"Well done, Old Tree!" Su Yang praised Old Tree without reservation.

As if spurred by Su Yang's praise, the old tree absorbed and devoured these life sources even faster.

Su Yang coldly surveyed the rampaging black beetles outside.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and said with a smile:

"Ji Ruyan, it seems she can't find peace even in death..."

"Master, is Ji Ruyan really completely dead?" Elder Tree asked doubtfully.

Su Yang countered, "What do you think?"

The old tree replied uncertainly, "Master, I think Ji Ruyan's death was too hasty. I think... she's still alive!"

Su Yang didn't speak; she shifted her gaze to the blood-red silver soul worm on her fingertip.

Bang!

In an instant, the blood-red silver soul worm exploded completely, turning into spiritual energy dust.

"Master, the Crimson Silver Soul Insect is gone too. It seems Ji Ruyan is really dead!"

After a long silence, Su Yang spoke: "No, she's not dead!"

"My Crimson Silver Soul Insect can only sense her physical body. Just now, her physical body was completely devoured by the backlash of the Law of Life, so the Crimson Silver Soul Insect naturally disappeared as well."

"But I'm certain that Ji Ruyan is not dead!"

"Her physical body can change, but her soul cannot!"

"Just now, through the physical connection between this blood-red silver soul worm and Ji Ruyan, I infiltrated a trace of the Gu law into Ji Ruyan's soul."

"The Gu law I left on her soul is still there, so she is not dead."

"However, what I am certain of is that she has left this sacred mountain and is still in the Heavenly Abyss."

"After I leave this sacred mountain, I'll settle the score with her personally!"

"These are my lifeblood! The lifeblood within these people is mine! They are all mine! My lifespan! Mine!"

On the other side, Bai Yansang watched as all these life sources were absorbed by Su Yang, and muttered frantically in his eyes.

At that moment, disregarding whether the person inside the cocoon entangled by vines was a god, he suddenly flew towards Su Yang's direction.

As he flew toward Su Yang, he continued to slaughter the life source inheritors along the way, devouring their life source, together with the surrounding black beetles.

Just then, dozens of black beetles also discovered the presence of the white-robed immortal emperor, and their greedy eyes blocked Bai Yansang's path.

Su Yang glanced towards the direction of the Hundred Smoke Mulberry Fields, then looked at the nearly wiped-out Life Source Inheritors, and then solemnly instructed Elder Tree:

"Old Tree, send some vines to deal with those black beetles."

Upon hearing this, the old tree accelerated its absorption of these life sources while also sending out several vines imbued with chaotic spiritual power to deal with the black beetles.

Meanwhile, just as a life-source inheritor was about to become food for a black beetle,

Suddenly, a green vine emitting a gray glow pierced through the black beetle's hard shell.

The chaotic spiritual energy on the vine surged into the black beetle's body, instantly beginning to wreak havoc inside.

A moment later, the black beetle's eyes dimmed, and its body stiffened, collapsing to the ground, motionless.

With the addition of the Tree Elder's vines filled with chaotic spiritual light, the number of those Life Source Inheritors who were fighting a difficult battle no longer decreased.

Conversely, the number of black beetles that the Life Source Inheritors are fighting is constantly decreasing.

There was one exception: the number of black beetles in the direction of the White-Clad Immortal Emperor increased rather than decreased.

Su Yang did not ask Tree Elder to help Baiyansang deal with the Black Beetle.

The black beetles seemed to realize this as well; they would be attacked by those strange vines when they attacked other inheritors of life essence.

However, when dealing with this old man in white, one cannot be attacked by the vines.

Then, the black beetles began to gather in the direction of the white-robed immortal emperor.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and looked gratefully in Su Yang's direction.

Seeing that the inheritors of life essence were recovering, Su Yang withdrew her gaze.

She did this not out of excessive sympathy, but intentionally.

Now she resides on the sacred mountain where the God of Life's divine position is passed down.

The God of Life governs the Great Way of Life, and the birth and death of all living beings in the world are under his control.

Through these years of cultivating the laws of life, Su Yang gradually came to understand that the birth and death of life are indeed the rightful authority of the God of Life.

But the most important thing for the god of life is to maintain reverence for life!

As the God of Life, although he holds the power over life, all things in the universe have their own natural laws and are under the control of the Heavenly Dao, which is coordinated and controlled by all the gods in the divine realm.

The god of life cannot destroy life or restore life that should have disappeared and withered to its original state without cause.

Otherwise, the God of Life, who governs the Great Way of Life, would not have died unexpectedly.

These inheritors of life essence outside are also among the living beings in the world.

If one wishes to gain the recognition of the God of Life's inheritance, then reverence for life is what the inheritor of the life source must do!

