No Way to Heaven, No Door to Earth (7.8k)

As soon as the Soul-Binding Chain was unleashed, the temperature in the underground chamber plummeted to freezing.

The pitch-black chains moved through the Void like living things, leaving only the purest nothingness in their wake.

For the first time, Lü Qingxuan was shocked and horrified.

If he were here in his true form, although he would still be wary of this divine weapon from the Underworld, he would not be so afraid of it as to fear a tiger, and he would have various means to deal with it.

But he is currently only Primordial Spirit avatar, residing in another's body. Encountering this thing is no different from encountering a natural enemy!

"This thing isn't with the Xie Household— "

He suddenly realized what was happening, his expression turning ferocious as he roared in uncontrollable rage, "Useless trash! The Xie Household has been famous for so long, yet they're all just good-for-nothings!"

The Xie Household unleashed this divine weapon, yet they still couldn't defeat the Yu Tunzhou, which only had External Scenery, and even managed to change hands!

If he were the Dao Lord behind the Xie Household, he would have crushed these good-for-nothings!

Lü Qingxuan rolled up his sleeves, attempting to escape using his Divine Ability to teleport between different realms.

However, this place is the center of the great formation, Yu Tunzhou, as the new central hub of the formation, suppressed him with the power of the immortal's remains, making it impossible for him to break through in a short period of time.

The chain had already locked onto his Primordial Spirit spirit, and no matter how he moved and darted around in the stone chamber, it was always there, and all his attempts to escape were in vain!

--+

Forced into a corner, he could only retreat, but the unknown Immortals and Gods blocking his way didn't give him a chance.

A surging aura came from behind, causing Lü Qingxuan's heart to sink.

"Martial Dao Dharma Aspect-- "

He is none other than the Central Plains Dharma Aspect, the strongest among those of the same rank in the world today!

These short-lived ghosts abandoned Changsheng and instead turned to absolute control over the laws of the universe. Therefore, even if the immortal Immortal Dao were to return to its peak in the future, they might not be able to maintain a firm advantage over the Martial Dao path at the Immortals and Gods level.

"Yu Tunzhou —Does your Daode Lineage really intend to interfere in the affairs of my Five Villages Temple?"

Lü Qingxuan let out a sharp shout, and beams of golden light shot out from his body as he used his last life-saving measure.

The failure of this plan is actually not a big deal.

Because this remains were originally an "unexpected bonus" given to the Xiao Household!

He was even prepared to sacrifice himself and fake his death to escape once the Xiao Household family arrived, just so that the remains could fall into the hands of the Xiao Household in a perfect state.

Only by convincing the Xiao Household family that this was an unexpected gain after they exposed the conspiracy of the Alliance of Immortals, and that they hadn't planned anything, would they be willing to investigate further and use the [Heaven-Monitoring Codex] to search for the location of the Human Emperor's bloodline.

At that time, he will be able to use Han Wuj iu, who is hiding among them, as an anchor point to monitor the Xiao Household's every move at any time.

Otherwise, given the Xiao Household's consistent caution, they would rather seal off the remains than take such a risk.

This was a hastily planned scheme with insufficient preparation, and its success rate may not be high, but it was the fastest way to facilitate the Xiao Household's search for the descendants of the Human Emperor in a short period of time.

Regardless of whether the plan succeeds or not, his Primordial Spirit avatar cannot perish here!

Otherwise, if he wanted to send another clone to the Central Plains, the difficulty would be no less than ascending to heaven.

But now that the Soul-Binding Chain has been unleashed, he has no way out!

He glared at Yu Tunzhou, only to find that the junior's gaze was not on him at all, but had been fixed on the immortal's remains.

It was as if he was no longer worth mentioning and could no longer cause any trouble.

Lü Qingxuan immediately felt extremely humiliated.

In an instant, a towering ancient tree phantom appeared behind him. When it appeared, the energy in the entire stone chamber stagnated, and the pursuit of the Soul-Binding Chain was also hindered.

