Chapter 1120 - 1120 Jiang Luoli's Longing
White as snow, robes billowing in the wind, presence shaking the heavens, laughing freely across the vast sky.
Riding atop an immortal-tier Azure Sky Roc.
The moment he appeared, his overwhelming aura swept across the entire battlefield!
Every eye turned toward him!
Every soul was shaken!
Jiang Luoli caught sight of that long-missed figure, and her vision instantly blurred.
She didn't want to cry, yet the tears refused to stop.
It was joy, it was excitement, and it was the flood breaking free from years of longing held too long inside.
"Xiaoyao gege……"
A voice tinged with a hint of tears, sweet and endearing, slipped from Jiang Luoli's lips.
Who had arrived needed no further words!
"He's here……"
In this moment, countless immortal realm prodigies across the entire battlefield held a thousand different feelings in their hearts.
Gazing up at a legend once thought gone, as the king returned!
"Jun Xiaoyao!"
When they saw Jun Xiaoyao appear, the dark seeds of the Moshi clan first showed shock in their eyes, then erupted into towering, boundless rage!
Jun Xiaoyao had played the entire Moshi clan for fools.
He had even directly slain Mohoura, one of the Six Kings of World Destruction.
This filled the eyes of the Moshi clan's seeds with cold, murderous intent.
They also all knew.
The reason Jun Xiaoyao had been able to destroy the calamity was mainly due to that golden dharma body, along with external forces like the Three-Life Bronze Coffin.
And everyone had seen it — once the dharma body's faith power was exhausted, it could no longer be used.
So the dark seeds of the Moshi clan were not overly afraid of Jun Xiaoyao.
He could sense it — Jun Xiaoyao was also at the Grand Perfection of the Supreme Realm, just like him, and had not broken through to the Heavenly Sovereign Realm.
"Die!"
Without any hesitation, the dark seed of the Moshi clan struck, boundless demonic energy converging into a black spear that seemed capable of piercing the heavens, blasting straight toward Jun Xiaoyao.
Right now, whoever could kill Jun Xiaoyao.
Would absolutely earn the supreme glory of the foreign realm!
Jun Xiaoyao's expression was indifferent.
After having gone through the battle against the ultimate calamity.
The fights among the younger generation now looked to him like children playing house, not stirring the slightest ripple in his heart.
Boom!
Jun Xiaoyao, simple and unhurried, pressed down with a single palm.
Between his fingers and palm, chaotic energy surged, each strand capable of collapsing the sky.
Sensing this power pushed to the absolute extreme of terror, the dark seed of the Moshi clan's expression shifted drastically.
His guess was not wrong.
He and Jun Xiaoyao were indeed both at the Grand Perfection of the Supreme Realm.
But even within the Supreme Realm, there were differences.
An ordinary supreme, and a pinnacle supreme who commanded nine laws, were clearly worlds apart.
And Jun Xiaoyao?
He commanded ten laws — an anomalous supreme who had surpassed the very pinnacle!
Not to mention, this was not even Jun Xiaoyao's limit!
The dark seed of the Moshi clan was also very powerful, having cultivated a full six laws.
But before this anomalous supreme that was Jun Xiaoyao, he was still as fragile as an ant.
The Chaotic Great Seal came crashing down like an ancient demonic mountain, directly crushing the dark seed of the Moshi clan into an explosion of fragments, body and soul utterly annihilated!
The other two dark seeds who witnessed this were struck with horror, and scrambled to flee.
Jun Xiaoyao raised his hand and slapped again.
One palm per little friend.
In mere moments, the three foreign dark seeds who had been slaughtering in all directions across the prodigy battlefield were completely wiped out!
"Gulp……"
Some of the immortal realm prodigies swallowed hard.
This was not Jun Xiaoyao borrowing the power of a divine dharma body.
This was his own power.
Killing ordinary supremes like crushing ants!
Countless gazes fixed upon the figure standing atop the Azure Sky Roc, as if beholding a divine miracle!
"Lord Xiaoyao has returned!"
"The divine son is peerless!"
"The king of our immortal realm's younger generation has finally come back!"
"He even won when gambling against the heavens — who else can match that?!"
Many of the immortal realm prodigies roared and shouted, overcome with excitement.
