Chapter 2217: Chapter 2217

Su Yang stood in the air, silently shedding tears, watching everything below return to the void. Those teachers, in the end, didn't even leave some remains.

The secret technique they cultivated was to shatter everything about them—their power, their soul, including their final flesh—only then could it have such might!

Everything returned to calm; Su Yang wanted to descend but was pulled back by Su Zhan.

"You can't go down!" Su Zhan looked at the endlessly changing basement below and said solemnly, "The space there has been blasted into countless pieces, and if you go down now, you'll easily get lost within."

Only then did Su Yang notice that the space below had indeed become very complex.

It's no wonder that those stone coffins appeared so distorted, as if unreal; this was the reason.

Su Yang took a deep breath, feeling extremely upset.

"Ah!" Xu Fenghou sighed and said in a low voice, "The dean and the others sacrificed themselves for a righteous cause, completing their thousands of years of mission."

Su Zhan also sighed, watching the basement below for a moment, and helplessly shook his head, "The power of this strike can at most keep the space here chaotic for three days; it will slowly recover. In other words, we have three more days. Well, let's continue trying to send people into the World Melting Furnace, as many as we can!"

Although Su Yang felt sorrowful in his heart, he had no choice but to face reality. The dean and the others indeed died in battle; there's no point in dwelling on it. Preserving power for the Human World is what matters most!

"Continue and find a place nearest to the World Melting Furnace and let the people there enter it!" Su Yang said in a deep voice.

No one disagreed; this was not the time to choose who should enter the World Melting Furnace, but to choose those closest. After all, with only three days, sending people from two cities into the World Melting Furnace would already be a good outcome.

Su Yang rushed into Storm Valley, retrieved the World Melting Furnace, and placed it in the closest city. Everyone else was ready and began sending people into it.

Su Yang stood beside, observing for a while, and felt his mood become more somber. After pondering for a long time, he flew back to the Capital City; he needed to ask the Martial Champion clearly to see if there was any way to change the situation in the Human World.

The Zhang Family had already closed off, but upon Su Yang's arrival, they opened the door and invited him in.

Arriving at Jieyue Tower, the Martial Champion still stood in the void. The injuries he previously suffered had now healed.

Su Yang directly recounted what happened at Qinghe Academy, and the Martial Champion sighed sadly after listening.

"In my life, not many people have I truly admired, but the dean is absolutely first!" the Martial Champion said softly.

What were those hundreds of years of guarding Jieyue Tower worth? The dean had the qualification to become a Saint, yet for the Human World, he suffered countless injuries, his cultivation halted, ultimately dying in battle for the Human World, leaving nothing behind—soul, bones—just this alone is enough to surpass countless people.

Su Yang nodded slowly, looking at the Martial Champion, "Senior Zhang, does the Human World really have no hope at all?"

The Martial Champion was silent for a while, then said softly, "If someone could reseal the eight Boundary Points, there would still be hope for the Human World!"

"What power is needed to accomplish that?" Su Yang asked eagerly.

The Martial Champion gazed at the horizon, remained silent for a long time, and finally uttered three words: "Ye Sword Saint!"

"Ye Sword Saint!?" Su Yang's eyes widened, could Ye Sword Saint achieve this?

"I'll go find him!" Su Yang declared immediately.

The Martial Champion looked at Su Yang and said softly, "You're going to find him? Where are you going to find him? The Endless Starry Sky? Ye Sword Saint went to the Fifth Region. How long can you survive there with your power? Even if you find him, then what? How long will it take you to find him, and how long can the Human World hold out?"

Su Yang suddenly went silent; although the people of Qinghe Academy fought for three more days for the Human World, it was only three days. After three days, what would happen to the Human World?

At that time, people from the Six Realms would crazily invade the Human World, unleashing even more frenzied slaughter.

And how long would it take Su Yang to find Ye Sword Saint in the Endless Starry Sky?

Not to mention the dangers Su Yang would encounter on the way, even if he could travel smoothly to the Fifth Region, it would take several months. During those months, the people from the Six Realms would have enough time to annihilate the entire Human World.

In such circumstances, what meaning is there in finding Ye Sword Saint?

"Then... isn't the Human World... completely finished?" Su Yang said in despair.

"Keep some hope alive," the Martial Champion said softly, "or else there might be a chance to rise again in the future!"

Su Yang's expression became bleak; keeping hope alive means giving up the remaining lives in the Human World. But how could he possibly do that?

"No matter what, I have to try!" Su Yang suddenly shouted.

The Martial Champion looked at Su Yang in surprise, unclear of his true intentions.

Su Yang didn't explain, swiftly hurried back. First went into the World Melting Furnace and summoned the three Crystal Skulls. Then, Su Yang found Su Zhan, asking him to follow the three Crystal Skulls to the Endless Starry Sky to find Ye Sword Saint and ask him to come back and help.

Su Zhan was confused by Su Yang's intentions and couldn't help but wonder, "Find Ye Sword Saint? Why aren't you going? You're more familiar with the Endless Starry Sky!"

Su Yang shook his head, "I can't go, I still have to place the World Melting Furnace in Storm Valley, no one else can do this task; I must!"

Ye Sword Saint hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly. As Su Yang said, only he could delve into Storm Valley.

Of course, the three Crystal Skulls could also do it, but these beings are unreliable and cannot be trusted.

"In that case, I'll take this journey!" Su Zhan looked at Su Yang and said suddenly, "Young man, don't show off, don't try to fight against the people from the Eight Realms. You alone are not their match, understood?"

"I understand!" Su Yang nodded forcefully, but he was already prepared in his heart.

This time, even if it means sacrificing his life, he would guard the basement. Even if he can only gain one more minute, he will never retreat.

If he can gain one more minute here, perhaps some lives in the Human World could survive!

He may not achieve what the dean and others did—to give everything for the Human World. However, he will never retreat, because he also walked out from Qinghe Academy. The legacy of the dean and the others must be carried on by him!
