At the sight of Xun Mu no longer attacking, the evil, chaotic, and depraved aura around Pei Ling immediately receded completely, and his flawless aura quietly emerged.
Next, he took out a handful of pills and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures brimming with spiritual energy, and promptly stuffed them into his mouth.
The instant their immense medicinal power dissolved, a fierce flame seemed to blaze in his lower abdomen, transforming into a warm current that spread through his limbs and bones. The Immortal Power within him began to recover rapidly.
Pei Ling suddenly spoke in a calm voice. "Senior, you won't last much longer!"
His words had barely fallen when Tribulation Lightning came crashing down from the firmament. Though its speed had slowed countless times over, so much time had passed that the lightning was already about to strike Xun Mu's crown.
Countless tiny blades converged into a mighty torrent and returned to the Blood Moon.
High in the sky, the Blood Moon had also grown rounder. It seemed that only the final step remained before the full moon would take shape completely!
The enormous pupil stretching across the firmament opened a little wider...
Time had slowed further, but it had not stopped!
[Ten Thousand Feet of Red Dust, Fear Me as Heaven], [Gazing at the Moon in a Cage, Line Between Immortal and Mortal], and [All Living Beings, Ferry of the Sea of Suffering]—those three Immortal Arts were on the verge of completion!
As if it had known this day would come from the beginning, Xun Mu's voice boomed like thunder. "I am Xun Mu, and I share the lifespan of Heaven and Earth. Though the cosmos has undergone great change, I have stood tall to this day."
"My destiny may be spent, but my will to fight remains."
