Chapter 1196: Chapter 1164: Celestial Fury: Divine Artifact
"What are you doing! Stop!!!"
On an altar atop a mountain peak, a powerful presence surged skyward.
Fairy Guanghan, her fragile form was at that moment clutching the [Demon’s Horn], with an overwhelming aura steadily flowing from her body into the [Demon’s Horn].
Seeing Fairy Guanghan’s face gradually contorted in pain, even a fool could sense something was amiss.
Moreover, Elda’s voice had just echoed in Lin Yi’s mind:
’She is burning the power of her remnant soul to help you refine that [Demon’s Horn].’
’This is... the legendary Divine Forging!’
Though Lin Yi didn’t understand why Fairy Guanghan would do such a thing, he knew that this act would cause irreversible harm to her.
Thus the scene at the beginning.
Lin Yi shouted repeatedly at the fierce woman ensconced by the aura, urging her to stop.
Yet the woman seemed utterly deaf to his words, not even glancing back.
Seeing that words were ineffective, Lin Yi prepared to intervene when Elda’s voice rang out again:
"You’d better not do that."
"Because once such a thing begins, it can’t be stopped midway."
"If you try to stop her now, she’ll die quicker."
"Oh no~ She’s just a wisp of remnant soul, won’t die... but she’ll be scattered."
At this moment, Lin Yi already held the Dragon Scale Sword in his hand and asked:
"If I do nothing, what would the result be?"
Elda paused in silence and replied:
"Even if the refining is successful, she will still be scattered."
Listening to Elda’s words, Lin Yi stood dumbfounded, the Dragon Scale Sword slipping from his hand:
"Clang~"
Facing the woman in utter agony, Lin Yi stood helplessly and roared:
"Can someone tell me what I should do now!"
In life, she died for love.
Now the last wisp of her soul must endure such torment and be scattered.
Faced with such a heavy ’gift’, for the first time, Lin Yi felt profound guilt.
Though none of this was what Lin Yi asked for.
If there were a choice, this would never be the outcome Lin Yi hoped for.
Regrettably, until now it all seems pre-arranged, giving Lin Yi no chance to choose.
While Lin Yi likes various Divine Armor, he never intended to harm others by it.
The Elf Dragon of Nine Nether Continent was like this;
And now it’s happening again.
Lin Yi despises the feeling of wanting to help but being powerless, forced to watch events unfold.
Suddenly, a weak voice echoed by Lin Yi’s ear:
"I think you can take this opportunity to ask me some questions."
"Though I don’t know much from this wisp of soul’s memory."
"I believe there must be something useful for you."
Lin Yi suddenly raised his head and looked towards the altar’s center at the suffering figure.,
As Lin Yi lifted his gaze, the figure seemed to want to return a smile.
Sadly, the immense pain filled her delicate face with uncontrollable distortion.
Then that frail voice echoed once more in Lin Yi’s mind:
"Quick, ask me."
"What do you want to know."
Lin Yi stood overwhelmed, looking back at that fragile form:
"You..."
Since the Elf Dragon of Nine Nether Continent sacrificed itself for him, Lin Yi’s eyes brimmed with tears again:
"Why help me?"
No sooner had Lin Yi spoken than that weak voice sounded in his mind:
"Because... fate."
"From the moment you stepped into [Guanghan Palace], your and my fate was already sealed."
"As I help you, I help myself."
Suppressing his pain, Lin Yi asked again:
"How can I help you?"
This time, after Lin Yi asked, the other did not immediately reply, as if astonished that Lin Yi would ask such an unrelated question at this critical moment.
After a short time, the woman’s weak voice eventually echoed again:
"Become stronger!"
Before Lin Yi could respond, the voice continued:
"Are you planning on wasting this rare opportunity?"
"I know what you’re thinking."
"But I must tell you, these choices are mine alone, unrelated to you."
By this point, Lin Yi could clearly sense the voice’s weakened aura.
Mindful of her sacrifice to the point of scattering her soul for him,
but he continued to waver like a woman, unable to face reality.
Enduring his heartache, Lin Yi asked:
"Where have the Celestial Beings gone?"
"How can I find them."
...
"The Celestial Beings have never left this world."
"The answer lies at [Celestial Saint Peak]."
Upon receiving this clear answer, Lin Yi’s heart trembled:
’The answer at Celestial Saint Peak?’
’Could it mean the whereabouts of the Celestial Beings are within Celestial Saint Peak?’
Yet Lin Yi distinctly recalled that ’Hongmeng’ had once told him the truth of the Celestial Beings’ disappearance lay in the yet-to-open [Paradise Island].’
’Could it be that they’re referring to different things?’
Now, time didn’t allow Lin Yi to sort the links between the two, but he asked again:
"What happened before the Celestial Beings vanished?"
"What is the demon with the horn?"
This time after Lin Yi posed the question, he received a response only after some time.
And this time, the female voice was weaker than ever:
"The Celestial Beings... never truly disappeared."
"That was... that... that was..."
Lin Yi painfully raised his eyes to look.
To see the powerful aura at the altar’s center had unknowingly become incredibly weak.
As the aura diminished, the previously pitch-black [Demon’s Horn], now appeared like a silver gleaming piece of art, emitting brilliance.
Having completed everything, Fairy Guanghan’s face wore a pleased smile.
That frail voice echoed again in Lin Yi’s mind:
"It’s... done..."
Those three short words seemed to strip away all her strength; ultimately she couldn’t reveal the ’demon’s’ true identity.
Under Lin Yi’s gaze, [Guanghan Jade] suddenly flew from the altar’s center.
Her form, however, directly transformed into light points, carried away by the wind.
It all happened so swiftly that Lin Yi barely had time to ask one final question:
"What is your name."
But Lin Yi received no response from her as the [Guanghan Jade] settled back into Lin Yi’s hands.
As the [Guanghan Jade] left that altar’s central gap, everything around reverted to its original state, as if nothing had transpired at all, wrapped in silence.
Looking at the entirely transformed [Demon’s Horn] and oh no... now it’s not called [Demon’s Horn] anymore.
