Chapter 89: Heaven and Earth Are Vast, I Roam Free as I Please

~8 min read 1,581 words

A beam of white mirror light shot straight toward Jiang Xuan's brow.

"Mirror and person as one, Void Divine Light."

Ji Biyue's face was filled with venomous hatred; with a shake of her hands, she fused into a precious mirror, and instantly her whole person vanished into the mirror. Void Mirror light and the Biyue phenomenon surrounded her body, manifesting a bizarre scene in this region — it actually possessed a fraction of the true Void Mirror's demeanor.

In an instant, the mirror light surged like a violent storm straight at Jiang Xuan to bombard and kill; at such close range, space seemed to be crushed like tofu, and in the center of the mirror light, Ji Biyue's venomous, delighted face emerged.

"Jiang Xuan, if we're going to die, let's die together. I've never used this Imitation Void Mirror before others; to die under this mirror, you die without grievance." Ji Biyue burned all her life essence blood, madly pouring all her energy into the Imitation Void Mirror. Countless runes jumped and flickered on the mirror body — clearly this Imperial Armament imitation had been driven to its utmost limit.

"The mirror may be good, but your cultivation is too low, and suppressed by me you cannot mobilize much divine power. This mirror — you cannot bring out its true might. Now let me show you what a true Divine Mirror is: Yin and Yang, Life and Death, the supreme pinnacle."

In Jiang Xuan's eyes, countless strands of black and red qi suddenly surged, intertwining; within his pupils, the universe's star rivers were born and perished, all things generated and in a flash annihilated. Immediately, his eyes seemed to become two demonic caverns that swallowed heaven and devoured earth, the two caverns entangled, inseparable. As his will circulated, strands of mirror light poured down like the natural qi of creation, blanketing heaven and earth, forging the Four Extremes of heaven and earth, restructuring a new world.

Boom—!

Jiang Xuan instantly unleashed the highest mystery of the Yin-Yang Mirror; the dazzling-to-the-extreme Yin-Yang Life and Death Divine Light immediately dispersed the Void Mirror light and slammed heavily onto the Imitation Void Mirror.

Ji Biyue immediately felt her divine power scatter; the state of Mirror and Person as One was instantly shattered by the impact.

The Imitation Void Mirror, even more, developed a deep crack spreading across the entire mirror body.

"My Mirror and Person as One is still far from successful; this is a thread of true meaning I comprehended from the Imperial Armament Void Mirror — otherwise I couldn't have failed to kill you!"

Ji Biyue, hair disheveled, clutched her head and let out a pained roar, then body and spirit were both destroyed.

"Is there any meaning in saying these things?" Jiang Xuan's expression was calm as an ancient well.

All this happened in the span of a spark's flash, fast beyond belief; Ji Biyue's sneak attack pouring all her life divine power — a Dragon Transformation cultivator, if not careful, could have been directly killed.

With a light grasp of his fingers, the Imitation Void Mirror fell into his palm; Jiang Xuan shook his head slightly — its spirituality was utterly gone, its stored divine power also exhausted. The materials were neither top-grade nor bad; he casually put it away.

Looking at the jade stone again, sure enough, there was no technique engraved upon it — only curses and abuse.

"Jiang Xuan."

"Jiang Ge!"

Only now did Ye Fan and Pang Bo react; all this happened too fast — from start to finish only a moment, fast beyond belief. Yaoguang Saintess Yao Xi could see it because she happened to be facing Ji Biyue directly; all of Ji Biyue's actions were seen clearly. As for Jiang Xuan, it was purely his spiritual sense warning him, a premonition of danger in advance.

"Why would you warn me?" Jiang Xuan looked at Yao Xi, puzzled. By rights they were friends not enemies; if Jiang Xuan perished, she could not only escape to the heavens but also possibly share in Jiang Xuan's unmatched wealth. As for Ye Fan and Pang Bo, at the Life Wheel Secret Realm they were no different from infants.

"If you died, do you think Hua Yunfei would let the news that he is a Demonic Art inheritor leak out?" Yao Xi said calmly. Now she could face the coming torture with equanimity; at worst it was just a death.

Yao Xi knew clearly that without Jiang Xuan's suppression, Hua Yunfei would surely swiftly slaughter everyone present to make the news of his Demonic Art inheritance vanish completely. With her cultivation, she was no match for Hua Yunfei at all — unless she hid in the Yaoguang Holy Land for the rest of her life and never came out.

