Chapter 479
Following the starlight, Xiao Minghuang traveled at top speed.
Along the way, she also noticed the earth-shattering battle taking place on her body. It was a battle between immortal venerables. Although they were separated by a great distance, it was still awe-inspiring and terrifying.
Rumble!!!
Deafening explosions resounded through the heavens and shook the universe. A wave of destruction surged forth, sweeping across all directions. Stars around them shattered and turned to ashes, and a distant continent was reduced to dust. Smoke and dust filled the air, obscuring the sun.
Behind her, terrifying shocks swept across the heavens and earth, and all sorts of horrifying phenomena intertwined and appeared.
Xiao Minghuang suddenly turned around and saw a series of horrifying scenes. The terrifying waves scattered the eight directions and six realms, tearing the sky to shreds. No grass grew where they reached, and great rivers steamed, as hot as lava.
"Immortal Venerable Wu Chang!"
A hint of apprehension flashed across Xiao Minghuang's eyes, and a sense of unease arose in her heart.
"It seems that an internal dispute arose among the three Immortal Venerables, which could not be resolved through reconciliation and could only be settled by force."
She certainly didn't believe that the three immortal venerables had a disagreement over how to treat her, which could lead to a major war.
There must be a deeper contradiction behind this.
"... Ah, what am I thinking?"
Xiao Minghuang shook her head, banishing these thoughts from her mind.
"Right now, the most important thing is to escape the New Shanhai Realm, return to the Heavenly Realm, and report these matters to the Longevity Heavenly Venerable!"
Thinking of this, Xiao Minghuang's speed increased, like a streak of light piercing the sky.
Soon.
Guided by the starlight, she arrived at a place high in the sky, high in the clouds.
When she arrived here, it was Void Bright Immortal Venerable who brought her here directly through a teleportation portal.
However, if one wants to leave alone, the only option is to forcibly break through the boundary barrier.
Xiao Minghuang looked around and could vaguely see the dark starry sky hidden behind the void.
"This should be the weakest point in the New Shanhai Realm."
She hesitated for a moment, then opened her arms, her whole body radiating a dazzling and brilliant Divine Glow. Stars floated out, circling her body in concentric circles, making her appear hazy and dreamlike.
Immediately afterwards, a short bow and a long sword appeared in her hands, both gleaming with a dazzling light, as if containing some kind of peculiar rhythm.
"To break through the barrier protected by the laws of the Immortal Venerable, I must fight with all my might!"
Xiao Minghuang's eyes flickered, and a thought crossed her mind.
Instantly, the countless stars surrounding her gathered in her hands like flowing water.
"Sword, bow, aid me!"
She spoke softly, her beautiful face serene and solemn.
The Starry Sky Divine Bow was drawn halfway, and strands of starlight fell, making her skin appear snow-white and translucent.
However.
Just then...
An immense force swept over, seemingly causing everything in heaven and earth to spin. The void trembled, as if it could not bear the oppressive force.
Suddenly, Xiao Minghuang felt a chill run down her spine.
She turned around and saw a golden light shooting towards her.
In the blink of an eye, the golden light expanded countless times, transforming into a colossal giant that reached the heavens and the earth.
It was none other than the Immortal Venerable Wu Chang!
"Found you!"
Immortal Venerable Wu Chang's face was grim, his eyes sharp as lightning. He struck out with a palm, and a colossal palm, hundreds of millions of feet tall, swept across the area.
Rumble!!
A vast and unfathomable power erupted, seemingly threatening to devour the heavens!
"So fast!"
Xiao Minghuang's beautiful eyes narrowed. Without thinking twice, she turned the sword around, released the bowstring, and a crystal-clear arrow burst forth, shooting out like a falling star.
Boom!!
The moment the two collided, the explosion was deafening.
Seiya charged forward relentlessly, piercing deep into the giant hand and unleashing boundless brilliance, tearing it apart!
Instantly.
The giant hand exploded, sending violent aftershocks sweeping across the sky, utterly devastating.
Click, click~
As the impact swept in, Xiao Minghuang immediately activated the Great Zhou Heavenly Star Chart to firmly protect her entire body and withstand the aftershocks.
Pity.
The aftershocks were far too powerful and terrifying.
Even with the protection of Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure like the Great Zhou Heavenly Star Chart, it couldn't guarantee complete safety. A dense layer of tiny cracks quickly spread from Xiao Minghuang's body, covering her entire body in the blink of an eye.
"Pfft!!"
Golden blood gushed out.
Her entire body flew backward and crashed heavily to the ground.
"Cough cough!!"
A sharp pain struck, causing Xiao Minghuang to cough up a mouthful of blood, her face turning pale.
So strong!
Is this the Celestial Venerable?
She was injured by just one blow!
Xiao Minghuang struggled to her feet. Her entire body was covered with dense cracks, from which beams of brilliant golden light shot out, overflowing with Immortal Dao Law. She was clearly seriously injured.
But.
