Chapter 2152: Song of the Moon Part 6
His voice shook the heavens.
The declaration rippled through the arena, reverberating in every heart, every soul.
A moment of stunned silence.
Then—
Gasps.
Shock.
But at the same time—
Understanding.
It was a battle between two Divine Children.
And Dian Jiuzhi…
He was no longer himself when the battle ended.
He had become something else entirely.
His defeat was undeniable.
"Huff… huff… huff…"
Hearing Carefree's decree, Shen Wuyi's bloodstained lips parted.
The last of her willpower finally unraveled.
Her knees buckled.
Her trembling fingers, still gripping her sword, slowly loosened.
And at last—
She collapsed.
Her body hit the arena floor with a soft, final thud.
Her lashes fluttered once, her vision swimming.
Then—
Darkness.
She had finally allowed herself to fall unconscious.
With a casual motion, Carefree sent the unconscious Dian Jiuzhi toward Boundless Divine Regent Rahu.
Rahu's eyes flickered, his expression unreadable, but he caught his son effortlessly, steadying his broken, battered body and soul in his arms.
For a brief moment, he stared down at his son.
Then, without a word, he turned toward the Abyssal Monarch, bowing deeply in respectful submission.
With that, he took off toward the sky.
The members of Boundless Divine Kingdom immediately followed, their elders, knights, and attendants departing in silence, taking their wounded prince away with them.
As their presence faded from the battlefield, Carefree finally turned his attention downward—
Toward Shen Wuyi.
Her bloodied form lay motionless on the arena floor, her once-radiant Divine Domain now completely extinguished.
The air around her was still.
Her figure, once bathed in celestial light, now seemed frail, almost unbearably fragile.
The remnants of her sword lay beside her, its once-roaring brilliance now dim and lifeless.
Before Carefree could act—
"Wuyi!!!"
A desperate cry tore through the air as Eternal Night's elders surged forward, rushing toward their fallen Divine Daughter.
The moment they reached her, they wasted no time.
Their hands glowed with divine power, sparing no effort as they injected their strength into her body, stabilizing her fragile life force.
Their expressions were grave—a mix of worry and urgency.
Her body trembled faintly beneath their hands, but—
Her breathing, slow and weak, gradually stabilized.
One of the elders let out a heavy breath of relief.
"She's stable!"
Without hesitation, they carefully lifted her unconscious form and carried her away toward their seating area, each step deliberate, each movement cautious—
As if carrying something far too precious to risk shattering.
From the stands, Yun Che watched in silence, his fists clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white.
His chest felt tight, suffocated by emotions he couldn't name.
"Qingyue..."
Her broken, bloodied figure was right before his eyes—but he could do nothing.
The elders of Eternal Night hurriedly carried her away, every step filled with urgency, ensuring her fragile life force remained stable.
Yet, before Shen Wuyi could even reach Lightless Divine Regent, a voice thundered across the battlefield.
A decree filled with the absolute might of a True God.
"STOP RIGHT THERE!"
The arena shuddered beneath the combined authority of two divine beings.
The Moon and Star Divine Regents.
Their words crashed down like celestial judgment, rippling through the space with overwhelming force.
"What do you think you're doing?!!!"
Their voices echoed, laced with undeniable fury and intent.
The air grew suffocating.
A heavy, almost unbearable silence swallowed the battlefield.
All eyes turned toward the three Divine Regents.
Shen Yanye, the Lightless Divine Regent, remained perfectly still, her expression unchanged—but the air around her sharpened.
Her crimson lips curled ever so slightly, yet there was no amusement in her gaze.
It was cold. Calculated. Dangerous.
Though her aura remained restrained, the faintest pulse of her power sent cracks splintering through space itself.
The air felt poised on the edge of a blade.
"You should know that kidnapping someone from another Divine Kingdom is forbidden, Shen Yanye,"
The Moon Divine Regent's voice was like a blade, every syllable razor-sharp with accusation.
Directly addressing her by name—without title, without respect—was a declaration of hostility.
