The further he went, the more dangerous the Lightning Tribulations became. Xiao Chen was no longer in the mood to count how many Lightning Tribulations he had undergone.
Amid the flashing lightning and roaring thunder, he was like a small boat full of misfortune, in danger of being destroyed at any moment.
Xiao Chen had used up all his trump cards. Finally, he relied on the Taiji force field to hold on and clear all the Lightning Tribulations.
The tribulation clouds in the sky scattered, and Xiao Chen heaved a sigh of relief. His clothes were tattered, but his physical body was still intact. It was much better than the first time.
"The Heart Tribulation should be arriving soon."
Xiao Chen became exceptionally cautious. Previously, he fell to the Heart Tribulation. He absolutely could not fall again this time. "Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!" Suddenly, a hole opened in the sky, and intense light poured down, dazzling Xiao Chen's eyes.
When he opened his eyes, he discovered that he was on Qingyun Peak. Liu Ruyue was beside him. She smiled warmly and said, "You are finally willing to come back. Are you still leaving this time?"
The familiar face, the familiar voice, and the gentle words. Even if one knew it was fake, one would not be willing to break this rare silence.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and held Liu Ruyue's hands. He said, "I'm not leaving this time."
"Good, then it's settled. You are not allowed to leave this time." Liu Ruyue smiled faintly and held Xiao Chen's hands tightly. She could not bear to let go no matter what.
The days passed like this on Qingyun Peak. Xiao Chen accompanied Liu Ruyue as they wandered around the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, enjoying the peaceful and warm time.
There were no conflicts, no pressure from the Blue Dragon King, no enemies on the path of cultivation; there was only happiness.
The two would argue over trivial matters. They would be moved over trivial matters. They would cry, laugh, and even make a fuss.
Even though Xiao Chen knew it was fake, he was still filled with reluctance. He wanted to leave several times. However, Liu Ruyue's pitiful gaze defeated him, so he agreed to stay for one more month.
The Lightning Tribulation was easy to clear, but the Heart Tribulation was difficult. Could Xiao Chen clear it this time?
Month after month, Xiao Chen stayed in this Heart Demon world for one year.
But no matter how long he stayed, he would have to leave one day. What was fake was fake.
On this particular day, Xiao Chen felt like leaving. He hugged Liu Ruyue and said, "Even if you are destined to leave, I should see you one last time and not watch you leave in Suifeng's memories."
Tears appeared in the corners of Liu Ruyue's eyes as she pushed Xiao Chen away. She looked at him and said, "Are you leaving? Promise me, stay with me for one more month, okay? Just one more month, just one more month, and I'll be satisfied. "
The corners of Xiao Chen's eyes were also brimming with tears. He said in a trembling voice, "Alright, I promise you, but you have to close your eyes first."
"As long as you promise me, I will listen to everything you say."
Liu Ruyue immediately smiled and obediently closed her eyes.
"Sorry."
Holding back the tears in his eyes, Xiao Chen swung his saber and chopped off Liu Ruyue's head.
There were some things that even if you knew it was fake, it was still difficult to do anything about it.
"Whoosh!" The scene before Xiao Chen changed. Ao Jiao leaped out joyfully and said, "Congratulations, you finally cleared this Heart Tribulation."
Xiao Chen forced out a smile. His heart was still immersed in the illusion, in that peaceful and happy atmosphere. That kind of beauty was something one could not bear to part with. This was the horror of a heart demon.
Even if one knew it was fake, one would still treat the fake as the truth, forever unable to walk out.
Fortunately, Xiao Chen managed to walk out in the end. He wanted to feel the effects of the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation's eighth layer.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen frowned. He looked up and discovered a figure hidden in the clouds.
"Who is it?!"
Xiao Chen shouted and gave chase at lightning speed. The clouds parted, and he saw a clear figure.
Xiao Chen felt somewhat disappointed and frustrated. Then, he rejoiced, "Leng Yue! It's her! It's her! I did not see wrong. She did not go far. She has been following me."
Executing the Fish Dragon Art's Movement Technique, Xiao Chen flew over at lightning speed, chasing after Leng Yue.
This time, Xiao Chen swore in his heart that he would not show a straight face on purpose. As a man, he should learn to understand and not act in a fit of pique.
As Xiao Chen gave chase, he focused all his attention on that pretty figure in front of him. What heart demon? What Purple Thunder Divine Incantation? He had already forgotten all about it.
"Leng Yue, since you can't bear to part with me, why can't you meet me now?!"
Xiao Chen shouted loudly when he saw the other party getting further and further away.
The figure in front of Zhang Xuan froze, as if something had triggered her, and her speed slowed down.
Xiao Chen took advantage of this opportunity and increased his speed. He leaped into the air and finally landed in front of Leng Yue, blocking her.
Their eyes met. Xiao Chen felt many emotions. After a long time, he said calmly, "Even if you are a Demon Monarch with overwhelming strength, if you are willing, I, Xiao Chen, will always be your friend."
Leng Yue shook her head and smiled. "It is not as simple as you think. There are too many things that you do not understand."
Suddenly, Xiao Chen grabbed Leng Yue's shoulders and said sullenly, "Look at me. I'll ask you one thing. Back then, did you see only one person? I just want you to tell me. Yes or no?"
Leng Yue showed a conflicted expression. Tears welled up in her eyes as she said, "Don't force me."
Xiao Chen smiled. He already knew the answer. Leng Yue had indeed been acting earlier.
