"Understood."
The white-robed woman waved her hand, and the phantom figure dissipated.
"The Asura Realm still isn't at peace, I see," remarked the woman of killing intent.
"Wherever there are living beings, there will never be true peace."
"But if someone relatively fair were to preside over affairs, there would at least be a measure of peace," said the white-robed woman.
"If Lord Xingjue were to unify the Asura Realm, then peace would surely come," the woman of killing intent said.
The white-robed woman did not reply to this. Instead, she said, "I need to return first. I'll leave things here to you."
"If not for your abilities, this Slaughter Sea would never have existed. These years have truly been hard on you."
"Once you return, make sure to rest well."
Hearing this, the woman of killing intent's expression shifted. She couldn't help but say, "Lord, when I agreed to come here back then, I told you I had one regret."
The white-robed woman immediately replied, "I remember. You said you had a regret, and I wondered whether I might help make up for it in some way. But you said you'd tell me what the regret was only after the matter of this Slaughter Sea was finished."
"So you're planning to tell me now?" the white-robed woman asked.
"My regret is that I met the two of you too late. I wasn't able to follow the two of you from that world onward, like the Blood Clan did, fighting alongside you ever since."
"The regrets of the past cannot be undone, but the future remains a choice."
"What I want in life is to follow you, my lord, for as long as I live — regardless of who rules the Asura Realm, regardless of whether it is at peace."
"My lord, my task here is now complete. From here on, I will return to the Asura Realm and continue following you. Please give me the most dangerous missions. I will not let you down," the woman of killing intent said.
Hearing this, the white-robed woman offered a faint smile. "Understood. The Asura Realm welcomes your return."
With that, the white-robed woman cast a meaningful glance toward Chu Feng and Eggy before stepping through the barrier gate.
Chu Feng and Eggy successfully completed their contract, then departed from that realm and returned to the surface of the Primordial Slaughter Sea.
Eggy did not enter the Spirit World. Instead, she flew shoulder to shoulder with Chu Feng across the ocean's surface, heading back the way they had come.
Having gained back what was nearly lost, both of them were in high spirits despite Chu Feng's diminished combat power.
Eggy especially.
She had certainly suffered, but the outcome left her thoroughly satisfied.
After all, compared to Chu Feng, she had pieced together some answers. She couldn't confirm them yet, but she felt her guesses were quite reliable.
"Eggy, are you really alright now? No issues with your body?"
Chu Feng looked at Eggy. He had heard from the Asura Sword that her condition had been dire.
But the Eggy before him now looked brimming with vitality, and he couldn't sense anything abnormal about her whatsoever.
More importantly, her cultivation had also advanced — no longer a first-rank True God, but a second-rank True God.
It seemed she had turned misfortune into blessing.
"This Queen is perfectly fine. Why don't you worry about yourself instead? Can that bloodline of yours truly heal?" Eggy asked.
"Don't worry about my bloodline. It'll recover sooner or later."
"Oh, Eggy, have you noticed that the Primordial Slaughter Sea seems to be connected to the Asura Spirit World somehow?"
"Take that fellow I encountered called Sha Hun Haotian, for instance. He was clearly a Spirit from the Asura Spirit World."
"Which means the master of this place is most likely a powerful Spirit World Master."
"But he never showed himself the entire time. I have no idea what his true goal was."
"Was it really just to benefit future generations?" Chu Feng asked.
"Who knows. Ask the Black Iron Piece — it should know," Eggy said.
"The Black Iron Piece?" Chu Feng was taken aback.
"You know, the Asura Sword."
"Hey, Black Iron Piece, come out and say something. You were so talkative before — why are you playing aloof now?" Eggy called out.
The reason she said this was that the Asura Sword had gone silent once again.
Even with Eggy calling out to it, the Asura Sword offered no response, as though it truly were nothing more than an ordinary sword.
And when it came to the Asura Sword, Chu Feng couldn't help but feel a quiet thrill.
This time, when facing the God Clan, had it not been for the Asura Sword, he never would have been able to rescue the Xianhai Fish Clan.
Of course, most importantly, this was the first time he had come into contact with the Asura Sword's power.
That was a power beyond comprehension.
Though the strike Chu Feng had unleashed was enough to slay the God Clan's formidable Divine Mother, he could sense that the full force of that single strike was nothing compared to the Asura Sword's true power.
It was like how a single colossal wave in the ocean could crush countless people, yet it represented only the tiniest fraction of the sea itself.
The Asura Sword truly deserved its title as the strongest blade of the Asura Spirit World.
With such a treasure in his possession, how could Chu Feng not be pleased?
"Regardless, this trip did yield some unexpected gains."
"But I have my Queen to thank for that."
As he spoke, Chu Feng produced the scroll radiating dark, black flames.
