“If you’re not convinced, then unleash your ‘Dao of Self.’ I’ll show you what ‘One Sword Breaks All Laws’ truly means! If I need a second sword, consider it my loss!”
Her voice fell, and a hush descended. Everyone was stunned. The Sword Wielder, Qingqiu, was actually willing to fight Master Kongwu for the White Robe Star Venerate!
From a distance, Ji Fuyao bit her delicate lip. Something isn’t quite right here, she mused. She turned to Xuanji Holy Lord. “Fourth Junior Sister, this Qingqiu…”
Xuanji Holy Lord offered a soft smile. “Let her become a junior sister, then she can try my cooking.”
Ye Chen let out a choked ‘pfft’ of laughter, unable to hold it in.
Wuwu rubbed his nose. The thought alone is terrifying, he mused.
At that moment, Qingqiu’s will stirred. The Spirit Sword before her shot forth directly at Master Kongwu, tearing through the starry sky like a Star River. Whoosh! That single sword strike instantly annihilated Master Kongwu’s Dao and Stance. Endless golden light dimmed and vanished, and countless Buddhist profound principles shattered. One Sword Breaks All Laws! Wherever the sword qi reached, only sword qi remained! All other Dao patterns ceased to exist!
Everyone gasped in shock. Truly worthy of the Star River Alliance’s Sword Wielder!
Master Kongwu’s expression flickered. His hand seals shifted, and even more profound Buddhist principles surged from his body. His Dao of Self flowed forth, forming a heaven-piercing barrier. But it was useless! Not only was the Spirit Sword’s Momentum defying heaven, but the sword itself was an Ancient Ancestor-tier Spirit Sword!
Crack! Crack! Master Kongwu’s Dao techniques shattered completely! Whoosh! A Spirit Sword pressed directly against Master Kongwu’s brow, a trickle of fresh blood slowly trailing down.
Witnessing this, everyone froze. The world fell into a dead silence.
In everyone’s minds, Ancient Ancestors were absolutely invincible! Yet today, the Sword Wielder Qingqiu had shattered Ancient Ancestor Master Kongwu’s Dao with a single sword strike! Master Kongwu’s voice, though calm, held a tremor of disbelief as he looked at Qingqiu. “You dare kill me?”
The words had barely left his lips! The Spirit Sword, still pressed against Master Kongwu’s brow, suddenly erupted with heaven-piercing Momentum, like a Star River piercing through a Star. Whoosh! A massive blood-hole appeared in Master Kongwu’s brow! His colossal Avatar Clone began to topple backward.
Master Kongwu’s remaining Divine Sense echoed with a shocked cry, “You dare kill me!!” His aura was rapidly vanishing. This Nine-star Myriad Phase Realm Clone began to completely annihilate!
It was because the sword qi contained terrifying Sword Intent—this was Qingqiu’s Dao. One Sword Breaks All Laws! If Master Kongwu’s Main Body had been here, Qingqiu wouldn’t have been able to slay him! But this was merely a Clone! Qingqiu could annihilate it with a flick of her finger!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Master Kongwu’s colossal Avatar Clone began to collapse incessantly. The endless golden light dimmed and extinguished, his Dao of Self utterly crumbling.
Witnessing this, everyone was dumbfounded. Master Kongwu’s Clone had been slain! Qingqiu hadn’t hesitated for a moment!
Then, Qingqiu turned, a faint smile gracing her lips as she looked at Lu Xuan. “White Robe Senior, I killed Kongwu, and there’s still room for negotiation. But if you were to act, I fear Cold Mountain Temple would cease to exist today.”
Lu Xuan’s face twitched. Just keep quiet, act like a big shot! he thought. In Qingqiu’s eyes, I’m apparently that powerful! The Void Kun let out a soft huff. In its eyes, Master was indeed that mighty! But to the onlookers, those words were utterly shocking. Could it be that Qingqiu had already witnessed just how powerful the White Robe Star Venerate truly was? Otherwise, she wouldn’t speak like that.
Too much had truly happened today. The arrival of Master Kongwu’s Nine-star Myriad Phase Realm Clone, followed by Qingqiu’s decisive strike to slay it—the shock of these events was absolutely no less than the shattering of the Third Star Ring. And the White Robe Star Venerate was the undisputed protagonist of it all!
