The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and the Queen Mother of the West, a master and disciple with a deep bond, looked up at the sky and glared hatefully at the Sage Zhunti.
The Sage Zhunti did not take this to heart.
The next instant, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden leaped up, enveloped in a ball of immortal light, and pounced towards the Sage Zhunti.
Filled with grief over the fall of her teacher, the Queen Mother of the West, and resentment towards the enemy, she decided to step forward and avenge her teacher, even at the cost of her life.
Sage Zhunti chuckled. In his view, although the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was an ant, she was still commendable for her courage.
However, he won't show any mercy.
A hint of indifference flashed in his eyes. With a flick of his finger, a bolt of lightning shot out, reaching the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden in an instant.
The lightning exploded with a deafening roar.
A powerful surge of lightning spread out, distorting the surrounding space.
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden had no time to dodge and could only watch helplessly as the lightning struck her.
"ah……"
A piercing scream rang out from the sky.
The body of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was struck by lightning and instantly burned to a crisp, emitting a pungent, burnt smell.
Her skin was burned and cracked, and blood gushed from the wounds, staining the surrounding air red.
In the blink of an eye, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was blasted into dust by the lightning, and scattered by the wind.
Then, the celestial light vanished without a trace in the lightning, as if it had never existed.
The whole process happened so fast that the people below didn't have time to react.
By the time they came to their senses, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden had already vanished.
Upon seeing this, Lu Wu and the others below turned pale.
"Walk!"
With a clear shout from Lu Ya Dao Ren, his figure transformed into a streak of rainbow light and flew away towards the heavens like lightning.
The immortals, including Lu Wu and Bi Fang, also seemed to awaken from their dream, and they all used their supernatural powers to transform into various colored lights and flee in all directions.
Upon seeing this, the Sage Zhunti smiled slightly.
He did not pursue them personally, but instead swung the Seven Treasures Tree in his hand again, unleashing a dazzling seven-colored ray of light.
The rosy light resembled a giant, colorful dragon, roaring as it soared into the sky.
In the blink of an eye, the rosy light burst open and quickly spread across the entire world, turning the West Kunlun Cave Heaven into a magnificent ocean of light.
Before the immortals Lu Wu, Bi Fang, and others could escape from the West Kunlun Grotto, they were swallowed up by this seven-colored radiance.
They struggled desperately in the glow of the sunset, but to no avail, and soon disappeared into it.
At this moment, the entire world was enveloped by this seven-colored radiance, becoming vibrant and colorful.
The rosy light trembled incessantly, emitting a series of enormous, surging sounds.
Immediately afterwards, a series of shrill screams emanated from the glow of the sunset, rising and falling, sending chills down one's spine.
But after only a few breaths, the screams stopped abruptly, as if everything had ended.
Clearly, Lu Wu, Bi Fang, and other immortals had all perished in this seven-colored radiance.
This radiant light continued to release powerful energy, distorting and warping the surrounding void...
With a gentle wave of his Seven Treasures Tree, the Sage Zhunti caused every ray of light that filled the world to fade away and gradually disappear into nothingness.
At the same time, the landscapes of mountains, rivers, bamboo, rocks, grass and trees have reappeared.
Surprisingly, these landscapes were not damaged in the slightest despite being bathed in the glow of the sunset.
Just as the rosy glow was fading, a rainbow suddenly shot into the sky at great speed. In just a flash, it had already escaped from the West Kunlun Grotto.
"Well done, Lu Ya!"
Sage Zhunti's eyes flickered slightly, instantly catching sight of the rainbow light and recognizing its identity.
Only after Lu Ya had completely disappeared into the horizon did he calmly take a step, and then his entire body vanished into the sky...
After escaping from the West Kunlun Cave Heaven, Lu Ya looked back and saw that the Sage Zhunti had not pursued him, which made him feel slightly relieved.
But he dared not linger for a moment and continued to flee towards the outside of Kunlun Mountain.
However, just as he flew out of Kunlun Mountain, a faint ripple suddenly appeared in the space in front of him, and then, the Sage Zhunti stepped out from the void.
With his path blocked, Lu Ya Daoist hurriedly stopped in mid-air.
A bitter smile appeared on his face. He bowed deeply to the Sage Zhunti and begged for mercy: "I beg the Master to spare my life."
Sage Zhunti shook his head and said, "You were destined to be on the Investiture of the Gods list. Even as a sage, I cannot spare you."
Lu Ya Daoist's face grew increasingly grim, and he said stiffly, "So, the Sect Leader is truly unwilling to compromise?"
The Sage Zhunti still shook his head.
"Just obey, there's no need to ask again."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ya Dao Ren stopped begging for mercy and suddenly produced a red gourd in his hand.
"Since the leader is being so aggressive, then you can't blame me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he lifted the gourd lid, and a white light, like a thread, rose into the air, revealing a seven-and-a-half-inch object that lay horizontally on top of the white light, with eyes and wings.
Two beams of white light shot from the eyes of that thing, and in the darkness, they fixed the primordial spirit of the Sage Zhunti.
Lu Ya then bowed to the gourd and said, "My darling, please turn around."
The object spun three times, but Zhunti's head still didn't fall...
This treasure is called the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife.
It was created by Lu Ya Dao Ren using the innate gourd as a foundation, gathering the essence of the sun and moon, seizing the finest energy of heaven and earth, and reversing the five elements to refine it.
When this treasure is fully crafted, it will form a flying knife, as white as yellow sprouts and as a sliver of light, hidden within the red gourd.
When encountering an enemy, simply lift the gourd lid, and a ray of white light will immediately rise from inside.
Above the white light hung an object, seven inches long, with eyebrows and eyes, two beams of white light in its eyes, capable of nailing the primordial spirit in the Niwan Palace of humans, immortals, demons, and monsters.
Even if things change, you cannot escape.
The white light on top, like a windmill turning, only turned once or twice before its head naturally fell to the ground.
However, what he encountered at this moment was a Primordial Saint, whom no Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife could kill.
The object spun three or four times, but the head of the saint Zhunti never fell to the ground.
Sage Zhunti looked at Daoist Lu Ya with a half-smile, his eyes seemingly full of mockery.
His primordial spirit possessed the wonder of immortality and indestructibility, contained the power of the Heavenly Dao, and had the mysteries of encroaching upon the sun, moon, and stars.
Its appearance and reality are ever-changing, and it is not within the Three Realms, nor outside the Five Elements. How could a mere Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife possibly hold it still?
Lu Ya Daoist's expression changed, realizing that he had suffered a major setback this time.
But he dared not linger, so he put away the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife and turned to flee.
"Trying to run?"
Sage Zhunti sneered, waved his hand, and a golden light flashed, tightly trapping Daoist Lu Ya.
"Let me go!"
Lu Ya Daoist roared, trying to break free of his restraints.
But the magical powers and supernatural abilities of the Sage Zhunti were so profound that he was completely unable to move an inch.
Sage Zhunti slowly walked up to Daoist Lu Ya, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
"You're nothing but a tiny bead the size of a grain of rice, yet you dare to shine?!"
Lu Ya Dao Ren sighed inwardly, "Alas! It really is no use... Today my life is about to end..."
