He had experienced the situation before when his clone clashed with the Golden Crow Sage. It was a sign of the emergence of a Dominion. No matter how powerful an attack was, once it entered the Dominion, it would be depleted by the power of laws harnessed within.
It was similar to a bullet entering a swamp. Once it reached a certain distance away, no matter how fast it traveled, it would not be able to harm the life within.
Could it be that … Xue Qianqiu had already reached such a level?
But that shouldn't be the case!
It had only been four hours since the last time they met. If Xue Qianqiu was able to achieve a breakthrough within such a short period of time, he wouldn't have suffered so much in his hands!
Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up as he executed another three sword strikes.
Time flowed swiftly, and his sword qi was as vast as the ocean.
However, in the darkness before him, it was as if a stone had sunk into the ocean. It didn't take long for it to come to a halt.
Hu!
It was then that Xue Qianqiu's attack arrived.
Not only did it not weaken in the slightest, it was even stronger than before.
Su Yin hurriedly raised his sword to defend himself. Ding ding dang dang! The sound of a thunderstorm echoed in the air.
After retreating eight steps, Zhang Xuan finally managed to catch his breath. At this moment, Yang Xuan's voice sounded in his ears, "It's the Supreme Demon God's Eternal Night Demonic Art!"
Knowing that Zhang Xuan was confused, Yang Xuan explained, "The Supreme Demon God is the last emperor of the Titan Demon Tribe, as well as the strongest one. He comprehended the Eternal Night Demonic Art, and once he executed it, his opponent would fall into a demonic domain, unable to escape. Back then, I once saw him execute it, and even a Precept realm cultivator would find it difficult to withstand it! It's extremely similar to the move that Xue Qianqiu executed. However, it's likely that he executed it with the help of some kind of artifact, not his own strength! It's similar to the Five Elements Saint's Five Elements Sacred Mountain, so its offensive prowess isn't too strong. "
"I see …" Su Yin widened his eyes in realization.
It was no wonder his Human Emperor's Sword Qi was blocked.
Even if it was executed with the aid of some artifact, it was still not something that the current Zhang Xuan could withstand!
Su Yin asked, "Is there a way to overcome it?"
Yang Xuan replied, "He comprehended it on his own, so there's no way to overcome it unless one is at the same level as him. However, with sufficient strength, he won't be able to withstand it..."
"Alright!"
The two of them communicated telepathically. In just a short instant, Su Yin had blocked all the incoming sword Qi. With a thought, he called out, "Xiao Wu, Dahei!"
The Undying Bird and the Qilin flew out. At the same time, the Primordial Qi Pearl became several hundred feet wide and smashed straight into the darkness.
The Undying Flame and the Qilin's claws also descended. Under the repeated attacks, the darkness became even more fragile. "Kacha!" With a sound, cracks appeared, like black glass.
It was clearly night, but it could be torn apart. It looked exceptionally strange.
"It really works!"
Su Yin's eyes lit up. He could not be bothered with the nonsense. The Heaven Measuring Ruler and the True Dragon Sword crazily smashed forward. The Zhen Yuan in his body spilled out like it was free.
When others fought with experts, they might have misgivings about using up all their energy. They might not be able to gather more energy in the future, but he was different. He had the Origin Energy Pearl. Whether it was Zhen Yuan or Soul Power, he had an endless supply.
It could be said that he was a perpetual motion machine that knew no fatigue.
After several hundred consecutive slashes, cracks began to appear on the surface of the Dark Night. Unable to hold on any longer, the Dark Night dissipated into black liquid and flowed into the cracks in the ground.
Pu!
Spurting a mouthful of blood, Xue Qianqiu's face reddened, and he retreated a dozen steps.
Evidently, the destruction of this domain had caused him great harm as well.
"Su Yin, I'll kill you!"
Knowing that the other party had two grade-6 pinnacle divine beasts and a Half-Regulation artifact, even if he were to utilize the Eternal Night Demonic Art, he would not be able to stand against the other party. Thus, Xue Qianqiu roared as he raised his hand.
Weng!
Black mist once again flowed out of his right hand, which had just recovered.
As soon as the black mist came into contact with the barrier around the Supreme Demon Bone, a massive hole appeared in it.
Hu!
Xue Qianqiu dived in.
