Chapter 1381 - 1385: Broken Soul Road

This teardrop actually wasn't affected by the explosion at all. It still fell straight down onto the ground and sank into the earth.

And at the spot where the tear fell, a fiery red, unknown flower suddenly began to grow at an astonishing speed.

Staring at this strange scene in front of him, Yun Hao was completely stunned.

"This is something she left for you, a Divine Artifact condensed from all the Cultivation of her entire life, called the Soul-Breaking Flower. You can take it as her way of repaying you, I guess!"

Chu Yan looked at Yun Hao, who was dazed on the spot, then slowly walked forward and spoke softly to him.

"All the Cultivation of her entire life?"

Yun Hao gently plucked the Soul-Breaking Flower and felt the chill seeping into his palm, as if he were seeing that proud girl again, the one who, at their first meeting, seemed to stand loftily up in the clouds.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be one of her main body's incarnations. It's just that she herself hasn't realized it yet!"

Chu Yan said softly, sharing her guess with Yun Hao.

"An incarnation? Impressive, impressive. Then if her main body finds out I killed her incarnation, will she come looking for me for revenge?"

Yun Hao put on a very scared expression, his big hand unconsciously wrapping around Chu Yan's slender waist.

"Very likely she will, you big bad guy. Just now, when Su Hongling left, that look she gave you was so tender!"

Chu Yan looked at Yun Hao, jealousy in her eyes, her little mouth puffed up in indignation.

"How could that be? That was just gratitude. My dear wife, you're overthinking it!"

Yun Hao shook his head again and again. As he sent the Soul-Breaking Flower into his body, he grinned wickedly and leaned in to kiss Chu Yan.

Chu Yan kept trying to dodge, but after hiding for half the day, she still couldn't escape Yun Hao's assault and was finally kissed hard by him.

"Mmm, I'm about to suffocate! Are you trying to murder me so you can go have fun with Xiaoya and the others?"

Chu Yan wiped her mouth with her small hand in a tsundere manner, tilting her little head to look at Yun Hao.

"Oh no, you actually found me out. What a failure!"

Yun Hao laughed wickedly, scooped Chu Yan up, his big hand supporting her butt, and the two of them stepped into the entrance to the fifth trial together.

As soon as they entered the fifth trial, Yun Hao and Chu Yan felt a wave of scorching heat rush at them, as if it wanted to roast them until they melted.

Fortunately, thanks to Su Hongling's warning, Yun Hao immediately set up a small Array on both of them.

This Array didn't have any particularly powerful abilities, but it could effectively block the invasion of that heat.

Bringing Chu Yan along, Yun Hao first used their current location as the center and walked about an Hour in each of the four directions. After going back and forth several times and returning to the original spot, he determined that the two of them should be at the due north of the fifth trial.

"Come on, let's go take a look at this Broken Soul Road and see just how dangerous it really is."

Yun Hao gazed ahead, a hint of resolve flashing in his eyes, then took Chu Yan's hand and walked forward.

According to the image Su Hongling had shown him, no matter where someone was transmitted to when entering the fifth trial, they would have to pass through multiple dangers on their way toward the center—Broken Soul Road, River of the Dead, Bridge of Life and Death—before finally reaching the Immortal Locking Array at the end.

And this Immortal Locking Array was the hardest to overcome and the most dangerous. Countless experts in the past had fallen within this Immortal Locking Array.

So, if Yun Hao and Chu Yan wanted to reach the very center and obtain the inheritance of the Immortal Tomb Forbidden Land, they would first have to pass this first checkpoint: Broken Soul Road!

As they walked, the waves of heat around them gradually faded away, replaced by a bone-piercing, chilling wind.

The Wind of Corpses—when those who sought the inheritance died, their corpses piled up over countless years, spontaneously generating gust after gust of yin wind that could strike directly at a person's Divine Soul, even shatter it on the spot.

Feeling the gusts of Wind of Corpses howling around them, Yun Hao simply pulled Chu Yan into his arms. The gray Power of the Primordial Spirit on his body slowly spread outward, absorbing the Wind of Corpses that lashed against them.

Sure enough, while this gray Power of the Primordial Spirit still couldn't devour that pale aura,

its devouring effect on the Wind of Corpses was extremely good.

"Hubby, your Primordial Spirit turned gray?"

Chu Yan suddenly turned her head, asking in a small voice.

"Yeah, what about it?"

"Nothing, I was just curious."

Chu Yan shook her head, unable to conceal the joy shining in her beautiful eyes.

Yun Hao didn't pay it much attention, because he'd noticed that his entire left hand had already completely turned to stone, and the petrification had spread to half his arm.

So at the moment, Yun Hao's left arm was almost entirely hidden in his sleeve, so Chu Yan wouldn't notice.

After a long while, a straight gravel path appeared in front of the two of them, and on both sides of this path were sheer, ten-thousand-zhang cliffs!

Strangely enough, these cliffs existed only on the two sides of this path; the areas beyond them had none.

The feeling was bizarre, as if someone had built this gravel path right in midair above the ten-thousand-zhang abyss.

Broken Soul Road!

Looking at this gravel path, these three words surfaced in Yun Hao and Chu Yan's minds.

It was exactly the same as the one in the image Su Hongling had shown him.

"Steady your mind. Don't let yourself think about anything extra."

Yun Hao tightened his grip on Chu Yan's small hand with his right hand and reminded her softly.

"Don't worry, hubby, I'm very tough."

Chu Yan nodded firmly, and in her heart she added, Hubby, even if you turn completely into stone, I'll still guard you forever.

In fact, Chu Yan had already noticed the changes in Yun Hao's left hand long ago. It was just that Yun Hao never brought it up, so she kept pretending not to know.

But in Chu Yan's heart, her resolve was already firm.

The two of them nodded at each other and stepped onto the Broken Soul Road hand in hand.

This road was not long, about a hundred meters—an ordinary person with good explosive strength could cross it in a dozen seconds.

Let alone Yun Hao and Chu Yan, these two super experts, who could Instant Teleport across many such distances in the blink of an eye.

It was just that above this gravel path, a dense web of Array Restrictions had been laid. Forget using Immortal Yuan Technique to fly—even trying to mobilize the Immortal Yuan in their bodies was completely impossible.

Walking slowly along the gravel path, Yun Hao and Chu Yan kept their hearts extremely calm, not daring to let any stray thoughts appear in their minds.

The hundred-meter-long path was just about to reach its end.

When suddenly, a voice sounded in both their minds.

"Hubby…"

"Wifey…"

The voices echoing in their minds were precisely each other's voices.

Almost reflexively, the two of them turned their heads to glance at one another, each thinking the other had called them.

Because the two of them cared so deeply about each other, the moment they heard the other's voice, their first instinct was that something might have happened.
