Ye Xiu clutched the woman tightly, not daring to relax in the slightest.
It was as though the moment he loosened his grip, the person in his arms would leave him forever.
Yet none of his efforts had any effect whatsoever.
"No... no... no..."
Watching the woman in his arms gradually dissolve into the void, Ye Xiu threw back his head and roared. He howled like a madman as violent power began spreading endlessly in all directions.
Space was shattered with ease, the earth was torn apart, and peals of thunder rolled across the heavens.
A terrifying holy might rapidly spread throughout the entire Origin Continent.
Countless powerhouses trembled beneath that horrifying force.
Among them, countless supreme experts watched this scene with eyes full of regret.
They regretted that such a peerless genius had actually fallen into the tribulation of love.
If he could not overcome this trial, then this child would go no further in this lifetime. A peerless genius would be completely ruined.
The scene faded away.
Another scene unfolded.
His clothes were tattered, his face covered in stubble. With a wine gourd in hand and a broken sword on his back, Ye Xiu, his face etched with vicissitudes and looking like a beggar, sat alone beside a gravestone.
He leaned against the gravestone, his right hand resting on his bent right leg as he gazed at the distant sunset with a face full of vicissitudes.
At the horizon, a sea of fiery red clouds hung high in the sky.
"Yun'er, I've come to see you again. I've always been with you, so don't be afraid."
"In this life, I, Ye Xiu, will stay with you like this forever. Forever... stay with you."
After saying that, Ye Xiu lifted the gourd and took a huge swig of wine.
