One needed to take responsibility for their actions.

The Heavenly Dao was extremely fair and just. Since Cyril and Chen Chen were planning to destroy it, then it would force these two culprits to endure the negative emotions of countless beings.

This was their responsibility!

The red and glossy fruit was filled with the negative emotions of countless beings. All of the negative emotions triggered by the destruction of the Heavenly Dao were converged inside this fruit.

Whoosh!

A dazzling sword projection suddenly swept through the sky and slashed into the red and glossy fruit.

The sword intent of this attack was so powerful that it could even split the sky into two.

However… the red fruit was completely unscathed and unaffected by the overwhelming sword intent. In fact, it didn’t even quiver.

Cyril slowly retracted his sword. There was a look of disappointment on his face, and he said, “I can’t damage it with my sword.”

“Of course you can’t. This is a collection of negative emotions from billions upon billions of beings. By placing your sword on its neck, you’ll only cause their negative emotions to grow in magnitude. At that time, this red fruit will only become even more powerful and terrifying…” Chen Chen said with a shake of his head.

Cyril grimaced upon hearing this, but he knew that Chen Chen was correct.

The red and glossy fruit silently hung in the sky just like that. It was like a beautiful fruit waiting to be picked, with its fruity aroma as alluring as could be.

As the members of the Heaven Crushing Sect gazed at this red fruit, they couldn’t help but feel that it was extremely alluring and appetizing. They felt a strong desire to taste this red fruit. However, in Cyril’s and Chen Chen’s eyes, this red fruit was nothing more than an extremely poisonous matter. They didn’t want to even touch it.

However, the two Heavenly Disciples knew that this was an insurmountable challenge.

This was not only a challenge from the Heavenly Dao, but it was also a challenge from the countless beings of the universe. If they couldn’t overcome this challenge, then they wouldn’t be able to become the new Heavenly Dao, even if they forcefully crushed the old Heavenly Dao.

“The willpower of sentient beings, and the karmic fate of sentient beings.

“Although this is the karmic fate of evil consequences, it’s still a genuinely magnificent matter.”

Chen Chen couldn’t help but sigh with emotion as he gazed at the red fruit.

As if hearing Chen Chen’s praise, and as if displaying its joy, the red fruit surprisingly shrunk in size, shrinking from five hundred feet in radius to only the size of an ordinary apple. This was seemingly to make it easier for Chen Chen to consume.

However, Chen Chen wasn’t delighted upon seeing this. Instead, he felt a cold chill traveling down his spine.

This fruit… was definitely deadly!

“Chen Chen… why don’t we have half each?” Cyril asked as he continued to tightly grip his Heaven Crushing Spear. He raised his other hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

This tribulation didn’t look mighty, and it didn’t look overwhelming either.

There was simply a red fruit silently hovering in the air.

However, Cyril was aware that they might both implode on the spot upon eating this red fruit.

After all, this was an evil fruit that had gathered all of the negative emotions of the countless sentient beings in the universe. This Sentient Beings Tribulation was no joke!

Chen Chen raised his brows and said, “Half each? Aren’t you afraid that this Sentient Beings Tribulation will give us a ‘buy one get one free’?”

Cyril felt extremely awkward upon hearing this.

He naturally understood Chen Chen’s words. If this fruit was devastatingly powerful, so much so that they were both killed by it, then there would be no one else to shoulder the huge responsibility of crushing the heavens…

In other words, Chen Chen was saying that having one of them die would be much better than having both of them die.

However, would sacrificing one of them truly extinguish the resentment and negative emotions of all the sentient beings in the universe?

Cyril faltered for a brief moment. However, he eventually shook his head and said resolutely, “No, let’s have half each! If one of us dies, then the probability of successfully crushing the heavens will fall significantly. Thus, we might as well take this gamble!”

Upon seeing Cyril’s determination, Chen Chen didn’t try to forcefully change his mind anymore.

“Fine. Then I’ll go first,” Chen Chen said.

