The Adventures Of The Young Master

Chapter 283 - Punishment

"..." The ethereal didn't know what to say. Seeing Jin Rou, who was not even scratched a little bit, made his heart tremble.

For the first time in his life, he could feel a creeping fear deep inside his heart. As an apex existence that used to be basked with praises and reverence, he didn't expect that he would be in this kind of desperate situation.

However, did he have a choice from the start? None. As his enemy said, their fates were already sealed the moment they had a deal with the devil.

"Is that all?" Jin Rou asked with a mocking tone, "If you still have cards up your sleeves, I will still give you a chance to show it."

Jin Rou wanted them to feel so much despair that they would just choose to die. As devil pawns, his impression for this constellation hit rock bottom. He was really determined to annihilate everyone in this constellation who had practiced the devil way up to their roots.

"Grug!" The ethereal wanted to say something when he suddenly felt a blood rising up to his mouth. He vomited a mouthful of blood for a couple of times and knelt down.

"Mad Star!" Trueblack, who was in a daze a while ago, instantly snapped when he saw this and immediately came over to support Mad Star, "You've already used all your strength. And the dao lake was almost dried up. You can't continue further."

Trueblack paused for a moment and continued, "I'll buy you a second or two. So use it to escape. Everyone can just die including me but not you!"

This was Trueblack's honest thoughts. He was willing to lay his life in order to protect the ethereal. After all, Mad Star's life was truly more precious than his. Though the constellation would be amputated by a limb if Trueblack died, it wasn't as worse if their ethereal were to be killed here.

"No, everything starts with me. So I don't mind taking all the blame right now." Mad Star shook his head to refuse the idea, "Besides, do you think that you are capable of buying time even a second? Not to mention a second, even half will be pretty impossible. And I know you know it too."

"…" Trueblack was speechless. He was also aware of that fact. To be precised, this was his last ditch of effort of helping the ethereal before dying.

"You see, we will both die here now." Mad Star looked like he already accepted this fate and smiled wryly, "So let's just accept this. It's better this way."

For Mad Star, this outcome was already the best he could afford. After all, Jin Rou looked like he was just here to look for people with a pact with a devil. Thus, the other disciples of the constellation would be spared since it's just them, Mad Star and Trueblack, who had done it. As for their emperors and destinies? They were out of the question.

"It seems like you are now prepared to receive your death." Jin Rou coldly said.

"Yes, we are already ready to accept our fate. I just wish that our people won't be caught in this fire. We started this all, so we will take all the blame." Mad Star smiled. He still looked graceful even in front of death.

"Of course, I won't kill anyone unless they are like you two." Jin Rou assured.

"Very well." Mad Star nodded, "But before we die, can I know who are you?"

The ethereal was curious about this young man's identity. Right now, he just wanted to know this before he die.

In fact, Trueblack was also feeling the same thing.

"I am Jin Rou." Jin Rou answered simply and direct.

The ethereal's heart beat faster as he lost his grace and bearing, kowtowing with his forehead touching the ground.

He now realized that they didn't kick a gold plate made by a god, but god himself! It was truly foolish to fight against someone like him.

Trueblack also kowtowed hearing this.

As apex existences, they were very much aware of the universal happenings. They also knew what the name Jin Rou implied.

The current Celestial King! The strongest and youngest genius the Rou Celestial Family has ever had.

And who was the Rou Celestial Family? They are the ruling family of this entire universe. All beings need to bow before them and pay respect! They were also the guardians defending the universe from the unknowns.

"We're foolish... " Mad Star softly said while still in a kowtow position. No one knew who he was speaking to. Perhaps, it was for himself.

"Nothing is going to change even if you do that." Jin Rou shook his head and released a small ball of blue fire, "It's time for your punishment. As your sin is grave, you are banned from being reincarnated for a lifetime and will experience an unending torment in a place where you will be alone and the eerie silence and your scream will be your company."

"Whoosh!" The blue fire shot towards the two. Soon, it slowly ate the ethereal and the ancient before disappearing into the void. They didn't experience any pain here but once they reached the certain place, they would wish they could just die as soon as possible.

But in that place, death was impossible. Only endless torture and despair awaits the sinner.

Jin Rou looked at the gloomy sky and said, "Owner Bu, it's done. This constellation is done for now that their ethereal and ancient were gone. You don't have to worry now."

Indeed, with the ethereal and ancient being killed, the Black Star Constellation would surely fall from grace overnight. What's more, they would be the target of all the wolves waiting for a big pie to fall. With how rich this constellation was, it wouldn't be a surprise if tons of constellations bite them.

Not to mention, they also had made so many enemies out there.

Truly, it was over for this constellation and what awaits them was full of suffering, despair, and humiliation.
