The ten Gates of Destiny were like ten blazing suns, shining for thousands of miles. Countless Precepts of Destiny were like invisible chains, imprisoning the Sevenstar Imperial Palace.
Space seemed to freeze, and time seemed to stop.
When the Fane of Destiny fought with the powerhouses of the ten dark forces, dozens of Gates of Destiny were suspended in the air. But Zhang Ruochen was thousands of miles away, so he didnât feel much and didnât know how terrifying it was.
!!
But now, at the center of the ten Gates of Destiny, he finally understood how terrifying the suppression was. It was extremely oppressive to the spirit, cultivation, will, and state of mind.
If one didnât have great spirit and great cultivation, they couldnât break through the suppression and would be defeated instantly.
Zhang Ruochen couldnât help but admire Xue Lingxian. Under such a powerful suppression, she could still take the lives of many powerhouses.
Not far away, Fei Zhongâs eyes were filled with fear.
It wasnât that he hadnât seen such a big scene before. On the Supreme Saint Battlefield of Merits, there had been scenes of the Celestial Court and Infernal Court where many top-notch Supreme Saints fought.
But he had never experienced a situation where he was surrounded and killed by more than a dozen Supreme Saints. This included the former Scion of the Fane of Destiny, the first Lord of Destiny, and the powerful top figure in the Death Palace.
If it were any other Supreme Saint, they would have no choice but to self-detonate their Sainthood Source.
Fei Zhong secretly looked at Bai Qingâer but saw that she was still calm. He guessed in his heart, âShe probably wants to use Zhang Ruochen and the Overseer of the Divination Division to threaten the powerhouses of the Fane of Destiny in exchange for a chance to escape. This is the only way!â
âCut the crap. Fight!â
Bai Qingâer was full of heroism. She didnât want to exchange hostages for life. Her bodyâs pure Light of Origin was brighter than the ten floating Gates of Destiny combined. It broke the Precepts of Destiny that covered the Sevenstar Imperial Palace.
âHow dare she⊠FightâŠâ
Fei Zhongâs eyes almost popped out. He couldnât believe it.
Swoosh
Bai Qingâer charged out of the Sevenstar Imperial Palace and entered Xing Luoâs Precept Domain. Wherever she passed, the stars would be destroyed, and the Precept Domain would be shattered.
Xing Luoâs expression was extremely solemn as it burst out faster than ten thousand times the speed of sound. The Supreme Power of the Ominous Blade instantly rose to its peak as it stabbed toward Bai Qingâer, who was flying over.
Bai Qingâer pressed out with her palm, and a scroll appeared in her palm.
The white words were all divine words. They floated in the void.
As the words rippled, an ancient voice sounded in the starry sky. It explained the truth of the mortal world, the joys, and the sorrows of the mortal world.
âThe Confucian Tome of Prayers. How did she master the Path of Confucianismâs techniques? Furthermore, itâs from Kunlun.â Zhang Ruochen frowned.
Boom
The Ominous Blade pierced through the sacred text. It cut through Bai Qingâerâs jade-white fingers, making a metallic sound.
Dense words appeared on her finger. They were as small as dust and slithered around like tadpoles. Even a Supreme Artifact could not break them.
Xing Luoâs eyes were filled with shock. He had never thought there would be a cultivator below the divinity who could fight against a Supreme Artifact with his bare hands. Furthermore, the Supreme Artifact was in his hands.
The two passed, and their Precept Domains collided, producing endless thunder and lightning sounds.
Xing Luo immediately realized that something was wrong and turned around to give chase.
However, Bai Qingâer had already stepped into the world of the continent under Zionwraithâs feet. She pointed out with her finger, and as if Buddha had enlightened all living things, Boundless Buddhist light appeared behind her, making her aura incomparably divine.
The spiral weapon in Zionwraithâs hand carried boundless divine power and accurately struck her fingertip.
BANG!
The fingertip struck the divine weapon, and energy ripples spread out.
Bai Qingâer retracted her finger and turned it into a palm print. A three-inch Golden Buddha with a smiling face appeared on her palm.
BANG!
The palm print struck down.
Bai Qingâer turned her palm into a fist again, and 108 phantoms of Golden Bodhisattvas appeared behind her. All the phantoms merged into the Fist Force, and 108 layers of tremor force erupted as she chanted the Buddhist mantra.
In a flash, she struck out three times in a row.
Boom
The world under Zionwraith collapsed and turned into pieces of floating islands. His body flew backward as if it had been hit hard.
The Power of Death on Zionwraithâs body has grown much lighter after being purged by the Buddhist light.
âBuddha Fingerstrike, Maitreya Palm, and the Divine Punch of Intervention. These are the ultimate arts of Buddhism!â Zhang Ruochenâs eyes darkened.
Xing Luo caught up with Bai Qingâer and mobilized the power of the Divine Ghost Mask.
A huge divine ghost figure rose behind him and exploded with an earth-shaking strike. The void was pressured and arched.
