The Ruthless Great Emperor Was Disfigured

Xu Changqing unleashed the Emperor's Fall Phenomenon. Ripples trembled through his constitution as he suppressed the Woman in White in every aspect. Boundless Saber Intent boiled around him.

Every strand of his hair gleamed, and with each sway, it cleaved apart the cosmic void. His entire body stood in the universe like a Heavenly Saber.

His white hair streamed wildly, divine light blooming in his eyes. His left hand gripped the Saber Sheath, while his right rested on the transparent hilt atop it.

By now, the Woman in White had long since walked her own path. Fortunately, it was not yet perfect.

The Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art was her Dao Attainment Method. Yet because she had not crossed hands with the various members of the Younger Generation for a long time and lacked such experience, her art was destined to remain imperfect.

"Buzz!"

The Woman in White brought her hands together. Her eyes shone like Divine Lamps, Chaos Qi spilling from their corners. Her proud figure stood tall, while the Great Dao Treasure Bottle above her head spun rapidly.

The aura of Heavenly Tribulation surged from the bottle's mouth. Dense runes glowed around its opening, aimed directly at Xu Changqing.

Then she formed seals with both hands. Boundless runes danced everywhere, all manner of order falling into disarray, before an suction force more terrifying than a black hole erupted toward Xu Changqing.

"Whoosh..."

Suction force burst from the mouth of the Great Dao Treasure Bottle, swallowing everything in the Starry Sky. Vast stretches of starlight turned into streams, huge swaths of meteors crumbled into dust, and the river of stars flowed backward.

However, even with her Dao arts being so powerful, against Xu Changqing she could only unleash eighty percent of her strength.

Xu Changqing felt his origin being tugged, as though it were about to be absorbed. His Primordial Spirit seemed ready to leave his Physical Body, and even his blood was being drawn away.

Without the slightest hesitation, he forcefully drew the blade from the Saber Sheath toward the Great Dao Treasure Bottle.

"Screech!"

The Transparent Long Saber had only emerged a little when the heavens and earth instantly turned blank and white, filled with all kinds of Saber Intent that tore through the Cosmic Firmament.

From far away, living beings on certain Ancient Stars along the Trial Path could see a stunning flash of saber light slash across the universe, splitting the river of stars in two and tearing the clouds apart.

"Boom!"

When that terrifying attack collided with the Great Dao Treasure Bottle, even more terrifying aftershocks burst forth in an instant!

Yet the Great Dao Treasure Bottle seemed capable of devouring anything, swallowing seventy to eighty percent of the Heaven Pulling Art's power!

"Bang!"

But because of this, the incomplete Great Dao Treasure Bottle exploded outright.

Seeing this, the Woman in White took a step with her long legs and shifted sideways backward. The Bronze Sword appeared in her hand again, and she raised it before her.

"Dong!"

Xu Changqing suddenly appeared and punched the Bronze Sword. The Immense Force directly bent the Bronze Sword.

The Woman in White turned into a streak of white light and, with a bang, slammed straight into a meteor. A trace of blood spilled from her lips, and her Physical Body went numb.

The instant the Woman in White was sent flying, Xu Changqing extended his arm. The Bone Saber returned to his hand, and he bent low as he charged forward.

Endless holy light bloomed from the saber tip, illuminating the universe.

An exceptionally powerful aura erupted, like Heaven's Will enraged, yet also like Heavenly Tribulation descending. Though no Attack Form appeared, it still made the Woman in White feel a chill and stabbing pain.

Heaven's Will Saber Art fused with the Sword Drawing Technique!

An ultimate, dazzling saber light appeared once more, targeting the Woman in White in every aspect!

Her Physical Body, Primordial Spirit, Dao arts, and even her emotions!

It could not be seen or touched, like a spring breeze brushing past her, yet she could clearly feel that vast and majestic Heaven's Will.

