Chapter 2048: Is This a Final Surge of Life Before Death?

The Flame Rat was deeply confused, but the thought vanished from his mind in an instant.

Even if something strange truly existed in this outer region of Penglai Immortal Island guarded by the Wu Clan, he would force his way through—he had to fight for Tian Shu Yao.

Tian Shu Yao's life now rested in his hands!

"Don't worry, we brothers won't let you die, Tian Shu Yao."

"Once we find Luo Fu the Sage, I'll kneel and beg him to save your life—even if I must trade my life for yours, I will save you."

As he spoke, the Flame Rat, eyes red, charged forward.

The Wu Clan soldiers under Xingtian were still formidable, but the Rhino Demon and the others held them off at the front, allowing the Flame Rat to break through the encirclement and press ahead.

The Flame Rat's eyes were bloodshot; Tian Shu Yao was clearly dying, and he had to keep him alive.

Until now, they had been feeding Tian Shu Yao single doses to sustain him.

"Tian Shu Yao, don't die!"

"You absolutely cannot die—if you die, we brothers won't be whole anymore."

No matter how much the Flame Rat called out, Tian Shu Yao heard nothing; yet near Penglai Immortal Island, he sensed a beam of light appear.

It was precisely this beam of light that made the Flame Rat suddenly notice Tian Shu Yao's complexion had grown slightly ruddy.

Could this be a final surge of life before death?

Realizing this, the Flame Rat immediately shook Tian Shu Yao awake, and slowly felt that the golden glow earlier had indeed been healing him.

"What's going on? What exactly are these things?" The Flame Rat was both excited and frantic.

No one was nearby to guide him; he had no idea what these were, and could only guess.

The Primordial Purple Qi had spread throughout the Honghuang, and all living beings in the Honghuang had been affected by it, each regaining a little vitality.

Hong Yun had broken through the limits of the Primordial Purple Qi and saved the entire Honghuang.

Ling She Island was the first to be affected!

Moreover, Tian Shu Yao, because of this thread of golden Primordial Purple Qi, now looked much healthier; the Flame Rat watched, astonished as Tian Shu Yao slowly sat up.

"You're better?"

Tian Shu Yao opened his eyes, dazed, gazing toward the Flame Rat's direction.

The instant he opened his eyes, he saw a group of Wu Clan soldiers chasing after them, as if preparing to attack.

"Watch out… behind you."

The Flame Rat immediately unleashed a burst of flame; the Wu Clan soldiers behind dared not approach, and this wall of fire triggered a surge in the Flame Rat's own power.

The Rhino Demon and the Yellow Wind Demon could not hold back so many Wu Clan soldiers, and they retreated voluntarily, falling back to the Flame Rat's side.

"No good—too many of them!"

"Is Tian Shu Yao better? But why did he recover? Could it be…"

The Rhino Demon dared not finish his sentence; they all assumed it was a final surge of life before death—but only the Flame Rat knew this was not a final surge of life before death.

The Flame Rat stared at the spot before him, feeling that this beam of light had arrived at the perfect moment.

And with the appearance of this beam, everything had turned to ash.

"As long as he's better, as long as he can move now, we can leave this place—and our original reason for coming to Penglai Immortal Island was to find Luo Fu the Sage for healing."
