123: Chapter 123 Friends from My Hometown

Watching the three of them leave, a faint sadness and reluctance finally appeared on Ling Yichen's face.

Although the time he had spent with Chan Yiming was not long, during these past days, he could truly feel the kindness Chan Yiming had shown him, and he had felt the affection of an elder from him, making up for the part he had been missing for the past six years.

However, he also understood that Chan Yiming carried many responsibilities and emotions on his shoulders as well.

It was understandable that he had to leave; Ling Yichen could not say anything, nor would he stop him.

He was just feeling a little worried.

The power that Sky City had just displayed was terrifying.

Although only the Lord of the Divine City was a demigod, he had personally said that he could kill the Twelve Heavenly Gods.

Even though he had not reached the demigod level, he knew that there were differences in strength among demigods.

Just like experts at other levels, even at the same B-rank, the gap between minor realms was like an unbridgeable chasm.

Even a numerical advantage was not enough to bridge this gap.

"Martial Uncle Lu and Martial Aunt Red Cherry seem to be demigods; even if they are only the weakest demigods, they should have the ability to protect themselves!"

"I must work harder to improve my strength and reach the demigod level sooner. By then, I will be able to storm Sky City."

Ling Yichen thought to himself, then looked at the purple light spots floating in the void. Those were pure fragments of divine consciousness, which could turn into pure divine consciousness after being absorbed and refined.

He immediately said to the three people beside him, "Those are good things; you should also try to absorb and refine some!"

After speaking, he sat cross-legged and released the Star Source Conduction Formation again. However, this time he did not fully activate the power of the five star halos, but only activated the power of two of them.

Even so, a massive suction force still erupted from his body.

In an instant, countless purple light spots converged toward Green Fox Mountain like clusters of cherry blossoms. Most of them were absorbed by Ling Yichen, but he didn't hog them all; he also left some for Ye Qingzhu and the others to absorb.

"What pure divine consciousness!"

When Ling Yichen had initially refined some of the divine consciousness fragments and obtained some divine consciousness liquid, he couldn't help but exclaim.

In the past, what he absorbed was merely purple mist, but now he was absorbing purple fragments. The purity of the divine consciousness contained within them was far beyond what he had absorbed before, and the concentration was also far higher. After absorbing for just a moment, a large pool of divine consciousness liquid had appeared at the bottom of his spiritual ocean.

At this rate, he might be able to accumulate a lake of divine consciousness today!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but increase his power and activate the third star halo. In an instant, the suction force surged again, and more divine consciousness fragments were gathered over.

Ling Yichen was absorbing them frantically, and Ye Qingzhu and the others, who were experiencing the power of these divine consciousness fragments for the first time, all used their strongest power to accelerate their absorption.

Just as they were struggling to absorb these divine consciousness fragments, high in the sky, that huge immortal eye was also putting up a strong resistance.

As it continuously erupted with power, striking against the seal, one could see cracks quietly appearing on the purple ring.

Although Ling Yichen was trying his best to absorb the divine consciousness fragments, he did not lose focus on the immortal eye.

Seeing that it was about to break free, he was genuinely happy!

He silently shouted in his heart, "Come on, you're almost there!"

He couldn't help but think of the excitement and joy he felt when he was about to escape from the Celestial God Laboratory.

Just at this moment, a weak voice suddenly appeared in his spiritual sea of consciousness: "Help me!"

This made Ling Yichen shudder, and he almost interrupted the operation of the Star Source Conduction Formation!

"Who is it?" He responded with his thoughts, asking that voice.

However, after waiting for a long time, that voice did not appear again.

Just when he thought it was over, he saw the immortal eye high in the sky erupt with a powerful impact once again.

At the same time, that weak voice sounded in Ling Yichen's mind again: "Friend from my hometown, help me, please help me!"

In that instant, every hair on Ling Yichen's body stood on end. He directly interrupted the operation of the Star Source Conduction Formation, stood up with a start, and stared at the immortal eye high in the sky!

"Is it you talking to me?"

Ling Yichen's brows were furrowed, and his eyes were staring at the immortal eye with extreme intensity.

At this moment, his attention was extremely focused, constantly observing the changes in the immortal eye, waiting for that voice to appear again.

Sure enough, as the immortal eye launched another attack against the purple ring, that weak voice sounded again: "It's me!"

Ling Yichen's pupils contracted instantly upon hearing this. At the same time, his face showed unprecedented excitement. He heard himself responding eagerly, "You said 'friend from my hometown'? What does that mean?"

He actually already had a bold guess in his heart, but before it was confirmed, he dared not imagine too much, for fear that he would fall into obsession because of it!

Because this was extremely significant to him!

This time, he waited for a full five minutes!

