When Hope Was Within Reach, Disappointment Struck Hardest

That's strange.

After confirming it again, Du Sheng's brows furrowed into a deep frown.

He still believed in his memory.

The figure of the Saint Emperor that he was seeing now was one he had seen before.

The ruler of Heavenly Abyss Domain is in a slightly better situation than I am.

But it's only slightly better.

They knew each other.

A hundred years ago, Heavenly Abyss Domain also experienced the Longevity Battlefield.

The ruler of Heavenly Abyss Domain even came to him for drinks to express his frustration about the matter.

This Wu Qingyun was one of the sources of his frustration.

Heavenly Abyss Domain hasn't produced any promising talents for many years.

Wu Qingyun is quite remarkable. He possesses considerable strength and talent, ranking among the top in the entire Heavenly Abyss Domain. The chances of his descendants achieving even greater heights are very high.

However, they encountered the Longevity Battlefield.

He perished in it, yet there was nothing he could do to stop it.

He had seen some related photographic records at the time and made a judgment that it was indeed a pity that Wu Qingyun died in the Longevity Battlefield.

Unexpectedly, I've seen it again in this Five Continents Domain.

"Was Li Cang deliberately pretending to be in my shoes?"

Du Sheng couldn't help but have some doubts.

Li Cang is the ruler of Heavenly Abyss Domain.

After all, it's very difficult to bring someone back to life, especially if their soul has dissipated; it's almost impossible.

"No, that's unlikely."

Du Sheng shook his head.

He was aware of the Longevity Battlefield.

Entering it can easily influence a person's mind, making them warlike. Coupled with the unique and oppressive environment, the probability of death is quite high.

Furthermore, the original purpose of the Longevity Battlefield was to disrupt the existing balance; the stronger one was, the greater the probability of their demise.

"Could it be that Wu Qingyun's appearance is related to him?"

Du Sheng looked away, trying to find Lu Changzhi on the field.

"If he only saved me from serious injuries, that's fine. But if I really perished, then..."

Upon realizing this, Du Sheng's expression shifted.

In that instant, Du Sheng's mind was at peace.

Those powerful figures who attacked like madmen suddenly became no longer surprising.

Under normal circumstances, a truly strong person would not do that.

But what if these people were already dead?

"If this isn't a forbidden demonic art, then this matter is quite astonishing."

Thinking about the things he had come here to verify, Du Sheng was immediately filled with a storm of emotions.

Du Sheng was deeply troubled.

The situation on the field became even more turbulent.

Not much time had passed since the start of the operation.

But the situation has already begun to spiral out of control.

The Wu Qingyun whom Du Sheng was paying attention to, despite being at the Saint Emperor level, faced two Saint Emperors from the Canglan Domain and not only did not lose ground, but instead showed an increasingly overwhelming force.

Brush!

With another strike, in the blink of an eye, Wu Qingyun thrust out his sword.

The Saint Emperor, who was confronting him, narrowed his eyes and hurriedly tried to respond, but he was still a step too slow.

Boom!

With one force stronger than the other, the powerful warrior from the Canglan Domain was instantly thrown into disarray, his aura disrupted, and he was forced to retreat violently.

"Stop them!"

Seeing that Wu Qingyun was about to give chase, he quickly spoke up.

The other Saint Emperor did not respond, but instead attacked Wu Qingyun from the side.

"What a mad dog!"

The defeated Saint Emperor looked down at his chest.

Slightly to the left of the Tanzhong acupoint, a crack appeared on the thick Saint Emperor Artifact, from which blood gushed out, and a deep sword mark remained on the rib.

If he hadn't reacted quickly and hadn't always been in the habit of holding back some strength to prevent accidents, that sword strike would probably have left a mark on more than just his ribs!

We have to go!

In an instant, he knew what he had to do.

Right now, he still has his friends to help him stall the other party; if he were alone, it would be very difficult to have a chance to leave.

If we don't leave now, when will we?

At that moment, he waved his hand.

In an instant, two objects flew out, blocking it from both sides.

This item was forged by slaying countless Beast Race, taking their hardest parts, and combining them with other hard materials. It is also reinforced with several defensive arrays.

If it weren't for that last move, he would never have used such a life-saving trump card.

But right now, leaving is the most important thing!

"The mighty Saint Emperor is leaving already?!"

In the void, Lu Changzhi's mind stirred.

At that moment, he turned and headed towards the departing Saint Emperor.

Now that Zhong Ming is Saint King, the benefits that a Saint Emperor can bring him are certainly far greater than those of several Saint Venerable.

How could we let such valuable resources for spiritual practice slip away?

With a thought, a flash of light appeared, and a long spear instantly appeared in Lu Changzhi's hand.

"Let me test the power of this so-called Dao Artifact spear."

As soon as he finished speaking, a surge of Spear Intent emanated from Lu Changzhi and landed on his spear.

The spear immediately emitted a tremor.

The next moment, an even more surging Spear Intent emerged from the spear, in sync with Lu Changzhi.

"Go."

With power channeled, he unleashed a single shot; a flash of light and shadow left a black line in the void.

"Are they keeping such a close watch?!"

The Saint Emperor of Canglan Domain, who was preparing to leave, suddenly became quite angry.

At that moment, he decisively activated his power, strengthening the defenses around him to the extreme.

The next moment, the spear arrived.

Boom!

The collision of forces instantly unleashed an astonishing shockwave.

The spearhead was embedded in the bone, cracks spreading around it, and the two forces were violently consumed at the point of contact.

But clearly, the spear had a subtle advantage.

"This gun is no ordinary weapon!"

Instantly, the Saint Emperor of Canglan Domain felt a chill in his heart.

However, it didn't sink too much.

This shot, though powerful, could hardly stop him from leaving!

The remaining time was enough for him to leave using spatial means.

"The strength is good, it's just a pity."

Lu Changzhi sensed the changes in the spatial power around the other party.

At that moment, he suddenly understood why, in some accounts, mastering spatial power was considered a sign of great strength.

One reason is that they haven't used spatial power enough.

Another issue is that too many people are using spatial techniques.

In the current situation, even if the other party is Saint Emperor, their first thought would be to use spatial means to leave this place.

Coincidentally, he happens to have some skill in spatial manipulation.

He intentionally controlled the power of the spear and timed it perfectly.

Any faster and it would be too fast, forcing the opponent to be distracted.

Any weaker and it would be too slow, failing to give the opponent that perfect feeling.

When hope is within reach, the impact of despair is unparalleled!

About a third of an hour had passed.

A slight smile played at the corners of Lu Changzhi's lips.

The time has come!

Meanwhile, amidst the defense, a thought flashed through the mind of this Saint Emperor of Canglan Domain.

Let whoever wants to suffer this torment, suffer it; I'm not getting involved!
