Undying Life

Chapter 754: Chapter 754: Jingbo Pool Water, Life Spring

"Gather everyone, we're going home!" Tian Xiaozi said with great difficulty, his voice filled with deep regret and sorrow that tugged at the heartstrings of all who heard it.

"Yes!" Nu Tianlao immediately responded.

Nu Tianlao cast a spell towards the black hole where Di Xuan Sha was. Shortly, eight strong Tian family members emerged.

These eight experts were in a miserable state. Although they were not dead, their injuries revealed the intensity of the internal battle. Each had at least a hundred wounds, their clothes soaked in blood, their hair disheveled, and their faces marked by utter distress.

Seeing the eight figures emerging from the black hole, countless onlookers around felt a chill. Di Xuan Sha? One against ten, yet still so fierce? Indeed, a peerless formidable figure.

"Patriarch!"

As the eight injured experts flew out, they immediately saw Tian Xiaozi lying like a heap of mud on top of Kunpeng's head.

Compared to the patriarch's injuries, the wounds from fighting Di Xuan Sha seemed mild.

"Let's go home!" Tian Xiaozi said.

Kunpeng spread its wings, carrying the Tian family members towards the west, heading back to the Tian family headquarters in the underworld.

In this battle, the Tian family was defeated?

People watched the two shrinking black holes with increasing horror. The monstrous Da Jin Empire? Zhong Shan?

The black hole where Zhong Shan was located was the first to stabilize.

As the black hole vanished, revealing Zhong Shan standing on the now hundred-zhang Ba Ji Tianwei, many looked at him with admiration.

The wind blew, making Zhong Shan's cloak flutter, enhancing his imposing figure.

Was it Zhong Shan who had beaten Tian Xiaozi to such a state? This battle in the Black Sea would undoubtedly make Zhong Shan's name famous throughout the underworld.

The black hole where Di Xuan Sha was located also gradually stabilized after the Tian family's eight strong experts left, revealing Di Xuan Sha inside.

Di Xuan Sha's two golden wheels of the world, one circling around him and the other slashing towards Ye Qingcheng.

Without the Immortal Slayer Sword, Ye Qingcheng's strength had greatly diminished. His body was covered with wounds, making him look more miserable than the eight Tian family members who had left. He appeared weak and exhausted.

This exhaustion was not just physical but also mental. The once spirited Ye Qingcheng now seemed much older.

As for the last Heaven Tier expert, Daoist Master Hong Jian, he had already been split in two by Di Xuan Sha's golden wheel of the world.

Ye Qingcheng, the primary target of Di Xuan Sha, had not been defeated solely because of a floating yellow talisman in front of him.

The talisman emitted a faint yellow light, enveloping Ye Qingcheng in a protective aura. Despite Di Xuan Sha's golden wheel repeatedly striking it like a saw, the talisman remained intact.

The talisman bore strange runes, their meaning indiscernible.

This stalemate had persisted for a long time, with the golden wheel failing to breach the protective shield, although the yellow barrier seemed to tremble slightly.

Di Xuan Sha's eyes grew cold. With a wave of his hand, the other golden wheel of the world rushed forward fiercely.

As the golden wheel sliced through the sky, it left a black trail.

"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!"

The other golden wheel slammed into the yellow talisman.

With a thunderous explosion, the talisman shattered.

"It's broken!" exclaimed countless onlookers excitedly.

Yes, the yellow talisman had finally been cut through. However, instead of simply disintegrating, the shattered talisman turned into a surge of yellow energy that rushed into Ye Qingcheng's body.

All the surrounding yellow light converged and was absorbed by Ye Qingcheng.

As the yellow light receded, Ye Qingcheng's body suddenly emitted a brilliant white light.

This was bad!

Di Xuan Sha's eyebrows furrowed as he directed his two golden wheels of the world to strike Ye Qingcheng's body.

Ye Qingcheng's entire body shone with white light!

"Whoosh!"

The two golden wheels slashed through empty air. Ye Qingcheng's body had vanished? Disappeared into thin air?

Countless people rubbed their eyes in disbelief. Had Ye Qingcheng just vanished in a flash of white light? Was he really gone? Just disappeared like that?

Di Xuan Sha's pupils contracted, staring at the scene. Ye Qingcheng had just vanished suddenly?

Zhong Shan was equally puzzled.

"Where did he go?" Zhong Shan frowned.

"I felt a spatial fluctuation just now. It was that talisman. The talisman took Ye Qingcheng away!" Di Xuan Sha said in a deep voice.

The two golden wheels swiftly returned to Di Xuan Sha's body, disappearing within him.

"He escaped?" Zhong Shan's eyes narrowed.

"Yes!" Di Xuan Sha nodded.

Letting out a faint sigh, Zhong Shan's eyes showed a hint of regret. "No matter, our mission this time is mostly accomplished."

"Indeed."

Turning around, Zhong Shan looked at the numerous experts surrounding them. At this moment, countless strong individuals were gazing up at the two of them with admiration.

The Emperor of Da Jin, Zhong Shan! The Wolf Tribe Supreme, Di Xuan Sha! These two were overwhelmingly powerful!

Looking at all the experts, Zhong Shan loudly proclaimed, "Three years from now, the Da Jin Empire will hold an open examination. Those who wish to join Da Jin should prepare in advance!"

