Si Ren's words hit Lock King right where it hurt most.
He had spent ten thousand years stranded on this mortal-grade planet. With no spiritual energy here, his abilities not only failed to improve, but actually regressed. To preserve his lifespan and prevent his cultivation realm from deteriorating too severely, he had been forced into feigned-death seclusion.
If things truly were as Si Ren described, then Lock King's ten thousand years had been entirely wasted. His sect mission unfulfilled, his realm stagnant for millennia—the blow was undoubtedly fatal to him.