Although Jun Xiaoyao had no shortage of rivals in the immortal realm, those who worshipped him were far more numerous.
Especially after Jun Xiaoyao destroyed the ultimate calamity, that worship had grown close to mindless and frenzied.
Gambling against the heavens.
Suppressing the divine wicked will, saving the frontier.
Slaying the ultimate calamity.
Any one of these deeds, if accomplished, would be enough to earn the reverence of all living beings.
And all of this had been done by Jun Xiaoyao alone.
If he was not to be placed upon the divine altar, then who should be?
"Xiaoyao gege!"
A graceful figure flew toward Jun Xiaoyao like a swallow returning to its nest, throwing herself into his arms.
It was none other than Jiang Luoli.
After so long apart, Jiang Luoli had changed little in height, still the same short-legged girl.
Yet her bearing had shifted somewhat.
If the Jiang Luoli of before had been clever as a sprite, lively and pretty,
then the her of now was a little more mature, a little more quiet, her features beautifully refined and otherworldly, her fair face luminous and delicate.
Clearly, this was inseparable from the trials she had endured over these years.
Even the most cherished jewel of the Jiang family, once she left the shelter of the greenhouse, had to grow up.
Especially before, when she had heard that Jun Xiaoyao had fallen.
Jiang Luoli seemed to grow up overnight, coming to understand what it meant to lose something.
Now, seeing the familiar face of the one she loved.
She couldn't hold back, and threw herself directly into Jun Xiaoyao's arms, not caring at all that they were still on a battlefield.
The feeling of getting back what was lost — it was far too precious.
Looking at Jiang Luoli curled up in his arms, clearly wanting so badly to cry yet forcing herself not to, her delicate shoulders trembling faintly.
Jun Xiaoyao let out a soft sigh.
All these years, he had focused single-mindedly on cultivating, growing stronger, and seeking the truth of the world.
He had indeed neglected many things.
Neglected the people around him.
Not just Jiang Luoli.
There was also Jiang Shengyi — the woman who had always silently given everything from behind the scenes, yet never asked anything of him.
He thought again of that fragment of a future vision — the heavens and earth in chaos, Jiang Shengyi wearing a blood-stained smile, gazing at him with heartbreaking beauty.
Jun Xiaoyao felt that perhaps it was time to give a solemn promise.
He feared that if he missed the moment, there might never be another chance.
He kept this thought in his heart.
He reached out and lifted Jiang Luoli's pretty face.
Perhaps it was the longing for something sought but never quite reached.
That had left a few traces of weariness between Jiang Luoli's delicate brows.
"Xiaoyao gege, I just knew it — how could you possibly leave us without a word? That's not who you are."
Jiang Luoli's voice carried a hint of tears, yet a smile touched with teardrops bloomed on her face.
The emotion was deeply complex — joy, excitement, lingering fear, and a small, quiet grievance all at once.
"I'm sorry, for making you worry."
Jun Xiaoyao didn't quite know what else to say.
"Xiaoyao gege, as long as you're back, that's all that matters." Jiang Luoli's eyes reddened, a trace of tears shining within her smile.
"You've really grown up." Jun Xiaoyao said with feeling.
"Xiaoyao gege finally noticed I've gotten taller?"
"That's not what I meant."
Jun Xiaoyao's gaze dropped to Jiang Luoli's chest.
Although Jiang Luoli hadn't grown in height, certain areas had developed quite nicely.
She had become a case of baby face, big shame.
"Xiaoyao gege……you!"
Jiang Luoli's face flushed a deep red, her little fists pounding against Jun Xiaoyao's chest.
She never imagined that after a reunion that had been almost like a parting of life and death, Jun Xiaoyao would still tease her like this.
"You're smiling now — that's the Jiang loli I remember."
Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.
Jiang Luoli froze, then her little nose twitched, and she finally couldn't hold it in any longer and broke into full tears, her jade arms wrapped around Jun Xiaoyao, her face buried in his chest.
Still that familiar warmth.
Unchanged all along.
Jun Xiaoyao gently patted Jiang Luoli's jade back.
Yet he caught a gaze of great complexity, carrying a faint trace of envy, stealing glances over from nearby.
The imperial princess, Ling Yuan!
