Chapter 978

Bypassing the Monster-slaying Platform, the road ahead was still enshrouded by clouds. On the right was a bottomless sea of clouds that seemed to have been penetrated by someone. On the left was a pool with a circumference of more than a hundred feet. Bubbles silently bubbled on the surface of the water, releasing white gas that curled into clouds and mist. The entire pool looked like a real fairyland, a stark contrast to the gloomy Celestial Judgment Gate.

Next to the pool stood a crooked stone tablet with seal script written on it.

"The Immortal-banishing Pool!"

It could eliminate immortal bones and Dharmakaya and restore the Interior Realm to its original state!

With the two Dharmakayas behind him eyeing him, Mengqi no longer had the same thoughts as before. He did not stop to see if he could collect a bottle of Immortal-banishing Pool water. Instead, he ran like the wind, leaving behind residual shadows. He tried to pass through the pool and find the Three-life Temple as soon as possible to complete the contract and escape from danger.

Just then, a tall figure stepped out of the mist shrouding the road ahead. He wore a black robe and the mask of the ancient Sun God!

He said in a calm tone,

"I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly arched his body and punched out. Purple gas wrapped around him, black and white, simple and unsophisticated!

However, in Mengqi's senses, the surrounding heaven and earth had undergone subtle changes. The five elements had become blurry, the four divisions had returned to obscurity, and all the laws and mist seemed to be in a state of chaos, invisible and intangible!

Without the suppression of the Celestial Judgment Gate, the grandmaster's influence on the surrounding Dharma and Logos would be reduced to less than ten percent. If an expert of the Exterior who connected with the Force of Heaven and Earth was here, his strength would drop by more than half and he would return to the beginning of enlightenment!

"Xi?"

"The Xi who cultivated the Five Tais and Five Virtues and tried to reverse into Wuji?"

From the mask and the characteristics of his skill, Mengqi recognized the identity of this member of the Myths. It was not surprising that he had crossed the second step of the Celestial Ladder and became a grandmaster. What was surprising was that he could stop in front of Meng Qi and Gu Xiaosang.

Before entering the Peach Garden, the seal was intact and there were no forks along the way. The path of thunder and fire only appeared before the Monster-slaying Platform and Demon-slaying Platform. It was impossible for him to catch up without realizing it!

Even if he could hide from Gu Xiaosang and Gu Xiaosang, his special skill and strange Heavenly Knowing, what about the Wizard King of this World who had been secretly following them? How could he hide from a Dharmakaya?

Compared to this question, Meng Qi could completely understand why Xi chose to attack openly instead of sneaking up on Meng Qi. This was the requirement of the Five Tais and Five Virtues. If he violated it, his efforts would be wasted!

Xi's body moved along with his fist. In the blink of an eye, he had crossed a distance of more than a hundred feet and was heading straight for Gu Xiaosang. His punch was heavy and black and white lights danced in the air. Purple light spots condensed on his fist.

Gu Xiaosang did not panic. She pressed her palms together, and suddenly many vortexes appeared in front of her. It was as if the void was collapsing!

His surroundings became like the bottom of a deep sea. Whirlpools were hidden, pulling at his limbs and body, blocking the momentum and impact of the fist.

Without a sound, the vortexes that seemed to be collapsing the void were pierced through by Xi, vanishing into nothingness and returning to their original state.

Her.

Gu Xiaosang's face was plain and clean, and her temperament was pure and holy. At this critical juncture, she bent her palm into a finger. All kinds of changes and all kinds of worldly affairs were concentrated in that finger. It seemed to be just right, but also as if it was meant to be, and it hit the fist.

Her fingers were white and slender. Her fist was dark, steady and powerful. Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. It was a breathtakingly beautiful picture.

Purple light, black and white, flowed into Gu Xiaosang's body through her finger. It was as if it was the "nothingness" that gave birth to all things. It was the final home of all living beings, the Void Hometown!

