Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 199 Remember, this is the last time!

At this moment, Cai Lin was standing not far from the black mist area, her eyes curiously looking at Xiao Bai.

Since regaining consciousness, she has lost all connection with the other woman, which puzzles her greatly. She wonders what happened after she was suppressed.

With a slight sigh, Xiao Bai came to her side and extended a hand.

"Come with me!"

Looking at Xiao Bai, whose expression had suddenly become somewhat somber, and the large hand in front of her, Cai Lin hesitated for a moment before placing her jade-like hand in his palm and letting him lead her forward.

Suddenly, Xiao Bai stopped and said softly:

"Stop right there, don't move! Extend your hands forward!"

Upon hearing this, Cai Lin raised her head slightly and looked ahead, only to find that it was no different from other places.

She had many questions in her mind, wondering why this guy had suddenly become so neurotic, but out of trust, she slowly extended a fair, white hand.

Xiao Bai watched quietly as the hand reached into the black mist area. In the blink of an eye, the black mist seemed to have smelled something delicious and surged into the hand.

In a short while, in Xiao Bai's sight, black mist swirled around that hand, which looked menacing and menacing.

"uh-huh."

Cai Lin suddenly frowned slightly, let out a muffled groan, and a hint of shock flashed in her eyes.

"Does this feeling feel familiar?" Looking at her expression, Xiao Bai pulled her hand back.

Cai Lin glanced at Xiao Bai with surprise in her beautiful eyes, very confused as to why he knew so much.

After a long pause, she gently nodded her head and said in a trembling voice:

"Yes! Just like the feeling she had when she was about to be born!"

"When did this happen?" Xiao Bai's gaze softened as he reached out and gently smoothed the furrowed brow with his thumb.

Feeling his tenderness, Cai Lin's cheeks flushed slightly, and a hint of shy joy flashed across her brows as she softly recounted her story.

"Not long after you left, I had this feeling. At first, I thought it was just a side effect of absorbing the remnant soul of the Devouring Python during my breakthrough, and I thought that once all the soul fragments were absorbed, there shouldn't be any problems, but I didn't expect..."

"But you didn't expect it to get worse and worse, right?" Xiao Bai slowly withdrew his hand and continued the conversation.

"Mmm!" Cai Lin looked at the withdrawn hand, her red lips slightly pursed, and she nodded gently.

"I didn't expect this either," Xiao Bai said slowly, withdrawing his hand from hers and placing it behind his back. Looking at the menacing black mist before him, a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes.

"But it's my fault that you're in trouble!"

"Huh?...You...ruined me?" Cai Lin asked, her eyes filled with surprise and doubt. "What does this have to do with you?"

"Don't resist, soul. I'll show you something!" Xiao Bai said calmly, tilting his head slightly.

"Um!"

Cai Lin gazed into those deep, dark eyes that resembled the starry sky, her silver teeth gently biting her red lips. For some reason, a sense of panic rose in her heart.

With a thought, a streak of golden lightning flashed across the sky above his sea of ​​consciousness and appeared on his fingertip.

"Tsk tsk. You and it really are mortal enemies!" Xiao Bai looked at the Gengjin tribulation lightning slowly jumping in his hand. It seemed to sense the black energy, and the lightning arc was constantly struggling to extend forward.

He looked away from his fingers and up at Cai Lin: "It hurts a little, bear with it!"

As he spoke, he raised two fingers together, making a sword-like gesture, and suddenly swept them across her face.

pain!

A golden light flashed before his eyes, and Cai Lin's vision went black. He could no longer see anything and was startled.

Then a searing, intense pain suddenly spread from my eyes; this intense pain from the soul was several times worse than that from the body.

He covered his eyes with his hands and took several steps back.

Is this what he meant by "it hurts a little"?

Her fists clenched tightly, she wished she could kill him right now, if she didn't know he wouldn't harm her.

She almost thought she was going blind!

That despicable bastard!

"Are you alright?"

She heard that bastard's concerned voice in her ear, but she felt nothing but disgust and angrily said:

"Get out of here! I don't need your concern, you bastard!"

Pushed back a few steps by her, Xiao Bai looked at her slightly twitching, alluring face and shook his head with a wry smile.

Without going through this step, the subsequent matters would be difficult to explain and handle, so we had no choice but to grit our teeth and use this method.

A moment later, the pain on Cai Lin's face gradually faded. Her eyelids twitched slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes. A ray of golden light flashed and disappeared in her pupils.

"What is this?"

After blinking and readjusting to the light, Cai Lin was startled. Staring ahead, she took a few steps back in horror and bumped into a warm embrace.

"This is why your personality has changed!" Xiao Bai held the trembling body in his arms and whispered gently in her delicate earlobe.

"So, everything that happened to me was because of this strange black energy?" Cai Lin was stunned, and tilted her head slightly to avoid Xiao Bai's burning breath near her ear.

"Hmm! You couldn't see it before, and you were influenced by it without realizing it, which is why you had the illusion of having two consciousnesses!" Xiao Bai rested his chin on her fragrant shoulder and said softly.

