“You have to hold on! He’ll dissipate soon!” Ling Yuling was struggling as well. After all, she was not at the peak of her power.

 

Given her current power, she had to pay a huge price to use the Artifact she had been keeping with her.

 

Ling Yuxian felt that she could no longer think straight. It was so much pain that it was as though she was being torn apart.

 

Fortunately, the feeling gradually subsided, and the tremendous Aura of Darkness dissipated as well.

 

Only a bit of that part of the Spirit of Eternity’s consciousness was left, so he was no longer arrogant.

 

“Have we succeeded?” Ling Yuxian let out a long breath. Her Soul was dim and full of cracks. She was not sure if they had succeeded.

 

“I think so.” Ling Yuling shook her head. Her tone sounded uncertain. Her Soul was in a terrible state as well.

 

She had used all her energy to cast the attacks earlier. Moreover, her Soul was damaged. Such injuries would take her a long time to recover.

 

“Haha. I told you that you stand no chance of winning. So, what if you can make me disappear? I’ll never die. Use as many moves as you want. I told you, darkness will eventually return and engulf the Boundless Expanse.” The Spirit of Eternity was heard speaking weakly. His voice was still full of disdain.

 

He did not vanish. Even though he was burned by the True Flame of the Great Dao, he still lingered in this space.

 

Following Ling Yuling’s moves, he was about to be destroyed. He was no longer as domineering as before.

 

Ling Yuxian was shocked, not expecting that the Spirit of Eternity was still around after she and her Older Sister had paid such a huge price.

 

Moreover, it was only a part of his consciousness. It was not the complete Spirit of Eternity.

 

She and her Older Sister had to return to the peak of their power before they could go against the complete Spirit of Eternity.

 

Ling Yuling furrowed her brows, intending to say something.

 

However, this last bit of the Spirit of Eternity suddenly sneered and turned into a wisp of black mist, dissipating within this space. It was a wonder where he was hiding.

 

Even Ling Yuling could not find his whereabouts for the time being.

 

“Forget it. We can’t really kill him anyway. It’s good enough that we can stall for some time. Sister, you’ll help my Soul return to my body and we’ll leave this space together. I have a feeling that the Spirit of Eternity still has other moves to play. He said that he is in control of the Jing Family. I’m worried things might go wrong, so we have to leave this place as quickly as possible,” Ling Yuling said solemnly. She did not have time to reminisce about the past with Ling Yuxian.

 

“I understand. I’ll surely help you get out of here.” Ling Yuxian nodded with a solemn expression.

 

Although she would like to reminisce about the past with her Older Sister as well, they did not have time to do that as they were running out of time.

 

Before penetrating the dimensional barrier and coming to this space, she had felt that something had gone wrong with the Jing Family. It seemed that something major had happened.

 

However, she was not in any mood to have a hand in that as she was focused on saving her Older Sister. Therefore, she was also worried that what the Spirit of Eternity had said was true. If something went wrong with the Jing Family, it would affect her plan of saving her Older Sister.

 

The next moment, she sat down cross-legged in the void and recited an ancient scripture as Runes surrounded her.

 

Dazzling meridians extended from another place. They looked like an ocean or a galaxy that continuously sent her a sufficient amount of energy.

 

Ling Yuling’s Soul also sat down cross-legged. She closed her eyes and rested her hands on her knees. She was using this energy to restore her power.

 

Her weak Soul was solidifying, and her vague face started showing signs of becoming clearer.

 

However, this was giving the Elders of the Imperial Celestial Palace a hard time.

 

After all, the energy which Ling Yuxian was using came from their bodies.

 

Ling Yuling was mighty when she was at the peak of her power. Even the energy of a Dao Realm expert would be drained in an instant and he would turn into a skeleton.

 

Considering this, Ling Yuling had been controlling how quickly she absorbed the energy. She was worried that the Sources of the Elders would be affected by the absorption, causing their powers to plunge.

 

Although her power would be restored that way, it would make other people pay a huge price. It was not the outcome she wanted to see.

 

In the dark voice space, a spring radiated light, making the Aura of Darkness in this place dissipate.

 

The Elders of the Imperial Celestial Palace were seated around the jade as they joined forces to send some energy to Ling Yuxian.

 

But now, all of them were going through a hard time. Some of them were exhausted and could not sit stably. Although they were madly consuming rare and valuable Pills, they still could not make up for the loss of energy.

 

“The Young Ancestor’s Soul has stepped onto the path to bring back the Founder. She’s using her body as the bridge to send energy to the Founder. Hold on, Elders. I believe the Founder will break free soon!” Said one of the Ancient Seniors who was responsible for guarding the place. They could tell what was going on.

 

Although they were Ancestral Dao Realm experts, they could not offer much help at this moment.

 

They wanted to send some energy over, but they were worried this would cause Ling Yuxian’s plan to go wrong.

 

“It seems that Senior Sister Yuxian is about to succeed. We’ve come at the right time.” Just then, a voice tinged with cheerfulness suddenly sounded, which startled the Ancient Seniors of the Imperial Celestial Palace.

 

A young man approached them from a distance. He was followed by a black-robed old man with a thin figure.

 

Although they were Ancestral Dao Realm experts, they could not detect the fluctuations of their auras.

 

“Are you the Disciple by the Young Ancestor’s side?”

 

After the Ancient Seniors recovered from their initial shock, they recognised Gu Changge and put on milder expressions. That was because Ling Yuxian had been quite close to him as of late.

 

On the other hand, they found the black-robed old man beside Gu Changge unfamiliar.

 

Gu Changge nodded at them with a smile. Ling Yuling’s body was seated in the centre. Since she had been unmoving for a long time, only a little of her Life Force remaining.

 

Although her face was as alluring as ever, she was no longer at the peak of her power. She was probably only left with one ten-thousandth of her power.

 

Her Soul was trying to return to her body.

 

Meanwhile, outside the dimensional space, the Ancient Seniors of the Imperial Celestial Palace were vigilant against this black-robed old man whom they found unfamiliar and whose aura was inscrutable. One of them asked solemnly, “Who are you?”