Su Yin narrowed his eyes. He quickly rushed over, but before he could reach the other party, the power of laws had already spread out once more, forcing him back.
The barrier … was repaired!
In other words, only Xue Qianqiu was allowed to enter the barrier, not him!
It seemed like the black mist in his hand was the 'key'!
"That should be the heritage of the Supreme Demon God … That fellow's luck is really good. He managed to obtain the heritage and the acknowledgement of the barrier!" Yang Xuan said.
Su Yin nodded.
How could he not understand what was going on?
They had both entered the Sea of Inner Demons, and he had met a bunch of beauties and nearly lost his life. On the other hand, the other party had managed to obtain the heritage … How in the world did he manage to do it?
"He must have castrated himself …"
While Zhang Xuan was still pondering over the matter, Song Yu's voice suddenly sounded.
"???" Su Yin was taken aback.
"There's no longer any masculine energy in his body. What's left is only feminine energy. Naturally, it was easy for him to clear the trial of desire!" Song Yu shook his head. "There's no need to doubt my judgment. Back then, I was nearly castrated, so I did some research on it."
Su Yin turned to look at the young man in the barrier once more with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
To dare castrate himself in order to assimilate the Supreme Demon Bone … This was the first time he had seen such a vicious fellow.
"You …"
Xue Qianqiu had just heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the other party staring at the space between his legs with a bizarre gaze. His face immediately turned livid, and he spurted yet another mouthful of blood.
Given his strength, how could he possibly not know what was going on?
Trembling in rage, he gritted his teeth and roared, "The day I assimilate the Supreme Demon Bone will be the day you die!"
After saying those words, he suppressed the rage in his heart and turned around to walk toward the stone platform not too far away.
With every step he took, he felt as if he was being subjected to immense mental pressure.
Weng!
With a light buzz, Xue Qianqiu's right arm released the power of darkness. As soon as this power appeared, his speed increased significantly. In just ten breaths, he had already arrived before the Supreme Demon Bone. Reaching out, he grabbed the Supreme Demon Bone.
Hu hu hu!
A massive River of Time appeared, and the powers of the past, present, and future that had been intertwined with one another suddenly showed signs of separating.
"So, this is the true path of time …" Su Yin widened his eyes in realization.
All along, he had been thinking that there was only a single path of time, so how could he break through its shackles and become a law? But it turned out that it was divided into the past, present, and future!
"Summing up the past, grasping the present, and looking into the future … When the three of them are combined once more, they will become a law!"
Yang Xuan said grimly. "Once that happens, it will be too late to stop him!"
Su Yin nodded in agreement.
Even before reaching the Law realm, the other party was still able to nearly injure him with just his artifact. If the other party were to achieve a breakthrough, given the grudge between the two of them, they would surely go all out!
He had to find a way to stop the other party!
"Let's see if I can sever it!"
Previously, he had only approached the barrier without using any weapons. Let's see if I can shatter it right now!
Su Yin's eyebrows shot up as he drove the Origin Energy Orb and smashed it down on the barrier.
The barrier shook, and a burst of demonic aura burst forth. Su Yin's face paled, and he was forced to retreat.
"I'm still lacking a little …"
After smashing the barrier a few more times, Su Yin realized that it was far more resilient than he had imagined. It was impossible for him to shatter it with his current strength. Thus, he could only halt his attacks.
After so many attacks, he was already panting heavily.
"My current strength isn't enough to shatter the barrier. If I can reach half-step Law realm and use the Origin Energy Orb, will I be able to do it?"
A thought suddenly surfaced in Zhang Xuan's mind.
Even though his fighting prowess had already surpassed half-step Law realm experts like Sage Helplessness and Sage Toad Laurel, he was still far from reaching true Law realm experts.
Unless … he could take a step further!
Once he succeeded, he would be able to bring out the strength of a true Law realm expert.
Just that … how could he make a breakthrough?
"I should first assimilate the skeletons of Tian Gong, Yu Luo, and the Fist Saint …"
With a flick of his wrist, three skeletons appeared before him.
It was only after Tian Gong and Yu Luo had been killed the first time that their skeletons were snatched away by the Golden Crow that they came back to life. This time, he had taken away their skeletons right after killing them. They harnessed a branch of the Firmament's Great Path. Even though it was difficult for him to comprehend it, it was still possible for him to assimilate it into his body.
