Watching as Chen Hao leapt off the cliff, it wasn't long before the night sky was illuminated by a fiery glow from the base of the mountain. The violent crackling of the fiercely burning forests filled the air below, thick smoke billowing up to the mountaintop, carrying with it the pungent smell of char.

Feeling the complete disconnection from the Nether King's Heart and Chen Hao's Yin Soul, Ye Yuqiao, her face ashen, fell to her knees, clutching her head as she wailed aloud.

Chen Hao was gone, completely gone. There was to be no reincarnation, nor transmigration. Ye Yuqiao recalled the plaintive and desolate sound of the flute; remembered the swordsman in white; remembered the stubborn and dynamic Chen Hao holding her hand in the setting sun's afterglow; remembered that bastard who always loved to hold her and kiss her...

Shortly after, Ye Yuqiao rose to her feet and moved instantaneously to the edge of the cliff, looking down.

At the foot of the mountain, molten lava was everywhere, fiery light scattering in all directions, with hot air and thick smoke billowing, a scene of utter destruction!

"Chen Hao, I'm coming to join you! I remember Wind Girl once told me that you said if I were gone, you wouldn't want to live alone! Now that you're gone, I will not live alone either!" Ye Yuqiao sobbed.

Having said that, she spread her arms wide and jumped off the cliff.

Watching Ye Yuqiao throw herself off the cliff for Chen Hao, King Ning felt a sense of compassion and thus released the Yin Souls of Xie Xiaofeng, Tang Jing, and Tang Chao, whom he had trapped in the Realm of King Ning.

After Xie Xiaofeng, Tang Jing, and Tang Chao awoke, they smelled the char in the air and saw the rolling smoke reaching for the sky and the chunks of lava around them corroded by the Purgatory Fire, they looked at each other in confusion, before Xie Xiaofeng asked, "What happened? Where are Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao?"

"Dead!" said King Ning, floating in the air.

Xie Xiaofeng, Tang Jing, and Tang Chao then looked up at King Ning, their expressions grave.

"That lad tried to save you three by absorbing the Purgatory Fire. Ultimately, before he could be consumed by the Purgatory Fire, he jumped off the cliff; the girl followed him in a lover's leap shortly afterward!" King Ning explained expressionlessly. Then he waved his hand at the three below him and said coldly, "Go down the mountain, the three of you. I won't kill you!"

"No! Impossible!" Tang Jing shook her head, tears streaming down her face. She turned to Tang Chao, clutching his hand convulsively and said, "Brother, it can't be, Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao can't be dead! Chen Hao had an immortal body, didn't he?"

Tang Chao had a mournful look on his face as he stared back at Tang Jing, tears shimmering in his eyes.

"Is that bastard Chen Hao really dead?" Xie Xiaofeng looked incredulous, his eyes filled with despair.

..

"Chen Hao, Chen Hao!" a familiar voice echoed in his ears.

In the darkness, Chen Hao did not know whether his eyes were opened or closed;

all was silent, not even the faintest breath or whisper of air could be heard;

he felt utterly insubstantial, with no awareness of his own being or soul.

Suddenly, a yellow light illuminated the darkness, and then a shadowy figure appeared within the light.

Chen Hao had seen this shadowy figure twice before. After Ye Yuqiao had unlocked the seal at his Dantian, it was this figure that had appeared in Chen Hao's mind, imparting various Yin Yang Arts, the drawing of talismans, and incantations.

"Where am I?" Chen Hao thought to himself. He tried to ask the shadowy figure, but could not make a sound.

"This is your consciousness!" the shadowy figure said, able to hear Chen Hao's thoughts.

Chen Hao was startled and thought about how he had ended up here.

The shadowy figure answered Chen Hao immediately: "Your Yin Soul has been completely burned away by the Purgatory Fire; it was your final obsession before death that brought you here."

Last obsession before death? The image of Ye Yuqiao immediately came to Chen Hao's mind.

At that moment, the vision of Ye Yuqiao jumping off the cliff for him appeared in this space of consciousness.

"Yuqiao, why were you so foolish!" Chen Hao was deeply agitated within.

"Do you want her to die?" the shadowy figure asked.

Of course, Chen Hao thought, he did not want that!

"I can resurrect your Yin Soul, but you must promise me one thing."

"What is it?" Chen Hao asked in his mind, thinking he would agree to anything to save Yuqiao.

"You must promise to unleash the power in your left eye! Otherwise, once you come back to life, you will be burned by the Purgatory Fire and your Yin Soul will be destroyed again!"

Without hesitation, Chen Hao agreed to the condition in his mind.

"Why should I trust you?"

Because, I love Yuqiao!

"Good, then are you ready to unleash the power of your left eye?"

Wait a second! Who are you? Why do you want to help me? Chen Hao thought anxiously.

"You will know who I am one day, but now is not the time!"

The yellow light disappeared! The shadowy figure also vanished.

Intense burning pain once again stimulated Chen Hao's nerves.

Chen Hao knew that his Yin Soul had been revived.

His first thought was to tell himself to erupt, he had to erupt.

He felt the purple bud flickering over his left eye and shook it with his mind.

As his desire grew stronger, the purple bud shook more violently.

"Yuqiao, Yuqiao, wait for me, wait for me!" Chen Hao thought urgently.

He yelled at the budding flower in his mind!

..

Steam rose hotly, landing on Ye Yuqiao's cold face.

At that moment, with her eyes closed, she was reminiscing about everything she had experienced with Chen Hao during this time.

"Chen Hao, I'm coming, I'm coming to be with you!"

She didn't know how much time had passed. The heat beating on her was getting hotter, and Ye Yuqiao stopped breathing as her mind went blank.

Suddenly, Ye Yuqiao felt light as a feather and then felt her body rising, while the temperature of the surrounding heat was dropping.

She opened her eyes!

"Am I dreaming?" Ye Yuqiao murmured, as Chen Hao holding her in front of her looked so real.

Chen Hao smiled slightly, then leaned in to kiss her. After feeling the warmth and faint breath from Chen Hao's lips, Ye Yuqiao woke up in shock. "Chen Hao, is it really you?"

Chen Hao didn't answer but kissed Ye Yuqiao.

A kiss was the best response.

Half a minute later, their lips parted, and by then Ye Yuqiao was in tears. She held Chen Hao's face, examined it closely, and asked crying, "What in the world is going on?"

"We'll talk after we defeat King Ning," he said.

"Okay!" Ye Yuqiao nodded and then rested her head on Chen Hao's chest.

Ye Yuqiao had already felt it, the Nether Eye Power in Chen Hao's left eye had undergone a qualitative change—it had become the Nether King's Heart!

Two minutes later, Chen Hao carried Ye Yuqiao back to the summit of Jade Peak.

At that time, Xie Xiaofeng, Tang Jing, and Tang Chao were sitting around together, some crying out loud, some silently nursing their grief.

"Everyone, we're back!" Chen Hao shouted from afar.

"Ah!" Xie Xiaofeng, Tang Jing, and Tang Chao looked up, their faces filled with disbelief.

After a long moment of stunned silence, the three got up and ran to Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao.

"What in the world happened?" exclaimed Xie Xiaofeng, both shocked and overjoyed.

Tang Jing stopped her tears and said with a tearful smile, "I knew it, the bastard and Yuqiao wouldn't come to harm!"

Tang Chao stood to the side, scratching his head and grinning foolishly.

"King Ning!" Chen Hao shouted towards the Sky King Hall, "Come out here!"
