Chapter 1364: Fall Apart

Xue Wuye’s strike was filled with incredible skills of the Sword Way. Not only that, his speed, sharpness, penetration and more than ten Saintly Ways were combined together.

As he stabbed the sword out, cold light shone in all directions. The snow flying in the air trembled slightly.

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were decisive. Sword intent no weaker than Xue Wuye’s was unleashed from within him. He grasped the hilt of the Abyss Ancient Sword with both hands. Countless Rules of Saintly Way melted into the blade. He struck forward, clashing against Xue Wuye.

Boom, boom.

The two of them were both top geniuses of the Sword Way. They attacked extremely quickly. There were clearly only two people, but there were hundreds of afterimages. The Sword Qi was even denser. Like a sword sea, it filled the entire space, making them unapproachable.

Suddenly, time in that space paused. All the figures, Sword Qi, and snowflakes froze. Only one bright beam of sword light passed through the space.

“Oh no, the time sword.”

Xue Wuye’s eyes narrowed. His eyes were practically filled by the sword light. He hurriedly activated the time print on his palm and also performed a time sword move, facing the incoming sword light.

Xue Wuye’s left and right palms had the marks of time and space. Saint Monk Xumi had given them to him.

Poof!

The Abyss Ancient Sword stabbed through Xue Wuye’s body. At the same time, Xue Wuye’s sword also stabbed through Zhang Ruochen.

Blood flowed out of both of them.

Xue Wuye froze. He didn’t expect that Zhang Ruochen would rather hurt them both than move aside. Did he really no longer feel pain?

In that instant, Zhang Ruochen moved quickly. His fingers let go of the sword hilt and formed a palm print. He hit the Abyss Ancient Sword’s hilt with full power.

Crack.

The Abyss Ancient Sword sank fully into Xue Wuye’s body, all the way to the hilt. The power on the sword sent Xue Wuye flying out. He was nailed to the tall city wall by the Abyss Ancient Sword.

“Even Xue Wuye has lost.”

“Xue Wuye has never lost before. He’s already able to be tied with Monk Lidi. Plus, he defeated Sword Saint Wuji of the Immortal Vampires earlier. Even the Sword Emperor wasn’t much stronger than him at this age.”

“But Zhang Ruochen defeated him. He’s impossibly strong.”

…

Three Heirs in a row had been heavily injured. This scene was too shocking. Many people were dumbfounded. They started thinking that, perhaps, no one in this world was undefeatable. No matter how talented they were, they would fall one day.

And Zhang Ruochen was the one who kept overturning legends and defeating undefeatable people.

Because of him, the spotlights on the nine Heirs darkened.

The remaining Heirs realized that even if they were as strong as Zhang Ruochen, they couldn’t defeat him one-on-one.

“Okay, as expected of the Time and Space Descendant. I will challenge you!”

Gai Tianjiao’s voice was very brusque. She roared and activated the strength of her Extreme Yang Body. Burning power and golden light radiated from her.

From a distance, it looked as if a bright light was shining with fire. Her body contained destructive strength.

The muscles on her body were like red-hot pieces of metal. When she punched, there was a mass of sparks. Even the space was shaking.

Five-colored light poured out of Zhang Ruochen. He struck with a palm print, clashing with Gai Tianjiao’s burning fist. A heatwave rolled out.

On the other end, Sui Han stood tall outside the palace. He pulled out a six-foot-long guqin.

He set the guqin vertically on the ground. Sui Han held it with one hand, the other hand dancing on the strings.

Music notes flew from the strings, forming figures holding swords. They were filled with Sword Qi and attacked Zhang Ruochen like thousands of swordsmen.

At the same time, a mysterious shadow covered in a black robe grabbed a black wand and pointed in Zhang Ruochen’s direction.

Whoosh!

Instantly, Spiritual Qi wove together above Zhang Ruochen’s head, forming a circular formation.

The formation turned quickly. Rings of light rushed out of the formation, landing on Zhang Ruochen. With each ring that fell, Zhang Ruochen seemed to be under more pressure. His feet kept sinking into the ground.

