Chapter 4125: The Abyssal Divine Sword Has Been Found
The people on Emotion Mountain found their vision darkening, the vast mist suddenly turning into pitch-black night.
Their five senses became sluggish.
Cultivators possess keen perception, transcending nature, their thoughts spanning a thousand realms, their eyes seeing across the three worlds of heaven. It was difficult for them to adapt to the environment under the "Silent Night," like a roc falling from the peak of the clouds, sinking into a muddy swamp.
No one knew what would happen in the next moment.
Time was burning, consuming all light, origin, and rules, affecting not just the five senses.
Time was accelerating.
However, the higher one's cultivation, the less they were affected.
Beneath the purple gauze hat, the Soul Mother's grave expression relaxed slightly.
"Whoosh!"
Shang Tian discerned the nature of the "Silent Night," his pupils dilating like two blazing suns. His arms rotated and trembled, his body crackling as he unleashed the "Great Dao Heavenly Desolation Seal" from the Eight Techniques of Heavenly Desolation.
Behind him, the clouds and mists burned like flames, faintly illuminating the Silent Night.
Within the clouds, three Dharma forms, as tall as mountains, struck out with their palms alongside Shang Tian's true body. Each palm was a hundred zhang long, woven from rules and order, capable of shifting star seas with a single move.
At the same time.
Standing directly in front of the Soul Mother, Fan Chen's body resonated with the sounds of ten thousand Buddhas chanting, once again executing the "Ten Thousand Buddhas Illuminate the Universe."
He transformed into ten thousand Buddhas, each with a different form.
In the previous exchange, even the Soul Mother's protective divine light had been broken, putting her at a slight disadvantage. She knew that the monk Fan Chen was no ordinary opponent.
She chose not to clash head-on with Shang Tian and Fan Chen. Instead, she employed an infinitely subtle movement technique, breaking through the rule locks of the two, grabbing Bore's arm, and shifting upward.
"Senior Brother is incredible! Even a Half-Ancestor was forced to flee!" Tan Tuo Di Zang laughed.
But in reality, Fan Chen's control over his own power was crude, making it difficult for him to skillfully redirect the flow of his divine abilities. The power of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Illuminate the Universe shot straight forward, and after losing track of the Soul Mother, it struck Shang Tian, who was approaching from the front.
Fortunately, Shang Tian was a seasoned veteran of the battlefield, with extraordinary mastery of the Way of Space.
The moment the Soul Mother moved, he moved as well, soaring upward alongside her.
"Boom, rumble!"
The power of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Illuminate the Universe surged out from above the stone mill by the cliff, blasting into the rolling black curtain.
San Ying Tian, trapped by the Nether Luo Heavenly Net, quickly hid beneath the stone mill, looking extremely disheveled, with none of the demeanor of a Heavenly Venerable-level powerhouse. He turned to look at the night curtain, finding that all the Buddha light had vanished, having no substantial effect on the "Silent Night" or Gandharva's "Ancestor Order Field."
"Gandharva is truly unfathomable, worthy of being someone who can meet the Nether Ancestor in person," San Ying Tian thought to himself.
The Soul Mother leaped across the formation veins above Emotion Mountain, glancing down at the blazing clouds below.
The Great Dao Heavenly Desolation Seal broke through the clouds, surging forward with fierce momentum. "What a Shang Tian! With only Heavenly Venerable-level cultivation, he dares to pursue me."
The Soul Mother waved her hand downward in a sweeping motion.
"Boom!"
The Great Dao Heavenly Desolation Seal collapsed and scattered.
Shang Tian, who had pursued her to mid-air, was struck down, falling back to Emotion Mountain.
The Soul Mother glanced at Bore beside her. Having to protect her made her even more constrained.
Bore was of great use to her; she had to be offered to the Nether Ancestor.
"Chi chi!"
From the space behind her, a vast amount of divine Qi and rule divine patterns surged forth, like a chaotic, misty cloud.
Within the cloud of rules, a corner of her Divine Realm World appeared. Just as she was about to send Bore inside—
"Swish!"
