Chapter 370 I'll give you the demon core, I'll give you the fox tail, I only ask that you love me.
Lian Zhuo, Shen Yu, Yan Xi, and Wen Jin stared intently at Hua Li, their eyes filled with an overwhelming longing.
No one spoke for a moment.
After a few breaths—
"Amitabha." Lian Zhuo was the first to suppress her surging emotions, put her hands together, and as a vast Buddhist light emanated from her body, she gently nodded to Hua Li: "Let's begin."
"Wait for me." Wen Jin's Nine Spirits Netherfire surged into the sky as he uttered two words.
Yan Xi and Shen Yu's eyes reddened almost simultaneously.
The spiritual energy emanating from the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage and the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage spread directly around the two of them.
On the other side, Fu Yan, Mu Feng, Wen Tingyun, Zhan Li, and Li Yuan also composed themselves.
The light emanating from the ten guardian points, the spiritual power of the elders from various races, the natural forces drawn by the Astrological Platform Witch Clan, and the burning fighting spirit of countless cultivators...
Transformed into vast energies of various colors and attributes, like rivers flowing into the sea, following the guidance of Huali and the four divine artifacts in her hands, they surged mightily towards the five cards!
The card's light became incredibly dazzling, spinning wildly as it crushed, purified, and wove all the power.
Finally, it transformed into a purifying torrent containing countless colors, rushing towards the black mist!
As if sensing impending doom, the black energy suddenly let out a deafening roar!
It no longer resisted the bindings, but instead suddenly contracted inward, condensing into a jet-black, constantly beating heart shape.
Two forces clashed violently!
There was no loud bang, only a tooth-grinding sound of intensely extinguishing energy!
The purifying torrent, like a scorching hot iron, continuously washes away and wears down the core of the black energy.
Meanwhile, the black energy frantically released filth, attempting to pollute and assimilate this power.
For a moment, a stalemate ensued.
This dark energy is far more difficult to deal with than Huali had imagined.
She frowned, trying to suppress it again.
However, at the critical moment when Huali's body swayed slightly, Ao Bai's appearance changed! The roar of the Heavenly Beast suddenly exploded in the depths of every living being's mind!
In an instant, it stirred up ripples that covered the entire world.
Every corner of the world —
A deer grazing in the mountains raises its head, its clear eyes reflecting the distant sky.
The soldiers, who had fought valiantly on the battlefield, felt a pang of emotion, and their thoughts drifted to their loved ones waiting for them back home.
Inside Fufeng City, Xiao Bao, now in his eighties, revealed a relieved longing in his cloudy eyes.
In Baiwang Village, in front of two overgrown graves, the emaciated elderly Qi Chun put down the shovel he was digging and knelt down tremblingly.
All beings in this world who possess spirituality and depend on this land for survival, regardless of strength or weakness, good or evil, seem to sense something at this moment.
It was a shared, instinctive longing—
We long for the darkness to dissipate, for the sun to shine again, for the land beneath our feet to regain its vitality, and for life to return to peace.
This simplest, purest, yet most powerful collective will was forcibly gathered and amplified by the Heavenly Dao, which was Ao Bai incarnate, and transformed into invisible specks of light that surged into the purifying torrent in front of Hua Li.
"Waaah—"
Originating from the belief in all living beings, it infuses a torrent of energy into new souls. Its color becomes warmer, and as it flows, one can even hear the prayers of countless creatures.
Everyone felt its grandeur.
So everyone went all in!
Sensing a deadly threat, the ten sources of black energy immediately shifted their targets and frantically tried to hide.
They burst open, transforming into billions of fine black rays that scattered and fled.
As long as you can keep even a little bit, there's always a chance to make a comeback!
However, things could not ultimately go as it wished.
Faced with this unwavering belief in the "hope to survive" of all living things, these venomous black lines, like moths drawn into a raging fire, have nowhere to escape.
After traveling only a short distance, they were quickly dissolved and purified by the invisible "power of will"!
To Karin's surprise, the torrent no longer needed her guidance; it seemed to have its own life, gently and firmly pushing forward.
Wherever it passed, whether it was the bursting black gas or the remaining filth, it was all swept away.
In the end, the torrent completely submerged the ten sources of black gas, without even a loud noise or an explosion, only a complete "smoothing" and "purification".
The black aura that had plagued this world for thousands of years, originating from the extraction of fortune from the universe, finally dissipated quietly without a trace under the combined force of the strongest power in the world and the humblest wish.
here--
The world was completely silent.
Everyone stared blankly up at the finally clear sky, their faces a mixture of bewilderment and disbelief.
