Time flies, seven years pass in the blink of an eye.
Within seven years, the Immortal World was in turmoil. Although Shendu still showed no sign of a full-scale invasion of the Immortal World, it had frequently appeared in the Immortal World and even publicly admitted that the Shenxuan Dynasty was the puppet of Shendu.
Fortunately, the three major holy places have joined the world one after another, and there are powerful emperors patrolling to appease people's hearts, so the fairy world will not be in chaos.
Moreover, under the call of the Nine Palaces Holy Land, many forces in the immortal world formed the "God-killing Alliance" headed by the Nine Palaces Holy Land, forming a rivalry with the gods.
…
The mysterious canyon remains peaceful for seven years.
On this day, two figures stood in the sky, looking at the cave closed by rocks from a distance, and both sighed.
For seven years, they have come here every once in a while, hoping that a miracle will happen.
However, there has been no sign of the sealed cave being broken open.
The two of them also joined forces several times to try to blast away the rocks, but the results were predictable.
In the sealed land, even unicorns are trapped and unable to escape. It would be difficult for them to cause damage to the sealed land.
"Grandma, it's been seven years and there's still no movement at all. Is Xiao Chen going to do it?"
Ye Yanyao was undoubtedly worried about Xiao Chen.
Although Xiao Chen vowed that nothing would happen to him, it would just take a little longer, but it was too long.
"Don't worry, we should believe him!" Emperor Tianhu said, "Seven years is actually not a long time for us cultivators. It's just that care makes us confused, so we feel it is very long. Maybe in Emperor Xiao's heart, it's just
Time for a nap!”
After a pause, she added, "Besides, the monster has been sealed for so long and cannot cause any damage to the cave. This means that the sealing of the cave entrance was initiated by Emperor Xiao. Emperor Xiao should have his own considerations!"
"Having said that, it's really confusing. He didn't say what he was going to do!" Ye Yanyao sighed.
"Emperor Xiao's thinking and state of mind are not comparable to those of us. It's natural that we don't understand his actions!" said Emperor Tianhu.
Ye Yanyao was silent after hearing this.
During this time, Emperor Tianhu told her a lot about Xiao Chen's deeds, and she realized that Xiao Chen was originally from the fairy world from the beginning, and had reached unattainable heights.
Of course, she had never experienced it personally, and her understanding of Xiao Chen's power was still not as profound as that of the Sky Fox Immortal Emperor.
"That's it for today, we'll come back next time!" Immortal Emperor Tianhu felt that it was almost time to go back.
"Yeah!" Ye Yanyao nodded.
Just after the two of them left for about a hundred miles.
suddenly……
Boom!
A loud noise shook the sky, and the entire fairy world seemed to be shaking violently.
The expressions of Emperor Tianhu and Ye Yanyao changed, and they immediately turned around and looked in the direction of the mysterious canyon with horrified expressions.
There, a huge beam of light formed by the gathering of black and yellow power penetrated the earth and destroyed the sky. It was terrifying and powerful, like some kind of forbidden escape.
"Grandma, in that direction... could it be..." Ye Yanyao was shocked.
"Let's go over and take a look!"
After hesitating, Emperor Tianhu decided to go over and find out.
Although judging from the aura emanating, they would definitely die if there was danger, but out of her trust in Xiao Chen, she was not worried.
Soon, the two returned to the mysterious canyon again.
As far as the eye can see, it is a mess. The canyon, which was already low in terrain, now has a huge pit, as deep as a black hole with no bottom.
"The cave is gone!"
Ye Yanyao was frightened.
The location of the pit covered the location of the cave. It was obviously because a powerful force broke through the seal of the cave, which caused such a terrifying movement.
But who has such powerful power to directly blast through the cave where the ancient seal barrier exists?
"There is someone under the pit!"
The Heavenly Fox Immortal Emperor's consciousness has scanned into the deep pit and found a familiar yet unfamiliar aura rising slowly.
"That is……"
Ye Yanyao also quickly saw a figure floating up from the deep pit.
At first, she thought it was Xiao Chen who floated up.
But soon, she denied it again.
Because that person looked old, with shriveled skin and fluffy hair. He looked like an old man who had been ravaged by millions of years. His whole body was lifeless and he looked completely unconscious.
"Emperor Xiao?" Emperor Tianhu looked at the unconscious old man in surprise, "How could it become like this?"
"Grandma, what are you saying, is he really Xiao Chen?" Ye Yanyao was shocked.
"You can't be wrong!" Emperor Tianhu said solemnly, "A person's appearance can be changed, but his aura is difficult to change. Besides, besides Emperor Xiao, is there another person in this place?"
"this……"
Ye Yanyao looked at the old man, still a little hard to accept.
She could not imagine what Xiao Chen had endured in the past seven years to become like this.
At this moment, the unconscious old figure had risen to the sky and stayed there, motionless.
"Grandma, should we go over and take a look?" Ye Yanyao asked.
"No!" said the Emperor Tianhu, "pay attention to his breathing. He is at a critical moment and cannot be disturbed!"
"breathe?"
Ye Yanyao was startled.
After carefully exploring the past again, I discovered that the pale old figure was indeed in a magical state.
His breathing was extremely regular, and as time went by, the amplitude became larger and larger.
Exhale!
Breathe in!
Exhale!
Breathe in!
…
Rumble!
As the frequency accelerated and the amplitude increased, his breathing actually affected a radius of thousands of miles. The continuous mountains were shaken together, like a precursor to a major earthquake.
At the same time, the surrounding immortal energy continued to gather around him, forming a whirlpool of immortal energy visible to the naked eye.
"Is he absorbing the immortal energy to heal his wounds?" Ye Yanyao said.
"No, it's not just the immortal energy!" said the Emperor Tianhu, "he is absorbing the essence of life!"
"Essence of life?"
Ye Yanyao was startled and looked around.
Sure enough, the flowers, plants, trees, insects, fish, birds, and beasts in the forest on the ground continued to die and wither, and wisps of life essence gathered into smaller pieces, gathering crazily around the old figure, and were eventually completely absorbed.
As the essence of life enters the body, the white hair of the old man fades away, the skin color fades, the wrinkles fade away, and the breath grows vigorously and regains vitality.
"It can actually deprive the essence of life and rejuvenate one's youth!"
Emperor Tianhu was shocked. Such methods were simply unbelievable to her.
"Wow, it's really Xiao Chen!"
Ye Yanyao suddenly became excited.
Because the old man shed his old coat and finally began to regain his original appearance.
"It's still a little short, let's wait!"
Emperor Tianhu still didn't dare to step forward rashly.
After continuing to wait for about half an hour, Xiao Chen's breathing gradually slowed down, and his plundering of immortal energy and life essence also slowly stopped.
At the last moment, his eyes slowly opened, and his consciousness finally fully awakened.
