At this moment, the three of them were gathered together. Right in the middle of them lay the corpse of Shi Wushuang. He still looked rosy-cheeked, showing not the slightest sign of having been dead for five years. Except for the complete absence of his peerless aura, he looked as if he were merely fast asleep. Meanwhile, the three Great Elders were using their own bodies as conduits, channeling pure spiritons—drawn from the distant purgertorial worlds—directly into Shi Wushuang's corpse. At the same time, hovering directly above the three elders and the corpse, an energy crystal roughly the size of a basketball was radiating brilliant light, completely enveloping Shi Wushuang's body within it.
"Azure... is here!" the majestic, emperor-like man who stood several meters tall suddenly said in a deep voice among the three.
The emaciated man, whose skeletal frame was wrapped in little more than a layer of skin, let out a rattling laugh before speaking. "This is the very final moment. With wolves ahead and tigers behind, if we fail, we die with honor. How can we afford to worry about much else at a time like this?"