You...you won?
"He...he survived?!"
"We did it!! We did it!!!"
Before anyone could even speak first, a profound, belated elation began to wash over them, followed by a deep, almost overwhelming weariness.
Some of the younger disciples' legs gave way and they collapsed to the ground. They stared silently at the sky, hot tears streaming down their faces.
Some sect elders subconsciously touched the wounds on their bodies that had already healed, as if to confirm that this was not a hallucination before their death.
At the same time, a light drizzle began to fall.
The memories of everyone were drawn back to more than ninety years ago.
On a rainy day like that year, everyone said goodbye to each other, preparing to sacrifice themselves.
But now, it's still raining... but it's completely different.
The late spring rain, imbued with pure vitality, mixed with the power of the four divine artifacts, the feedback power of the five cards, and the power of Ao Bai's Heavenly Dao, gently fell upon the scorched and broken earth.
A miracle happened in the rain.
The plants, polluted by black smoke and long since withered, are now sprouting tender new shoots from their charred roots at a visible speed, swaying gently in the rain.
Those monstrous beasts, corrupted and left only with their killing instincts, lost the bloodlust in their eyes, shook their wet fur, and looked around blankly.
The scorched earth is coming back to life, and the monsters are returning to their true nature.
Even though the world before us is still riddled with holes, the new green shoots breaking through the soil beneath our feet and the renewed vitality all around us are telling everyone that the disaster is truly over.
Hope is to re-establish roots.
Lian Zhuo stared blankly at a raindrop caught between his fingertips, a rare moment of distraction. The next instant, he looked up sharply, his gaze piercing through the rain curtain.
Almost instinctively, the Buddhist disciple transformed into a golden streak of light and flew towards the rosewood tree.
At the same time, the chill around Wen Jin was suddenly disrupted by the rain. Looking at the tender sprouts breaking through the soil at his feet, he could no longer suppress his longing and tore through space with his bare hands to rush towards Hua Li.
Shen Yu wiped the blood and rain off his face. Before he could even say a word, the celestial horse had already plunged down from the clouds, carrying him away at breakneck speed.
"Great, great! It's my little sister back! Little bird, you..." Shrimp Bro turned around, but there was no sign of Yan Xi anywhere.
Shrimp Bro: "......"
He suddenly slapped his thigh: "Oh dear, I forgot, I forgot! Tripping me up, tripping me up!!!"
The rain nourished all things, and everyone was moved to tears.
Four figures, one after the other, burst through the rain with barely suppressed excitement and eagerness, all to be the first to see their beloved girl.
*
Meanwhile, on the other side, as Huali's heart fluttered with the spring rain and a smile unconsciously crept onto her lips—
Behind her, the enormous, mountain-like Nine-Tailed True Form quietly emitted several streams of soft light.
The light wasn't dazzling, but it could compress and absorb all the surrounding space, and the cultivation level, belonging to the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage, quickly attracted everyone's attention.
Amidst the shimmering light, the outline of the colossal beast rapidly shrank and was reshaped.
The next moment, a tall and slender figure replaced the giant beast, standing quietly behind Huali.
Luo Chuan's gilded mask was still on, but the dark patterns outlined on the edges had changed, making his straight nose appear even more mysterious.
Rain soaked the Demon King's long silver hair, with a few strands clinging to his sharply defined cheeks, and his fox ears trembled sensitively in the rain.
As he gently bent down, a sudden gust of fragrance, a blend of the rich, deep scent of ancient wood and the crisp aroma of rain filtering through the leaves, wafted over.
As if sensing something, Huali, whose eyes were still burning, turned around and found Luo Chuan slowly bending down under countless gazes that were either shocked, understanding, or complicated.
The true Nine-Tailed King of the Holy Capital Demon Realm extended his hand with distinct knuckles and naturally lifted the girl's skirt, brushing away the grass clippings on it, his movements as gentle as if he were handling a rare treasure.
Gossiping is human nature, especially after a major disaster.
"I'm not seeing things, am I? The Demon King and Huali...?"
"Really? Aren't Huali and Shen Yu a couple?"
"Huh? But I heard that Demon Lord Wen Jin likes rosewood? Didn't he plant a lot of flowers for her?"
"Huali and that Buddhist disciple of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect... those who know, know."
"No, no, do you remember that Transcending Tribulation expert, the one called Little Bird? He's actually Huali's... uh... eldest husband?"
"You illiterate scoundrel, that's called a legitimate husband."
