Giggling sounds echoed in the air as many protectors and elders watched in horror as Protector Xuan Di was crushed to death.
"I just killed one of your supreme ones. This should bring a bit of hope to your Linyuan Sacred Gate. You are Elder Heavenly, right?"
Qin Chen looked at Elder Heavenly.
"You are quite insightful, understanding the situation and the bigger picture. However, your primordial essence has decayed, and your lifespan is nearing its end. Therefore, I shall grant you a fortuitous opportunity."
As his voice fell, a loud bang shook the surroundings. The primordial essence within the crushed Protector Xuan Di was suddenly drawn into the air by Qin Chen. Waves of dark flames erupted, engulfing it. Within these flames flowed an astonishing life energy, a dark primordial essence that rolled out.
This was Qin Chen channeling his dark king blood power to extract the lifespan of Protector Xuan Di.
However, such a method was invisible to the onlookers. If they had seen it, they would probably have been terrified to death.
"Go!"
Qin Chen waved his hand and roared. The primordial essence of Protector Xuan Di transformed into a roaring true dragon, instantly burrowing into Elder Heavenly's body.
"Ah!"
Elder Heavenly let out a roar, his entire body suspended in the air, as a massive surge of primordial essence erupted from within him.
His entire physique radiated with power, and the originally silver hair began to darken gradually. The wrinkles on his once elderly face vanished, instantly shining with youthful vigor, as if he had returned to his prime.
A terrifying aura emanated from his body, divine might overwhelming, as if he had been rejuvenated.
After a moment, Elder Heavenly descended from the air, the decayed and withered aura within him dissipating completely, replaced by a boundless vitality that surged forth naturally.
"My lifespan..."
Elder Heavenly felt the power within his body and could hardly believe his eyes.
Initially, he was a man on the brink of death; due to years of depletion, his primordial essence was in tatters, and he had been in a state of seclusion for years, only occasionally emerging for brief activities.
Only in seclusion could he slow the decay of his primordial essence and delay entering the five declines of heaven and man, allowing him to live a bit longer.
But now... Boom, boom, boom! Waves of vitality surged within him, and he felt as if he had instantly regained countless years of youth, filled with boundless energy.
Such a method was simply unheard of.
Not only he, but the Linyuan supreme and others nearby were also shaken to their core, unable to believe their eyes.
A person on the verge of death could have their lifespan replenished? What kind of technique was this?
If this were to spread, it would surely shock the world.
"Thank you, esteemed one."
Boom! Elder Heavenly knelt on one knee, cupping his hands in salute, his expression filled with excitement and tears welling in his eyes.
He was overwhelmed with emotion.
What Qin Chen had given him was not merely a span of longevity but also a new future.
With the remaining lifespan he had, he would have soon aged and derailed on this Black Jade Continent, but now... his future had brightened once more, and there was a chance he could return to the Dark Continent, back to his homeland.
What Qin Chen had granted him was a new lease on life.
"No need for excessive formalities; it is the nature of friends. I have always been generous, but as for enemies, I am never merciful."
Qin Chen spoke lightly and lifted Elder Heavenly back up.
Seeing Qin Chen's method, everyone from Linyuan Sacred Gate felt a tremor in their hearts, rendered speechless. Elder Thousand Eyes and Protector Xiu Yi were especially terrified, filled with dread.
They had previously joined Protector Xuan Di in confronting Sikong Zhen.
"Alright, Linyuan Supreme, those who should die have already met their end, and the chief villain has been eradicated. As for the others, I have no intention of pursuing further. Now, can we have a serious discussion?"
