Huowu, engrossed in the ‘Great Dao,’ felt a gentle tug on her shoulder.
“Husband, Xiao Yi!”
This was perhaps the first time she had stopped ‘advancing’ and looked back at the path she had traveled.
In that instant of turning, what entered Huowu's eyes was that dignified, yet infinitely tender, pair of amethyst-gold dragon eyes.
“Honestly, leaving me behind and walking so far, I might cry.”
That familiar voice, in the form of spiritual transmission, directly flooded Huowu's soul.
The undisguised love and sorrow struck her soul, and a sense of reluctance surged within her, causing a single, clear tear to fall from the corner of her eye.
Huowu's eyes were slightly clouded, her divinity and humanity intertwined in her pupils.
However, like a moth drawn to a flame, Huowu instinctively began to move in the direction of the amethyst-gold light.
But, just as she began to move in the opposite direction, her soul was suddenly engulfed by an intense tearing sensation, causing her soul to emit a shrill scream.
Because half of her soul, tainted by divinity, was being tightly pulled by a powerful force, preventing her from leaving.
“Ah! It hurts so much!
But, I must go back!
Behind me, there are still people waiting for me to return.”
The pain of a torn soul was dozens of times more excruciating than physical pain, but this pain also completely awakened her.
Illusion and reality had no boundaries—no, illusion will always be illusion, and reality will always be reality.
If all of this had no boundaries, it would mean that all her experiences with Quan Yi would be meaningless.
The joy, pain, and happiness of all her memories would be completely blurred, becoming dispensable existences.
She absolutely could not allow this to happen.
At this moment, Huowu completely awakened from the false sense of omnipotence.
Even though she was still surrounded by an all-powerful sensation, and the entire universe revolved within her soul.
However, at this moment, all of this became irrelevant.
“What is reality, and what is illusion?
I don't need you to tell me; I'll decide for myself!”
Huowu looked at her lower body, which was firmly trapped, her eyes completely devoid of confusion, filled only with resolute will.
She controlled half of her soul, desperately pulling outwards.
The pulling from both sides immediately caused her complete soul to tear apart.
“Ahhhhh!”
Huowu was personally tearing apart her own soul; the unimaginable pain caused her consciousness to become chaotic.
The damage to her soul, even if it was only a small crack, was immeasurable.
However, amidst the chaos, the amethyst-gold light before her was like a beacon guiding her, supporting her as she moved in that direction.
Quan Yi's gaze pierced through the vast distance, seeing Huowu's efforts and pain.
His heart aching, Quan Yi further accelerated his speed.
Just now, he had used the Eye of Truth to penetrate countless obstacles, finally finding Huowu's soul in a mysterious space.
If Quan Yi hadn't used his purple energy to transform his golden dragon eyes into amethyst-gold dragon eyes, evolving the skill, he would have spent much more time, and by then, it might have been too late.
With the evolved Eye of Truth, Quan Yi transmitted his spiritual power and worked together with Xiao Hong to awaken Huowu ahead of time.
“Damn it, heart, beat faster!”
Xiao Weng and Wutong sensed an incomparably powerful aura piercing through the thick Yangquan heat and rushing towards them at high speed.
It was a blazing white figure.
“It's Quan Yi!”
“What speed!”
Xiao Weng was surprised by Quan Yi's swimming speed underwater; it had only been a few breaths since the message was sent.
Reaching his destination, the blazing white light dissipated, and Quan Yi scanned the soul ring with his amethyst-gold dragon eyes, conveying mentally: “Don't worry, I'll handle it.”
This simple sentence, like a weight of a thousand pounds, calmed the anxious hearts of the two.
They almost blindly believed that the man before them would eventually come up with a way to solve the current problem.
Quan Yi turned his gaze back to Huoying.
At this moment, Xiao Hong was struggling to hold onto Huoying; under its influence, the speed of the martial soul's dissipation had clearly slowed down.
But without Quan Yi, the martial soul alone could not fully function.
Its power could at most pull Huowu's shoulder, unable to pull her back completely.
Quan Yi immediately reached out to Xiao Hong, who was firmly holding Huoying; the dragon body liquefied, covering Quan Yi's arm and connecting with the overall martial soul.
Six-colored elemental brilliance flowed, and the traction between the Dark Gold Yang Dragon Armor and the Huoying martial soul greatly increased.
Under Quan Yi's full drive, his arm inserted into the phantom seemed to pass through a space gate, disappearing from the phantom.
At the same time, that stable and strong arm appeared in the space where Huowu was located.
Quan Yi's arm did not disappear; instead, it partially merged with Huoying, entering its internal space.
This was not a simple fusion; it was more like devouring, and Quan Yi could feel a strange force pulling him.
Quan Yi frowned slightly; the situation was worse than he had expected.
“Relying solely on the physical body, it is impossible to touch the location where Huowu is located.
Without Wutong's blessing, it is also impossible to use the perspective fusion technique.
It seems that I can only do this.”
Having made up his mind, Quan Yi's brow relaxed, and his face was full of peace.
In the next moment, Quan Yi's body emitted a bright light, transforming into energy light spots, all merging into Huoying.
Intense energy fluctuations erupted during the fusion process.
The light of fusion dissipated, leaving only half of Huoying, which had stopped collapsing.
Quan Yi's figure completely disappeared from this space.
Inside a phantom Huoying space, Huowu's soul was struggling.
At this moment, a dazzling, colorful figure suddenly appeared beside Huowu.
This was Quan Yi's soul, who had successfully entered Huoying's interior through the martial soul fusion technique.
In Huowu's gradually blurring vision, the amethyst-gold light that pointed the way suddenly disappeared.
The interruption of the light caused Huowu to despair, mistakenly thinking that her connection with the outside world had been completely severed.
But at this moment, a figure that haunted her dreams suddenly appeared before her eyes.
She said in disbelief: “Why did you come in!”
Seeing Quan Yi standing in front of her, Huowu's heart was occupied by immense joy, but in addition to the joy, she also felt self-blame and worry.
Torn between joy and worry, Huowu shed tears again.
Quan Yi's soul body reached out and wiped away the tears; the tears had no moist touch, only Huowu's soul fluctuations.
“I am very possessive; don't think about leaving me behind.”
Quan Yi glared fiercely at Huowu, replied, and then turned his gaze to the half of Huowu's body that had been swallowed.
Amethyst-gold halo circulated in his eyes; observing from the inside, without any obstacles, Quan Yi could finally clearly see the internal space.
Rather than a space, it was more like a window.
It was an observation window for observing the myriad laws of the universe from the perspective of standing in the light source of the sun.
