Great Secret Realm——
Boom boom boom!
Under the blood-red sky, the sound of bones exploding came from deep in the rift valley.
The entire secret realm was shaking under the impact of the terrifying demonic energy.
A ten-foot-tall skeleton monster tore through the mountain wall and climbed into the abyss. Its bony skeleton was covered in blood and minced meat, and the corpses of monks were stuck between its ribs.
However, the bones were covered with numerous sword marks, showing how fierce the previous battle was.
"Old man from the Holy Land! I am hiding in this great secret realm, do you want to kill me immediately?"
Zhang Yibai did not answer. The Zhenwu Yin-Yang double swords in his hands hummed and trembled, and the sword light rolled towards the left leg joint of the White Bone Demon like a tide.
"Break!" With a cold shout, the white leg bones broke.
The Great Sage of Bones staggered and knelt in the boiling lava pool, his eyes blazing with fire, and he raised his head and roared, "I hate it! I hate it! I was only one step away from becoming a half-step demon fairy, and I was already hiding in this invisible secret realm to practice hard, but you three old dogs still wanted to come in and kill me, and you even took advantage of my seclusion to launch a sneak attack!"
"The Vajra subdues the devil!" Monk Fenye roared and leaped into the air, his bronze skin gleaming with a golden luster.
In his hand, he held the Nine-ring Tin Staff, and Buddha's light shone forth, transforming into nine golden hoops that encircled the White Bone Monkey King's neck.
The red Sanskrit words on the cassock separated from the cloth and condensed into thirty-two karma red lotuses in the air, which sizzled the demonic body of the White Bone Great Sage.
Immortal Yu Yao waved his wide sleeves lightly, and the icy needles turned into a dragon circling the battlefield.
The Yaochi Palace Master, who was known for her coldness and arrogance, rarely smiled as she spoke: "The Zhenwu Chongxu Sword Intention is indeed worthy of its reputation. If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Zhang who did his best to drive this Great Sage out of the ancient cemetery, I would have had a hard time seeing the vital point of this evil beast..."
Zhang Yibai saw that the White Bone Monkey King was trapped and at the end of his strength, and he felt relieved. His tense nerves relaxed at that moment.
However, before Master Yuyao finished speaking, a cold light suddenly burst out from his fingertips. The cold needles that were supposed to trap the White Bone Great Sage's icy soul instead rained down on Zhang Yibai's acupuncture points.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——!
The incident happened too quickly. Zhang Yibai retracted his sword the moment he sensed the danger and forcibly twisted the sword's momentum to protect his heart. All the Qi in his body flowed upstream along his meridians, and a sweet and fishy taste rose in his throat.
The Yin and Yang swords formed an impenetrable sword net in front of the body.
But the attacker was the Jade Yao Zhenren, the master of Yaochi Palace! This woman was at the Mahayana level just like him, and most of the cold needles were blocked, but seven still penetrated the sword net and pierced deeply into the Zong acupoint on his right shoulder.
At this moment, a gust of evil wind came from behind him. It turned out to be the monk Fenye who had been behind him without him knowing when, with a red swastika on his palm pressing on his vest!
Bang——!
A scarlet lotus blossomed behind Zhang Yibai.
The moon-white Taoist robe exploded, and the skin on the back was instantly torn!
“You guys——, pfft…cough cough cough…”
Zhang Yibai staggered to the ground on one knee, blood from the corner of his mouth dripping onto the sword blade, instantly evaporating into blood mist.
He raised his head suddenly and found that the White Bone Great Sage in the lava pool was disappearing silently. The dark blue ghost in his eye sockets turned into two snakes and obediently drilled into the sleeves of Jade Yao Zhenren.
The compassionate look on Monk Fenye's face fell off bit by bit, revealing his evil plan and smiling angrily: "Master Zhang, I wonder if you like the treasure that Master Yuyao and I have prepared for you?"
The red lotus ignited at his fingertips, burning through the last golden light that protected Zhang Yibai's body: "At first you didn't agree with our plan, and you even said something about being injured... Zhang Yibai, ah Zhang Yibai, you're going to collapse! What do you care about peace or not? We can't conspire with each other. In order for the plan to go smoothly later, we can only send you off!"
Immortal Yuyao landed on the ice crystals, and the jade hairpin suddenly turned into three blue swords.
The sword reflected the cold light in her eyes: "The flesh, blood and soul of a Mahayana cultivator, plus a spiritual treasure like the Zhenwu Sword, are enough to knock on the door."
There were two bronze soul lamps flying in her sleeves, one of which was the soul of the White Bone Great Sage, and the other was empty.
Apparently, the "coffin" had been prepared for Zhang Yibai long ago.
"So that's why. No wonder the Great Sage of Bones suddenly revealed his location a few years ago and deliberately kept himself in seclusion!" Zhang Yibai laughed bitterly.
He thought that the opportunity had come, and that he could kill the White Bone Great Sage to gain the power of merit and use it to comprehend the meaning of Chongxu Sword.
