Chapter 120: The Dust Settles, Lin Sheng Exhausts His Origin
On the scorched earth of the Evil Demon Forest, the wind finally died down.
The crimson light and frost that filled the sky receded like the tide, leaving behind only a devastated landscape.
Sect Master Du Busi took a swift stride forward.
His figure was like lightning, but fortunately, Zhang Lexuan had already caught Lin Sheng.
"Lin Sheng..."
His large hands, resembling black jade, rested on Lin Sheng's pulse as a majestic yet gentle life energy quickly swept through Lin Sheng's nearly depleted Meridians.
A moment later...
Only then did the Body Sect Master let out a long sigh of relief, nodding to Zhang Lexuan, who was pale and covered in tears beside him.
"Rest assured, this child only fainted because of excessive Spiritual exhaustion, coupled with the complete depletion of his Soul Power."
Looking at Lin Sheng's brow, which remained tightly knit even in his deep sleep, Sect Master Du Busi couldn't help but let out a desolate sigh.
"It's too bitter... This child has lived too bitter a life."
"Over the past few years, hatred has been the only backbone supporting him to keep going. Now that his great vengeance has been exacted, I hope that this time, he can truly live for himself and truly let it go."
Zhang Lexuan knelt on the ground, reaching out a trembling hand to gently smooth the furrow in Lin Sheng's brow.
Her emotions were complicated to the extreme.
On one hand, she was happy that Lin Sheng's racial vengeance had been exacted; on the other hand, she grieved the fall of Xuan Zi.
He was a Shrek Elder whom she had respected for a long time.
From her standpoint, her feelings were ultimately complicated.
"..."
Sect Master Du Busi turned his head, his gaze sharp as a knife, sweeping over the Shrek Elders who were immersed in grief not far away.
Principal Yan Shaozhe patted the shoulder of Cai Meier, whose face was covered in tears beside him.
The Elders were carefully collecting the last of Xuan Zi's scattered, tattered clothes and his scattered Soul Bones.
Facing the oppressive gaze of the Body Sect Master, Principal Yan Shaozhe straightened his spine, but his eyes were filled with dead silence.
"Principal Yan Shaozhe."
Sect Master Du Busi spoke in a deep voice, his words echoing in the empty ruins.
Principal Yan Shaozhe looked up, his voice hoarse.
"Sect Master Du, what else do you have to teach us?"
"In my life, I have had many grievances with Shrek. After all, my elder brother fell because of Mu En."
Sect Master Du Busi fell silent for a moment, then waved his hand, a hint of unprecedented weariness appearing in his expression.
"But today, since he has atoned with his death, and considering that old fellow Mu En did indeed help Lin Sheng in the past, aiding him in Awakening his Origin..."
"On behalf of the Body Sect, I declare that from this day forward, all our past sordid accounts are wiped clean!"
Principal Yan Shaozhe was stunned for a moment, then closed his eyes with a complex expression and nodded.
Shrek had already lost Elder Mu and Elder Xuan, its two pillars of support, and was now at its weakest moment in history.
Sect Master Du Busi's words undoubtedly gave Shrek a precious chance to catch its breath.
...
"Senior Sister Le Xuan, come back to the academy with us."
Principal Yan Shaozhe looked at Zhang Lexuan, his eyes filled with an unquestionable determination.
"Now that Elder Mu and Elder Xuan have departed one after another, the entire Shrek is in unprecedented turmoil."
"You are Shrek's Senior Sister, the backbone of all the Inner Courtyard Disciples... At this time, the academy cannot do without you."
Zhang Lexuan's delicate body trembled.
She subconsciously gripped Lin Sheng's cold hand, her eyes filled with reluctance and hesitation.
She wanted to stay by his side.
She wanted to tell him the very moment he opened his eyes that everything was over.
"Go ahead."
Sect Master Du Busi was uncharacteristically gentle for once.
"Once this child, Lin Sheng, wakes up, he probably won't want to see you abandon Shrek for his sake. You are his companion, not his accessory."
Seeing that Zhang Lexuan was still hesitating,
Sect Master Du Busi added, "Rest assured, once this child recovers from his injuries, if he is willing, I will personally let him go to Shrek to find you."
"When that time comes, I will absolutely not stop him."
Zhang Lexuan took a deep breath. She stood up and bowed deeply to Sect Master Du Busi. "Thank you, Sect Master Du, for taking care of him."
With that, she took one last look at the sleeping, white-haired youth, turned resolutely, and followed Principal Yan Shaozhe and the others.
They turned into several beams of light and vanished into the horizon.
...
After Zhang Lexuan departed, Di Tian, who had been hiding his presence, quietly emerged.
His golden Dragon eyes stared at the slightly flickering Evil Pupil on Lin Sheng's forehead, a flash of admiration passing through his eyes.
"To forcefully unleash his own and the Evil Emperor's Origin in that state, this child's willpower is indeed astonishing."
"He has almost completely exhausted his own Origin, and this is now his weakest moment."
"Let's return to the Star Dou Great Forest."
Di Tian waved his large hand, and a spatial rift slowly tore open.
"The aura of the life Origin from the Lake of Life is of immense benefit to a body as overextended as his, and it will also allow the violent Pupillary Power in his Sea of Consciousness to completely settle down."
Sect Master Du Busi nodded.
As the Body Sect Master, he naturally knew what the Lake of Life represented.
Beside them, Qiu'er followed closely behind Sect Master Du Busi, her golden eyes never leaving Lin Sheng for a single moment.
"Lin Sheng..."
As the Imperial Auspicious Beast, the Power of Destiny within her was resonating violently due to Lin Sheng's unconsciousness.
In her perception,
Lin Sheng's current Soul was like a mirror covered in cracks; although he had exacted his revenge, he had also lost his most core driving force.
That loneliness and pain almost brought her to tears.
"Lin Sheng, please wake up..."
Qiu'er called out softly in her heart, tightly clutching the corner of her clothes.
The figures of the group instantly vanished into the spatial passage, leaving behind this Evil Demon Forest that had buried countless evils and hatreds.
"The Lake of Life will definitely heal you, Lin Sheng."
Qiu'er thought resolutely in her heart.
...
Not long after everyone departed, from the deepest part of the Evil Demon Forest, where the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult lay, a sharp shriek rang out, powerful enough to shatter the clouds and force all beasts to submit!
Boom!
Death God Douluo Ye Xishui's beautiful face was now completely distorted with rage as she looked at the Holy Spirit Altar, which had been reduced to ruins by Xuan Zi.
She looked at the elite cultists whose corpses littered the ground...
The killing intent in her heart had already condensed into a tangible, blood-colored storm.
"Shrek... Body Sect... Lin Sheng!"
The terrifying aura within Death God Douluo Ye Xishui erupted uncontrollably, blasting a giant boulder beside her into fine powder.
"What audacity! To kill my allies and destroy my Holy Cult—do you really think that with Di Tian protecting you, you can run rampant across the Douluo Continent?"
Death God Douluo Ye Xishui's voice, filled with Death Qi, echoed through the forest like the whispering of an evil spirit.
"I will make the entire Douluo Continent be buried alongside the losses of my Holy Spirit Cult! For all these grudges, I will personally strangle your Sects to death, one by one!"
Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao stood behind her.
Feeling that destructive aura on the verge of spiraling out of control, he only let out a long sigh.
"Alas..."
He knew that the fragile balance this continent had managed to maintain with great difficulty had completely collapsed after tonight.
"Xishui, I hope you do not walk to your doom... I can no longer persuade you to turn back."
