Yuan Mao gulped. He no longer looked like a Great Dao Saint. His earlier arrogance was nowhere to be seen.
He knew he was not a match for these two.
Their performance during the competition for the Temple Leader's position was too strong. Their strength was almost on par with a Little Sovereign's.
Near the upper core of the Heaven Opening Temple, even breathing became difficult.
Yuan Mao looked at Yu Shangrong with a livid expression and said, "I'm impressed by your profound cultivation base, sir. However, this is an internal matter of the Soft Zhao Temple. It has nothing to do with you. If you don't want to cause a conflict between the ten temples, it's best if you don't interfere. "
As soon as he finished speaking …
Yu Shangrong's Longevity Sword that had just been sheathed on his back flew out with a whoosh.
Energy swords that were dozens of feet long appeared.
When Yuan Mao heard this sound, he felt a sense of mortal danger. His many years of battle experience allowed him to react instinctively; he retreated.
He pushed his palms forward with the astrolabe in front of him.
As expected.
The cultivators of the Soft Zhao Temple exclaimed in shock, "Temple Master!"
Just when the other Dao Saint was about to make a move, Yu Zhenghai said, "Anyone who dares to move will be killed without mercy!"
The others were as silent as cicadas in winter. They did not dare to make a sound.
The sound of the energy swords striking the astrolabe reverberated in the Soft Zhao Temple's upper core of the Heaven Opening Temple.
The others looked up at the same time to watch the duo's battle.
Under Yu Shangrong's endless attacks, even Yuan Mao's astrolabe could not withstand the powerful force and caved in.
Yuan Mao's eyes widened, and his heart raced.
Just when he was hesitating if he should put his astrolabe away, Yu Shangrong's voice rang in the air, "Isn't it too late to put your astrolabe away now?"
'Hm?'
Yuan Mao looked closely and saw a circle of golden leaves at the tip of Yu Shangrong's Longevity Sword. Those were the golden leaves of a Golden Lotus. There were 17 golden leaves in total.
"17 leaves?!"
Swoosh!
With the support of the lotus leaves, the Longevity Sword pierced through his astrolabe. The power of the sword's piercing force was comparable to the power of shattering the void.
All the laws became meaningless under the support of the seventeen golden leaves. They were unable to stop the power that pierced through the void.
Immediately after, a halo as large as the canopy of the sky reverberated in the sky — a storm of vitality was unleashed.
"Ah —" Yuan Li screamed.
This meant that he had lost a Fate Matrix.
His intense desire to live caused him to lose all reason, and he roared, "I'll kill you!!"
Taking advantage of the moment when the Primal Qi storm was released, he forcefully endured the reverse flow of Primal Qi in his eight extraordinary meridians and the excruciating pain and lunged forward madly. The entire sky was filled with Stellar Energy.
"Snowy Mountain!" Yu Shangrong swung his sword.
"Traceless Sword Will!"
Yu Shangrong swung his sword again. The speed at which he swung his sword could no longer be seen. The others could only see the energy swords forming a golden sphere around him.
"Primal Restoration!"
He closed his eyes.
The energy swords in the skies converged instantly. Yu Shangrong's sword pierced through Yuan Mao's protective energy with a loud ripping sound.
Puh!
Yuan Mao spat out a mouthful of blood. At the same time, a gaping hole appeared on his chest.
Blood gushed out.
Yuan Mao's eyes bulged, filled with indignation.
Yu Shangrong's back was facing him as he raised his sword to the right.
The energy swords had faded away. The sunlight shone on the blade, making it sparkle. The Primal Qi storm continued to rage for some time before it finally stopped.
There was no longer any need to continue fighting.
Yuan Mao was grievously injured. The remaining fatal wounds would continue to devour his Fate Matrix until he died.
Blood rained down. The cultivators of Rou Zhao were horrified when they saw this. They retreated.
They were afraid.
If Yuan Mao was not a match for Yu Shangrong, how could the others be?
Just when everyone thought Yu Shangrong's attack was over, he spread his right hand.
"Sheath."
The Longevity Sword returned to its scabbard.
At the same time, 17 golden leaves appeared around Yuan Mao. They slashed at Yuan Mao's vitals at the same time. Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
They flew toward Yu Shangrong and merged together before they returned to the golden hoop and vanished.
Yuan Mao plummeted from the sky.
"…"
The cultivators of Rou Zhao were dumbfounded. They were so frightened that they did not dare to move.
They were afraid that Yu Zhenghai would kill them if he felt the urge to.
"Spare us!" One of the Dao Saints fell to his knees and begged without hesitation.
The others fell to their knees and begged for mercy.
Yu Zhenghai glanced at them but did not pay them any heed.
With a flash, Yu Shangrong returned to the others.
At this moment, Ye Tianxin bowed at the two of them and said, "Thank you, senior brothers! If it weren't for you, I'd be in deep trouble. "
Yu Shangrong smiled faintly and said, "There's no need to be so courteous, junior sister. Seventh Junior Brother asked us to help you."
"Seventh Junior Brother?" Ye Tianxin was puzzled. She added, "Seventh Junior Brother?"
"Yes."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure."