He originally wanted to keep it for himself, but Fen Ye and Yu Yao insisted on following him.
Well, then be generous and share with everyone.
I never thought... my death is approaching!
but……
The bloodstained five fingers suddenly stabbed into the chest, and with a bang, they crushed something.
Brilliant golden light burst out from the fingertips, and a magnificent Tai Chi picture appeared on the dome of the secret realm.
"It has been three hundred years since I comprehended the Yin Yang Chong Void Sword... but I have never used my soul as a sword to offer a sword that truly approaches the Yin Yang Dao!"
The ground shattered into an abyss under the terrifying pressure, and Zhang Yibai fell into the abyss, his torn Taoist robe rustling.
Suddenly, those tightly closed eyes opened.
One yin and one yang, one light and one dark.
The Tao flows in it.
"Today, I will use the Void Sword - Zhang Yibai will use this crippled body to send the two of you... to death!"
The blood-red sky suddenly split apart, and Zhang Yibai was hanging upside down above the abyss, his blood-stained white robe moving without wind.
The Zhenwu Sword hangs three inches in front of the eyebrows, and the body of the sword floats in the shape of the phantom of the Yin and Yang fish.
"After three years of meditation, I now know the meaning of Chongxu!"
He wiped the golden blood from the corner of his mouth with a low laugh, and when his fingertips passed across the sword's blade, his entire right arm suddenly ignited with black and white intertwined flames.
The burning patterns on Monk Fenye's chest twitched wildly, and his nine-ring tin staff melted into golden liquid before he could even raise it.
“Retreat quickly! This is…” Before he could finish his roar, Jade Yao Immortal's Ice Soul Cold Needle had been wiped out by an unknown force.
A Tai Chi formation with a diameter of more than 10 feet appeared under the feet of the two people, corresponding to the dome that had already been in the yin and yang colors.
The Yin fish surged with black mist that devoured vitality, while the Yang fish shone with brilliant light that pierced the void.
Zhang Yibai turned into a sword beam, and the secret realm began to twist and collapse with him as the center.
Wherever the Yin-Yang Void Sword passed, the space was like rice paper splashed with thick ink, and the chains of the rules made cracking sounds as they could not bear the heavy burden.
Fen Ye roared and tore open the flesh on his chest to dig out the Buddha's bone relic. Zhenren Yu Yao offered up his own life-saving magic weapon to resist, even at the cost of burning his essence and blood.
——This is the first time in many years that they have been forced to destroy their own foundations.
“Yin and Yang collide with emptiness, breaking delusion and revealing the truth!” The burning soul was poured into the sword blade, and the Zhenwu double swords turned into nothingness in the instant of stabbing.
There is no flash of sword, no clanging of sword.
Only the yin and yang rhythms play the sound of the beginning of chaos in the universe.
The moment the sword comes into view, time and space seem to be stretched into eternity.
Fen Ye saw his body experiencing decay and rebirth in the yin and yang energies, and his flesh and blood cycling back and forth between dry bones and infant states; the life-defining magic weapon of Jade Yao Zhenren burst into pieces, and her gradually aging face was reflected in the black ice.
Zhang Yibai's cold sneer rang in their ears.
"Wait for Zhang to see... What is the state of immortals above Mahayana like?"
Everything in the secret realm was completely annihilated in the black and white waves.
When the chaos in the void subsided, the mountains within a radius of thousands of miles were whittled into a smooth mirror, and all the grass, trees, and sand remained in the state of stillness when they were pierced by the sword energy. Fen Ye knelt in the center of the mirror, the right half of his body remained in the appearance of a young man, but the left half was already a dying old man. Yu Yao Zhenren was hanging upside down in the air a hundred feet high, his lower body merged with the ice crystals, and his black hair turned snowy.
"Ahem... Zhang Yibai, this old dog, he has realized it a long time ago..." The blood that Fen Ye vomited out turned into powder under the sword's will before it even hit the ground.
"He actually refined the way of reincarnation into the sword intent..." In the black ice, Master Yu Yao opened his eyes, looking grim.
Their foundations have been permanently eroded by the Void Sword Intent, and it will be difficult for them to make any further progress in this life.
Unless...reincarnation takes over!
"But it's good like this, now that Zhang Yibai is dead, no one can stop us anymore." Fen Ye stood on the mirror reflecting the sky, took a deep breath, and tore off the rotten half of his body without changing his expression, "We, should go back..."
Yu Yao Zhenren sat up from the black ice, her white hair slowly turning black, but her face was still old, she could only wear a veil to cover it up: "Let's wait until the secret realm is opened... It's a pity that in this great secret realm, the area within a radius of 100,000 miles has returned to silence, I don't know how much resources have been wasted."
…
At this time, the world of clouds.
An unknown deep pool suddenly began to boil, and an illusory sword shadow broke through the water.
The yin and yang energies entwine on the tip of the sword, and one can faintly see the faint beating of a soul.
…
…
How could I, the Great Emperor Zhenwu, die so easily?
