Divine Brilliance

Within the Cloud World, Zong Shou was on the Heaven Reaching Platform, his brow furrowed as he looked down from the platform.

A sharp Cloud Flame Flying Knife swiftly flew across, directly piercing through the head of the Celestial Realm Expert wielding the green sword in the southeast!

Although this person died, the formation was still shaking under the fierce attacks of the five Celestial Realm Experts with many cracks appearing in it.

These cracks weren’t huge as they disappeared in a flash, recovering in just an instant.

However, it allowed many Cultivators to charge into the formation at this crucial moment.

He also didn’t expect that with the situation reaching such a level, with three Celestial Realms dying under his hand, that the remaining five people would still risk their lives.

They weren’t afraid of dying and they just wanted to breach to this Heaven Escaping Energy Circle Formation.

However, apart from this, there wasn’t any other good news.

Zong Shou could sense using his connection to the Heaven and Earth that the battle outside of the Cloud World had already come to an end.

A few Saint Realm Cultivator’s Spiritual Sense had already been retracted from the Cloud World. One of which had even disappeared from the spot!

The other God Realm Experts fled into the distance.

If it was as he expected, then his Master Dragon Shadow had already appeared and made his move.

The battle outside of the Cloud World had most probably came to an end.

The only thing he found weird was that the other Saint Realm experts were still there. Why did his Master let them live instead of killing them on the spot?

Was it Aokun?

He felt shocked but also worried.

Was Aokun really going to face those two alone and personally seek revenge? What was he trying to do?

He didn’t have any spare focus to think about it. He saw that the Nine Glory Light from the sky had landed once more.

Zong Shou temporarily placed aside these worries. Then, he looked beneath the platform, his heart sensing something.

The dozens of Cultivators who entered the formation still weren’t killed by the Blood Cloud Cavalry and the formation that Kong Rui controlled.

Three of them were charging right for the platform. Who knows what spell they used? They were only at the Late Spirit Realm, but their speed in the formation was much faster than that old man with a drill!

Qingming?

Zong Shou’s gaze locked onto the beautiful female in the middle.

He knew that she was the one currently in charge of Daoling Vast Habitat. Half a month ago, she used an iron fist to kill several fellow sect disciples to suppress the chaos that had just started to brew in Daoling Vast Habitat.

It was said that if not for her cultivation being a little lower, she was already seen by the elders of Daoling Vast Habitat as the next Palace Head.

Her identity was special too.

Who knew that she actually didn’t stay behind and instead headed over personally?

Suspicious!

Her position in the Taoist Faction was really important. However, she was taking the risk of dying to charge into this formation. What was she planning?

Without any hesitation, another Cloud Flame Flying Knife shot down swiftly from the platform.

Space, stack!

Time, accelerate?

Fate, lock on…

Zong Shou showed no intention of showing mercy, even if it was a Spirit Realm who he once injured. He went all out with this knife.

He used all his strength, injecting the late Soul Realm Sword Intent into the knife.

The Knife Shadow flashed, instantly crossing 100,000 feet.

It still exceeded the reaction limits of a normal person. In three-hundredths of a second, it was in front of her!

Her face was instantly ashen white like paper.

However, right as the knife was about to pierce right through her brow, another Spirit Realm flashed in front of her to block it.

When the Silver Knife Shadow struck Qingming, it was already greatly weakened.

It stopped three feet from her brow. One could see a pearl which appeared on her head, the Spiritual Glow fluctuations finally caused the knife to fall as it lost its power.

The remaining two knives still flew swiftly toward the Heaven Reaching Platform, their speed increasing.

Qingming took out a Purple Talisman and threw it in front of her.

“Chaotic Spirit Energy Destroying, break for me!”

5,000 feet around, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy instantly turned chaotic!

It caused those various runes and restriction, formed in the air by the formation, to mess up and disappear.

Zong Shou looked downward and his eyes couldn’t help but constrict.

As expected from the Taoist Faction which had 10,000 years of foundations. Even if he decimated the Spirit Realm Elites in the Cloud World, there would still be so many people willing to die for their faction.

However, from this he was sure that Qingming was definitely planning something!

Those nine balls of Nine Glory Light had already surged down and were right in front of him now. Zong Shou scoffed coldly, he couldn’t be bothered dealing with them. The sword in his hand slashed and a ball of white light was totally destroyed.

His sword flashed several more times and instantly broke three balls of light.

The pressure on him instantly relaxed. Then, he heard Kong Yao shout out, “Scram!”

A Silver Spear Shadow flew up and scattered down from the Heaven Reaching Platform. It was extremely sharp and nearly covered the entire sky.