The ancient tree rose from the ground behind Lü Qingxuan, its roots penetrating deep into the Void, connecting heaven and earth.

Hanging from the tree canopy were not fruits, but creatures resembling infants less than three days old, complete with limbs and facial features, enveloped in a faint golden light, their chests seemingly rising and falling, brimming with life with every breath.

This scene did not appear eerie at all; on the contrary, it had an indescribable sense of sacredness, drawing Yu Tunzhou's attention.

He looked over in surprise. "Ginseng Fruit Tree?"

"You youngsters, you of the same Daode Lineage, you've gone too far!"

Lü Qingxuan roared, his hands forming a seal. The ancient tree behind him suddenly swayed, shaking the Void, attempting to forcefully break the natural restrictions of this place.

Yu Tunzhou sensed that the foundation of the great formation was being shaken, and that the ancient tree phantom was descending from the Other Shore the Void with an extremely powerful force!

It can actually draw upon the power of this Spirit Root of heaven and earth----

Could this Ginseng Fruit Tree have become a spirit?

He acted decisively, releasing the celestial fan, which resembled flowing fire, from within the Vajra Bracelet.

In an instant, flames surged forth, and Immortal Dao- level flames engulfed the entire secret chamber!

The two immortal weapons surrounding the immortal's remains activated on their own, protecting the remains.

The flames were soaring into the sky. If it weren't for the immortal remains and the two immortal weapons suppressing them, not only this secret chamber, but the entire Xuanbei Commandery would have been turned into a sea of fire in an instant!

Lü Qingxuan, the only one directly facing the immortal fire, trembled violently and exclaimed, "[Golden Crow Heavenly Fire Fan]?!"

Previously, Five Villages Temple dared not venture deep into the Northern Plains because it was wary of the Xie Household's various resources and influence.

But now----

Has this kid from the Daode Lineage" emptied the entire Xie Household's coffers?!

With so many divine weapons and the support of Immortals and Gods, how could the Xie Household possibly be defeated and forced to retreat to the mortal realm?

These idiots are utterly useless!

Had he known the Xie Household was such a waste, why would he have waited until now to dare venture deep into the Northern Plains!

The sea of fire engulfed the ancient tree's illusory image, and Lü Qingxuan could feel his connection with the Ginseng Fruit Tree being severed.

"You brat!"

He roared, knowing there was no hope of retreating, so he stopped retreating and charged towards Yu Tunzhou. His Primordial Spirit clone burst out with dazzling golden light, intending to self-destruct.

Returning is impossible, but there is still a chance to follow the heavenly secrets and send the information back to the original being in the distant heavens!

As long as we can break through the blockade of this great formation!

Just then...

A dark, shadowy chain shot out from the void, giving Lü Qingxuan no chance to react, piercing into his body and locking onto his Primordial Spirit clone!

In an instant, Lü Qingxuan froze on the spot, unable to move.

His Primordial Spirit clone tried to struggle, but then heard an arrogant voice. "I am Youyin Ghost Immortal under the Dao Lord! You immoral beast, surrender now!"

Lü Qingxuan's eyes widened in fury; a mere Ghost Immortal immortal—

The Soul-Binding Chain tightened suddenly, and under the control of the Youyin Rogue Person, it forcefully pulled Lü Qingxuan's Primordial Spirit clone out of his body.

Once his Primordial Spirit left his body, coupled with the suppression of the Soul-Binding Chain, Lü Qingxuan's aura plummeted, and he no longer possessed the abilities that had previously rivaled those of an immortal Immortals and Gods.

Seeing that Lü Qingxuan had already been captured.

With a thought, Yu Tunzhou unleashed the power of the Vajra Bracelet once more, drawing the immortal fire in the secret chamber, along with the [Golden Crow Heavenly Fire Fan] from Lü Qingxuan's mouth, into the bracelet.

