Yinshang Cave Heaven, atop Guyun Peak.
Wu Xu Hong held a silver Bagua Mirror in his left hand, while blood flowed from the index finger of his right.
He used his bleeding index finger to write ancient runes on the Bagua Mirror with the speed and grace of a dragon and snake.
After the runes were combined, wisps of blood-red light ignited from the Bagua Mirror, converging in the void.
"Buzz—"
The next moment, the numerous blood-red lights formed a blood-colored totem in the air, shaped like a '?'.
Each corner of the totem was a large red dot.
The red dots were as large as washbasins, and within them, indistinct, skull-like entities let out ferocious roars.
Wu Xu Hong was completely unfazed by this scene.
"Gather the Spirit of Seven Souls, sever the Root of Six Paths! Hua Ziyan, this time, you won't escape! I shall use your Chaos Holy Blood to nourish my Soul of Hidden Puppets!"
"Hua Yunxiao, you never imagined that the young man whose cultivation you crippled and left for dead in the wilderness, would now have inherited destiny and become the candidate for the new generation Ancient Emperor of the Heavenly Blood Ancient Clan, did you?"
Wu Xu Hong thought of the past years when he had changed his appearance and lived in obscurity alongside the young master, and couldn't help but feel his emotions surge.
The corner of his mouth twisted into a sinister, cold smile, like that of a war god.
"Begin gathering the spirits, and seize the opportunity to strike!"
His eyes turned blood-red as he remotely controlled the seven Puppet Death Warriors, preparing to launch a fatal blow at the approaching Hua Ziyan.
However, at the critical moment, the void suddenly trembled, followed by the phantom image of a spear, carrying myriad dao marks and the ultimate will of slaughter, traversing the sky and instantly attacking.
"Boom—"
The void annihilated, and the seven Golden Core Puppet Death Warriors were actually split apart by the spear on the spot, instantly disintegrating into endless flesh and blood powder, turning into blood mist that flew through the void.
"Crack—"
"Pfft—"
The silver Bagua Mirror suddenly shattered like a spiderweb, and at the same time, the totem in the void exploded into a cloud of blood mist with a "puff."
Simultaneously, Wu Xu Hong's entire body shook violently, and the light in his eyes instantly dimmed.
A series of dull explosive sounds, "puff puff puff," suddenly came from his body!
A total of seven explosions, connected into a continuous sound, like small-scale internal gas explosions!
"Plop—"
Wu Xu Hong couldn't withstand the backlash and immediately knelt on the ground. He quickly drew a sword and thrust it into the ground, barely managing to keep himself from falling!
"Damn it—why did it fail?! Who leaked the secret?! Who?!"
"Didn't Master Zheng Xuan say that this was the best opportunity to trigger Hua Ziyan's tribulation, and that she was bound to perish?"
Wu Xu Hong was shocked and enraged, and extremely unwilling.
However, the extreme pain from the backlash quickly drowned out his unwillingness and anger, causing him to instinctively let out wails like those of a vengeful spirit...
Wanli Holy Land is located in the Wuyue Mountain Range area outside Wuyue City.
The Wuyue Mountain Range is winding and twisting, resembling a coiled dragon lying on the ground, with intricate roots extending for thousands of miles. It is shrouded in white mist year-round, making it quite mysterious.
Here, the Spiritual Qi is dense, the environment is beautiful, and it also possesses characteristics of the wondrous, elegant, and perilous, like a true paradise on earth.
Su Li had been invited here for three days.
However, this world was extremely dangerous, and Su Li did not actively leave—with his abilities, if no one escorted him by flying, it would take at least ten years to walk back to the Silent Ancient Temple on Luoxia Mountain.
During these three days, Hua Ziyan and Mu Yuxi had been constantly by Su Li's side, not cultivating, nor participating in any trials.
Even the trial for the true disciples of Wanli Holy Land had been temporarily canceled.
Time quickly passed, arriving at September 1st, 3030, Yunhuang Calendar, at 13:37.
The back mountain of Wanli Holy Land, a forbidden area.
"Time is almost up."
Hua Yunxiao stood with his hands behind his back, his deep eyes gazing at the void ahead.
That area was where the Blazing Wasteland was located.
"Sir, twenty breaths remaining."
Yun Wanchu said respectfully.
Hua Yunxiao did not respond, his expression gradually becoming solemn.
Yun Wanchu also stopped speaking and instead focused his gaze, holding his breath, and looking intently at that area.
"Boom—"
The moment the time officially arrived, the void in the distance suddenly trembled, followed by a destructive white light, crushing the nine heavens and ten earths, erupting in the distance.
The immense commotion shook the entire Wanli Holy Land as if a magnitude ten earthquake had occurred.
In this situation, the Sect Protection Array of Wanli Holy Land automatically activated, releasing a powerful protective light.
At the same time, the sect's warning bells spontaneously rang out with a 'dang dang dang' sound.
"Crack—"
In the distant void, amidst the extreme white light, a terrifying black hole tore open!
From within the black hole, a stone tablet, a full ten thousand meters in size, like a pillar propping up heaven and earth, violently smashed down.
"Rumble—"
World-ending energy transformed into an endless, rampant extreme storm, surging in all directions.
Wherever the violent energy passed, all things in the world were annihilated, turning into dark ruins.
Hua Yunxiao's pupils contracted violently. Just as he was about to unleash protective measures to shield Wanli Holy Land from the invasion, the next moment, another stream of green light enveloped the destructive energy in all directions, and with a sudden contraction, it pulled back!
Then, the boundless, destructive, violent energy storm was completely suppressed on the spot and, in the next moment, simply vanished.
Everything returned to peace within the span of a breath.
However, the expanse of dark ruins in the distance served as complete proof that what had happened before was not an illusion!
"Even this was predicted accurately?!"
"This time, I gave up on going to the Blazing Wasteland and instead quietly leaked the information, attracting a group of true disciples from Yinshang Cave Heaven and the Heavenly Blood Ancient Clan... These people should have been wiped out!"
"This Master Su's, Su Li's, divination ability is truly terrifying! He probably has an incredibly high talent in divination!"
"Yan'er has met her destined Dao companion this time!"
"It's just that this Master Su seems to be incompatible with the laws of the world, able to shield himself from all Dao techniques and Heavenly Secrets. How can he then embark on the path of cultivation?"
"If he cannot embark on the path of cultivation, with his powerful divination abilities and the corresponding consumption, how long can he live?"
"Perhaps it's precisely because his talent in divination mutated, with abilities beyond imagination, that he has been greatly suppressed in his cultivation."
Hua Yunxiao had lived for nearly a thousand years, and there were few moments that had moved him so deeply.
But at this moment, due to this change in the world, his impression of 'Su Li' suddenly became exceptionally profound!
If Hua Yunxiao felt this way, let alone Yun Wanchu!
In Yun Wanchu's heart, Su Li's divination ability was now on par with Zhuge Wuwei, the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion!
"Xiao Chu, come, let's go meet that Master Su and thank him for saving our lives."
"Yes, my lord."
"Oh, right. Afterwards, you can take Yun Qingxuan and the others to pay a visit to Master Su. Under normal circumstances, they would have also faced certain doom this time. Since their lives were saved by Master Su, they should remember this karmic debt."
"Rest assured, my lord, your subordinate has already taken this matter to heart."
