Chapter 4: The Knife

  A world of nothingness, without sunrise or sunset, everything seems to be in a state of chaos, cycling endlessly, as if all things do not exist, the world has been destroyed.

  The intense pain didn't know how long it lasted, Zhen Ye's consciousness had already become a blur, his body numb, as if because he had endured it for too long, this pain seemed to have distanced itself from him.

  The only thing that hasn't changed is his eyes, which still maintain their original state. However, the world presented in his eyes remains illusory and unreal.

  At a certain moment, perhaps after a lifetime of such length, in the void and vague world, a dazzling white light suddenly appeared.

  This white light, if Chen Ye hadn't seen it wrongly, was exactly what emerged from his own dantian.

  In the midst of the radiance, a purely destructive intent still permeated, and as the radiance extended outwards, before long, it would cover the entire world in Chen Ye's line of sight.

  At this moment, Chen Ye felt a shockwave suddenly appearing, and then he saw a huge white light beam that quickly condensed and finally turned into a small ray of light.

  As the light shrank into a beam, the entire world plunged back into darkness and nothingness, but there was one difference. The destructive aura that filled the world had all surged into this beam of light.

  Pong!

  A deafening sound, as if the world had collapsed, in Chen Ye's line of sight, not a single scene could be seen, as if his eyes had gone blind.

  But he could feel that his consciousness had returned, and at the same time, his body was finally under his control.

  He couldn't help but think about what had happened before, so he hurriedly closed his eyes again and entered a meditative state. What had just occurred must have been some kind of anomaly, so he needed to find out right away if his body had undergone any unknown changes due to this anomaly.

  When he became aware of his consciousness entering the body, and carefully sensed it with his heart, what was astonishing was that it was being 'seen' by him inside. The light beam that had previously merged into one was now rapidly running.

  Severe pain, start again!

  At the time of the shock, Chen Ye discovered that his consciousness was not lost due to pain, but remained clear and awake, allowing him not only to 'see' the white light beam running, but also to feel the torture of pain very clearly.

  The surging white light beam was like a massive speeding train, stubbornly running in the small body, that kind of pain made Chen Ye wish he were dead!

  However, the more intense the pain was, a strange feeling became clearer in his mind. With this feeling, Chen Ye could clearly see the trajectory of the white light beam at this moment.

  Zhenye was taken aback, the trajectory of the light beam's movement was exactly the same as the trajectory it followed when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth entered him during his cultivation.

  And in this operation, there is always a weak destructive aura in the beam, constantly emanating from it. It is the stimulation of these destructive auras that makes Chen Ye feel the pain of being better off dead.

  The beam of light surged again and again, as if it was tireless. In the end, even Chen Ye himself didn't know how many times he had run through it. Anyway, Chen Ye felt that if the white light beam had a spirit, his own body would not have any secrets in front of it at this moment.

  "Boom!"

  Finally, a white light beam, with unmatched momentum, crazily rushed into the dantian.

  At that moment, a sudden enlightenment seemed to appear, and then Chen Ye 'saw' that something had appeared in his dantian.

  In fact, it shouldn't be said that something extra has appeared, because this white light originally emerged from the dantian and now has simply returned to the inside of the dantian.

  To say, Chen Ye was very clear that in his own dantian, there existed such a thing!

  His consciousness, almost uncontrollable, followed the white light beam into the dantian, and immediately 'saw' the white light spinning, in the middle, there was another object, rotating together with it.

  "What is it?"

  At this moment, Chen Ye was shocked out of his wits!

  From the appearance of white light to its return to Dantian, everything happened too suddenly, accompanied by pain that made life worse than death. Therefore, Chen Ye was unclear how this white light appeared, because in his previous life, there was no such thing inside his Dantian.

  Now, the white light is rotating in his dantian, without bringing any pain to Chen Ye, and clearing his mind. As for the former, he thought of it all at once.

  In his previous life, while fleeing, at the waist of a mountain peak, a sudden burst of extreme white light enveloped him, and then his previous life ended, and his current life truly began!

  That is to say, it was that white light that brought back the dawn of a new day, and gave him another chance!

  But Tchen had never thought that the guy would actually enter his own body and live in his dantian.

  And the white light is not appearing out of nowhere, in the white light, there is another thing, that thing is real, in other words, that thing is the source of the white light!

  As if good fortune had arrived, Chen Ye suddenly opened his eyes in the middle of the night. With a thought, he spread open the palm of his right hand, and a brilliant white light burst forth. Through the white light, a small knife floated quietly inside.

  The small knife, including the handle, is only a few inches long, just the right size to fit in the palm of Chen Ye's hand, and it's quite compact!

  The surface of the blade is mottled and damaged, with iron marks all over it. It looks like it was dug out from a pile of garbage. If it weren't for the fact that it appeared in Chen Ye's body, this small knife wouldn't have any value at all. Throwing it outside, even beggars might not bother to pick it up.

  It was this very ordinary-looking dagger that emitted a dazzling white light, and also had an aura of destruction and sharpness that lingered around it.

  As soon as one senses this aura, it will make people realize that this small knife must have a great origin. As for why there are iron marks on it, that's not something that Chen Ye can know about now.

  Staring intently at the small knife, after a long while, Chen Ye spoke softly to it: "Little Knife, is it that you sensed my immense sorrow and anger, so you brought me back to my youth, to help me do what I wanted to do?"

  The sword, unexpectedly, seemed to have understood the words. Originally still, it suddenly moved, and that destructive, sharp aura burst forth in an instant, surging up with unparalleled ferocity.

  His breath spread throughout his body, and he didn't feel the slightest bit of discomfort. Instead, his whole body felt comfortable and relaxed, with an indescribable sense of ease. Even his soul seemed to be swimming freely in a warm spring.

  The small knife itself was extremely clever, and the light enveloped him, as if it wanted to use its own warmth to warm his somewhat lonely heart.

  "Haha, so from now on, we can fight side by side!"

  Chen Ye smiled, his right hand grasping the small knife, while his other hand gently stroked its body, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, firm and confident!
