Chapter 219: Supreme Battle

"Mengchen! I have let you suffer!"

"I am sorry. I had promised to protect you as you grew, but I have broken my word. To think I have let you encounter such hardship."

The voice of the Vajra Pestle phantom carried a heavy sense of apology.

"No... Gangzi, you have already done enough for me. The only thing I want to know now is how your true form is faring," Mengchen said, shaking his head heavily.

What he wanted to know most right now were clues regarding Gangzi, Liu Shen, and Small Tower.

Now that Shi Hao had been murdered, this grudge had to be avenged, but by his own hand, who knew how long it would take to settle this blood feud.

If he could find Liu Shen, Small Tower, and Gangzi's true form, avenging Shi Hao would be a matter of an instant, and he would surely let those people know what kind of terrifying karma they had incurred.

The Vajra Pestle phantom buzzed as it hovered in mid-air: "I have no way of knowing that either. You must wait for my true form to return and find you in the future, or wait until you are strong enough to explore it yourself."

Then it continued: "Seeing you all harmed to this extent by that Western Sect Leader earlier, I truly wanted to slay him, but unfortunately, I only had that one chance to strike."

"This consciousness of mine is also about to dissipate. If I had insisted on slaying that Western Sect Leader earlier, I fear I would have vanished immediately, and thus would not have been able to bring you away from that place of trouble."

"What...?"

After hearing this, Mengchen's heart surged. Was this consciousness phantom also going to leave?

Hearing these words, Xiyao, Heizi, and the others all felt a sense of loss.

"Mengchen! My consciousness is about to scatter. Before it does, let me use my final bit of strength to lead you to find that Little Fire Phoenix. With him by your side, I will be at ease," said the Vajra Pestle.

As it finished speaking, it returned the Gilded Zen Staff it had reclaimed to Mengchen's hands, and its entire body erupted with boundless light, which spread out to an infinitely distant place.

The Vajra Pestle phantom was using its great divine ability to search for the location of Huofeng Zhizun.

After a short while, the Vajra Pestle phantom reined in its aura and said: "Good! I have found him! I will take you there now."

Following that, it tore through the long sky without a word, wrapped up Mengchen, Xiaohuang, and the others, and vanished into a brilliant stream of light.

Because the time left for it was truly not much; it was about to dissipate.

Beyond the Three Thousand Dao Provinces, there lay a boundless No Man's Land! This No Man's Land was vast; no one knew exactly how large it was. It was desolate everywhere, filled with deathly silence and great terror.

Even so, it had always been a place of longing for certain taboo existences, because within it, while there was great terror, there were also unexpected, world-shaking opportunities.

Those powerhouses who had not reached immortality and were running low on lifespan often chose to enter this No Man's Land to seek opportunities, hoping to find the secret of immortality within and break through their shackles.

Therefore, while it was full of danger, it was also rich in mysterious Great Dao opportunities.

In a certain place deep within the No Man's Land! It had become dilapidated and ruined; everywhere one looked were scenes of decay, with the wreckage of fallen stars and endless abysses that looked like natural moats covering the ground.

"Hmph! I admit you are strong, but in the end, you are only one person; you cannot withstand the three of us!" a woman shouted in a deep voice.

Looking closely, this was precisely the taboo from the Flower God Palace who had originally had her Pure World White Lotus taken by the Vajra Pestle.

At this moment, beside her were two other unknown existences. They were two men, young in appearance, but their auras were identical to that of the Flower God Palace taboo; both were Supreme-level figures of a generation.

"Even if the three of you join forces, so what? What does this old man have to fear!"

The one who spoke now was Huofeng Zhizun. Although his hair and beard were all white and he looked somewhat aged, he was clad in fiery red battle armor and still appeared high-spirited and vigorous, like a battle immortal!

He possessed incomparable power; as his eyes opened and closed, the void tore apart, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, and many stars in the firmament resonated along with him.

"Fellow Daoist! To speak big words, one must have the strength, otherwise you will be unable to withstand our fury."

A male Supreme beside the Flower God Palace taboo spoke, as if his words carried the power of law; the stars above the horizon were already shaking uneasily.

This person looked very young, with an eerily enchanting face, dressed in white with a head of glossy white hair, appearing somewhat otherworldly. Behind him emerged incomparably majestic divine patterns, emitting a peerless pressure that made the heavens and earth tremble and the void roar.

Following that, the other man also spoke, shouting sternly: "Daring to look down on us, today we will surely slay you here and make you pay the price you deserve for your arrogance."

This person was dressed in green, with a slender figure and a head of pitch-black hair draped in mysterious black light.

"Boom!"

As the black light flashed between his hair, some stars outside the domain exploded, divine light shooting into the heavens; the scene was terrifying.

At this very instant, the void suddenly split open, and the Vajra Pestle phantom arrived here, carrying Mengchen and the others.

Their appearance immediately sent the Flower God Palace taboo into a rage, because she saw Mengchen, and her Pure World White Lotus was in Mengchen's hands.

