Chapter 73 The Fall of the Abyss

Dark clouds loom over the city, threatening to crush it; armor gleams in the sun, like golden scales unfolding!

Amidst the vast black demonic mist, Li Lan charged forward relentlessly, heading directly towards the Bright Venerable Demon Soul.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, he arrived before the Storm Throne in the blink of an eye.

The being on the Storm Emperor's Throne finally rose. With a wave of his hand, a vast amount of demonic energy surged down, like the sun being obscured by dark clouds. Li Lan's figure vanished in an instant!

Boom!

The billowing demonic mist obscured everything around the Storm Throne.

Everyone in Kyoto was utterly shocked!

"He...did indeed break the formation, but the price was his own life..."

A complex expression flashed across Gu Songling's old face!

"Such spirit, such vision, such courage... truly worthy of being Li Qinghong's descendant, what a pity."

Feng Moping's face was full of regret. Such a peerless genius, the day he made his name was the day he would swan song for the rest of his life? It was like a fleeting moment, like a shooting star falling!

Li Daoling fell completely silent. He was filled with mixed feelings and regret. Although he had survived, what kind of punishment would he face after returning to the Immortal Realm?

Such a peerless genius... He missed out on him, and his indifference led to his death!

“Li Lan…”

Jian Yingzhou's expression was complicated. He sighed softly. Before this, he had never thought highly of Li Lan!

Even though Li Lan assisted Li Yue in ascending to the throne, in the eyes of these geniuses, Li Lan was nothing more than a civil official among mortals, who at most left a brief reputation in mortal history books. How could he be compared to them, cultivators who pursued the path of immortality?

Now they realize how ridiculous they are, and how far they are from Li Lan!

The thought that they had once blocked Li Lan on the street, attempting to kill him... filled them with complex emotions.

If Li Lan had even entertained a thought or made a move back then... these so-called geniuses of our time would probably all be dead!

They've survived to this day and still have a reputation... it's just that Li Lan looks down on them, these frogs in a well.

“He’s different from us…”

Jian Yinyue said bitterly, "He bears the name of a useless son-in-law but keeps quiet and works for the common people. We have the reputation of being outstanding geniuses but are unjust and only seek our own path."

"He should have been the sun illuminating the sky; compared to him, we are but fireflies in the night..."

The others did not object, because they shared the same sentiment.

The phrase "to look up to a high mountain" and "to prostrate oneself in reverence" perfectly describes this moment.

Knowing Li Lan now is like seeing a towering mountain; one can only admire him from the bottom of one's heart!

"A ruthless approach, a compassionate heart, dying for the common people... In the future, I will build a golden statue of Li Lan and worship it day and night."

Kujue looked solemn and made a great vow!

Everyone knows that if Kujue says so, he will definitely do so!

"Li Lan!!!"

"teacher!"

Everyone watched from afar with admiration, but two women, without prior arrangement, rushed out of the city!

Li Yue, Lin Ruobing!

They had no time to marvel at Li Lan's cultivation and achievements; they were driven by a single impulse and a single thought: to save Li Lan, and if they couldn't save him... then they would die with him!

"No!"

Seeing the situation, Feng Moping reacted swiftly. With the array's power completely gone, she had recovered some of her cultivation. In a flash, she landed in front of Li Yue, grabbed him, and said:

"What's done is done, there's no turning back!"

Tears welled in Li Yue's eyes: "Senior Feng, please save him! The one who should die is me, not him. My teacher died for me..."

Feng Moping sighed:

"He sacrificed his life to save you and allow you to live. Don't make a mistake for yourselves. From now on, strengthen yourselves and one day avenge him. That is the best course of action!"

But these words had no effect. She realized that Li Yue's aura was chaotic and feared that her power was reversed and she would injure herself. Suddenly, she shouted:

"Only by guarding your heart can you see the bright moon! As Li Lan's student and the last true dragon of the Abyss Realm, how can you act like a mortal woman, crying and begging for your life? You bear his last will and the faith of all the people of Dali!"

This is a technique from their Sword Sect called "A Blow to the Head," which can help people understand their true nature and eliminate inner demons. Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, Li Yue was stunned, as if she had heard a great bell. Although tears were still flowing in her beautiful eyes, she bit her lower lip tightly and forced a resolute expression!

"teacher……"

She muttered to herself, her fists clenching unconsciously.