Though the Woman in White's expression was incomparably solemn, she still formed seals with both hands. This was her first great battle with Xu Changqing, so she was not very familiar with his Dao arts. Moreover, he could suppress her strength.

She could only unleash eighty percent of her power, while Xu Changqing was at his peak.

In this exchange, she had fallen into a disadvantage.

If they fought a few more times and she had prepared herself, she would not have been so badly disadvantaged.

"Myriad Transformations Saint Art!" the Woman in White cried softly. She formed seals with both hands, her white robes fluttering while her glossy black hair was whipped about by Heaven's Will's Divine Might.

This was a Secret Technique she had created while traveling through the Starry Sky. This technique was ever-changing, without Fixed Patterns, and possessed unimaginable power. It could transform all secret methods beneath heaven and infinitely weaken an opponent's combat strength.

It turned every World-shocking Marvelous Art into something mundane. The Myriad Transformations Saint Art restrained all manner of Divine Abilities and Secret Techniques beneath heaven!

Unfortunately, it was still not complete.

Xu Changqing's expression changed as well. He had not expected her to create this Secret Technique so quickly. This technique was precisely the bane of his Heaven's Will Saber Art.

"Boom!"

The Woman in White swept both hands, tracing an arc through the dark, icy universe. That endless saber light, those invisible and densely packed long sabers, all manifested as runes.

In the end, a strange power dissolved most of their force.

But with only eighty percent of her strength, and with this art having just been created and still incomplete, she could only dissolve fifty percent of its power.

Even so, it was terrifying enough—revealing invisible attacks in the form of runes.

Her figure was dreamlike and illusory as she stepped with Lotus Steps, her entire body seeming to turn unreal. The dense great sabers in the sky began to merge into one, forming a Transparent Long Saber that locked directly onto her.

"Screech!"

The Heaven's Will Saber Art descended!

Its vast, majestic aura carried the flavor of Heavenly Tribulation, as though it were carrying out Heaven's punishment.

"Boom!"

The next moment, the Woman in White knew she could not evade it at all. That chill, enough to make every hair on her body stand on end, hung over her head. No matter where she went, she could not escape it.

Since that was the case, she could only use this move.

The Woman in White stopped. An unprecedentedly grave expression appeared on her exquisitely beautiful face, her glossy black hair standing upright as endless dazzling light continuously erupted from her body.

In an instant, she entered the Divine Prohibition realm and unleashed an even more terrifying Secret Technique.

Heaven Slaying Dao!

This was a supremely terrifying divine art, a Taboo chapter of the Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art she had created. She had created it when she broke through to become a Saint and created the Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art, even earlier than the Myriad Transformations Saint Art.

This art was the Dao of slaying Heaven. Its offensive power, control, divine power, and every other aspect were fully enhanced. Having already entered Divine Prohibition, she rose once more.

She directly recovered her peak state, causing Xu Changqing's suppression to weaken somewhat.

Xu Changqing naturally noticed the Woman in White's combat strength soaring. Without hesitation, he pressed his palms together, his ten fingers forming seals like butterflies, so quickly that afterimages appeared.

Several colors of mist began to emerge around his butterfly-wing-like fingers, while several figures slowly appeared at his side.

The white-haired man within the Emperor's Fall Phenomenon moved as well, rising from the Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood. The imprints of the Ancient Emperors within it also appeared, standing beside Xu Changqing.

Then more than a dozen figures appeared around Xu Changqing. Six of them looked exactly like him, though each radiated a different aura.

Five of the figures were his Dao Palace Divine Beings, each exuding the aura of ultimate emotions. A single glance would make one either happy, sorrowful, or filled with love.

Both sides were verifying their own Dao arts.

The Woman in White was using Xu Changqing to perfect her Dao arts, and Xu Changqing was doing the same.

"Screech!"

Immortal Light burst from the Woman in White as the Heaven Slaying Dao Secret Technique fused with the Demonic Art Origin Technique. Then the Great Dao Treasure Bottle appeared again!

