In the blink of an eye, both Mr. Nian and Yun Yang had disappeared without a trace.
He had no lingering feelings for this strange lake that he had created with his own hands.
What Mr. Nian did not know was that his departure meant that he had truly lost the best chance to kill Supreme Cloud!
The moment Yun Yang landed, the spiritual restraining formation had been successfully activated.
Yun Yang's shapeshifting ability had completely vanished at that moment, reverting to his human form. Due to the backlash of the arcane art, he had fallen into a coma and could only drift forward along with the underground river …
Mr. Nian only needed to jump into the underground river and search ahead. He would be able to find Yun Yang within a few dozen miles! He would be able to kill him effortlessly!
However, he had not thought of this.
After all, Supreme Water had transformed into water and his ability to hide in water form was too deeply ingrained in people's minds. Mr. Nian would never believe that his ability would be sealed by the spiritual restraining formation when he had successfully escaped under such circumstances.
What was more, someone who possessed the ability to create such an earth-shattering event would faint because he could not withstand the backlash. It did not make sense at all.
Therefore, Mr. Nian had easily let go of the once-in-a-lifetime chance to kill Supreme Cloud!
Yun Yang, who had reverted to his physical form, had been swept far away by the underground river. Unconscious, he could only drift with the current passively. When he woke up again, he was surprised to find himself at the edge of a shallow pool.
Looking around, he realized that there was a huge mountain behind him. It was a lofty mountain with steep ridges and lush greenery as far as his eyes could see. Looking from afar, he could not help but feel at ease.
A stream of water, like a raging dragon, gushed out from a deep cave, seemingly endless.
Yun Yang woke up slowly. As he scanned his surroundings subconsciously, he almost fainted again before he could rejoice at the fact that he had survived the ordeal.
Closing his eyes almost instinctively and breathing in the fresh air, Yun Yang was finally sure that he was still alive!
In the next moment, it was not to rejoice that he had escaped death but to be assaulted by endless agony.
His head felt like it was about to explode.
The sudden pain caused Yun Yang to spasm. He wanted to roar to vent some of the pain, but he was shocked to realize that he could not even make a sound. It was as if his throat was being sliced by thousands of knives.
But at this moment, the physical pain was nothing in comparison.
The key was his brain. It was like countless stars exploding in his brain one after another.
Yun Yang was in excruciating pain, his eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets. He tried his best to control his mystical Qi to suppress the strange state of his body, but he realized that his dantian was empty; there was not even a trace of mystical Qi left.
Yun Yang cultivated the Endless Divine Art in agony, only to realize that the divine art that had been with him ever since he had returned to the world had disappeared from his body.
He wanted to open his sea of consciousness and ask for Emmie's help, but he was still disappointed. He could not connect with his sea of consciousness at the moment!
His cultivation base, mystical skill, deific consciousness, dantian, and sea of Qi were all silent. They were even worse than ordinary people!
Feeling the endless pain that was like the waves of the ocean, wave after wave, Yun Yang had the urge to commit suicide countless times in just a short quarter of an hour.
Yun Yang used the only finger of his right hand that he could move to grip a large rock beside him, gripping it tightly until his finger bones were broken. Blood dripped from his wound, but he could not feel the pain from his finger wound at all. All he could feel was the incessant stabbing pain in his mind.
Wave after wave, again and again, it was as if there was no end to it …
"I want revenge!"
Unable to make a sound, Yun Yang was roaring in his heart, using his will to fight against the endless pain.
"My brothers are still waiting for me to avenge them!"
"I have to hold on no matter what. To be able to escape from this battle means that the heavens have not forsaken me."
"I can't give up, I can't give up on everyone's blood feud!"
"I … I must annihilate the Four Seasons Tower and kill Mr. Nian and all those who ambushed our brothers that day!"
"I'll never give up if I don't avenge this!"
