Clang!!
The sound of a sword ringing out suddenly rang out.
A blood sword, seemingly formed from pure Slaughter intent, burst forth.
An overwhelming aura of killing intent permeated the air.
In an instant, a strange crimson hue appeared in the pupils of everyone, including those from the Golden Radiance Palace and the Arhat Yuanguang.
An almost uncontrollable killing intent surged wildly from his heart, like weeds growing rampantly in spring.
"Oh no, fellow Daoist, get out of the way quickly!"
The Golden Radiance Divine Palace trembled slightly, its starlight rippled, suppressing the killing intent in the Palace Master of the Golden Radiance Palace's heart. He was the first to regain his senses and steered the temple toward the Arhat Yuanguang, preparing to use this Sturdiness semi- Dao Artifact to help resist that Unrivaled killing sword!
However, his actions were ultimately a step too late.
Surrounded by that pure, blood-red light, the small, blood-red sword, seemingly forged from crystal, also moved at incredible speed.
In the blink of an eye, it had pierced through the Void, leaving Arhat Yuanguang no time to react before he was engulfed in bloody light.
Arhat Yuanguang felt as if blood was everywhere before his eyes, and the whole world had become a Blood Sea. His Divine Law like a helpless mosquito, bound by the viscous blood and unable to break free.
The Endless, seemingly endless Slaughter intent, born entirely for the sake of Slaughter, pierced through and tore apart his Eight Classes of Heavenly Dragons Golden Body, which he had painstakingly honed for millions of years.
Then, a protective artifact hidden within Arhat Yuanguang's body was also shattered with overwhelming force.
"The River Styx Yuantu Sword! It's actually this great Great God technique!"
In his hazy state of mind, Arhat Yuanguang couldn't help but recall the supernatural powers used by the Reverend Blood River.
He immediately realized that he had to fight desperately, otherwise any further hesitation would surely mean his death.
Without the slightest hesitation, the Spirit Ruins appeared behind the Arhat Yuanguang, with interwoven Spirit Pattern and nine divine rings radiating perfect Daoist charm. But the next moment, cracks appeared on all of these divine rings!
Click!
Click!
The divine ring shattered, releasing a massive amount of primordial power. Within the Spirit Ruins, Endless chanting suddenly resounded, as if devout Buddhism believers were praying simultaneously.
The Incense Votive Power soared into the sky, blessing the Spirit Ruins and enveloping the blood sword in an attempt to hinder it.
However, Arhat Yuanguang underestimated the power of this Great God technique.
The crimson sword light pierced through in an instant, severing the divine rings and cutting the Spirit Ruins in two with its remaining force.
Then, the sword light pierced the sky.
Across the vast sky, a Blood River mark stretched across the universe, like a crimson Abyss towering over the earth.
"Amitabha! This is a calamity for this humble monk."
After speaking, within the shattered Spirit Ruins, the golden-bodied Arhat Yuanguang Primordial Light calmly clasped his hands together and lowered his head.
A blood-red glass sword was embedded in his chest, its Berserk Slaughter aura constantly weakening Arhat Yuanguang's life force.
"Brother Daoist!!"
The Palace Master of the Golden Radiance Palace's eyes were bloodshot, and he appeared to be insane.
He and Arhat Yuanguang were sworn brothers. Although they belonged to different sects, they were of the same mind. It was at his invitation that Arhat Yuanguang came from the distant Mystic Origin Divine Realm, despite the hardships.
Now that his friend is in imminent danger of death, his hatred surges and guilt gnaws at his soul like venomous insects.
"Blood River!"
The Palace Master of the Golden Radiance Palace suddenly turned around, his eyes turning pure gold. His hair and beard flew wildly, his robes fluttered, and the Golden Radiance Divine Palace beneath his feet crashed down with a deafening roar, as if the sky had collapsed and the earth had split open, a massive explosion resounding through the realm.
A massive shadow was cast, and the Reverend Blood River who unleashed the Yuan Tu sword was almost reduced to a withered corpse, his flesh shriveled and a pitiful sight.
His aura plummeted, and it seemed he had no chance against the enraged Palace Master of the Golden Radiance Palace.
But just then...
The Reverend Blood River let out a sinister laugh.
"With blood and soul as the guide, River Styx as the foundation, one can fly through the sky and traverse the earth, free from all constraints of the universe!"
"Myriad Tribulations Blood Curse Great Escape Art!"
"Start!!"
Like the long cry of an owl.
The Reverend Blood River's body suddenly collapsed, and his soul shattered like porcelain, most of it turning into blood-black smoke that disappeared into the darkness, as if he were offering a sacrifice to some great being.
"Trying to run?!"
The Palace Master of the Golden Radiance Palace was furious. The Spirit Ruins behind him expanded wildly, blocking the heavens and earth, trying to intercept that barely perceptible blood light that seemed to be able to penetrate everything.
However, the blood-red light seemed to travel through another higher dimension, transcending the Three Realms and the Five Elements, and actually passed directly through the layers of suppression of the Golden Radiance Divine Palace, escaping and disappearing without a trace.
Only a lingering voice echoed, "Golden Radiance Palace, I will return!"
"Damn it, if Brother Yuanguang hadn't been severely injured and the Great Barrier of Light hadn't been broken, this demon would definitely not have been able to escape."
