Suddenly, a voice echoed from within the great formation.
"Lass, if you want to die alongside Chu Feng, this king won't stop you."
"But Chu Feng isn't dead yet — are you trying to die before him?"
"What if Chu Feng comes back to life? Won't you be afraid that he'll be heartbroken?"
Hearing this voice, Egg Egg's expression froze for a moment. She looked around, but couldn't spot the speaker anywhere.
However, Egg Egg recognized the voice — it was the Asura Sword.
"Where is Chu Feng?" Egg Egg asked hurriedly, and at the same time, she stopped releasing that power.
"Take Chu Feng into the Primordial Killing Sea and complete the trial."
"Remember — right now, you may be the only one who can save him."
The Asura Sword's voice rang out once more, and as soon as it faded, a force that belonged to neither Egg Egg nor the Asura Army materialized out of thin air, instantly destroying the contract formation that had been binding Egg Egg and the others.
Seeing this, Egg Egg immediately soared into the sky, and the Asura Army followed close behind, bringing along the still-slumbering Yusha along the way.
...
Meanwhile, in the underground world of the Pingyuan Upper Realm.
Tears still lingered on many faces, yet everyone stared in shock toward Little Fishy's direction.
Because the moment Chu Feng dissipated, an earth-shaking upheaval had erupted within this underground world.
Four majestic auras appeared simultaneously, sweeping through the entire underground world. Though these auras existed only within the underground realm, each one was no weaker than the Asura Sword from before.
One was the Nine-Colored Lightning.
One was the Royal Bloodline.
One was the Origin of the Vein.
As for the fourth force, it was equally immense, but not a single member of the Xianhai Fish Clan recognized its origin.
That aura, however, felt like true divine power.
Standing nearby, the Asura Sword silently marveled to itself: "This little thing sure has quite a few treasures on her."
Before long, the four powers enveloping the world simultaneously withdrew, and Chu Feng — who had already dissipated — began to reconstitute. He was no longer in his lightning form, but his physical body had been restored.
Though he remained unconscious, at least he was still breathing.
Immediately after, all four forces surged into Chu Feng's body.
Yet Little Fishy and the others were still consumed with worry.
Though the four powers had prevented Chu Feng from dying, they could all sense that he had only a single breath left — and that breath could vanish at any moment.
But then, a spatial gate suddenly appeared over Chu Feng's chest.
While everyone looked on in confusion, the Asura Sword flew forward on its own.
"Take Chu Feng to the Primordial Killing Sea, but don't act rashly. Wait at the entrance — Chu Feng's world spirit will come to receive him."
The moment those words fell, the Asura Sword entered Chu Feng's body through the spatial gate, and the gate closed behind it.
"Fishy, Shaoyu, come with me."
The Xianhai Fish Clan's patriarch immediately scooped Chu Feng into his arms, and as he spoke, he brought Little Fishy and Xianhai Shaoyu along, departing the area.
"I'll go have a look as well. You lot stay behind and clean up the mess, but don't take too long — you need to leave as quickly as possible. This commotion has surely drawn the attention of every faction, and it's only a matter of time before someone shows up."
Little Fishy's grandfather said this to Little Fishy's mother.
"Where should we regroup?" Little Fishy's mother asked.
"Everyone gather at the Primordial Killing Sea." With that, Little Fishy's grandfather soared into the sky.
Little Fishy's mother swept her sleeve, and every divine weapon scattered across heaven and earth fell neatly into a brand-new Universe Bag.
She then turned to the assembled members of the Xianhai Fish Clan.
"Search for them. Find every remaining treasure of the Divine Clan. No one is to keep anything for themselves."
"You have one hour. After one hour, everyone must return here and regroup."
Once Little Fishy's mother finished speaking, she took to the air — but instead of searching for the Divine Clan's treasures, she descended into a stretch of ruins.
This had once been Shenyi's residence, formerly resplendent with gold and jade, but now reduced to rubble by Chu Feng.
In truth, the lightning's destruction ran far deeper underground than what was visible on the surface.
With a mere thought, Little Fishy's mother released the might of a Heavenly God. The soil immediately churned, forming a passage that led straight down into the depths. She followed it and quickly arrived at an underground palace.
Under normal circumstances, this place should have been destroyed as well, but when Chu Feng unleashed his Lightning Tribulation, he had deliberately avoided it.
Chu Feng must have discovered this place long ago — otherwise, this coincidence would be too great.
Little Fishy's mother opened the palace doors and soon found a figure dressed in a red robe, bound in chains from head to toe, with an iron mask covering their face.
...
When Egg Egg and the Asura Army arrived at the entrance to the Primordial Killing Sea, the Xianhai Fish Clan's patriarch along with Little Fishy and the other three had already made it there.
Egg Egg walked straight up to the patriarch and took Chu Feng from his arms.
Then she stepped directly into that black vortex.
Entering the Primordial Killing Sea, Egg Egg flew swiftly onward, but along the way she encountered no obstacles whatsoever.
Even when she reached the zone that had once been saturated with killing intent, not a trace of it appeared.
