The next instant, under the shroud of this seven-colored light and the eruption of the Immortal Art, his seven emotions and six desires were all churning!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were being extracted one by one, stripped away one by one!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When everything was stripped away, it would turn into a curse in the dark, branded upon his body, forming threads of emotional fluctuation, woven into the face of Yue Dong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that the scene happening to Chen Erniu at this moment was different from the performance on Xu Qing’s side!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qing’s threads of seven emotions and six desires... were finished being extracted very quickly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But here with Chen Erniu, his seven emotions and six desires seemed endless; no matter how Yue Dong’s Immortal Art operated, it could not be completely extracted in a short time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially his greed; after the other desires appeared to be on the verge of being extracted, this greed was like a bottomless pit, endless and inexhaustible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Dong’s expression changed again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One Xu Qing was already enough to make her feel it was thorny, and now she discovered that Chen Erniu was even more of a monster!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had never seen a cultivator whose greed was so intense; at this moment, she had used all her strength, but she could not extract it all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was too much!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A bit slow. You’re basically just scratching an itch, and yet you’re scratching with very little strength, leaving Laozi feeling neither here nor there!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Erniu was dissatisfied!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me help you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, he took a deep breath, raised his right hand, and slapped his chest hard. His eyes instantly revealed madness. In order to stimulate himself more realistically, Chen Erniu even took out the soul of Feng Litao, placed it in front of him, and stared at it fixedly. After fantasizing about the other party’s treasures, his greed surged instantly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a roar, it gushed out like a volcanic eruption!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that... his greed was too thick, actually exceeding the power of Yue Dong’s extraction, causing Yue Dong’s whole body to shake, spitting out blood, and her Immortal Art actually collapsed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of the backlash also followed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because it was Lan Yao who bore the karma, Lan Yao spat out blood, her body withered instantly, and while she was on the verge of death, Xu Qing’s attack also erupted with sharpness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Holy Heaven Pagoda was already extraordinary; its smashing made the Great Emperor’s formation rumble, and combined with Xu Qing’s Divine Authority and Divine Source, it continuously corroded it, until finally, his physical body became a weapon, and after several collisions!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Emperor’s formation finally emitted the sound of shattering!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Great Emperor’s formation was actually not complete; it had already consumed some power when sealing Feng Litao. Now, with Yue Dong suffering a backlash and her supporting power reduced, and under Xu Qing’s\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>bombardment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>amidst this sound of shattering, it was clear that it wouldn’t be long before it fell apart!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the critical moment of crisis, Yue Dong’s hair was disheveled, her eyes revealed viciousness, her hands formed seals and pushed outward, and a shrill sound came from her mouth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Explode.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She actually took advantage of the fact that the formation had not yet completely shattered to actively trigger it, causing it to self-destruct in exchange for overwhelming power!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, the Great Emperor’s formation emitted an earth-shattering sound, shattered on its own, and swept across in all directions with irresistible force!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wherever it passed, it was like a gale whistling, glaciers collapsing, and even the firmament appeared with fish-scale-like anomalies!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yuedong grabbed Lanyao and fled rapidly into the distance, even taking out a jade slip, crushing it, and tossing it into mid-air!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had not wanted to use this jade slip!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, she had no choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at the very moment the jade slip shattered, the figures of Xu Qing and Erniu had already rushed out of the Great Emperor array, the power of the self-detonation advancing toward Yuedong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qing was like a god descending; every step he took caused the heavens and earth to change color, his pressure was astonishing, and a sense of holiness rose up from his body!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face was expressionless, his eyes cold!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Erniu was his complete opposite!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enveloped in light transformed from infinite greed, it spread with seven colors, dyeing everything in the surroundings black!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within this black light, Erniu was like a demon, his hair swaying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a predatory laugh, he advanced step by step!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, it was as if god and demon were present together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching this scene, Yuedong’s breathing grew rapid, and suddenly, her voice turned shrill as she spoke abruptly toward the fragments of the jade slip!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lü Lingzi, are you still not going to appear?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost the instant Yuedong’s words were spoken, the jade slip fragments she had thrown out earlier flashed with silver light, and a teleportation ripple erupted directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It formed a massive vortex, and amidst a rumbling rotation, a tall figure stepped out from within this vortex, carrying an earth-shattering aura!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With just one step, he crossed the void, walked out of the array, and stepped to Yuedong’s side!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This person was a young man carrying nine great worlds on his body, each one rich with vitality, converging upon him to form the cultivation fluctuation of the peak of the Nine Worlds of Divine Containment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Affecting the heavens and earth as if turning this place into his own world, the moment he appeared, the first thing he looked at was not Yuedong, but the unconscious Lanyao!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A trace of tenderness appeared in his eyes, and then he turned his head; when he looked at Xu Qing and Erniu, the tenderness was replaced by sharpness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke indifferently!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So it was you two who injured the wife of Lü?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",2159,"2026-06-21T00:45:20.082Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","08eef27780a02989cb38262184d23be48f54416b71ca164c156a2892d9a43240","beyond-the-passage-of-time-chapter-970","beyond-the-passage-of-time-chapter-968",998,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeyond-the-passage-of-time-cover.jpg"]
