Chapter 107: Finale – Past Lives In His Unnoticed…
The crimson disc tore a gash in the night, then peeked out from behind the mountains, gradually claiming more territory.
Chu Li-fei stood on a mountaintop, watching quietly.
The demonic cultivators’ realm was different from the cultivation world. Here, almost no grass grew. There were only endless mountains, black and desolate, the color of cooled, molten lava.
Such sunrises were the scenes he had witnessed the most.
After today, he probably wouldn’t see them again.
Ten years had passed, and his cultivation had reached the late stage of the Great Vehicle Realm, the pinnacle of the world, unmatched by anyone.
Some in the cultivation world felt sorry for Chu Li-fei’s fall into demonic ways, wondering why he had succumbed.
But fortunately, they still had Lu Mo-chen.
The timeline was much faster than in his previous life. Lu Mo-chen was now in the middle stage of the Great Vehicle Realm.
Perhaps this was also the “arrangement” of Heaven’s Path.
Otherwise, if the other party were still in the Nascent Soul or Transformation Spirit stage, coming to fight him, a late-stage Great Vehicle cultivator, would be too much of a bully.
Chu Li-fei thought to himself.
Speaking of Lu Mo-chen, Chu Li-fei had naturally discovered his identity.
As in the previous worlds, they were all Lu Mo-chen, never changing.
The only difference was that Lu Mo-chen of this world had killed him.
He wasn’t stupid, not to the point of not recognizing his lover.
Perhaps he had sensed it in his heart long ago, but had simply been afraid to admit it.
But no matter what, today they would make their final decision.
A few days ago, Chu Li-fei had released the news that he would attack the immortal cultivators and destroy the cultivation world.
He and Lu Mo-chen were destined for a battle.
But his true purpose always remained the same:
To destroy Heaven’s Path.
As long as the so-called Heaven’s Path disappeared, he could break free from his predetermined fate.
What followed would be his true life.
And the energy that could erupt during the battle with the immortal cultivators would be enough to attract the consciousness of Heaven’s Path. As long as he could seize the opportunity to drag Heaven’s Path out—
After that, whether he won or lost, he would have no regrets.
If he won, that would naturally be the best. He could ascend to the upper realm.
If he lost—
He would be dead anyway. What was the point of thinking about these things?
Chu Li-fei still stood on the mountaintop, gazing at the rising sun, his long robes billowing behind him without wind, waiting with their master for the enemy who would come as agreed.
Before long, the sun had completely climbed into the sky, and the warm sunlight shone on Chu Li-fei’s face.
Along with it came a sword aura filled with killing intent.
The person had arrived.
Chu Li-fei summoned his natal sword. The silver-white sword was unsheathed, lightly deflecting the murderous sword aura.
His expression sharpened. He pressed down on his sword, slightly adjusting the angle. The warm sunlight, after being refracted, suddenly became incomparably cold, as if carrying the aura of winter. At the same time, a giant wave had already appeared behind Chu Li-fei, surging towards the immortal cultivators with the momentum to devour everything.
Great Vehicle Realm cultivators could communicate with the world. Chu Li-fei had a water spiritual root and was most skilled at controlling water. Even if there was no water around him, as long as he wished, all the water would move at his slightest thought.
He was the sole master of water in this world.
The two sides soon began to fight.
Chu Li-fei naturally faced Lu Mo-chen.
Compared to ten years ago, the other party had grown much taller, standing between youth and adulthood, not yet rid of his greenness but already possessing the handsomeness of an adult.
During the battle, the swords constantly scraped against each other, emitting crisp ringing sounds. Blue and golden spiritual power collided, forming a giant energy ball, which then exploded, stunning several nearby cultivators whose cultivation was not high enough.
But it was not enough.
They needed even stronger spiritual power.
Chu Li-fei frowned, spinning to create distance between himself and Lu Mo-chen.
Blue spiritual power gradually gathered, and a towering wave appeared behind him. The silver-white sword was gradually covered with a layer of light blue phantom, trembling slightly because of the vast spiritual power.
Seeing this, the immortal cultivators joined forces, gathering their spiritual power in the hope of withstanding Chu Li-fei’s attack.
The demonic cultivators also showed no weakness, stopping their actions and beginning to gather spiritual power.
The spiritual power between heaven and earth was gathering here at a considerable speed, forming a huge vortex. The sky changed color, gradually darkening, and even the thunderclouds that only appeared during tribulations emerged.