Despite its renewed efforts, the latter was no match for the combined power of the Vajra Bracelet and the immortal's remains, and was forcibly stored away.

Yu Tunzhou felt somewhat regretful. The power that this immortal fan could unleash on its own had reached the level of Immortals and Gods. If it weren't for the Vajra Bracelet restraining it, he wouldn't have been able to suppress this immortal artifact.

Unfortunately, the spirit within was too arrogant, ignoring even the Xie Household's words, let alone his.

How to master it is a difficult problem.

"Yu Tunzhou - You're very good - "

Lü Qingxuan's voice was extremely weak, yet he still stared intently at the young man before him.

"You think you've won? This is just—"

His voice abruptly stopped.

Han Wuj iu lunged forward viciously and slapped him hard across the face.

Although Lü Qingxuan is now Primordial Spirit avatar, he was still struck by a palm, causing his consciousness to scatter, yet he could not break free from the imprisonment of the Soul-Binding Chain.

"What kind of Yu Tunzhou? Calling yourself Master Fish! You blind fool, don't you even know what the situation is now? Is this your time to be jumping around?"

Han Wuj iu spat, then turned around and said obsequiously, "True Lord, if you hand him over to me, I promise I'll get everything he knows out of him!"

Yu Tunzhou nodded casually, his gaze returning to the remains of the immortal.

Inside the body of this immortal's remains----

It seems there's a hidden entrance?

Is this what Lü Qingxuan and the Alliance of Immortals are after?

"What did he say to you before?" Yu Tunzhou asked Han Wuj iu.

Han Wuj iu hesitated for a moment, then confessed everything he had previously extracted from him.

This includes the true identity of the remains and Lü Qingxuan's motives for harming him.

"The Human Emperor's Guard----"

Yu Tunzhou's eyes flickered as he looked at Lü Qingxuan: "Is your true purpose the Northern Sea Palace, or the Human Emperor's Inner Heaven and Earth?"

Han Wuj iu slapped him again, saying menacingly, "Didn't you hear me asking you a question?"

The Youyin Rogue Person tightened the Soul-Binding Chain. This object not only had the ability to forcibly bind the Primordial Spirit and soul, but also the ability to torment the Primordial Spirit and soul.

Lü Qingxuan gave Han Wuj iu a cold look, which made the latter feel uneasy, only then remembering that the other party's true form was still sitting high in the sky.

However, the thought that this primordial Primordial Spirit clone had no chance of returning to its original body, and that the latter would never know what had happened today, Han Wuj iu straighten his chest again, his hands itching.

The chance to slap Golden Immortal's clone across the face is extremely rare!

"The Xiao Household family has already arrived outside the city. If you also want to open the Human Emperor's Immortal Heaven, don't reveal your presence. Lend this person into the city and let him steal this immortal's remains."

"Only the Xiao Household's [Heaven-Monitoring Codex] has the potential to find the remnants of the Human Emperor, and thus discover the method to unlock the Human Emperor's Immortal Heaven."

Lü Qingxuan said in a weak and low voice.

He had already grasped the situation and knew that there was no way he could turn back; he had already stepped into the trap that Yu Tunzhou had laid out in advance.

He had even less reason to help the Xiao Household family escape this trap.

If we can persuade Yu Tunzhou to cooperate and Human Emperor's Immortal Heaven to open smoothly, this trip won't be a complete waste of resources.

"The Legacy of the Human Emperor ----"

The Yu Tunzhou, muttering to itself.

The Alliance of Immortals's true target is indeed the Human Emperor's Inner Heaven and Earth.

This also aligns with what the Immortal Cauldron had said in the past.

The last bloodline of the Human Emperor vanished in the Northern Plains.

No one knows whether they are hiding their identities or residing in some secluded paradise.

"Heaven-Monitoring Codex?"

Yu Tunzhou glanced sideways and asked, "Senior Jiang, have you heard of this divine weapon?"

