Ling Tian Sword God-Chapter 608 - 606: Affection_1

The breakthrough had begun.

After the Heavenly Earth Energy entered Xia Yunxin’s body, it quickly spread throughout.

With a suppressed groan, Xia Yunxin’s aura started to turn violent. Such violent Heavenly Earth Energy could not be casually withstood by an ordinary body. Without enough accumulation, trying to break through to the Sky Apex Realm would be nothing but a daydream.

Around her, a tremendously mighty force enveloped her, then was refined by her into True Qi which surged into Xia Yunxin’s meridians.

After about twenty or thirty breaths, Xia Yunxin’s aura gradually stabilized. However, she was still a hair’s breadth away from successfully breaking through to the Sky Apex Realm, trailing by the thinnest of margins.

Such a slight difference could very well lead to failure.

"This doesn’t look good." Lian Ji’s brows furrowed slightly, her concern for Xia Yunxin evident.

However, as soon as her words fell, the wind beside her stirred. Ling Chen disappeared. He had already dashed out, and moments later, he landed in the Jade Liquid Spirit Pool, walking up to Xia Yunxin.

In Xia Yunxin’s utterly astonished gaze, Ling Chen directly took out a pill and, like lightning, popped it into her cherry-red mouth.

The Elixir melted immediately upon contact. Xia Yunxin swallowed it and then asked in surprise, "What was that?"

Although she trusted Ling Chen not to harm her, she still felt a little unsettled after swallowing something unknown.

"A Melting Heaven Pill," Ling Chen replied with a faint smile.

"A Melting Heaven Pill?"

Xia Yunxin was taken aback. The Melting Heaven Pill was a Treasure that only formed by rare chance after a Half-step Heavenly Extreme Realm expert perished failing a breakthrough. It was exceedingly rare, and she hadn’t expected Ling Chen to possess one.

Indeed, the Melting Heaven Pill was an excellent aid for breaking through to the Sky Apex Realm.

"Stop talking and focus on your breakthrough. Don’t waste the Medicinal Power of the Melting Heaven Pill."

Seeing that Xia Yunxin was about to speak again, Ling Chen cut her off. The window of opportunity for breaking through to the Sky Apex Realm was very limited. Missing it meant failure, something even the Melting Heaven Pill could not salvage.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yunxin closed her eyes. The Medicinal Power of the Melting Heaven Pill began to surge within her, and her previously declining aura suddenly strengthened significantly.

The aura that had been lacking rapidly intensified, reaching the bottleneck.

BUZZ BUZZ!

Xia Yunxin’s aura underwent a sudden transformation, a change Ling Chen could clearly sense.

At this moment, the Xia Yunxin before him seemed to be more closely connected to the heavens and earth around her. Her body could continuously absorb Heavenly Earth Energy from the Void and transform it into True Qi.

This was a major advantage for a Top Sky Apex Strong, and the reason they could stand firmly above Grand Masters.

Seeing this unfold, Ling Chen knew that Xia Yunxin’s breakthrough this time was a success.

After completing the transformation of her aura, Xia Yunxin opened her eyes, a look of joy gracing her beautiful features.

Although it had been a perilous attempt, she was fortunate Ling Chen had provided the Melting Heaven Pill; otherwise, there was a ninety percent chance she would have failed.

"Thank you," Xia Yunxin gazed at Ling Chen, her eyes filled with gratitude.

"Why be so formal with me? What you’ve done for me is far more than this," Ling Chen said with a light smile.

Though a Melting Heaven Pill was precious, using it on Xia Yunxin to help her break through to the Sky Apex Realm put it to its best use. There was nothing to regret.

Xia Yunxin cultivated the Grand Starlife Divine Canon, a Holy Grade Cultivation Technique passed down from Liu Xiling. Later, in the Sky Demon Tower, she had also received the legacy of the Black Lotus Saintess, a peerless Expert from the Saint Witch Religion. Now that she had advanced to the Sky Apex Realm, her strength would naturally soar, making even Ling Chen take her seriously.

The current Ling Chen wouldn’t spare a second glance for ordinary Sky Apex Realm First Layer experts, but Xia Yunxin was different. Her strength far exceeded her cultivation level. If she were to fight at full power, Ling Chen estimated that even an average Sky Apex Realm Third Layer expert would be no match for her.

Of course, this was only his estimation. Only Xia Yunxin herself knew her true strength.

"Regardless, you’ve helped me immensely."

SPLASH.

"Tell me, how should I reward you?" Xia Yunxin gazed at Ling Chen, a teasing smile on her incomparably beautiful face, exuding an endless, seductive charm.

"How about you offer yourself to me?" Ling Chen suggested, half-joking, half-serious.

"Alright."

However, after several breaths, Ling Chen suddenly opened his eyes, a flicker of hesitation on his face. He then loosened his lips and helped Xia Yunxin sit upright.

"You still haven’t forgotten her?"

Xia Yunxin, being extremely perceptive, seemed to have noticed Ling Chen’s unusual behavior. Instead of getting angry, she asked softly.

"My heart has been with her for so long. How could I forget her in a day or a night?" Ling Chen shook his head and sighed. This wasn’t the time to say such disheartening words, but he couldn’t deceive Xia Yunxin. Indeed, deep in his heart, the image of Xu Ruoyan remained. Just as he was about to share an intimate moment with Xia Yunxin, that figure had surfaced in his mind.

"That’s true. After all, you two once shared life and death together," Xia Yunxin said with a smile, seeming indifferent.

"I know I have a place in your heart, and that’s enough for me."

Xia Yunxin’s expression appeared nonchalant, but Ling Chen knew that no woman would truly be indifferent; there would always be some lingering resentment, however small.

However, when she had been close with Ling Chen just now, she could also feel that his feelings towards her were not as they were before. Previously, there hadn’t been a shred of romantic affection. Now, she could sense Ling Chen’s affection for her.

Even if this affection wasn’t overwhelming, it was a significant improvement from before.

Ling Chen silently shook his head and chuckled bitterly. Affection was indeed a curious thing. Xia Yunxin treated him so well, yet Xu Ruoyan had stabbed him in front of everyone. The choice between them should have been simple, but even now, he couldn’t fully accept Xia Yunxin. At least, he couldn’t accept her with this mindset, his heart still lingering on another woman.
