sothing else?
If it was about the Book of Desires, they wouldn't have destroyed an entire world. It wasn't sothing that could be done by a Heaven's Chosen. Instead, it was only sothing that a Villain like him could do.
He had a feeling that this wasn't because of the Book of Desires. It was because of him. But why? That question kept troubling him. Why were they related to him?
He didn't think much as the portal was getting smaller by the second. He stepped closer to the Divine Empress, placing his arms around her waist.
Holding her, he entered the Spatial Crack, leaving behind his temporary ho, not knowing if he was ever going to return to this godforsaken place.
Both him and the Divine Empress had lost their hos. One lost out because of her own ambitions to beco stronger.
anwhile the other lost his ho twice. Once, because of death. As for the second ti, it was at the hands of soone else.
None of them had a place to return to. All they had were their separate desires that made them walk down this path.
At this mont, the Divine Empress didn't realise just what kind of existence she was accompanying and how that existence was going to turn the world upside down.
The mont Xu Shan stepped into the Realm of Immortals, it started a new chapter in his life... A dark chapter that was sothing that the world wasn't ready for…
