Chapter 254 The Origin
Suddenly, the surrounding scenery vanished, and Ye Luo, already sobbing uncontrollably, was plunged into darkness.
Can your love encompass everything about Junyi?
The question came again from the void, but Ye Luo clenched his fists and did not answer. It was as if he could still feel the pain from his past life, and he could not recover for a long time.
Scenes from his past interactions with Jun Yi flashed through his mind.
His embrace, his kisses, his care, his pampering, his respect...
Those were things he could truly feel.
Junyi's love is intense and genuine.
It has absolutely nothing to do with any of that bullshit about past lives!
He was just his silver treasure.
Junyi, whom he deeply loved.
He kept convincing himself in his mind.
"I can do it!" Ye Luo roared with determination in her eyes, as if doing so would give her more courage.
Even knowing the truth, are you still committed to this love?
A cold glint appeared in Ye Luo's eyes as she said, "Since it's a past life and a present life, the past can only ever be the past. In this life, he can only be my man! Anyone who dares to take him from me, I'll kill him!"
After a long while, a low laugh came from the void, "Hehe, kid, you're quite domineering."
Upon hearing this, Ye Luo was stunned. She wiped away her tears and angrily said, "Bah! What kind of bullshit Heavenly Dao is this? Don't even think about ruining my Dao Heart!"
"..." This child, why is he swearing?
Ye Luo composed herself and said calmly, "If my soul were to be scattered by the Soul-Destroying Blade, how could I possibly reincarnate? Your words are only half true, aren't they?"
"It is, or it is not."
"..."
What an ambiguous answer! It's practically on par with saying "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed."
"So... my inexplicable journey to this world can't be a coincidence, right?"
"It is all predetermined by cause and effect."
Ye Luo angrily said, "Hey, what kind of riddle are you playing? You won't answer a single question. Even the quiz sprites in the game are more useful than you!"
"You child...how can you have such a sharp tongue?"
"As the saying goes, one should die knowing the truth. You only say half of what you mean; who would feel comfortable in that situation?"
"You keep talking about cause and effect and destiny, so my being here is the 'effect'? At least explain the 'cause' to me!"
"..."
In the dark void, there was no response for a long time. After a moment, a soft sigh came out, "Alright, then I will tell you the cause."
What do you think the Great Way is?
Upon hearing this, Ye Luo was speechless. "This question is a bit too advanced for me. I can't even understand the concept of Great Love right now, how could I possibly comprehend the Great Dao?"
A low laugh echoed from the depths of the void, "Then observe their choices before answering this question."
As soon as he heard those words, Ye Luo felt a blur before his eyes and found himself in a desolate battlefield, surrounded by piles of corpses.
A dark aura that blotted out the sun enveloped the entire sky. When Ye Luo looked up, he saw that the sky above was filled with cultivators who controlled magical artifacts.
"What's going on?" Ye Luo asked.
"This was an unprecedented war that took place in the lower realm ten thousand years ago."
"Ten thousand years ago? In the lower realm?"
Ye Luo suddenly remembered that they had said that the lower realm had once suffered a catastrophe. It was said that the great war destroyed the heavens and the earth, the spiritual veins collapsed and the spiritual energy was scattered. It seemed that even the spatial order was broken. She didn't expect it to be true!
Suddenly, a chilling and sharp crescent-shaped blade of light cleaved through the void, revealing a white-haired man in red robes who stepped through the air and roared, "The Demon Phoenix has fallen! You will all be buried with her!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying aura erupted from his body, and the long sword in his hand slashed out several wind blades, instantly killing thousands of black-robed cultivators.
Hearing the screams rising and falling in the air and seeing the corpses raining down, Ye Luo was dumbfounded.
Who are those men in black robes?
"Extraterritorial monk."
"Outer Realms?" Ye Luo suddenly remembered that Elder Feng Shen had mentioned that those high-level demonic cultivators and evil cultivators went to the outer realms to undergo tribulations before breaking through their cultivation levels. He never expected that the great war ten thousand years ago was actually related to that mysterious outer realm.
"So...they're invading the cultivation world?"
"Yes."
Just as Ye Luo was about to ask something, she suddenly felt a sense of oppression from above. A huge humanoid puppet suddenly descended from the sky, its giant arm sweeping across the ground. The black-robed men scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing into the distance.
"Qi Jun, I'm here to help you!"
