Chapter 1799: Unrivaled in Sixteen Kalpas
Boundless Elder immediately reacted. Countless roots of the World Tree, like spears thrusting down from the sky, plunged into the land of the Ancestral Court. Innumerable other roots extended in all directions, piercing the walls of the Ancestral Court’s seal!
He and Second Young Master Wuji were naturally opposed, mutually restraining each other. They belonged to the same type of indestructible substance, but were opposite sides of the same coin.
In the previous kalpas of destruction, when the World Tree took root amidst the destruction, Boundless Elder always actively avoided the Guixu Abyss, unwilling to collide with it. He knew that the Guixu Abyss was a power capable of destroying him.
If he were sent into the Guixu Abyss by Qin Mu, Third Young Master Lingxiao, and Fourth Young Master Zixiao, then both of them would inevitably suffer a continuous decline in cultivation and strength, and might even perish together!
When Cloud Sovereign killed Wuji’s clone, and when Lan Yutian and Xushenghua killed the Empress Dowager, they used similar methods. However, their methods involved trapping Wuji’s clone and the Empress Dowager within the Ultimate Void, which was not violent. Wuji’s clone and the Empress Dowager had time to escape.
Cloud Sovereign used his life to detain Wuji’s clone, delaying the time for Wuji to break free. Lan Yutian and Xushenghua ultimately relied on the Blue-Gray divine ability to claim the Empress Dowager’s life.
But directly stuffing Boundless Elder’s true body into the Guixu Abyss would trigger a dissolution and annihilation of terrifying proportions!
The World Tree’s roots plunged into the land of the Ancestral Court, drilling deep underground. The earth rumbled and shook violently, and towering divine mountains rose up one after another. On the other side, when the World Tree’s roots pierced the walls of the Ancestral Court, a strange event occurred.
Before the World Tree’s roots even touched the walls, Dao light erupted. Various bizarre and powerful divine abilities actually repelled the roots!
At the same time, Third Young Master Lingxiao lifted the World Tree, while Fourth Young Master Zixiao severed the roots that had burrowed into the Ancestral Court’s ground, sending the World Tree into the Guixu Abyss.
Both of them also noticed the strange phenomenon on the Ancestral Court’s walls and felt a chill in their hearts.
Those walls were the four vast, boundless barriers created by Qin Mu using immense divine power to forcibly fold the Ancestral Court.
Qin Mu had altered the geography and even imprinted his own Dao onto them, continuously reinforcing and sealing these four “walls,” hoping to trap everyone inside and prevent them from interfering with the outside world.
But everyone knew that the Ancestral Court was far too vast. With Qin Mu’s strength, sealing it was possible, but turning it into a treasure was absolutely impossible.
That would require too much energy, too much wisdom, too much divine power, and an extremely long time.
Qin Mu didn’t have that much time, such an experience, such abundant divine power, or such great wisdom. Therefore, he could never refine the Ancestral Court into a treasure.
Yet the Dao light erupting from the Ancestral Court’s walls repelled the World Tree’s roots, making their hearts sink. Things they thought Qin Mu couldn’t possibly accomplish, he had somehow managed to do!
The Ancestral Court was already showing signs of being refined into a treasure by Qin Mu!
If the Ancestral Court were completely refined into a treasure, how vast would that treasure be? How terrifying would its power be?
“Seventh Junior Brother is a huge threat!”
Third Young Master Lingxiao and Fourth Young Master Zixiao exchanged a glance, reading each other’s minds.
Boom!
In the nick of time, accompanied by a deafening roar, Boundless Elder and the World Tree were shoved into the Guixu Abyss in the sky by the three of them.
Compared to Second Young Master Wuji, they indeed carried the “aura of the weak.” But with the three of them joining forces, plus Boundless Elder, and using their wits against the unwary, they could definitely trap Boundless Elder and Wuji thoroughly!
The three figures followed the World Tree and Boundless Elder into the Guixu Abyss.
Qin Mu raised his hand, and a lotus leaf spread across the sky like a canopy, sealing the entrance to the abyss.
Behind him, Moon Sovereign also followed in, carefully observing her surroundings, not daring to be careless.
The moment Boundless Elder and the World Tree fell into the abyss, the two terrifying forces collided and annihilated each other, causing an exceptionally violent destruction within the Guixu Chaotic Sea!