Bai Qingâer drew a circle with her right hand and developed a three-thousand-meter-wide Taiji Diagram, which dissolved the divine ghost figureâs attack. At the same time, she formed a lotus print with her left hand to block Lord Wu Yueâs Ax of Judgement.
The four figures fought faster and faster. In the end, they turned into thousands of afterimages. No one could see their moves and techniques clearly other than Supreme Saints.
Fei Zhong was flabbergasted by this battle.
The ten Supreme Saints of the Fane of Destiny held up ten Gates of Destiny and tried their best to suppress Bai Qingâer. However, even under such circumstances, Bai Qingâer still fought against three people by herself. She fought Xing Luo, Lord Wu Yue, and Zionwraith alone and was not at a disadvantage.
Gong Nanfeng quietly moved to Zhang Ruochenâs side with a strange look on his face.
Zhang Ruochen glanced at him with disdain and gestured for him to stay away from him.
Gong Nanfeng said telepathically, âBrother Ruochen, the time has come. Arenât you going to make your move?â
Zhang Ruochen did not send a telepathic message. He said directly, âWhat are you talking about? I donât understand.â
Gong Nanfeng showed an anxious look. He said, âCanât we be honest to each other? Now is the best time. The powerhouses of the Fane of Destiny have suppressed Bai Qingâer. If you attack, she will definitely die.â
âIâm only in the Hundred-Shackle Realm,â Zhang Ruochen said.
Gong Nanfeng said, âYou are the only cultivator Bai Qingâer is afraid of, so she doesnât dare to kill you. If you merge with the Intergold Tiger, it will be a fatal threat to her.â
âMy sea of Qi hasnât recovered yet. If I fight with force, my cultivation will be ruined.â Zhang Ruochen shrugged helplessly and said.
Gong Nanfeng looked at the battlefield in the sea of stars. His expression became more anxious. He said, âItâs now or never. Donât you want to kill that woman and leave?â
âIf I want to leave, I can do it any time,â Zhang Ruochen said.
Gong Nanfeng felt that Zhang Ruochen was too disappointing. He didnât even grasp the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Gritting his teeth, he said, âOkay, letâs run now. Fei Zhong shouldnât be able to stop you.â
âRun? Why should I run? I want to marry her. I have to stay by her side to have a chance. The closer I am to her, the better benefit I could enjoy.â Zhang Ruochen looked at Gong Nanfeng with a puzzled look.
Gong Nanfeng felt so angry that he was about to die. He despised Zhang Ruochen deeply.
âThat woman is so scary. You really want to marry her. Are you lucky enough to enjoy it?â?
When Fei Zhong heard Zhang Ruochenâs words, he could guess that Gong Nanfeng must have bewitched Zhang Ruochen to become enemies with Lady Bai.
How outrageous.
This Overseer of the Divination Division didnât have high cultivation, but he was pretty bold.
Fei Zhong walked over and lifted Gong Nanfeng from behind like a chicken. He slammed him to the ground and stepped on him. He was about to chop down with his battle ax.
âWait!â
Zhang Ruochen stopped Fei Zhong.
Gong Nanfeng was so scared that he curled up into a ball. His face was as pale as paper. In a low voice, âBrother Ruochen, save me.â
âThis thief has bad intentions. I must kill him. Why did Master Ruochen stop me?â Fei Zhong asked.
Zhang Ruochen said, âHe is the vessel spirit of the Tensho Compass. He is very useful to Lady Bai. You canât kill him.â
After some persuasion, Fei Zhong was finally persuaded.
However, he could avoid the death penalty, but he could not escape the punishment.
Fei Zhong kneaded Gong Nanfeng into a dough the size of a fist and tossed it in his hand. From time to time, some screams were worse than a pig being slaughtered.
Fei Zhong was a sensible person. He knew that although Bai Qingâer was fighting with the cultivators of the Fane of Destiny, she could still hear the conversation between Zhang Ruochen and Gong Nanfeng. Even the sound transmission could not hide from her perception.
That was why he needed to show his loyalty.
Zhang Ruochen said that because he knew that Bai Qingâer would hear him even if he used his spiritual power.
It was indeed a good time for the powerhouses of the Fane of Destiny to attack, but it was not a good time for Zhang Ruochen.
Because Zhang Ruochen could see that Bai Qingâer was only using the powerhouses of the Fane of Destiny to cultivate. From the beginning to the end, the initiative was in her hands.
Secondly, this opportunity was just what Gong Nanfeng was waiting for, not what Zhang Ruochen wanted to wait for.
The two people that Zhang Ruochen wanted to wait for had not arrived yet!
Those who want to achieve great things must know how to endure and what was the best time.
Especially when their strength was inferior to their opponents.
Zhang Ruochen no longer watched the battle outside. When he returned to the Sevenstar Imperial Palace, he had to take this opportunity to do something secretly. Only when he was fully prepared and when the time came could he accurately seize it and give Bai Qingâer a fatal blow.
âŠ
Xing Luo had been through hundreds of battles. She could see Bai Qingâerâs intentions and knew that this womanâs cultivation was unfathomable. She was using them to hone herself. The aura on her body became more and more intense.
