Chapter 2125: The Return of the Heavenly Slaughter
Yun Che's body was at its limit.
His right arm trembled, scorched with the poison's backlash. His vision blurred. Every breath burned. Yet he kept his eyes locked on the creature before him.
The Silent One.
It no longer stood idle.
Its eye pulsed like a collapsing star, the ring of runes around it glowing brighter now—responding to the threat it had just sensed across the realms.
> Jasmine…
That single whisper in his mind cut through all pain. Not a memory. Not a hope.
She was coming.
Suddenly, the sky cracked—not metaphorically, but literally. A vertical fracture split the heavens open as if the fabric of reality had been cleaved by a blade that transcended divinity.
A light fell through it.
Not white. Not gold. Not darkness.
Red. Deep red. Blood-star red.
And from it descended a figure.
Small.
Barefoot.
A black and red robe flowing like night wind.
Scarlet eyes like twin suns burning in the dark.
Jasmine.
The Heavenly Slaughter Star God, returned not as myth, not as memory—but as judgment.
She landed beside Yun Che without a word. The world bowed around her.
The moment her feet touched ground, the earth stilled. The wind vanished. The stars flickered.
Even the Silent One… paused.
> "You look like hell," she said flatly.
Yun Che coughed blood—and laughed.
> "You're late."
She didn't smile. Didn't scold. Instead, she turned her gaze to the monster—and in that moment, her eyes changed.
Not just in color—but in depth. They reflected something older than time. Something ancient, hidden even from the Star Gods' chronicles.
> "I know you," she said softly. "I killed your brother."
The monster didn't speak.
But the golden eye flared with unmistakable recognition.
Yun Che's brows furrowed. "…Jasmine… what do you mean?"
She didn't answer. She raised her hand.
> "I'll explain after. For now—"
The sky turned black.
> "We finish this."
Without warning, she vanished. Not through speed, but erasure. One moment she stood there—the next, her palm was pressed against the creature's chest.
BOOM—!!
The heavens ruptured. The impact sent a shockwave across the realm, reversing gravity and tearing open dimensional seams. The monster reeled back—not absorbing her blow like before, but recoiling.
It bled again—that strange, colorless light spewing from the widening fracture across its torso.
Jasmine hovered midair, eyes glowing with divine wrath.
> "Your silence ends here."
