When the sky fell and tall people were crushed to death.
When crisis strikes and resistance is impossible.
When the strong man you look up to has no place to die.
When the sky collapses and the earth breaks apart, there is no way to retreat.
…
Where is our road?
…
When you step on it, there is no road left.
There is no other way but to move forward bravely, fight, become strong, and make yourself the backbone that supports the world.
When the eaves collapse and there is nowhere to hide from the rain, we can only stand up, take steps, and face the cold wind and rain. Because if you hold your head in your hands and curl up on the ground, the wind and rain will still hit you.
Chi Yao said: "Ten Yuanhui ago, the great king Fudo Ming was tracking down the immortals and disappeared from the world."
"Three hundred thousand years ago, three people returned from the war in the heavens. Their bones were buried in a foreign land, and their bodies were returned without leather."
"One hundred thousand years ago, there was a great catastrophe between heaven and earth. All realms burned and the holy realm was destroyed."
"And now, the war between the hell world and the heaven world has broken out again!"
"Zhang Ruochen, in fact, your fate was already determined when you were chosen by the Holy Monk Xumi. If you want to live and get rid of the misfortune of fate, you can only become stronger, stronger than the great Lord Fudo Mingwang.
This is what the holy monk Xumi expected."
Zhang Ruochen had recovered from his suppressed emotions and said, "Aren't you the one chosen by Saint Monk Xumi?"
Chi Yao stared at him coldly, feeling that Zhang Ruochen was pretending to be stupid.
Zhang Ruochen said again: "This is what you just said! Moreover, what you practice is the perfected technique, but what I practice is the incomplete technique. Obviously, the holy monk places all his hopes on
He has passed on to you, and he has handed over this era to you."
Chi Yao didn't want to hide it anymore, and there was no need to do so. She said: "You don't understand "The Thirty-Three Heavens" at all. This kind of technique can only be practiced by someone with such an amazing talent as Fudo Mingwang."
To the twenty-seventh level of heaven."
"What does this mean?"
"It shows that with the strength of one person, even with your current foundation, it is still far from possible to reach the thirty-third level of heaven."
"Two people must practice together, one cultivating reality and the other cultivating emptiness. Reality and emptiness are like the human body and soul. Only when the two are integrated can true perfection be achieved."
"Moreover, the two people who practice the "Thirty-Three Heavens" real and virtual scrolls must be one yang and one yin, one male and one female, and one of them must make sacrifices to fulfill the other."
"That's it." Zhang Ruochen muttered to himself.
Chi Yao finally revealed the secret of the technique, which was the doubt that Zhang Ruochen had always wanted to figure out.
However, if she is not provoked, if she is not forced, if she is not discouraged, she will never be able to tell this even if she dies. Because once she is told, this nearly two thousand years of concealment will be lost.
significance.
This is for her!
For Zhang Ruochen, after understanding this, all the doubts in his mind were solved.
Everything actually stems from the practice and the oppression of that unknown and powerful force. If you want to survive, a strong man must stand up and hold up this world.
If you want to cultivate such a strong person, you must practice the "Thirty-Three Heavens" and reach a level stronger than that of Fudo Mingwang.
This may be the only way to save the world that Saint Monk Xumi can think of!
At least he wanted such a method, while other gods, after the catastrophe a hundred thousand years ago, were frightened into panic and fear.
Whether it is turning on the sundial or selecting Zhang Ruochen and Chi Yao in the future, it at least shows that Saint Monk Xumi is not afraid of dangers and actively faces the collapse of the sky. Even if he sacrifices himself!
That's right.
Saint Monk Xumi chose not only Zhang Ruochen, but also Chi Yao.
If he had chosen another woman, how could he be willing to sacrifice himself to fulfill Zhang Ruochen?
How could it be possible to tell Zhang Ruochen so many things?
I'm afraid that when Zhang Ruochen reached the peak of the divine realm, she had already used a sneak attack to kill Zhang Ruochen, take away everything from him, and then fulfill herself.
From the age of fourteen to now, Chi Yao's heart has not changed, which is very rare.
Zhang Ruochen sighed: "If you want to sacrifice yourself to fulfill another person, who can do it?"
