Chapter 265: Chapter 167: The Reborn Xue Jing, Heavenly Blade Mystique: Cherry Full Moon, Slaying the True Dragon! (4K)_3
"It's over, all our efforts wasted..."
The Mirror Person within the bracelet despairingly covered their head.
Tears welled up in their eyes as they looked at the boy who was now nothing but a skeleton, sorrowfully saying:
"Xue Jing..."
This youth, who had been so confident that not even the news of facing a Pureblood Dragon Species could waver him but instead carefully arranged his plan for Slaying the Dragon, always seeming to have everything under his control, had met his end like this...
To fall against the powerful Pureblood Dragon Species seemed a natural and reasonable outcome, yet the Mirror Person found it hard to accept.
"Ao——!!"
The ecstatic dragon's cry echoed through heaven and earth, an unprecedented sense of exhilaration overwhelming the True Dragon.
It never imagined that merely crushing an insect would bring such immense joy and a sense of accomplishment.
Under the Full Moon, countless petals fluttered around it; even though it was at the end of its strength, given time and with its Life Force, it would certainly recover gradually.
When that time came, it would slaughter every 'little insect' in the whole world!
"Ao——!!"

What did death feel like? Xue Jing had always been curious about that.
He had the luxury of curiosity.
And now, he finally satisfied that curiosity.
It was like continuously plummeting into an endless, pitch-black abyss, unable to see an end or feel anything.
It wasn't such a big deal, he thought to himself.
So-called death was merely a somewhat special state of life.
At least for him, it definitely was so.
With merely a thought, he immediately stopped in the endless abyss.
Then, a mysterious and powerful force pulled him toward where the 'light' was.
"You——!!"
The Mirror Person, submerged in despair and sorrow, suddenly saw blood and flesh growing on Xue Jing's skeleton, and in the blink of an eye, he regained the appearance of a handsome young man.
"Ah? What's this?"
The unexpected situation left them dumbfounded, unable to think.
Xue Jing reopened his eyes, experiencing rebirth for the first time.
In the panel, the name 'Twin Lifes' turned from pale gold to a dull, lightless black and included an additional line of text.
[Cooldown Time: 59 days 23 hours 59 minutes 51 seconds]
His body was completely restored, the Life Fire within him burning more vigorously than during his prime.
The experience of death and rebirth formed an elusive insight that wafted around in his heart, almost imperceptible.
Under the night sky, with the Full Moon and cherry blossoms as witnesses, the sight was incomparably beautiful; Xue Jing's gaze became distant, his pupils slowly suffused with divine, silver-white color.
Shadow Flame burned upon him, turning into a cloak of Dark Flame, covering his naked body.
The Crouching Rabbit Sword in his hand trembled with excitement, as if it was incredibly agitated; the breath coming from it grew more and more urgent.
Xue Jing gently caressed the blade with his hand, and a hint of melancholy surfaced in his detached, silver-divine eyes.
"Goodbye, Crouching Rabbit, you will always be with me."
The Crouching Rabbit Sword answered with a faint buzzing sound, as if expressing joy or reluctance.
Xue Jing slowly lifted his head, looking at the True Dragon whose cry had abruptly stopped, locking eyes with it.
Those dark-golden vertical pupils revealed a trace of fear of the unknown.
Why——?
The True Dragon felt the urge to flee, facing an enemy it could not kill or understand, it was finally afraid.
But its body froze, unable to move.
An invisible yet palpable pressure enveloped it, keeping it completely still.
It was as if the God of the Azure Sky had casually glanced at it and whimsically decided it should die a beautiful death right here.
Heaven's will, like a sabre, cannot be defied.
If heaven wants you dead, you can only wait for death where you stand.
It was as if a scene had been cut from reality; Xue Jing suddenly vanished from the spot and reappeared behind the True Dragon. And along the path between his disappearance and reappearance, a flash of sabre light appeared, lingering for a long time.
With his back to the True Dragon and the Crouching Rabbit Sword turning into dust, carried away by the wind, Xue Jing softly said against the backdrop of floating cherry blossoms and the vast Full Moon:
"Heavenly Blade Mystique: Cherry Full Moon."
As soon as the words were spoken, the frozen True Dragon's body burst with innumerable tiny wounds, each one emitting bursts of Saber Qi that relentlessly harvested the little Life Force left inside it.
In the end, the True Dragon let out one final, mournful cry, and its thoroughly battered body fell into the embrace of the earth.
Even a favored child of the heavens, beloved by the sky, receives only the earth's maternal embrace in death.
