Chapter 1386 - 1390: One Thought to Live, One Thought to Die

Bang!

With a huge explosion, Yun Hao's body completely burst apart, all his bones shattering.

At this moment, Yun Hao was only four steps away from stepping off the Bridge of Life and Death.

Yet, these four steps seemed like an insurmountable chasm, possibly never to be crossed in a lifetime.

At this moment, all that was left of Yun Hao was a wisp of his Primordial Spirit, being torn at by wraiths.

Curiously, Yun Hao's Primordial Spirit remained with eyes shut. Under the biting assault of countless blood-red wraiths, even the mighty gray Primordial Spirit, capable of devouring all things, was dimmed.

Gradually, the gray Primordial Spirit became nearly transparent, so much so that the blood-red wraiths in front could be seen through it.

Once the gray Primordial Spirit was entirely consumed, Yun Hao would effectively be dead.

Soul scattered to the winds...

However, just as the gray Primordial Spirit was fading away, on the verge of being swallowed by the blood-red wraiths and surrounding dense red mist—

Yun Hao slowly opened his eyes.

"So what if the world is bloodstained?"

"So what if many have been slain?"

"If spirits block me, I'll kill spirits; if deities hinder me, I'll slay deities; if Buddha demons obstruct me, I'll slaughter Buddha demons!"

With hands behind his back, Yun Hao shouted fiercely.

As his voice fell, Yun Hao took a step forward.

Boom!

In that moment, as Yun Hao took that step, the wraiths clinging to the gray Primordial Spirit exploded, all blasted away.

And as Yun Hao took that step, the gray Primordial Spirit, from nearly transparent, gradually solidified again, the Power of the Primordial Spirit once more surging forth.

The terrifying aura shocked the surrounding blood-red wraiths, causing them to tremble unceasingly.

There were three more steps ahead; once these three steps were taken, the Bridge of Life and Death could be crossed safely.

Yun Hao slowly lifted his leg, stepping out for the first time.

Crunch!

Crunch crunch!

The bones that had shattered due to the explosion suddenly reappeared, swiftly reconstructing a new Yun Hao: legs, arms, torso, and head.

Witnessing this astonishing transformation, the surrounding blood-red wraiths seemed to be provoked, wailing wildly and ignoring the fear of the gray Primordial Spirit, shrieking as they lunged at Yun Hao.

Like smashing an egg against a rock...

Every wraith that pounced onto Yun Hao's bones was devoured by the gray Primordial Spirit's power.

With the devouring of these wraiths, the force of the gray Primordial Spirit gradually increased.

He took the second step...

Flesh and veins began to grow on Yun Hao's bones, and in the blink of an eye, Yun Hao's entire form was once again perfectly revealed, no different from when he first stepped onto the Bridge of Life and Death.

And with the change in his body, the aura emanating from Yun Hao became ever more powerful, madly absorbing the surrounding blood-red wraiths and mist.

At this moment, Yun Hao resembled a massive vortex, drawing in countless wraiths and mist.

Or, more precisely, they were being absorbed by the gray Primordial Spirit within Yun Hao's Dantian.

Saving others... Saving oneself...

So that's how it is...

A hint of pride appeared on Yun Hao's face as he casually stepped the final step, successfully crossing the Bridge of Life and Death.

Slap!

As Yun Hao stepped off the Bridge of Life and Death, the surrounding blood-red wraiths vanished, and the dense blood-red mist dissipated entirely.

Everything seemed as if it had never existed.

"Return to dust, to dust, to soil, to soil..."

Turning back to gaze at everything returning to normal, Yun Hao whispered softly.

Misfortune hides within fortune, fortune arises from misfortune...

All fates are subject to change!

The Bridge of Life and Death is truly a thought to life, a thought to death...

This Bridge of Life and Death not only deepened Yun Hao's understanding of the Dao of Heaven, but also dissipated the pale aura within his body that caused petrification.

Turning his gaze to Chu Yan beside him, Yun Hao quietly waited.

At this moment, Chu Yan's eyes were tightly closed, a happy smile on her delicate face, unaware of what had happened.

Yet Yun Hao believed in Chu Yan, believed she could cross the Bridge of Life and Death safely.

In truth, explaining it simply, this Bridge of Life and Death merely evoked all the memories of those who stepped upon it, calling forth every experience of one's life to awaken the obsession within your heart.

Using this thread of obsession to incite the guilt and remorse in your heart from the past.

Just as with Yun Hao, the Bridge of Life and Death plunged him into an endless self-culpability for the killings, because he had killed too many.

And because of this, the mist Yun Hao saw was blood-red.

It could be said that for most of Yun Hao's life, he was immersed in killing, like a bloodthirsty Asura.

Blood could drive Yun Hao mad, and even cause him to lose his sanity for it!

Chu Yan had been cultivating for a long time and had remembered past memories, so her cultivation technique was certainly not inferior to Yun Hao's. She would definitely cross this challenge safely.

Sure enough, Yun Hao stood beside Chu Yan for only a short time before Chu Yan opened her eyes.

"Husband, you're finally awake. If you hadn't woken up, I would've gotten married and had children on the Bridge of Life and Death!"

As soon as Chu Yan woke up, she hugged Yun Hao and said coquettishly.

"Married and had children? With whom?"

Hearing Chu Yan's words, Yun Hao pretended to be very angry, daring to get married and have children behind his back.

"Fool, of course with you. This Bridge of Life and Death is useless against me, and I can even control it. On the Bridge of Life and Death, you were with me since you were very young. We were childhood sweethearts!

In your surroundings, I was the only girl, no Xiao Qiao, no Shishi, no Xiao Rou, no Mengqi and no Xiaoya!

Hehe, on the Bridge of Life and Death, you loved me very, very much. Whenever you saw another woman, you wouldn't even glance at her. Whatever I asked you to do, you'd do it, being so obedient!"

Chu Yan, with a tilted head, giggling as she narrated, everything following the play in her script.

"Silly girl, if we had known each other so early, you'd have had dozens of babies by now!"

Yun Hao affectionately pinched Chu Yan's little nose, then lifted her up, cradling her with both hands.

"Hmph, I don't want that. I'm not a little pig; how could I possibly have that many?"

"You are a little pig. Haven't you noticed that many piggy banks are shaped like little pigs? You little penny-pincher!"

"No, no, I'm not. You're the big meanie, I'll bite you!"

Chu Yan, dissatisfied, shook her head, opening her small mouth and biting Yun Hao's shoulder lightly.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Chu Yan's hands began groping Yun Hao's arms and chest, as if searching for something, but more like being cheeky!
