The pressure exerted by the ethereal water here was incomparably terrifying; even Saint Tier Battle Armor were unable to withstand it.
The space within the Saint Tier Battle Armor collapsed, and the Saint Tier Battle Armor itself naturally collapsed as well.
Even Saint Tier Battle Armor were unable to resist the terrifying pressure of the ethereal water, let alone Xia Yilong.
The moment the Saint Tier Battle Armor crumbled, Xia Yilong's body began to quickly collapse. He only had time to let out a miserable scream that had already stopped abruptly.
"One Dragon Brother..." Ye Tian called out but he could only watch Xia Yilong's body being crushed into a bloody pulp.
That feeling of helplessness made Ye Tian feel extremely uncomfortable, but he was truly powerless.
The distance between the two was very close, but Xia Yilong was still unable to persevere on and was ultimately crushed into pieces by the ethereal water's terrifying pressure. In the end, he turned into blurry flesh and blood, quickly turning into nothingness, and became a part of the ethereal water.
Just like that, a living life was taken away, and he died in the midst of the ethereal water.
"There's not even a trace of life energy left. The pressure of the ethereal water is too terrifying. I never thought that I would still be unable to save it in the end!"
Ye Tian felt a little sad in his heart while he carried Xia Yilong within the Broken Sword Space. He recalled all the ethereal water at the spot where they had been crushed into nothingness.
He had originally wanted to bring away all these ethereal water that might contain the aura of Xia Yilong's death, then wait for his cultivation to become strong enough before thinking of a way to revive Xia Yilong.
Although Ye Tian did not have any confidence at all, he still wanted to give it a try.
However, the ethereal water was too strange. It could actually escape from the Broken Sword Space itself, as the Broken Sword Space was simply unable to contain its existence.
"The legend saying that the ethereal water is unable to be brought away is indeed true …"
Ye Tian could only sigh. He was unable to take away the ethereal water's water, and every time it was absorbed into his Broken Sword Space, the ethereal water would automatically disappear.
Ye Tian's heart was filled with sorrow, but there was nothing he could do.
Xia Yuqing died, killed by the Hellfire King, and Xia Yilong was also crushed to death by the ethereal water!
But for him, Ye Tian, there was simply nothing he could do.
Even if Ye Tian wanted to take revenge for Xia Yilong, the one who killed him was the Boundless Underworld Lake. Maybe the hidden pool of the Vast Expanse was not a living thing, it could not take revenge at all. Ye Tian could not do anything to it, nor could he do anything to it.
Furthermore, the cistern was terrifyingly powerful, so powerful that not even Paragons could climb it. In the end, they would fall into the depths of the cistern, and would be crushed to death by the terrifying pressure.
It was simply a pipe dream for Ye Tian to want to avenge Xia Yilong.
… ….
When Xia Yi Long died, Xia Wuji very quickly found out that Xia Yi Long's lamp had been extinguished too.
Ever since his precious daughter died, Xia Wuji, the master of Grand Xia Empire, had frequently paid attention to Xia Yilong's lantern. But today, what he did not expect, was that his lamp had actually been extinguished as well.
"... Xia Yilong, he actually died! Was the world that the Nine stages of life and death had connected to really this terrifying? Doesn't that mean that the snowy sky... And there was no way out? Maybe he was already dead! "This..."
When Xia Wuji thought of this, a great fear rose in his heart. Within this terror was the fear of the world which was connected to the end of Nine stages of life and death, and even more so the terror of Elder Chu, who was behind Ye Tian.
He swore that he would never tell Elder Chu this news, unless he discovered some clues. Furthermore, he believed that Elder Chu should have some kind of treasure like Ye Tian's soul jade talisman, which could prove that he was still alive.
As a result, as long as he did not say anything, Elder Chu would not know about this matter. He even started to suspect that it was Ye Tian who killed Xia Yilong and Xia Yuqing.
Since Elder Chu's disciple had killed the two absolute geniuses of their Grand Xia Empire, then there was no way for them to be kind anymore. It was very necessary for him to join forces with the existence of a sect's prestige, and even link it with their foundation.
Xia Wuji knew, as long as Elder Chu was not abnormal, it meant that he had not died yet.
But he felt that he was wrong, the relationship between Elder Chu and his sister was just like a friendship, it was even more impossible for Elder Chu to know whether Ye Tian was dead or alive.
He thought that as long as Elder Chu did not experience any special changes, Ye Tian would be fine. However, the longer Ye Tian lived, the more it proved that Ye Tian had killed the two Heaven's Pride members from Grand Xia Empire.
"He's gone too far, he's gone too far, my Grand Xia Empire has never suffered such grievances. Seven days later, if the snowy sky is still fine, then I must notify the ancestors of my decision, that I must not use any power behind him, no matter how big of a price I have to pay, to kill him to prove the inviolable might of my Grand Xia Empire." Xia Wuji was determined, he would make his decision after seven days.
He suspected that Ye Tian had killed two of their Grand Xia Empire's absolute geniuses, and one was even his own daughter. Even if the people behind Ye Tian were difficult to fight against, their background was extremely terrifying, and they had to pay a sufficient price.
"Perhaps, the Fu Family would be extremely interested in killing him …"
Xia Wuji thought of the Fu Family, and decided to cooperate with them to kill Elder Chu.
Of course, he was still in the middle of his plan. This would still depend on the outcome after seven days.
No one knew what Xia Yilong was scheming, and it was just that an unexplainable unease arose in Elder Chu's heart. He did not know where the uneasiness came from, but he also felt an indescribable sense of danger.
With his cultivation at Elder Chu's level, before danger arrived, he would naturally have a premonition. However, Elder Chu had thought of many things and felt that this uneasy premonition did not come from his main body, but instead came from Ye Tian.
"Could it be that something has happened to little friend Ye Tian? Why else would I feel uneasy? I hope that he will be safe and sound. I wonder what the situation is for the three of them right now! " Elder Chu's clone sat cross-legged inside the small secret realm that was outside of the Nine stages of life and death, looked at the Nine stages of life and death's entrance and muttered to himself. He had no idea that a conspiracy was about to arrive.
Once a super great power were to fight with an undying inheritance, even if Elder Chu had the cultivation of zhenren grade, he would probably not be able to do anything and would probably be killed.
Ye Tian was naturally unaware of the changes in the outside world, it was just that he was feeling extremely uneasy, and would even think about Elder Chu from time to time, but he did not care. He felt that with Elder Chu's high cultivation, he should not have any safety problems.
"Could it be the Rain Lotus …" Ye Tian did not wish to think further. Since Xia Yilong and Xia Yuqing had both died in this world, he really did not want to see anything happen to Xia Yuhe.
If something happened to Xia Yuhe, it would be hard for him to imagine how it would feel.
Ye Tian was still in the midst of his Broken Sword Space, and had not stopped moving. In the blink of an eye, seven days had already passed, but he was still far from reaching the shore of the Serene Lake, so the unease in his heart grew even stronger.
In the Vast Expanse Continent, within the Grand Xia Empire, Xia Wuji was finally certain that the two peerless geniuses in the Grand Xia Empire were killed by Ye Tian. He came to a secret location in the Grand Xia Empire and told them everything that had happened.
Also, at this time, Xia Wuji had been secretly cooperating with the Fu Family a long time ago, and together they had taken out a valuable treasure. They had personally invited the mysterious and unfathomably strong assassin organization in the Vast Expanse Continent, the Eighteen Hells …
