An invisible ripple surged outward from the point of collision, crushing space into dust wherever it passed. Mountains and rocks crumbled, rivers dried up, the earth cracked, and all vegetation vanished. From the far north outward, the land of the eight states—Qizhou, Mingzhou, Chaozhou, Xiangzhou…—shattered like a spider's web.
All the cultivators guarding the Far North cast barriers to resist the onslaught, but they were still swept hundreds of miles away, out of the Desolate Mountain area. Even the most advanced cultivator, Du Jue Tian Lao, was caught off guard and thrown back, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Among the people present, several cultivators from the Bai family fainted on the spot because their strength was not enough to cross the tribulation stage.
At that moment, the golden dragon roared and charged towards Li Xiuchen, who was at the center of the Primordial God-Slaying Formation. It whipped its long tail, summoning a thousand gusts of wind. As these gusts of wind were about to reach Li Xiuchen, no one paid any attention, for the golden dragon had attacked like this a million times before. But this time, before everyone's horrified gaze, a single roar erupted!
The golden dragon's long tail hit Li Xiuchen hard, breaking his spine and shattering his dantian!
This time, there was no heavenly thunder to block or protect!
Li Xiuchen also stared at the golden dragon phantom with eyes wide open, in disbelief. Just as he was about to speak, a violent gust of wind arrived, shattering his sea of consciousness. The light in his eyes faded, and even as he died, he wore a look of shock, as if he couldn't understand why he had died so suddenly.
Li Xiuchen naturally didn't know that at this moment, in the sky nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine feet high, two blue lotuses collided, and everything was silent. Everything seemed to be stilled by someone. Luo Jianqing grasped Jiulian's sword and slashed at Jiulian's sword light.
“Crack—”
A blue lotus cracked open.
Blood flowed from Luo Jianqing's lips. He gritted his teeth and tightened the sword in his hand.
But the next moment——
boom!
The green lotus in front of Jiulian suddenly shattered!
Luo Jianqing's eyes lit up, and with a tap of his toes, a sword pierced Jiulian's chest and passed through her heart!
Jiulian lowered her head in shock, staring at the sword that had pierced her. The sword trembled gently, as if weeping, yet simultaneously resigned and grateful. It was Jiulian's natal sword, yet now, it had pierced its master's heart. Jiulian's blood stained its body, like drops of tears, yet it still allowed Luo Jianqing to pierce Jiulian's heart, even with a hint of impatience.
In this world, is there any natal sword that would willingly pierce its master's heart!
It is the first and only one.
Luo Jianqing slowly loosened his grip, not drawing the sword. But as he watched, Jiulian slowly raised her hand and touched the hilt. The sword suddenly trembled, emitting a humming sound. Jiulian lowered her head, the blood from her mouth continuously dripping onto the sword, staining it red.
After a long time, he raised his head and looked at Luo Jianqing.
A faint smile appeared on this unparalleled handsome face, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. Even though blood continued to flow from his mouth, his smile was very gentle. There was neither the sadness and helplessness of obsession nor the arrogance and indulgence of the previous Jiulian. He looked at Luo Jianqing with the eyes of a junior, with gratitude and expectation.
Jiulian opened his mouth and vomited a large mouthful of blood. He said in a hoarse voice, "You did it."
Luo Jianqing bowed and said calmly, "Yes."
"More than a hundred years ago, when you first opened the jade token, I never thought you would be able to do it."
Luo Jianqing was calm and composed: "If I knew that I would lose so much by going this far, I might not have opened the jade token."
Jiulian shook her head at first, then nodded slightly. "No matter what, you did it. You're right. If you don't take me, how can you take over the heavens? I've never figured out how humans can become the heavens. If you want to take over the heavens, you must abandon everything: human memories, human emotions, everything that belongs to humans. I can't do that, so I can't take over the heavens. But if you really want to continue, you'll really have nothing. Are you really willing?"
Luo Jianqing's expression remained unchanged, as if he had lost all emotion. His voice was icy cold: "If I don't seize the sky, how can I change it?"
Jiulian was slightly stunned, and finally laughed softly.
"Yes, you have to change this day and make the Xuantian Continent, which belongs to us, truly belong to us."
Luo Jianqing calmly looked at Jiulian, only glancing once more before turning and leaving. The moment he turned, with a resounding bang, Jiulian's body suddenly shattered into countless fragments, vanishing forever from the world. The sword that had been stuck in his heart immediately fell to the ground, trembling violently, but no one ever picked it up.
Luo Jianqing had a grim expression, as if he didn't hear the sword's cry behind him. He raised his foot, and when he stepped down, he left the dark road.
Everything that belonged to 30,000 years ago finally vanished into thin air just now, and was buried in history.
Before my eyes is a universe filled with stars.
Countless stars are constantly twinkling in this dark world, emitting light that is either brilliant or faint.
Luo Jianqing stood in this place surrounded by starlight. He looked up and saw a star covered with green plants. He looked down at the ground and saw a star without any trace of cultivators, only ordinary people living diligently.
Luo Jianqing took a step forward, walking in this vast universe. He walked like this, and he didn't know how long he walked. Perhaps it was a day, perhaps a month, perhaps a year. He finally stopped and looked at a star, silent.
