This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

As time went by, everyone was almost at their limit.

Even the spirit crystals on his body were used up.

But the destructive storm outside the Xuanhuang Divine Light continued to rage.

Gradually, some people began to feel despair and experience feelings of frustration.

In the end, only Li Daoxuan and four quasi-emperors remained to hold on.

The rest of the people could no longer muster any energy.

Only Qingfeng and Wang Jingshu, because of their sword bodies, had their internal energy flowing continuously and were still able to hold on.

However, Li Daoxuan secretly sent them a message, telling them not to reveal their extraordinary nature unless absolutely necessary.

So the two of them, like the others, pretended to be exhausted and sat around Li Daoxuan to protect him.

After some time, the Emperor's son, Chang Geng, suddenly trembled, his face turned pale, and a trace of blood gleaming with divine light spilled from the corner of his mouth.

The Martial God of the Hongyu Imperial Clan was shocked and quickly took out a piece of white spirit crystal and handed it over.

Chang Geng glanced at the Heavenly Emperor and his companions, and gave a helpless, bitter smile.

"After all, I'm getting old..."

He was the only cultivator present who had lived for tens of thousands of years. If he were an ordinary martial god, he would probably have long since exhausted his lifespan and died.

However, he possesses the bloodline of an emperor, which allows him to maintain the combat power of a peak quasi-emperor.

However, when a sustained burst of power is needed, the drawbacks of lifespan limits become apparent.

With one less quasi-emperor, the pressure on the remaining four suddenly increased.

After holding out for nearly half a month, the second exhausted quasi-emperor appeared, namely Sikong Shuo, the ancestor of the Silent Divine Dynasty.

Less than five days after Sikong Shuo was exhausted, Ziying Divine Venerable of the Tianyu Imperial Clan also stepped down.

Her beautiful face was full of exhaustion and weakness as she was taken away by the Tianyu Imperial Clan.

In the end, only Li Daoxuan and the Heavenly Emperor remained to hold on.

Li Daoxuan glanced at the darkness beyond the Xuanhuang Divine Light and gave a wry smile.

Turning to look in the direction of the Heavenly Emperor, they found that the Heavenly Emperor was also looking over.

The two nodded to each other without saying a word.

A sense of mutual appreciation quietly began to grow within them.

Such desperate circumstances are the best test of a person's character.

In Li Daoxuan's view, although the Heavenly Emperor held a high position and was powerful and influential, he was indeed a person worth getting to know well.

Li Daoxuan couldn't help but recall the matter that the Heavenly Emperor had mentioned to him, which was to send him to the Heavenly Realm to spread the Dao.

He suddenly felt that the suggestion might not be entirely unacceptable.

Ten days or so later, even the Heavenly Emperor could not hold on any longer.

His once upright and gentle face was now completely devoid of color.

Even with spirit crystals, it might not be possible to make up for it.

A hint of regret flashed across the Heavenly Emperor's face as he looked at Li Daoxuan with a slightly apologetic expression and said:

"Brother Daoxuan, I'm afraid you'll have to work hard all by yourself from now on..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Heavenly Emperor's aura suddenly stopped, and he collapsed completely. He was caught by Di Hao, who had been guarding him from the side.

After the Heavenly Emperor withdrew, Li Daoxuan's body suddenly trembled.

Another mouthful of blood spurted out.

One after another, talismans flew up and landed on his body, but they still couldn't reverse the decline.

"Master..."

"Master, let me help you..."

"Master..."

Qingfeng and the others were extremely anxious, but there was nothing they could do.

It's a miracle that they've been able to hold out for so long in the face of such a devastating catastrophe.

Li Daoxuan, however, comforted them instead, saying:

"It's alright, your master... can still manage..."

Li Daoxuan would never give up easily until the very last moment.

He slowly closed his eyes, his mind quietly entering a state of tranquility.

They saw the dazzling three-colored divine flower in the Purple Palace of the Divine Court.

This flower is the culmination of all his spiritual practice.

Whether it's a past life or this life, all experiences and insights are contained within it.

Life-or-death crises can also present tremendous opportunities.

Li Daoxuan's heart gradually calmed down, and those scrolls of Daoist scriptures flowed through his mind.

Like clear mountain springs, they nourished his mind and spirit.

This allowed him to still have the strength to support the Xuanhuang Cauldron in continuing to resist the destructive storm.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Li Daoxuan.

Although they had long since given up hope, what if? What if this founder of Taoism led them to survive...?

Just then, someone suddenly exclaimed:

"Look...there's something..."

Hearing his exclamation, everyone turned to look.

However, after just one glance, everyone present was stunned into silence.

Amidst the endless storm of destruction, two beams of divine light appeared and disappeared in the sky.

Upon closer inspection, the two beams of light turned out to be a pair of eyes.

A pair of human eyes.

What kind of beings are these humans who can walk through this storm that destroys everything?

At this moment, even the Heavenly Emperor found it difficult to remain calm.

Everyone thought of one possibility—the Great Emperor.

There is only one possibility for someone to survive in such an environment: the Great Emperor.

Only by becoming a great emperor can one survive in this desperate situation.

Just as everyone was looking at those eyes, those eyes seemed to have noticed them as well.

Immediately afterwards, everyone felt an extremely strong sense of oppression coming towards them.

A series of dazzling lights burst forth, unleashing a destructive storm, like a raging torrent rushing towards them.

Li Daoxuan felt immense pressure and almost instantly lost the ability to continue controlling the Taiyi Xuanhuang Cauldron.

The Taiyi Xuanhuang Cauldron also transformed into a stream of light and flew back into his body.

Everyone was horrified. Without the protection of the Taiyi Xuanhuang Cauldron, he would be reduced to ashes in an instant.

Just then, two enormous hands suddenly pierced through the destructive storm and descended.

It perfectly surrounded the area where everyone was, forming a barrier far more unbreakable than the Xuanhuang divine light, blocking all the destructive storms for them.

Before everyone could rejoice, the voice of the person who seemed to be the Great Emperor came in.

"You don't seem to belong to this time and space..."

"Between illusion and reality..."

"Tell me, where do you come from..."

The sound didn't just echo in their ears; it went directly into their hearts.

At this moment, Li Daoxuan was severely injured and unable to reply. The Heavenly Emperor then stood up and bowed to the being who appeared to be a Great Emperor, saying:

"We reply to the senior that we are indeed not people of this era, but rather people from several eras in the future, who were guided here by the Xuanhuang Ancient Path."

After thinking for a moment, the Heavenly Emperor continued:

"Since arriving here, we have also fought and bled on the battlefield. Now we are in dire straits. We beg you, senior, to consider our kinship and lend a helping hand. We will be eternally grateful..."

Amidst the devastating storm, those eyes seemed to be deep in thought.

The light in his eyes seemed to see right through everyone's soul.

Gradually, an extremely terrifying pressure began to fill the surroundings.

It felt as if the entire sky had pressed down.

The crowd looked pained and slowly knelt down.

Even the Heavenly Emperor and his companions couldn't withstand it, and their knees slowly bent.

"Senior...I have not uttered a single falsehood, please be merciful..."

Upon seeing this, Li Daoxuan immediately perked up, looked at those eyes, and with a flash of light in his palm, the Taiyi Xuanhuang Cauldron reappeared. Even if he were to die, he would never surrender.

"what?"

"You little rascal... seem a bit different..."
