Chapter 1039 1039 The Ultimate Calamity
Shenyue is truly beautiful, with a face that could enchant nations and captivate all who behold her.
Her eyes are bright and lively, her lashes long, her nose delicate and upturned, her lips a vivid red.
Her skin is as warm and smooth as white jade, glowing with a soft luster.
Her figure is gracefully curved, slender and well-proportioned, her legs straight and long without a single flaw.
Especially the full, snow-white swell of her chest, marked with a black hexagram, made her look all the more alluring and enchanting.
Her looks and figure were in no way inferior to the Five Beauties of Tushan, and she carried a uniquely captivating air all her own.
Everyone watching from the crowd was green with envy.
But envy was envy — the moment they thought of Jun Xiaoyao's monstrous talent and peerless looks, they couldn't help but concede.
"Too many eyes here. Let's find another place." Jun Xiaoyao said.
"So it's a private rendezvous, is it? The First King really is quite the heartbreaker."
Shenyue blinked, her eyes shimmering with a hundred charms.
Jun Xiaoyao let out a soft laugh and said nothing.
In an instant, the two of them tore through the void and vanished from where they stood.
At the peak of a mist-shrouded mountain in the Demon Wilds.
The figures of Jun Xiaoyao and Shenyue appeared.
Jun Xiaoyao raised a hand and grabbed at the air — sand and stone rolled and gathered from the ground, instantly solidifying into an elegant stone pavilion.
Shenyue watched, mildly surprised.
It didn't look like much on the surface.
But it was enough to reveal, in the subtlest of ways, that Jun Xiaoyao's command of the laws had reached a state of absolute mastery.
To reshape the world with a single thought — that was a feat only the most supreme of beings could achieve.
Shenyue had no way of knowing that Jun Xiaoyao had long since forged his own inner universe.
A trick like this was nothing more than child's play to him.
"Sit."
Jun Xiaoyao's tone was composed and measured.
"You sit first, my lord, then I'll sit." Shenyue said sweetly.
Jun Xiaoyao didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly.
But in the very next moment, Shenyue gave a little twist of her waist and settled herself right onto Jun Xiaoyao's lap.
Her arms, smooth as jade, wrapped around his neck as she breathed softly against him and said, "First King, do you have anything left to give?"
"What?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
"What do you think?"
Shenyue's eyes were dewy, shimmering with an ambiguous light.
"What if I told you I never laid a hand on any of those five beauties — would you believe me?"
Jun Xiaoyao remained perfectly at ease.
Any other man teased and provoked by Shenyue like this would most likely have already lost control.
But for Jun Xiaoyao himself.
A person who couldn't even master their own desires would never amount to anything great.
Right now his goal was to uncover the secrets behind the Six Kings of Apocalypse — not to get distracted by anything else.
"Three whole months, and nothing happened at all?" Shenyue found it a little hard to believe.
She certainly didn't think it was a matter of ability.
If someone with a Chaos Constitution lacked ability, then no man in the world could claim to have any.
"It was simply a wonderful misunderstanding." Jun Xiaoyao said.
"I believe you, of course — after all, the First King is no ordinary man." Shenyue gave a slight nod.
For a true powerhouse, women were always just an ornament.
"I came to ask you about the Six Kings of Apocalypse." Jun Xiaoyao said.
"First King, your memories…" A faint look of puzzlement crossed Shenyue's eyes.
"Not many memories awakened when I came to." Jun Xiaoyao said casually.
"I see. Ask away, my lord — I'll tell you everything I know, holding nothing back." Shenyue smiled.
She could understand.
After all, when she first awakened, she too had many gaps in her memory.
It was the Yixie clan behind her that had revealed certain secrets to her.
"Are we Six Kings of Apocalypse truly chosen by Heaven to bring ruin to the world, or is there a deeper secret behind it all?"
Jun Xiaoyao had long harbored this doubt.
The Six Kings of Apocalypse — in the myth of the end times, they were the kings who brought endless calamity upon the Immortal Realm.
Was this truly a destiny ordained by Heaven?
Or was there some greater hidden hand, some schemer pulling the strings?
Shenyue's expression grew noticeably more serious upon hearing this.
"First King, while the world believes that we six kings are the ones chosen by Heaven in the end-times myth to destroy the Immortal Realm…"
"In truth, rather than saying we were chosen by Heaven, it would be more accurate to say we received the command of an ultimate existence."
"It was 'It' that chose the original six kings."
Shenyue's tone was grave, especially when she spoke of "It."
"It?" Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flickered.
"The Ultimate Calamity!"
The moment Shenyue spoke those four words, thunder rolled across the sky and a deafening roar erupted overhead.
As though even Heaven itself feared this existence.
Shenyue's face went slightly pale, her eyes filled with a reverence unlike anything before.
That reverence — it was as one feels before a god.
"The Ultimate Calamity?" Jun Xiaoyao's brow furrowed deeply.
Just from the name alone, it was clear this was nothing good.
"What is it — a person, or…" Jun Xiaoyao pressed further.
Shenyue shook her head gently and said, "I don't know what it is either. It is an existence beyond description, originating from a place that cannot be spoken of."
"Perhaps among the ancient ones of the ultimate imperial clans in the Unspeakable Land, some might know something."
Jun Xiaoyao turned Shenyue's words over carefully in his mind.
Indeed, the true mystery of the Other Realm lay in the Unspeakable Land.
It was the most enigmatic place beyond the ten great continents of the Other Realm.
And the most supremely powerful existences in the Other Realm — those ancient and mighty ultimate imperial clans — had their ancestral grounds in the Unspeakable Land.
This was precisely why Jun Xiaoyao was determined to go to the Unspeakable Land and investigate.
Just then, a mechanical voice rang out in Jun Xiaoyao's mind.
"Ding, congratulations host, a new check-in location has refreshed — please check in at the Unspeakable Land!"
Jun Xiaoyao wasn't surprised. The Unspeakable Land was of the utmost importance.
He was curious what treasure he would obtain by checking in there.
It surely wouldn't be anything simple.
"So what you're saying is, the one who truly chose us wasn't some so-called heavenly destiny, but the Ultimate Calamity itself?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
"Yes and no." Shenyue left him in suspense for a moment.
"Because to us, the Ultimate Calamity is already no different from the will of Heaven."
"And beyond that, rather than saying we were chosen, it would be more accurate to say that the original six kings were all followers of the Ultimate Calamity's will."
Shenyue's answer surprised Jun Xiaoyao once again.
In the legends of the Other Realm, the Six Kings of Apocalypse — powerful enough to destroy the Immortal Realm — were merely followers of the Ultimate Calamity's will?
Then what kind of existence was the Ultimate Calamity?
And what level of power had it reached?
The Six Kings of Apocalypse at full strength were already unimaginably powerful — practically boss-tier existences.
And the Ultimate Calamity that had given rise to the Six Kings of Apocalypse — what kind of heaven-defying, forbidden existence was it?
Could it be an ultimate boss even more terrifying than the greatest of bosses?
There was also the question of the Other Realm's origins, which Jun Xiaoyao had always been curious about.
After all, the Immortal Realm's resistance against the Other Realm was largely about holding back the encroachment of dark matter.
Was there a connection between that dark matter and the Ultimate Calamity?
And if so, what exactly was the relationship?
Jun Xiaoyao had come here to unravel mysteries.
Yet the doubts in his heart had only grown deeper.
