139: No absence

Boom—

The smile on Chen Qingxuan's face turned into resolve, and without hesitation, he charged into the Void Fissure—

"Everyone, hear my command! Assist the Alliance Leader in breaking the deadlock!"

At this moment, both Lin Ya and Li Yan's aged eyes reddened, but their gazes were incomparably firm.

They were the first to erupt with the power within their bodies, roaring as they pushed that power into the Void Fissure along with Chen Qingxuan's figure... sparing no effort.

The others looked at each other and gradually followed suit.

Boom—

The earth within a thousand-mile radius trembled. Falling snowflakes melted from the heat before they could touch the ground, and even the ice layers accumulated over ten thousand years burst with spiderweb-like cracks.

At this moment, the ripples of vast power jointly erupted by the experts of both races made the entire Northern Abyss seem to turn into purgatory, with terrifying vortexes of power everywhere.

One terrifying vortex of power after another, like tributaries flowing into the sea, were all swallowed by the Void Fissure... Crack, crack—

A deafening explosion rang out.

In an instant, an invisible wave of Qi seemed to sweep across the Cangyun Continent, gently brushing past everyone's faces.

At the same time, the ice cage that had trapped the women... collapsed simultaneously.

"Revered Master."

"Brother!"

Having regained their freedom, Ji Qianyou and Jiang Susu wished they could immediately rush out to find Chen Qingxuan.

"Qian You, Susu, he consumed the lotus of life... listen to me." Although Ji Li's heart was also twisted with pain, Chen Qingxuan's instructions before leaving drove her to step forward.

At a time like this... she had to stabilize the situation.

Fortunately, besides her, Xuan Ling, Pei Qingli, and the others helped to soothe them, barely managing to hold back the agitated two women.

Only Luo Yin stared straight at the void, her phoenix eyes revealing disbelief. "Why... why hasn't it completely disappeared?"

"What did you say?"

Ji Li looked at her upon hearing this, feeling surprised.

Luo Yin turned to look at the women. "That rift hasn't been completely destroyed... it's still missing a little... Demon Lord Ji, look after Susu and the others."

Whoosh—

After saying that, before Ji Li could react, Luo Yin had already soared into the sky.

She flew straight toward the remaining Void Fissure!

"Senior Luo?"

Jiang Susu was greatly shocked.

Looking at the remaining traces of the rift in the void, they all realized what Luo Yin wanted to do.

However, Luo Yin's movements were too fast, giving them no chance to stop her, and... even if they did, it would be useless.

Now that it had come to this, the plan was only one step away... how could Luo Yin be willing to give up halfway?

Besides, she had long prepared herself to face death.

Boom—

In the next instant, another explosion sounded.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Luo Yin's figure disappeared, and the remaining rift in the void shrank again... but it still did not completely vanish.

"How can this be...?"

Ji Li's pupils trembled.

Looking at the remaining Void Fissure, although it was several times smaller than at the beginning, it clearly had not been thoroughly destroyed.

In other words... the plan had not succeeded even until this moment.

Even if Chen Qingxuan and Luo Yin had both thrown themselves in... the power was still not enough to completely annihilate the Void Fissure?

In the next moment, Ji Li's dilated pupils constricted. As if she had made a certain decision, she looked at Jiang Susu. "Susu... he will be resurrected... for his sake... take good care of Qian You for me."

Before Jiang Susu could speak;

Ji Qianyou immediately felt something was wrong upon hearing this. "Mother, what are you going to do?"

"Don't worry, Qian You... Mother also ate the lotus of life... when the time comes, I will return with your Revered Master."

Ji Li gave a gentle smile.

Although she hadn't eaten the lotus of life at all, she understood... if the Void Fissure could not be completely made to disappear, then before long, the entire Cangyun Continent, including her daughter;

Would all be doomed!

The enemies from the Three Thousand Divine Provinces were not something the Cangyun Continent could contend with even if united... the only way was to cut off their path!

Now that both Chen Qingxuan and Luo Yin had thrown themselves into the abyss, setting aside the fact that their sacrifices could not be in vain, even if it was just for her daughter, Xuan Ling, and other people she cared about;

She could not allow the plan to fail at the final step!

"Susu, stop Qian You for me."

Ji Li's tone was resolute.

With that, she flew straight toward the remaining Void Fissure with unstoppable momentum.

"Mother!"

Ji Qianyou immediately grew anxious.

But at this time, Jiang Susu grabbed her in a hug. "Don't be impulsive, Qian You... she said she ate the lotus of life... she will come back."

"Let me go..."

Ji Qianyou struggled.

Although she was not an unreasonable young girl, at this moment... she was still caught unprepared.

All of this... happened too fast.

"I won't let go!" Jiang Susu held Ji Qianyou tightly and said, "I admit she's the First Wife sister now... Sister told me to stop you... so I'm going to stop you... don't be impulsive, Qian You."

Bang—

Another explosion came from the void... Ji Li's figure also disappeared.

But different from the previous two times, the residual power of this explosion was not swallowed by the Void Fissure, but poured out from the top of the firmament... Rumble—

A terrifying shockwave rippled out, instantly knocking back countless experts of both races. Many people were sent flying like kites with broken strings.

At the same time;

The remaining rift in the void began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Quick, look... what is that?"

Xuan Ling cried out in alarm.

At this moment, her reddened beautiful eyes reflected the scene of the Void Fissure healing, and as the shockwave's power erupted, three clusters of light were ejected from the void... "Could they be... their remnant souls?"

Pei Qingli's beautiful eyes widened.

But in the next moment, she suddenly guessed something. "Oh no... their remnant souls seem to have no consciousness... quick, don't let them scatter."

"..."

Jiang Susu and Ji Qianyou also saw the remnant souls.

After hearing Pei Qingli's reminder, The two women instantly snapped out of it, but their hearts held no joy, only a sense of being at a loss.

“How... how do we collect remnant souls?”

"Quick, which of you has a Magical Artifact that can collect Souls... who has one?"

"..."

The women looked at each other, helpless for a moment.

Although they all had many Magical Artifacts on them and their own strength was not to be underestimated, no one had expected this kind of situation.

Therefore, they were completely unprepared!

Moreover, most Magical Artifacts in the world were used for combat or refining, and those that could affect the Soul were as rare as phoenix feathers. How could they produce one now?

Just as the women were about to seek help from the experts of the two races, Xuan Ling suddenly spoke, "Look... where are their remnant souls going?"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

Ji Qianyou and the other women quickly looked over.

The three clusters of light that were originally loose and disordered now seemed to be summoned by a certain force, flying orderly in a certain direction... and finally flew into a crystal-like bead.

Then, that bead, glowing with brilliant golden light, flew in front of a graceful figure that had appeared at some unknown time.

"Qingxue?"
