Chapter 2970 - 2944: Crisis, Another Crisis!
Chapter 2970: Chapter 2944: Crisis, Another Crisis!
The violent sword wind seemed to suppress the heavens, annihilating the star river as it slashed directly towards Xia Ruoxue.
"Ye Chen, farewell forever."
A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Xia Ruoxue’s mouth; she could not block this sword, no matter what.
Death and disaster were inevitable.
Resentment!
Intense resentment!
Xia Ruoxue’s heart was tormented, her black hair fluttering as she gazed up at the sun and moon in the sky.
Is there an Upper Realm above the skies?
Could it be that the so-called Empress resides high in the Upper Realm, overlooking herself as if looking at ants?
She did not know; she only felt indignant.
She also wanted to defy destiny, to achieve mighty saber slash, and fight alongside Ye Chen in the Upper Realm, exploring the ultimate secrets of the Heavenly Dao, then dwelling together freely among All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, free from the shackles of all karma, eternally carefree.
But now, all her aspirations would become illusions.
"If I could survive, one day, I will ascend to the Upper Realm and destroy that so-called Empress!"
Xia Ruoxue made a mighty vow, closing her eyes and awaiting death.
This life’s vow could only be fulfilled in the next life.
"Sister Xue, be careful!"
At this moment, a crisp voice startled Xia Ruoxue.
Buzz!
An ancient and mysterious strange stone, engulfed in starlight, flew out from within her body.
It was the Reincarnation Star Stone!
Bang!
Xuanji’s great sword struck fiercely upon the Reincarnation Star Stone.
The entire stone was directly knocked away, dropping to the ground like defeated grass.
Amazingly, there wasn’t a single mark of damage on the stone.
This demonstrated how terrifying the material of the Reincarnation Star Stone was.
Even with Xuanji’s full strength, she could not cause any harm to the Reincarnation Star Stone.
"Reincarnation Star Stone? It even produced a Star Spirit!"
Xuanji’s pupils constricted.
The Reincarnation Star Stone was a divine artifact that even the Upper Realm went mad for.
And right now, it appeared on Xia Ruoxue’s body.
Moreover, this Reincarnation Star Stone was filled with concentrated spiritual energy and had even nurtured a Star Spirit, its quality far superior to ordinary Star Stones.
"Do not harm Sister Xue!"
The Reincarnation Star Stone wobbled and floated up, the tender voice of the Star Spirit echoed.
Though tender, it was filled with immense determination.
Even if it meant sacrificing herself, she would not want to see Xia Ruoxue die.
"Interesting, it even knows how to protect its master."
Xuanji chuckled, with a touch of admiration.
She was a loyal follower of the Empress Supreme.
If the Empress were in danger, she would also be willing to die to protect her master.
Therefore, seeing the Star Spirit protecting its master moved her a bit.
"Fine, I will grant your wish and send you both to the afterlife!"
Murderous intent glimmered in Xuanji’s eyes.
Appreciation was appreciation; she would not hesitate.
Xia Ruoxue, having offended the Empress Supreme, must be killed without mercy!
No person, no being, could stand in her way of executing her murderous intent.
Sss!
The sword wind was like thunder.
Xuanji once again swung her sword, aiming straight for Xia Ruoxue.
The Reincarnation Star Stone flew out bravely, protecting Xia Ruoxue.
"I’ll fight you to the death!"
The Star Spirit’s childish voice was filled with decisiveness, with not a hint of cowardice.
Boom, boom, boom!
Xuanji wielded her sword like lightning; though the great sword was large, she wielded it effortlessly.
Each furious slash brought with it the winds and thunder of the heavens.
Every sword strike landed on the Reincarnation Star Stone, producing tremendous sounds that shook heaven and earth, echoing endlessly.
The sound of sword and stone clashing alone was enough to shatter the floating clouds in the night sky.
The moonlight became even more dazzling, illuminating the earth.
The Reincarnation Star Stone, being an ancient divine artifact, was naturally beyond the ability of Xuanji to destroy.
