"Are you hiding something from me?" The Illusory Demon Tower returned to his sea of consciousness after taking away the Grand Black Lodestone.
Ye Tianze felt that something was amiss. At the very least, he did not know that the Illusory Demon Tower could be used in such a manner. Most importantly, he was able to activate the Illusory Demon Tower in his previous life.
"Why would I lie to myself?" Tai Yi said. "You will have to deal with the rest yourself. This time is an exception. If you do this again, I might not help you."
Ye Tianze was speechless. He quickly observed his sea of consciousness and realized that the Wind, Fire, Thunder, and Wood inner cores had all been severely damaged. It would take some time for them to recover.
Cracks had also appeared on the Nine Dragon Cauldron. The dragon pattern that represented the Spirit Blood had dimmed to the point that only a trace was left. If one did not look carefully, it would be difficult to notice that it was the Spirit Blood's dragon pattern.
What was even more unbelievable was that his sea of energy had already cracked under the weight of gravity. These cracks were pitch-black and seemed to be spreading.
"If this goes on, I'm afraid my sea of energy will be crippled." Ye Tianze began to worry.
If the pitch-black was crippled, he would be stuck at this realm for the rest of his life. Not to mention returning to the peak, finding Xuan and taking back everything he had would be a problem.
With his sea of energy in such a state, there was no need to talk about his physical body. If not for the continuous recovery of the Wood Spiritual Energy and the heaven-defying Cloudy Heaven Art, he would have been reduced to a pile of meat paste.
Even if he was not dead, his body was now distorted. His face could not be seen clearly. His legs and hands were simply a ball.
He struggled for a long time, but he felt intense pain all over his body. His bones and flesh had already fused together. His organs remained intact, but the insides were already shattered.
The most terrifying thing was that his meridians were all broken. If not for the tenacity of the Cloudy Heaven Combat Body, he would not have survived.
"How are you?" An anxious voice was heard. Zhu Que came to his side. Seeing him twisted into a ball, her expression turned ugly.
However, she knew that Ye Tianze was not dead. If Ye Tianze died, she would die with him.
"It's … alright!" After struggling for a while, his twisted body gradually returned to its human form.
In his previous life, he had suffered more serious injuries and survived. Naturally, he knew about his current condition. However, even though he had regained his human form, his skin was bruised to the point that it was tinged with purple. It looked very frightening.
Zhu Que hurriedly used her wood spiritual energy to heal him. Although it alleviated his pain, it didn't have much effect.
"Rumble!"
Space suddenly began to tremble. Zhu Que raised her head to take a look. She discovered that a crack had appeared in the space around her. It was obvious that the Spirit Race's almighty had opened it up, using the Taixuan Lodestone as the array base.
"Let's go! Without the Supreme Profound Lodestone, the entire formation will be destroyed. We only have less than half an incense stick's worth of time to leave this place. Moreover …" Ye Tianze was somewhat worried.
Zhu Que grabbed him and carried him on her back. With a leap, she sped towards the door. "Don't talk. Leave the rest to me!"
At this moment, she couldn't care less about the difference between men and women. After passing through the door, there was a loud rumble.
The entire mountain was shaking. Zhu Que shuttled through the passageway. Following Ye Tianze's guidance, she sped towards the outside of the mountain.
However, suddenly, a silver light flashed and attacked Zhu Que. If Zhu Que's cultivation hadn't recovered quickly, she probably wouldn't have been able to dodge in time.
That spiritual energy had more than doubled the speed of her growth. Now that she had recovered to the peak of the Immortal Realm, it was only a matter of time before she reached the Immortal Realm.
She wasn't like Ye Tianze. Although he had been reborn, he had retained his realm. He only needed enough spiritual energy to support his physical body.
"Rumble!"
The silver light hit the wall of the passageway and immediately created a large hole. Zhu Que turned her head to look. She saw a Spirit Race member covered in a deathly aura glaring at her with bloodshot eyes. His eyes were filled with madness.
"Damn it!" She finally knew where Ye Tianze's unfinished warning came from. "I'm afraid that all the corpses on this mountain have awakened. That means … the ones in the hall …"
"That's right. But they won't choose to attack us directly. They will attack everyone indiscriminately. They are no longer the ancestors of the Spirit Race," Ye Tianze reminded her.
Zhu Que quickly understood what he meant. She didn't want to continue fighting and quickly rushed forward. Even though Ye Tianze's guidance was fast, the disappearance of the array changed the passageways of the mountain. Some of them were directly blocked.
The most frightening thing was that escape techniques couldn't be used on the Sacred Mountain. So the possibility of escaping through the earth was next to nothing.
"If we were really buried here, it would be really depressing," Zhu Que said.
"Hahaha, if I could accompany a beauty, I wouldn't feel depressing at all," Ye Tianze said with a smile.
"You're still in the mood to joke at a time like this," Zhu Que said.
The two of them encountered many bronze and silver corpses along the way. They even sensed an aura even more frightening than the silver corpses. They were definitely golden corpses.
But they knew that the most powerful corpses were the Spirit Race ancestors. If the statues in the hall woke up and entangled them, they probably wouldn't even have a chance to escape.
Finally, after passing through many obstacles, they saw light. Zhu Que sprinted forward and jumped out of the oppressive passageway.
The feeling of seeing light made Zhu Que feel a lot more relaxed. But the danger that followed made her frown again.
The guards carrying the coffins discovered the two of them almost immediately. The Sacred Mountain was shaking so violently that they naturally knew what had happened.
"Catch them!" The leader of the guards glared at him angrily.
Immediately, the four coffin bearers gave up their fight with the silver corpse and rushed towards the Vermillion Bird.
Zhu Que had no intention of fighting. A pair of fiery red wings spread out behind her and she immediately flew into the distance, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"How is this possible? She's actually at the peak of the immortal realm!" The leader of the guards was shocked.
However, not long after, they also spread out their wings and followed closely behind.
It was also at this moment that something strange happened. The Sacred Mountain suddenly let out a "boom" as if the middle of it had loosened. The entire mountain began to collapse, kicking up a huge cloud of dust. The collapsed soil spread out in all directions like a flood.
The guards carrying the coffins in the air were dumbfounded. Caught off guard, they were sent flying by the terrifying force of the collapse.
When everything was over, they glanced at each other, their eyes filled with terror. The town within a radius of a few hundred kilometers had been submerged. The Spirit Race clansmen who hadn't been able to escape in time had all been buried under this calamity.
The Spirit Race people who had escaped looked at the mess in front of them in a daze.
But when the dust settled, they saw many copper-colored, silver-colored, and golden-colored Astrals in front of them.
These Spirit Race people clearly had the characteristics of a high-class Spirit Race, but their eyes were scarlet.
"We're finished!" The leader of the guards broke out in cold sweat.