The meaning was clear:
This was no longer a mere dispute.
This was war.
The members of Eternal Night stiffened.
Shen Yanye, however, only tilted her head slightly, her lips curving just a bit more.
"What of it?"
There was no hesitation.
No fear.
Only pure, unwavering defiance.
The moment her words fell, her aura flared—
And space itself trembled.
The pressure was immense, distorting the very fabric of reality.
A fracture appeared in the sky above, a single, thin crack that ran across the heavens—as if the world itself was holding its breath.
The arena was deathly still.
The spectators dared not breathe.
The tension was palpable, suffocating.
A single wrong word, a single wrong move—
And the gates of war would burst open.
Even the other Divine Regents, beings who had stood at the pinnacle of power for countless millennia, could do nothing but watch—their auras restrained, knowing that a single wrong word could be the spark that ignites a war between two Divine Kingdoms. They want no part of that.
Not long ago, the confrontation between Dreamless Divine Regent and Dragon Lord had already disturb the peace of Pure Land.
Their clash of Divine might had shown the world a glimpse of absolute horror—
The true terror of those who stood at the peak of Abyss.
Had the other True Gods not intervened, countless lives would have been reduced to nothing more than scattered dust.
And now—
It was happening again.
A confrontation between Lightless Divine Regent and the Divine Regents of the Moon and Star Divine Kingdom.
The faintest shift in power would shatter the fragile balance holding everything together.
The fabric of space quivered, faint distortions rippling through the sky like the silent wails of an impending disaster.
And yet, Shen Yanye—
She remained calm.
Unyielding.
Her presence, dark and oppressive, was like a blade unsheathed, its edge gleaming with defiance.
It was clear to all—
She would not bend.
She would not bow.
Not to them.
The Divine Regents of Moon and Star felt their divine power stir, their expressions darkening.
Just as the tension reached its breaking point—
A voice rang out.
A voice so cold, so absolute, that it severed the very air between them—
Like a sword descending from the heavens.
"Yanye."
The instant the word fell—
The world froze.
A suffocating silence crashed over the Pure Land, as if all existence itself had bowed to the weight of that single utterance.
Every soul present—from the lowliest spectators to the exalted Divine Regents—
Felt an instinctive shudder deep within their very being.
Their hearts pounded in unison—
An involuntary reaction to a power that could not be defied.
Because this voice—
Belonged to the Monarch.
Unlike his usual gentle, enigmatic tone, his words now carried a glacial finality.
His decree was law.
Power flooded the world.
It pressed down like an unseen hand upon all things—
As though the heavens themselves had commanded silence.
And Shen Yanye—
Felt her entire body tremble under the weight of his might.
The strength in her legs threatened to give way.
Even her divine senses blurred for an instant—as if her very soul was being pulled into submission.
Then, the Monarch spoke again.
His voice, steady and unrelenting, echoed with a power that left no room for argument.
"Did you knowingly take in a descendant of the Moon and Star God Divine Kingdom?"
His words crashed like divine judgment, resonating through the Pure Land.
A decree.
A trial.
The power behind them was absolute—a force not even a True God could ignore.
At that moment, the entire world waited.
Waited for Shen Yanye's answer...
Her pupils shrank as cold sweat ran down her back.
This pressure—this absolute suppression—was unlike anything she had ever endured.
Even as a True God, she felt weak beneath his gaze.
"I did not, Your Majesty."
Her voice remained steady, but her hands trembled ever so slightly.
The Monarch said nothing, waiting.
Swallowing the tightness in her throat, Shen Yanye continued.
"I did not know she was of the Moon and Star God Divine Kingdom's bloodline."
She exhaled slowly before adding,
"I found her near death, twenty years ago, near the Fog Sea.
Because of her physique, I took her in."
Her words echoed through the hushed arena.
Those present exchanged glances—
Some stunned.
Some intrigued.
And some—skeptical.
The Monarch remained silent for a long moment, his gaze shifting ever so slightly, yet the weight of his presence alone was enough to suffocate the air itself.
