"Even I'm covered in bumps and bruises, I don't regret to falling in love with you."
"As long as I can stay with you, enjoying the same time with you, darkness and sadness will warm up."
"The whirling miss let me forge the Star and Moon Ring for you, in order to witness our forever love."
"Our love will turn into light, shining the darkness and going to immortal."
The sad, soft, hot, yearning sound of singing resounded in the old Great Tower, winding around Yun Xi's body.
That was a confession and confidence. It was the last light and the only hope in the world that would be covered by darkness.
Here was the tower of fire, the last redemption of the world.
"Ah, who is she! How dare she sing such a shameless song!"
"Little Xi, tell me, it's not a song about you, right?" Hua Huo was trying to overcome her desire to draw out the two-handed sword from her back while displaying a murderous look on her face.
His childhood sweetheart's radar of jealousy was starting to scan the potential rival from all directions.
"This is my first time coming here." Yun Xi wasn't lying, but he didn't tell her the truth either.
Who was the "princess" he needed to save?
What was the relationship between the princess and the world which was going to be swallowed by darkness?
Too many questions appeared in Yun Xi's heart. This was his first time taking the formal trial. Compared to the formal trial, the trial in the dark forest was like the "Playing house" game.
After running and running, there wasn't any monster in the empty Great Tower. There was only a spiral staircase leading to the top of the tower, and the more and more terrible the atmosphere as he ran upwards.
"Be careful, Little Xi. There are probably very strong enemies." Hua Huo had found this at the first moment she stepped in the Great Tower.
She could feel a very terrible atmosphere at the top of the Great Tower.
There was a burning flame. There was a shining light. That wasn't an opponent the male Fiery Dragon could be comparable to.
"I know. My opponents are very strong."
"However, we have no choice."
To Hua Huo, this was just a dream. There wouldn't even be pain even she died. However, as the tested person, there was no way back for Yun Xi.
Even if at the top of the tower there was something as dangerous as dragon's nest or a tiger's cave, he had to go to there to finish the ultimate goal of the trial - save the princess.
"If so, I will fight side by side with you."
"We will win, no matter who the enemy is!"
Hua Huo's eyes looked unprecedentedly serious. Comparing to the time she casually killed the male Fiery Dragon, now, Hua Huo's battle will was fully on.
"Boom!" The two-handed sword broke the door leading to the top of the tower. Yun Xi and Hua Huo rushed together into the last battlefield.
On a huge wooden cross, the Holy Virgin White Lotus was tied to the centre of the cross by black chains.
The raging fire was burning her, but there was no signs of scorching on her small naked feet.
"My prince..." Though her two hands were hung on the cross and her whole body was tied by black chains, White Lotus's pale eyes still gazed at Yun Xi with happiness.
"Prince?" Hua Huo glanced at Yun Xi with a weird look, then tightly stared at White Lotus.
Why? Why does this girl look so familiar? I remember as if in the last dream...
"Boom!"
Before Hua Huo remembered anything, the fire licked White Lotus's feet and rised to the sky. The enormous power broke the tower top and then, a 3 metres tall monster, who was surrounded by flames appeared in front of Yun Xi's eyes.
It wore a crimson armor skirt, held a scarlet flame sword with spiral grooves, and looked like a translucent woman. Even if it just stood still, it had almost made Yun Xi choke.
On her morning-glow-like cloak, large amounts of fire powders were burning and dancing along with her breathing.
"Jump, Little Xi!" Hua Huo's words warned Yun Xi in time. Subconsciously, Yun Xi jumped up.
"Swish!" Countless fire powders came crashing through below Yun Xi's feet. If Yun Xi hesitated just now, he'd have died.
She wasn't like any enemy Yun Xi met before. If he didn't hear Hua Huo's warning, perhaps he'd have been killed at the first instant.
In the face of ten times' power, any tactics, strategies or skills were useless. Moreover, the power of the red monster was far more than just ten times Yun Xi's power.
"Sister! No!" White Lotus anxiously gazed at the huge figure, which was wrapped by flames and was temporarily separated from her.
"Get out of the way!" Red Lotus snappily stared at Yun Xi, raising her Red Lotus Holy Sword again.
She didn't know why she had this inexplicable dream again. Besides, she had to separate from her sister White Lotus, temporarily becoming her sister's flame guardian spirit.
It seemed that this form conformed to some rule of the world and she felt it was very easy to handle. However, due to this, she had to defeat any people who dared to get close to the princess.
She didn't need anyone to tell her to do it, because it was an elder sister's natural duty to kill any bad men who dared to get close to her little sister, right?
