Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Chapter 844: Chapter 904 Soul Book Chapter 844: Chapter 904 Soul Book Tian Xun looked at the Nightmare Holy Carriage and said, “Life is filled with countless choices, I’ve chosen the path I wished to walk, why should there be any regret?”

“Some choices come at the cost of one’s life,” Tian Ruodu said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Shen knew that even if it were to happen ten thousand times over, Tian Xun would never choose Tian Ruodu.

He knew Tian Xun too well; it’s pointless to go head-to-head with her—she’ll stubbornly fight you to the death.

Sure enough, Tian Xun serenely responded, “I follow my own path, and even if it leads to death, I have no regrets.”

“That’s a fine sentiment,” remarked Tian Ruodu, who, unexpectedly, wasn’t angered but rather continued, “Before you die, could you tell me why you rejected me in the first place?

You should understand that with my talent and abilities, added to the support of your family, it was almost certain I could ascend to the imperial throne.

Over all these years, I still couldn’t fathom what reason you had to refuse me.”

“In terms of talent, you’re a natural Tenth Turn Ascender, the first from our Celestial Race to be born as such, with top-tier Base Mutation Talent and a Life Base as the Bright Seraph that’s rarely seen throughout history.

In terms of intelligence, you are naturally clever, ten times more so than me, capable of understanding the essence of all magic upon mere exposure, and the laws of the world are at your fingertips.

In terms of knowledge, you never forget anything you see, able to perceive the most intricate subtleties, not even a Smart Brain could match that.”

“Given all this, in what way am I unable to meet your expectations?”

“You’re perfect in all respects, it’s just unfortunate that you were born too early,” Tian Xun stated.

“Born too early, are you saying I’m too old?” Tian Ruodu asked.

“Age doesn’t hinder you,” Tian Xun stated indifferently.

“With your status and power, although born a few centuries earlier, it’s not a difficult task for you to live a few hundred more.”

“So you’re saying I am too old, no longer in the prime of youth, and unworthy of Tian Xun’s notice?” Tian Ruodu asked.

“I indeed have a preference for appearances, but in your time you were known as the Bright Prince of the Celestial Race, with a visage so handsome that even the sun in the sky couldn’t overshadow your brilliance,” Tian Xun once again shook her head.

“Then what is it?” Tian Ruodu asked with interest.

“You were born too early; the reigning emperor has lived for far too long.

Even if my family had chosen you, you would have had no chance at all, only dragging my family down into the abyss with you, to be exiled to the Demon Abyss.

If you were me, how would you have chosen?” Tian Xun spoke calmly.

“In the end, you still underestimated me,” said Tian Ruodu with a light laugh.

“Back then, I was evenly matched with that old thief, only a tiny bit short of victory.

Had your family been willing to support me, I would have surely won and would already be the new emperor of the Celestial Race.”

“A miss is as good as a mile.

What you consider a tiny bit will forever remain unachievable,” Tian Xun said.

“Very well, just for that statement of yours, I will not kill you today.

I want you to watch with your own eyes how I take back the throne that should have been mine from the Old Thief Tianshu,” Tian Ruodu said, then the door of the Nightmare Holy Carriage automatically opened, revealing a handsome and cold visage inside, “Do you prompt me to act, or will you get in the carriage yourself?”

Seeing this, Lin Shen, unable to restrain himself any further, walked to Tian Xun’s side, stretched out his hand to take Tian Xun’s arm, and pulled her behind him.

Tian Xun was slightly startled, but did not insist and allowed Lin Shen to pull her behind him.

“Sorry, but you’re too late; this flower already has an owner,” Lin Shen said to Tian Ruodu sitting inside the vehicle.

Tian Ruodu looked at Lin Shen with a hint of scorn and said, “Is this the person you’ve carefully chosen?

How can he possibly compare to even a fraction of me?”

His words were clearly not meant for Lin Shen, or it might be said that Lin Shen didn’t exist at all to him.

“You excel in every aspect, but still, you don’t come close to even a fraction of him,” Tian Xun said calmly.

Tian Ruodu’s gaze sharpened, and he stared coldly at Lin Shen, “Very well.

Originally, such a lowly person was not even worthy of my attention, let alone my personal intervention.

However, since you put it that way, I will personally send him on his way and see if he’s as you say, that he surpasses me by tens of thousands of times in every aspect.”

Saying this, Tian Ruodu stepped out of the Nightmare Holy Carriage.

There was a charismatic and unrivaled grace to Tian Ruodu, not at all inferior to Ouyang Yudou, and he emanated a bewitching charm as if a single glance would involuntarily draw one to him.

It was as if he was the born protagonist; just by standing there, all gazes would uncontrollably focus on him.

However, his eyes were not on Lin Shen but instead turned toward the people behind Lin Shen, “Tian Jingyun, Tian Shangqing, do you really intend to betray?”

Tian Jingyun and Tian Shangqing exchanged a glance.

Tian Jingyun, looking at the vast Immortal Creatures Corps in the sky, said, “What betrayal?

We’re neither subordinate to you nor are we from the God-making Race; where does the question of betrayal come into play?”

Lin Shen was slightly surprised; he didn’t expect Tian Jingyun and Tian Shangqing to say such things at a time like this.

“All for the sake of Tian Jiuyou’s face, I wanted to give you a way out.

ƝοѵǤο.сο

Since you are insisting on seeking death, then so be it,” Tian Ruodu finished speaking and didn’t look at them any further.

With a casual wave of his hand, a black leather book appeared out of nowhere in his hand.

The crowd didn’t know what he intended to do, but then they saw Tian Ruodu open the book and write something on its pages.

Thump!

Thump!

Without warning, Tian Jingyun and Tian Shangqing suddenly fell to the ground, lifeless, as if they had died.

Lin Shen and the others were all shocked.

Although Tian Jingyun and Tian Shangqing may not be top-tier immortals, they were immortals nonetheless.

Yet they died so unpredictably.

“The Soul Book…

isn’t your Life Base that of the Bright Seraph?

How can you…?” Tian Xun’s pupils contracted, looking incredulously at Tian Ruodu.

A slight curve formed at the corner of Tian Ruodu’s mouth as he said indifferently, “I told you before, you underestimate me.

I do not only possess the Life Base of the Bright Seraph but also a Double Life Base.

The Soul Book is my second Life Base.”

“The Soul Book can snatch one’s soul.

If he calls your names, do not respond at all costs, and it’s best not to speak with him,” Tian Xun said as the Law of Words activated, her body merging with the devout Seraph, her lips outlined with Light Patterns, “Where I stand, no spirit shall transgress.”

A sacred halo radiated from Tian Xun, enveloping the entire island within it.

Tian Ruodu quietly watched Tian Xun’s actions until she stopped.

Then, he stretched out his finger and wrote a few characters on the Soul Book.

Beyond the halo emitted by Tian Xun, as if an invisible demon swooped down, wherever the demon passed, the halo instantly vanished.

That unseen demon was too fast; it descended upon Tian Xin in an instant.

Tian Xun wanted to stop it but was too late.

Thump!

The demon passed through Tian Xin, who then immediately lost consciousness and breath, falling to the ground.

“Be careful!” A trickle of blood spilled from the corner of Tian Xun’s mouth; clearly, her word spirit law had also suffered a heavy blow.

Suppressing the grief in her heart, Tian Xun reached out to pull Lin Shen, “You all go first, I’ll handle things here.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t use the Soul Book to kill him.

I have yet to see how outstanding he is, how he surpasses me by tens of thousands of times,” Tian Ruodu closed the Soul Book, smiling as he spoke.
