# Chapter 3050: Spiritual Power Storm
Not long after Void Heaven left, space and time violently trembled as a spiritual power storm spread from the distant void.
Wu Yue immediately realized that Void Heaven had encountered a formidable opponent and had no time to attend to her.
If not now, when would she escape?
But before leaving...
Her gaze turned toward Zhang Ruochen. In an instant, dense talisman patterns surged from her pupils.
These talisman patterns were like chains, capable of imprisoning a cultivator's divine qi and spiritual power.
"Boom!"
Zhang Ruochen's reaction speed was incredibly fast. In an instant, he released six divine swords, breaking through the talisman patterns and rapidly fleeing into the distance.
Facing a powerhouse like Wu Yue, there was no room for any thought of resistance.
"You cannot escape!"
Wu Yue's voice rang out as she pointed her finger. Talisman patterns surged forth again, even more numerous, each like a golden lightning bolt, forming nine layers of giant waves.
The Nether King's gaze turned cold and deep. He activated his sword gall, and his sword momentum erupted violently.
"Whoosh!"
He drew the Eternal Star Divine Sword and slashed out a brilliant sword qi ribbon, chopping toward Wu Yue.
He wanted to hold Wu Yue back, buying time for Zhang Ruochen to escape.
Wu Yue waved her sleeve, forming a sea of flames. All the sword power reversed and surged back. The Nether King, like a withered leaf, flew backward while burning.
Time was urgent. Wu Yue did not bother to seize the Eternal Star Divine Sword or pay him any more attention. Her spiritual power locked firmly onto Zhang Ruochen.
Capturing Zhang Ruochen and quickly fleeing was the top priority.
"Six Swords Combined, Shocking Divine Formation!"
Zhang Ruochen controlled the six divine swords, not slashing at the talisman patterns flying all over the sky, but instead using all his strength to shatter the space frozen by the talisman patterns.
His figure sank, entering the Void World.
Then, Zhang Ruochen directly burned his lifespan and divine blood, fleeing at a speed comparable to a Grand Void realm great god.
This was a life-saving moment. Only by using secret arts could such speed be unleashed.
Each time he did this, it consumed a massive amount of lifespan and divine blood.
That was precisely why, in this void, killing a great god who desperately wanted to escape was extremely difficult, even if the attacker's cultivation was one or two major realms higher.
"Ruochen, my dear grandson, why not come back?"
Wu Yue's voice rang out, carrying infinite demonic power capable of piercing a god's divine soul and affecting their spiritual will.
Zhang Ruochen was clearly fleeing with all his might, but he found his speed growing slower and slower, as if he were standing still. Behind him, a soft, lingering force swept over and enveloped him, like a gauze garment, like flowing air, like a woman's hair.
"Whoosh!"
Buddhist light erupted.
Buddha Emperor Sanskrit characters surged from his body, breaking through Wu Yue's illusion technique.
Zhang Ruochen looked back and saw Wu Yue already right before him.
She extended a slender, snow-white jade hand, expanding to a hundred zhang in size, reaching out to grab him.
"Do you think capturing me is that easy?"
Zhang Ruochen's gaze was sharp and intimidating. He clasped his hands together, and seven soul swords flew out from his body, clashing head-on with the hundred-zhang white jade light hand.
At the same time, countless sword rains flew out from his sleeve.
"Bang! Bang!"
Hundreds of millions of swords shattered completely, turning into iron powder that burned like fireworks in the Void World, extremely brilliant.
Wu Yue walked out from the flames but found that Zhang Ruochen had already fled far away again. She snorted coldly, "So many tricks, as slippery as a loach!"
Zhang Ruochen activated Truth Rule, increasing his speed a bit more.
But the blood qi in his body was heavily consumed, and his skin turned grayish-white.
In just this short moment, he had already consumed a thousand years of lifespan.
"So fast, I simply cannot escape."
Sensing Wu Yue catching up, Zhang Ruochen's face darkened. He took out the Qingping Sword, steadied his figure, mobilized divine qi into the sword body, turned around, and prepared to slash out.
Although Wu Yue was a master of illusion path, it was unlikely that he could strike her true body with one sword.
But having been pushed to this point, how could he care about that?
The Qingping Sword erupted with a mountain-toppling, sea-overturning sword dao fluctuation, blowing open the black hood on Wu Yue, who was flying in from behind, revealing a peerlessly beautiful celestial face.
Zhang Ruochen's gaze fixed, and he was directly stunned.
It wasn't that he was stunned by Wu Yue's beauty—after all, Chi Yao, Ji Fanxin, Bai Qinger, Luo Sha... which of them didn't have a nation-toppling appearance?
No matter how beautiful a woman was, she couldn't make Zhang Ruochen lose focus at such a critical moment.
"Moon God? No, this must be an illusion!"
After a moment of distraction, Zhang Ruochen immediately steadied his mind and slashed out with the Qingping Sword.
Unfortunately, that moment of distraction was enough. The Qingping Sword was seized by Wu Yue, and he himself was suppressed into a cage of three hundred million talisman patterns, unable to move at all.
"Having just reached the great god level, yet you managed to escape from Grandmother's hands several times. Not bad skills!"
Wu Yue's bright eyes looked at the Qingping Sword in her hand.
Within the Azure Lotus Diagram Seal, sword qi crisscrossed, containing majestic power. If Zhang Ruochen had actually slashed out with that sword, it would have been a dangerous matter.
"Void Heaven actually gave you a sword. That old fellow really does things in a disorderly manner."
Zhang Ruochen stared unblinkingly at Wu Yue.
Her long hair was parted on both sides of her face, hanging down to her knees. Her skin was jade-white and lustrous, her eyelashes long and curled, her nose delicate—she looked exactly like the Moon God. But her eyes were filled with evil aura, and her temperament was cold and dark.
