The plan to summon the Great Sun was nipped in the bud. Yu Xuanliang, possessing the Sun-Moon Divine Fish and extraordinary Divine Ability, had just resolved the crisis of the solar riot and quietly descended behind Song Qianqiu.
With a swift motion, Yu Xuanliang's hand closed around Song Qianqiu's neck, leaving a gaping wound from which blood gushed forth. Song Qianqiu stared wide-eyed at Yu Xuanliang, who smiled and said, "I am the god who governs the order of the mortal realm."
In an instant, Song Qianqiu's expression turned frenzied as he witnessed his neck wound healing at a visible rate. A surge of blood energy enveloped him. Yu Xuanliang frowned and asked, "An Immortal body?"
Li Fugui possessed an automatic healing Immortal body due to his modified physique. During the Dark Turmoil Period, there was a master known as the Immortal Flying Fairy, who had the Yin Yang Order within him. Once injured, he could recover instantly. Yu Xuanliang had cultivated and transplanted this person's cells into Li Fugui, granting him that ability. However, Song Qianqiu was different; he had learned the Blood Demon Technique from Zhang Xing, allowing him to recover from even severe injuries using blood energy. Moreover, Yu Xuanliang's attack was merely a physical one.
Song Qianqiu launched a punch at Yu Xuanliang. Instead of dodging, Yu Xuanliang lightly tapped Song Qianqiu's fist with a finger, sending him flying. Shocked, Song Qianqiu felt the Five Elements converging towards Yu Xuanliang, completely under his control.
Yu Xuanliang had consumed the Elixir of Life, unlocking the treasures of the human body and granting him certain extraordinary abilities or Divine Ability without needing to utilize Dao Qi. Afterward, he acquired the Sun-Moon Divine Fish, achieving a divine body.
Song Qianqiu could hardly believe that he was knocked off a cliff by someone who appeared to lack Dao Qi. He stepped into the void and ascended back up, glaring fiercely at Yu Xuanliang. "Since you are the god who governs mortal order, then I shall be the one to slay gods!"
As he spoke, a fierce light radiated from him, enveloping everything around.
"Mr. Yu!" I shouted loudly to warn him.
Although Yu Xuanliang possessed a divine body, he did not have the acute senses typical of Taoists; his perception of danger was not particularly strong. The moment Song Qianqiu unleashed the Great Wilderness Scripture, I sensed something was amiss and called out a warning. However, the expansion of the Time Barrier occurred far faster than I anticipated, almost instantaneously covering Mount Tai Fengshan Platform from afar—unbelievably swift.
Clearly, it was more ferocious and rapid than when I had seen Song Qianqiu attack Taihe Zhenren in Zhou Compass and Light Shadow.
In an instant, everyone was enveloped within it and frozen in place; even Yu Xuanliang was caught in its grasp. Despite being divine, he could not control time itself; clouds remained still around them while mountain winds ceased to blow.
"Die!" Song Qianqiu thrust his folding fan sharply toward Yu Xuanliang's heart.
I cast Time Walk and appeared in front of Yu Xuanliang. With one hand, I grabbed Song Qianqiu's folding fan and struck him back with a palm.
“How can you be unaffected by the Great Wilderness Scripture?” Song Qianqiu exclaimed in shock.
On both mountain peaks, everyone, regardless of their cultivation level, was enveloped in the Time Barrier. I didn't know why, but although time felt frozen and my movements were somewhat slowed, I wasn't completely immobilized.
“Could it be the Book of Life and Death?” Song Qianqiu pondered. “Impossible!”
Song Qianqiu roared and launched a punch at me. I responded with a punch of my own, using Rift Path to strike back at him. His fist was shrouded in blood light, and suddenly a Void Barrier appeared before his fist. My Rift Path pierced through the Void Barrier, sending Song Qianqiu flying. Blood streamed from his fist as he was knocked back, but he quickly pushed off the ground and soared toward the Mount Tai Fengshan Platform.
“Oh no!” I thought to myself; Song Qianqiu aimed to kill everyone at the Altar of Sacrifice.
I pushed Yu Xuanliang out of the Time Barrier, then stepped forward to block the path to the Altar of Sacrifice. Song Qianqiu formed a sword with his two fingers, water-like ripples shimmering at his fingertips, resembling droplets from a Cold Pool.
With a thud, a beam of void sword light shot out. I had no choice but to meet it with my palm to disperse the sword light; otherwise, it would have slaughtered the defenseless people behind me.
The moment I dispersed the void sword light, a black spear shot through my back and pinned itself before me.
Outside the Time Barrier, Miao Guanyin stood in mid-air, gazing at me within the barrier.