Gu Xiaosang had withstood Xi's seemingly unstoppable punch with her finger.

The white lotus swayed and the celestial music echoed. Gu Xiaosang floated backward to get away from Xi.

Even though the Celestial Judgment Gate made it difficult to connect heaven and earth and narrowed the gap between grandmasters and masters, it was not as complete as the Luoyang Formation. Gu Xiaosang was not known for her physical strength, so she had to avoid the attack.

Mengqi had already made his move. Others might be suppressed by the darkness of the Five Elements and the Four Divisions, but he had cultivated the Eight Nine Mysteries and the Heavenly Golden Scripture. It was almost like he was fighting at home!

Mengqi exerted strength in his waist and abdomen. He adjusted his Interior and transmitted his strength to the ground through his thighs, calves, and feet.

"Bang!"

His feet came into contact with the ground, and in an instant, he was in front of Xi. The long saber in his right hand hung low, as if it had paused and frozen.

"Bang!"

With another stomp, Mengqi's long saber suddenly burst out, like a dragon freed from its shackles and returning to the sea.

The saber light lit up. It was bright and plain, but it cut through the darkness and chaos, separating Yin and Yang!

"Boom!"

Wherever it passed, Yin and Yang collided with each other, as if there was thunder. The light stopped and the sound was heard.

Xi had just beaten Gu Xiaosang back when he was faced with Mengqi's pincer attack. Without thinking, he stuck out his thumb with his left hand in a very strange way. The Heaven and Earth were hidden, and the Yin Virtue was deeply restrained. Everything in front of his finger disappeared with a bang, as if it had returned to the beginning. It seemed slow, but it always changed according to the changes of Mengqi's saber light, blocking in front of the saber.

The "beginning" could produce all kinds of changes!

Just as the finger and the saber were about to collide, Mengqi's long saber suddenly slanted upwards, changing the move by a hair's breadth. His control was insane!

This was the embodiment of the realm of his bladesmanship and the Eight Nine Mysteries' control of his body.

"Clang!"

The long saber narrowly missed Xi's thumb and hit his shoulder. But the Heaven and Earth light shone dimly, and the golden pagoda appeared indistinctly, vanishing together with the saber light.

Mengqi was neither surprised nor angry. His left hand, Flowing Fire, had already accurately stabbed out, aiming between Xi's eyebrows.

This was a killing move!

The sword light was pure, like a meteor chasing the moon. But when it was in front of Xi, Mengqi's hand involuntarily trembled and the long sword slipped away, only cutting off a strand of Xi's hair. It was as if he did not have the heart to hurt him!

"Saint Virtue …" Mengqi had missed a golden opportunity. He could only turn his body backward, trying to avoid Xi's punch that was surrounded by black and white light. At the same time, he felt a chill on his back, as if there was an enemy lurking in the dark, waiting for the right moment to give him a fatal blow!

A seemingly illusory streamer swayed and attacked Xi from all directions in a variety of strange ways. Gu Xiaosang's figure was ethereal, like a fairy, so Xi had no time to pursue Mengqi.

Mengqi's heart skipped a beat. He pretended to be flustered, his footsteps disorderly, and barely avoided Xi's punch, revealing a huge flaw.

…

The void was shattered, leaving only the thunderbolts, flames, and chaotic holes to form a path. There were a total of six paths, each leading to the Monster-slaying Stage and the Demon-slaying Stage.

Gao Lan raised his right hand and gently pressed it down. The purple and green thunderbolts immediately became docile, devoid of their fierceness, and respectfully sent him through.

Han Guang stepped into the Fiery Hell. Water rippled around him, and the burning flames suddenly solidified, like a painted purple lotus and green flower, its petals vivid and lifelike.

The two of them took different paths to confuse the Wizard King of this World. He could stop one, but not the other.