It was more like the Blood Moon Ghost King from back then than the Moon God.
Because the gap in spiritual power was too great, Zhang Ruochen wasn't sure if he had fallen into her illusion technique.
But there was no need for that. With Wu Yue's cultivation, she could completely crush him. There was no need to deliberately transform into the Moon God's appearance.
"Since you still have some use, I won't kill you for now. Let's go!"
Just as Wu Yue was about to take Zhang Ruochen into her palm, her expression changed slightly as she looked into the depths of the void. A multicolored spiritual power storm arrived in an instant, crashing onto both her and Zhang Ruochen.
Wu Yue was indeed formidable. She immediately erected a spiritual power field, and a dark moon manifested.
The three hundred billion talisman patterns imprisoning Zhang Ruochen collapsed instantly under the impact of the spiritual power storm. Zhang Ruochen immediately released the Taiji Two Forms Diagram Seal, covering an area of eighteen zhang.
Zhang Ruochen was enveloped within the dark moon, where the pressure was much lighter. Seeing Wu Yue struggling with all her might against the spiritual power storm, he flickered and arrived before her.
"Do you want to die? Once my spiritual power field is broken through, under the spiritual power storm, everyone's divine soul will shatter, and we'll die without a burial place!"
Wu Yue knew what Zhang Ruochen intended to do and warned him coldly.
Zhang Ruochen paid no heed. Once she weathered this wave, he would inevitably become her captive, with life and death under her control. He might even be refined into a puppet like the Clear Sky Sword King.
"I have the Buddha Relic to protect me. I'm not afraid of the spiritual power storm!"
Zhang Ruochen's body radiated golden light ten thousand zhang high. Buddha Emperor Sanskrit characters swirled around him. He snatched back the Qingping Sword and struck Wu Yue's chest with a palm.
"Bang!"
Contrary to Zhang Ruochen's expectations, even though Wu Yue was struggling with all her might against the spiritual power storm, when his palm pressed down, a soft, yielding rebound force still erupted.
Accompanying this force was powerful spiritual power.
Zhang Ruochen's divine soul suffered a spiritual power impact. A roar sounded in his mind, his vision went black, and he nearly fainted.
Before he could heal his divine soul, his body flew out of the dark moon and fell into the spiritual power storm.
This was the residual force from the clash of spiritual power between Tai Shang and Void Heaven. How could Zhang Ruochen's current cultivation withstand it? In an instant, his divine soul shattered, his spiritual power thoughts atomized, and his consciousness dissipated.
Not only him, but Wu Yue, who had been struck by his palm, was also not faring well. Blood spilled from her mouth, her dark moon field shattered, and she lost consciousness in the spiritual power storm.
Under the impact of the spiritual power storm, Zhang Ruochen and Wu Yue were like small boats in the waves, flying toward unknown locations in the Void World.
In their unconscious state, without the protection of divine qi and spiritual power fields, their divine bodies were continuously eroded by the void. Even though Zhang Ruochen had the Buddha Relic to protect him, and even though the black robe on Wu Yue was no ordinary item, how long could they hold out against the void?
...
The Void World was eternally silent, empty of everything.
No one knew how much time had passed. Under the call of the six divine swords' sword spirits, Zhang Ruochen's consciousness gradually awakened, as if he had climbed up from the depths of an abyss.
Although he was floating in the void, his body was extremely heavy, and he couldn't even open his eyes.
His head ached as if it were filled with lead and mercury.
"He's awake! Finally awake! Big Brother, he's not dead; he's woken up!" the Sixth Divine Sword's voice came from within the Xuan Tai.
"As expected of someone with the Buddha Relic protecting him. To suffer such a powerful spiritual power storm and still have his consciousness revived!" the Fourth Divine Sword said.
The Big Brother Sword scolded, "What do you know? Zhang Ruochen has vaguely transcended beyond heaven and earth. Even if his divine soul shatters, as long as the fragments remain in his body and haven't dissipated, he will definitely awaken."
Zhang Ruochen's consciousness gradually recovered, and he understood his current situation.
But his consciousness was still very weak, unable to drive his body.
"Why am I still in the Void World? Why didn't you split space and take me back to the real world?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
The Big Brother Sword said, "You sealed us in the Xuan Tai. We simply can't get out."
"That's right. We don't want to be devoured by the void either," the Sixth Divine Sword said.
Zhang Ruochen tried to stay calm and asked, "How long have I been drifting in the void, and in what direction?"
He had to determine the direction and time, otherwise, even if he returned to the real world, the consequences would be very serious.
Argumentative voices came: "After being hit by the spiritual power storm, you lost consciousness and were swept away, drifting in the void all along. Probably about a year!"
"Nonsense! I think it's been three to five years!"
"How could it be that long? I think it's only three to five months."
"Ten years. Definitely ten years. No one understands time better than me."
...
That long?
Zhang Ruochen couldn't stabilize his emotions. "Direction? Who remembers the direction?"
Argumentative voices came again: "Who knows? This is the Void World. There's no time, no direction."
"Who says there's no time? Time is in my heart. Ten years. We've definitely been drifting for ten years." the Second Divine Sword said with absolute certainty.
Zhang Ruochen's mood was extremely terrible. Forget ten years—even if he had only drifted in the void for three to five months, how far away was he now?
He hoped his luck was good enough that he had already left the Dark Great Triangle Star Domain.
Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Zhang Ruochen stopped paying attention to the six divine swords. With his weak consciousness, he first tried to communicate with Mo Yin but received no response. Clearly, she had also been heavily injured by the spiritual power storm.
Next, Zhang Ruochen tried to mobilize divine qi to open the Xuan Tai and release the six divine swords.
He failed again.
