From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

Chapter 360: Chapter 352: The Emperor Beneath the Void - 1

Yangming City, Linglong Bay, in the broken Indra Sky research institute.

An elder slowly rose from the experimental bed, and by his side, several researchers in lab coats jubilantly reported various pieces of information to him.

"Patriarch! Your body has perfectly fused with the fragments from that dragon! This experiment is a grand success!"

"Hurry, announce this news to everyone! Perhaps Commander Bai's death penalty can be averted!"

"Yes! If we publish these results, I believe that even if we won't get much understanding from others, we won't be sentenced to death either! We've made significant contributions to humanity!"

...

In the shattered laboratory, a group of researchers was extremely excited.

Since the great war, the core members of Indra Sky had been fleeing everywhere.

Their leader, Bai Chaojin, would soon die as atonement, and if they appeared in the public eye, they would undoubtedly share the same fate as their leader.

Bai Chaojin ordered them to hide, wanting to take responsibility for the crimes committed by Indra Sky alone, but they couldn't bear to see Bai Chaojin die just like that.

Because in their eyes, the reason humanity could win the great war was all thanks to Commander Bai!

If Commander Bai hadn't experimented on Fang Ren and Princess Bai Xi, how could Fang Ren have suddenly become so strong?

So, they believed, from beginning to end, Bai Chaojin was right, Bai Chaojin should be a hero! Not someone who should die!

Although they thought so, they had no way to come forward to prove it, as Central Island had fragmented, and all the past evidence with it.

Even the submarine that carried Bai Xi and Fang Ren escaping from Central Island somehow met with disaster, and all the researchers inside perished.

Just when all these hiding individuals were in utter despair, an old man claiming to be the Patriarch of the Fang family appeared before them, demanding that they perform a Void Fusion on him.

The old man also told them that he was the original founder of Indra Sky, Fang Yun Zhong.

Initially, they didn't believe him, even thinking the old man was delusional.

But afterwards, the old man dispersed the Void aura from his body and demonstrated a terrifying power that surpassed the Xuanyang realm. Besides that, he even knew many past secrets of Indra Sky.

In the end, they believed the old man and agreed to help him with the Void Fusion.

Fang Yun Zhong led the group of researchers to Linglong Bay and brought them to this dilapidated laboratory.

Although the lab was badly damaged, many pieces of equipment were still functioning properly, and more importantly, the computers stored many critical pieces of information from past experiments.

During this period, Fang Yun Zhong also made a trip to the Central Area sea region and stole a Giant Dragon's arm.

It was the very arm that Fang Ren had chopped off with his Sickle during the war.

This Giant Dragon's arm was what they planned to fuse into Fang Yun Zhong.

Seventeen hours into the experiment, at this moment, they had successfully integrated all the power from the Giant Dragon's arm into Fang Yun Zhong's body, and the result was a great success.

Fang Yun Zhong sat by the experimental bed, looking at his hands, with frenzied light flickering in his eyes.

His originally gaunt body had become filled out in this moment, and the old wrinkles on his skin were also receding from view; he felt like his entire being had rejuvenated by at least fifty years.

"As expected, I was right from the beginning. The Void is a blessing bestowed upon the human race by the heavens."

Fang Yun Zhong revealed a slightly mad smile.

At this moment, he truly was too excited; after a century, his plan could finally proceed as he wished!

"Patriarch, how could the Void possibly be a blessing? You must be joking, right?"

A researcher looked at Fang Yun Zhong, finding his words incomprehensible.

Fang Yun Zhong looked at the researcher speaking to him, his smile intensifying: "Of course you can't understand, for you are destined to be a poor creature that gets eliminated by this era."

"What do you mean..."

This researcher hadn't even voiced his confusion when he felt a chill on his neck, and then saw his body still standing in place; somehow, he could only look at it from the ground.

Blood gushed out, splashing across the faces of the group of excited researchers nearby.

Their expressions froze, and their minds suddenly failed to comprehend.

Fang Yun Zhong got off the bed, took a step, and crushed the head that had fallen to the ground underfoot, his smile growing more sinister: "From now on, I shall be the Emperor under the Void!"

"What... are you saying? Shouldn't the Void be shattered…"

"Why did you kill Leader Ah Liu? Don't you know how much he cared for your experiment…"

The joy in everyone's hearts flipped in an instant.

They never imagined, after helping Fang Yun Zhong, that he would still casually kill their group leader.

"His mistake was failing to understand me," Fang Yun Zhong casually grabbed another researcher and asked, "Don't you think the Void has bestowed evolution upon humanity? Without the Void, how could humans ever practice cultivation?"

"..."

The man he was holding dared not speak, afraid that once he did, his head would fall to the ground like the group leader's.

