Destiny's Protection, Everything Changed!

Tang San had been reduced to such a state because—

He had lost two-thirds of his body weight in an instant and drained every drop of moisture from his body, all because he had unleashed Guanyin's Tears.

At that critical moment, Tang San had exhausted all his strength and energy, draining every last drop of water from within his body.

And with the help of a mysterious, unknown power, even though he had yet to cultivate Mysterious Jade Hand, Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to their peak, he had unexpectedly managed to condense a single drop—Guanyin's Tears.

Guanyin's Tears, the foremost hidden weapon technique of the Tang Sect, was terrifying beyond measure and could ignore all defenses.

Using Guanyin's Tears against the incoming Grand Void Thunder Origin Sword, he successfully neutralized most of the Grand Void Thunder Origin Sword's power.

That was how they had narrowly escaped with their lives beneath the Grand Void Thunder Origin Sword.

Of course, Guanyin's Tears alone could not have withstood the Grand Void Thunder Origin Sword.

Nor could it have allowed them to survive beneath the Grand Void Thunder Origin Sword.

What had truly saved their lives was that mysterious power, which acted once again at the crucial moment!

As the Grand Void Thunder Origin Sword transformed into destructive lightning and sought to destroy this space, a golden curtain descended from nowhere.

That golden curtain was composed of countless fine golden threads.

It was incredibly strange.

The golden curtain fell before them, separating them from the surrounding space and firmly protecting them.

At the same time, two invisible strands of golden thread split off from the mysterious golden curtain.

They proliferated through the air and, upon touching their skin, directly invaded their bodies.

They locked their vitality at its very last trace.

Put simply, at the final moment, their health had been locked.

Their final point of life had been preserved.

However, Tang Hao could not see those golden threads or that mysterious golden curtain. Only Tang San could see them.

From Tang Hao's perspective, he saw only tens of millions of lightning bolts darting wildly through the air, rushing toward him.

Then, for no apparent reason, they were blocked by something.

It was as though an invisible wall stood before him.

Just as Tang Hao rejoiced, thinking they were about to be saved—

The lightning before him suddenly surged and erupted once more.

It turned violent and swept over them, swallowing both him and Tang San.

The lightning slid across his skin and ignited it. In an instant, his skin seemed to have been set ablaze, erupting into raging fire. Tang Hao burned amid the flames.

The instant his skin caught fire, Tang Hao made a decisive choice.

He allocated all his Soul Power to protect Tang San.

This prevented Tang San from suffering the lightning's harm.

Having lost the Soul Power protecting his own body, Tang Hao had no means of resistance amid the flames.

He could only watch helplessly as the blazing fire clung tightly to his skin, continuously devouring the vitality within him.

Yet strangely, no matter how the flames drained his vitality, a final trace of it always remained.

Tang Hao did not understand what was happening, but when he saw the soul bone Ah Yin had left behind after her sacrifice continuously replenishing his vitality—

He directly credited Ah Yin for it.

Ah Yin had protected him once again.

When Tang Hao collapsed to the ground, he completely lost consciousness. A silver seed fell from his chest.

After rolling across the ground once, the silver seed found a patch of soil suitable for growth and plunged headfirst into it.

After burrowing into the earth, the seed rapidly absorbed the moisture in the area, taking root, sprouting, and growing.

In but a moment, a tender leaf emerged from the ruined soil.

The leaf radiated vast and rich life energy.

This vast and rich life energy nourished Tang Hao and Tang San in return, continuously providing them with vitality and healing their injuries.

While the Blue Silver Emperor replenished their vitality, its tender green leaves visibly began to turn withered and yellow.

In the end, its stem turned entirely yellow, no longer able to provide Tang Hao and Tang San with the life energy they needed to resist the lightning power within their bodies.

The Blue Silver Emperor's body, less than five centimeters long, bent over from excessive depletion.

As its body bent down, its roots frantically spread through the ground, wildly absorbing and devouring the energy, moisture, and nutrients in the soil.

