Chapter 173: Cherry Blossom Fall
In the pitch-black abyss, the crimson land was buried, and the only source of light was the city suspended in the sea.
Lu Yi woke up from the darkness, moved his fingers, slowly flicked his eyelids, and raised his head with difficulty, his head splitting.
He squinted his eyes and tried to sleep, but the cold air around him made it impossible for him to sleep.
He coughed, put his hands on the ground, and sat up slowly, listless like a terminally ill man.
"Bedo..."
He saw the Adepts lying beside him, none of them breathing, their faces as calm as ever, and there was no pain.
"Wake up!"
Lu Yi pushed him, but there was no response.
"Uh..."
Lu Yi groaned, trying to stand up and move, his legs were weak, and it was difficult for him to even stand.
He looked around, and the dilapidated and depressed scene around him made him panic, and as far as he could see, there were ruins and ruins.
Abandoned idols fell to the ground, rubble littered the ground, and in the distance was a huge palace, with a ruined temple on the top of the palace.
Lu Yi held on to the statue that had fallen on the side of the road, stepped on the rubble, and walked inside with difficulty step by step.
In the temple, a graceful figure entered.
"Child, do you see? That is a symbol of power and strength, only power is eternal, the foundation of power is built on strength, embrace the power that belongs to you!"
The voice in his head chattered at Chiba Sakura all the way, and Chiba Sakura didn't bother to pay attention to this person.
When she stepped into the temple, she was greeted not by how wide the temple was, how luxurious and tall the pillars were, but by a statue that shook people's hearts.
The idol is hundreds of feet tall, with outstretched hands, holding a silver light source.
"God... Divine Source!"
Chiba Sakura's eyes flickered, her delicate lips opened, and she stared at the silver light source infatuatedly.
Once in the Divine Domain, Lu Yi had obtained the divine source of Zeus, and her strength had soared, and now that such an opportunity appeared in front of her, how could she not be moved!
"That's right! This is the Titan God King's divine source, and the power contained in it is known only to the starry sky and the universe!"
"I'm going to get it!" Chiba Sakura's gaze tended greedy.
"Child, it's yours, no one is more qualified for it than you!"
"What should I do!" Chiba Sakura swallowed as her throat was a little dry.
"Seeing the giant scythe upside down on the throne in the distance, it is the former god-king thing, the scythe of eternal silence Kronos, you only need to inject your mind into it, get the approval of the god, and the divine source will automatically descend into your body!"
"I see!"
Chiba Sakura walked over step by step, and the tall statue of Kronos gave people an incomparable shock.
In the realm of theocracy, mortals can never lift their heads in front of the gods, and Chiba Sakura was shocked just by seeing a statue of a god-king.
She couldn't imagine what a spectacle it would be for the true god-king to come.
She walked to the bottom of the temple's steps and looked up at the Scythe of Eternal Silence resting atop the throne.
"Go get your new life and embrace your power!" the voice in her ear kept encouraging Chiba Sakura.
The ripples in Chiba Sakura's eyes shook slightly, her small fists clenched, and she pursed her mouth and lowered her head.
She's not stupid, of course there is a price to pay for gaining power, and what the price is, she doesn't know now.
But she didn't want Lu Yi to make any more sacrifices for herself, he had already sacrificed a lot.
"Xiao Yi, I will never let you get hurt again, I will protect you in the future!"
Chiba Sakura's eyes were full of determination, and she walked towards the throne step by step with firm steps.
This is the throne of the god-king, and in the past, the gods used to bow down to the people on the throne, and all beings bowed down, which is the end of faith.
Now that the girl has stepped on this throne, she will pick up the glory of the former god-king.
"It's here!"
Chiba Shinozakura stopped in front of the giant scythe, and the Scythe of Eternal Silence Kronos was right in front of her, within reach.
The delicate lines and ancient sigils on the sickle were reflected in the silver light, and a beam of holy light above the head shone on the sickle, giving it the color of the Holy Spirit.
Chiba Sakura stretched out a hand, retracted it again, bit her lip, tears crossed her beautiful eyes, and she stood stunned for a long time.
Finally, she knelt in front of the scythe, closed her eyes, and reached out to hold it on the blade of the scythe, and the sharp artifact instantly cut through her delicate white hand, and bright red blood gushed out.
The Scythe of Eternal Silence tasted fresh blood, and suddenly the light flashed, and an extremely strong light wave instantly enveloped the hall, and silver points of light filled it, and the runes on the pillars and the exquisite patterns on the ground were ignited, exuding a shining divine light.
In this brightly lit hall, fluorescent lights fly and sigils shine, making it as beautiful as a midsummer night.
At the same time, on the periphery of the temple, a beam of light shot straight into the sky, and the strong pressure caused the surrounding rubble to fly, and the whole city trembled.