Hide in the Yaoguang Holy Land and never come out?

Yao Xi suddenly thought: Hua Yunfei claimed he was the Magic Embryo, the Divine Embryo was the Yaoguang Holy Son, stronger than the Magic Embryo — so does the Yaoguang Holy Son also possess the ability to devour a person's bodily origin?

Coexisting in the same region with such a vicious ferocious beast ready to choose someone to devour at any moment, not knowing when it would strike at her, Yao Xi couldn't help feeling a chill run through her bones.

Wait — the Yaoguang Holy Son is openly the most important inheritor of the Yaoguang Holy Land, but in truth the Divine Embryo of the Renren Yimai. So has the Yaoguang Holy Land already been infiltrated by the Renren Yimai?

At this moment Yao Xi felt sudden terror; the sect she was most familiar with might not be what she thought it was.

Jiang Xuan nodded, understanding why Yao Xi had spoken up to warn him — though it was useless to him.

"You have nothing to your name; the Guanghan Palace and Yaoguang Inheritance can't match your one life. Yaoguang has offended me so, letting you go lightly would make me look easy to bully. Looks like I'll have to auction you off." Jiang Xuan laughed, thinking of how to deal with this Saintess.

He planned to refine a puppet, send the puppet out to hold an auction — the auction item being the Yaoguang Saintess. Surely the Yaoguang Holy Land and hostile forces would be happy to bid sources. But the specifics of how to operate still needed careful planning.

"You?" Yaoguang Saintess Yao Xi widened her beautiful eyes, a flash of disbelief crossing them. Auction her off? Is that something a human would say? Yet this Demon Head said it so naturally, as if it were the most ordinary thing.

A scene flashed through Yao Xi's mind: she in shackles all over, standing on an auction platform, below all kinds of forces' wretched old men clamoring and bidding, those greedy, burning gazes disgusting beyond measure, as if they wanted to eat her. Thinking of this, the fine hairs on her flawless arms stood on end, coldness spreading through her whole body.

Just as she was about to beg Jiang Xuan for mercy, at this moment, from the distant horizon came dozens of streaking lights; in a blink they flew to this place. A great flag fluttered noisily, inscribed with the two characters "Yaoguang". The leader was an old man, hair sparse, his whole body's aura covering heaven and earth, pressure dominating heaven and earth, qi swallowing mountains and rivers.

"Little beast, harming my Yaoguang disciples — truly damned. Without the Imperial Armament, let's see where you can run." The old man's face was greedy; his gaze on Jiang Xuan was like looking at a humanoid treasure trove.

"Who are you?"

The old man stood with hands behind his back, spoke proudly: "Yaoguang Supreme Elder Wang Chunlin."

Jiang Xuan laughed, "Your Saintess is in my hands. Care to test whether you kill me first, or I snap her neck first?" Five fingers spread, he seized Yao Xi's neck, smooth as mutton-fat white jade; his iron-like large hand seemed about to strangle this beauty that could inspire endless reverie in the next moment.

"Haha, little beast, you also underestimate my Yaoguang Holy Land too much. Just one dead Saintess — am I, Wang Chunlin, someone who can be threatened? One dead Saintess and there are still hundreds and thousands of Saintesses; even the Holy Master couldn't say anything." Yaoguang Supreme Wang Chunlin laughed loudly, his words filled with disdain.

Hearing this, Jiang Xuan fell silent, thinking to himself: not to mention hoping Yaoguang Holy Land would pay a high price to ransom the Saintess — looking at this, they simply don't care about a Saintess's life or death.

Yao Xi's eyes showed sorrow; even if she could return safely to Yaoguang, she could never be Saintess again. The Yaoguang Supreme would never let a person harboring resentment be Saintess; the greatest possibility was dying from qi deviation secretly, unknown to gods or ghosts.

Beside them, Ye Fan and Pang Bo were also greatly shocked. It seems a Holy Land's Holy Son and Holy Daughter aren't so easy to be — they can be discarded as pawns at any time.

"You can't keep me. If I want to leave, heaven is vast, earth is vast — I roam free as I please."

A wave of his large hand, divine light enveloping everyone; the Great Shift Divine Ability activated, and in a flash they vanished from the spot.
