Nan Xingchen lowered his head and gently picked up a cherry blossom petal with his fingertips, as if he was looking at some old time.
"Thank you for saving me," he said, "and thank you for willingly giving up half of your divine blood to prolong my life."
"But I can't delay this favor any longer."
He raised his hand, and a soft golden light slowly emerged from his chest. That was the origin of the divine blood that Su Yao had given him before he passed the tribulation. At this moment, he lifted it up without any hindrance.
The golden light condensed into a ball of light and slowly floated in front of Su Yao.
"It's time to give it back to you."
Su Yao reached out to take it. The moment the divine blood entered his body, there seemed to be a moment of resonance between heaven and earth.
"I just hope..." Nan Xingchen looked at her and said softly, "In your heart, you can remember the me who was not covered in blood."
"The me who once brewed tea and chatted with you on the top of Lingshan Mountain, and bought your favorite cakes on Xingque Street."
The purple eyes looked at him, their gaze like water. She didn't say anything, but clenched the golden light in her hand.
"I know you can't kill me." Nan Xingchen smiled bitterly: "After all, I have half of your divine blood flowing in my body."
"It's like a curse."
He spoke lightly, yet it seemed as if he had experienced a lot.
Su Yao lowered his eyes and said nothing.
"So, I'm here to help you break this curse."
Nan Xingchen raised his head, looked at the cherry blossoms all over the mountains, and walked step by step towards the densest ancient cherry tree in the forest.
"I like it here, and you like it too." He turned around and smiled, his eyes gentle, as if he had returned to his youth.
“If only life could be as wonderful as when we first met.”
After he said this, he stood under the flower tree, put his hands behind his back and closed his eyes.
Su Yao still did not make a move, just looked at him quietly.
The next moment...
Brilliance exploded.
Silent waves shook the entire forest, and the rain of flowers in the sky was torn apart by the power of the soul, and then turned into endless light dust.
Nan Xingchen's figure gradually disappeared in the light and wind.
No screams, no pain.
He just quietly and silently blended into the world like a petal carried away by the wind.
Su Yao looked at the falling rain of flowers and whispered softly, "You are free."
The wind blows off the last petal of cherry blossom, quiet and beautiful like a painting.
From then on, no one in the forest knew whether the most beautiful ancient cherry blossoms remembered the man who transformed into spring.
In fact, I had a premonition before coming here.
Nan Xingchen, after all, is still the boy she knew back then.
…
Su Yao stood still for a long moment, finally looking up at the forest floor where the light from the sky was pouring in. She flipped her hand and formed a scarlet spell in the air, which landed in the air and imprinted itself into the soil.
With a loud bang, a faint golden spiritual light suddenly appeared between heaven and earth.
This is the ancient divine formation she set up [The Great Barrier of Sealing the Veins and Returning to the Origin], which originated from the lost secret technique of the Shenlong clan.
After the death of Lord Haoyue, the secret technique was automatically unsealed in the deepest part of her sea of consciousness.
She slowly closed her eyes. The power of the divine blood returned by Nan Xingchen was still flowing slowly in her body, but the power of the demon god that had not been completely eliminated was ready to move, which was extremely dangerous.
But Su Yao did not show any fear.
The Nine Lotus Jade Bone Ring on her finger flashed, and the twenty-six ghost gate needles flew out at the same time, with the golden needles arranged neatly, like a silent spearhead.
It was once only used as an extreme life-saving technique on the brink of life and death.
But today, she wants to use it to pierce her ten-fold golden body.
She sat cross-legged, divine light flowing around her body, and her ten-layer golden body slowly appeared. Her skin was as transparent as glass, and her bones were like crystal and sunken jade.
Her consciousness left her body and condensed into a second "virtual self", controlling the silver needles to penetrate into the eight extraordinary meridians in her body one by one.
Every time a needle was inserted, the divine meridian would tremble slightly, and the demonic energy would be attracted and moved, surging in the body as if wanting to destroy it.
But each time, she forced herself to hold on, relying on the strength of her ten-fold golden body to seal the demonic energy within the path guided by the needle tip, forcing the demonic energy to circulate along the new meridians she had refined.
She is doing something that has never been done before.
Transform your divine body into a demonic energy transformation body.
Let the power of the demon become your fuel.
This is the fundamental repulsion between gods and demons, and it is a forbidden path that even the ancient gods have never dared to try.
But Su Yao is not a pure god.
She is a combination of the dragon race and the human race.
She has both the tolerance for chaos that comes from the Dragon God's bloodline, and the transcendent will born from the human race's reincarnation.
Silver needles fell one after another, and with each piercing, her skin turned slightly black, and was then washed and purified by the golden light in her body.
She used her own spiritual consciousness as a furnace and demonic energy as fire to forcibly smelt her own meridians and construct the [Demon God Transformation Array], an internal array that could absorb, refine, and transform into divine power.
Finally, when the last stitch fell...
A circle of golden and black spiritual light burst out from the entire barrier.
"It's done."
She opened her eyes, and a deep golden pattern appeared in her purple pupils.
He exhaled slowly, condensed a wisp of demonic power in his palm, and tried to inject it into his body.
As soon as the evil energy entered the body, it was like fire melting ice, and was refined into a warm and surging divine power.
The meridians are unobstructed, the golden body is stable, and the divine power is steadily increasing.
She whispered softly, "Nan Xingchen...your remaining demonic energy will not be wasted."
The wind blew petals off a tree. Su Yao stood among them, her clothes fluttering, her eyes calm and composed.
At this moment, her aura was no longer that of a pure god, nor was it that of a mortal.
She has already stepped into the true threshold of transformation from god to demon.
And the path that was enough to fight against the devil was finally paved by her own hands.
"From now on, the evil spirits in the world will never be able to invade me again."
"My body is the furnace of heaven and earth."
