The aura emitted by the spear shot towards Shui Yunlan was simply too frightening. This could be said to be the strongest attack Absolute Heaven had unleashed up until now. Although the spear was clearly flying towards Shui Yunlan, everyone felt as if the spear was aimed at their throats. A deep sense of fear rapidly expanded within their continuously contracting pupils … They did not doubt that even Shui Yunlan, who possessed the power of a Deity, would definitely die if he were to be struck by this spear. Shui Yunlan was in midair, and he maintained the momentum of charging forward without holding anything back. How could he possibly dodge such a terrifyingly fast attack …
Everyone's gazes were no longer locked onto Jue Tian. Instead, they could only stare blankly at the long spear surrounded by a purple glow flying towards Shui Yunlan. Without any suspense, the tip of the spear pierced into Shui Yunlan's chest … At the same time, both of Shui XuanFeng's and Shui ManShan's fists were grabbed by Jue Tian's hands. Following a disdainful snort from Jue Tian, the sound of bones shattering rang out from between his hands. Shui XuanFeng and Shui ManShan's hands had already been broken by Jue Tian, as if he was crushing rotten wood. Just as Jue Tian was about to destroy their arms and fling them away, a dangerous aura suddenly approached him at an extremely fast speed. Jue Tian fiercely turned his head around, and the spinning tip of the spear had already enlarged in his eyes. After that, the spear pierced right into his chest.
Receiving the sudden attack, Jue Tian loosened his grip on Shui Xuanfeng and Shui ManShan, and spat out a mouthful of blood. His sturdy body was like a withered leaf that was blown away by a gale. Right at this moment, a deafening shout rang out, "Get into formation!"
The stunned Nanhuangzong members felt as though they had just woken up from a dream. The power of the Water Jade surged forth, and Jue Tian's body, which was flying backwards, maintained a slanted posture as he was firmly sealed within the Water Jade Chaotic Ring Formation. He had just received an injury, and he had yet to recover his strength. After being sealed, he would not be able to move for a short period of time. In that fleeting moment, an icy-blue board that looked like a thin piece of ice appeared in Shui Yunlan's hand. He expressionlessly raised this piece of ice. An icy blue light flashed past his calm and determined eyes. The piece of ice in his hand also suddenly released a brilliance that covered the sky at this moment.
In an instant, the world suddenly changed color. The burst of blue light filled the entire world the moment it shone, covering all other colors. The ground was dyed blue, the sky was dyed blue, and every figure in sight was perfectly concealed. One could only vaguely catch a glimpse of an almost undetectable blue silhouette in the blue world.
The source of this blue light was a beam of energy that shot into the sky from the ice board. That beam of energy tore through the air and accurately struck Jue Tian, who had temporarily lost the ability to move. A mournful cry resounded clearly in everyone's ears, causing them to nearly faint.
In every corner of the entire Tianchen Continent, a beam of ice-blue light shot into the sky from the southwest of Tenryū Province. It shot straight into the sky, but it did not immediately disappear. Instead, it continued to shine like that. That beam of blue light connected the heavens and the earth, just like that. On the faces of all the experts on the continent, there was not a single one that did not reveal an extremely shocked expression.
"It's the Water Jade Art. Nanhuangzong was actually forced to use the Water Jade God Killing Shield. " Yan Duanhun stood on the roof, staring at the slanted blue line in the distance, his brows tightly locked together. How could he not recognize Nanhuangzong's Water Jade Art, and similarly, he also knew of Nanhuangzong's Water Jade God Killing Shield. The two sects had fought for millions of years. Although it was difficult for a victor to emerge, they had more or less figured out each other's tricks and trump cards. This was also one of the reasons why no matter how they fought, they did not dare to touch each other's bottom line.
"It looks like Nanhuangzong encountered some terrifying enemy. Could it be the Evil Sect? "Yan Tian, who was beside him, said proudly, his face also filled with shock.
"The Evil Sect? Hmph … If Nanhuangzong wanted to annihilate the entire Evil Sect without losing a single soldier, then it is indeed possible. However, I don't think that the Evil Emperor would be irrational enough to provoke Nanhuangzong on his own initiative. From what I see, the Evil Emperor would prefer to ambush … Wait! " Yan Duanhun's tone suddenly changed, his calm face revealing disbelief and shock. His voice, actually faintly trembled, "No … this is undoubtedly the power of the Water Jade God Killing Shield. However, the way it is released, it is actually released in a straight line towards the sky … In other words, the reason why Nanhuangzong used the Water Jade God Killing Shield was only to attack one person!"
Yan Tian 'ao's eyes abruptly widened. The two of them looked at each other, then turned their heads at the same time, blankly staring at the beam of blue light that had already begun to slowly fade. The shock in their hearts was like a sudden wave, unable to calm down for a long time.
One person … Just what kind of person could actually force Nanhuangzong to such a state with just his own strength!

The blue light dimmed, and the surrounding world finally began to regain its original color. The Water Jade God Killing Shield in Shui Yunlan's hands also lost its light, and became as dim as an opaque stone slab. It fell from Shui Yunlan's raised hand onto the ground, and laid side by side with a mirror that was covered in cracks.
That mirror was called the Water Jade Reincarnation Mirror, and was one of Nanhuangzong's most valuable treasures. Shui Yunlan had placed this mirror on his chest, and clenched his teeth as he directly faced Absolute Heaven's attack, and then perfectly reflected it back … However, Absolute Heaven's abilities were too strong after all. This sect's most valuable treasure, which Nanhuangzong had not used for a long time, was actually moderately damaged just like that. If he wanted to repair it, who knew how many years of Water Jade energy would be needed.
