122: Chapter 122 Farewell

As soon as these words were spoken, the heavens and earth shook, and endless divine light suddenly bloomed in the sky, like a miracle.

In the next second, amidst the endless divine light, a throne slowly appeared, and behind the throne, there were 26 divine rings!

Before anyone present could react, W trembled all over, inexplicably terrified, and knelt down directly, shouting, "Greetings, Your Majesty the Divine King, greetings, 26-Character Army Lord!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingzhu and Tian Yingying looked at W in horror, both showing confusion on their faces.

Chan Yiming's expression changed drastically, becoming extremely tense in an instant, and he exclaimed, "Lord of the Divine City? The 26-Character Army?"

Although he had never been to Sky City, he knew that only the Lord of Sky City would dare to be crowned as the Divine King!

Following his exclamation, a tall figure slowly condensed upon the massive golden throne.

This figure resembled a colossal divine statue, clad in golden divine armor and wearing a sacred crown. Behind him, eight pairs of pure white wings were fully extended, each pair several meters long. A massive divine ring rotated automatically behind his head, emitting myriad rays of rosy light.

Behind him, the 26 divine rings were like stars in the heavens, with a figure guarding each one. Each person was clad in golden armor, holding a burning divine sword, with divine power surging endlessly, exerting immense pressure on everyone.

Even from such a great distance, Ye Qingzhu and Tian Yingying below felt the terrifying pressure!

"Offer up the heart of the immortal, and I can grant you one request, any request at all!"

That deep voice, filled with endless pressure, rang out once more, shaking the surroundings and oppressing the hearts of all!

"Go to hell! If you want the heart of the immortal, come down and take it yourself if you have the ability!"

The old man cursed directly! Even though the opponent was the Lord of the Divine City, he was not afraid in the slightest!

Their lineage had been at odds with the God Race since birth. Historically, they were mortal enemies.

Yuan Tiangang guarded the Human Realm for three thousand years and clashed with the God Race for three thousand years. They had engaged in countless overt and covert battles, over ten thousand times, and in the end, he fell during the battle for the immortal body.

His master was the same; in order to protect the peace of the human race, he did not hesitate to storm the Divine City, and his whereabouts remain unknown to this day.

The heart of the immortal was something his grandmaster had fought for with his life; he would rather die than hand it over.

"Audacious!" As the old man scolded the Lord of the Divine City, the commanders of the 26-Character Army behind the Lord shouted in angry rebuke.

In the next second, behind the commanders of the 26-Character Army, billions of divine soldiers and generals suddenly appeared. Each divine soldier and general was clad in golden armor, holding a burning greatsword, and erupting with infinite fighting spirit.

The entire sky seemed to have been occupied by them. The vast army of the God Race surrounded the heavens, as if they would descend at any moment to wash the human world in blood.

At this moment, the people of the entire Rainbow City were terrified. That was the God Race; many people had never seen them in their entire lives.

To see them now, with the army of the God Race pressing down upon them, carrying an unparalleled aura of destruction, was truly terrifying.

Countless mortals wailed, embracing their families and weeping, their eyes filled with despair, as if the end of the world had arrived.

It was at this moment that thirty-six brilliant rays of divine light suddenly burst forth from the Human Realm, each one shooting straight into the sky.

In the next second, a phantom of a human appeared within each of the thirty-six rays of divine light.

"Lord of the Divine City, are you intending to go to war with the human race?"

Within the thirty-six brilliant rays of light, an old man with short hair wearing a military uniform stared coldly into the void. In the next second, rolling black death energy burst from his body, covering the sky and earth, with wails shaking the heavens.

All the death energy eventually condensed into a giant black skull, a hundred meters tall. The old man with short hair in the military uniform stood atop the skull and smiled coldly.

"If you want to fight, then let's fight! The human race has no fear!"

The endless pressure released by the thirty-six demigods was not something even the Lord of the Divine City dared to underestimate.

On the throne, the massive figure chuckled, then said indifferently, "Luo Yan, do not be nervous. I merely wish to make a deal with you."

"Give me the heart of the immortal, and I can grant your human race one request, any request at all!"

The short-haired old man named Luo Yan sneered and replied, "Any request, is it? Even if I ask you to behead the Twelve Heavenly Gods and slaughter the Demon Race, is that acceptable?"

Luo Yan had intended to tease the Lord of the Divine City, but unexpectedly, the massive figure on the throne stood up abruptly and replied gloomily, "If that is your condition, then I... agree!"

At this, Luo Yan's expression also changed. He swept a cold glance at the Lord of the Divine City, then looked towards Green Fox Mountain, his eyes shifting uncertainly!

He had not expected that the Lord of the Divine City would actually agree to the absurd condition he had casually proposed.

This could only mean one thing: the heart of the immortal was extremely important.

The premise was that this Lord of the Divine City would actually fulfill the agreement!

Seeing that Luo Yan remained silent, the Lord of the Divine City immediately pressed, "Luo Yan, can you make the decision on this?"

