Ye Xuan turned his head and saw, not far away, a woman approaching slowly. She wore a flowing blue dress, her long hair fluttering, and in her hand, she held a partially eaten fish.
Upon seeing her, a smile spread across Ye Xuan’s face, “Sister Nian!”
Mu Niannian!
The current Lord of the Heavenly Dao!
Ye Xuan suddenly appeared before Mu Niannian, looking at the familiar woman and saying softly, “Sister Nian, it’s been a while!”
Mu Niannian gently wiped the blood from the corner of Ye Xuan’s mouth, smiling, “I’ve missed you dearly!”
Ye Xuan let out a hearty laugh!
He couldn’t deny it, at this moment, he was truly happy!
So many old friends appearing one by one, how could he not be delighted?
Especially Sister Nian, whom he hadn’t seen since their last parting. He never expected that, in this critical moment, she would personally come to his aid.
He couldn’t help but feel warmed by this!
Seeing Ye Xuan grinning like a child, Mu Niannian smiled faintly, gently ruffling his hair, then said with a laugh, “We’ll catch up later!”
With that, she turned to face the four massive illusory figures, smiling, “Little guy, do you know what these four are?”
Ye Xuan replied earnestly, “They don’t look like good people at first glance!”
Mu Niannian shot him a look, then said, “They’re called the Four Law Gods, from the distant Other Shore Star, where they’re considered quite prominent figures.”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “The enemies keep coming, each stronger than the last, I’m almost at my limit!”
Mu Niannian chuckled lightly, “It’s fine!”
With that, she gently patted Ye Xuan’s shoulder, “Lend me your sword for a bit!”
As she spoke, she soared into the sky. The next moment, the Qingxuan Sword in Ye Xuan’s hand turned into a streak of sword light, appearing in Mu Niannian’s hand in the sky!
Buzz!
A sword cry tore through the heavens!
In the distance, the lead illusory figure holding a long halberd flashed a ferocious look in its eyes, “A mere ant dares to challenge this god!”
With that, it took a step forward, slamming its halberd fiercely towards Mu Niannian!
Boom!
With that strike, all living beings in the Guanxuan Universe felt a terrifying, world-destroying pressure!
These top-tier powerhouses possessed the strength to annihilate universes!
Under everyone’s gaze, Mu Niannian slashed directly at the halberd!
A head-on clash!
Boom!
Suddenly, an explosive sound erupted in the starry sky, and the massive illusory figure with the halberd was instantly forced back a hundred thousand feet. As it stopped, the halberd in its hand shattered into countless fragments!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan below raised his arm and roared, “Sister Nian, forever a god!”
Forever a god!
Below, countless powerhouses from the Guanxuan Academy erupted in excitement!
Qingqiu, watching Mu Niannian in the starry sky, smiled faintly, “Not bad!”
Ding Shaoyao turned to Qingqiu, blinking, “Just not bad?”
Qingqiu gave a soft laugh, saying nothing more.
Ding Shaoyao fell silent, her emotions complex. In that moment, she recalled who this woman was, someone Qingqiu deemed “not bad” could only be among a handful in this universe.
Deep in the starry sky, the illusory figure, repelled by Mu Niannian, stared at the scattered fragments of its halberd, stunned. The next moment, it roared in fury, unleashing a punch towards Mu Niannian!
Boom!
With that punch, the entire galaxy boiled, like a colossal tsunami, lifting entire swathes of space-time tens of thousands of feet high, utterly terrifying!
The whole starry sky seemed minuscule before this punch!
Facing this terrifying blow, Mu Niannian remained calm. She suddenly leapt forward, slashing down with her sword!
Swoosh!
A wisp of sword energy flashed like lightning, followed by a sharp tearing sound echoing through the field. The next moment, the distant endless space-time was torn open with a massive gash, and Mu Niannian vanished from her spot!
Swoosh!
A streak of sword light entered the gash, and after a moment of stillness, a sword light shattered millions of miles of starfield, while a massive illusory head slowly fell from the sky.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan’s face broke into another smile, his heart easing with relief!
Sister Nian!
Still so outstanding, still so powerful!
Above the starry sky, Mu Niannian held the Qingxuan Sword, her long dress fluttering, like an ethereal fairy untouched by the mortal world, while the sword in her hand trembled slightly, emitting bursts of sword cries.
Mu Niannian turned to look deep into the starry sky, smiling, “Boundless Lord, care for a bout?”
