Nirvana took another step closer to Ye Yuqiao.

Just at that moment, suddenly!

A strong burst of Yang Energy spread from Chen Hao's body and instantly filled the damp air of the entire forest.

Subsequently, Chen Hao's Yin Soul separated from his severely injured physical body and stood in front of Nirvana.

Looking at the back of Chen Hao's Yin Soul, Ye Yuqiao's heart first surged with ecstasy. Her Chen Hao had not let her down; he was once again shielding her in a critical moment. However, the elation was quickly overshadowed by a dark cloud of worry on her face. The Nether King's Heart was still sealed, and without its enchanted power, Chen Hao's Yin Soul facing Nirvana without his physical body was immensely dangerous.

If Chen Hao's Yin Soul were to scatter then, Ye Yuqiao could not think of any way to restore and revive it.

"Boyfriend, quickly go back!" Ye Yuqiao urged Chen Hao in her heart, but sadly, without the connection of the Nether King's Heart, Chen Hao could not hear her inner voice.

Seeing Chen Hao's Yin Soul in front of him, Nirvana was taken aback. On one hand, he didn't expect Chen Hao's Yin Soul to dare face him directly; on the other hand, he couldn't believe that a Yin Soul could carry so much Yang Energy, considering he was neither a fierce ghost nor an evil spirit.

"Hmph!" Nirvana let out a light chuckle. In his eyes, no matter how profound the Yang Energy on Chen Hao's Yin Soul was, he could finish him with one move.

"You actually dare to face me with your Yin Soul; are you not afraid of your soul scattering?"

"Since I dare to stand before you, I'm confident I will survive!" said Chen Hao, then slightly tilted his head to the left side, casting a sidelong glance at Ye Yuqiao behind him. His words were intended both for Nirvana and to assure Ye Yuqiao not to worry about him.

After speaking, the corners of Chen Hao's mouth slightly curled upward.

Every time Nirvana saw that smirk on Chen Hao's face, he felt an unusual anger within him, and this time was no exception. He didn't understand how Chen Hao could always show that expression in the face of any danger. Was Chen Hao so certain that he could turn peril into safety, never to panic or fear?

"Your soul shall scatter, Chen Hao!" Nirvana said coldly, his half-closed eyes brimming with surging murderous intent, "I will take good care of the fairy!"

With that said, the Primeval Power wrapped around him surged toward Chen Hao like a tidal wave.

"Hmph!" Chen Hao let out a cold laughter, "I will take care of my girlfriend myself; as for your adoptive father Luo Pengfei, well, I'm not kind enough to look after him for you!"

"Ah! Boyfriend!" At that moment, seeing the Primeval Power with its mix of four types of lights closing in on Chen Hao's Yin Soul, Ye Yuqiao became so anxious that her voice caught in her throat, and tearful sparkle in her eyes. She didn't understand why Chen Hao's Yin Soul suddenly appeared in front of her as if facing death, nor did she understand why Chen Hao had just said words that were meant to reassure her.

In her view, there was no way for Chen Hao to withstand the Primeval Power that seemed to have enough force to destroy a mountain.

"Nowhere to escape in heaven and earth!" Chen Hao cast a spell just as the Primeval Power reached him.

Hearing that Chen Hao only cast the Six-Character Sealing Barrier at this critical juncture, Ye Yuqiao's heart was suddenly gripped by a chilling coldness. In her memory, this barrier was just a common Seal Barrier, incapable of protecting Chen Hao from the immediate danger. She closed her eyes, hot tears rolling down her cheeks, unwilling to see Chen Hao's Yin Soul scatter before her eyes.

However, after what seemed an eternity.

The strong Yang Energy emanating from Chen Hao still filled the surrounding air.

Heartbroken, Ye Yuqiao opened her eyes.

She saw Chen Hao's Yin Soul silhouette still standing in front of her. Besides, that Six-Character Sealing Barrier, which she regarded as ordinary, was still present, and the Primeval Power was fiercely slamming into the "Heaven" character in front of Chen Hao.

Ye Yuqiao couldn't believe her eyes. Chen Hao had actually held back the Primeval Power with the Six-Character Sealing Barrier!

By the time she came to her senses, Chen Hao's face had closed in on hers, and his familiar warm hands were wiping the tears from her face.

"Boyfriend, what's happening?" whispered Ye Yuqiao, her voice hoarse and her body trembling.

Chen Hao smiled without answering Ye Yuqiao's question. First, he wiped away the tears on the verge of falling and then said, "It's a long story, but in short, there's no trouble for now. This Six-Character Sealing Barrier can hold back Nirvana for a while!"

"Hmph! Jerk, you should have said so earlier and saved me the worry! Look, I've cried!" Ye Yuqiao hit Chen Hao's chest, and then sobbed and trembled a couple more times.

"Didn't I just hint to you not to worry?" Chen Hao explained. After smiling at Ye Yuqiao, he then hugged her tightly and said, "Silly girl, it's all right now!"

"Chen Hao, get away from her, don't touch my fairy!" At that moment, Nirvana's roar came from outside the barrier.

Ye Yuqiao snorted at Chen Hao, her eyes and heart filled only with him. After locking eyes with Chen Hao for a while, she said softly, "Boyfriend, you're holding too tight. I can barely breathe!"

