Chapter 243: The Eldritch Race Attacks Again, the Dawn Wang Family!
【After a long while, your brows furrowed even more tightly.】
【You discovered that all these years, you had been in seclusion. Ever since returning from Heavenly Emperor City, you had never left the Hope Zone.】
【“So... how exactly did Wuji Heavenly Venerable disappear?”】
【“Unless... there is something else inside my Soul Sea.”】
【Immediately afterward, you searched continuously through the depths of your Soul Sea, yet you still did not find anything else.】
【“Could it be that thing?”】
【You suddenly thought of something.】
【BOOM—】
【All of a sudden, you felt the entire earth shaking, and waves of terrifying aura came from outside the wooden cabin.】
【“Is this... an Immortal?”】
【You secretly turned your gaze outside the wooden cabin. When you saw the scene outside, your pupils suddenly contracted.】
【“The Eldritch Race?”】
【“How is this possible? Wasn’t Heavenly Emperor City already destroyed by me? Why has the Eldritch Race still come?”】
【BOOM—】
【You had originally thought that with Heavenly Emperor City destroyed, and since nothing had happened in the ninth year, the matter had been resolved. You never expected that it had merely been delayed by one year. The Eldritch Race had still arrived.】
【You used the Great Void Technique and arrived at Xuanyuan Tianji’s residence. You had not expected Chen Shu to be here as well.】
【“Go!”】
【You had no time to ask what had happened. You hurriedly pulled the two of them along, preparing to leave the Hope Zone.】
【“Hm?”】
【“Wretch!”】
【In the next second, a terrifying Divine Power shattered the void and struck you, who were truly using the Great Void Technique.】
【You had not expected that someone in the Immortal Realm could actually knock you directly out of the Great Void Technique.】
【“Damn it!”】
【Your gaze swept toward a certain direction, and you used the force of this attack to retreat as a means of advancing.】
【BOOM—】
【You were smashed heavily into the ground, forming a deep crater.】
【“Hmph! Still trying to escape?”】
【The Immortal Realm eldritch being glanced at the deep pit beneath his feet, then turned his gaze toward the Council of Elders of the Hope Zone.】
【In his view, a mere wretch in the Eighth Tribulation Realm of the Tribulation Stage could not possibly survive the strike he had just delivered.】
【However, he did not know that with the borrowed force of that move, you had directly used Void Concealment and entered the interior of the Ancient Emperor Ruins.】
【Inside the Ancient Emperor Ruins—】
【You released the two of them from the Void Domain.】
【Chen Shu looked at you, whose hair had turned completely white, and her eyes were filled with shock.】
【She had not expected that after less than ten short years of seclusion, you would have become like this.】
【Xuanyuan Tianji, who was standing at the side, also noticed your condition. She frowned and spoke.】
【“Did you use a forbidden art?”】
【“Why is your vitality so weak?”】
【As soon as she finished speaking, Xuanyuan Tianji grabbed your left hand and began examining the condition of your body.】
【It would have been better if she had not checked. The moment she did, Xuanyuan Tianji was startled.】
【“You only have less than three years of Lifespan left?”】
【“What exactly happened?”】
【Chen Shu also gathered by your side and looked at you with a grave expression.】
【You sighed and told Xuanyuan Tianji that because you were cultivating the Undying Deathless Scripture, you had been forced to use a forbidden art in order to cultivate it successfully.】
【“You!!!”】
【Xuanyuan Tianji looked at you with a complicated expression in her eyes.】
【Xuanyuan Tianji did not know whether giving the Undying Deathless Scripture to you back then had been the right choice.】
【“You were too reckless. You have less than three years left. If you cannot successfully undergo your Tribulation, you will still die.”】
【You coughed twice and told Xuanyuan Tianji that you now had an eighty percent chance of success.】
【“Eighty percent?”】
【“How many strands of Undying Soulflame have you condensed?”】
【You smiled and said,】
【“Three.”】
【After these words fell, the interior of the Ancient Emperor Ruins fell silent.】
【After a long while, Xuanyuan Tianji spoke.】
【“Your talent truly is far beyond ordinary.”】
【“Do you know that the Undying Deathless Scripture is extremely difficult to cultivate? Yet in less than ten years, you actually condensed three strands of Undying Soulflame.”】
【“Do you know how many years it took the geniuses I know to condense a single strand of Undying Soulflame?”】
【Xuanyuan Tianji raised one finger. Then she told you that among the geniuses she had seen, even the fastest had taken one hundred years to condense a single strand of Undying Soulflame. Yet you had taken less than ten years to condense three strands of Undying Soulflame.】
【Hearing this, you pointed at your own hair.】
【You told Xuanyuan Tianji that the reason you were able to condense three strands of Undying Soulflame was because you had exchanged your own Lifespan for them.】
【“Madman!”】
【Looking at you with your head full of white hair, Xuanyuan Tianji could not help calling you a madman.】
【“By the way, what exactly happened? Wasn’t Heavenly Emperor City already destroyed? Why did the Eldritch Race still come here?”】
【You turned your gaze toward Chen Shu.】
【After Chen Shu heard this, her eyes gradually dimmed.】
【Chen Shu told you that although the Bai Family of Heavenly Emperor City had been destroyed, the Eldritch Race had found the Wang Family of the Dawn faction.】
【Chen Shu told you that the Eldritch Race planned to support the Wang Family and continue building another Heavenly Emperor City, with the Wang Family controlling Qingxuan Realm.】
【After hearing this, you froze slightly.】
【Immediately afterward, you understood everything.】
【It was not the Bai Family of Heavenly Emperor City that had taken the initiative to seek out the Eldritch Race. Rather, the Eldritch Race had long since had this idea, and the Bai Family had merely been their optimal choice.】
【However, after the Bai Family was wiped out by you, the Eldritch Race turned its gaze toward another force, and that force was the Dawn Wang Family.】
【In other words, whether you destroyed the Bai Family or wiped out the Wang Family, you could not change the fact that the Eldritch Race wanted to build Heavenly Emperor City and raise the Human Race in captivity.】
【The root of all this came from the Eldritch Race.】
【Thinking of this, you looked at Chen Shu with complicated emotions in your heart.】
【You had no emotional attachment to Qingxuan Realm. If you truly could not take revenge, you could temporarily leave. But for Chen Shu, easily abandoning this place might be a difficult choice in her heart.】
【“Let us stay here for a while first. After things calm down above, we will go out again.”】
【Afterward, the three of you temporarily settled down inside the Ancient Emperor Ruins.】
【Half a year later!】
【You brought the two of them back to the Hope Zone.】
【Sure enough, the Hope Zone had already become a ruin. Not a single figure could be seen.】
【Chen Shu looked at all of this with reddened eyes, and you did not step forward to disturb her.】
【You turned your gaze toward Xuanyuan Tianji and nodded at her.】
【The next day!】
【You and Xuanyuan Tianji left the Hope Zone and flew toward the Fallen Immortal Abyss.】
【Only Xuanyuan Tianji could forge the Xuanhuang Shield, and you needed her help.】
【Year Eleven!】
【“Here. Your Xuanhuang Shield.”】
【Above the Myriad Tribulations Stairway, Xuanyuan Tianji held the newly forged Xuanhuang Shield and placed it before your eyes.】
【Xuanyuan Tianji had not expected that this place would actually contain Xuanhuang Stone Marrow, and she was curious that you even knew about something like this.】
【Looking at the Xuanhuang Shield in your hands, Xuanyuan Tianji knew that the eighty percent chance you had spoken of was true, not an excuse you had used to deceive her.】
【“I wish you success!”】
