Wen Ping continues to cultivate, confident in his sect's defenses and Elder Wei's curse. Meanwhile, Chen Jianghe's condition worsens despite efforts to heal him. Wei Shengxingyu escalates his curse, burning his lifespan to increase its power, pushing Chen Jianghe to the brink of death.

Just as the two stopped, the speed at which Chen Jianghe was being eroded surged suddenly, and in an instant, he was about to lose control.

Seeing this, the two hurriedly acted to suppress him, holding him down so firmly that he couldn’t move an inch.

“Master, how about I send him on his way?” Zhuo Fengchen spoke up.

A flash of anger passed through the eyes of Endless Celestial Suspension. He didn’t respond to Zhuo Fengchen but gazed far into the direction of Geng Country and spoke in a deep voice, “Old thing, what virtue and ability do you have to control such power! What gives you the right?”

He understood that today he could kill Chen Jianghe.

Tomorrow he could kill him!

It’s just a matter of time.

By then, what could he use to stop it?

Thinking of this, anger welled up in the heart of Endless Celestial Suspension, but he also understood that the root of it all was the Immortal Sect.

Without the Immortal Sect, even if that old thing had miraculously survived, he would merely be a cripple.

Because of the favor of the Immortal Sect, he controlled a power that even the Primordial Vast Power couldn’t restrain.

And because of the Immortal Sect, he dared to seek revenge on him!

“Immortal Sect, why, why do you help this old thing oppose me! What’s in it for you!” Endless Celestial Suspension fumed continuously.

Clearly falling into the Qu Realm, he should have died, but why did he survive against all odds?

Clearly just a complete failure, not even at Earth Unrestricted before dying, how could he gain the favor of the Immortal Sect!

“You want to kill him, then I will save him!” Endless Celestial Suspension angrily retorted, then took an item from the Storage Ring and crushed it.

After crushing it, Endless Celestial Suspension once again unleashed a golden wave, forcing it into Chen Jianghe’s Spirit Body.

Seeing this, Zhuo Fengchen, who stood silently on the side, quickly acted in sync, using his full strength this time! Not only did he force the lake water into Chen Jianghe’s Spirit Body, but he also helped refine and absorb it with the Primordial Vast Power.

As time passed…

An hour.

Two hours.

Three days went by just like that.

Inside the Tower of Knowledge, Weisheng Xingyu gritted his teeth and burned ten more years of life.

This was the fourth decade he burned in these days, and one of the few decades in his life.

The only solace Weisheng Xingyu had was that it wasn’t as exhausting as when he helped the Wood Dragon pass the Thunder Tribulation back then.

Back then, it was a matter of a hundred years!

Finally, he spent half of his life!

This time, up to now, it only cost forty years altogether.

“This decade, it will cost you your life!” With that said, Weisheng Xingyu continued to burn his lifespan.

At the same time, Chen Jianghe’s meridians on the Lake Heart Island began to fracture rapidly, and the Meridian Gate extinguished along with it.

Zhuo Fengchen’s face changed because he knew what the closure of the Meridian Gate meant, he had experienced it before.

The closing of the Meridian Gate is the countdown to death!

“Master, we can’t waste any more, Chen Jianghe is certain to die!” Zhuo Fengchen shouted promptly, for he cherished those resources.

He could only cultivate ten days a year, whereas Chen Jianghe had been force-fed ten years’ worth in just a few days!

This lake, once used, is diminished.

Endless Celestial Suspension didn’t answer because he was waiting!

Waiting for someone!

“Wait a little longer!”

Just then, there was a sudden breeziness at Lake Heart Island.

Because of the great formation’s presence, a breeze was something that shouldn’t appear here.

Feeling the breeze against his face, Endless Celestial Suspension was overjoyed, then quickly looked around, finally fixing his gaze on the left.

On the calm lake surface to the left, Nalan Muhong slowly floated toward Lake Heart Island, his expression as cold as ever, “Why are you here instead of overseeing the war in Geng Country?”

“Senior, help me!” Endless Celestial Suspension retracted his gaze, focusing on Chen Jianghe in front of him, “That old thing Weisheng Xingyu is still alive, not only alive but has also garnered the favor of the Immortal Sect.”

“He was rescued? The Qu Realm is so vast, fishing someone out is like finding a needle in a haystack, I never expected that old thing to have such luck.” Nalan Muhong was not at all surprised, as if he had long predicted Weisheng Xingyu would not die.

“Senior knew he’s still alive?”

“He practices the Rebirth Body, able to resurrect once, but the time of resurrection is uncertain, so I originally had you cast him into the Qu Realm. Dying in the Qu Realm, even if he resurrects, he’ll die again.”

Endless Celestial Suspension froze, “Senior, why didn’t you tell me before?”

With that, Nalan Muhong’s gaze sharpened.

The atmosphere of Lake Heart Island instantly cooled a few degrees.

“Are you questioning me?”

Endless Celestial Suspension’s mind, clouded by anger, instantly became clear, and he spoke in a panic, “I wouldn’t dare! I wouldn’t dare!”

“Senior, please lend a hand; if you don’t, he is doomed!” Seeing the atmosphere turn icy, Zhuo Fengchen quickly knelt down and spoke, full of sincerity and urgency, “Chen Jianghe is under attack from a mysterious power from the Immortal Sect, and is dying step by step; we are completely helpless!”

Zhuo Fengchen brought up the Immortal Sect because he knew a powerhouse like Nalan Muhong was certainly unwilling to save someone at Heaven Unrestricted Upper Realm.

Nor would he care whether Weisheng Xingyu lived or died, but once tangled with the Immortal Sect, it would be different.

Nalan Muhong ignored Zhuo Fengchen, glanced at Chen Jianghe, then looked at Endless Celestial Suspension, “What happened?”

Endless Celestial Suspension quickly recounted the whole story, and when he mentioned that even the Primordial Vast Power couldn’t stop it, Nalan Muhong’s gaze suddenly sharpened, then he suddenly appeared next to Chen Jianghe.

He pressed down with one hand!

Stopping the already raging Chen Jianghe.

A Primordial Vast Power several dozen times larger than that of Endless Celestial Suspension erupted from Nalan Muhong’s body, wrapping Chen Jianghe entirely.

Moments later, a hint of surprise appeared in Nalan Muhong’s eyes because he had thought it was merely Endless Celestial Suspension being too weak, thus helpless. But even with his intervention, he couldn’t stop that mysterious force from eroding Chen Jianghe.
