Divine Brilliance

At this moment, Xuwen was standing 200,000 feet in the air.

His face was extremely dark, especially after looking at the Death Energy dissipate and at the corpse of the Demon Assassin Sect Spirit Realm Cultivator.

His eyes were filled with shock. To date, he didn’t understand how the Netherworld Princess could lose.

Her cold energy itself could compare to Low-Grade Celestial Weapons.

No matter how strong Zong Shou’s sword was, he shouldn’t have been able to slice it with one blow.

Also, this Demon Assassin Sect Shanghan had died. He was a Spirit Realm Expert who came out 100 years before him. When he attacked, he often killed with one strike.

However, at this moment, his corpse had no temperature as he laid below. His brow was broken and his soul was totally gone.

Looking at the situation, he was killed without being able to fight back. He was also killed with one sword!

If one deduced the timing when this Shanghan attacked, it would’ve been when Zong Shou was at his weakest.

Even if he didn’t succeed, he should have been able to retreat. However, at this moment, for some reason he had died.

Who knows what methods the Gantian Monster King had used?

Looking back through his memory, his thoughts stopped. At this time, it was right to consider retreating.

Zong Shou said that he would slay anyone from Daoling Vast Habitat who he saw!

He didn’t worry too much about those words, but at this time he had to fear them…

Knowing Zong Shou’s character, he wouldn’t hesitate to kill him.

Right as he was about to leave, Suchen mocked, “You want to leave? You aren’t meeting the Monster King? Is that how much of a righteous person you are? What are your thoughts on what you saw?”

Xuwen was startled. He looked over to see Bizhu frowning. Bizhu didn’t scold him and just smiled like he didn’t care at all.

“I heard that your Sword Sect took 30% of the stakes of this Gantian Mountain outer world conquest. It seems like your Sect and the Vast Habitat Heads want to be on the same side as the Monster King. Based on what I know, a portion of your people don’t agree. Does your Hanshan Sect really want to be enemies with the Taoists? If not, then it is best you be careful with your words!”

Following this, he turned around and looked toward Bai Ruo and spoke with deep meaning, “I heard that most of the Central Continent Confucians see Gantian Mountain as a demon outer path, Zong Shou as an immoral ruler. What does your Haoxuan Sect plan? What do you think? You are biased toward them because one of your direct disciples is close to him. I don’t think you are fit for your role. Let’s hope others don’t pull you down…”

Bai Ruo’s eyes were filled with rage, but then he calmed down. Bizhu also frowned and his eyes were cold.

Xuwen laughed out loud with joy. However, he didn’t dare to stay here for long and with a flash he was 100,000 feet away.

Just as he was 100 miles away and quickly about to leave this region, he felt a cold and dark gaze on his back. Along with it was an icy-cold killing intent.

Zong Shou?

Xuwen’s heart tensed up, but then he quickly calmed back down.

They were 100 miles away from one another. Even if Zong Shou attacked, there was nothing he could do to him.

This distance was far enough for him to leave safely.

He knew that Zong Shou had the Royal Demon God Shuttle whose speed was above High-Grade Magical Artifacts. Xuwen didn’t dare delay, only when he was 300 miles away did he relax.

He flew while thinking about what methods Zong Shou had used just now.

Just as he was perplexed by his many questions, the space in front of him broke open.

A silver light entered his field of sight.

Flying Knife? It finally came. It was said that Zong Shou had a Flying Knife Skill that could change directions and was extremely nimble and swift. It was even stronger than Sword Driving Techniques and never missed!

He laughed coldly and wanted to strike it down.

Although such a flying knife technique was amazing, as long as one was faster than it, one could break it.

He wanted to see if his sword was faster or whether this flying knife was faster?

However, when he slashed out, he was startled. He saw that the knife had increased in acceleration by ten times! It was still swiftly climbing and speeding up.

Right as he pulled his sword out of his sleeves, the knife had already pierced right between his brows.

An intent entered his mind as the knife entered.

“I will kill any Daoling Vast Habitat expert that I see!”

The voice was casual but not lacking firmness and one could recognize that it came from Zong Shou.

But, how was there such a fast knife in the world?

No, it wasn’t that the knife was quick but that the time in the area where the knife passed had suddenly accelerated!

Wasn’t this the Instant Space Dragon? Zong Shou seemed to have a deep attainment in this sword technique so it was possible for him to use it on the Flying Knife.

However, this time was just a little too quick. Even the natural ability of the Instant Space Dragon might not be so strong at the Spirit Realm…

How could this person have such deep attainments on the Path of Time?

There was also the power of Cause and Effect. He remembered that before Aokun was sealed, he became famous from his techniques.

No wonder that chill energy would be broken just now and that Netherworld Princess would be defeated in such a bad manner.

That was why Shanghan from Demon Assassin Sect was defeated in one strike.

But, how Long did Zong Shou cultivate for? How could he so easily grasp the Cause and Effect Path and Time Path?

