The other side of the sun.
The black obelisk floated in space in Silence.
The Dead Dog was still fighting against the rules of another universe.
Blood continuously gushed out from the black hair and landed on the surface of the monolith, turning into dew and scattering away.
The clash of the two enormous forces caused the space around the black monolith to warp a second time. Half of the battleship continued to disintegrate, but within the black monolith's area of influence, the speed was very slow.
The Snow Girl's line of sight passed through her canine teeth that were as sharp as ice peaks and saw the world inside the warship. Her mouth, which was covered with blood threads, let out a high-pitched shriek that could not be heard.
Accompanied by a soundless scream, countless chills spread out from her body and landed on the surface of the black monument.
The destruction of that part of the world began to accelerate.
Though she and the Dead Dog couldn't damage this black obelisk, the eye of the formation would be damaged if the battleship was destroyed.
There was a soft clap.
The Snow Girl's little hand finally left the surface of the tablet!
The Dead Dog barked a few times while biting Zhao Layue's body. He tried to fly up by exerting force on his four legs; but he fell back down after flying a few feet.
The Black Obelisk controlled this space and used it on the Snow Girl.
The way it worked was similar to the power of the Black Obelisk, and it was something the lifeforms in this universe couldn't understand.
The Dead Dog could leave by himself, but he couldn't bring the Snow Girl with him.
Ta ta ta ta ta!
It was not a real sound, but a sensation caused by the paw of the Dead Dog when it landed on the surface of the black monument.
Since he couldn't fly, he could only run.
The Dead Dog seemed to turn into a flash of black lightning, traveling at a high speed on the surface of the black monument.
With its speed, it had probably run thousands of kilometers, but it still hadn't reached the outside of the black monument.
That black obelisk was truly magical.
It wasn't surprised. Its eyes were still calm, but it didn't slow down. Instead, it sped up.
As long as it was fast enough, the bicycle could keep moving forward without falling to the ground.
As long as he ran fast enough, the shadow would not be able to catch up to him and drag him into the darkness.
As long as she ran fast enough, the Snow Girl would be fine.
Thinking of all this, the Dead Dog kept on running. He ran faster and faster, his blood splashing everywhere. He looked like a mountain guard dog that had been wounded in a fierce fight and was running on the boundless black field. His ferocious and ferocious appearance was nothing like what he had been tens of thousands of years ago.
…
…
In the deepest part of the deepest canyon on Mars, not much light could be seen in the universe. The sword intent of the Solar System Sword Formation that had descended here was also lesser.
Amidst the gloomy cliffs, there was a pure-white cloud, within which a boat could be vaguely seen.
The surface of the boat was covered with marks left behind by the sword intent. Even the threads in the clouds had been cut by the sword intent.
He Xiangu wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and blew out the burning flame on her sleeve. She said weakly, "Go to the top of the mountain. It seems that we can still hold on for a while."
She had been severely injured by Peng Lang. Although she had consumed the spiritual medicine that Yushan had given her, her injuries had not fully recovered. In the process of being forced to the bottom of the canyon by the Solar System Sword Array, her injuries had worsened.
Master Yun's condition was slightly better, but he still did not have the ability to bring her back to the peak.
Listening to her words, he thought for a moment and said, "I want to be with you."
This sentence can be understood as a romantic remark, or it can be understood as a simple statement.
Regardless of which one it was, as long as it came from an honest person like Yun shi, it would be extremely touching.
He Xiangu did not pay attention to him. She took out an exquisite spinning machine and began to weave silk from the clouds outside the boat.
It did not take long for her to weave a piece of cloth. It looked rather sturdy.
Master Yun asked, "Is this a sail?"
He thought that if his boat was fitted with her sail, regardless of whether he could escape or not, it would be an excellent thing.
He Xiangu snorted coldly and said, "Of course not."
Master Yun made an "oh" sound. He was not disappointed, just a little regretful.
Seeing his appearance, He Xiangu could not help but sigh and said, "This is a canopy."
The canopy of the black awning boat.
Master Yun was startled for a moment before he understood. Not knowing what to say, he could only laugh foolishly.
He Xiangu finally could not help but laugh as well. She continued to weave.
She had already made arrangements in her heart. Even if it was a canopy with the clouds as the lines, it would not be able to block the Solar System Sword Array for too long.
Later, she would knock him unconscious and then pour the rest of her celestial energy into the boat, allowing him to float to the top of the mountain with the boat.
Master Yun was focused on watching her weave. He did not pay any attention to the descending sword intent.
A sword intent floated over the cliff rocks, bringing with it sparks, and then quickly disappeared.
He Xiangu raised her head and looked in that direction. Her expression was slightly strange.
"What's wrong?" Master Yun asked with concern.
"The sword intent is drifting."
He Xiangu meant that the density of the sword intent was changing.