Jiang Wenxuan walked slowly down from above, nodded, and said, "This is the clan's treasure of the Divine Capital Xiao Household."

"At its peak, it could control the movement of the sun, moon, and stars, ensure the normal flow of the four seasons, and even determine the calamities of heaven and earth, influencing the decline and fall of the Mortal Realm and the rise and fall of immortals in the Three Realms."

Jiang Wenxuan paused, then said solemnly, "This is an unparalleled divine weapon, said to be the natal artifact of the Great Emperor Ziwei, and also important evidence of the Xiao Household's lineage within the Purple Forbidden Enclosure tradition."

"The Purple Forbidden Enclosure Tradition?"

Yu Tunzhou shook his head and said, "The Great Emperor Ziwei died when the Primeval Heavenly Court collapsed. I saw his body in the Heavenly Court."

Jiang Wenxuan's expression changed drastically. "What did you say?"

Everyone present was deeply moved upon hearing the news that the Great Emperor Ziwei had already passed away.

"Impossible—" Han Wuj iu exclaimed in shock, "The Purple Forbidden Enclosure Dharma Lineage still has its lineage outside the heavens, and it still possesses considerable power!"

Yu Tunzhou then looked at Lü Qingxuan, whose gaze had darkened. "Only the [Heaven-Monitoring Codex] can find the remnants of the Human Emperor?"

He immediately thought of An Ruyu.

It's almost certain that An Ruyu's purpose in appearing in Northern Plains was to seek out the remnants of the Human Emperor or the Human Emperor's Immortal Heaven.

"You went to great lengths to lure the Zhaoyang Li Household and the people of the Chixia Sect here, using these two divine weapons as a catalyst to awaken the power within the immortal's remains, just so that the Xiao Household family could steal this immortal's remains?"

"Yu Tunzhou," Yu asked.

Lü Qingxuan coldly replied, "The Xiao Household family has always been cautious and never takes risks. Only in this way can we lure them into our trap."

"Given the time constraints, I had no time to plan ahead. To have achieved this is already turning the impossible into the possible."

The Yu Tunzhou is neither affirmative nor negative.

It now seems that the old man's backup plan was "Han Wuj iu".

They would hide Han Wuj iu inside the remnant's Inner Heaven and Earth, and then use their control over Han Wuj iu to constantly monitor the Xiao Household's progress.

Even now that he has captured it, it is still not satisfied and wants to send this immortal's remains to the Xiao Household family.

What a waste of common sense.

He looked at Jiang Wenxuan: "Senior Jiang, what are the chances that the Xiao Household family will bring the [Heaven-Monitoring Codex] to the Northern Plains?"

Jiang Wenxuan shook his head. "That divine weapon has never left the Divine Capital for ten thousand years, nor does Divine Capital need to. Theoretically, wherever it is, it is sufficient to monitor any part of the Central Plains."

Yu Tunzhou's expression suddenly turned serious.

By sitting in the Divine Capital, can one truly have a complete grasp of the world?

Is it possible that the Xiao Household has been aware of my experiences in Northern Plains?

Jiang Wenxuan glanced upwards and paused, then said, "You don't need to worry too much. Since ancient times, successive imperial families have supported the Three Rankings to suppress the Xiao Household's [Heaven-Monitoring Codex]. Those on the rankings also receive the the Unseen protection of the Three Rankings, shielding them from the surveillance of the [Heaven-Monitoring Codex]."

"Furthermore, the [Heaven-Monitoring Codex] consumes a great deal of resources, so the Xiao Household will not use it lightly."

"The grand formation currently being used by the Luo Household is not something that the [Heaven-Monitoring Codex] can easily penetrate."

Yu Tunzhou understood, and said regretfully, "I wanted to see if I was destined to have this, but now it seems I'll have to wait for the right opportunity."

Lü Qingxuan sneered, "You actually dare to try and seize the [Heaven-Monitoring Codex] from the Xiao Household? Even I wouldn't dare to covet the Xiao Household in the Central Plains!"

