"You lost." Lin Tianhao said lightly. He did not kill Demon Emperor, but chose to seal him.
As Demon Emperor was sealed, Ashoka Lake also returned to its former peace. Lin Tianhao, holding Ashoka Pearl, stood by the lake and took a deep breath of fresh air. "It's finally over." He murmured to himself, filled with joy and a sense of accomplishment.
At the same time, Gu Sheng and Yan Ruyu, who were watching the battle from a distance, also breathed a sigh of relief. Gu Sheng said with a smile, "It seems we don't have to worry anymore, Lin Tianhao is indeed an amazing person."
"Indeed." Yan Ruyu nodded, "Not only does he have outstanding strength, but what's more rare is that he has a kind heart and chooses sealing instead of killing. This is what a truly strong man does."
After that, Yan Ruyu put away the phantom mirror and prepared to leave. However, at this moment, a violent energy fluctuation suddenly came from the direction of the Western Region.
"That's... the direction of Ashoka Lake?" Gu Sheng frowned and looked into the distance.
Yan Ruyu also felt the unusual aura. She quickly took out the phantom mirror again, and the mirror showed the scene of the Western Region: the originally calm lake surface was now turbulent, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and there was lightning and thunder.
"No, Demon Emperor is broken!" Yan Ruyu exclaimed.
In the mirror, the sealed Demon Emperor suddenly broke free and turned into a humanoid shadow, floating in mid-air. His eyes were cold, scanning Ashoka Lake below, and finally locked on Lin Tianhao by the lake.
"Boy, do you think you can seal me?" Demon Emperor sneered, "Now, let me show you the real power!"
After saying that, he turned into a black light and rushed towards Lin Tianhao. And Lin Tianhao also sensed the crisis at this moment. He looked up, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
"Since I can seal you once, I can seal you a second time!" Lin Tianhao shouted, and stepped forward to meet him.
The two met in the air and a fierce battle broke out. Although Demon Emperor is just a shadow, its power is still the same as before; while Lin Tianhao relies on the power of Ashoka Pearl to compete with it.
As time went on, the fighting became more intense. Although Lin Tianhao is extremely brave, he is still a little immature when faced with Old Monster like Demon Emperor. Gradually, he began to be at a disadvantage, and the scars on his body became more and more numerous.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred! I saw Demon Emperor's shadow suddenly flashed and penetrated into Lin Tianhao's body!
"Ah——" Lin Tianhao screamed, falling from the air and falling heavily to the ground.
"Hahaha! Success! I can finally regain my life!" Demon Emperor's voice came out from Lin Tianhao's body, full of ecstasy and arrogance.
But at this moment, the mutation happened again! Lin Tianhao's body suddenly burst out with intense light, as if a mysterious force was awakening. Immediately afterwards, his body began to tremble violently, as if he was undergoing some kind of transformation.
"What's going on?" Demon Emperor exclaimed, feeling that his soul was being swallowed by a powerful force!
"No! I won't give in!" Demon Emperor roared angrily, trying to break free, but to no avail. His soul was eventually completely devoured and integrated into Lin Tianhao's body.
With the integration of Demon Emperor, the atmosphere of Lin Tianhao has also changed. He slowly opened his eyes, and a powerful aura emanated from him, as if it could shake the world!
"Is this the power after fusion?" Lin Tianhao murmured to himself. He felt as if he had been given a new life. Not only did his injuries disappear, but his strength increased greatly!
At this moment, the sky above Ashoka Lake has returned to calm, but the surrounding air is still filled with residual fighting atmosphere. Lin Tianhao stands quietly above the lake, as if it has become the center of this world.
His change not only alarmed the powerful powers in the Western Region, but also attracted the attention of the entire Xiwu. Countless eyes focused on the sky above Ashoka Lake, and people were shocked by this sudden change.
Gu Sheng and Yan Ruyu also witnessed all this through the phantom mirror. "What... what happened?" Gu Sheng asked in shock.
"The souls of Lin Tianhao and Demon Emperor have merged." Yan Ruyu took a deep breath and said slowly, "The Lin Tianhao now is no longer the same person as before."
Sure enough, as Yan Ruyu said, Lin Tianhao seemed to have changed into a different person at this time, his aura was more powerful, and his eyes revealed a kind of depth and majesty. He slowly raised his head and looked up at the sky, as if talking to heaven and earth.