When the immortal eye launched another attack on the purple ring, the weak voice sounded again, but the voice was weaker and quieter than the previous times, so quiet that it seemed like the whisper of a dying person.

And the two words that the voice answered made Ling Yichen tremble all over, his breathing becoming extremely rapid.

"Ear...th!"

Ling Yichen clenched his hands into fists, looking at the immortal eye with excitement!

"Earth! Good heavens, is this immortal a person from Earth? Is it a cultivator from Earth?"

At this moment, countless conjectures flashed through Ling Yichen's mind!

Was it a native cultivator from Earth who wandered to this planet after death?

Or was it a person from Earth who transmigrated to an otherworldly realm to cultivate, and after falling, wandered to this planet?

Ling Yichen wished he could talk with him all night!

Meeting an old friend in a foreign land is already rare, let alone meeting an old friend on a foreign planet!

What kind of fate could have allowed them to meet in an otherworldly world!

Ling Yichen's mood at this moment was even more excited than when he escaped from the Celestial God Laboratory!

At this moment, he decided to make a move again!

After a short rest, his Mental Energy had recovered a little, and he had a bit more divine consciousness liquid, which could barely support him to make another move, but it could only last for a minute at most!

If this one minute could help him break free, it would be worth it!

Thinking this, he glanced at the three people beside him and immediately rushed toward the top of Green Fox Mountain.

After quickly reaching the top of the mountain, he activated the Star Source Conduction Formation again. When the five star halos erupted with terrifying energy again, forming a golden pillar that shot straight at the purple ring, a shout of anger suddenly rang out from the void.

"Seeking death!"

The next second, Ling Yichen immediately saw a phantom manifesting in the void. The phantom's appearance could not be seen clearly, only a blurred outline. It was huge, with eight pairs of wings on its back, a huge divine ring behind it, and it was emitting ten thousand rays of light!

The phantom manifested on the side of the immortal eye, seemingly having been there all along, attempting to re-seal the immortal eye.

Therefore, facing Ling Yichen's interference, it erupted with endless anger!

Two balls of divine light suddenly appeared where its eyes should be, and the next second, those two balls of divine light charged directly toward Ling Yichen!

When those two balls of divine light tore through the air and arrived, Ling Yichen clearly saw a five-colored barrier appear in mid-air. The barrier instantly blocked the two balls of divine light, and they were in a stalemate.

This was the first time Ling Yichen had seen this barrier; he supposed that it was the barrier separating the heavens and the earth.

However, he had not triggered this barrier when he jumped down from the Celestial God Laboratory, nor had he triggered it when he explored the moon several times.

After thinking about it for a moment, he understood.

This barrier should only be triggered when reaching a certain level of strength, such as a demigod.

This also explained why Martial Uncle Lu Yuan and the other two did not fly directly to Sky City, but chose to storm the tower instead.

"Phew, luckily there is this barrier, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to block that attack!"

Ling Yichen thought to himself.

Being able to seal the immortal eye, it was definitely a demigod without a doubt.

However, before Ling Yichen could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the five-colored barrier instantly pierced through, tearing open two holes, and the attack charged directly toward Green Fox Mountain.

Ling Yichen's face changed instantly, and he cursed angrily: "Damn, is it this useless? It can even be pierced through like this!"

However, although he was cursing, his hand movements did not stop!

He had already planned to sacrifice this body to help the immortal eye break free; after all, they were fellow countrymen from Earth!

Anyway, he could be reborn; he had nothing to fear!!

Therefore, he released all his power, and the golden pillar slammed into the purple ring in an instant!

Boom~

The immortal eye trembled, erupting with unprecedented power again. At this very moment, several more cracks appeared on the purple ring, and it was about to shatter at any moment.

However, just at this time, the two balls of divine light also arrived above Green Fox Mountain, about to strike at Ling Yichen!

Hum~

Suddenly, a barrier appeared over the entire Green Fox Mountain, and eight small flags manifested from around Green Fox Mountain!

Another barrier!

Although this barrier was not as powerful as the one in the sky, it barely resisted the two balls of divine light for a moment, blocking its offensive!

However, very quickly, this barrier was also torn open with two holes, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived above Ling Yichen's head.

Just as Ling Yichen had resigned himself to his fate and was preparing to test how strong a demigod's attack was, he saw a black starburst suddenly appear above his head. A huge palm with black scales abruptly emerged from the starburst and grabbed at the two balls of divine light.

The divine light collided with the black hand, instantly erupting with heaven-shaking power.

The next second, the black hand was shattered, turning into black light that filled the sky and dissipated. The two balls of divine light veered to the side, bypassed Ling Yichen, and plunged into Green Fox Mountain.

