The God-slaying Whip was nearly four feet long with distinct segments. As Mengqi drew it out, the wooden shell cracked open, revealing the golden body of the whip. Eighty-four talismans appeared in unison, emitting a dazzling light that froze Yang Xizhi in place.
Yang Xizhi's Fan of Flames and Birds was aimed at Mengqi's doppelganger. She was about to fan it out, but it was too late for her to defend herself. With the talismans on her body, she was about to be hit by the God-slaying Whip.
Just then, the light of Li Fire rose from her body and burned the talismans. Her eyes regained some clarity and two beams of white light burst forth.
As soon as the white light appeared, Mengqi felt his Vital Spirit stiffen. It was as if all his movements and movements would be frozen and his head would be easily cut off by the sword in Yang Xizhi's hand.
With this, the speed at which the God-slaying Whip was falling slowed down a little. Yang Xizhi forcibly withdrew her Fan of Flames and Birds and waved it randomly, not caring if it would affect her.
Flames of various colors surged out, including red, orange, yellow, white, cyan, blue, and purple. They ignited the Vital Qi and scorched the void.
"Crack!"
The God-slaying Whip fell and extinguished the flames again. It hit the fan squarely and sent Yang Xizhi flying. The white light dissipated.
"Bang!" Yang Xizhi crashed into a pillar. Cracking sounds rang out incessantly as countless bones were broken.
Surprisingly, the pillars and the floor of the Yuan Xin Palace were still intact. Not a single scratch could be seen!
On the other side, Meng Qi's doppelganger touched the purple bell that contained the "Yuan-xin Seal" impartation. He did not find any traps, but Gu Heng's right hand had already smashed the doppelganger into pieces.
He had no time to put away the bell because Mengqi was not going to let him go after succeeding in one move. He was about to swing the long saber in his right hand at Yang Xizhi, who was seriously injured and still in a daze!
Gu Heng's eyes were filled with anxiety. His body swelled and he opened his mouth to let out a roar.
"Die!"
Suddenly, the void of the entire Yuan Xin Palace seemed to be distorted. Mengqi felt as if he was carrying several mountains on his back. His feet were firmly gripped by the ground, making it extremely difficult for him to move. His saber was delayed for half a breath, allowing Yang Xizhi to dodge it.
Bang, bang, bang! Faced with Gu Heng, who had covered the entire sky, Mengqi showed no signs of weakness. He followed suit and grew larger. His muscles bulged and he broke free from the restraints binding him. The sound of ropes snapping could be heard.
Thud! The hall shook and the ground quaked. Gu Heng took a step forward. With his right hand on top and his left hand on the bottom, he faced each other with his palms facing each other. With a sudden twist, a dark vortex was created in the void between his palms. It was a dark vortex that madly absorbed the surrounding airflow and all kinds of forces and laws. Mengqi felt his body lighten as he was involuntarily lifted into the air and thrown into the vortex.
The flesh and bones all over his body showed signs of collapsing. He was in extreme pain, and he could clearly hear their cracking sounds in his heart.
With his Aperture acupoints opened, the Grand Sun, the Golden Crow, the Chaotic Hole Galaxy, and the other forms of the Interior Realm, as well as the Force of Heaven and Earth, condensed at the tip of Mengqi's saber. A deep, dark, pinhole-like object took shape, emitting an unimaginably terrifying suction force, tearing and pulling at everything around it.
"Watch my blade!" Mengqi bellowed as well. Heaven Inflicted Pain swiftly slashed out, casting the hall into darkness. It was as if everything was about to return to nothingness.
Due to the mutual attraction, Mengqi and Gu Heng were both pulled forward involuntarily. In an instant, they collided with each other. The saber slashed into the dark vortex!
"Buzz, buzz, buzz …" First, there was a low, bone-aching sound. Then, a loud rumble erupted. The shockwave swept through everything and threw Yang Xizhi into the air. Then, there was the sound of bones breaking.
Mengqi was in pain all over. Some parts of his body were lacerated, while others had collapsed into a bloody pulp. It was the same for Gu Heng. However, the Yuxu Palace remained undamaged, as if it could not be harmed by mortal forces.
All of a sudden, he pressed his saber down. Relying on the remaining force, Mengqi made a half-arc, leaving an afterimage in his wake. He rushed past Gu Heng, who could not react in time. Before Yang Xizhi could regain her footing and form an encirclement, Mengqi rushed to the altar and picked up the purple bell.
Then, without stopping, he knocked open the side door in an attempt to fly to the next hall.
Yang Xizhi had just steadied herself when she saw this scene. Her eyes were spitting fire. Disregarding her serious injuries, she bit the tip of her tongue and transformed into a beam of Li Fire. She suddenly appeared behind Mengqi and thrust her long sword forward, causing sparks to fall down.
After activating the Heavenly Weapon, Mengqi used the All Things to the Void again. Although he was in a better condition than before, he could not hold on for too long. He dared not delay, fearing that Gu Heng would catch up to him. Therefore, he kept moving forward and shifted slightly. At the same time, he secretly circulated the Immortal Pressing Art, which was combined with the Yin Yang Seal.
"Clang, clang, clang!" Yang Xizhi stabbed Mengqi's back. It was as if she had stabbed a piece of Gengjin. After piercing through the Magical Magnetic Robe of Two Poles, she almost failed to stab into it!
"Pfft!" Mengqi spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood burst into flames as soon as it left his body.
His figure suddenly sped up and shook off Yang Xizhi in an instant. He rushed into the winding corridor and disappeared around the corner.
It was only then that the void became distorted and Gu Heng's domain began to spread.
