Chapter 608: Fallen Demon Tribulation

"Chen Yu, what's wrong?" Ye Qingning, who had just started a fire nearby, saw Chen Yu collapse to the ground. She was startled and hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to help him up.

But the moment she touched Chen Yu's body, she couldn't help but gasp; his body was terrifyingly hot. She hurriedly helped Chen Yu to a flat spot, took out a clean white silk scarf, dampened it with some water from a small pool nearby, and then placed it on Chen Yu's forehead.

Suddenly, Chen Yu grabbed Ye Qingning's hand and said sternly, "Li Qingwan, your heart is so cruel."

"Chen Yu, I am Ye Qingning. What's wrong with you? Don't scare me." Ye Qingning gripped Chen Yu's hand tightly.

But Chen Yu had already fallen into a deep sleep, and even in his dreams, he still held her hand without letting go.

Just at this moment, the Mountain Demon King at the entrance had already driven the Gu toward the cave, but unfortunately, there were Gu-Repelling Talismans posted inside, so they dared not enter for the time being.

Chen Yu's consciousness remained in that ethereal world.

Scenes from his past and present lives surfaced before his eyes like a movie.

These scenes were not hallucinations, but things he had truly experienced.

Everything from his past life with Li Qingwan—that beautiful face had finally turned cold and sharp.

In this life, he had been a pawn since birth, treated as a research subject by his own closest kin, abandoned, and then picked up by his foster father, Chen Wenzhong.

"Why do you all treat me like this? Why was I born to be someone else's pawn, in both my past and present lives?"

Chen Yu's hands clenched into fists, and a wisp of flame rose in his eyes.

The greatest tribulation before the Primordial Qi Realm: the Fallen Demon Tribulation.

Dharma Cultivators use their own strength to contend against the Heavenly Dao; the strong can even Break Through the Void, avoiding Reincarnation, acting contrary to the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, for any Dharma Cultivator entering the Primordial Qi Realm, the Dao Heart is a hurdle.

Following the Demon's movement, it tests a person's character; if one cannot pass this tribulation, one is bound to fall into the demonic path, with no hope of ever rising again.

Chen Yu's experiences from his past and present lives had overlapped, so he had experienced more than the average person, and thus the Heart Demon Tribulation he endured was heavier than others.

The various events of his past and present lives overlapped, forming a fireball that made it impossible for Chen Yu to breathe.

In reality, Chen Yu's body grew hotter and hotter. Ye Qingning kept dampening the silk scarf and applying it to his body, but it was of no use.

In his stupor, Chen Yu trembled slightly; a heat wave rampaged through his body, and it felt as if his body were about to explode.

"Chen Yu, what should I do? What exactly is wrong with you?" Ye Qingning threw herself over Chen Yu. She could see that he was enduring immense pain, yet she was helpless on the sidelines.

Watching Chen Yu's body shake more and more violently and grow hotter, Ye Qingning suddenly gritted her teeth. She stood up, unfastened her waist, and her clothes slid off.

Her graceful, naked body was thus displayed before Chen Yu, but unfortunately, Chen Yu was currently experiencing the Fallen Demon Tribulation and could not see this scene that would drive any man mad.

Ye Qingning turned and entered the cold pool, burying her body deep in the water.

The cold pool water was bone-chilling; she gritted her teeth and held on for dear life.

After a full five minutes, she walked out of the pool and pressed her entire body against Chen Yu.

Chen Yu's body had been shaking violently; the dual torture of spirit and body had brought him to the verge of collapse, and he was nearly on the brink of falling into the demonic path.

Suddenly, a cold, delicate body pressed tightly against him, and a head rested on his chest.

A cool sensation surged into his body, causing his extremely irritable state of mind to suddenly calm down in that instant.

Seeing that Chen Yu was no longer trembling and his condition seemed much better than before, Ye Qingning felt a surge of joy. She hugged Chen Yu tightly, hoping he would wake up.

But immediately after, she felt a change in Chen Yu's body; a pair of hot arms held her tightly, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

"Chen Yu, thank you for everything you've done for me. What I give to you today is something I do willingly." Ye Qingning gazed at Chen Yu's face, smiled sweetly, leaned over him, and kissed Chen Yu's lips.

The cool Jade lips caused a fire to surge in Chen Yu's heart, and male instinct made him flip over abruptly.

In this instant, Yin and Yang merged; Chen Yu finally cast off the shackles of the demon in his heart, and then, the beauty in his arms made him fall, and the two held each other tightly...

It is unknown how much time passed before Chen Yu's consciousness gradually cleared.

This period felt like a dream; he felt he had had a very long dream. In his consciousness, when he was unable to extricate himself from the Fallen Demon Tribulation, someone had forcibly pulled him out.

Then there was a soft, delicate body in his arms. As for the intimate act that occurred, he couldn't quite distinguish whether it had truly happened or if it was a dream.

Chen Yu opened his eyes abruptly and sat up.

The Fallen Demon Tribulation had passed; he had now broken through the second level of the Taixuan Shengqing Realm, reaching the "Primordial Qi Realm" of a Dharma Cultivator.

This life-and-death battle had nearly cost him his life and nearly caused him to fall into the demonic path, but fortunately, he had pulled through at the final moment.

He sat up abruptly and found Ye Qingning sitting to one side, poking at the campfire.

Ye Qingning's hair was slightly messy, and there were still two blushes on her face, but there was a hint of charm in the way she looked at Chen Yu, making her appear very alluring.

As for the previous intimate act, Chen Yu really didn't dare to think about it.

He only had Ye Qingning by his side, but she was the eldest daughter of the Ye Clan. Although she had previously shown an interest in him, Chen Yu believed she was just saying it to encourage him to make it out of the Witch Clan.

Therefore, he was even more convinced that the previous event was a dream.

"You're awake?" Ye Qingning tried hard to remain calm. "You scared me to death just now. Your body was terrifyingly hot, and you kept talking nonsense."

"I... did I do anything?" Chen Yu asked cautiously, fearing that what happened earlier wasn't a dream, but reality.

If it really were reality, wouldn't he have to take responsibility for this eldest daughter?

"You were so unconscious, what could you have done?" Ye Qingning's expression was calm.

Since Chen Yu couldn't remember what happened, she wouldn't bring it up again, lest he feel guilty toward her.

Chen Yu rubbed his dazed head; his eyes gradually cleared, and he slowly stood up and said, "Let's go."

"But the Mountain Demon King is still outside. How are we going to get out?" Ye Qingning was startled. She suddenly felt a change in Chen Yu.

She couldn't say what the change was; she only felt that Chen Yu's aura was more powerful, and every move he made was in harmony with the Heavenly Dao.

For instance, as he stood there, it was as if he was meant to stand there; the Heavenly Dao was as such.

"Him?" Chen Yu smiled. "Not worth worrying about."