Master Yun looked at the upper part of the canyon and silently sensed for a while. He said, "It is indeed a little strange."
He Xiangu put down the loom in her hands and said, "Let's follow them and take a look."
As expected of a pair of immortals who had to travel the canyon on a boat in the face of the Solar System Sword Array, they did not care about the danger and rode on the clouds.
The sword intent above the canyon had indeed become much sparser. Moreover, it was still decreasing.
The boat followed them and soon left the canyon, arriving on the surface of Mars.
The sword intent was still decreasing. It was even gradually reaching the atmosphere.
"What's going on?" Master Yun asked uncertainly. "Could it be that the array change has been stopped?"
He Xiangu revealed a smile and said, "Not only that, the entire sword array is collapsing."
…
…
Yes, the Solar System Sword Array was collapsing.
The huge battleship that was the eye of the array had been completely destroyed by the Snow Girl.
A part of the pivot of the array at the bottom of the ocean on the ancestral planet had been destroyed by the Immortal Tan with the moon as the bell.
The grandmasters of Aoyama couldn't maintain the array any longer. The entire sword array, starting from the sun, began to collapse from the inside out.
When such a magnificent sword formation collapsed, it would definitely cause a huge commotion.
As the gravitational bonds were broken one by one, the space changed violently, and countless waves reverberated in the solar system.
It didn't take long before the waves caused by the collapse of the great array arrived on Mars.
Along with countless cracking sounds, the Formation of Immortals enshrouding Mount Olympus dispersed like a puff of smoke.
The thin atmosphere rose up from the surface of Mars, opening up heaven and earth again.
The air rushed into the top of the mountain, bringing along countless gentle gusts of wind.
Those immortals of the previous generations, Su Ziye, Yuan Qu, and the others all sat down on the ground when they were blown by the gentle wind. Some of them even lay down on the ground, paying no attention to their appearances.
They had all sustained severe injuries to begin with, and they had used up all their energy to support the Formation of Immortals for such a long time. They didn't even have the energy to cheer.
"At this rate … it will take at least sixteen hours for the array to collapse outside the Kuiper Belt."
The shabby robot had stood up again, looking down at the changes in the atmosphere of Mars and the universe like a king.
Shen Yunmai had figured out the answer after observing for a dozen seconds.
The powerful waves caused by the collapse of the sword array passed through Mars and headed toward the outside of the solar system.
Mars had gradually returned to normal. A harmless but annoying sandstorm occurred in the distance.
Many gazes fell on the edge of the cliff.
Jing Jiu was sitting in a wheelchair.
He was looking at the blue planet.
He was looking at the moon that had been broken.
He seemed to hear the sound of the ocean waves and the ringing of the bell.
Then, he looked at the sun. His line of sight seemed to pass through the sun and see something.
The people were waiting for him to make a decision.
The Sword Array of the Solar System had collapsed. The safest way was to wait here.
In a dozen hours, the tens of thousands of battleships outside the Kuiper Belt would invade the solar system.
At that time, no matter how earth-shattering the Ancestral Master's abilities were, he would still be dead.
The battleships could do nothing to the sun, but they could destroy the ancestral planet.
"Let's go there," Jing Jiu said while looking at the blue planet.
The Sword Immortal En Sheng was surprised, raising his eyebrows slightly.
The other immortals of the previous generations were also surprised, thinking that this was not in line with the rumored temperament of the Immortal Jingyang.
Zhao Layue and the others were calm, as if they had already known what he would choose.
Since they had decided to go to the ancestral planet, they had to seize the time because a dozen hours was too long.
However, the distance between Mars and the ancestral planet was still tens of millions of kilometers. How could they go there faster?
Peng Lang stepped forward, his sword bent like a sail.
Liu Shisui kept picking the magic treasures to see which one was more useful.
Shen Yunmai shouted, "Don't leave me behind!"
How could he miss what was going to happen next?
He was now a shabby robot. If no one brought him along, he would not be able to go to the ancestral planet.
However, it was not easy to bring him along.
Jing Jiu said, "Rise the clouds."
Ah Da meowed.
He knew that the final battle was coming, so he dared not delay. He jumped from Jing Jiu's knees to the sky outside the cliff without any resentment in his eyes.
With a buzzing sound, a gentle wind blew around the cliff.
A huge white dandelion grew outside the cliff.
When the crowd looked carefully, they found that it was still Ah Da, but his body had become extremely huge, and his hair was fluffy and fluttering in the wind.
Zhao Layue pushed the wheelchair onto the back of the cat. It was as if she had walked into a bush of reeds, and her figure was immediately hidden.
Tong Yan also landed on the back of the cat with the shabby robot in her hand.
The robot seemed to have turned into a cute toy after sitting on the carpet.
Peng Lang and Liu Shisui disappeared from the spot with dozens of sword lights, and they arrived on the back of the cat in the next moment.