Chi Yao stood up, with a surge of divine light all over his body. The blood of the blood-dropping sword reflected the darkness into red, and said: "Yes, no one can resist the temptation to become the strongest in the world, so I will give you a fair
Opportunity. Use the outcome of the battle to decide who lives and who dies."
"Wait a minute."
Zhang Ruochen said: "I'm very confused, why do you have to go to the thirty-third heaven to practice?"
"Didn't I make it clear enough just now?" Chi Yao said.
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said: "It's very clear! It was you who saw me die under an infinitely huge palm in the fate pool. Therefore, there is no need to fight this battle, I will definitely win! Then,
I absorbed your cultivation, developed the complete "Thirty-Third Heaven", and was beaten to death after an unknown number of years. Is that so?"
Chi Yao heard the sarcasm in Zhang Ruochen's tone and said: "When your cultivation is strong enough, you can change the future. What you see in the fate pool may not be destined, it is just the greatest possibility. If you are not strong enough, the future
Those are the ones who are truly doomed, and it is impossible to escape the arrangement of fate."
Zhang Ruochen stepped forward step by step, summoning Shen Yuan's ancient sword, and murderous intent gradually emerged in his eyes, saying: "You are right, but I don't think this battle is necessary."
"Because once the divine war breaks out, it will definitely spread far away and attract countless strange beasts. By then, we will all be buried in the abyss of darkness. So, why not... you help me?"
The two stood in the void, no more than ten steps apart, and the energy escaping from their bodies was already colliding with each other.
Seeing Zhang Ruochen's appearance at this moment, Chi Yao really couldn't believe that these words came out of "Brother Chen"'s mouth. She felt extremely painful in her heart, more painful than all the pain she had suffered in these years combined.
The image of Zhang Ruochen, Bai Qing'er, and Ji Fan heart-to-heart appeared in his mind, and his heart became even more painful.
Suddenly, for a moment, she wanted to swing her sword and strike at Zhang Ruochen.
But, at this moment, she thought of a lot more. She thought of the scene when she and Zhang Ruochen stood in front of the holy monk Xumi, of Chi Kunlun and Chi Kongle, and of the beautiful years she once had.
"You have changed!" Tears fell from Chi Yao's eyes again.
She found that every time she cried, it was because of Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen said: "People are subject to change. If you expect me to be as innocent as I was when I was sixteen, you are making things difficult for me. However, I can assure you that if I achieve great success in the future, I will definitely not
If you live up to the expectations of Monk Xumi, you will definitely do your part for this era, and I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life. You can rest assured that I will take good care of Kunlun and Kong Le, and I will not kill you.
Tell them your secret to save them from grief and pain.”
Slowly, Zhang Ruochen raised Shen Yuan's ancient sword.
The sword energy soared to the sky.
Chi Yao's tears were flowing like a fountain. She wanted to lift the sword in her hand and fight Zhang Ruochen. However, at this moment, she didn't even have the strength to lift the sword.
When a person's heart is dead, no matter how powerful his power is, he can no longer use it!
Chi Yao closed her eyes, and the last scene she saw was Zhang Ruochen's cold face, slashing down with a sword.
"Forget it! I can finally be freed. At least I didn't let you down when I was sixteen."
"Bang!"
A harsh explosion sounded!
Chi Yao felt severe pain in her arm, and the bloody sword she was holding in her hand flew out.
She opened her eyes and found that the blood-dropping sword was hacked away by Shen Yuan's sword.
The next moment, Zhang Ruochen's long and warm arms hugged her tightly.
Chi Yao felt as if she had been electrocuted, her whole body was numb, and she was dazed for a moment. Then the little strength left in her body disappeared, and her body seemed to be so soft that she was about to melt in Zhang Ruochen's arms.
In the distance, the red Blood-Drip Sword and the black Shen Yuan Sword were entwined with each other, like two sword dragons flying around them, emitting a series of sweet sword sounds, which was extremely joyful.
Zhang Ruochen sniffed the fragrance of her hair beside her ears and felt her soft and hot body. He had never been able to sense her presence so clearly as now.
"You should understand that no matter how much I change, my love for you has never changed, even when I hate you the most." Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes and whispered in her ear.