The Boundless Lord nodded, “Sure!”
Mu Niannian suddenly soared upward, slashing at the Boundless Lord!
Swoosh!
Her sword energy tore through the heavens, shattering everything!
Deep in the starry sky, the Boundless Lord remained calm, stepping forward, flipping his right hand, and pressing downward. With that press, the surrounding starry sky trembled, and ancient chanting voices suddenly filled the entire cosmic expanse!
Boom!
The sword light shattered, and a figure plummeted straight down!
In an instant, Mu Niannian reappeared above the Guanxuan Universe!
Yet that terrifying force hadn’t dissipated, sweeping downward, threatening to destroy the entire Guanxuan Universe!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan’s face changed drastically, and he was about to act when a hand pressed on his shoulder, it was Qingqiu!
Qingqiu flicked her sleeve, and a wave of sword light shot skyward!
Boom!
The sword light tore upward, and the heavens and earth returned to normal.
Deep in the starry sky, the Boundless Lord looked down at Mu Niannian, “Miss Mu, your sword cannot harm me!”
Mu Niannian gazed at the Boundless Lord, a rare trace of solemnity in her eyes.
That earlier strike had shown her the gap between them!
Then, Qingqiu said softly, “In the current universe, only three swords can kill him, even the Lord of the Great Dao Pen, as things stand, cannot touch him!”
She looked at Mu Niannian, smiling, “But Miss Niannian is also exceptional, your future achievements will surely not fall short of his!”
Mu Niannian chuckled lightly, “It’s fine, if I can’t beat him, I can’t beat him, I won’t lose heart. After all, the universe is infinitely vast, and besides the three swords, there must be countless other supreme powerhouses.”
Qingqiu nodded, smiling, “Indeed!”
At that moment, the Boundless Lord suddenly said, “Let’s get serious then!”
Qingqiu looked at him, “Good!”
The Boundless Lord opened his palm, and a talisman slowly floated out. The next moment, it burst into flames.
Boom!
As it burned, a blood-red flame suddenly swept through the space-time before him, trembling violently. Then, a fiery giant slowly emerged from within!
Boom!
With the appearance of this fiery giant, the starry sky sank under its weight!
It couldn’t bear its power!
This fiery giant stood ten thousand feet tall, with two black horns, its arms like towering pillars. Each step it took caused the galaxy to tremble violently, like an earthquake!
Mu Niannian’s eyes narrowed, “Fire Spirit Clan!”
Fire Spirit Clan!
Ye Xuan turned to Mu Niannian, “Also from the Other Shore Star?”
Mu Niannian nodded, “This clan ranks among the top five on the Other Shore Star! For the Boundless Lord to command them…”
Ye Xuan fell silent, feeling a headache. He realized the enemies were growing stronger and more numerous, when would this end?
With that thought, Ye Xuan suddenly looked up at the Boundless Lord, “Boundless Lord, I think there’s no point in dragging this out! Why don’t you play all your cards at once? Let’s settle this in one go, no more dawdling!”
The Boundless Lord chuckled lightly, “Alright!”
With that, he waved his right hand gently, and the powerhouses attacking An Nanjing, Tian Xiu, and Qi Bitian quietly withdrew.
The brows of An Nanjing and the other two women furrowed!
On the other side, the top powerhouses of the Boundless Universe also stopped, retreating behind the Boundless Lord. The women of the Nether Hall ceased their attacks, gathering around Ye Xuan.
In the starry sky, the Boundless Lord looked down at Ye Xuan and the others, smiling, “The top powerhouses of the three-dimensional universe are almost all here!”
With that, he pointed at An Nanjing and the others, laughing, “How about this, I’ll fight you all first, Martial God An, Clan Leader Tian Xiu, Miss Qi, and Miss Mu, the four of you together, how’s that?”
One against four!
At those words, Ye Xuan’s face changed instantly.
An Nanjing suddenly said, “No need for four against one, I alone am enough!”
As her voice fell, she soared into the sky!
In the starry sky, the Boundless Lord laughed, “As expected of Martial God An, always rising to meet the strong!”
With that, he stepped forward, pointing a finger. The moment it struck, the entire galaxy split open, a massive crack millions of miles long spanning the endless starry river, spreading towards the Boundless Universe at breakneck speed, shattering its entire starry expanse in less than a breath.
