Inside the ninth floor, Yang Nianxue said gravely, “Brother, what are your plans next?”
Ye Xuan’s expression was cold. “What plans could I have? Of course, I’ll fight to the death!”
Yang Nianxue hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping herself.
Ye Xuan looked at her. “Sis, you’re thinking we can’t beat that woman, right?”
Yang Nianxue nodded. “That woman’s strength is beyond our imagination. And now, the other two Super Supremes are on her side. Not only that, but the Immortal Treasure Pavilion seems to have aligned with them as well. The situation is extremely unfavorable for us!”
She trying to say something, she paused, then added, “What I mean is, we should avoid their edge for now!”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
He understood Yang Nianxue’s meaning. In their current state, the two siblings were no match for their opponents. Going after them now would be tantamount to suicide!
Yang Nianxue continued, “We could go find Dad!”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “I’ll avenge my own grudges!”
With that, he opened his palm, and the Little Tower appeared in his hand.
Ye Xuan looked at Yang Nianxue. “Sis, you can conceal our auras, right?”
Yang Nianxue nodded. “But not for long!”
Ye Xuan asked, “How long?”
Yang Nianxue said gravely, “What I mean is, I’m worried they might use some secret method to track us!”
Ye Xuan was silent for a moment, then entered the Little Tower.
Time!
What he needed now was time!
Ye Xuan arrived at the peak of a mountain inside the tower, gazing into the distance, his eyes filled with a trace of confusion.
In his battle with Dao Xuan Yi, he had burned his bloodline, his soul, and even Little Soul had willingly let him absorb her. Yet, he still couldn’t defeat her!
It was the most despairing moment of his life!
Little Soul!
Ye Xuan slowly closed his eyes.
At that moment, his heart felt as if it were bleeding!
Simultaneously, the bloodline within him began to stir, threatening to erupt.
Yang Nianxue appeared beside him, looking at Ye Xuan. “Control your bloodline. Right now, you don’t need madness—you need calm. Unless you want to call for help!”
Call for help!
Those words pierced Ye Xuan’s heart like a needle!
At some point, whenever he faced difficulties, Qing’er would always come to his aid. Over time, he grew increasingly reckless, emboldened by her support, indulging in flamboyant displays.
But this time, Qing’er didn’t intervene.
For the first time, he tasted true despair!
Absolute despair!
Even when he gave everything, the outcome remained unchanged!
The world was this cruel. Many times, effort and desperation didn’t guarantee a satisfying result!
Ye Xuan clenched his fists, forcing himself to calm down!
Anger was a sign of incompetence!
Only the powerless indulged in meaningless rage!
After a long while, the blood coursing through Ye Xuan’s body gradually settled.
Yang Nianxue looked at the Ye Xuan before her, her heart aching. She knew Little Soul’s disappearance had struck him deeply!
The Little Tower remained silent as well.
This time, the blow to both it and Ye Xuan was immense. Never before had they been so thoroughly defeated!
That woman was truly formidable!
Even after Little Soul willingly let Ye Xuan absorb her, boosting his strength exponentially, he still couldn’t touch her!
In truth, the tower had more than once wanted Ye Xuan to call for help, as it believed only its master or Destiny could kill that woman!
But it knew Ye Xuan wouldn’t call for help anymore! Because the current Ye Xuan had begun to despise the flamboyant version of himself.
Flamboyant?
It wasn’t inherently wrong!
But you needed the strength to back it up!
Like his dad—sure, Dad was flamboyant, but Dad had the strength!
As a worldly saying went: Many times, even a rich man’s fart smells sweet!
Strength!
Ye Xuan took a deep breath. After some self-reflection, he began to think deeply.
How could he defeat Dao Xuan Yi?
Raw power?
Even with his previous immortal body and the Qingxuan Sword, he couldn’t match her. Now, it was even less likely!
Divine techniques?
His slashes for the past, present, and future had all failed to harm her…
After much thought, Ye Xuan realized he had no chance of winning against her, even if he burned his soul and bloodline!
And his instincts told him that Dao Xuan Yi was still holding back!
Only one path remained!
Call for help!
Continue being a second-generation heir!
At this thought, a self-mocking smile tugged at Ye Xuan’s lips.
What else could he do besides call for help?
At that moment, Yang Nianxue walked to Ye Xuan’s side. She gently brushed some dust off his collar and said softly, “Stop blaming yourself! Your big sister will help you!”
Ye Xuan looked at Yang Nianxue, who smiled faintly. “I can’t beat that woman, but I can help you get stronger!”
With that, she opened her palm, and ten storage rings appeared before Ye Xuan.
Yang Nianxue looked at him. “This is everything I’ve got—my entire fortune. Some were gifts from Dad, some from Little White, some from Mum, and some I… uh, didn’t scam—earned myself. Now, they’re all yours!”
