Chapter 1360

"Jianmu, you really are a persistent ghost." After being tricked by his old friend's move, the mastermind behind the scenes looked displeased—this wasn't the first time Jianmu had tripped him up.

Jianmu was his old friend from ancient times, and after his death, the Immortal of Time was born.

When the Immortal of Eternity was condensing the embryonic form of the Dao Fruit of Annihilation, the mastermind realized the Immortal of Eternity was of the same kind as himself and would ultimately walk the same path.

But at that time, Luo Yuexian advised the Immortal of Eternity not to let hatred dictate her life, as the embryonic Dao Fruit of Annihilation was not the right path; thus, the Immortal of Eternity let go of hatred, severed her past self, and began condensing the Dao Fruit of Immortality, after which the world lost one transcendent being, and the mastermind lost one Dao companion.

The Immortal of Time did not recall events from ancient times, but deep in his heart, a faint voice shouted and warned that the Immortal of Eternity had taken the wrong path.

"Why no rebound?" Immortal Jiu Chong exclaimed in surprise, only then seeing clearly the sword in Lu Yang's hand, which was not his usual Qingfeng Sword.

"It is my Taishang Sword." Jiang Ping'an said, his combat power limited, unable to fight directly, only able to assist others—the Taishang Sword was perfectly suited for Lu Yang to use.

Having broken the mastermind's Innocent Golden Body, Yun Zhi and the Immortal of Eternity joined forces again against the enemy, while Qilin Xian, the Immortal of Time, and Immortal Jiu Chong provided support from the side.

Lu Yang furrowed his brow slightly—originally just wanting to test it, he hadn't expected the Taishang Sword to be so effective. He sent a mental message to Jiang Ping'an: "Is the function of the Taishang Sword merely to nullify Dao Fruits?"

"Logically speaking, yes—at the very least, striking Yun Zhi's Dao Companion with it would cause no effect."

Lu Yang pondered: this meant the mastermind earlier feared no attack, reflected any attack, and was employing a Dao Fruit's method?

The Immortal of Eternity had never mentioned such a Dao Fruit, indicating that from ancient times to the present, no immortal had ever possessed this Dao Fruit.

This also suggests this Dao Fruit appeared in ancient times?

Is the Dao Fruit path not something immortals created? Did Dao Fruits already exist in ancient times?

"Ah, that's right—he once buried an era, and that era also saw Dao Fruits!" This was not an internal monologue, but Lu Yang deliberately speaking it aloud.

The way of attack: striking the heart is supreme!

Lu Yang suspected the mastermind's obsession with impersonating Ying Tian Xian was tied to his ancient experiences.

As expected, upon hearing those words, the mastermind's emotions surged—he had sacrificed too much to achieve transcendence, unwilling to look back on the past; Lu Yang's words undoubtedly stirred a certain memory, and this was his pain point!

Yun Zhi and the Immortal of Eternity seized the moment the mastermind was distracted, formed the Supreme Fist Seal, destroyed heaven and earth, overwhelming and unmatched, bombarding the mastermind—other immortals dared not intervene, fearing collateral damage.

They were each the paragons of their respective eras; had it not been for various mishaps, they would have long achieved Unity with the Dao and Omniscience. Together, they could slay any enemy across past, present, and future!

In an instant, radiance stretched billions of zhang, nothing could be seen clearly, space shattered, countless small worlds were born—this was not deliberate, but the energy from their combined assault was too great, capable of shaping heaven and earth.

Peak confrontation—any slight misstep would alter the tide of battle!

The Milky Way collapsed, small worlds were destroyed, the mastermind's body trembled continuously, as the power of the Twin Immortals' Fist Technique exploded within him, layer upon layer, too many to count.

"Ah!" the mastermind roared in anger, using immense vitality to forcibly suppress the fist technique's power.