Yun Yang's eyes bulged, his temples throbbing. His veins bulged like two raging dragons. He gritted his teeth, allowing blood to flow from the corners of his mouth.
At this moment, he no longer dared to cry out. He was afraid that if he opened his mouth to cry out, his willpower would completely collapse!
He shut his mouth tightly, gritted his teeth, and gripped the rock with his fingers. It was obvious that he no longer had the slightest bit of profound energy to support his broken fingers, but they were actually … slowly … slowly embedded into the rock …
The hard rock that had been washed by the water for who knew how many years slowly began to show signs of being scratched.
Yun Yang's eyes stared straight ahead, unblinking, as if there was a great temptation in front of him, but it was actually just an ordinary scenery that could be seen everywhere.
Yun Yang's mind was filled with images of his brothers coming to him, their gentle and comforting gazes.
"Brother!"
"Xiao Jiu!"
"Hang in there!"
"We're all waiting for you!"
"Supreme Cloud can't fall! The Nine Supremes can't be annihilated! "
"Remember to avenge us!"
The warm words were still in his ears, comforting Yun Yang's parched heart. The scene changed abruptly, turning into a sea of blood and mountains of corpses. Blood and broken limbs littered the ground while crows cawed in the sky. Pairs of eyes that had died with grievances stared at the sky, their gazes frozen with grief and indignation.
Those were his brothers!
His eight brothers!
His eight hundred brothers!
Mr. Nian's voice rang like the devil again. "That's Supreme Earth, isn't it? Heh, he's been beaten until his flesh and blood burst … "
"Who's the other Supreme? Seeing that Supreme Earth is dead, he actually went crazy and charged over to seek his own death. Coincidentally, he was slashed into two with a single slash.
A hoarse growl escaped Yun Yang's throat. There was only madness in his gaze. Hints of savagery flashed through his frozen gaze.
Then, his father appeared!
His wrinkled face was still smiling warmly. "Child, do you know how to make the Chinese cabbage and tofu that I've taught you? Is it delicious? "
Yun Zuiyue, who was dressed in white, looked at him sadly. "Young brother, don't give up. You mustn't give up …"
The scene changed again. It was Dongxuan's million-strong army, ready for battle. Han Sanhe, who was overseeing the army, was issuing an order spontaneously, "Today, we shall finish this battle in one fell swoop. We shall annihilate Yutang, we shall not return without victory!"
The flags of the four-nation coalition army covered the sky. Countless men and horses swarmed into the peaceful homes of Yutang's people. Countless innocent people were struggling under the iron hooves, howling and crying in despair.
"Nine Supremes Lords …"
"Save us, Nine Supremes Lords …"
"Nine Supremes Lords, where are you?"
…
The Spiritual Restraining Formation – the Spiritual Restraining Formation had appeared again!
The Four Seasons Tower!
A domineering voice rang out, "Kill the Nine Supremes, there shall be no saint in the universe. Only the Four Seasons Tower shall dominate the world!"
Yun Yang's eyes were wide open, watching the images flash before his eyes. He stared at them without blinking, enduring the boundless pain …
The agony that Yun Yang was currently enduring, even if it was only a quarter of an hour, was enough to turn a man of steel who was not afraid of death into a soft worm. Even if a hundred people were to perform the Tendon Dislocation Skill on one person at the same time, it would not be as painful as a hundredth of this!
If it had been anyone else, they would have long been overwhelmed and given up. After all, living like this was much more difficult than dying!
However, Yun Yang had endured it.
Endured it.
He had endured it for a whole day and night!
When Yun Yang was restrained by the Spiritual Restraining Formation previously, not only did it render his water manifestation ineffective, it had also caused the Primordial Borrowing Art to go out of control and cause him to suffer an unprecedented injury. In addition, he had lost his cultivation base, mystical skill, and deific consciousness. Now, he could not even move a muscle. His right hand, the only part of his body that could move, had been crippled by Yun Yang himself!
