Past life memories
Outside the barrier, three Sky Guardians clad in dark gold armor floated in the void, forming a triangular formation.
Three thick, dark golden beams of light shot from the tips of their bone staffs, intertwining in the air and coalescing into a torrent of spiritual energy. Aimed at the weakest point of the barrier, it was about to crash down upon it!
Inside the secret realm, everyone was alarmed by this sudden change!
Master Qingxuan was the first to notice the three people outside the barrier! His hair and beard stood on end, and despite his injuries, he continued to urge the remaining lightning energy to reinforce the barrier, with blood constantly spilling from the corner of his mouth.
Chu Yunfan's face turned pale. He shot silver needles at the cracks in the barrier like raindrops, trying to slow down the collapse, but to little avail.
Tiepan roared and plunged his heavy shield deep into the ground in front of the crack, attempting to withstand the aftershocks with his bare body.
Mo Yun and Ling Shuang unleashed their full talismanic power, but its light was quickly swallowed up by the dark golden torrent. The priests desperately protected Fang Li, their protective aura dimmed considerably.
Just as the torrent of dark gold was about to touch the barrier.
"Buzz—!!!"
A sword intent pierced through layers of void and suddenly descended!
"Crack—Boom!!!"
The icy blue sword energy struck the front of the dark gold torrent! It instantly pierced through the torrent.
The barrier was shattered by the sword energy, and the backlash made the three Sky Guards feel as if they had been hit by a heavy hammer. They all groaned and staggered backward, their eyes behind their masks filled with horror!
Ye Wuyang stepped out from the void, his aura as a peak Nascent Soul cultivator enveloping the entire area.
His face was as cold as jade, and his gaze swept over the nearly broken barrier and the seriously injured people before finally settling on Fang Li.
A flicker of heartache and boundless rage crossed those eyes that had been frozen in time.
The combined pressure of Ye Wuyang's Nascent Soul transformation and the power of the laws of the upper realm contained in the Sky Patrol Guard formation, like a heavy hammer, smashed open the memory seals deep within the souls of Shen Yunzhou, Ji Qianqiu, Xie Chen, and Fang Li.
"Ugh—!" Shen Yunzhou suddenly clutched his head and roared, his sword energy erupting out of control!
Countless fragments of memories rushed into his mind: the fierce battle on the battlefield between immortals and demons, the trembling and humility he felt when gazing at her back, and the single tear of glass he saw before he shielded her from the fatal blow and his soul was annihilated...
When she opened her eyes again, those once clear and sharp eyes had become even deeper, filled with the vicissitudes and weariness of countless reincarnations. But the gaze she gave Fang Li in the Spirit Sea was more ardent than ever before.
Ji Qianqiu roared to the sky from beneath the ancient tree, his bronze-colored blood surging and forming a crimson pillar of light that shot into the sky, his fighting spirit soaring to the heavens!
Memories awaken like a surging blood vessel: the heroic spirit of galloping across the starry sea and conquering countless realms; the exhilarating feeling of drinking heartily with Liuli amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, fighting side by side, and laughing as they defeated their enemies; that deep-seated admiration, which I dared not utter aloud out of self-consciousness…
Xie Chen's jade fan fell to the ground with a "thud." In his originally clear eyes, it seemed as if billions of stars were born, evolved, and then suddenly vanished. Countless profound deduction runes flowed wildly at an unprecedented speed!
"So that's how it is, the destiny of Starfall Glazed Glass," he murmured softly, his voice hoarse. The memories and power of the Starfall Pavilion Master flooded back: his control over the celestial bodies, his deduction of the universe's mysteries, his discussions with Glazed Glass beneath the vast dome of the cosmos, the unspoken moments of tacit understanding while playing chess with the Milky Way, the unspoken emotions he held deep within his heart, born from his understanding of the impermanence of fate and his own solitary destiny…
Ye Wuyang's figure outside the barrier swayed slightly and instantly appeared at the edge of the spiritual sea.
