This is the power to seize the heavens and earth, this is the condensation of the rules of the world, this is the will to pierce through space, this is the soul to merge with the laws!
Mid Tribulation Transcendence Stage Earth Immortal!
The Mount Emei disciples below were all dumbfounded, their faces filled with horror.
At this moment, reflected in their dazed eyes, a fallen star shone with endless light in the daytime, its aura comparable to the might of heaven, and its light comparable to the sun and moon!
The Power of Laws and the extraordinary phenomena of heaven and earth that it carries are far beyond what the great cultivators within the mountain sect can compare to.
Throughout history, when has such a giant ever appeared? Today, in the Mount Emei Range, Xu Long has deeply imprinted the phrase "earth-shaking" into the souls of countless people.
Many years may have passed, and the former disciples of Mount Emei may have shed their blue robes, but they have not forgotten.
The falling stars and vast Celestial Phenomenon above the mountain gate, and the earth-shaking figure beneath that array diagram!
Despite the combined sword energy attacking with immense power, Xu Long did not retreat under the array diagram. Instead, he concentrated all his magical Magic Power on the sword light, determined to have a head-on duel with the sword energy, using his Mid Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivation to withstand the might of Earth Immortal!
Facing the might of heaven above, the combined sword energy did not flinch in the slightest. As the sect's most treasured artifact for thousands of years, it has its own pride and strength. The sharp sword that once roared between heaven and earth is about to cleave down the stars today!
The condensed afterimage grew larger and larger, making muffled thunder-like sounds as it swept through the air. The two poured all their magical Magic Power into the sword energy, and the twisting sword energy densely covered the afterimage with energy.
As the violent energy continued to accumulate, the overlapping afterimages resembled a powder keg ready to explode at any moment. If it were touched by even the slightest spark, it would unleash a devastating force capable of causing mountains to collapse and the earth to crumble.
Both Li Yingqi and Lian Xing had a resolute look in their eyes. They were at a loss as to how to deal with the Blood Alliance traitors' strange methods, so they might as well use the most direct method to deal with them.
The sword energy transformed into a crimson sun after the afterimage, and the sword light merged into stars beneath the sky. The two energies were extremely powerful and strong. As their trajectories in the air grew longer and longer, the distance of their collision grew closer and closer.
boom!
A tremendous sound exploded in the sky above the Mount Emei Range, and the momentum of the falling stars was slowed down, their dazzling light dimming for a moment.
Before the energy shockwave could form, the violent energy instantly enveloped the stars, causing the red sun behind it to pause abruptly. Then, countless afterimages condensed and began to expand.
The light bursting forth from the stars was all the sharp edge of the sword light that burst forth. The moment it made contact with the afterimage, it broke through its outer edge. The red sun behind the afterimage immediately stopped its attack, as if waiting for something to happen.
Before any energy dissipation occurred after the loud bang, the stars seemed to have fallen into the deep sea, their sharp edges being submerged by the heavy energy as they flashed out, and countless afterimages finally found the outlet for the energy release.
A silent shockwave lifted a star into the air. After the star burst into light again, the crimson sun, which had been hovering behind, swept in fiercely. The sun compressed the afterimage that had expanded to its limit, and the energy within surged toward the star.
The energy that the two poured into the afterimage was boundless. Now, after being violently compressed, the energy followed the direction in which the star fell. The star in the vast afterimage was like a wave floating in the sea, rising and falling with the waves.
The afterimage, expanded to its limit, emitted a muffled "bang" as its energy gave birth to a dazzling burst of flames in the sky, the flames shooting upwards and almost igniting the heavens.
Violent energy, carrying countless afterimages, crashed against the stars. Amidst the overwhelming energy, the stars seemed to lose their own control, undulating amidst the afterimages.
The waves in the ocean roll up the spray, and the high waves violently pound the small spray.
The afterimage that spread out resembled a sluice gate after it had opened and closed, from which violent energy surged forth and instantly engulfed the sword light. As the sword light was uncontrollably swept up by the energy,
The sword energy then flashed out at the opportune moment, and a red sun suddenly shot out from the opening and closing sluice gate. The two skillfully used their immense energy to lift up the sword light.
Amidst the surging energy, the sword light could no longer effectively stop the sudden attack of the sword energy. A ray of light flashed in the center of the afterimage, and it was the only one unaffected by the surging energy. After skillfully darting out, it aimed at Xu Long behind it with the power it had been accumulating for a long time!
