Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me-Chapter 516 - 478 Because You Were Tricked by Me_1

"So if I destroy this thing, can I beat you?"

Lu Chuan looked at the black orb, feeling the terrifying Yin evil force within. He dared not touch it directly with his hands.

If he had not guessed wrong, this orb was the reason why Ao Wuchang was so confident.

Ao Wuchang was still in the midst of his pride when he lifted his eyes to look in Lu Chuan’s direction after hearing his words. He was shocked when he noticed that his Demon Core had somehow made its way to Lu Chuan’s side, causing the Yin evil force around him to become chaotic.

He quickly checked his own body and found that the Demon Core had indeed disappeared, his voice becoming sharp, "My Demon Core! How could you remove my Demon Core without a trace, this is impossible!!!"

Lu Chuan grinned and said, "Seems like you really rely on this thing for your confidence. Since that’s the case, I’ll destroy it now!"

"No!!!!" Ao Wuchang rushed towards Lu Chuan, trying to stop him from destroying the Demon Core.

But how could Lu Chuan give him the chance? He raised his hand and released the Sun’s True Fire, igniting the Demon Core.

The Demon Core burst into flames instantly, and then, to everyone’s surprise, it exploded, sending shockwaves that blasted both Lu Chuan and Ao Wuchang away.

Yu Sisi on the ground watched the explosion in the sky with her mouth agape, then quickly found a place to hide.

She knew about Ao Wuchang’s Demon Core; she knew it was formed from him absorbing the Yin evil force in the Devil’s Cave for a full thousand years.

A thousand years of accumulation had indeed reached an extremely terrifying level, and the Demon Core would get some enhancement in the Devil’s Cave too. It was not a problem for Ao Wuchang to claim that he was invincible within the Devil’s Cave.

The Demon Core was Ao Wuchang’s core and would definitely be heavily protected. Under normal circumstances, one would have to first destroy Ao Wuchang’s bones to have a chance to destroy the Demon Core. She thought Lu Chuan would surely follow this line of thought in dealing with Ao Wuchang, so she did not inform Lu Chuan about the Demon Core in advance.

But who could have thought that Lu Chuan would steal the Demon Core from Ao Wuchang’s body from a distance!

No matter who it was, their head would surely be buzzing.

The explosion lasted for a long while, but the Devil’s Cave, being a special existence, was not affected much by it.

Lu Chuan used the remaining power in his body to withstand the shockwaves from the explosion, then looked in the direction where Ao Wuchang was.

After the explosion of the Demon Core, the Yin evil force around Ao Wuchang also began to burn.

He let out a heartbreaking scream. Although his face was not visible, the sight of the Yin evil force burning at his facial features was enough to convey the twisted agony he was enduring.

As the explosion slowly dissipated, the flames on Ao Wuchang’s body gradually faded, leaving behind a charred skeleton that fell to the ground, shattered to pieces, and was undoubtedly dead.

Lu Chuan was still not at ease, cautiously flying over, then releasing another Sun’s True Fire, completely burning Ao Wuchang’s bones to ash, before he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Though the battle seemed simple, it had taken a toll on Lu Chuan. Just using the Thief’s Gourd to steal Ao Wuchang’s Demon Core had almost drained all his Spiritual Power, leaving him weakened. If this method had not eliminated Ao Wuchang, he would have been left only with the option of being counter-killed.

After confirming that Ao Wuchang had been thoroughly dealt with, Lu Chuan returned to where Yu Sisi was.

Yu Sisi hurried over, her face full of concern as she asked, "How are you? Are you hurt?"

Lu Chuan replied with a smile, "I’m fine, just need to recover for a bit."

Yu Sisi nodded quickly and said, "Then you recover first. There’s only one threatening demonic monster in the Devil’s Cave. Once it was dealt with, there should be no more trouble. You don’t have to worry about other dangers."

Lu Chuan nodded, then took out a bottle of elixir pills, swallowed them, and began to recover his strength, sitting cross-legged on the ground.

Yu Sisi sat beside him, resting her chin on her hand, tilting her head as she stared at him. Seemingly reminded of something, she suddenly began to smile, but after a short while, tears started to fall, drop by drop.

After a while, Lu Chuan had somewhat recovered. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Yu Sisi with tears streaming down her face and was momentarily stunned.

"Why are you crying?"

Yu Sisi quickly wiped away her tears and replied, "I remembered some things from the past. Is it wrong to feel nostalgic?"

Lu Chuan chuckled and said, "Miss Sisi, I have to say something to you. Even if memories of the past are beautiful, we should still look ahead. You see, we’ve solved the problem with the demonic monster in the Devil’s Cave. I will also help you get rid of the trouble that has plagued you for a thousand years. After that, you won’t be troubled by the Yin Freezing Water anymore and will regain your freedom. Everything will develop in a better direction, and you will experience even more wonderful things in the future."

Upon hearing this, Yu Sisi showed a bitter smile and muttered softly, "But... I have no future left."

Lu Chuan didn’t hear clearly and asked, "What did you say?"

