Chapter 1223

"The seal inside Xiao Nannan's body is about to break."

Ji Fuyao's beautiful eyes glimmered, "Seal?"

Xiao Nannan is this strong even without breaking the seal; if she were to break the seal, wouldn't that be even more heaven-defying?

Ye Chen asked curiously, "Just how strong will Xiao Nannan be?"

Lu Xuan said, "Perhaps he's a bit stronger than General Qi."

Ye Chen was dumbfounded.

Ji Fuyao inquired about Xiao Nannan's origins.

Lu Xuan told the two of them about the town's affairs.

"Town?" Ji Fuyao's beautiful eyes furrowed slightly.

It's obvious that this town far exceeds the World Tree by too much.

The master's past is shrouded in mist, and now she hasn't even seen a corner of the iceberg.

The master is too powerful!

Lu Xuan turned his gaze toward the void; this battle has already begun to draw to a close.

The Demon Cloud Sect could not possibly stop the combined forces of the Everlasting Army and the Long River Sword Sect, and they all perished in the void.

Not far away, Tie Xiaoqing was still busy cooking.

The aroma wafted.

"Lord Lu, the meal is ready."

Tie Xiaoqing said with a delighted face.

Lu Xuan smiled and said, "Since it's come to this, let's eat first."

A stone table materialized, and Lu Xuan, Ji Fuyao, Ye Chen, and others sat around it, with the Long River Elder and Zhang Liao and others also joining.

Elsewhere in the void, members of the Everlasting Army and the Long River Sword Sect were also feasting on the meat of great demon spirits.

The Long River Elder's excited expression lingered for a long time, "Lord Lu, I finally get to see you again."

Lu Xuan wore a carefree expression, gave a light nod, and said, "Over these endless ages, the Long River Sword Sect surviving in the cracks has indeed been no easy feat."

The Long River Elder instantly burst into tears.

All the past bitterness, acknowledged by Lu Xuan, made everything worthwhile.

The Long River Elder again recalled the days when he fought alongside the Spirit Martial Emperor, "Your Majesty, today my sword sect once again becomes your vassal! My sect has awaited the great war for a very long time."

Yang Ling'er said, "Within the Everlasting Army, there is a place for your sword sect."

Not long after.

Lu Xuan finished eating, then held Xiao Nannan and lay down on the recliner.

Xiao Nannan clung tightly to Lu Xuan, as if she would lose him in the next instant.

"Big brother, this time I don't want to leave you again."

"Okay."

Suddenly, an overbearing heaven-and-earth will appeared above the void; this is a power of the heavenly realm level!

Everyone frowned and looked up at the firmament.

"Lord Lu, Spirit Martial Emperor, long time no see. Now the Yunlan Heaven is in peril, and I still control the heavenly domain from the Heavenly Palace; please forgive me for not coming far to greet you."

Yunlan Pòtiān's voice echoed from the depths of the void.

His voice seemed to carry a sense of desolation and endless loneliness.

Xiao Nannan immediately recognized it, her big eyes flashing with starlight, "It's Senior Yunlan!"

Yunlan Pòtiān continued, "Lord Lu, the Yunlan Heaven is about to shatter; perhaps we can join forces."

Lu Xuan outright ignored Yunlan Pòtiān.

A hint of killing intent appeared on Yang Ling'er's exquisite face as she coldly said, "Join forces? Yunlan Pòtiān, your grand dream is over."

Yunlan Pòtiān spoke solemnly, "Spirit Martial Emperor, now is not the time to discuss guilt. The Yunlan Heaven will collapse; I need Xiao Nannan to return to the Heavenly Palace. Xiao Nannan, come back quickly."

Xiao Nannan still clung tightly to Lu Xuan, her voice weak, saying, "Senior Yunlan, I want to stay with big brother first."

Yunlan Pòtiān fell silent for a moment, then got straight to the point: "Lord Lu, Xiao Nannan doesn't understand the stakes involved; I need Xiao Nannan to stabilize this heavenly domain."