As he said this, he walked over and grabbed the red fruit.

This red fruit was extremely smooth, and it was also ice-cold to the touch. In fact, there was even some weight to it. However, when Chen Chen tried to determine the weight of the red fruit, his self-awareness suddenly started to become fuzzy and unclear. Thus, he was completely unable to determine its weight.

He then used his power to observe the inside of the fruit, and what he saw was the essence of countless negative emotions. Chen Chen was unable to determine the specific number of essence particles. If he had to use a word to describe it, then the word “boundless” would definitely be the most fitting.

There was a boundless number of essence particles.

In fact, Chen Chen had no idea whether he and Cyril could withstand this Sentient Beings Tribulation.

However, he had already come to a realization long ago. He would continue to advance regardless of how difficult or terrifying the situation was. He would continue to advance even if it meant sacrificing his life!

Chen Chen opened his mouth, and he was just about to take a bite out of the Sentient Beings Tribulation Fruit.

“Hang on!” Cyril suddenly shouted.

Chen Chen’s movement faltered, and he immediately looked toward Cyril.

Cyril’s voice was solemn, and he said, “If this red fruit isn’t a physical fruit but rather an orb of willpower, then it will subconsciously acknowledge you, the first person to take a bite, as the person facing the tribulation. At that time, it will unleash the full power of the tribulation upon you, therefore rendering our intention of splitting the tribulation into two pointless…”

Chen Chen frowned upon hearing this. He understood what Cyril was trying to say, and he murmured, “Taking one bite is equivalent to eating the entire fruit?

“Then what should we do?”

“We’ll form a connection between our minds. Regardless of whether this fruit is physical or not, we’ll also take a bite out of it in unison!” Cyril said with a serious expression.

Chen Chen: “…”

As God of Creation Stage divine beings, they could indeed achieve this goal.

However, why did it seem so strange?

Anyhow, Chen Chen didn’t hesitate for too long before accepting Cyril’s suggestion.

Meanwhile, inside the Heaven Crushing Glazed Palace.

The members of the Heaven Crushing Sect were all gazing at Cyril and Chen Chen as they continued to funnel their power into the Heaven Crushing Spell Formation. They knew that the red fruit was no ordinary fruit, so they all felt extremely anxious upon seeing Chen Chen grab it into his hands.

This was especially the case with Xue Yan, who had already clenched her small hands into fists. She was feeling incredibly worried for Chen Chen.

“Look, Chen Chen has placed the red fruit before Cyril!

“Is he planning to let Cyril take a bite first?”

The members of the Heaven Crushing Sect hadn’t heard the discussion between the two Heavenly Disciples, so they were all feeling extremely curious upon seeing Chen Chen’s action.

“Why do I feel like their actions are so weird…?”

Some members of the Heaven Crushing Sect were wearing extremely strange expressions.

Meanwhile, the remaining members didn’t retort them either. This was because Cyril and Chen Chen were leaning closer and closer together. At this moment, only the red fruit separated the two of them.

In fact, the red fruit was resting between their mouths.

Chen Chen’s limpid and black eyes were gazing into Cyril’s gentle and bright red eyes, and it was as if all matter in heaven and earth had vanished from around them. At this moment, it was as if they only had eyes for each other…

“What… are they planning to do…?”

“Perhaps they’re afraid of the huge risks of eating the fruit, so they want to do something before their death?” a female immortal at the Return to Void Stage said. Her face was flushed red, and as if thinking of something, her breathing suddenly quickened as well. Her beautiful eyes were locked onto the two figures in the sky, and it was as if she were afraid to miss some stunning scenes that were about to take place between them.

Xue Yan’s eyes twitched upon hearing this, and she became even more anxious as she gazed at the two figures in the sky.

Her expression was clearly cold and aloof, yet her mind was already ablaze.

Could it be… could it be…

Right at this moment, Cyril and Chen Chen suddenly parted their lips in unison…
