"Ah!!!"

In that instant, the piercing screams were even more intense than during the soul search and shattering of memories, echoing from Su Han’s First Primordial Spirit.

The light on those God-devouring Insects faded, morphing into small, pitch-black shadows.

As they landed on Su Han, sharp teeth constantly gnawed, as if sucking Su Han’s flesh and blood.

It was a piercing pain!

Even with Su Han’s willpower, there was a moment when he truly wanted to directly self-destruct the First Primordial Spirit.

However, if the First Primordial Spirit really did self-destruct, it would have to be completely re-condensed from the beginning!

All of the Nine Great Physical Bodies crumbling was not significant for Su Han.

But the primordial spirit is different from the physical body; the physical body can be cultivated anew, whereas the primordial spirit, even if re-condensed, would be vastly different from now, possibly even damaging the foundation!

Previously, Su Han had already destroyed the First Primordial Spirit; unless he was dead, he would never allow the First Primordial Spirit to collapse a second time!

This is why he chose to endure the soul search and shattering of memory, and the pain and torment from the God-devouring Insects’ gnawing, without opting for self-destruction.

As long as one exists, as long as one is alive, then regardless of how great the pain, one can persist!

"Is it painful?"

Watching the fiercely struggling Su Han, the illusion figure sneered, "You brought this upon yourself! I could have given you a quick end, but you deliberately chose this instead!"

"If I survive, I will repay you a hundredfold and more!!!" Su Han roared.

"You can survive again..."

The illusion figure sneered disdainfully, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly turned his head towards the void.

"Hmm?"

Nothing appeared, but his face drastically changed, as if he had discovered something.

"Damn it!"

Cursing darkly, the illusion figure flipped his hand, a crystal stone appeared instantly.

He directly crushed the crystal stone!

"Bang!"

A dull sound echoed, as the crystal stone burst open, transforming into a vast array of light.

The light quickly coalesced into a teleportation formation, and in the instant it fully formed, the illusion figure immediately stepped forward, simultaneously collecting the God-devouring Insects, and made a grab for Su Han’s First Primordial Spirit.

"Dare you!!!"

At that moment, a shout exploded like thunder.

It transformed into sound waves, blasting apart the illusion figure’s hand with a bang!

"Pfft!"

Struck by this heavy blow, the illusion figure suddenly spat a mouthful of fresh blood, glanced at Su Han, hesitated slightly, but in the end gritted his teeth and dashed into the teleportation formation.

"Boom!"

After he entered, the teleportation formation instantly exploded, turning into light points, disappearing between Heaven and Earth.

It was only at this moment that a figure of a middle-aged man emerged swiftly from the distant clouds in the void.

It was Yuchi Tiannan!

Upon seeing Su Han’s nearly scattered primordial spirit, Yuchi Tiannan’s pupils contracted slightly.

"Scoundrel!!!"

With a wave of his hand, he grabbed Su Han, flipping his hand multiple pills appeared, entering Su Han’s mouth.

At the same time, the divine waves of his Dao Sovereign Realm transmitted from himself, assisting Su Han in swiftly refining these pills.

They weren’t precious pills, merely some Third-Grade Pills used to stabilize Su Han’s primordial spirit’s injuries.

As a super powerhouse of the Dao Sovereign Realm, Yuchi Tiannan could instantly discern what kind of torment Su Han’s First Primordial Spirit had suffered.

"Damned scoundrel!!!"

Yuchi Tiannan was furious at heart, gazing at the spot where the teleportation formation vanished, yet unable to do anything.

The opponent fled too quickly, and very decisively.

Realizing his arrival assured the impossibility of killing Su Han, the opponent resolutely fled despite the fear of punishment upon return, without a shred of hesitation.

Such thunderous action left Yuchi Tiannan, a mighty being at the Dao Sovereign Realm, with no recourse.

"How could he be so ruthless!!!"

Yuchi Tiannan sighed deeply, holding Su Han in his arms, taking out more pills.

After two hours, Su Han’s First Primordial Spirit finally gradually began to recover, and only then did Yuchi Tiannan breathe a sigh of relief.

Opening his eyes, Su Han saw Yuchi Tiannan.

His tense heart, finally relaxed.

"Senior... cough cough!"

"I’m sorry, I was late..." Yuchi Tiannan sighed.

Even though he is at the Dao Sovereign Realm, even if late, he needn’t apologize to Su Han.

But Su Han had helped the Immortal King Sect so much during the Heavenly Talent Competition, the sect remembered this kindness, and Yuchi Tiannan, had it ever-present in his heart!

...

Three days later.

Under Yuchi Tiannan’s numerous pills and assistance, Su Han’s First Primordial Spirit finally stabilized completely.

Though memories shattered, in the Nine Extremes Soul-Opening Chain, there are still other Eight Great Primordial Spirits, all memories can be retrieved from those spirits.

"Soul search, God-devouring Insects..."

Listening to Su Han’s calm recount, Yuchi Tiannan’s fists tightened, with overwhelming anger erupting from his heart.

He knew, exactly the kind of pain and torment this was.

"At least now I’m not dead."

Su Han took a breath, smiled at Yuchi Tiannan, "Thank you, Senior, for rescuing me; I am truly grateful."

"Just listen!"

Yuchi Tiannan said displeased, "Knowing you’ve offended so many people, why didn’t you inform me before coming here? Had I known in advance and accompanied you, how would this have happened?"

"I can’t live under others’ protection forever."

Su Han shook his head gently, "Who can predict when crises might come? I assumed, upon arriving here, there shouldn’t be any crisis, but who would’ve thought they would attack me right at their doorstep. If not for your timely intervention, Senior, I would’ve already been turned into ashes, haha..."

"Do you know who opened fire on you?" Yuchi Tiannan asked.

"I don’t know."

Su Han shook his head, "The opponent was concealing their appearance from beginning to end, even the figure was an illusion, clearly intentionally hiding."

"But according to my guess, this person very likely could be Lin Jian, and Senior Official’s people!"

Yuchi Tiannan frowned deeply.

Unknowing the opponent’s identity, cannot pursue, aimless conjecture, will only provoke the Qing Emperor Sect’s wrath.

"But, even if unknown now, I will find a way to discover it later!"

Su Han shook his hand, suddenly reaching out to the distance.

A moment later, his hand withdrew and blood appeared, which Su Han stored in a Jade Bottle.

"Though he escaped, he’s left this blood behind; once my strength is sufficient, even if this person enters the Middle-Class Star Region, I’ll know exactly who he is!"
