When the tea-loving middle-aged man thrust the knife, there was an immediate reaction from the Time Mystic Realm. The endless gray s.p.a.ce began to shake and traces of wreckage appeared in the stacked up layers of s.p.a.ce.
This shaking could theoretically easily kill any cultivators at the Great Dao realm. But when the shaking approached Qin Yu, it instantly dissipated and vanished.
Within Qin Yu’s soul s.p.a.ce, inside the half-hidden great sun phantom, a sharp light flashed in the little blue lamp’s eyes.
In that instant, it had found a method to save Qin Yu. As for whether it would work or not, it had no time to consider this.
The little blue lamp followed its instincts and instantly reacted. Its aura erupted into the void, causing the shaking in the Time Mystic Realm to become even fiercer and more violent.
There was a third party that had made its move and it seemed they were trying to use the Time Mystic Realm to kill Qin Yu. But, this gave the little blue lamp the perfect opportunity to interfere. It wanted to stir up the waters so much that no one could tell who was friend or foe.
Now, everything would depend on Qin Yu’s luck. It needed to wait and see if that great figure who constructed the Time Altar would follow the expected path.
No one knew what the result would be. Life and death rested on nothing but a faint hope.
…
Celestial mountain banquet.
Daoist Scarlet Sky’s complexion clouded over. He could feel that his saber intent had been swallowed up by infinite darkness.
Even though he had expressed his status and ident.i.ty, this other party was still being so overbearing and hardheaded. Could it be that today’s matters had all been planned by that clan? Had they been aiming at his Time Altar and wanting to take it from him to serve as a warning from the very beginning?
How hateful!
Scarlet Sky clenched his fists and saber lights flashed deep in his eyes. Blazing cruelty gushed out in his heart, so much so that he wanted to cut down the world. His thoughts raced. Amongst those that had stepped into the Eternal boundary, none of them were stupid. Even if he was angry, he could feel the clear disparity of strength.
Although he had become an Eternal and wasn’t afraid of any enemies when he held his saber in hand, he knew that when facing that clan, there were no chances of winning.
Retreat. He could only retreat.
Because from the darkness that swallowed his saber light, Scarlet Sky could feel the other party’s great strength, their conviction that was as firm as a rock…and their deep killing intent.
And this killing intent was able to quicken his heart and stir up unease. From this alone, he knew that the other party had the qualifications to truly threaten his life.
Those that became Eternal had an everlasting and boundless lifespan. Their vitality no longer faded and they didn’t have to suffer from their life being exhausted, leading to eventual death. There were bound to be ways to return today’s shame in the future.
It’s just one Time Altar. I’ll give it to you. One day, I’ll make sure that you repay me ten times, a hundred times over!
Looking throughout the endless heavens and myriad worlds, even that incredibly formidable clan had enemies. Scarlet Sky only needed an opportunity.
At the sixth white jade table from the left, there was a woman wearing imperial robes and a royal crown. She was elegant and opulent. Through the blurriness that covered her face, one could see a pair of eyes that contained infinite dignity and pressure.
At this time, when she looked at Daoist Scarlet Sky, she gently furrowed her eyebrows. Even though he was immaculate in hiding his aura, he was still her good friend and she could vaguely feel some changes in his aura.
Her lips moved and her voice resounded directly in his ears. “What happened?”
Scarlet Sky let out a breath. He calmly said, “It’s nothing. After the banquet is over, I’ll explain it to Empress.”
Empress nodded and raised her wine cup. “A toast.”
Scarlet Sky smiled and nodded. He lifted his wine cup. But before it reached his mouth, a strength burst out from his fingers and smashed the wine cup into pieces.
A scorching hot aura instantly burned the wine dry. Surprised eyes immediately turned his way. Scarlet Sky clenched his teeth and shouted, “They have gone too far!”
Just now, he felt a formidable burst of strength coming from the Time Altar – the other party didn’t just want the Time Altar, they wanted to use it as a medium to display the Laws of Destruction, tracing it back to the source and eradicating his Great Dao.
This enmity was irreconcilable!
Scarlet Sky cultivated the Saber Dao and his temperament was brave and stalwart due to this. His arts were like the burning heavens, capable of boiling the seas. Now that he had been pushed back into a corner, if he continued to retreat then not only would his Dao heart be damaged, but his future cultivation would be shackled down!