After absorbing this energy, moisture, and nutrients, the Blue Silver Emperor's yellowed body became tender green once more, again radiating vast and abundant life energy.

Having only just recovered some life energy, the Blue Silver Emperor once more selflessly and without reservation sent it all to Tang Hao and Tang San, father and son.

The power of maternal love was great, and so was the power of love.

At this moment, the Blue Silver Emperor was like a tireless tool, endlessly supplying Tang Hao and Tang San with vitality.

In an instant, the Blue Silver Emperor's underground roots expanded directly to ten meters and continued spreading toward fifteen, then twenty meters.

As the Blue Silver Emperor tirelessly provided the father and son with life energy, a trace of vitality finally returned to Tang Hao and Tang San's bodies.

The charred skin all over Tang Hao's body also gradually began to peel away, revealing tender new skin beneath.

However, the area was very small, and it appeared only in scattered patches.

Tang San, wrapped in his swaddling clothes, also regained a trace of consciousness as the immense life energy poured into him.

His shriveled, moistureless body, like a dried twig, gradually began to fill out.

Moisture returned to him, and he slowly became plump again, no longer looking so hideous.

While providing Tang San with life energy, the Blue Silver Emperor also tried to awaken his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline.

As long as Tang San awakened the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, he could use its inexhaustible vitality to gradually restore himself.

That would lessen her burden somewhat.

And with one less Tang San to care for, she could devote herself entirely to treating Tang Hao.

Unfortunately, she ultimately failed.

No matter how hard the Blue Silver Emperor tried to awaken it, the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline within Tang San never responded to her.

Her strength was too weak now, with less than one-tenth of her energy remaining.

To awaken the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline within Tang San, she could only go to the Blue Silver Forest.

Only by borrowing the combined power of the countless Blue Silver Grass plants there would awakening be possible.

The Blue Silver Emperor swayed its body and continued channeling life energy into the two of them.

As vast amounts of abundant life energy poured in, Tang Hao, who had completely lost consciousness and whose internal meridians were a complete mess, gradually regained awareness as well.

He struggled to open his bleary eyes and looked around.

His hand instinctively reached for the swaddling clothes on his back. He felt Tang San's pulse, and once he confirmed that Tang San was still alive, Tang Hao let out a breath of relief.

Only then did his gaze fall upon the Blue Silver Emperor before him.

Upon seeing the Blue Silver Grass, Tang Hao instinctively reached into his chest again, searching for the Blue Silver Emperor seed.

The Blue Silver Emperor seed that should have been in his chest was now gone!

Thinking of his injuries just moments ago, as well as clearly remembering that this place had been completely barren before he lost consciousness—

Tang Hao instantly realized that the sickly, yellow-leaved Blue Silver Grass before him was Ah Yin.

The moment he realized that the Blue Silver Grass before him was Ah Yin—

Ah Yin had once again used her own life to protect him.

In that instant, Tang Hao's eyes filled with tears.

Seeing the Blue Silver Emperor's yellow leaves and slender stem, Tang Hao's heart hurt so badly he could barely breathe.

He was not a man at all. He could not protect his son, nor could he protect his woman.

"Aah!" Tang Hao's eyes turned bloodshot as he threw back his head and roared.

The aura around his body churned chaotically, making him seem like an unmatched demon.

"Ling Feng, that sword of yours nearly cost me the love of my life! I, Tang Hao, swear to heaven that in this lifetime, I will surely return to the peak with overwhelming force.

I will ascend Hidden Sword Peak, flatten your Hidden Sword Peak, and avenge today's hatred!"

"And Qian Xunji of Spirit Hall—the vengeance of my wife's death is irreconcilable!"

After venting his roaring rage, a breeze carrying the scorched scent of lightning blew past, and Tang Hao gradually calmed down.

Once he had completely calmed himself, Tang Hao bent down and used both hands to dig the Blue Silver Emperor out of the soil, carefully placing it in his chest for protection.

Before Ling Feng could catch up, he picked up his son and left the area, heading for the next village.