Yu Sisi smiled and said, "Nothing."

Lu Chuan didn’t mind and asked, "Right, you mentioned earlier that Ao Wuchang wanted to refine you into his ghost servant but ended up being killed by you instead, and that’s what turned him into a demonic monster in this Devil’s Cave. You must have just become a ghost at that time, how did you manage to kill Ao Wuchang?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Sisi explained, "Because of that drop of blood I sent into your body."

Lu Chuan was slightly surprised, "That drop of blood?"

Yu Sisi nodded, "Yes, I was about to be refined by Ao Wuchang when, perhaps due to the unwillingness in my heart, an anomaly occurred within the Devil’s Cave, or perhaps because of certain persistent feelings in my heart, I moved the lingering consciousness of the terrifying entity within the cave. That drop of blood appeared before me at that moment and merged into my soul, giving me a unique power that allowed me to kill Ao Wuchang."

"Afterward, some information emerged in my mind, revealing that the drop of blood came from a terrifying entity who called itself the Demon Lord. This Devil’s Cave was a place where he cultivated, and the blood was left here during that time."

"According to that information in my mind, this drop of blood is a medium left by the Demon Lord to find his successor, and if one is recognized by the drop of blood, they may have the chance to inherit the Demon Lord’s legacy."

"Although the drop of blood helped me in my most desperate moment, I did not receive its approval. It’s likely that I have the potential to inherit the Demon Lord’s lineage in some aspects, but not enough yet. However, it’s comforting that over the past thousand years, whenever I faced desperate situations, it would unleash terrifying power to help me out of trouble, so I have always treated this drop of blood as my ultimate lifesaving measure."

Hearing this, Lu Chuan showed a look of astonishment on his face and said, "So you put this drop of blood into my body because you were worried I couldn’t defeat Ao Wuchang, so it could save my life?"

A teasing smile appeared on Yu Sisi’s face as she said, "What else? Or do you think I wanted to control you with this drop of blood to command you forever?"

Hearing this, Lu Chuan’s face was immediately filled with embarrassment. He never imagined Yu Sisi gave him the drop of blood to protect him, but he suspected her of harboring ulterior motives, wanting to control him with it, making him feel terribly ashamed.

"Sorry... I misunderstood you before," Lu Chuan said, scratching his head.

Yu Sisi snorted and said, "I told you, I will never have the intention to harm you."

Lu Chuan quickly said, "Then I should give this drop of blood back to you now."

Yu Sisi paused upon hearing this, then said, "There’s no need, I no longer require it. You keep it. Maybe you’ll get its approval and have the chance to inherit what the Demon Lord left behind."

Lu Chuan was slightly puzzled, "Don’t need it anymore? Why?"

Yu Sisi didn’t want to explain and urged, "Oh, why are there so many questions? You still have to help me get rid of the pain from the Evil-Suppressing Sword’s dripping water. Go take the Freezing Ice Stone out."

Lu Chuan, remembering he had a more important task at hand, nodded and flew up into the air.

At this moment, Yu Sisi also detached from Zhong Ling’er’s body and flew towards the hanging tablet.

She landed beside her own corpse, looked at her body that had died a thousand years ago and had long since lost any signs of life, sighed helplessly, and murmured, "In the end, the day has come."

Then her soul merged into the corpse, and in a short while, the exquisitely beautiful body began to stir and opened its eyes.

Lu Chuan reached the top of the Devil’s Cave and saw the conical rock dripping water down towards the Evil-Suppressing Sword. Then he released his Divine Sense, penetrating into the rock, and soon discovered the whereabouts of the Freezing Ice Stone.

Using Spiritual Energy as a blade, he cut open the rock, and immediately saw the Freezing Ice Stone hidden within.

The Freezing Ice Stone was entirely ice-blue in color, with a strong cold aura emanating from it. Lu Chuan merely approached it and felt as if his blood was about to freeze solid.

This was almost the perfect material for refining the Extreme Yin Water!

An excited expression appeared on his face, and he immediately wrapped the Freezing Ice Stone with Spiritual Power and took it out from the rock.

But just as he was excitedly observing the stone, the Evil-Suppressing Sword hanging below suddenly started to tremble violently and emitted a piercing sound of Jian Ming, as if expressing emotions of pain, quite intensely.

Lu Chuan immediately furrowed his brows and looked towards the Evil-Suppressing Sword. In the next second, as if reaching its limit of endurance, the sword suddenly exploded with a bang and shattered into pieces.

Below, on the stone slab, Yu Sisi, who had merged with the corpse, also let out a pained scream, her body twisting incessantly, and even the sound of bones breaking could be heard.

Realizing something was wrong, Lu Chuan hurried to the stone slab, helped Yu Sisi up, and anxiously asked, "What’s going on? Why did the Evil-Suppressing Sword shatter as soon as I removed the Freezing Ice Stone, and why are you in so much pain?"

Yu Sisi managed to squeeze out a smile on her face, gently touched Lu Chuan’s cheek with her hand, and said, "Fool, it’s because you were deceived by me..."
