The moment the butterfly shattered the dragon, a violent energy shockwave exploded outwards from the point, and the void cracked like a shattered mirror, revealing countless fine lines. Even the distant stars seemed to tremble slightly from the shock.
Holding the Luo Chuan Luo God Sword, Luo Chuan was thrown back by the force of the recoil. With each step he took, the ground beneath his feet collapsed, instantly forming bottomless ravines from which magma surged.
That breakthrough just now was like a final burst of energy before death; although it briefly improved his realm, it also depleted his already exhausted life force.
At this moment, his immortal energy was completely depleted, with only a faint but indomitable sword intent remaining from the sword light that the Luo God Sword Immortal Essence unleashed at the critical moment.
Tian Yunzi stood still, his robes fluttering, completely unaffected. He then watched the disappearing butterfly shadow, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.
It was as if the earth-shattering collision just now was nothing more than child's play.
Tian Yunzi slowly raised his uninjured hand, his fingertips shimmering with celestial light, and a new celestial sword materialized, its tip pointing directly at Luo Chuan's heart. A chilling killing intent, like frost and snow in winter, instantly enveloped the entire area.
Even ants try to survive, yet you insist on throwing an egg against a rock.
Tian Yunzi's voice was old and cold, carrying an indifference that looked down upon all living beings, as he said, "Today, I will show you what the true laws of heaven and earth are."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Yunzi transformed into a streak of light, moving at an extreme speed. The surrounding space twisted and distorted due to his rapid movement, emitting a piercing shriek.
Luo Chuan's pupils contracted sharply. He could feel the overwhelming aura of death emanating from him, a kind of oppressive force that made even the soul tremble.
Luo Chuan took a deep breath, a breath that almost drained the last bit of life from his lungs, and then poured it all, along with the last bit of sharpness of the Luo God Sword, into the tip of the sword.
" Tian Yunzi... come to battle!"
With a hoarse roar, Luo Chuan Luo God Sword, launched his final and most resolute charge against Tian Yunzi.
A man and a sword collided violently in the void.
There was no earth-shattering roar, only a humming sound that seemed to come from the depths of the soul.
The moment the Luo God Sword and the Immortal Sword clashed, the space within a radius of ten thousand miles instantly froze, and time seemed to stand still.
Luo Chuan could clearly feel a vast, ocean-like surge of immortal power flowing into his body through the sword hilt.
The torn meridians were instantly burst by this force, blood stained his dantian, and his consciousness began to dissipate rapidly.
"I can't die... I absolutely can't die!"
Just a second before Luo Chuan's consciousness was about to completely sink into darkness, the Luo God Sword, which had accompanied him in countless battles, suddenly burst forth with an unprecedentedly dazzling light.
The light was no longer blue, but transformed into a seven-colored divine light that encompassed all the colors of the world, like the first ray of dawn after the creation of the world.
"This is..." Tian Yunzi's expression changed slightly, and for the first time, surprise appeared in his eyes.
Luo Chuan felt as if his body was being lifted up by this divine light, and his originally depleted immortal Immortal Essence was instantly replenished, even stronger than at his peak.
At this moment, his cultivation level soared at an unbelievable speed, reaching the peak of the Sunie Realm, until he broke through and stepped into a completely new realm— the Heavenly Human Realm!
Reborn from the ashes, returning in the flames!
Luo Chuan slowly opened his eyes. In his right eye, it seemed as if stars were fading and the Great Dao was flowing.
"How is this possible?! You were clearly at your last gasp, how could you possibly break through to the first stage of the First Decay of Heaven and Man Realm at this moment?!"
Tian Yunzi exclaimed in shock, his face filled with disbelief. He had meticulously planned for so many years, all for this day. He absolutely could not allow Luo Chuan to live!
Tian Yunzi's eyes flashed with killing intent, and he no longer held back, unleashing his most powerful forbidden technique.
Suddenly, the immortal aura around him turned pitch black, a ghostly aura that devoured everything.
Tian Yunzi rapidly formed hand seals and chanted obscure incantations, instantly draining the spiritual energy of the entire world.
In the void, a huge black vortex appeared, within which countless vengeful ghosts roared, trying to devour everything.
" The Underworld Heaven-Devouring Dao!"
Tian Yunzi roared, and the black vortex suddenly expanded, fiercely engulfing Luo Chuan.
Wherever it passed, stars went out, the earth collapsed, and all things perished.
Luo Chuan held the Luo God Sword calmly, then slowly raised his right hand. The surging energy spread outwards like a raging storm, distorting the air wherever it passed.
Just then, the void rippled again, and this time, a figure dressed in Huang Long Daoist robe slowly emerged from the void.
His face was blurry, and his specific features were unclear, but he gave people a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze. Nine small golden dragons were coiled around his body, each of them exuding a terrifying aura.
It is none other than the True Person Huanglong!
True Person Huanglong's gaze swept across the entire scene, finally landing on Tian Yunzi. His gaze was calm and unwavering, yet it instilled in Tian Yunzi a sense of awe that rose from the depths of his soul.
" Tian Yunzi, as the Heavenly Fate Sect, instead of seeking to benefit all living beings, you covet your disciples' inheritance and harm your fellow disciples. You deserve to die a thousand deaths."
True Person Huanglong's voice was gentle, yet carried an undeniable authority. "However, out of consideration for your affiliation with the Tianyun Sect, this Holy Emperor will spare your life. Now, get out of here."
Tian Yunzi's face turned deathly pale, and he staggered back two steps, a barely perceptible glint of coldness flashing in his eyes. "Supreme Emperor Lu Yun of the Vermilion Bird Holy Sect... I didn't expect you to come too."
The Vermilion Bird Holy Emperor's strength is at the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, while even if Tian Yunzi were to advance to the fourth stage of the decline of the Heavenly Human Realm, he would still be no match for True Person Huanglong.
In addition, the previous battle had taken a heavy toll on him, leaving him no chance to contend with True Person Huanglong. Moreover, he was currently at his limit, and if he continued to stay here, he would likely suffer a miserable death.
Tian Yunzi was filled with resentment, but he was helpless. He could only glare fiercely at Luo Chuan and say angrily, " Luo Chuan, you brat, I'll spare your life today, but next time we meet, I'll grind you to dust!"
True Person Huanglong did not look at Tian Yunzi, but instead looked at Luo Chuan. When his gaze fell on Luo Chuan, especially on the Luo God Sword, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.
"Ancestor, I never expected that after a thousand years, you would have already broken through to the realm of the First Decay of Heaven and Man. Hehehe, you truly deserve to be the ancestor of my Hengyue Sect."
Luo Chuan struggled to his feet, looked at True Person Huanglong before him, and said with a bitter smile, " Vermilion Bird Holy Emperor Lu Yun, hehe, back then you infiltrated Vermilion Bird Planet, it must have been for the sake of the Immortal Remnant Clan, right?"
Seeing that Luo Chuan already knew, True Person Huanglong didn't hide it anymore. After all, his identity had already been exposed, so there was no need to continue hiding it.
"Ancestor, you may not know this, but when I visited Vermilion Bird Planet back then, it was mainly for the sake of the Immortal Remnant Clan."
