In Qin Xiaowan’s current state, her baby would find it difficult to survive, even as a mortal.

Moreover, it wasn’t Qin Xiaowan’s situation that worried them the most at the moment, but rather the ancient cultivators possessed by extraterrestrial devils.

Considering the strength of these ancient cultivators, they would destroy the entire Lingxuan Continent in no time.

Everyone was speechless when they looked at the image inside the light beam of resurrection, including Su Qingyi and Mu Lingsha.

An absolute strength like that was intimidating.

“During that time, I was in closed-door cultivation, so I wasn’t aware of what was happening outside.” Su Qingyi sighed.

She spent most of her time waiting for her young master, cultivating behind closed doors, and rarely stepping outside despite having the longest lifespan of them all.

She was thus unaware of what was happening in the outside world.

Not to mention Mu Lingsha, who was still rebuilding her body at that time and who hadn’t yet been resurrected.

…

(Within the Light Beam of Resurrection)

Everyone on the Lingxuan continent was in despair after witnessing the fifth-generation Heavenly Emperor die in battle and the Bronze Gate fall from the sky.

It wasn’t just them; even those immortals who had survived, such as Lin Zhengyang, had gloomy faces.

Previously, the fifth generation Heavenly Emperor led them to seal the Traces of Heaven with the Bronze Gate.

It was a very different situation back then, both in terms of commitment and strength.

However, they were no match for the ancient cultivators possessed by extraterrestrial devils who had appeared above them.

In addition, less than half of their cultivators survived, and they had been severely injured.

Such circumstances rendered them powerless in the face of those ancient cultivators in the sky.

Lin Zhengyang and the others waited for death with faces filled with despair.

The ancient cultivators in the sky, however, didn’t bother to attack them.

Rather, their figures flickered across the Lingxian continent.

Long black nails covered each of their hands.

Their long nails were then shot throughout the Lingxian continent.

Within an hour, tens of thousands of these nails appeared throughout the Lingxuan continent.

In the process of nailing these nails to the ground, they diffused a black line that interconnected them.

In the end, a giant net was laid across the Lingxian continent.

A massive black net slowly enveloped most of the Lingxuan continent.

However, it didn’t cover the areas that were out of reach for the extra-terrestrial devils.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

This black net spread across the entire Lingxian continent. At the same time, an intense banging sound was emitted along with it as the entire Lingxian continent seemed to be struck by a refining hammer.

There were cracks in the ground on the Lingxuan continent as well.

There was a great deal of spiritual Qi extracted from the Spiritual Vein, which flew toward the Traces of Heaven in the sky.

The spiritual Qi of the Lingxuan Continent dropped by half in an instant.

Additionally, Lin Zhengyang and the other cultivators of the Immortal realm displayed painful expressions on their faces while the Spiritual Qi of the Lingxuan Continent weakened.

Suddenly, they lost most of their spiritual Qi, as well as their immortal Qi.

Lin Zhengyang, who was in the Late stages of the Immortal Realm, fell to the Early stages of the Immortal Realm and then to the Saint Realm in just a few days.

His situation was similar to that of all the Immortal Realm cultivators around him.

“It’s over.”

The immortal cultivators who survived, including Lin Zhengyang, turned pale.

As immortal cultivators, they understood why their realms had abruptly fallen.

The Lingxuan Continent was so dense with spiritual Qi in ancient times that it could nurture dozens or even hundreds of cultivators into the Eternal Realm.

But with the appearance of Traces of Heaven, the Spiritual Qi of the Lingxian Continent had been depleted.

As a result, the Lingxuan Continent could no longer produce Eternal Realm powerhouses, and the top cultivators were from the Immortal Realm, such as the Fifth Heavenly Emperor.

But now, the situation on the Lingxian Continent has become even worse.

Due to the enormous amount of Spiritual Qi being plucked from the spiritual vein, the Spiritual Qi of the Lingxuan Continent wasn’t even sufficient to cultivate to the Immortal Realm.

Lin Zhengyang and others feared that their cultivation base would continue to deteriorate if the Spiritual Qi density continued to decrease on the Lingxuan Continent.

The Lingxuan Continent would become a mere mortal world if all its Spiritual Qi disappeared completely.

With pale expressions, they stood, including Lin Zhengyang.

Finally, they understood why ancient cultivators possessed by extra-terrestrial devils hadn’t attacked them.

There was simply no need for it.

With them in the Saint Realm, they no longer pose any threat to the Traces of Heaven in the sky.

Furthermore, they were no longer a match for those low extra-terrestrial devils.

“The Lingxuan Continent …is finished.”

There was a look of despair on Lin Zhengyang’s and the others’ faces at this moment.

In the end, they were left with no choice but to await death.

“The baby … We must save our baby.”

When everyone was in despair, Lin Zhengyang suddenly heard Qin Xiaowan’s weak words.

Suddenly, his face changed, and he hurriedly looked at Qin Xiaowan.

Qin Xiaowan was already severely injured just now.

Now that her Realm had fallen from Immortal Realm to Sage Realm, she had suffered another severe injury to her dantian.

As a result of two heavy wounds in a short period of time, Qin Xiaowan’s face turned pale, and her breath became unsteady.

“Xiaowan, hold on, I’ll take you home.”

With Qin Xiaowan in this state, Lin Zhengyang disregarded everything and reached out to hug Qin Xiaowan, casually ripped open a spatial rift, and stepped into it.

The duo arrived at their residence.

As the Immortal realm powerhouses, they were highly regarded by the Fifth Generation Heavenly Emperor.

Their residence was close to the volcanic furnace.

Although the volcanic furnace was no longer present, many cultivators still lived nearby.

Qin Xiaowan and Lin Zhengyang were immortals, after all.

Therefore, their residence wasn’t comparable to that of ordinary cultivators.

Two caves with abundant spiritual Qi and a small mountain were nearby.

Lin Zhengyang brought Qin Xiaowan back here.

…

(At the Light Beam of Resurrection)

As Qin Xiaowan’s aura gradually weakened, Su Qingyi cried out anxiously, “Use spirit stones! Use spirit stones to temporarily boost the Spiritual Qi!”

Su Qingyi herself had experienced something similar.

When she was in closed cultivation, she suddenly felt the concentration of spiritual Qi in the outside world drop rapidly.

While she was on the verge of a breakthrough, she didn’t take it seriously as she had already received enough Heavenly Treasures from Lin Tian.

Those Heavenly Treasures alone were sufficient to supplement Su Qingyi’s cultivation.

She desperately gazed at the image within the light beam of resurrection, wishing she could go back in time and save Qin Xiaowan.

…

At this moment, however, the other cultivators on the Lingxuan Continent were stunned.

Their jaws dropped at the sight of the image in the light beam of resurrection.

The Spiritual Qi of the Lingxuan Continent had weakened to the point that even cultivators of the Immortal Realm couldn’t maintain their cultivation.

The situation back then was more challenging than the one they were in now.

It was impossible for them to imagine how their ancestors overcame such obstacles in such desperate times.

Furthermore, how had the Lingxuan Continent’s spiritual Qi been restored?
