Yi Yi relied on the skill it had comprehended when it broke through to the Hundred Thousand Year level and finally withstood the tenth bolt of lightning.
The thunderclouds in the sky began to dissipate, signifying that Yi Yi had successfully survived its Hundred Thousand Year Lightning Tribulation.
After the combined devastation wrought by Yi Yi, the Deep Sea Demon Whale, and the Lightning Tribulation, the aura of Destruction in this area was thick, and the energy was exceptionally violent.
Spatial Rifts could be seen everywhere. Space was like a shattered mirror, with fragments falling off from time to time.
Yi Yi beat its wings and hovered in the air, its aura weak and its condition terrible.
Even after surviving the Lightning Tribulation, it was not happy. It immediately spat out the Time and Space Divine Tower and called for Jing Chen inside.
Jing Chen emerged from the Time and Space Divine Tower, and Yi Yi immediately appeared beneath him, carrying him on its back to keep him from falling while releasing energy to protect him.
The violent energy in this space was not something a soul master of Jing Chen's level could endure.
Jing Chen was not in much better condition than Yi Yi. Though he bore no wounds, he looked as though he had been seriously injured.
The moment he came out, he collapsed onto Yi Yi's back. His body was limp and powerless, his breathing labored.
His hair, once jet-black, had turned white—completely white.
There were no wrinkles on his face, and his skin remained delicate, but his life force gave the impression that he did not have long to live.
"Yiyi!" Yi Yi let out a mournful cry, anxious over Jing Chen's condition.
Jing Chen gently patted Yi Yi's body. After pausing for quite a while, he finally forced out the words, "I'm fine. I still have a few years left to live."
He had a fairly clear sense of his current condition. He still had a few years of life force left.
This Life Sacrifice had reduced his originally vigorous life force to a state where he had only a few years left to live.
He was not panicked by this condition. It was not as if he was about to die immediately.
His life force had merely been depleted, leaving him only a few years. As long as he replenished it during that time, would he not be able to live several more years, or even decades?
It was precisely because he understood this clearly that he was not panicking and could calmly say that he still had a few years to live.
"Yiyi!" Yi Yi kept crying out sorrowfully, worried about Jing Chen's condition.
"I told you, I'm fine. Hurry and devour the rest of that Soul Ring. Don't forget the Spirit Bone either."
Jing Chen patted Yi Yi's body as he spoke, then fell asleep. He was simply too exhausted.
The massive loss of life force left his entire body weak and his mind muddled, as though he had been starving for months.
He truly could not hold on any longer and could not stay awake, so he fell asleep.
Yi Yi suppressed its grief and did as told, carefully flying down to continue devouring the Soul Ring's energy.
After it had devoured all the Soul Ring energy, it pushed aside the seawater and descended to the seabed, where it retrieved the Deep Sea Demon Whale's Spirit Bone.
Besides taking the Spirit Bone, Yi Yi also removed the Whale Rubber from the Deep Sea Demon Whale's brain. This was an excellent item for Jing Chen.
After finishing everything, Yi Yi used Space Shuttle and hurried toward the mainland with Jing Chen.
After absorbing the remaining energy from the Soul Ring, Yi Yi had recovered much of its strength and had enough power to use Space Shuttle.
In the God Realm, Tang San, the Evil God, and the Good God all wore somewhat strange expressions.
"That tower should be a rare spatial treasure capable of holding living creatures. That child was inside it earlier."
"As for why the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was so close to that child, that is rather difficult to explain," Tang San said slowly.
What he had just witnessed had greatly surprised him and struck him as abnormal.
A human child actually had such a close relationship with a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. He had never expected that.
The Evil God and the Good God were also surprised, realizing that the child was far from ordinary.
"There is no need for us to dwell on this. These are mortal affairs and have little to do with us."
The Good God said this because, since she could not figure it out, she could not be bothered to think further about it. In any case, it had nothing to do with her.
"That is true. Mortals have their own fortuitous encounters. We need not concern ourselves with how those opportunities came about," the Evil God said as well.
Tang San smiled but said nothing. He bade farewell and left the Evil God Temple, still thinking about the matter as he traveled.
If the child had been close to other soul beasts, that would have been one thing. But he was intimate with a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was utterly evil. Any human capable of getting along with it harmoniously could not be simple.
However, compared with that child, Tang San was actually more interested in the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Destiny Pearl was an exceptionally rare treasure in the mortal world, something capable of creating a powerful deity.
Zhou Weiqing, for instance, had ultimately become the God Realm's First-Level God, the God of Destruction, because of the Origin Life Pearl of a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger with more than sixty thousand years of cultivation.
He even had the potential to become a God King, which showed just how tremendous the Origin Life Pearl's effects were.
An Origin Life Pearl from a beast with over sixty thousand years of cultivation was already so extraordinary. How much greater would one at the Hundred Thousand Year level be?
"I wonder whether Huo Yuhao, this child of destiny, will have the fortune to obtain this Origin Life Pearl."
Tang San was rather expectant. If Huo Yuhao could obtain this Origin Life Pearl, his future achievements might even rival Tang San's own.
He felt conflicted. Part of him hoped Huo Yuhao would obtain it, while another part hoped he would not.
If Huo Yuhao failed to obtain it, Tang San could take it for his own daughter instead.
"Let us see which of you has the fortune for it." Tang San shook his head, intending to let nature take its course.
By letting nature take its course, he meant whether the Hundred Thousand Year Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Origin Life Pearl would go to Huo Yuhao or Tang Wutong.
Since he had encountered such a supreme treasure, there was no way he would let an outsider benefit from it. It had to be reserved for one of his own.
After twelve consecutive Space Shuttles, Yi Yi brought Jing Chen back to the mainland.
Yi Yi, with more than seventy thousand years of cultivation, could travel up to five hundred kilometers in a single Space Shuttle.
Now that it had broken through to the Hundred Thousand Year level, its travel distance had greatly increased, reaching up to five thousand kilometers.
The earlier bitter battle and Lightning Tribulation, coupled with the consecutive Space Shuttles, had left Yi Yi utterly exhausted.
The moment it landed, it collapsed to the ground and reverted to its miniature form, nestling affectionately beside Jing Chen.
Both Jing Chen and Yi Yi had fallen asleep. Fortunately, they were in an uninhabited wilderness without soul beasts, so they were relatively safe.
After an unknown amount of time, Jing Chen woke before Yi Yi. The moment he woke, his entire body felt weak, and he was extraordinarily frail.
Supporting his heavy body, Jing Chen began to busy himself. He took out a pot, cleaned the soul beast meat he had previously frozen, and began cooking it.
While the meat boiled in the pot, he sat slumped on the ground, holding Yi Yi in his arms and helping it tidy its messy fur.
"They should have been unconscious for several days," Jing Chen judged based on Yi Yi's injuries.
Before falling unconscious, he had checked Yi Yi's wounds. Now, most of its external injuries had healed.
Even with Yi Yi's astonishing recovery ability, it would have taken several days to recover to this extent.
