The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 621: Burning Lifespan

Chapter 621: Chapter 621: Burning Lifespan

"You need to get out of here fast!"

Qin Jun urged in an anxious telepathic message, while Samadhi Real Fire had already melted away most of the huge crystal, the red liquid inside beginning to flow downwards.

No one knew what the crystal was made of, requiring such a prolonged exposure to Samadhi Real Fire to melt, but the most astonishing part was the red liquid inside, which remained completely unaffected by the fire.

Liu Ruolai didn’t answer Qin Jun, instead, she looked up with a face full of determination at the White Bone Life-Controller Emperor, who was fast approaching.

Her slightly childish face showed no fear; she had been afraid before, but at this moment, the thought of protecting Qin Jun left her utterly fearless.

"If he dies, I’m sure I won’t be able to live either."

Liu Ruolai kept making excuses for herself, trying to muster courage, but even she didn’t want to admit that she dared not imagine the possibility of Qin Jun dying.

Since the first time she met Qin Jun, she had always seen him as incredibly strong and superior, as if not even the sky falling could disturb him. Their adventures together had also made her fall in love with him involuntarily.

But after discovering Qin Jun’s identity, and the great disparity in their statuses, she could only suppress her own feelings and continued to quarrel with him, hoping to make him unable to ignore her.

Now that they were both trapped in a desperate situation, the thought of dying for Qin Jun had actually stirred a warm feeling of happiness in her heart.

The White Bone Life-Controller Emperor suddenly accelerated, swiftly passing by Liu Ruolai’s side, reaching out to grab Qin Jun.

In an instant, Liu Ruolai’s pupils shrank, unable to react in time with her cultivation at the Golden Elixir Realm, but suddenly, a strange power burst forth from within her, making her reflexively swing her sword.

Clang—

A bone shield automatically formed behind the White Bone Life-Controller Emperor, blocking Liu Ruolai’s long sword.

At the same time, Sun Wukong, Li Yuanba, Chang’e and others flew back into action. By this time, Li Yuanba and the others had regained their senses; after fleeing a certain distance from the crystal island, they automatically came to and quickly returned to support Qin Jun.

But they had not expected that the crystal island would be enveloped by a barrier of light.

Without a second thought, Li Yuanba struck with his hammer, the Gold-Winged Hammer rotating as it tore through the air and hit the barrier, only to be repelled.

"This is bad! His Majesty is in danger!" Zhu Bajie cried out in alarm, hastily taking out his Nine-Toothed Rake and flying toward the barrier.

Sun Wukong, Chang’e, and Li Yuanba did the same.

Unfortunately, no matter how they attacked, they simply couldn’t break through the barrier, and keep in mind that Sun Wukong and Li Yuanba were both Daluo Golden Immortals.

On the other side, Liu Ruolai frantically swung her sword at the White Bone Life-Controller Emperor, her pretty face covered in cold sweat, because even with all her strength, she could not shatter the White Bone Life-Controller Emperor’s bone shield.

The White Bone Life-Controller Emperor ignored her, his right hand turning knife-like as it stabbed towards Qin Jun’s back.

Thwack—

Qin Jun’s pupils contracted as he saw his abdomen being pierced by the White Bone Life-Controller Emperor, blood sliding down the bones of the hand, intense pain causing beads of cold sweat to form on Qin Jun, but being a body cultivator who had experienced even more painful trials, he made no sound, just withstood the pain.

As long as it didn’t hit the heart, it wouldn’t threaten his life.

The huge crystal had completely melted, and the mysterious red liquid actually flowed towards his body on its own, enveloping Qin Jun completely, making him appear like a figure made entirely of blood.

"It’s this smell!"

The White Bone Life-Controller Emperor became inexplicably excited, retracting his right hand, which was now dyed red. He grabbed Qin Jun with both hands, his mouth wide open, ready to bite.

With its two meters height, it could easily bite off Qin Jun’s head.

