The other side of the battlefield was already stained red with blood.
Large areas of the ancient forest have completely collapsed. The once towering ancient trees have been cut in half by the impact of the divine power, and the huge trunks have fallen to the ground, with burning branches still emitting blue smoke. The air is filled with the smell of burning and blood, and spatial cracks are spread across the sky like a spider web, with broken void rifts still slowly closing.
The Boundless Realm Divine Sect's team was no longer as orderly as it had been when they were escorting the goods.
Originally there were forty or fifty cultivators at the Severed Thought Realm, but now there are more than a dozen mangled corpses lying on the ground. Some had their chests pierced by divine powers, some had half of their bodies swallowed by spatial rifts, and several corpses didn't even have a complete form left, only burning fragments of their Fate Soul slowly dissipating in the air.
Only a dozen or so disciples remained standing, all of them breathing heavily and covered in wounds.
Gu Linfeng knelt on the ground, his long sword embedded in the earth to support his body. Blood was seeping from a deep wound on his chest that exposed bone, and his breathing had become extremely heavy.
Ye Wuhen's situation was no better; his left arm had been pierced by a purplish-black divine power, and blood was dripping down his sleeve, forming a dark red bloodstain on the ground.
However, he remained upright, gripping his longsword tightly, his eyes showing no sign of backing down from his opponent.
Hua Jingmeng was in a similar sorry state; his robes were torn in several places, and bloodstains remained at the corner of his mouth, indicating that he had also suffered a serious injury.
But his eyes remained cold, and only five of the Hua Lineage disciples behind him remained.
This was a truly brutal battle, with both sides pushed to their Limit.
Ye Wuhen slowly raised his head. He looked at Hua Jingmeng, his gaze resolute. "Hua Jingmeng."
His voice was hoarse, yet exceptionally firm. "Today—" "Even if I perish here," "I will not retreat a single step."
His words caused the remaining dozen or so disciples of the Boundless Realm Divine Sect to simultaneously widen their gazes in shock.
Some gripped their weapons tightly, some gritted their Hua Jingmeng, and then suddenly a cold laugh filled with contempt came.
"Ye Wuhen." "You really like to say such righteous words." He slowly raised the weapon in his hand, with purple-black Fate Soul flames churning around it.
"Unfortunately—" "You can't win with just words." His gaze swept over the injured disciples of the Boundless Realm Divine Sect.
A mocking smile played on his lips. "Look at the people behind you." "Dead or wounded." "What do you have left to fight me with?"
He suddenly took a step forward, his killing intent surging. "If you don't retreat—" "Then you die." "Today you will surely perish here."
He slowly raised his hand and pointed to the escort truck behind him. "As for the goods you're transporting—"
His smile grew even colder. "Naturally, it all belongs to our Hua Lineage."
Gu Linfeng gritted his teeth and roared, "Dream on!" Hua Jingmeng didn't even glance at him. "A half-dead man—" "dares to interrupt."
He gently shook his head. "Don't worry. After you're all dead, I'll take care of these resources for you."
Ye Wuhen suddenly laughed. That laugh carried a hint of ferocity. "Hua Jingmeng." "You are truly arrogant." "Even if I die in battle today."
"And I'll drag you down with me." Hua Jingmeng's gaze suddenly turned cold. "Then try me."
He suddenly waved his hand. "Attack!" The order fell, and the five Hua Lineage disciples behind him rushed out at the same time.
Five divine powers erupted instantly. "Soul Rend Palm!" "Obliteration Sword Domain!" "Void Breaking Kill!" "Soul-Burning Thunder Seal!" "Stillness Void Rending Blade!"
Five attacks simultaneously tore through the sky, and a massive purplish-black palm print pressed down from the air, while a storm of Sword Qi energy swept across the land.
Thunder roared through the air like a raging dragon, and spatial rifts tens of feet long tore through the air, instantly engulfing Ye Wuhen and the others in a terrifying storm of divine power.
A fighting spirit suddenly ignited in Ye Wuhen's eyes. "Disciples of the Boundless Realm Divine Sect!" His voice boomed across the battlefield. "Are you afraid?!"
One disciple roared, "I'm not afraid!" Another gripped his spear tightly. "Kill!"
Gu Linfeng gritted his teeth and stood up. "Let's fight!" Ye Wuhen suddenly raised his sword, "Then—" "Fight to the last man!" Boom—!!!
The remaining disciples of the Boundless Realm Divine Sect simultaneously unleashed their Fate Soul power, Sword Qi energy soaring into the sky, blade light crisscrossing, and spears like dragons.
More than a dozen attacks met the Hua Lineage's divine power at the same time, and the world exploded in an instant.
A terrifying shockwave swept through the ancient forest, blasting broken trees into the air and creating huge craters in the ground, while divine lights collided wildly in the sky.