Yu Tunzhou laughed and said, "So what if it's the Xie Household?"

Lü Qingxuan was speechless for a moment.

Although he was Golden Immortal, the Central Plains was too special, and he dared not easily provoke the Xie Household before his true form descended.

As both are Dao Lord- level forces, apart from lacking a peerless divine weapon like the [Heaven-Monitoring Codex], the Xie Household's foundation is not much weaker than the Xiao Household's.

What he never expected was that the Xie Household had become so useless!

After the Xie Household's defeat, everyone speculated about what methods Yu Tunzhou had used, and whether there had been internal changes within the Xie Household that allowed the former to take advantage of their weakness.

But now it seems the Xie Household is utterly useless.

Despite unleashing several divine weapons, they not only failed to suppress Yu Tunzhou, but also lost all their own divine weapons, ultimately forcing their entire clan to flee in panic to the mortal realm.

If he gets the chance to send the message back, he will make sure the Xie Household loses all face and reputation!

"What do you intend to do?" Jiang Wenxuan asked, "Follow this person's plan?"

Yu Tunzhou immediately shook his head. "This guy is just selling off his father's property without a care in the world. Anyway, the remains and the immortal weapon aren't his. He's just betting that the Xiao Household will act according to his plan."

Even if the Xiao Household didn't do that, he wouldn't suffer any loss. On the contrary, he would have gained some extra resources. With Han Wuj iu an eye on him, he might be able to use him in the future.

"I'm different from him; I have no interest in handing over all the initiative to the Xiao Household family."

He suddenly laughed and asked, "Senior Jiang, could you sense the strength of the people from the Xiao Household?"

Jiang Wenxuan said, "I sensed it just now. The aura was extremely concealed. I could only sense the general location. There are very few people in the Xiao Household with this level of strength on the surface."

"If I'm not mistaken, it's most likely Xiao Runyu's fifth on the Earth Ranking."

"Fifth on the Earth Ranking?" A glint flashed in Yu Tunzhou's eyes. "Losing a powerhouse of this caliber would be incredibly painful for the Xiao Household, wouldn't it?"

Not long ago, forces from the Central Province intervened in the Northern Plains Northern Plains, disrupting the situation there after the Xie Household's disappearance.

There were even people behind the scenes orchestrating the three demon gods of the Demon Race to besiege him.

Now that the Xiao Household family has appeared here, the answer is self-evident.

"Xiao Runyu should be carrying a celestial weapon, but I wonder if she has any other means of survival," Jiang Wenxuan pondered. "The safest course of action is to lure her into the city, suppress her with the city's defensive formation, and cut off her escape route."

Yu Tunzhou immediately nodded. "Then let the people above put on another show."

He glanced at Han Wuj iu: "You go too, cooperate with them, and lure the Xiao Household family into the city."

Xuanbei Commandery.

Zhang Qianyun held the immortal sword and stood respectfully behind Xiao Runyu.

The latter gazed at the great battle raging in the city.

"The Fang Household has indeed joined the Alliance of Immortals."

"Strange, none of the disciples from Five Villages Temple have shown up. Instead, it's Fang Lanshan and another person holding the fort—"

Xiao Runyu's eyes flickered as he analyzed the situation in the city. A sudden thought popped into his mind, "Could it be that person has already infiltrated, found the location of the immortal's remains, and is about to succeed?"

As soon as this guess came to mind, she immediately ordered Zhang Qianyun to bring the immortal sword into the city to help the Luo Household suppress the people of the Alliance of Immortals.

Zhang Qianyun immediately received the order and rushed to Xuanbei Commandery.

Before long, he appeared, sword in hand, like a divine warrior descending from the heavens, charging into the battlefield, shouting with high spirits, "Brother Luo, Brother Li, Brother Xiao! I, Zhang, have come to your aid!"