Suddenly, he stretched out his palm and activated the power of the stars. I saw the stars in the sky begin to twinkle, as if they resonated with him. A powerful force surged out from his palm and shot straight into the sky!
"Rumble--" With the surge of power, the entire sky changed color! Thunder and lightning, the wind and clouds are changing! It seems like the end is coming! People looked at this scene in horror, not knowing what would happen next.
But Lin Tianhao stood there with a calm expression, as if everything was under his control. He slowly retracted his palm, and the vision in the sky disappeared. The entire Ashoka Lake returned to calm again.
But people know what powerful power is hidden under this calm lake. Their eyes looked at Lin Tianhao with awe and admiration. This young man has surpassed their imagination and become a true legend!
Gu Sheng and Yan Ruyu in the distance also saw this scene. They looked at each other and smiled, knowing that the battle was over. Lin Tianhao solved this problem in his way and gained more power. They are happy for Lin Tianhao and full of expectations for their future.
"What an amazing person!" Gu Sheng exclaimed, "I think we will become even stronger in the future!"
"I will definitely do it." Yan Ruyu responded with a smile, "We all have our own path to walk. As long as we have firm faith and move forward courageously, we will definitely be able to realize our dreams!"
The night was like water, with a bright moon hanging high in the sky, and the silver moonlight falling in the courtyard, adding a bit of mystery and romance to this quiet night.
Gu Sheng stood in front of Yan Ruyu, holding a treasure with a faint light in his hand - Life Bead Necklace.
"Ruyu, look." Gu Sheng said softly, his voice revealing an indescribable tenderness.
Yan Ruyu looked up and saw a crystal clear bead inlaid on the necklace in Gu Sheng's hand. It exuded a soft light, as if it had life, beating and shining.
"This is..." Yan Ruyu's pupils shrank slightly, and she was deeply attracted by the beauty of this bead.
"This is Life Bead Necklace," Gu Sheng explained. "It is a treasure obtained from Wu Dewang. It contains endless vitality and power."
Life Bead Necklace is even more dazzling under the moonlight. Its light seems to be able to penetrate the darkness and illuminate people's hearts. It is like a star in the night sky, shining with the light of hope and life.
"Look, its luster is as fresh as morning dew, and its texture is as pure as crystal." Gu Sheng gently stroked the necklace with his fingers, as if telling its story, "This pearl of life, its vitality is so rich that you can feel the pulse of life. It is full of vitality, warmth, softness, and agility..."
Yan Ruyu Listening to Gu Sheng's description, the shock and love in his eyes became more intense. She looked at the Pearl of Life, as if she could feel the vitality contained in it. It is a gentle and powerful force that can heal all wounds and pain.
"Moreover, it also has miraculous healing effects," Gu Sheng continued. "Whether it is physical trauma or mental scars, as long as you wear it, you can recover quickly."
Yan Ruyu Listening to these words, an inexplicable feeling surged in my heart. She looked up at Gu Sheng and found that his eyes were full of tenderness and care.
"Gu Sheng, do you really want to give me such a precious treasure?" Yan Ruyu's voice was trembling.
"Yes, Ruyu, I want to give it to you." Gu Sheng said with a smile, "In my heart, you are as dazzling and full of life as this pearl of life. I hope it can bring you good luck and happiness."
Saying that, Gu Sheng gently put Life Bead Necklace on Yan Ruyu's neck. The length of the necklace is just right, and the Pearl of Life just hangs on Yan Ruyu's chest. It complements her white skin and makes her even more beautiful.
Yan Ruyu stroked the necklace around his neck, his heart filled with emotion and joy. She looked up at Gu Sheng, with tears in her eyes, "Thank you, Gu Sheng."
Gu Sheng reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Yan Ruyu's eyes, "Don't cry, Ruyu. I hope you will be happy every day."
The two people's eyes met together at this moment, as if time had stopped. They stared at each other, their hearts filled with love and commitment to each other.
The moonlight fell on them, as if they were covered with a silver halo. They stood in the moonlight like beautiful women, leaning on each other, enjoying this rare tranquility and warmth.
"Gu Sheng," Yan Ruyu said suddenly, "I will cherish this necklace."
