"Well, let’s see what tricks you’ve got!"
Intrigued, the Spiritual Body, holding a battle knife, swung it in mid-air, and a radiant blade aura appeared, as if it could split the vast world in half.
But then, sothing odd happened!
When this terrifying blade aura struck the Exquisite Chessboard, there wasn’t a world-ending explosion as expected; instead, it hung frozen in mid-air.
"Power of Space-Ti, Reversing Heaven and Earth!" Gui Guzi’s face was grim. Confronting an enemy far superior to himself, he needed to give his full effort. One slight mistake, and he could et his end here.
The area of the Exquisite Chessboard expanded rapidly; its crisscrossing lines covered the sky and enveloped a region thousands of miles wide.
Suddenly, within this area, ti stopped flowing in the Void! The wind stood still! The sound of battle vanished! The blade aura cast by the Spiritual Body also paused in the Void!
In the next mont, heaven and earth reversed. The Void shattered continuously, and when it was entirely broken, a mysterious power reford it into a new heaven and earth. In this new heaven and earth, Gui Guzi was the master!
"Turn!" Standing in the center of the chessboard, Gui Guzi focused his mind, and space-ti shifted. The blade aura that could destroy the Heavenly Universe, much to the Spiritual Body’s astonishnt, turned back to strike it.
"It can do that?" The Spiritual Body was stunned; its own attack had turned back on itself. This was the first ti it had ever attacked since its birth, yet it encountered such a ridiculous situation!
Staring at the incoming blade aura, sensing its universe-destroying presence, the Spiritual Body’s face turned bitter. It instantly circulated Spiritual Energy to defend itself but found that within the Exquisite Chessboard, the passage of ti slowed, and it couldn’t fully utilize its Spiritual Energy.
"Damn it!" The Spiritual Body cursed under its breath, looking sowhat anxious.
It knew very well the terrifying power of its own blade aura; it wasn’t sothing the Soul Emperor’s current physical body could withstand! If struck, the Spiritual Body itself would be unhard, but the Soul Emperor’s body stood a high chance of perishing and being sent to the Yellow Spring.
I was rash! The Spiritual Body gritted its teeth and quietly summoned the Origin Power of the Great Dao, even though doing so would expose its position. But it couldn’t allow the Soul Emperor to die. The Eternal Temple’s grand voyage could not afford to lose the Soul Emperor’s leadership!
A brilliant light blossod, and a pure white Origin Power of the Great Dao erged around the Spiritual Body, covered in mysterious runes. Ordinary people would beco dizzy rely by glancing at it.
"BREAK!!" The Spiritual Body roared and struck with its knife. Empowered by the Origin Power of the Great Dao, its attack was as majestic as the heavens, as supre as the Dao itself, transcending everything, reigning over all creation.
Wherever the knife light passed, the laws of space-ti shattered! The blade’s intent howled, and the chessboard’s intricate structure collapsed in its wake! In only two breaths’ ti, the Exquisite Chessboard, spanning thousands of miles, shattered with a loud BANG.
Gui Guzi’s face turned pale. He staggered, his internal qi and blood roiling; he almost vomited a mouthful of fresh blood. His two arms, once shining with divine light, now bore two deep knife wounds.
"Next ti, I will kill you!" Upon freeing itself from the Exquisite Chessboard, the Spiritual Body glanced coldly at Gui Guzi and quickly flew towards the Heaven Beyond Heaven.
Gui Guzi, standing in the Void, watched the departing Spiritual Body, a hint of confusion on his face. Why didn’t it continue attacking?
「anwhile, in the Heaven Beyond Heaven」
Deep within the vast Mustard Seed World, apart from the towering Immortality Mountain, there was also an ancient and quaint small town.
Countless Immortality Mountain clansn looked up at the battlefield, their faces full of anger. Holding sharp weapons, their ferocious auras circulated, ready to join the fray at any mont.
Among them was a unique figure: the outsider, Dongfang Zhantian!
He stood in a courtyard, witnessing the battle beyond the Mustard Seed World’s celestial do, a trace of worry on his face. He had a hunch that the Eternal Temple’s invasion of Immortality Mountain this ti might be for him! The re thought sent chills down Dongfang Zhantian’s spine.
BANG!
The Heaven Beyond Heaven trembled! The azure sky was torn open, and a terrifying blade aura swept across the firmant, causing the faces of the Immortality Mountain clansn to turn pale. The pressure was truly terrifying!