Slowly, his abyssal eyes fell upon Shen Wuyi.
Though her wounds had been sealed, her robes were still drenched in crimson, the dried blood clinging to her like a lingering testament to the battle she had just endured.
And then—
A single drop of blood lifted into the air.
It broke free from the stains on her robes, drifting slowly… purposefully…
Toward the Moon Divine Regent.
A quiet murmur rippled through the arena.
Even before the Monarch spoke, everyone understood.
The Moon Divine Regent, his expression unreadable, bowed his head in silent acknowledgment before reaching within his robes.
A single object emerged.
It was a tablet, bathed in the soft glow of moonlight.
The moment it appeared—
Every member of the Moon and Star Divine Kingdom felt something stir deep within their blood.
A pull.
A resonance.
Their souls trembled, as if answering a long-lost call.
The Moon Divine Son, seated among his people, felt his breath catch in his throat.
His hands clenched tightly into fists.
"…Divine Moon's Authority Tablet…"
The words left his lips in a quiet murmur, but in the vast silence of the arena, everyone heard him.
A ripple of shock spread through the crowd.
For the first time, even the Lightless Divine Regent's expression shifted.
Because that tablet— is a sacred relic to test one of the Moon God's bloodline. A test that could reveal the strength of one's divine heritage.
Unlike the tablet used to test Divine Essence, which displayed ten stars, this one bore—
Ten phases of the Moon.
From the tiniest crescent to the full moon's brilliance.
Each phase represented the purity of the Moon God's divine blood.
The higher the stage—
The closer one was to the true descendants of the Moon God's lineage.
Everyone in the Abyss was a descendant of the fallen True Gods and True Devils from the ancient era, those who had perished and whose remnants were cast into this forsaken realm. But as the eons passed and their divine progenitors fell one by one, their once-pure bloodlines diluted.
That was where the Moon Authority Tablet came into play.
If Shen Wuyi's bloodline resonance only triggered the first or second phase, it would indicate she was nothing more than a distant descendant—perhaps one of the countless lesser nobles or warriors of the Moon and Star Divine Kingdom. A fortunate one, certainly, blessed by fate to awaken a Perfect Divine Essence and an extraordinary physique, but nothing beyond that.
A third or fourth phase resonance, however, would place her within the inner circle of the kingdom's bloodline—one of the more distinguished members, someone whose lineage bore purer traces of the Moon God's power.
But if she reached the fifth or sixth phase—
Then she would not merely be a noble.
She would be royalty.
A direct inheritor of the Moon God's divine bloodline, standing among the greatest figures in the kingdom.
The current Divine Sons of the Moon and Star Divine Kingdom were known to possess bloodline resonance at level six, a testament to their status as the strongest prodigies of their generation. Even the Divine Regents themselves—rulers of the kingdom and among the most powerful figures in the Abyss—had been recorded at this very same level.
And now, as the Moon Authority Tablet shone with its divine radiance, the world waited with bated breath.
Would Shen Wuyi prove herself a mere distant descendant?
Or would she reveal something far greater…?
The entire arena fell into an eerie silence.
All eyes—whether mortal or godly—were fixed upon the Divine Moon's Legacy Authority.
A single drop of Shen Wuyi's blood hovered in the air, glowing with a deep, otherworldly radiance as it slowly descended upon the ancient tablet.
The Moon and Star Divine Regents held their breath.
Even the Monarch, seated high above, leaned forward ever so slightly, his abyssal gaze locked onto the artifact with intrigue.
And then—
A light flickered.
A tiny crescent moon at the very base of the tablet lit up.
The first phase—the most common reaction, signifying a faint trace of the Moon God's bloodline.
No one reacted.
This much was expected.
But then—
Another moon ignited.
And another.
And another.
Each phase burned brighter than the last.
The soft glow intensified, filling the arena with a dazzling silver light that reflected in the widened eyes of every spectator.
"Three..." someone murmured, their voice barely above a whisper.
Then—
The fourth phase ignited.
A quiet gasp rippled through the crowd.
