Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 1663: Chapter 894: The Variable

In the skies above the Divine Continent, a divine light blossomed between Zhao San Yue’s brows, and three identical versions of her stepped out.

All three avatars were expressionless, and as soon as they appeared, they teleported away into the void.

Guided by the main body, the three avatars began to precisely locate the hidden Divine Beast Envoy, the rebellious Demon Emperor, and the fleeing Demon Path Giant.

Countless Zhao Clan Members saw the great ancestor finally appear, and couldn’t help but cry tears of joy, while their morale soared, and they all took action to quell the chaos.

An hour later, the tide of rebellion was abruptly interrupted, and the order of the Divine Continent was initially restored. The majority of the rebellious clan members were personally killed by the three ancestors, and the rebellion seemed on the verge of being quelled.

Suddenly, the clear sky over the Divine Continent turned dark abruptly, as if day had turned to night in an instant. The night was pitch black, and one couldn’t see their hand in front of them.

No, it was darker than darkness; not only were the Five Senses and Seven Consciousnesses shielded by the encroaching darkness, but even Divine Thought and Will Heart Light were swallowed by it, almost making it impossible to sense the outside world.

Zhao San Yue’s face changed drastically as a thought flashed through her mind: “Not good!… Candle Dragon!”

Before the thought had even finished, a nearly uncontrollable sense of impending mortal danger surged over her heart.

In the nick of time, Zhao San Yue suddenly extended her right hand, and a crystal-clear, jade-like seven-inch small knife instantly fell into her grasp.

Boom——

At the same moment, a massive dragon tail, as black as scale armor and thick as a mountain, suddenly descended from the sky, heavily striking toward Zhao San Yue’s head.

Wherever the dragon tail passed, anything in its way was shattered. Not only was a large swath of the void broken, but even the Pocket World Domain covering a thousand miles around was swept away and broken, finally crashing into Zhao San Yue with unimaginable force.

Crack, crack, crack!

Zhao San Yue was struck by lightning, her body slammed into the Dark Sky, and countless eerie black lights crawled across her head. Her head was a bloody mess, and most of her body was gone, leaving only a collapsed half of her head and shattered shoulder and neck, looking utterly horrific.

With just one blow, Zhao San Yue’s Golden Body was shattered, and her Pocket World Domain was torn apart.

Before a Tribulation Crossing Realm Venerable, even a Great Ability at the peak of the Integration Realm was so “pathetically vulnerable.”

“Under the Tribulation Crossing, all beings are ants.” How could this admonition be false?

One must know that a Tribulation Crossing Realm Venerable can attack directly from Near Heaven, and how could anyone below the Tribulation Crossing Realm sense an attack from Near Heaven?

In other words, this is the legendary “dimensional reduction strike”!

After a successful strike, a massive shadow slowly emerged from the depths of the boundless darkness. The shadow seemed both present and absent but emitted a grand and majestic, sole-supreme terrifying pressure to the outside world.

The Candle Dragon was quite surprised; in its sensing, not only was the Human Clan female cultivator not dead, but her momentum was growing stronger, like a burning red blaze, becoming more and more dazzling in the darkness.

At this moment, within the Dark Sky, a crystal-clear jade knife was suspended above Zhao San Yue’s head, the body of the knife emitting a gentle clear light, enveloping her shattered Golden Body.

Under the envelope of clear light, a miracle occurred! This shattered body instantaneously returned to its original state, the entire process like time reversing.

Upon “seeing” this miraculous scene, the Candle Dragon was both shocked and joyous, and it immediately opened its bloody mouth wide.

Within the Dark Sky, a colossal “pitch-black giant mouth” capable of swallowing the heavens and devouring the sun appeared out of nowhere above Zhao San Yue’s head, swallowing down toward her with unimaginable speed.

However, in the next instant, Zhao San Yue, along with her knife, vanished abruptly, leaving the giant mouth to swallow nothingness.

Simultaneously, an indescribable, formless blade light slashed down onto the Candle Dragon.

The blade light was not only incomparably sharp but also astoundingly fast.

Despite the Candle Dragon being a formidable Tribulation Crossing Realm Venerable, it didn’t have time to react and was split in half by the blade light from the crown of its head, instantly bisecting its massive shadowy dragon body.

After the blade light vanished, Zhao San Yue suddenly appeared where the blade light had just flashed, her face pale as she “looked” down at the two violently surging shadow masses below.

Even though the Candle Dragon had been cleaved in two, the boundless darkness enveloping the Divine Continent still had not dissipated.

Killing intent surged in Zhao San Yue’s heart, and she raised the seven-inch jade knife again, slashing out another formless blade light at the shadowy dragon body that had begun to merge back together.

This jade knife, also known as the Time Blade, is a trump card hidden by the Ten Lands Zhao Clan, a Heavenly Spirit Treasure containing the Law of Time and is exceptionally rare.

Sixty thousand years ago, Zhao Xuanjing was invited into No Return Heaven, and this knife was found inside an ancient ruin there.

After learning of Old Ghost Wanxing’s impending attack, Zhao Xuanjing, as a precaution, entrusted the Time Blade to Zhao San Yue, not expecting it would indeed play a great role.

With the Time Blade in play, time approached a standstill, even an Immortal appearing couldn’t avoid this strike, let alone a Tribulation Crossing Realm Candle Dragon.

After the second slash, the Candle Dragon was shattered into “pieces,” temporarily unable to reassemble its consciousness and beast body.

Upon seeing this scene, the now emaciated Zhao San Yue suddenly released her grip on the knife.

The Time Blade shot out like a bolt of lightning, instantly transforming into a large, chubby white jade silkworm.

The jade silkworm vanished in a flash, abruptly landing atop Zhao San Yue’s head, and it just lay there motionless.

The jade silkworm emitted a faint clear light, and suddenly the Five Senses and Seven Consciousnesses of Zhao San Yue began to “flow” with misty brilliance, which was then devoured mouthful by mouthful by the jade silkworm.

The next moment, strands of white unexpectedly appeared amidst Zhao San Yue’s pitch-black, glossy hair, visible to the naked eye.

Although the Time Blade is immensely powerful, wielding it comes at a significant cost.

By slashing twice, Zhao San Yue had her own Life Span reduced by two hundred thousand years out of thin air.
