Chapter 2806: Bringing Him Back

Kill!

Shouts of killing echoed throughout the starry sky.

The most chaotic battle was raging fiercely. The Hong Huang great clans fought with frustration, the cultivators of the myriad heavens battled with resentment, and even the Tian Mo and E Mo fought with pent-up anger. As the fight progressed, it turned into one against two, with all three sides in the same predicament.

On this side, the supreme peaks had already emerged from the black hole.

Upon returning to the starry sky, all the Quasi-Emperors furrowed their brows. The state of the myriad heavens was even more chaotic than when they left, with the entire world thrown into complete disarray.

"Which side to fight?"

Chu Jiang Wang asked, scanning the surroundings.

"Hong Huang."

"Tian Mo."

"E Mo."

"All of them."

The first three responses were nonsense; the last one was the essence. Whether it was Hong Huang, Tian Mo, or E Mo, they were all enemies, so killing them on sight was the way to go.

The Quasi-Emperors immediately dispersed, heading to various battlefields.

With their return, the morale of the myriad heavens soared.

In contrast, the Tian Mo, E Mo, and Hong Huang forces found themselves in an awkward position. Not all the great clans of Hong Huang had been shaken out of the void, and not all the Tian Mo and E Mo had fallen from the black hole. Compared to the myriad heavens, the Hong Huang and Tian Mo-E Mo forces participating in the melee were vastly outnumbered.

"Ruo Xi, wake up."

In the black hole, Ye Chen chased after her while calling out repeatedly.

However, Xiao Ruo Xi remained unresponsive from start to finish.

Her steps still carried that heaven-defying fortune, and no matter how hard Ye Chen pushed himself, he couldn't catch up, only managing to glimpse faint afterimages.

There was a moment when she suddenly stopped.

She stood like a statue of ice, completely still, with only strands of her hair gently fluttering. It was dyed with radiant divine glow and profound Dao essence, carrying an indescribable sense of ancient desolation.

Behind her, Ye Chen finally caught up, panting heavily. He had been injured countless times, his face still pale, and fresh blood occasionally trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The Lingxiao Treasure Hall hummed, conveying some meaning.

Ye Chen understood it well—the power had been accumulated enough to bring Ruo Xi back. As for whether it could truly succeed, Ye Chen had no confidence in the hall. The only issue was that the girl was just too powerful and terrifying.

Still, it was worth trying.

Ye Chen stepped forward, approaching cautiously.

Buzz!

As expected, when he entered a certain domain, a layer of halo spread over Ruo Xi's body, even more domineering than the previous three times.

"Heavenly Dao, activate!"

Ye Chen was prepared. With a cold shout, he unleashed the Great Reincarnation Heavenly Dao to evade the halo; otherwise, the outcome would be miserable.

Two moments later, he was back in the black hole.

Thus, the Reincarnation Eye Power he had gathered over five years was completely depleted. Sending the supreme peaks back earlier had already drained a great deal of his eye power.

So, the old folks from the myriad heavens had just come to cause trouble. Not only did they fail to help, but they also left him covered in injuries. The hard-earned Reincarnation Eye Power was gone in an instant.

Once again, Ye Chen arrived within a hundred zhang of Ruo Xi.

Buzz!

Accompanied by a hum, the treasure hall emerged from its small realm.

Thud!

Ye Chen grunted dully, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood as he collapsed. His entire body had no trace of vital energy left, all because the hall had sucked away all his magical power without any warning.

"You bastard."

Ye Chen got up but couldn't steady himself and fell again.

The once-dominant sacred body, full of vigorous blood, now looked withered and emaciated, reduced to skin and bones. It was clear how thoroughly the Lingxiao Treasure Hall had drained him—it took everything.

Buzz! Buzz!

The hall trembled mightily, borrowing Ye Chen's magical power as its divine glow surged. The majestic hall, towering like a mountain, pressured the heavens and earth, actually drawing Ruo Xi into it.

"It worked."

Ye Chen smiled wearily. Seeing Ruo Xi retrieved made the loss of his magical power worthwhile. With the Lingxiao Treasure Hall suppressing her, the girl should settle down.