Fang Yun Zhong threw the man aside and proceeded to walk out of the laboratory, still looking up and laughing wildly: "Once I have slain all who oppose me! I will surely save our people from this disaster!"

Cong——

His figure turned into a streak of light and vanished on the spot, leaving the laboratory researchers dumbfounded, their hearts fraught with complexity.

Originally, they had only wanted to prove that their organization, despite harming many of their own kind over the years, had ultimately devised a method to make humans stronger, hoping to use this to mitigate Bai Chaojin's guilt today.

But now, it seemed as if they had created a formidable demon...

They were well aware of Fang Yun Zhong's data following the completion of the fusion experiment. If the data was accurate, then Fang Yun Zhong could now be considered as powerful as the giant dragon on the battlefield.

After leaving Linglong Bay, Fang Yun Zhong headed straight for the seas of the Central Area.

He remembered a little girl from the Bai Family who had nearly killed him with one sword strike, and now, having grown many times more powerful, it was time to give that girl a taste of suffering!

...

By the sea, Bai Qi leaned against a branch of a huge tree, holding a cell phone and watching the live broadcast of today's Tianjiang funeral.

On the screen, Fang Ren was amidst the crowd, standing next to Mu Huanqing.

She was happy that Fang Ren had not died, and heartbroken that the person standing beside Fang Ren was not her.

Initially, she thought that Fang Ren's words were just jokes. Now, it became apparent that every word he had once said was determined with great resolve.

She was too naive, or perhaps, too arrogant.

From the time her mother first mentioned Fang Ren, she had never regarded Fang Ren as an equal.

Back then, she even objected to her mother, saying she didn't want to be a wife forever beneath Fang Ren.

But after she found Fang Ren, she didn't realize that she had, imperceptibly, started to look down on him.

In her subconscious, she treated him as a mere mortal, not from her world at all.

She even did something tremendously excessive to him later on: insisting that he cheat to take her to the final round of the Elixir Contest, to meet the Brother Song she adored.

Thinking back on this now, she felt utterly shameless.

The reason she was still alive was thanks to Fang Ren's Spiritual Root. She not only failed to fulfill the promise made by both families back then, to be a step beneath Fang Ren, but she also reduced Fang Ren to a mere tool far below her.

After Fang Ren agreed to that request, she still thought of him as a simple, naive good man.

But now, it turned out that Fang Ren had never cared about her at all. Everything he did was for Mu Huanqing, and agreeing to take her along was only a matter of convenience.

Yesterday should have been her wedding day with Fang Ren.

And a few nights before, she seriously contemplated whether she should marry him or not.

The more she thought about it, the more ridiculous she felt. He'd never even considered marrying her, yet she had contemplated being his bride.

She also pondered one thing: if that night she hadn't told Fang Ren about wanting to meet Song Mobei, and if she hadn't left him in the hotel the night before the Elixir Contest...

Would things have turned out differently?

The live broadcast on the cell phone shifted to Mu Huanqing's side. Bai Qi watched for a while before her eyes suddenly reddened, and she threw her cell phone furiously into the sea.

As an elder sister, she's been too incompetent!

"Really! How can I steal my sister's fiancé..."

Bai Qi rested her head on the branch, her heart filled with bitterness.

She should have been present at the funeral today, but she feared she wouldn't be able to control herself from causing a scene, so she decided against it.

In a few days, Fang Ren would probably seek her out again to annul the engagement that hadn't been called off.

Then, she would truly have no official ties with Fang Ren anymore.

Although she felt that she had indeed used Fang Ren as a tool previously, she had regarded him as her fiancé. At least before formally breaking the engagement, she never allowed herself any intimate relations with Song Mobei.

Even later, when she personally killed Song Mobei for Fang Ren, she realized she had fulfilled her duty as a fiancée.

"Qianye, oh Qianye, your father is about to divorce your mother..."

Bai Qi patted a tree branch, mumbling to herself with a vacant expression.

Boom—

Just as Bai Qi was lost in her memories, suddenly a purple beam of light from the horizon surged toward her.

She immediately circulated her Spiritual Energy to defend, but due to her previous distraction, one of her arms wasn't protected in time.

As the purple light passed, that arm instantaneously turned into a pool of blood.

Intense pain flooded her brain; this was the most severe injury she had suffered since birth!

Bai Qi quickly summoned her Cross Sword, warily watching the distant skyline.

Hovering there was a middle-aged man brimming with manic laughter, resembling the Family Head of the Fang family, Fang Yuanhao, yet not exactly him.

Moreover, one of the middle-aged man's arms was covered in glowing scales, emanating a strong aura of the Void.

"Girlie, you nearly got me killed yesterday," Fang Yun Zhong said, his smile deepening at the sight of Bai Qi's vanished arm.