An arrow, swift as flowing light, shot straight into her Divine Realm World.
Looking closely, it wasn't an arrow at all—it was the Human Head Banner.
"What audacity!"
The Soul Mother's right arm shot out, producing dozens of hand shadows, all grabbing at the Human Head Banner.
Suddenly, she sensed Shang Tian's burly figure appearing silently behind her. His speed was so fast that even she, a Half-Ancestor, felt a slight shock.
Compared to the strangely behaving Saint Si Daoist and the monk Fan Chen, the Soul Mother was more wary of Shang Tian.
Shang Tian, who cultivated the "Three Corpses Refining the Dao," could definitely be considered one of the top three combatants below the Half-Ancestor level in the current universe.
She could not underestimate him.
The Soul Mother's hand, which had been reaching for the Human Head Banner, immediately changed into a finger sword, striking behind her.
Shang Tian used the "Heavenly Desolate Flowing Light Finger," famous throughout the world for its speed. His fingers shimmered with flowing light.
The speed of his fingers even drove the speed of his body.
"Bang!"
The two fingers clashed, sending ripples of space spreading outward in rings.
The Soul Mother and Shang Tian were locked in place in the void, competing with divine Qi and rules.
The Soul Mother, unable to go all out, was at a disadvantage when hastily receiving Shang Tian's full-powered divine ability.
Shang Tian noticed this and said, "You have been hiding your aura, afraid to go all out. It seems you have an unspeakable secret. Today, I will tear off your purple gauze and see who you really are!"
"Hmph!"
The Soul Mother's voice, imbued with a soul attack, entered Shang Tian's ears, shattering his eardrums and shaking his divine soul.
Shang Tian stood firm as a pine, enduring the Half-Ancestor's soul attack to buy time for Ci Hang Zun Zhe.
Behind the Soul Mother, the moment the Human Head Banner flew into her Divine Realm World, two tiny, grain-sized figures flew down from it, one to the left and one to the right.
The grain-sized figures returned to normal human size.
The one flying to the left was Ci Hang Zun Zhe. She grabbed Bore and turned into a streak of flowing shadow light, rushing out of the Divine Realm World.
The one flying to the right was Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen had been waiting for the Soul Mother to voluntarily open her Divine Realm World. Otherwise, forcibly breaking into a Half-Ancestor's Divine Realm World was no easy feat!
He landed in the Soul Mother's Divine Realm World, grabbed the Human Head Banner, and mobilized all his strength, slamming it heavily into the ground.
"Boom!"
The vast earth of the Divine Realm World cracked with countless fissures.
The cracks spread for hundreds of thousands of miles.
"Courting death!"
From the sky of the Divine Realm World came the Soul Mother's divine thought.
In the air.
Strands of invisible soul mist, like tough gauze nets, came layer by layer.
Hundreds of soul chains shot up from the ground, thick as buckets, moving like swimming dragons.
Nether flames transformed into a vast army of divine beast forms, charging from all directions, their hooves shaking the heavens, their roars shaking the earth.
There were also curses, soul attacks, and spiritual techniques—a myriad of methods evolved within the Divine Realm World, engulfing Zhang Ruochen.
The Soul Mother was telling him that her Divine Realm World was her forbidden zone, and anyone who entered would die.
"Boom!"
Zhang Ruochen let all these attacks land on him, relying on his powerful physique to withstand them. He let out a long roar, and with the Human Head Banner—
The earth collapsed for thousands of miles.
"Whoosh!"
A glaring beam of light shot up from underground.
Wu Shi, the Divine Martial Envoy of the Divine Realm, stood within the beam, his four arms each forming a divine ability technique.
He glanced at Zhang Ruochen and said, "Thank you, Daoist, for helping me escape. I will repay this favor in the future."
On the Tianlong, Wu Shi had been tracking Tan Tuo Di Zang and Bao Yin Di Zang when he accidentally encountered the Soul Mother and was suppressed by her.
Wu Shi was a Heavenly Venerable-level cultivator, second only to a few direct disciples of the Eternal True Ruler.