Looking at Fang Li's face, which had fallen into a coma again due to the shock of the memory.
He subconsciously reached out, his fingertips swirling with gentle ice-elemental immortal energy, his voice low and husky: "...Liuli."
Just then, Fang Li slowly woke up.
Before he even opened his eyes, he sensed the chill and his body jerked back before his mind could react, narrowly avoiding the fingers that were about to touch him.
Fang Li opened her eyes to see an icy face: 【“Commander! Commander! Are you awake! It’s him, it’s him, it’s definitely him! That eternally icy face! He was putting on airs in front of me just now, while I was in seclusion! He summoned me directly to the Forgotten Dust Palace! It made me vomit blood! He even gave me his intimidating aura, just waving his hand and telling me to come and go, what a dog of a man!!”】
Commander: [Master! I'm not dead! I'm still alive! Hahahaha!]
[Host! Host! What's going on? Let me see your memories!]
Wow! It's the real Daolu Ge (a nickname for a male companion/partner)! Alive! And smells of ice!
[Host, look! The target's heart rate is erratic! His immortal energy is fluctuating violently! His fingertips are trembling for 0.01 seconds! He's panicking! He's definitely panicking! Micro-expression analysis: Lip tightness increased by 15%, eye contact avoidance rate 30%!]
Ye Wuyang's outstretched hand suddenly froze in mid-air, the gentle wisp of ice-type immortal energy at her fingertips slightly disordered due to the fluctuation of her emotions.
Fang Li's crystal-clear words, "You dog of a man," pierced his ears like an ice pick, causing his eyes to darken suddenly, a hint of pain and regret flashing across them.
He suppressed all his emotions, withdrew his hand expressionlessly, and forced his tone back to its usual cold indifference: "It's good that you're alright." But his tightly pursed lips, his slightly turned gaze that dared not meet her eyes, and his quietly clenched fist all clearly revealed his helplessness and panic.
Master Qingxuan immediately noticed the awkwardness between the two.
He stepped forward, his voice urgent: "Senior brother! You've come at the right time! We face powerful enemies outside and hidden dangers within. The secret realm is in grave danger and we must deal with it immediately!"
Ye Wuyang turned around smoothly, took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed all his emotions, and his eyes instantly sharpened. He locked onto the three Sky Guards outside the barrier, whose auras had stabilized again, and who were now filled with suspicion and even stronger killing intent.
"Hmm," he replied calmly, his voice regaining its steady tone. The Ice Crystal Sword emitted a sword cry, automatically hovering in front of him, its tip pointing directly outwards. "Leave the outside world to me. You all deal with the inside."
At that very moment—
"Boom!!!"
A violent roar suddenly came from the sealed land deep within the Spirit Sea! The entire secret realm trembled! The chaotic spiritual energy within the Spirit Sea, which had just calmed down, surged wildly again, even forming several huge vortexes!
Fang Li's expression changed drastically as soon as she took the pill Chu Yunfan handed her. She could clearly feel the painful cries and rapid loss of the secret realm's origin, and a strong sense of crisis gripped her heart.
She abruptly stood up, looking in the direction from which the roar came, her voice filled with unwavering resolve: "There's no time! The guys in the sealed land can't wait! We have to get there immediately!"
Fang Li, Shen Yunzhou, Ji Qianqiu, Xie Chen, and Chu Yunfan quickly left the main battlefield and sped towards the source of the spiritual energy loss deep within the secret realm.
The deeper one goes, the more bizarre the surrounding environment becomes. The once relatively stable secret realm space becomes fragmented here, with thick, chaotic mist rolling and obscuring the view, and even mixed with a trace of terrifying and violent aura.
The ground beneath their feet was riddled with cracks, and fragments of ancient and powerful sealing runes remained, but most of them were now dull and even broken.
As they passed through the last distorted barrier of mist, the sight before them brought the five to a sudden halt, their hearts sinking.
