Chapter 882: Chapter 880: Willing to Be the River, Reunited With You, Souls United as One
The harsh winter dissipates, and the Star River shines eternally.
Jun Xiaoyao is the eternal light in Celestial Maiden Yuan’s heart.
So, to guard this bit of light, Celestial Maiden Yuan is willing to sacrifice everything.
Even her own life!
Boom!
Waves of Order Divine Principle spread out from within Celestial Maiden Yuan, resembling Dao Fire.
Celestial Maiden Yuan’s delicate body begins to burn.
"Celestial Maiden Yuan..."
Jun Xiaoyao can’t help but subtly change his expression.
This scene was beyond everyone’s expectations.
"What’s going on?" The Tenth Prince of the Golden Crow is momentarily stunned.
"Yuan, what are you doing?"
Ling Yuan comes to her senses, showing an expression of surprise, her mind stirring, wanting to stop Celestial Maiden Yuan from committing suicide.
As long as Ling Yuan is willing, Celestial Maiden Yuan couldn’t even succeed in suicide.
But...
What astonishes Ling Yuan is that she cannot control Celestial Maiden Yuan’s self-immolation.
Celestial Maiden Yuan’s lips curl into a faint smile and she says, "Ling Yuan, did you think you could control me forever?"
"I forgot to tell you, before I handed over the Wa Huang Celestial Heart Technique to you, I made some small adjustments."
Upon hearing this, Ling Yuan is shocked to the core.
The Wa Huang Celestial Heart Technique was what she sent Celestial Maiden Yuan to seek.
It was also what Celestial Maiden Yuan acquired in the Tai’e Temple of the Snake-man Race.
Could it be that since that time, Celestial Maiden Yuan had foreseen today?
And planted a hidden countermeasure and a clue?
"Celestial Maiden Yuan, don’t do something stupid."
Jun Xiaoyao finally speaks.
He had been silent before, unsure how to face Celestial Maiden Yuan’s feelings.
Celestial Maiden Yuan must have known as well; she indeed left a mark in Jun Xiaoyao’s heart.
But...
It was only a mark.
Jun Xiaoyao was destined never to linger for anyone.
Celestial Maiden Yuan’s love and sacrifice were fated to not be reciprocated equally.
Yet, Celestial Maiden Yuan still did it.
Perhaps love is something that makes people foolish.
"Ling Yuan, you and I were meant to be one; since that’s the case, let’s return to the original state."
As Celestial Maiden Yuan speaks, her whole body blazes more intensely.
The Tenth Prince of the Golden Crow can only let go.
Celestial Maiden Yuan’s delicate body, amidst the Order Dao Fire, inch by inch turns to ashes.
But her gaze remains fixed deeply, full of emotion, on Jun Xiaoyao.
As though she wants to engrave Jun Xiaoyao’s face into eternal memory.
"Yuan, could it be you..." Ling Yuan seems to have thought of something, her phoenix eyes even reflecting a trace of fear!
She knows what Celestial Maiden Yuan intends to do.
She wants to abandon her flesh body, through the Wa Huang Celestial Heart Technique, let her soul return to the Wa Huang Sacred Body, and merge with Ling Yuan!
In that way, Celestial Maiden Yuan herself will disappear.
Or rather, exist in another form alongside Ling Yuan!
"No... you can’t do this..." Ling Yuan’s aura becomes disordered, her phoenix eyes wide open.
As the Immortal Court Young Emperor, for the first time, she feels unease and fear!
This was also Celestial Maiden Yuan’s premeditated plan.
Through this method, affecting Ling Yuan, preventing her from killing Jun Xiaoyao.
Moreover, given Ling Yuan’s power and influence, she might be able to help Jun Xiaoyao in the future.
This is the last thing Celestial Maiden Yuan can do for Jun Xiaoyao.
"Yuan, you..."
Jun Xiaoyao’s hands tighten around the ground.
Celestial Maiden Yuan’s delicate body, in the Dao Fire, turns into all-encompassing ashes.
But her soul, seems to transform into a brilliant human-shaped starlight, drifting in front of Jun Xiaoyao.
Embracing Jun Xiaoyao, she plants a kiss on his lips.
However...
Jun Xiaoyao no longer feels anything.
Because Celestial Maiden Yuan, even her flesh has turned to ashes.
Jun Xiaoyao lifts his hand, wanting to touch Celestial Maiden Yuan’s lovely face, but can only feel the void.
"Willing to be the river, to reunite with you..."
Celestial Maiden Yuan smiles, murmuring beside Jun Xiaoyao’s ear.
Then, this human-shaped starlight turns into a radiant light, directly merging into Ling Yuan’s Primordial Spirit.
"No... don’t..."
Ling Yuan’s mind writhes in intense pain, her jade hands clenching her temples, endless memories in disarray, flooding back like a tide.
