Qi Muwei didn’t need to ask further; she knew Lan Xiaobu was trapped in the City of Eternal Life, with four Creation Saints sealing it off.
At that moment, she had no time to deal with Shen Qingxuan. Her figure flashed, and she swiftly dashed out of the Creation Market.
“Senior Sister, where are you going?” Shen Qingxuan called out anxiously.
Qi Muwei’s voice echoed back, “Wait for me here. I have urgent business, but I’ll be back in a few days…”
As the last word reached him, Qi Muwei’s figure had already vanished. Once she saved Lan Xiaobu, she would return to sort this matter out slowly.
Shen Qingxuan’s face darkened instantly. He stared in the direction Qi Muwei had disappeared, standing still for the time it takes half an incense stick to burn before heading to the Listening Dao Tower. Since Qi Muwei said she’d return in a few days, he would wait for her here.
He needed to acquire Qi Muwei’s Dao body as soon as possible to have a chance at advancing his Radiant Great Path to the Creation Saint Realm.
…
*Dong!* The third chime exploded.
Lan Xiaobu, struggling to maintain the Cosmic Dimensional Model, couldn’t help but spit out a jet of blood. If it were just the Vast Bell, his Cosmic Dimensional Model could fully block it.
But the Indestructible Hammer, paired with the Vast Bell, was almost flawless.
Under this chime, at least a hundred thousand cultivators at the edges of the Cosmic Dimensional Model had their bodies collapse and Dao foundations shatter. The model had shrunk to a mere ten-mile radius. If this continued, every cultivator in the City of Eternal Life would be killed.
This was only because of the Cosmic Dimensional Model. Without it, not just a hundred thousand, but everyone—including Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu—would have perished under the Vast Bell.
“Wuji, I can’t hold on much longer. We have to leave now,” Lan Xiaobu said, frustration in his voice. It all came down to his strength being too low. If he were in the Yan Realm, he wouldn’t need to defend like this—he’d charge out and fight.
Mo Wuji, however, let out a breath and said, “It’s fine, I’ve found a way. When the next hammer falls, you suddenly retract the Cosmic Dimensional Model. I’ll find a way to tear open a corner of the seal and ambush the Indestructible Saint. While I attack him, you summon a flight treasure, and we escape together. Remember, the moment I rip the seal, rush out immediately. Ignore the Indestructible Hammer—we can dodge it and, at worst, take some injuries.”
If they simply withdrew the Cosmic Dimensional Model, Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu would be stuck under the seal, unable to ambush or even attack the saints with treasures.
But Mo Wuji had a trump card: his Divine Sense Three Arrows, combined with the sixth finger of the Seven Realms Finger, Falsehood, and the power of the heaven-opening treasure, the Wheel of Time. He was ninety percent confident he could tear open a corner of the seal and strike the Indestructible Saint.
Lan Xiaobu said quickly, “Won’t that just be a scratch?”
Mo Wuji sighed, “This time, we have no choice. Once we reach the Yan Realm, we’ll come back to deal with these guys.”
Lan Xiaobu, brimming with killing intent, said, “After taking such a huge loss, we can’t just let it go. Here’s the plan: when you ambush, I’ll seize the moment to target the Indestructible Hammer, then summon the Seven Realms Stone to escape. With the Seven Realms Stone, those bastards won’t catch us.”
If they could lock down the Indestructible Hammer, Lan Xiaobu was confident Mo Wuji could severely wound the Indestructible Saint. Everything had to be fast, or if the other three Creation Saints reacted, it would spell trouble.
“Deal,” Mo Wuji agreed instantly. He’d miscalculated earlier, focusing only on what he could achieve, not considering that Lan Xiaobu could act too.
If they escaped, the cultivators in the City of Eternal Life would likely be safe. These saints were primarily after Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu. Once they were gone, the saints would stop.
After agreeing, they didn’t wait long. The overwhelming aura surged again in the void, and everyone knew the Indestructible Hammer was about to fall once more. Each strike shrank the Cosmic Dimensional Model further.
In just over a day, a third of the cultivators under the model had perished. If this continued, everyone in the City of Eternal Life would fall.
As the Indestructible Hammer’s descent loomed, every cultivator under the Cosmic Dimensional Model trembled in fear. Yet they were helpless. Some knew this disaster stemmed from Lan Xiaobu and Mo Wuji, but sheltered under their protection, none dared speak out.
*Crack, crack!* The sound of rules shattering echoed in the void, and everyone desperately crowded toward the center of the Cosmic Dimensional Model.
But at that moment, the Cosmic Dimensional Model, which had shielded them from the storm, vanished abruptly. They could only watch as the colossal hammer crashed down.
