Chapter 1245: Taibai Youming Sky-Patrolling Arrow First, Second, and Third Stage Acceleration!

The situation of this battle finally became clear.

A Path-Unification Divine Monarch burned his essence blood, his body merging into the Heavenly Dao Law Web, fleeing madly.

His speed was so terrifying that it surpassed even the speed at which a Void Refinement cultivator could think, let alone be captured — they simply existed on entirely different levels.

If a Path-Unification Divine Monarch wished to flee, in theory, cultivators of the same realm simply could not intercept him.

"Fleeing?"

"Senior Guicong, you're finally fleeing — so why not flee from the very beginning…"

Yuan gave a cold smile.

He did not care about this extremely difficult matter.

Theory, after all, is only theory.

If he were now encountering another Path-Unification expert of Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong, the Immortal Gate truly could not intercept him — but that did not include the great powers of Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace!

The Immortal Gate had prepared so much, and not a single thing was wasted.

Hum!

The Star Demon Tree swayed and shimmered. Between its swaying branches, the light of nine main stars blazed brilliantly, and three thousand six hundred stars shone radiantly, their light flickering unsteadily. Boundless spiritual energy and cosmic starlight came rolling in, swayed by the Star Demon Tree, drawing hundreds of millions of magnetic Heavenly Dao Law Webs from the cosmos, converging toward a single point in the starry sky.

Boom!

The nine-thousand-kilometer-long Taibai Youming Sky-Patrolling Arrow blazed brilliantly, its tail fins bursting with light as it once again entered the orbit of the magnetic Heavenly Dao Law Web.

It tore through the magnetic Heavenly Dao Law Web at extreme speed, following the point jointly located by the curse and the Sun Star formation nodes, and sped to kill at extreme velocity.

But one had to admit the terrifying speed of the Path-Unification Divine Monarch's flight.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of thousands of kilometers!

Even the Taibai Youming Sky-Patrolling Arrow in this state was slower than that streak of Jin Chong Guang, and there was a risk of the distance being widened further and being completely shaken off.

The cosmic starry sky was infinitely vast.

This was a fact even a True Immortal had to acknowledge — the objective existence of endless space could not be ignored.

Once the great power of Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace pulled open enough distance, it would truly be a fish or dragon entering the sea — vast seas and open skies, completely free.

He could completely brand his Shen Hun Yin into the Heavenly Dao, gaining an extremely terrifying undying and indestructible property, which could not be destroyed except by power above Path-Unification or extremely special and powerful force.

At that time, an undying and indestructible Path-Unification expert walking the world in a mortal body could freely launch sneak attacks, freely launch attacks against the Immortal Gate, and would bring a terrible disaster of sect annihilation!

"First-stage arrow body separation."

Yuan commanded.

The Immortal Gate had run countless war-game simulations of this battle over a thousand years, making all manner of contingency plans — the scene before them had not exceeded the Immortal Gate's calculations.

"Yes!"

The eight Star Lords including Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun and Senior Wanji True Venerable obeyed sternly, each commanding their tens of millions of citizen fleets to respond, striking out Yi Dao Dao Fa.

These were the Yi Dao Dao Fa used to control the Taibai Youming Sky-Patrolling Arrow through formations — the computational load was terrifying to the extreme, and could not be driven without the collective will of Path-Unification-grade citizen fleets.

Boom!

The Taibai Youming Sky-Patrolling Arrow shuttled through the magnetic Heavenly Dao Law Web, and in that instant suddenly flashed violently, revealing its form for a single moment from within the Heavenly Dao Law Web.

A section of its tail arrow body separated, transforming into a massive propulsive force, causing the Taibai Youming Sky-Patrolling Arrow's speed to surge by more than fifty percent, before once again fully entering the orbit of the Heavenly Dao Law Web.

At this point, the Taibai Youming Sky-Patrolling Arrow's speed had already matched that of the Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong Path-Unification Divine Monarch fleeing by burning essence blood.

Of course, this was not the end.

"Second-stage arrow body separation!"

"Third-stage arrow body separation!"

Yuan issued command after command.

Boom!

Boom boom!

The Taibai Youming Sky-Patrolling Arrow shuttled through the magnetic Heavenly Dao Law Web, revealing its form again and again, each time shedding a portion of its arrow body, its speed surging. In the end, the nine-thousand-kilometer-long arrow body became nine hundred kilometers — shortened by ten times.