Soon after, Ji Fuyao and the other three disciples soared into the air, divine radiance swirling beneath their feet, shooting towards Lu Xuan. “Master.”
Lu Xuan nodded.
Ji Fuyao looked at Qingqiu, asking, “You and Master…”
Qingqiu replied calmly, “Your Master saved me.” As she spoke, her snow-white neck tilted slightly, turning towards Lu Xuan. Her gaze held a new, deeper meaning. Unbeknownst to her, a trace of ‘Sir’s’ imprint had already been etched into Qingqiu’s heart. Her Sword Dao, ‘One Sword Breaks All Laws,’ had also been born from ‘Sir’s’ Dao.
Ji Fuyao’s beautiful eyes flickered with a hint of cunning, and she said no more.
Qingqiu looked at Lu Xuan. “White Robe Senior, for now, I won’t be returning to the First Star Ring. If you have any need, I will descend.” She took out a personal Jade Slip and handed it to Lu Xuan. Giving a Jade Slip, a lingering fragrance in the hand.
Ji Fuyao bit her delicate lip again.
In a flash, Qingqiu’s plain skirt fluttered, her Jade foot stepping into the distance, her figure vanishing from the spot.
Lu Xuan accepted the Jade Slip, then chuckled, “Alright, let’s go. Time to continue annihilating the Tianchen Empire!”
Ji Fuyao nodded. “Understood, Master!”
Next, the group began to clear the battlefield. The spoils this time were truly immense! Nearly a hundred High-rotation Star Venerates had been annihilated! Mid-grade Star Stones piled up like mountains! There were also vast quantities of Star Venerate Realm Spirit Weapons and Armor! And the entire foundation of the Tianchen Army!
Meanwhile, the onlookers watching from afar were filled with boundless envy. This was the Tianchen Empire! Now, it was about to be absorbed by the White Robe Star Venerate and his disciples.
Ah Li of the Fox Clan smiled faintly. “The White Robe Star Venerate still managed to overcome this tribulation.” Perhaps because of Xiao Yin, deep down, she held a certain fondness for the White Robe Star Venerate. And last time, he had even touched her fox tail. So embarrassing… she thought.
Just then, behind Ah Li, the Grey-robed Old Woman suddenly spoke. “I didn’t expect this White Robe Star Venerate Lu Xuan to be quite formidable. To think he could make Qingqiu act on his behalf.” Her tone was subtly sarcastic, a mix of praise and underlying suspicion.
Ah Li was speechless. The Grey-robed Old Woman continued, “I think we might be able to win over the White Robe Star Venerate. There’s definitely more than just him behind the scenes. This aligns with our previous conjectures; he has connections with the Star River Alliance.”
“If we can get the White Robe Star Venerate’s help, opening the Fox Fortune Holy Land and retrieving the Bronze Ancient Palace would become far less difficult.”
Ah Li didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She felt that all the powerful cultivators of the Fox Clan had fallen into a kind of obsession. Just like the Grey-robed Old Woman, who was now fawning after him, despite her earlier arrogance. The Fox Clan’s sole objective was to open the Fox Fortune Holy Land, evade the murderous intentions of numerous Ancient Ancestors, refine the Bronze Ancient Palace, and lead the Fox Clan to rise again. In their interactions with others, they seemed to have lost all patience. They only considered a person’s value, never what the Fox Clan could offer in return. This was not good.
Ah Li looked at the Grey-robed Old Woman. “I’ll think more about cooperating with the White Robe Star Venerate. We are indeed looking for a good opportunity to open the Fox Fortune Holy Land!” Everything was ready, they just needed the final push!
Moments later, Lu Xuan, along with Ji Fuyao and the other three disciples, shot directly towards the Tianchen Empire’s Imperial Star! Boom! A Divine Arc streaked across the sky, its momentum overwhelming!
The onlookers watched, their hearts trembling. The Fallen Star Sea was about to undergo a monumental change!
Meanwhile, in the First Star Ring. On a Spirit Peak of Cold Mountain Temple, Master Kongwu’s voice, tinged with anger, resonated towards the Star River Alliance. “Alliance Leader, my Clone was slain by your daughter, Qingqiu. I demand an explanation!”
