"Is this divine power?" Yali's gaze was complicated as she looked back at Xia Yi. The next moment, a brilliant light erupted from her body!
The blinding holy light instantly illuminated the entire Valley of Love and Judgment, turning it into an intensely white, incandescent glow.
The Goddess of Life screamed, "Are you crazy? Are you really going to burn your own soul?"
She never imagined that Yali would do something like this, so decisively. The moment the flame ignited, her body, soul, and Battle Armor were completely consumed by fire. The terrifying holy flame spread wildly towards the Golden Silver Lake.
"Since Sister Yaozhu believes in me and asked me to take Xia Yi away, I will definitely get him back." Yali gritted her teeth and said.
"Xia Yi, the Valley of Love and Judgment wants to erase both of us. I'll open a gap with all my power. You take the opportunity to escape." Yali shouted, and her body, along with her four-word Battle Armor, ignited instantly, releasing the most intense holy fire, heading towards the Golden Silver Lake.
"You crazy woman!" Xia Yi helplessly glanced at Yali.
He didn't expect Yali to make this choice.
He knew she was seeking death.
The words of the Valley of Love and Judgment earlier had once again pierced her heart, making her feel guilty toward Yunming. She couldn't avenge Long Yeyue, couldn't forgive herself, and had no choice but to seek death.
Even knowing that Xia Yi had the ability to take her away from here, she still unhesitatingly burned herself.
Tear!
A crisp sound rang out as the Golden Silver Lake was split in half by the holy light produced by Yali's self-ignition. A passage appeared in the middle of the lake.
"Xia Yi, go quickly! I can't hold on much longer." Yali shouted at Xia Yi.
"Yali, you know me. Do you think I'll just watch you commit suicide and leave on my own?" Xia Yi sighed deeply. He didn't stop Yali, just watched her.
Yali's understanding of life force had reached the divine level, and she also had a soul technique that could resurrect her.
As long as she didn't want to die, even if her body and soul burned up, she could still come back to life.
Stopping her now was pointless. What mattered most was to eliminate her death wish.
Looking at Xia Yi's deep gaze, Yali was momentarily stunned and then loudly said, "This is not the time to talk about this. Whatever it is, you should leave the Valley of Love and Judgment first."
Xia Yi shook his head and asked, "Yali, if the roles were reversed, would you just watch me commit suicide?"
"I..." Yali's momentum immediately faltered. If the roles were reversed, she would certainly try everything to stop Xia Yi.
Xia Yi stepped forward, directly hugging Yali from behind, his hands pressing against her abdomen. He activated the Huangdi Neijing and soul power continuously flowed into her body, trying to suppress her self-ignition.
Yali stiffened when she was embraced by Xia Yi. Before she could react, Xia Yi's soul power had already flowed into her soul core located in her abdomen.
"What are you doing? You'll die!" Yali instantly came to her senses. At this moment, she didn't even care about the Golden Silver Lake water surging toward them. She immediately blasted Xia Yi away.
She was a quasi-god, and Xia Yi was just a Soul Saint.
Her flames from burning herself would be able to extinguish ten Xia Yi's.
If she wasn't careful, the flames from her self-ignition would even spread to Xia Yi's body. Xia Yi had a soul core, and if it were ignited, he would be in real danger.
"Cough, cough..." Xia Yi coughed, clutching his chest, feeling as though his internal organs were shattered.
He wiped his hand across his mouth and discovered blood trickling from the corner of his lips.
In her panic, Yali hadn't been able to react in time. With her quasi-god cultivation, she was already burning herself, and the resulting power was terrifying.
Although she subconsciously tried to hold back her strength, she still hurt Xia Yi severely.
"Are you okay?" Yali's face immediately changed when she saw Xia Yi coughing blood.
"If you do it again, I'll probably be in trouble." Xia Yi stepped forward and hugged Yali again, his soul power once more flowing into her soul core.
"Xia Yi, why are you forcing me?" Looking at Xia Yi who was risking his life, Yali bit down on her shoulder. Her beautiful eyes were moist, and her eyes turned red as she asked.
This time, she didn't shake Xia Yi off. In order to prevent the flames from spreading to him, she had to interrupt her self-ignition.
"Are you a dog? Let go!" Xia Yi gritted his teeth in pain. Damn, do all women like this? He had been bitten by her several times already.
He reached out and slapped her on the backside, saying, "Remember, don't talk about dying or living all the time. How old are you? Aren't you childish?"
"You!" Yali was furious when she saw Xia Yi acting like this. She had nearly died, and not only did he not comfort her, but he was also teasing her.
She looked up at the sky. The Golden Silver Lake water was continuously being devoured by the Earth Cauldron.
At this point, only the obsession of the Goddess of Love remained. It wasn't even a divine consciousness. Even if she destroyed the Valley of Love and Judgment, she could only barely use the divine power from the Goddess of Love.
She couldn't control it properly.
With insufficient control, the power was devoured by Xia Yi's Earth Cauldron and transmitted to the Origin of Creation.
It became nourishment for the growth of the Origin of Creation.
Although the divine power of a level three god wasn't much, even a mosquito's leg is still meat.
"Is this your trump card?" Yali took a deep breath and asked.
"Sort of," Xia Yi nodded.
"Now we're safe, right?" Yali asked in a deep voice.
"We're safe," Xia Yi nodded.
"Since we're safe, how much longer do you plan on hugging me?" Yali snorted coldly.
"Isn't it because I'm afraid you'll change your mind?" Xia Yi smiled awkwardly and released Yali.
"You're not afraid of the Valley of Love and Judgment, so it turns out it's because of this. I thought you were really free from guilt," Yali snorted coldly.
Somehow, looking at Xia Yi, she felt a sense of relief from surviving a catastrophe.
She even started to joke with him.
"Being fearless is being fearless. What does it matter why?" Xia Yi grinned. In truth, he hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
It was within his expectation that the Valley of Love and Judgment didn't welcome him.
However, he thought they would seriously investigate the cause of the matter and understand what was in Xia Yi's heart.
He didn't expect them to immediately want to kill him just because of his three wives and four concubines.
Even worse, he never imagined that even if the Valley of Love and Judgment destroyed itself, they would try to kill him without asking for the reasons.
"Xia Yi, I have a question for you, and you must answer truthfully," Yali suddenly spoke, her expression very serious.
"What question? Did the Valley of Love and Judgment not give you the answer you wanted? Do you want to ask me directly?" Xia Yi smiled mischievously.
"Can't you be serious for once?" Yali was once again infuriated by Xia Yi.
"Is this how I am? I can't change," Xia Yi laughed heartily.
"I've realized that I can't have a proper conversation with you," Yali ground her teeth. She raised her hand, and a holy light descended from the sky, instantly binding Xia Yi in place.
"Don't! Heroine, I have an 80-year-old mother, and many wives and concubines! Spare me!" Xia Yi cooperatively yelled.
Yali's forehead twitched, but the expression quickly disappeared, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. She also cooperated with Xia Yi and said, "Scream all you want. No one will come to save you!"