He sat cross-legged, swallowing handfuls of pills to restore his magical power as much as possible. If an emperor-level Tian Mo appeared now, he would be doomed—his combat strength was less than ten percent, his body was full of wounds, and even his Reincarnation Eye Power was exhausted.

Buzz!

The Chaos Cauldron emerged sensibly from its small realm to guard him, followed by the Chaos Fire and Heavenly Thunder. Even the Xianwu Emperor Sword came out; in the darkness, they had to huddle together for warmth.

He sat like this for three days.

For three days, Ruo Xi showed no abnormalities, standing quietly in the hall without moving or speaking. The aura of ancient desolation resonated with the Lingxiao Hall.

Over those three days, the great war in the myriad heavens intensified, with the universe still in chaos. More Hong Huang clans were drawn out, and more Tian Mo and E Mo fell from the black hole.

The shattered starry sky was shrouded in another layer of blood.

On the fourth day, Ye Chen finally opened his eyes. He had replenished his magical power, healed his sacred body, and remolded his sacred bones, though he still lacked the strength to repair his small world, which remained in ruins.

"Next time you suck my magical power, at least give me a heads-up."

Ye Chen glanced at the treasure hall before surveying the myriad heavens.

The flames of war in the myriad heavens had not extinguished. Even through the black hole's barrier, he could hear the shouts of killing. The three sides—the myriad heavens, Tian Mo and E Mo, and Hong Huang—were locked in an extremely chaotic battle, filling the starry sky with people and turmoil.

Ye Chen took a deep breath; he wanted to go out, but without eye power, he could only watch helplessly. However, from the state of the starry sky battle, the myriad heavens held an absolute advantage.

After retracting his gaze, he entered the Lingxiao Hall.

The still-standing Ruo Xi showed no reaction.

"Not bad, quite beautiful."

"These measurements, hmm, about right."

"Chu Xuan's are a bit larger."

Ye Chen stroked his chin, circling around Xiao Ruo Xi, looking her over from head to toe and back again. She was identical to Chu Xuan, Chu Ling, and the Wulei City's Wulei—all equally stunning.

As he looked, he reached out his hand.

Buzz!

Before he could touch Ruo Xi's cheek, the Lingxiao Hall hummed, as if angry or scolding—pretending to be proper, you shameless thing!

Ye Chen coughed dryly and pulled his hand back.

Not to boast, if the Lingxiao Hall weren't watching, he might do something fun, like studying why Ruo Xi was so strong; touching her cheek; patting her backside. Hmm, that feel should be quite soft. After being knocked down three times, he deserved some compensation, especially with his body still covered in injuries.

Alas, the hall was too spiritually aware and kept an eye on him.

Speaking of spiritual awareness, Ye Chen clasped his hands.

"I have some questions; mind answering them."

"No need for words, just buzz once."

These words were directed at the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

"Is she the ancient Heavenly Court Empress?"

Ye Chen's first question went straight to the point.

The Lingxiao Hall gave no response.

"Is she your master?"

The hall still didn't respond.

"At her peak, did her cultivation surpass that of an emperor?"

The massive hall remained silent.

Ye Chen took a deep breath and reached out again, touching and even pinching Ruo Xi's cheek. It was indeed very smooth.

Buzz!

The silent Lingxiao Hall finally responded with a hum, shaking Ye Chen and making his eyes see stars. As soon as he steadied himself, he was flung out.

Clearly, the hall had thrown him out—you shameless bastard, how dare you touch her? Do you even know who she is?

In the black hole, Ye Chen finally came to a stop.

The Lingxiao Hall's shake packed quite a punch.

Just as he thought, that majestic Lingxiao Treasure Hall had no intention of answering him. It ignored all his questions but got fired up the moment he touched Ruo Xi's cheek.

"When I reach great accomplishment, I'll smash you to pieces."

Ye Chen cursed darkly—your master was the one I picked up, after all. I've even held her while sleeping. Doesn't know the meaning of gratitude at all!