Luo Yan immediately shook his head and replied, "No!"

The Lord of the Divine City immediately sighed with regret, "I guessed as much!"

Subsequently, he turned to look at Green Fox Mountain and said again, "Descendant of Yuan Tiangang, offer up the heart of the immortal, and I will return a person to you!"

As he spoke, a projection of a person slowly appeared high in the sky.

It was a desolate old man whose limbs were imprisoned. The old man looked extremely miserable, covered in blood, with disheveled hair. His shoulder blades and collarbones were all pierced through and hung with iron hooks.

With the appearance of the old man's phantom, all thirty-six human demigods were moved.

"Yuan Qitian!" Someone exclaimed his name!

"He is actually still alive!"

On Green Fox Mountain, when Chan Yiming saw the projection in the void, his eyes instantly turned blood-red, and he roared, "Master!"

Lu Yuan, who was in the process of transferring the heart of the immortal to Ling Yichen, was also shaken, roaring "Master" before coughing violently.

In the next second, a mouthful of blood sprayed from his mouth, instantly turning into a blood arrow that shot towards Ling Yichen's face!

A blood arrow from a demigod, even if unintentional, was enough to cause severe injury to Ling Yichen. Moreover, Ling Yichen was in such a critical situation; the slightest mistake would cost him his life.

It was at this critical juncture that a blood-red ribbon suddenly appeared, placing itself directly in front of Ling Yichen and blocking the blood arrow completely.

Everyone followed the source of the blood-red ribbon and saw a stunningly beautiful woman standing proudly in the void.

The woman wore a blood-red gauze dress, her figure was enchanting, her beautiful hair hung down like wild willows, and a red ribbon was wrapped around her eyes, making her extremely eye-catching.

"Senior Sister Red Cherry!" Chan Yiming called out in surprise.

Lu Yuan also looked to the side, his aged eyes filled with complex emotions—joy, excitement, and admiration that had accumulated for countless years.

He only let out a hoarse cry, "Senior Sister!"

Upon hearing this, Red Cherry did not answer, but simply stood quietly in the void, slightly raising her head, seemingly gazing at the projection in the void.

After a long time, she spoke gloomily, "Focus on your task!"

Her tone was devoid of sorrow or joy, as if she were a puppet without emotions.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan and Chan Yiming immediately restrained their emotions; one focused on protecting the Dharma, and the other focused on transferring the heart!

At this moment, time seemed to have frozen. In the heavens and on earth, no one spoke again.

The Lord of the Divine City seemed to have known the answer; he sighed once more and then sat back down on his throne.

Subsequently, his figure slowly faded and finally dissipated completely, along with the throne.

Once he left, the 26 divine rings behind him also vanished, and the billions of divine soldiers and generals disappeared along with them.

High in the sky, it was as if nothing had ever appeared; everything was like a dream. Only that immortal eye, filled with anger, unwillingness, and tyranny, was still struggling against the purple ring, seeming to have gained the upper hand.

At this time, the thirty-six rays of divine light also slowly faded and eventually dissipated. Everything returned to calm.

It was not until Ling Yichen let out a low roar that everyone focused their attention on him.

At this moment, the golden heart was already pressed against his chest, drilling into his chest bit by bit, inch by inch.

After about a minute, the golden heart finally entered his chest completely.

Ling Yichen trembled all over, his body illuminated by the golden light as if he were a lantern.

At this moment, everyone could see inside his body.

The five internal organs were like five pieces of jade, emitting five-colored divine light. The divine light echoed each other, surging endlessly, forming a magical array.

The golden heart seemed to be under some kind of pull, moving on its own towards the magical array.

Just as everyone thought everything was going smoothly and all was well, a sudden change occurred.

The golden heart suddenly seemed to have been stimulated by something; it began to tremble violently and moved outwards bit by bit, as if trying to escape the magical array.

However, a bizarre scene occurred: Ling Yichen's five internal organs instantly transformed into millions of Spirit Worms, led by the King Insect of the main array, which took the initiative to pounce on the heart.

When this scene appeared, everyone's expression changed, and even Ling Yichen himself was stunned.

He could clearly perceive that these Spirit Worms were like madmen, having an extreme desire for the heart, longing to devour it!

What shocked him even more was that he actually felt a fluctuation of consciousness from this golden heart.

It seemed to be very afraid of these Spirit Worms! No... not afraid, but terrified!

It had a deep terror of these Spirit Worms. Therefore, it instantly escaped from Ling Yichen's body and floated in front of Ling Yichen, like a small creature with nowhere to run.

It was at this moment that a taiji diagram, the size of a fist, suddenly bloomed from between Ling Yichen's eyebrows.

The taiji diagram rotated slowly, and wisps of Immortal Spirit Qi overflowed from it.

The golden heart instantly seemed to have found a way out and charged directly towards the taiji diagram.

When the golden heart touched the taiji diagram, both the taiji diagram and the golden heart disappeared.

