Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

This sword strike was absolutely the Black-Clothed Sword Cultivator's strongest strike.

Seeing this, Xu Zhangqing moved as well.

Five colors surged from his palm, layer upon layer, radiating brilliant light.

The divine ability Five-Colored Divine Light collided head-on with that pitch-black Sword Qi.

In the next second, the pitch-black Sword Qi melted away inch by inch within the Five-Colored Divine Light.

Any thing, as long as it is within the Five Elements, cannot escape the Five-Colored Divine Light.

In a flash, the Sword Qi was exhausted.

The Five-Colored Divine Light's momentum did not diminish; like a five-colored silk ribbon it continued forward, brushing across the pitch-black long sword in the Black-Clothed Sword Cultivator's hand.

Clang—

The long sword let out a piercing, ear-splitting wail, wrested from the Black-Clothed Sword Cultivator's grasp by the Five-Colored Divine Light, tumbling as it fell into the Chaos Sea below.

His life-bound long sword was brushed away, severing its connection with his Divine Soul.

The indifference in the Black-Clothed Sword Cultivator's eyes finally melted, revealing a trace of disbelief.

But he made no sound, nor did he spare another glance at the sword that had fallen into the Chaos Sea; with a backhand he tore open a spatial rift, his figure flashing into it.

"Hiss!"

"A Sword Cultivator who has mastered the Space Law?"

"No wonder he wanted to seize the Star River Tripod!"

"This Xu Direct Disciple is too powerful, isn't he?"

"Are all Direct Disciples of the Northern Dipper Immortal Mansion this fierce?"

The cultivators still locked in melee all around gasped in shock at this sight.

Xu Zhangqing stood in place, the corner of his mouth hooking into a cold smile: "Did I say you could run?"

As his words fell, the Seven-Colored Lotus within his body hummed incessantly.

A complete Space Law radiated outward from the depths of his Qi Sea.

The Abyss-Void in his palm struck out once more, but this time it was utterly different from before.

The left palm became the Abyss, the right palm the Void; the instant Yin-Yang Qi converged, the Seven-Colored Lotus's Space Law power was injected into it as well. The depths of the vortex were no longer dark and lightless, but instead rippled with a layer of iridescent, seven-colored spatial ripples.

Xu Zhangqing's five fingers curled slightly, making a grasping motion toward the spatial rift where the Black-Clothed Sword Cultivator had vanished.

In the next second, the already-closed spatial rift was forcibly torn open.

From the other end of the rift came a muffled grunt of disbelief.

Immediately after, that black figure was dragged out of the void by an irresistible spatial force, like a fish hooked by an invisible line and pulled from the water's surface.

"How can this be?!"

Shock appeared on the Black-Clothed Sword Cultivator's face for the first time.

He cultivated the Space Law; looking across the entire Chaos Sea, those who could suppress him in the Space Law were few and far between.

Yet the person before him not only suppressed him, but did so in an almost barbaric way, forcibly dismantling and yanking back an already-completed teleportation.

"You..."

The Black-Clothed Sword Cultivator's words were unfinished when the Five-Colored Divine Light arrived.

Five colors brushed past the top of the Black-Clothed Sword Cultivator's head.

His flesh body, Divine Soul, magic power, laws, even the black Daoist robe on his body, all silently dissipated in the instant the Five-Colored Divine Light swept over.

No scream.

No struggle.

Not a single trace left behind.

The previous instant, he was still a powerful Sword Cultivator capable of tearing space.

The next instant he was reduced to ash and smoke, not even a wisp of Remnant Soul able to escape.

The surroundings fell into dead silence.

Hundreds of cultivators, dense Insect Swarms, even that Chaos Giant Beast still struggling — all paused for a moment at this instant.

"Space Law... he knows Space Law too?"

"Not ordinary Space Law, but complete!"

"Just how many trump cards does this person have?"

"Stop looking, don't block his path!"

No one dared to look at Xu Zhangqing a second time.

