"Whew... I actually survived..."

At this moment, Chen Nan felt a sense of exhaustion. After all, the golden light just now was like the sky collapsing, leaving no room for resistance in his thoughts.

He knew that his survival under this power was due to the token he had picked up earlier, and he couldn't help feeling fortunate. Perhaps this token made the golden light see him as an ally rather than an intruder.

The four scoundrels, including the old beggar, were wiped out, paying the price for their greed.

Skeletons sat on the throne, but the overwhelming pressure they emitted was rapidly disappearing, like someone reaching the end of their life. The jade seal also lost its golden glow and fell dimly to the ground.

"Immortal Dynasty... Immortal Dynasty..."

The master of the Immortal Dynasty on the throne slowly extended his hand, seemingly trying to grasp the fading glory of the Immortal Dynasty, but ultimately turning to dust.

Rumble!

A loud noise came from outside the hall. At this moment, Zhong Ling also reached outside the hall, anxiously shouting, "Master, let's go quickly!"

Chen Nan turned his head to look at the throne and reached out to grab the broken jade seal that flew into his hand. With no time to examine it, he held the jade seal and fled the hall. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Upon seeing the violent tremors of the outside space, with space cracks almost tearing the relic apart, his heart felt heavy.

It seemed that the old beggar and the others, in their dying moments, had fully unleashed their cultivation, exceeding the relic space's limit, leading to the relic's collapse.

"Go!"

Chen Nan grabbed Zhong Ling, thunder spreading behind him and transforming into wings, with Seven Stars appearing beneath his feet. He suddenly transformed into a beam of light shooting towards the exit.

But the space was collapsing too quickly; even Chen Nan's incredible speed couldn't keep up.

As the exit loomed ahead, the space ahead suddenly collapsed, and everything turned into chaos in an instant!

"Master!"

...

Outside the relic, many cultivators fled in a panic, each shouting in horror, "It's collapsed, everything's collapsed!"

Chen Nan, who was meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. His shadow clone had collapsed in the relic along with his secret treasures, but he didn't feel sad; he could always search for them again.

But Zhong Ling was also inside, and he couldn't remain indifferent.

Seeing the city gate collapsing with a crash, everything before his eyes seemed to shrink into a vortex and then disappear, and Chen Nan's heart felt like it had been struck hard.

With the relic gone, seawater began to invade this space. Those cultivators, not having time to mourn, fled the scene, and it seemed that everything was buried in darkness.

"No!"

Chen Nan's heart-wrenching voice echoed, as the seabed seemed to erupt with a tsunami, countless seawater surging, and mighty waves rising out of the sea, thousands of meters away.

"Ling'er, I will definitely save you!"

He suddenly opened his right eye, with a misty white scene in his eyes. The space that had completely disappeared slowly cracked open before him, as if he could already see the relic buried by space.

But the power of space law was ultimately not a force he could control now. The crack before him was not sufficient to save Zhong Ling.

Even Gao Xue felt despair, watching Chen Nan's body unable to bear the forbidden power he was using, splitting open with numerous wounds, as if his body was about to be torn apart.

"Jue Mingzi, this isn't your fault, you mustn't get hurt!"

But Chen Nan seemed not to hear. He knew he had reached his limit, a deep unwillingness rising in his heart. Staring at the fine crack before him, he stepped forward abruptly.

"Open... for me!"

A blade tip suddenly flew out from him, the blade tip Chen Nan obtained before, faintly activated under his desperate burning of essence and lifespan.

The blade tip viciously sliced open the space crack, immediately tearing a huge opening in space, and Zhong Ling finally appeared before everyone's eyes.

With the shadow clone protecting her tightly, she had only passed out.

Gao Xue quickly flung a rope, wrapping it around Zhong Ling and pulling her and the shadow clone from the collapsing relic.

Unable to hold on any longer, Chen Nan spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed forward.

"Jue Mingzi!" Gao Xue wanted to check Chen Nan's condition but saw a shadow step forward directly, supporting Chen Nan and gently placing him on the ground.

At that moment, she realized the shadow clone's body was already tattered like a ragged cloth bag.

"Thankfully... alright..."

The clone could barely speak clearly but still squeezed out a smile, then returned as a black dot, flying back into Chen Nan's body.

The various treasures the clone took away also returned to Chen Nan's possession.

Finally, Gao Xue rushed over, dragging Chen Nan and Zhong Ling, swimming towards the surface of the sea.

He knew Chen Nan had offended a Nascent Soul Realm master, so he didn't dare return to Luoyue Island. Instead, he randomly found a cultivator market and rented a small courtyard.

"Master!"

On the bed, Zhong Ling suddenly awoke, her forehead covered in cold sweat. The doomsday scene of the relic's collapse had caused significant trauma to her heart.

With a creak, the door opened, Gao Xue walked briskly into the room. Seeing Zhong Ling awake, she was almost moved to tears: "You little girl, you're finally awake. You've slept for three days!"

"Three days?" Zhong Ling rubbed her head, remembered Chen Nan, and quickly asked, "Auntie Xue, where's my master?"

She only remembered her master escaping with her in the relics and protecting her with his life.

"Sigh." Gao Xue sighed, shaking her head: "Your master's injuries are very severe; he hasn't woken up yet."

Then she recounted the situation to Zhong Ling. Upon learning that her master desperately used the power of space law to bring her out of the collapsing relic, Zhong Ling couldn't stop crying.

She quickly ran to Chen Nan's room, saw him wrapped like a mummy, and immediately started crying as she fell onto him.

"Alright, why are you mourning like it's a funeral? Your master isn't dead yet; don't cry him to death."

Gao Xue helplessly walked forward, sighing: "Your master's injuries are too serious. I can't buy good elixir pills, but your master's body is very resilient, and his self-healing ability is even more formidable."

"Even if we do nothing, he'll recover in about a year or so."

Zhong Ling widened her eyes, "Are you speaking human language?"

"Auntie Xue, I have spirit stones; my master gave them to me. Please, get some good healing pills!"

She quickly opened her storage bag, taking out everything inside, leaving Gao Xue dumbfounded.

Top-grade spirit stones, seventh-rank spiritual artifacts, numerous talismans, and elixir pills—everything was there.

"Is this a storage bag? No, this is a mobile treasure trove."

"Is this what you and your master call poor? Do you both have a misunderstanding of poverty?"