"Why is he the legal husband? What about the rosewood and Shen Yu posters I bought before? Does that mean I support Shen Yu being the legal husband?"
"No, brothers, isn't this right?"
"Those guys are all powerful figures who have reached the Nascent Soul, Integration, and Tribulation stages. How dare you talk about them like that? What? You've just survived and you're already in a hurry to die again?"
*
Luo Chuan ignored the whispers around him and slowly stood up, only looking at the little girl's surprised and slightly wide-eyed eyes.
"Luo Chuan?" Hua Li looked at him with some confusion.
I always felt there was something strange about the vixen's eyes.
In 1992, the King of Pears was successfully brought back to square one.
Seeing this, Steward Ao raised an eyebrow and immediately pressed down Xiaota, who was trying to jump into Luo Chuan's arms, saying, "Don't interrupt at this crucial moment!"
Little Tower: "!!!"
"Ninety-two years and sixty-seven days." The Demon King spoke, his voice devoid of mockery, only hoarse from the long wait.
"Little Pear Blossom... I have kept my promise to you and have not left your side for a moment."
Huali felt a lump in her throat as she met Luochuan's gaze.
The Demon King reached out, his fingertips burning hot, and gently lifted her chin. "The task you said you had to complete... is now settled. Since that's the case..."
Chief Steward Ao gasped in shock!
Good heavens!!
It explained why this vixen remained calm and collected while everyone else was confessing their love! She was waiting for everything to end, until the host could no longer use the mission as an excuse, so she could seize the MVP title!
Wow!! The Demon Queen is just too well-rounded!
Luo Chuan turned his head, and his silver hair and fox ears, which were in his half-demon form, slid down with raindrops as he moved.
"So...can you keep your promise?"
A promise? What promise?
Huali looked up blankly, but before she could speak, everything went dark.
Amidst the gasps of the crowd, Luo Chuan's nose brushed against Hua Li's cheek, and his burning kiss, with undeniable force, brutally pressed against her lips.
Years of separation made Luo Chuan feel like a wild beast confirming the existence of a treasure. Their scents mingled, filled with his presence.
The weighty feel of the ancient wood materialized and enveloped the rosewood tightly, while the crisp pine scent of the fine rain stimulated the rosewood's dulled senses.
The hot, familiar touch on her lips sent her into a complete mental lapse.
Just as Karin was wondering how to respond, their lips touched briefly and then parted.
Luo Chuan stepped back slightly, his hot breath spraying onto her skin, his heterochromatic eyes revealing for the first time a thick desire that seemed to want to devour her.
"Heh..." The Demon King chuckled as he looked at Huali's bewildered expression. "It seems little Huali doesn't understand yet."
Luo Chuan's voice was dangerous yet solemn: "Then I have no choice but to be frank."
"My little girl, I'll give you my demon core, my fox tail, everything I have, just so you can love me."
Before he could finish speaking, giving Huali no chance to react, Luo Chuan kissed her heavily again.
This time, as the Nine-Tailed Fox blocked all view, it was no longer a tentative announcement, but a deep and intense entanglement.
The demon king's burning tongue forcefully pried open the pear blossom's slightly parted teeth in surprise, and plunged in, entangling the little girl's soft flesh that she tried to escape without retreating, greedily absorbing all her essence.
Each lick, each suck, carried a pent-up longing and anxiety, as if trying to make up for nearly a century of separation.
Huali was held captive in Luochuan's arms, with no way to escape.
After the initial shock, a strange, tingling sensation that made my legs weak exploded from between my tightly closed lips and teeth, quickly spreading to every part of my body.
She let out a weak groan, her fingers instinctively curling up to grasp the slightly cool fabric of the Demon King's chest.
Luo Chuan clearly sensed the girl's naivety and panic. A smile flashed in his eyes, but his actions did not stop for a moment, continuing to invade her more deeply.
The kisses grew deeper and wetter, spreading with heart-pounding swallowing sounds and rapid, intertwined breaths.
The Demon King's hand had somehow firmly gripped the back of Huali's neck, his calloused fingertips caressing the girl's delicate skin, forcing her to tilt her head back to endure the even longer, more suffocating kiss.
The air was filled with the fresh scent of rain, and the increasingly strong pine fragrance emanating from Luo Chuan surrounded Hua Li. Only when she was dizzy and almost collapsed did Luo Chuan slightly loosen his grip.
The Demon King's forehead pressed against Hua Li's, both breathing heavily. Luo Chuan smiled, gazing at the misty tears in Hua Li's eyes, his gaze both alluring and dangerous.
"Little Pear, do you understand now?"
