A flash of golden light once again streaked across the night sky, and after it passed, Chen Hao and King Mieji moved from the summit of Broken Soul Mountain to halfway up its flank. At this moment, Chen Hao's Nether King's World-Slaying Blade had pierced through the palm of King Mieji's right hand and thrust into the very source of the Sword of Dust's power within King Mieji's throat.

When Chen Hao had lifted the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade to strike King Mieji, the king had attempted to flee, turning into a lightning-like streak of golden light. However, as his left arm was tightly bound to Chen Hao by three strands of Nether King's Power, Chen Hao was also teleported along with him. Subsequently, seeing the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade approaching, King Mieji gathered all the Sword of Dust's power into his right palm, hoping to stop the blade. In the end, he was unable to resist the power of the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade, and the palm of his right hand was pierced through.

"Ah!" Chen Hao suddenly let out a roar, and the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade in his hand drove an inch deeper into the golden source of the Sword of Dust's power, puncturing it directly.

Immediately after, countless golden cracks spread from King Mieji's throat to his chest and across his face, while his eyes, almost bulging out of their sockets, were filled with pain and ferocity.

At this moment, the three strands of Nether King's Power entwined around the Sword of Dust and King Mieji's left arm began to tremble violently, and Chen Hao's body shook intensely along with them.

Despite this, he continued to inject Nether King's Power into his right hand.

"Err... Ah!" King Mieji let out an agonized scream, sounding as hoarse as if his voice had been smoked.

Then, specks of golden dust began to shake loose from the cracks on King Mieji's face and body, drifting slowly down the mountain.

Watching King Mieji's pained and fierce face, Chen Hao, whose Yin Soul had been impaled by the Sword of Dust, shouted and poured all his Spiritual Power into the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade, delivering the final blow to King Mieji.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle," the cracks on King Mieji's face and body rapidly expanded outward.

With a loud "boom," both King Mieji's body and soul split open, turning into specks of golden dust that drifted down the mountain.

Chen Hao had won! He had defeated King Mieji.

This time, it wasn't by luck, but through his true strength.

"Girlfriend," Chen Hao gasped for breath and sent a covert message to Ye Yuqiao, "Did you see that? I defeated King Mieji!"

"I saw it, amazing!" Ye Yuqiao immediately replied to Chen Hao.

Just then, the Sword of Dust, which had pierced through Chen Hao's body and was suspended between heaven and earth, suddenly emitted an even brighter glow. It then transformed into a golden dragon, leaving Chen Hao's body and darted towards the foot of Broken Soul Mountain, eventually crashing into the ground and disappearing.

Instantly, the glowing dust left by King Mieji's death in the air lost its luster, becoming dull and blending together with the dust floating in the air.

Meanwhile, Chen Hao's Yin Soul was shattered into dozens of pieces as the golden dragon violently departed, and the three strands of Nether King's Power within him returned to his physical body.

Before starting to fall, the fragments of Chen Hao's Yin Soul turned into millions of Primordial Spirit and Primordial Soul particles, each flickering with a faint yellow light and rising into the sky.

Seeing this, Tang Jing, gripping Ye Yuqiao's arm, asked anxiously, "Yuqiao, Chen Hao's soul has shattered, what should we do?"

"Don't panic!" Ye Yuqiao said, frowning, although she was feeling even more anxious than Tang Jing on the inside. Then, she pulled away from Tang Jing's hand and turned into a black shadow that instantly arrived at the summit of Broken Soul Mountain, beside Chen Hao's physical body.

Immediately following, she tore open a purple rift in the air and entered the realm of the Nether Acupoint, cradling Chen Hao's physical body through the crack.

As soon as the two entered the Nether Acupoint, a huge purple vortex appeared at the summit of Broken Soul Mountain. This vortex was summoned by Ye Yuqiao using the Spiritual Power of the Nether King Orchid Heart to absorb the particles of Chen Hao's Yin Soul, Primordial Spirit, and Primordial Soul.

A few minutes later, the massive purple vortex vanished into the night sky; it had absorbed all of Chen Hao's Yin Soul, Primordial Spirit, and Primordial Soul particles into the Nether Acupoint.

Once inside the Nether Acupoint, those Primordial Spirit and Primordial Soul particles, under Ye Yuqiao's control, flowed into the Nether King Orchid Heart.

"Boyfriend, you must not leave me behind, Yuqiao can't live without you!" Ye Yuqiao clung tightly to Chen Hao in her arms and cried, her face streaked with tears. She didn't know whether this would resurrect Chen Hao's Yin Soul, so all she could do was wait.

Minutes passed, and under Ye Yuqiao's upward gaze, the Nether King Orchid Heart above her finally returned the Primordial Spirit and Primordial Soul particles, which had been circulating within it, back to Chen Hao's body.

Whether Chen Hao would wake up, depended on the next few minutes.

At that moment, Ye Yuqiao's heart was in her throat, her breathing stifled as she waited for the miracle to happen.

"Whoosh!" Suddenly, the Nether King Orchid Heart above her head expelled a burst of black-purple Nether Fire, startling Ye Yuqiao, who was lost in watching Chen Hao.

After glancing at the Nether King Orchid Heart above, Ye Yuqiao lowered her head only to see two beams of light shoot from Chen Hao's suddenly opened eyes, straight into hers.

After a moment of shock, Ye Yuqiao excitedly threw herself into Chen Hao's embrace, sobbing, "Boyfriend, you've finally woken up, you scared me to death. I thought you didn't want me anymore and were going to leave me all alone."

"Silly girl!" Chen Hao patted Ye Yuqiao's back gently and said, "How could I bear to leave such a wonderful girl behind? I still want to be with you forever!"

Ye Yuqiao lifted her head out of Chen Hao's embrace to look at him, then stretched out her hands and tightly hugged his cheeks. Hesitating for a moment, she suddenly leaned in and kissed him.

After a moment, the two parted.

"Let's go out and see Xie Xiaofeng and Tang Jing; they must be worried to death."

Chen Hao smiled and nodded, pulling Ye Yuqiao tightly into his embrace and said, "Yuqiao, I've noticed that you've been caring more and more about Xie Xiaofeng and Tang Jing recently. That's good."

Ye Yuqiao raised her hand and playfully hit Chen Hao's chest, pretending to be annoyed as she said, "Do you see me as a cold-blooded creature? Hmph, such a cute girl like me would naturally care about friends! Oh, right."

Speaking, Ye Yuqiao's tone deepened, her face showing hesitation.

"What's up?" Chen Hao asked, toying with Ye Yuqiao's hair as he spoke.

"I've been thinking about something these past few days: Since Xie Xiaofeng and Tang Jing have been through life and death with us so many times, should I tell them about my true identity as the Nether King?"

"Do you want to tell them?"

"I don't know," Ye Yuqiao said somberly, "If I keep it from them, I always feel a bit guilty; but if I tell them, I worry. Oh, but I have a boyfriend, so boyfriend, you make the decision for me quickly."