A handsome, ethereal man was seen controlling tens of thousands of puppets of various sizes, charging towards the extraterrestrial cultivators.
"Who are you?" Qi Jun asked in confusion.
"Tsk, it seems the Demon Phoenix was right, you really have gone stupid from cultivating."
"The Demon Phoenix has fallen," Qi Jun said indifferently. "If you don't want to fall, you'd better hurry back to the Upper Realm."
"Hahaha, I do what I want, it's none of your business."
After he finished speaking, he shouted towards another part of the void, "Sword Master, since you've come, why don't you show yourself? Are you shy?"
"Puppet Master, you're still so talkative, disturbing my concentration on enlightenment." A man in flowing white robes appeared out of thin air, suddenly forming a hand seal and shattering the void with his sword, instantly killing all the extraterrestrial cultivators who came forward to attack.
"Hahahaha, just kill him and that's it."
Looking at the vast crowd opposite him, the Puppet Lord showed no fear and laughed, "Sword Lord, Lord Qi, shall we have another contest and see who kills more?"
"Alright." The Sword Master's handsome face lost its smile, and his figure shot forward like a streak of light, instantly causing screams of agony and blood to rain down.
The puppets that had been stationary suddenly moved at the command and charged towards the extraterrestrial cultivators ahead.
"To stand against tens of thousands of cultivators without showing any fear is truly the mark of a great man."
Ye Luo couldn't help but show admiration, and asked with some doubt, "With such a great calamity in the lower realm, why haven't I seen anyone else?"
"Alas, there are many conflicts between cultivators in the upper and lower realms, so there's no question of mutual support and assistance."
So those people in the upper realm were just watching from the sidelines?
Ye Luo sneered with disdain, "Tch, don't you know that if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold?"
"Everyone pursues a different path, so what path have you realized at this moment?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Luo was stunned and did not answer his question, but instead fell into deep thought.
"Puppet Master!!"
Suddenly, the Sword Master's roar came, and Ye Luo's heart tightened. Looking over, she saw that the humanoid giant puppet, the Puppet Master, had been pierced through the abdomen, and his whole body was instantly covered with frost.
Sword Master Angrily rushed forward and caught him, quickly beginning to heal him.
However, the arrow was imbued with a curse seal, which sealed his spiritual power, preventing the wound from healing. Crimson blood gushed out, staining the earth.
"Hahahaha!" Puppet Lord suddenly burst into unrestrained laughter, seemingly oblivious to the pain in his body. He shoved Sword Lord aside and said, "It seems my time is up. Let me pave the way for you one last time. You clear the way for me!"
Upon hearing this, the Sword Master paused for a moment, then smiled. "Alright!"
With a roar, a massive sword array materialized in the void, unleashing tens of thousands of sword beams that hurtled forward.
The Puppet Master's figure transformed into a streak of light, breaking through layers of obstacles under the cover of sword light, and charging towards the crowd behind him.
Ye Luo, watching this desperate battle, was momentarily stunned by a deafening roar before he could even process what Ye Luo was planning.
A massive energy surge blasted the surrounding extraterrestrial cultivators to smithereens, creating a huge crater within a radius of a hundred miles. The terrifying aftershocks took a long time to subside.
"He...he...self-destructed?"
At this moment, a woman in black robes carrying a bow and arrow flew out from behind the magic circle and sneered, "How laughable, did you think you could perish together with me?"
"Saintess Tianyu, why do you harass the lower realm?" the Sword Master roared.
She covered her mouth and let out a silvery laugh, "Naturally, I will unify the cultivation world and become the sole ruler."
"You?" Qi Jun said calmly.
"Hahaha, I can't do it alone, but I have many men under my command!"
"Ha, how naive."
Qi Jun sneered and flicked the blade with his fingertip. The array runes engraved on the hilt began to rotate, instantly forming thousands of arrays of varying sizes.
"What?!"
"Kill!" Qi Jun's voice, filled with killing intent, suddenly resounded through the sky. The thousand magic arrays he activated were unleashed simultaneously, instantly attacking the extraterrestrial cultivators opposite him.
That unstoppable and fierce offensive, like a devastating force, instantly engulfed the vast crowd.
"Qi Jun, you activate the magic array here, I'll go capture her first!"
Having said that, the Sword Master, wielding his precious sword, charged toward the fleeing Heavenly Feather Saintess.
