A mountain range stretched without end, and above it, a pale violet barrier sealed off everything within.
A figure in azure sat cross-legged amid the mountains. A massive bloody hole in his chest looked utterly terrifying. Clumps of golden light flickered within the wound, phoenix cries ringing out as the vague shape of a divine phoenix poised to soar formed behind him.
"No... it still failed." Ye Xiwen sighed softly.
Hunyuan Emperor Lord's spear strike had gravely wounded him. Even now, he had no way to fully recover. Even his Overlord Body Golden Body could not withstand the corrosion laws contained within that strike. This showed that Hunyuan Emperor Lord's understanding of this path far exceeded Ye Xiwen's imagination.
An ordinary person would have died long ago, but Ye Xiwen could barely hold on. His vast reserves of power had to be used to suppress the injury in his chest.
Hunyuan Emperor Lord's strike had been too powerful. Thinking back on it now, Ye Xiwen feared that he still had no way to resist it. If they met again someday, how would he withstand it?
The gap between his cultivation and Hunyuan Emperor Lord's was far too great. He had to find a way to improve himself, or he would be no match at all.
He had spent three full days and nights here healing his wounds, but in the end, he had given up. He had practically crashed into this world enclosed by the barrier, and the barrier itself had been absurdly hard. Already severely injured, Ye Xiwen's wounds had only grown worse.
"Senior Sister, did you hear? A few days ago, it seemed that some strange stone from beyond the heavens struck the barrier and even smashed a huge hole in it!" A voice drifted over from afar.