Que Niang and the others, as well as the immortals of the previous generations who were in charge of the formation, were too seriously injured to go with them.
The Deity Battering Master, Mister Dong, and the Demon Immortal brothers in black were also silent.
Ah Da floated up and flew toward the atmosphere like an unreal white cloud.
Suddenly, a sword light flashed by.
The Sword Immortal En Sheng flew into the sky and grabbed a strand of cat hair with his remaining hand.
Ah Da turned around and glanced at the man with slight annoyance. If it were not for Peng Lang, he would have bitten him to death immediately.
The gentle wind became stronger, and the rocks on the mountain top shook.
Que Niang and Yushan supported each other as they walked to the edge of the cliff, and looked up at the sky.
The immortals also looked in the same direction.
The cat had already disappeared into the universe.
…
…
The disintegration of the moon gradually stopped.
The broken side was illuminated by the sunlight, and it was very moving.
The Sword Formation of the Solar System was still disintegrating, and the space distorted due to the gravitational turbulence changed the appearance of the starlight coming from afar, and it looked like a primitive nebula.
The world seemed to be returning to the beginning of the universe.
Most of the fragments of the moon stayed in the orbit not far away. Some of them went to the depths of the universe, and some fell toward the ground.
Those fragments started to burn after entering the atmosphere, forming a spectacular group of shooting stars.
Innumerable splashes appeared on the surface of the ocean in the distance, and the smoke and dusts started to rise on the distant land. The fires could be vaguely seen; it was unclear if the forests had been set on fire.
The Immortal Tan came to the ground along with the group of shooting stars.
He stood in the high sky in front of the small island.
The Sword Formation had collapsed, and the solar system had gradually returned to normal. The dark night was replaced by the blue sky, as if it was another morning.
The morning sunlight shone on the Immortal Tan's body, making him look like a fairy man with a vague golden glow.
Seeing this, Zhuo Rusui had a complicated feeling.
He and the Grandmaster had talked a great deal while looking at the distant moon on this beach.
The Grandmaster had raised his cup to the moon and asked the blue sky.
He had also recited a poem to the moon.
The Grandmaster told him that the humans had modified the moon into a space base many tens of thousands of years ago, but it had been abandoned later. It had been modified into a defense system.
It was true that the moon was empty inside.
At that time, he had a strange thought that he now thought of, that it would be fun if someone was hiding in the moon and watching us.
Who would have thought that this sentence was actually correct?
There was indeed a person on the moon.
It turned out that the Immortal Tan had hidden in the half-abandoned machinery on that barren planet for two years.
Unexpectedly, he didn't flee after the failed attack in the Galaxy outside the Foggy World, despite his temperament, he stayed there quietly instead of fleeing.
It was well known that it was not easy to hide the moon when it was right in front of the Grandmaster.
The Immortal Tan hadn't done anything over the last two years. He didn't even open his eyes, let alone talk to himself.
Zhuo Rusui was also a strange person who had stayed behind closed doors the moment he entered Aoyama, so he knew how difficult it was to do so.
When staying behind closed doors, one could seal off their six senses and isolate themselves from the outside world. It was possible to do so for dozens of years, to say nothing of two years.
However, the Immortal Tan had to be ready to strike at any moment, so he couldn't stay behind closed doors and had to endure it …
This was definitely not something a normal person could do.
Zhuo Rusui was fully aware that he couldn't do it, and he believed that Tong Yan, who had dug a tunnel at the bottom of the Cloud-Dream Mountain for many years, couldn't do it, and neither could Jing Jiu.
What shocked him the most was the method the Immortal Tan had employed.
He found the power of the Scenic-Cloud Bell wasn't powerful enough after the failed attack last time, so he thought of using the Scenic-Cloud Bell to shake the moon.
He had turned the moon into a bell!
It was not as simple as using a loudspeaker; it was more like using a nuclear bomb!
…
…
"It's indeed the Center Sect."
The Grandmaster of Aoyama said this while looking at the Immortal Tan in the sky while sitting in a wheelchair.
This was the second time he had said this.
The Cloud-Dream Mountain hadn't been founded yet when he ascended and left Chaotian.
It wasn't until many years later that he found out that there was a super sect in Chaotian that could rival the Aoyama Sect.
In order to solve this unexpected problem, he had spent a great deal of effort and even sacrificed the lives of his disciples.
It was undoubtedly a high compliment that he said this to the Immortal Tan.
"Thank you for the compliment, Grandmaster," said the Immortal Tan.
The Grandmaster of Aoyama said, "But what you have destroyed is not only this Sword Formation, but also the original happiness of the humans."
The forest in the distance was burning, and a great deal of steam came out from the ocean.
There were no higher life forms on the ancestral planet at the moment. Most of them were the fish and crustaceans in the ocean, and those on the land were the soft animals.
