Chapter 230 - 230: The Old Man Is Here, We’re Safe!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

As time passed, both sides had become desperate.

Li Yidao’s expression gradually turned malicious as he checked his remaining lifespan—158 years.

Only 15 seconds remained for him to endure.

If Li Yidao couldn’t outlast the opponent in these 15 seconds, he might become the one facing death.

As for Qi Yuqiang and the other white-robed man, they had already completely passed out.

It wasn’t accurate to say they passed out.

They were in a state of uncertain life and death.

However, judging by their conditions, things didn’t look good.

At least for now, the situation was not optimistic.

Li Yidao continued to deplete his remaining lifespan, moving forward relentlessly.

The bronze mirror, which had been trapping residual souls, had already been retrieved by Li Yidao.

When the strength of the fused entity dropped to its lowest point, the remaining souls scattered in retreat.

Li Yidao was indeed at the end of his strength, but the residual souls didn’t know that.

Even if they did, they wouldn’t challenge Li Yidao’s formidable determination.

They were just souls, possessing consciousness, not fools.

Would they rush forward knowing the danger and face certain death?

Under the subconscious awareness of their remaining consciousness, they would undoubtedly choose to escape.

Now, Li Yidao faced only the last consciousness of the mastermind, struggling to persist.

In reality, no one could trap him anymore.

Qi Yuqiang and the white-robed man had both lost consciousness, and the only thing keeping him from escaping was Li Yidao’s Soul Seizure.

Unlike others who might be unable to control their consciousness again due to their abilities or their own weaknesses, Li Yidao was different.

His skill wasn’t concerned with or affected by the condition of Li Yidao’s body. It was a fixed type of power—consumed lifespan and delivered corresponding attacks to the enemy.

Regardless of Li Yidao’s weakness, as long as he had lifespan, he could execute it.

Watching Li Yidao getting closer, the opponent’s consciousness grew increasingly frantic.

As they approached the moment of true death, who could guarantee to face death calmly?

Except for those driven by fervor or madness, anyone with a moment of rationality, if not plunged into despair, wouldn’t, and perhaps couldn’t, face death.

The impending arrival of death wasn’t as simple as it seemed—it was a true terror.

With 108 years of remaining lifespan and only ten seconds left, Li Yidao roared,

Perhaps it was his momentum, or perhaps it was his final madness that caused the opponent’s consciousness to completely collapse.

Despite using his remaining consciousness to desperately break free, Li Yidao’s skills, as mentioned before, wouldn’t crumble due to his dwindling lifespan or weakening state.

As long as Li Yidao had lifespan to provide, his skill would persist.

Ten seconds, nine seconds… five seconds, four seconds… finally, three seconds left.

In these last three seconds, Li Yidao’s eyes turned completely red, and he became utterly frenzied.

The final three seconds seemed to freeze, creating an almost static moment.

If, at the last second, he couldn’t resolve the situation, Li Yidao would undoubtedly need to end the use of Soul Seizure.

However, stopping Soul Seizure meant giving up the fight, and the opponent, a figure of significance, would undoubtedly realize that Li Yidao had reached his limit.

In that case, the result, whether he chose to abandon the Soul Seizure skill or persist until the last year of his lifespan, was already predetermined.

Three seconds, two seconds… one second.

The opponent didn’t fall.

At this moment, a wry smile appeared on Li Yidao’s lips.

Had he failed to defeat the opponent after giving his all, revealing all his cards?

But he knew he had done his best.

Sigh… life might just be like this.

No one could predict the situation in the next second.

However, the unpredictable next second might not necessarily lead to a bad outcome.

Just as Li Yidao’s last second of expenditure ended, he was forced to cease the use of Soul Seizure.

An invisible force enveloped him—a familiar and somewhat gentle force.

Clearly, it was someone or something trying to save Li Yidao.

At the same time, the enemy, who had just felt a release throughout his body, suddenly sensed an absolute sense of oppression.

His expression, which had just relaxed, froze instantly.

Even if his original form came personally at his peak, he wouldn’t stand a chance against this force!

In an instant, the entity was truly stunned in place.

His eyes were filled with disbelief.

In silence, his remaining consciousness noticed an old man slowly approaching from behind Li Yidao.

