As the Universe Turns - Chapter 481
Chapter 481 Seize One’s Life and Death
“Who is it!”
The black-clothed old man’s mind trembled. Before he could put the two corpses on the ground into his sleeves, a terrifying spatial force surged out from the abyss, causing him to vomit blood and fly backwards.
“That’s …”
The black-clothed old man’s mind trembled. Slowly, even if he had not yet transformed into a spirit, he might not be able to withstand such a terrifying power. Seeing that Gas of Gods and Demons was spreading out, he did not even think about it. He instantly turned into a streak of light and fled into the distance. He would rather not risk his life than that ancient remnant.
Moments later, the Gas of Gods and Demons in the abyss gradually faded away. Immediately after, a figure flew up from below. It was none other than Xiao Chen, with the Fallen Butterfly’s icy cold body in his hands.
“I’ve finally come out …”
Xiao Chen looked at Yun Kuotian Qing and didn’t know what it felt like. Back then, he had been chased by Yun Yazi and had no choice but to jump into Tomb of Gods and Demons. Now, he had been tossing and turning for a few years and finally came out again. However …
At this moment, he lowered his head and looked at Luo Die, who had long since lost her breathing and heartbeat. His heart suddenly felt a sharp pain. He still remembered everything from back then, and he still remembered the day when he and Luo Die jumped into the abyss.
However, in the end, he was unable to bring Luo Die out alive.
“I’m sorry …”
Xiao Chen felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn’t forget what he was going to do next. He leapt forward with Luo Die in his arms and swept his gaze, only to accidentally discover the two corpses on the roadside.
“Wait …”
Xiao Chen’s expression froze as he quickly descended. He stretched out his hand to probe. The two of them were clearly still warm. It was obvious that the murderer had just left after he had just died.
“Something’s wrong …”
He frowned again. He was now very sensitive to life and death. He stretched out his hand again and discovered that the two people’s flames of life hadn’t been completely extinguished, and there was still a trace of life aura.
“Luo Die …”
At this moment, his expression became extremely solemn. He looked at Luo Die again. At this moment, he finally thought of something. Luo Die was saved!
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and rolled up the two corpses into the distance in an instant.
After escaping for hundreds of miles and finding a hidden valley, Xiao Chen put down the two corpses and slowly placed Luo Die aside.
Not long after the two of them died, the flames of life remained unextinguished, which was what was commonly said to be “not dead yet.” In this way, he could use the manipulation of life and death to transfer the flames of life to Luo Die, thereby reviving Luo Die. After all, Luo Die’s lifespan had not yet been exhausted.
Such a method was even more heaven-defying than borrowing a corpse to return a soul. Only controlling life and death was capable of doing so. It was not enough to control life and death alone. It required a complete control over life and death before it could be implemented. Xiao Chen possessed this kind of ability.
After he was ready, he did not hesitate and immediately used Life and Death Manipulation on the three of them, transferring all of the flames of life from the man and woman to Luo Die.
“Rumble!”
Suddenly, thunder rang out in the sky. Originally, the sky was bright and clear. At this moment, a hundred li radius was enveloped by black clouds. The thunder clouds in the sky surged endlessly, and thunder continuously descended into the valley.
Life and death had a destiny, wealth and honor lay in the heavens, and forcefully reversing life and death with manpower was undoubtedly a heaven-defying technique!
After a day and night, the black-clothed old man returned to the original place. When he carefully returned to the vicinity of the abyss, he discovered that Qin Yan and Yun Wan’s corpses had disappeared.
He was shocked. He searched everywhere, but there were still no corpses or blood stains nearby. However, he was sure that the two of them had died yesterday. There was no way he could have missed. But how could the corpses have disappeared?
“Could it be yesterday …”
He was covered in cold sweat. When he recalled it carefully, it was as if something terrifying had rushed out from the depths of the abyss yesterday. Even his cultivation at the Middle Profound Realm was shocked.
That was why he left in a panic yesterday. He didn’t dare to come back all night. It was only during the day that he had the courage to come back. When he returned, he discovered that Qin Yan and Yun Wan’s corpses had disappeared. What could he do?
Not to mention that he couldn’t find Qin Yan’s remnant ancient book, “Too Forgetful.” Just the corpses of these two people, how would he explain them when he returned?
The black-clothed old man walked towards the abyss. Ning Mei muttered to himself, “Go back and tell me that the two of them fell into the Devil’s Breath Abyss in panic. Their corpses turned into ashes … No, Dao Wuwei definitely won’t believe it. This person has a suspicious nature and will definitely think that he has taken it too much … What should we do?”
The black-clothed old man was so anxious that he spun around. If he had known that he would have fought to the death yesterday, he would have swept away the corpses of the two of them. This time, the corpses had disappeared. He was not worried that he would not be able to return to his post, but that Dao Wuwei would definitely not believe him. Then, his fate would be the same as the two of them.
“Things have come to this … this is the only way.”
Suddenly, a strange cold light flashed through the black-clothed old man’s eyes. Then, his figure disappeared into the distance.
…
Inside the secluded valley, Xiao Chen spent a night manipulating extraordinary life and death techniques. It was a heaven-defying technique that robbed Yin and Yang of their life and death. Around noon, Qin Yan and Yun Wan’s life flames were completely extinguished. However, Luo Die’s face gradually regained its color of blood, and her heartbeat and breathing gradually increased.
Xiao Chen heaved a sigh of relief. He raised his hand and looked at his palm. A strand of death energy gradually dissipated from his palm. He thought to himself that this manipulation of life and death was indeed formidable. It was actually so powerful that it could bring people back from the dead. Only these two people …
He looked at the two corpses on the ground. He didn’t know who had killed them. Originally, the flames of life hadn’t been completely extinguished. At the very least, he could still preserve his primordial spirit. However, now that he had controlled the flames of life and death to seize the final flames of life, it was clear that they were completely dead.
He couldn’t help but feel a little guilty about the two of them. After all, he had never known each other before and had no grievances or enmity.
“Cough … cough cough …”
At this moment, Luo Die finally woke up and turned around. His face slowly recovered its color. He opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Chen, “Xiao … Xiao Yichen …”
“You’re awake?”
Xiao Chen walked over and slowly helped her up. Luo Die rubbed her forehead and tried her best to open her eyes to look at him. Although her body was still numb, she gradually regained consciousness. But … wasn’t she already dead? Where is this place? Did he come out?
“We’re out.”
Xiao Chen knew that she was puzzled. He naturally didn’t want to tell her about the manipulation of life and death. He said, “You were unconscious for many days. We came out yesterday.”
“Yesterday … unconscious …”
Luo Die rubbed her forehead. Something was wrong. That feeling was clearly that she was already dead. Why was it so strange? She always felt that something was wrong …
“This … this is!”
It was only at this moment that she noticed the two corpses on the ground. Her eyes narrowed and her face revealed shock. Obviously, she recognized the two of them and shouted in shock, “How could it be them? This …”
