After repelling Ang Xiao, Lü Yang finally sat down in the Sea of Suffering. He re-entered a state of concealment, ready to face any new enemies at a moment's notice.
Fortunately, his luck was good.
Or rather, Progenitor Tingyou had acted quickly. If things had dragged on any longer, a new, powerful enemy might have been guided by karmic links to disrupt the proceedings.
But Progenitor Tingyou was simply too fast.
Before the Great Net of Karma Links could even react further to Ang Xiao being blocked, Progenitor Tingyou had already completed all the necessary steps.
BOOM!
At that moment, Lü Yang stood in the Sea of Suffering and looked up. He saw the Fruit of Sorrowless Heaven, wreathed in the Illusionary Colors of the Five Elements, beginning to look ethereal. It was as if it would undergo Ascension in the next second and reach a brand-new Realm, yet it was stuck at the final step, unable to advance even an inch.
"Alas..."
