Chapter 2034 Resurrection (3)

"There's no guarantee of success," Yun Lintian warned. "The fragments of the Great Law of Death are deeply embedded within you. It could be fatal."

Li Shan remained surprisingly calm. "I understand. Please, proceed."

Yun Lintian didn't hesitate further. He inhaled deeply, extending his hand with an open palm towards Li Shan. Focusing his energy, he channeled the power of the Great Law of Life.

A soft, white light emanated from his hand, a stark contrast to the necrotic energy coursing through Li Shan's body.

As the light made contact with Li Shan, a guttural moan ripped from his spectral form. His body writhed in agony as the purifying light clashed with the corrupting darkness within him. The vines that bound him pulsed with a vibrant emerald green, mirroring Yun Lintian's efforts.

While exerting himself to heal Li Shan, Yun Lintian meticulously searched the depths of Li Shan's skeletal form. To his disappointment, he found nothing remarkable. The mystery surrounding Li Shan's "revival" remained shrouded in darkness.

A fierce internal struggle raged within Li Shan. His spectral form flickered erratically, the battle leaving visible cracks spiderwebbing across his skeletal frame. The stench of decay mingled with the purifying light, creating a nauseating concoction.

Huo Jinyang, unwilling to give up, initiated a sound transmission to Lin Feng. "Brother Lin…"

Hesitation flickered across Lin Feng's eyes, then vanished. He took a deep breath and acknowledged, "We were foolishly greedy from the beginning. Let fate decide our course."

Zhang Yu seemed to pick up on the unspoken exchange between the two. Despite her lower strength compared to Lin Feng and the others, she spoke boldly. "Let me remind you, we had no intention of saving your pathetic life to begin with."

Huo Jinyang, though consumed by anger, kept his emotions in check.

Yue Shen, glancing at Lin Feng and Huo Jinyang, spoke calmly. "Your actions dishonor the Kunlun God."

Lin Feng's body trembled visibly. He lowered his head and muttered, "I apologize."

Yu Xinlan's perception of Lin Feng and Huo Jinyang shifted dramatically after witnessing this incident. She could infer the content of their sound transmission. It was difficult to believe they still dared to dream of inheriting the Kunlun God's legacy.

Ever the vengeful soul, Zhang Yu refused to let the matter rest. She offered a cold smile. "Do you want some suggestions? Perhaps taking us hostage might force him to make concessions."

Lin Feng and Huo Jinyang were overwhelmed with shame at her words.

Their display of humiliation prompted Zhang Yu to scoff coldly and turn her attention elsewhere.

Buzz—

Suddenly, a blinding flash erupted from the point of contact. The purifying light intensified, momentarily engulfing Li Shan completely. His spectral form writhed and convulsed pushed to its limits.

Yun Lintian, sensing Li Shan's soul beginning to mend, didn't hesitate to unleash everything at his disposal. He poured the power of the Great Law of Life and the Tree of Life to their absolute limits.

Fleshy tissue materialized on Li Shan's skeletal frame. His organs and blood vessels gradually regenerated – a miraculous sight to behold.

The vines surrounding Li Shan rapidly sprouted flowers, branches, and leaves. Their roots snaked across the tower, penetrating the ground below, reaching every corner of the city.

Soon, trees, grasses, and flowers burst forth everywhere. The once lifeless city began to regain its vitality.

The blinding light vanished as abruptly as it appeared, plunging the area into a stunned silence. Yun Lintian slumped to his knees, his face pale and drained of color. Exhausted from pushing his powers to their limits, his entire body ached. However, his gaze remained fixed on Li Shan.

Li Shan stood tall, his spectral form now shrouded in a faint, luminous glow. Gone was the skeletal frame, replaced by a being that resembled a human, though with an ethereal air.

The once hollow echo of his voice now resonated with warmth and intelligence. He appeared years younger than the last time Yun Lintian saw him.

"It… it worked," Li Shan rasped, flexing his hand in wonder at the sensation. "I can feel again…"

A wave of gratitude washed over him, and he bowed deeply towards Yun Lintian. "Thank you, Young Master Yun. You have saved me from an eternity of torment."

Yun Lintian managed a weak smile. "It was the least I could do, considering you saved me from the Asura Gods." He gestured towards the revitalized cityscape. "The effects of your healing have spread far and wide."

Li Shan turned his gaze towards the city, witnessing the flourishing vegetation. A flicker of sadness crossed his features. "You mentioned I am the city lord. Unfortunately, I have no memories."

Sorrow filled his heart at the sight of countless skeletons scattered throughout the city. Even without his memories, a deep connection to the city seemed to resonate within him.

Lin Yitong materialized beside Yun Lintian and gently touched his shoulder. A surge of power coursed through his body, and his pale face regained its color.

"Your understanding of the Great Law of Life has grown even stronger," Lin Yitong said softly.

"I wasn't even aware," Yun Lintian admitted, shaking his head. He couldn't even gauge his own power level at the moment. It seemed he had inexplicably grown stronger.

Li Shan turned to Yun Lintian and said, "Follow me."

With that, he leaped down and pushed open the towering gate.

Yun Lintian and the others followed without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng's group remained outside. Shame kept Lin Feng and Huo Jinyang from entering the tower, while Yue Shen and Yu Xinlan had never intended to join them in the first place.

Li Shan led Yun Lintian's group through the massive gate of the tower. An oppressive darkness greeted them, broken only by faint shimmers of jade green emanating from cracks in the stone walls. The stagnant air hung heavy with a decaying stench.

"Be cautious of the aura here," Li Shan warned, his voice echoing in the vast chamber. He raised his hand, and a silver barrier materialized around everyone.

Ever vigilant, Yun Lintian scanned the surroundings with his Eyes of Heaven. He perceived a dense network of energy channels woven throughout the tower, pulsing with a black light – undoubtedly traces of the Great Law of Death.

"Did those two people move the Yellow Emperor's remains here?" Yun Lintian inquired.

Li Shan shook his head. "I don't know. When I awoke, my lord was already here… Let's go. I will bring you there."