The Palace Master of the Golden Radiance Palace roared, but at the same time he suddenly realized why the Reverend Blood River was willing to risk mutual destruction and consume almost all of his essence blood to use the River Styx Yuantu Sword Great God Technique.
His goal is to break free and escape!
Even after figuring out Reverend Blood River's purpose, the Palace Master of the Golden Radiance Palace realized that he still couldn't stop the blood-red glass sword that pierced the sky.
Its speed is too fast, its intent too fierce!
"Palace Master, what do we do now? Should we continue the pursuit?" An elder from the Golden Radiance Palace flew over and asked softly.
"Don't pursue a cornered enemy. The most urgent task is to get Yuanguang back to the Golden Radiance Palace for treatment!"
"Yes!"
The elder accepted the order, and soon after, the group from the Golden Radiance Palace finished cleaning up the battlefield and rode the temple away into the sky.
All that remained was a vast ruin, a land ravaged, life devastated, and a scene of utter devastation.
Beneath the Abyss, the Ancestor Kuming, his expression trembling with fear, sighed to himself, "The Yuantu Sword severs the body, the Abi Sword annihilates the soul! Truly worthy of being the Natal Dao Art wielded by that being, dominating the Three Realms; even after evolving into a divine power, it remains terrifying!"
"Palace Master, are we just going to let Golden Radiance Palace go like this?" Venerable Jiemie asked murderously.
The Ancestor Kuming waved his hand, "Without confidence in taking down the Golden Radiance Palace, a rash attack would yield no benefit. Besides, there's still the half-dead Arhat Yuanguang. If we accidentally kill him, wouldn't the Great Yan Temple hate us to death? We'd be taking the blame for someone else's misfortune!"
His gaze turned in another direction; the Reverend Blood River transformed into a beam of light and departed from there.
"This large fish, which offers almost no resistance, is our target!" Ancestor Kuming stroked his beard and laughed.
Upon hearing Venerable Jiemie and Madam Xuanyin exchanged a glance and nodded slightly.
If given the choice, who wouldn't want to fight a battle with an easy advantage?
It's best to avoid tackling the toughest challenges.
"Let's go, chase after them, and vanquish the demons!"
The group from the Azure Radiance Palace was just about to set off.
Suddenly, the Abyss above them began to shake violently.
Space trembled, then calmed down, and everything was frozen in time.
"This is..."
The pupils of the Ancestor Kuming contracted violently.
The intertwining of life and death energies in his eyes revealed the terrifying array that had suddenly appeared beyond the Abyss.
The twelve gods and demons, each with a unique form, are like embodiments of the Great Dao, sealing away everything, evolving all things, and exhaling a hazy, chaotic Mist.
In the hazy mist, he could also vaguely hear many voices of praise.
"Homage to the Supreme Azure Emperor!"
"The Azure Emperor descended to earth, all evil fled, he rescued those in distress, and vanquished demons and monsters..."
"Praise be to His Majesty the Azure Emperor..."
Various sounds of reverence and praise echoed in the chaotic mist, as if from other Space-Time. The voices of Endless beings converged, rumbling like thunder, majestic and awe-inspiring!
"The Incense Votive Power to be used! They deserve to die! How dare they usurp the name of the Azure Emperor and collect offerings! You wicked creature! You beast!"
Upon hearing the praises, the powerful figures of the Azure Radiance Palace were filled with anger and curses, their fury flaring as if a taboo had been violated.
This is normal. In the Spirit Saint Domain, betraying one's master and ancestors is a grave crime. As disciples and grand-disciples of the Great Emperor Azure Radiance, if they do not react in such a situation, they will face extremely severe punishment upon returning home.
"Stealing the name of the Azure Emperor? Heh, just you wait and see, does your ancestor possess such a divine power?!"
The Nirvana Incarnation emerged from the chaotic mist, his black robes fluttering, his expression indifferent. Above his head, a black and white Tai Chi diagram hung high.
With a tearing sound!
The Tai Chi symbol broke apart, revealing a simple, ancient pair of scissors.
The moment these scissors appeared, the overwhelming Yin and Yang energies condensed into two beams of light.
The blades flashed and overlapped, flying straight towards the Ancestor Kuming!
A bone-chilling coldness enveloped my heart!
A profound sense of terror overwhelmed my soul!
The Ancestor Kuming felt an extreme threat of death, a rare occurrence!
"You!"
The Ancestor Kuming had eyes that were bloodshot and were about to burst. Without thinking, he burned the Spirit Ruins and shattered the Divine Ring, concentrating all his power and pouring it into his natal divine treasure, the "Book of Withered Glory and Calamity".
This divine treasure is made from the original leaves of the Divine Tree of Withering and Flourishing, and was nurtured by the Ancestor Kuming for ten thousand years. It is incredibly wondrous and can determine life and death from a distance.
Splash!
As the pages turned, an incredibly dense aura of life and death surged forth, transforming into a rising Life and Death Wheel that crashed into the intersecting yin-yang blade lights.
The two collide!
The earth- Ancestor Kuming had predicted did not materialize.
In his incredulous gaze.
The Life and Death Wheel, which was powerful enough to severely damage the Palace Master of the Golden Radiance Palace's Undying Star Body, was suddenly severed!
"No!"
The Ancestor Kuming glared angrily and roared in resentment.
However, accompanied by a clanging sound!
Another flash of blades!
A thin vertical line suddenly appeared in the middle of the body of the Ancestor Kuming.
It was actually cut in two!
