Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 278: The True Defender

"Sir, are you the Defender of the Dragon Hidden Continent?"

The black-robed youth fixed his one eye on Ye Yun and said solemnly.

However, to his astonishment, the white-robed young man shook his head and said something entirely unexpected.

"I am not," Ye Yun said.

"You’re not the Defender?"

The black-robed youth was instantly stunned, his breathing quickening.

At that moment, the void rippled. A figure suddenly emerged from within.

Seeing this green-robed elder, Ye Yun smiled and, pointing at him, said, "He is the Defender."

Seeing another powerful True God Realm Cultivator appear, the black-robed youth felt his vision dim.

After the green-robed elder appeared, he suddenly spotted a familiar white figure, and his face instantly lit up with pleasant surprise.

"Greetings, friend."

The green-robed elder quickly clasped his fists and spoke respectfully.

Ye Yun glanced at him, his eyes twinkling, and smiled. "You’ve done well to break through. Congratulations."

A joyous smile spread across the green-robed elder’s face. He nodded repeatedly and said with a laugh, "It’s all thanks to your Breaking God Pill, friend. Otherwise, I would never have been able to break through."

"The Dragon Hidden Continent is called God’s Forsaken Land. Could a Breaking God Pill actually enable a breakthrough here?" The black-robed youth suddenly considered a possibility and couldn’t help but blurt it out.

Ye Yun was slightly taken aback.

"What you say has some merit..." The green-robed elder glanced indifferently at the heavily injured black-robed youth, then turned back to Ye Yun, his expression shifting to a smile as he said, "I was stuck at the pinnacle of the True God Realm First Level for a very long time. Although I was affected by the Curse upon entering the Dragon Hidden Continent, with the aid of an external item like the Breaking God Pill, there’s still a chance to break through to the next minor realm. Friend, my luck was exceptionally good, so I happened to break through."

Hearing this explanation, Ye Yun came to a sudden realization.

Having figured this out, Ye Yun’s gaze returned to the black-robed youth.

"Since you’ve broken through, friend, you’ve reached a new state entirely..." Ye Yun clasped his fists and smiled courteously.

"I can live a little longer now, but that’s about all, haha! Now that I’m Cursed, breaking through to the True God Realm Third Level is utterly impossible..." The green-robed elder laughed, appearing quite nonchalant and philosophical about it. With a grateful expression, he continued, "To have broken through to the Second Level of the True God Realm is already deeply satisfying for me."

"With such a mindset, friend, you might travel even further on the path of the Great Dao in the future..." Ye Yun said with a chuckle.

"Heh, let’s leave it to fate..." The green-robed elder laughed heartily.

"COUGH, COUGH!"

At this, the black-robed youth’s injuries flared up, causing him to cough repeatedly, spitting out blood with each spasm.

"Which faction from the Divine Land are you from? Why did you enter the Dragon Hidden Continent? Did you not know how perilous this place is?" The green-robed elder turned, his hands clasped behind his back, his expression cold as he gazed at the black-robed youth.

"I knew. How could I not know? But I had no choice. If I hadn’t fled here, I would never have been able to shake off my pursuers..." Facing the Defender’s questioning, a wan smile touched the black-robed youth’s lips. The smile tugged at his wounds, causing him to spit out several more mouthfuls of blood.

"I can allow you to rest here for a time. Afterward, I will send you out..."
