Chapter 1743: The Pillars of Destruction and Troubled Times

Yuan Zhi gulped. He no longer had the bearing and air of a Great Dao Saint, and his arrogance had completely disappeared. He knew without a doubt he was no match for the duo in front of him. The duo’s performance during the commanders’ competition was too terrifying, and their strength was close to a lesser supreme being.

The air at the upper core of the Pillar of Destruction was so heavy that it was difficult to breathe at this moment.

Yuan Zhi steeled himself and said solemnly, “Your cultivation is profound, and I admire you. However, this is Rou Zhao Hall’s matter and has nothing to do with you. If you don’t want to cause a dispute between the ten halls, it’s best if you don’t interfere in this matter.”

As soon as Yuan Zhi’s voice fell, Yu Shangrong’s Longevity Sword, which had just been sheathed, flew out with a swoosh. An energy sword that was tens of feet long appeared immediately.

As soon as Yuan Zhi heard the swooshing noise, he felt the approach of a fatal danger. His many years of combat experience spurred him to retreat instinctively. Then, he quickly pushed his hand out and held his astrolabe in front of him.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Just as Yuan Zhi expected, the energy sword shot toward him with a speed that could not be captured. The energy sword struck his astrolabe repeatedly, forcing him back 300 feet, 3,000 feet, and he was still retreating.

“Commander!” the cultivators of Rou Zhao Hall cried out, alarmed.

Just as the other Dao Saint was about to make a move, Yu Zhenghai said, “Whoever dares to make a move will be killed without mercy.”

Everyone stopped talking and moving out of fear. Who would dare to step forward and help Yuan Zhi at this time?

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of the energy sword striking Yuan Zhi’s astrolabe continued to reverberate in the upper core of the Pillar of Destruction at Rou Zhao Hall.

The others could only silently watch the one-sided battle.

Yuan Zhi’s astrolabe could no longer withstand the tyrannical power of Yu Shangrong’s sword strike. His eyes widened, and his heart pounded in his chest. Just as he was debating if he should put his astrolabe away to avoid further damage…

Yu Shangrong said, “Isn’t it too late for you to think about putting your astrolabe away now?”

‘Huh?’

Yuan Zhi looked at Yu Shangrong’s Longevity Sword, and it took him a moment before he saw a circle of golden leaves at the tip of the sword. Then, he exclaimed in shock, “17 leaves?!”

Swoosh!

With the help of the lotus leaves, the Longevity Sword shot out and pierced Yuan Zhi’s astrolabe with a force that could shatter space. Faced with the 17 leaves, the laws were useless.

Then, light burst forth in the sky as a Primal Qi storm appeared.

Yuan Zhi cried out; he had lost a Birth Chart. His strong desire to survive made him lose his mind, and he roared, “I’ll kill you!”

While the Primal Qi storm raged, Yuan Zhi endured the intense pain and the chaotic Primal Qi that was flowing in reverse in his meridians as he attacked in a frenzy, unleashing countless energy seals.

“Snowy Mountain! Traceless Sword!” Yu Shangrong brandished his sword again. His speed was so fast that it was impossible for everyone to gauge his exact speed.

Everyone watched as the energy swords formed a golden sphere around Yu Shangrong.

“Primal Restoration!” Yu Shangrong joined his palms together.

A thunderous noise rang in the air as the energy swords closed around Yu Shangrong and the Longevity Sword shot and pierced through Yuan Zhi’s protective energy.

Yuan Zhi threw up blood violently before a bloody hole appeared on his chest. Blood gushed out the wound, and his eyes widened, filled with resentment and unwillingness.

Yu Shangrong’s back was facing Yuan Zhi, and his right hand was raised, holding the Longevity Sword.

The energy swords had already disappeared, and the sun glinted off the Longevity Sword,

The Primal Qi storm continued to wreak havoc briefly before it finally dissipated.

There was no need to continue fighting.

Yuan Zhi had already suffered heavy injuries. These injuries would continue to devour his vitality energy and Birth Charts until he died.

The blood one-sided battle terrified the cultivators of Rou Zhao Hall, and they retreated one after another. Even Yuan Zhi was no match for the other party, let alone them.

At this time, Yu Shangrong opened his right hand and said, “Return to the sheath.”

Swoosh!

The Longevity Sword flew back into the sheath.

At the same time, the 17 faintly discernible leaves slashing at Yuan Zhi, cutting his vital points, flew back toward Yu Shangrong and disappeared from sight.

Everyone watched as Yuan Zhi plummeted to the ground, dumbfounded.

“…”

Still, no one dared to move. They were afraid Yu Zhenghai would kill them.

Suddenly, the Dao Saint from Rou Zhao Hall fell to his knees and began to beg for mercy without hesitation.

“Mercy!”

Yu Zhenghai only glanced at the others briefly before he ignored them.

Yu Shangrong flashed and returned to his original position.

Ye Tianxin bowed to her senior brothers and said, “Tianxin thanks senior brother. If it weren’t for your senior brothers’ help today, I’d be in trouble.”

Yu Shangrong smiled faintly and said, “Junior sister, there’s no need to be so polite. It was Seventh Junior Brother who told us to help you.”

