Chapter 651: Path to the Sky and Bloody Wounds (III)

A miraculous scene emerged . The already out-of-strength and almost dead Cai’er suddenly pushed her own body up alongside Long Haochen’s in a surge, making a movement close to a pouncing carp .

In the midst of this pounce, her right hand finally dug into that gate of light, but this had just exhausted all her remaining potential . While stretching her hand in front of the gate of light, Cai’er’s eyes opened wide, already devoid of light .

At the same time her right hand came into contact with the gate, that gate abruptly shone brightly, enveloping both Cai’er and Long Haochen who disappeared inside in a swish .

As Cai’er and Long Haochen disappeared, all the steps in view of Bright Glimmer of Hope disappeared as well .

Space twisted and refracted, and the next instant, the sixth floor regained its original appearance, the only difference being that Cai’er and Long Haochen weren’t there anymore .

Cai’er’s miserable condition and hysterical state were causing everyone to violently gasp for breath, with only one line of thought in them , Cai’er succeeded!

The bright light kept curling up, bringing Long Haochen and Cai’er into a gold colored world, filled with inexhaustible golden rays . Tiny traces of blood bleached and dyed the air, and dots of bright light circulated all around Cai’er’s body, making their way inside .

Even the blood on her lapel drifted back due to that bright light, slowly returning back inside her body .

Cai’er’s right arm was still stretched forward, with Long Haochen tightly under its embrace as if she was afraid of dropping his body off .

The injuries on Cai’er’s body recovered slowly, and all imperfect parts scattered to all direction, disappearing . Only her torn long skirt wasn’t restored .

The look on her face was still determined, even if it had lost all light .

In the golden world, following a deep long sigh, an aged voice sounded out, “Was it really worth it?”

The golden light vanished gradually, and Cai’er who had carried Long Haochen on her back landed lying on the ground . She seemed to be dreaming about the time the two of them had reunited back in Holy City for the Demon Hunt Competition .

They were holding hands, and walking alongside that road to the inn . . .

That road seemed to suddenly become endless; no matter how long they walked, they did not reach the inn . But they didn’t get fidgety at all, instead enjoying the warmth of each other’s hand .

The sounds of the cane in her hand tapping onto the ground kept reverberating in Cai’er’s world . Every time she turned back to look at Long Haochen, she would catch sight of that extremely loving and warm smile .

Their lives were melting together at once .

All the pain seemed to be forgotten like that, forever and ever . . .

But a lot of things frequently turn out differently from one’s wishes . The road in front turned illusory, and the next instant, the surroundings all became golden .

Cai’er was quite panicked, tightly gripping Long Haochen’s hand and shouting loudly .

“Haochen! Haochen!!”

The awakened Cai’er suddenly sat up, immediately catching sight of Long Haochen’s pale hands wrapped around her chest, and she immediately gripped them tightly .

Her body was really no longer feeling any pain, and even all her internal and external spiritual energy had come back .

Quite a few memories of the harsh pain she had previously experienced had remained . The hem of her skirt was still tattered since long ago, and she was unaware that her body was shaking greatly .

Remembering everything she just did, Cai’er raised her head to look around . This should be the seventh floor of the Tower of Eternity right?

As far as the eye could see, everything was gold colored . Compared to the sixth floor of the Tower of Eternity, this place was far smaller in volume . The circular hall made up a diameter of roughly thirty meters .

This was a dome , surrounded by a total of twenty golden pillars .

The surface, dome and surrounding pillars all contained countless golden magic infused runes .

The ground of the hall formed a huge golden hexagram, from which a thin golden fog arose .

At the center of the hexagram stood a huge coffin . Five meters long and three meters wide, this coffin was embedded with various precious gems, and not only gems but also magical beasts’ magic crystals and human spiritual pellets, none of which was below the ninth step .

So was this the seventh floor of the Tower of Eternity, eternal dwelling place of the Holy Necromancer, Slumbering Calamity Elux?

Cai’er stood up impatiently . After spending so much effort to come here, she was in the midst of getting her one and only chance to resurrect Long Haochen! But where was Elux?

“Was it really worth it ?” An aged voice suddenly reverberated in her head .

Cai’er unconsciously stepped back, staring at that huge coffin in front of her .

A white fog slowly ascended from the top of that coffin and in the sky surrounding it .

Very rapidly, this white fog turned into a human shape, looking the same as all the previous sculptures, it just didn’t have a lower body, which was just replaced by fog linked together with that golden coffin .

