Chapter 756: Surviving the Apocalypse
A thousand years later, the coastal area of the Sword Valley.
Xue Mu has been gone for a day and a night, and Xue Qingqiu and the others have also besieged Xu Jing for a day and a night.
Their situation was not as good as the dozen Daoists who besieged the True Evil a thousand years ago. They were so strong that they could even let Ji Hao and Meng Zhen really go out to do private work and then come back to fight.
There were too few of them. There were only three of them, and one of them, Wen Tian, had not yet been properly tempered, which was the same as having two and a half. It was really too much to expect them to trap a perfect True Evil. Fortunately, the Xushideng and Qiankending were tirelessly attacking, which was the equivalent of adding two more Daoists, and in addition, Xu Jing was not as powerful as he had been a thousand years ago, so they were barely able to trap Xu Jing.
Xue Qingqiu asked Tian Wenti at night that the three Daoists were better, but others like Yuan Zhong and Qin Wuye were almost fighting in despair. Daoists can be said to never run out of energy, at most they are mentally exhausted due to long-term high-intensity combat. Yuan Zhong and Qin Wuye, who have not yet reached the Dao, cannot keep up with the high-intensity combat losses, and the more they fight, the weaker they become.
Moreover, their abilities cannot harm the void, and they can only forcefully fill in the gaps and trap him, feeling that they cannot find hope in the battle.
Casualties were increasing, Yuan Zhong was injured, Mu Jianli was injured, and Ye Yingkong was injured. Fortunately, the injuries were not serious and they could still endure.
Everyone knows that continuing is not an option.
During this time, everyone was not just waiting for Xue Mu, but also experimenting with many methods.
Xia Hou Di controlled the Qian Kun Ding, and Yue Xiao Chan controlled the Xu Shi Ding. They each triggered the resonance of the Nine Cauldrons several times, but just like Xue Mu did before, the Nine Cauldrons attacked separately, not as one.
The key problem here is that Xue Qingqiu and the others have only been practicing the Dao for a short time, unlike Meng Zhen and the others, who had a clear understanding of the rules they were controlling and were accustomed to communicating with the laws of the universe and calling on the response of the Dao.
Xue Qingqiu and the others are still relatively more accustomed to acting on their own.
But people will eventually grow and gain more understanding through battle. Especially for a genius like Xue Qingqiu, after fighting for a day and a night, manipulating all kinds of rules with her hands and feet, her understanding became clearer and clearer.
“It seems that we can communicate with the laws of heaven and earth on our own, calling on the strongest strike of heaven and earth, and there is no need to rely on the tripod to achieve it.” Xue Qingqiu suddenly said this.
Yin Ye asked the sky at the same time, and then thoughtfully.
“The tripod is just a dead object, a manifestation of the laws of the universe, and can only rigidly display the laws of the universe. But the one who has mastered the Dao is the one who controls the laws. Perhaps we have too high expectations of the tripod.” Xue Qingqiu cut in front of Xu Jing, cutting off the space, and then suddenly retreated half a foot.
A burst of light radiated from her body, containing the ancient source of the law of the stars and moon, and it rose straight to the sky.
The nighttime epiphany, the breath of the night sky, rose up.
A huge Tai Chi rotated from the top of Wentian’s head and rushed to the sky.
Mu Jianli pointed her sword at the sky, and the shadow of an ancient sword slowly appeared. She had not yet reached the Dao, but she knew the source of the Dao in her heart. Even if she was weaker than those who had reached the Dao, her voice was enough to resonate with the Dao.
The flowers of the Chinese flowering ash suddenly bloomed, the light of the five elements merged into a pillar, the shadow of the trickster floated slowly, the roar of the dragon and tiger shook the heavens, the sound of the Buddha’s chanting echoed, and even the shape of the mechanical combination floated to the sky.
All the souls of the people communicated with the heavens and the earth at the same time, and they all said the same thing: “Invoke the power of heaven and earth to destroy evil and eliminate evil!”
The effects of the various schools of thought, which are not the same as those of a thousand years ago, are not much different. In the signal received by the heavens, it is the common call of the hundred schools of thought.
A dull echo drifts between heaven and earth, and everyone feels as if heaven and earth have opened their eyes.
In the nine different directions, there had always been a divine light that soared to the sky, and that was the result of the combined efforts of the various families. At this moment, it seemed that they had received some kind of call, and Xiaohou Diyue Xiaochan found that she could no longer control the tripod, and watched helplessly as it slowly rose to the sky.
All over China, the nine cauldrons flew up together, converging at a tremendous speed and colliding with a loud bang, exploding into a dazzling ball of light in the sky like the scorching sun, blinding Yue Xiaochan and the others.