Lu Yi finally touched the stone, staggered all the way, and was suddenly rushed into the distance, hit a raised stone heavily, and fell unconscious.
Chiba Shinozakura kneels in front of the Scythe of Eternal Silence, which greedily sucks the blood from the girl's body.
Chiba Sakura couldn't let go, the scythe had already attached her hand to it.
"Hmm... Scold... Uh..."
She was in great pain, her blood being drained by the scythe, and the veins in her body were withering.
The most terrifying thing is that the powerful pain did not make her unconscious, and she maintained an extremely conscious consciousness in the midst of the pain.
Her pain level was constantly being refreshed, and it could be said that there was enough time to regret it, but during this time, she only moaned, but never thought about regretting anything.
"Xiao Yi... Xiao Yi..."
She cried and shouted her lover's name, but his lover fell outside the hall, and her subtle cry could not be heard.
"It hurts... It hurts..."
"Ahh
"Xiao Yi..."
She kept muttering the name in her mouth, and finally the blood was drained, turned into a dry corpse, and knelt in front of the giant scythe.
She never thought that the price of the giant scythe would be her life.
She was still too innocent to have any concept of fetishes.
After absorbing Chiba Shinosakura's blood, the scythe shone a lot, and the sigils in the main hall were shining, fluorescent and flying, and it was very gorgeous in the dark environment.
"Xiao Yi... It hurts..."
"Xiao Yi... Help me!"
......
Moans like these surged in Lu Yi's mind, and in Lu Yi's unconscious state, his body twitched, his fingers moved, and he grabbed a handful of lime on the ground.
Lu Yi opened his eyes weakly, and the clear voice shouted in Lu Yi's ears, hurting in his heart.
He forced himself to stand up and go to the temple.
He vaguely felt that Chiba Sakura was inside.
This premonition frightened him, and he thought of the scene in the illusion countless times.
"Sakura... Don't go..."
Lu Yi struggled, holding on to the stone and walked over step by step.
Walking to the bottom of the temple, it was thousands of steps, even if you were a strong young person, you would feel your limbs weak when you climbed it.
There is no stone statue here that can be used as a handrail for Lu Yi, Lu Yi's legs were weak, he fell to the ground, his face slammed on the steps, and his face was torn apart.
"Sakura... No... Go..."
He muttered in his mouth, rubbing step by step, rubbing slowly, like an insect, with his only remaining hand, and the legs and feet that no longer had any strength.
Lu Yi's knee had just been bandaged, the medical cotton cloth had been rubbed off, and the dripping flesh and blood were exposed, and the flesh and blood rubbed against the stone platform, ragged like a rag.
Rubbing through the flesh and blood, Sensen's white bones are faintly visible.
Relying on bone and flesh, Lu Yi rubbed all the way, very slowly, very slowly, slower and slower.
Eventually fell unconscious on a flight of steps.
"Xiao Yi..."
The voice in his ears sounded again, and Lu Yi unconsciously began to squirm, everything was very mechanical and rigid.
Kronos's divine power suppressed Lu Yi, and even if he came here with a complete victory, it would be difficult for him to ascend to the temple.
"Can't... Abandon... Sakura..."
"Climb a little more..."
"It's almost there..."
"There's still a little way to go..."
"A little bit..."
"We're near the end..."
"Some more..."
Lu Yi vomited blood in his mouth, the flesh and blood had been rubbed off, and the place where he kneeled was like a white bone rubbing.
He always comforted himself with this, but he couldn't really look up to see how far it was.
Everything is a prepared lie, he is lying to himself.
I don't know how long it took, but the river of time came to a standstill at this time, and time flowed very slowly here.
Lu Yi crawled... Crawl... Like a caterpillar...
Eventually, his head hit a wall, and his eyes slowly popped away.
It was an invisible wall of air, blocking Lu Yi from the outside, and Chiba Sakura knelt inside.
He opened his eyes and saw Chiba Sakura.
In a haze, he saw the familiar scene, the girl kneeling in front of the giant scythe.
"Sakura..."
Lu Yi's dry lips moved, and his only remaining hand picked at the wall of air, which prevented him from entering.
"Let me... Get in!"
"Let me in!"
Lu Yi didn't know where to come out of nowhere, and punched the air wall, and the air wall just fluctuated slightly.
There is no sign of breakage.
"Let me in! go in! go in!!"
Lu Yi was extremely angry, and banged on the air wall desperately, this air wall was so solid that Lu Yi couldn't go beyond it.
"Why... We've managed to get this far!"
Lu Yi cried loudly, the cry echoed outside the temple, the stone statues were scattered on the ground, silent, and the inside and outside of the hall were very quiet.
"Hey, the seal of the God King is very difficult to break with your personal understanding!"
The voice in Lu Yi's head reappeared.