Boundless Elder and Second Young Master Wuji both let out piercing screams, surging back and forth within the Guixu, making the abyss extremely unstable!
Countless branches and roots of the World Tree extended in all directions. Some plunged into the Chaotic Sea, drawing power from the chaos, while others pierced the walls of the Guixu Abyss, causing the chaotic stones there to collapse and fall into the sea.
Boundless Elder and Wuji almost simultaneously launched deadly attacks at each other!
At that moment, they both realized that only by eliminating the other could they have a chance to survive, avoiding mutual annihilation of body and spirit!
Third Young Master Lingxiao, Fourth Young Master Zixiao, and Qin Mu soared into the air, charging at the two, while simultaneously blocking the entrance to the Guixu, preventing either from escaping.
The Guixu Abyss became a cage for trapped beasts. A three-way melee erupted, with pitch-black Guixu divine abilities everywhere, devouring everything. Wuji’s white hair fluttered as she activated her divine abilities with all her might, shouting fiercely, “Third, Fourth, Seventh! You harm your fellow disciples—how will you explain this to the teacher?”
Third Young Master Lingxiao, murderous intent boiling, thrust his Dao spear through a Guixu black hole, stabbing straight at Wuji’s brow, and said coldly, “Second Sister, who killed Zhanji? Are you still unclear?”
Wuji dodged the spear, but suddenly the lotus platform beneath her feet shook. A lotus leaf flew up and wrapped around her with a swoosh!
Bang!
Third Young Master Lingxiao was actually crushed into a bloody mist by the lotus leaf. When the leaf opened, only a pile of shattered bones and Lingxiao’s Dao spear remained inside.
Lingxiao’s physical body was that of Heavenly Lord Hao, far inferior to a powerhouse like Wuji. He suffered from the disadvantage of weaker divine power and a weaker body, and was killed in a single move!
Qin Mu pointed a finger, and the Indestructible divine ability erupted. Before the bloody mist and broken bones could be swallowed by the Chaotic Sea, Lingxiao stood intact on the lotus leaf once more.
Wuji roared in anger. Suddenly, a section of lotus root flew up from the Chaotic Sea. The root had sixteen holes, and a stream of air shot toward Qin Mu.
Whoosh—
Qin Mu’s body dissolved, quickly turning into a pile of white bones. Then even the bones shattered under the strange airflow spewing from the lotus root’s holes.
After that gust of kalpa wind, Qin Mu had completely vanished!
“Zhanji’s death has nothing to do with me!”
Wuji, having killed Lingxiao and Qin Mu in succession, was filled with murderous intent and shouted fiercely, “If I had done it, why would I hide it?”
Fourth Young Master Zixiao and Boundless Elder’s attacks landed on her. Zixiao’s attacks were manageable, but Boundless Elder’s assault made her spit blood.
Wuji grew ruthless and struck to kill them both: “If you won’t listen to reason, then I’ll just kill you! I was planning to kill you all anyway!”
Suddenly, the Chaotic Sea trembled. A Chaotic Hall rose from the sea, its doors wide open. Qin Mu walked out, raised his hand to guide Moon Sovereign over, and said, “Enter my hall.”
Wuji flicked her fingers repeatedly. The body of the Dao-achiever controlled by Fourth Young Master Zixiao trembled as lotus seeds shot into him, piercing bloody holes.
Those seeds rapidly expanded inside him, sprouting roots. Zixiao split apart, and the lotus roots absorbed all the energy from his body in an instant!
“Indestructible divine ability!”
Qin Mu hid Moon Sovereign safely and pointed again. The Indestructible divine ability erupted. The lotus plants that had taken root inside Zixiao rapidly shrank back into seeds. Zixiao’s shattered body instantly restored itself. He plucked his zither, and a great sound erupted. Countless Dao domains, like countless blades, slashed toward Wuji!
Chi chi chi!
Wuji fought desperately, but still suffered dozens of wounds. Suddenly, her hand shot out, unleashing the power of nearly sixteen kalpas of destruction!
Boundless Elder was grabbed by her palm. Before he even reached her, he was nearly torn apart!
Third Young Master Lingxiao thrust his spear from behind into her back. Wuji gritted her teeth, her silver hair flying. Chi chi chi! Countless silver hairs pierced Lingxiao’s body, shredding him into pieces with a swoosh!
“Is Wuji this strong?”
