Chapter 6067: Embracing Death

Long Xue ran up to Long Lin and grabbed the latter’s arm, exclaiming, “Long Lin, what are you planning to do?”

She also sensed that something was amiss.

Long Lin looked at Long Xue with gentle eyes. “Xue’er, I don’t have long to live. My life will at least have value if I die here. Young friend Chu Feng is a highly talented person. I believe he’ll have a way to treat your illness.”

With that, Long Lin suddenly disappeared. Long Xue was unable to stop him.

When he appeared once more, he was already standing before the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster, his previous subservience and fear replaced with contempt.

However, the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster was unfazed. He even provoked Long Lin, saying, “I have already told you that you can’t hurt me. It won’t make a difference no matter how many times you try...”

Long Lin smashed his foot on the head of the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster.

However, that only made the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster laugh even louder. “Hahahaha! What can a mere True G.o.d do to me? Do you think that humiliating me will make a difference to the situation?”

Long Lin laughed as well. The next second, he emanated brilliant golden flames that resembled his bloodline formation.

The Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster realized that something was amiss, but he couldn’t do anything under the suppression of the bloodline formation. He could only watch helplessly as the brilliant golden flames gushed inside his body.

“GAHHH!” the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster cried even louder than before.

The brilliant golden flames, having absorbed the bloodline formation’s energy, became even more frightening than the bloodline formation. The body of the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster was being swiftly incinerated.

“He... has prepared this hand too?”

The other Totem Dragon Clansmen looked conflicted.

Long Lin must have modified his body through the bloodline formation to release such flames. Not only was that a difficult feat, but using this skill would cost him his life too.

However, it did grant Long Lin the power to kill even a Heavenly G.o.d.

They finally understood why Long Lin had confidently declared that the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster would be a goner if he dared come here. It turned out that he had already thought of everything.

Long Lin had made a huge mess of the Totem Dragon Clan, but looking as his body swiftly burned off, the Totem Dragon Clansmen couldn’t help but feel respect for him.

So did Chu Feng and w.a.n.g Qiang.

“Elder!”

Chu Feng anxiously turned to Long Xue, having noticed a teleportation talisman in her hand. Before he could do a thing, she had already torn it apart, causing her to immediately teleport to Long Lin’s side, exposing her to the flames.

“Xue’er, why did you come here? Leave!” Long Lin tried to push Long Xue away.

The flame was so strong that Long Xue received countless burns right away, making it a struggle for her to even remain standing. Yet, she obstinately fumbled her way to Long Lin’s side.

“Take me with you.” Long Xue reached out to Long Lin.

“Don’t be silly, Xue’er. I don’t have long to live. This might be the best way for me to go out. But it’s different for you. Chu Feng can treat you. You have to live on!” Long Lin said.

Long Xue fell silent. She stopped advancing, but she didn’t retreat either.

“What’s wrong, Xue’er?” Long Lin was anxious. He shouted at Chu Feng and the others, “Someone, come here and take Long Xue to safety!”

“Don’t come!” Long Xue suddenly roared.

Her outburst shocked not just Chu Feng and the others but Long Lin too.

Long Xue finally raised her head to look at Long Lin. “Long Lin, I know you want me to live. However, do you think I’ll be happy surviving in this wretched state?”

Long Lin stiffened up at her pleading eyes. His eyes became dazed, and his lips quivered nonstop. He felt like something had just stabbed his heart.

He had devoted his life to saving Long Xue, but he had never thought about whether she was willing to live on or not. Long Xue’s eyes provided him with the answer to that question.

“My face is disfigured. My talent is gone. My friends have left me. My family scorns me. This world has long become another h.e.l.l for me. Even so, I have never sought death, not because I am brave, but because there has been a reason for me to live on.

“And that reason is you.

“Long Lin, I want to die so badly. I have thought of ending it all so many times, but I held back because I was afraid. I was afraid not of death but of never seeing you again. The days you were trapped in the Ancestral Martial Galaxy, do you know how tough it had been for me? Do you know how many times I have thought of seeking death?

“I only held on because I believed that you’d return for me. I don’t think I can last for even a single day if you are no longer around. Long Lin, take me with you. I don’t want to be alone anymore.”

Long Xue walked toward the blazing flames once more and reached out for Long Lin.

Long Lin had been disfigured by the flames, but his sobbing could be heard through the flames. He had never known that Long Xue had been in turmoil all this while, and she was only bearing with it because of him.

If he died, she would have no reason to live on.

Thus, he raised his hand, grabbed Long Xue, and pulled her into his embrace.

“I’m sorry, Xue’er. My obstinacy has hurt you,” Long Lin apologized.

Long Xue didn’t say a word. With closed eyes, she leaned against Long Lin’s chest with a satisfied smile.

The flames intensified, making it hard to see Long Lin and Long Xue’s embracing figures.

For a brief moment, Chu Feng thought he saw a younger Long Lin and Long Xue embracing amidst the flames, but everything reverted to normal when he blinked his eyes. He could no longer see the two of them but the raging golden flames.

The only thing he could hear other than the cackling flames were the weakening cries of the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster.

In truth, Chu Feng didn’t harbor much animosity toward Long Lin even though the latter had once schemed against him. Instead, he admired the latter for his courage in overcoming all obstacles for his loved one.

Even kins.h.i.+p couldn’t be counted on in the world of cultivation, where pragmatic interests took precedence over all things else. To most, love was just a legend.

Long Lin and Long Xue were the very few people in the world who proved that love existed in the world. They prioritized each other over everything else in the world. Perhaps, with Long Lin’s days numbered, it was a blessing for them to be able to die in each other’s arms.
