Rumble—!
The moment Chongguang finished speaking, Ye Guyue, who had long since been exploited by the Heart Demon, did not hesitate in the slightest. She instantly self-destructed, taking all her Spiritual Treasures with her!
Then the Peak Master of Heaven Mending went stupid.
"Ah?"
Before he could react, the destructive storm unleashed by the self-destruction slammed heavily into the vast ocean he had created with his divine arts, making him grunt on the spot.
In an instant, a surging golden-white storm swept through like death by a thousand cuts, nearly shredding his divine art, the Red Ru Scale, to pieces. Beyond that, Ye Guyue's life-forged Spiritual Treasure, the Nine-Mother Heavenly Demon Sword, also exploded alongside it, rupturing his Dharma body and sending him plunging headfirst from the sky.
Madwoman. A madwoman from the Sword Pavilion!
The Peak Master of Heaven Mending was shocked and furious, his heart filled with confusion. Why had she self-destructed? I had only just suppressed you—you could have struggled a little longer!
Maybe you could even have escaped!
You were not some Foundation Establishment True Person with no hope of reincarnation. You had reached the pinnacle of the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, with Great True Personhood in sight. Such a splendid Dao Path—why throw it away now?
He simply could not understand it!
Ye Guyue's sudden self-destruction had not only severely wounded the Peak Master of Heaven Mending, but had even shaken his Dao Foundation for a time. This was already a grave matter concerning his Dao Path.
Yet the die had been cast. The Peak Master of Heaven Mending could only swallow this bitter fruit. At the same time, he decisively withdrew all the radiance of his divine arts, unwilling to fight any further. After all, he harbored ambitions of becoming a Great True Person.
