《Divine Empress of Chaos》Chapter 24
Advertisement
Black marks slithered across their skin before disappearing into their body. The two felt as if their internal organs were being chewed from the inside. Whatever the hell had entered was also greedily absorbing their lifelong cultivation and sucking away their spiritual essence from within.
They were once the distinguished nobles of the fox clan, now decayed to such a pitiful state; no more than a host for the sentient demonic entity! This affliction of torment, they would rather choose death!
But how could Huo Wei Hu let them off so easily? He was known for his ruthlessness, his brutality and his merciless conducts. Only one human woman was able to bring out a snippet of compassion within him and right now her cold body laid in his protective arms.
The mystical seals and ancient symbols etched on the brass bottle gourd provided specific purposes. They served various atrocious functions, such as maintaining the consciousness of the victims within, not allowing them a moment of reprieve. As long as they were trapped inside, no matter how many eons have passed, the victims would continue to be tortured. Even if their mind and body could no longer endured the hellish pain, the seals would make sure they preserved.
The one who suffered the worst fate out of the three was Guardian Yin Mei. As the offender responsible for Yu Liang’s comatose state, Huo Wei Hu naturally had other plans for her.
Unlike demons when they die whose very existence was simply wiped from the world, humans and deities have souls capable of reincarnations.
Thus, Guardian Yin Mei had long been killed brutally by Huo Wei Hu; her once voluptuous body twisted in half. The instant a glowing purple sphere emerged from her dead body, he imprisoned her divine soul inside the brass bottle gourd, preventing her soul from moving on to the next incarnation.

Within the brass bottle gourd, her soul was currently being boiled by hot, bubbling lava. The glowing purple sphere was now sizzling under the unforgiving heat as thick puffs of steam blazed out. The vicious lava gradually melted her soul and liquefied it into divine oil to feed the hungry flames.
Her tormented soul felt like it was being roasted from deep within a volcano. She felt every spike of pain down to the smallest sensation. From the scorching breath of hot mist, to the burning pool of bubbling lava, to every dreadful whip inflicted by the cyclone flame hurricane, down to the blistering fire chains enforced with dark diamond icicles tethered around her soul.
The pain was far worse than if she was still alive because her level of sensitivity was at the highest in her most vulnerable soul form — bared, without a layer of protection. She thought eventually she’d grow numb from the pain, but it only got worse. Her soul was on the brink of destruction every second, threatening to explode.
If only it did, that would have been merciful. Guardian Yin Mei didn’t care if she would no longer exist after being blown to smithereens; she only wanted the pain to stop. Like it was governed by a sinister entity, it would always magically reined back at the last moment and forced her to relive the torment again and again in repeated cycles.
Guardian Yin Mei cried and begged to be put out of her misery, but only the sounds of two other whimpers answered her. Just like the other two, the mysterious symbols embossed on the brass bottle gourd would prevent her soul from ever being fully melted, subjecting her to an eternity of aching misery.
He would never grant her soul salvation! Never!
Amidst the chaos, Huo Wei Hu finally realized there was no encounter with Ox-Head or Horse-Face, the two underworld guardians tasked with escorting dead souls to the underworld. A spark of hope ignited in his heart. Maybe, please maybe…

Leaning his head close to Yu Liang’s chest, he finally detected a faint inconsistent and disjointed breathing. As long as she still has a silver of breath left, there’s still hope!
“Yu Liang…” with a hoarse voice, he firmly held her hand tight. The suppressed sobs escaped as he gazed tenderly at Yu Liang in his arms, with a lost pair of shaken eyes. At this moment, his face was blanched, devoid of any color. His voice sounded bleak. There was no sign of the formidable, Immortal Emperor of Chaos presented.
He clutched the cold body tightly to chest, desperately trying to warm her up with his body heat. His heart wrenched in pain and his downcast expression was extremely heart-breaking. Without wasting any precious time, he supplied a steady stream of spiritual energy to her meridians and arteries, allowing them to circulate throughout her blood.
All the while, he prayed frantically; praying to whatever mysterious higher entity would answer his call. He didn’t care who or what, just that someone or something could save the woman he love and in return for the miracle, there was nothing he wouldn’t do.
The roof of the pagoda rattled and quaked before turning into dust. Bright, glaring sunlight immediately filled the place. A group of immortals descended from above, elegantly riding on cloud mounts. If Yu Liang was awake at this moment, she would have instantly recognized the old man within the group, the same old geezer who arbitrarily threw the two siblings into the pagoda trial.
The mysterious old man observed Huo Wei Hu, who narrowed his eyes in irritation.
“Nine-tailed fox, hand over Guardian Yin Mei! She is under our jurisdiction and will only be punished according to our heavenly laws!”
A nasty sneer graced Huo Wei Hu’s devilish face, “Hand her over? Over this king’s dead body!” He leisurely glanced at the group of immortals behind the old man, especially the man in the highest seat adorned in golden robe. “If the Jade Emperor have the ability, then come wage war with this king! Otherwise, this king have a rather peculiar preference of cooking deities’ souls to use as seasoning.”
The lack of respect in his tone as he taunted the Jade Emperor riled the other immortals and their faces blacken. Unruly brat!
A loud mellowed laughter boomed from above, dispersing the tense atmosphere. The voice was strong and powerful, befitting of the Jade Emperor who ruled the heavenly realm. “There is no need for unnecessary bloodshed; Yin Mei had committed a serious crime. I hereby decree her to be left in your care and no deity shall intervene! Do as you wish, Immortal Emperor of Chaos.”
Huo Wei Hu’s face remained expressionless, but a tinge of respect flickered across his dark eyes before it disappeared just as quickly, like it was never there in the first place. With a wave of his hand, he summoned a big fire-fox mount and disappeared in a blink of eye, only leaving behind a huge gust of wind and…Yu Tian!
From start to finish, his attention was only split between Yu Liang and his enemies, making sure he dealt with them quickly in order to minimize the harm that could befall on her. Yet, he forgot to account for Guardian Yin Mei and his negligence was his deepest regret. Where would he still have the time to pay attention to the anomaly surrounding Yu Tian?