Each music note from Sui Han that landed on Zhang Ruochen either left a sword wound or dented his body. His injuries kept worsening.

Three Heirs attacked at once, making it so that Zhang Ruochen was unable to move. He could only get hit.

“You still won’t surrender?”

Sui Han sighed and shook his head.

The next moment, many overlapping shadows appeared on his fingers. They pressed onto the instrument strings at the same time and played thousands of notes at once.

The thousands of music notes overlapped, resonating. A deafening sound was produced at once.

The guqin trembled. Sui Han’s hands trembled as well. Even his eardrums had shattered and blood trickled out of his ears.

The thousands of music notes formed a semi-transparent sword that was dozens of feet long. It spun halfway in the air and cut down suddenly at Zhang Ruochen’s head.

Everyone knew that this was the point that would determine Zhang Ruochen’s life or death.

Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath. His chest rose and fell sharply.

Boom!

Jingmie Divine Fire poured out of all 144 apertures on Zhang Ruochen’s body. In that instant, Gai Tianjiao’s arms were burnt to a crisp. Other than the bones, all the flesh turned to dust.

Gai Tianjiao had already completed her Extreme Yang Body. She was the least afraid of fire. Even Wuliang Divine Fire could burn her for three days and nights without hurting a hair.

But she was very badly hurt under the Jingmie Divine Fire.

The formation hovering above Zhang Ruochen was also burned by the fire and lost its power.

However, the huge sword formed by music notes wasn’t burned by the Jingmie Divine Fire. It was only three feet above Zhang Ruochen’s head.

“Change the world, Spatial Twist.”

Zhang Ruochen let out a scream and hugged the air. Spatial power surged out instantly. The space around the huge sword’s tip and hilt changed.

The sword tip that had been pointing at Zhang Ruochen became the hilt.

Even though it was music, it still couldn’t break free from space.

Zhang Ruochen pretended to hold the sword hilt. Using spatial power, he controlled the sword of sound waves and struck, cutting a circle. Sui Han, Mi Yingzi, and Gai Tianjiao were all in the circle and attacked.

Thud!

The guqin in Sui Han’s hands and the wand in Mi Yingzi’s hands broke at the same time. The next moment, all three of them spat out blood and flew back. Their bodies were broken in half.

Zhang Ruochen wasn’t much better than them. He was badly hurt, but the murderous intent in his eyes didn’t weaken at all. Instead, it grew stronger.

“Amitabha,” Monk Lidi uttered.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t even look at him. He just waved an arm and a spatial crack flew out.

Monk Lidi’s body flashed and moved horizontally. He avoided the spatial crack and advised, “You know it’s impossible, so why bother?”

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were like two demonic lights. They were red as blood. He clenched his hands into claws and pounced at Monk Lidi. At the same time, he pressed in the air.

The entire space crackled and popped. Hundreds of fissures appeared.

All the spatial cracks extended to Monk Lidi. They surrounded him, wanting to swallow him.

Monk Lidi closed his eyes and put his hands together. Thousands of ancient yet mysterious Buddhist words appeared on his body. Each one was filled with extreme power and shone with brilliant Buddhist light.

He uttered six words. “The Buddhist Way has no limits.”

In an instant, the world became extremely peaceful. The spatial cracks stopped extending toward him. The shreds of Buddhist light that shone from him entered the spatial cracks and actually filled them. The space turned smooth again.

At the same time, the figure of a huge Buddha appeared behind Monk Lidi. It radiated with mighty and divine Qi. He used a Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm to press down on Zhang Ruochen.

Buddhist light also shone from Zhang Ruochen’s Sea of Qi, shining on the world. He raised his hands. One hand had a dragon; the other had an elephant. He seemed to transform into a Taigu divine elephant and demonic dragon of the deep abyss. He forced his palms out.

They were both using Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palms.

One had the Buddha Golden Body; one had the Buddha’s sarira.

“Elephants Galloping.”

“Flying in the Sky.”

“Dragon and Elephant to the Sky.”

“Dragon Shadows.”

…

“Dragon and Elephant Divine Furnace.”

“Dragon Traveling Nine Days.”

