Chapter 255

"This world's Hun Tian Yi seems to have no experience dealing with peers."

Huo gazed slowly at the jagged crack upon the Beast God Realm.

Can you really block the Sword Sovereign's blade?

Even Xuan dared only banish the sword slashes the Sword Sovereign unleashed.

Truly, ignorance breeds fearlessness.

After shaking his head slightly, Huo also entered the Beast God Realm.

His earlier probe was effortlessly dispelled by this world's Hun Tian Yi; Brother Dao's claim that it is amplified within the Beast God Realm must be true.

But if it's Kui, he should be able to handle it.

But who would fight one-on-one if they could gang up?

"Let's both go in," Master Mei Zu said to Bie Xuening.

Yet Bie Xuening glanced at her once, then transformed into a blade of light and surged inside.

"..."

Back in the lab, she grabbed me and dragged me along—now she's acting disdainful!

After mentally grumbling a few times, Master Mei Zu looked at Xiang Yuanjun.

She was currently using karmic threads to capture the purple blood dripping from Hun Tian Yi's wound.

"Go ahead—I'll follow shortly," Xiang Yuanjun smiled lightly.

Hearing this, Master Mei Zu said nothing more and entered the Beast God Realm through the crack.

After all, such immensely powerful worlds have time flows that already influence nearby realms, so there was no need to worry Xiang Yuanjun would be delayed long.

Once all four had entered the Beast God Realm.

Drifting karmic threads bound a purple blood droplet on the verge of dissolving and lifted it before Xiang Yuanjun.

Fine threads, seemingly illusory, densely intertwined around the blood—gemlike, radiating nobility—creating a strange connection stretching far away.

The severed palm had vanished instantly; clearly, this world's Hun Tian Yi knew to conceal its traces—but…

'Indeed, this world's Hun Tian Yi seems to have no experience dealing with peers.'

This makes things much easier.

…………

Within the Beast God Realm.

Infinite heights, beyond perception.

A figure was blasted backward, tumbling into the ceaseless river of time.

"Outsider."

Above, Hun Tian Yi—with one purple eye and one black eye—looked down upon Kui, sprawled in the river of time; overlapping voices echoed.

"You're nowhere near as good as the last one!"

Kui's expression remained unchanged, his eyes still dead still.

He rose slowly, his voice devoid of any inflection: "I naturally cannot match Brother Dao."

Boom!

A thunderous explosion—Hun Tian Yi's entire head burst open, thick ink-black fluid spreading.

Kui immediately raised his obsidian great bow, yet did not draw an arrow—instead, he simply drew the string.

Huhuh~!

Streams of strange silver-gray energy coalesced into an arrow glowing brilliant silver, inscribed with mysterious runes.

Hun Tian Yi had already regenerated; seeing this, it was startled and sought to evade.

Yet just as it was about to move, it hesitated.

'Just now, I somehow fell for this outsider's trick—if I dodge now, will I be playing right into his scheme?'

'Could this arrow merely be meant to force me to dodge?'

'After all, there are five of them—some of their strange techniques may be beyond my understanding.'

'If that killing sword strikes again, will I truly be wounded?'

The thoughts of a True Immortal are swift.

In a fleeting instant, countless thoughts flashed through.

Yet even an instant is enough.

Shhh!

A flash of silver vanished. Hun Tian Yi finally reacted—but it was too late!

The silver arrow, inscribed with runes, after leaving the string, appeared without warning and drove straight into Hun Tian Yi's Beast God and its Heavenly Will.

One arrow, yet struck two targets simultaneously.

What sounded impossible had truly occurred at this moment.

"Cut!"

Wengwengweng~!

A savage, pure supreme killing sword slashed from behind; Hun Tian Yi sought to evade, yet hesitation arose again.

Damn it!

After all, it is an entity equal to Immortals and Ancestors—if it still fails to sense something is wrong, it has truly cultivated into a dog!

Reaction came, but evasion was already too late.

Hun Tian Yi, whose head had just regenerated, was once again cleaved apart by this sword, dissolving into an immensely vast shadow.

"Aaaah—!"

The agony of his essence being worn away by the killing swordlight finally forced him to scream.

Yet Qui lowered his great bow, stamped his foot, and raised his right hand.

His form did not change, yet his aura surged infinitely within a billionth of an instant!

His right palm flipped and slammed down!

Boom—!

It was as if the Shen Mountain of Bu Zhou had fallen from heaven, crushing down upon all.

The glorious martial will shook the entire cosmos.

Qui, the Martial Immortal!

In direct combat, he was no less than the Tyrant Sovereign!

The vast shadow seemed boundless as the universe; Qui appeared as a speck of dust.

Yet now, the speck crushed the universe; the dust surpassed the boundless!

Everything seemed frozen at this moment!

Just a breath later, the immense shadow caved inward, finally returning to its former shape as it flew backward, lying on its back.

Impossible!

Hun Tian Yi was filled with terror!

How could a being capable of delivering such a palm strike have been easily knocked flying by him before?!

"Of course, to lure you into the trap, fool."

A mocking voice echoed within his mind.

Trapped?!

No good!

Must flee!

With this thought, Hun Tian Yi's form instantly dissolved into countless ink-black shadows, slipping into the myriad laws and ways of the Beast God Realm to escape.

Qui raised his hand and punched several times, erasing a few shadows.

Several red threads also drifted over, moving slightly as if in token gesture.

Bie Xuening didn't even bother pretending—she let him escape.

Hun Tian Yi, preoccupied with fleeing, failed to notice that the silver rune arrow had, through his splitting escape, become fully fused with him.

"Hey, Sword Sovereign, you could've cut a few more times at least!"

Master Mei Zu strolled down from above, smiling with captivating charm.

Bie Xuening ignored her, gazing instead at the world's rift she had previously carved.

Master Mei Zu paid no mind, sauntering over to her side with a grin.

Soon after, Xiang Yuanjun, gentle and ethereal, her eyes veiled in white gauze, glided forward.

"How much longer?" Bie Xuening asked directly.

"Soon. This realm's Hun Tian Yi is far weaker than that of the Tai Xuan Realm," Xiang Yuanjun said, winding a thread of cause and effect around her finger. "We can first resolve the plight of this realm's human race."

Dealing with this Hun Tian Yi is not difficult.

But we must use him as a catalyst to extract all remaining fragments of this realm's Hun Tian Yi from the Beast God Realm itself.

To encompass every last part—even a True Immortal requires time.

"Thank you, friend," Qui's voice remained lifeless.

After those words, he turned and left once more, entering the real world of the Beast God Realm.

"Rare indeed—Qui actually took initiative," Master Mei Zu sighed.

"He must have seen the suffering of this realm's human race, and remembered what happened back then," Xiang Yuanjun added.

He failed to shoulder the responsibility he should have borne; he failed to protect the ones he wished to guard; his elder brother nearly perished because of it…

Though later, his elder brother himself said he need not care.

But how could one truly forget all that had happened?

Qui could not let go—otherwise, such a peerless Martial Immortal would not have remained confined to one place, merely seeking to protect the human race's Dao foundation. (End of Chapter)