The curtain wall in front of him instantly solidified, and one after another, spiritual energy barriers filled the area in front of the array. The spiritual energy in the Mount Emei Range was absorbed by the array in an instant, and the compressed spiritual energy carried a violent aura.
When Xu Long saw the afterimage expand, he immediately sensed something was wrong. If the two were fighting like cornered beasts at this point, then their only target was himself behind them.
Li Yingqi and Lian Xing had no intention of getting entangled with Xu Long's World-Breaking Blade. After using the sword energy to create afterimages, they accumulated a vast amount of energy within them. When the sword light attacked, they actively compressed the energy, and as the sword light fell into it, the violent energy was released towards the sword light.
Using endless energy to trap the sword light for a moment, even if Xu Long had the will to turn the sword light around, it was too late. The red sun that streaked out from the afterimage was particularly dazzling under the sky.
At this moment, the combined sword energy truly revealed its ferocity. The power of wind and thunder accompanied the side of the sword, and faint lightning crackled on the sword's edge. The surging sword energy was poised to shatter Xu Long's multiple defenses in one strike.
Below, Li Yingqi and Lian Xing's eyes kept rising with a glimmer of hope. They had already used all the methods of a great cultivator on the sword energy. Now that the sword light was blocked, the Blood Alliance traitors had nowhere to avoid it and were waiting to be beheaded!
Bang bang bang!
A series of muffled thuds exploded in Xu Long's ears. The billowing curtain in front of him was instantly pierced by the red sun, and his figure quickly retreated behind the curtain.
The spiritual energy above the array diagram had been compressed to its limit. The volatile spiritual energy was just waiting for an opportunity to ignite and explode, watching the curtain wall shatter and condense repeatedly.
A glint flashed in Xu Long, and the hopeful look in the eyes of Li Yingqi and Lian Xing below instantly froze.
Boom boom boom!
A series of explosions resounded in front of the array. The turbulent spiritual energy, gathered together, reacted violently. The energy explosions ignited not only the clouds in the sky but also the air currents above.
In the eyes of the two below, a bright light was getting closer and closer, and the star that was just floating in the afterimage had now fallen into the sky above the Mount Emei Range.
Li Yingqi and Lian Xing's strategy was to avoid the World-Breaking Blade and go straight for Xu Long.
Xu Long's tactics were also to avoid the combined sword energy and directly attack the two below!
If Kou can go, so can I!
Only then did the two realize that they had completely lost to Xu Long in terms of controlling the battle.
As a great cultivator who had walked the path of cultivation for a thousand years and considered himself to have rich combat experience, he was completely outmatched in front of Xu Long.
Xu Long was unaware of their original plan; he only deduced that the sword energy's target had changed when he saw the afterimage expanding during the battle.
The battle is not static; unexpected events can occur at any moment. Only with great strength, rich experience, and a stable Dao Heart can one adapt to the changes, and only with absolute suppression can one control the direction of the battle!
As the stars formed by the sword light floated and sank in the afterimage, Xu Long's curtain wall shattered. However, he used the trick to his advantage and did not immediately return the sword light. Instead, he broke through the energy in the afterimage and fell towards Mount Emei Range. The two people below were now completely defenseless!
The sudden burst of sword light was like a star. When it fell into the afterimage, it did not consume much Magic Power. The heavenly might it brought with it when it swept over was still the same as before.
A star illuminated the darkness of the Mount Emei Range, and the sharp light reflected from it caused the mountain peaks to crack and the earth to split open. Under the might of the heavens, the two struggled to use their Magic Power to resist.
Their robes billowed in the strong wind, their long hair flew wildly in the wind, and thick clouds of dust rose up in front of them. Sword energy surged forward from the sky amidst the Spiritual Qi Bombardment.
The retreating figure of the Blood Alliance traitor and his sword energy drew ever closer. Looking at the falling stars above their heads, Li Yingqi and Lian Xing exchanged glances, then poured their last bit of Magic Power into the combined sword energy.
The pressure in front of Xu Long instantly increased dramatically. A sharp sword aura pierced through the curtain wall, and a sword beam suddenly appeared on the red sun in front of him. Violent energy raged within the barrier formed by the Spiritual Qi Bombardment. The sect's treasure sensed its master's last will.
Clang!
The sword energy burst forth with a crisp sword cry. After a mournful cry to the sky, the sounds of wind and thunder beside the sword became increasingly clear, and more and more sword energy pierced through the curtain wall.