"You want to kill my Little Xi?" Apparently, Hua Huo didn't realize who the flame guardian spirit was, but at the very moment she saw the spirit attack Yun Xi, she lost her temper.
This time, she wouldn't allow Yun Xi to fight against the guardian spirit, because though she didn't know who the flame guardian spirit was, but even ten male Fiery Dragons weren't her opponent.
Even if they were at the same Hero rank, there was still a large gap among different individuals. This spirit was a troublesome one.
It seems she couldn't keep hiding her true power.
Fortunately, this was just a dream. She didn't need to worry about how to deal with it if she damaged the environment too much.
"I will show you the true power of the Sky Flying Bloodline." As blood dropped down from her fingers, Hua Huo's eyes changed.
Chapter 61: Tragic Asura
The booming sounds of metal colliding resounded at the top of the exploded Great Tower.
Yun Xi's childhood sweetheart and the Red Lotus Holy Virgin of the twin witches were starting a fighting that was far beyond Yun Xi's understanding.
They were both super geniuses.
One of them was Yun Xi's childhood sweetheart who he never understood thoroughly, and was a super sword girl that could use the God's Sword Skill Sky Flying Sword.
The other was Red Lotus, who succeeded the position of the witch of White Lotus Sword Domain and was so famous that you could even hear her name in Western God's Domain.
In order to protect Yun Xi!
In order to protect White Lotus!
Enemy, die!
Invader, die!
****
What? Was this a fight I could take sides in?
Watching the fighting between Hua Huo and Red Lotus, Yun Xi felt he was totally useless when faced with a fight at this level.
"Prince, come here!" Taking the opportunity that Hua Huo and her sister fought so fiercely that they couldn't distract themselves from the fighting, White Lotus stealthily waved her hands to Yun Xi.
"Your Highness Holy Virgin, what're you doing?" After blocking the shock wave caused by the fighting between the two "monsters", Yun Xi tried his best to go toward the tied White Lotus Holy Virgin.
"I did nothing. Some power of the world influenced my sister. She became that violent monster."
She also wanted to be a quiet sleeping beauty waiting for her prince's kiss!
However, it seemed that some rules of the world chained her on the wooden cross from the moment she entered the world and her sister became the eternal flame spirit guarding her.
The only thing she could do was to sing from the top of the single Great Tower, to call her prince to save
her.
"I see. How can I save you?" After knowing the origin and development, Yun Xi began forming cold sweat.
If he didn't go perform the side quest and obtain Hua Huo's help and only used his own power, even if he passed through the third district due to luck, he would be killed by Red Lotus at the very instant he faced the ultimate challenge.
What an extremely difficult formal trial!
The stars' "special consideration" made Yun Xi want to cry.
"You can." White Lotus gazed at Yun Xi with tenderness and love. Even if Hua Huo wasn't here, she could still help Yun Xi. The most difficult part of the trial was how to enter the Great Tower.
"I'm waiting for you, my prince."
"Do you remember the love token you gave me?
"This world has its own rules. You need to do one thing to suppress my sister and save me."
As hearing White Lotus's plan, Yun Xi couldn't stop beads of sweat dripping from his forehead and back.
If he did that, Hua Huo would kill him.
However, if he didn't do it, the world would be destroyed!
Oh, he didn't want to make mistakes. It was the world forcing him!
"Hee ah!"
Hua Huo lightly leapt up. In her hands, the two-handed heavy sword, which could even be used as siege weapon, burst out in a blue light. Temporarily, Hua Huo overcame gravity, standing upside down in the sky.
At that moment, time also temporarily stopped. Even the burning fire powders which surrounded Red Lotus also paused in the sky by the will and spirit of Hua Huo's sword.
"Sky Fly - Crossing Slash!"
The 3 metres tall guardian spirit's body was covered with wounds and exposed Red Lotus's true body inside it.
Her two hands raised her Red Lotus Holy Sword, as the blazing cloak waved on her back due to the wind.
"Hot Sun - Burning the Sky!"
A column of scorching fire rised to the sky.
This was a fighting between extraordinary power and extraordinary power, a bloody battle between two hero-ranked warriors!
The tremendous crossed sword light and the huge column of fire exploded together. They almost destroyed half of the giant Great Tower.
"Great!" Hua Huo was very excited.
She had waited too long to meet such a spicy battle with an opponent at the same level with her.
"You... Wait, bastard, what're you doing?!" At first, Red Lotus was absorbed in staring at Hua Huo, the most threatening enemy. However, when she took a chance to glance at her sister, her anger exploded.
"Boom!" Countless flames burst out. Regardless of having turned her back to Hua Huo, Red Lotus frantically rushed to the cross.