Xuwen also found it weird that he could actually think about all this at such a time.

Time froze and many thoughts appeared in his mind.

Xuwen had only one thought which was to flee, to go all out to flee!

He had to return back to the Vast Habitat with the information that he found out.

To think that their Daoling Vast Habitat had prepared for a year and they didn’t even investigate clearly what kind of trump cards Zong Shou had…

This Flying Knife Technique which stacked space, time, cause and effect, apart from those few God Realm and Celestial Realm Experts at the Vast Habitat, no one else could stop it!

The moment such a thought rose up in his soul, the Flying Knife exploded.

It smashed his head along with his soul into pieces!

All of his thoughts totally disappeared along with it.

※※※※

Right at the same time, Zhao Yanran drove a light down and stood beside Zong Shou.

She looked toward Zong Shou’s ashen white face with a weird expression.

“Were you badly injured just now?”

The Netherworld Emperor struck, although his Realm wasn’t that high, if it was stabbed at her, her body and her soul would have most probably been totally obliterated.

Zong Shou shook his head to express that he was fine. Actually, at this moment, his injuries were in fact not much of a problem.

That was even despite the fact that this really strong person, even perhaps on the same level as Aokun, went all out to strike

However, as he was restricted by two worlds, only a small amount of strength could be transferred over. It might not have even been a thousandth of his strength.

In just a few breaths, his broken internal organs were already healed.

His injuries were light and the only reason why he was so weak was because he had used the Flying Knife to kill that person.

Although Renbo had retorted him and rejected his decision to wipe out the Taoist Sect, his sentence about killing them when he saw them was still valid.

This person was really bold. Knowing that he always kept to his word and he actually dared to appear in front of him…

Wasn’t he just asking to die?

Within his Soul Ocean, the Light Containing Pellet was spitting out threads of internal energy.

In just a moment, a blood-red color reappeared on Zong Shou’s face.

Actually, he didn’t consume much from that knife. Most of the True Qi he used was borrowed from the body of the Demon Assassin Sect cultivator.

Zong Shou casually reached out and kept the few Evil Destroying Heart Locking Nails into his sleeves. He also pulled the unconscious Gong Yue in front of him.

Just now when the giant spear smashed over, he wasn’t able to block and was also unable to protect Gong Yue.

At this moment, only after looking at him, did he heave a sigh of relief.

He still had a breath and had a bit of lifeforce. It wasn’t totally taken away by that Death Energy.

However, it was unavoidable that he would be weak for a period of time after he woke up.

But, it was a blessing and not a curse to be able to personally witness Spirit Realm, even Celestial Realm Experts fighting one another.

He shot a Soul Returning Technique into his body. Seeing his breathing calm down, Zong Shou tossed him toward the sky.

Suchen smiled and caught him. Zong Shou also bowed deeply toward the few people in the air as a form of thanks.

Following this, he continued toward the south, spreading out his Spiritual Sense to lock onto Gong Xinran’s aura.

Those three people had already fled and he shouldn’t have been able to find them.

Unfortunately, Gong Xinran was still able to break free from the last two nails.

There were still a few bits of her soul circling around it they were pinned by the nails.

He was able to sense it, so no matter where Gong Xinran escaped to, she wouldn’t be able to flee from him!

“Where are you going to go?”

Zhao Yanran hurried along as she spoke curiously, “Speaking of which, I pity Gong Xinran. She is really so beautiful. She was also your Senior Sister at Linhai College, you actually were able to attack her…”

Zong Shou didn’t reply at all. Zhao Yanran was used to it and was naturally unaffected, “I heard that she said you had a crush on her. Was she your first love? Was what she said true or false?”

Right as she said that, her body paused, only to see a giant mountain in front of her.

Demon Corpse Mountain?

Blood Mist spread all about and demonic energy surged. Zhao Yanran’s brow rose and she didn’t understand what was going on.

Zong Shou looked at the mountain and then laughed.

“Are you planning on appearing in the world today?”

Based on the history he knew, the palace under the Demon Corpse Mountain appeared in the world this year.

A few years later, that Alien Race Demon sealed within, would also break free.

However, after all, this was in the last life. The current Spiritual Wave would happen several years earlier.

The Death Witch appeared and the gates to the Netherworld opened. It seemed like the final locks had been broken.

Without looking closely, he could sense the Spiritual Energy rising up around him.

He grinned and pulled out his sword. The green Sword Light swept the wilderness like a rainbow in the day, but it was also like the horn of a goat; it was ethereal while also really firm and ferocious.

Clang!

100,000 feet of Sword Light flashed and disappeared in an instant. The moment the Sword Light entered the sheath, there was a loud crack in the Demon Corpse Mountain in front.

Following this, the entire mountain body started to collapse downward into the Blood Valley.

The sky full of Demonic Energy instantly retracted back into the remaining half of the mountain body.