An aged face, extremely emotional looking, had a gentle look directed at Cai’er . Letting out a light sigh, he asked once again, “Was it really worth it?”

“It’s worth it . You’re the Slumbering Calamity Elux?” Cai’er asked with determination . Elux nodded and responded, “I am indeed the Holy Necromanncer and Slumbering Calamity Elux . Was it really worth it”

Cai’er wrinkled her eyebrows, “Of course it’s worth it!”

Elux let out a deep sigh, “What a good girl! I didn’t think that you would finally manage to complete all the trials I have set up in those years . You should know that the most unacceptable attribute in my eyes is your purifying attribute, so there’s almost no way you should be able inherit my legacy . ”

Hearing him, Cai’er immediately became greatly alarmed . She didn’t mind the inheritance at all, but this was pertaining to the matter of whether she would be able to resurrect Long Haochen! If the power from Elux’s legacy couldn’t be borrowed, wouldn’t all her efforts just come to naught?

“I am willing to inherit your power . You left the message that as long as one can attain this seventh floor of the Tower of Eternity, they could receive your legacy . Don’t tell me these words didn’t count?” Cai’er stubbornly stated .

Elux showed a faint smile, “I have never heard anyone adress this tone of speech to me in my living years . And yet you want to inherit my power . ”

Cai’er became sluggish, slowly kneeling in front of Elux, and bowing down to him, “Sorry, Teacher . I was in the wrong . I hope I can inherit your power, you must have a way right?”

Elux’s eyes pulsed at once, “All for the sake of this child on your back . This one should be my original successor right?”

Cai’er didn’t mutter a word, only continuously kowtowing towards Elux, her forehead rapidly turning red and swollen .

Elux waved his hand, and immediately, a spurt of golden light came out from the ground, supporting Cai’er’s body .

“You have already knocked your head on the ground enough . Indeed, I have a way to make your inherit my power . But if you inherit it, your original power of purification will completely dissipate, and your body will even consequently fester, turning you just like a zombie . This power of purification is originally entirely incompatible with my power of necromancy . Are you still willing even if it turns out that way? If you lose your beauty, do you really think that even if the one on your back is resurrected, he would still come to like you?”

“I am willing!” Cai’er replied with no hesitation .

“Are you not worried?” Elux seemed almost unwilling as he asked .

“

Cai’er shook her head with energy, “I am not worried .

”

“Then, please begin . ”

Elux took a deep look at Long Haochen, his look turning greatly emotional, causing that body formed of mist to distort slightly .

A long time later, he replied quietly, “His heart is already destroyed, giving him no more opportunity to live . Although his soul is intact, resurrecting him will be extremely difficult . First of all, he will need a live and fresh throbbing heart . ”

Cai’er raised her head to look at Elux, undoing the chains on her body, cautiously placing Long Haochen on the ground, laying him on the golden ground .

Taking a deep look at him, and gently caressing his face already empty of blood, she lowered his head and lightly kissed his forehead . Although this forehead was already devoid of warmth and was ice cold, that still gave her the feeling of a living person . Her cute face displaying a faint smile, Cai’er slowly stood up, raising her right hand which flashed in black light as the Sickle of the God of Death appeared in her palm .

“……”

“You are right . Actually, he should be your successor . Please resurrect him . As for the heart . . . ”

Cai’er smiled, full of sincerity . This instant, she looked as charming as a myriad of blossoming flowers . Even the Holy Necromancer Elux who was already dormant for several thousand years couldn’t help but blank out upon sight of her smile .

“Please use mine . ”

In a flash of black likght, the Sickle of the God of Death in Cai’er’s hand was flipped back, aiming its sharp blade toward her own chest . She had the absolute confidence of being able to extract her own heart intact and leave it in the spot of his one . This seemed to be a perfect ending . This way she would be able to stay forever at his side, which is why her smile was sincere . She could already feel the cold blade of the sickle pierce through her skin, and in just an instant, her blade would cut through her chest and cautiously extract her heart .

“Not allowed . ” Golden splurges of light burst out from below, clashing against the Sickle of the God of Death, and taking away the massive weapon, although a trace of blood had still appeared amidst Cai’er’s chest .

Elux declared in fury, “What a girl! Is he really worth you doing such a thing for him? Don’t you know that this purifying blade has soul purifying properties? Even if you are the one using it on yourself, in case your vitals are pierced by it, an inevitable death will follow . No force will ever be able to bring you back to life!