The ancient forest battlefield has been transformed into an Asura wasteland.
The air was thick with the stench of blood and the scorching heat of battle. Huge craters left by the impact of the divine powers littered the ground, and broken ancient trees stood like shattered spears stuck in the earth. Spatial rifts flickered and closed intermittently, as if the world itself had been severely damaged in this great battle.
The remaining dozen or so disciples of the Boundless Realm Divine Sect had been forced to the center of the battle line, with Gu Linfeng standing at the very front.
His breathing was extremely heavy, and the deep, bone-revealing wound on his chest continued to bleed. His longsword was stuck in the ground to support his body.
But his gaze was unusually firm. He glanced at his fellow disciples behind him, then looked at the five Realm Breaking Realm · Supreme cultivators in front of him.
Suddenly, he smiled, a smile filled with resolve. Gu Linfeng slowly drew his longsword. "Fine..." "Then let you all accompany me to the Yellow Springs."
The next moment, he suddenly plunged the sword into his chest, and blood gushed out instantly. At the same time, the Fate Soul within his body suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light.
Gu Linfeng formed hand seals, his voice low and hoarse. "Forbidden Technique—" Soul Burning Return to Stillness
By burning their own Fate Soul essence, they transform life into destructive power, unleashing a power far exceeding their cultivation level in a short period of time.
The caster gains several times the combat power within a few breaths, but their life and Fate Soul will rapidly collapse.
Suddenly, golden-red flames erupted all over Gu Linfeng's body. These flames were not ordinary flames, but the primordial light of his burning Fate Soul.
His aura surged wildly, and his previously weakened power in the Severed Thought Realm instantly broke through its Limit. A huge fiery phantom rose behind him, like a burning war god.
Gu Linfeng looked up and roared, "You dog of the Hua Lineage— " "Come and die with me!"
He charged towards the five Realm Breaking Realm · Supreme cultivators like a burning meteor.
Meanwhile, on the other side— Ye Wuhen also witnessed this scene.
His eyes instantly turned bloodshot. "Lin Feng--!" He knew what Gu Linfeng was doing; it was a sure-kill move.
Ye Wuhen's body suddenly trembled slightly, and the next moment he suddenly closed his eyes as a long-dormant power awakened from the depths of his Fate Soul.
His aura suddenly changed. "Since that's the case..." Ye Wuhen slowly opened his eyes. "Then—" "Fight to the death." He abruptly raised his sword.
At this moment, the very essence of Fate Soul ignited, and the air across the entire battlefield suddenly trembled violently.
Ye Wuhen uttered the sword's name in a low voice. "Divine Power--" Fate Soul Realm Splitting Sword
He burned his Fate Soul essence, merging sword intent with life force, unleashing a sword strike that surpassed his own Limit.
When the sword is drawn, its Sword Qi will tear through space and Fate Soul, enough to instantly kill cultivators of the same realm.
Ye Wuhen's longsword suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light, and a huge sword shadow rose up behind him.
The sword shadow stretched for hundreds of feet, as if the sky had been sliced open by this sword strike—a strike unleashed by Ye Wuhen.
Boom! The sword light swept across the battlefield, Realm Breaking Realm · Supreme expert who was preparing to attack Gu Linfeng didn't even have time to react.
The sword light had already pierced through his body, and in the next instant, he was torn apart by the Sword Qi.
The Fate Soul and the physical body shattered and Annihilation on the spot. However, Hua Jingmeng reacted extremely quickly, just as Gu Linfeng with his burning Fate Soul.
He had already sensed the danger. "Madman!" Hua Jingmeng's expression changed drastically. He suddenly formed a hand seal. "Life-saving divine power—" Phantom Life Escape
A purple-black light erupted beneath his feet, and his body suddenly transformed into three afterimages, escaping in three different directions simultaneously.
The true form had instantly escaped Gu Linfeng's impact range, and the next Hua Jingmeng's eyes.
He had already locked onto Gu Linfeng. "Since you want to die..." "Then I'll grant your wish!" He suddenly clasped his hands together.
A murderous aura suddenly erupted. "Divine Power--" Soul-Slaughtering Obliteration Palm, and a gigantic purplish-black palm appeared in the sky.
The palm was covered with Annihilation Structure runes, and the palm print descended from the sky, heading straight for Gu Linfeng, whose Fate Soul was burning.
A terrifying killing intent instantly enveloped the battlefield, but Gu Linfeng continued charging forward. If that palm strike landed, he would surely die.
The battlefield spiraled completely out of control at that moment.
The shattered space above the ancient forest still flickered, and the blue Butterfly Domain intertwined with countless remnants of divine powers to form a destructive storm. In the distance, the battle between Ye Wuhen and Hua Jingmeng had entered a life-or-death stage, while the main battlefield where Qin Yu was located was also fraught with danger.