In the next mont, everyone saw a white palm print effortlessly pierce through the world’s celestial curtain, reaching for Dongfang Zhantian in the small town. Under its vast, compelling power, the Void was sealed, making movent impossible.
"No..." Dongfang Zhantian, directly beneath the palm print, had a look of terror on his face. After letting out a cry of despair, he was effortlessly grabbed by the palm print and dragged out of Immortality Mountain.
"That troubleso thing is back again!" After seizing Dongfang Zhantian, the Spiritual Body breathed a sigh of relief. It glanced towards the eastern Void with clear disgust and ordered sternly, "Retreat!"
No sooner had it uttered these words than it tore the Void apart and disappeared without a trace.
The experts from the Eternal Temple engaged in the fierce battle were all puzzled. However, they dared not defy the ’Soul Emperor’s’ command. One after another, they ended their battles and flew towards the Middle Region. So entered the main headquarters, while others flew into branch headquarters.
In the blink of an eye, the fiercely contested battlefield had cleared, leaving only the experts of Immortality Mountain staring at each other in stunned silence. Everyone looked utterly bewildered.
An inexplicable invasion! An equally unexplained retreat! What was the aning of this great battle?
"Not good!" Below the world’s celestial do, Jade Zun, who had just escaped his predicant, his expression changed slightly. His vigorous divine soul poured into the small town within the Heaven Beyond Heaven, carefully searching. A mont later, his face turned completely grim.
"Has Dongfang Zhantian been kidnapped?" Gui Guzi asked in a low voice.
Jade Zun didn’t speak, rely nodding.
It seems the Eternal Temple’s conspiracy will soon surface! A glint flashed in Gui Guzi’s profound eyes. Various speculations ford in his mind. He bowed to Jade Zun and then flew towards the East Border.
"Sigh! A truly troubled ti!" Jade Zun sighed, watching Gui Guzi’s disappearing figure. With a heavy heart, he began to repair the damaged Heaven Beyond Heaven. As for rescuing Dongfang Zhantian, it wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but he simply lacked the ability.
"Humph! Fled quite quickly!" In a dark corner of space, a mysterious figure bathed in rosy light observed the empty battlefield, lingered for a mont, and then departed reluctantly.
Apart from the Spiritual Body controlling the Soul Emperor’s body during the fight, no one had discovered its existence. Even Jade Zun and Gui Guzi had not noticed.
「Saint’s Court of the Nine Heavens」
"My Kylin child!"
In the magnificent golden palace of the Saint’s Court of the Nine Heavens, Dongfang Huang, the reigning emperor, sat slumped on his throne, his eyes vacant. His vitality and spirit seed to have diminished greatly, making him appear much older.
In his hand, he held a shattered Soul Jade Tablet! And the owner of this Soul Jade Tablet was none other than Dongfang Zhantian!
"Ancestor, avenge him!"
"My son cannot die in vain! We must have revenge!" Dongfang Huang whipped his head around, shouting hoarsely at the old man beside him. His eyes were bloodshot, revealing a chilling killing intent.
When an Emperor raged, heaven and earth trembled! The originally clear skies over the Saint’s Court of the Nine Heavens were suddenly filled with swirling clouds, and a torrential rain began to fall. The Sea of Fortune churned, and the Fortune Golden Dragon roared. The furious dragon’s cry resounded across heaven and earth, echoing through the firmant, lingering for a long, long ti.
"Revenge? How can we take revenge? Do you know where the Eternal Temple is located? Can you defeat the Soul Emperor? Can you kill dozens of Martial Artists of the Origin Great Emperor Realm?"
This old man was Dongfang Wendao, who said with a bitter expression, "Dongfang Zhantian is gone. Are you planning to drag the Saint’s Court of the Nine Heavens into an endless abyss?"
The relentless questioning brought imnse agony to Dongfang Huang, who was filled with self-reproach. His most valued son was dead. As a father, he knew the enemy was the Eternal Temple, yet he had no power to take revenge!
Zhantian, your father has failed you!
As the Emperor of the Saint’s Court of the Nine Heavens, I must consider the greater good and cannot lead the Saint’s Court to ruin!
But rest assured, I will never forget to avenge you. One day, I will destroy the Eternal Temple! I swear it...
Dongfang Huang leaned weakly against the throne, his eyes slightly closed, making a silent vow in his heart.
Two lines of bloody tears stread uncontrollably from his eyes, tracing paths down his face before landing on his bright imperial robe, forming several stark, crimson blossoms.