And among these memories, all are the figure of Jun Xiaoyao!
Jun Xiaoyao stood in place, stunned.
Willing to be the river, reunited with you.
Will there be a day we meet again?
Jun Xiaoyao fell silent.
The atmosphere at the scene was one of dead silence.
No one expected Celestial Maiden Yuan to leave in such a manner.
No...
Perhaps not necessarily!
Many people shifted their gaze to Ling Yuan.
Ling Yuan’s face was pale as paper, her jade hand covering her forehead.
"Ling Yuan, are you alright?" The Ancient Emperor furrowed his brow tightly.
If Ling Yuan met with an accident, wouldn’t the Seven Emperors Immortal Slaying Array be impossible to deploy?
"I’m... fine..." Ling Yuan gasped deeply, her chest rising and falling.
She hadn’t expected Celestial Maiden Yuan to hide this move, undetected even by her.
"Willing to be the river, reunited with you..." Ling Yuan’s red lips parted slightly, unconsciously murmuring these words.
At this moment, she was Ling Yuan, yet not entirely Ling Yuan.
Because Celestial Maiden Yuan’s soul had already merged with Ling Yuan’s soul as one.
Dual souls ultimately fused together.
On the other side, the Tenth Prince of the Golden Crow looked extremely sullen.
A bargaining chip, gone.
But the next moment, he felt a chilling aura of killing intent locking onto him.
"Tenth Prince of the Golden Crow..."
Jun Xiaoyao’s eyes erupted with ultimate killing intent.
His nature was cold and indifferent, rarely angry.
But now, Jun Xiaoyao was furious.
He had never wanted to kill someone so much!
"Die!"
Jun Xiaoyao’s figure instantly swept in front of the Tenth Prince of the Golden Crow, reaching out to grab him!
"Jun Xiaoyao, don’t be arrogant, this Crown Prince has also cultivated the Acquired Chaos Body!"
The Tenth Prince of the Golden Crow roared fiercely, his body exploding with Chaos Qi, condensing into a Chaos Hand Seal, crushing towards Jun Xiaoyao.
"Die!"
Jun Xiaoyao’s aura erupted entirely, the Blood of the Holy Body boiling and burning, killing intent flooding the Ninth Heaven, destroying all heavens, seemingly causing all gods to fall!
"Creation, Divine Light!"
In Jun Xiaoyao’s hand, he seemed to hold a touch of Eternal Light, capable of obliterating everything!
At this moment, he wanted nothing more than to completely erase the Tenth Prince of the Golden Crow from existence!
Boom!
The Eternal Light directly pierced through the Chaos Hand Seal, then relentlessly blasted towards the Tenth Prince of the Golden Crow.
The Tenth Prince of the Golden Crow’s expression shook, fear appearing in his eyes.
He had already transformed into the Acquired Chaos Body, yet was no match for Jun Xiaoyao.
"Sun Treasure Wheel!"
The Tenth Prince of the Golden Crow summoned the Quasi-Emperor Weapon.
But the result remained unchanged!
Accompanied by a deafening, earsplitting boom.
The Tenth Prince of the Golden Crow’s blood spurted wildly, his flesh body shattered!
The Sun Treasure Wheel of the Quasi-Emperor Weapon even showed signs of cracking!
The power of Jun Xiaoyao’s techniques was evident!
He was truly enraged!
"Jun Xiaoyao, even in death, I’ll drag you into hell with me!"
The Tenth Prince of the Golden Crow released a throat-ripping scream, Chaos Qi within his body suddenly erupting.
Simultaneously, the Sun Treasure Wheel of the Quasi-Emperor Weapon emitted dazzling brilliance, energy unstable, exploding!
The Tenth Prince of the Golden Crow chose self-destruction, exploding along with the Quasi-Emperor Weapon!
Boom!
A chaotic mushroom cloud rose, creating terrifying chaos waves!
The power was no weaker than the previous showdown between Jun Xiaoyao and the Seven Emperors!
The chaotic mushroom cloud shook the entire world, the power of destruction rampant!
An Acquired Chaos Body along with a self-destructing Quasi-Emperor Weapon was immensely powerful.
Even in unexpected circumstances, it could blast a Quasi-Supreme Venerable into pieces!
Yet in the chaos waves, Jun Xiaoyao stood unharmed.
Around him appeared some Devouring Vortexes from the Devouring God Demon Technique.
Absorbing and refining the Solar Holy Power from the Tenth Prince of the Golden Crow.
This Solar Holy Power, combined with Jun Xiaoyao’s Taiyin Sacred Power, greatly aids the transformation of his Inner Cosmos.
However, at this moment, Jun Xiaoyao’s eyes showed no joy.
A sigh fell from Jun Xiaoyao’s lips.
What did it matter if the Tenth Prince of the Golden Crow was dead?
The girl who danced under the stars for him had vanished.
