See the Great Way by Breaking Through Life and Death; Create the Future with the Nine-Turn Divine Art (Continued)

Spiritual Treasures that could kill without incurring Karma were exceedingly rare in the Primordial Wilderness. Aside from the God-Slaying Spear, Yun Xiao had never heard of a third one.

The Primordial Measure Heaven Ruler could be called the most perfect offensive Spiritual Treasure in the hearts of all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness!

And now, this Spiritual Treasure lay right before her, within reach. Even Yun Xiao, with her composed temperament, couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Immediately, she circulated the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique and cautiously reached toward the Primordial Measure Heaven Ruler.

It wasn't that she was being overly careful. The murderous aura around the Primordial Measure Heaven Ruler was simply too dense. As soon as she came within ten thousand zhang, it felt as if countless Divine Swords were slicing into her body!

Nine thousand zhang, eight thousand zhang, five thousand zhang, one thousand zhang...

The killing intent here had grown violently intense. Yet when it struck Yun Xiao, the Green Light of her profound technique dissolved it all.

Gradually, she drew within a hundred zhang of the Primordial Measure Heaven Ruler!

The space here was distorted to its limits. The killing intent had nearly solidified, transforming into swords, blades, spears, and other Divine Weapons that slashed at Yun Xiao!

"Law of Strength!"

Yun Xiao cried out. A mighty river flowed through her pupils, and a powerful force of law infused the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique. In an instant, the Green Light around her surged like a blazing flame!

The boundless, terrifying killing intent melted away completely as soon as it touched the Green Light!

Ninety zhang, fifty zhang, ten zhang...

Eight steps, seven steps...

"Clang—"

The next moment, a hand wreathed in blue flames clamped tightly around the Primordial Measure Heaven Ruler!

At the same time, a terrifying shockwave spread in every direction. The vast killing aura seemed poised to cleave Fangzhang Mountain in two and split the West Sea apart!

Yun Xiao poured the full power of the Law of Strength into her palm, gritting her teeth as she endured the onslaught of killing intent. All of Fangzhang Mountain trembled, and the Chaos Qi Stream raged, tearing through space!

One day, two days, three days... forty-nine days!

"Vmm—"

On this day, the Primordial Measure Heaven Ruler abruptly drew in all its killing aura and became an ordinary little ruler, lying quietly in Yun Xiao's palm. The entire immortal island grew peaceful once more.

"Phew!"

Yun Xiao let out a long breath. Sweat had already drenched her forehead.

As expected of a Merit Supreme Treasure. It certainly had a personality!

With that thought, Yun Xiao sent a wisp of her divine sense into the little ruler, intending to refine it.

But the next moment, her head suddenly rang, and her vision briefly went black.

She hadn't expected the Primordial Measure Heaven Ruler to contain killing aura inside as well. It had directly cut down a wisp of her divine sense!

"Such a personality!"

Yun Xiao's eyes shone. She immediately circulated the Nine Revolutions Primordial Technique, and her Primordial Spirit emerged from between her brows as a three-chi-tall figure. In its right hand, it held a divine chain formed from the Law of Strength; in its left, a Divine Sword formed from the Soul Capture minor divine ability. It charged straight at the Primordial Measure Heaven Ruler!

With so few spiritual fruits on hand, Yun Xiao had cultivated the Nine Revolutions Primordial Technique on Buzhou Mountain, but unlike her profound technique, it hadn't advanced. Her Primordial Spirit's cultivation was still at the early Golden Immortal stage.

But with the Nine Revolutions Primordial Technique empowering her Primordial Spirit, it was still several times stronger. Now that the Law of Strength empowered it too, even an ordinary Grand Unity Golden Immortal would find it difficult to destroy her Primordial Spirit with ease!

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

As soon as the three-chi-tall Primordial Spirit figure entered, metallic clashing rang out from within the Primordial Measure Heaven Ruler. Before long, a crisp crack sounded, and the first restriction broke!

Ten years later, the second restriction.

Fifty years later, the third.

A hundred years later, the fourth...

And so, after more than three hundred years, Yun Xiao's Primordial Spirit finally couldn't hold on after breaking the sixth restriction and flew back between her brows.

Like an Innate Supreme Treasure, a Postnatal Merit Supreme Treasure contained forty-nine restrictions within it. Only a Saint could refine one completely.

