But this time, the ancient sword that once awed the heavens failed to pierce Jiang Chengye's neck.
The sword's momentum waned halfway through its advance, and Jiang Chengye slowly extended his hand, pulling the ancient sword inch by inch from his throat.

The Karma Sword let out a mournful cry, as Jiang Chengye actually cracked it with his bare hands. Then, with a wave of his hand, Jiang Chengye summoned the Fangtian Halberd into his grasp. He turned the spearhead around and thrust it fiercely towards the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden tried to dodge, but the spatial distortion around her intensified instantly, and those invisible ripples turned into the strongest shackles, binding her firmly to the spot.
The pitch-black star power surged forth and gathered on the halberd. Even before it got close, its awe-inspiring power had already frozen the blood in her body.
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden closed her eyes as if resigned to her fate.
In this life-or-death moment, what flashed through her mind was the time she had followed the Heavenly Emperor to conquer the Nine Heavens. However, for some reason, those images quickly shattered and transformed into another scene.

Inside the portal was a dilapidated ancient hall. Although only ruins remained, the hall still gave people a sense of vastness and desolation. Among the rubble, the words "Lingxiao" could be faintly seen.
Before the hall, a figure dressed in white court robes floated above, radiating a vast light that seemed to exude endless majesty.
"Heavenly Emperor..."
Before she died, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden opened her eyes and vaguely saw that figure, and subconsciously murmured.
"Sinking forward?"
Erlang Shen, who was fleeing in a disheveled state, spoke at the same time, but with a completely different tone of horror.