Hu!
The eternal sands of time appeared around him, and the flow of time began to change.
Picking up Tian Gong and Yu Luo's shattered bodies, Zhang Xuan drove his energy and absorbed it furiously. Strands of silk appeared and slowly seeped into his meridians.
The bodies of the two were formed from the Ancient Beast Ou Si's silk and life force, and they harnessed the power of an ancient divine beast.
As soon as they entered his body, Su Yin immediately felt a brand new Great Path appearing before him.
The Path of Silkworm!
With this Great Path, one would be able to wear soft clothes and live a better life.
"The Great Path of Sealing is indeed a branch of the Path of Silkworm …"
As Su Yin comprehended more and more, he finally understood that the Great Path of Sealing was the same as the Silkworm Cocoon. There was no difference between the two.
Comprehending this Great Path of Sealing was equivalent to making up for the loss of Lin Xuan's strength.
After an unknown period of time, a violent rumble echoed from his body. The power of the Path of Silkworm had perfectly fused with the other twenty-six Great Paths!
At this moment, Su Yin had already fused twenty-seven Great Paths of Sealing.
Powerful energy surged into his glabella, clearing his mind and allowing him to comprehend more and more.
"Nine is the limit of numbers. Twenty-seven is exactly three nines. In other words … as long as I am willing, I can use this as a foundation to become a Master of Laws!"
Realization dawned on him.
He immediately felt his cultivation, which had been stuck at rank six pinnacle, stirring. The door was right before him. As long as he had sufficient faith, he would be able to take a step forward.
"Let's make a breakthrough to half-step Rule realm first!"
Knowing that the chances of success were extremely low, perhaps even less than one percent, Su Yin did not rush into it. Instead, he focused his consciousness on the barrier before him and took a step forward.
Half of his foot was already in the doorway.
Boom!
His aura immediately surged. His strength as a rank six pinnacle cultivator began pushing toward half-step Rule realm.
With the experience of helping the Origin Energy Pearl advance, it was already a walk in the park for him.
Peng! Peng!
The Celestial Palace, Jadefall, and Fist Saint's bones were reduced to dust. The concentrated power of the Laws surged into Zhang Xuan's dantian at a speed visible to the naked eye.
With the help of the three Sages and the two ancient beasts, Su Yin was able to break through the barrier of half-step Rule realm easily, allowing him to gain a firm foothold.
The energy of the Saint Origin Pond and the Bridge of Helplessness surged toward him, doubling his strength before slowly coming to a stop.
"My meridians have actually turned into threads …"
Su Yin looked inside himself and immediately saw that all the meridians in his body had already turned into threads. They were sparkling and translucent, full of endurance.
If it was in the past, he might not have been able to withstand it and would have been torn apart. However, with his current strength, it was not a problem for him to increase his strength by twofold.
More importantly, even if his meridians could not withstand it and were torn apart, he could still repair them with the silk.
Furthermore, after fusing the strength of the Fist Saint, Celestial Palace, and Jadefall, his fighting prowess had increased significantly. If he were to meet Limbo and Toad Osmanthus again, he would be able to crush them with a single punch.
"While my strength has increased, the True Dragon Sword won't be of much use anymore …"
After reaching half-step Rule realm, Zhang Xuan's meridians had turned into silk, granting him greater strength. If he were to execute the Human Emperor's Sword Art once more, the grade-5 pinnacle True Dragon Sword might not be able to withstand it anymore.
It was a pity that the dragon scales and dragon blood that he had snatched from the Dragon Emperor were with his clone, so he could not send them over. Otherwise, he could find a way to raise the grade of the True Dragon Sword.
"The Golden Crow Sacred Ground and Firmament Sacred Ground have obtained quite a few treasures. Even if they can't raise the True Dragon Sword to grade-6 pinnacle, breaking through the shackles of grade-5 shouldn't be too difficult!"
The Great Dao of Blacksmithing appeared, and the True Dragon Sword softened under the heat of the flames.
Countless precious treasures flew over to the True Dragon Sword.
To be able to be collected by the Golden Crow Sacred Ground and Firmament Sacred Ground, even if the grade of the True Dragon Sword was not too high, it was still extraordinarily valuable. Soon, over a hundred ores were fused into the True Dragon Sword.
