Grandpa Ju's eyes burst open, vein after vein of bloodshot spreading across them like a spider web.

Liang Yi's eyes flashed with a hint of worry. His right fingers trembled involuntarily, ready to force a stop to Grandpa Ju's actions if he showed any signs of being unable to hold on.

Now, Grandpa Ju's breath was like a roller coaster just starting to move, slowly climbing to the highest point before plummeting downward as if weightless.

At this moment, Grandpa Ju was really burning his Essence Blood. Once the Essence Blood was completely burnt out, what would be devoured next would be Grandpa Ju's Life Force!

Seeing that Grandpa Ju's breath was about to bottom out, Liang Yi's feet started to jitter anxiously.

"No, if we keep going like this you'll be the first to give out. Let's try again next time!"

A glint of sharpness passed through Liang Yi's eyes. The Disruption Domain had already formed a universe within his body; he could silence Grandpa Ju in an instant by releasing it. Even though this would cause certain injuries, it was still better than damaging the Dao Foundation lightly or losing one's life at worst.

He Zhiqing and Ke Meng Zhan, standing by the side, were also solemn, fixated on Grandpa Ju. Once Liang Yi made a move, they would act as well, striving to minimize Grandpa Ju's losses!

Just as Liang Yi could no longer hold back, the light of myriad stars in Grandpa Ju's eyes disappeared. Instead, a splendid rosy glow like glazed glass emerged at the tip of Grandpa Ju's fingers and touched a certain point on the map.

After doing this, Grandpa Ju could no longer hold on and softly fell from midair, the map in front of him drifting to the ground as it lost support under the pull of gravity.

Liang Yi didn't bother with the map; he caught Grandpa Ju in his arms with a backhand and quickly checked his condition.

"How is he?"

He Zhiqing and Ke Meng Zhan hurried over with concern, their bottles and pots filled with various rare elixirs, clearly prepared to stuff them into Grandpa Ju at a moment's notice.

"Still okay, he just expended some Essence Blood. Some rest should suffice."

After a long and careful investigation of Grandpa Ju's body, Liang Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief, the frown in his brow easing.

"That's good. Why didn't you give us a heads-up and scare us like that!"

Hearing that Grandpa Ju was alright, He Zhiqing and Ke Meng Zhan, who had been worried and tense, also relaxed.

Since they had come together, they were now a team. If there was an issue, they would figure it out together. It wasn't right to let one person bear the burden alone.

"He Zhiqing, see where the Heavenly Vein Spirit Core is?"

Liang Yi fed Grandpa Ju the special Spirit Pill from Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool handed over by Ke Meng Zhan, and only after seeing that Grandpa Ju's condition gradually improved did he turn to He Zhiqing.

"Oh, let me check."

He Zhiqing leaned down to pick up the map that had fallen to the ground, lowering his head to see where exactly Grandpa Ju had marked.

"Hmm?"

But when He Zhiqing saw that mark on the map, his expression changed, and his face turned rather unpleasant.

"What's wrong?"

Sensing the change in He Zhiqing's expression, Ke Meng Zhan was also puzzled and leaned in.

"Why is it here!"

Ke Meng Zhan was shocked as well.

"Where is it?"

Liang Yi was furious, thinking the two were joking around.

"Beside the Waters of Beisheng Domain in the Extreme East, the place where the Devouring Spirit Sect resides."

He Zhiqing rubbed his temple with some headache, flipping the map and showing Liang Yi the marked side while speaking.
