Chapter 612: Chapter 612 Why Live Forever? (2 more updates)

"No! How can my thousand-year plans come to naught so close to fruition?"

"I, I cannot accept this! Cannot accept it!——"

Emperor Tiance’s figure gradually became transparent, his strength rapidly ebbing away.

"Dead souls that have passed should rest beneath the earth, Emperor Tiance. You are too obsessed with eternal life!"

Ling Feng struggled to lift his hand, wiping the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth.

This was all within Ling Feng’s plans. When Emperor Tiance focused all his attention on him, Tuoba Yan had a slim chance to strike at Emperor Tiance’s true form.

Just severing the connection between Emperor Tiance and the Supreme Demon Sword was needed, then, Emperor Tiance would be beyond redemption.

In fact, the moment the Red Dust Heart Devouring Gu was undone, Tuoba Yan’s consciousness had already awakened. Ling Feng relayed his plan to her through Divine Sense Transmission.

However, Ling Feng did not hold much hope, yet unexpectedly, Tuoba Yan truly succeeded.

Emperor Tiance’s figure drifted before the Golden Dragon Chair and collapsed upon it, gently caressing the throne, his eyes filled with reluctance as he roared to the sky, "I, am an emperor unmatched throughout the ages! I, still want to build an everlasting empire! I, cannot accept this——"

"Emperor Tiance, why do you seek eternal life?"

Watching the somewhat desolate back of Emperor Tiance, Ling Feng couldn’t help but ask.

People cultivate, defying heaven to seize life, but what is the purpose of eternal life after all?

Emperor Tiance slowly turned his head, glancing at Ling Feng, and said with a cold smile, "All seek eternal life, and you ask me why? I, do not accept this destiny!"

"The dead have indeed passed away, while the living continue ceaselessly." Ling Feng’s eyes flashed with a hint of pity, "Emperor Tiance, I cannot judge the rights and wrongs of your life, but in those brief decades, you have already created a legend that will transcend generations. Your name can still be passed down forever."

"Those who lived in your era, even if they possessed longer lives, are now but mere skeletons. And how many among them can leave their names in history as you have? In the hearts of your posterity, you are already immortal!"

Ling Feng watched as Emperor Tiance’s figure became increasingly ethereal and shook his head, sighing, "Why then would you destroy that legend, destroy your former self?"

Emperor Tiance’s blood-filled eyes regained a hint of clarity, "I am already immortal?"

"Hahaha...." Emperor Tiance laughed heartily, looking to the heavens, "Unexpectedly, I have been taught by a junior?"

"Emperor Tiance, rest assured, whatever transpired within the Emperor Tomb, I will keep it sealed, and you will remain immortal."

Ling Feng gave a faint smile, the obsession with eternal life drove this great emperor mad, and the evil aura of the Demon Sword had led him astray to the demonic path. But in this final moment, he might truly be the real Emperor Tiance.

"Thank you!"

Emperor Tiance’s twisted face gradually softened, and with a wave of his hand, a burst of strength entered the body of the unconscious Tuoba Yan beside him, "This is what I owe her."

Ling Feng glanced at Tuoba Yan, just now she had been at death’s door, barely breathing, but now her breath finally stabilized, perhaps she had inherited something from Emperor Tiance.

"In the great hall, sealed within is ’Thirteen Heavenly Strategies’ that I have created. If you are interested, you can use the power of the Heavenly Strategy Treasure to break the seal and take it."

Upon finishing, Emperor Tiance’s gaze turned towards the sky, as if speaking in a dream, murmuring, "I, am too tired..."

Boom!

Finally, the last vestige of Emperor Tiance’s strength dispersed, his figure transforming into streams of nihility, vanishing into the void.

"Clang!"

The Supreme Demon Sword, standing upon the Array, fell to the ground, and with a several cracking sounds, it broke apart into pieces scattered all over.

"Ah..."

Ling Feng shook his head and sighed lightly, feeling a wave of weakness engulf him, and finally, he collapsed to the ground.

"This time, it really was a matter of life and death."

Ling Feng gave a bitter smile and laboriously took out some healing Elixirs to take. Under the strong Recovery Power of the Eight Desolate Body Forging Technique, his bodily wounds began to heal rapidly. However, the severe damage to his Divine Power would need some time to recover.

After a while, Ling Feng was able to resume normal movements. He took out the Golden Needle to temporarily suppress the injuries and then walked over to Tuoba Yan’s side.

After taking her pulse for a moment, he found that Tuoba Yan was essentially out of danger. It seemed that Emperor Tiance, having exhausted his last bit of strength, had somehow managed to bring this woman back from the brink of death at Ghost Gate.

"Cough cough..."

At this moment, Tuoba Yan suddenly opened her eyes and, seeing Ling Feng right before her, instinctively moved back, only to feel a tearing pain throughout her body. She bit her lip, her eyebrows lightly furrowed, and looked at Ling Feng, "Was it you who saved me?"

"It was Emperor Tiance who saved you."

Ling Feng shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently.

"First... ancestor?"

Tuoba Yan was stunned for a moment and then suddenly turned to look at the Golden Dragon Chair. However, the figure of Emperor Tiance was no longer there.

"No need to look anymore, he is probably truly ’dead’ now!"

Ling Feng touched his nose and said flatly, "In his final moments, his consciousness was finally awakened."

"Consciousness awakened?" Tuoba Yan looked at Ling Feng, "What do you mean?"

"That means the Emperor Tiance you saw was not really Emperor Tiance himself, but was controlled by the Demon Sword. None of that was his own will. In fact, after Emperor Tiance acquired the Demon Sword, he gradually lost control over his own heart, which led him to do those crazy things."

"However, in the last moments, his original consciousness was awakened and he used his last bit of strength to cure you and even left you the ’Thirteen Heavenly Strategies’."

Ling Feng pursed his lips and casually fabricated a benevolent lie.

Thus, that emperor from a thousand years ago still remained the hero and legend of the Sky Strategy Clan. In the hearts of his descendants, he would be immortalized forever.

"Really?" Tuoba Yan was somewhat excited and reflexively grabbed Ling Feng’s shoulders, shaking him vigorously.

The belief in her heart, which had been shattered, suddenly seemed to mend a bit.

"Of course it’s true, otherwise how do you think you would still be alive." Ling Feng frowned, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, stop shaking, you’re going to shake me apart."

Tuoba Yan then realized her misconduct, bit her lip, and resumed her usual cool and frosty demeanor, although her cheeks were slightly flushed.

This was probably the first time someone had seen her act so immaturely.

"You’re not very old, why do you always pretend to be indifferent about everything? To put it nicely, it’s called being aloof; to put it bluntly, it’s just putting on airs."

"You!" Tuoba Yan bit her red lips and let out a light snort, without saying a word.

Ling Feng shook his head with a smile, then slowly stood up and walked to the front of the Golden Dragon Chair, saying lightly, "According to Emperor Tiance, that ’Thirteen Heavenly Strategies’ of your Sky Strategy Clan should be right here."
