Chapter 524 The Cold and Pure Human Buddha Child VS The Adorable and Devoted Demon Cat Emperor [200]
The prayer beads sensed him and, instead of resisting his approach, protected him as well.
Jiang Xiyu held the divine soul in his arms and called out to it several times, but there was no response.
He sensed the weakness of Shiga's soul.
In fact, this weakness came from Shiga's tireless efforts to repair his demon core day and night, and he didn't want Jiang Xiyu to find out, so he kept it a secret. In addition, after arriving at the Buddhist cave, the suppression of Yuejia's magic power made it difficult for Shiga's soul to wake up.
Jiang Xiyu instinctively wanted to hide him inside her body to stay away from these dangers.
But at the moment he was about to act, he saw the thunderclap falling outside the barrier and gave up.
Because his body, it now appears, may be the most dangerous place.
Since Yuejia has made up her mind to take him away, she will definitely not allow Shijia to stay in her body.
No matter how hard Jiang Xiyu thought, he couldn't come up with a solution for the time being.
He paused for a moment, looking at the prayer beads protecting him and Shiga, and could only think of wishing Shiga safety.
Jiang Xiyu knew that the Buddhist beads had a spirit, so he held onto Shijia's soul and asked the beads to take Shijia away from here.
The prayer beads flickered twice but remained still, as if they felt they couldn't abandon him.
Although the golden core inside Jiang Xiyu's body was not fully formed, it had already taken on some resemblance.
This power was enough for him to withstand these tribulation lightning bolts.
Jiang Xiyu didn't want to delay any longer and said to the prayer beads, "If you don't take the monk with you, none of us will be able to leave. Don't worry, I'll be fine. He won't hurt me..."
The light from the prayer beads trembled, and finally obediently shrank, settling into Jiang Xiyu's palm.
Jiang Xiyu shielded Shiga from the tribulation lightning, placed Shiga's soul into the Buddhist beads, and then let the beads carry Shiga away.
Once Shiga left, Jiang Xiyu had no more worries.
Just by looking at it, he knew that this tribulation lightning was unusual.
Even though Yuejia is so mad, so mad that he dares to deceive the gods and Buddhas, it is all for his sake.
He could not, and did not want to, leave.
The thunderclaps grew more frequent and faster, and when the vortex pressed down, it was like a cast-iron bell. Yuejia's figure entered it and never came out again.
Jiang Xiyu didn't know what was happening inside. He waited for a while, but couldn't wait any longer. His heart was pounding so hard he felt like he was suffocating.
But when he tried to get closer to the vortex, he was suppressed by a tremendous force, which prevented him from getting any closer.
Clearly, this is the tribulation lightning of Yuejia, and no one can interfere with it.
Jiang Xiyu forced his way closer, but was also mercilessly shaken away by that force.
The next moment, everything went black before his eyes, and he lost consciousness.
……
In the tribulation lightning, Yuejia saw many memories of his past with Jiang Xiyu, memories of joy and pain, which appeared one by one to test whether he had let go of his obsession.
Things are different now. With her golden body, Yuejia can easily evade those tests.
When he looked at those scenes that had once made him jealous and in pain, he remained expressionless, seemingly unconcerned. In reality, he was secretly hiding those emotions, so much so that even the tribulation lightning could not detect them.
In this life, I have a deep-seated obsession, one that is heavier than any obsession I have held for thousands of years.
He could not fulfill his duty like Shika, simply because that was his nature.
A person with deep-seated greed never imagined that one day he would be greedy for someone's affection.
Feelings are such an ethereal thing, yet why do they reside so deeply and heavily in his heart, making it impossible for him to detach himself from them?
In truth, he didn't need to go to such lengths to deceive everyone; it's just that he couldn't let go.
Yuejia had mocked himself before, even scoffing at his own madness in the long nights. But recalling the warmth he had briefly experienced in his life, Yuejia felt that even if he were reduced to ashes, he would be willing to go mad like this once more.