Holding the Chixia Immortal Saber, Xiao Hong dared not step forward. But upon seeing him descend, a look of joy immediately appeared on his rugged face, and he hurriedly urged, "Brother Zhang, make your move quickly!"

"That group from the Alliance of Immortals has infiltrated the Luo Household's secret territory and is currently vying with Elder Luo for control of the central core of the great formation!"

Zhang Qianyun glanced around and, sure enough, did not see the Luo Lineage patriarch, the old woman Luo.

He no longer hesitated. "Gentlemen, let's make a move together!"

He immediately drew his Seven Stars Sword.

With a resounding hum, the Seven Stars Sword soared into the sky, and immediately several beams of starlight fell from the heavens, their source pointing towards the Seven Stars of the Northern Dipper.

Fang Lanshan was ahead, was enveloped by a beam of starlight. His expression changed drastically, and he felt his whole body stiffen. Even the immortal weapon in his hand could not be moved.

He stared in astonishment at the celestial sword in Zhang Qianyun's hand, which was actually wielding power almost like that of an immortal!

Zhang Qianyun shouted fiercely, "Fang Lanshan, you have aided and abetted evil, harming my Northern Plains Aristocratic Clan. Today, I, Zhang, will kill you for the sake of Northern Plains!"

"Go!"

The Seven Stars Sword immediately struck down, and the vast starlight, like a sea, instantly engulfed Fang Lanshan.

At the critical moment, Han Wuj iu pulled Fang Lanshan out of the suppression of starlight.

Then, as he activated the talisman array in his hand, it instantly transformed into a small world, covering the surrounding area and blocking the falling starlight from the heavens.

Zhang Qianyun frowned. "Brother Li, how did your Li Household's Immortal Dao Talisman Formation fall into this person's hands?"

Li Yuanming sighed and said with a wry smile, "I just learned that my clan's talisman array was Law Treasure left behind by the immortal of the Luo Household. The other party had a way to control it and forcibly took the talisman array from my hands."

Zhang Qianyun frowned. The Li Household's talisman array wasn't particularly powerful, but it was extremely difficult to break.

Even the Xie Household couldn't break through back then!

"Brother Xiao, where is your Chixia Sect's Immortal Blade? Let's combine our swords and attack together!" he said in a deep voice.

Xiao Hong smiled bitterly, "Brother Zhang, this immortal blade in my hand was the divine weapon of that immortal's remains. Non-Self Chixia Sect still has some means, the immortal blade would have changed hands just now. But now I can't use it anymore."

Zhang Qianyun exclaimed in shock, "Both of your families' immortal soldiers are—"

Xiao Hong said urgently, "This time we've fallen into the trap set by the Fang Household and the Alliance of Immortals!"

"If we lose this battle, the Alliance of Immortals will obtain three magical Law Treasure comparable to Immortal Dao- level artifacts." We must not let them succeed!

"Brother Zhang, act quickly! If we delay any longer, the immortal remains of the Luo Household will be the first to change hands!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qianyun already sensed something was wrong.

When he was watching the battle earlier, he thought that Xiao Hong and his group were on the offensive, while Fang Lanshan was on the defensive.

But now it seems the situation has reached its worst point!

This Alliance of Immortals and the Fang Household had indeed planned this all along!

With just a simple scheme, the Chixia Sect and the Li Household, along with their celestial soldiers, willingly walked into the trap.

Zhang Qianyun, who felt he had seen through the truth, broke out in a cold sweat.

Although he could wield the Seven Stars Sword at an immortal level, the opposing immortals had added Immortal Dao Talisman Formation—

How can we break through this quickly?!

As for them, they are not qualified to interfere in this battle for celestial weapons.

Fang Lanshan sneered, "Brother Zhang, you're too late. The remaining Immortal Dao artifacts in the Northern Plains will all fall into our hands!"

Zhang Qianyun immediately sent a telepathic message to Xiao Runyu outside the city, telling her the whole truth and their current situation.

