Chapter 92 Chu Tian: "It's alright, I'm fine."

Chu Tian: "It's fine, I'm okay."

Watching Chu Tian, who was slumped on the ground laughing and crying, Bai Wei knitted her delicate brows, wondering what kind of madness had taken hold of him.

Chu Xuan smiled apologetically, looking extremely embarrassed. "Saint, Senior Sister Bai Wei, my brother's mind has been a bit off lately. Please forgive him…"

Bai Wei nodded, equally awkward.

"It's fine. Junior Sister Chu Xuan, if you have time in the future, you can bring your brother to Yunxiao Peak for a visit."

"My Revered Master is proficient in the art of Restrictions. It looks to me like your brother has been entangled by something unclean; perhaps my Revered Master can exorcise it for him."

Chu Tian, who had been sitting to the side with disheveled hair, suddenly stood up.

He looked as if he had lost his soul, muttering incoherently: "So I couldn't change anything…"

"Couldn't change anything…"

Chu Tian stumbled toward Bai Wei, fresh blood dripping from his fingers onto the ground with a pattering sound.

"Xiao Wei, I'm fine. Even if you have been defiled by others, I won't despise you."

Bai Wei's eyes turned cold.

If not for the fact that this person was Chu Xuan's own brother, she would have already slapped him into a pulp.

Lin Xiao stepped forward at the right moment, domineeringly shielding Bai Wei behind him while looking at Chu Tian with icy eyes.

Chu Xuan felt utterly humiliated and hurried forward to try and drag him away.

"Brother, stop making a scene! Come with me now!"

"Get lost!" Chu Tian's eyes were bloodshot as he violently waved his hand.

Caught off guard, Chu Xuan was directly knocked to the ground by this brute force.

But Chu Tian didn't even glance at her, staring fiercely at Bai Wei instead: "Xiao Wei, why…"

"Why are you hiding from me?"

Chu Tian's voice trembled with a yandere-like affection.

"I know that in this life, it wasn't your intention. It's all my fault for deceiving you with false information on the map, making you mistake it for a female Dragon, which led you into this predicament."

"I can pretend nothing ever happened. Come back to my side, okay?"

Hearing this, Bai Wei was stunned for a moment, then her willow-leaf brows stood upright, spiritual power surged violently around her, and her skirt fluttered loudly.

"So, all of this was arranged by you?" Bai Wei's voice was bone-chilling, carrying undisguised killing intent. "That map—you gave it to me on purpose?"

Chu Tian gave a foolish laugh, not avoiding the question at all.

"Yes."

"It was arranged by me."

"But man proposes, heaven disposes."

His laughter gradually faded, his face twisted, and his back teeth clicked together.

"But I didn't expect fate to play such a trick. The trap I painstakingly laid out ended up benefiting that bastard Lin Xiao!"

Chu Xuan was stunned.

She stared blankly at the man before her—someone both familiar and strange—and a sudden chill arose in her heart.

Although her brother was a bit brainless at times, he would never do such things.

Moreover, this was clearly her brother's first time entering Dragon Abyss. Why was he so familiar with this place, even going so far as to lay a trap to molest Senior Sister Bai Wei?

Although Chu Xuan guessed that the person before her might not be her brother, seeing the face she had accompanied for so many years, she ultimately couldn't bring herself to strike.

"Scum!"

Bai Wei had long since lost her patience and was about to attack immediately.

Just then, a sudden change occurred.

Chu Tian's Aura instantly soared, and a terrifying pressure far exceeding the Foundation Establishment Stage erupted from his withered body.

He pressed his two fingers together and pointed fiercely at Lin Xiao.

"Lin Xiao, go to hell!"

An extremely thin golden thread shot out from his fingertips!

Piercing Sun Golden Ray!

This was a top-tier killing secret technique he had mastered when he roamed the Immortal Realm in his past life.

With Chu Tian's current cultivation, he normally wouldn't be able to unleash it, but he possessed a secret art that could forcibly overdraw his Lifespan, which allowed him to execute it.

The golden ray broke through the air, silent and traceless, heading straight for the center of Lin Xiao's brow!

Neither Bai Wei nor Chu Xuan expected that Chu Tian, who was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, could launch such an eerie attack!

"Invincible Golden Body!"

When he came out of the stone chamber, Lin Xiao had already prepared defenses, but he had still underestimated a Reborn Immortal Emperor.

Facing this unavoidable attack, Lin Xiao decisively used the Invincible Golden Body.

