Chapter 223 A Tragic End, and a Fight to the Death with the Eldritch Race!

【In the next instant, you stopped hiding, activated Boiling Dragonblood, and charged at the Realm-Boundary Grand Array with all your might.】

【However, the moment you took a single step, your body froze in place like a statue.】

【Immediately afterward, a figure slowly appeared before your eyes.】

【You saw it clearly. He looked human, but from the eerie smile on his face, you could tell at once that he was one of the Eldritch Race.】

【Immortal Realm!】

【That was the first thought that flashed through your mind.】

【Then, without hesitation, you released Xuanyuan Tianji from your Void Domain.】

【The moment Xuanyuan Tianji appeared, she struck the Eldritch creature before you with a fatal blow.】

【You saw a flicker of shock flash through the creature’s eyes, and then Xuanyuan Tianji’s Divine Eyes blasted him into a pool of blood.】

【“Go!”】

【Xuanyuan Tianji dispelled the Divine Power that had been placed on you. Just as you were about to take her with you toward the Realm-Boundary Grand Array, you saw the blood before you gather itself together again into an eldritch monster.】

【At that sight, you remembered.】

【The vitality of the Eldritch Race far surpassed that of ordinary beings. They could keep reviving themselves by consuming their cultivation.】

【It was clear that Xuanyuan Tianji had forgotten as well, forgotten what had happened when you had first arrived in the Qingxuan Realm.】

【You could hardly be blamed for it. After all, it had been a long time since you had fought the Eldritch Race.】

【“You are not getting away!!!”】

【As the eldritch monster before you finished speaking, you sensed waves of eldritch auras even stronger than his rushing rapidly closer.】

【At that moment, your heart sank to the bottom.】

【You had known this journey would be fraught with danger. You had only wanted to gamble on the slimmest thread of hope.】

【“Stop standing there. Go!”】

【Xuanyuan Tianji’s shout suddenly pulled you back to reality.】

【You hesitated no longer and used the Great Void Technique to rush toward the Realm-Boundary Grand Array.】

【You knew that once you entered the Realm-Boundary Grand Array, you would be able to escape the danger.】

【You and Xuanyuan Tianji shot forward like a meteor and, in the blink of an eye, arrived before the Realm-Boundary Grand Array.】

【Looking at the Realm-Boundary Grand Array only a few steps away, a smile appeared on your face.】

【“Freeze!”】

【But in the next instant, both you and Xuanyuan Tianji were locked in place before the Realm-Boundary Grand Array, utterly unable to move.】

【“Immortal Lord?”】

【You heard those two words leave Xuanyuan Tianji’s lips.】

【Faced with an Immortal Lord expert, even Xuanyuan Tianji had no power to resist.】

【A moment later, you saw a sinister man walk up to the two of you.】

【The sinister man looked Xuanyuan Tianji over a few times before turning his gaze to you.】

【When your eyes met his, you saw unrestrained greed in his gaze.】

【“A True Dragon Treasure Body?”】

【“What a delicacy, one that comes along only once in a thousand years!”】

【Then the sinister man caught Xuanyuan Tianji by the chin and frowned slightly.】

【“The Immortal Realm?”】

【“How did you break through to the Immortal Realm? All the Immortal Crystals in the Qingxuan Realm are under my control. By all rights, you should never have been able to obtain any!”】

【“No matter! None of that is important now!”】

【“Then I will start with you. The tastiest morsels are always saved for last.”】

【A moment later, you watched Xuanyuan Tianji die before your very eyes.】

【It was a scene you would never forget for the rest of your life.】

【Then you watched the sinister man walk toward you, greed burning in his eyes.】

【At this point, the other eldritch beings around you also stirred restlessly, wanting a share as well, but under the sinister man’s intimidation, none of them dared take another step forward.】

【When it was your turn, the sinister man tore off your limbs one by one.】

【Bereft of all four limbs, you were in such agony that you wished for death, yet you still engraved the man’s appearance into your memory.】

【Inwardly, you swore that you would one day make this eldritch creature suffer a fate worse than death.】

【Ding!】

【A fatal crisis is detected!】

【Unique Skill — Protection of Destiny — is triggered in an emergency!】

【Protection of Destiny: forcibly preserves a sliver of life and teleports you to a random safe location!】

【WHOOSH—】

【In the next instant, you vanished from before the sinister man, limbless and broken.】

【The expression on the sinister man’s face vanished at once, and then he looked around furiously.】

【His first thought was that another eldritch being nearby had tried to snatch away the food in his hands, but after sweeping his gaze around, he found no such thing.】

【“Search with everything you have!”】

【At the sinister man’s command, the Bai Family mobilized in full force, including the Family Head, who had already broken through to the Immortal Realm, and several Elders.】

【...】

【After leaving the Upper City, you were consumed by rage. In that moment, your desire to grow stronger reached its absolute peak.】

【As you felt the pain wracking your body, your hatred for the Eldritch Race also rose to its peak.】

【You looked at the unfamiliar surroundings and frowned slightly, then released Chen Shu.】

【Inside the Void Domain, Chen Shu had seen everything.】

【Chen Shu carried you and, without a word, began searching the area for a temporary place to stay.】

【Chen Shu brought you into an abandoned Thatched Hut and fed you several medicinal pills.】

【Chen Shu told you that your limbs would be very difficult to regenerate.】

【Chen Shu told you that your wounds had been infected with the aura of the Eldritch Race, and that aura was constantly preventing your flesh from regenerating.】

【After hearing this, your face went ashen.】

【Without your limbs, how were you supposed to seek revenge on the Eldritch Race?】

【You refused to accept that reality. You believed that with your True Dragon Treasure Body, you would surely be able to recover.】

【However, although your True Dragon Treasure Body was healing your body, the eldritch aura at your wounds kept devouring its restorative power. Waves of itching began to spread from the wounds.】

【This itching was even harder to endure than the pain, as though ten thousand ants were gnawing at your wounds.】

【After treating your wounds, Chen Shu planned to take you back to the Hope Zone to recover.】

【However, after asking around, Chen Shu came back with bad news.】

【“Do you know where this is?”】

【“Hm?”】

【From Chen Shu’s tone, it was obvious that she already knew where you were.】

【Although you did not know where this place was, Protection of the Heavenly Dao would only bring you to a safe location, so this place ought to be safe at the very least.】

【Chen Shu took a deep breath.】

【“This is... Heavenly Emperor City!”】

【“This is the mortal district of Heavenly Emperor City’s Lower City!”】

【“What?”】

【Your eyes widened violently at the news.】

【You had never imagined that Protection of the Heavenly Dao would send you to the Lower City.】

【In an instant, it felt as though the sky had collapsed over your head. You had never expected that your luck could be this abysmal.】

【You knew that any safety you had now was false. If the Eldritch Race truly wanted to hunt you down, it would not take long for them to uncover your trail.】

【Sure enough, both you and Chen Shu sensed wave after wave of auras surging in your direction.】

【“So this is where you were!”】

【Very soon, a familiar face appeared before your eyes.】

【You died!】
