"Senior brother, would you really waste your talent and strength rather than assist me?" Long Guangyi's voice carried a hint of disappointment, "You and that old man are both so stubborn. I will make you realize that what you cling to has no meaning in this dog-eat-dog Underworld!"

Liu Chengfeng gave a slight smile, offering no rebuttal.

Indeed, in this world where only the strong survive and the victor takes all, there are still those who persist in their convictions and moral principles, even after being defeated!

Liu Chengfeng now, and Long Guangyi twenty years ago, both exemplified this stance!

Liu Tingyu found it strange, her father had been wounded by Long Guangyi, yet now he was chatting and laughing with Long Guangyi as if nothing had happened, emanating an indescribable atmosphere devoid of any discord or tension.

"Men really are strange creatures," Liu Tingyu mused to herself.

Meanwhile, Ling Feng, trapped within the space created by the Xuanyuan Saint Emperor, was almost going insane!

Although he temporarily possessed the power bestowed upon him by the Holy Emperor, he could not break out of this confined space and could only continue to cultivate the three sword techniques ingrained in his mind by the Saint Emperor.

And the more he cultivated, the more Ling Feng could sense the overwhelming power of these three sword techniques.

Even the simplest God Annihilating Slash took Ling Feng tens of years to master. The more complex Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin Strike took him nearly a hundred years to grasp proficiently. However, the final Silent Obliteration of All Things remained elusive, no matter how hard he tried.

Without realizing it, Ling Feng had spent a full three hundred years in this space, dedicated solely to cultivation, to pondering over and executing sword techniques.

The silence of this space was like death, leaving Ling Feng unable to think of anything other than cultivation.

After the initial restlessness, anger, and helplessness, it took Ling Feng years to eventually calm his emotions and slowly come to terms with his reality.

"Perhaps by the time I get out, the outside world will have undergone dramatic changes," Ling Feng dared not imagine what would happen once he left.

"I have fully mastered God Annihilating Slash and Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin Strike!" Ling Feng spread his hands, his eyes showing a resolute light, "The only technique left is Silent Obliteration of All Things which I still have no clue about! But if…"

Thinking of the Silent Obliteration of All Things technique in his mind, Ling Feng couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh. After a century of practice, he had finally realized that executing this move was not as difficult as the other two. The critical point, however, was to use oneself as a sacrifice to draw upon the power of heaven and earth, inversely alter yin and yang, and return all things to chaos.

"No wonder the Holy Emperor could not manifest this technique. It's clearly a move that leads to mutual destruction!" Ling Feng thought to himself.

But Ling Feng did not know what would happen if he used this technique. He might break free from the constraints of this space, or as the sword technique suggested, he might dissolve into the void and chaos, completely vanishing from the world.

Faced with such a dilemma, even someone as resolute as Ling Feng hesitated for a moment.

"Ting Yu, Han Rui, Fei Fei…" Ling Feng's gaze was profound and affectionate. The reason he hadn't been driven mad in this closed space was entirely due to these women who supported him from the depths of his heart.

"Over three hundred years have already passed!" Ling Feng sighed, "They might have vanished a long time ago. What would be the point of emerging now?"

This worry had always been suppressed in the depths of Ling Feng's heart and was one of the reasons he couldn't make a decision.

If he really could leave this space, but if his beloved outside had already passed away, Ling Feng didn't know if he could bear such a blow!

He didn't know how much time had passed when Ling Feng's tightly closed eyes gradually opened, his gaze filled with vicissitudes as well as determination!

Hesitation is not in Ling Feng's nature; even if his beloved outside had already passed away, he must step out of here to verify it for himself.

"A true warrior dares to face the bleakness of life and confront the bloodshed head-on! I... I'm coming!" Ling Feng stretched out his hand, and a powerful force burst forth from within him. A beam of sword light emerged from his body, piercing through the dark clouds overhead and shattering the ground beneath his feet, as if cleaving the very heavens and earth apart with its brilliance.

Surrounded by a milky-white glow, Ling Feng's body began to blur, and at last enveloped in the white light, he vanished, fully merging into the sword light.

The radiance of the sword light intensified, seemingly resonating with Ling Feng's resolve to face death unflinchingly and his unyielding determination!

With a thunderous boom, the sword light scattered in all directions, and the elemental power within the space rapidly dissolved under its coverage, forming masses of chaotic and primordial energy.

As the sword light swept over distant areas, more and more primordial energy surged until a crackling sound was heard, as if the void itself broke apart, followed by a polar light descending from the sky, and the entire space shattered with the illumination of the light!

...

Meanwhile, at the Dragon Group, Long Guangyi and Liu Cheng Feng were in the midst of a conversation when a sharp Sword Qi emanated from Ling Feng's body, instantly shattering the Mysterious Ice Wall Long Guangyi had set up around them.

"This is bad!" Long Guangyi's face turned pale with shock, and he hurriedly prepared to intervene.

To Long Guangyi's surprise, however, the Sword Qi that appeared seemed to possess a consciousness of its own; after breaking the Mysterious Ice Wall, it didn't harm anyone else, but instead transformed into a sword dragon, roared, and then soared into the sky before vanishing!

Liu Cheng Feng's eyes held a trace of astonishment; although he had lost all his strength, his vision remained. The Sword Qi that had just appeared from Ling Feng was beyond even his peak capabilities to block!

"This kid... I thought I had set my expectations high enough, but I never imagined he would far exceed them," Liu Cheng Feng murmured to himself.

As the Sword Qi disappeared, Ling Feng's body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Ling Feng!" Liu Ting Yu rushed to help him but was stopped by Long Guangyi: "We don't know Ling Feng's condition yet, don't approach him just now, let me check!"

Saying this, Long Guangyi walked forward and crouched beside Ling Feng.

At that moment, Ling Feng was also slowly opening his eyes, and when he did, the first thing he saw was Long Guangyi's big face.

"Why am I even dreaming about Long Guangyi in a nightmare?" Ling Feng muttered to himself: "This must be an illusion, yes, definitely an illusion!"

Lines of frustration had already formed on Long Guangyi's forehead as he growled, "Ling Feng, if you don't get up, I'm going to be forced to pull down your trousers and spank you!"

Grinding his teeth, Long Guangyi spoke, feeling like he was about to explode with anger. He had been taking care of this troublesome kid for three days and nights, fearing some complication would arise; yet the first thing Ling Feng did upon seeing him was not to show any gratitude, but to think it was a nightmare, which was just too hurtful for Long Guangyi!