Ye Xuan shook his head slightly. “Sis, trying to cram at the last minute probably won’t—”
Yang Nianxue cut him off. “Brother, do you know where you fall short compared to Dad?”
Ye Xuan was silent.
Yang Nianxue looked directly at him. “Dad never gives up, no matter the circumstances! Do you know how desperate Dad was when he faced Destiny back then? A million times more desperate than you are now! Do you know how bad things were for us? The Heavenly Dao and those divine beasts were instantly killed by Destiny. Aunt Tianxiu fell in battle, Aunt Qibitian fell, two of Destiny’s avatars fell, and even Senior Xiaoyaozi, who had never been defeated, couldn’t draw his sword against Destiny… Dad was utterly dominated! But even so, Dad never gave up. He truly never gave up! He could die, he could cry, but he would never lightly admit defeat. Until his last breath, he would never give up.”
Ye Xuan remained silent.
Yang Nianxue continued, “Facing Dao Xuan Yi, I also feel despair. But shouldn’t we at least try? At the very least, we’re still alive!”
Ye Xuan’s fists clenched tightly. Suddenly, he slapped himself hard across the face.
*Slap!*
The sound of the slap echoed through the entire Little Tower world!
Ye Xuan’s expression was eerily calm. “Sis, you’re right. I’m still alive. Why should I give up? How can I give up?”
With that, he looked at the storage rings before Yang Nianxue and asked, “Which ones can help me?”
Yang Nianxue replied, “All of them!”
Ye Xuan nodded. His divine sense swept over the rings, and soon, the countless divine artifacts within entered his consciousness. He instantly knew which ones were most useful!
Moments later, Ye Xuan opened his palm, and a heart appeared in his hand.
Yang Nianxue said, “This is the Heart of the Life God Tree. I got it from an old man with a bamboo box!”
Ye Xuan nodded. He then took out a white jade bottle containing none other than Little Ya’s blood!
Looking at Little Ya’s blood in his hand, Ye Xuan began to plan. He needed to reach the Eternal Immortal Realm first. Only with an immortal body, soul, and will could he stand a chance against that woman. In that realm, burning his body and soul would make him even stronger!
To kill that woman, he had to go all out!
He was fully prepared to burn both his body and soul!
Ye Xuan took Little Ya’s blood and dripped a single drop into his throat.
Rebuilding an immortal body!
To suppress the immense power in Little Ya’s blood, he also swallowed the Heart of the Life God Tree. With its suppression, he could gradually absorb Little Ya’s blood!
This time, he didn’t stop at one drop—he swallowed all twelve drops in the bottle!
This was Yang Nianxue’s idea!
Because his previous immortal body had been useless against Dao Xuan Yi, his body needed to be even stronger. Otherwise, it would still be shattered with a single blow!
Besides Little Ya’s blood, Ye Xuan also consumed countless heavenly treasures, all collected by Yang Nianxue over time. Each one was truly priceless!
Some, like the Heart of the Life God Tree, she hadn’t even been willing to use herself…
It must be said, watching Ye Xuan consume her heavenly treasures like they were cabbages caused Yang Nianxue a pang of heartache. But knowing it was for her little brother… she let it go!
Her little brother!
In truth, she and Ye Xuan hadn’t spent much time together. The siblings hadn’t grown up together, so talk of deep affection would be an exaggeration. Still, blood was thicker than water!
Moreover, she felt some guilt toward Ye Xuan.
Their father had raised Ye Xuan with a hands-off approach, while she had been lavished with care. From birth to now, she had hardly faced any hardship!
After a long while, Yang Nianxue pulled back her thoughts and looked at Ye Xuan, whose body was gradually transforming. She said softly, “Come on, little brother!”
Time passed bit by bit. Ye Xuan’s body had fully transformed, reaching immortality once again. But it didn’t stop there—he kept pushing his body, aiming to reach its absolute limit!
His personal limit!
Or rather, the limit of an immortal body!
Of course, this was excruciatingly painful. From the start, it was agonizing—Little Ya’s blood was no joke. Even with the Heart of the Life God Tree suppressing it, he felt as if his entire body were submerged in scorching magma!
But to him, this pain was nothing!
At that moment, Ye Xuan’s body began to tear apart.
Seeing this, Yang Nianxue frowned. “What’s happening?”
His body was tearing, but after tearing, it rapidly healed, only to tear again, repeating endlessly.
Yang Nianxue said gravely, “Qualitative transformation!”
Qualitative transformation!
After reaching immortality, Ye Xuan’s body was undergoing another qualitative leap!
What was a body beyond immortality?
Yang Nianxue didn’t know!
Because she didn’t cultivate her physical body!
At that moment, Yang Nianxue’s expression suddenly changed. The next moment, she left the Little Tower and returned to the ninth floor.
At the doorway, the sound of footsteps echoed!
Someone was coming!
