Once that killer move was completed, their tense energy and spirits suddenly collapsed, and the three of them could hold on no longer, falling to the ground one after another.
David knelt on one knee, his Dragon Slayer Sword stuck in the ground to support his staggering body. He gasped for breath, his throat dry and burning, as if it had been plugged with coarse sandpaper.
His face was deathly pale, his lips were bloodless, his dantian was empty and numb, his primordial chaos had been drained by more than half, and his meridians were filled with microscopic cracks that could not be repaired. Every movement would trigger excruciating pain.
Jiang Xuelan slipped down the stone pillar of the main hall and collapsed onto the cold ground. Her ten fingers were trembling uncontrollably, her arms were sore and numb, her Ice God essence was completely depleted, and the cold aura around her was weak and ethereal, unable to even maintain a thin layer of ice on the ground.
His lips were pale, his breathing was weak, and with every breath, small ice crystals condensed in his nostrils. The cold poison backfired on his meridians, and bone-chilling pain spread throughout his body.
Zi’er knelt on both knees, her immortal sword stuck diagonally at her side, her long black hair was soaked with sweat and stuck to her pale cheeks.
His chest rose and fell violently, his breathing heavy and hoarse. He had exhausted his life force nineteen times, and his immortal Dao charm had been reduced by seventy percent. His cultivation foundation was unstable, and the purple light around him flickered like a candle in the wind, ready to extinguish at any moment.
The valley was silent, except for the sound of the three people’s tired breathing carried by the wind.
After a long pause, David managed to suppress the dizziness in his soul, his voice hoarse and weak: “This time it should really be over. The Chaos Flames have burned the physical body and dissolved the divine essence, leaving not even a fragment of bone, leaving the guiding force with nothing to hold on to.”
Before those words had even finished speaking, a dazzling golden light suddenly exploded in the void of the sky!
The light was even more dazzling and magnificent than the previous eighteen awakenings, like a rising sun, floating in the air, illuminating the entire valley.
The scattered ashes, as if drawn by an invisible force, froze in the air, swirled, and gathered again as if time had reversed.
First, collect the bones, recover the flesh and blood, recondense the meridians, reshape the outer shell of the soul, and spread the divine origin.
In the blink of an eye, Jin Wuhao stood unharmed, his robes spotlessly clean, all his wounds gone, his shattered divine emperor authority restored to its original state, and his divine light even more holy and dignified than before.
For the nineteenth time, rise again.
Hysterical laughter resounded through the heavens and the earth, carrying a dimensional pressure that crushed everyone’s minds: “Hahaha! For the nineteenth time! Even the Chaos Divine Flame, which burns the source of existence itself, cannot sever the dimensional increase of the divine realm! What other trump cards do you have? What other deadly moves do you have?”
He raised his hand and pointed at the void, his words extremely sharp: “To put it bluntly! Unless you eliminate my natal soul rooted in the origin of the divine realm, sever the imprint of the divine dimension, and make the saints in the upper realm completely lose the coordinates of my soul, no one in the various realms can kill me in the slightest!”
Soul! Dimensional Imprint!
These four short words struck David’s mind like a thunderbolt, piercing through all the confusion and fog.
He shuddered, his purple eyes suddenly lit up, and then an overwhelming feeling of helplessness came over him.
He finally understood the crux of the matter.
The physical body, laws, and divine artifacts of a Great Luo Golden Immortal were all external things. The birth soul rooted in the divine realm dimension is the fundamental foundation.
All killing methods in the lower realms can only destroy the physical body; it couldn’t reach divine souls sealed across dimensions.
As long as the soul still exists, the divine realm can lock those coordinates and endlessly guide awakening.
However, his cultivation level was only at the second rank of the Golden Immortal Realm. Even if the power of chaos can restrain all laws, he cannot break free from the shackles of this world and cannot touch the origin of the divine soul of a higher dimension.
Zi’er immediately understood all the causes and consequences. He slowly stood up, supporting himself with his immortal sword. The sword trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with loneliness and helplessness: “The divine realm protects us and locks our original soul. Even if our physical body is destroyed a thousand times, our soul will live forever. From the beginning, we have been fighting a deadly game that we cannot win.”
“If we can’t break through the dimensional barrier and reach the sealed soul, we will never win.”
David let his arm hang limply, his fingertips felt cold as ice. An unprecedented sense of helplessness enveloped his entire body, destroying his last shred of fighting spirit.
Jiang Xuelan raised her eyes, her clear and icy blue eyes reflecting the golden light that filled the sky, illuminating the figure of the rampaging Jin Wuhao, as well as the three of them who were covered in wounds and exhaustion.
He grasped the small, dense ice tip in his hand, the coldness was faint and subtle, his fingertips trembling. The road ahead was pitch black, and he could no longer find a direction to walk.
Jin Wuhao, taking advantage of the feedback from his awakening, saw his divine power surge continuously. He raised his hand and swung his sword lightly, sending shards of golden sword light piercing through the air.