If the innocent killings caused are too severe, no matter how powerful you are or how high your talent is in cultivating the Way of Life, you may not be able to gain the true recognition of the God of Life's inheritance.

Perhaps, the inheritors of the life source will kill each other, thus devouring their own life source.

This is the biggest scheme within a scheme set up by the god of life in the dark!

When she was deeply cultivating the Law of Life, the life force emanating from her body inexplicably saved the man who was being plagued by the backlash of the Law of Life... This must be the reason...

Therefore, Su Yang's act of saving the lives of these inheritors of the life source was merely a temporary adherence to the principle of respecting life.

Su Yang raised her hands, a look of helplessness appearing in her eyes.

She has already committed countless acts of violence and bloodshed along the way.

Respect for life? It simply doesn't exist for her!

Although Su Yang is not a bloodthirsty person, she will not hesitate to strike when faced with someone who deserves to die.

Immediately afterwards, Su Yang's entire body was enveloped in dazzling golden light.

She noticed this situation, and finally a smile appeared on her lips.

"Although I have committed countless killings... I possess the golden light of merit!"

The golden light of merit is a wonderful thing!

Not only can it enhance her luck and help Su Yang unlock the treasure within her, it can also eliminate the murderous aura that Su Yang has accumulated over the years due to her killing.

Although there are no shortcuts in the path of cultivation.

But sometimes, Su Yang still has to admit it.

Rules are immutable, but using them appropriately, or taking shortcuts when necessary, might yield unexpected results...

At this moment, Su Yang could empathize with the situation. Why did so many people in the cultivation world know the dangers of evil cultivation, yet still couldn't resist cultivating evil paths and becoming evil cultivators?

Faced with this shortcut, who wouldn't want to take it?

Just then, a sudden idea flashed into Su Yang's mind.

She felt the power of the life laws within her body surging like a tidal wave.

She had a premonition that after this, she would completely and thoroughly understand the laws of life!

Thinking of this, Su Yang gave a few more instructions to Elder Tree, and then immersed herself in the deep cultivation of the laws of life.

******

Time passed second by second, and Su Yang was completely immersed in the laws of life and could not extricate herself.

I don't know how much time has passed again.

Su Yang's tightly closed eyes trembled slightly.

The next moment, she suddenly opened her eyes.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

"You damned lower-world woman, get out here! Get out here! Give me back my life essence!"

"These are my lifeblood, my lifespan! My lifespan!!!"

Su Yang had just woken up when she heard a series of furious curses.

She frowned slightly when she heard this.

"Master, you're finally awake."

Su Yang only now realized that the vines that the old tree had laid out around her had been completely destroyed.

Now that she is no longer hidden by these vines, her true self is revealed to everyone.

Although it's called a crowd, there aren't actually that many people.

Now, the only people on the summit of this sacred mountain, besides Su Yang, are the white-robed Immortal Emperor Bai Yansang, who has gone mad, and the male cultivator that Su Yang unintentionally saved before.

At this moment, the male cultivator was sitting on the futon, looking at Su Yang with a worried expression.

Both Su Yang and the male cultivator were protected by prayer cushions, so Bai Yansang couldn't break through their defenses.

Bai Yansang seemed to have gone mad, ignoring the injuries caused to him by the rebounding attacks from the futon, and relentlessly launched attacks on Su Yang's futon defenses.

Su Yang glanced around again.

There were corpses everywhere.

There were the corpses of those who inherited the life source, and the corpses of black beetles.

The ground was littered with corpses, the blood had dried, weeds grew rampant, and the stench of blood lingered for a long time.

Bai Yansang continued her relentless attacks on Su Yang's protective futon.

His face looked much younger than before Su Yang fell asleep, but he still hadn't recovered to his previous middle-aged appearance.

Su Yang ignored Baiyan Sang for a moment and asked the old tree:

"What happened here? How did everyone die during the time I was asleep?"

The old tree sighed, "Master, all of this was done by Bai Yansang. After you fell into a deep sleep, Bai Yansang killed those black beetles one by one, and then turned around and slaughtered all the life source inheritors that you saved."

"After absorbing the life essence of those life essence inheritors, he did indeed become much younger, but he didn't recover much."

"Then he turned his gaze to his master. Master, you have been asleep for a whole year, and this Baiyan Sang has been relentlessly attacking the futon's defenses for a whole year, until now."

After the old tree explained it to Su Yang, Su Yang finally understood.

She looked at Bai Yansang, whose face was contorted with rage and whose expression was crazed.

An immortal emperor whose lifespan is nearing its end, about to experience the five signs of decay, who once had a lifespan of millions or tens of millions of years, is only one divine position away from ascending to the top.

It seems that Baiyansang is truly at his wit's end; he has been driven utterly insane by the impending end of his life.