"I know you will," Gu Sheng said with a smile, "Ruyu, I hope we can keep going. No matter what difficulties and challenges we may encounter in the future, as long as we work together, we will be able to overcome everything."
Yan Ruyu nodded, with a firm light shining in his eyes, "Well, we will keep going."
The two held hands tightly together, as if they were making a Eternal promise to each other. The moonlight fell on them, witnessing this part of their lives.
At this moment, they seemed to be in a dream world, and everything around them became so beautiful and peaceful.
Lived in the demon territory for a few days.
The early morning sun shines through the dense treetops and shines on an exquisite courtyard in the demon clan's territory. Gu Sheng was sitting leisurely at the stone table in the courtyard, sipping a cup of tea, and heard the crisp chirping of birds in his ears.
Suddenly, a burst of soft footsteps broke the tranquility. Gu Sheng looked up and saw a woman in a light blue dress slowly walking towards her. She had a delicate face and a trace of expectation and anxiety in her eyes.
"Your Highness, you are a rare visitor, please take a seat." Gu Sheng stood up and warmly invited Yu Die to take a seat.
Yu Die smiled slightly and sat down gracefully, "Mr. Gu, I heard that you were a guest in the Demon Clan's territory recently, so I came here specifically to visit."
"Oh? What's important for Your Highness the Princess?" Gu Sheng asked curiously.
Yu Die took a deep breath and seemed to have made up his mind, "Mr. Gu, I heard that you have a treasure in your hand, named Dream Butterfly Atlas. I wonder if you are willing to give up your love and transfer it to me?"
Gu Sheng was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Yu Die came here for Dream Butterfly Atlas. He pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Your Highness, to be honest, Dream Butterfly Atlas was indeed in my hands, but I have already given it to Jade Pool Saintess."
When Yu Die heard this, a trace of disappointment flashed across his face, "This... Mr. Gu, I wonder if you can ask Saintess to get the map back? I am willing to pay any price."
Gu Sheng looked at Yu Die's eager expression and couldn't help but wonder, "Your Highness, why are you so persistent about this Dream Butterfly Atlas?"
Yu Die sighed softly, "Young master Gu, you don't know. That Dream Butterfly Atlas is actually part of the ancient scripture inherited by my Yu clan. Many years ago, our clan suffered a great disaster, which caused the inheritance to be broken and the map was lost. I didn't expect that it would end up in the Dragon Cloud Kingdom, let alone that it would be transferred to your hands."
"Oh, I understand." Gu Sheng took a deep breath, a glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes, "Your Highness, although I cannot directly hand Dream Butterfly Atlas back to you, I can share the secret of the map with you. As for how much you can understand, it depends on your Fortune."
When Yu Die heard this, his eyes shone like stars, which was the brilliance of hope and gratitude. "Really? Mr. Gu, you... are you willing to help me?" There was a tremor in her voice, as if she couldn't believe that such a good thing would happen to her.
Gu Sheng nodded and answered in the affirmative, but then changed the subject, "However, it is not easy to teach the essence of the map. We need to practice 'Jade Maiden Heart Sutra' to enter a special virtual space before we can proceed."
"No matter what, I'm willing to give it a try." Yu Die responded immediately without hesitation.
"Okay, let's start now." Gu Sheng said, stood up, walked to Yu Die, and stretched out his palm.
Yu Die also stretched out his hand, facing Gu Sheng's palm. The two began to practice "Jade Maiden Heart Sutra". As the technique worked, their breathing and heartbeats gradually synchronized, as if they had become one person. The surrounding space began to twist and change, eventually forming a bright virtual world.
"Hey, where are we?" Yu Die asked in surprise.
"This is the virtual space we created through 'Jade Maiden Heart Sutra'." Gu Sheng explained, "Here, we can understand the mystery of Dream Butterfly Atlas together."
Their figures intersect in the light and shadow, like two butterflies dancing among the flowers. Together they explore the mystery of the map. Every movement and every look is full of tacit understanding and harmony.
"Mr. Gu, I feel like I'm about to understand the true meaning of the atlas." Yu Die said excitedly.
"Very good, Your Highness Princess. Let's keep working hard. I believe you will succeed." Gu Sheng encouraged.