Despair filled some cultivators’ eyes. Who could withstand the Indestructible Hammer’s might? Even if they blocked it, the fourth chime would soon follow. The first three death chimes had been mitigated by the Cosmic Dimensional Model, but with it gone, the fourth was imminent.
“Act!” Mo Wuji roared, unleashing three Divine Sense Arrows. Following them, he stepped into the void and pointed a finger.
Seven Realms Finger, Sixth Finger: Falsehood!
The Indestructible Saint, Zhuang Yinchen, frantically controlling the Indestructible Hammer to strike the Cosmic Dimensional Model, saw it vanish suddenly. Then, a sharp pain pierced his sea of consciousness. Ambushed! He frantically summoned his divine sense domain to protect his sea, blocking the arrows’ advance.
But this weakened the Indestructible Hammer’s power instantly. At that moment, he saw a finger pointing toward him.
This finger seemed to come from another vast universe, carrying Dao laws that could shatter all falsehoods. Any seal under this finger was illusory, destined to be broken.
What a powerful finger! Zhuang Yinchen had no time to think. He retreated frantically, ignoring that his retreat would weaken their spatial seal. With his life on the line, who cared about the seal?
*Crack!* The seal tore open, and Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu rushed out simultaneously.
Knowing Lan Xiaobu was handling the Indestructible Hammer, how could Mo Wuji let Zhuang Yinchen escape? As he charged out, his divine Dao charm surged, and a faint light wheel shot forth. To onlookers, the wheel seemed intangible, as if it might vanish at any moment. Yet it carried the Dao laws of life and death, filling the space as if they would split apart the next moment.
At the same time, a vast mill rose in the void. The mill’s space quickly enveloped the Indestructible Hammer’s rampant domain, grinding away its Indestructible Dao laws. As Mo Wuji had predicted, Lan Xiaobu wouldn’t let the hammer interfere with his attack on Zhuang Yinchen.
The light wheel Mo Wuji unleashed split its life and death Dao laws clearly. The Indestructible Saint, pale-faced, felt the oppressive weight of death again. Clearly, the death Dao law was targeting him.
With his Indestructible Hammer locked by Lan Xiaobu’s Cosmic Mill, if he couldn’t evade the incoming death Dao law, he was doomed.
Having just achieved the Creation Saint Realm, with his grand plans barely begun, how could he die?
But he knew no one could help him now. The Eternal Life Saint was controlling the Vast Bell, each chime draining immense energy, leaving him unable to assist. The Reflective Path Saint and Thunder Saint were reinforcing the seal on the City of Eternal Life, aiding the Eternal Life Saint. Though they could help, the Indestructible Saint held little hope.
At this moment, even if they helped, they couldn’t kill Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu. Saving him would be all they could do.
The Indestructible Saint believed neither Reflective Path nor Thunder would willingly save him—they’d rather see him dead.
Realising this, the Indestructible Saint turned and fled without hesitation, trusting the Indestructible Hammer could shield him from one blow. Though he knew it might be seized, his life was worth more than the hammer.
*Crack!* Despite his swift retreat, his domain was eroded by the Wheel of Life and Death’s divine Dao charm, his bones beginning to fracture. With his Dao laws ground down by the Cosmic Mill, Zhuang Yinchen felt his Great Path laws slipping away rapidly. He even doubted whether, after escaping, his strength would remain at the Yan Realm. His Creation Saint Dao foundation would surely be torn apart again.
Seeing the Indestructible Saint flee so decisively, with Reflective Path and Thunder Saints’ domains locking onto him, Mo Wuji couldn’t finish him off and grew anxious.
At that moment, he heard Lan Xiaobu’s transmission: “You take the Indestructible Hammer and hold off the other three bastards. I’ll deal with the Indestructible Saint.”
Having worked together before, Mo Wuji didn’t hesitate at Lan Xiaobu’s words. He decisively unleashed void array patterns to envelop the Indestructible Hammer.
Simultaneously, Lan Xiaobu’s Cosmic Mill tore through spatial distance, locking onto Zhuang Yinchen.
Likewise, the Reflective Path Saint and Thunder Saint acted. They couldn’t hold back now—it would be unjustifiable.
The Eternal Life Saint also halted the Vast Bell’s activation, summoning a treasure to attack Mo Wuji.
This was their only chance to kill Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu. If they missed it, they might never get another.
With no need to pursue the Indestructible Saint, Mo Wuji summoned the Heavenly Mechanism Disk. While blocking the attacks from Reflective Path and Thunder Saints, his void displacement array patterns fully secured the Indestructible Hammer.
