Chapter 943: A Twist of Fate

Ye Yuan poured his soul force into Yue Mengli recklessly, trying to reverse the decline.

However, Yue Mengli's life was now draining away at an alarming rate, and despite Ye Yuan's desperate efforts to stem the flow, it was a lost cause.

"Damn it! Soul Suppressing Pearl, aren't you supposed to be powerful? Save Li'er!" Ye Yuan shouted in panic, cursing.

At this moment, the only means Ye Yuan could think of was the Soul Suppressing Pearl!

But no matter how he cursed, the Soul Suppressing Pearl showed no response.

Soon, Ye Yuan's soul force was completely depleted, while Yue Mengli's soul was growing fainter and fainter, on the verge of disappearing.

Ignoring everything else, Ye Yuan's soul shot into Yue Mengli's sea of consciousness and merged with her soul.

He frantically injected the essence of his own soul into Yue Mengli's soul, hoping only to save her!

Injecting the essence of the soul was equivalent to burning his own soul. Even if he could save Yue Mengli, he himself would hardly survive.

Ye Yuan was saving Yue Mengli at the cost of his own life!

Indeed, under Ye Yuan's almost insane act, Yue Mengli's soul finally regained some vitality and condensed again.

Seeing this, Ye Yuan was overjoyed and injected his soul essence into Yue Mengli's soul even more recklessly.

For a moment, their souls began to blend seamlessly.

"Hmm... Ye Yuan, what... what are you doing? Do you want to die?"

Finally, Yue Mengli regained some awareness and discovered Ye Yuan's crazy actions, startling her.

She knew very well what Ye Yuan's actions meant!

But Ye Yuan didn't care, smiling brightly: "I can't bear to watch you die. Don't worry about me, keep practicing the Ink Flow Soul Separation Art and split your soul! Hurry, or we'll both die!"

Yue Mengli bit her lip, her heart bleeding.

She never imagined that practicing the Ink Flow Soul Separation Art would lead to such an outcome.

If she had known this would happen, she would rather die than practice it.

But she knew Ye Yuan was right. If she hesitated, they would both die!

Now, all she could do was complete the soul split as quickly as possible, so that Ye Yuan could stop injecting his soul essence into her.

Yue Mengli's tears flowed like a broken dam, streaming down endlessly.

Crying, she activated the Ink Flow Soul Separation Art to speed up the soul split.

At this moment, the pain of splitting her soul was nothing compared to the agony in her heart!

Yue Mengli felt as if someone was taking a knife and cutting out her heart piece by piece.

Gradually, Yue Mengli's soul grew thicker and stronger, while Ye Yuan's soul became fainter and fainter.

His life was fading away rapidly.

Suddenly, Yue Mengli's body trembled, and her soul finally split in two!

The Soul Separation Pill and Ye Yuan's soul essence were frantically repairing her wounds.

"Ye Yuan, stop!" Yue Mengli felt as if she was suffocating, shouting hoarsely.

Ye Yuan's illusory soul smiled faintly: "Li'er, don't worry. I don't believe it will let me die!"

Yue Mengli was stunned, and before she could understand, she felt a blur before her eyes and suddenly found herself in a dark space.

Arriving in this dark space, Ye Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and detached himself from Yue Mengli's soul.

"Ye Yuan, you... are you alright?"

Yue Mengli was still a chaotic mass—no, two chaotic masses. The voice came from within this chaos.

Ye Yuan's body was extremely dim, as if it could dissipate at any moment.

"Now that we're here, we should both be fine! Quickly, activate the Ink Flow Soul Separation Art and restore your original form!" Ye Yuan said.

Although she didn't understand what was happening, Yue Mengli did as he said.

Just then, the dark space began to shimmer with specks of light, like a brilliant galaxy, breathtakingly beautiful.

Soon, Yue Mengli restored her original form, and surprisingly, she turned into two Yue Menglis.

Yue Mengli silently chanted an incantation, and one figure directly merged into the other, becoming one!

Seeing this, Ye Yuan forced a smile: "Hey, it's finally done! From now on, you won't have to suffer the pain of soul splitting!"

But Yue Mengli didn't care about that. She stepped forward to support Ye Yuan, chiding: "You're too reckless! Consuming so much of your soul essence at once, you'll die! If you die, what meaning is there for me to live on?"

When Ji Qingyun died, Yue Mengli was devastated, even though she had no relationship with him then.

Now that she had Ye Yuan's acknowledgment, she had tacitly pledged her life to him. If Ye Yuan died, she would unhesitatingly follow him!

Ye Yuan smiled faintly: "I said we would reach the peak together! If you die first, what meaning is there for me to laugh across the Divine Realm? Though I'm not entirely sure, I knew it would save me! I just didn't expect it to bring you in as well."

Yue Mengli's eyes flickered with curiosity: "What is it? Where are we? It seems... our souls are imprisoned."

"This is the Soul Suppressing Pearl space. As for what it is, I can't really say. But it must be an extraordinary divine object!" Ye Yuan said.

At that moment, the countless specks of light began to move, converging toward Ye Yuan!

The specks of light landed directly on Ye Yuan, causing his body to condense again.

Seeing this incredible sight, the usually composed Yue Mengli gaped in astonishment.

"This... how miraculous! These specks of light can actually replenish your soul essence!" Yue Mengli marveled.

The essence of the soul, like a martial artist's blood essence, was the most fundamental existence.

Moreover, once the essence of the soul was depleted, it was even harder to replenish than blood essence.

Just now, Ye Yuan had nearly exhausted his soul essence to save her, reaching the point of utter exhaustion, on the verge of perishing at any moment. Yet these specks of light directly restored Ye Yuan's soul essence.

This scene was too miraculous!

Ye Yuan smiled: "This is nothing. Last time, my soul was almost torn to shreds, and the Soul Suppressing Pearl helped repair it."

Yue Mengli was startled, gaining a deeper understanding of the Soul Suppressing Pearl's miraculous nature. She hadn't expected Ye Yuan to have encountered such a perilous situation.

Seeing her curiosity, Ye Yuan recounted his encounter with the demon god Garuda in the Burial Ground, which made Yue Mengli's heart pound with fear.

"So there really is a Divine Realm in this world! With the demon god's emergence, the Divine Realm is likely to be swept by a storm of blood and slaughter!" Yue Mengli said worriedly.

Ye Yuan nodded but smiled bitterly: "What troubles me now is how we get out! Last time, I was trapped for a whole year!"