The old man’s steps were so harmonious, and his posture was so composed.

When Li Yidao saw this person, he collapsed directly to the ground like a deflated balloon.

He knew he was safe.

The old man had arrived.

Even though he had never seen the old man take action, he had absolute confidence in him.

He knew the old man was mysterious, aware that he was not an ordinary person. Otherwise, his past self wouldn’t have survived. So, the moment he saw the old man, he completely relaxed.

The tense nerves also relaxed.

So, naturally, he became weak.

As the old man approached, he looked at Li Yidao, smiled, and nodded at him.

Li Yidao did not respond.

Not that he didn’t want to respond, but the intense pain in his brain made him unsure of how to respond.

The battle just now, if it weren’t for Li Yidao’s exceptionally strong willpower, how could he have endured until now?

That would be absolutely impossible!

He might have passed out many times without even knowing!

You see, for Li Yidao, many times, he’s just an ordinary person.

For example, his mental power, although it might be slightly stronger due to carrying two people’s mental strength, it’s only a marginal improvement!

Wanting to support his skills to achieve a higher level or deeper abilities is not that simple!

If there weren’t some special opportunities or unique training methods, for him, he probably could only maintain the current situation.

But, as the crises he faced became greater, and as the skills he acquired became sharper, even today, he discovered something.

Skills, after multiple uses or a certain level of mastery, they could advance!

For example, now, the ability of the Soul Seizure skill had already leveled up!

No, it should be said that the Soul Gathering skill had once again leveled up!

[Soul Gathering: By consuming a certain lifespan, it can form Soul Gathering. The advanced ability, ‘Soul Seizure,’ can consume ten times the lifespan of the corresponding Soul Gathering to perform ‘Soul Seizure.’ ‘Soul Seizure’ can arbitrarily dispose of the spiritual body formed after Soul Gathering. With the advancement of ‘Soul Seizure,’ it can consume a hundred times the lifespan of

Soul Gathering to deal with spiritual bodies at a higher level.]

Following Soul Seizure, there came an advanced version of Soul Seizure!

That was, a hundred times the lifespan consumption!

In other words, it’s ten times the Soul Seizure!

This was the same as the situation just now!

Moreover… Li Yidao could freely use Soul Seizure or its advanced version.

This was quite user-friendly.

After all, facing today’s crisis was still a rare occurrence.

It could distract the entire Unit 36, even Elder Liang, making them too busy to

care about themselves.

They couldn’t come to the rescue.

Even the old man needed such a long time to rush over.

The opponent’s strength and abilities were definitely not simple!

Li Yidao was well aware of this!

But today’s battle also planted a seed of self-improvement in Li Yidao’s heart.

A seed that needed to be strengthened as soon as possible.

You see, the previous followings and various predictions were all aimed at ordinary people.

Naturally, there was no problem.

Even when dealing with some special ability users, they were just small fries in the organization.

So there was no problem.

This kind of easy battle made Li Yidao form an idea to be the “Grim Reaper”!

However, when facing absolute power and higher-level abilities, the shortcomings of Li Yidao’s abilities were exposed.

He was completely outpowered!

So now, after this incident, Li Yidao planned to actively complete the system tasks as much as possible!

His recent follow-ups had really decreased a lot.

He hadn’t actively pursued some follow-up tasks after the death of the followed person!

This not only resulted in slow lifespan accumulation but also a lack of skill improvement.

If he were more diligent, he could accumulate thousands of years of lifespan!

Or if he completed more tasks and advanced the system, today’s battle would have been a bit easier.

After all, compared to being attacked by others, his attacks were invisible.

Such attacks were the ones that people were defenseless against!

They couldn’t even defend!

They could only passively accept!

But under such conditions, he was still beaten badly, and even his life was almost in danger!

The system… probably couldn’t bear to watch, right?

As Li Yidao was thinking back to the battle just now, the old man had already walked in front of the opponent’s consciousness.

His smile gradually turned cold.

Without any nonsense in the fearful eyes of the opponent, he pointed directly with a finger.

Then, the opponent’s consciousness instantly turned into flying ashes!

While attacking, the old man’s gaze was also exceptionally cold, muttering to himself, “Your hands have reached too far….