âUse the Scroll of Four Taboos!â Xing Luo shouted.
The ten Supreme Saints standing in the ten Gates of Destiny each took out a corner of the ancient map and used all their strength to activate it.
The ten-corner ancient map formed one.
The map was 100,000 feet long. White mist dripped down like rain and waterfall, enveloping Bai Qingâer.
The Scroll of Four Taboos was the most precious treasure of the Destiny Division and could be used to deal with deities.
The so-called Scroll of Four Taboos referred to the forbidden space, spirit, soul, and precepts. They were refined by the cultivators of the four great divine palaces of the Fane of Destiny.
Under the Scroll of Four Taboos, no matter how powerful the enemy was, they could only surrender.
As expected, Bai Qingâer was trapped under the Scroll of Four Taboos, as if she had turned into a stone statue, unable to move.
Even the soul fluctuations and spiritual fluctuations on her body had disappeared.
âWhat a powerful woman! Sheâs finally suppressed! Iâll go and cut her down.â
Zionwraith rushed into the white mist and mobilized the world power in his body. His strength and aura rose steadily. His aura was comparable to that of a pseudo god, reaching the first-class level below the divinity.
Fei Zhong realized that something was wrong and wanted to make a move.
Once Bai Qingâer was killed, how could he survive?
However, after sensing the fluctuations in Zionwraithâs body, he had no choice but to give up. Charging up with his cultivation was no different from sending himself to death.
Just as Bai Qingâer was about to be pierced through the space between her eyebrows by Zionwraith, suddenly, the Scroll of Four Taboos shook violently. At the bottom of the scroll, boundless chaotic Qi appeared. With Bai Qingâer as the center, it evolved into an ethereal and chaotic strange scene.
âNot good. Itâs the Primeval Chaos.â
Xing Luoâs expression changed drastically. He wanted to call back Zionwraith, but it was too late.
The so-called First Dawn referred to the Grade Two Saintwill, the Primeval Chaos Saintwill.
The Scroll of Four Taboos could control everything in the world, but it couldnât control the chaos.
THUMP!
An extremely melodious bell chime came from the deepest part of the chaos.
Zionwraithâs body exploded.
At the spot where his body exploded, space started to expand. Through the Dimensional Rifts, one could see a vast world is nurtured.
âThe legend is true. Zionwraith is indeed the spirit of a Macroworld. The Macroworld is within his body. Once Zionwraith dies, the Macroworld will appear and land in the starry sky where Hoth is,â Fei Zhong thought.
âI am the spirit of the world. You canât kill me.â
Zionwraithâs body quickly condensed, and the expanding space shrank. The Dimensional Rifts disappeared.
THUMP!
Zionwraith retreated quickly, but the second bell rang, and his body exploded again.
In the center of the chaos, two rows of bronze chimes appeared. There were sixty-five of them, and they contained endless ancient charm. It was as if they had existed since the beginning of the world.
âThe beginning of chaos, the birth of all living creatures, and the beginning of heaven and Earthâs creation.â
Bai Qingâer stood next to the chimes and tapped them with her fingers.
THUMP!
THUMP!
âŠ
The chimes rang out repeatedly. Every time the chimes rang out, Zionwraithâs body would explode.
After exploding 27 times a row, Zionwraithâs life force was extinguished. In the end, he was unable to escape the chaos. A Macroworld that spanned hundreds of millions of miles gradually appeared in space.
Everyone initially thought Zionwraith could use the world to suppress Bai Qingâer by releasing a Macroworld before it died.
However, the Macroworld was absorbed by the chaos and merged with Bai Qingâerâs saintwill.
The world that spanned 10,000 miles was devoured by 10,000 miles.
The world that spanned 100,000 miles was devoured by 100,000 miles.
Xing Luo said with great difficulty, âItâs the complete Grade Two Saintwill. I didnât expect that there would be a Paramount Realm Yuanhui-level genius in our era, invincible under the divinity. Letâs go. With our strength, we canât kill her. Thereâs no need to make unnecessary sacrifices.â
âIf we want to leave, others might not let us go.â With a resolute expression, Lord Wu Yue smiled bitterly and said, âYou bring them away, and Iâll cover the rear. If this woman is a cultivator from the Celestial Court, then we must get rid of her no matter what.â
Xing Luo stared deeply at Lord Wu Yue and knew his intentions. He said, âActually, we havenât reached that stage yet. Although she has reached the Yuanhui level, I can still feel that there are flaws in her body. Her strength isnât as powerful as the legends say. Otherwise, she would only need one strike to kill Zionwraith. She wouldnât need to use 27 strikes.â
âLetâs go. Donât hesitate anymore. Go and invite Yuan Qianmo and Yan Yu. Only when the three of you work together can we subdue her. Find out her purpose, kill her, and avenge me. Of course, if I can kill her, that would be for the best.â
Lord Wu Yue had made up his mind. He rushed into the chaos, his body burning, and his figure made one feel sad.
âThe cultivators under the Destiny Division will protect the Fane of Destiny with their lives until death.â