In Xu Long's eyes, he could even see a red sun leaping over the obstacles of the Spiritual Qi Bombardment, the sound of wind and thunder resounding in his ears, and an extremely dangerous intuition arose in his heart.
The red sun in Xu Long shone brightly, even overshadowing the many obstacles in front of the array. In his haste, he subconsciously uttered a word, and the array behind him, which had been slowly rotating, suddenly stopped.
"Seal up!"
The moment the word was uttered, it truly possessed the power of law, causing the world's rules to momentarily stagnate in this area beneath the sky.
The increasingly bright red sun in his eyes finally paused for a moment. Xu Long frantically poured his Magic Power into the array diagram, and the array diagram, which had only paused for a moment, started to rotate again.
The surging spiritual energy rapidly gathered in front of the array diagram, driving away the sword energy within the curtain wall. The stagnant red sun was about to sweep in, and the curtain wall in their eyes shattered and then reappeared and solidified in an instant.
As the muffled "thump thump thump" sounds rang out, Xu Long shot away like a cannonball.
The stars in the sky, though seemingly enormous, were actually sword beams refracted from the sword light at their centers, their celestial might causing the Mount Emei Range below to be overturned layer by layer.
The fierce sword light, like a divine weapon, instantly pierced through all the obstacles below. Layer upon layer of sword light swept across the ground, and the ferocious edge locked onto two figures between the mountains.
The two figures swayed slightly in the whistling wind, restraining each other, and their bodies did not fall under the sharp edge.
Li Yingqi's hair, which was styled in a bun, was disheveled in the wind. The two tassels on the bun were scattered by the strong wind, and one of the tassels floated and landed in front of Lian Xing's eyes.
Lian Xing's eyes were covered by a semi-transparent gauze tassel, and his blue robe was bulging with sweat.
In this Extremis, as he gazed at his junior sister's profile through the translucent tassels, a memory that didn't belong to him slowly began to unfold in his mind.
Lian Xing was unaware that he had ever had this experience; he only felt a strange familiarity in his memory, as memories flashed through his mind like a slideshow.
He seemed to recall something when he saw his junior sister. Li Yingqi was of one mind with him, and when she sensed her senior brother's strange behavior, she couldn't help but turn her face away.
The moment their eyes met, tears welled up in Lian Xing's eyes and poured down his cheeks. His Adam's apple bobbed several times as if he had something to say.
Then, looking into Li Yingqi's eyes through the flowing water, Lian Xing opened his mouth silently, and finally choked out the word " Yingqi " in his throat.
Li Yingqi took his arm and lifted the tassels from Lian Xing's eyes. When their eyes met, all it took was a simple " Wuji " in response, and their long-awaited feelings were clear in each other's eyes.
In his Extremis, Lian Xing finally learned who his junior sister was.
A thousand years of anticipation, the events unfolding on the grand path, and long-suppressed emotions were all expressed in the word " Yingqi " at this moment.
He recalled the first person he saw when he opened his eyes, the first face he remembered, the first gaze imprinted in his heart, and he finally understood why his junior sister was always protecting him, guiding him, and safeguarding him.
He finally knew who the people in his memories were: Changkong Wuji and Lian Xing; they were the past and the present. At this moment, he had found peace even in his Extremis.
He no longer suppressed his desires. He had reached the end of the Great Dao. Whether desire was an obstacle or his true nature, Lian Xing had made his choice.
" Yingqi... I'm so sorry!"
" Wuji! If the path to immortality has an end, then I am willing to perish with you. If this Great Dao requires severing desires, then I would rather fall into the demonic path!"
" Yingqi! Now we have reached the end of our journey on the Great Dao. I no longer wish to deceive my own Dao Heart. I, Lian Xing, am Changkong Wuji, Changkong Wuji is Lian Xing. Whether in the past or now, my feelings for you have never changed!"
"The same goes for Yingqi; I wish to hold hands Wuji and await the next life!"
Li Yingqi held Lian Xing 'Lian Xing hands tightly, and the two leaned on each other in the fierce wind, Li Yingqi eyes meeting.
There was none of the previous evasion and torment. In the face of Extremis, the two finally resolved their inner conflicts. Between the path of immortality and their Dao Heart, they chose to follow their Dao Heart, even if it meant giving rise to demonic obstacles, they would still uphold their true nature.
