Wounded, Slaying the Enemies
The violent energy continuously impacted the protective light shield formed by the Chaos Azure Lotus and the Cauldron of Creation, stirring up ripples.
Suddenly, a tiny spatial rift Present Self, shattering two layers of protective light shields and breaking through Liu Yi's True Power shield.
A deep, bone-revealing wound was cut into his body, from which golden blood flowed continuously.
If it weren't for the protective shields of the Chaos Azure Lotus and the Cauldron of Creation, he would probably have been cut in two by the spatial rift long ago.
Liu Yi immediately used the Heaven and Earth Creation Technique to heal his injuries.
At the same time, he rushed out quickly and appeared directly in front of the remaining two Void Return Realm cultivators.
Holding the Heaven-Opening Sword, he unleashed his Heaven-Opening Divine Ability, slashing out two beams of sword light that Heaven-Opening.
"Let's get going, you two!"
The two Void Return Realm cultivators saw Liu Yi charging straight at them, disregarding the violent energy surge.
"You madman! You'd risk your life to kill us!" a Void Return Realm cultivator roared fiercely, a resolute glint in his eyes.
"If you want us dead, you won't have it easy either. We might as well die together!"
He immediately activated the forbidden technique, unleashing powerful energy from his body. His mid-grade spiritual blade slashed out with a domineering blade light, meeting the Heaven-Opening Sword head-on.
Another cultivator at the Void Return Realm immediately followed suit, unleashing a forbidden technique that released a burst of violent energy. His face contorted in a ferocious grimace, he roared, "Thunder of Divine Punishment!"
In an instant, thousands of bolts of lightning converged into a thunder dragon, roaring as it lunged at the sword light.
Two dazzling Heaven-Opening Sword, carrying immense power capable of Heaven-Opening, tore long cracks in the void wherever they passed.
The domineering blade light was shattered by the sword light before it even got close, and the roaring thunder dragon was split in two, instantly dissipating into a sky full of lightning.
The sword light, undiminished in its power, was like two sharp blades traversing the heavens and earth, effortlessly piercing the defenses of the two Void Return Realm cultivators and cleaving them in two along with their protective armor.
Their Primordial Spirit, unable to escape in time, were also completely disintegrated under the annihilating power of the sword light, resulting in their death and the annihilation of their souls.
Liu Yi's face was ashen, and the wounds from the spatial rift had not yet healed.
He then unleashed his Heaven-Opening Divine Ability twice more, causing his wounds, which had just begun to heal, to reopen.
He scanned his surroundings to make sure no one was spying on him before raising his hand and grabbing all the storage Law Treasure and Spirit Artifact left behind by the four cultivators of the Temple of the God of Light, storing them in his Storage Space.
After doing all this, he stored the Heaven-Opening Sword, the Chaos Azure Lotus, and the Cauldron of Creation into the Heavenly Dao Space of his inner world, continuing to nurture them with the World Origin.
He then unleashed the Principle of Fate and Principle of Cause and Effect, disrupting the workings of Tianji and cause and effect. Without lingering, he quickly left the battlefield in a flash.
After leaving Purple Star City, Liu Yi went straight to the small hill where he had previously secluded himself for cultivation.
He quickly formed hand seals, setting up Five Elements Defense Formation, and then released Little Yellow.
As soon as Little Yellow appeared, he saw Liu Yi's pale face and asked with concern:
"Master, are you alright? What happened just now?"
"I'm fine, just a little injured." Liu Yi sighed softly, a hint of regret in his voice as he recounted his ordeal.
"It's all my fault for being too careless. Things have been going too smoothly lately, and I got a little cocky. I underestimated the God of Light."
"Hiss!" Little Yellow suddenly opened his mouth wide, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed in disbelief:
"Master, you just said that you were surrounded and attacked by a Dao Integration Realm, three Void Return Realm, and eight Nascent Spirit Transformation Realm cultivators, and you actually killed them all?"
"Master, are you this powerful now?"
Liu Yi gently shook his head. "I was able to kill them because firstly, they were careless and didn't know my true strength; secondly, I attacked them unexpectedly."
"Even if it happened again, I wouldn't be confident of victory; I'd be lucky to escape."
He paused, then said seriously, "I need to go into seclusion to heal and recover. You will protect me."
"Yes, Master, you can go without worry!" Little Yellow nodded vigorously in response.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yi's face darkened instantly, and he slapped Little Yellow on the head. "If you can't speak properly, then shut up!"