Ye Tianxin was overjoyed. She said, "I've always thought it was him. I didn't expect it to be true. Where's he now? "
"He's recuperating in the Evil Sky Pavilion. He'll be back soon," Yu Shangrong said.
Ye Tianxin nodded. She looked at Yuan Mao who had fallen to the ground and said, "Did you go too far?"
Yu Zhenghai said, "We can't be merciful at a time like this. Seventh Junior Brother said this person must die."
"There's no reason?"
"Seventh Junior Brother's words are the reason," Yu Zhenghai said.
"…"
Ye Tianxin muttered to herself. Her Eldest Senior Brother was acting strangely.
However, since Yuan Mao was already dead, there was no need for her to say anything.
Yu Zhenghai said, "Let's enter the Heaven Opening."
"Mhm." Ye Tianxin nodded.
Ye Tianxin bowed at the two of them and flew toward the upper core's passageway.
Yu Zhenghai looked at the others and said, "I'll kill anyone who dares to move."
The others trembled and remained motionless.
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong stood side by side as they looked at Ye Tianxin's retreating back.
…
When Ye Tianxin entered the Heaven Opening's core, the surroundings darkened. The passageway behind her seemed to have closed.
Her surroundings were pitch-black.
Ye Tianxin looked around her. She felt the thick aura of the Great Void in the air. It was thicker than ever before. There was also a faint fragrance.
This place was filled with life.
However, there was no sunlight.
Just when she was at a loss for what to do next, a large number of meteors appeared in the dark sky.
The sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains, and the rivers.
It was like a vast galaxy with no end in sight.
…
Meanwhile.
The unknown lands. Without the earth's power to repair it, the Heaven Opening Pillar cracked. Rumble!
In the unknown region of Xie Qu, the tremors of the collapse of the Pillars of Heavenly Revelation could be felt within a hundred miles, a thousand miles, ten thousand miles.
Rumble!
The heavens fell and the earth cracked.
The beasts and plants near the Heaven Opening Pillar were instantly engulfed by the indescribable force of the collapse.
Rocks shot into the air, and the earth shook.
Countless mountains were razed to the ground. Countless ancient trees were buried underground. Countless rivers were filled up in just a blink of an eye.
Rumble!
The huge commotion caused the people in the Great Void to panic.
100,000 years had passed. No matter how old the cultivators were, this was their first time experiencing something like this. Nobody knew what would happen after the Heaven Opening Pillar collapsed.
Perhaps, the entire human civilization would be destroyed.
Perhaps, heaven and earth would cease to exist.
Above the holy temple.
Emperor Darkheart appeared in the sky with his hands on his back.
His expression was calm and collected. There was no hint of worry on his face.
He looked at the Scales of Fairness before him. As the earth shook, it made a faint sound. He sighed. "It's been 100,000 years. I've tried my best. I hope that the next era will grant humans a new life. "
In the Great Void.
The ten palaces sent out many cultivators toward the unknown lands.
In the unknown lands, the beasts and sages of the Great Void began to move.
The beasts no longer abided by the so-called balanced rules. They began to attack the humans.
In the unknown lands, there was a rain of blood.
The Nine Lotus Realm was connected to the unknown lands. It was narrow and far away. It was safer.
Nine Peaks Mountain.
Countless ferocious beasts left the Great Void in search of survival.
…
The Upper Core of the Heaven Opening Pillar.
A beam of light shot into the sky.
As the earth shook, the entire Upper Core of the Heaven Opening Pillar cracked.
Crack!
The cracks that resembled a spider's web shocked everyone.
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong exchanged a glance.
"The Upper Core of the Heaven Opening Pillar has ended," Yu Zhenghai said.
"The Heaven Opening Pillar has collapsed."
"Junior Sister, it should be a success," Yu Zhenghai said.
The two of them nodded.
At that moment, a temple guard appeared nearby and said loudly, "The Emperor has ordered that anyone who tries to stop Ye Tianxin from comprehending the Dao will be severely punished!"
Yu Shangrong looked at him and said, "Thank you for your kindness. Everything went smoothly."
The Templar glanced at the cracked upper core and the light beam that shot into the sky. He cupped his hands and said, "That's good. I'll go back and report."
"Go ahead."
The Templar's shadow disappeared in a flash.
The beam of light from the Upper Heaven Opening Nucleus dissipated in the sky and retracted.
Boom!
The Upper Nucleus of the Heavenly Opening Era was torn apart.
The rubble that filled the sky shot out in all directions.
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong swiftly brandished their energy sabers and swords to deflect the rocks.
Many cultivators in Rou Zhao were instantly sent flying. Some died, some were injured.
Only a few experts were barely able to block the flying rocks.
Rou Zhao's flying chariot was crushed by the boulder in just a blink of an eye!
After the rubble was gone …
They saw Ye Tianxin hovering in the air with her arms spread out. She was dressed in white and was surrounded by specks of starlight. She looked otherworldly.
There was a faint aura around her and a peculiar power.
Her aura and cultivation base had undergone earth-shattering changes.
The Great Void Seed in her dantian's sea of Qi shone with a rich green radiance.
"It's done."
