Chapter 1127 - Another Heart

The lives of all beings in this world shared the same destiny through the Omnisentient Threads. At this moment, hundreds of millions of people and lifebound beasts looked up to the sky and witnessed the moon’s gradual expansion. When it reached one meter in diameter, the distance between the Divine Moon Realm and the Flameyellow Continent had been shortened by half. By the time it actually reached the top of the Flameyellow Continent, the moon would swallow the entire sky. At that time, those in the Flamyellow Continent would be able to catch a glimpse of the cities in the Divine Moon Realm. This was a scene no one had ever dared imagine throughout all of the Flameyellow Continent’s history.

"The moon will keep getting bigger and bigger. The Divine Moon Realm’s gravitational pull itself is massive. Perhaps all living creatures in this world will be ripped apart before the two worlds crash. Bodhi is so ruthless he’ll definitely remove the astralguard formation right before impact so the two worlds collide!"

Although they had experienced a lot, everyone looked lost in the face of the falling moon. They stared blankly, their brains stuttering, bodies completely cold as if they were disconnected from their souls. The Flameyellow Continent had only just recovered from a calamity when they were confronted with an inevitable catastrophe.

"How cruel...." Tears of grief uncontrollably flowed.

"Let’s go!" The Archaionfiend was terrified. Knowing how stubborn Lin Xiaoxiao was, it was afraid she wouldn’t leave.

"This is my home. Where can I go?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked, her eyes red.

"You can lose your home, but you must live!" The Archaionfiend crumbled.

"You can go. Goodbye, you’re free," said Lin Xiaoxiao.

The Archaionfiend was filled with tearless dismay. Without Lin Xiaoxiao, their symbiotic cultivation setup would collapse and it wouldn’t end well.

"Xiaoxiao, don't let it go.” Tianming interjected. As the Human Emperor, he was humanity’s pillar of support. The moment this disaster of global proportions struck, all those present, as well as all sentient beings on the continent, had pinned their hopes on him.

"What gives you the right to restrain me and force me to my death!" The Archaionfiend wanted to flee but Tianming’s words had trapped it here. It was outraged.

Staring at Tianming, it said, "You want to run, don’t you? But you’re the emperor, so you can't drop all pretenses. Then die with the two worlds, but don’t drag Xiaoxiao along with you. She doesn’t owe you anything."

As they spoke, the moon continued expanding in the sky.

"You can fly up and see if you can stop the moon from falling. Do you really think you’re so capable you can do anything? Can you hold on?" The Archaionfiend gritted its teeth.

"Shut up." Lin Xiaoxiao stood in its way and stopped it from going mad. In fact, the Archaionfiend’s words had had a great impact on Tianming.

In the face of a crisis like this and a man such as Bodhi, holding on was indeed a challenge. However, Tianming's heart remained calm. He didn’t leave for the Divine Moon Realm; as the Archaionfiend said, there was no time. Therefore, he tried to maintain composure and immersed himself in communication with Feiling.

"A catastrophe is approaching. If even I lose my calm, we’re really doomed." He allowed the Archaionfiend to howl as it pleased.

"Ling'er, can you hear me? You must be able to hear me. I need you now!" Tianming turned to Feiling, who had turned into a flower after returning from the mooncore. When he caressed its petals and spoke to her, he could feel her respond. It felt like their hands were clasped together. Now that disaster was imminent, he called out to her.

"Ling'er, if you can hear me, unleash the Latticeheart Curse upon Little You at once! As soon as possible! You must hurry! Show no mercy!”

The royal clan of the specter race had two hearts. In order to avoid something like this from happening, Tianming had Feiling leave a Latticeheart Curse on one heart. Guarding against Bodhi was an instinct. However, life was unpredictable. Who would have thought Feiling would turn into a flower? Could she hear him? Could she still unleash the Latticeheart Curse? All of this was uncertain. If the Latticeheart Curse worked, the effect would be superior to the Imperial Sword Prison. The Imperial Sword Prison killed, but the Latticeheart Curse could cause pain and suffering, a more powerful threat.

“Ling’er!”

As they watched the motionless Tianming, the others assumed he had lost the courage to fight. But what they didn't know was that the light blue flower on Xian Xian trembled at the sound of his voice.

Tianming caught a glimpse of her face among the flower petals, a sign that she wasn’t really unconscious. While she was undergoing nirvana, she knew everything that was happening outside. Could she transform? Tianming couldn't tell if the Latticeheart Curse was in effect. However, he believed Bodhi would reveal a change if Little You was subjected to a pain worse than death.

"His daughter is more important than his life. I hope Little You’s life will make him cherish the lives of trillions. He isn’t the only one that has feelings and loved ones—we all do!"

That had always been Bodhi’s weakness. If it weren't for the grave sin he committed today, Tianming wouldn’t have inflicted such cruelty upon a little girl.

Feiling finally responded. Now, to see if the curse worked, Tianming looked up, eyes wide as he stared at the falling moon. One second, two seconds, then three seconds passed.

"It seems to have stopped moving. It doesn’t look any bigger.”

"Yes, it seems to have stopped."

“What’s happening?”

More and more people observed the changes in the moon; its descent had halted.

“We’re saved? Bodhi found his conscience?”

"That’s unlikely. Maybe he’s teasing us or taking a break. This may be a chance for Tianming to look for him on the moon."

They turned to Tianming. There was no doubt the Latticeheart Curse had succeeded. The flower continued trembling within his lifebound space. Tianming didn't know how long Feiling could last in this state. Therefore, he must go to Bodhi at once, threaten the man in person, and prevent him from executing his crime.

"Xiaoxiao, take Wu You and go up with me," said Tianming.

“Alright.” She nodded.

The Archaionfiend was dumbfounded. "This is impossible. The moon’s descent has already begun. Why did he stop? He discovered his conscience?"

"That’s enough," Lin Xiaoxiao said.

"Fine, I’ll take the risk with you since the situation’s taken a turn for the better."

If Tianming failed, there were no other gods present except for Lin Xiaoxiao. No one could escape in such a short time. After entrusting the Soulfiend with taking Ye Lingfeng away to a safe distance, Tianming and Lin Xiaoxiao ascended into the sky on Meow Meow’s back, charging toward the Divine Moon Realm at lightning speed as the wind rushed past their ears.

In his lifebound space, the Latticeheart Curse was still in use. The seed buried in Little You's body had taken root and was sprouting. However, Tianming didn’t know the extent of Bodhi’s madness. Would he be as frantic as Sovereign Xi, who willingly gave up the imperial guide?

"He carries two hundred millennia of the specter race’s resentment. Will he kill Little You if she becomes an obstacle?"
