A girl in yellow saw the vines and roots coming at her and flew into the sky in a panic. She had only flown a few dozen feet when she was bumped by someone else who was also in a panic, and she fell to the ground in pain.
As she tried to get up, a vine pierced towards her like a sharp spear. The girl in yellow had no chance to dodge. As she closed her eyes and awaited death, she heard a sword cry and a long sword fell from the sky, severing the vine that was piercing her.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
Lightsabers rained down like a storm, sweeping away a large patch of raging vines.
Feng Chu stood high in the sky, his divine sense covering all directions, and streaks of sword energy burst forth from his fingertips. At the same time, Hua Yan, Chu Tian, and other experts all made their moves to sever the vines.
While leading his people to rescue his clansmen, the chieftain of the Wood Spirit Clan flew towards the Sacred Tree. He was certain that the riot at the Sacred Tree was the work of someone. Who was it?
Who wants to harm them?
————
After Ah Yao struck Lou Mu Nan with her sword, her divine sense witnessed everything that had happened in Qingyao Continent. In the blink of an eye, the beautiful Qingyao Continent had turned into a hellish place, filled with chaos, blood, and the sounds of weeping.
She angrily questioned the person who had started it all:
"Why do such cruel things? What is the meaning of torturing and killing weak creatures?"
In her past life, she had asked the Demon Lord Xuan Tian the same question, but he had not answered.
The black-haired, red-eyed man slowly flew into the sky, looking down at A-Yao, his voice icy:
“I hate everything in this world, everything in the heavens and the myriad realms makes me nauseous, so destroy them all. If you have the ability, come and stop me.”
A Yao's heart was filled with hatred and anger, while Lou Mu Nan's figure had already been blown away by the wind.
Ayao transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the sacred tree, continuously severing the rampaging vines along the way. Not only the sacred tree, but as it was corrupted, other spirit trees, and even the wood spirit race members, were also corrupted, losing their minds and transforming into demons.
Creatures shrouded in fear, enveloped in black mist, screamed and transformed into demons, frantically slaughtering their own relatives and kin.
A Yao spread her divine senses, searching for Luo Bai, but she couldn't find him.
Isn't he here?
She took out the Snow Phoenix Weeping Zither from her storage space, sat down on a high place, and began to play. She played an exorcism tune, and as her music began, pure immortal energy spread out in all directions like ripples. The black aura surrounding many people disappeared, and the terrified people calmed down.
Feng Chu, Hua Yan, and Chu Tian had all seen each other but did not come over. They used various supernatural powers to either cut down the vines or rescue the creatures here.
However, the sacred tree was so severely polluted that Ayao and the others were unable to stop the spread of the polluting power.
Just as A Yao was about to cut down the sacred tree, she heard the sound of a flute coming from afar. She used her divine sense to look towards the source of the sound and saw a small wooden boat on a large river in Qingyao Continent. On the small wooden boat stood a man dressed in white as snow.
The man in white, his silver hair fluttering in the wind, played a jade flute. His ethereal music seemed capable of purifying the entire world. The raging sacred tree quieted down, and the black aura swirling around it gradually dissipated.
“Luo Bai…”
Ah Yao softly called out the name, and sure enough, he was there.
Because of Luo Bai's intervention, the entire Qingyao Continent was saved. Feng Chu and the others floated in the sky, their gazes all curiously fixed on Luo Bai's direction.
————
The bright moon shone quietly on the earth, the river shimmered, and the white-clad man on the wooden boat continued to play his jade flute. His peerless figure was reflected in the water, and suddenly another person appeared in the reflected river.
A man with black hair and red eyes suddenly appeared at the stern of the wooden boat, his black robe fluttering in the wind.
Luo Bai stopped playing, and Lou Munan's voice sounded behind him:
"I heard you've been looking for me."
Luo Bai turned around, her snow-white robes fluttering in the wind.
The tranquil water reflected the moon, as well as the wooden boat on the water and the two figures on the boat.
The silver-haired, golden-eyed Dragon Emperor and the black-haired, red-eyed Demon Lord stood facing each other at the bow and stern of the ship. The wind blew, and flower petals danced in the air. Their faces were perfect, one with a gentle smile and the other with an icy expression.
The whole world seemed to be dead silent, with only the wind blowing quietly.
Luo Bai's smile remained unchanged, but a surging torrent was hidden deep within his golden eyes. Suddenly, an incomparably terrifying power erupted from his body, and almost simultaneously, Lou Munan also unleashed an equally terrifying magical power. They opened their own personal realms at the same time.
When Ayao arrived, both of them had already disappeared.
But in no time, the entire space suddenly shattered like a mirror, and a terrifying storm blew A Yao away, leveling all the surrounding mountains and rivers.
The moment A Yao was thrown away, she saw two beams of light shoot into the sky, instantly transporting her to the ancient stars. Countless stars in the outer realm were swept away by the two forces and turned into dust. The dazzling light illuminated the sky of the ancient realm, turning night into day.
The sounds of battle in the universe reached countless worlds, causing countless living beings to tremble with fear.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
Three streaks of light flew to A Yao's side.
"What... what's going on?" Feng Chu looked beyond the starry sky. He could no longer see Lou Munan and Luo Bai; they were already outside his divine sense.
"That was the Dragon Emperor, who was the other one?" Chu Tian asked A Yao. As a Celestial King, his divine sense was stronger than Hua Yan's and Feng Chu's, and he saw Lou Mu Nan and Luo Bai. The black-clad man with black hair and red eyes had only glanced at him, yet he felt his hands and feet trembling, and he couldn't shake off that feeling of unease.
Because Hua Yan's cultivation level was not as high as Chu Tian's, she only sensed Lou Mu Nan's terrifying aura but did not see Lou Mu Nan, which calmed her down considerably.
“Lou Munan,” A Yao said.
Hua Yan thought to herself: Lou Munan? Who is that?
"What?!" Feng Chu was shocked and extremely excited. "It was him? He's the one who orchestrated the riots here?"
Ayao nodded.
Thinking of his family and clansmen who died tragically more than 10,000 years ago, Feng Chu hated Lou Munan even more. Why did he do this? Why did he have to do such a cruel thing? His hands, hidden in his sleeves, clenched into fists.
————
The starry sky is collapsing, collapsing into nothingness.
In this void, black mist spread, transforming into countless pitch-black tentacles that tore the white-robed, golden-eyed man into countless pieces.
His flesh and blood fell like rain, and the black mist transformed into countless mouths, gaping maws filled with densely packed sharp teeth, which devoured his flesh and blood completely. Then, the black mist slowly contracted, like a receding tide, and surged back into the body of the black-haired, red-eyed demon lord.
"A clone..."
The Demon Lord snorted coldly.
Just as he was about to leave, this void transformed into a mirror world, with mirrors everywhere, even the space itself.