That smile was incredibly cruel, just to hide the struggle in her heart. She was not as heartless as Xiao Chen thought.
Letting go of Leng Yue, Xiao Chen smiled and said, "I won't force you. I just need to know that you have not forgotten the past. That is enough."
Leng Yue smiled and said, "How can I forget that past? If I really did, I would not be so reluctant to part with you."
"Don't move. Let me look at that past again. After that, I'll leave, alright?" Leng Yue begged.
Xiao Chen understood that Leng Yue wanted him to open his heart and search for that memory in the depths of his memories.
"Sure, come in. I have never forgotten this part of the past." Xiao Chen smiled faintly and let Leng Yue place her finger on his forehead.
…
--- In the real world, on a calm sea, Ao Jiao circled around Xiao Chen anxiously.
Seven days had passed since the Lightning Tribulation, but Xiao Chen still had not woken up. Xiao Chen did not know what he had experienced in the Heart Demon world that completely entangled him.
Ao Jiao felt sorrowful in her heart. If this continued, Xiao Chen's heart would definitely be swallowed up by the Heart Demon. He would become a heartless body, never to wake up again.
However, she could not help at all. Xiao Chen could only rely on himself for such matters. Only an expert whose Mental Energy cultivation reached the level of the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign could interfere.
Not to mention the fact that Emperor Forsaken would not come to help Xiao Chen, even if he did, seven days had already passed. It might not be of any use.
--- Up in the clouds, Leng Yue's expression turned grave. She had already cultivated her Charm Techniques to the point where she could infiltrate the mind. With one glance, she could tell that Xiao Chen was undergoing a Heart Tribulation. However, seven days had passed, and Xiao Chen still had not woken up.
"Not good. The Heart Demon probably caught hold of his weakness. I have to go and take a look."
Originally, Leng Yue was prepared to never face Xiao Chen again. However, now that Xiao Chen was in danger, she could no longer care so much.
A purple mark flickered on Leng Yue's forehead. A strong wind blew, and a strong aura spread out from her body.
The clouds scattered, revealing Leng Yue in azure, looking tyrannical as she hovered in midair.
At this moment, the Demon Monarch Leng Yue did not look weak at all.
Leng Yue's strong aura caused the vast and boundless sea to tremble in fear, kicking up huge waves.
Ao Jiao looked up. However, before she could understand what was going on, she fainted the moment she saw Leng Yue's eyes.
Leng Yue floated down and placed a finger on Xiao Chen's forehead. A horrifying scene appeared before her eyes.
His heart, which was beating non-stop, had already been half occupied by the black shadow. It looked as if an ugly monster was going to swallow the tender heart whole.
"What exactly is it that made him completely defenseless, opening up his heart? Does this fellow not know that he is undergoing a Heart Tribulation? "
The Demon Monarch Leng Yue exclaimed. Then, she directly entered that heart.
"Whoosh!"
The scene before Leng Yue changed. She saw a scene that caused her mind to go blank.
She saw Xiao Chen closing his eyes, letting "her" touch his forehead with her finger.
The two revealed smiles on their faces. However, Xiao Chen's smile was blissful and serene. "Leng Yue's" smile was strange and sinister.
To think that Xiao Chen opened up his heart for her.
Damn it! Damn it to the extreme!
Rage surged in Leng Yue's heart. Her expression turned cold. She had never felt so furious before.
"Insignificant Heart Demon, who gave you the courage to touch this Monarch's person?!"
Leng Yue roared as she walked over step by step. The Demon Monarch's tyranny made others not dare to look her in the eye.
The Heart Demon Leng Yue, who was in front of Xiao Chen, turned her head and was startled, turning pale.
"Still not stopping?! Do you believe that this Monarch will lock you in a heart prison and let the heart flame burn you for a thousand years, ten thousand years?! "
The Heart Demon Leng Yue trembled, quickly letting go in fright. Xiao Chen slowly woke up. He recalled the memories he had with Leng Yue back then.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and saw two Leng Yue before him. One was lying on the ground, looking very weak. The other had a cold and emotionless face and a frightening killing Qi. Her gaze revealed a strong tyrannical aura.
"Xiao Chen, she is a Heart Demon. Quickly, save me," the Heart Demon Leng Yue said as she sobbed.
Leng Yue frowned and shouted coldly, "How dare you!"
Leng Yue waved her long sleeves, and the Heart Demon Leng Yue's body immediately burned. She cried out in pain and reverted to her original form.
That clump of ugly, illusory light changed continuously as she wailed in pain.
Xiao Chen seemed to wake up from a dream. He looked at Leng Yue, who gave off the boundless Sovereign Aura. However, he felt somewhat confused, not knowing what was going on.
Leng Yue walked over step by step, and her expression turned gentle. "You opened up your heart to the Heart Demon. The situation is critical. Don't ask anything now. I already occupied this Heart Demon's true body. If you kill me now, you can come out. "
Xiao Chen felt like he was dreaming. "You did not leave all this while. Are you watching me undergo my tribulation?"
Leng Yue smiled sadly. "If something happens to you, I will not be able to rest easy."
After saying that, Leng Yue grabbed Xiao Chen's hand and stabbed it into her heart.
"Boom!"
All the illusions vanished, and Xiao Chen returned to reality. He saw blood leaking out of a corner of Leng Yue's lips. Her finger, which was on Xiao Chen's forehead, relaxed.
