“As long as you place your hand on the nearby crimson-black soil, you can successfully abolish your cultivation,” Puppy prompted, seeing that Brian Young had made his decision, a look of approval appearing on his face.

“I don’t need to abolish my cultivation in the real world?” Brian Young was slightly stunned.

“That’s right, the ‘Xianhong Space’ is quite miraculous. It’s neither a virtual space nor a space of consciousness. The you in reality and the you here are completely synchronized. In other words, if you die here, then you will also die in reality.”

Puppy said with a smile.

“Is it really that magical?”

Brian Young was completely unable to comprehend the meaning of this space, which was actually synchronized with reality.

Taking a deep breath, Brian Young squatted down, stretched out his slightly trembling hands, and reached toward the crimson-black soil near the green ground.

In this strange space, apart from the green ground beneath Brian Young’s feet, all the other crimson-black soil exuded a terrifying aura of deathly stillness.

Finally, as if an eternity had passed, Brian Young’s hand touched that crimson-black soil.

Puff!

Brian Young pressed his hand hard onto the crimson soil.

In an instant, a terrifying devouring force surged from that deathly soil.

A blue light flickered over Brian Young’s body, and his innate vital energy involuntarily surged madly into the black soil.

For a moment, his body endured unimaginable torment—many of his meridians ruptured, and even his internal organs suffered severe damage.

As his innate vital energy leaked out, the vitality within Brian Young’s body also drained away in torrents. His once rosy face became incomparably pale.

Even his skin and hair began to age at a visible rate.

“Ah…”

Brian Young cried out in pain, cold sweat pouring from his forehead, his body trembling uncontrollably.

This kind of pain was not something an ordinary person could endure. Only Brian Young, with his incredibly tenacious will, managed to withstand it.

After a long time, the patch of black soil touched by Brian Young’s hand actually began to transform into green soil like the ground beneath his feet.

Gradually, the pull from this soil lessened, and it began to brim with vitality.

Bang!

At a certain moment, Brian Young collapsed to the ground, his magic power completely lost, becoming a cripple.

Even more shocking, his head of black hair had turned white.

At the very moment Brian Young lost all his magic power, a special tremor emanated from the ring in his hand.

Blood-red light surged on the ring’s surface, and a jade-green radiance merged with the blood light, forming a phantom that entered deep into Brian Young’s soul.

At this moment, a stream of information appeared in his mind:

“Xianhong Jue”—this was actually a completely unknown cultivation method!

“Xianhong Jue? Could this be the ‘heaven-defying technique’ that Puppy mentioned…”

Brian Young was secretly shocked.

Boom!

Suddenly, at the Yang family in Nanling, thunder roared, and purple heavenly lightning rolled across the sky, its momentum astonishing.

In that instant, a terrifying pressure descended from the end of the boundless firmament.

Majestic heavenly might, impossible for mortals to resist.

Moreover, the range covered by this pressure was extremely vast, enveloping the entire East Victory Continent, spanning billions of miles, in the blink of an eye.

Those with weaker strength—low-level cultivators and mortals—could only see the faint flashes of lightning between heaven and earth, feeling the unprecedented grandeur, but nothing else particularly special.

However, the powerful great cultivators suffered terribly, all enduring that terrifying heavenly might.

“Could it be that someone is undergoing the Great Heavenly Tribulation, seeking to ascend and become immortal?”

Threads of divine sense wandered across the East Victory Continent. The top-tier, formidable beings were all shocked, spitting out mouthfuls of blood in unison.

“Impossible. Even a heavenly tribulation wouldn’t have such power.”

In the eastern part of the East Victory Continent, atop an ancient and magnificent astrology tower, a hazy, graceful figure floated high in the air. Dots of starlight flowed around her flawless form, like a goddess of the starry sky.

“A portentous tribulation descends from the heavens—there must be an anomaly.”

An ethereal, heavenly voice rippled across the starry sky. The woman shrouded in mysterious starlight let out a faint sigh and also spat out a mouthful of blood.

“A portentous tribulation descends from the heavens—there must be an anomaly.”

“A portentous tribulation descends from the heavens—there must be an anomaly.”

This message spread among all the great cultivators of the East Victory Continent at an unbelievable speed.

From this, one could see the status of that mysterious starry-sky woman.

Aside from these great cultivators, Brian Young was the only low-level cultivator—or rather, mortal—to bear this immense pressure, since he had already lost his magic power.

The surging lightning between heaven and earth, in his vision, expanded a hundredfold, a thousandfold compared to others.

Brian Young even developed the illusion that the boundless pressure shaking heaven and earth was directed solely at him.

Under such heavenly might, he too couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood, barely holding on.

Fortunately, the abnormal omen between heaven and earth lasted only a few breaths before gradually fading away.

Whew!

Brian Young was drenched in sweat, collapsing to the ground, looking deeply shaken.

In just a short while, his life had undergone tremendous change. The magic power he had painstakingly cultivated for over a decade was completely lost, and he had become a cripple.
