Fantasy: Sign-in From The Womb, Born As A Major Antagonist

Chapter 333 Parting! The Dark Temple At The End Of The Desert!

Listening to the gentle sound of the system in his ears, Ji Xiu wholeheartedly entered a state of enlightenment and cultivation.

At this moment, the entire seven floors of the Tongtian Tower were so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Gu Yao, Ning Xiyan, and Mo Qingxian all had solemn expressions, with a faint aura of mysticism emanating from their bodies. The little princess Xing'er slept peacefully, her beautiful face filled with tranquility and serenity. The chubby little girl smacked her lips as if she were enjoying a delicious meal in her dreams, her adorable gluttonous appearance was extremely cute!

As she watched this scene, Lu Xiyue couldn't help but smile. Her smile was natural, not like the pure smile she had put on before. This time, she was sincere.

"Ning Xiyan, since you have obtained the inheritance of the Twelve-Winged Archangel, I am reassured that you will be by his side in the future," she said.

"Little Gu Yao, I leave the Northern Abyss Demon Realm to you. When the new era comes, perhaps you will be his best sword and also be able to clear obstacles for our demon race," she continued.

"And...sister...my dear sister, I hope everything goes well for you!" Lu Xiyue's beautiful eyes swept over Ning Xiyan, Gu Yao, and Mo Qingxian, and finally landed on Ji Xiu's face.

She silently watched Ji Xiu for a while, her enchanting purple eyes filled with unprecedented complex emotions...gratitude, regret, reluctance, and attachment!

She had never told Ji Xiu that her world had always been blank until she saw him in her dreams. Since then, her world had become more interesting. She had never treated her marriage to Ji Xiu as a game or a performance. She took the wedding ceremony seriously, and every vow she made was sincere, even if no one believed her.

In her world, there were two days that she would never forget. One was when she ascended to the position of Demon Emperor, and the other was the day of her grand wedding with Ji Xiu. It seemed that only on these two days did she feel truly alive, and only on these two days could she sense the warmth and joy of life.

Lu Xiyue took a deep breath and quietly spoke to Ji Xiu, "Husband!"

"In the future, you will be the Demon Emperor!"

"And Banruo will be your Empress!"

"I know that with you and Banruo in the Nine Heavenly Demon Domain, you will surely be immortal and reach the pinnacle in the new era."

"You and her will do better than me, this detestable Demon Emperor!"

"By then...you and her will be able to see a scenery that I have never seen before!"

"I don't know why...but I truly envy and admire it!"

After saying that, she leaned down and gently kissed Ji Xiu's forehead, not a deep kiss, just a light touch. But this kiss was more heartfelt and passionate than any before.

After the light kiss, Lu Xiyue took one last look at Ji Xiu, then turned around and decisively left the Tongtian Tower.

No one knew that she had caught a glimpse of the future, where a strand of darkness would devour the entire Nine Heavenly Demon Domain.

As the Demon Emperor, she never forgot her responsibilities, so there were some things she had to do!

Now, she had done everything she could in the Demon Realm. She hoped for a better future for the demon race, even if she wasn't a part of it!

She, still without hesitation!

...

But, when Li Yue left the Heavenly Tower, she headed north and arrived at several altars in the Life Forest. Without hesitation, she stepped onto one of them.

Clang!!!

Stardust fell, and a brilliant light shone beneath her feet. She took one last look at the Heavenly Tower before her figure disappeared on the altar.

And after her figure disappeared...

A gentle breeze blew, and fallen leaves danced in the air. A breathtaking figure slowly emerged from the shadows of the Celestial Forest. As soon as she appeared, the whole world seemed to lose its color.

"Li Yue!"

"I have found you, my emperor!"

Li Yue spoke coldly and then stepped onto the altar with graceful steps.

Clang!!!

The light of the altar surged, and her figure slowly disappeared into the Celestial Forest.

As her figure vanished...

Under the cold night sky, the Celestial Forest returned to its former silence. Only a few withered yellow leaves fluttered above the mysterious altar... A sense of inexplicable desolation filled the air.

...

The Ancient Celestial Land, the Eternal Desert!

The cold moonlight hung high in the sky, casting a beautiful glow.

In the Eternal Desert, endless yellow sand buried countless bones. The vast desert seemed to have no end in sight, and its eerie atmosphere sent shivers down one's spine.

Clang!!!