Although he could sacrifice a small portion of his cultivation Realm to resurrect, he had worked day and night to attain this cultivation, so how could he bear to give it up so easily?

A layer of dazzling golden light instantly covered Lin Xiao's entire body.

His skin, hair, and even his robes turned golden at that moment, like a divine statue cast from pure gold, exuding an indestructible Aura from head to toe.

"Clang!"

The golden thread accurately struck the center of Lin Xiao's brow, then shattered inch by inch.

Yet, not even a white mark was left on Lin Xiao's brow.

Chu Tian's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

His attack, launched by exhausting ninety percent of his Lifespan, might not have been one-ten-thousandth of the power of this immortal technique, but it should have been more than enough to kill a Core Formation Cultivator.

Yet Lin Xiao had actually blocked it completely unscathed?

The backlash surged into his heart.

Chu Tian inwardly cursed, and just as he wanted to flee, a piercing pain suddenly struck his chest.

He looked down in a daze.

Within his field of vision, a blood-stained sword tip protruded from his chest, dripping blood.

This sword strike was calm and collected.

It was precisely his own younger sister, Chu Xuan, who had stabbed him.

Chu Tian opened his mouth, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

He turned his head with difficulty, looking at Chu Xuan's incredibly familiar, pretty face, and mumbled incoherently:

"Why… why?"

Chu Xuan gritted her teeth and forcefully pulled out the longsword.

Blood sprayed out.

Chu Xuan's eyes were bloodshot, and tears welled up in them.

She took two steps back, pointing the sword tip at the ground, her voice trembling:

"You… you are not my brother!"

"My brother is just stupid, but he is definitely not as bad as you!"

The moment her voice fell, the time limit for Lin Xiao's Invincible Golden Body expired. The golden Holy Light receded like the tide, and he returned to his white robes once more.

Losing support, Chu Tian fell heavily to the ground.

His hair, which had originally only been streaked with gray, turned snow-white inch by inch at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Wrinkles instantly crisscrossed his face, his skin became withered and loose, and his body rapidly hunched over.

In just a few short breaths, he transformed from a young man into a dying old man with one foot in the grave.

Chu Tian looked at Chu Xuan without refuting.

There was no resentment on his aged face; instead, a trace of relief appeared.

Recalling his past life, his sister was willing to erase her Divine Sense and transform into a sword spirit to accompany him in his conquests across the heavens.

That was the eternal pain in his heart.

Looking at his sister, who was trembling all over because of the sword strike she had just delivered, Chu Tian actually felt a sense of relief in his heart.

At the very least, in this life, he had seen his sister with a flesh-and-blood body once again.

In a sense, if he died here today, his sister would be able to escape the tragic fate of having her Divine Sense erased and being turned into an ice sword spirit in the past life.

To be able to die at his sister's hands, was that not also a form of liberation?

Chu Tian's eyes, which had originally been turbid and filled with violence, miraculously regained a trace of clarity in the final moment of his life.

He tremblingly raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, then laboriously looked up at Lin Xiao.

"Lin Xiao." Chu Tian panted heavily. "Can I… can I speak with you alone for a few words?"

Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded gently.

Bai Wei glanced at Chu Tian with a complex expression, then pulled the still-dazed Chu Xuan and silently retreated.

Lin Xiao casually cast a sound-isolating Restriction, paced over to stand before Chu Tian, and looked down at him from above.

"There's no need for begging nonsense."

"Between us, it was always a dead end; I absolutely cannot let you leave alive."

Chu Tian revealed a bitter smile.

He did not hope for Lin Xiao to spare him.

He only wanted to use his remaining value to exchange for his sister's safety and prosperity in this life.

Chu Tian took a deep breath and gasped as he spoke:

"Lin Xiao, let me tell you a secret."

"Actually, I am an Immortal Emperor Reborn. I am privy to various Opportunities in heaven and earth for the next five thousand years, and within my Sea of Consciousness, there is an ancient bronze mirror that can reverse time."

"I know you might find this absurd, but the words of a dying man are sincere."

"The true name of this Dragon Abyss is actually the Dragon-Trapping Abyss; it imprisons an Archaic True Dragon!"

Chu Tian stared intently at Lin Xiao, hoping to see a shocked expression, but there were no ripples in Lin Xiao's eyes.

"I believe you are an Immortal Emperor Reborn."

"However, I have a poor memory, so I might not remember what you say."

Lin Xiao leaned over slightly, extended his right hand, and hovered it over Chu Tian's head.

"Why don't you give up resisting and let me perform a soul search myself? That way, it will leave a deeper impression on me."