However, under the crushing force of her sword’s power, the Star Spirit was bound to perish sooner or later.
After all, the Star Spirit was just a spiritual sense.
If she perished, the material of the Reincarnation Star Stone would remain unaffected.
Perhaps after millions of years, a new Star Spirit might be born from it.
But if she perished, she could never be resurrected.
"Sister Xue, run now, I’ll hold her off!"
The Star Spirit cried out anxiously, desperately resisting Xuanji’s sword slashes.
Xia Ruoxue’s delicate face turned pale, her body swaying slightly.
She knew the Star Spirit was fighting desperately to protect her; the best course of action was not to betray the Star Spirit’s sacrifice and to immediately flee.
Otherwise, both of them would meet their demise.
However, Xia Ruoxue was helpless; within her, the Reincarnation Star Flame was raging uncontrollably; she was exerting all her strength to suppress it, with no energy left to flee.
"Star Spirit, you go."
"Go back and tell Ye Chen to avenge me!"
"The one who killed me is the Upper Realm Empress!"
Xia Ruoxue gritted her teeth; she could no longer escape, only able to let the Star Spirit leave and inform Ye Chen.
"Hahaha, Xia Ruoxue, and you, little Star Spirit, no need for further words."
"Today, with me here, where do you think you can run? You’re destined to turn into dust!"
Xuanji sneered, her sword power suddenly becoming violent, as the great sword erupted with monstrous ferocity and slashed out fiercely.
Bang!
An incredibly massive sword strike smashed onto the Reincarnation Star Stone.
Rumble!
The entire Reincarnation Star Stone was directly driven underground, deeply embedded in the muddy abyss, silent.
"Star Spirit!"
Xia Ruoxue cried out, but received no response.
"Now, it’s your turn."
Xuanji licked her crimson lips, her pretty face filled with chilling killing intent.
She carried the great sword, stepping towards Xia Ruoxue, raising her hand and swinging the sword straight at Xia Ruoxue!
Xia Ruoxue was in imminent peril!
...
Meanwhile, in another place within the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Palace, the Endless Abyss!
The blood dragon coiled beneath the abyss, its eyes flickering with law runes, its body shrouded in crimson light, exuding a monstrous ferocity.
Above the abyss, the Yan Tian Dragon God and a dozen elders of the Heavenly Dao Palace felt the fierce aura of the blood dragon, causing everyone to tremble.
"This blood dragon, though its bloodline is somewhat peculiar, must die today! No more delays! It has been too long! The palace master is enraged!"
The Yan Tian Dragon God shook its body, transforming into an awe-inspiring man clad in a python robe.
This was his first time transforming into human form!
"Formation of the Heavenly Dao Punishment Array! Annihilate this beast!"
The Yan Tian Dragon God roared to the heavens, his voice rolling out like thunder, piercing the night sky.
"Yes, my lord!"
Twelve elders of the Heavenly Dao Palace swiftly positioned themselves above the abyss according to the Dou Tian Twelve Gods’ positions.
Their level of cultivation was extraordinarily powerful!
At this moment, as the twelve gods formed an array, their auras combined, instantly releasing overwhelming divine might.
Rumble!
A dazzling pillar of light shot straight into the sky.
The entire night sky seemed to be shattered, revealing the cosmic star river, and even a few planets fell like meteors and crashed madly onto the ground near the abyss.
At the bottom of the abyss, the blood dragon’s eyes changed color.
This Heavenly Dao Punishment Array was an ancient killing formation secretly passed down by the Heavenly Dao Palace, possessing terrifying destructive power capable of annihilating stars.
A radiant formation barrier floated above the abyss, the twelve elders solemnly guarding their respective positions.
The Yan Tian Dragon God then flew to the core of the formation.
"Wretched beast, where can you run now?"
The Yan Tian Dragon God’s eyes bore ferociously, waving his hand to invoke the formation barrier, releasing rolling Demon Dawn, and torrents of divine lightning, blizzards, wind blades, and raging fire poured down the abyss!
The blood dragon was also plunged into crisis!
This time, the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Palace was facing two great upheavals!
