Divine Brilliance

The 30-mile wide formation was pressed down by those layers of green vines in just dozens of breaths.

Although the formation would fight back and slice it up, in just an instant, the wooden vines would recover back to normal.

Yihua at the south came to the front of the formation using several vines.

A green light appeared in his eyes as he stared right at Zong Shou who was on the platform. His tone was cold, filled with rage, hatred and contempt, sounding out over 100 miles.

“You really think there is nothing we can do to you?”

Zong Shou dismissed these words. He frowned slightly and felt that a Giant Vein was stretching beneath the ground toward the center of the formation.

It had begun four hours ago and now it had already reached the core area.

It seemed to be trying to cut off the Earth Veins and attempting to shake the foundations of these 300-odd Heaven Reaching Platforms.

It wasn’t succeeding because Kong Rui was really careful in preventing this.

However, it seemed like he had to kill this person first!

Apart from controlling wood and vine plants, he could sense bits of Life Energy. It was the Great Return Life Technique!

A fierce glow flashed in his eyes as Zong Shou waved his arm and smashed a ball of Nine Glory Light.

He split his attention into two, sensing the Grand Dao hidden within the light, spreading his Spiritual Sense out toward Yihua.

A bright Cloud Flame Flying Knife flew up from the ground and flew in front of him.

Laughter broke out in the air once more.

“This is the first time I’ve seen fellow Cultivator Yihua so angry. However, I agree with your words! Killing 40 of my Taoist Faction sects, slaying the Palace Head. During these 10,000 years, there has never been a person so arrogant! My hundreds of thousands of disciples are innocent so why did they face such a calamity? If I don’t kill him today it will be hard for me, Beixuan, to vent this hatred!”

At the start, he was still smiling but behind, his tone became colder and colder.

A large patch of white mist surged in from the north. A cold glow descended down from the stars.

The Heaven Escaping Energy Circle Formation was already finding it tough to deal with the vines. Although they blocked a large portion of it, there were still threads of cold energy seeping in.

The ground was frozen and the 600,000 soldiers were covered in frost. Some weaker ones couldn’t move at all. Although they didn’t immediately freeze to death, they weren’t in a good state.

Xueyang, who was in the distance, also acted.

“Anyone who offends the Taoist Faction will be killed without pardon!”

Silver flames filled the sky, the entire area was ablaze.

A small breach was opened in the clouds above. A person appeared but he didn’t speak, just looked coldly on. Following this, many bucket-thick lightning bolts stretched down and struck the formation.

One could obviously see that the orderly lines that split this piece of land were twisting and breaking apart.

The restrictions within the formation were collapsing under the silver flames.

At the same time, two green and one blue ray of light struck into the formation from the right and left.

It didn’t break the restrictions but just randomly knocked about, smashing everything in front of them.

Two of them travelled using a sword while one used a hammer. Their aura wasn’t below that of Yihua, Beixuan and the few others!

Dozens of miles away, Shiyue and Shi Wuji were standing on top of a hill.

Yuanhai Demon Child laughed out loud, his voice shaking throughout the heavens.

“I have never seen anyone more arrogant than you! A few years ago you killed Luoming, spoiling our Yuanshi Demon Sect’s matter! Today, I will take your life, this is a Cause and Effect cycle, this is your karma!”

His body flashed dozens of miles away. At this moment, the people who died all exploded and their vital energy was forcefully absorbed.

Yuanhai’s hand had one more glove with spikes which smashed in!

It was also a huge aura, an unstoppable strike.

Zong Shou was too lazy to reply, his intent was still locked onto Yihua and he gathered all of his focus.

Time, accelerate!

Space, stack!

Cause and Effect invert!

Fate, lock on!

The power of many laws slowly added to the Knife.

In the past, when he stacked these four Daos, he needed to use the strength of the Nameless Sword, sucking dry the True Qi and Soul Power in his body.

At this moment, the Heaven Escaping Formation below and the Source Spirit being injected in had easily completed it.

Yihua, in the distance, didn’t bother much at the start. However, moments later, he sensed danger.

It became thicker and thicker. Each law that Zong Shou added onto the Cloud Flame Flying Knife, she felt more terrified.

The nearby Cultivators didn’t sense anything.

“Celestial Realm, they are actually Celestial Realm! Eight Celestial Realm Experts…”

“Zong Shou can be proud of himself!”

“They should have attacked long ago! Since these few were here, then were they just sending us to our deaths?”

“Eight Cultivators working together, it seems like Zong Shou will definitely die!”

“Scoff! That Yuanhai is really annoying! How did he treat the lives of our fellow disciples?”

“Forget it! It is better than the Blood Sword Monster Lord sucking the vital energy away, we will just demand answers from him later…”

They loudly discussed their opinions. In the next instant, a female scream rang out. It was filled with fear and terror.