The Water Jade energy released by the Water Jade God Killing Shield would not cause any direct harm to people who possessed Water Jade Arts. Thus, when the Water Jade God Killing Shield released its astonishing power, they did not feel anything strange. At this moment, when they opened their eyes to look at their surroundings, they were shocked to discover … that their surroundings were actually completely bare. Other than the people standing on the ground, as far as their eyes could see, they could not see anything protruding out of the ground.
Although the power that could destroy the heavens and exterminate the earth was pointed towards the blue dome of heaven, the aftermath of the energy had still completely destroyed everything in the surroundings.
The Water Jade energy dimmed, and dissipated. The blue light in the sky also slowly dissipated. Raising their heads to look, it was completely empty, and even the clouds could not be seen anymore. It was as if everything had been destroyed by the power just now. That Absolute Heaven, who caused them to be terrified, had already disappeared from the sky, and his divine aura could no longer be felt.
The people of Nanhuangzong all let out a long sigh of relief, and their faces revealed the joy of being reborn after the calamity. Most of them sat paralyzed on the ground, and panted heavily. It was not that they were exhausted, but rather that they had lingered on the edge of life and death for a long time, and their tensed nerves could finally be put down, as if they had been relieved of a heavy burden. More than half of the Southern Emperor's Manor had already been destroyed, but the entire Nanhuangzong was still safe from the hands of this terrifying enemy. If the Manor was destroyed, it could be rebuilt. As long as they were still alive, Nanhuangzong would definitely not be destroyed.
After the brief excitement of being reborn after the calamity, they could not help but sigh in their hearts as they looked at the desolate surroundings. Was it a calamity? Yes, without a doubt, this was a great calamity for Nanhuangzong, a calamity that had almost caused them to be annihilated. However, the cause of this calamity was something that they could not bear. The one who had brought them such a great calamity was not their enemy, but a god that they had just met for the first time, a god that was extremely likely to have come from the Godly Mainland. The most direct cause of this calamity was an undeniable misunderstanding. Princess Hei Teng, not a single one of them had heard of this name before. They did not know who she was, and even more so, they did not know who their Nanhuangzong was representing today, and which power had suffered this calamity.
"Sect Master, are you alright?" Shui Xuanfeng walked in front of Shui Yunlan with unsteady steps, and asked worriedly. His left arm was hanging down, and it was obvious that he could no longer exert any strength. Furthermore, the fingers of his right hand, which was covering his left arm, were also bleeding profusely. Traces of running blue light revolved around his body, quickly healing his external injuries.
"I'm fine." Shui Yunlan shook his head, and looked at the place where Jue Tian was previously. It was unknown whether his expression was calm or sorrowful. He muttered, "This year, should have been a year of great success, but who would have thought that there would be one accident after another and a great calamity … First, it was the appearance of the Evil Sect, followed by the calamity of the Daughter of Tian Fa, and now, it was almost a calamity …" He let out a long sigh, and muttered absentmindedly, "The appearance of the Star Slashing Sword, the appearance of the Bow of Calamity, also means that the rumors of our sect's ancestors were not false … The ancestral teachings also said: Those who submit will be protected by the heavens, and those who defy will be punished by the heavens … Are we really wrong?"
Hearing that, Shui Xuanfeng shook his head heavily, and said with a stern expression, "Sect Master, you must not have such thoughts. Since fate has determined that our Nanhuangzong will have to face this calamity, then no matter how we try to hide, we will not be able to avoid it. What I, Nanhuangzong, have done today is what everyone expects, so there is nothing wrong with it. Besides … "Shui Xuanfeng lowered his voice, and said in a low voice," Do we still have a way out? "
Shui Yunlan, "…"
Shui Xuanfeng picked up the Water Jade God Slaying Shield and the broken Water Jade Reincarnation Mirror that had lost all of its energy, and said, "This shield has the name 'Slaying God', and it truly lives up to its name. Sect Master, this is a true god, but didn't he still die in the hands of our Nanhuangzong? God's punishment? Let's not talk about whether these words are true, even if it really is a god's punishment, what is there to be afraid of? "
"Xuanfeng is right." Shui ManShan walked over from the other side, and his body was also riddled with injuries. He said, "Sect Master, you must not have such thoughts. Our sect has suffered such a calamity, and our manor has been completely destroyed. Ah … isn't this also a sign that a new Nanhuangzong is about to be born, and our plans have just begun to succeed? No, this is actually an auspicious sign. "
Drip.
Drip.
Two drops of ice-cold liquid fell from the sky, and landed on Shui ManShan's face. Shui ManShan casually wiped it away, and when he looked at it, he saw a smear of blood on his finger. He suddenly raised his head, and his eyes shrunk to the size of a pinhole.
Pu!
The purple spear shot down from the sky, piercing through Shui ManShan's head, thrusting out from his crotch, and piercing straight through his body. Just like that, he was pinned to the ground.
The sudden change in events tugged at everyone's heartstrings, and what caused them the most fear was not Shui ManShan's death, but the nightmarish purple spear. A heavy pressure and suffocating feeling filled every single one of their chests, and a shadow covered their hearts. Slowly, they raised their heads with all their courage, and looked at the sky above Shui ManShan.
Drip … drip …
The same blood as a human's continued to drip down at an even rhythm, and in this terrifyingly silent world, there was only this clear dripping sound.
Absolute Heaven!