All along, the Soul Mother had been—
Releasing a Heavenly Venerable-level powerhouse was enough to tip the scales of victory once again.
Wu Shi used a secret technique of the Divine Realm, burning his divine blood, and quickly refined the Half-Ancestor order that had sealed him.
"Nether Envoy, you can no longer trap me!"
"Boom!"
"Boom, rumble!"
Wu Shi fired off four divine abilities in succession, striking the invisible boundary wall of the now-sealed Divine Realm World.
Outside the Divine Realm World, the Soul Mother was overwhelmed by the combined attacks of Fan Chen and Shang Tian.
Huang Tian stepped on a winding river of divine Qi, manifesting a giant divine body. Carrying an axe, his gaze swept briefly over Shang Tian before he unleashed a strike with the force of splitting heaven and earth, aimed at the Soul Mother.
In the current situation, all grudges had to be set aside.
He was not a man to be blinded by hatred!
With a thought from the Soul Mother, a moon-like circular shield imprint appeared in front of the stone axe, neutralizing Huang Tian's attack.
"Just you?" the Soul Mother said.
She was quite familiar with Huang Tian, knowing he was one of Lady Shiji's people. She had thought highly of him, seeing him as a sharp blade with great potential for cultivation.
But now...
He had to be cut down.
The Half-Ancestor's divine might and spiritual will pressed down endlessly.
Sensing that Wu Shi had broken free from her Divine Realm World, the Soul Mother could no longer remain calm. Even if she used all her trump cards, she would likely suffer a crushing defeat today.
Back then, the Nine-Headed Stone Man, who had one foot through the Ancestor threshold, had been surrounded and killed.
Indestructible Infinite cultivators were all Heavenly Venerable-level figures. Their matter was indestructible, their souls indestructible.
"Even if you are Huang Tian, the Half-Ancestor's divine might and spiritual will cannot shake my battle intent. You can kill me, but you cannot scare me away."
Huang Tian roared, following closely behind Fan Chen as he attacked again.
"Rip!"
The Soul Mother's palm blade cut Fan Chen's Buddhist body in half at the waist, blood splattering across the sky.
She had no time to suppress Fan Chen's remaining body before Shang Tian's strongest divine ability, "Heavenly Desolate and Earthly Old," struck her.
The Soul Mother let out a muffled groan, a trace of blood appearing at the corner of her mouth.
To severely wound Fan Chen, she had to endure Shang Tian's blow.
Unfortunately, the monk Fan Chen seemed unkillable. His two severed halves quickly recombined, and his aura not only did not decline but grew stronger!
"What kind of monster is he? Like Saint Si Daoist, trained by the Divine Realm?"
The Soul Mother sent her Half-Ancestor divine sound outside Emotion Mountain: "Azure Deer Divine King, Decayed Stone God, Sick Lion Camel, why haven't you made your move?"
It wasn't entirely the fault of the Eight Divisions Followers army, because the flow of time inside and outside Emotion Mountain was completely different.
Gandharva's use of the "Silent Night" to burn time was not just to deal with—
Because time was being burned, a year inside Emotion Mountain now passed in just one day outside.
In other words, the Soul Mother had already exchanged dozens of rounds with the group of experts, but outside, only an instant had passed.
Gandharva's purpose in doing this was, of course, to suppress them as quickly as possible—
"Leave this place to you!"
Azure Deer Divine King's figure flickered, disappearing from before the Asura army.
Entering Emotion Mountain and seeing the besieged Soul Mother, Azure Deer Divine King squinted slightly, as if trying to see through her true form.
There weren't many women this powerful!
Seeing the Soul Mother's gaze fall on him, Azure Deer Divine King said, "A bunch of juniors, nothing to fear. Suppress them—"
"Bang!"
Azure Deer Divine King shifted to the right, crashing into Gandharva and—
San Ying Tian sat cross-legged beneath the stone mill, Nether flames surging from his body as he refined the Nether Luo Heavenly Net, trying to regain control of this divine artifact and break free as soon as possible.
"What are you doing?"