“Boom—”
Blinding lightning illuminated half the sky. The spiritual power of the two sides continued to entwine, but no one was willing to give up at this point.
It was a tug-of-war.
Many different kinds of spiritual power formed a huge sphere, constantly compressing, emitting a pressure that was impossible to ignore.
A gust of wind howled, slapping everyone’s faces.
Some cultivators, because their cultivation was not high enough, could no longer hold on. Even the spiritual power to maintain levitation was gone. After exhausting their strength, they fell straight down. It was only when their companions saw them that they spared a small amount of spiritual power to allow them to land safely.
It was daytime, but the sky had completely darkened.
The sphere made of spiritual power was still growing larger, and anyone could see the terrifying spiritual power hidden inside.
Finally, the spiritual power could no longer be compressed, and the huge sphere exploded with a bang. The aftermath of the explosion shook the people nearby hundreds of meters away.
Chu Li-fei, who was closest to it, bore the brunt of the impact.
“Cough—”
He spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling as if his internal organs were about to shatter, aching violently.
If Chu Li-fei was already like this, the others were naturally no better off.
But now was not the time to worry about injuries.
Because—
Heaven’s Path had appeared.
It was a nearly nothingness energy body, somewhat similar to the feeling of the system.
Enduring the severe pain, Chu Li-fei flew towards Heaven’s Path, sword in hand.
He had to seize this opportunity.
Overdrafting his whole body’s spiritual power as if he didn’t care about his life, Chu Li-fei was naturally in pain, but he could no longer care about these things.
Blue streamers of light gathered at the tip of his sword, and then, with all his strength, he stabbed towards Heaven’s Path.
“Bang—”
It sounded like glass breaking.
Chu Li-fei added a few more points of strength, and the long sword continued to penetrate deeper into Heaven’s Path’s body.
But how could a man-made sword fight against Heaven’s Path, which transcended the world?
“Ding—”
It was a small sound, but Chu Li-fei still heard it.
A crack appeared on the originally smooth, jade-like sword body, like an abrupt scar, and then more and more cracks appeared.
But Chu Li-fei still did not give up.
When the long sword completely shattered, Heaven’s Path’s body, like broken glass, scattered together, falling like fireworks.
Was he successful…?
Chu Li-fei released the long sword in his hand. The sword body had completely shattered and could no longer be used.
Something seemed…wrong.
Chu Li-fei was slightly stunned.
That feeling of being imprisoned by an unknown force,
Had not disappeared…
Chu Li-fei looked up.
Sure enough, behind the brilliant “fireworks,” an energy body gradually revealed its form.
This was the real Heaven’s Path!
What he had just shattered was just a projection of Heaven’s Path.
“Little mortal, you actually thought you could destroy me?”
“Ridiculous!”
“You are just a stepping stone for the person I chose.”
“A stepping stone should be aware of its role as a stepping stone—”
“Your death shouldn’t have been here.”
“Since you are unwilling to accept ‘fate,’ then say goodbye to fate.”
Heaven’s Path’s voice sounded as if it were issued by thousands of people together. Speaking, it easily caused the world to tremble, but it made Chu Li-fei’s head ache unbearably.
At the same time, a force carrying the laws of heaven and earth, an irresistible force, came towards Chu Li-fei’s direction.
It was the aura of death.
But Chu Li-fei had no other weapon to resist.
Human magic items could not resist the power of Heaven’s Path at all.
His spiritual power was also running out.
But Chu Li-fei still did not plan to give up.
Even if it meant perishing together.
Blood flowed from his seven orifices, and his black hair gradually became tinged with the color of frost. His vitality was rapidly fading.
The bright red color almost stained his entire body, and even his white hair was not spared. Chu Li-fei gathered the spiritual power in his hand and attacked Heaven’s Path.
Just as the two groups of spiritual energy were about to collide, suddenly, the power belonging to Heaven’s Path disappeared.
In the distance, another spiritual power collided with the power of Heaven’s Path.
Heaven’s Path became furious: “You!”
“You are the Heaven’s Chosen I chose. This person is just a stepping stone on your path to immortality!”
“Fool!”
Chu Li-fei looked towards the place where the spiritual power appeared, but he saw a familiar figure.
That figure was so small in his eyes, but he could still recognize it at a glance.
