He’s Back!

Emperor Sheng Yuan shouted.

The blood instantly disappeared, as if it was absorbed by something. In an instant, a red light shot out from the gem and surrounded her.

A huge force surged out of the ruby and entered Emperor Sheng Yuan’s body. Her face was pale and filled with pain. With her current cultivation, she could not withstand so much force.

The power rampaged through her body and continuously absorbed everything. Emperor Sheng Yuan could clearly feel her life force quickly being consumed. In the blink of an eye, half of her black hair turned into white, making her look somehow like a demon.

It turned out that this ruby carried an enormous secret force.

It was said that the founding emperor gathered powerful martial artists and blacksmiths to create this ruby to ensure that the dynasty would be passed down forever.

Sealed in it was a powerful artifact called “Heaven and Earth”. It had the power to reverse anything. This artifact was extremely lethal and could be said to be a divine artifact that had kept the dynasty safe for centuries.

In order to prevent it falling into the hands of those with ill intentions, only the emperor knew the secret and method of activation.

Once this artifact was activated, it would cost the user a lot of lifespan, and it was almost irreversible and the activation unstoppable. This was Emperor Sheng Yuan’s trump card.

At this point, there was nothing else she could do. In order to resist the rebels, she could only activate “Heaven and Earth”, even if she had to sacrifice her lifespan.

“What are you doing?”

The sudden voice shocked Emperor Sheng Yuan. She did not notice that there were others around her.

She said warily, “Who is it?”

A tall figure slowly came out of the shadow. It was Lin Ran, who had disguised herself as the Sword God and gone to the north!

“Why are you here?”

Emperor Sheng Yuan was both surprised and happy. Seeing that Lin Ran was still alive and safe, for some reason, she felt relieved, even though she had many questions.

Why wasn’t Lin Ran on the Northern Border? Why was he able to rush back so quickly? Why was he able to break through the encirclement of the rebels? However, these questions were not important.

Only she wanted to say was. “Thank God, you’re safe.”

Although Emperor Sheng Yuan had a lot to say, this was not a good time to talk.

The rays of light emitted by the ruby connected to Emperor Sheng Yuan like a huge net.

Her vitality was draining rapidly. If this went on, she would probably be severely injured and her life would be in danger.

Lin Ran’s gaze landed on the necklace in Emperor Sheng Yuan’s hand. “I didn’t expect it to be an artifact. Interesting.”

It was not surprising that he did not notice it. After all, this ruby could only be activated with the current emperor’s blood and when it wasn’t activated, it was nothing more than an ordinary gem.

Lin Ran waved his hand, and the ruby light quickly dimmed down.

A sharp sword energy shot out from his fingertips, turning into thousands of sword beams that cut off the connection between Emperor Sheng Yuan and the ruby.

Fortunately, Emperor Sheng Yuan was not injured at all, and all the life force that was absorbed returned to her body.

Emperor Sheng Yuan did not know what had just happened. The fatigue and weakness she felt previously were gone, replaced by a refreshness that felt like she had just come out of a nice bath. Her hair also turned back to black.

She looked at Lin Ran in disbelief and was dumbfounded. “What just happened?”

The ruby necklace had already returned to its original dormant state. It was as if what happened just now was just her illusion. Since childhood, she had been told repeatedly that once ‘Heaven and Earth’ was activated, it could not be stopped.

His father would never lie to her. Therefore, unless it was a must, she wouldn’t resort to the ruby.

However, Lin Han, with a light wave of his hand, could tame the ruby and cancel the activation.

Was this so-called divine artifact a fake?

Looking at Lin Ran’s calm face, Emperor Sheng Yuan had a complicated feeling.

She stammered, “This is a divine artifact. It can’t be stopped once it is activated…”

To others, it was impossible, but to Lin Ran, it was easy. He was now a ninth-level senior grandmaster, but Emperor Sheng Yuan did not know about it.

Lin Ran couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows. “A divine artifact?”

His tone was calm and flat, and Emperor Sheng Yuan was struck by the ridiculous thought that this divine artifact might be fake.

However, the powerful energy that came out of it just now could not be faked. Moreover, her vitality and life force were being drained.

Not only was Lin Ran able to stop the activation, but he was also able to reverse the situation. How terrifying was his cultivation and strength?

Emperor Sheng Yuan quickly realized that it was not that the divine artifact was fake, but that the person in front of her was powerful!

The huge amount of information stunned Emperor Sheng Yuan for a long time. Lin Ran still had the same face, but she suddenly found him unrecognizable. She pursed her lips and wanted to say something.

“I already know about the rebels. With me here, you need not worry.”

He could tell that Emperor Sheng Yuan was packed with questions, but the most important thing now was to deal with the group of people outside.

Lin Ran already knew everything about the rebels.

Seeing that Lin Ran was about to go out, Emperor Sheng Yuan stopped him. “There are many people outside, and there is even a grandmaster among them. I’m afraid you’ll be in danger if you go alone.”

Facing Emperor Sheng Yuan’s worried gaze, Lin Ran gave her a reassuring smile. “Just wait for me here.”
