The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 863 These are the rules!
Lin Chen didn't know what was behind the light gate, nor did he know if he would die.

He has no choice.

As soon as he stepped into the portal of light, everything went black, and his body seemed to be caught in a vortex. Space and time became incredibly chaotic at that moment, and he was moving forward in this vortex in a way that was difficult to describe.

Portal?

Space tunnel?

Lin Chen quickly felt a tremendous pulling force, a force that was almost tearing apart, as if it would rip Lin Chen to pieces instantly.

Lin Chen's skin began to crack, blood splattered, and even his flesh began to be torn apart.

Lin Chen was in excruciating pain, but there was nothing he could do.

He finally understood why those powerful individuals ultimately failed to pass through this gate. This power of the void was something no human could withstand. In the face of such power of rules, if you wanted to avoid being harmed, you had to conform to the rules!
Anything that doesn't comply with the rules will be eliminated!

These are the rules!
There is no room for negotiation; the rules are cold and impersonal.

Lin Chen turned his head to look at Gu Yuexi, only to find that Gu Yuexi was circulating the essence of wood, and her whole body was filled with the strong aura of the essence of wood.

She was not hurt at all!

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless of whether she would die or not, it seemed that she would really be able to leave alive.

Gu Yuexi also noticed the terrible state Lin Chen was in. She gritted her teeth, moved closer to Lin Chen, and lay directly on his back, frantically circulating her dantian, trying to envelop Lin Chen with the essence of wood in her body.

However, Gu Yuexi's actions had no effect.

The rules apply directly to the individual; it's not something you can do by lying on top of them and enveloping them with the essence of wood.

Lin Chen's flesh and blood continued to disintegrate, with much of the flesh missing in many places, revealing golden bones underneath.

Just when Lin Chen thought he was about to die, the erosion and tearing suddenly slowed down.

Two hundred and six sword bones simultaneously released the essence of metal and the essence of earth. The rules of the void seemed to determine the amount of essence in Lin Chen's sword bones, and then the degree of tearing was greatly reduced.

Although blood was still splattering and flesh was still tearing and disintegrating, the speed had greatly decreased, especially closer to the bone, where the speed was even slower.

Lin Chen was overjoyed. The metal and earth essences within his sword bone had finally come into play!

The rules of this void recognized the essence within my sword bone!

At this point, Lin Chen roughly understood that the Five Elements Essence was originally the primordial essence of heaven and earth, and this void gate was also constructed by the convergence and opening of the primordial essence of heaven and earth. Therefore, it was extremely exclusive. Unless you possessed a sufficient amount of primordial essence in your body, this void passage would not recognize you and allow you to pass through safely. If you did not have enough essence in your body, you would be considered an intruder, not allowed by the rules, and would be directly torn to pieces by the power of the void and disappear into this void.

Everyone who enters the Five Elements Immortal Palace probably ends up entering this gate and dying in this void. Of course, it's also possible that every time the Five Elements Immortal Palace enters the void, it annihilates and eliminates everything left in the Five Elements Immortal Palace.

Therefore, the entire Five Elements Immortal Palace, inside and out, was spotless except for the words carved on the walls, leaving no unnecessary traces.

There was no corpse, no magical artifact, not even a fragment of clothing.

Clean and tidy.

The pain was so intense it made him numb, but knowing that he had a good chance of surviving filled Lin Chen with hope.

Having already attained the Nascent Soul stage, what are a few physical injuries? Besides, I still have the Life Pearl and the essence of water, so what are a few minor cuts and bruises?
Just be alive!

Gu Yuexi also noticed that Lin Chen's body was rapidly deteriorating, and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.

She hugged Lin Chen even tighter, as if afraid she might accidentally let go.

In this void passage, letting go might be a final farewell!
The space shifted, and time seemed to lose its meaning. Just when Lin Chen was about to give up, his eyes suddenly lit up.

The two fell from the void and landed on a mountain peak.

Holding Lin Chen, Gu Yuexi floated in the air and exclaimed in surprise, "Brother, we escaped!"

Lin Chen was covered in blood, with not a single patch of undamaged skin, and looked incredibly terrifying.

Gu Yuexi showed no disgust whatsoever. She carried Lin Chen and quickly landed on the mountaintop. Then she prepared to infuse Lin Chen with spiritual energy to heal his injuries.

Lin Chen struggled to raise his hand, took out the Life Spirit Pearl, and placed it on his heart.

"Infuse with spiritual energy."

Gu Yuexi didn't know what the Life Pearl was, but she still followed Lin Chen's instructions and poured spiritual energy into it.

Gu Yuexi was surprised to find that as spiritual energy was injected, it was transformed into a rich vitality that flowed into Lin Chen's heart. Then, it spread throughout his body with his blood, and the bleeding from his bloody wounds quickly slowed down and began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

What magic weapon is this?
It's so amazing!

Judging from its effects, it seems somewhat similar to the Life-Giving Pearl, the lost treasure of Cangshan Cave.
