Chapter 18 It's hard to die, living together?
As Tang Ren's innocent yet solemn voice fell, it was as if his words carried on, and the whole world seemed to freeze for a moment.
The enormous phantom of the goddess of life standing between heaven and earth seemed to have heard the call from the ancient past, and slowly opened her eyes.
What kind of eyes were those?
It had no pupils, no focus, only a pure, emerald-gold light that seemed to contain all the mysteries of life at the beginning of the universe.
The moment those eyes opened, Ye Rou'er felt as if her soul had been seen through. In the face of that sacred light, all darkness and evil had nowhere to hide, and only the most primal awe and submission remained in her heart!
The goddess's illusory figure slightly raised her right hand, which was made of light, and gently touched her chest with her slender fingers.
The movements were elegant and sacred, as if they were plucking the strings of destiny.
"Buzz—!"
An indescribable ring of light, mixed with the emerald green of the Tree of Life, spread out in all directions from the center of the towering pillar of light at a speed that seemed slow but actually disregarded space and distance!
This light wave has no destructive power whatsoever.
It gently passes through the thick tree trunks, while the branches and leaves of the trees stretch out even faster, exuding vitality; it silently sweeps across the withered earth, and tender green grass sprouts break through the soil, instantly spreading into a green carpet.
Finally, the sacred light gently swept over Ye Rou'er, who was standing not far away.
Ye Rou'er felt an extremely warm life energy instantly envelop her, as if she had returned to her mother's embrace, feeling completely comfortable.
Immediately afterwards, she felt a slight warmth on her forehead, and a faint pink begonia flower mark made of pure life energy quietly appeared, radiating a gentle light that brought peace of mind.
The next moment, her pupils shrank dramatically!
She could clearly feel a continuous, extremely pure life force slowly emanating from the mark, nourishing her limbs and making her feel as if she had become several years younger!
However, unleashing this earth-shattering move also comes at a huge cost.
The instant the light waves reached the edge of the dense forest, Tang Ren felt as if his soul power had been instantly drained by a bottomless black hole! Every last bit of soul power was squeezed out!
"Thump!"
His vision went black, his body went limp, and he collapsed onto the grass, panting heavily.
The magnificent phantom of the Tree of Life and the illusion of the goddess vanished in an instant, like flowers in a mirror or the moon in the water.
The fusion of martial spirits was forcibly interrupted!
On the other side, Ye Lingling's situation wasn't much better.
Her usually aloof and beautiful face was now deathly pale, devoid of any color.
Her delicate body swayed and she almost fell, but fortunately Ye Rou'er caught her in time.
The soul power consumption of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill is truly terrifying!
Even though Tang Ren had the upper hand, she, as the supporting character, had almost all her soul power drained.
"Lingling! Xiaoren!"
Ye Rou'er didn't bother to examine the mark on her forehead; her face was full of concern.
She immediately activated her Nine Hearts Begonia Martial Soul.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black
Seven spirit rings lit up, and a gentle healing light enveloped Tang Ren and Ye Lingling respectively.
The gentle soul power slowly flowed into their bodies, and Tang Ren and Ye Lingling's complexions improved somewhat.
"How are you feeling?" Ye Rou'er helped her daughter sit down, then walked to Tang Ren's side and asked softly.
"It's alright, just exhausted." Tang Ren shook his head, his voice still a little weak.
Ye Rou'er nodded, then pointed to the lingering begonia flower mark on her forehead, her eyes filled with barely suppressed excitement and curiosity, and asked:
"Tang Ren, this mark... and that spirit fusion skill from earlier, what exactly is its ability?"
Tang Ren took a breath, organized the information that naturally surfaced in his mind, and replied in a calm yet powerful tone:
"This skill is called 'Echo of the Goddess of Life.' During the skill's duration, all friendly units marked with this 'Begonia Flower' mark will gain one... absolute immunity to death."
"What?!" Ye Rou'er's voice rose instantly, almost unable to believe her ears!
Tang Ren continued to explain:
"When a marked teammate suffers fatal damage, the mark will be activated instantly. The teammate will not die, but their physical condition, including soul power, stamina, and all injuries, will be forcibly reverted to the peak state at the moment 'Echo of the Goddess of Life' was activated."
"Furthermore, each time the 'Death Saving Threat' is triggered, the skill itself will also perform a powerful area-of-effect heal on all marked allies."
He paused, then added:
"Of course, this is not just a support effect. The life pressure emitted when the skill is activated will have a mental shock effect on all enemy units, weakening their desire to attack and the power of their soul skills. Especially... it has a natural and devastating restraining effect on evil soul masters or undead-type martial souls."
The dense forest was deathly silent.
Ye Rou'er stood there blankly, her mind a complete blank.
"Hiss~"
She took a deep breath, her chest heaving violently from the extreme shock!
A saying circulates throughout the Douluo Continent: "As long as there is a Nine-Heart Begonia Soul Master, it's hard for you to die."
This describes the Nine-Heart Begonia's domineering and unparalleled single-target healing ability.
But Tang Ren and Ye Lingling's Martial Soul Fusion Skill... truly reached another level!
This isn't just about being unable to die if you want to; it's about... being able to be brought back from the dead!
And it instantly restored him to his peak condition! What an incredible, godlike skill!
She looked at Tang Ren, who was slumped on the ground, his face still pale, and then at her equally weak daughter beside her. The shock on her face slowly faded, replaced by an unprecedented and incomparably radiant smile.
Her gaze swept back and forth over Tang Ren, her eyes filled with tenderness, appreciation, satisfaction... and even a hint of... the feeling of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law with increasing delight!
The partnership of a martial soul fusion skill is a once-in-a-million destiny.
If it's a man and a woman, because of their perfect soulmate connection, they will almost always end up as a couple who spend their lives together.
Clearly, Ye Rou'er had already regarded this young boy, whose talent was nothing short of monstrous, as her future son-in-law!
The first spirit ring is a thousand years old. What a terrifying talent that is!
As long as he doesn't perish along the way, becoming a Title Douluo in the future is almost a certainty!
Thinking of this, Ye Rou'er's smile grew even gentler. She walked to Tang Ren's side, helped him up personally, and asked softly:
"Tang Ren, where do you live? Auntie would like to... visit your parents. There are some things that need to be prepared in advance for your future together."
"If possible, I'd like you to live together. This would make it easier for you to develop a rapport and better master this skill."
