The black-robed young woman felt that the scenery in front of her had suddenly changed, and she was already in a strange world.
Below her was a river that flowed endlessly, and around her were mountains of different distances. There were three huge fireballs floating high up in the sky, like three small suns, emitting bursts of dazzling white light.
However, there was no other color apart from black and white, and it seemed quite bleak.
The black-robed young woman's expression changed, and she looked around. She quickly calmed down, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"You want to use a magic treasure to trap me? Wishful thinking!"
At this moment, her arms had already returned to their original state, and green light flashed in her hand. An ancient-looking bronze scythe appeared in her hand, and she slashed it through the air, and a misty blade light shot out.
A loud noise resounded through the world!
The surrounding rivers and mountains all shook violently, and a huge spatial rift was immediately torn open in the void.
The black-robed young woman's figure moved, and she directly escaped into the spatial rift, leaving behind a series of afterimages.
However, at this moment, a black light shot out of nowhere, and struck the spatial rift. An invisible wave of air surged out of the rift, and the black-robed young woman's body slightly paused.
At the same time, there was a burst of dazzling white light in the surrounding void, constantly converging toward the spatial rift, causing the spatial rift to tremble for a moment, and then to close up again.
Then, two figures flashed, a white-robed old man with white hair and a youthful face, and a black-robed old man in linen clothes, quietly stood in front of the black-robed young woman on either side.
Although the aura that the two of them exuded was slightly inferior to that of the black-robed young woman, it was clear that they had also reached the Ethereal Enlightenment stage.
Almost at the same time, there was a flash of grey light behind the black-robed young woman, and Old Ancestor Xuan Yu suddenly appeared behind her. The three of them immediately surrounded the black-robed young woman.
The black-robed young woman's expression finally completely sank.
… …
In the valley of Dusk Peak, it could be said to be a scene of desolation. There were rubble and debris everywhere, and broken bodies of stemborers were scattered all over the place.
The entire valley was quiet at this moment, and there was not the slightest sound coming out.
From the sudden appearance of Old Ancestor Xuan Yu to the black-robed young woman being sucked into the black vortex, it was only a short moment. The battle between the two Ethereal Enlightenment powerhouses was like a flash in the pan.
Not long after the black vortex disappeared, a pile of rubble at the edge of the valley suddenly exploded, and a figure wrapped in black gas flashed out of the scattered rubble. After a few leaps, he appeared near the spatial passage in the valley.
The black gas receded, revealing the figure of Liu Ming.
He looked in the direction of the space passage, and his eyes flashed. He raised his hand, and a simple and unadorned mirror appeared in his hand. It was the Turbid Heaven Mirror that Daoist Master Tian Ge had bestowed upon him.
Liu Ming quickly chanted a spell, and his hands turned into phantasms. Waves of symbols were launched on the Celestial Mirror.
In the sky, the Ethereal Heavens of the heavens of Of. Heaven, and earth, the Realm, and Heaved. World of Liu Realm of the heaved heaved. At the same time, a series of ripples appeared on the surface of the mirror, and a series of profound runes appeared.
Liu Ming took a deep breath before opening his mouth to expel a mouthful of blood essence onto the Realm of Heavens. A pillar of chaotic light shot forth from the surface of the mirror before disappearing into the spatial rift in a flash.
Just as Liu Ming was activating the treasure, another crater in the valley that had been filled with countless rubble abruptly exploded, and a crimson streak of light shot forth.
The crimson streak of light then transformed into a half-human, half-insect figure; it was none other than the Heavenly Elephant Stemborer that had been smashed into the ground by Xuan Yu.
At this moment, he was in quite a sorry state. Half of his body was drenched in blood, and there were many wounds all over his body that were still bleeding. The three crimson carapaces on his back had several cracks on them, but his aura was still very stable, seemingly unharmed.
The Heavenly Elephant Stemborer immediately let loose an enraged roar upon seeing Liu Ming's actions, and he pounced toward Liu Ming like a crimson cloud. Three giant crimson swords, each of which was over 1,000 feet in size, flashed out of the carapace on his back, crashing down toward Liu Ming's head.
Liu Ming's expression changed slightly, and he continued to cast a series of incantation seals into the Realm of Heavens, upon which an increasingly thick pillar of light erupted from the surface of the mirror. At the same time, yellow light flashed from his body, and twelve Beads of Mountains and Rivers appeared.
Yellow light erupted from the Beads of Mountains and Rivers, and the light from the twelve beads combined to form a massive mountain several hundred feet in size that stood in front of the three giant crimson swords.
Rumble!
An earth-shattering boom rang out within the valley, and three massive cracks appeared on the surface of the yellow mountain, extending from the summit all the way to the base of the mountain.
In the next instant, the three giant crimson swords shuddered violently before shattering.
The entire valley trembled violently. Circles of earthy yellow and blood-red intertwined and spread out in all directions.
The remaining stemborers in the valley were also hurtling toward Liu Ming, but their bodies shuddered as soon as they came into contact with the two-colored shockwaves, and they were instantly pulverized into mincemeat.
Expressions of fear appeared in the eyes of the other stemborers, and they didn't dare to advance any further.
