This time, everything was clearer, completely different from when the Heavenly Demon In Black narrated the story.

In front of everyone was an image of a man exuding boundless aura, approaching to touch a divine sword floating in midair.

Along with him was a breathtakingly beautiful woman dressed in the attire of a Xiyu Dancer, standing behind him as if waiting for him.

The moment his hand touched it, the sword glowed as if it were the purest thing in the world, instantly turning black.

It emitted intense demonic energy.

It was just like when the Phantom of The Immortal Blade entered the Demonblade state.

An old voice began to resonate.

"The one who accepts the destiny of the Immortal Blade will face the inner demon of the Immortal Blade."

The sword seemed to scream, then it began to wrap around the man's hand.

His eyes, once filled with righteousness, suddenly turned entirely black with blood.

The demonic aura filled the room. The woman was also extremely frightened.

She shook him, trying to pull the sword from his hand.

But no matter what she did, she couldn't stop the demonic energy from invading the man's body.

In the end, the fearful expression on the woman's face transformed into determination.

She directly grabbed the blade and thrust it into herself.

The man was stunned; in that moment, the demonic energy suddenly disappeared.

Yet it all inversely entered the woman instead.

In his eyes, now returned to normal but filled with blood-red streaks and horror, the scene darkened with a desperate scream.

"NO!!!"

The sound echoed in everyone's ears.

The next scene showed the Xiyu Dancer, her body covered in blood, smiling at him.Her gentle smile seemed infinite, as if everything was going to be okay.

"It's alright, as long as it's you, you can do it."

In the eyes that started to lack reflection, the body seemed about to collapse.

The man caught her body when the demonic aura flared up, once again attempting to take control of him.

Her eyes widened as she immediately pulled away from him, drawing the demonic energy back into herself.

Her eyes now were purely black.

On her pallid skin, veins of deep black stood out prominently.

She had died.

At this moment, she resembled more a zombie than a human.

What moved her lifeless body was her obsession.

An obsession to protect him.

And just by being near, this demonic energy would find every way to invade him once more.

He was the Immortal Blade.

She was the Heavenly Demon.

The Heavenly Demon used her own body to imprison the Inner Demon of the Immortal Blade.

So he could truly become an immortal without suffering a moment of torment.

But because of this, she could never be by his side again.

With just a moment of lapse, the demonic energy within her would tear apart the one she loved most.

Thus, the Heavenly Demon lived for an untold amount of time in pain and torment.

The feeling of suffocating breath filled the heart of the Heavenly Demon In Black who was watching the screen at this moment.

A few tears fell.

She looked at the Immortal Blade standing in the City of Azure Flames.

"I don't know if you can hear my words at this moment."

"But the memories you gave me in this life, I will cherish for all eternity."

"Unfortunately, fate is not something one can simply wish upon."

"You and I, we're not meant to be together."

"I love you, but what I bring to you is torment, pressure, a weakness."

"If it hurts you, and I continue, then that is not my love."

"I hope you understand me."

The Heavenly Demon In Black cried.

The tears flowed incessantly.

The world is always so contradictory.

Cut to the scene that No One had once seen.

The Heavenly Demon's blade was raised, but her form at this moment was truly chaotic.

More like a demon than a human.

Blood vessels were crawling all over her body, her hair was coarse and grotesque.

Teeth were mottled, filled with malicious fangs.

The demonic energy had caused her body to decay to the utmost.

"Stop it."

"Please, stop."

The voice choked up, as if it could burst into tears at any moment.

"Don't you understand!?? We can't be the same as before anymore!!!"

Tears streamed from the eyes of the Heavenly Demon In Black.

"This life... This life..."

The voice grew more and more pained.

Muttering from this life.

She couldn't bear to finish the sentence.

"This life, we cannot be together."

In her heart, she wanted to be with him.

But she considered it her own selfishness.She swallowed that thought.

Threatening the Immortal Blade not to advance even a single step.

He said nothing, just slowly approached.

As if the world at this moment had fallen silent.

He gently embraced her.

The furious, resentful face of the Heavenly Demon suddenly became innocent like that of a girl he met, long ago.