Tan Tuo Di Zang found him, poking a bald head down from above the stone mill.
San Ying Tian's eyes turned cold, and he struck upward with his palm.
Tan Tuo Di Zang slapped down with his palm, driving San Ying Tian a section lower, sinking his body into the earth.
San Ying Tian spat blood, his arm broken and unable to lift it.
His cultivation power was still sealed, and he could use at most one-tenth of his full strength.
The darkness outside the mountain suddenly brightened.
The majestic Eight Divisions Followers army appeared one after another, standing at the edge of the "Silent Night" power environment.
Several Infinite Realm figures in front of the Asura army manipulated the formation, gathering the power of all the soldiers, and fired the Spear of Slaughter suspended in the formation.
Buddhist soldiers.
In Di Huang, aside from Tan Tuo Di Zang, he crushed all enemies.
Of course, it was because Di Zang Wang simply didn't involve himself in the conflicts of the Di Huang universe.
"Puff! Puff! Puff!"
The Spear of Slaughter clashed with the Di Zang Seal, and the runes of the Buddhist soldier form were constantly being worn away.
But Bao Yin Di Zang had blocked this round of attack!
Seeing the Di Zang Seal growing larger in the sky, a fragment of memory returned to Tan Tuo Di Zang. He recalled something and slapped his forehead: "That—"
He raised his hands upward in a supporting gesture, and the space trembled violently.
"Boom!"
A brownish-yellow metal great world inexplicably appeared above Tan Tuo Di Zang's head, extending outward in an instant, overturning countless ghost soldiers who had just entered the edge of the "Silent Night."
It was a true metal great world, heavier than a hundred thousand stars combined, its volume suppressed by the Ancestor Order Field, otherwise its diameter would have reached tens of millions of miles.
This was the work of an Indestructible Infinite cultivator!
Tan Tuo Di Zang was an absolute ruthless figure, collecting materials from the cosmic borderlands to forge metal great worlds.
Many stars from the Heavenly Court Universe and the Hell Realm Universe had been stolen by him.
"Oh!"
Tan Tuo Di Zang seemed to have discovered a new continent and quickly propped up—
A series of thirty-six metal great worlds were "taken out" by him, filling the Ancestor Order Field, pressing the space until it twisted, forcing the Eight Divisions Followers army to change their formation.
It wasn't until Decayed Stone God and Sick Lion Camel led the Stone Army and the Kinnara Army to the foot of Emotion Mountain.
"—
Outside, chaos reigned.
Zhang Ruochen resisted all kinds of destructive forces all the way, arriving at the heart of the Soul Mother's Divine Realm World.
The pitch-black Abyssal Divine Sword was thrust into the peak of a towering divine mountain.
Just as Wu Shi broke through the boundary wall of the Divine Realm World, Zhang Ruochen grabbed the Abyssal Divine Sword and flew out with him.
"The Abyssal Sword has been found, inside her Divine Realm World."
Zhang Ruochen pretended—
Wu Shi naturally knew that the Daoist had just gone to the heart of the Divine Realm World, and he felt a pang of regret in his heart.
This was the Abyssal Divine Sword!
No, the Abyssal Divine Sword...
Didn't that mean Zhang Ruochen's death was related to this Nether Envoy?
When Huang Tian saw the Abyssal Divine Sword in Saint Si Daoist's hand, it was as if a bolt of lightning had struck his body. His eyes instantly filled with boundless killing intent, his pupils bleeding.
"Today, I will pay the price of an Eon of lifespan to break through to the Heavenly Venerable realm. Nether Envoy, who exactly are you?"
Huang Tian let out an explosive roar, his entire body igniting. The speed of his divine Qi circulation instantly increased by more than ten times, and he was no longer suppressed by the Silent Night.
Outside the Emotion Mountain Inn, the sealed Bore saw the Abyssal Divine Sword and immediately understood everything. An endless hatred for the Soul Mother and for Ji Xi was born in her heart, tears streaming down her face like rain.
She wanted to self-destruct her divine source, to die together with the Soul Mother.
Unfortunately, at this moment, she couldn't even speak.
