Chapter 2186: Chapter 2186

"Devouring the World?" The people around were astonished. They all knew about the matter of "Devouring the World" and knew it was a secret technique of Su Yang's.

Moreover, the power of this secret technique is very strong, as they had all witnessed.

However, in this Demon Abyss, what is the relation between not having one's power drained by the abyss and "Devouring the World"?

"Why do you say that?" Su Yang hurriedly asked.

"I'll take you to the main hall later, and you'll understand!" Su Zhan said.

"The main hall?" Everyone glanced at the palace nearby. There was such a large palace there, yet Su Zhan chose to reside here. What was going on?

"Brother Lian, prepare some food for everyone first." Su Zhan said to Lian Wanxiong.

"Alright!" Lian Wanxiong immediately ran into the inner room, not long after, he came out with some food.

The dean and others were already starving. After their physical strength was drained, they had to rely on external sources to replenish what their bodies needed. For them now, being able to eat was crucial to survival.

Yet, the problem was, in that desolate valley, there was nothing at all, so naturally, there was no thought of eating.

The skeletons in the valley were not suppressed to death by the power here, but simply starved to death.

The dean and the rest, having lasted this long, had indeed endured great hardship. If no food was found, they would likely actually starve to death.

Lian Wanxiong distributed the food among everyone, and they devoured it ravenously.

Strangely enough, in this Demon Abyss, the spiritual energy of the food was not drained. Because of this, they were able to eat, otherwise, they would have surely starved to death.

After eating the food, everyone regained much of their spirit.

At this moment, Su Yang curiously asked, "By the way, where is Senior Huo?"

Upon hearing this, the others also looked towards Lian Wanxiong. Huo Yuanzhen had accompanied him, so why had no one seen Huo Yuanzhen?

Lian Wanxiong's expression was notably mournful, and Su Zhan sighed too as he looked at Lian Wanxiong without speaking.

Seeing such expressions, everyone had a feeling of foreboding in their hearts.

"What happened to Senior Huo?" Su Yang asked anxiously, "She...did something happen to her..."

"Alas!" Lian Wanxiong sighed, pointing to the straw hut beside them, and said in a low voice, "She's in there."

"In that hut?" The dean asked in wonder, "Why doesn't she come out?"

"She...she..." Lian Wanxiong's eyes reddened, and after a long pause, he whispered, "She...she can hardly stand up anymore..."

"Can't stand up? Why?" Everyone exclaimed in shock, Su Yang also anxiously said, "You cultivated 'Devouring the World', why can't Senior Huo cultivate it, too?"

"When we came down that day, Yuanzhen and I had been on top for too long, and our meridians were damaged. Here, our powers are suppressed, so even healing is impossible." Lian Wanxiong said solemnly, "My meridian damage was very severe then. I couldn't cultivate 'Devouring the World', and was in a coma when we came down. Yuanzhen...Yuanzhen had Brother Su perform surgery, using her meridians to mend mine. In the end, I could continue cultivating 'Devouring the World', while Yuanzhen...her cultivation has been completely ruined..."

"What!?" Everyone exclaimed, shocked that Huo Yuanzhen was actually ruined?

Su Yang couldn't help but recall that woman who looked exactly like Huo Qianfang, although century-old, she still retained a youthful heart. She had threatened Su Yang many times but also helped him many times. She was one of the few women Su Yang had seen who could be called a heroine.

Su Yang also knew that Huo Yuanzhen had placed all her feelings on Lian Wanxiong. He actually admired this heroic couple.

Finding Lian Wanxiong had given Su Yang some relief, feeling that he had found both him and Huo Yuanzhen.

Unexpectedly, the answer he received here was such. Huo Yuanzhen, her hundred-year cultivation gone in a day?

How could Huo Yuanzhen accept such a thing?

"How could this happen?" Su Yang looked at Su Zhan.

Su Zhan sighed and said softly, "At that time, the situation was extremely critical. Huo Yuanzhen threatened with her life for me to take her meridians and connect them for Brother Lian. I had no choice but to do it. Afterward, Brother Lian wanted to use his meridians to help Huo Yuanzhen rebuild hers, but it was impossible."

"For one thing, in this place, power is suppressed, and the meridian damage can't be healed. Their meridians were already extremely fragile, to transfer once was possible, but twice, I feared they both wouldn't survive. Moreover, Huo Yuanzhen's cultivation was already ruined. Even if the meridians were reconnected, without power restoration, she wouldn't be able to practice 'Devouring the World'. So ultimately, this couldn't be done!"

Lian Wanxiong sat dejectedly to the side, feeling the most pained in his heart. Huo Yuanzhen sacrificed everything to save him. The worst part was, he couldn't repay her but could only watch helplessly as she lay bedridden, the sorrow in his heart was beyond words.

Everyone finally understood the situation and couldn't help but sigh in regret.

They all knew about the relationship between Huo Yuanzhen and Lian Wanxiong, but never expected they would end up .

"Alas, what was once a beautiful immortal couple turned into this!" someone from Qinghe Academy sighed.

Others nodded in agreement. Huo Yuanzhen and Lian Wanxiong were watched by many at Qinghe Academy as they grew up. Furthermore, both were highly talented. Who would have thought, in the end, they would come to such an end.

"Is there no way to save her?" Su Yang hastily asked Su Zhan.

Su Zhan shook his head helplessly, "It's impossible."

"Impossible?" Su Yang was stunned, "Then... what if we take her out?"

Su Zhan thought for a moment and still shook his head, "Still impossible."

"Why?" Su Yang asked in bewilderment, "Repairing meridians, as long as there is enough power, and abundant spiritual energy, there should not be any problem. I have Spirit Liquid Essence, and there are many experts in the Human World, treating her injuries should not be a problem!"

"Originally it wouldn't be a problem..." Su Zhan sighed, "But not now."

"Why not?" Su Yang asked again, bewildered.

Su Zhan said, "Huo Yuanzhen's meridians are ruined, her hundred-year cultivation entirely wasted, it's like she's become an ordinary person, without even physical strength, entirely becoming a centenarian. In this valley, a centenarian trying to survive is simply impossible."