My chest was pierced, and black gas emanated from the wound due to the corrosion from the Black Spear. At that moment, my internal injuries triggered the power of the Book of Life and Death, causing black inscriptions to appear on my skin.
One by one, black characters crawled out from my body’s Meridians, like ants emerging from their nest.
“Hm?” Song Qianqiu looked at my transformation with a puzzled expression.
"Die!" I threw a punch, the wind carrying the inscription of the Book of Life and Death, striking Song Qianqiu through the void.
Song Qianqiu gathered both hands, summoning the Void Barrier in front of him. In an instant, the Void Barrier shattered, and Song Qianqiu was sent flying, multiple meridians in his body ruptured. Blood streamed from his seven orifices.
"Kill him!" Song Qianqiu shouted.
Outside the Time Barrier, Miao Guanyin heard the command and gathered her hands, conjuring an illusion of the Fury Realm. At that moment, Yu Xuanliang, positioned outside the Time Barrier, looked at Miao Guanyin. She was suddenly pulled down by a tremendous force towards the mountainside, which collapsed and buried her.
Miao Guanyin burst forth from the rubble of the collapsed mountain. It was then that the White-Robed Old Scholar also made his move against me. The Transcendent Hand reached for the high clouds, condensing into a massive cloud sword that slashed down towards me within the Time Barrier.
If that sword struck down, not only would I perish, but everyone on the mountain would be doomed!
Yu Xuanliang flew to the front of the barrier, bracing himself against the descending cloud sword. With a thunderous crash, blood spilled from his mouth as he looked down at the trembling mountain peak. The peak rose up from the ground, reaching towards the White-Robed Old Scholar above.
The cloud sword emitted a powerful sword aura that cleaved through the Altar of Sacrifice mountain range. A sharp blade of energy sliced across Wu's shoulder; he felt nothing as his wound remained bloodless.
Meanwhile, Yu Xuanliang in mid-air was clearly running out of strength. Though he was a deity, he did not possess infinite divine power; there were limits to his endurance. Faced with the Supreme being, he struggled as Miao Guanyin continued her assault to eliminate me.
I summoned my Evil Weapon. It trembled as if sensing a power that excited it, continuously drawing in the energy emanating from my Book of Life and Death.
Song Qianqiu declared, "The Evil Weapon should not belong to this world! You attempt to control it while wielding the Book of Life and Death? I will not let you escape! With this strike, let’s see how you survive!"
Just then, Song Qianqiu suddenly furrowed his brow and looked into the distance. The void trembled as a blade of energy sliced through from afar, cleaving through nine layers and targeting none other than the White-Robed Old Scholar.
By the time the White-Robed Old Scholar noticed, it was too late; his right hand was severed and fell into the abyss below as the cloud sword dissipated immediately.
The White-Robed Old Scholar turned to face the black-clad woman who had arrived, her expression cold and resolute. The aura of heroism radiated from her brows; she was none other than the long-missing first wonder of the world, Rain Master Luo.
"Supreme?" Rain Master Luo asked, gripping her wooden sword. She glanced at the injured White-Robed Old Scholar, who had fallen from a cliff, and at Miao Guanyin, who was about to strike. With a swift motion, she unleashed another sword strike, the Sword Momentum slicing through the air toward Miao Guanyin. Miao Guanyin had no choice but to dodge aside, forcing the Fury Realm to come to an abrupt halt.
"How are you?" Rain Master Luo asked as she noticed my injuries, my body shrouded in dark energy. She flew toward me immediately.
"Don't come closer, Xin Song Qianqiu; he possesses the Great Wilderness Scripture and can manipulate time," I said painfully.
Rain Master Luo's expression remained impassive as she looked at Song Qianqiu. "You truly are Wolfish Ambition."
Song Qianqiu chuckled softly. "Senior Sister Yu, it's been a while. Qianqiu has been somewhat concerned about you. I can spare your beloved's life, but everyone else must die. Among them are two stunning beauties who happen to be Yang Hao's lovers; you won't stop me, will you?"
Rain Master Luo narrowed her eyes, her black-clad wooden sword appearing somewhat solitary. With a single stroke, she struck out, and Song Qianqiu's expression turned to one of horror as the One Sword Technique pierced through the Time Barrier and aimed for him. A rift in time opened up before Song Qianqiu, and a Void Barrier appeared in front of him. The One Sword Technique pierced through the Void Barrier as well, landing a blow on Song Qianqiu.
Song Qianqiu stared in shock at his chest, where a shallow sword mark had appeared, blood oozing from the wound.