"Little Xi!" Hua Huo didn't take this opportunity to attack Red Lotus, because she was even angrier than Red Lotus!
Her Little Xi, her childhood sweetheart, was holding the poor, lovely girl's hands. He lowered his head and gave the girl a soft, sweet kiss on her hand.
"Arrrrrghhhh! White Lotus!"
"Nooooooooo! Little Xi!"
Red Lotus and Hua Huo went mad together!
"I give you my love."
"In that case, I can shine the world."
White Lotus was indulging in Yun Xi's kiss.
Finally, she tried to be the first. The time between two lovers was so sweet.
I wanted all your first experiences. I wanted to become the only one in your heart.
For you, I willed to become the eternal flame of the world, to deprive all darkness.
You were the light of my life. You were the forever I hoped for. You were the lover I waited for.
"Give it to me, my prince." White Lotus reached out her small hands and put the Star and Moon Ring she forged in Yun Xi's hands.
"Eh!" Yun Xi could feel a killing intent. Two very strong killing intents.
One was from his powerful childhood sweetheart, the unbeatable sword girl, who could kill the male Fiery Dragon like she was killing a poor dog.
Another was from White Lotus's elder sister, Red Lotus, one of the twin witches, who could turn into a burning guardian spirit.
None of them was an opponent that he could be a could match for. More exactly, he could only wait to be killed by them.
What should he do to defuse the crisis? At this time, Yun Xi vaguely understood how his past life died.
Fortunately, he had a backup this time. The girl was also the most important person of the world.
Though he didn't know why she wanted him to give her the ring, which looked totally unlike the micalex he presented her before. However, since he didn't have more information, this was his only choice.
"You bastard! Don't touch my White Lotus!" Red Lotus had gone crazy. She turned into the red-hot guardian spirit, rushing towards Yun Xi.
She really wanted to kill him!
"Little Xi, explain this!" Hua Huo leapt to the sky again. The two-handed heavy sword was dyed bright red.
She was angry. This was the first time that Yun Xi saw Hua Huo so angry!
This... was I playing with fire? Yun Xi tried to weep, but failed to shed a tear. He could only look at the girl with the Star and Moon Ring in his arms.
"Don't worry. Trust me!
"Trust me! Trust the girl who was always waiting for you!"
After putting the Star and Moon Ring on her head, White Lotus looked pretty happy.
Again, the song resounded in the world, which was going to be swallowed by the darkness.
"I wander in the darkness... once dreamed the whisper that no one could hear..."
"The unreachable wish and the trampled wing. Lowering my head in the darkness, and waiting for your coming."
"The whirling miss let me forge the Star and Moon Ring for you, in order to witness our eternal love."
"Our love will turn into light, shining the darkness and going to the immortal."
Chapter 62: The Primal Fire
Inside the stainless white radiance, White Lotus guided Yun Xi's hands to put the Star and Moon Ring on her hand, declaring to the world their brave oath.
"Today, I hold his hands and tell all the people in the world.
"From this day forward, I'm going to be a couple with him.
"For rich or for poor.
"For better or for worse.
"Like the stars shining in the infinite night sky.
"Our hearts linked together, never to be separated.
"We wish for love, we want to stay together. If our tenderness can suffuse the world, that would be fantastic.
"No, not only so.
"For you, I'm willing to become the eternal flame to bring light to the world!"
That was the girl's decision. For the sake of her lover, she volunteered for that.
The world was filled with darkness and despair. Countless dead souls were wandering in the nightmare. They couldn't rest. They couldn't sleep.
Therefore, she would become the light that would light up the world, to be the initial fire!
"Boom" Between earth and sky, a huge White Lotus bloomed. Then a layer of crimson fire surrounded White Lotus.
White Lotus and Red Lotus combined together in such a weird way. At the last sanctuary of the world, they lit the column of fire, shining throughout the sky and earth.
The red sky and black earth ushered in light again. One after another, bonfires appeared in all the corners of the dark world. The world was lighting up.
Even the fire couldn't change the true nature of the dark world, it just brought a slender hope.
Yun Xi could barely see the puzzled souls going towards those bonfires from the void. Then they transformed into human figures, gazing at their own two hands in confusion.
Though they didn't have memories of their pasts, but also represented the hope of the world.
They were ashes birthed from fire, wandering souls corrupted by the dark world. The tower of fire lit up by White Lotus and Red Lotus supported them so that they could be born in the bonfire.
The destiny of the world had cha
nged.
The world, which was supposed to fall in perpetual darkness, would sing a song of blood and fire again.