Liu Ming heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing that the mountain manifested by the Beads of Mountains and Rivers hadn't shattered, and he abruptly bit the tip of his tongue to expel another mouthful of blood essence onto the Realm of Heavens.
Brilliant light erupted from the Realm of Heavens, and a massive ancient rune appeared on the surface of the mirror. The mirror blurred before flying into the spatial rift and disappearing without a trace.
The Heavenly Elephant Stemborer was greatly alarmed to see this, and he wanted to rush forward to stop it, but it was already too late.
In the next instant, a thunderous rumble erupted from within the black spatial passageway, and at the same time, it began to twist and warp. Grey cracks began to appear in all directions, and the black light that was flashing nonstop within the spatial rift quickly disappeared before being covered in a layer of grey light. The spatial rift then began to shrink at a rate that was discernible to the naked eye.
In the span of just two breaths, the spatial passageway that was originally two to three thousand feet in size had been reduced to a black disc of light that was fifty to sixty feet in size, and it was still rapidly shrinking.
"Good!"
Liu Ming heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
The Realm of Heavens Mirror that Enlightened Master Tian Ge had bestowed upon him was something similar to a talisman, and Liu Ming didn't need to do anything to activate it. As soon as it was activated, the sealing power within it would automatically erupt to seal the spatial passageway.
Now that the outcome was basically set, unless the clone of the Stemborer Queen arrived in person, there was no way the Stemborer Race could stop it.
However, before he had a chance to relax, crimson light flashed before his eyes, and a thin crimson streak of light bypassed the mountain manifested by the Beads of Mountains and Rivers before stabbing toward his chest from a tricky angle.
Clang!
With a soft sound, the Bitter Wheel Sword shot out from Liu Ming's body, transforming into a series of purple afterimages, and blocked the thin crimson streak of light by a hair's breadth. It turned out to be a thin crimson needle magic treasure.
However, the surface of the Bitter Wheel Sword was slightly dim, as if its spirituality had been greatly damaged.
Rumble!
Liu Ming had just blocked the sneak attack of the crimson needle, and before he had time to catch his breath, the space above his head seemed to have suddenly collapsed, and a giant crimson palm of several acres in size suddenly slammed down.
Before the giant palm had even landed, a giant crimson vortex of air had already descended from the palm, enveloping Liu Ming's body.
Behind the giant crimson palm, the blood-armored Stemborer Race stared at Liu Ming with fiery eyes. Behind him, a giant crimson projection rose up, looking like a strange creature with the body of an insect and the face of a human.
The sealing of the spatial tunnel was equivalent to cutting off their path of retreat and reinforcements. If they weren't careful, all of the Stemborers here would die. How could it not be furious at Liu Ming, the culprit behind all of this?
Liu Ming snorted, but he was not the slightest bit afraid. He waved his hand like lightning, and the giant mountain in front of him suddenly disintegrated, transforming back into the 12 Beads of Mountains and Rivers.
He waved his hand, and six of the beads shot out. With a flash of yellow light, the six yellow lights quickly transformed into a giant yellow fist, colliding with the giant crimson palm.
A series of explosions rang out in the air, like countless muffled thunder.
The giant crimson palm was shattered, but the giant fist formed by the Beads of Mountains and Rivers remained unscathed.
A hint of pride appeared on Liu Ming's face. With his current pure magic power and the Beads of Mountains and Rivers, he would not be at a disadvantage even if he were to face a Celestial Phenomenon powerful being head-on.
Just as the two of them were fighting, the spatial crack behind them had already disappeared, and what replaced it was a slender black crack.
Liu Ming glanced at it, and a thought flashed through his mind.
After all, this was the Dawnfall Peak, the center of the stemborer army. Now that his mission had been accomplished, he had no intention of continuing to fight with this Stemborer Race powerful being.
After making up his mind, he waved his hand and unleashed several incantation seals, withdrawing the giant fist formed by the Beads of Mountains and Rivers. The other six beads then released yellow clouds that enveloped his body, and he abruptly flew out of the valley.
"Don't even think about getting away!"
The blood-armored Stemborer Race stemborer roared with rage, and his body transformed into a crimson streak of light as he gave chase.
...
In the air above the eastern mountain range of the Dawnfall Peak, the battle between the Taiqing Gate disciples and the stemborer army had reached a climax.
With the addition of reinforcements, even though the stemborer army far outnumbered the Taiqing Gate disciples, the battle was slowly tilting in favor of the humans.
In terms of high-level Celestial Phenomenon cultivators, the humans and the stemborers were basically on par.
In terms of Jin Dan stage beings, the Stemborers actually had more than the Taiqing Gate cultivators. However, the Jin Dan Stemborers were basically using their own innate abilities, so they were clearly at a disadvantage when compared to the countless treasures of the Taiqing Gate elders and sect masters.
The other Taiqing Gate disciples also set up various spell formations. Even though they were unable to do much against the powerful defensive power of the Stemborers, they were still able to hold their ground.
In the midst of the battle, several dozen white-robed Taiqing Gate disciples stood in mid-air, forming a formation. At the forefront of the formation was a beautiful white-robed female cultivator, and she was none other than Long Yanfei.