Boom~

The entire Green Fox Mountain instantly erupted with violent tremors. The huge Green Fox Mountain collapsed by half in an instant, leaving only the half where Ling Yichen was standing intact.

Ye Qingzhu and the others were scared half to death and quickly hid far away.

It really was a case of "when gods fight, the innocent bystanders suffer"; they had almost been dragged into it.

"We can't stay here long; we must find another place to absorb!"

He finished speaking, grabbed Ye Qingzhu and Tian Yinying, and ran down the mountain.

Ye Qingzhu looked worriedly at Ling Yichen on the top of the mountain.

At this time, Ling Yichen was still maintaining the output of the star halos, helping the immortal eye break free.

He gritted his teeth, making a final stand, silently counting the time he could still hold on in his heart!

"Ten, nine, eight... three, two, one!"

The countdown finished, and he had to withdraw the star halos, collapsing to the ground, panting like an ox!

At this moment, he was truly drained, with nothing left.

The Mental Energy ocean was dried up, and the divine consciousness liquid he had just absorbed and refined was also gone.

His head was aching terribly, he was on the verge of fainting at any moment, and everything he saw was double.

"Buddy, I've done my best, you keep going!"

Ling Yichen lay directly on the ground, quietly watching the immortal eye make its final struggle!

And the immortal eye did not let him down. It erupted with one more impact, and the already precarious purple ring finally could not withstand it, with a dull thud.

This last purple ring also exploded.

A terrifying shockwave erupted from the firmament, spreading in all directions, forming a huge purple air ring.

The purple air ring instantly swept toward the faint city in the void, and Ling Yichen immediately saw that the city was also affected.

The huge city seemed to be trembling violently; it seemed that buildings had collapsed, and countless fragments were falling toward the Surface. He even vaguely saw people mixed in among these fragments.

Of course, at this moment, he didn't have much thought for these things.

His gaze was locked on the immortal eye for the first time.

The completely unsealed immortal eye finally revealed its true appearance completely!

It was a huge eyeball, a flesh-and-blood eyeball, with wisps of immortal energy lingering around it.

Immediately after, Ling Yichen saw a scene he would never forget for the rest of his life.

He saw the huge eyeball turn toward Sky City, its gaze fixed on Sky City.

Then, it closed, and opened again.

When this immortal eye opened, a huge immortal blade, a thousand meters long, burst forth from its pupil, carrying an invincible momentum as it slashed horizontally toward Sky City, as if it wanted to cut Sky City in half.

Ling Yichen's jaw dropped in shock, his eyes full of amazement and envy.

Goodness, when will I be able to have such powerful attack power!

Just a blink of an eye, and it could erupt with power even stronger than a demigod!

Boom~

The huge immortal blade slashed at the periphery of Sky City, triggering a barrier.

But immediately, the barrier exploded, just like a shattered crystal ball, completely exploding.

The huge immortal blade slashed directly into Sky City, cutting the high-rise buildings of Sky City flat with one strike, as if a sickle cutting wheat.

Clatter~

Countless broken buildings fell toward the Surface, as if the sky were falling and the earth were caving in.

Not only that, but Ling Yichen also saw that Sky City, which was like a sacred place, had tilted to one side after being slashed by the huge immortal blade, and it had not been able to recover for a long time, as if it had suffered permanent damage.

At this, Ling Yichen couldn't help but burst into laughter!

"Good, well slashed!"

However, this laugh almost made him faint, and he felt extremely dizzy.

He hurriedly composed himself and looked at the huge immortal eye.

Coincidentally, the huge immortal eye happened to turn its gaze and looked at Ling Yichen.

Still, a weak voice echoed in Ling Yichen's mind, with only two simple words: "Thank you!"

A smile immediately spread across Ling Yichen's face, and he replied, "You're welcome!"

At this moment, he really had so many questions he wanted to ask, but before he could speak, he saw the immortal eye close its eyes again, and then open them again.

Swish~

A pale white beam of light burst forth from its pupil, falling toward the Surface at an astonishing speed.

The five-colored barrier appeared again, but it couldn't even block it for a second; it was quickly pierced through, and it came straight toward Green Fox Mountain.

Similarly, the eight small flags appeared again, and a barrier was generated.

Unfortunately, under the impact of the pale white beam of light, the barrier instantly exploded, and the eight small flags scattered on the spot, eventually turning into a jade pendant, and then the jade pendant also turned into sand and dissipated.

Seeing that the pale white beam of light was about to land on Ling Yichen, the black starburst appeared again.

This time, it was not just a huge black hand that appeared, but an entire black figure standing on the starburst, seemingly preparing to take that pale white beam of light for Ling Yichen.

However~

A bizarre scene appeared; the pale white beam of light actually turned like a spiritual snake, bypassing the black figure and rapidly heading toward Ling Yichen.
