Bringing Chang'e along with him, Li Changsheng continued exploring the maze-like path, hoping to find some treasures stashed inside the ruins.
However, even after searching for a few hours, leaving no stone unturned, he still failed to get anything out of this journey, making him a little bit frustrated.
So, he couldn't help but try his luck and asked Chang'e, "Chang'e do you know where to find any treasure around here?"
Chang'e paused for a moment and shook her head before turning her attention back to her surroundings, quietly observing everything around her with eyes full of wonder like a newborn baby.
Getting no favorable answer from Chang'e, Li Changsheng wasn't that disappointed since he also didn't hold much expectation that Chang'e could provide him with any clue considering that she had just woken up from her long slumber.
He just wanted to test his luck while secretly making a careful observation of Chang'e to see if there was anything peculiar about her that might provide a clue about her true origin.
Unfortunately, he didn't get the desired result this time.
After another hour passed, Chang'e suddenly stopped, her gaze fixed on the wall next to her.
Seeing Chang'e behave strangely, Li Changsheng immediately asked, "Anything wrong?"
After a moment of silence, Chang'e finally turned to Li Changsheng, and instead of answering his question, she asked back, "Changsheng, what are you trying to find?"
"Well, any treasure, actually," Li Changsheng casually replied, then added, "But if I can, I hope to find the holy medicine that Song Yuxuang had mentioned before."
While exploring the ruin, Li Changsheng had told her about his three followers and what he had experienced before, so Chang'e knew what he was talking about.
She nodded and asked again, "Are you talking about the plant that has two legs and can freely move around?"
"A plant with two legs?" Li Changsheng's eyes lit up, eagerly asking for a follow-up. "Where have you seen it?"
Chang'e's delicate finger pointed out one section of the wall, which at first glance looked just like any other part of the wall.
Li Changsheng's eyes followed in that direction, and he suddenly frowned, his gazes shuffling back and forth between Chang'e and the wall, voicing out the question in his mind, "Are you sure that's the place?"
Chang'e nodded. "I'm sure."
Hearing the firmness in her sonorous voice, Li Changsheng's expression turned solemn.
If she was right, then the only reason he couldn't find the holy medicine despite his utmost effort exploring every corner of the ruins was because it was hiding in a place covered with a concealment formation.
He took a few glances at the wall before stepping back and making his preparations to break this formation.
"Chang'e, stand behind me." Li Changsheng motioned to her to move behind him.
Now that she was just an ordinary person whose strength might not be reaching that of an adult man, Li Changsheng was worried that she might be hurt by the impact of the upcoming collision.
Chang'e nodded and obediently stood behind him, her small hands reaching out to Li Changsheng and grabbing the corner of his clothes tightly like a child might grab their parent's sleeve in fear of getting lost in the crowd.
Although her instinct told her that she would be fine even without his protection, this little gesture brought her a sense of security that made her feel warm and comforted.
The corner of her lips tugged up slightly without her even noticing, blooming into a smile so lovely that it put even the most beautiful flowers to shame.
Li Changsheng might be standing awestruck if he witnessed this breathtaking scene; unfortunately though, all of his attention was focused on the wall in front of him, so he regretfully missed it.
He summoned the Ancient Desolate Demonic Saber out of his spatial ring and gripped it tightly in his hand.
Unlike his first time wielding this saber, his lifespan wasn't automatically absorbed by it; the cursed weapon wasn't any different than an ordinary weapon in Li Changsheng's hand.
The saber shook lightly and produced a soft humming sound like a dog wagging its tail before its master's presence.
"You greedy thing." Li Changsheng chuckled helplessly, watching the weapon eager to consume his wielder's lifespan like looking at a hopeless pet acting cute for food. "Then, eat. We have to work after you are filled."
The humming sound turned into buzzing as its trembling intensified. It started absorbing Li Changsheng's vitality greedily, like it was the most sumptuous delicacy in the world.
A bloody crimson aura started leaking out from its blade, killing intent aroused, and the pressure it exuded got stronger and stronger the more Li Changsheng's vitality burned out. The Ancient Desolate Demonic Saber had devoured almost a thousand years of his lifespan in an instant!
Li Changsheng knew that after absorbing so much lifespan, it was now ready to burst out with a power comparable to a killing strike from an early stage of the Dimension Sundering realm cultivator.
"I need more power!"
However, Li Changsheng didn't think it was enough to tear the formation apart, so he immediately activated the Bloody Berserk Forbidden Art and without hesitation burned his lifespan to his current limit—a thousand years of lifespan in one go!
His strength exploded, and his realm soared!
Profound Core, Purple Palace, Dimension Sundering…
The successive breakthroughs continued until his realm reached the Origin Returning realm!
Although it was just in his raw power, Li Changsheng undoubtedly reached the level of a Supreme!
His aura flared up like a violent storm, sending shockwaves through the air and causing the ground under his feet to quake violently. But he quickly restrained his aura, afraid that it would accidentally hurt Chang'e behind him.
He raised the saber in his hand and then swung it down in a single, decisive motion.
"Break!"
The next second, a terrifying Saber Qi was unleashed instantly, like a raging storm, sweeping across the entire space with domineering momentum!
The combination of his heightened strength and the power boost from Ancient Desolate Demonic Saber made this single strike comparable to the destructive power of a Supreme-level powerhouse's self-explosion, which was enough to bring down a small country and destroy everything in sight instantly.
——BOOOOM!!!
The Saber Qi crashed into the wall, causing an extremely terrifying movement.
The shock wave that erupted was also earth-shattering.
The entire space seemed to be trembling!