After saying that, he turned and went into the cave, leaving Little Yellow outside clutching its head and howling in pain, wondering why he had hit it.
He entered the cave, swept away all the dust and debris with a wave of his hand, and then took out a futon and sat down cross-legged.
He then took out a drop of the World Origin from the Xuanyi World and swallowed it.
In an instant, a surge of primal power spread throughout his body, flowing like a warm current to his limbs and bones, rapidly repairing his damaged meridians and physical body.
As expected of the World Origin of the Great World, it is far superior in essence to the origin of the Grotto-Heaven World.
While circulating his Cultivation Method to guide the World Origin and heal his injuries, he calmly reviewed the battle he had just fought.
Every attack and defense was vividly replayed in my mind, and I silently summarized the gains and losses in the battle.
Purple Star City, Bai Qianqian stared at the shocking battlefield before her, her pupils suddenly contracting.
The once majestic mountain was cleaved in two by a single sword strike, the cut surface as smooth as a mirror, and the ground cracked open with three jagged ravines.
The field of vision was filled with crisscrossing sword marks, each mark exuding a destructive aura.
The scale of this terrifying battle far exceeded her comprehension; even the system had never recorded such an earth-shattering clash, it was practically a battle between Gods and Devils.
What horrified her even more was that several corpses were scattered across the battlefield.
Those were the remains of temple monks; even in death, the terrifying aura lingering on their bodies still sent chills down one's spine.
Just then, the distant chatter of survivors drifted into her ears, intermittently:
"The earth-shattering commotion in Purple Star City last night was like a battle Gods and Devils in the heavens!"
I was huddled at home, thinking I was going to die. Thank goodness for the protection of the God of Light, I was able to save my life.
"I heard that a demon attacked the temple last night! The entire temple was breached, and all the divine messengers in our city were killed!"
I also saw eight unfamiliar corpses of divine messengers at the scene, who were not from the Purple Star City Temple at all.
Fortunately, the divine messengers fought desperately to drive the demon out of the city; otherwise, very few of the city's inhabitants would have survived.
"Several more divine messengers have fallen in battle outside the city. We wonder if that demon is truly dead? May the God of Light protect us, and may our messengers utterly slay the demon!"
Upon hearing these words, Bai Qianqian's expression changed drastically.
She had originally planned to go find Liu Yi and Little Yellow, but she didn't expect to hear such news. Her heart clenched with worry.
She quickly opened Microchat and sent a message to Liu Yi: "Big brother, I went to find you today and found that the temple in Purple Star City has been destroyed."
Were you attacked by people from the Temple of the God of Light last night? Are you alright now?
After sending the message, she received no reply, and Bai Qianqian's heart sank again, her worry intensifying.
She messaged Little Yellow again. "Little Yellow, I was on my way to find you today when I discovered the temple was destroyed. I messaged my older brother but he didn't reply. Are you and your older brother alright?"
Not long after, Little Yellow replied, "Qianqian, we're fine."
Last night, the Temple of the God of Light sent one Dao Integration Realm, three Void Return Realm, and eight Spirit Transformation Realm cultivators to set up an array to besiege the master, but they were all killed by the master.
The owner is also injured and is currently recovering; they probably haven't seen your message yet.
Bai Qianqian hurriedly asked, "How is big brother's injury?"
Little Yellow replied, "My owner said it's nothing serious and I'll recover quickly."
"That's good," Bai Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief, then exclaimed:
"The battle traces in Purple Star City are terrifying! Big brother was actually able to kill Dao Integration Realm and Void Return Realm, that's amazing!"
Little Yellow replied, "Of course, Master is the most powerful, unparalleled in history, but Qianqian, you are also very powerful."
God of Light's Mountain, Headquarters of the Temple of the God of Light.
When Jiang Hao, the Light Sect Leader, learned of the deaths of Zheng Liang and his men, his expression changed drastically.
In the entire Temple of the God of Light, there were only three experts at the Dao Integration Realm, including him. Now, one of them has died, greatly weakening the temple's strength. Moreover, the enemy has not yet been killed.
He was flustered and immediately rushed to the God of Light, knelt down respectfully, formed a mudra with his hands, and used a special method to contact the God of Light.
After a long while, having received a reply from the God of Light, Jiang Hao muttered to himself:
"No matter who you are, with the God of Light present, you cannot stir up any trouble."
As he spoke, a different kind of look flickered in his eyes.