Black light bloomed from the treasure bottle, its power strange and unfathomable. All kinds of rosy light flew from its mouth, becoming thousands upon thousands of immortal blades. Some took dragon form, some phoenix form, throwing heaven and earth into chaos. Whatever they encountered, they cut; whatever they touched, they killed!

Xu Changqing's Dao Palace Divine Beings unleashed obscure Profound Techniques. The five figures surrounded the Woman in White, while the Ancient Emperors emerging from the Emperor's Fall Phenomenon charged forward with weapons in hand.

"Boom!"

A world-shocking battle erupted once more, even more intense than before. Heaven Slaying Dao faced several Divine Beings and Great Emperor imprints.

The living being formed from Heaven Slaying Dao battled the imprints of the Ancient Great Emperors, while the Woman in White unleashed another profound art, restraining the Dao Palace Divine Beings as she fought Xu Changqing's true body.

Two streams of light shifted through the dark universe, erupting into great collisions of Divine Abilities from time to time. The Woman in White continuously used all kinds of strange Dao arts, and Xu Changqing did the same.

First movement techniques, then defense, and finally every aspect.

"Clang, clang..."

The Bronze Sword collided with the Bone Saber, the Great Dao Treasure Bottle collided with saber light, and the clashes of all kinds of Divine Abilities and Secret Techniques made the dark Starry Sky blaze with brilliance.

In the end, the Heaven Slaying Dao Secret Technique and Xu Changqing's humanoid Secret Technique battled until they vanished completely.

Seeing this, the Woman in White blocked one wave of Xu Changqing's attacks before directly retreating. The aura around her quietly began to change.

At this moment, both of them were already injured.

Blood stained the Woman in White's body. Several saber scars appeared on her peerlessly beautiful face, making her look exceptionally ferocious. Her white robes were bloodstained, and her glossy black hair had been severed by Saber Intent.

Xu Changqing's arm was twisted, his chest had caved in, and several of his ribs were broken.

Yet his injuries were not as serious as the Woman in White's. Not only had his saber struck her face, it had also cut her neck, thighs, and back.

Blood dripped down the Woman in White's face, but she did not care about her appearance or injuries. Her deep autumn eyes quietly watched Xu Changqing.

From the start of their battle until now, they had only exchanged words once.

The Woman in White wore bloodstained white robes. Saber marks covered her once exquisite and peerlessly beautiful face, stretching from the right side of her face all the way to the chin on the left. Several saber scars deep enough to reveal bone marked her smooth, jade-white forehead.

A long saber wound slithered across her jade-white tender hand like a serpent, blood flowing endlessly from it.

Three deep saber wounds marked her back.

Yet none of this affected her. She still looked so perfect, possessing a hazy beauty, an inviolable holy purity, and a frenzied demonic nature. It was a contradiction.

Xu Changqing frowned when he saw a hazy, ethereal air beginning to appear around the Woman in White. The demonic nature around her had vanished.

Gorgeous, tender petals appeared one after another in the Starry Sky. Countless petals emerged, surging out around her in great swaths like peach blossoms.

One Immortal Flower after another bloomed, each petal crystalline and dancing in the air.

The dark and icy Starry Sky seemed to have entered spring.

Xu Changqing's expression grew even more solemn, but he quickly calmed down. This battle should end now.

"A Thought Blooms, Reign Over the World!"

The Woman in White possessed peerless grace. Even with ferocious saber scars on her face, merely looking at her figure gave one the sense of an inviolable celestial maiden. She possessed the madness of a demon and the ethereal grace of an immortal.

The next moment, the petals around her began transforming into true bodies. Every one of them could become a true body, their Dao entering its divine essence.

This was her proudest Secret Technique, a divine art she regarded as her trump card, created when she Severed Dao.

She wanted to see exactly how Xu Changqing would deal with it!
