Heartless Valley Attacks, Blood Spills at the Love Palace
The battle for the Coiling Dragon Pillar is raging.
Meanwhile, Dongfang Yueming, along with the three women, had already embarked on their journey home.
"Call..."
He exhaled a long breath, feeling the immense power brought by the nine true dragon Divine Ability within his body, and felt more at ease than ever before.
[The Nine Transformations of the True Dragon are complete; my ' True Dragon Grotto-Heaven ' is now fully Perfection!]
[Now, even against Body Integration Perfection, I would have a fighting chance!]
However, just as he was flying over a desolate mountain range...
"Buzz--!"
His [Martial Dao Grotto-Heaven], which had already reached the Void Refinement Perfection, suddenly began to tremble violently without warning!
A chilling aura, filled with endless "ruthlessness" and "slaughter," faintly wafted from the distant west!
"That is..."
Dongfang Yueming abruptly stopped, his gaze sharp as lightning, piercing through the Xukong!
"The direction of the Love Palace!"
Love Palace.
This once idyllic floating island is now shrouded in a chilling, blood-red hue.
"Boom--!"
Under the bombardment of countless black sword lights, the mountain-protecting formation groaned in despair, cracking and teetering on the verge of collapse!
Outside the mountain gate, hundreds of cultivators dressed in black, with faces as cold as the dead, attacked the great formation like a locust swarm!
Leading the group was an old woman with a withered face and eyes that were completely black, without any white in them!
The Elder of the Heartless Valley — Abbess Miejue!
The Mid Void Refinement!
"Li Hanyi! Stop struggling in vain!"
The Abbess Miejue's voice was hoarse and shrill, like the hooting of an owl, "Today, the Coiling Dragon Pillar has appeared, and all the powerful have been drawn to it! No one can come to save you now!"
"Obey and open the great formation, and I might still leave you with a whole corpse!"
Inside the great formation.
Li Hanyi's face was pale, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth, indicating that she had suffered serious internal injuries.
"The Heartless Valley... you bunch of lunatics!"
She gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with despair and rage!
Even if I die, I will never let you succeed!
"All disciples, heed my command! We swear to defend our sect to the death!"
"Yes!"
Throughout the Love Palace, from elders to disciples, every face was filled with determination!
They knew that the Heartless Valley practiced the "Supreme Forgetfulness of Emotion" and hated sects like the Love Palace that used "emotion" as a path to enlightenment!
Because the Holy Maiden of the Love Palace in the Upper Realm caused a prodigy from the Valley of Heartless Valley to lose his cultivation, the Heartless Valley has harbored even greater hatred for the Love Palace ever since.
If we fall into their hands, our fate will be worse than death!
Stubborn to the end!
Abbess Miejue snorted coldly, her eyes revealing murderous intent!
"Since you wish to die, then I will grant your wish!"
"Heartless Sword Formation! Activate!"
"Boom--!"
Hundreds of black-clad cultivators simultaneously unleashed their flying swords, transforming into a jet-black Blade Storm. With a terrifying power capable of severing all emotions and Vitality, they slammed fiercely into the already crumbling formation!
"Snap--!"
A sharp crack, like a thunderclap!
The mountain-protecting formation has finally... broken!
Kill! Leave no one alive!
At Abbess Miejue's command, the black-clad cultivators surged into the Love Palace like a tidal wave!
Blood instantly stained this once pristine land!
Screams, cries, and the clanging of weapons echoed through the sky!
Covered in blood, Li Hanyi desperately resisted Abbess Miejue's attacks, but the difference in strength caused her to retreat step by step, facing constant danger!
"Palace Master!"
The two sisters, Li Hongxiu and Li Qingyue, stood back to back, desperately trying to fend off the enemies surging towards them.
Their bodies were covered in wounds, and their clothes were stained with blood, but their eyes remained resolute!
"Qingyue, run!" Li Hongxiu shouted anxiously as she forced back an enemy with her sword.
"No! I won't leave!" Li Qingyue shook her head stubbornly, "If we die, we die together!"
"You silly girl!" Li Hongxiu was so anxious that tears were about to fall.
Just then!
"Bang!"
Li Hanyi was Abbess Miejue's palm, and her whole body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily in front of the two sisters. Blood gushed out, and her breath instantly weakened to the extreme!
"Palace Master!"
The two women were shocked and rushed over to help her up.
"Cough cough... Quick... Quickly go..." Li Hanyi struggled to stand up, but it was too late.
"Go? Where to?"
Abbess Miejue descended like the Grim Reaper, looking down at the three of them with cruelty and mockery in her eyes.
"Li Hanyi, this is your fate!"
"Go to hell!"
She raised her hand, and a jet-black, Heartless Sword Qi condensed in her palm, carrying a world-destroying power, and slashed down at the three of them!
Li Hongxiu closed her eyes in despair.
The last image that appeared in my mind was that figure in blue.
[Farewell, Dongfang...]
In that life-or-death moment!
"Hold head high--!!!"
A dragon's roar that shook the heavens suddenly resounded!
Immediately afterwards!
A figure in cyan, carrying overwhelming dragon might and boundless killing intent, descended from the sky like a meteorite!
"Who dares to touch her?!"
"BOOM--!!!"
A loud bang!
That arrogant and ruthless Heartless Sword Qi was actually shattered by the figure in green with a single punch!
The smoke and dust cleared.
Dongfang Yueming's figure stood like a towering mountain, blocking the way for Li Hongxiu and the other two women.
He stood with his hands behind his back, his green robe fluttering without wind, and there was no fluctuation of spiritual power around him, but the invisible pressure made all the cultivators of the Heartless Valley present feel suffocated!
"Who are you?!"
Abbess Miejue's pupils suddenly contracted as she stared intently at Dongfang Yueming, her eyes filled with apprehension!
That punch... it actually shattered her Heartless Sword Qi with pure physical strength?!
What... what kind of monster is this?!
"The one who killed you."
Dongfang Yueming coldly uttered four words.
"Arrogant!" Abbess Miejue laughed in fury. "A mere nobody dares to meddle in the affairs of my Heartless Valley? Die!"
She struck again, this time with all her might, without holding back!
"Heartless Nature-Extinguishing Slash!"
A jet-black sword beam, hundreds of feet long, carrying a terrifying aura capable of severing all Vitality, slashed down towards Dongfang Yueming!
However, faced with this devastating attack, Dongfang Yueming merely...
Slowly, he raised his right hand.
[Nine Transformations of the True Dragon - Baxia Bears a Heavy Burden!]
"Buzz--!"
An ancient and imposing phantom of a divine tortoise appeared behind him, its back seemingly carrying the entire ancient divine mountain!
"Clang--!!!"
A deafening clang of metal clashing!
The sword light, powerful enough to cleave mountains, was abruptly blocked the moment it touched Dongfang Yueming's palm!
Not an inch forward!
"Wh... what?!"
Abbess Miejue was completely dumbfounded!