Just as Gu Linfeng burned his Fate Soul to rush towards the five Realm Breaking Realm · Supreme cultivators, Qin Yu's divine sense had already detected Hua Jingmeng's deadly divine ability.
The enormous, purplish-black palm print was tearing through the sky, its Annihilation Structure spinning wildly, its killing intent locked onto Gu Linfeng.
Qin Yu's gaze suddenly changed. He turned around abruptly, and the Silent Origin Stainless Sword was already raised.
He intended to sever the palm print across the battlefield. However, at that very moment, a terrifying pressure from the Mystic Void suddenly descended.
The entire Butterfly Domain Realm suddenly froze. Hua Feiting had already made her move, her eyes were extremely cold.
The Ghostly Butterfly Garland in her palm erupted with a blinding blue light once more. She clenched her fists abruptly. "Divine Power—" Butterfly-Locked Void Prison
Using the essence of the Butterfly Domain to Origin Framework a spatial cage, the enemy's movement trajectory is completely blocked, preventing them from escaping the domain's constraints.
Once locked by the Void Prison, space will continuously fold and contract, and any force attempting to break through the domain will be devoured by the Butterfly Domain.
Hundreds of thousands of blue butterflies in the sky suddenly stopped flying. The next moment, they all flapped their wings at the same time, and countless rays of eerie blue light shot out from between their wings.
The rays of light rapidly intertwined in the air, forming a massive spatial cage, which resembled a blue star net, completely enveloping Qin Yu.
Space was continuously compressed within the grid, and the void around Qin Yu began to twist and collapse.
Hua Feiting looked coldly at Qin Yu, a chilling smile appearing on her lips. "Hmph." "Qin Yu." "You'll just watch them die."
The blue Butterfly Domain completely locked down the space, and it would take Qin Yu at least several breaths to escape. Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, Gu Linfeng had already rushed into the Hua Lineage cultivators.
His body was completely enveloped by the flames of his Fate Soul, making him resemble a burning star. The five cultivators at the Realm Breaking Realm · Supreme finally sensed the danger.
"Stop him!" "He's going to self-destruct his Fate Soul!" However—it was too late. Gu Linfeng suddenly stopped.
He slowly turned his head and glanced at Ye Wuhen in the distance, a faint smile appearing on his face.
"Deacon Ye." "The Boundless Realm Divine Sect..." "I'm leaving it to you." The next instant—he suddenly clasped his hands together in a mudra.
His Fate Soul suddenly shattered. Boom!!!! A blinding golden light erupted from his body, and the source of his Fate Soul was completely burned.
A golden sphere of light expanded instantly in the air, unleashing terrifying destructive energy that swept outwards, just as the five Realm Breaking Realm · Supreme cultivators were preparing to flee.
But it had already been swallowed up by the sphere of light. The next moment—an explosion, the heavens and earth trembled, a golden shockwave swept across the battlefield, and space shattered like a mirror.
The five cultivators at the Realm Breaking Realm · Supreme didn't even have time to scream before their physical bodies and Fate Soul simultaneously disintegrated Annihilation on the spot.
However, at the same instant, Hua Jingmeng's divine power descended, and the giant purplish-black palm crashed down from the sky.
Before Gu Linfeng's Fate Soul explosion had fully spread, the palm print had already slammed heavily onto his figure.
Boom! The heavens and earth seemed to freeze at that moment as the palm print pressed down.
The golden sphere of light was instantly crushed, Gu Linfeng's figure, along with his remaining Fate Soul, was completely annihilated by that palm strike.
No trace was left; all that remained of the battlefield was a shattered spatial rift.
In the distance, Ye Wuhen witnessed this scene, his eyes instantly turning bloodshot. "Gu Linfeng--!" However, the lingering power of Hua Jingmeng's divine ability was still spreading.
The purplish-black palm print crushed the sky, and the terrifying shockwave rushed straight towards the formation of the Boundless Realm Divine Sect disciples. Ye Wuhen suddenly rushed forward.
He gritted his teeth and roared, "Everyone back off!" He burned his Fate Soul and swung his sword again, a sword light blocking the way in front of everyone.
Boom! The aftershocks of the palm print crashed heavily into the Sword Qi energy barrier, shattering the space once again. Ye Wuhen was thrown back dozens of feet.
Blood gushed out, but he still stood firmly at the forefront. However, the aftershocks of that Mystic Void Realm divine power were something that even a cultivator at the Severed Thought Realm could not withstand.
Several disciples of the Boundless Realm Divine Sect didn't even have time to react before the purple-black shockwave swept over them, instantly shattering their bodies.
The Fate Soul vanished into thin air, and several more perished on the spot, plunging the battlefield into deathly silence.
On the side of the Boundless Realm Divine Sect, all remaining disciples were directly wiped Annihilation, while Hua Jingmeng slowly landed in the sky, his gaze cold and dark.