"This… this already means she isn't just a distant descendant—she's a direct member of our Moon and Star Divine Kingdom!"
More murmurs broke out. The Moon Divine Son clenched his fists, his breathing unsteady.
At level four, Shen Wuyi would already be acknowledged as someone of high status, a noble of their kingdom.
Yet—
It didn't stop.
The fifth phase glowed to life.
Shock swept across the Divine Kingdoms.
Even the Lightless Divine Regent, usually indifferent to all things, narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Level five..." The Star Divine Regent muttered under his breath, a rare flicker of disbelief crossing his face.
"That is the level of our Divine Elders..."
Still—
The radiance intensified.
The sixth phase ignited.
"WHAT?!"
Cries of astonishment erupted throughout the Pure Land.
Level Six.
The highest level ever recorded since the fall of the Ancient True Gods.
The Moon and Star Divine Regents—both possessing this exact level—rose from their seats.
"This… this means…"
Everyone was stunned.
The current generation of Divine Regents were the direct heirs of the royal bloodlines from the generation before them, chosen through the strength of their Divine Essence and they also posses the highest bloodline purity of their lineage.
And now—
With Shen Wuyi's bloodline purity reaching the sixth level—the same as the Divine Regents themselves—there was only one possible conclusion.
She was not just a distant descendant.
She was not some lucky prodigy who happened to inherit a Perfect Divine Essence.
She was a direct descendant of the royal line!
A true heir of the Moon and Star God's legacy.
For her bloodline to be this pure, it meant that she had to be the child of someone from their very generation or prior generation! A close family member of the Divine Regents themselves!
The realization sent shockwaves through the Moon and Star Divine Kingdom.
Who… was her parent?
The Divine Regents' expressions flickered, their thoughts racing, yet none of them could recall anyone bearing such a child. They were the rulers, the most powerful beings of their kingdom—if a child of their direct line had been born, how could they not have known?
Their glances turned sharply toward the gathered elders.
Yet, the elders—those who had served the kingdom for centuries—could only shake their heads, their expressions just as bewildered.
If none of them had knowledge of her—
Then the only other possibility was that another elder, someone of great stature within their kingdom, had once sired a child and kept it hidden from the world.
This… this was unprecedented!
If Shen Wuyi had stopped here, it would have already been the greatest revelation in the history of their Divine Kingdom.
But—
The tablet continued to shine.
The silver brilliance flared even brighter, its divine power surging beyond anything the arena had ever seen before.
And then—
The seventh phase ignited.
"IMPOSSIBLE!"
A collective roar of disbelief rang out.
Even the Monarch, who had remained still all this time, finally let out a quiet "Hoh?" of intrigue.
The High Priests turned to one another, their expressions solemn.
"This cannot be…"
Not even a Divine Regent.
Had ever reached the seventh phase.
"Seventh level...even purer....then our grandparents...."
The voices of the Moon and Star Divine Regents trembled, their normally composed expressions cracking in disbelief.
Throughout the entire history of their kingdom, such a level of bloodline purity was exceedingly rare—only appearing among the direct descendants of the first few generations of the Moon Gods!
The closer one's lineage was to the True Gods of the ancient era, the purer their bloodline—and at the seventh level, Shen Wuyi's lineage wasn't just noble...
She was of the highest divine ancestry!
A descendant of the earliest Moon Gods!
The weight of this revelation sent ripples of shock through the Moon and Star Divine Kingdom's members.
Not just a royal descendant, but a direct heiress to the ancient rulers of their lineage!
A terrifying thought dawned on them.
The Divine Regents' expressions darkened as their gazes flickered between one another.
And yet—
Before the world could fully comprehend what was happening—
The eighth phase ignited.
And at that moment—
The arena was drowned in silence.
The sky above twisted, the very heavens themselves trembling in resonance with the tablet's power.
The Monarch's eyes darkened.
The Moon and Star Divine Regents… were speechless.
The Eternal Night Divine Kingdom members… were frozen in utter disbelief.
Everyone... was frozen in shock.