Corresponding to this was a terrifying speed!

At this moment, the Taibai Youming Sky-Patrolling Arrow had nearly become a part of the magnetic laws themselves, shuttling within the Heavenly Dao Law Web, its speed surging to more than double that of the Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong Path-Unification Divine Monarch fleeing by burning essence blood!

Two streaks of light — one of golden indestructible law, one of azure magnetic law — chased one another, one ahead and one behind.

The distance between them closed in an instant.

"Damn it!"

The great power of Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace's divine sense saw the Taibai Youming Sky-Patrolling Arrow behind him whose speed kept surging, and his soul nearly fled his body in terror.

Cold omens in his Shen Hun kept assaulting him, making his Shen Hun tremble. His instincts told him that the terror of death was about to descend, and the future of complete fall and oblivion was about to become reality.

"No! Impossible!"

"This old man is a Path-Unification Divine Monarch! A Path-Unification Divine Monarch who possesses the Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong inheritance!"

The great power of Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace roared.

At this life-and-death juncture, he once again burned his essence blood, and even burned his Shen Hun as well as part of the Path-Unification brand imprinted into the Heavenly Dao, transforming it into a massive surge of indestructible law power that poured into himself, his power suddenly surging, leaping upward in an almost-doubled escalation.

"Kill!"

"Roar!"

The great power of Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace wore Brother Xuanwu armor, wielded the Four Spirits Evil-Slaying Sword, and behind him the wings of Garuda flapped. Boundless power poured into the sword, transforming into a Star God Brother Xuanwu Sound of Destruction that cleaved heaven and earth and tore apart the Heavenly Dao Law Web.

This Sound of Destruction spread outward in ripples, striking squarely upon the Taibai Youming Sky-Patrolling Arrow.

Ting!

At the instant the Four Spirits Evil-Slaying Sword and the Taibai Youming Sky-Patrolling Arrow made contact, heaven and earth fell silent.

Afterwards, terrifying waves of destruction rippled outward in all direc

tions, destroying heaven and earth, shattering the Heavenly Dao Law Web — everything shattered, turning into nothingness.

Even sound itself was annihilated; heaven and earth fell into absolute silence. Divine sense and gaze alike could not observe anything—only a pitch-black void that instantly expanded tens of thousands of kilometers, swallowing everything whole.

No one knew how long had passed.

All that could be seen was a golden figure, coughing blood as it staggered backward, both arms already broken, the chest bone—

No—there was no chest bone left at all!

From below the chest, the entire body had vanished without a trace; the flesh at the edges was in a loose, drifting state. Only a few drops of golden blood scattered in all directions, piercing through space and leaving behind a series of deep, dark Kong Dong.

Not far from the golden figure, a dark-gold giant arrow nine hundred kilometers long had likewise dimmed in color. On the arrowhead—refined from Po Fa Xian Jin and seventh-tier Armor One Synthetic Synthetic Gengjin—a wound like a deep canyon had actually appeared, stretching dozens of kilometers across, with countless Heavenly Dao rule-prohibition patterns revealed within the wound.

This was a wound inflicted upon a seventh-tier dharma treasure!

The rule-prohibitions had been severed and split apart, and the treasure's power had Suffered Heavy damage.

"Puh!"

The instant the Tai Bai You Ming Sky-Surveying Arrow was damaged, nine Immortal Gate cultivators including Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun, Yuan, Senior Wanji True Honored One, and Zhenjun Shenji True Honored One all simultaneously coughed blood, their faces deathly pale, having Suffered Heavy injuries.

Their mind-spirits were bound too tightly to the Tai Bai You Ming Sky-Surveying Arrow, and they were caught in the backlash.

Moreover, after assessing the battlefield situation, they refused to let the shockwaves of the attack spill over into the lower-ranked cultivators and Nascent Soul and Soul Transformation cultivators within the army formation, and so the nine of them bore the full force of the backlash themselves.

Because, for them, a backlash that only meant grievous injury would mean the utter annihilation of spirit and soul for Canghai Tianjun of Soul Transformation and cultivators below them—the complete obliteration of millions of citizen cultivators!

When conditions allowed, the nine of them would not permit such enormous losses among the citizens.
