Zhanxue chimed across the wilderness, while Dog Slaughterer roared through the nine heavens.
With dual swords in hand, Zhang Mingyuan unleashed the mighty power of his Half-Step Immortal realm without reservation.
He did not choose to clash head-on, instead pushing his five thousand years of combat experience to its absolute limit.
Moving like a specter, he dodged and shifted within a hair's breadth, his divine light trailing a series of afterimages.
One moment he slashed at the vital points of the mirror Zhang Mingyuan, and the next he blocked the Frost Law of the mirror Su Jinxue.
He actually managed to single-handedly hold back the offensive of two genuine Red Dust Immortals, pinning them down temporarily.
“Hurry up! I can't hold on much longer!”
Zhang Mingyuan roared, his arms turning slightly numb from the sheer force of the impact.
Behind him, Su Jinxue had already closed her eyes.
Standing barefoot on the scorched earth, her red gown fluttered without any wind, and her long black hair danced wildly.
Endless laws of extreme cold and frost surged from her body. It was no longer just simple freezing; every single snowflake was now engraved with profound Samsara runes.
“Extreme Cold Annihilation—Frozen Heaven and Earth!”
Following her cold chant, time itself within the entire space seemed to freeze.
Heavy snow began to fall from the dark red sky as a terrifying aura of annihilation enveloped the wilderness, aiming directly at the two mirrors opposite them.
This was her ultimate killer move, created by merging her Great Dao of extreme cold and frost with the Law of Annihilation after she attained the Red Dust Immortal realm.
It was powerful enough to return an entire world to dead silence.
However, just as this world-destroying killer move was about to take form, a cold, mocking sneer curled on the lips of the mirror Su Jinxue.
She made no move to defend. Instead, she reached out a slender, jade-like hand and gently clenched it in Su Jinxue's direction.
“Your Dao is my Dao. This technique belongs to me now.”
As her voice fell, an even more majestic and pure power of the Red Dust Immortal laws swept out.
The killer move Su Jinxue had worked so hard to condense instantly spiraled out of control.
The snow filling the sky seemed to find its true master. It reversed direction and funneled entirely into the palm of the mirror Su Jinxue,
turning into a grey snowball that contained a terrifying power of annihilation.
“What?!” Zhang Mingyuan's soul nearly leaped out of his body.
He didn't even have time to think. Instantly abandoning his suppression of the mirrors,
he frantically circulated the power of the laws within his body and teleported in front of Su Jinxue in a flash.
Spreading his arms wide, he bellowed, “Myriad Laws Barrier!”
Layer after layer of colorful light shields, constructed from various law powers, stacked up in front of him, instantly forming tens of thousands of layers.
But right at that moment, a slightly cool hand pressed down on his shoulder.
“Do not panic.”
Su Jinxue's voice was calm and steady.
She looked up. Instead of panic on her breathtaking face, there was a faint, knowing smile of a successful scheme.
The grey snowball that had been seized by the mirror Su Jinxue did not come hurtling toward them.
Instead, it began to tremble unstably in her palm, and strands of annihilation energy actually started to seep backward,
unraveling the mirror Su Jinxue's immortal laws, invading her body, and pointing straight at her immortal source!
“Pfft!”
The mirror Su Jinxue's face changed drastically. She spat out a mouthful of blood containing immortal laws, her aura instantly plunging.
She stared in disbelief at her palm, which was being corroded by the power of annihilation, her eyes filled with rage and confusion.
Zhang Mingyuan watched dumbfounded. It took him a long moment to snap out of it, turning back to praise her loudly:
“Holy crap, that was awesome, Little Xuexue!”
“You hid a trap in that move? Where on earth did you learn such a dirty trick?”
Su Jinxue raised her crimson eyes and looked at him silently. She didn't say a word, yet her gaze said everything.
Zhang Mingyuan's face flushed. He mumbled, “Cough... I'm not that underhanded...”
“You court death!”
Having been outsmarted, the mirror Su Jinxue was completely enraged.
Beside her, the mirror Zhang Mingyuan also looked as grim as water. The two exchanged a glance and raised their swords at the same time.
Green divine light and extreme cold frost instantly merged. Two fully perfected Red Dust Immortal law powers combined flawlessly, transforming into a terrifying sword glow that pierced through heaven and earth.
“Yuanxue—God and Demon Annihilation!”
The power of this single strike far surpassed any of their previous attacks!
Even space was torn apart by it, and the entire domain of the Twin Tribulation trembled violently, as if it would collapse at any moment.
Facing this fatal strike, both Zhang Mingyuan's and Su Jinxue's expressions turned grave to the extreme.
“We can't dodge it!” Zhang Mingyuan grit his teeth, shielding Su Jinxue tightly behind him.
But at that moment, Su Jinxue took his hand, locking their fingers together.
“If we die, we die together.”
Just as the world-destroying sword glow was about to consume them—
The invisible "Heavenly Marriage" laws between them, the bond that pierced through their very souls, was completely triggered at the brink of life and death!
Golden ancient runes emerged from their clasped hands, instantly spreading across their entire bodies.
Under the resonance of the Heavenly Marriage laws, Zhang Mingyuan and Su Jinxue's source powers did not merely stack; they underwent a miraculous qualitative change.
Their Half-Step Immortal realm cultivations, which had been forcibly equalized, actually broke through their shackles for a brief moment,
reaching a mysterious realm that surpassed even the Red Dust Immortal!
Zhang Mingyuan gasped in surprise, then roared.
“Now is the time!”
The two swung their swords simultaneously.
Zhanxue and Xiyue merged into one!
A blue frost-flame sword qi, laced with golden divine script, soared into the sky, fearlessly meeting the oncoming "God and Demon Annihilation."
There was no earth-shattering explosion. The moment the two forces collided,
the mirrors' combined sword technique dissolved like melting snow, instantly unraveled and swallowed by the sword qi that carried the power of the Heavenly Marriage Great Dao.
The blue frost-flame sword qi swept forward with undiminished momentum, piercing directly through the bodies of the two mirrors opposite them.
The shock on the faces of the mirror Zhang Mingyuan and the mirror Su Jinxue froze.
Their bodies cracked inch by inch, finally turning into countless spots of light and dispersing into the air.
Thud!
With the crisis averted, that mysterious power receded in an instant.
Zhang Mingyuan and Su Jinxue simultaneously lost all strength, collapsing to the ground in intense pain.
Both were covered in wounds torn open by the sword qi, dripping with blood, without even the strength to stand.
“Ha...”
Zhang Mingyuan panted heavily, a grin spreading across his face.
“We won... Little Xuexue, the two of us... are really amazing...”
Su Jinxue leaned against him, her breath weak as well.
Hearing his words, she merely curled her lips slightly and said nothing.
They didn't even have time to tend to their injuries, intending to take a brief moment to catch their breath.
However, the colossal vertical eye in the sky erupted with blinding red light once again.
“Rumble—”
The entire scorched earth began to disintegrate, the ground beneath their feet turning into quicksand and plunging into the endless void.
Nine massive rifts tore open across the dark red sky.
Nine ancient bronze coffins, exuding a desolate, primordial, and deathly aura,
slowly descended from the rifts, hovering above their heads.
On each of the coffin lids, several shocking characters were engraved.
“Emperor Burial Coffin!”