Yun Yang, who could not move, was left with only his sense of sight and touch. He could feel the light before his eyes slowly dimming, turning into darkness. The stars twinkled, the night fog and the cold wind blew slowly, the sky was overcast … A chill fell on his face.
It was snowing!
Was it snowing again?
The side of his face gradually turned silvery-white as the heavy snow fell from the sky. His eyes that were once glaring in anger were gradually covered by the white snow, and he could no longer see what was before him.
However, the flame in his heart burned higher and higher while the pain in his head grew more intense, not slowing down even as time passed.
Streaks of blood seeped slowly from the snow that had been frozen on his face. Then, it was frozen again, seeped out again, and froze again …
Yun Yang remained motionless, the excruciating pain in his head making his heart churn.
"I have to hold on no matter what!"
"I have to get through this! Only by getting through this can I seek revenge! "
The night passed slowly as the snow grew thicker. Yun Yang was completely covered by the white snow.
With Yun Yang's current physical condition where he had lost his cultivation base and was severely injured, the snow alone was enough to endanger his life!
The next day, at dawn …
"Argh!"
A roar that was so hoarse that it was almost inaudible but it had exhausted all of Yun Yang's energy gushed out of his mouth.
At the same time, a gust of white air spurted out of his mouth along with the "argh". He could finally move!
The excruciating pain in his head was still there, but it was much lighter than yesterday.
Occasionally, when a wave of pain came, the two green veins on Yun Yang's temples would bulge and his brain would sink into the excruciating pain that felt like it was being torn apart.
However, as long as he could get through this wave of pain, he would be able to catch his breath!
Compared to the agony that had lasted for an entire night, the slight respite he had now was more than enough for Yun Yang to feel relieved.
Yun Yang could not help but let his imagination run wild. After going through this painful training, he believed that ninety-nine percent of the punishments in this world would be ineffective on him. Even if all of them were applied to him at once, Yun Yang was confident that he could hold on until he died without making a single sound.
The so-called punishment, compared to what he was experiencing now, compared to the agony … was truly insignificant, not even worth mentioning!
Yun Yang panted and tried to control his body to move. He placed his right hand on the ground, trying to prop himself up. Another wave of pain assaulted him. This time, the pain did not originate from his brain but from his right hand, where his broken fingers were. Then, the physical pain throughout his body seemed to have been awakened from its slumber and flared up like a tidal wave.
Yun Yang grunted in agony.
The physical pain was unusually intense, but it was still not something that could be endured by ordinary people. However, Yun Yang, who had been assaulted by the extreme pain in his brain for a day and night, was still able to tolerate it, even though he was not to the extent of ignoring it.
His body moved with great effort, moved a little, moved again, and with a flip, he finally moved away from his original position, and with another flip, he was back to facing the sky, the ice and snow that had covered his face for the whole night had all fallen off.
What appeared in front of Yun Yang now was a dusky sky.
Snow was still fluttering like goose feathers.
However, the icy coldness that fell on his face seemed to be able to lessen his pain a little.
Only then did Yun Yang have the time to check on his current physical condition, to confirm the extent of the damage he had sustained.
He vaguely remembered that his right leg seemed to have been broken in the underground river. Even the slightest movement from his tibia would cause him pain. What was even more frightening was that he could not feel the lower half of his right leg. Yun Yang wanted to confirm the situation but he could not straighten himself, so he could only touch it with his hands. Finally, the broken part of his right leg was still attached to his body, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Other than his broken right leg, his left arm was broken into a few pieces as well, hanging by his side like a snake. Three to four of his ribs were broken as well. The situation was out of Yun Yang's expectation … Good.
He had thought that he would have at least eight to nine broken ribs, but only three to four were broken. Yun Yang was pleasantly surprised.
His right arm had been preserved among his four limbs, but it was a pity that he had committed suicide and crushed it. All five of his fingers were broken and bloody.
