Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 386 Turbulence of Time and Space
In the dark depths of the sea, the water is no longer calm, but flows rapidly with a piercing shriek, and countless turbulent currents are like mad dragons, intertwining and tearing each other apart.

Unbeknownst to them, Yun Yi's circular sword domain gradually shrank, and its luster dimmed. The situation was not much better for Lan Zhenxin either; the Seven Poison Bracelet kept emitting a teeth-grinding scraping sound, and the surface of the dark purple soft armor was covered with numerous mottled marks.

"Watch out to the left!" Bai Ze suddenly cried out urgently. Yun Yi quickly guided his sword domain to turn sharply to the right, and sure enough, he narrowly missed a sudden turbulent current.

Su Qing said with lingering fear, "That was close!"

Yun Yi said, "This Ruins of Return is even more difficult to deal with than I imagined, and it seems to stretch on forever."

Lan Zhenxin was naturally unwilling: "Now is not the time to back down. We both know very well that if we continue to hold back, we may both die here!"

Both of them had been immersed in the Demonic Sect for many years and naturally had some tricks up their sleeves, but it seems they will have to use all their strength to escape alive now.

The next moment, Yun Yi rallied his spirits, and the surrounding sword domain was restored to its original state. Lan Zhenxin, on the other hand, consumed a Gu worm she had treasured for many years, immediately replenishing her spiritual power.

The group continued forward, with King Jinlong providing general directions and Bai Ze providing early warnings.

Thanks to its incredible luck, it narrowly escaped the turbulence several times.

After walking for a while, the Golden Dragon King suddenly began to frantically whip its tail in the cage, its scales emitting rainbow light that illuminated the nearby seawater, as if it had sensed something terrifying.

Bai Ze was also gesturing for us not to continue forward.

"This..." Yun Yi couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. Under the influence of the endless turbulence, the seawater in front of him seemed to be shattered glass.

The spacetime here is disordered, and Lan Zhenxin throws out a green snake as a test.

Before everyone's eyes, half of the snake's body suddenly withered rapidly, its skin and flesh peeling away, leaving only bare bones. The other half visibly began to shrink, transforming into a wriggling, juvenile form.

In the end, the two halves of the snake were completely annihilated, and the powder fell into the sea and disappeared without a trace.

Yun Yi sighed, "With such a level of spacetime turbulence, even the Great Dao would be obliterated."

Even the most powerful cultivators can only live for a thousand or ten thousand years, while the seawater in the Ruins of the East Sea has endured countless years.

Lan Zhenxin wholeheartedly agreed: "Perhaps Xiao Buyi's Vajra Dharma Form can pass through here unscathed, but for you and me, even the slightest scratch would be a catastrophic disaster."

"But this should be the last stretch of the road." Yun Yi pointed to the distance, where the core of Guixu should be, where countless turbulent currents wove together a human-shaped outline of moderate size.

The water spirit sat cross-legged, with a door radiating a deep blue light behind it.

Clearly, this abrupt door is the passageway to leave the Ruins of Return.

"Hurry up!" Yun Yi suddenly urged, and the sword domain suddenly contracted, resembling a shuttle of parting sorrows.

Lan Zhenxin followed closely behind, and the sudden, distorted sense of space and time made her feel extremely uncomfortable, almost causing her to spit out a mouthful of blood.

Su Qing, whose cultivation level was the lowest, had blood seeping from her nostrils and the corners of her eyes. Strands of her hair accidentally brushed against the edge of the turbulent flow, and the ends of her hair immediately turned gray.

Bai Ze's body radiated spiritual light, and the power of his destiny transformed into golden ripples that pushed aside the surrounding turbulence. The Brocade Dragon King also suddenly roared loudly, and the "well"-shaped cage disintegrated on its own, its palm-sized fish body expanding into a three-zhang-long dragon-shaped phantom.

The phantom guided the group through layers of turbulent water, like shattered glass. With each step forward, Yun Yi and Lan Zhenxin felt their true essence being depleted, as if endless years were eroding their foundation.

As he drew closer to the azure gate, Yun Yi dared not let his guard down, his gaze fixed on the colorless water figure.

Since it appeared in the core of the Ruins of Return, it must be a mechanism guarding the Realm of Longevity.

Sure enough, as the group approached, the azure door was within reach, and the seated water spirit suddenly opened its eyes. The Guixu Sea instantly boiled, and countless spatial currents transformed into transparent tentacles that wrapped around the group.

Lan Zhenxin was the first to be hit. The Seven Poison Bracelet gradually cracked amidst the violent tremors, and a turbulent current carrying the erosive power of time struck straight at her back.

Although she tried her best to avoid it, she still accidentally brushed against it a little, and in an instant, the black hair at her temples turned white.

Even more deadly was that the water creature could indeed move normally within the Ruins. Its movements were incredibly fast; its arms seemed to transform into hundred-foot-long raging waves, crashing down with a deafening roar!
This is adding chaos upon chaos!

Yun Yi held Su Qing tightly and rushed towards the exit without regard for anything else. At this moment, he had no time to make any plans, and all his actions were based on instinct.

Whether it was Bai Ze's luck or not, the water creature seemed to be very interested in Lan Zhen, and kept attacking her.

With this, the pressure on Yun Yi's side was greatly reduced. With the full force of the Rules Dao, his speed increased by three points, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the azure door.

The newly freed Jinlong King charged headlong into it, indicating that the Longevity Realm lay just beyond.

Yun Yi couldn't help but glance behind him, only to see Lan Zhenxin caught in the crossfire of the turbulent currents and the water elementals. She had just dodged an attack, but at the cost of one of her Seven Poison Bracelets shattering. A bowl-sized hole had also been corroded into her chest, revealing her rapidly aging skin beneath.

She flung out several Gu worms, but they were pulverized the moment they touched the water spirit.

She hadn't lied before; the effectiveness of poisons is greatly reduced underwater.

Lan Zhenxin could indeed poison all living beings within a radius of thousands of miles, but what use would that be? Her greatest opponent now is not alive at all.

She didn't even have time to speak, she could only focus on dodging, and the despair in her eyes grew deeper and deeper.

Yun Yi hesitated for a moment, then finally made up his mind. He used his sword finger to cut his palm, and the blood droplet merged into the square-shaped sword, giving the ruler-like sword a touch of crimson.

Immediately afterwards, Yun Yi measured the attack range of the water elemental with his eyes, and took the opportunity to swing his sword. Instantly, streaks of light red sword intent appeared out of thin air, which could even cut through the spatial turbulence.

He landed perfectly between Lan Zhenxin and Shui Ren's fists, giving her a sliver of hope.

"Let's go!" Yun Yi shouted.

The rules and regulations form a "well" shape, trapping the water people within it.

However, the water elemental still had power left, and it stirred up countless turbulent currents to attack Yun Yi directly.

At the critical moment of life and death, Yun Yi suddenly opened the prison cell, no longer using the rules and regulations to defend against the attack, but instead actively used the power of the turbulent currents to shoot them into the door like bullets.

Lan Zhenxin was seriously injured and on the verge of death. She felt someone pull her up and then she passed through the azure light curtain together.

Before they could even feel relieved to have escaped, a water spirit's hand suddenly passed through the door and came after them.

Su Qing was the slowest and fell right behind, about to be hit by that palm.

At the critical moment, Yun Yi pulled her into his arms and shielded her from the fatal blow with his own body.

As the azure doors slowly closed, the roar of the water elemental was shut out.

The morning light of the Longevity Realm illuminated all directions. Su Qing held Yun Yi, who had fallen into a coma, and found that his face was still young, but his body was rapidly becoming withered.