"What did you say? An illusion?" Cai Lin's expression suddenly changed, her voice rose, and her beautiful eyes looked incredulously at Xiao Bai beside her cheek.

"That's right! Someone was cursing himself back then, and he was really enjoying it!" Xiao Bai suddenly said with a teasing laugh.

In a flash, Cai Lin understood why he had that expression.

Thinking of how he had been called "trash" before, his face instantly turned pale, then slowly darkened, his eyes becoming gloomy, and he gritted his teeth, saying:

"Xiao Bai! You'd better forget those images in your mind and don't tell anyone, or I will definitely kill you to silence you and tear you to pieces!"

"Kukuku"

Feeling the barely suppressed laughter on her shoulder, Cai Lin's face darkened completely. She bent her arm and delivered a vicious elbow strike to the back of her.

"Kuku...uh...!!" The laughter stopped abruptly.

"Did you hear me?"

The voice, cold and sharp as a biting wind, was uttered word by word, causing Xiao Bai to immediately shudder and nod repeatedly in assurance:

"Your Majesty, rest assured, what happened today is a secret between you and me; no one else will ever know!"

"snort!"

Upon hearing this, Cai Lin gave him a cold glare, snorted, and turned to look at the black mist that occupied half of her sea of ​​consciousness.

After a moment of stunned silence, she sighed softly, her delicate body softening as she leaned against the warm embrace behind her, as if she had found a refuge. She closed her eyes and murmured:

"Tell me what happened."

Looking at the suddenly weak Cai Lin, a hint of fatigue could be seen in her once proud and majestic eyes.

Xiao Bai immediately understood that she must have been tormented by matters concerning her soul during this time, and a pang of heartache rose in his eyes.

Even the strongest woman sometimes needs a shoulder to lean on, and he is her only support!

"During your last evolutionary tribulation, the sealing array was absorbed into your soul due to the lightning tribulation, do you remember that?"

Hearing the whispers in her ear, Cai Lin seemed to return to that day. Thinking of the scene, a gentle smile involuntarily appeared on her alluring red lips. If it weren't for the guy behind her, she might have already failed.

With a heavy nasal tone, Cai Lin lazily nodded her head.

"Um!"

"Actually, you're probably implicated because of me. These black mists initially targeted me!"

"What?" Cai Lin suddenly opened her eyes, a hint of anxiety in them, and turned her head to look at Xiao Bai.

"I'm fine!" Xiao Bai shook his head slightly. Seeing the disbelief in her eyes, he found it amusing but also quite touching. He smiled and said, "See for yourself!"

As he spoke, he reached one hand into the black mist in front of him. Instantly, the black mist surged up, but it only hovered a foot away from his arm before refusing to move forward.

"Huh?" Cai Lin exclaimed in surprise, looking at this scene and then at the reaction of the black mist at the edge of the dividing line. In an instant, she understood what was going on and said in astonishment:

"Could it be that my sea of ​​consciousness was split in two because I fused with your soul power, which is why I was able to resist the erosion of this black mist?"

"Not bad!" Xiao Bai withdrew his arm, tightened his embrace around the delicate body, and nodded with a smile.

Speaking of this, I can't help but marvel at how amazing the imperial edict was!

It was only because it was slightly tainted by the aura that it was able to resist the black energy.

Thinking of the black mist that had appeared in his own sea of ​​consciousness, he realized that it must have been allowed by Fu Zhao, otherwise the black mist would never have appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Then where did this black mist come from?" Cai Lin blinked curiously and asked.

Xiao Bai paused for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice, "It might be related to the cultivation technique I practice, or it might be related to the world we live in. I don't know the specific reason!"

"Forget it! If you don't know, you don't know!" Cai Lin waved her hand with a smile, trying to comfort her casually.

"Now that I have eyes that can see through the black mist, I'll be more careful in the future and prevent it from further eroding me!"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"Uh," Xiao Bai said awkwardly, touching his nose with a strange look in his eyes, "your eyesight is temporary. You'll go blind in a few days at most!"

"What?!" Cai Lin looked stunned, suddenly breaking free from Xiao Bai's embrace, and scolded in a delicate voice:

"Xiao Bai! You bastard! I endured so much pain, and now you're telling me this is only temporary?"

Cai Lin now wanted nothing more than to beat this bastard to death, even though she had felt a little touched after learning the reason.

Having endured inhuman pain in exchange for a pair of eyes that can see eerie black mist, it's all worth it!

But I didn't expect it to be a trial version, only available for a few days. If I want to use it again later, I'll have to pay.

It's one thing to recharge, but the way to recharge is simply unbearable. Thinking of the excruciating pain he felt before, his face turned slightly pale.

"Hehe... calm down!" Looking at Cai Lin's beautiful eyes wide with anger, her chest heaving as if trying to break free, Xiao Bai soothed her with a fleeting gaze:

"Once I resolve the black mist, you won't need it anymore, so this will be fine temporarily!"

"Hmm? You can deal with the black mist? Didn't you know that?" Cai Lin's anger faltered, and she frowned as she asked.

"Sigh," Xiao Bai sighed deeply, speaking with pity:

"Cai Lin! When you have free time, read more books. Don't just spend all your time fighting and killing. Not knowing the cause and not being able to solve the problem are clearly two different things!"

