The door was right in front of him. With his strength, he could easily throw Lingxi over.
He was different from Lingxi. He should be the one to accept the challenge here. It was very likely that he would be burned in this place for a year like Emperor Xi, and then turn into ashes. But even so, he would not regret his actions today.
Of course, if it was Lingxi, she would not regret it. Perhaps she was just a little afraid and trembling.
He believed in his intuition even more.
That's right, it will definitely be fine. This is not a dead end, but a test.
He was already prepared to face the challenge. Under the powerful attack of the Sea God Emperor, he, Long Chen, had not died yet, so how could he die here? This was just the last hurdle for him to reverse the situation.
He believed so firmly.
When Lingxi's palm and his palm separated, the Empyrean God's Heart Fire surged towards him like a berserk demon. At this moment, he finally understood what Emperor Xi, Chen Xingyao, and the others were enduring. It was a type of flame that burned the body and even the primordial spirit.
It would not leave any burn marks on the body, but the pain would always be there. For Long Chen's current body, there really weren't many flames that could make him feel this way.
"Chen, Long Chen."
Lingxi rolled on the ground and immediately got up. Perhaps her tears had already flowed out, but she was not crying right now. Instead, she was extremely angry, and after being thrown out by Long Chen, she actually did not hesitate to look at Long Chen with anger, and even rushed towards him.
She had already passed. Since this door could only pass through this person, it shouldn't let her come back, right?
"Halt."
Long Chen endured the burning of the Empyrean God's Heart Fire and shouted at him.
"No, you're a bastard."
She bit her pink and tender lower lip. Her entire person had changed. She was no longer delicate and adorable like before. Instead, she was stubborn, angry, and tenacious. At this time, Long Chen's words were useless to her. Perhaps, to her, today's choice was a transformation.
Over the years, she had gotten used to Long Chen's protection. She was used to him leaving everything for her to survive. But this time, she couldn't stand it. She couldn't stand his domineering and self-assertive personality.
"Stop right there."
Now that the door was still open, Long Chen could only scold him again.
However, something that he couldn't understand happened.
Lingxi actually went through the door and came back …
Long Chen was stunned. He could only feel a woman heavily colliding into his body, causing him to almost fall down. His left hand was forcefully grabbed, and then the Deity Heart Flame retreated. At this time, a slap actually came flying over, heavily slapping his face, emitting a pa sound.
This was the first time in history that Lingxi had slapped him.
That crisp sound, as well as the burning pain on his face, caused his entire body to quiver. At this moment, the feeling directly seeped into his bones. Perhaps, it would last for the rest of his life, he would remember it clearly.
Lowering his head, he saw that she was using her bloodshot eyes to stare angrily at him. Her chest was heaving up and down violently, as though there was too much anger that hadn't been released.
Long Chen was a little lost, he even thought that he was dreaming.
Was this real?
Why did she hit him?
He stared at the woman in his arms in a daze until tears appeared in the corner of her eyes again. After that, those sparkling tears gushed out like a broken dam.
"We agreed to live and die together. How can you bear to let me live alone?"
She sobbed, saying these words in front of Long Chen.
Long Chen completely woke up. His throat felt a little blocked, he didn't know what he should say. His way of doing things had always been so domineering. He originally thought that it was enough to treat her well, but this seemed to be wrong. Yes, he didn't consider Lingxi's feelings at all.
If his life was the price for her suffering for a year, then what was the point of living? Living was torture.
So, Lingxi came back.
"I'm sorry."
Out of all the words he could say, he could only say one sentence. He admitted that he had made a mistake this time.
Long Chen originally thought that once he went out, he wouldn't be able to come back, but what was going on now?
"I forgive you, but there can't be a next time."
Lingxi said resolutely.
After a period of time, the two of them finally eased up. The door in front of them didn't disappear, it continued to exist. Lingxi's entry and exit didn't cause any changes.
This door simply made the two of them struggle in their hearts, but in the end, they still hugged each other.
"If we can't go back, it doesn't matter if we spend the rest of our lives here hand in hand."
Lingxi said seriously.
"I know, I promise I won't do it again. Don't put on that serious face anymore. You even dared to hit me, you've been quite angry recently."
Long Chen pinched her face and teased.
"Annoying, don't touch me." Ling Xi said angrily. Her anger had yet to dissipate.
Looking at the two of them holding hands, Long Chen kind of understood what these two symbols meant.