The two went head-on, using the same moves. Monk Lidi had the Buddha Golden Body, which was known to be indestructible. Zhang Ruochen had the Natural Five Elements Chaotic Body, known as the strongest body.

Each clash was like two iron mountains crashing. The explosive sound was about to shake people’s hearts to shambles.

Zhang Ruochen’s injuries worsened. Even with his Natural Five Elements Chaotic Body, he couldn’t really take it anymore. Cracks appeared all over his body as if it were porcelain. He could shatter at any time.

Just then, Jingmie Divine Fire appeared between his cracks.

In the following clash, Monk Lidi’s hands would be burned red with every collision. Smoke rose up. If they kept going like this, the Buddha Golden Body might be destroyed by the Jingmie Divine Fire.

Once destroyed, the Buddha Golden Body would never be indestructible again.

Before, Monk Lidi had always been using his own power. The Buddha Golden Body was only a shell, an indestructible skin. Now, Monk Lidi had to borrow the Buddha Golden Body’s strength to defeat Zhang Ruochen.

In other words, he had to use the Buddha’s power.

“Amitabha!”

Monk Lidi opened his arms and flew into the sky. The runes on his body all turned into a Buddhist shadow. They flew from his body and hovered in the sky.

The area around the palace turned into a land of thousands of Buddhas. Vast chanting sounded.

Monk Lidi extended a hand and pressed down on Zhang Ruochen. At the same time, the thousands of Buddhas hovering in the sky also struck with a palm print.

Zhang Ruochen’s long hair was loose. A hurricane seemed to occur in his Sea of Qi. Holy Qi surged violently. The next moment, the power of the Universe World flooded out.

“Die!” Zhang Ruochen screamed. He pressed up to the sky.

Pop, pop.

Like bubbles, the Buddhas filling the air all collapsed, turning into shreds of Buddhist Qi. Monk Lidi also spat out blood. He was thrown back, hitting a city wall and going straight through it.

Zhang Ruochen stepped toward the palace door. His entire body was a bloody mess. Before him, only Huang Yanchen remained.

Huang Yanchen’s eyes were a bit red. Holding the Chaotic World Sword, she pointed it at Zhang Ruochen’s chest. “Zhang Ruochen,” she said, “do not go further. Once you enter the palace, the Empress will kill you.”

“If I continue, will you kill me?” Zhang Ruochen stopped walking.

His heart was pressed against the Chaotic World Sword’s tip.

Huang Yanchen’s hands trembled. “No… Don’t force me.”

“When you pointed your sword at my heart, did you ever think about how much my heart would hurt…”

Before Zhang Ruochen could finish, a huge palm force hit his back, pushing him forward suddenly.

Rip!

Zhang Ruochen seemed to hear a sword penetrating a heart.

The one who’d struck with the palm behind Zhang Ruochen was indeed Ouyang Huan, who hadn’t attacked the entire time.

Seeing Zhang Ruochen get stabbed by the Chaotic World Sword, Huang Yanchen was frightened too. Her almond eyes widened. She didn’t expect Ouyang Huan would attack at this time.

She was about to go support Zhang Ruochen, when extremely aggressive power exploded from his body. It transformed into energy ripples and sent Huang Yanchen and Ouyang Huan flying.

It was Xuanhuang Qi.

Zhang Ruochen entered the Xuanhuang Realm at that moment.

Zhang Ruochen stood under the palace door alone. Looking at the sword in his heart, he smiled bitterly. He looked over at Huang Yanchen, who’d fallen in the distance.

Grabbing the sword hilt, he pulled the Chaotic World Sword out. Blood spurted out of his chest, spattering on the palace door.

With an angry roar, Zhang Ruochen cut down. He cut down a section of his robe with a loud rip. “From now on, our relationship is over. You are no longer my wife.”

Zhang Ruochen tossed the Chaotic World Sword out. His eyes darkened and his Spiritual Qi scattered. No longer going forward, he turned and walked out of the city. He left only a lonely and depressing silhouette, and a trail of bloody footprints behind.

Crash.

The Chaotic World Sword landed before Huang Yanchen.