If we had been any later, the immortal remains might have fallen into the hands of the Alliance of Immortals!

At that time, with the remains of an immortal as a catalyst, even the Chixia Sect's immortal sword might not be able to be saved!

"Elder Xiao, we have no choice but to ask you for help now!"

But no matter how he tried to contact them, the other party remained unresponsive.

Xiao Runyu gazed at the battle raging in the city, observing the turbulent energy within, his eyes cold, and he did not rush into the city.

Is this the scheme of the thieves from Five Villages Temple?

Luring the Chixia Sect and the Li Household into the scheme, and then gaining three Immortal Dao- level relics and immortal weapons in one go, is not entirely unreasonable.

The reason for choosing to act tonight is because both the Li Household and the Chixia Sect are present?

But she instinctively felt that things weren't that simple, though she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

At this moment, Xiao Runyu couldn't help but list the threats that Northern Plains might pose to her.

The greatest threat was Jiang Wenxuan, who was stationed in the Northern Dark Sea.

Jiang Wenxuan has already stabilized his Dharma Aspect Realm. Given his foundation and methods, even if I wield a celestial weapon and can remotely invoke the power of the [Heaven-Monitoring Codex], I am no match for him.

Besides that, there's Yu Tunzhou, whose methods are unknown, who destroyed the Xie Household.

But the former, preoccupied with his own affairs in the Northern Dark Sea, would hardly have the time to cause her trouble, let alone conspire with the Alliance of Immortals just to lure her into a trap?

As for the latter, it was already arranged by all parties in advance to lure away three demon gods.

Even if Yu Tunzhou were incredibly powerful, he still couldn't possibly defeat three demon gods.

Even if this child is truly destined to survive and is protected by heaven, he can at most save his own life; he wouldn't have the spare power to harm me.

Excluding these two people----

Almost all of the remaining Immortal Dao techniques in Northern Plains are now located in the city.

The only remaining threat to him might be the hidden experts within the Alliance of Immortals.

"The Alliance of Immortals ----"

Xiao Runyu finally made up his mind.

"I'd like to see if you've prepared a grand gift for me."

She flashed and entered the city.

The Grandmaster's perception instantly enveloped the entire Xuanbei Commandery, attempting to identify any potential threats, but he only sensed two opposing and colliding auras a hundred feet underground from the Luo Household's residence.

Her eyes sparkled, and a slight smile crept onto her lips.

Were the thieves at Five Villages Temple really plotting to steal the immortal's remains?

Without further hesitation, she moved swiftly and instantly entered the battlefield within the Luo Household's territory.

Several terrifying energies collided ahead, surging like tides, but were contained within a certain range by the Luo Household's grand formation.

Xiao Runyu's gaze was fixed on the entrance to the stone chamber guarded by Fang Lanshan and the other person.

She suddenly raised her hand.

The Seven Stars Sword, which was suppressing the Fang Household's immortal soldiers and Immortal Dao Talisman Formation, instantly fell into her hand.

Seven stars swirled on the sword's blade, drawing down the light of the Big Dipper, creating an awe-inspiring display of power.

She raised her sword and slashed down.

The Immortal Dao Talisman Formation shattered with a deafening roar!

Han Wuj iu's expression changed drastically. A true Immortals and Gods?!

This woman wields a divine weapon whose power has reached the level of a true Immortals and Gods!

He retreated frantically, while Fang Lanshan was standing to the side, tried to raise his sword, but was crushed into the ground by the surging starlight.

Zhang Qianyun exclaimed with delight, "Elder Xiao is truly awe-inspiring!"

Xiao Runyu's eyes sharpened, and instead of engaging the two men, he raised his sword and slashed at the ground with all his might!

Regardless of what ambushes lie below, let's take her sword first!

But at that moment, something unexpected happened!

A vast aura suddenly rose up, like a surging ocean, instantly sealing off the entire Xuanbei Commandery.