However, the Wizard King of this World did not care. His transparent figure merged into the shattered void, flashing in front of Gao Lan, and then appeared above Han Guang's head. The environment here made him like a fish in water. It was impossible to defeat the two Dharmakayas, but it was not difficult to stop them for a while!

If he left this place and was chased by them, how would he have the strength to collect the treasures?

…

As soon as Mengqi's footsteps became disorderly, he immediately felt a cold and deadly Sword Qi stabbing toward the Yuzhen acupoint in his head. The speed of the person holding the sword was so fast that he could only sense it, but not catch it!

He took the bait!

Mengqi took a step back, and the back of his head bumped into the Sword Qi!

But at this moment, the Sword Qi suddenly disappeared, and a glimmer lit up in front of Mengqi. It was the glimmer of the tip of the sword that took away all his vitality and breath!

Star of Northern Dipper did not know that Mengqi cultivated the Body Hardening Skill!

But he saw the smile on Mengqi's face, and the red Flowing Fire that seemed to be waiting for him.

The sword light shot up to the sky, and the rays of light split into different directions, intertwining with each other, forming wave after wave of changes, instantly engulfing Star of Northern Dipper.

Clang, clang, clang!

After a crisp sound, Star of Northern Dipper appeared in the distance, blood gushing out of his body. Even his secret treasures were cut into pieces.

He did not dare to fight head-on, and he was seriously injured, so he simply retreated to the direction of the Monster-slaying Tower.

On the other side, Xi's body shone brightly. There was purple light, yellow light, black and white clouds, white gas of nether virtue, and water ripples of holy virtue. The five elements condensed into a phoenix behind him, a phoenix that carried the Five Virtues!

He charged forward, and Gu Xiaosang's ribbons either found it difficult to get close to him, or they actively "avoided" him, but he managed to break through.

Gu Xiaosang's face was still calm, and her eyes were like white lotuses. Her lips curled into a smile, and she stretched out her arms. Her fingers moved slightly, and the ribbons suddenly dispersed and gathered around Xi, as if to wrap him up into a ball.

Meng Qi, on the other hand, felt the fluctuation of the void. It was as if a part of it had been separated!

Most of the ribbons retracted, leaving only a few. They blended with the void and formed a translucent cage, trapping Xi inside!

Is the Demoness's control of the void so strong? Mengqi had a feeling that it was as he expected.

Gu Xiaosang glanced at Xi and smiled. "You must have come from the Path of True Fire."

She did not waste time killing Xi. She quickly walked forward, and telepathically called out to Mengqi, "Husband, don't delay. Things might change if you delay."

…

On the Path of Thunder, Gao Lan had forced the Dharma King of this World to retreat with a punch, but he was not even thirty percent of the way to the end!

Seeing that Han Guang was also blocked, and thinking of Cui Qinghe behind him, Gao Lan's expression grew colder. He suddenly stopped, spread out his right hand, and said in a dignified manner,

"Sword, come!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a long sword flew out from his waist. The iron black color quickly faded, and a dazzling brilliance bloomed. The front of the sword was engraved with the sun, moon, stars, mountains, and rivers. The back of the sword was engraved with immortals, demons, and prostrating demons. On the hilt were engravings of farming, fish, herding, and the various expressions of the human race!

With a burst of light, the gloomy clouds dissipated, and the entire Celestial Judgment Gate became clear. All the phantoms of the Real Dragon and the remaining thunderbolts dissipated, and all the suppression collapsed inch by inch.

The Dharma King of this World retreated a few feet in the void, and blurted out,

"The Sword of the Human Sovereign!"

…

Gu Xiaosang had just taken a step when she felt the majestic and supreme aura. Her pretty face changed slightly, and her emotions fluctuated. She whispered to herself,

"The Sword of the Human Sovereign …"

This was the second time that Mengqi had seen her lose her composure.

At this moment, Gu Xiaosang was no longer flawless in Mengqi's heart. At least there were things that she did not expect. The shadow that had been hanging over her for a long time had dissipated significantly!
