And Me
Rumble.
Like a purple thunder dragon, the heavenly thunder roared down from the sky. From the momentum of its descent, it could be felt that it wanted to finish him off here and now.
Three waves of tribulation lightning.
Ye Zichen didn't dare imagine how powerful three waves of tribulation lightning would be. He didn't want to think about it either.
He really wanted to give up.
However, deep in his heart, he was still conflicted.
He didn't know why, but this bolt of heavenly lightning seemed to fall much slower than the previous ones. As the bolt of lightning descended, countless images flashed through Ye Zichen's mind.
There was sweetness, bitterness, anger, and disappointment.
He'd carefully cut his way through all the obstacles to get here. It seemed …. He'd really reached the end.
"I've hurt Keke."
His gaze landed on Xia Keke, who was not too far away. From the beginning to the end, this little girl had always stood by his side unwaveringly. She was always the most worry-free.
But she was also the most heartbreaking.
Ye Zichen wasn't an idiot. He could feel Xia Keke's love for him. However, he didn't dare respond. All he got in return was Xia Keke's sacrifice.
Until now ….
She was still the same.
"I've hurt you."
Ye Zichen reached out and wiped her cheek, then struggled to move his body and hug her.
"Let me make it up to you a little."
However, the instant he hugged her, Keke, who'd been sprawled on the ground and unable to move, somehow found the strength to push him away.
"I won't let Big Brother Zichen die!"
Her pretty face was filled with determination. When Ye Zichen saw her gaze, his heart shrank.
"Don't."
Xia Keke, covered in blood, crawled shakily to her feet, then leapt into the air.
"Keke!"
Ye Zichen reached out with his right hand. He really wanted to drag Keke back, but he couldn't.
But he couldn't do it. He could only watch as the purple lightning dragon devoured Xia Keke. His mind was fixated on Xia Keke's blood-covered face and her peaceful smile as she looked at him. His ears echoed with her slightly trembling yet blissful words.
"I'm so lucky. I've loved you for a long, long time."
The golden dragon roared. Xia Keke, in her golden dragon form, looked longingly down at Ye Zichen. Her eyes flashed with determination as she charged viciously at the lightning dragon.
Boom.
The two dragons crossed each other.
"No!"
Ye Zichen reached out with his right hand and roared in rage. He watched helplessly as the incoming golden dragon was swallowed up by the lightning dragons in the sky.
The blinding white light faded. When Ye Zichen came back to his senses, Xia Keke, who had turned into a golden dragon, had already disappeared.
"Keke!"
That was impossible.
Could it be that Keke's soul was destroyed by the heavenly lightning?
Ye Zichen slumped back into the disk in a daze, but the bolt of purple lightning hadn't dissipated yet. It continued to descend upon him.
Boom.
Purple light dazzled the world.
When the purple light appeared, both Black Dragon and the Beast Region experts covered their eyes with their hands. In the face of such blinding light, there was no way they could ignore it.
When the purple light faded, the Beast Region experts saw that the disk in the sky had completely disappeared. Ye Zichen, who'd been sitting on it this entire time, had naturally disappeared with it.
"Emperor Ye!"
The Beast Region experts' eyes widened in shock. Just as they were in a daze, a gust of wind swept past them.
"Ugh!"
The Beast Region experts coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground. At that moment, they saw Black Dragon twist his neck, throw his head back, and laugh arrogantly.
At this moment, there was no one who could stop him!
"Keke."
Above Dragon City, tears streamed down Xia Yingda's face. He'd personally witnessed Xia Keke being swallowed up by heavenly lightning. He didn't want to stand on the moral high ground and criticize her for her irresponsibility. Right now, all he wanted to express was the pain of a father watching his daughter die to lightning tribulation.
The other Sacred Beast clansmen were indifferent. They felt sorry for Keke and mourned for all the suffering she'd endured.
However, none of this could make up for her irresponsible departure and the destruction of the Four Beasts Formation.
If the destruction of the Four Beasts Formation really did lead to the destruction of the Three Realms, then Xia Keke would forever be a sinner in their hearts.
"Big Brother, don't be sad."
Xia Yingqiu stepped forward and reached out to comfort him. Xia Keke's death pained him just as much, but even if she died ….. they still had a future to live for.
Even if Ye Zichen perished in the Divine Tribulation, they had to live on, struggling at death's door.
Only by living could they have hope!
"The current problem is grave," said a Black Tortoise. Said a Black Tortoise. "Even though Xia Keke blocked tribulation lightning for Emperor Ye, there's no way to erase her irresponsibility. Besides, Emperor Ye perished during his tribulation. What should we do now? "
"The demons are watching us like tigers eyeing their prey, and Black Dragon is invincible. Our only hope was the Four Beasts Formation, but you dragons buried it at our hands, "said a White Tiger.
"Enough!" Xia Yingda, who was already immersed in the pain of losing his daughter, shouted with bloodshot eyes, "Keke is already dead. The dead should be respected. Even if she was in the wrong when she was alive, shouldn't you all shut up now?"
"Hmph, but can you say she had nothing to do with the Four Beasts Formation's destruction?" shouted a White Tiger.
"So what if it dies prematurely? Emperor Ye has already perished in the lightning tribulation. Even if the Four Beasts Formation really does turtle up for a hundred years, won't the result be the same?" Xia Yingda's lips curled into a disdainful smile. "Do you really think a miracle will happen in a hundred years? That any of your clans could produce a peerless genius capable of killing Black Dragon in just a hundred years? The Four Beasts Formation was built on the assumption that Emperor Ye was still alive. He was trapped in the lightning tribulation, and Keke went to save him. I don't think my daughter did anything wrong! On the other hand, all you talk about is benevolence, righteousness, and morality, but now you're pushing all the blame on my daughter. Isn't that ridiculous? "
"Xia Yingda."
"What, you want to fight?" Xia Yingda glared at him. "I'm telling you, I'm not afraid of you. If you have the guts, come at me!"
"Enough."
At that moment, an elder of the Vermillion Bird Clan stepped forward and pushed Xia Yingda and the White Tiger aside. "Xia Yingda's right. That girl's choice might have been very capricious, but if she could save Emperor Ye, it wouldn't be considered a mistake. Everyone can see the current situation. Even though Emperor Ye is no longer here, the Four Beasts Formation is still our only hope of turning the tables. Even if the chances are slim, we still have to hold on to it. Yingqiu, does your Dragon Clan have any pure-blooded clansmen? Find them, and perhaps the Four Beasts Formation will still work. "
"This ….."
Xia Yingqiu furrowed his brows. "Everyone can see it too. That girl Keke is here. If there really were, there's no way my father would let her come!"
"That's a bit troublesome."
The elder of the Vermillion Bird Clan frowned. However, at that moment, a beam of golden light flashed before their eyes. An old man with grizzled temples appeared between them.
