Emperor Wu gazed at the scene before him, his expression complex, and he sighed softly.
Too many had died in this battle.
Those of them who remained were also at the end of their strength.
The only reason they could still hold on was the power of the Divine Soul, barely keeping them alive.
As time passed and their souls weakened, gradually dissipating, they too would leave.
Chen Tang struggled to stand from the ruins, covered in blood and filth. Staggering, he approached Emperor Wu and the others, knelt down, and said hopefully, "Elder, there must still be a way, right?"
"Since you've already reached the Dharma Realm, your cultivation has broken through; how could your lifespan not have increased?"
Emperor Wu smiled faintly and said, "Back then, I went to Kunlun Mountain to challenge the Dao Sect precisely because I found, after entering the Transformation Realm, that my lifespan had not increased, and I sensed something unusual."
"The cage of heaven and earth!"
