Chapter 1922 - Huo Ling’er
Huo Ling’er!
After ten thousand years passed, they met under this type of situation. Time didn’t leave any traces on her body, she was still beautiful, to the extent where she became even more cold and elegant.
Was this still the Huo Ling’er he knew? Her temperament was completely different.
In the past, in the Fire Mulberry Tree Forest, she was graceful and quiet, her eyes clear like water, each day returning after picking mulberry leaves. Multicolored radiance scattered about, this place was cut off from the rest of the world, almost a life withdrawn from worldly affairs.
Now, there was a black demonic imprint on her sparkling white forehead, displaying a type of sinister appearance. Her gaze was piercing, extremely cold and arrogant, carrying a type of world overlooking domineering aura.
She rode on the divine wolf’s back, as if a heavenly goddess descended into this world, yet there was a type of demonic nature. She looked down on the world, cold, arrogant and imposing, her presence making many people feel like they were suffocating.
“You… are you still you?” Shi Hao’s voice was hoarse.
Huo Ling’er’s pupils were deep, her entire figure carrying a wave of intimidating aura, having a type of female warrior feeling. She looked over with a cold and deep expression, the area around her was terrifying.
Bird cries sounded one after another there, accompanied by raging black flames. There were True Phoenixes that spread their wings and Vermilion Birds who moved about, all of these flame dao symbols. Black radiance swirled about, the scene moving.
“I am myself!” Huo Ling’er replied, her slender figure tall and straight, fine features powerful. Her snow-white face swirled with sparkling color, just that it carried a bit of viciousness.
She wore a long black dress that fluttered with the wind. She was upright and unafraid, as if she was the powerful queen of a clan, looking down on all under the sky. She really was completely different from before.
This type of temperament, this type of bearing, it was as different as different could be!
In the surroundings, those creatures from the other side were originally wild and untamed, but now, they lowered their heads before her, extremely respectful.
Shi Hao’s heart turned sore. It really wasn’t her anymore. After being separated by ten thousand years, it was unknown just how many generations replaced each other in the secular world.
Even for cultivators, thirteen thousand years was a long amount of time.
At the very least, in the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, there weren’t many who could live past ten thousand years. With the descent of the Cultivationless Age, there weren’t many creatures left from Shi Hao’s generation.
“It was me who let you down!” Shi Hao’s voice was hoarse. He forcefully controlled his emotions, not letting himself erupt.
The past separation in Sin Province was actually eternal!
Fire Mulberry Tree Forest, that was a place that carried a piece of his heart, a piece of a beautiful memory. However, when he turned around again, it instead stabbed him deeply.
In the past, he left thinking that he could redeem himself gloriously. Who would have thought that this was an eternal separation, forever unable to meet again?
At this time, flower petals fluttered about above, a clear fragrance scattering down. It was as brilliant as sunset radiance. When the Fire Mulberry Flowers blossomed, he really saw her again, but it was only her body, who did the soul belong to?
They previously promised that he would pick her up from the Fire Mulberry Forest, that they would reunite again, yet in the end, all of this became nothing. He only saw her figure, not her soul.
Ah…
Shi Hao raised his head, releasing a great roar. Crazy winds immediately erupted here, symbols interweaving densely, forming a terrifying domain.
Pu pu pu…
Up ahead by the passage, many creatures from the other side exploded. Right now, when this roar of grief sounded, blasts of bloody mist exploded one after another.
In the back, Mu Qing, the crimson dragon, and others were all shaken. After Shi Hao achieved the dao, he rarely lost himself like his, yet now, he went mad.
Huo Ling’er waved her hand, black flames covering the skies. The demonic imprint between her brows even more so flickered, restraining the voice, protecting some foreign creatures within.
“Do you really not recognize me?” Shi Hao walked forward, his voice sunken.
He long made mental preparations, but when things really did turn out like this, he still found it a bit hard to accept. More than ten thousand years passed, why did that beautiful girl no longer exist?
Where did he have to look to find her?
Needless to say, ever since Shi Hao saw that giant wolf, he already had his suspicions. It had already been corroded by darkness matter, completely falling into depravity.
When he saw Huo Ling’er just now, his heart felt a wave of pain. He sensed the darkness aura, realizing that she was an ultra evolved darkness being.
The other side had undying matter just like Immortal Domain. If Huo Linger was still alive, there was no need to worry about her lifespan.
However, this wasn’t what Shi Hao was most scared of!
Now, he saw that her body didn’t die, at the very least, her body was the same, but was it still the same person? It wasn’t!
The worst thing happened. She was corroded by darkness matter, completely becoming another person.
Shi Hao already knew a long time ago that the other side and the darkness world had a close relationship, even that unmatched expert Shutuo was an ultra evolved darkness being, a powerful existence who rose up after crossing the darkness.
Now, Huo Ling’er actually also stepped on this path!
She was, without a doubt, an ultra evolved darkness being. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to have such astonishing cultivation within such a short amount of time, becoming comparable to undying beings.
In the past, when the three thousand provinces first erupted into an age of darkness and chaos, Shi Hao personally saw many creatures evolve into darkness supreme beings in just a few decades of time.
Just how shocking was this speed? It was simply impossible to measure with normal reasoning!
Now, after ten thousand years passed, for Huo Ling’er to have undying level strength after undergoing darkness evolution, this wasn’t something too strange.
“Do you even know who you are?!” Shi Hao shouted.
“I am the Flame Phoenix of Darkness. You are Huang I presume?” Huo Ling’er was incredibly cold, as if this was the first time she met Huang, carefully sizing him up right now.
