Chapter 953

What Blooms Must Wither

Tian Ran coalesced the golden petals on Empyrean Revelation, burning them into the sword as vitality.

“Stop her, Xiaoshuai!” cried Mu Yu, watching Tian Ran charge toward the barrier above them.

Tian Ran forced Xiaoshuai back as he chased her, alas. The good news was that Mu Yu regained mobility, clothing himself in Primordial Yin Yang to go after her. She, nonetheless, intensified the golden energy of the lotus at her feet, warding Mu Yu off.

“Brother Mu Yu, promise me to cherish your life,” Tian Ran pleaded as her tears converted to golden flames.

Tian Ran slashed the soul energy barrier, engulfing it. As the sky turned into a golden canvas, Tian Ran’s flames gradually extinguished along with her life. “Brother Mu Yu, you can leave now.”

Mu Yu caught Tian Ran once she could no longer maintain airborne. “Don’t do this to me. Don’t do this.”

“I want you to live.” Tian Ran tearfully wiped away Mu Yu’s tears.

“What do I have to live on for if you die?” quavered Mu Yu.

“Don’t cry. Tears are just a disguise for stubbornness. You always told me being happy was the most important, so I want you to be happy.”

“Don’t leave me. Don’t leave me. Open your eyes. Please. Why are you doing this? I won’t let you leave me!” Mu Yu sent his consciousness into his body and howled, “Save her!”

“Life and Death in the Blink of an Eye can only be cast once on an individual. I can’t save her, either, since she’s already been revived once,” responded Ju Mang, neither happy nor upset he had escaped his seal.

“I don’t believe you!”

Mu Yu’s consciousness returned to his body as he resumed howling in despair. Unable to handle the emotions inundating him, he turned his attention upward. “You two are dead men!”

Mu Yu fired death qi from his right eye, erasing even spiritual qi. Jiang Shanqiu and Xiang Guanhe avoided the beams Mu Yu sprayed, Xiang Heguan already activating the city’s barrier. Mu Yu activated Archfiend Qinglong’s domain in the dragon scale – I Reign Supreme!

The reason Mu Yu could activate the domain inside the barrier was because the domain ability forcibly upgraded his cultivation to Ascension Realm. As such, Jiang Shanqiu and Xiang Guanhe wanted to stop Mu Yu. Unfortunately, they could not impose their will no matter how much they wanted to. Hence, the desire to retreat fostered in their minds, yet they could not run, either!

Mu Yu furiously swung his sword down, sending tremors through the air and ground with his sheer might. Mu Yu obliterated Jiang Shanqiu, Xiang Guanhe, Secular World Sect’s group and half of the city in the single slash.

Once Mu Yu was done with his rampage, the domain ability wore off, but he hung onto Tian Ran with his spare arm regardless of how drained he felt. He groomed her hair and then leaned in to kiss her forehead.
