The Most Powerful Bodyguard
Chapter 1217: Escape
At this moment, Yang Yan felt that the endpoint was so unattainable, the spiritual power within him was rapidly draining away.
What Yang Yan could confirm was that what had appeared at the end was indeed demonic aura, not evil aura.
Evil aura exists in everyone, but demonic aura can be identified as a distinguishable exclusive aura.
Therefore, it is very easy to determine whether it is evil aura or demonic aura.
Although Yang Yan recognized this demonic aura as identical to the one sensed during the previous Hidden World battle and from the puppets, he had no defense against these demonic auras.
He felt a lot of demonic aura piercing into his body, unable to resist, quickly succumbing.
At this moment, Yang Yan seemed utterly lifeless, his face ashen, his seven orifices were corroded into a dark black color, looking quite eerie.
The Void-Devouring Tiger Spirit beside him fared no better.
The light on its body nearly completely dissipated, leaving no trace of its aura.
Yang Yan abruptly heard the Void-Devouring Tiger Spirit’s voice explode in his mind: "What now? I truly have no solution, it’s all up to you now."
Yang Yan, with a bitter smile, replied: "If you hadn’t spoken, I would have thought you were already unconscious. I couldn’t sense your aura earlier."
The Void-Devouring Tiger Spirit urgently urged: "Hurry up and think of something! Now is not the time to worry about these."
Yang Yan shook his head, helplessly saying: "If I had a solution, wouldn’t I use it? I don’t want to die here either."
Afterward, he heard no further voice from the Void-Devouring Tiger Spirit, probably truly unconscious.
These demonic auras not only invaded Yang Yan’s body, but even his Divine Sense was not spared.
At this time, Yang Yan was completely unable to observe the surrounding situation, his consciousness gradually fading.
Just as his last Divine Sense was about to be engulfed, sudden star energy blossomed within Yang Yan, instantly dispersing the demonic auras inside and enhancing his strength significantly.
Simultaneously, the star energy transformed into ribbons, continuously circulating within Yang Yan’s meridians.
Not only did it repair all the corrosive leftover injuries, rejuvenating his entire body, but it also faintly illuminated a pathway.
Next, the star energy overflowed from his body, enveloping both man and tiger, quickly restoring their consciousness.
Just regaining awareness, Yang Yan heard the frightened shout of the Void-Devouring Tiger Spirit: "No way, did I already reach the afterlife this quickly? I really don’t want to die!"
Yang Yan smiled as he said: "Rest assured, we are still alive. Although I’m not clear what happened."
Initially intending to jest with the Void-Devouring Tiger Spirit, but he knew now was not the time.
"Really? I knew my fortune is great, won’t die that easily." The Void-Devouring Tiger Spirit exclaimed joyfully.
Yang Yan replied: "Yes! It seems to be something within my body. I feel the spiritual power inside is very abundant, almost overflowing."
The Void-Devouring Tiger even laughed excitedly: "I knew it, my eye for people is infallible. It seems following you from now on, there will be plenty of benefits."
Yang Yan said nothing more to the Void-Devouring Tiger Spirit, instead quickly calming his mind, silently sensing the changes within.
Confused, he only felt an immensely powerful spiritual power within surging, its momentum rising to a height he couldn’t even perceive.
In this brief time, he was utterly unafraid of the demonic aura.
"I seem to know what’s going on now."
Suddenly, Yang Yan thoughtfully muttered.
The star energy containing massive power was the Star King Crystal Core!
And this Star King Crystal Core would erupt, saving Yang Yan’s life when he was on the brink of death.
Star System Energy provided limitless support for Yang Yan’s cultivation, though it required him to actively extract and refine.
This counted as surviving the calamity, his life spared.
Elated, Yang Yan immediately asked the Void-Devouring Tiger Spirit: "Can you still maintain the previous burst speed?"
The Void-Devouring Tiger Spirit immediately asserted: "That’s certainly not an issue. As long as there’s enough energy, maintaining it is no problem."
Without hesitation, Yang Yan said: "Now, I’ll continue to send energy to you. Next is up to you."
Then, he supplied energy to the Void-Devouring Tiger Spirit, both using great teamwork to charge outward.
With full burst, both man and beast ripped open the soon-to-disappear spatial fissure once more, successfully escaping.
In the next moment, the spatial passage, already riddled with holes, completely vanished, leaving only dense demonic aura in the void.
The rupture of the spatial passage greatly retaliated against the three Great Powers maintaining the barrier.
Originally, they intended to leave, but upon sensing the anomaly within the spatial passage, they had no choice but to stay and maintain the barrier.
At this moment, they were very worried whether Yang Yan and the Void-Devouring Tiger Spirit managed to escape alive.
Fu Xi spoke first: "It shouldn’t be! What exactly went wrong? Can’t figure it out! Can’t figure it out..."
Pulao took over, ponderously saying: "According to reason, with our cultivation and understanding of the Path of Space, this time shouldn’t have had any issues."
As soon as Pulao finished speaking, Fu Xi suddenly said: "Everything was normal at first, it’s only when we intended to leave, something went wrong inside."
"Moreover, I felt interference during our efforts to maintain the spatial passage, causing the maintenance to fail and ultimately resulting in retaliatory damage."
Fu Xi contemplated for a moment, straightforwardly sharing his guess: "Could they have encountered a spatial storm? I think only such rare anomalies could cause the spatial passage to collapse so thoroughly."
"Seems we have a long way to go on the Path of Space. Alas! Now we can only hope Yang Yan and the others have good luck."
"Though that’s hard to say, given they’ve encountered even such an extremely rare anomaly as a spatial storm."
"As for interference against us, it’s uncertain if it’s the spatial spiritual treasure’s resistance or if a sinister presence here is obstructing us. Either way, it only shows the opponent’s strength is formidable, likely beyond our capability."
Pulao speculated suspiciously: "Is it possible the anomalies within the spatial passage were also caused by them? That would be terrifying."
Fu Xi shook his head: "I see that possibility as low, practically nonexistent. To cause such anomalies, how deep must their understanding of the Path of Space be!"
"The three of us have barely stepped into the threshold over these years; I believe there could be someone farther on this path than us here, but not this powerful."
"After all, this spatial spiritual treasure is space element. It’s fair to say someone here might have surpassed our understanding of the Path of Space."
"Honestly, the more I think, the more I believe this possibility really exists!"
"As for the suppressed evil aura, truthfully, we don’t understand it much either, it’s hard to say."
After Fu Xi finished, the three brothers fell silent for a while.
They were exhausted, only able to hope Yang Yan successfully escaped, unable to do anything about the rest.