Yang Ling'er coldly said, "Yunlan Pòtiān, over these endless ages, for your own selfish gain you have seized Xiao Nannan's power to construct the Xuanlin Butterfly Abyss, weakening Xiao Nannan. And now you still think of holding her hostage? That's sheer wishful thinking."

Upon hearing this, Yunlan Pòtiān could no longer contain his anger, gritting his teeth: "Lord Lu, Xiao Nannan is linked to the Xuanlin Butterfly Abyss. If the abyss shatters, Xiao Nannan will surely die! Lord Lu, how will you choose?"

This voice was full of provocation and threat.

As soon as these words were spoken, many of the Everlasting Army rose directly in the void, killing intent surging.

"Impudent!"

Ji Fuyao's spirit fire power surged, a spear appearing in her hand, its brilliance blazing, pointing deep into the firmament as she rebuked, "A mere parasite, dare you speak to my master like that?"

Yunlan Pòtiān gave a hollow laugh, since he'd already torn his face, he no longer pretended: "Now I am bound together with Xiao Nannan. I know you all want to kill me; if I die, Xiao Nannan will surely die!"

Lu Xuan snorted, "You think too highly of yourself."

He flicked his finger, and a Divine Light shot straight up into the heavens.

The will of Yunlan Pòtiān above the void shattered outright, dissipating into heaven and earth, leaving only a ferocious voice echoing: "Lu Xuan! You cannot be too selfish; you must think of Xiao Nannan..."

Upon hearing this, everyone flew into a rage.

At this point, this scoundrel still acted hypocritically, spouting wild talk.

After a moment, Lu Xuan gently rose while holding Xiao Nannan and said lightly, "The farce should end."

He looked toward the outside world's Xuanlin Butterfly Abyss; as the Ghost Palace and Gu Clan rampaged wildly within the Yunlan Heaven, the abyss suffered heavy damage and now stands on the brink of collapse.

This Xuanlin Butterfly Abyss is essentially a grand formation!

With Xiao Nannan as the formation's heart and her power as the source, it has turned for endless ages, continually drawing Xiao Nannan's temporal and dream power, which also caused that seal within her body to remain suppressed, leaving her in a dormant state.

Now, only need to replace the formation core; this grand formation should also dissipate.

Lu Xuan spread his palm, an earth-yellow bead appeared.

It is indeed the Dingkun Pearl!

On this bead flows rich heaven-earth power; that is a heavenly-realm-level power, able to stabilize Qiankun, able to stabilize mountains and rivers, able to stabilize the starry sky.

"Go!"

Lu Xuan flicked his finger; the Dingkun Pearl shot out directly, flying toward the Profound Scale Butterfly Ruins.

"Boom—"

Lu Xuan's hand seal shifted; endless brilliant formation patterns surged like starlight, injected into the Profound Scale Butterfly Ruins, countless points of light continuously fell down, momentum vast, like a storm sweeping across the entire Phantom Realm.

This is a heaven-defying method: using the Dingkun Pearl to reforge the foundation of the Phantom Realm, extracting it from Xiao Nannan's body!

Once Xiao Nannan's power is completely extracted from the Dingkun Pearl, then this Phantom Realm can self-destruct.

In an instant, the entire Cloud Mist Heaven and Profound Scale Butterfly Ruins exhibited heavenly-earthly portents.

Heaven and earth tremble!

Space warps!

Within the Dingkun Pearl, that vast aura surged like a tide within the Profound Scale Butterfly Ruins; the mighty power overflowed beyond the heavens, falling upon the many star seas of Cloud Mist Heaven.

Know that the mountains and rivers within the Profound Scale Butterfly Ruins are merely a projection of Cloud Mist Heaven.

Now the Dingkun Pearl reverses the heavenly-earthly trend; the star seas of Cloud Mist Heaven gradually break free from the control and binding of the Profound Scale Butterfly Ruins.

The many great powers once controlled by the Cloud Mist Emperor's lifelines all rejoiced greatly.

The killing intent hanging over their heads is dissipating!

In a certain star sea, the Netherworld Formation Elder suddenly awoke, he exclaimed in great shock, "Again this pearl! Lu Xuan has made a move! I must quickly comprehend the last thread of Dao pattern! Our time is short!"