“Seventh Junior Brother?” Ye Tianxin was puzzled. Then, she added, “Qi Sheng?”

“That’s right.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.”

Ye Tianxin was overjoyed. “I’ve always suspected it was him, but I didn’t expect it to be true! Where is he now?”

“He’s cultivating and resting in the Evil Sky Pavilion. He’ll be back soon,” Yu Shangrong replied.

Ye Tianxin nodded. Then, she looked at Yuan Zhi and said, “Do you think we’re too heavy-handed?”

Yu Zhenghai said, “We can’t show mercy to this kind of people. Seventh Junior Brother has said that he must die.”

“What’s the reason?”

“Seventh Junior Brother’s words are reason enough,” Yu Zhenghai said.

“…”

Ye Tianxin thought that her Eldest Senior Brother was quite strange today. ‘In any case, since he’s already dead, there’s no point in saying anything else.’

Yu Zhenghai said, “Enter the upper core.”

“Alright.” Ye Tianxin nodded. She bowed at the duo before she flew to the entrance of the upper core.

Yu Zhenghai looked at the cultivators from Rou Zhao Hall and said, “If anyone dares to move, I’ll kill them.”

Everyone trembled, not daring to move.

Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong stood side by side as they watched Ye Tianxin disappear into the upper core.

…

As soon as Ye Tianxin entered the upper core of the Pillar of Destruction, the entire place turned pitch-black, and the entrance seemed to have closed behind her.

Ye Tianxin looked around and sensed the extremely rich Great Void energy up in the air. There was also a faint fragrance that permeated the air in the upper core.

The place seemed to be teeming with vitality; it was just that there was no sunlight.

Ye Tianxin was still at a loss over what to do when streaks of light appeared in the darkness.

The sun, the moon, and the stars that were like rivers and mountains appeared. It was like the vast galaxy with no end in sight.

…

In the Unknown Land.

Xieqia’s Pillar of Destruction continued to show signs of collapsing with no power of earth to mend it.

Boom!

Everyone felt the vibration from the Pillar of Destruction that rippled out from a radius of 100 miles to 1,000 miles to 10,000 miles.

The indescribable energy swept out and engulfed the fierce beasts and plants in and near Xieqia.

The earth shook, and the mountains shook along with it, causing rocks to tumble down. There were also many mountains that collapsed. The rivers surged and overflowed.

Rumble!

…

The commotion caused the Great Void to panic.

During the past 100,000 years, all the cultivators, old and young, had never witnessed such a scene. No one knew what would happen if the Great Void truly fell.

Would humans cease to exist? Would heaven and earth cease to exist?

…

In the Sacred Temple.

Ming Xin hovered in the sky with his hands on his back. His expression was calm, and no hints of concern could be seen on his face at all. He looked at the Scales of Justice in front of him as the earth shook. Then, he sighed softly and said to himself, “It’s been 100,000 years. I’ve tried my best. I hope the next era will give humanity a new life…”

…

The ten halls of the Great Void sent many cultivators to the Unknown Land.

The fierce beasts in the Unknown Land and the Great Void had begun to move at this moment. Even the beasts at Nine Peaks Mountain had left. They no longer followed the law of balance and began to attack humans.

It did not take long for blood to rain down on the Unknown Land.

Due to the narrow and distant passages that connected the nine domains to the Unknown Land, the nine domains were relatively safe.

…

Rou Zhao Hall’s upper core of the Pillar of Destruction.

A beam of light shot up into the sky.

At this moment, the shaking earth finally caused the upper core to crack.

The web-like cracks stunned everyone.

Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong glanced at the upper core before Yu Zhenghai said, “Rou Zhao’s upper core is about to collapse.”

“Xieqia’s Pillar of Destruction should have already collapsed…”

“Junior sister should’ve succeeded,” Yu Zhenghai said.

The duo nodded.

At this moment, a Templar from the Sacred Temple suddenly showed up and said loudly, “His Majesty has ordered that anyone who stops Ye Tianxin from comprehending the Great Dao will be heavily punished!”

Yu Shangrong glanced at the Templar and said, “Thank you for your good intentions, but everything is going smoothly.”

The Templar glanced at the cracking upper core and the beam of light that shot into the sky before he cupped his fists together and said, “That’s good. I’ll return to report to His Majesty immediately.”

“Go ahead.”

The Templar flashed and left very quickly.

At the moment the beam of light disappeared…

Boom!

The upper core shattered into pieces. It was reduced to a pile of rocks in just a moment. The rubble and debris flew up in the air from the great force.

Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong quickly used their energy sabers and energy swords respectively to repel the flying rubble and debris.

Meanwhile, the cultivators from Rou Zhao Hall were sent flying. Some of them died, and some of them were injured. Only a few of them managed to block the flying debris, rubble, and rocks. Even Rou Zhao Hall’s flying chariot was quickly shattered.

When things finally calmed down, everyone saw the white-clad Ye Tianxin hovering in the air with her arms spread out. Specks of starlight shone around her, and she looked otherworldly, untainted by the mortal world. At the same time, a strange energy surged faintly around her. Clearly, her aura and cultivation had undergone an earth-shattering change. In her Dantian’s sea of Qi, the Great Void Seed was emitting a rich green light.

“It’s done.”
