In the dark and desolate universe, the void beast was as tired as a dead dog, panting heavily.
However, due to Ling Xian's prowess, it could only summon its natural talent and once again build a tunnel.
"This is the last time. If I fail, then the Heavens want me dead."
Ling Xian softly sighed. His body was in a terrible state. Though the tunnel was very stable, the pressure of the universe was everywhere.
Therefore, his body was getting worse and worse and was on the verge of disintegrating.
Based on Ling Xian's estimation, he could at most last another half a day. If he doesn't arrive at a planet with life before then, then he will die for sure.
"Aye, I hope so."
Ling Xian silently sighed. Then, he marched forward in giant steps and stepped into the tunnel.
The beast of space did the same.
Just as the man and the beast stepped in, the tunnel began to shake. Then, cracks began to appear all around and the tunnel was showing signs of collapsing.
This made Ling Xian's expression change.
The tunnel before was very stable. There weren't even any vibrations, let alone cracks. Once a crack appears, it means the tunnel is about to collapse. When that happens, space turbulence will appear.
Remember that space turbulence is terrifying. Even if Ling Xian was at his peak, he had to be careful, let alone the heavily injured Ling Xian.
Therefore, why wouldn't his expression change?
The beast of space's expression changed as well. Without a doubt, it was one of the beings that understood space the most. It naturally knew what a collapsing tunnel meant.
If it was at its peak, then it could've stabilized it. But in its current state, it didn't have the ability to do so!
It was heavily injured and far too tired. Even building a tunnel was tiring, let alone stabilizing it.
It was also because of this that the spatial passageway had collapsed.
"The Heavens really do want me dead …"
Ling Xian bitterly smiled. Looking at the increasing number of cracks, he finally felt hopeless.
The beast of space reacted the same way.
It looked at Ling Xian bitterly, as if saying, if you didn't force me to summon my natural technique again and again, would the tunnel have collapsed?
"Sorry, I dragged you into this." Ling Xian shook his head with a bitter smile.
This was an undeniable fact. If he didn't make the beast build the tunnel again and again, the tunnel wouldn't have collapsed and the beast wouldn't be in such a desperate situation.
Therefore, Ling Xian felt a little apologetic.
Seeing this, the void beast drooped its head in dejection.
The situation was already very clear. It wouldn't be long before the spatial passageway completely collapsed. At that time, no one would survive.
"I'm not willing to die like this …"
Ling Xian softly sighed. Remembering the ugly faces of the nine leaders of the City of Demon Defending, hatred and unwillingness flooded his eyes.
However, there was nothing he could do.
If he was at his peak, he might have a chance of surviving the spatial turbulence. However, he was heavily injured, so the chances of him surviving were close to zero.
However, Ling Xian did not want to give up.
Hope was indeed equivalent to zero, but hope had always been created by oneself. Therefore, he forced himself to focus and set up a Heaven and Earth Array.
Of course, it was an incomplete version. In his current state, he was unable to set up a complete version of the Universe Formation.
Seeing that Ling Xian was setting up the array, the beast lifted its head and determination filled its eyes.
It immediately let out a loud and clear cry, and the space around it instantly warped to form a strange shield.
At the same time, it made a space shield for Ling Xian.
Ling Xian was a little startled by this, but he smiled, "I caused you to fall into a hopeless situation. You are going to ignore me and make me a shield?"
Hearing this, the void beast growled twice and vaguely conveyed a message.
They were both in the same predicament. At the moment of life and death, they should help each other.
This made Ling Xian smile and he patted the beast's head, "That's right. I recognize you as my friend. If I don't die today, I will repay you handsomely in the future."
Hearing this, the void beast revealed a look of joy. But when it remembered the turbulence in space, its mood dropped.
"I've done my best. I'll leave it to fate."
Ling Xian patted the beast's head, "You and I have done our best. Even if we die, there is nothing to regret."
Hearing this, the Void Beast released two low cries, a bit sorrowful.
This made Ling Xian sigh deeply. He didn't say anything and quietly waited for the turbulence in space to arrive.
Just like that, time passed by little by little.
After some time, the space tunnel completely crumbled and the turbulence arrived.
At once, an indescribably terrifying force engulfed everything. The void beast and Ling Xian were the first to be hit.
This force was far too terrifying. Like a legendary blade, it made both Ling Xian and the beast bleed and their injuries worsened.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that in an instant, hundreds of wounds appeared on their bodies. Blood continued to pour out.
As for the space shield and the Array of Heaven and Earth, they crumbled as well. They appeared so fragile and so vulnerable.
What could they do? For one, the turbulence in space was far too powerful. For two, Ling Xian and the beast were both heavily injured. Their techniques were greatly reduced.
"I have to give it my all …"
Ling Xian sighed deeply and began to burn the ancient majestic blood inside him.
Unless he had no other choice, he didn't want to burn his majestic ancient blood. Because every time he burns it, he will fall into a long period of weakness.
In other words, this was a method of overexerting himself. Once he uses it, there will be no way out.
But right now, he was at the end of his rope. If he doesn't use this method, he won't even be able to keep his life.
Therefore, Ling Xian burned his majestic ancient blood and recovered some of his capabilities.
Then, he called out to the Primitive Technique. The Flower of Dao materialized and wrapped around himself and the beast.
Reality was, if Ling Xian only protected himself, he had an 80% chance of surviving. If he included the beast, then he only had a 50% chance of surviving.
If this was anyone else, they would've abandoned the beast. But he wouldn't. The Void Beast didn't hold grudges against him and put a protective barrier around him. How could he only care about himself now?
He would be worse than a dog or a pig.
"If we are going to die, then let's die together."
Mumbling, Ling Xian's gaze was determined. He used the Flower of Dao to defend against the turbulence.
HOMM, HOMM, HOMM!
After a series of loud rumbles, Ling Xian and the beast puked out blood. Their skeletons were about to fall apart. However, the Flower of Dao never broke. This meant there was hope.
Therefore, he was determined. Even if he dies, he will endure until the last moment!
As time went on, Ling Xian's condition worsened. With every breath, he became weaker and his consciousness blurred.
In the end, he fainted. He was relying solely on his belief to support the Flower of Dao and defend against the turbulence.
This made the beast lose its composure. But there was nothing it could do.
It was extremely weak. If Ling Xian didn't block most of the power, it would've died a long time ago.
Now that Ling Xian had fainted, it naturally felt hopeless.
Just then, the turbulence suddenly disappeared. The beast and Ling Xian landed on a patch of grass, making it puke out blood.
However, it was obviously overjoyed.
