Chapter 4045: Chapter 4045: Why! Is It You! (Sixth Update)

At this moment, Ye Chen could only use words to encourage himself, to invigorate his spirit, to prevent himself from losing his way. Yet he was unsure of how long it would take to break the ice and see Wei Ying.

Ye Chen’s consciousness was increasingly blurred. As his blood continued to flow and his soul power was continually consumed, Ye Chen’s movements became slower, and the force with which he struck the ice grew weaker.

"I, I cannot fall!"

At this moment, Ye Chen looked at the ice in front of him and roared at himself internally, but his body grew weaker, feeling as if his muscles and bones had been removed.

"Thud!"

Ye Chen fell onto the ice. In his world of consciousness, boundless darkness swept over him, and Ye Chen now only wanted to sleep well, to rest comfortably.

However, if Ye Chen were to sleep now and let his consciousness get lost within the ice, this cold, desolate world would turn everything into silent death, wiping out all life and causing Ye Chen to perish as well.

At this moment, just as the darkness was about to touch Ye Chen, his heavy eyelids, which were hard to open, suddenly caught sight of Wei Ying’s eyes.

"No! I came to save someone, how can I fall!"

Endless battle will surged from Ye Chen, and at this moment, a spark of light appeared in his sea of consciousness. In the next moment, it turned into infinite brightness, colliding with the vast darkness, expelling all the overwhelming blackness.

Outside, Ye Chen looked at the ice before him with surprise. It turned out that with his ongoing effort, he was now just a step away from breaking through the ice.

Witnessing the hand-width ice layer in front of him, just one palm strike could break it, Ye Chen felt a chill of fear in his chest.

Looking at the ice that could be shattered with a single palm, if he hadn’t recalled Wei Ying in his near-lost state, seen her eyes, and realized the purpose and responsibility of his journey, Ye Chen might have truly become lost in this infinite cold ruin.

"If it truly were like that, that would be the saddest thing."

Ye Chen shook his head, and the next moment his eyes gleamed with sharpness as he looked at the hand-width ice layer in front, and he struck it with both hands without hesitation.

"Bang!"

At this moment, the sound of ice shattering reverberated, a loud and magnificent sound, deafening yet making Ye Chen feel as if it were the most beautiful sound in the world.

"Finally broke it."

At that moment, Ye Chen smiled with relief, feeling his tense body relax. But in the next moment, a bone-chilling coldness swept over him, turning Ye Chen’s expression more serious.

This piercing cold was more terrifying than in the ruins. If Ye Chen did not possess soul power to protect himself and the reincarnation bloodline, with his strong physical body, even an ordinary expert in the Heavenly Repair Realm could be turned to ice by this cold and perish.

Wei Ying had always been in such a space, which meant she must be facing an even more terrifying environment. For a while, Ye Chen grew increasingly worried about Wei Ying’s situation.

Then, without hesitation, Ye Chen used soul power to protect himself and charged directly through the broken ice layer into this place more terrifying than the East Cold Abyss ruins.

This place is the Extreme Cold Netherworld Prison! But Ye Chen did not know it.

At this moment, as Ye Chen rushed into the Extreme Cold Netherworld Prison, he detected a faint scent of death permeating the place. Though faint, it was exceptionally pure, as if drifting in from a real hell.

And here it remained dark without end, and Ye Chen could not see the scene clearly. Otherwise, he would discover the walls on both sides of this world were carved with scenes from real hell, and he would understand this place was truly part of hell that had fallen to the outside world.

In the Extreme Cold Netherworld Prison, Ye Chen, following the faint perception of the reincarnation bloodline and the direction of Wei Ying’s aura, continued forward. After walking for half an hour, he finally saw a place emitting a faint glow amid the boundless darkness.

Upon seeing this faint glow, Ye Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and quickly stepped forward, his heart pounding because he sensed Wei Ying’s extremely strong presence, and this faint glow seemed to be emitted by Wei Ying herself.

When Ye Chen got closer, he suddenly discovered that the glow was indeed emitted by Wei Ying. However, it was not some other object but actually a power of life.

Wei Ying before him was enveloped in a thick layer of ice, already transformed into an ice sculpture, and her body emitted a glow, which was Wei Ying’s own life force.

Wei Ying was using her own life to resist the invasion of the cold air from the Extreme Cold Netherworld Prison. If her life depleted, she too would be completely frozen by the cold air and turned into a real ice sculpture.

At this moment, the glow emitted by Wei Ying was already very faint, indicating that her vitality was about to be exhausted.

At the same time, Ye Chen noticed one thing: the Wei Ying inside the ice sculpture, perhaps due to the intense jolts during the collapse of the East Cold Abyss, had lost her veil, and he finally saw Wei Ying’s true face.

"This mysterious woman, the palace master of Juehan Palace, is actually..."

Ye Chen looked at the woman within the ice sculpture, tears slowly slipping down his cheeks, which were then frozen by the cold spiritual energy from the Extreme Cold Netherworld Prison.

Ye Chen saw, truly and completely, that the face beneath the veil was his former Huaxia Capital Normal University English teacher, Wei Ying!

"Are you the new professor at the Capital City’s University?"

"My name is Wei Ying, an English teacher at the Capital City’s University. I just came here this past half year and live across from you."

"Professor Ye, you’re really young..."

"My body has been devoured by cold for years. This illness, maybe it can’t be cured... who knows, maybe one day I’ll just leave this world."

"Ye Chen, do you believe in fate?"

"The connection between people is truly mysterious. When you first came to the Capital Demonstration University, the first person you met was me."

"Ye Chen, I think... I’ve grown a bit fond of the present days..."

...

At that moment, Ye Chen understood many things, such as why this highly esteemed palace master of the Juehan Palace, a descendant of Emperor Juehan, was willing to help him at any cost, even to the point of sacrificing her life.

This woman who saved him countless times was indeed Wei Ying.

She had followed him all the way from the Kunlun Mountains, to the Lingwu Continent, to the Divine Kingdom, and even now to the Outer Realm!

"Wei Ying..., why did you hide your identity? You’ve done so much for me; why didn’t you let me know!"

"You really are a silly girl!"

Ye Chen understood Wei Ying’s thoughts, but the more he understood, the more guilt he felt. This woman who had given her all for him, he owed her too much.

At that moment, even though Ye Chen recognized Wei Ying, she had already transformed into an ice sculpture, maintaining survival through her own life force.

"Wei Ying!"

Ye Chen shouted aloud, hoping Wei Ying could hear his voice and respond.
