Above Lingyin Island, Jun Changxiao and Liu Sinan were engaged in an intense battle. Spatial power ran rampant around them, bringing destruction that was destined not to heal in a short time.
Strictly speaking, this wasn’t a battle to the death, but rather somewhere between a friendly spar, so while the scene was explosive, it didn’t look particularly brutal.
“Whoosh!”
The two entered another brief ceasefire.
Jun Changxiao said, “It’s been a long time since I’ve fought this satisfyingly.”
Whenever he used the Difficult to Retrieve Blade in the past, it was always for frenzied mowing down of enemies, but today he could actually fight a warrior on equal footing—the process was simply too exhilarating.
“Me too,” Liu Sinan said.
Having wandered the world for so many years, the opponents he encountered were all vicious and wicked types. He would usually choose to end battles quickly, but this time he could truly let loose and fight freely, even hoping it could last a bit longer.
Because of their mentality, the battle wasn’t brutal. The two were more like old friends mutually verifying each other’s martial dao.
“What a pity.”
Liu Sinan shook his head and said, “You and I must ultimately determine a victor.”
“Buzz!”
“Buzz!”
He spread both hands, and spatial power surged wildly. From a distance, it looked like a lotus flower enveloping him within.
“Going all out now?”
Jun Changxiao held his scythe horizontally before him, his expression gradually becoming solemn.
“Sect Master Jun.”
Liu Sinan waved his hands casually and said, “This technique of mine is called Heaven-Shattering Cloud-Scattering Lotus. It gathers the surrounding space to form the strongest offensive.”
“Buzz!”
“Buzz!”
With each movement of his palms, layers of spatial power twisted and stacked nearby, and the lotus-like form became increasingly distinct.
Space was being stirred, causing the seawater below to boil violently.
“Crack crack crack!”
“Crack crack crack!”
The ground on Lingyin Island cracked at an accelerating rate, gradually forming crisscrossing deep ravines, as if it would disintegrate at any moment.
In truth, the entire island was reinforced by an ancient formation that had existed for ages. It absolutely shouldn’t be affected by a Seeking Truth Realm warrior using spatial power, but the problem was that Jun Changxiao had broken it, leaving it in a perpetually stopped state.
A functioning formation is effective, but one in a constantly shut-down state is equivalent to having lost its defenses. Forget a Seeking Truth Realm warrior—even a Core Formation Realm warrior could cause fatal damage.
The current situation was that the entire island’s formation system had completely failed as space and earth collapsed, also affecting the two-way teleportation array.
The Demon Ancestor in the Demonic Delusion Domain didn’t know this. When he activated the formation while it had completely collapsed, he was directly blown away by the explosion.
The formation he had set up was of no low level. It was very difficult to destroy, but similarly, once destroyed or experiencing formation explosion, the destructive power was also extremely severe, so he instantly fell unconscious.
Fortunately, his physical body was decent.
If it had been an ordinary body, it would have already turned to nothingness.
This wasn’t the main point. The main point was that with the two-way teleportation array shattered, his way out was gone. The Demon Ancestor would be trapped in the Demonic Delusion Domain, and to get out, he could only pray that the seals set up by the Ten Great Immortal Sects and various clans would weaken over time.
Looking back over a hundred thousand years, the seal remained solid. Without deliberate sabotage, the possibility of it weakening was almost zero.
He had originally entered the Demonic Delusion Domain with the mentality of commanding a million-strong army, but not only did he suffer a heavy blow, in the end he was also trapped inside unable to get out.
Great Demon Lord.
You’ve got it tough.
……
What have the Ten Great Immortal Sects been doing recently?
Mobilizing maximum forces, searching everywhere for the Moon Burial Pavilion and the Demon Ancestor’s hiding place.
Now they could announce in advance that the crisis was resolved, because most members of the Moon Burial Pavilion had been destroyed, and even the resurrected Demon Ancestor was trapped at home unable to come out.
Jun Changxiao and Liu Sinan, the instigators of this situation, completely didn’t realize that while they were fighting each other to a standstill on the island, they would muddle-headedly trap an extremely dangerous villain in the Demonic Delusion Domain.
Some people do good deeds without leaving their names; these two did good deeds without even knowing it.
“Crack crack crack!”
“Crack crack crack!”
Liu Sinan continued charging up his ultimate move, and space continued folding frantically.