The combined power of the ancient characters for sword and bow, along with the supreme immortal Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure, the Great Zhou Heavenly Star Chart, was extraordinary. With a single strike, it pierced through the mountain-like giant palm of Immortal Venerable Wu Chang.
Most of the injuries Xiao Minghuang suffered were from the aftershocks of Immortal Venerable Wu Chang's attack; the main damage was blocked.
However, although she appeared to be seriously injured, none of her injuries were fundamental.
Therefore, Xiao Minghuang recovered almost instantly after absorbing the two immortal herbs.
The cracks on his body that had revealed the Immortal Dao Law were completely healed in the blink of an eye.
Only.
At this moment, she was disheveled, her clothes were torn and ripped, and she looked extremely disheveled.
Xiao Minghuang raised her eyes and looked towards the horizon, where stood a figure that was ethereal yet infinitely majestic.
She was completely unprepared for the attack just now, and in fact, she hadn't gone all out.
If she could do it all over again, she was confident she could hold her own and wouldn't be in such a sorry state.
"Huh? He's still alive?"
High above the heavens, the Immortal Venerable Wu Chang strode down.
At this moment, he had already deactivated his giant form and returned to the size of a normal person, but the overwhelming aura emanating from him was still terrifying.
Every move it made gave people a feeling of the sky collapsing and the earth splitting apart, like an indestructible divine peak.
His gaze was icy, locking onto Xiao Minghuang in an instant, his killing intent fully revealed.
"If it weren't for you, my brothers and I wouldn't have turned against each other, and my son wouldn't have been so badly injured. You vile woman, you are truly heinous! If you don't die, my hatred will never be appeased!"
The Immortal Venerable Wu Chang's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He stomped his foot, and the entire sky suddenly trembled. Then he descended violently, grabbing down towards Xiao Minghuang.
572. Sword and Bow as One
With one claw extended, it blotted out the sky, like a five-fingered mountain suppressing the heavens, causing the void to groan as if it were about to collapse.
Before that claw even landed, Xiao Minghuang could feel an incredibly powerful sense of oppression coming towards him, as if he were about to suffocate!
"Hmph! You ants, you deserve to die!"
Immortal Venerable Wu Chang snorted coldly.
Xiao Minghuang remained unmoved, calming her mind and spirit. Above her head was the Great Zhou Heavenly Star Chart. She drew her bow and sword, and the boundless Power of Stars, almost draining all the Immortal Dao Law within her body, gathered on the sword and bow, bursting forth with dazzling starlight.
Those slender hands slowly drew the longbow until it was fully drawn, like a round moon; the string gradually bent, and then it was released...
Pfft~
In an instant, the void was pierced, and an invisible force suddenly erupted, transforming into an invisible arrow that pierced through heaven and earth, directly penetrating the void and shattering nothingness.
This arrow far surpassed the first arrow shot earlier, and even exceeded the limits of the Immortal King realm!
This arrow, like a falling star or a descending galaxy, possessed earth-shattering power as it shot towards Immortal Venerable Wu Chang.
Rumble!!
The void trembled, as if pierced by this arrow.
Such an arrow is enough to shatter a vast world, and can even easily kill a Celestial King!
Even the Immortal Venerable Wu Chang was taken aback.
However, he was a true Immortal Venerable, and although he was startled by this sudden attack, he reacted in an instant.
He waved his right hand in the air, and a long golden rope shot out, like a dragon writhing and swirling in the wind. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a glittering golden divine chain, which stretched out in front of him, protecting him completely.
Thud--
The next moment.
The arrow finally pierced through, striking the divine chains hard.
Instantly, the sound of metal clashing resounded throughout the eight directions, and the void shook violently.
Endless divine light surged, tearing countless cracks into the surrounding void.
A visible ripple spread rapidly in all directions from the point of impact, shattering space wherever it passed.
This world seemed poised to collapse, vanish, and disappear at any moment!
"Hiss--"
Upon seeing this, all the creatures within the New Shanhai Realm couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.
Even from a great distance, one could feel the terrifying power of this mysterious arrow.
That kind of power is simply unbelievable!
"Sister, the Ziwei Immortal King is so powerful that he can actually withstand an Immortal Venerable!"
Immortal Venerable Zhi Ming looked slightly taken aback and said in shock.
Beside her, Void Bright Immortal Venerable also wore a look of astonishment, clearly not expecting that Ziwei Immortal King realm, could unleash power comparable to that of an Immortal Venerable!
"The bow and sword in her hands should bear the characters for 'sword' and 'bow,' and the starlight power seems to be activated by Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure... However, with the cultivation level of a Celestial King, she shouldn't be able to fully control the power of Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure, yet she wields them flawlessly, as if they were her own limbs..."
"Void Bright Immortal Venerable murmured."
"Sister, let's make a move quickly! Although the strength of the Ziwei Immortal King is unexpected, Wu Chang is, after all, an Immortal Venerable. Even if Purple Star can briefly contend with him, she is definitely no match for him!"
"Immortal Venerable Zhi Ming said repeatedly."
"... We must... maintain strategic focus... and not rush..."