A warm feeling just held her dearly like that.

"I made you suffer injustices."

The Immortal Blade kissed her forehead.

"From then until now, I have tormented myself."

"It is my incompetence, unable to control the Inner Demon."

"It is my weakness, unable to protect the one I love."

Despite her current form being grotesque and utterly hideous.

The Immortal Blade kissed her.

Directly allowing the demonic energy to penetrate him.

The Heavenly Demon widened her eyes.

"No. No!!!!"

"Stop immediately!!!!"

In her heart, she screamed.

Her eyes gradually returned to their original form. The black color faded away.

While the demonic energy surged forth, spreading in all directions. As if elated.

It had escaped the decaying body.

"I am useless, I am weak."

"But I know one thing."

"You love me."

"Love me with all your heart."

The Immortal Blade smiled while his Inner Demon was tearing him apart.

She suddenly realized something.

Her body began to glow.

Her skin and flesh healed, brimming with vitality.

Her former beauty returned, even more perfect than before.

It was as if she had been resurrected, no longer just a decaying body, moving only by her own obsession.

She suddenly understood.

This was celestial energy emanating from her body.

The Immortal Blade was absorbing the Inner Demon while transferring all his power to her.

Turning her directly into an Immortal.

The Immortal Blade was now confronting the Inner Demon.

His body withered like a corpse.

"Who do you think you are to harm her?"

"Even if I fall today, I will make you suffer a hundred million times the pain she endured."

The scene was utter chaos.

Celestial energy and demonic energy mingled within the Immortal Blade.

The Heavenly Demon cried.

She wept uncontrollably at the sight before her.

She wanted to stop him, but she couldn't.

Her body stood there, helplessly watching.

Just like when her body acted on the obsession "to protect him."

The celestial energy of the Immortal Blade carried his eternal obsession.

"Protect her."

She bit her lip until it bled.

Trying his best, he extended a hand, reaching for the demonic energy.

"You bastard."

"Fool."

"Let's see whose obsession is stronger, yours or mine."

That hand reached directly towards the Immortal Blade, who was enduring torment.

But in truth, her body remained stationary.

The soul of the Heavenly Demon rejected the obsession of the body.

It separated from the body.

The sky in all directions was filled with demonic energy.

It continuously spread, as if intending to swallow the heavens and earth.

"Qiu Yu."

The Heavenly Demon was startled.

It was her name.

The music began to play.

It was the cube that No One just used.

A game glitch?

Perhaps the cutscene was nearing its end, and the system was reloading the battle scene data.

"Do you remember the first time we met?"

"Surely, you think it was when I saw you in Xiyu, killing those scums who kidnapped and sold orphans."

"I know you were angry. Because you too were once one of those children."

"But you don't know, I was also once one of those children."

【From then on, there was only a shadow of one person in me.】

"A lost child in this world, having a big sis among those orphans."

"When I was sad, she was by my side."

"When I cried, she comforted me."

"Don't cry anymore."

【How small we once seemed.】

"I'll protect you. When we grow up, we'll protect each other."

【That year you carried a small chair.】

"Then that year, to protect me, she sneaked alone into the kidnappers' place and saved me."

【Because I was captivated by the play, I followed without hesitation.】】

"And yet, she couldn't escape from the clutches of those disgusting people."

【I strained my eyes, searching for the person from the past.】

"Wandering alone for so many years. I only knew to train day by day to protect myself."

【You are the part that can never be absent.】

"When I saw her figure back then."

【You drowsed with eyes closed under the little tree.】

"I knew, I had found the person I had to protect again."

【And I, small and foolish, kept waiting.】

"We'll protect each other."

"Qiu Yu."

A blinding light like the one that engulfed the heavens and the earth.

The demonic energy seemed to vanish with that light.

Self-destruction.

The Immortal Blade self-destructed!!!

Completely erased that Inner Demon!!!

Pushed the soul of the Heavenly Demon back into the body.

Leaving the Heavenly Demon In Black alone, staring into the void.

Two streams of tears flowed endlessly.

A wailing scream pierced the heart.

Screaming until there was no more breath, the shriek still echoed.

The cutscene ended.
