Chapter 673: Sect Inheritance, Void Qing's Last Words
In an instant, Liu Yu scanned with his spiritual consciousness.
The aftereffects of burning the golden core source, combined with the injuries caused by the gray sword shadow, erupted simultaneously, delivering a significant blow to Void Qing.
From the time of the gray sword shadow's strike to the slaying of Dao One's Saint Son, approximately thirty breaths had already passed.
Yet this person remained seated, meditating and adjusting his breath, indicating that his injuries had not yet stabilized.
Void Qing's face was pale, his aura fluctuating erratically, and his spiritual pressure had already dropped to the level of a Golden Core Early Stage cultivator.
However, the injuries had not stabilized, and the downward trend showed no signs of stopping.
There was a possibility of the golden core shattering, directly falling to the foundation establishment stage, and this possibility was not small.
This was the consequence of excessively burning the golden core source!
"This person should be beyond saving."
"Even if he stabilizes his realm and does not immediately fall to the foundation establishment stage, he has lost the potential for further advancement."
"The path to immortality ends here."
Seeing this scene, Liu Yu shook his head slightly.
With just a little analysis, he understood Void Qing's current state.
For any cultivator wishing to continue climbing the immortal path, this outcome was hard to accept.
It was even a hundred times more painful than dying outright.
Yet, although the golden core source was depleted, there were fourth-grade and fifth-grade miraculous elixirs that could restore it.
However, the damage left behind could never be completely compensated.
With a flawed golden core, how could one achieve fragmented core birth?
However, after the fierce battle with Dao One's Saint Son, Liu Yu's appearance wasn't looking too good either.
His bronzed skin was covered in bruises and bloodstains, and even with the powerful recovery ability of the star body, he could not heal immediately.
As the saying goes, when you kill a thousand enemies, you also harm yourself eight hundred; close combat was perilous, and it was hard for him to emerge unscathed.
After consecutive battles, his magical power had also dropped to around forty percent, nearing the critical line of thirty percent.
The smoke began to clear, and visibility gradually improved.
"Huff~"
Liu Yu took deep breaths, and once his condition stabilized a bit, he headed towards Void Qing.
The longer he waited, the more dreams he would have; he had to act immediately.
Whether it was the Golden Guard or Dao One's Saint Son, they definitely had something like a "soul lamp" that could confirm his life and death.
Especially with the fall of Dao One's Saint Son, considering the Saint Son's status in the holy land, it was possible that divine transformation stage cultivators were already involved; delaying further was not an option.
"And this storage bracelet is a ticking time bomb."
"Within it, there are likely items that can locate its position, guiding the Dao One Holy Land."
Thinking this, Liu Yu glanced at the exquisitely patterned purple storage bracelet on his finger.
If it weren't for the presence of others, he would have immediately stored it in the Immortal Abode.
"Step, step."
Clear footsteps resounded as Liu Yu strode forward, gradually appearing from the hazy dust.
"Step."
When he was within fifty zhang, he paused, about to speak.
However, unexpectedly, while performing healing exercises, Void Qing suddenly opened his eyes and attacked with his heavily injured body.
"Puh~"
A burst of green fire appeared; he opened his mouth and spat out a ball of azure yang devil fire, which instantly transformed into a sea of flames rushing towards Liu Yu.
However, without the enhancement of the Nine Palace Azure Yang Lamp, this fire's power was somewhat lacking, only equivalent to a second-grade spiritual fire.
An incomplete second-grade spiritual fire.
An attack of this level posed no threat to Liu Yu.