A purple meteor streaked across the sky and headed towards the end of the desert.

At the boundless end, there stood a dilapidated ancient temple. This was Li Yue's destination!

"We've arrived!"

Li Yue arrived at the broken temple with her hands behind her back. She had dreamt of this place many times, and now she had finally arrived. She knew that this was the final destination of her destiny.

Just then, the sound of bells rang out from the temple.

Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!

It wasn't just the sound of bells.

She could faintly hear someone striking a bowl and reciting ancient scriptures.

Shaking her head, Lu Xiyue did not hesitate and stepped directly into the ancient temple. At this moment, she saw an old man wearing tattered robes kneeling in front of a strange stone statue, twirling Buddhist beads and chanting incomprehensible Buddhist scriptures.

"It's you, isn't it?"

Lu Xiyue stared intently at the old man's withered figure and spoke softly, questioning him.

As her words fell, the bell stopped ringing and the Buddhist scriptures disappeared.

The old man turned his head with difficulty, and at that moment, moonlight swept across his face, causing Lu Xiyue to furrow her brows suddenly...

This old man had no trace of flesh on his face, only a skeleton. In his eerie and terrifying hollow eyes, there were no pupils, only two flickering ghostly flames.

"The Ghost Emperor?"

Lu Xiyue's pupils contracted. Although she didn't recognize this skeletal being in front of her, she recognized the ghostly flames in his eyes.

It was the Ghost Fire, the sacred fire of the ghost clan that had been extinguished in the previous era.

And this Ghost Fire could only be inherited by the Emperor of the Ghost Clan, so his identity was self-evident.

"Intruders... of... the... Sacred... Temple... shall... die!"

The Ghost Emperor opened his mouth, enunciating each word. Countless thick black qi surged out of his mouth, while a destructive force akin to a tsunami engulfed Lu Xiyue.

...

Inside the Tower of Heaven.

Ji Xiu suddenly opened his eyes, abruptly interrupting his state of enlightenment and waking up.

It seemed that Lu Xiyue had also used the Heavenly Enlightenment Lotus. Therefore, Lu Xiyue knew that once she sat on the lotus, she would irreversibly enter a state of enlightenment. However, what Lu Xiyue didn't expect was... that her source of power was the Holy Yuan. With the Holy Yuan, she had reached the pinnacle of control over her body and consciousness.

In that case, the state of enlightenment could naturally be interrupted at any time.

"So, she has everything planned!"

"She wants to sever the cause and effect of this Immortal Burial Ground herself?"

Ji Xiu shook his head and took a step off the Heavenly Enlightenment Lotus.

At this moment, Xing'er also opened her eyes. She looked at Ji Xiu with bright eyes and then stepped off the Heavenly Enlightenment Lotus as well.

"Xing'er... where are you going?"

"Wherever Ji Xiu goes!"

Xing'er reached out her jade-like hand and tightly held onto Ji Xiu's arm. A radiant smile bloomed on her exquisite and beautiful face, like starlight.

"Awu!"

Little Fatty rubbed her eyes and woke up too. The little girl looked at Ji Xiu and Xing'er in confusion, then got up and pounced into Ji Xiu's arms, happily saying, "Master!"

With one hand holding Little Fatty and the other hand holding Xing'er, Ji Xiu was a little dumbfounded. Both of these little ones could wake up on their own?

"Kaka, how did you wake up from the state of enlightenment?"

Ji Xiu asked curiously.

"State of enlightenment?"

"What's that?"

Little Fatty looked at Ji Xiu with a naive expression, her big black eyes filled with confusion.

"Yeah!"

"What's a state of enlightenment?"

Xing'er also looked puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiu instantly understood. These two little girls didn't even know what a state of enlightenment was, so naturally, they wouldn't enter that state. It was like an ordinary person sitting on the Heavenly Enlightenment Lotus, would it be of any use? Obviously not!

With this thought, Ji Xiu felt speechless.

"Master, where are you going?"

Little Fatty asked curiously.

Hmm...

Ji Xiu made a soft sound and casually said, "To kill."

Just now, during the one-hour state of enlightenment granted by the Heavenly Enlightenment Lotus, he didn't comprehend any new Imperial Laws. However, he did understand the effect of the Immortal Burial Compass he had signed before!

Hmm... This effect seemed to be a bit heaven-defying!

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on Ji Xiu's lips.