The tripods are the manifestation of the heavenly Dao, and they draw on the power of the heavenly Dao. Naturally, they need to combine the nine pieces of the heavenly Dao to produce the greatest effect.
Once the dazzling divine light merged, it exploded, and there was no way to avoid it, as it slammed into Xu Jing’s forehead.
Xujing tried in vain to block it with the “Concealing the Heavens and Crossing the Sea” plate, but it was useless. It could not hide the heavens, nor could it cross the sea. The “Concealing the Heavens and Crossing the Sea” plate turned to ashes, and the divine light shot straight into his soul, exploding in his sea of consciousness and uniting with the evil spirit.
“Ahhh!” Xu Jing screamed in pain, as if something in his soul was about to explode. The true evil spirit and his own spirit, which had already become one and could not be separated, were about to be cut apart.
They were already inseparable, so how could they be divided?
The only way to separate is to completely destroy!
“Boom!” An energy explosion comparable to the power of the destruction of the world suddenly exploded in the center of the crowd.
The crowd was prepared, and a huge bell-shaped shield surrounded Xu Jing. It was surrounded by layers of ice, moonlight, Tai Chi, and soul energy fields, with all kinds of defenses stacked up inside.
“Pop…” All the combatants, including Xue Qingqiu, spurted blood and fell at the same time. They didn’t know how many miles they had been thrown, but the final explosion that could destroy the world did not finally disperse and cause harm to others nearby.
But that wasn’t the end. Countless waves of evil energy dispersed, rushing towards everyone.
“Oh no!” Xia Hou Di exclaimed. ”Without the tripod, we can’t purify the evil spirits. Be careful of possession!”
All the strong fighters had fallen, and even Xue Qingqiu was unable to come over to remove the evil spirits. How could Xia Houdi, Yue Xiaochan and the others?
Not to mention the people from Xu Wushu and the Natural Gate who were watching the battle from afar. They all looked ashen, watching helplessly as the evil spirits spread and rushed towards them.
At this moment, a shadow suddenly appeared in the center of the explosion.
The familiar Qiankun Ding, the familiar aura, stood at close range in the center of the evil aura.
The evil aura slowly weakened and disappeared, dissolving into smoke and vanishing into nothingness.
Everyone looked at the “World-Subduing Cauldron” that had appeared out of nowhere, but they realized that it was a human figure.
“Xue Mu!” Yue Xiaochan rushed over and hugged him tightly. ”You’re finally back…”
Xue Mu silently looked at the battlefield in a mess. Xue Qingqiu and the others, who had been blown away, had also stopped their movements and were floating in the distance, watching him.
Everyone’s faces were full of the surprise of having survived the disaster. The terrifying true evil seemed to have really disappeared, and even the last bit of evil had been completely suppressed by Xue Mu.
The coastline here has been battered for nearly 100 miles, and the waves gently wash the new coast, bringing a soothing rhythm. The smoke from the sky has dispersed, and the air is fresh again. The thunderstorms have disappeared, and the distant earthquake has also subsided.
It seemed like everything had been resolved…
Xuan Zhe Yun Qian Huang Li Yingqing lay on the beach in a four-pointed cross position. Li Yingqing’s battle doll had been destroyed, but he didn’t care at all. He just wanted to enjoy the joy of surviving the disaster.
Qin Wuye, Mo Xuexin, Ye Yingxiong, Xia Houdi, and all the others surrounded Xue Mu, all with smiles of joy on their faces.
Xue Mu let out a sigh. As expected, he didn’t need to tell them the solution. They found it themselves.
He stroked Yue Xiaochan’s hair and turned to look at Xue Qingqiu. He knew that the only genius who could lead this matter was Xue Qingqiu.
Xue Qingqiu smiled slightly: “It’s good to be back.”
Xue Mu said sincerely, “I thought I was going to be a bloody mess as a savior, but it turns out that you are the real heroes.”
Yin Ye floated over and asked, “Is the return of the nine cauldrons really unrelated to you? No, then why did you return when the nine cauldrons returned to the sky?”
Xue Mu hesitated, but whispered, “I don’t know if it’s related to me. I’m still confused about some things… but I know I still have unfinished business.”
Xue Qingqiu said, “Do you need our help?”
“I don’t know what to do for the time being.” Xue Mu’s expression was more serious than ever: ”Maybe this is a bit ridiculous, but for me right now, the most important thing is to return to the mountain first.”
“Why go back to the mountain?”
“I’m going to the Ancestor Shrine!”