In an instant, the True Dragon Sword became even more translucent.
After forging for some time, after seeing that the True Dragon Sword had fused perfectly with the various ores, Su Yin poured the Darknorth Water and the Weak Water over it to temper it.
Hu!
The roar of a dragon sounded, and the True Dragon Sword turned into a massive dragon once more. It soared into the sky for a long time before returning. Just as Zhang Xuan had guessed, it had reached grade-6.
However, it was only at grade-6 primary stage, still some distance away from reaching grade-6 pinnacle.
After a weapon reached the level of a Sage, the improvement of ordinary ores and materials would be negligible. If one wanted to go further, there were only two ways. First, the master had to spend tens of thousands of years nurturing it. Second, he had to refine a stronger treasure into it.
Zhang Xuan definitely didn't have the time to do the first method. He could only see if he could find a stronger treasure to fuse with it in the future.
After letting the True Dragon Sword pass through the grade-6 lightning, Zhang Xuan looked inside the barrier.
At this time, Xue Qianqiu had already refined half of the Supreme Demonic Bone. It seemed that he had also used time acceleration.
Although he didn't have the eternal sands of time, he had comprehended the Great Dao of a thousand years. Now that he had fused with the Supreme Demonic Bone, his control of the river of time had become even more precise.
It seemed like only a few minutes had passed, but in reality, it might have been several years, even decades, or centuries.
The more demonic bones Zhang Xuan refined, the stronger his aura became. Despite the barrier, Su Yin could clearly feel that he was gradually approaching the level of a Golden Crow Sage.
"If this continues, he will soon become the Master of Laws. At that time, it will be even harder to defeat him!"
Su Yin couldn't be bothered to waste his breath anymore. He slowly fused the 27 Great Daos in his body.
In an instant, a brilliant burst of sword qi, working together with the Origin Energy Orb, struck the barrier before him.
The barrier shuddered, and the black mist surrounding it thinned. Cracks began to appear on its surface.
"Alright!"
Sensing that he wasn't unable to withstand the recoil this time, Su Yin's eyes lit up.
As expected, once his cultivation reached Half-Law realm, the barrier before him would no longer be able to harm him.
Boom boom boom!
After more than a hundred consecutive strikes, the barrier finally caved in, and a massive hole was torn in it.
Even though the barrier was left behind by a Dominion realm expert, it had already been weakened to the extreme over the past ten thousand years without the support of a Sage. How could it possibly withstand Zhang Xuan's ferocious might?
"You …"
Not expecting the other party to reach Half-Law realm within such a short period of time and even break through the barrier, Xue Qianqiu's complexion turned incredibly awful. With a furious roar, he spurted a mouthful of blood.
Tzzzzzz!
The river of time flowed along his body. The past, present, and future that had just been separated gradually showed signs of fusing together. Due to the forceful fusion, the power kept collapsing. It was like a devastating lightning bolt, causing the injuries on his body to worsen.
Without any hesitation, Xue Qianqiu grabbed the Demonic Supreme Bone tightly as a sharp glint flashed across his eyes. "Assimilate it!"
To think that he would attempt to assimilate the Demonic Supreme Bone in such a dangerous situation!
However, Su Yin had already entered, so there was no way he would give Xue Qianqiu the opportunity to do so. The True Dragon Sword morphed into a river as it slashed down on Xue Qianqiu's right arm once more.
"You …" Xue Qianqiu nearly fainted from anger.
Other experts would pay particular attention to their poise, but this fellow actually tried to sever his arm as soon as he arrived. What's wrong? Are you addicted to it?
Do you think that I'm a lizard?
As stifled as Xue Qianqiu was, he knew that once his arm was severed, all of his advantages would go to waste. Left with no choice, he could only halt his assimilation of the Demonic Supreme Bone and face the other party's attack head-on.
Boom boom boom!
Three consecutive punches shook the entire mountain. The immense might behind the three punches easily tore the sword qi apart.
"Ji Le, think of a way to assimilate it …"
With a wave of his hand, Su Yin pushed Ji Le towards the Demonic Supreme Bone. His hands didn't stop moving, he used the Origin Energy Pearl and the True Dragon Sword to smash and slash.