At this moment, if a warrior of insufficient cultivation entered, they would definitely be torn to shreds by the chaotic currents.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Shortly after, Lingyin Island couldn’t withstand the spatial compression and instantly fell apart, transforming into chunks scattered across the sea surface.
The base left behind a hundred thousand years ago was completely reduced to nothing today.
“Converge!”
Liu Sinan brought his hands together.
“Buzz! Buzz!”
The folded space seemed to instantly contract together, converging before him into a brilliant lotus flower the size of a palm.
Heaven-Shattering Cloud-Scattering Lotus.
One of Liu Sinan’s ultimate killing moves.
The principle of this martial technique was to continuously compress space—the wider the coverage area, the more essence it gathered.
“……”
Jun Changxiao’s brows furrowed tightly.
Just from that brilliant degree, this small lotus flower definitely contained explosive energy!
“Sect Master Jun.”
Liu Sinan said proudly, “Although I’m only at mid-level Seeking Truth Realm, I have extremely high mastery over the Spatial Spirit, so my strength is absolutely not inferior to upper-level Seeking Truth Realm. Therefore, you must treat this move seriously.”
“Understood.”
Jun Changxiao held the Death Scythe horizontally before him.
“Whoosh!”
Fire Soul power and Evil power instantly permeated the entire blade body. Half his body was enveloped in flames, half enveloped in darkness.
Using two types of spirit bodies while in the Difficult to Retrieve Blade’s fourth form—this was being very serious indeed.
But it wasn’t over yet!
Within the flames and darkness enveloping him, the skin exposed also gradually turned to stone.
Liu Sinan knew Jun Changxiao possessed two types of spirit bodies, so their release didn’t surprise him, but when he saw the skin turning stone-like, he exclaimed in shock, “You’re a descendant of the Stone Statue Clan?”
“That’s right.”
Gou Sheng said shamelessly.
The Stone Statue Clan bloodline was something he’d muddled through inheriting in the Demonic Origin Land. If others insisted on thinking this way, he wouldn’t deny it—after all, it counted as having status.
Declaration!
I’m not scamming anyone!
Liu Sinan gradually understood and said, “No wonder you have such strong killing intent—turns out you’re a Stone Statue Clan descendant like that guy.”
That guy?
Jun Changxiao asked, “Who is Big Brother Liu talking about?”
When he was in the Lower Realm, he had learned about the Stone Statue Clan from Black and White Rakshasa, but since ascending to the Upper Realm, he had never encountered any members of this clan, which was one of the three great clans.
“A guy who acts according to his own will, recklessly and arbitrarily,” Liu Sinan shook his head and said, “Better not to mention him.”
“……”
Jun Changxiao was speechless.
Keeping him hanging like this—what’s the difference from a chapter-cutting dog?
Of course, from the other party’s words, Gou Sheng analyzed that the two should know each other, and might even be friends, because the tone was full of complaint rather than the anger between enemies.
“Sect Master Jun.”
Liu Sinan pulled back his stray thoughts and said, “Time’s about right. Let’s determine the victor.”
“Alright!”
Jun Changxiao stopped thinking about other matters. Fire Spirit power and Evil Spirit power crazily poured into the Difficult to Retrieve Blade, causing it to instantly gather both crimson red and dark black colors.
“Whoosh whoosh!”
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
A wild wind arose, as if crying.
If they kept fighting like this, space couldn’t take it!
Liu Sinan spread his hands, and the brilliant lotus flower immediately flew forward. The sky that had gradually darkened was instantly illuminated like broad daylight.
“Break!”
Jun Changxiao gripped the Death Scythe with both hands. In midair, he took a step forward, and with the triple enhancement of weapon, bloodline, and dual spirits, he directly tore open a world-shocking blade beam!
“Whoosh whoosh!”
The blade light swept across the sea surface, directly cleaving the water.
“Boom——”
From a distant perspective, it was like a nuclear explosion in midair, with a spectacular giant energy sphere rising up. Half was dazzling pure white, half was crimson-black, locked in brutal opposition.
“Glug glug glug!”
Energy and scorching heat continued erupting, causing the seawater to boil violently and dry up.
The chunks of Lingyin Island land floating around couldn’t escape their demonic clutches and gradually evaporated into nothingness.
An island had shattered—perhaps there was still a possibility of restoration. But now that nothing remained, it meant the Demon Ancestor’s base had not only been ruthlessly destroyed but in the end was also ground to dust and scattered to ashes by these two.
