Slowly raising his left hand, a beam of blue light began to gather and compress on Light Shadow's left hand, then hidden into his palm. Light Shadow looked at Yi Tian, and there was no change in expression on his face hidden within the light; he had no expression at all. His left hand, palm open, was slowly descending toward Yi Tian's head. If nothing unexpected happened, this palm would strike, and Yi Tian would have his soul scattered and mind obliterated, completely vanishing in the world with no more pain to feel.

As Light Shadow's palm descended, the mighty pressure increased relentlessly, and Yi Tian had no chance to evade. He was firmly locked there, unable to move. Strangely, Yi Tian now had no thoughts at all; his mind was blank, and he felt that death would mean release. He just raised his head, watching as Light Shadow's hand pressed down toward his head. At this moment, Light Shadow's speed, fast enough to be horrifying, seemed to be as slow as eternity, making a century feel long.

Outside the Light Ball, the four, including Old Tian, noticed an expression of relief appearing on Yi Tian's face, causing an inexplicable chill in their hearts. Old Tian, especially, was desperately striking the Light Ball with his hands, trying to break through this layer of Light Screen. The relieved expression on Yi Tian's face reminded him of something extremely bad, and now the situation was too bizarre. Yi Tian clearly stood there without moving, yet inexplicably had blood pouring from all over his body, and now he suddenly kneeled down showing such a face.

The sound of banging continued to echo in this empty space. However, the Light Screen showed no cracks at all, and the light hadn't dimmed a bit. Instead, Old Tian's hands were full of fresh blood, with some wounds deep enough to reveal the white bones inside. Seeing the shocking wounds on Old Tian's hands, the other three couldn't help but take a deep breath. Others might not know the strength of Old Tian's body, but his companions who were with him every day knew it well; the previously appeared fractures were already considered extraordinary. Now Old Tian's hands exploded from striking the Light Ball, showcasing how terrifying the energy contained within must be.

"Damn it!" Old Tian roared, unable to gather his strength due to the wounds and pain in his hands. He could only roar in fury, trying to vent the frustration blocked in his chest. He had pinned too much hope on Yi Tian, originally thinking he could escape from this cage thanks to Yi Tian, but the result was just the same as before.

The other three also understood the resentment in Old Tian's heart, sharing the same thoughts. Seeing their greatest hope about to vanish, all three couldn't help but sigh. In the end, they still had no way to escape the cage trapping them.

Just when the four had faces full of grief and anger, the dazzling woman inside the Crystal Coffin closed her eyes gently, followed by an extremely subtle sound of two stone slabs rubbing against each other. The cover of the Crystal Coffin, which was previously well-covered, slid halfway aside, and then a clang sounded; the cover of the Crystal Coffin had fallen to the ground. Whether the cover was too hard or the ground too soft, such a large cover fell without breaking at all, while the ground had only a shallow pit from the impact.

As soon as the coffin cover opened, the woman, who had been lying with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes, and two shocking beams of blue light shot out from them. The blue light directly impacted the Light Sphere's screen, and with a crisp sound, the Light Screen shattered like glass. As the Light Screen shattered, Yi Tian, originally kneeling inside, let out a muffled hum and fell to the ground, emitting no further sound.

The four, who were originally full of grief and indignation, were startled but pleased, and were about to rush forward to inspect Yi Tian's condition. However, they saw the woman in the Crystal Coffin standing straight up, as if a board was tied to her back and someone forcibly pulled her up. The woman's face had no expression, only a pair of eyes flickering with faint blue light, occasionally emitting one or two beams of light from her eyes. The woman exuded a faint pressure, an unimaginable pressure akin to the vastness of the sea.

This pressure froze the movements of Old Tian and the other three who were just about to act, causing them to immediately kneel down, their bodies trembling involuntarily. A deep sense of fear and respect from the heart made them not dare to look up at the woman, instinctively feeling they should submit to her, although they couldn't figure out why.

The woman's expression remained unchanged, but the blue light in her eyes gradually condensed, revealing her bright star-like pupils. She glanced at the four kneeling on the ground and said, "Are you my guardians?" Her voice was as clear as a nightingale emerging from the valley, yet as elusive as clouds in the Nine Heavens, giving an unfathomable feeling.

Her gaze was gentle, as gentle as a mountain stream, but when she swept her gaze over Old Tian and the other three, it gave them an irresistible pressure.

The woman didn't seem to expect an answer from the four, for she felt clearly the connection with them since the moment she awoke. No matter how the world changes, this connection could never be erased. The woman then turned to look at Yi Tian, who lay on the ground, covered in blood and with his aura so weak it almost disappeared.

"Are you the one who awakened me?" The woman reached out her hand, and Yi Tian, covered in blood, was lifted from the ground. Then, with a light gesture from her left hand, a massive Water Ball suddenly appeared beside Yi Tian.

Using the Water Ball to wash away the blood on Yi Tian's body, it revealed him. No one could tell what method the woman used, but the shocking wounds on Yi Tian's body had disappeared entirely. However, once the blood was rinsed away, it revealed Yi Tian's unclothed body, with some areas showing faint silver patterns, flickering with weak Silver Light as if they might disappear at any moment.

The woman showed no discomfort at Yi Tian's nakedness; on the contrary, her expression was extremely indifferent, or rather, she had no change in expression at all. Even when she saw the silver patterns on Yi Tian's body, her expression remained unchanged, though her tone held a slight hint of surprise.

"I didn't expect someone to inherit the legacy of those old ones. No wonder you were able to awaken me." she said with a tone of slight surprise, her face nonchalant. She gave a slight shake of her hand, and Yi Tian, held by her, also wobbled slightly.

After giving Yi Tian a once-over, the woman spoke again: "It's a pity your strength is too weak, resorting to using such inferior methods to disperse your power. Well, you should wake up by now. To resist the projection of the Virtual Realm for so long, you're quite a remarkable little guy." With that, she condensed a Water Ball and splashed it on Yi Tian's face.

With a splash, water splattered everywhere. The originally weak-breathed Yi Tian gasped deeply, suddenly awakened, then fell to the ground, beginning to cough violently. Initially, some congealed blood clots were spat from his mouth, but eventually, nothing more came out. After a bout of violent coughing, Yi Tian began to gasp for air, as if trying to inhale all the surrounding air into his lungs at once.

Gradually, his breathing steadied, and his erratic heartbeat calmed, his wandering eyes slowly focusing. Until now, he still didn't understand what had happened to him. Wasn't Light Shadow's strike supposed to have completely destroyed him? Why could he still feel that he was alive? These questions hadn't found answers, leaving him dazed on the spot.