Man and woman, staying together.
Perhaps, when they were together like this, without any regrets, the two of them could also be considered one person.
This door could only allow one person to pass.
Long Chen suddenly had this kind of idea. He deeply understood the meaning of these two symbols. It wasn't for them to sacrifice themselves for others, but for them to face difficulties together.
This was the game rule set by the designer of the Three Lives Secret Realm.
But Long Chen wasn't playing a game. Everything he did was the deepest thought in his heart.
"I have an idea."
Hearing this, Lingxi hurriedly hugged him tightly, worried that he would suddenly throw her out again. Her soft and tender skin was tightly pressed against Long Chen. Her chest was pressed down, and the soft but elastic part was full of temptation.
"Let's go together. Whether we live or die, we'll accept it."
Long Chen said.
"Okay." Lingxi nodded. This was the result she wanted.
Long Chen simply closed his eyes, and so did Lingxi. She hung tightly on her man, while Long Chen held her hand with one hand and her waist with the other. Without saying anything, he sprinted towards the door.
At that moment, their hearts were pressed together, and he could even feel the trembling of the other's heart.
Their palms were tightly held, and the two symbols glowed, shining on them.
One step, two steps, three steps.
Every time they landed heavily on the ground, they had no regrets, and they didn't give up. They moved forward courageously. They wanted to break the rules, not follow them.
At that moment, they were no longer two people, but an inseparable whole.
Swoosh.
Long Chen knew it would be like this.
When he believed in everything, even the gods and the rules would make way for him. He succeeded.
When the gold and silver symbols on their palms began to dissipate, they had already passed through the door and left the sea of fire of the Empyrean Heart Fire. They no longer needed the protection of the two symbols. In reality, the two symbols had long been embedded in their hearts.
Opening his eyes, he saw a mirror.
Behind him was the sea of fire, and in front of him, there seemed to be a flight of stairs that led upwards.
But when their eyes met, Long Chen didn't know what to say. The only thought he had was that if it wasn't for the restriction of this location, he would have torn her clothes and made love to her. Only then would he be able to completely vent his feelings.
"It's over."
Long Chen gently patted her back and said softly.
"It's not over yet. I haven't forgiven you."
Lingxi became mischievous just like that time in Baiyang Village. This was originally her nature. It was just that after stumbling and experiencing too many things, she became more mature and gentle.
That flight of stairs was the escape route.
Perhaps it led to the same place as the Sea God Emperor and the others.
"We really came out together … What's going on? Didn't you say that only one person would pass? How could you lie?"
Lingxi turned her head to look at the door and said angrily.
Long Chen smiled. He knew that this was the design of the Three Lives Secret Realm. It seemed that the Three Lives Secret Realm wasn't as abnormal as he had imagined. It still left a way for Long Chen to survive.
At this moment, the door started to disappear.
The door gradually merged and formed a white dot of light.
It seemed to be the purest energy. It didn't have any attributes. It was pure, flawless, and had a refreshing fragrance that made people feel very comfortable. At the same time, it was very powerful. It was a very majestic energy. Although it looked like a small dot of light, if the energy in it was released and exploded, it could probably destroy the entire Ancient God of Martial City.
"This seems to be … Heaven Yuan Qi."
Lingxi said in surprise.
"What is it?"
"It's a very ancient energy. It's the purest energy in the world. It doesn't have any attributes. It should be considered the most complete fusion of the Five Elements Origin Energy. It's the most balanced fusion of the five energies. Moreover, it requires fifty thousand portions of the Five Elements Origin Energy to produce one portion of Heaven Yuan Qi. Its advantage is that … it can be absorbed by any warrior to increase their strength. Although it can't speed up the Samsara Calamity, it can help people advance from the early stage to the late stage … Such a large mass of Heaven Yuan Qi …"
"Is this my reward from the Three Lives Secret Realm?"
Long Chen couldn't help but laugh.
The rules of the Three Lives Secret Realm were changing all the time, as if there was a ruler controlling everything. For example, at this moment, he sent the crucial Heaven Yuan Qi to Long Chen and Lingxi, who had passed the test.
That pure white power was simply intoxicating.
It trembled slightly and changed into various shapes in front of Long Chen. It was a little mischievous.
"Big brother Chen, hurry up. With him, you should not end up in such a miserable state when you face the Sea God Sovereign again. Last time, you really frightened me badly."
"Don't worry."
Long Chen was ready.
