More than a month had passed since Shi Hao and the others arrived in the Border Wasteland.
Throughout that month, cultivators from the various traditions of the Nine Heavens kept arriving, bringing life to the once-desolate Imperial Pass.
Battles played out every day, and the Dao Demonstration Arena was packed daily.
They were not merely there to join the excitement, but also to relieve their stress and adjust their condition in preparation for war!
During that month, cultivators from the Foreign Realm had been discovered gathering beyond the Border Wasteland, where it bordered the Foreign Realm. A great battle could erupt at any moment.
Shi Qingyun, meanwhile, had enjoyed a rare stretch of leisure that month. For him, ordinary arduous cultivation no longer did much good.
What mattered most was comprehension of the Great Dao, so Shi Qingyun either accompanied Demoness on walks or gathered with Shi Hao and the others to discuss Dao techniques.
Naturally, he also sparred with them, but having entered the Self-Slaying realm, he could thoroughly overpower Shi Hao and the others.
Even working together, they could barely last a few exchanges against him.
Boom-
An earth-shaking explosion rang out, and a figure hurtled through the void before crashing heavily into the ground.
"Pah, pah, pah-"
Shi Hao brushed away the dust rising around him and quickly stood up. Divine power surged as he charged straight at Shi Qingyun.
Terrifying sword light cleaved through the void, surrounded by an aura of reincarnation. Everything in its path rapidly entered a cycle of flourishing and withering.
Grass grew and withered; flowers bloomed and fell.
Facing the ferocious sword light, Shi Qingyun remained expressionless. He raised his foot and gently stamped the ground.
The surrounding Yin-Yang Great Dao immediately surged, transforming into sharp longswords that shot toward Shi Hao.