He dipped his finger into the blood flowing from his injury and tasted it with his tongue before bursting into maniacal laughter.
Years ago on Mount Hua, the One Sword Technique had caused an uproar and terrified many. It was said that Yang Long, hailed as The Most Talented of All Time, was reduced to pulp by a single strike, his body obliterated. This left the younger generation of powerful beings with no thoughts of ever matching Rain Master Luo. The title of the first wonder of the world spread like wildfire; people of all ages within the Daoist Sect revered her as Goddess.
Dark Turmoil wielded the One Sword Technique with such prowess that even Supremes fled in fear, unwilling to emerge from their seclusion. Silence reigned across the land; no one dared oppose her—her One Sword Technique was akin to a death decree from Yama himself.
Now Rain Master Luo unleashed her One Sword Technique against Song Qianqiu through both the Time Barrier and Void Barrier, yet it only grazed his surface. This left Song Qianqiu in disbelief and astonishment.
Rain Master Luo also wore a puzzled expression; her One Sword Technique had always been invincible and lethal. Now at the pinnacle of Mahayana Realm, with Sword Momentum unmatched and at its peak, even Supremes would suffer defeat against her. Yet this time, the once-feared One Sword Technique had failed to kill Song Qianqiu?
The Time Barrier can infinitely slow down time, while the One Sword Technique, no matter how fast or fierce, still requires a certain amount of time. Therefore, there is simply no way to kill the caster trapped within the Time Barrier.
Song Qianqiu said, "With so many people present today, I will let you strike this sword first. We will meet again soon, Senior Sister Yu."
After Song Qianqiu finished speaking, he retracted the Great Wilderness Scripture and summoned Miao Guanyin and the White-Robed Old Scholar to his side. The three of them tore through the void and disappeared into it.
The crowd awoke, looking at the scene of devastation with shock on their faces. Taihe Zhenren said, "Did we all just get trapped in the Time Barrier?"
I withdrew the inscriptions from the Book of Life and Death and retracted the Evil Weapon, coughing up blood as I collapsed to the ground.
"Yang Hao!" The crowd gathered around me. Guo Daozhen transmitted his Dao Qi into my Meridians to calm the chaotic Dao Qi within me. He said, "My Dao Qi is insufficient to heal Yang Hao's injuries."
"I'll do it," Zhou Manman said. Now that her Renewal of Withered Trees had also reached a high level, only her Dao Qi could delay my injuries.
Rain Master Luo landed beside everyone and looked at me lying injured on the ground. Yu Xuanliang also descended from the sky and remarked to Rain Master Luo, "The first extraordinary woman of the Daoist Sect truly lives up to her reputation. It seems Song Qianqiu is quite wary of Miss Yu."
Rain Master Luo replied, "What exactly is going on? There are Yin Soldiers and some who can still move even after death all over these mountains."
"Senior Sister Yu, those are Corpse Demons. A lot has happened during your more than a year of absence," Dongfang Yuqing explained.
"It's too hot here; let's return to Jiangnan Courtyard to treat Yang Hao's injuries first," Yunxi suggested.
Everyone nodded, helping me up as we hurried toward Jiangnan Courtyard.
"Oh no, what about the Sun Refining Cauldron?" Guo Huaiyi suddenly asked.
"Guo Daozhen said, 'It was transferred to the void by Song Qianqiu and should have been taken away. However, it doesn't matter. The Soul of the Golden Crow in the Sun Refining Cauldron has already been absorbed into the Blood River Map, so the Sun Refining Technique no longer exists. What Song Qianqiu obtained from the Sun Refining Cauldron is just an empty shell and won't be of much use.'
Rain Master Luo watched as everyone departed. She turned to leave, but someone grabbed her hand.
Turning back, she saw it was Monk Dou Ding, whom she had met a long time ago. Dou Ding smiled at Rain Master Luo and said, 'Sister, come back with us. Once, when my brother was dreaming, he even called your name.'
Rain Master Luo's eyes softened as she asked, 'You know my name?'
'Of course I do,' Dou Ding replied. 'It's Rain Master Luo. But that name sounds a bit awkward. Yushi Luo seems downcast; I feel like something's bothering her. I saw it just now when my senior sister made her move; even a wooden sword could injure the Supreme.'
'You can see what's happening outside while in the Time Barrier?' Rain Master Luo inquired.
'Of course! My physical body may be weak, but my soul is that of a Zen Bodhisattva. The holder of the Great Wilderness Scripture was killed by my soul's first generation of Zen Buddhism. No one can restrain my soul; it's just that I'm still too young, and the Zen Bodhisattva doesn't listen to me. I want to help but feel powerless,' Dou Ding explained."