Qin Mu’s eyes widened. The vertical eye on his forehead opened. He stepped forward and activated the red rope knot behind Wuji, which had not yet been fully refined, and shouted, “Yue, cut the sixth red rope!”
He had originally thought that sending the World Tree and Boundless Elder into the Guixu Abyss would greatly reduce Wuji’s cultivation and strength, making her easy to handle. Then, after Wuji and Boundless Elder were severely wounded by them, he could have Moon Sovereign disrupt the Fourth Young Master and force back the Third Young Master, buying Yan’kang a few more tens of thousands of years of development.
But what he hadn’t expected was that even with the World Tree and Boundless Elder in the Guixu Abyss, with Wuji’s cultivation and power constantly depleting, and even with the red rope knot not yet fully refined, Wuji could still suppress and beat them all!
This forced him to use his final trump card!
Inside the Chaotic Hall, Moon Sovereign quickly looked up. At the only entrance to the abyss, where Qin Mu’s lotus leaf blocked it, she saw a net of red ropes.
The net was formed by five red ropes, but there was a sixth rope that was not part of the net.
Her heart stirred. She set up her ancient zither in front of the hall and plucked the strings.
Zheng zheng zheng!
Countless spatial divine abilities surged upward. The next moment, the sixth red rope was severed!
If the sixth red rope were pulled open, the red rope knot would unravel, and Second Young Master Wuji would break free. But if the sixth rope were cut, the power of the red rope knot seal would fully erupt!
The master of the Miluo Palace couldn’t bear to kill his own disciple, so he gave Wuji a chance to live, hoping she would awaken. The sixth red rope controlled the power of the red rope knot seal, maintaining balance.
When Moon Sovereign cut that rope, at the entrance to the Guixu Abyss, Qin Mu’s lotus leaf suddenly broke apart, turned to ash, and vanished.
A giant crimson hand descended from the sky, pressing down so heavily that the Chaotic Sea became eerily calm. Everyone on the sea felt a surge of pressure, groaning as they struggled to stabilize themselves.
Qin Mu activated the Indestructible divine ability, reviving Third Young Master Lingxiao and Boundless Elder. He stepped back under the pressure of the master of the Miluo Palace’s seal, blocking Moon Sovereign inside the Chaotic Hall.
The crimson palm print fell. Wuji met the blow head-on, shouting fiercely, “Teacher, your seal technique has been mostly broken by me! It can’t harm me in the slightest! Your divine abilities are outdated—mine are the true essence of the universe!”
Boom!
The palm print collided with her. Wuji’s face showed disbelief as blood poured from her eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. The lotus platform beneath her feet shattered.
The Chaotic Sea split open, swallowing her form.
The master of the Miluo Palace’s palm pressed her down, driving her all the way to the unfathomable depths of the Chaotic Sea!
Violent tremors came from within the Guixu Abyss, likely caused by the palm print hitting the seabed.
Boundless Elder hugged the World Tree, his body swaying like a leaf in the wind under the violent impact, his face filled with disbelief.
Third Young Master Lingxiao and Fourth Young Master Zixiao watched this scene, their hearts filled with boundless reverence.
“The red rope knot seal can be used like this?” Qin Mu was deeply shaken.
Among everyone present, he had the deepest understanding of the red rope knot seal, but even he hadn’t fully grasped all its variations.
When the master of the Miluo Palace’s divine ability erupted, he was truly stunned. Countless variations of the red rope knot seal flooded his mind.
“Teacher, you didn’t kill me! Hehehe…”
The Chaotic Sea split open. Wuji, her hair disheveled, rose step by step from beneath the sea, murderous intent boiling, and shouted, “Today, not one of you will leave alive! I will erase all of you from the history of the entire sixteenth kalpa! Make it so that your kind of matter never existed!”
Third Young Master Lingxiao and Fourth Young Master Zixiao’s faces changed drastically. They each activated their Dao weapons, ready for battle.
Now, Wuji had completely broken free from the master of the Miluo Palace’s seal!
Suddenly, Qin Mu laughed and said, “Second Sister, why force yourself? You know you can’t scare us away.”
Wuji turned her head and glared fiercely at him. Qin Mu remained calm, a faint Dao light emanating from the vertical eye on his forehead, and said softly, “You know, I can see through the Chaotic Sea. Nothing that happens at the bottom escapes my eyes.”
Pfft—
Wuji spat blood toward the sky, her aura weakening.
—Happy birthday, Jun Hao Mo!