At the same time, Xiao Wu and Dahei also surrounded Xue Qianqiu, launching sneak attacks from time to time.
Even though Xue Qianqiu's improvement was huge, and he already had one foot in the Demonic Supreme Bone, he was still a little flustered.
"You forced me to do this!"
Seeing that the young man's attacks were getting fiercer and fiercer, not giving him any time to catch his breath, Xue Qianqiu's eyes suddenly turned red.
In order to assimilate the Demonic Supreme Bone, he had castrated himself, becoming neither a man nor a woman. Yet, the young man still didn't let him off.
Boom boom boom!
Amidst his roars, Xue Qianqiu's figure grew taller and taller. The aura on his body flickered, as if it would collapse at any moment.
"Oh no, he's going to demonize!"
Yang Xuan's voice sounded.
"Demonize?" Su Yin didn't understand.
Yang Xuan said, "The Giant Demon Race can turn human cultivators who cultivate demonic arts into demonic cultivators. That grandson of yours, Ji Le, is one such example. As long as demonic cultivators don't continue cultivating demonic arts, they have a chance to revert back to being human. This is because even though they cultivate demonic arts, they still maintain a clear conscience and their mental state hasn't been demonized. Once their mental state is demonized, they will become a true Giant Demon, feasting on humans and becoming extremely violent … "
"This Xue Qianqiu cultivates the Eternal Night Demonic Dao and has already become a demonic cultivator. At this moment, he is being forced into a corner by you. It is obvious that he intends to lead the demonic energy into his heart and become a true Giant Demon!"
Su Yin's eyes narrowed.
With this kind of strength, he was already somewhat powerless to face him. If he was truly demonized, he definitely wouldn't be a match for him!
"Hurry up and stop him …"
With a roar, Su Yin continued to use all his strength to smash the Demonic Supreme Bone. The Origin Energy Bead became as large as a planet. Before it even landed, the immense pressure caused the rocks on the ground to turn into dust. The True Dragon Sword soared through the air, and every time it landed, an incomparably sharp sword qi would be released.
However, such powerful attacks were insignificant before the surging demonic energy. They were all blocked outside.
"It's too late …"
Along with Yang Xuan's lamentation, Xue Qianqiu's demonic energy had already reached its peak. His entire body was like a molting monster as his body rapidly expanded. In the blink of an eye, he had grown to a height of more than ten meters.
As his body expanded, his strength also grew stronger. He was only half a step away from reaching the Rule realm, but at this moment, he was about to break through.
"Scram!"
The enlarged Xue Qianqiu ignored Su Yin's frenzied attacks. With a flick of his finger, The Great Demon of Bliss, who was still trying to refine the Supreme Demonic Bone, was immediately sent flying. Blood spurted from his mouth.
Knowing that with Xue Qianqiu's strength, it was impossible for him to refine the Supreme Demonic Bone without him holding back, Su Yin kept it in the Saint Origin Reservoir to recover first before smashing the Origin Energy Bead once more.
"I'll kill you!"
After sending The Great Demon of Bliss flying, the Supreme Demonic Bone slowly flew toward the roaring Xue Qianqiu. In an instant, it landed on his glabella and fused perfectly with his skull.
Boom!
He crossed the barrier of the Rule realm in an instant. Demonic aura gathered around him, causing his strength to grow stronger and stronger.
Su Yin felt goosebumps rising all over his body.
He had crossed blows with Xue Qianqiu many times. Ever since Xue Qianqiu became a master teacher, he had never met with any setbacks in his cultivation. As such, whenever he was in danger, the first thing that came to his mind was to flee and return to exact his vengeance.
This was also the reason why he was able to succeed time and time again.
He thought that as long as he put on a strong performance, the other party would definitely turn around and flee. Who could have thought that not only would the other party not leave, he would even go as far as to go into a frenzy?
His attitude had become much more forceful.
Why did Dongfang Bubai become the number one expert in the world? Why was Sima Qian able to write the Records of the Grand Historian? Why was Zheng He able to sail to the Western Ocean seven times? Why was Cai Lun able to improve the Art of Papermaking?
As expected, castrating oneself would make one stronger. This saying was true.
After breaking through to the Rule realm, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and countless lightning bolts struck.
Even though this was the sacred land of the Demon Tribe hidden in the void, it was still a part of the Celestial World. As long as one broke through to the next realm, a calamity would descend upon them.
