Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains, History as a Book

They knew that Erlang Shen was about to get serious!

Qi Chun took a deep breath and mobilized the power within his body to its maximum.

He held a painting and a book in his hands.

The Sage Scholar attained sainthood through books and paintings in the world; any painting or book could become his Law Treasure and fighting power!

The paintings and books now in our hands are timeless masterpieces and historical works!

They are respectively "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" and "Biography of a Thousand Autumns"!

"Heaven and earth are the scroll, history is the book, guard!"

Qi Chun let out a low shout, and the scrolls and books instantly burst forth with dazzling light, transforming into a huge canopy that pressed down on Erlang Shen.

This scene made Erlang Shen frown; he hadn't expected Qi Chun to be able to unleash such a powerful attack.

But he is Erlang Shen, possessing the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, invincible in the world!

He wielded his Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear even faster, and streaks of golden light burst forth from the spear tip, attempting to pierce the heavens.

However, the sky seemed to be formed from the boundless power of heaven and earth, making it incredibly resilient. No matter how Erlang Shen attacked, he could not break it.

Upon seeing Ye Jing breathed a sigh of relief, but was also extremely shocked by the Sage Scholar's strength!

His original strength as Sage Scholar was merely that of the Saint Realm!

But unexpectedly, he was able to fight Erlang Shen to a standstill!

You must know that the other party is Erlang Shen!

Heavenly Court God of War!

Actually, upon closer reflection, that makes sense!

If the Sage of Sage Scholar is truly weak, the Heavenly Court could easily send down any Divine Lord!

However, the Heavenly Court's inaction for so long was not only due to its confidence that the Sage Scholar and others could not escape this world, but also because the Sage Scholar was too troublesome and could not be resolved in a short time!

Sure enough, after the sky had been hanging for a while, Erlang Shen suddenly stopped his attack. His gaze was piercing as he stared at Qi Chun and said, "You have indeed surprised me. I've left you to your own devices all these years, and your strength has improved so much. But do you think you can defeat me like this?"

Qi Chun didn't speak, but stared intently at Erlang Shen. He knew that the battle had reached its most critical moment.

Just then, a wicked smile appeared on Erlang Shen's lips.

"I think you know the rules of this world: no one can use Spiritual Qi, Technique Method Divine Ability."

"It was only after our Heavenly Court arrived here and applied the mark through supreme Secret Method that people were able to cultivate normally!" His voice was deep and majestic, as if carrying an unquestionable power.

Qi Chun and Ye Jing's faces instantly stiffened, their hearts sinking as they realized that Erlang Shen's words were true.

The marks on them were indeed pirated marks imposed by the Heavenly Court, completely different from those officially developed by the Heavenly Court.

Once Erlang Shen communicates with the Heavenly Court and erases the marks on them, they will become no different from ordinary people, and all their cultivation will vanish.

Qi Chun quickly looked at Ye Jing, only to see that Ye Jing's expression had also become serious, clearly indicating that he had also realized the gravity of the situation.

Erlang Shen's voice was cold and authoritative, as if proclaiming their fate. "Now, I give you two choices: one, surrender and come back to Heavenly Court with me; two, let me erase the marks on you and make you my prey!"

Qi Chun took a deep breath, a resolute glint in his eyes. "We choose the third path!"

Erlang Shen raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised. "Oh? A third path?"

Qi Chun smiled slightly. He was prepared and wouldn't give in easily. "Yes, the third path. You can try and see if you can erase my mark!"

After saying this, he took out a crystal-clear jade pen, which was the Law Treasure of the Sage Scholar. With a gentle wave, a transparent and profound line appeared in the air, one end connected to Erlang Shen and the other end connected to himself.

Erlang Shen's Heavenly Eye naturally witnessed this scene, but he could neither dodge it nor sever the thread. This thread was woven by Qi Chun using the power of destiny, temporarily connecting their fates together.

"It's just a thread of fate; our destinies are now intertwined. Of course, I don't have the ability to share my destiny with the God of War of Heavenly Court, but I've only connected a small part of your destiny, which is about the mark."

"If you remove my mark, your mark will also be removed, then we'll both become ordinary people fighting!" Qi Chun explained.

Erlang Shen's face instantly turned ugly; he hadn't expected Qi Chun to have such methods.

This means that if he forcibly erases Qi Chun's mark, his own mark will also disappear at the same time, and he will lose all his cultivation and power, becoming an ordinary person.

"You actually possessed such mysterious power!" Erlang Shen's voice was filled with shock and resentment.

Qi Chun smiled slightly, his eyes full of contempt. "Surprised? If you were in this kind of high-pressure environment for a long time, you would also become much stronger. But you gods shouldn't be able to improve your strength anymore, right? Do you still dare to erase my mark?"

Erlang Shen fell silent, his face terribly grim. Indeed, he hadn't improved his strength in a long time.

Just then, Erlang Shen suddenly roared, and countless rays of light instantly poured down from the sky. Qi Chun's pupils constricted sharply; this was an attempt to erase the mark from the entire world!

His heart sank, knowing that Erlang Shen was indeed cautious enough. Although he claimed to be invincible, he was still afraid that if he only eliminated the marks of two people, others would make their move. Therefore, the safest course of action was to eliminate the marks of everyone. In this way, Erlang Shen's physical body would indeed be the strongest in this world!

Qi Chun felt helpless; they still couldn't defeat Erlang Shen. As a mere scholar, he naturally had no chance of beating Erlang Shen.

"Ye Jing, prepare to escape..." he shouted.

But the light from the sky had already descended upon them.

"Snap."

The sound of cracking echoed within their bodies as the marks on them were forcibly erased.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the Spiritual Qi on Qi Chun and Ye Jing was drawn into their bodies, and they plummeted downwards from the sky. The same was true for Erlang Shen; even Saint could not resist the constraints of the world.

He's become an ordinary person who can only rely on his physical body!

Qi Chun felt a wave of despair wash over him; he was truly at his wit's end. He looked at Ye Jing, preparing to ask him if he had any last words.

But the next second, his pupils suddenly contracted!

He noticed that Ye Jing was radiating Divine Light, and Sword Qi was spreading from his hands!

Qi Chun's eyes were filled with disbelief. Why could Ye Jing still use Spiritual Qi, unaffected by the shattered mark?

Erlang Shen was equally shocked, staring blankly at the guy in front of him who resembled the God of God of War even more than himself.

What's going on?

Even a Saint like myself is bound by the constraints of the world, so why shouldn't Ye Jing be exempt?

But he didn't have time to think, and Ye Jing charged towards him with his sword in hand.
