233: The Emperor's heart is rekindled, a ray of hope.

Above the Perpetual Frozen Ice Plain, the spatial cracks left by that world-shaking Emperor Realm duel had not yet fully healed, and the biting cold wind still wailed. However, the suffocating pressure from beyond the border had already dissipated.

The Anti-Alliance army, filled with the relief of surviving a great catastrophe and profound sorrow, escorted the star tower, whose radiance had dimmed considerably, as if it were the most precious spark in the world, embarking on their return journey to the Pill Tower.

star tower, ninth floor.

Xiao Chen floated silently in the heart of the tower. His body was still covered in shocking cracks, like a porcelain vessel on the verge of shattering. His aura was as faint as a candle in the wind.

However, unlike his previous death-like state, at this moment, a faint but tenacious trace of vitality was slowly emanating from the dim Chaos Emperor Mark on his brow.

The star origin power accumulated in the tower for ten thousand years, guided by Star Emperor's final will, transformed into a gentle stream, tenderly nourishing his battered Emperor Realm body and his nearly extinguished Emperor Realm heart.

Moreover, wisps of extremely pure Chaos Origin Qi seeped out from the origin qi seed deep within his soul, like the most skilled artisan, slowly beginning to repair his Emperor Realm foundation, which had been damaged by burning.

This was an extremely slow process, but the dawn of hope had already appeared.

Pill Tower Holy Domain.

When the star tower, escorted by the allied army, slowly descended upon the Holy Domain Plaza, the countless cultivators and common folk who had been waiting there erupted in earth-shattering cheers!

But when they saw the mottled cracks on the tower and felt the faint aura of Xiao Chen within, the cheers quickly turned into heavy silence and worry.

"Immediately activate the highest-level 'Heavenly Stellar Array'!

Gather the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi of the entire Holy Domain to nourish the star tower and Emperor Xiao!" Xuan Kongzi, suppressing his grief, ordered in a hoarse voice.

"Send orders to all forces on the continent affiliated with the Anti-Alliance! Have them send all their treasured healing elixirs and life-extending wonders to the Pill Tower!" Yan Huang added with a grim expression, his eyes burning with fury, both for Xiao Chen's injuries and for the audacity of the enemy from beyond the border!

"The Dragon Clan will open the Ancestral Dragon Blood Pool! We are willing to use half of the Dragon Clan's essence blood as a guide to help Emperor Xiao recover!" Dragon Emperor's massive dragon head hung low, emitting a heavy dragon's roar. This was the Dragon Clan's greatest sacrifice and sincerity!

"My Flower Sect is willing to offer the life source of the 'Hundred Flowers Secret Realm'!" Flower Without Shadow said softly, her eyes firm.

"Sound Valley will play the 'Myriad Revival Melody' to gather the wishes of all beings and pray for Emperor Xiao!" Miao Yin, holding her zither, spoke with a clear and melodious voice.

The entire Anti-Alliance, and even the remaining forces of the entire continent, united unprecedentedly at this moment!

They clearly knew that Xiao Chen was their only hope against the enemy from beyond the border! He was the key to whether this world could continue to exist!

Days passed, one after another.

Under the nourishment of the Heavenly Stellar Array and countless heavenly treasures, the cracks on the star tower began to slowly heal. Xiao Chen's aura within the tower also gradually stabilized.

Although still faint, that trace of vitality grew increasingly robust and tenacious!

On this day, in the dead of night.

Within the ninth floor of the star tower, Xiao Chen, who had been silently floating, suddenly moved a finger slightly!

The Chaos Emperor Mark on his brow suddenly lit up with an almost imperceptible glow! It was as if the Chaos that had slumbered for eons was finally about to awaken again!

(In the next chapter, Xiao Chen is about to awaken and undergo a new transformation, but the shadow of the enemy from beyond the border has already enveloped the entire world. The final decisive battle is about to begin!)