However, the life forms were still life forms, no matter how low their state was.
It was unclear how many lives would come to an end that day.
Those relics of the civilization destroyed by the sound of the bell and smashed by the shooting stars couldn't be rebuilt.
Most importantly, the moon in the sky had already become incomplete.
Those poems and poems had lost their evidence from that day on. The later generations could only imagine them when they read them.
The Grandmaster of Aoyama felt regretful about this.
"The incomplete moon is also the new moon. It can be said that there are countless new poems."
The Immortal Tan understood what he meant, saying, "But first, someone has to see the moon and write the poems."
Only when humans were alive could they feel the beauty or the ugliness and have the desire to express themselves.
The Grandmaster of Aoyama said, "I'm doing all this for the sake of humanity's survival, but you're trying to stop me."
The Immortal Tan said, "No matter what you're going to do, I'll stop you."
The Grandmaster of Aoyama leaned forward a bit, asking, "Why?"
"I'm the sect master of the Zhongzhou School," said the Immortal Tan.
Where had those ascendants on Cloud-Dream Mountain gone?
There was no trace of them in this universe.
Cloud-Dream Mountain had the magic treasure that could connect the inside and outside of the world, but none of the immortals of the previous generations had left any warning.
Bai Ren didn't dare leave the sun of Chaotian after her ascension. Was there any other reason besides her fear of the Sea of Dark Matter?
These questions might not have an answer, but they didn't need an answer.
All in all, the forefathers of the Zhongzhou School had all disappeared here.
As the sect master of the Zhongzhou School, did the Immortal Tan need a reason to destroy all this and even kill them?
"It's a personal grudge," said the Immortal Tan while looking at the Grandmaster of Aoyama.
His voice was neither excited nor resentful; it was calm and determined.
The future of the humans was important, and so was the survival of the humans. Gratitude and grudges were the most important of all.
After a moment of silence, the Grandmaster of Aoyama said, "I didn't handle it properly the first time."
Again, there was no need for a reason, and the truth was unimportant.
It was probably because the Grandmaster of Zhongzhou School who had ascended had been thinking about how he should deal with the Aoyama Sect since they had gained the upper hand in the fairy world.
This thought had led to a problem.
Yet, the problem had already been solved.
The Grandmaster of Aoyama waved his hand, as if he intended to erase all the memories of many years ago.
The swords rang out loudly, echoing in heaven and earth.
The sprays on the surface of the ocean were all swords.
The white clouds drifting over from the sky were all swords.
Countless sword wills headed toward the Immortal Tan.
The Immortal Tan flicked the swords at the Scenic-Cloud Bell in his palm.
The sound of the bell was a bit hoarse, and then it suddenly turned into a deafening boom, as if countless thunders had exploded at the same time.
The violent wind spread out in the high sky, blowing away the sword wills.
The Immortal Tan retreated to the edge of the atmosphere.
A few tears appeared on his cloth, and a faint white mark appeared on his broad forehead, indicating that he had been cut by a sword.
Once in a while, a few broken rocks of the moon fell down from the space, brushing past his body and heading toward the ground. The fiery tails grew longer, turning into shooting stars in the daytime.
"Though you're not bad, you're still no match for me," said the Grandmaster of Aoyama.
Sensing the endless sword wills in heaven and earth, the Immortal Tan suddenly laughed, saying, "What's the point?"
Having said that, he turned around and headed toward those shooting stars, disappearing into the dark space in an instant.
Seeing this, Zhuo Rusui was stunned.
Back in Cloudy Town and later when he cooperated with Jing Jiu, the Immortal Tan had shown another side of his honest and dull appearance.
Yet, he didn't expect it to be like this.
What was the point?
If life and death were meaningless, shouldn't the Immortal Tan use the most orthodox Daoist magic method of Cloud-Dream Mountain to fight with the Grandmaster after making such a beautiful statement? Shouldn't the Immortal Tan fight for the honor of Zhongzhou School, regardless of the outcome? But he … turned around and ran away.
This was really … Why didn't he just run away after destroying the center of the formation? It was meaningless to come here and talk to the Grandmaster.
"It's to buy some time for those people," said the Grandmaster.
Zhuo Rusui finally understood. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Now that the Great Formation has been dismantled, what will you do when they come here?"
"What do you think they can do to me?" asked the Grandmaster.
Zhuo Rusui said, "Those disciples of yours are quite formidable, almost as strong as me."
The Grandmaster said, "It's enough as long as the Emperor is under my control. The rest of them are not worth mentioning."
"Jing Jiu …" Zhuo Rusui said.
The Grandmaster let out a smile, but didn't say anything.
Zhuo Rusui's face turned ashen.
The Grandmaster turned the wheelchair around and looked at the surface of the ocean.
The forest on the other side of the ocean was burning, and the life was trembling.
He remained silent.