His thoughts changed. Scarlet Sky came to a decision. He would completely break off any idea of peace with that clan.
Empress could feel the firm resolve coming from her good friend. She said, “Scarlet Sky, you must consider everything clearly first.”
Scarlet Sky nodded. “Thank you Empress for the reminder. But today, I cannot draw back any further.” He stood up and swept his eyes in all directions, “In today’s cultivation, I have been bothered by others and have disrupted your good time. This was my mistake. Just now, a cultivator from that clan tried to destroy the dao foundation of my cultivation!”
The entire mountain fell silent!
To destroy the dao foundation of an Eternal was to thrust them into mediocrity so that they could never rise back up…compared to killing them, this was a far more horrifying fate.
As for the ident.i.ty of ‘that clan’, for even an Eternal to not be able to say their name, in the endless heavens and myriad worlds, there was only them alone.
Scarlet Sky’s expression was frosty and determined. “Although my Dao is frail and weak, I will not resign myself to destruction. I will not allow myself to be oppressed like some cattle or sheep. Today, I will kill the cultivator of that bloodline. I will use their blood as a sacrifice, announcing to this world that the two of us will never be able to exist beneath the same skies!”
He lifted a hand and the s.h.i.+ning river of stars up above suddenly dimmed down and changed colors. Radiant flames appeared, spreading across the heavens. The flames cut through the world, immense and mighty, submerging past everyone’s line of sight and vanis.h.i.+ng into the endless nothingness.
That clan!
If you want to use the Time Altar as a springboard to destroy my Great Dao, then prepare to face my anger!
…
In the spatial channel, the Patriarch’s eyes were ice cold. “You are courting death!”
With a loud shout, he lifted a hand and grasped forward. Dazzling golden light appeared from nothingness, rapidly gathering in his palm.
In the blink of an eye, a golden sword appeared in his hand. Although it was only a translucent phantom, it still emitted a terrifying strength that froze s.p.a.ce.
He lifted a hand and slashed out. The golden sword phantom flashed past. Then, the spatial channel directly split into two.
Blazing flames spanned across s.p.a.ce to arrive here, bringing with them the intent to destroy.
Rumble rumble –
The golden sword light cut into the flames. A trillion saber lights appeared within them and a heaven-shaking collision erupted.
…
The trembling Time Altar suddenly fell into a frozen state. Then, the countless layers of duplicated s.p.a.ce vanished.
All that remained was the original s.p.a.ce within the Time Altar, one that was the size of a house. As countless cracks appeared, they rapidly spread to every corner of the altar’s s.p.a.ce.
A rich power of time erupted. Like numerous waves, they gathered together, forming a heaven-reaching tsunami.
Wherever it pa.s.sed, everything was destroyed!
An illusory figure emerged from the destructive tsunami. Its appearance was blurry, but the aura it released was completely the same as the bloodline hidden away in Qin Yu’s body. After a brief struggle, it was thoroughly smashed to pieces.
Flesh and blood splattered in all directions before being instantly erased from existence.
Within Qin Yu’s soul s.p.a.ce, the figure in the half-hidden sun became much blurrier.
In order to create a simulation of that clan’s aura, he had used up too much power. Now, he no longer had any strength remaining to help.
Whether Qin Yu would live or not…the critical moment was coming. He could only hope that his help this time didn’t go to waste!
…
At the summit banquet, Scarlet Sky slashed out with the fires of the burning heaven. After a brief period of peace, everyone’s complexions changed.
The vault of heaven split open and a golden sword light spanned through s.p.a.ce to arrive here.
Although it locked onto Scarlet Sky alone, everyone who saw it could clearly feel the power of destruction contained within the sword light.
“Come at me!”
Scarlet Sky laughed out loud. With a thought, a trillion flames emerged from thin air. Each flame had its own spiritual intelligence. They condensed into various forms – flaming giants, flaming beasts, and an endless variety of other creatures. These flaming beings all reared back their heads and roared at the skies. The temperature was so high that everything could be burnt into nothingness!
This was his domain, the world of inextinguishable flames. The golden sword light submerged into it, instantly vanis.h.i.+ng.