Thus, caught in the vortex, he cast aside all his evil thoughts and was even willing to become the very thing he once hated most, Shiga.
All their obsessions were shattered into pieces by the overwhelming lightning tribulation, and vanished in the wind in an instant.
Yuejia clenched her fist, then released it, and immediately closed her eyes, single-mindedly undergoing this tribulation to attain Buddhahood.
When he emerged from the tribulation and rushed towards Jiang Xiyu's location, he was already gone from the radiance.
Even after he had gone to such lengths, that person still refused to go with him...
In that instant, it was as if all the thunderbolts he had dodged had finally struck him.
Crushed to ashes, reduced to ashes and vanished into nothingness.
Yuejia stood before the radiance, her eyes bloodshot, her composure at its peak, yet also her pain at its most intense.
The dazzling golden light emanating from his body vanished in an instant, replaced by an overwhelming sea of hatred.
When Jiang Xiyu, who had been blasted away by the lightning tribulation, returned with all his might, he saw Yuejia standing in the strange sea of clouds, almost falling into demonic possession.
Jiang Xiyu was stunned and speechless for a moment, but he knew that if Yuejia really fell into demonic possession, then everything would be in vain.
He forced himself to walk toward Yuejia's retreating figure, letting out a hoarse cry.
The voice was so soft that even Jiang Xiyu himself couldn't hear it, but the dark red aura surging around Yuejia seemed to freeze for a moment.
He slowly turned his head, and the sacred Buddhist seal between his brows appeared even more noble and solemn, golden with a faint radiance, as if adorned with fine gold dust. However, the dark red aura surging around him inexplicably made his features appear strangely stern and eerie.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked over with an extremely sinister and crazed gaze, as if burning with the most intense hatred and the most painful love.
Their eyes met, and Jiang Xiyu immediately felt a sense of foreboding.
He had a premonition that something was wrong with Yuejia. His heart was filled with shock and pain. He struggled to speak, his throat bobbing a few times before he finally managed to utter, "I... I didn't leave..."
He didn't know why he said that first, but he subconsciously felt that Yuejia had become like this because of his departure.
But as he finished speaking, Yuejia suddenly smiled with a twisted expression.
His laughter was somewhat manic, and also revealed a trace of despair that had not yet subsided.
Before Jiang Xiyu could react, he flashed to Jiang Xiyu's side, his aura sweeping out and instantly creating a barrier that trapped Jiang Xiyu and himself, as if isolating them from everything in this world.
"I deceived everyone to help you cleanse your marrow and improve your cultivation; I wanted to lead you out of the sea of suffering and into a state of immortality; I poured out my meager but complete sincerity to you, yet you repeatedly deceived me, abandoned me, and even though I paved the way for you, you still showed no gratitude and were not willing at all..."
"Jiang Xiyu, what exactly do you want from me to stay obediently by my side?"
He looked down at Jiang Xiyu, grabbed his chin and questioned him, as if he had really gone mad. His tone was strange, as if he was asking himself, or as if he was asking Jiang Xiyu.
The more he asked, the calmer he became, so calm that he seemed frozen, yet his emotions surged in a completely different way.
Jiang Xiyu couldn't answer; he was in so much pain that he couldn't even speak. He felt as if his jaw was shattered.
Yuejia stared at him with her crimson eyes. After a long while, she finally spoke in a hoarse voice: "Do you choose to come with me and stay with me forever, or do you choose to perish with me under this heavenly lightning and return to chaos forever..."
If we're not willing to live together, then let's die together.
Since I can't have you, then no one else in this world deserves you.
"My husband, you have betrayed me..." Yue Jia said, pulling Jiang Xiyu into his arms, his expression twisted with malice. After a moment of silence, a chilling sigh reached Jiang Xiyu's ear: "May Buddha have mercy! I have risked my life to reach this day, yet I still do not understand why I am so obsessed with you..."