"Oh!" Chen Hao realized and immediately sat up beside Ye Yuqiao, then leaned forward, lifting her in a bridal carry, and pulled her into his embrace. Noticing that Ye Yuqiao was drenched, he asked, "Girlfriend, your clothes are all wet. Are you cold?"

"Cold, I'm almost freezing to death!" Ye Yuqiao nodded repeatedly and wrapped her arms around Chen Hao's neck, "Boyfriend, hold me tight!"

After smiling, Chen Hao bent his knees, enveloped Ye Yuqiao with his body, and while pushing out Yang Energy from his body, warmed her up.

At this moment outside the barrier, Nept was hopping mad, punching and kicking the barrier relentlessly while pushing more of his Primordial Energy out to slam against the barrier time and again.

"Are you still cold?" Chen Hao asked Ye Yuqiao.

"Not cold anymore!" Ye Yuqiao shook her head, a dazed smile on her face. Her bright eyes slowly moved around within their sockets, carefully examining the Six-Character Sealing Barrier. Finding nothing different from before, she then asked, "Boyfriend, what is actually going on?"

"That shadow figure in my mind appeared again!" Chen Hao explained, "He told me the essence of practicing the 'Return to Yang Spell' is to also absorb while depleting the Yang Energy, maintaining a state of fullness within the body."

"So you're saying you've been continuously inputting all your Yang Energy into the barrier and then constantly absorbing it back from the heavens and the earth."

"Wow, girlfriend, you're so smart!" Chen Hao couldn't help but exclaim.

"Of course, who do you think your girlfriend is!" Ye Yuqiao said with a proud chuckle, "So that's how it is. No wonder this Six-Character Sealing Barrier can withstand the Soul Elemental Energy from that monster."

A quarter of an hour passed.

Ye Yuqiao was almost falling asleep in Chen Hao's arms.

Nept was still scheming to break the Six-Character Sealing Barrier.

"Boyfriend, I hate that monster. You must give him a good lesson for me later," Ye Yuqiao said with her eyes half-closed, whispering in Chen Hao's ear.

"Yeah, of course. He keeps trying to steal my girlfriend. I definitely can't let him off easy!"

"I don't know when Tang Jing will be able to undo the seal, nor how Xie Xiaofeng is doing."

At that moment, Chen Hao recalled what the shadow figure had told him, to trust in the strength of Xie Xiaofeng and Tang Jing, his two teammates. Thus, he said, "Xie Xiaofeng should be fine, and as for Tang Jing, I believe she will be able to lift the seal soon. We have to trust her."

"You trust Tang Jing a lot, right?" Ye Yuqiao suddenly changed the subject, her tone turning strange.

"Ah!" Chen Hao was taken aback and then pinched Ye Yuqiao's cheek with his hand, "Girlfriend, what are you talking about? Why the sudden jealousy?"

"No way, no way. How could a magnanimous girl like me be jealous?"

Listening to Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao's affectionate words from time to time, Nept, bustling about outside the barrier, felt extremely uncomfortable, wishing he could rush into the barrier and tear Chen Hao's Yin Soul to pieces.

Suddenly, a streak of black and purple light flashed across the left eye of Chen Hao's physical body.

"Boyfriend!" Ye Yuqiao's face lit up with delight, and she immediately transmitted a secret message to Chen Hao, "Could it be that Tang Jing has lifted the seal?"

"Yes! That's right!" Chen Hao silently affirmed. He could already feel a cold stream of Yin Qi Spiritual Power flowing from his left eye into his bloodstream.

All of a sudden, he let out a great shout, and a stream of black and purple Nether Flame burst forth from his left eye. A sense of regained power sprang up within him, filling his heart with a fighting spirit and desire for battle.

"Yuqiao, you go ahead and enter the Nether Acupoint!"

"Okay!"

Seeing a purple vortex appear inside the barrier, Nept cried out, "Fairy, don't go!"

After the Nether Acupoint disappeared, Chen Hao initiated his Nether Vision with his left eye and quickly located Xie Xiaofeng. At that moment, Xiao Feng was lying on the calm surface of the Xiluo Lake, eyes closed, seemingly at peace.

Chen Hao had intended to draw Xie Xiaofeng into the Nether Acupoint, but seeing him enjoy the moment, he abandoned the idea.

After closing his Nether Vision, Chen Hao retracted the Six-Character Sealing Barrier.

Instantly, Nept, with deep-seated hatred for him, lunged towards him, surrounded by an overwhelmingly intense Primordial Energy.

Chen Hao calmed his mind, and his breathing slowed.

"Huff huff!" Sounds of a slicing blade—Chen Hao drew out two blades that the Ancestor of the Nether King used and combined them to form the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade!

With a "boom" that echoed like thunder, the black and purple Nether King's World-Slaying Blade collided with Nept, who was enveloped in a four-colored Primordial Energy!

After a stand-off, Chen Hao and Nept each were pushed back dozens of meters.

Chen Hao landed atop a towering ancient tree while Nept was pushed to the opposite shore of the Xiluo Lake.

Then, Chen Hao's Yin Soul returned to his physical body, and he called out to Nept across the lake, "I admit I underestimated you at the start! Let me give you some unfortunate news, now I'm getting serious!"
