Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Distant Fire
Where is this?
Ye Tianru was in a world outside the Ling, this was an incomparably dark world, silent, and all he could see in front of him was eternal darkness.
Come to think of it, I'm already dead, killed by the Silver Moon Demon Wolf, so this must be the underworld, the realm of death.
Stretching out the palm of his hand, he wanted to touch something, but he found that he couldn't touch anything, and his body seemed to become nothing, unable to touch, unable to perceive.
There seemed to be a little more fire in the darkness, and as I walked in the direction of the firelight, the field of vision in front of me gradually expanded.
It is a crimson world, surrounded by volcanoes that spew hot lava, and there is an altar in the center of this world. Attached to the altar was a large black stone pillar filled with dark golden-red runes. A stunning woman was tied to the stone pillar.
The woman's face is no more than twenty, with a gorgeous fiery red hair, a full and slender body, dressed in a pale pink brocade robe, white as jade jade arms are exposed, the thick chains extending on the stone pillar firmly fix the woman on the stone pillar, and there is a dark red rune on the woman's forehead, and the woman's beautiful face shows a painful look.
There were also many figures around the altar, all with solemn expressions, and on the outermost part stood a group of warriors in strong and stubborn clothes, their eyes were firm, all looking in the direction of the altar, surrounding the altar layer by layer.
It was as if a sacred ceremony was being performed.
"The hour has come, ready for execution!"
An old man in a priest's costume in the crowd said loudly, and the warrior in charge of the execution was ready to strike.
"Stop!"
A flash of fire rose from the sky, falling like a meteorite, right in front of the altar. The firelight dissipated, revealing a slightly childish face.
This young man has short blue hair, the hair flutters evil on his head, has a pair of light brown eyes, and is wearing a black battle armor, this appearance Ye Tian is extremely familiar, although his face is slightly different, but it is the younger Shen Xingchen.
"Shen Xingchen!"
Ye Tian shouted and waved his hand at him, but Shen Xingchen didn't seem to see him, his eyes still looked straight at the woman on the stone pillar.
Ye Tian came to Shen Xingchen's side and wanted to touch him, but he penetrated through his body, he didn't seem to be a physical existence, no wonder Shen Xingchen didn't see him.
"Rebel, you dare to come back!"
A voice filled with infinite anger came from a distance, and Ye Tian couldn't help but cast his gaze in the direction where the voice came from.
A path was carved out of the sea of people, and a middle-aged man wearing a golden crown and a golden robe came out. This person is about thirty years old, and a pair of pure golden eyes are full of boundless kingly domineering. Although there was not a trace of breath leaking from his body, he always felt that there was a trace of danger oozing from this person's body, like a volcano about to erupt.
"Father. ”
Shen Xingchen bowed slightly, and the person who came turned out to be Shen Xingchen's father. Ye Tian unconsciously glanced at the golden-eyed man.
"Someone will take this rebel for me. ”
The golden-eyed man sneered, and did not respond positively to Shen Xingchen's greetings, it seems that the relationship between his father and son is not good.
"Yes. ”
Many warriors surrounded Shen Xingchen and sealed all the directions where he could escape.
"Father, is there no room for change in this matter? That's my sister, your own daughter, and that child is also your grandson! Do you really want to kill them?"
Shen Xingchen looked sad and indignant, is there no family affection in his father's eyes?
"If it is not my race, its heart will be different, young patriarch, why do you bother?"
Opposite Shen Xingchen, an old man in a green robe stroked his beard and persuaded.
"If it's not my race, its heart must be different?haha, I can't imagine that the Phoenix Clan, which was once a glorious life, is also so pedantic, I really don't know if it's sad or ridiculous......"
An inexplicable mockery came from a distance, Ye Tian was also attracted by this hearty laughter, and when he looked up again, there was a man in black in front of the altar at some point, the man's black hair was scattered, there were two sharp horns on his forehead, and he was burly, judging from his appearance, he was a guy with thick lines.
But the moment this man appeared, Ye Tian's heart beat wildly, and a feeling that he had never felt before, although he had never seen this person, it gave him an extremely familiar feeling.
"You're finally here. ”
Staring at the man opposite, Xuan Linghuang* said in a calm voice, as if he was saying something expected.
"But you think you're the only one who wants to turn the world upside down in my clan?"
"How do you know the result if you don't try it?"
The man in black smiled lightly, this smile was a provocation to his majesty in front of King Xuanling Huang, and he laughed angrily.
"Well, you are the first one in so many years who dares to threaten this king...... In that case, you will leave it to this king!"
Before the words fell, the figure of the Xuanling Phoenix King disappeared, and the man in black took a step forward, slamming his hands forward.
The Xuanling Phoenix King and the man in black interlocked their palms, and a strong momentum swept around the two of them, forming a strong shock wave that shook the crowd around them.
After the two of them came into contact, they separated like lightning, and their fists and palms intersected again, and the space in the middle collapsed, forming a spatial turbulence, and if they were in it, even their bodies would be shattered.
"Poof. ”
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and the body of the man in black flew out upside down, with his current strength was not enough to compete with the Xuanling Phoenix King, but it was with the help of the rebound force that he came to the altar.
"Yun'er, I will definitely rescue you. ”
A gentle smile appeared on the face of the man in black, completely different from the previous ferocity, his palm lightly grasped the void, and a dark red giant axe appeared on the palm, raising the giant axe, without any hesitation, angrily slashing at the chain.