"Stop!"

From a distance, outside the barrier, Li Yuanba roared hoarsely, nearly going berserk as he slammed into the barrier, trying to break through, but to no avail.

Time seemed to stand still, Qin Jun only momentarily visible through a pair of eyes, blank and empty, not noticing the White Bone Life-Controller Emperor behind him ready to devour him.

Boom—

The White Bone Life-Controller Emperor was suddenly knocked flying, crashing into a nearby crystal and shattering it.

Li Yuanba and the others were stunned, and even Chang’e’s beautiful eyes widened in shock.

Liu Ruolai was enveloped in an eerie white mana, with her hair disheveled and grasping a long sword, the blade covered with a layer of purple flames at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Liu Ruolai slowly raised her head, her expression cold as ice, and her whole demeanor seemed to have changed into someone else.

"You dare hurt him!"

Liu Ruolai said in a chilly voice, and immediately drew her sword and charged at the White Bone Life-Controller Emperor. Her speed was now many times faster than before, startling even Li Yuanba and Sun Wukong.

Clang——

The long sword pierced the chest of the White Bone Life-Controller Emperor, who seemed somewhat dazed and had not produced a bone shield to defend himself.

"What power is this..." the White Bone Life-Controller Emperor’s eyeballs fixed on Liu Ruolai, filled with bewilderment.

Not just him, Li Yuanba, Sun Wukong, Chang’e, Zhu Bajie, and Diting were all astounded.

How could Liu Ruolai, who was still only at the Golden Elixir Realm, suddenly become so strong?

The speed just now was almost catching up with the Daluo!

"Wrong! She’s burning her lifespan!"

Chang’e suddenly exclaimed, making others even more incredulous.

Burning lifespan?

Liu Ruolai’s right hand began to tremble, the sword blade slicing through the chest of the White Bone Life-Controller Emperor, but in the next second, she was kicked flying by a blow from the emperor, a powerful force making her spit out a spray of blood, her frail body smashing against a crystal and cracking it.

At the same time, Qin Jun was in agony, feeling as if his senses were sealed and his body was burning like fire, excruciatingly uncomfortable.

"Hold on! You’re about to become the true Inferno Demon God!"

The voice of Ji Yongsheng rang out in Qin Jun’s mind, filled with madness, starkly different from his usual calm.

"I’ve finally waited for this day!"

Qin Jun could hear his voice but could not pay heed, as his body’s discomfort intensified.

Boom boom boom—

The entire Crystal Island suddenly began to shake, and Qin Jun’s momentum skyrocketed at a rate that made Li Yuanba and the others stare in disbelief.

Liu Ruolai looked towards Qin Jun, her gaze full of tenderness and excitement.

"This time I will protect you, even if it means falling into reincarnation forever." Liu Ruolai murmured softly, an image of their first meeting appearing before her eyes.

It was a night, the waves were crashing on the beach, and she had found a young boy lying wounded, bathed in the moonlight on his face, looking peaceful and without pain.

She was Shouxin.

In a critical moment, the consciousness of Shouxin within Liu Ruolai erupted, followed by the burning of her life, making her cultivation surge.

Over the past eight thousand years, Shouxin had been reincarnated again and again, but because of a profound obsession, she spent each life searching for someone, someone she herself did not even know.

Finally, in this life as Liu Ruolai, she found that person.

Boom!

Liu Ruolai bent her legs and charged at the White Bone Life-Controller Emperor with such force that the crystal beneath her feet shattered.

Facing the onrush of Liu Ruolai, the White Bone Life-Controller Emperor’s eyeballs spun wildly, as if still puzzled as to how this woman had suddenly become so much stronger.

Clang! A sound rang out!

Liu Ruolai’s long sword was blocked by a bone shield, and despite her burning her lifespan and awakening the power of her past life, she still could not match the White Bone Life-Controller Emperor.