"Before the lightning tribulation, I'll kill you first!"
Knowing that the Rule Realm Ordeal would be fearsome, Xue Qianqiu didn't waste any time and sent a fist toward Su Yin.
After breaking through his bottleneck, his strength and reaction speed had increased by leaps and bounds. In the blink of an eye, he had already appeared before the young man. At the same time, boundless darkness shrouded the entire mountain peak.
Being shrouded by the Evernight Demonic Art, Su Yin's movements and strength were restricted. Faced with the sudden attack, he could only raise his arms.
Peng!
"Kacha!" Su Yin's arm emitted a cracking sound as he flew backwards, his entire body covered in blood.
Even though his physical body had reached grade-6 pinnacle, he was still unable to withstand the full might of a Rule realm cultivator.
With a thought, the energy within the Origin Energy Pearl flowed through his meridians and swiftly healed his injuries. Knowing that he wasn't a match for the other party, Su Yin hastened his retreat.
It was fortunate that he had made a breakthrough to half-step Rule realm, or else he would have been crippled even if not dead.
Boom boom boom!
Xue Qianqiu didn't give Zhang Xuan any time to catch his breath. Fist after fist, he released his strength relentlessly.
Even though Xue Qianqiu hadn't cleared the lightning tribulation yet, he was already a true Rule realm expert. With his powerful cultivation and the Evernight Demonic Art, Su Yin was unable to dodge at all.
"Drag it out! Drag it out until he clears the lightning tribulation!"
Knowing the current situation, Su Yin instructed Xiao Wu and Dahei before retreating once more.
When he was pushing for a breakthrough to Celestial Sage, the other party had been delaying the lightning tribulation. Yet, even though he had clearly improved, the other party was still using the same move.
Reincarnation was indeed a part of the heavens!
"You want to kill me after I'm severely injured after the lightning tribulation? Dream on! "
Seeing through Zhang Xuan's actions, Xue Qianqiu roared furiously and charged forward.
The mountain peak was already shrouded in darkness, and it felt as if night had fallen. Flying in this pitch-black environment, Su Yin felt as if he was advancing through mud.
It was fortunate that he had just achieved a breakthrough, so his control over his Dominion wasn't too perfect. Otherwise, he would have been pummeled to death by such violent attacks.
Su Yin's chest was boiling, and many of his bones and meridians had been shattered. He could only retreat continuously. All of a sudden, a thought appeared in his mind.
"No, that's not right …"
"Sage Rushou once said that one has to fulfill three conditions in order to achieve a breakthrough to Celestial Sage."
"First, one has to cultivate three types of Great Dao that can be fused together. Second, one has to find a commonality and reconstruct the order of things. Third, one has to possess one's own faith …"
"He managed to split the Great Dao into the past, present, and future and fuse them together. He has fulfilled the first condition."
"He forcefully entered the demonic path, castrated himself, and was vicious to others and even more vicious to himself. He has managed to achieve the merciless nature of time, not stopping for anyone … He has fulfilled the second condition!"
"What about the third condition? He hasn't even established a Saint Land, so how could he possibly have his own faith? Without faith, how could he possibly achieve a breakthrough to Celestial Sage? "
The Five Elements Sage was an expert who had been immersed in the Half-Laws for tens of thousands of years. Since he had said so, there should be no problem.
However, the other party had managed to break the laws of time. As soon as he assimilated the Demon Supreme Bone, he had managed to push for a breakthrough to Celestial Sage.
"Could it be …"
With a thought, Zhang Xuan sent his consciousness into the Origin Energy Pearl and looked at the cultivators he had captured from the Cangqiong Saint Land. "Is there anyone among you who believes in the Path of Time?"
Unless there was someone in the Cangqiong Saint Land who believed in the Path of Time, there was no way he could have done it so quickly.
Upon hearing the Golden Crow Sage's question, the old man from before shook his head and replied, "There isn't. We all believe in the Cangqiong Saint!"
This time, it was Su Yin's turn to be confused.
They all believed in the Cangqiong Saint Land, but none of them believed in the Path of Time. How did he manage to achieve a breakthrough? Could it be that he had secretly established a Saint Land? Did he manage to gather a lot of believers?
Impossible!