Indomitable Marvel
-This is a wish-fulfillment story that is in the MCU universe and will follow the MCU in my own way. The goal is to blend my story in and around the MCU. -It will be a while, a very long while before I get to the actual MCU storyline. -The story may seem a bit slow depending on what you're after. -Updates will be slow. -He does not start op. -Be warned I'm a below-average writer, I need to work on my details and wording, and probably everything else. Expect quality fluctuations. -((( Useful feedback is much appreciated. ))) -This will have a harem since my last story didn't have one. --Expect badly written lemon scenes. They will be marked for an easy skip for those who don't want to read it. If you can handle all that, then welcome aboard. -The Asgardian Theoric is about to get a second chance. [[[ https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Theoric_(Earth-616) ]]] -The story starts before the MCU where he will grow his abilities on his way to becoming indomitable. -1st volume: Prologue -2nd volume: Troll War - (ch.12-59)-3rd volume: Hidden Forces - (ch. 60-???)-4th volume: Olympians-5th volume: Mutants-6th volume: MCU-7th volume: Darkness???-8th volume: ??? ___________________________________To help answer some questions people might have. - No beast companions and as of right now no plans for beast companions. (But then again Hela does have Fenris...)- No kingdom-building,- The beginning of the story puts a lot of people off because I didn't go the normal route people would like, and they don't tend to like the troll arc.- He also starts a little rash and seems a little weak because his powers easily drain him, some of this is explained later though and fixed by Gaea, but many miss this and only concentrate on the fact that he isn't being and doing what they think he should.- I should also explain that he has some memories that were locked away and then deleted because of his rashness. This was simply a way to end the whole locked memory thing, the Acanti soul was a plot point to give him future memories of the MCU, beyond that it served no more purpose so I got rid of all the other useless knowledge, He was in no way nerfed as some would like to believe.- I made him a little more emotional then I would like at the beginning, it was my attempt at trying to give him a personality after being criticized for the lack thereof in my last story. - Ruthless? I don't think so, I'm going more the route of a fair Mc. He'll do more of an eye for an eye type stuff, gender does not matter to him when it comes to this.- While the harem isn't the end all be all goal, it's true that he's going around getting women.- I do have a story beyond the harem though and will not focus too heavily on the harem beyond the obvious. Mostly he just goes around sleeping with them and beyond that is anyone's guess whether they stick around or not, I do try and make it feel a little more real, but it is a harem. ___________________________________ -I have also posted this story on Royal Road and Wattpad.

Legend of the Guild: Point Blank
Status: On hiatus indefinitely, because I'm going to be busy and the story is now at a place where it needs major reconstruction. Curt is a young gunslinger from a small town called Ore Town, situated in a barren wasteland known as the Dusts. While sabotaging the gang threatening his town, Curt is forced to take a leap of faith, literally. He plunges into the sea of clouds expecting death, only to arrive in an entirely new world beneath his own. Saved by a young girl using magic, Curt isn't too sure what to make of his second chance of life. When he meets a fellow Duster who had fallen years ago, he's roped into becoming second-in-command of a brand new guild. Guild duties aren't easy, especially as Curt is tasked to recruit fighters to take on the Grand Guild Tournament, where the winning guild takes home an enormous prize pool -- and most importantly, a mysterious ticket to the fabled "Star City" that exists above the clouds. Going with the flow only takes him so far, and Curt soon finds himself burdened with more responsibility than he bargained for, including the fate of the two worlds. ==============================Wordpress This webnovel is written for fun, and everything posted is essentially a first draft. Beware of typos and lack of creative descriptions — my main priority is to get the story out over writing quality. Still, I hope you enjoy the story. Updates are sporadic, but I aim to release a chapter (~2000-3000 words) at least once a week. Average release time is 1 chapter/3 days. I took inspiration from the lore of the MMO, Dungeon Fighter Online (Dungeon & Fighter), and there may be easter eggs or references to the game, but the story and characters have become wholly original and standalone. [Note: Profanity tag is up because profanity is present, but infrequent]
