169: Chapter 169 Speed ​​of Life and Death: Liuli, Hold On!

"Boom—!!!"

As the Nine Revolutions Replenishing Heaven Pill entered her mouth, a surge of energy, vast and boundless to the extreme, instantly exploded within Jiang Liuli's withered and silent body.

It was not a gentle nourishment, but a devastating impact like a volcanic eruption.

"Pfft—!"

Jiang Liuli's face, already pale as paper, instantly flushed crimson, followed immediately by a mouthful of black blood spewing out.

Her body arched violently, much like a shrimp thrown into boiling oil, and a scream of extreme agony escaped her throat.

"Liuli!"

Xu Chen's expression changed drastically; his heart felt as if it were being tightly clutched by an invisible hand.

He had calculated everything, but missed one point—the weak cannot bear such potent nourishment!

Jiang Liuli's body had long been hollowed out by the fetus; it was like a delicate porcelain vase covered in cracks.

And the Nine Revolutions Replenishing Heaven Pill was an Imperial-grade Divine Pill; its medicinal potency was so overbearing that it could cause even a Great Saint to undergo a rebirth.

Pouring a great river into a small cup could only result in one thing—the cup would be destroyed and the person would die!

"Damn it! Damn it! How could I be so foolish!"

Xu Chen's eyes were bloodshot with anxiety, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

Without a moment's hesitation, he kicked off his shoes, climbed onto the bed, and sat cross-legged behind Jiang Liuli.

"Hongmeng Creation Art, absorb for me!"

He pressed his hands firmly against Jiang Liuli's heartbreakingly thin back, his vast, sea-like Quasi-Saint spiritual power circulating frantically, pouring into her body without regard for the cost.

He wanted to act as that "container" to help her shoulder this violent medicinal power that was enough to burst her apart!

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle..."

Even with Xu Chen's assistance, the Meridians inside Jiang Liuli's body still let out cries of unbearable strain.

Tiny blood vessels burst one after another, and fresh blood instantly stained the warm jade bed beneath her.

Her aura not only failed to improve but was actually falling at an even faster rate.

The shadow of death had never loomed so clearly over their heads.

"Hus... Husband..."

Jiang Liuli's consciousness was beginning to drift, but one of her hands still firmly guarded her lower abdomen.

"Save... save the child... don't worry about me..."

Her voice was so faint it was almost inaudible, and every word seemed to exhaust her last ounce of strength.

"Shut up! Shut up!"

Xu Chen roared, tears streaming down uncontrollably.

"Jiang Liuli! Listen to me! I want you to live! I want you to survive as well!"

"If you dare to die, I will take the child and... and pierce a hole in this sky!"

While shouting these harsh words, he was frantically overdrawing his own Origin.

Even as the backlash from the medicinal power caused his Meridians to ache intensely, and even as blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, he refused to let go.

Human power is, after all, limited.

Facing the heaven-destroying and earth-shattering medicinal power of the Imperial-grade Divine Pill, Xu Chen's Quasi-Saint cultivation appeared to be merely a drop in the bucket.

Watching as the light in Jiang Liuli's eyes grew dimmer and dimmer, and the cracks on her Nine-Orifice Exquisite Heart multiplied, nearing complete disintegration.

Despair crept into Xu Chen's heart for the first time.

"No... don't..."

Just at this critical moment.

"Thump!"

A dull yet powerful heartbeat suddenly came from deep within Jiang Liuli's lower abdomen.

Immediately after.

Two streams of Origin aura, though weak, were incredibly pure and overbearing, awakening without warning.

That was the aura of Chaos!

It was the instinctive reaction of two unborn little lives, having sensed the despair of their mother about to leave them.

"That is..."

Xu Chen widened his eyes, looking at Jiang Liuli's protruding abdomen in disbelief.

He saw two streams of Qi, one black and one white, actually flowing backward from the fetus's umbilical cord, rushing into Jiang Liuli's Meridians that were on the verge of collapse.

That was the Chaos Origin! It was the beginning of all Dao!

These two little ones were actually nourishing their mother in return!

"Hum—!"

Under the suppression of this supreme Chaos Origin, the previously raging and violent medicinal power of the Nine Revolutions Replenishing Heaven Pill, like a mouse encountering its natural predator, instantly became docile.

They no longer wreaked havoc, but instead, following the direction guided by the Chaos Qi, slowly flowed toward Jiang Liuli's broken heart.

"Child... it's the child saving you!"

Xu Chen trembled all over with excitement, his voice changing pitch.

"Liuli! Do you see that? The children don't want to lose their mother! They are helping you!"

"What reason do you still have to give up? Hold on for me!!!"

Perhaps it was the miracle of the mother-child connection, or perhaps Xu Chen's call had taken effect.

Jiang Liuli, who had been on the verge of falling completely into darkness, suddenly trembled.

Deep within her unfocused pupils, a spark of obsession called "maternal love" reignited.

"Child... my child..."

She gritted her teeth, enduring the agonizing pain of her Soul being torn apart, and began to cooperate with the Chaos Qi, guiding the medicinal power to repair herself.

Finally.

With the combined efforts of Xu Chen, the children, and herself.

The out-of-control situation was finally stabilized.

The first wisp of gentle medicinal power successfully merged into that incomplete heart.

The first heart orifice, originally gray and lifeless, lit up with a faint yet hopeful red glow at this moment.

"It's stabilized..."

Xu Chen looked at that red glow, feeling as if he had completely collapsed from exhaustion, gasping for air.