Zhang Xuan quickly rejected the idea.
Three days ago, the other party was just like him, a Quasi-Saint expert. He had no idea when he had achieved a breakthrough to Celestial Sage.
If he wasn't a Celestial Sage, he wouldn't have been able to establish a Saint Land.
After the other party achieved a breakthrough, Zhang Xuan had been chasing after him and beating him up.
"Perhaps, the Path of Time is a branch of the Cangqiong Saint Land … Forget it, there's no need to think too much into it. Regardless of whether it's true or not, I'll just have to give it a try!"
Su Yin knew that this wasn't the time to be analyzing such matters. Thus, he turned his consciousness into the Golden Crow Sage and shrouded the Origin Energy Pearl.
"My teacher is currently in the midst of a battle, so I'll have to trouble you all not to provide your faith for the time being. Otherwise, you might expose my teacher's location.
Zhang Xuan drove his Dream Path, Path of Traversing, Path of Entertainment, and many other Daos simultaneously, and his voice carried a hint of bewitchment.
If Xue Qianqiu's breakthrough really had something to do with the faith of these people, as long as he could find a way to cut it off, his cultivation would come to a halt. Putting aside pushing for a breakthrough to Celestial Sage, his cultivation might even regress!
With the previous foundation, the hundreds of millions of disciples didn't doubt Zhang Xuan's words at all. They quickly followed Zhang Xuan's instructions and emptied their minds.
As everyone did so, the flow of faith began to slow down. In fact, it even lost its strength.
If one were to compare pushing for a breakthrough to Celestial Sage to building a higher floor on a hundred-meter-tall building, the faith of the crowd would be the foundation of the building. If the foundation were to disappear, putting aside building a higher floor, even the previous floor would tremble and become unstable.
If one's strength reached the level of the Firmament God or the Golden Crow Sage, one might still be able to stabilize the foundation. However, Xue Qianqiu, who was facing the lightning tribulation, would definitely not be able to do so.
While Zhang Xuan split his consciousness to deal with these believers, he continued fleeing under Xue Qianqiu's pursuit. At this moment, his chest had already caved in, and there were many holes in it. He had never sustained such severe injuries before.
If not for him reaching Half-Laws and standing at the very top of the world, he might have already breathed his last.
Seeing that the lightning tribulation was about to descend, Xue Qianqiu knew that there was no time left. Thus, he gathered all of his strength and sent a punch toward Zhang Xuan. Just as he thought that he would be able to kill the young man before him, the energy that filled his body suddenly dissipated like the receding tide.
It was as if someone had punctured a hole in a balloon.
Sensing the change in his strength, the lightning tribulation in the sky swiftly dissipated as well.
"What's going on?" Xue Qianqiu narrowed his eyes in disbelief.
He had forcefully assimilated the Demonic Supreme Bone, and he had already broken through his bottleneck. Why did he suddenly feel as if he had returned to Half-Laws?
"This is the time!"
Seeing that his actions were effective, Su Yin's eyebrows shot up. He opened his palm and grasped forward.
Huala!
Before the flustered Xue Qianqiu could react, he had already been struck by Zhang Xuan's attack. His clothes were stripped clean once more.
His entire body was naked, without a stitch of clothing.
His cheeks twitched, and he raised his head to look at the young man before him, only to see the latter looking at him with a serious expression. With a respectful attitude, he said, "Paying respects to Eunuch Xue. Good luck to Eunuch Xue."
After saying those words, Zhang Xuan turned his head to the side and said in displeasure, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and greet him!"
"Greetings, Eunuch Xue!"
Hearing the sweet voice, Dahei's face darkened in embarrassment.
"Eunuch Xue, you are really flat!" The parrot exclaimed gleefully. Its eyes darted all over the place, as if trying to memorize the other party's current state.
"You all …"
In the past, even though his body was small, he was still able to tolerate it no matter what others said. But now, he was completely bare and flat … and he was even being addressed as' Eunuch Xue '!
"Pu!" Unable to hold it in any longer, Xue Qianqiu spurted a mouthful of blood. He could no longer control the demonic aura that filled his body, and it seemed as if it would collapse at any moment.
Not only did the other party try to kill him, he even went as far as to add insult to injury …
Su Yin, you are too evil! The two of us are irreconcilable!
