Stunned!
Zhao Ji was utterly stunned!
The Heavenly Dao was kneeling?
At that moment, his mind went completely blank.
He never imagined that the invincible Heavenly Dao would kneel before this woman in the plain skirt.
What was wrong with the world?
His mind was so overwhelmed with shock that it was blank. This was the invincible Heavenlythe Heavenly Dao!
And now, this invincible Heavenly Dao was kneeling before this woman.
What was happening?
Qing’er looked at the kneeling Heavenly Dao, her expression cold. “When my brother was in trouble, why didn’t you show up?”
The Heavenly Dao’s voice trembled. “I was catching up with Wubian Zhu… I was negligent. Please, Lady Destiny, forgive me!”
Wubian Zhu: “…”
Qing’er’s face remained icy, her Xingdao Sword suddenly quivering.
The Heavenly Dao’s expression changed drastically. He knelt before Ye Xuan, sobbing, “Young Master Ye, please plead for me! I shouldn’t have been bragging with Wubian…”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then said, “Qing’er, let it go.”
He felt this wasn’t quite right; after all, the Heavenly Dao had no obligation to protect him.
Qing’er nodded. “I’ll listen to you.”
The Heavenly Dao’s body slumped in relief, the weight in his heart finally lifting.
He wouldn’t have to die!
Though he was merely a wisp of consciousness, he had gained sentience, making him a living being, and a hard-earned one at that. He was terrified of death.
In the distance, Zhao Ji was completely dumbfounded.
Was the Heavenly Dao really this submissive?
Zhao Ji looked at the woman in the plain skirt, bewildered. “Are you the Master of the Great Dao Pen?”
Heavenly Dao: “…”
The woman glanced at Zhao Ji, waved her sleeve, and he vanished without a trace.
Completely erased.
Nearby, Zhao Ming’s body began to tremble uncontrollably.
The woman turned to Zhao Ming, her Xingdao Sword suddenly piercing his brow.
Boom!
Zhao Ming’s body shook violently.
At that moment, a jade pendant on his chest quivered. A cold voice emerged from it. “Touch my husband, and I’ll wipe out your ten clans!”
The woman’s brows furrowed.
The Heavenly Dao’s face turned deathly pale.
The jade pendant transformed into a white light, landing in the field. As the light dissipated, a woman appeared.
She wore a black skirt, a purple headscarf, and held a Shura Thorn in her right hand.
Yigui Clan!
The Yigui Clan was a supreme overlord, their strength surpassing both Dao Sect and Daoxin Sect. If not for the sects being founded by the Master of the Great Dao Pen, they likely wouldn’t exist anymore.
This woman was Yi Yi, the princess of the Yigui Clan.
Upon appearing, she glanced at Zhao Ming. Seeing his soul growing fainter, her gaze turned cold. She turned to the woman in the plain skirt. “You did this?”
The woman nodded. “Yes.”
Yi Yi’s eyes narrowed. “Who gave you such audacity?”
The woman stared at Yi Yi. “Call for help.”
Yi Yi’s lips curled into a sneer. “So arrogant. I hope you stay this bold later.”
Her voice fell, and she opened her palm, revealing a transmission talisman, which she crushed.
Nearby, Qin Guan looked at the still-kneeling Heavenly Dao. “She doesn’t know you?”
The Heavenly Dao hesitated, then said, “She’s not high enough to know me.”
The woman glanced at the Heavenly Dao, who immediately prostrated himself. “I meant no offense…”
Qin Guan smiled faintly. “Don’t be so nervous. Stand up and talk.”
The Heavenly Dao shook his head vigorously. “No… I feel safer kneeling.”
Qin Guan: “…”
Yi Yi frowned. “How can you be so spineless?”
The Heavenly Dao shot her a cold glance. If not for the woman in the plain skirt, he’d have slapped this woman dead.
Who was she to question his status?
At that moment, the space beside Yi Yi split open, and four Yigui Clan powerhouses stepped out.
All were Dao God Realm experts.
Seeing this, Dao Yan’s expression darkened.
The Yigui Clan could summon four Dao God Realm experts so easily…
The four bowed to Yi Yi. “Greetings, Princess.”
Yi Yi looked at the woman in the plain skirt. “Cripple her.”
The four turned to her, ready to act, but her Xingdao Sword flew out.
Swish, swish, swish, swish!
In an instant, the heads of the four Yigui Clan experts flew off, blood gushing like a fountain, a horrifying sight.