"He got away again," Gu Heng said in a muffled voice.
Yang Xizhi coughed violently and nearly fainted. She hurriedly took out the elixir her master had given her and swallowed it. After taking a few breaths to regulate her condition, she finally stabilized her injuries.
"How many 'Rare Ignis Treasures' pills are left?" Gu Heng asked with concern.
"Two pills. He's really hard to deal with." Yang Xizhi exhaled. However, she did not seem to be disappointed. The corners of her mouth curled into a faint smile as she looked at the burning blood on the tip of her sword and the flesh and blood that had spilled onto the ground. "Just a little bit more. Even if I can't kill him the next time, I can still make sure that he won't be able to walk out of Yuxu Palace alive."
Her injuries had healed considerably. She quickly collected the flesh and blood and then took out a scarecrow and smeared the flesh and blood on it.
The scarecrow had a lamp above its head and another lamp below its feet. The words "Su Ziyuan" were written on it in blood instead of "Su Meng" or "Sumo". The moment the flesh and blood were smeared on the scarecrow, it was immediately absorbed. As the flesh and blood increased, the scarecrow gradually emitted a bloody glow.
Gu Heng took the scarecrow and used his left hand to deduce Meng Qi's whereabouts. Then, he took Yang Xizhi with him to give her time to recover.
After flying for a while, Yang Xizhi identified the terrain and muttered, "At this rate, he'll set foot in the 'Dao-yi Hall' sooner or later. Let's take a shortcut and wait for him."
Gu Heng said nothing and immediately changed his route. He seemed to be very familiar with the layout of Yuxu Palace.
…
Mengqi only had time to examine his injuries after flying for a long distance. Generally speaking, they were not serious. The head-on clash with Gu Heng had only resulted from the recoil and aftershock. Yang Xizhi's final attack was limited to less than half of its power due to her severe injuries. Therefore, he could recover quickly by taking other healing elixirs and replenish his energy consumption. There was no need for the Yuxu Golden Elixir.
The only problem was that the five sword wounds on Mengqi's back were still burning with purplish-blue flames. The flames could burn anything, including his Real Vitality and spirit!
However, they were only remnants of the flames. Mengqi had eliminated them completely after he had performed the Grand Sun and the Blue-blooded People.
At this moment, another hall appeared in front of Mengqi. The words "Void Hall" were written on it.
"This is the" Seal of Void "of the Nine Primeval Seals …" Mengqi did not enter rashly. Instead, he stopped and waited for his strength to recover a little in case there was any danger inside.
He looked around and found another path leading to the Void Hall. It seemed to extend from the side door.
After a while, Mengqi had recovered about sixty to seventy percent of his strength. He plucked out his hair and transformed into a doppelganger. Then, he hid himself.
The doppelganger pushed open the door of the "Void Hall". It was inexplicably dark inside, giving off a sense of emptiness.
Mengqi squinted his eyes and let out a soft cry of surprise. The altar of worship was empty. The token that carried the inheritance of the "Seal of Void" was nowhere to be seen.
"Someone beat me to it?" Mengqi was not too surprised. Since Prince Chu Zhuang was able to take away the Ruyi Scepter, there must have been other people who were lucky enough to come here in the "past few hundred years".
"It's fine as long as the first three seals and the General Instruction of Dharmakaya Scripture are still here!" Mengqi did not have time to be disappointed. He put away the doppelganger that was not as fast as him. He crossed the "Void Hall" and went straight to the next hall. Out of habit, he chose the left side.
After flying for a while, relying on the Heavenly Golden Scripture and the Eight Nine Mysteries, Meng Qi managed to break through several Restrictive Spells without mishap. He saw a hall with no specific shape and shape. Only the gate and the horizontal board were clear.
"Wu 'Ji Hall!"
The first of the nine seals, the Wu 'Ji Seal! Mengqi was not blinded by greed. He created the doppelganger step by step and checked if there was an ambush nearby.
The doppelganger pushed open the yellow door. It was dim inside and almost solidified. It seemed that there was no past, future, or present.
He entered the hall and moved forward in a straight line. After a few breaths, the altar of worship was reflected in Mengqi's eyes.
Empty!
It was still empty!
Mengqi took a deep breath. He could roughly imagine the situation at that time. Someone sneaked in from the side door and arrived at the Wu 'Ji Hall through the Void Hall. Maybe he was in a hurry, or maybe there were other reasons, he did not turn around to take the Yuan Xin Seal.
After taking two slow steps, Mengqi sped up again. He was not bothered by the dejection. The rest of the seals should still be there!
Just as he was about to cross the altar of worship, he suddenly heard a vague and faint voice reverberating in the dark chaos above. It was ancient and had penetrated through the ages.
"What happened yesterday died yesterday. What happened today is born today."
"From today onwards, I am the Ajati Matriarch!"
Mengqi was stunned. He could not help but recall many memories. The Ajati Matriarch, as the name suggested, was born from nothingness. She was known as the God, Buddha, and Saint, the mother of all living things in the world. The void hometown where she lived was the final destination of all living things. The final destination was usually nothingness, and the Wu 'Ji Seal was the manifestation of nothingness … Luo Denomination Dharmaraja and Gu Xiaosang were both good at the art of void …
Which mighty person sneaked into the Yuxu Palace and obtained the Seal of Void and the Wu 'Ji Seal? Then he had an epiphany and cut out the past?
Without much time to think, Mengqi made a mental note of this and rushed out of the side door of the Wu 'Ji Hall. He changed his direction to the Dao Yi Hall. Judging from the fact that the Yuan Xin Seal was not taken away, the Dao Yi Seal might still be there!