"You're calling me a brute!" Cai Lin was furious, gritting her teeth.

She almost forgot about this; that jerk had called her an idiot several times before!

"Ah ha. I didn't say it, you said it yourself!" Xiao Bai laughed loudly, turned around and walked to the edge of the black mist. The smile on his face disappeared and gradually became serious.

With a slight thought, a sealing mark appeared in the sea of ​​consciousness outside his body. After circling the talisman a few times, it flew out of the sea of ​​consciousness.

Seeing his expression, Cai Lin knew that he was about to start clearing away the black energy for her, so she quieted down, held her breath, and watched quietly.

Xiao Bai waved his hand, and a bright, dazzling ball of light appeared out of thin air in his sea of ​​consciousness. Wherever the light passed, the black energy retreated as if it had met its nemesis.

"This is a seal. It seems to have a slightly different aura!" Medusa raised an eyebrow when she saw the familiar mark.

This thing was the beginning of her connection with that jerk.

"Imperial Edict!"

Xiao Bai reached out and touched the ball of light. The mark instantly transformed into a light screen that gradually expanded and extended along the gray-black boundary.

In an instant, it seemed to transform into a colossal curtain reaching to the heavens, splitting the entire sea of ​​consciousness space in two.

"Is this... an attempt to separate this area of ​​black mist?"

Cai Lin watched Xiao Bai's actions thoughtfully, instantly understanding his thoughts, but unsure how he intended to deal with the black mist.

"seal up!"

With a soft shout, Xiao Bai formed hand seals, sealing half of Cai Lin's sea of ​​consciousness inside. In an instant, a huge light shield quickly enveloped the entire black mist area, and not a trace of black mist could be seen outside.

"receive!"

Xiao Bai changed his hand seals, and the huge light shield slowly closed. The black mist inside seemed to be very afraid of the aura on the light shield, avoiding contact with the light barrier, like a huge dark cloud rolling back towards the center.

"It's a success!" Cai Lin's red lips parted slightly, her eyes filled with surprise as she looked at the scene.

Her gaze shifted slightly to the upright figure in the black robe, a hint of gentleness flashing in her eyes. She didn't know when it had started, but she really liked seeing that look on his face, as if nothing in the world could faze him, and he was indifferent to it all.

Although his cultivation level is currently lower than hers, she believes that it won't be long before this man grows up and becomes famous throughout the continent!

Suddenly, seeing his brows gradually furrow, Cai Lin also began to feel nervous, wondering what had happened.

Xiao Bai suddenly looked up, his eyes flashing with divine light, as if he wanted to pierce through the void and look into the unknown.

Just now, not long after he sealed the black mist, a wisp of black mist suddenly seeped out from the void in this sea of ​​consciousness space.

It was very faint, not much different from the gray mist in Cai Lin's sea of ​​consciousness, but it was very conspicuous in his spiritual sense.

He sensed a familiar feeling, the aura from that void.

"It seems that next time my soul breaks through to the Spirit Realm, I'll have to try to actively explore!" After a while, Xiao Bai slowly withdrew his gaze, his eyes flashing.

As per usual practice, every time his soul broke through, his mind and body would enter that void without exception.

"Are you alright?" Cai Lin came to his side and asked with a hint of worry.

"It's nothing!" Xiao Bai put down his thoughts, shook his head with a smile, and teased, "Not angry anymore?"

"Hmph! I'll spare you for now, since you helped me eliminate a potential threat!"

Cai Lin raised her head, glanced at Xiao Bai, and said with a dignified expression:

"Remember, this is a one-time exception!"

"Haha." Seeing her haughty expression, which betrayed her true feelings, Xiao Bai couldn't help but laugh. "Then thank you very much for your mercy, Your Majesty!"

Then, with a wave of his hand, a palm-sized, jet-black bead flew from a point in his sea of ​​consciousness and landed in his hand.

"What are you going to do with this thing?" Cai Lin glanced warily at the churning black mist inside the bead and asked softly.

"Don't worry! This is a good thing!" Xiao Bai weighed the beads in his hand and smiled slightly.

His chance to break through to the Spirit Realm might fall on this thing, but the three-year period is almost over. Once this point is over, he can start working on his advancement.

"You've lost half of your soul power this time, it will probably take you a long time to recover!" Xiao Bai looked around at the empty soul mist, his mind racing, thinking about how to solve the problem.

Because of the black mist seeping into the void earlier, he couldn't teach Cai Lin the Heavenly Heart Response Technique like Xian'er could.

However, this kind of loss cannot be recovered by sleeping for a few days when one is at a lower level. Without the help of soul cultivation techniques, it will take a long time to recover.

"This loss is nothing compared to the previous situation!" Cai Lin shook her head slightly, letting out a long sigh of relief. She no longer had to worry about the soul issue.

Looking at the relaxed expression in her eyes, Xiao Bai sighed slightly and did not tell her what he had just seen.

In the short term, Cai Lin should no longer have any problems. As for the black energy, we should wait until we advance to the Spirit Realm and explore that void.