Even with all her enhancements, Yun Xiao had barely managed to break six restrictions, achieving only a preliminary refinement.

The power she could bring forth was probably no more than one ten-thousandth of its full strength.

But that one ten-thousandth was nothing to scoff at. After all, this was the peerlessly deadly Primordial Measure Heaven Ruler, a treasure even Saints coveted!

Even one ten-thousandth of its power was enough to give a Perfected Grand Unity Golden Immortal a serious headache!

"Three hundred years have passed before I knew it. It's time to leave."

Looking at the gray Chaos Qi Stream around her, Yun Xiao knew she'd obtained the only opportunity here. She flew toward the entrance.

Outside the restrictions of Fangzhang Island.

"Roar!"

At that moment, a "monster" was fighting Xiao Bai. It had the body of a tiger and the claws of a lion, but doglike fur. Its nose resembled a pig's, its uneven fangs filled its mouth, and every time it opened its jaws, foul-smelling drool spilled out.

But it was less a fight than a one-sided pursuit.

Though the monster was hideous, it possessed the might of a late-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal. If not for its poor intelligence and Xiao Bai's speed, Xiao Bai would have become its prey long ago.

Even so, beneath the monster's overwhelming pressure, Xiao Bai was slowing down. Whenever its claws so much as grazed it, a spray of blood burst forth!

At last, Xiao Bai let its guard down for a moment, and the monster struck it, smashing it hard into the ground.

It's over!

Despair filled its eyes. Its bloodied wings were already mangled beyond repair, leaving it no chance of escape.

Just as the monster's claws were about to come down on Xiao Bai—

"Boom!"

A streak of Green Light shot from behind, carrying unstoppable force. It blasted the monster's enormous body ten thousand zhang away!

Outside the restrictions, Yun Xiao saw Xiao Bai covered in wounds and narrowed her eyes. The next moment, azure Dao Light blazed around her like flames!

She walked slowly toward the monster. Each step released boundless killing intent!

"Roar!"

As Yun Xiao drew closer, the monster threw back its head and roared, sending waves soaring a million zhang into the air!

It said nothing. Its blood-red eyes fixed on Yun Xiao, as if its mind held no thought beyond slaughter.

Could this be a fierce beast?

Looking at the "monster's" bizarre appearance and the sky thick with dark clouds, Yun Xiao suddenly had a realization.

Dark clouds blotted out the sky, and the baleful aura of the world calamity grew ever denser. A blood-red tide was slowly advancing from the north, filled with an intensely ominous presence.

How fast. Have the fierce beasts already swept from the northern continent into the Western Land?

Yun Xiao narrowed her eyes, then set the thought aside and continued toward the fierce beast before her.

She didn't care how far the fierce beast tide had spread. She knew only that this fierce beast had dared to hurt her mount!

"Roar!"

Sensing Yun Xiao's powerful pressure, the fierce beast didn't retreat. Instead, its ferocity surged, and it charged at her first!

Its enormous body came crashing over like a mountain ridge, rumbling through the air with a deafening howl. The sight was terrifying.

Yun Xiao simply stood there without moving.

"Master!"

Seeing this, Xiao Bai cried out in alarm.

It had experienced firsthand how terrifying the "monster's" physical body was. Its master was powerful, but when she had subdued it, she hadn't exerted such terrifying pressure.

Close-quarters combat with a vicious beast like this was sure to end badly!

Before, it had worried about Yun Xiao because its Primordial Spirit imprint was still in her hands.

Now, it was genuinely worried for Yun Xiao's safety.

Her words, "I'll avenge you," had truly touched it!

After all, in Xiao Bai's view, who would risk fighting such a powerful and frenzied beast over the life of a mount?

"Thud!"

A muffled sound rang out as Yun Xiao and the fierce beast collided head-on!

When Xiao Bai saw the outcome, its expression instantly turned to shock!

Yun Xiao had actually punched straight through the fierce beast's enormous claw. Blood gushed down like a small river, staining a stretch of sea black.

The fierce beast roared again, its eyes growing even more vicious. Its injury did not make it retreat; instead, it became even more savage.

"Thud!"

Without a word, Yun Xiao drove forward with a fist empowered by the Law of Strength. Like a great wave crashing against the fierce beast, it sent blood pouring out and slammed its enormous body into the sea!