"Brat! Hand over my Pure World White Lotus at once! Otherwise, I will surely reduce you to ashes," the Flower God Palace taboo scolded angrily, reaching out a giant hand across the sky to grab at Mengchen and the others.

"Young Master! They have also come to the Upper Realm." Seeing the group, Huofeng Zhizun was overjoyed, but before his joy could fully bloom, he saw the Flower God Palace taboo attacking them. He immediately let out a roar: "You dare!"

Clang! Huofeng Zhizun formed a sword seal, sweeping across the universe. That sword radiance was too terrifying, so brilliant that it made one unable to open their eyes. The sword light slashed through the mountains and rivers, not only obliterating the giant hand of the Flower God Palace taboo but also slashing into the outer domains! How long could that sword radiance be? At this moment, Mengchen, Qingyi, Xiyao, Heizi, Jinchanzi, Xiaohuang, and everyone else were shocked; that sword light was simply too terrifying, charging into the outer domains and destroying several stars.

"Sss...!"

At this very moment, the Flower God Palace taboo and the two men all moved!

"Let's attack together first and kill him!"

"Two fellow Daoists, if you help me reclaim the Pure World White Lotus today, I have a great gift to offer."

"The three of us have lived and died together at the Imperial Pass for many years; talking about great gifts is a bit distant."

The three of them conversed.

"Kill!"

That young Supreme, the white-haired man, suddenly let out a roar. The heavens and earth shook, the mountains collapsed, and he reached out a giant hand, striking forward.

At this moment, the heavenly gang was vast, chaos erupted, and the aura of destruction swept across the heavens and the earth.

His target at this moment was not Huofeng Zhizun, but where the Vajra Pestle and Mengchen and the others were.

He wanted to feint to the east and attack in the west, using the attack on Mengchen and the others to provoke Huofeng Zhizun into saving them, thereby finding an opportunity to kill Huofeng Zhizun in one blow.

"Hmph! If not for my true form being absent, you would already be a dead man for attacking me," the Vajra Pestle phantom said angrily upon seeing this.

"A mere remnant shadow of a magical artifact dares to speak to me like that!" The white-haired Supreme spoke with contempt, and the giant hand he swung became even more swift.

Afterwards, the Vajra Pestle hurriedly spoke, calling out to Huofeng Zhizun: "Little Fire Phoenix, my true form is not here; now everything depends on you."

"Sss..."

Hearing this, Huofeng Zhizun brought the Vajra Pestle phantom, Mengchen, Xiaohuang, and the others to his side in a single thought, and using his palm and fingers as a sword, he slashed and obliterated the white-haired Supreme's giant hand.

Afterwards, he temporarily opened up a Small World within his body and took Mengchen and the others inside to protect them.

"You have become tainted by karma; today, all of you must die for me!" the taboo of the Flower God Palace said coldly.

"Boom—"

As the words fell, a massive light reaching the heavens broke through the Nine Heavens and descended into the world; under the illumination of this grand light, she manifested her true form as the Nine-Colored Holy Lotus.

The Holy Lotus appeared, its nine-colored precious light each magnificent, and great stars in the sky resonated, appearing as if they were about to crash down, while a terrifying aura emanated from within.

With a hiss, a beam of nine-colored precious light, peerless in the world, directly crushed the void and charged toward Huofeng Zhizun.

At this moment, Mengchen and the others, although taken into the Small World within Huofeng Zhizun's body, could still see everything in the outside world quite clearly.

"Pfft..."

At this moment, the Heaven Domain and Earth Domain suddenly darkened for an instant, leaving only the nine-colored precious light shining.

Because when that nine-colored precious light surged out, the sun in the sky exploded and was destroyed in an instant.

In the vast frontier, there are many suns hanging, but here there was only one, and it was shattered by the terrifying aura of that nine-colored precious light.

Is this the full power of a Supreme?! It is simply unfathomable! "Zheng—!"

Huofeng Zhizun raised a hand and flicked a finger; the extreme red radiance at the fingertip flew out like a sword, stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles, as if to cut through the heavens and the earth, striking that nine-colored precious light.

Previously, in the battle against Huofeng Zhizun, the Flower God Palace taboo had already suffered significant injuries; had it not been for the critical moment when two close friends arrived, she would likely have already perished.

If not for this, this battle of the Supreme would not have continued for nearly a year.

"Pfft...!"

The sword intent penetrated through the nine-colored precious light into her true form, causing the Flower God Palace taboo to be wounded again; the manifested Nine-Colored Holy Lotus swayed, coughing up nine-colored blood.

The coughed-up blood surged beyond the heavens, instantly causing every star stained by the blood to explode, followed by a meteor shower, as countless star remnants crashed down onto the Earth Domain.

Within the Small World of Huofeng Zhizun, Mengchen, Qingyi, Heizi, Jinchanzi, Xiyao, Xiaohuang, and the others were all shocked.

Is this a battle between Supremes!? It made fear arise in their hearts, and a chill spread through their bodies! "How dare you wound her repeatedly!" the white-haired man and the black-haired man roared in deep voices.

The roar shook the heavens and the earth, causing the stars across the sky to fall and the ground to split into ten-thousand-foot-deep abysses.