In the end, all the spear blades gathered into one and stabbed right at Qingming.

Zong Yuan’s spear used lightning. Kong Yao’s used ice and fire, its strength was even a little higher than Zong Yuan’s.

It gathered the strength of the 600,000 strong army. This spear possessed immense power.

In the next moment, there was a loud crash!

A person fell from the sky, pierced by the strong spear attack and plummeting to the ground below. He was coughing out blood and obviously suffered severe injuries.

However, it wasn’t Qingming but another Spirit Realm Cultivator. At the last moment, he blocked in front of her to help her take that spear!

Kong Yao took three steps back on the platform, that face which was even more beautiful than a peach turned white and then it was filled with rage, spitting fire from within.

“Attacking when people are in trouble, don’t you think about succeeding!”

The Silver Spear pulled backward and then exploded out once more. This time it went from simple to complicated. Many Spear Shadows stabbed out and midway they all spread out. Many Sharp Spear Energies chiseled forward. It covered 10,000 feet in front of the platform.

Qingming was coincidentally covered by this storm like attack, controlling two swords as well as a fan-shaped High-Grade Magical Artifact to block.

Sword Energy and Spear Energy clashed, however, she was still unable to block. The surrounding body-protecting energy was being crushed layer by layer.

Even that silver fan treasure had dozens of holes pierced through it, in the blink of an eye.

The spear attack was extremely sharp, forcing Qingming to nearly fly back.

However, this woman also didn’t panic. She took out a golden talisman which exploded in mid-air. The Spiritual Energy surged within and turned into a sky full of stars which charged forward.

Each star had billions of kilograms of power. Pretty much each clash would cause Kong Yao to take a few steps back, her Spear Shadows becoming chaotic.

The Silver Spear in her hand nearly broke after many consecutive strikes.

In just a few strikes, she couldn’t take it anymore. Blood seeped out from the corner of her lips!

Hanxi and Little Gold had attacked long ago to help Kong Yao block. However, being hit by the specks of stars, they stumbled left and right, barely holding on and being able to protect Zong Shou’s body.

Energy Circle Star Cycle Technique?

Zong Shou’s brow rose up. This was Xiao Xiangzi’s secret technique but the stars formed from the talismans weren’t something that he could compare to.

If he was correct, then a Saint Realm Expert had sealed the secret technique he cast into the talisman.

This was why even if it suffered from the restrictions of the laws of the Cloud World, it still wasn’t something that Kong Yao could block.

After just the fifth strike, the spear in her hand was destroyed and her body was sent flying backward 1,000 feet.

The stars continued to land on her.

However, right at this moment, Zong Shou finally destroyed two balls of light.

He finally had some energy and the Sword Shadow flashed and charged out.

It turned into the shape of a Dragon and swept forward. Two breaths later, it swept all the stars away.

Zong Shou’s face also turned slightly ashen white.

Only by personally blocking these falling stars did he realize how much pressure Kong Yao was facing before.

To be able to block five before being forced back definitely required great determination to push through.

After the starry sky in front of her dissipated, Qingming was already standing on the platform, coldly laughing at him.

A white Sword Light shot out from the sheath, not bothering with Kong Yao and heading directly for him!

There were just 1,000 feet between them. It crossed the space, extremely nimble and swift.

Zong Shou’s eyes were filled with enlightenment.

So, it was the Time Technique.

Dragon Shadow and the few End Realm Experts of Common People’s Path were helping him uncover the secrets of Heaven.

How did Daoling Vast Habitat find out that he wasn’t left with much lifespan…

He laughed, temporarily not worrying about the Sword Light. He flipped with his right hand and took out two Purple Pills from his bag to swallow.

It was the Extreme Purple Pill. He smashed it with one bite. After swallowing it, it turned into a cool liquid which flowed down.

He then felt his Life Essence recover and replenish,

Just two of them extended his lifespan by 60 years!

He shook his head. To use this TIme Sword to claim his life was just a joke!

Qingming didn’t look dejected at all, instead, she scoffed coldly, her eyes filled with mocking intent.

Several talismans burned on the sword body. The grey-white Sword Light became much stronger, and the power of Time also became even more vast.

Zong Shou knew what she was planning and he couldn’t be bothered. He waved his hand and the Time Sword was restricted, retreating backward!

However, the Time Power was not stopped and charged into his body.

A portion of it was canceled out by the Cause and Effect and Space Powers he grasped.

But, some of it came into effect, weakening his Life Essence which had just been topped up.

In just an instant, half of it was gone. However, right as his lifespan was about to hit rock bottom, a mysterious energy spread over from Hanxi.
