Chaotic energy filled the air as the glowing immortal runes swirled around the two from Yinyang Valley, endless immortal energy gathering within their bodies.
“Union of Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang, Dao Destruction!”
As the two let out a low cry, the Dao Discussion Platform was enveloped in chaotic energy, reflecting the colors of a galaxy. This was the most primitive world, the most primordial Dao technique.
Countless stars fell, and countless worlds collapsed as a scene of reincarnation played out within the chaos. Then, the immortal runes transformed into a sharp blade, carrying several stars as it swept down to suppress and kill.
Urgh!
Long Zitian was suppressed. His body bent, his golden dragon scales dimmed, and his illusory dragon form gradually faded away as his powerful aura slowly returned to normal.
Looking up, the immortal blade was already close. The pressure radiating from the several stars was enough to suppress any low-realm cultivator.
“A mere rabble dares to try and slay a true dragon?! How dare you?!”
Long Zitian was furious. He was clearly backed into a corner.
He had never expected that an obscure ancient genius could wound him and slice through the golden dragon scales he took so much pride in.
This was something that had never happened in his past life.
A dragon roar shook the heavens. Long Zitian wanted to transform into a dragon once more, but the sword wound on his chest throbbed with pain, wantonly destroying the magic power he tried to gather.
“How can this be? Could it be that in this life, I can only go this far?!”
Long Zitian stared at his hands in shock. Which step had he gotten wrong? He had clearly counterattacked based on his original memories, so why was he experiencing defeat?
Cause and effect?!
Because of my rebirth, the world has changed?!
Wang Xuanyi was no longer his fellow disciple, and he had never been persecuted. Instead, he had been treating everyone as an enemy.
Is this a punishment?
Long Zitian's mind raced, but he could not reach a proper conclusion.
“Junior Brother!”
Just then, a cold voice pulled him back to reality. Leng Ning'an broke through the encirclement of several people and arrived at Long Zitian's side, her body covered in wounds.
Leng Ning'an gently caressed the panicked Long Zitian. Her tone was no longer cold, but soft as she said, “Junior Brother, your Senior Sister is not as strong as you, but I can accompany you in death.”
At the same time, Gongyi Lingren and Wenren Jing were besieged by dozens of ancient geniuses. They could only watch helplessly as Long Zitian was about to perish.
Those who could set foot on the Dao Discussion Platform were all ancient freaks, and all of them possessed immortal inheritances. How could the two of them possibly contend with them?
Outside the realm.
Shen Shi and the others were furious, veins bulging on their foreheads, their auras fluctuating violently. Glaring fiercely at the forces of Yinyang Valley and their allies, Shen Shi gritted his teeth and said, “Damn that Lyu Wu! I will tear him into pieces!”
Xiao Hongye's face was cold. The sword in her hand hummed softly, as if it wanted to leap from its sheath.
It had been so many years since the Heavenly Martial Immortal Sect had finally produced such a promising talent, yet heaven and earth had to treat him like this.
On the other side, Yinyang Valley and the other forces looked on with glee, eager to watch the drama unfold.
It was not a good thing for the other forces that the Heavenly Martial Immortal Sect had produced such a monster. It would make the geniuses of this generation unable to hold their heads up, which was detrimental to their future cultivation.
But if... he died,
the problem would no longer be a problem, but merely a topic of future conversation.
Furthermore, a traitor had appeared within the Heavenly Martial Immortal Sect itself this time, which had absolutely nothing to do with them. Even if the sect wanted to hold someone accountable, they were not afraid.
On the Dao Discussion Platform, Leng Ning'an held Long Zitian, quietly waiting for death to arrive. However, the scene she imagined did not happen.
Time stopped at this very moment.
A being clad in white, whose appearance could not be clearly seen, stepped into this place. It froze everything in the realm and came before Long Zitian.
“Latecomer, your talent is very strong. It would be a pity for you to fall here.” An ethereal voice rang out, sounding neither male nor female.
As the voice fell,
true immortal runes emerged, and magic power transformed into the power of laws. Dense immortal mist completely enveloped Leng Ning'an and Long Zitian, sending them out of the Ancient Immortal Realm.
“This Immortal deems you the victor and shall grant you a piece of fortune.”
The white-clad being made a casual grasping motion, causing the void to twist and shatter. Two strands of complete rules of the Great Dao appeared in its hand, which were then infused into the bodies of the two.
“Little fellow, I hope you do not disappoint this Immortal.”
With that, the white-clad being clapped its hands together, and its figure dissipated. Frozen time began to flow again, and the immortal sword that was originally hanging above Long Zitian's head crashed down!
Boom!
Magic power surged, and stars fell. With a sharp crack, a fissure actually appeared on the Dao Discussion Platform, which was made of an unknown material, and began to spread.
“Did it succeed?”
“I can't sense his aura!”
“Was he reduced to ashes?”
Once the dense immortal mist dispersed, there was no trace of Long Zitian and Leng Ning'an on the ground. Even their previous auras had vanished completely.
“What's going on?”
“Someone interfered with the outcome. It is highly likely an ancient immortal!”
The Yinyang Valley Holy Daughter's icy eyes flickered. When the immortal runes fell, she had sensed a certain existence—indescribable and ineffable.
Like some sort of taboo, it did not belong to this world.
“What?!”
Such an outcome was hard to accept. They thought they could completely eliminate a genius who suppressed their entire era, but they hadn't expected him to escape.
Meanwhile,
outside the realm.
Leng Ning'an and Long Zitian appeared outside the Ancient Immortal Realm with dazed expressions. Looking at the hundreds of sect experts, their eyes were filled with bewilderment.
“Disciples.”
Xiao Hongye stepped forward to shield Long Zitian and Leng Ning'an.
“Master?”
“I will explain to you later. Come with me and rest first.”
“Yes.”
The two followed behind Xiao Hongye, completely clueless about the current situation. They only remembered what had happened right before that attack fell.
Truth be told, the attack from the Twin Stars of Yinyang Valley was indeed formidable. If someone hadn't intervened to change the outcome, even a Golden Core Realm cultivator would likely have perished if they tried to take it head-on.
Chaotic energy, falling stars, and immortal runes.
No matter which move it was, it was a top-tier spell, difficult for ordinary people to deal with.
When the two passed by the Sect Master, the Sect Master and the others had cold expressions. They did not give them any good looks, seemingly harboring some resentment.
Fortunately, with Xiao Hongye by their side, the Sect Master and the others did not say anything. A few elders even offered some words of compliment.
Xiao Hongye gave each of them a pill and smiled faintly. “Zitian, Ning'an, you two have worked hard.”
Though they were still dazed, they respectfully bowed and said, “It was only our duty, Master.”
Xiao Hongye looked at their tightly clasped hands and nodded silently. She had no objection to her disciples becoming Dao companions.
“You two have been exhausted for several months. Go and rest first. The Ancient Immortal Realm is about to close, and you are the victors of this trial,” Xiao Hongye said.
“Yes, Master.”
The two spoke respectfully, then found an open area to sit cross-legged and recover.
As soon as Leng Ning'an sat down, the scene from the Ancient Immortal Realm flashed through her mind, and a touch of girlish bashfulness immediately appeared on her cold face.
Long Zitian's lips curled upward.
No matter the process, the outcome was still good, and Leng Ning'an's heart had been stirred once more. As for the future, things would be much simpler.