Ling Yichen only felt his brain heat up, and he instantly perceived that an object had appeared in his spiritual sea of consciousness; it was the golden heart.

As soon as the golden heart entered the spiritual sea of consciousness, it immediately headed towards the Lesser Immortal Realm, entered it without any obstruction, and landed with absolute precision in the immortal blood pool, settling down completely.

Feeling all this, Ling Yichen let out a long breath, looked up at Lu Yuan, and said, "Phew, although it's not what I expected, it has already stabilized in my spiritual sea of consciousness."

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked in surprise, "spiritual sea of consciousness? It's in your spiritual sea of consciousness? Can your spiritual sea of consciousness withstand it?"

Subsequently, Lu Yuan felt his own question was silly; the answer was obvious. They had seen with their own eyes the heart of the immortal enter Ling Yichen's forehead, and Ling Yichen was currently unharmed—this already explained everything!

"You really are a monster. What kind of spiritual sea of consciousness can withstand the heart of an immortal!"

Lu Yuan also began to call Ling Yichen a monster. He continued, "However, I actually should have thought of this long ago. Back then, that Lesser Immortal Realm also entered your spiritual sea of consciousness on its own. At that time, I should have realized that your spiritual sea of consciousness was extraordinary."

"Being able to withstand a small world filled with Immortal Spirit Qi, naturally, it can also withstand the heart of an immortal!"

"Perhaps, you really are that chosen one!"

Ling Yichen chuckled. Although he felt what Lu Yuan said was very mysterious, he was very happy to accept this result.

The heart of the immortal entering his spiritual sea of consciousness did not cause him any burden; this was the best result, as he would be able to contemplate it anytime, anywhere.

He could see that Lu Yuan had to pay a significant price when bearing this heart of the immortal.

In contrast, he himself had no discomfort at all; this was the best!

"Senior Uncle, are you okay?" Ling Yichen asked with concern.

Lu Yuan nodded gently, then revealed a joyful smile.

"From today on, I have finally laid down this burden and can go do my own things."

Then, he looked up at Red Cherry in the distance, with strong emotions surging deep in his eyes.

He rose quietly, then took a step out, walking directly through the air, and walked in front of Red Cherry.

"Senior Sister, I'm sorry, this day has come a little late!"

Red Cherry turned her head gloomily, gazing at him through the red ribbon, and then said indifferently, "No matter, coming late is better than not coming at all!"

As she spoke, she took the initiative to reach out her hand to hold Lu Yuan's hand.

Lu Yuan's eyes turned red, tears appeared, and he gripped Red Cherry's hand tightly.

As their hands clasped together, strange colors bloomed from Lu Yuan's body. His aged figure instantly transformed into an arrogant and handsome middle-aged man, perfectly matching Red Cherry.

"Senior Brother, Senior Sister!" Chan Yiming on Green Fox Mountain also had teary eyes, as if he were seeing a pair of lovers from a long time ago.

Afterwards, strange colors also bloomed from his body, and he instantly transformed into an exceptionally handsome young man!

"Senior Brother, Senior Sister, you cannot leave me behind!" Chan Yiming spoke with a pleading tone, instantly turning into a little crybaby.

Lu Yuan and Red Cherry heard this and turned back together. Although both had clear tears on their faces, their faces were overflowing with sweet smiles.

"Little Junior Brother, how could we leave you behind? No matter where we go, we will take you with us!"

As she spoke, Red Cherry lightly shook her wrist, and a section of red ribbon flew out from her wrist, turning into a bridge of cloth that connected to in front of Chan Yiming.

Seeing this, Chan Yiming was immediately full of joy, happily wanting to step onto the cloth bridge.

However, just as he lifted his foot, he quietly turned back, looked at Ling Yichen, and said, "Silly boy, although I was your master for only a while and taught you very limited things, I am happy to have been your master. Practice well in the future, and if you can, take care of your senior brother a little!"

Ling Yichen could hear that he was saying goodbye! He also understood what he was about to do.

"Hmm, Master, you can go with peace of mind; don't worry about me and Senior Brother!" Ling Yichen originally intended to comfort the old man—oh no, he was no longer an old man, but a handsome uncle.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words were spoken, they seemed to have a bit of ambiguity.

Chan Yiming glared, the familiar expression appearing on his face, and he cursed softly, "Stinky brat, why does it feel like you are cursing me to die!"

As he spoke, he ignored Ling Yichen and ran towards Lu Yuan and Red Cherry with large strides. While running, he shouted, "If you encounter a life-and-death crisis, you can go find the two seniors in the attic; they are my master's old friends, and they will help you!"

After finishing, he had already arrived at the side of Lu Yuan and Red Cherry.

The three of them shouted together, "Master, we have come to find you!"

After speaking, the three turned into a beam of red light and rushed towards the tall tower in the very center of Rainbow City that connected the heavens and the earth!

Swish~ The moment they entered the tower, the red light, like a fired salute, shot directly from the first floor to the very top floor, and finally disappeared!
