Chapter 528 Both sides suffer losses
Chapter 528 Both sides suffer losses
Seeing this scene, Tao Yao's composure, that belonged to a primordial fairy, cracked for the first time.
Almost instinctively, she quickened her pace.
With each step, invisible peach blossoms bloomed and withered beneath his feet. In an instant, he traversed this void torn apart by the laws and arrived before that shattered figure.
"Xiao Heng?"
Her question carried a hint of urgency that she herself was unaware of.
"what happened?"
Tao Yao crouched down, trying to see the face shrouded in a deathly gray aura.
"Where's Xiao Mo? Why did you hit her so hard?"
As she approached, the figure that had been hanging its head, seemingly devoid of all life, finally reacted.
Eternity slowly, with difficulty, raised its head.
That beautiful face, which was always ethereal and untouched by worldly concerns, was now covered with dust and dried tear tracks.
That timeless tranquility was shattered, leaving only an overwhelming sense of resentment, anger, and a deep sense of grievance.
The moment she saw Tao Yao, the last shred of strength she had been holding onto crumbled.
Yongheng, dragging his broken and extremely weak body, suddenly lunged forward and crashed into Taoyao's arms.
Tao Yao instinctively reached out and hugged her, only to feel a sudden weight in her arms.
That petite body was trembling slightly, uncontrollably.
This left Tao Yao completely stunned.
She could clearly feel the sense of brokenness and helplessness emanating from the depths of Yongheng's soul.
The End...
What horrific things did they do?
What turned this little guy, who was always calm and collected, as if he wouldn't even blink if the sky were to fall, into what he is now?
No time to think about it.
Tao Yao reached out and began to gently pat Yongheng's back, trying to soothe her turbulent emotions.
Her movements were very light and gentle.
"fine."
"Don't cry, don't cry, I'm right here."
Those gentle, comforting words echoed in the deathly silence of the abyss.
However, upon hearing these words, Yongheng, who was in his arms, suddenly froze.
"She didn't cry!"
Her urgent and aggrieved explanation, tinged with tears, came from her mouth.
That last bit of stubbornness belonging to the eternal fairy made her desperately try to maintain what little dignity she had left.
Upon hearing this, Tao Yao simply smiled helplessly, but her movements became even gentler.
Eternity buried his face deep in her arms, and a muffled, resentful accusation echoed intermittently.
"I'm just... really upset!"
"So close...it was just a tiny bit more..."
"I can trap her completely! I'll lock her in an eternal cage! So she can never come out and cause trouble again!"
"It's all her fault! It's all her fault for cheating! Her power is completely unreasonable!"
"Why does such an unreasonable demonic authority exist in this world?"
"And why did she come to possess such fairy power?"
Listening to this incoherent complaint, Tao Yao roughly understood what had happened.
It was simply that Xiao Heng wanted to use the ingenious application of the Eternal Fairy to overcome the strong with the weak, but he was crushed head-on by Xiao Mo's even more unreasonable and absolute power.
Looking at the little one in her arms, trembling with emotion, she could only continue to patiently pat her back, offering silent comfort through her actions.
"Okay, okay, don't be angry anymore."
“I know you’re the best. It’s just that she lacks sportsmanship. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be in such a sorry state.”
"Next time, I'll help you teach her a lesson, okay?"
With Tao Yao's coaxing and soothing words, Yongheng's agitated emotions gradually calmed down.
She stopped speaking and simply nestled quietly in Tao Yao's arms, like a wounded little animal seeking shelter.
Tao Yao gently embraced him, comforting the eternal moment in her own way.
Once she had completely calmed down, Tao Yao spoke again, asking softly.
"Xiao Heng, where's Xiao Mo?"
Upon hearing the name, Yongheng snorted unhappily.
"She ran away a long time ago."
She struggled to lift her head from Tao Yao's embrace, as if trying to prove something.
"Yuan Chu, don't let my current disheveled appearance fool you. Actually, she's not in much better shape! I risked being severely injured by her to inject my power into her core, so she must be feeling terrible right now!"
Eternity did not finish its sentence.
Both she and the end suffered heavy losses.
But that also means she lost.
Because the power of the end times grows stronger as the world decays, while her eternal power is irreversibly weakening.
If she couldn't completely defeat him this time, she would have even less of a chance in the future.
As for why she had to leave, she wasn't really sure.
Perhaps sensing that the Primordial One was on its way, it feared that the Primordial One would help it deal with her.
or……
She simply didn't want to show her disheveled and injured appearance in front of Yuan Chu.
At this moment, Tao Yao looked at her feigned strength and felt both heartache and helplessness.
"All right."
She spoke softly.
"Let me treat your wound first."
As she spoke, Tao Yao's gaze fell on Yongheng's empty right shoulder.
There is nothing there.
There was no flesh or bones, only a pure void that seemed capable of swallowing even light.
Strands of pitch-black aura, like maggots clinging to bones, clung to the wound, relentlessly eroding it inwards, completely eliminating any possibility of repair from the very root of the concept.
This injury is a thousand times more terrifying than the final brand on Sakura's lower abdomen.
Tao Yao stretched out her hand, and a pink primordial power radiating a soft halo gathered at her fingertips.
She carefully directed this power toward the darkness that represented "the end".
However, the result made her heart sink.
The moment her primordial power touched that aura of the end, it melted away like ice and snow, easily assimilated and annihilated without even causing a ripple.
It is simply... impossible to restore.
Just then, Eternity's extremely weak murmur rang in her ears.
"it does not matter……"
"Originally, for the time being... he won't die."
Her consciousness was beginning to fade, and she was almost losing the strength to even keep her body moving.
"I'm just... a little sleepy..."
"I want to...sleep..."
Before she could finish speaking, she lost consciousness completely and collapsed limply to the ground.
Tao Yao quickly hugged her tightly again, looking at the face that had fallen into a deep sleep but still showed signs of pain and exhaustion, and a complex emotion welled up in her heart.
She lowered her head and gently rubbed the other person's head.
"It's okay, go to sleep, I'll stay with you."
