Lin Yun hurriedly circulated his internal energy, attempting to expel the toxin.
However, he discovered that using his internal energy only accelerated the toxin’s spread!
Not only did it fail to clear the toxin, but it also fueled its spread, like pouring oil on a fire.
Lin Yun couldn’t even use his internal energy to resist the toxin’s spread!
He could only rely on his physical body to endure.
The next moment, Lin Yun plummeted, crashing onto the plain below with a boom.
This poison was too potent!
As the toxin spread, Lin Yun felt it invading every cell, wreaking destruction. His late-stage Myriad Form Body struggled to resist, barely slowing the toxin’s erosion.
Under the toxin’s onslaught, an unprecedented agony erupted throughout Lin Yun’s body!
The toxin not only ravaged his dantian but also invaded his consciousness sea, eroding his soul.
“Aaaah!”
Lin Yun couldn’t hold back, screaming in agony, his face contorted.
He had always prided himself on his ability to endure pain, but in this moment, he realized his resilience was insignificant against this toxin…
This pain was millions of times worse than anything he had ever endured!
This poison was millions of times more potent than he had imagined!
“Hold on! If Master arrives, there might be a chance to save me!” Lin Yun roared inwardly, urging himself to persevere.
“Disciple!”
A booming voice rang out, and a figure instantly appeared before Lin Yun!
It was Emperor Fire Cloud!
“Disciple, how are you?”
Upon arriving, Emperor Fire Cloud immediately lifted Lin Yun.
Seeing Lin Yun still alive, he initially thought it was good news, but upon noticing Lin Yun’s pained expression, blackened lips, and ashen face, he quickly realized something was wrong.
“Master…”
Seeing Emperor Fire Cloud, Lin Yun managed a pale smile.
Emperor Fire Cloud grabbed Lin Yun’s arm, probing his condition.
“Damn it, it’s the demon clan’s soul-severing poison! They used such a poison to deal with you!” Fury surged across Emperor Fire Cloud’s face.
He knew that once the soul-severing poison entered the body, even he was powerless!
He quickly produced a radiant golden pill and fed it to Lin Yun.
After swallowing the pill, Lin Yun noticed the toxin’s spread slowed considerably.
But it only slowed the toxin’s advance—it couldn’t clear even a trace of it!
Under the toxin’s erosion, Lin Yun’s pain didn’t lessen at all.
The agony permeated every cell, even piercing his soul!
It was a torment worse than death itself!
Lin Yun gritted his teeth to endure, but soon his lips were bitten through, his forehead drenched in sweat, beads rolling down.
In that moment, Lin Yun realized even his master, Emperor Fire Cloud, was powerless against this poison!
Was he going to die like this?
“Master… if… if I die, please… take care of my… family…” Lin Yun struggled to speak, forcing out the words.
“Disciple, you won’t die!” Emperor Fire Cloud seemed to go mad with desperation.
He couldn’t even inject internal energy into Lin Yun to detoxify him, knowing the soul-severing poison’s nature—contact with internal energy would only hasten its spread!
Beyond giving Lin Yun the pill to suppress the toxin and slow its spread, he could do nothing else.
“Master… your disciple… can’t…” Lin Yun’s body convulsed, his bloodied lips trembling, unable to form more words.
The toxin continued ravaging his body, eroding his soul and consciousness.
The unbearable pain tormented Lin Yun, as if trying to break his final mental defenses, urging him to give up resistance.
Under such torment, anyone would want release, not to fight on.
Lin Yun’s consciousness began to blur…
“Disciple, don’t speak! Hold on! Stay conscious, don’t fall asleep! Resist with your will—don’t let the toxin erode your resolve! If you give up, there’s no chance!” Emperor Fire Cloud gripped Lin Yun’s hand tightly.
Unable to use internal energy, Lin Yun could only rely on his will and physical body to endure!
As his consciousness faded, images of his daughter Lin Ke Xin flashed in his mind.
“Daddy, come back soon.”
“Daddy, Ke Xin is waiting for you at home.”
“Daddy, Ke Xin won’t dare again. I’ll listen to you…”
Lin Ke Xin’s voice seemed to call out to him.
Yu Ying, holding Lin Ke Xin’s hand, smiled and called, “Brother Yun, Ying’er is waiting for you.”
Images of the Palace Master, Qin Shi, Su Yan, Zhao Ling, and Jiang Jingwen flashed in his mind.
His mother, grandfather…
And Wang Xue, her final moments before death, surfaced in his memory.
So many images flooded Lin Yun’s mind.
His daughter was waiting for him at home.
His family, loved ones, friends.
And his deceased mother, Wang Xue, the Holy Temple Master…
Lin Yun had sworn to resurrect them!
Lin Yun, you must hold on!
You must stay conscious!
He roared inwardly, urging himself to persist!
Lin Yun wasn’t afraid of death, but he wasn’t willing to die like this, with so many attachments and unfinished tasks!
He fought to endure.
Daddy, Daddy…
His daughter’s voice echoed in his mind, fueling his refusal to die.
The toxin began eroding his consciousness.
His head felt like it would explode, his soul trembling in agony!
Under such intense torment, his consciousness should have collapsed, unable to muster resistance.
“You won’t kill me! I won’t give up!”
In excruciating pain, Lin Yun’s will struggled, fighting the toxin’s invasion of his mind.
Emperor Fire Cloud quickly used the Heavenly God Palace’s communication bracelet to send a message to the palace.
