A fallen leaf drifted slowly down through the air.
It was as though someone had cast a delay spell on the leaf, making it exceptionally slow.
And it was not just the leaf. It seemed as if everything in heaven and earth had been delayed in an instant, slowing down.
"The profound meaning of speed and slowness?" Ji Ruobing said with a frown.
The jade flute rang out across heaven and earth, as if recounting the tale of a hunter pursuing prey.
The flute melody was tight and tense, like the pipa.
Desiring to drink, the pipa urged the riders on horseback... Since ancient times, how many had returned from war?
As the flute sounded, even Ji Ruobing's movements were affected.
The Ten Thousand Calamities Cone, which had originally spun at high speed, rotated more and more slowly.
Even the power of the lightning tribulation that appeared in the sky weakened considerably.
The sword-wielding man broke free from the swamp lightning tribulation, his greatsword sweeping through the air.
"Dark Night Chaotic Kill."
The sword vanished, and then the man vanished as well.
Immediately afterward, countless sword intents appeared in the sky, converging from every direction.
They surrounded Ji Ruobing.
What followed was a scene of frenzied swords dancing wildly.
The clanging cries of swords rang out without end.
They echoed through the hollow void.
After dodging several attacks in succession, Ji Ruobing was ultimately struck by a sword.
The other party was too fast. Even Xu Zimo could only vaguely make out a few afterimages.
Xu Zimo had always believed that there was an insurmountable heavenly chasm between the Divine Meridian Realm and Immortal Ascension.
Yet some prodigies of the Divine Meridian Realm could challenge Immortal Ascension experts across realms.
But those they challenged were only ordinary Immortal Ascension experts.
