Chapter 825 - 813: Unbelievable (Second Update)
Shen Ci’an and Yue Wuhen hadn’t even had a chance to say much to Mei Qingchen before he ate it without hesitation.
"You... You don’t even hesitate?"
At this moment, Shen Ci’an didn’t know what to say.
"And knowing that consuming it would immediately trigger the Ascension Road, you couldn’t wait for your wife to wake up."
He knew that Mei Qingchen had already been placed in the wife’s heart.
If the wife awoke and didn’t see Mei Qingchen, she would surely be upset.
Precisely for this reason, Mei Qingchen chose to consume the elixir at this moment.
Because he feared that when he saw his wife, he wouldn’t bear to leave.
He would be unable to resist desperately fighting against the power of the Ascension Road.
But if he truly wanted the best for his wife, he had to enter there to see if there was a way to restore the Divine Domain.
Escaping won’t solve the problem.
The moment the elixir entered the stomach, it felt like a mellow warm stream gently flowing through Mei Qingchen’s limbs and bones.
The Youluo Fragrance Poison nestled deep within his meridians and blood seemed to meet its nemesis, dissolving at a visible speed.
Once the shackles within the depths of his blood were lifted, the heavy feeling in his bones instantly dissipated, replaced by an unprecedented lightness.
As if all the shackles on his body were completely broken, as if he could walk on wind the next moment.
The suppressed Spiritual Power began to surge out, unrestrained by the shackles, and the sliver of Divine Blood within him seemed to boil up from deep within his meridians, his superpower began gradually ascending.
The surrounding Spiritual Energy seemed to be drawn by the Pure Lotus Golden Leopard’s Divine Blood, flowing towards Mei Qingchen’s body.
"Boom..."
As Mei Qingchen’s power ascended, a deep rumbling suddenly came from the heavens.
Soon after, a dazzling Divine Light suddenly pierced the sky, like a golden waterfall, falling down with a boom and precisely enveloping Mei Qingchen’s body.
Shen Ci’an’s pupils constricted, "The Divine Light indeed fell."
"It implies the Ascension Road is about to open."
"Even though the Divine Domain has collapsed, the Ascension Platform still descends, and there’s still Divine Light, it truly is strange."
Shen Ci’an couldn’t help but want to venture forward to investigate, or see what’s going on with the power of the Ascension Road.
But as he approached, he was brutally repelled by a majestic force.
His body even staggered backward several steps, his chest felt tight, and his blood churned.
"It won’t allow any approach."
Yue Wuhen murmured, "It is indeed Divine Light, a passage belonging to the Pure Lotus Golden Leopard, no one else can approach."
Shen Ci’an’s long eyes carried a somber, deep hue, "Even though the Divine Domain has collapsed, I didn’t expect there to still be such Divine Light."
Yue Wuhen pondered, "It shouldn’t have completely collapsed, only some passages collapsed, otherwise there wouldn’t be Divine Light."
"It also means there’s perhaps a chance to reshape the Divine Domain."
Yue Wuhen sighed internally, to save the world, it indeed requires the power of the Divine Domain.
That Divine Light carried a supreme might, holy and inviolable, forming a unique magnetic field that prevented others from approaching.
Upon nearing, one could feel that powerful repulsive force.
The Divine Light, centered on Mei Qingchen, expanded outwards, causing the surrounding grass, stones, and debris to float up slowly.
Soon thereafter, within the Divine Light, golden stairs slowly coalesced, tier upon tier, with each level inscribed with intricate ancient patterns, exuding a rich sacred aura.
Like a celestial ladder leading to the skies, it slowly extended and ultimately settled firmly beneath Mei Qingchen’s feet.
As soon as the stairs touched down, a powerful suction force erupted from them, securely locking Mei Qingchen’s figure, pulling him irresistibly towards the stairs.
This suction was gentle yet undeniable, even if Mei Qingchen stood still, he would be forcibly led onto the stairs by this force, heading towards his destined path.
Mei Qingchen hadn’t expected such speed, leaving him with no time.
Determination flashed in his eyes, he swiftly drew the dagger from his waist without hesitation, the blade quickly slicing across his chest, bright Heart Blood instantly surged out, dripping onto the Golden Lotus Branch prepared in his palm.
Soon thereafter, Mei Qingchen clenched his teeth, exerting all of his newly ascended superpower and the power granted by the Divine Blood, fiercely tossing the Golden Lotus Branch filled with Heart Blood towards the outer perimeter of the Divine Light.
The immense power, carrying the warmth of Heart Blood, forcibly tore open a slight gap on the impenetrable magnetic field, through which the Golden Lotus Branch rapidly flew out and landed steadily before Yue Wuhen.
"Hold onto this, it may help find another way inside."
After doing all this, Mei Qingchen no longer had the strength to resist the suction, the Divine Light around him suddenly surged, its brightness stung eyes closed, enveloping his figure completely.
Ultimately, his figure vanished, along with the golden light and the Ascension Road stairs.
Yue Wuhen held the Golden Lotus Branch carrying Heart Blood, murmuring, "So he did it for this."
Shen Ci’an also quickly realized something, "Indeed, he’s entered the Divine Domain path, even if that path has collapsed, he must have fallen into a strange place, with this item, the wife may be able to locate other entrances into that place based on the connection between her Heart Blood and him."
Initially, they were pondering how to enter there.
Racking their brains, they couldn’t fathom what kind of place it was.
Now Mei Qingchen has essentially created a possibility with his own actions.
Yue Wuhen noted, "This Golden Lotus Branch also contains his origin power."
"Why isn’t there a Blood Clan Beast God?"
Shen Ci’an also yearned to possess, to enter that Divine Domain to see what’s going on.
The mural of the Twelve Beast Gods, some beast gods were blurry, only a few were confirmed beast gods, and the others, no one knew.
Thus, Yue Wuhen wasn’t entirely sure what Shen Ci’an’s existence meant.
Shen Ci’an pondered, "Wait, I heard there’s a mural of the Twelve Beast Gods in the Moon Clan, it confirms there’s a Deer Beast God, and your true form is a Moon Deer Beastman, you should possess the Divine Blood, you should be able to enter the Divine Domain."
"But why hasn’t your Ascension Road opened?"
"Could there be some shackles on your body too?"
Yue Wuhen’s eyelashes trembled, but he said nothing more.
Shen Ci’an carefully observed Yue Wuhen’s expression, discovering this fellow concealed deeply.
However, he could ascertain this fellow certainly harbors a secret.
Yet, Shen Ci’an wouldn’t suspect Yue Wuhen of anything, because every time he sacrificed his life for the wife, he definitely wouldn’t harm her.
Perhaps there are things inconvenient to say, or yet unable to be shared?
"The Twelve Beast Gods aren’t necessarily constant."
"For now, let’s take care of the wife first."
But when Yue Wuhen placed the Golden Lotus Branch at the bedside, a golden light automatically surged into Su Muyao’s body.
"Is this Divine Light?"
"How did Mei Qingchen achieve this?"
"Leaving behind a sliver of Divine Light, this Divine Light can expedite the wife’s recovery."
Shen Ci’an looked, feeling incredulous.
The wife’s complexion visibly became rosy, her spirits improved greatly.
After a pause, Shen Ci’an couldn’t help but remark, "The Leopard, even at critical moments, proves reliable."
Although it’s unclear what he sacrificed to achieve this, his love for the wife is undoubtedly unquestionable.
Yue Wuhen observed Su Muyao’s condition, breathed a sigh of relief, "The wife should wake up soon."
