Hearing those words, Li Feng hesitated for a brief mont.
To be honest, he wasn’t sure about trusting an unknown voice that just appear out of nowhere.
But so far... this voice seem to be helping him.
After a mont of thought, Li Feng then gritted his teeth.
No matter what, he had already planned to feed Yue Lan the pill anyway.
Without wasting another second, he took out a small purple pill that exuded an ancient, profound aura.
He stepped forward.
The mont he approached the cocoon, it reacted.
A thin layer of frost peeled back smoothly, opening just enough... as if welcoming the pill.
Li Feng’s eyes flickered as his gaze dropped to Yue Lan, who lay encased within the slowly forming cocoon of frost-light.
He stared at that beautiful face as if she was just sleeping.
"..."
Trusting his instincts, he gently pushed the pill between her soft, slightly parted lips.
For a heartbeat, nothing happened.
Then—
HUMMMMM!!!
The cocoon exploded with brilliant light.
Li Feng’s eyes widened as a violent surge of energy erupted from Yue Lan’s body, forcing him to take half a step back.
The frost-blue cocoon trembled violently... then stabilized.
But now it had completely transford into a solid ice cocoon.
And he could no longer see inside.
[...Good...]
The woman’s voice returned, softer now, but laced with clear relief.
[...Ice preserves her soul... Nirvana rekindles it...]
[...Two origins... converging... She will not die...]
Li Feng let out a deep sigh of relief.
It seed that whatever was happening, Yue Lan had a real chance of surviving.
But then the voice suddenly turned urgent once more.
[...He is coming..! Please make sure... he doesn’t interrupt her rebirth!]
"He?"
Li Feng had heard that ntioned before from this strange won voice, but who exactly was "he"?
Before he could ask the voice for more details—
Then—
CRRRRRAAAACK!!!
CRRRRRAAAACK!!!
CRRRRRAAAACK!!!
CRRRRRAAAACK!!!
A sound split the sky.
It wasn’t thunder or an explosion.
It sounded more like ancient chains shattering... as if sothing that had been bound for countless years was finally breaking free.
[...No...]
The woman’s voice trembled for the first ti.
[...He has broken through the seal...]
At her words, Li Feng’s head snapped upward and there...high above...
The sky was breaking.
His pupils shrank at the sight.
At first, it looked like a ripple then it tore open.
CRRRRRAAAACK!!!
Cracked fractures spread across the heavens like shattered glass, along with the black void seeping through the gaps.
And from within that distortion...
...A silhouette erged.
"A... tower?"
Li Feng murmured in disbelief as he saw that huge inverted tower that hung in the sky, its peak pointing downward while its base vanished into the broken heavens above.
It didn’t descend imdiately as it simply... hung there for a single breath.
As if reality itself was struggling to bear its weight.
Then... It fell.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
The air scread.
The clouds were obliterated in an instant as the colossal tower descended, dragging with it a crushing pressure that made the entire battlefield tremble violently.
Li Feng’s expression darkened.
"...You’ve got to be kidding ."
The ground beneath his feet cracked further, unable to withstand the overwhelming force pressing down from above.
But then he hurriedly scanned the area and look at the injured disciples... and especially at his won.
They wouldn’t survive if that tower hit.
Gritting his teeth, Li Feng grabbed the Divine Brick and lifted it high.
"EVERYONE! DON’T RESIST!!"
His voice thundered across the battlefield.
The Divine Brick instantly sensed its master’s intention.
And a bright light burst forth from its surface, expanding outward in a shimring field.
One by one, the injured disciples were lifted into the air, drawn into the Divine Brick internal space like fragnts of light being pulled into a sanctuary.
Their bodies flickered and then vanished.
Soon—
BOOOOM!!!
The tower slamd into the ground with apocalyptic force.
The earth split apart in every direction.
Massive fissures tore through the land as violent shockwaves blasted outward, uprooting everything in their path and ...distant mountains crumbled as the entire forests were erased in an instant.
When the dust and debris finally settled, drifting through the air like ash after the end of the world...only one thing remained where the battlefield once stood.
...A colossal black tower.
Its surface was ancient, etched with faint, shifting patterns that seed to move.
It stood unnaturally still, yet radiated a presence so vast it felt like it was pressing down on the entire world.

Inside the black tower,
Li Feng cautiously opened his eyes and realized the scenery had completely changed.
"...What?"
It was no longer the forest they had been in... Only an endless, dim expanse stretched before him.
Ripple...
The ground beneath his feet was smooth and dark, almost like polished obsidian, yet faint ripples occasionally moved across its surface, as if it wasn’t entirely solid.
And above him, there was no ceiling... only darkness.
"...So this is inside the tower," Li Feng muttered.
At the sa tis, he couldn’t help but recall that short conversation he had with that mystery voice just now, especially after what he had seen in those future vision...
’...Tch, I got no other choice.’
Then he look at the Divine Brick that hovered beside him, clearly on guard.
Even it seed to feel the oppressive pressure in this place.
Behind Li Feng floated the ice-white cocoon.
He let out a sigh of relief when he saw it was completely unhard.
He had tried to store it earlier, but for so reason he couldn’t.
For a mont he had feared the tower would destroy the cocoon... but it seed the tower had chosen to swallow both of them instead of crushing them.
Then, the Divine Brick-no, Little Ling sent him a ssage.
"Hmm? There are actually demonic disciples inside?"
Li Feng frowned.
It seed so of them had sensed the threat of the falling tower and used the chaos to slip inside.
With a cold sneer, he instructed Little Ling to lock all of them up in the underground prison and he would deal with them later.
Li Feng exhaled faintly and turned forward again, his eyes sharpening as in the distance... sothing stood up.
And the mont he recognize who it was, Li Feng’s eyes widened in disbelief.
"...How are you still alive?"
There, standing a short distance away from him, was Yan Moxuan.
Or rather... the lower half of his body.
His upper body had been completely pulverized by Li Feng’s earlier strike, yet the remaining half now stood upright on its own.
