Chapter 2059 - 2056: A Blessing in Disguise

Xu Wendong clenched his teeth and endured the shockwave.

He was too close and was affected as well.

Blood mist erupted from his body, a wound caused by the Gold Chaos.

"Junior Brother!" Li Jiayin didn’t hesitate and rushed up, the other women also hurried forward, Xu Wendong was too close to the explosion’s range.

At this moment, as the explosion dissipated.

In the large pit, Duan Yuan’s body was utterly shattered, his limbs blown apart, looking miserable, at this moment he was completely dead, his body covered in wounds.

Xu Wendong let out a sigh of relief at this sight.

He immediately used a wisp of soul power to store the Three-Life Stone Fragment into his storage bag.

This was something he had to obtain, and he couldn’t give it up.

"Just like that... killed?"

"That was... a powerhouse of the Ghost Control Realm!"

"Three Fourth Grade Nether Talismans, how could it not kill?"

Disciples of the Divine Yin Hall and Heavenly Nether Sect were all stunned, their eyes filled with shock and fear as they looked at Xu Wendong.

This time in the Nether Ruins, all disciples from the major powers of the Da Yin Dynasty, those strong in the Tongyou Realm Eighth Layer, died at Xu Wendong’s hands, and the biggest dark horse of the Heavenly Nether Domain, Duan Yuan, was also blown to death by Xu Wendong using Nether talismans.

Such a person was already enough to become a legend in the Heavenly Nether Domain.

Now Xu Wendong was unconscious due to the explosion’s aftermath.

The impact just now wasn’t something he, a Seventh Level Tongyou Realm, could withstand, even though he released the Nether talisman, its power was enough to knock him out.

"Junior Brother, are you okay!" Li Jiayin held Xu Wendong, her face full of fear.

Zhao Ying’er and Zhu Xuan also rushed over, desperately hoping Xu Wendong wouldn’t die.

Fortunately, Li Jiayin pressed her hand on Xu Wendong’s chest at this time, feeling a strong and powerful heartbeat, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Senior Sister, how is Lin Mo?" Zhao Ying’er asked worriedly, her eyes full of concern.

Zhu Xuan was already in tears, if Xu Wendong died, she would lose a man who could conquer her.

"It’s nothing, he’s just passed out."

Li Jiayin sighed in relief: "But this battle cost him too much strength, and he is injured, it will probably take some time to recover."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ying’er and Zhu Xuan nodded repeatedly.

Fortunately, he’s okay, otherwise, they would all be heartbroken.

"This journey to the Nether Ruins ends here." Li Jiayin said slowly, she looked at Loli not far away.

Now only their two factions were left here.

The disciples from the major powers of the Da Yin Dynasty, who survived were either dead, wounded, or had escaped, with no chance to continue competing.

And the disciples of the Fire Lotus Saint Sect, since Xu Wendong killed Qi Huan, have been severely weakened.

They were already no longer opponents.

"Fine, let’s end here."

Loli had no objections, this journey to the Nether Ruins was indeed tragic, so many people entered, but in the end, only the disciples of the two major sects could leave.

The others had almost all suffered heavy losses.

The Nether Ruins opened for a total of thirty days, now there were still eight days left to leave, hence the disciples of Divine Yin Hall and Heavenly Nether Sect could continue to search here, there might be special opportunities remaining.

...

Xu Wendong passed out, although his eyes couldn’t open, he could clearly sense the external situation.

At this moment, the voice of the Painting Saint echoed in Xu Wendong’s mind.

"Kid, you’re really a resilient Little Strong."

The Painting Saint laughed heartily and said, "To fight to the death against a Ghost Control Realm from the Seventh Level of Tongyou Realm, throughout history, you can be considered among the Heavenly Pride ranks."

Receiving praise from the Painting Saint was enough to prove Xu Wendong’s strength.

Although he used the Fourth Grade Nether Talisman, Gold Chaos, the talisman was painted by himself, so how could it not reflect his strength?

It’s known that this battle, if replaced by another, wouldn’t have ended like this.

Xu Wendong used the Thunder Roaring Hundred Feet Talisman to distract Duan Yuan, and used three Gold Chaos as a killing move, which was already very commendable.

"Senior, what’s going on with me now?"

Xu Wendong asked in confusion, he seemed to have entered a dark space, with no light in sight, only darkness all around.

"You’ve passed out."

The Painting Saint explained: "But you could say you’ve found fortune in misfortune."

"Oh? How so?" Xu Wendong looked surprised.

He only remembered fighting Duan Yuan to the death, eventually obtaining the Three-Life Stone Fragment, and then Li Jiayin and the others, presumably taking him away from this Secret Realm, back to the Nether Ruins.

"You survived great danger, awfully weak, and the purest power in the Three-Life Stone has now been infused into your body."

"If my predictions are correct, when you awaken, your cultivation will be at the Ninth Level of Tongyou Realm, the purest power of the Three-Life Stone does not contain resentment, so you’re perfectly fine."

Even the Painting Saint was a bit envious.

His sour tone made Xu Wendong unable to hold back his laughter.

"How could the Three-Life Stone give me the purest power?" Xu Wendong asked curiously.

"The Three-Life Stone, is the greatest Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasure in the Netherworld."

The Painting Saint spoke with a tone seemingly filled with nostalgia, "Holding this item can bring the dead back to life, even the deceased can be directly restored using its power; thus, everyone in the Netherworld wants to obtain it."

"Back then, I and the Netherworld Emperor fought over the Three-Life Stone in a great battle."

"I was unfortunately ambushed by the Netherworld Emperor, resulting in severe injuries, but because I grasped the Three-Life Stone, the power it provided allowed me to preserve this remnant soul, gaining the ability to be reborn."

Through the Painting Saint’s explanation, Xu Wendong understood the purpose of the Three-Life Stone.

"Just a single fragment of the Three-Life Stone has such use." Xu Wendong took a deep breath, his heart inevitably shocked, if all fragments were gathered and fused into completion, the Three-Life Stone’s unleashed power would likely be even more terrifying.

"Kid, you better think about how to handle the chase from the Da Yin Dynasty now."

The Painting Saint teased, right now Xu Wendong was safe, not needing to worry about his safety.

But once out of the Nether Ruins, things would change.

"Why does Da Yin Dynasty want to chase me?" Xu Wendong asked in confusion, "Is it because of the Three-Life Stone Fragment?"

"Didn’t you let go the disciples of Wind Thunder Pavilion before? If the imperial family wants to investigate anything, isn’t that easy? Plus, there are many eyes here, can you ensure no one would leak your possession of the Three-Life Stone Fragment?"

"Da Yin Dynasty is no weakling, anyone with the Three-Life Stone Fragment would want to hunt you down."

The Painting Saint analyzed indifferently.

Xu Wendong instantly had a bad feeling.

Although he obtained the Three-Life Stone Fragment, he might also be targeted because of it!
