119: Chapter 119 A Strange Red Light, the Path to Godhood Severed!

"It's about to succeed!"

Yan Ruyu watched the increasingly vibrant Divine Fire, her excitement evident on her face; her fists were clenched tightly, and her delicate body trembled with excitement.

Could their Feixian Sect really produce another powerful Heavenly God?!

Lin Ran gazed intently at that Divine Fire, but suddenly, he felt an inexplicable palpitation.

This feeling was as if some terrifying entity was watching them from afar, monitoring them!

"Lin... Lin Ran, that... that..."

Meng Qing's gaze suddenly froze in one direction, her expression filled with extreme terror; she gripped Lin Ran's arm tightly, her nails digging deep into his flesh.

Lin Ran looked in the direction of her gaze, and his pupils constricted sharply.

It wasn't just them; almost every living being in the Zhangming Emperor Realm noticed this scene.

The sky of the Zhangming Emperor Realm suddenly split open with two fissures.

These fissures grew larger and larger, slowly opening, until they finally manifested into two eyeballs!

What terrifying eyes those were; it felt as if a single glance could make one kneel in submission, unable to even muster the will to resist!

These were the eyes of a Heavenly God, radiating brilliant golden light and emitting a terrifying, supreme Aura.

"What... what kind of entity is that?!"

Meng Qing swallowed in terror, realizing that even her Divine Soul was trembling.

She could clearly feel that the gaze of those eyes was locked onto them!

To be precise, it was locked onto Xia Lingshuang's Divine Fire!

Above those two eyes, another vertical fissure appeared and slowly opened.

It was also an eye, a vertical pupil!

However, unlike the two eyes below it, this vertical pupil was scarlet red, filled with an eerie Aura that gave one a sense of dread as if the world were being destroyed.

"Swish!"

As the vertical pupil opened and closed, a demonic red light erupted, flashing past in an attempt to envelop the entire Zhangming Emperor Realm.

"Presumptuous!!!"

"How dare you!!!"

Within the Zhangming Emperor Realm, ancient entities instantly awakened, all striking at the same time in an attempt to block the arrival of the eerie red light.

After all, this red light was not targeting just one person, but everyone in the Zhangming Emperor Realm.

How can an egg remain unbroken when the nest is overturned?

Everyone understood this principle; right now, this eerie red light brought a great crisis.

Not many people were engaging in petty schemes at a time like this; everyone hoped to block the arrival of this eerie red light.

Various visions manifested, with magnificent and grand Auras, surging with power.

However, the red light seemed ethereal, passing straight through those Divine Abilities and Origin Divine Abilities, accurately enveloping the entire Zhangming Emperor Realm without a single living being able to escape.

Shenyu Mountain, Qingyu Pavilion.

In mid-air, Xia Lingshuang's Divine Fire, which was about to reach its peak, suddenly extinguished without a trace.

Everyone could clearly hear a low, muffled groan.

"My Divine Fire... has also been extinguished!"

Yan Ruyu could clearly feel that her own Divine Fire, which had not yet been ignited, had also vanished without a trace.

"Mine too!!"

Meng Qing's eyes were wide with rage, and she gritted her teeth.

She was at the Half-step Divine Fire Realm, only one step away from igniting her Divine Fire and becoming a Heavenly God.

But now, that eerie red light had descended, severing the path to godhood for all living beings in the Zhangming Emperor Realm.

Her Divine Fire had been extinguished, disappearing without a trace; she could no longer become a Heavenly God!

Lin Ran didn't bother with these things for the moment; he rushed into the mansion like a madman, burst open Xia Lingshuang's door, and pulled the pale-faced Xia Lingshuang into his arms.

"That Aura... it's Heavenly God Mountain."

Xia Lingshuang's tone was terrifyingly calm.

But it was precisely this calm tone that harbored the most extreme rage in the world.

"Lingshuang, don't overthink it for now. If the experts of Heavenly God Mountain can sever our path to godhood, then we can also find a way to restore it."

"At least you still have me; I will help you."

Lin Ran reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of Xia Lingshuang's mouth, his tone gentle.

He wasn't wrong; after all, since the people of Heavenly God Mountain could sever the path to godhood, they must also be able to find a way to restore it.

Furthermore, he had this confidence.

Simply because...

His Divine Fire had not been extinguished without a trace!

Just now, when that eerie red light swept across his Physical Body, his Destiny Immortal Body and Yin-Yang Immortal Body had simultaneously exerted their power—that was the most instinctive and primitive Dao power, which intercepted the eerie red light.

Therefore, his Divine Fire had managed to "survive" unscathed.

Since this eerie red light had failed to sever his path to godhood, he still had the possibility of becoming a Heavenly God.

He was confident that as long as he was there, and as long as he grew strong enough, all problems would be solved!

He had this confidence!

Looking at Lin Ran, whose face was full of worry for her, Xia Lingshuang couldn't help but raise a smile.

She shifted her body, obediently snuggling into Lin Ran's arms, her hands gently wrapping around his waist, and said in a soft voice:

"Lin Ran, don't worry, I won't do anything foolish."

"If it were before, I'm afraid I would have gone crazy and sought to fight Heavenly God Mountain regardless of the consequences."

"But now, I am not left with nothing; I still have you."

"Even if it's just for you, I won't do those foolish things."

"I... will listen to you."

As she spoke, she leaned forward and kissed Lin Ran.

Her lips were very cold, yet soft, like a marshmallow emitting cold air, filled with sweetness.

However, this kiss was only a fleeting touch; Xia Lingshuang did not kiss for long.

A look of optimism appeared on her face as she smiled: "Lin Ran, I have refined that half of the taiyin heavenly fate stone."

"Although I didn't step into the Divine Fire Realm because of it, I did achieve a Breakthrough to the Half-step Divine Fire Realm."

"Furthermore, I have condensed half of the taiyin heavenly fate Dao body."

"I only need to find the other half of the taiyin heavenly fate stone, and I will be able to condense a complete taiyin heavenly fate Dao body!"

The Heavenly Fate Stone was the most profound and mysterious supreme treasure in this world; the Heavenly Fate Dao Body condensed with its help possessed mysterious and unfathomable Dao energy.

"En, I will accompany you to find the other half of the taiyin heavenly fate stone."

Lin Ran rubbed the top of Xia Lingshuang's head and smiled gently.

Xia Lingshuang's beautiful eyes suddenly dimmed, and she pursed her lips, blaming herself:

"Lin Ran, that half of the taiyin heavenly fate stone... it might be in the hands of Heavenly God Mountain."

"I discarded that half of the taiyin heavenly fate stone back then; I suppose it must have been picked up by someone from Heavenly God Mountain later on."

"Tell me, was I very stupid? Why did I throw away that half of the taiyin heavenly fate stone back then?"

Lin Ran shook his head and said: "No, you were not stupid. On the contrary, you did the right thing."

"As the saying goes, an innocent man is guilty of his own treasure; if you hadn't discarded that half of the taiyin heavenly fate stone at that time, it would have sooner or later brought disaster from Heavenly God Mountain."

"Discarding the taiyin heavenly fate stone was the only way for you to survive."

"So you don't need to blame yourself; at worst, in the future, I will accompany you to storm Heavenly God Mountain and snatch that half of the taiyin heavenly fate stone back!"