"How is that possible?" The man in black was amazed, his axe was enough to crack the mountain, but it had no effect on the chain, and there was a faint burst of fiery darkness from the chain, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
"It's useless," two lines of tears slid down her beautiful cheeks, "This is the secret technique of the Phoenix clan, the bound clansmen will gradually suck out their vitality, it is a blessing in my life to meet you, especially, go quickly, don't bother me anymore." ”
"No, I promised you, I will accompany you and protect you in this life, you can't go before me, you can't!"
The man in black was like crazy, the giant axe in his hand swung wildly, the chain did not move at all, but he trembled a little, this was injured by the dark energy in it.
"Leave me alone, you must save Tian'er, that is our only blood ......"
Before the woman known as Yun'er could finish speaking, the pain on her face was even worse, and the terrible flames had consumed her body, and this kind of flame could not only cause physical damage, but also incinerate the soul.
"No!"
The man in black was stunned, his body trembled violently, he didn't want to believe that all this was true, his hands wanted to touch but could only touch nothingness, his beloved Yun'er's eyes gradually hollowed, but for a moment, the woman was gone, without the slightest trace.
"No ......"
The man's face was like ashes, his face was full of sorrow, although he couldn't see his expression, Ye Tian knew that his heart was crying.
After a long time, the man in black relieved himself, his figure also disappeared, and between the rise and fall of the giant axe in his hand, several people died under the axe, and the man in black was like a grim reaper in black, and no one was spared wherever he passed.
"Bastard, can't you find death?"
King Xuanling Phoenix was really angry, he broke into the Phoenix Clan alone, made a big fuss about the sacred sacrifice ceremony, and now he slaughtered his people in front of him, all of which were the face of his clan, once this was spread, how could he save the face of the Phoenix Clan?
"This king didn't want to do this, but you have repeatedly insulted our people, committed heinous crimes, and now you have killed my people and deceived my Phoenix clan No one, if you don't behead you here today, you will definitely bring shame to our people!"
"May the ancestors protect our people and protect our people forever!" The Xuanling Phoenix King bit the tip of his tongue, a drop of golden blood floated on his fingertips, outlining a mysterious picture and text in the sky, and a huge phoenix phantom appeared behind him. Correspondingly, the huge stone pillar suddenly burst out with brilliant light, accompanied by a loud phoenix roar, a larger flame phoenix separated from the stone pillar, and an ancient aura from the ancient period emanated from it, accompanied by a strong to the extreme coercion.
"Meet the Ancestral Soul!"
"Meet the Ancestral Soul!"
When the Flame Phoenix appeared, the faces of the Phoenix Clan present at the altar were filled with fanaticism, and the coercion that originated in the bloodline instantly made everyone fall to their knees.
The man in black stopped moving, and from the flame phoenix, he felt a real crisis, if he couldn't take this move, he would fall.
"Yun'er has left, what's the point of my existence, since that's the case, let's disappear together!"
The man in black roared angrily, and a thousand demon god phantoms appeared behind him, swinging angrily at the Xuanling Phoenix King, and where the huge axe shadow passed, the space collapsed, forming a black hole that devoured all things.
"Stubborn!"
The Xuanling Phoenix King's palm fell, and the thousand-zhang flame phoenix let out a loud phoenix roar, waving its wings, forming a storm and rushing towards the huge axe shadow.
In Ye Tian's frightened gaze, the flame phoenix collided with the huge axe shadow, and at this moment, the world seemed to disappear and return to nothingness again.
"Hehe, little ghost, do you feel a lot when you see this scene back then?"
A voice came into Ye Tian's ears, causing the latter's body to shake.
"Who is it?"
Ye Tian felt that the scene in front of him changed again, he seemed to be standing on a sea area, there was a blurred figure in front of him, the whole sea area was quiet, only the two of them.
"Where is this and who are you?"
"This is the depths of your consciousness, that is, your sea of consciousness, as for my identity you don't need to know now, you should know that you are dead now, no matter what you have left in life, you will return to nothingness after death. ”
Ye Tian's eyes were a little gloomy, yes, he was dead, and all kinds of grievances and hatreds had disappeared.
"Are you willing?"
"Huh?"
Stunned by this sudden question, Ye Tian didn't know what to answer, but he lowered his head and seemed to be a little hesitant.
"It seems that you are still not reconciled. ”
The figure was still talking to himself, but most of Ye Tian couldn't understand it, and the figure suddenly nodded.
"That's it, I hope the adult doesn't blame me. ”
"Boy, I can give you a chance to return to the world, and I can give you great power, but in return you will have to pay a price. ”
"At what cost?"
"All you need is a few drops of your natal blood. Anyway, you're dead now, and if you don't accept my terms, you'll have to go to the underworld, the realm of death. ”
The figure looked at Ye Tian rather playfully, and his face seemed to show a look of cat and mouse.
"I promise you. ”
Ye Tian agreed without thinking, just a few drops of essence blood, anyway, he was already dead, even if that figure wanted to be unfavorable to him, there was nothing he couldn't lose.
"Well, you can't go wrong with your choice. ”
The figure stopped laughing, slowly opened its arms, and its body gradually rose into the sky, and the whole person seemed to be a cross hanging in the air.