One sword, four top-tier Yigui Clan experts slain.
Stunned!
Yi Yi was utterly stunned.
How were they gone?
The woman looked at Yi Yi. “Keep calling.”
Keep calling!
Yi Yi’s face grew solemn. “Who are you?”
The woman swung her Xingdao Sword.
Slap!
A crisp sound echoed as a deep sword mark appeared on Yi Yi’s right cheek.
The woman stared at Yi Yi. “Call for help.”
Call for help!
Slapped, Yi Yi’s composure shattered. She roared, “I’ll make you pay a heavy price!”
She took out a transmission stone and crushed it.
Nearby, Zhao Ming, not yet fully dead, said shakily, “Yi’er, let it go.”
At that moment, his mind cleared. He saw more than Yi Yi did. This woman in the plain skirt was no ordinary person. The Heavenly Dao was still kneeling!
Zhao Ming glanced at the Heavenly Dao, about to speak, but his soul vanished completely.
Gone.
Seeing Zhao Ming’s soul extinguished, Yi Yi’s face twisted with rage. She turned to the woman, about to speak, when the woman swung her sword again.
Slap!
This time, Yi Yi’s entire face was mangled by the Xingdao Sword.
Her face became a grotesque ruin, terrifying to behold.
Yi Yi froze in place.
The next moment, she roared, “I’m from the Yigui Clan!”
Qing’er swung her sword again.
Slap!
Yi Yi’s entire head was smashed.
Yet, she didn’t die.
For the first time, Yi Yi felt fear.
She had never met someone unafraid of the Yigui Clan.
At that moment, an old man appeared in the field, also from the Yigui Clan.
He glanced at the woman. “How may I address you?”
Qing’er raised her sword and struck.
Swish!
The old man’s head flew off.
His soul was obliterated.
Seeing this, Yi Yi froze.
The woman looked at her. “Keep calling for help.”
Yi Yi stared at her in terror. “Who… who are you?”
The woman’s brows furrowed. “I told you to call for help. Can’t you understand?”
Yi Yi glared at her. “The Yigui Clan rules countless universes, our influence spanning myriad realms. Do you really want a fight to the death?”
At that moment, she began to soften.
Though not fully yielding, her words carried a hint of threat.
Qing’er looked down at the Heavenly Dao. “Where’s the Yigui Clan?”
The Heavenly Dao’s voice trembled. “Yigui Realm.”
Qing’er nodded. “Point the way.”
Point the way!
The Heavenly Dao’s face paled. He hurriedly said, “Lady Destiny, the Yigui Realm has trillions of lives…”
As the Heavenly Dao of the entire new world, a vast universe including the Yigui Realm, his power came partly from the Master of the Great Dao Pen and partly from the countless lives in this world.
If Lady Destiny destroyed the Yigui Realm with one sword, it would be like severing his limbs, drastically reducing his strength. Worse, the entire new world might collapse.
If that happened, he’d be in deep trouble.
The Master had left him here to guard the new world.
Back then, the Master was imprisoned in the Milky Way for failing his duties. The Heavenly Dao didn’t want to end up like that.
Hearing this, Qing’er frowned. “What’s that got to do with me?”
The Heavenly Dao’s expression froze. He quickly looked at Ye Xuan, knowing that if he spoke again, he might be finished first.
Only one person could sway Lady Destiny: Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then smiled. “Qing’er, let it go.”
Qing’er glanced at Ye Xuan, her voice softening. “I know you want to establish your Order Sword Dao… Fine, if I destroy the entire universe, your order would be useless…”
She trailed off.
Ye Xuan’s face darkened.
Order Sword Dao.
Its success relied on establishing order among countless beings. But Qing’er could wipe them all out.
If she did, what use would his Order Sword Dao be?
Ye Xuan sighed inwardly.
Order Sword Dao.
It seemed his Order Sword Dao needed Qing’er’s support and compliance to succeed. Otherwise…
He felt a headache coming on.
Qingqiu talked of overtaking on the curve, but his gut told him that even with cheats, surpassing Qing’er was unlikely.
The Heavenly Dao, hearing Qing’er abandon the idea of destroying the Yigui Realm, breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness.
Thank goodness this powerhouse gave up, or the new world might have collapsed entirely.
Suddenly, the Heavenly Dao turned to Yi Yi. As she opened her mouth to speak, he roared in fury, grabbing her throat. “Stop talking! One more word, and the world ends! Damn it…”
The crowd: “…”