"Boom——"

Self-detonation occurred again, yet more terrifying than any explosion from ancient times to now—this was not the Immortal of Eternity self-destructing alone; Yun Zhi joined in the self-detonation.

After receiving the Immortal of Eternity's "Immortal" empowerment, Yun Zhi could also rapidly recover her body.

The mastermind was indeed powerful; Yun Zhi felt self-detonation was undignified, but facing him, she could not afford to be particular—any combat technique had to be used.

"Yun Luo Palm."

The Star Cluster Cloud reappeared, forming a great hand seal, containing myriad rules and Dao laws—any single one, taken alone, would be enough for a Tribulation Crossing cultivator to contemplate for a lifetime.

Space sealed, the mastermind was nailed in this heaven and earth; one palm descended, and all laws retreated.

Seeing he could not dodge, the mastermind simply stopped dodging, facing the Yun Luo Palm with not the slightest fear.

Boom—heaven collapsed, earth split, the Great Dao laws rang like bells, emitting boundless calamity light—this palm was stronger than the opening strike of the battle; Qilin Xian turned pale with fear, even at his peak state, he could hardly find a path to survival under this palm—this was a palm capable of slaying immortals.

Yet the mastermind walked out of the Yun Luo Palm unscathed, without a single injury.

Yun Zhi frowned; at the moment her palm struck downward, she felt the Great Dao laws and boundless calamity light touch the mastermind—then all vanished without a trace.

Was it the reappearance of that Innocent Diamond Body?

No, not quite like it.

Yun Zhi's eyes turned icy, the depths filled with killing intent, boiling over—no matter what methods the mastermind had,

this time she would surely slay him to death!

Space trembled, stars resonated—those stars destroyed in battle miraculously reborn, sticking together, restored to perfect wholeness, as Yun Zhi used magic to return them all to their original state.

"Turning the tides of creation, shifting stars and changing constellations."

The stars turned into firelight, blazing fiercely, their positions rearranged, forming the Ninefold Supreme Killing Formation—Yun Zhi enjoyed observing stars and liked arranging them in formations, but had found no opportunity in the Cultivation Realm.

The killing formation prison activated, enveloping the mastermind, the formation turned into purgatory, evolving into boundless divine powers—earth, fire, wind, water—like creating the world, blinding and scorching.

The mastermind's qi and blood boiled, the space around him twisted, remaking heaven and earth, producing countless stars, using Lei Ting as a bond to link the stars, constructing an unparalleled grand formation to counter the killing formation.

Boom—

The two great formations collided and shattered, time twisted, heaven and earth lost their color at this moment, devoid of brilliance.

The Immortal of Eternity slaughtered her way forward, behind her omens arose frequently—myriad beasts cried in unison, myriad nations came to pay homage, people born from jade, the Nine Luminaries galloped—this was not the Immortal of Eternity deliberately causing it, but the battle's scale was too vast, the collision birthing countless creations.

Each such omen and creation could produce a powerful being, but now no one cared about such fortuitous creations—they only wanted the other's life!

"Is this all you've got? Not even enough to watch, Yun Zhi Dao Companion!" the mastermind laughed wildly, facing two opponents without falling behind, having the capital for arrogance: "I originally wanted to matchmake you two Dao Companions with Xiao Lu's marriage, but since you seek death, I cannot be blamed!"

The golden bell chimed lightly upon collision, Yun Zhi struck again—every gesture exuded elegance, not of mortal men, like a celestial maiden descending to the mortal realm.

Though the attack appeared graceful, when it landed on the mastermind, he could no longer laugh.

Yun Zhi's next attack was always stronger than the previous—this unconventional attack style was absolutely not a breakthrough in battle, but a return to peak! Reclaiming the power that was originally hers!

"You are achieving Unity with the Dao?!"

"Since you are transcendent, I naturally seek Unity with the Dao." Yun Zhi replied coldly—this was the first time she had fully unleashed her power since comprehending the Realm of Unity with the Dao!