Everyone looked out, only to see that it was Yihua who was originally standing elegantly on that green vine platform.

At this moment, she was flying down from the platform, appearing haggard and fleeing off into the distance.

Her tone was extremely tragic and sharp like she had bumped into something extremely terrifying.

Layers of Energy Barriers were laid out behind her. Her body was also changing directions to try to avoid Zong Shou’s Spiritual Sense from locking on.

Everyone’s mouths were agape, looking over in total confusion.

Then, a Silver Light flew out from the platform once more.

In that instant, it was like time was stopped and totally fixed.

In just three-hundredths of a second, a Vast Spiritual Energy exploded out.

It came from Yihua who was fleeing into the distance, a Silver Light entered the back of her head.

Her Soul Power couldn’t be controlled as it charged out from her body.

Her soul exploded and her body fell to the ground. Her internal energy was raging intensely like it was struggling and trying to escape. In the end, it calmed down and slowly dissipated.

This time the wilderness was truly deathly silent. The 200,000 Cultivators didn’t make a single sound.

Celestial Realm Expert had died under that knife, the meaning of which was totally different…

At the last moment, a weird power stirred in the air. It forcefully gathered Yihua’s remaining soul and vital energy into a green seed that floated in the air.

Everyone there heaved a sigh of relief when they saw this.

They knew that a Saint Realm Expert was acting outside to help save Yihua’s life.

Even if her body was destroyed, she had saved lifeforce and kept her essence. In just a few thousand years, she could revive.

“So strong! Even Grade-11 Godlike techniques aren’t as strong!”

“What Flying Knife is it to be so amazing?”

“It is the Six God Defensive Knife Technique! I heard that once Zong Shou brings it out, it will definitely kill or injure!”

“He doesn’t shoot it out for no reason?”

One could obviously see the remaining seven Celestial Realm Experts suck in deep breaths. They were more careful and weren’t as domineering as before.

At this moment, Zong Shou’s intent locked onto one person. In just a moment, the green-robed Taoist’s face changed, his eyes were filled with fear.

He instantly fled, tearing open space to try to leave the Cloud World.

But, he saw the silver knife light already surging up from the Heaven Reaching Platform.

A crisp ring broke out as it charged into the heavy lightning glow. Then, there was an intense energy. Right as the green shirt Taoist was halfway out, the knife light went from down up and sliced his body into two!

Half of it was outside, torn into pieces by the power of the void. Half of it fell from the clouds and was smashed into meat paste by the lightning he gathered himself.

Zong Shou didn’t even bother to take a look, turning his focus. This time he locked onto the old man to the south who was holding a drill.

His cultivation was the strongest and his cultivation method was the most domineering. His breaking through speed was the greatest of the remaining six people.

He was just 100,000 feet away from the platform. He passed through Gantian Mountain Armor and flesh and blood. Even after two people died, his aura didn’t reduce at all.

Another Cloud Flame Flying Knife flew into the air. The light and thin dagger sliced the air, but it was totally silent.

Cause and Effect, invert!

Fate, lock on!

100,000 away, the old man sensed something. His brow rose, rage appeared on his face. However, he went forward instead of retreating as he hollered.

“What Six God Defensive Knife, never used for no reason! I want to see what you can do about me!”

His arms shook and a black spiritual armor covered his body. Even his face was covered, making him look really vicious. At the same time, two giant Celestial Grade Flood Dragons appeared and covered his arms.

Protector Beast merged with his body, his arms were firm, covered in silver scales like two giant shields.

A heavy energy gathered in front of him. Dozens of knife-shaped magical treasures spread out from his sleeves, like a wheel and a shield as it spun to protect him.

The giant drill also swelled several times as it spun. He was like a steel beast that was knocked forward!

Kong Yao, who was on the Heaven Reaching Platform, couldn’t help but clench the spear in her hands in nervousness.

Zong Shou didn’t care at all, his eyes squinting as he continued. However, this time he didn’t use the power of laws and instead injected threads of Sword Intent into the Flying Knife.

Wind Cloud Dragon Sword, maniacal!

Instant Space Dragon Sword, speed!

Platinum Dragon Sword, sharpness!

Yellow Dragon Sword, weight!

Lightning Dragon Sword, flash!

The Five Sword Intents didn’t use the word ‘stack’ nor ‘merge’, instead using Absolute Beginning, One of Absolute Beginning!

The light from the small Cloud Flame Flying Knife exploded out. Just as it was slowly getting out of control, Zong Shou waved his sleeves and it shot downward!

This knife was heavy like thousands of mountains, yet at the same time, light as a feather.

A straight knife sped down. It didn’t deviate from its target at all!

However, the pupils of the old man holding the drill constricted.

The Knife light pierced right through the giant drill in his hand!
