Chapter 1376: The Battle of Awakening

"Ruxi, hurry and let Chen Yu take you away, don't worry about me." Li Jie's voice was sorrowful: "Don't throw your life away for me anymore."

"Aunt, you are the only relative I have left in this world, how could I possibly leave you behind?" Tears slowly fell from Liu Ruxi's eyes: "Don't worry, I will definitely save you."

Liu Ruxi's state of mind was now like a roller coaster, at times rushing to the peak, at others plunging down from the summit.

Deep within her heart, something seemed to flash by; she tried to grasp these things, but they were impossible to catch.

She understood that the thing she was trying to grasp but could not capture was the Heavenly Dao.

If she truly comprehended the Heavenly Dao, then that would be the moment of her awakening, but unfortunately, she was always just a little bit short.

Xiaowei was currently locked in a fierce battle with Chen Yu in the Dark World; the black energy suspending Li Jie gradually grew faint, Li Jie's body constantly sank, and beneath her feet lay the endless Earth Flame.

If she fell, she would likely turn to ash immediately.

"Chen Yu..." Liu Ruxi tried several times, but she could never grasp that strand of Heavenly Dao Power deep within her heart; she looked at Chen Yu with a look of desperation.

And Chen Yu was currently keeping his eyes tightly shut, a layer of white frost slowly appearing on his face.

In the Dark World, Chen Yu was suppressed by his opponent again; such beings all shared a common trait, which was that their Mental Power was extremely vast.

It was so powerful that they could create their own realm, but the Xiaowei before him was different from the things he had encountered before; she did not create her own world, she had pulled Chen Yu directly into the Dark World.

This ability was truly terrifying; although Chen Yu could not be said to be defeated, he was unable to communicate with the heavens and earth while in the Dark World.

He could only struggle to fight the opponent using his own Primordial Qi, and the Primordial Qi on his body was also being stripped away bit by bit.

With a sword strike, he forcibly exerted his Primordial Qi to push the opponent back, and Chen Yu panted slightly.

Being unable to communicate with the power of heaven and earth meant that his Primordial Qi could not be replenished.

And since this place was not the real world, there was absolutely no power of the five elements for him to utilize, so the consumption of Primordial Qi within his body grew ever greater, making him a spent force.

Xiaowei could not control the time in the Dark World for long, so she would never give Chen Yu a chance to catch his breath.

Her figure flickered, transforming into six phantoms, and she attacked Chen Yu once more.

Chen Yu forcibly raised Li Chen, slashed away four of the phantoms with one sword, and then he suddenly stepped forward, swinging Li Chen in his hand to attack the Xiaowei before him.

His Original Power was restricted, so he could not distinguish which of the Xiaoweis before him was real and which was fake.

With another sword strike, he slashed one of the clones into smoke and dust; Chen Yu turned his head abruptly, and a strand of black energy transformed into a sharp blade, piercing into his body.

The Xiaowei behind him was the real one; her face was ferocious, staring fixedly at Chen Yu.

The sharp blade in her hand was formed from Dark Power, and a cold chill went straight into Chen Yu's body.

In this instant, his blood seemed to be on the verge of freezing, and the successful Xiaowei laughed out loud.

"I succeeded, haha, I possess the power of Regeneration; from now on, who in this world can stop me?" Xiaowei laughed wildly.

"Aren't you being a bit too smug?" Chen Yu grinned, slowly lifting his head, a flash of dark light passing through his eyes.

"Do you still have the strength to resist now?" Xiaowei sneered: "Just obediently submit, Chen Yu."

"I can't resist, but you've brought your consciousness into the Dark World for so long, you can't hold on much longer yourself, can you?" Chen Yu grinned, taking a slow step forward.

Sss... The sharp weapon in Xiaowei's hand had almost pierced through his body, and as the Dark Power invaded Chen Yu's body, flames flared up where he was injured, burning his wound even wider.

"Are you so impatient to die?" Xiaowei was slightly stunned, not knowing what Chen Yu was doing.

"Heh, is it really that easy for me to die?" Chen Yu said, taking another step forward, the blade running through his body.

Xiaowei suddenly felt that something was wrong; he was about to counterattack, and once he got close, it would be difficult to break free.

She shouted in anger, pulling her right hand outward, attempting to extract her weapon from Chen Yu's body.

But it was already too late; Chen Yu grabbed the void with his right hand, mustered his Primordial Qi, and locked onto Xiaowei's aura, making it impossible for her to escape.

"The Dark World is indeed not my home turf, let's go back out." Chen Yu sneered, a flash of dark light in his eyes, and the two instantly returned to the real world.

In the real world, Chen Yu's body was covered in a layer of white frost; after his consciousness returned, he staggered back a few steps, feeling a surge of blood and Qi in his chest.

Xiaowei had been flung far away by him, having been forcibly dragged back by Chen Yu, which left her both shocked and furious.

She pointed her right hand into the void, and the mass of black energy suspending Li Jie suddenly snapped; Li Jie's body fell rapidly...

Just at this moment, Chen Yu leaped up, his body soaring into the air, and he forcibly saved Li Jie; then he landed on the ground, his face as pale as paper.

The power of Regeneration was slowly repairing his injured areas; the piercing wound left in his left chest by the Dark World had been extremely ferocious and terrifying.

The power of the Dark World was very strange; even though Chen Yu possessed the power of Regeneration, it would take a very long time to fully recover from the wounds on his body.

During this time, he was unable to fight.

"Chen Yu, are you okay?" Liu Ruxi hurriedly ran over, asking nervously.

"I won't die, but I'm unable to fight anymore." Chen Yu gave a bitter smile and said: "Where is your aunt?"

"Aunt..." Liu Ruxi hurriedly looked toward Li Jie on the side.

"I'm fine too, Ruxi, hurry and go." Li Jie said with difficulty.

"Thinking of leaving now, I'm afraid it won't be that easy." Xiaowei slowly stood up, her two hands wreathed in swirling black energy, and she laughed wildly: "Green Lotus Jade Bone, Regeneration, you really are heaven-sent gifts delivered to my door."

"What exactly do you want?" Liu Ruxi said angrily.

"I don't want anything, I just want to simply possess your abilities." Xiaowei slowly walked forward, sneering: "Before you awaken, I will harvest your Green Lotus Jade Bone."

"Then I will dig out Chen Yu's heart to possess his power of Regeneration; from then on, I will become a true human, and in this world, no one will be able to do anything to me."

"Let them go, I'll stay." Liu Ruxi blocked the way in front of Chen Yu.

"Why are you being so foolish?" Chen Yu said with some helplessness: "Even if you stay, she won't let us go."