Chi Yao knew that she had been teased like a fool by Zhang Ruochen before. For some reason, she was so angry that she felt as sweet as honey.
She said: "Didn't you say that there is no more hate and no more love?"
"Who said there must be hatred between two people who love each other? When the hatred is gone, the knot in the heart will be untied, leaving only love." Zhang Ruochen said.
Chi Yao's body was full of energy, and she broke away from Zhang Ruochen's arms and said, "You have a way of saying it anyway. You have really changed and become more powerful, not just in terms of cultivation."
Zhang Ruochen knew that she must be very angry. After all, some of the words he said before were so hurtful and even hurt her self-esteem and feelings.
Zhang Ruochen looked directly at her and said, "It was you I saw in the Destiny Pond."
Chi Yao's delicate body trembled slightly, these words healed all the wounds in her heart.
But, he was even more angry.
"Actually, I really hated you at that time. Seeing you in the fateful pool made me understand that the reason why I hate you so much is because I love you too deeply."
Zhang Ruochen continued: "The reason why I did that before was to force you to tell the truth. However, I also want to tell you a truth. No matter what the reason is, it is really uncomfortable to be hurt by the person you love most.
Can you understand now the pain I have suffered all these years?"
Chi Yao was silent.
It has to be said that she has never considered the problem from Zhang Ruochen's perspective. She has always felt that everything she did was a sacrifice and it was all for him.
But, is this method really good?
Zhang Ruochen continued: "Kunlun and Kong Le should have had a happy childhood. You should not have told them that I was their enemy. You know, when they came to me for revenge, I was in more pain than you were before."
"So you are deliberately seeking revenge?" Chi Yao said.
Zhang Ruochen said: "I don't mean to take revenge, I'm just being reasonable."
Chi Yao said: "Okay, I will reason with you! I did not destroy their childhood, but it is impossible to find someone to be their father. So, who is their father?"
"You destroyed the Lingxiaotian Palace, and many members of the Chi family were killed by you. The entire royal family has a blood feud with you. Kong Le and Kunlun grew up with them, and have long regarded you as their enemy."
"After I entered the divine realm, I not only had to consolidate my cultivation, but also recuperate my injuries. I also had to fight with various forces. I had no energy to take care of them. In addition, the gods could not interfere in the secular world, so I could only find a reason to send them to
By your side, it is up to you to resolve the hatred in their hearts and take care of them."
"Only when they see you and you tell them the truth can the confusion and hatred in their hearts be truly resolved."
Zhang Ruochen thought deeply for a moment and said sarcastically: "In short, your method is wrong."
Chi Yao also knew that she had done something wrong, and that she had hurt Zhang Ruochen deeply, so she stopped arguing and said softly: "What did you see in the fateful pool?"
Zhang Ruochen said: "I never believe in fate."
"Whatever I saw, no matter whether it was good or bad, I can accept it. I just thought that I had been killed by your sword just now. What could be worse than this?" Chi Yao deliberately showed a free and easy look.
Zhang Ruochen looked up at the sky and said, "Unless you promise me first, no matter what happens, we will not practice the "Thirty-Third Heaven"."
Chi Yao's eyes were deep and he said: "Are you serious? By doing this, you have failed the holy monk's expectations of you."
"Even if I let down the holy monk, I don't want to let you down."
This time, it was Zhang Ruochen's turn to pretend to be free and easy, and said: "Who said that I must cultivate to the thirty-third heaven? Who said that I can't cultivate to the thirty-third heaven with my own strength? Besides, the so-called thirty-third heaven
The third heaven is just a speculation. Even what you see in the fate pool is just a prediction. Why can't we live in the present first? As long as we work hard enough, the future can be changed."
Chi Yao was still thinking.
"Forget it, I will break through the realm and become a god first, completely cutting off your thoughts."
Zhang Ruochen took back Shen Yuan's ancient sword, unfolded the golden wings on his back, turned into a golden light, and flew towards the exit of the Dark Abyss.
In fact, what Zhang Ruochen didn't know was that when he held Chi Yao in his arms, when the two had cleared up their past feud, and when he said the word "favorite", Chi Yao still didn't have the courage to die!
