Chapter 1010: End of His Life

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Ye Yikun, I don’t know where you got this reverse formation,” Ye Leng’an said, with restored spirit and a hint of sarcasm. “But did you know? In this formation, the weak feed the strong.”

“What do you mean?” Ye Yikun was secretly alarmed, resisting the formation draining his life force as he looked at Ye Leng’an. “Do you know something?”

He came across the ancient evil god’s reverse formation accidentally, initially disregarding it. But over time, as he aged and his progress stalled, he feared his life nearing its end. Determined to revive the Ye family’s glory, he delved into studying the reverse formation.

However, things changed dramatically at this crucial moment. Instead of absorbing Ye Leng’an’s life force as planned, he faced a dangerous situation.

“I don’t know anything.” Ye Leng’an seemed relaxed. “But it’s clear now that you’re at my mercy. How does it feel?”

As the restrictions lifted, she felt more at ease, absorbing Ye Yikun’s life force without restraint. Soon, all his life force would be hers. It was clear he was nearing the end of his life, evident from his involvement with such a sinister reverse formation.

Huangfu Ruiling observed the situation but refrained from immediate intervention. Despite Ye Leng’an seeming to have the upper hand, he knew her character. Unlike Ye Yikun, she didn’t resort to such methods to advance her cultivation. This situation might not even be advantageous for her.

He needed to destroy the formation swiftly to halt everything inside.

As Ye Yikun’s strength faded, the effects of Ye Leng’an’s life force disappeared, aging him. Just as he sensed his demise approaching, the pressure lifted, and his life force stopped draining.

Feeling relief, Ye Yikun noticed the formation’s white light had disappeared. Although the patterns remained, they were now inactive.

Looking at Huangfu Ruiling, fear filled his eyes. He had always known Huangfu Ruiling was powerful, but destroying such an ancient formation proved his underestimation. What kind of strength was this? And what was that powerful black Qi Huangfu Ruiling released earlier?

Confused and fearful, he regretted his actions towards Ye Leng’an and provoking Huangfu Ruiling.

“An’an, are you okay?” Huangfu Ruiling asked, focusing on Ye Leng’an. After checking her and finding no issues, he breathed a sigh of relief.

“I’m okay,” Ye Leng’an replied, her tone softer as she faced Huangfu Ruiling, dropping her earlier sarcasm. “But someone else might not feel the same.”

She looked at Ye Yikun nearby, his white hair and wrinkles giving off an aura of impending death.

Even in this condition, Ye Yikun couldn’t accept his failure. He had planned and worked hard, but now felt like a failure.

When Ye Hongxuan arrived, all he saw was his father’s weak state, hardly recognizable from the man he once knew.

Hurrying to his father’s side, Ye Hongxuan asked, “Father, are you okay?” He offered a healing pill.

Despite harboring resentment toward his father, seeing him in this state worried him deeply. His father had been his mentor all these years, shaping him into who he was.

Yet Ye Yikun declined the pill, aware it wouldn’t save him. Most of his life force was depleted; his body was nearing its end.

Seeing Ye Yikun’s expression, Ye Hongxuan became anxious. Unable to convince him otherwise, he proposed, “Then let me assist you inside to rest.”

As he checked his father’s body, Ye Hongxuan froze. His father’s condition was grave. He was nearing the end of his life.