The true form of the Martial Dao Dharma Aspect Dharma Aspect stands between heaven and earth, held aloft in the palm of his hand. His green robe flutters in the wind, his majesty is like a prison, sealing off the entire sky.

He didn't say a word, but the overwhelming pressure made Xiao Runyu turn around and run without hesitation.

That is----

Jiang Wenxuan!!!

The Seven Stars Sword suddenly ripped through the Void, drawing down endless starlight that swept across the entire Xuanbei Commandery!

She wanted to see whether Jiang Wenxuan would prioritize saving the countless people of Xuanbei Commandery or stopping her!

The next moment, countless intricate array patterns lit up all over Xuanbei Commandery, spreading like a spider web and enveloping every inch of land and every corner of the Void.

The sky above the city was sealed off by an invisible barrier, blocking out starlight, moonlight, and even the flow of energy from the Central Province.

This is the Luo Household's all-out defensive formation!

"Fifth on the Earth Ranking, Grandmaster Xiao Runyu of the Xiao Household."

The voice came from above her head, as if the speaker were standing in the sky looking down.

"More than three years ago, when I first looked through the Three Rankings of Heaven, Earth, and Man, I already saw Elder Xiao's name. I have truly long admired your name."

Xiao Runyu felt as if a thousand-pound burden was pressing down on his shoulders. He struggled to look up and saw a figure that should never have been there.

And in the distant sky...

Jiang Wenxuan's true Dharma Aspect stood majestically, its aura as vast as the sea, sealing off all the surrounding Void.

They were truly trapped with nowhere to turn!

Xiao Runyu's eyes showed despair and disbelief.

She wouldn't be surprised no matter which expert from the Alliance of Immortals appeared this time.

But the two options he had ruled out beforehand were the only ones that stood out.

She simply couldn't accept it!

"Yu Tunzhou!!"

"Even three demon Divine Capital couldn't do anything to you?!"

Xiao Runyu spoke slowly and deliberately, his robes fluttering without wind, his hair flying, and his Inner Qi surging like a volcano.

She shouted sharply, instantly activating the spirit of the immortal sword and unleashing a powerful strike at the cost of sacrificing her own essence!

The seven stars on the Seven Stars Sword exploded simultaneously, transforming into seven pillars of light that Tongtian, each possessing the power of an immortal's Divine Ability ability.

At this moment, the sword itself let out a mournful cry of unbearable strain, and cracks began to appear.

After recognizing the situation, she decisively decided to sacrifice her celestial weapon in exchange for a blow that was enough to severely damage the Dharma Aspect.

What awaited her was the combined suppression of Yu Tunzhou and Jiang Wenxuan!

Yu Tunzhou raises its hand and pushes.

Above the Xuanbei Commandery awakened, suddenly lit up, revealing a majestic phantom of an immortal.

With a buzzing sound, the Chixia Immortal Saber and the Immortal Dao Talisman Formation simultaneously shot out, circling the illusory figure and unleashing terrifying power far exceeding that before, instantly suppressing the Seven Stars Sword.

At that moment, the majestic Dharma Aspect pressed down with a single palm strike.

There were no Divine Ability powers or spells involved, yet this palm strike demonstrated absolute control over the laws of nature. It revealed the most fundamental principle of this world: all things have their predetermined fate, and all laws have their limits!

Under the overwhelming palm force, Xiao Runyu's all-out sword strike, the seven pillars Tongtian light formed from the seven stars, disintegrated and dissolved layer by layer when they touched the palm of the Dharma Aspect.

The Seven Stars Sword let out its final mournful cry.

A clearly visible crack spread across the sword's blade, and with no more strength remaining, its luster dimmed.

Xiao Runyu's face showed despair. Even with the immortal sword in his hand, was the gap between him and Jiang Wenxuan still so vast?

"There are indeed examples in this world of Grandmaster briefly contending with Dharma Aspect."

Jiang Wenxuan's voice came from above, calm and indifferent, "But it won't be me, and it won't be you."