Lastly, his left leg was completely numb, but there was no sense of pain. It must have been a problem with his posture.
When he turned over just now, he felt a sizable wound on the back of his head. There was no blood, so it must have formed a scar.
It was the same with his external injuries; there was not a single spot that was not injured. Yun Yang wanted to use his internal vision to check on his internal injuries, but he realized that he still could not muster any spiritual energy after a night. However, the injuries to his internal organs seemed to be equally severe.
What confused Yun Yang the most was Emmie. He could not contact Emmie at all. This also meant that he could not use his biggest trump card, the super cheat of life force!
As for Whitey and Jiji, they had been thrown into Emmie's space by Yun Yang. Now, he could not find anyone to help him even if he wanted to.
Yun Yang laid on the muddy ground, panting as he controlled his breathing. "The injury this time feels more serious than the battle at Tianxuan Cliff!"
"At least Emmie could save me last time, but this time, even Emmie is silent."
Yun Yang sighed.
"However, it seems that my current situation doesn't match the few possibilities Emmie mentioned."
"I didn't perish on the spot, I didn't become an idiot, and I didn't become an invincible expert … Even the possibility of becoming an ordinary person doesn't seem to be …"
Yun Yang could clearly feel that his dantian was not crippled. Although he could not muster any mystical Qi now, it was only because of his injuries and exhaustion.
After recovering a little, he could still muster mystical Qi.
"This means that I'm not crippled."
Yun Yang felt that he could actually find a shred of comfort in such a hopeless and tragic situation.
However, Emmie was right about one thing.
The power that belonged to the Nine Supremes in his body was gone! Not even a trace of its existence was left behind!
However, Yun Yang realized that there seemed to be another strange force in his body. However, this force did not listen to his command …
Yun Yang did not know how lucky he was.
Why was Emmie unwilling to use this method until the very end? It was because Yun Yang had no hope of pulling through! If he used it, only death awaited him.
To use the power of a mortal to activate the treasure of heaven's will, to communicate with the power of the stars and infuse it into the human body!
What kind of physique could withstand such an enormous force?
How much power does a star have? It could be said that a star could be a Tianxuan Continent!
It could even be bigger than the Tianxuan Continent!
Even if it was a smaller star, how small could it be if it could exist in the night sky for eternity?
To activate the power of the stars in one go, what kind of person could eat tens of thousands of Tianxuan Continents in one go? Everything else aside, even if Yun Yang were to consume all the treasures of heaven and earth in the Tianxuan Continent right now, it would be enough for him to explode a thousand times!
Although each star transmitted an insignificant amount of energy to the celestial body, there were too many of them!
Yun Yang was not supposed to be spared!
However, the most fortunate thing was that Mr. Nian had activated the Spiritual Restraining Formation the moment the starlight shone down on him.
The spiritual restraining formation weakened a portion of the power of the stars while Yun Yang immediately entered the underground river, preventing most of the star's power from entering due to the spiritual restraining formation's influence.
When the power of the stars broke through the spiritual restraining formation, Yun Yang was already in the underground river, drifting far away.
Just like that, the power of the stars fell on the ground and into the Funnel Lake. From there, it became a blessed land. In time, spiritual herbs would surely appear in droves.
On the other hand, Yun Yang had managed to escape the danger of exploding. Due to the spiritual restraining formation, Yun Yang's human form had sealed a portion of the power of the stars in his body.
This power of the stars was the force that Yun Yang felt, but it was not the mystical Qi force that Yun Yang thought it was.
Half a day later, the sun was high up in the sky.
Yun Yang took a deep breath and rolled around. Using his broken arm to support himself, he finally managed to sit up.
It was only then that he realized that he was on a beach. Beneath him was sand that was as fine as powder. Less than half a foot in front of him, a river gushed into the distance.
One of his legs was still soaking in the water.