With a loud proclamation, Zhong Shan stepped on Ba Ji Tianwei, and together with Di Xuan Sha, they disappeared into the sky.

Zhong Shan left, but the onlookers remained in a state of excitement.

Zhong Shan's strategy and power had won over most of the experts. Now that Zhong Shan announced the open examination, countless experts felt their hearts stir.

On a distant mountain peak.

Yi Lanque watched the excited crowd and sighed, "I underestimated him."

"What do you mean?" the Yi family patriarch asked.

"The Black Sea duel made Zhong Shan the biggest winner. Destroying the Immortal Realm, defeating the Tian family, and now he's won the hearts of countless experts! After this battle, at least half of the experts around the Black Sea will head straight for Da Jin's examination. What a vast strategy Zhong Shan has." Yi Lanque sighed deeply.

In just one year, the fierce battle at the Black Sea had spread throughout the world. The Da Jin Empire, the powerful Da Jin Empire, was unprecedented. Destroying the Immortal Realm, fierce battles at the Black Sea, defeating the Tian family! People watched memory crystals and listened to veterans' passionate recounts, all filling them with longing for Da Jin. It was a nation of strong individuals, an empire destined for infinite glory!

"I've decided, I'm going to take part in the Da Jin Empire's open examination in two years!" "Me too!" ... Talented individuals eagerly flocked to the Da Jin Empire. The Da Jin Empire was heading towards a golden age—

In the underworld's Tian family, within the Jingbo Pool.

Tian Xiaozi lay on a wide chair, seemingly unconscious. Beside him, an elder took a spoon, scooped some water from the Jingbo Pool, and fed it to Tian Xiaozi.

"The Spring of Life will accelerate Tian Xiaozi's recovery!" Tian Chenzi remarked.

The Spring of Life was a type of life-infused water found only in the Creation God Palace. In the past, Bing Xuan had obtained a box of it to please Bei Qingsi. However, it had been contaminated by airborne dust and, under Zhong Shan's refined 'microscope,' was found to contain countless microorganisms.

That Spring of Life turned out to be just water from the Jingbo Pool. It seemed that the legendary Spring of Life from the Creation God Palace also came from this pool.

As a spoonful of the Spring of Life entered his stomach, Tian Xiaozi slowly opened his eyes. Though he couldn't move, his face had mostly recovered over the past year.

Upon waking, Tian Xiaozi glanced at the surrounding elders, sighed lightly, and closed his eyes again.

Tian Chenzi looked at Tian Xiaozi and asked, "Patriarch, how did you and Kunpeng get so severely injured?"

"It was my miscalculation!" Tian Xiaozi shook his head.

"Even the bronze mirror on your chest broke. What weapon did Zhong Shan use to even cut through a celestial artifact? Was it that big saber?" Tian Chenzi frowned.

Tian Xiaozi recalled that day. It wasn't the saber that struck him; it was a palm strike from Zhong Shan.

The Heaven-Opening Axe? Tian Xiaozi's eyes reddened at the thought. Why was Zhong Shan chosen by the grand world and not him?

"What is it?" Tian Chenzi asked again.

Tian Xiaozi looked at Tian Chenzi with a blank expression, but his heart was in turmoil. The Heaven-Opening Axe was mine. I can't tell anyone, especially the Grand Elder! If he finds out, he will definitely claim it for himself. It's mine! Once I recover, I will make Zhong Shan pay dearly!

"It was... it was the big saber. Zhong Shan's technique, I couldn't match it," Tian Xiaozi sighed.

Tian Chenzi looked at Tian Xiaozi with a slight frown, then nodded.

"Focus on your recovery," Tian Chenzi said.

"Yes," Tian Xiaozi replied and was taken away.

In the Tian Vein Hall!

Tian Xiaozi lay immobile, surrounded by important members of the Tian family.

"Patriarch, Xiao Wang has indeed betrayed us, defecting to the Da Jin Empire and offering thirty-five cities, all critical points!" Nu Tianlao said angrily.

"Impossible, I don't believe it. Ruyan is still in my hands. Xiao Wang cannot betray me!" Tian Xiaozi's face turned red with agitation.

"Patriarch, Ruyan was swapped!" a Tian family member said.

"What?" Tian Xiaozi's chest heaved, worsening his already fragile state.

"It must have happened when the ancient divine beast attacked our Tian family. Someone sent by Zhong Shan took her and left behind a counterfeit ghost!" the man explained.

"Zhong Shan? Again Zhong Shan, planning this from so early on? This is too much!" Tian Xiaozi exclaimed, anger overwhelming him.

"Ugh!" Tian Xiaozi coughed up a mouthful of blood from the intense rage.

"Patriarch, you should prioritize your recovery. With the Spring of Life, you should fully recover within ten years. Don't worry about the Tian Vein Empire. Let me handle it!" another person urged with concern.

Shaking his head, Tian Xiaozi said, "We can't hold onto the southern cities we captured. With Xiao Wang, who knows the terrain, as their commander, we can't defend them. Withdraw our forces from the south and consolidate our strength in the central regions of the Tian Vein Empire."

The group gritted their teeth but ultimately nodded in agreement. "Yes!"