The several groups of cultivators who had been restless just now now even withdrew their gazes, afraid Xu Zhangqing might misunderstand them as harboring covetous intentions.

The Insect Swarm of the Vacuum Homeland also rarely ceased their attack; those Soul-Devouring Insects and Nest Insects avoided the direction Xu Zhangqing was in from far away.

The Insect Race may be fierce, but that doesn't mean they don't value their lives.

An existence that can casually erase a Space Sword Cultivator isn't worth risking the whole Insect Group for.

Xu Zhangqing expressionlessly withdrew his gaze, reaching out to grasp the ears of the Star River Tripod.

The three-foot-tall round tripod trembled in his palm; a resisting force transmitted from the tripod body, but was immediately suppressed by the Creation Power within his body.

Creation Power flowed along the tripod ears into the tripod body; the flowing star river diagram on the tripod body suddenly accelerated, and the star river erupted with dazzling light at the same time.

The time, space, and life-and-death on the tripod's three legs lit up one after another, three Dao patterns illuminating in sequence.

Bond Mastery!

The Star River Cauldron's resistance completely dissipated, the cauldron shrinking to one chi square, landing steadily in Xu Zhangqing's palm.

The star river flowed without cease, the auras of the three laws—time, space, and life and death—connecting with his Divine Sense.

At every moment he could clearly perceive that complete small star river.

Every star was turning, this being a spatial embryo completely independent of Wai Jie.

"Not bad."

Xu Zhangqing gave a slight smile, then put away the Star River Cauldron.

He planned to later place it into his Personal Space.

With this cauldron, his Personal Space could evolve from a Xiao Tian Di into a Xiao Yu Zhou with complete laws.

At this moment, Zhao Ziyue could barely hold on any longer.

Seeing that Xu Zhangqing had succeeded, he no longer entangled himself with the Chaos Giant Beast.

The light of the Gui Xu Seal converged, and the thousand-zhang-high dark-blue Water Curtain behind him collapsed with a boom.

Instantly, the water lines binding the Chaos Giant Beast's four limbs, tail, and horns all loosened, and it immediately let out a furious roar of regained freedom.

Roar!

Xu Zhangqing and Zhao Ziyue exchanged a glance; without any communication, they made exactly the same movement.

Xu Zhangqing deployed Shrink Earth to an Inch, appearing in a flash at the bow of the Lei Ming Yin Dragon Boat.

Zhao Ziyue struck the fishing rod against the flat boat, and the waves beneath the flat boat turned direction on their own.

One boat and one skiff like two streaks of flowing light, at the fastest speed heading away from the Chaos Giant Beast.

"Leaving... they left?"

"They're leaving just like that?"

"Then what do we do?"

Once they left, those remaining on the spot—people and insects alike—were in for a miserable end.

The Chaos Giant Beast had been suppressed by Zhao Ziyue for half a day, full of pent-up rage.

Now that all restraints were gone, all his anger poured onto the surrounding Xiuxian Zhe and Insect Swarm who had not yet managed to escape.

Aang!

It raised its head to the sky and let out a roar, the law remnants on its nine horns erupting simultaneously, transforming into nine gray-black light pillars sweeping across the entire field.

Where the light pillars passed, over a hundred Xiuxian Zhe were swept into Qi Fen, and tens of thousands of insects were burned into Charcoal.

Next, the Chaos Giant Beast raised a front claw and slammed down fiercely on the densest part of the crowd; dozens of Xiuxian Zhe didn't even have time to activate their Escape Light before being slapped into minced meat.

"No, don't!"

"I just reached the Spirit Severing realm, I don't want to die!"

"If I had known, I wouldn't have come……"

Screams, wails, and the hissing of the Insect Swarm intertwined, the scene tragic to the extreme.

But everything was too late.

Xu Zhangqing and Zhao Ziyue flew several thousand li in one breath, until the Chaos Giant Beast's roar completely disappeared behind them, only then stopping at a relatively calm spot on the sea surface!