Shi Hao confirmed that she was completely corrupted by darkness matter, already not her original self. He felt resentment and grief. The past kind girl, Fire Clan’s princess actually fell to this extent.
He couldn’t accept this, he wanted to change everything.
“Do you have any impressions, do you still remember me?” Shi Hao continued to ask.
“You truly are laughable. What human clan heaven’s pride? Nothing more than this. This is the first time I’ve stepped foot in this world, just the first time we met, yet you ask so many strange things for no reason!” Black flames jumped around Huo Ling’er’s surroundings, wrapping around her.
“However, it is rather peculiar, you do seem somewhat familiar.” She said quietly, as if thinking to herself, an expression of confusion appearing on her face.
These words, even though they were quiet, when they landed in Shi Hao’s ears, it was like lightning, leaving him shocked. Was there still hope?
He clenched his fists. He definitely couldn’t give up. No matter what, he had to do everything he could to make Huo Ling’er recover. He was going to reverse the darkness corrosion!
Even though he had never heard of anyone succeeding, he firmly believed that there was definitely a way!
Hong!
Immediately afterwards, Shi Hao took action. In order to help Huo Ling’er, he had to first capture her, make her stay at his side, and only then would there be a chance of rescuing her.
Heng!
Huo Ling’er released a cold shout, not holding back at all. Black flames burned the heavens, strong darkness matter was surging frantically, corroding Shi Hao.
”Become my subordinate, follow me at my side!” Huo Ling’er spoke in the darkness, her gaze deep and cold.
Once one was corroded by darkness matter, then there really was a chance of turning into a darkness creature, becoming her vassal, her servant.
Hong!
However, even if these flames were special, even if the current Huo Ling’er was extremely powerful, becoming an undying being, there was still no way she was Shi Hao’s match.
Shi Hao formed a fist imprint, blasting aside the fiery light, turning into a streak of divine rainbow, quickly closing in. He reached out a large hand, about to grab forward.
Ao…
The giant black wolf released a great roar, bringing Huo Ling’er back, entering that passage.
Shi Hao couldn’t hold himself back anymore. He closed in with extreme speed, rushing into that passage.
“Master!” The crimson dragon shouted.
Mu Qing and Zhu Lin were also worried. This was too dangerous! Shi Hao was going to slaughter his way into the other side?
Shi Hao truly was panicking. He wanted to intercept Huo Ling’er, keep her at his side, find a way to reverse her darkness body and make her recover her mind.
Even though hope was fleeting, it was still better than just watching her continue on like this.
“Kill!”
There were many foreign cultivators inside this passage, but it was difficult for them to stop his fist. Following this fist, flesh exploded in all directions, blood splashing everywhere.
Along the way, Shi Hao killed experts from all clans, unstoppable, even killing an undying being.
The front and back were connected, they were already about to reach the other side’s entrance.
Hong!
Right at this time, a terrifying great claw reached out, striking towards Shi Hao. It was cold and ruthless, wishing to end him here.
Pu!
The void collapsed, space fading from existence. This passage broke apart inch by inch, directly collapsing. This type of power was too terrifying, the passage unable to support that existence’s true body.
This was, without a doubt, a half undying king, his strength horrifying.
Shi Hao’s eyes were cold and deep, inwardly feeling bitter. He quickly withdrew, appearing behind him were Kun Peng Wings, divine phoenix wings and lightning, speed exceeding the limit!
“This was prepared specially to deal with me.” He released a light sigh.
If not for his speed exceeding imagination, he would have most likely suffered a disaster!
There was an unmatched being waiting for him in the passage, ready to deliver him a killing blow!
Even though Shi Hao was shaken up, he didn’t lose his calm mindset. The more it reached this type of critical juncture, the more he was able to control himself.
After chasing into the passage, even though the distance between Huo Ling’er and himself was shortened, he still didn’t catch up to her. This wasn’t normal.
One had to understand that he had the most extreme speed under the heavens, normal undying beings couldn’t escape his pursuit. This was clearly strange, signifying that there were other dangers.
That was why Shi Hao was always on guard. His divine senses were powerful to an inconceivable degree, sensing that a disaster was descending. He immediately reacted, quickly withdrawing backwards.
When Shi Hao rushed out, the passage behind him collapsed, breaking apart. Then, the great earth sunk, rubble rushing into the heavens, completely destroyed.
They would have to pay a tremendous price if this passage was to be used again.
That great hand couldn’t cross over, stopped in the passage.
After coming back, Shi Hao remained silent for an extremely long time. He was inwardly anxious, but also furious.
It was clear that this was done purposely by the other side. They knew the relationship between Huo Ling’er and himself. This was to deceive him into crossing over, and then take his life!
Shi Hao was wondering if the reason why Huo Ling’er became an ultra evolved darkness being was related to him. The other party purposely chose her, to have her quickly evolve.
“Unforgivable!” He released a low roar.
After this battle ended, even the ghost immortals felt fear towards him, because they sensed heaven overflowing killing intent from his body, always remaining a respectful distance away.
Shi Hao returned, starting to cultivate in seclusion. He wanted to break through, to become even stronger, to slaughter his way into the other side. When he saw Huo Ling’er in that state, he felt as if a knife was twisted in his heart. He couldn’t forgive this.
In the past, for the sake of waiting for him, because of that promise, Huo Ling’er remained alone in the Fire Mulberry Forest, always waiting for his return. However, in the end, she encountered disaster.
Shi Hao entered a mad state, attacking at an even higher cultivation level. He entered the depths of the cosmos alone, vowing that he won’t come back out until he achieved immortality!
