After he could no longer feel the violent pull on his soul, Xiao Yunzhao finally felt relaxed and appreciated the scene of life and death before him.
The elders quickly saw the man's plan.
The other party planned to throw Ye Lan into the magma.
"No! You lunatic, even your soul will dissipate under high temperatures, how can you withstand it? Stop right there!"
They shouted in fear, trying to wake the man up.
But the other party's eyes were already mad. He only looked up at Ye Lan who was getting closer and closer to the magma crystal column in mid-air. The arc of his mouth widened, "No, her soul is not that fragile. Although it is a little damaged now, she may suffer a little during the fusion, but I believe she can do it."
After muttering a long paragraph, he sent Ye Lan directly to the crystal column.
The moment his body pressed against the pillar, Ye Lan couldn't help but let out a low moan.
hot.
It was like he was walking into a fire. The pillars were made of a special material that looked crystal clear, but were actually several hundred degrees hot. Ye Lan was restricted by the demonic energy and could not use any of his internal energy. The mere contact of his skin caused him to be burned with unbearable pain.
It is hard to imagine how terrifying it would be to jump into the magma just across the wall. I think in less than half a second, even the bone fragments would disappear.
Under the high temperature, perhaps due to the protection of the crystal, Ye Lan's skin did not suffer any substantial damage except for the strong burning sensation.
"Don't be afraid." The man took the time to comfort her, "Before the fusion, I will let you meet first."
Meet?
While enduring the high temperature, Ye Lan tried to carefully decipher what the other party was saying. However, before he could figure out anything, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark shadow slowly moving towards him from the magma of the pillar.
The figure became clearer and clearer, and finally approached with the same height. The heat around her suddenly dissipated. She raised her eyes and saw a face, and her eyebrows suddenly jumped.
This was a face that was about 70% similar to his own, except that the eyebrows and eyes were more delicate and refined. He looked older, probably around 25 or 26 years old. His clothes were gorgeous and magnificent, and the pattern of the soul-locking talisman could be vaguely seen.
She closed her eyes gently, as if she was sleeping in the magma, unconscious.
The surrounding magma, which was thousands of degrees Celsius, was like a real hotbed for her, repeatedly dispelling the frost that climbed up her face and limbs.
"I used the power of the Heavenly Fragments to freeze her body, which will prevent it from rotting for a thousand years. But in order to prevent her body from freezing, I used the Earth Fire to protect her." A man's voice came from below, his tone full of nostalgia and admiration.
Ye Lan seemed to understand a little, "This is my previous life."
Hearing this, the man shook his head, then nodded, "Yes, and no. At that time, her soul had to enter the cycle of reincarnation to avoid the pursuit of Xuantian Lei. You were just a container for her to recuperate, and you can't be considered a past life or present life."
container.
This statement made Ye Lan narrow her eyes slightly, and she felt displeased with the man's arrogance, but the situation was stronger than the person, and she had to deal with the other party for now.
"Mysterious Heavenly Thunder? Isn't this the thunder tribulation one experiences during ascension?"
The woman was chased by thunder. Did she fail to pass the tribulation, or did she choose to escape because the process was too painful?
Ye Lan was also full of curiosity about the woman in the pillar. After all, even with the ice formation, if the body was not strong enough, it would not be able to withstand the test of ice and fire from the magma and heavenly fragments.
Now, after thousands of years, the other party's body is still intact, without even a trace of damage, which shows how powerful he was when he was alive.
Hearing this, the man sighed softly and reached out to touch the pillar. As if connecting with the woman, a hint of tenderness appeared on the corner of his lips as he whispered, "Thousands of years ago, the Heavenly Steps were shattered. She failed to ascend and was unable to dissolve the last of the Mysterious Heavenly Thunder. She nearly died under the thousand-foot waterfall of Feitian Ferry."
Even today, he still feels scared when he thinks of that scene.
At the same time, Ye Lan was also stunned. It took him a while to react. His pupils suddenly constricted. He stared at the woman in the pillar and suddenly felt his throat dry. "Are you saying that she is the last powerful being to ascend to heaven a thousand years ago?"
"Yes," the man answered affirmatively, his face filled with pride as he continued, "She cultivated to great power in just three hundred years, summoning the Mysterious Heavenly Thunder. Nine ordinary thunder tribulations are enough to annihilate a person's body and soul, completely destroying their cultivation, but that day's thunder tribulations were a full forty-nine. Even the Heavenly Dao, fearing her talent and luck, forcibly suppressed her, allowing her to ascend. So, is she very powerful?"
sharp.
Ye Lan nodded. She had already seen this experience once in the witch's notes. But what puzzled her was: "Why did you shatter the Heavenly Steps and nearly kill her?"
And then, with such a loving look on his face, he devoted all his resources to build this corpse-raising array. Isn't that contradictory?
"I didn't mean to harm her!" The man's expression ferocious for a moment, and he rudely interrupted her, his tone slightly hurried. "I just wanted her to wait for me. It's not necessary to use the thunder tribulation to ascend. We can find other ways to become gods. I have already collected the raw stones of heaven and earth, and with the fragments of the heavenly rank, everything is just around the corner. But I didn't mean to harm her. It's all that damn Kunpeng's fault. If it hadn't been so nosy and insisted on going forward, she wouldn't have had to sacrifice herself to save it."
Naturally, there would not be the incident in which the Xuantian Thunder fell and almost killed her soul.
The more he spoke, the more resentful he became, and the demonic energy from his body surged to the sky, almost covering his entire face.
Only then did Ye Lan see clearly that the other party's demonic energy was not acquired through cultivation, but was due to a demonic root in his body.
"You are originally a demon."
She narrowed her eyes slightly and pointed out the fact.
The man confessed to this, spreading his hands and saying generously, "Yes, that's why I couldn't ascend with her."
It's not that demons can't cultivate and become gods, it just requires more experience and more difficult tests to endure. It's rare to cultivate a demon god in thousands of years.
Therefore, the demons often go astray and use other methods to replace the joy of becoming immortals. Only a very few of them can keep their original intentions and practice.
The man in front of him was obviously the latter.
Because the demonic energy on him was very weak, basically the same as that of an ordinary person, it could be seen that the foundation he laid at the beginning was very solid, at least he had gone through a lot of hardships.
But now he has fallen into the evil path again.
Because he couldn't catch up with the other person.
"So, what is your relationship?"
Ye Lan continued to ask questions. When death is imminent, one must find out the whole story.
Relying on her face, the man was also very patient. He looked at the figure in the crystal column and said obsessedly: "We are lovers."
As soon as these words came out, Ye Lan frowned and said without thinking: "Impossible."
"Why not?" the man asked her.
Ye Lan said intuitively, "There's a difference between humans and demons. Unless you can become an immortal and shed your demonic status, she won't be with you. Furthermore, someone so powerful who can transcend the tribulation in just three hundred years must be completely devoted to the Dao and has long since given up on all emotions and love."
The man stood under the pillar, stunned by these words for a while, and finally threw his head back and burst into laughter.