He turned his head, wanting to look elsewhere, but he heard a cracking sound coming from his neck. It was so painful that he was almost tearing up. His neck bone had been dislocated.
After confirming his position, he shrugged his shoulders and twisted his neck with a loud crack, turning the dislocated part back. He shuddered in pain.
His neck could finally turn.
Covered in mud and ragged, Yun Yang felt like a zombie that had crawled out of a grave.
Around him, the mountains and rivers were covered in snow. Looking around, there were no footprints on the snowy ground, only a few shallow triangular paw prints. Some kind of bird must have stopped there.
With his current strength, he would never be able to walk out. However, this place seemed to be deserted.
He recalled the legends about a certain senior who fell into the abyss or the underground river, always encountering a fortuitous encounter, meeting an unparalleled expert, and learning an invincible martial art skill …
Yun Yang looked left and right, but there seemed to be no trace of any fortuitous encounter or expert. Instead, he was about to starve to death.
When he was trapped, Emmie provided him with energy, so he did not feel hungry. Now, however, his body was made of flesh and blood; he would starve to death if he did not eat.
He still wore the spatial ring given by Lei Dongtian on his finger, but without mystical Qi, he could not even open the ring.
Yun Yang moved his body with great difficulty. Just pulling his feet out of the water and turning his body bit by bit on the beach was already so painful that he almost fainted several times.
Then, he found a place he could lean on and leaned against his back. Only then did he dare to lie down and open his mouth to swallow the snow that was covered in mud and sand from his movement.
Swallowing a mouthful of snow, he felt that his stomach was frozen as well, but his spirits were lifted.
After a dozen mouthfuls, the last mouthful of snow melted in his mouth and he spat out the mud and sand. Yun Yang sighed and realized that he could speak now.
Enduring the pain in his throat, he called out hoarsely, "Is there anyone here?"
It was quiet all around; there was no reply.
Yun Yang immediately stopped this unwise action. Looking around, he was now under the riverbed and there was a groove in front of him. Even if someone passed by, they would not be able to see him.
Besides, his voice was too weak and could not travel far. A few more cries would exhaust his remaining strength.
What he needed the most now was to save himself.
Yun Yang used both his arms and legs to crawl forward on the snowy ground, ignoring his broken limbs.
There was a gentle slope in front of him.
In the river below the slope, Yun Yang noticed that there were a few stones covered in snow. That was where the water flow was relatively slow and the river was not deep.
Then, what were these stones for?
It meant that someone was crossing the river.
Using these stones as a cushion.
If that was the case, although the slope was covered in snow, it was also a path that must be taken to cross the river.
Yun Yang could see that side from where he was, but if he were to look over, he would not be able to see Yun Yang due to the cliff. Therefore, what Yun Yang needed to do now was to climb over there!
It was only a distance of a hundred feet.
Usually, Yun Yang could jump over it with his eyes closed, but now, this distance of a hundred feet was like a thousand mountains and rivers to Yun Yang!
It was so difficult to cross it!
He crawled on the snowy ground bit by bit, trying to control his balance using his chin, his broken arm, his shoulder, and even his abdomen …
Inch by inch, he inched forward.
He had to control himself and not slide back because of the icy snow when he crawled forward …
It was noon when he started crawling over from the river.
However, it was already dark when he reached the edge of the slope.
Yun Yang could no longer hold on. He laid quietly on the snowy ground and fainted. Before he fainted, he could only stretch his bleeding right hand forward and place it higher than his body on the snowy ground.
This way, if someone came by, even if his body was covered in snow, he could still see his hand. He could also see the fresh red of blood …
After doing all this, Yun Yang fainted.
The rest was up to the heavens.
If someone passed by and had a kind heart, he would still have a sliver of hope.
If no one passed by, or if those who passed by ignored him, then he might have to leave this world forever!
"Brothers, if you can see me from heaven, send someone to save me …"
Yun Yang mumbled to himself in his coma.