At this moment, that figure was tottering, as if it might fall from the sky at any moment.
“Lu Mo-chen—”
Chu Li-fei called out the other party’s name, and then caught Lu Mo-chen.
The severely injured Lu Mo-chen could no longer maintain his complete human form. A pair of furry ears popped out from his head, and a furry tail grew behind him, tickling Chu Li-fei’s wrist.
Then his body gradually became smaller, and eventually he could not even maintain his human form, turning into a small wolf.
Somewhat familiar…
Heaven’s Path’s attack continued, and Chu Li-fei had to overdraft his spiritual power, hoping to resist for a little longer.
His consciousness gradually blurred, and he even began to see double.
Suddenly, he seemed to see something.
Above the nine heavens, closest to the moon, an endless expanse of water was without a single ripple, quietly reflecting the figure of an immortal.
A long and intricate white robe was draped over the immortal’s body, adorned with golden bead chains, and red tassels hung on his body, like the only bright color under the cold moonlight.
However, no matter how bright the color, it could not compare to the immortal’s appearance.
Long white hair snaked all the way from behind him into the water, the ends slightly wet, outlining the immortal’s beautiful back.
It was a beauty that was beyond description. Anyone who saw it would only have one thought: to worship and pray for the immortal’s mercy.
Even a single glance would be enough.
Just then, a light footstep disturbed the peace of the place.
It was a ball of gray fluff.
A small wolf, but it turned around the immortal’s feet without hesitation, and then boldly climbed up the immortal’s clothes.
Falling into familiar arms, his nose twitched slightly, arching and sniffing everywhere in the immortal’s arms, until he completely confirmed who the owner of the embrace was, and then made a comfortable purring sound.
Unfortunately, from beginning to end, the little wolf did not open his eyes.
This was a blind little wolf.
The immortal skillfully smoothed the little wolf cub’s fur.
A touch of tenderness also appeared on his cold face.
“I’m going to undergo tribulation.”
He didn’t care whether the little wolf understood or not, and just continued to say to himself,
“Speaking of which, I’ve known you for so long, but I haven’t given you a name yet.”
After the immortal said this, his gaze rested lightly on the front.
Time became particularly quiet and peaceful.
The moon hanging high in the sky was bright and flawless, untouched by any dirt.
But he was the moon itself. In this dark world, only the stars always accompanied him.
The immortal held the little wolf and said:
“The stars are very beautiful.”
“So…become my light.”
“You shall be called Chen—”
“Is that alright?”
He put down the little wolf in his arms, then squatted down, full of tenderness, and said seriously to him:
“Before I leave, I will give you another gift.”
“My eyes, I will give them to you.”
“Use them to pursue your light.”
Chu Li-fei, holding the small wolf that Lu Mo-chen had transformed into, suddenly recalled this memory, still feeling somewhat unreal.
His pale hair gradually became lustrous, becoming smooth and growing longer, like fine silver-white silk.
The wounds on his body were also gradually healing.
Vast power returned to Chu Li-fei’s body again.
He was an immortal.
Heaven’s Path? To an immortal, it could only be considered a trainable beast.
He didn’t expect that he would just be going through a tribulation, but he was bullied by the so-called Heaven’s Path.
Chu Li-fei, who had regained his immortal power, just waved his hand, and Heaven’s Path didn’t even have time to wail before it completely dissipated between heaven and earth.
Heaven’s Path disappeared, and the spiritual energy of the entire continent revived again.
The dark sky was fading away bit by bit.
Suddenly, Chu Li-fei’s palm felt wet.
He looked down and saw Lu Mo-chen, who had turned into a small wolf, sticking out a pink tongue and licking his palm.
The crimson beast pupils stared at him without blinking.
Chu Li-fei amusedly ruffled his head and said in a deep voice, “I’m fine.”
Lu Mo-chen whined softly.
Then he rolled over, turning his soft belly over, signaling Chu Li-fei to touch it.
Chu Li-fei curved his eyes and did so.
In the past, the little wolf appeared in his long life like a shooting star, but now—
It wouldn’t hurt to give him more affection.
Perhaps on some day he didn’t realize, this attention had quietly undergone a qualitative change in a corner he didn’t even notice, becoming a habit, evolving into love.
Chu Li-fei thought, looking at the bright sky.
He touched Lu Mo-chen, who had turned into a small wolf, and smiled gently:
“Let’s go.”