On the other side, Lin Ruobing rushed over, about to leap off the high city wall, but at the last moment before she jumped, she was grabbed by Lin Ruoxue.

"He has been chosen by the demon soul, it's too late."

A complex expression also appeared on Lin Ruoxue's face.

"Let me go!"

Lin Ruobing turned around, her eyes filled with tears. Looking at her sister, she felt a surge of intense hatred and resentment for the first time: "It's fine if you don't like him, but what right do you have to ruin him!"

"Do you know that he was the best person in the world to me and to Father? He even helped you! Even on his deathbed, he was thinking of us and trying to find a way to survive for the people of Yuan Realm... You are so selfish!!"

"I don't want you anymore, I'm going to find him!"

Lin Ruobing was on the verge of a breakdown. Her trust and affection for her sister were completely shattered by Li Lan's death at this moment!

She struggled frantically, and Lin Ruobing's eyes also showed pain. Suddenly, she gritted her teeth and struck out with her palm, landing on the back of Lin Ruobing's neck. Instantly, Lin Ruobing fainted in her arms.

"I don't want him to die either..."

A hint of regret seemed to appear on Lin Ruoxue's face, but she quickly hardened her heart: "But... this is a necessary sacrifice."

She turned her head, glanced at everyone in the room, her eyes cold, and said, "You all deserved to die, you were all supposed to die..."

"But now, I'm giving you a chance. Get out of here in the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn!"

The great formation has dissipated, the sacrifice has been completed, and the demon army has begun its attack, with black mist descending.

At this moment, even though the immortals had recovered some of their magical power, they would only face certain death against the demon army. Their only chance of survival was to open a passage to the immortal realm in time and return to the immortal realm.

But if she tries to stop them... Gu Songling and the others will probably still have to pay a very heavy price.

She should have stopped it.

However, the golden figure rushing into the black mist in her heart at this moment was truly too shocking, and a trace of... reluctance arose in her heart for no reason.

He sacrificed himself to save everyone in the battle and the common people in the city. The sacrifice was complete, the outcome was decided, so let these people escape...

Is this some kind of compensation or consolation for him?

Although this compensation is so ridiculous and this consolation so weak!

"Come on!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Songling hurriedly stood up and said, "Retreat, open up the path to immortality, and return to the immortal realm!"

He directly unleashed a magical artifact, a flash of dark light that enveloped everyone in the formation, including Kujue, the Sun and Moon Twin Swords, Shi Zhong, and Shi Hao.

The dark light enveloped everyone as they retreated rapidly, sweeping across the sky above the city. Shen Xingyue suddenly said, "Everyone, don't hold back! Do your best to carry the civilians in the city to the Immortal Realm!"

"Don't let us down!"

Mr. Li!

She held a prestigious position in the Immortal Realm. Not to mention a mere Qi Refining cultivator, even Foundation Establishment or True Core cultivators would have to bow and pay their respects before her. Yet, at this moment, she addressed Li Lan as "Lord Li"!

I have the utmost respect for you.

As soon as she said this, the others nodded in agreement. Immediately, magical artifacts fell from the bodies of everyone, covering anywhere from three streets and five alleys to entire clusters of houses. Many of the men, women, and children were taken away by them.

"Open the gates to immortality!"

In the blink of an eye, the group had already flown to the Seeking the Dao Mountain. Elder Gu roared and circulated his magic power, sending out many white spirit stones. The spiritual energy surged wildly towards the stone tablet on the altar.

Yellow light surged and yellow smoke filled the stone tablet, and the eye of the storm that pierced between the two realms appeared. They rushed into it!

The void shifted, and the group stood amidst the yellow light. Looking ahead, the entire capital of Dali was now completely shrouded in black demonic energy, devoid of any light!

Only a few cold, towering palaces could be vaguely seen, lonely as snow, as if bidding farewell to everyone from afar.

"Li Lan... has finally perished in this world."

"Farewell, Mr. Li."

Everyone was filled with inexplicable emotions!

"The Abyss Realm has already fallen. Before long, these strange things will also enter the Immortal Realm..."

Gu Songling's old face was full of worry. He sighed and said, "Returning to the Immortal Realm to report this news... perhaps, a great chaos that will sweep across the entire Immortal Realm is about to begin!"

Everyone else also looked extremely solemn!

They all understood that their current escape was only temporary; once the Demon Realm emerged, the Immortal Realm would be thrown into chaos!

No one can remain unaffected!