One finger shattered the starry river!
And this was just the residual force of that finger…
Below, a ferocious glint flashed in An Nanjing’s eyes. With a twist of her wrist, her spear thrust upward.
A full-force strike!
The spear struck the tip of the Boundless Lord’s finger.
Boom!
Suddenly, the heavens trembled, and An Nanjing was jolted back to her original spot. But instantly, she vanished, and in the starry sky, the Boundless Lord swept two fingers across.
Boom!
The sweep landed precisely on the tip of An Nanjing’s spear.
Crack!
The spear split apart, and An Nanjing abruptly let go, spinning and kicking fiercely at the Boundless Lord’s head.
The Boundless Lord raised his left hand to block!
Boom!
He completely withstood all of An Nanjing’s force, unmoving!
An Nanjing trembled, flashing back a hundred feet, dodging a punch from the Boundless Lord’s right hand. But the next moment, he appeared before her, and countless afterimages surged forward.
Fast!
An Nanjing slowly closed her eyes…
The next moment, under everyone’s gaze, she fought while retreating.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan’s face darkened.
At that moment, An Nanjing suddenly opened her eyes, her hands clapping together fiercely, “Pinnacle of Martial Arts!”
As her voice fell, she threw a punch with her right hand!
Boom!
With that punch, countless afterimages vanished, the world turned pitch black, and countless starry rivers shattered!
The Boundless Lord retreated a hundred feet. Stopping, he looked at An Nanjing in the distance, chuckling lightly, “As expected of someone whose talent once surpassed the Green Shirt Sword Lord, but sadly, you lack the Mandate of Heaven, or your achievements would surely rival his!”
An Nanjing looked at the Boundless Lord, “You’re not your true body!”
Not the true body!
At those words, everyone in the field was stunned!
The Boundless Lord before them wasn’t his true body!
Below, Ding Shaoyao turned to Qingqiu, “You knew he wasn’t the true body?”
Qingqiu nodded.
Ding Shaoyao looked at her, “Why didn’t you say?”
Qingqiu shook her head, “Saying or not makes no difference.”
Ding Shaoyao fell silent.
At that moment, the Boundless Lord suddenly said, “It’s time to end this!”
With that, he looked down at Ye Xuan, “To break the game, I must first kill you. I’m willing to sacrifice myself to kill you, the one with the Mandate of Heaven, to break this infinite cycle. Once you die, the Lord of the Great Dao Pen’s existence becomes meaningless, and everything in the world will cease.”
Boom!
Suddenly, his body began to solidify!
The true body descended!
Seeing this, everyone in the field paled!
Below, Qingqiu’s eyes narrowed, her right hand slowly clenching, a terrifying aura surging from within her!
In the sky, the Boundless Lord laughed, “Miss Qingqiu, it’s too late! Even if you recover your strength, you can’t stop me now!”
At that moment, his body had fully solidified, and everyone saw his appearance, a man in white robes, long hair draped over his shoulders, handsome with a touch of scholarly grace.
The Boundless Lord took a step forward, arriving before Ye Xuan!
An Nanjing and the others’ faces changed drastically, rushing towards Ye Xuan, but the next moment, they were horrified to find that no matter how fast they moved, they remained in place!
They were trapped in countless layers of space-time!
The women frantically tore through the endless space-time, but the Boundless Lord was already before Ye Xuan.
Qingqiu’s eyes were bloodshot, her aura surging wildly, but she was still too slow.
She had been deceived!
The Boundless Lord’s true goal wasn’t to kill those around Ye Xuan or destroy the current universe, his ultimate aim all along was to kill Ye Xuan, to perish with the myriad worlds, ending the world created by the Lord of the Great Dao Pen!
He was sacrificing himself to end this generation’s Mandate bearer and the entire cosmos!
Ye Xuan looked at the man inches away, feeling death in that moment, unlike any before, this time, he felt his life truly slipping away!
In that moment, the Mandate of Heaven’s fortune on him rapidly dissipated, vanishing completely in an instant, unlike when he had dispersed it himself, this time, it was destroyed by an external force!
Resist?
He knew he couldn’t resist!
Give up?
Of course, give up!
Ye Xuan slowly closed his eyes, whispering, “Qing’er, I don’t want to struggle anymore!”
Boom!
Beside Ye Xuan, space-time suddenly split open, and the next moment, a woman in a plain dress slowly stepped out.
…
