Remould the Glory of Sword Art

Ye Zhu's final sword strike, finally achieves its purpose.

"..."

Xie Xuanyi looked at the elder in the red robe, his expression complex.

"Actually, I didn't want to talk about these things with you."

Ye Zhu lowered his eyelids and spoke self-mockingly: "The Sea Suppression Array has formed, and I originally intended to use the force of 'suppressing and killing' to compel you to strike out. Yet, I realized... you have already guessed this plan."

Indeed...

Xie Xuanyi did notice something strange; after the Sea Suppression Array was formed, Zhao Ceng's killing intent inexplicably faded considerably.

"So you stopped me from killing the Six Desires True Monarch earlier..."

Xie Xuanyi sighed lightly.

"It was intentional."

Ye Zhu said, "The pseudo-saints of the Three Great Sects should enter the tomb... If the Six Desires True Monarch can return alive to convey the news, then the credibility of the Great Chu's internal struggle would increase by another notch."

After executing the pseudo-saints.

Both the Six Desires True Monarch and Zhao Ceng can be cleaned out by him alone.

As he spoke.

He opened his robe.

Ye Zhu lightly gestured over his chest and sincerely said: "Next, you only need to stab here with one strike, and the Sea Suppression Array will collapse on its own. Only when White Ghosts see with their own eyes... that I am 'gravely injured and on the brink of death' will they dare to have killing intent."

"Senior?"

Xie Xuanyi was stunned.

He shook his head, speaking sincerely: "This sword strike... I cannot execute!"

Ye Zhu is now like a burnt-out candle.

After exhausting his mind and efforts, the final sword retained to this moment, even if it genuinely can kill the pseudo-saints of White Ghosts, would deplete his already dwindling remaining vitality and blood...

At this juncture, to withstand a sword of the "Annihilation Dao Realm"...

Even if it truly kills the Evil Cultivators.

Ye Zhu will have his soul scattered!

"Calculating the time, White Ghosts should also be entering the Secret Tomb..."

Ye Zhu shook his head, speaking warmly: "Do not worry about me, just consider the Great Chu... I've lived for centuries, and have seen all the sights. This time heading south, young Yang Gods burning to the point of death, how could I alone survive?"

"..."

Xie Xuanyi fell into silence.

He looked at the old man in front of him who had long extinguished his will to live, eyes filled with a complex expression. He could tell that Ye Zhu no longer cared about his own life.

Perhaps this is why only he practiced the 'Flame Flower Style' in Baihua Valley.

The Sea Suppression Array fell into a brief silence.

"Perhaps... the situation isn't so dire."

Xie Xuanyi regained his composure.

Activating the Divine Embryo, he slowly extended a hand and deployed the Life Dao Realm.

A thread of pure white aura was transmitted into the elder's brow in the red robe.

"...?"

Ye Zhu was momentarily stunned.

He gazed at the golden divine fetus, his expression growing more contemplative.

In these few centuries of wandering, the only one he'd seen perfect the "Life Dao" was the Zen Master from Fan Yin Temple.

Life and Death Dao, counted among the most difficult paths of the Great Dao.

The Path of Destruction, there are indeed phenomenal talents who can perfect it—

Such as Luo Lie, Lian Venerate, and in the first life, Xie Xuanyi.

Life Dao, truly only one person.

Now...

He saw a second person, who moreover possessed both "Life and Death" Dao Realm.

Is this why Zhao Chunyang did not appear in the North Sea back then?

Pure Yang Brother, foresaw so far into the future...

You have seen clearly even Little Xie's second life?

"Zzzzz."

The pure white vitality was transmitted into the elder's brow in the red robe, landing in the Purple Mansion, the Heart Lake, above the Sword Qi Cave Heaven, instantaneously frozen into ice crystals, shattered into fragments.

Xie Xuanyi, who deployed the Life Dao Realm, turned three shades paler.

He frowned and looked at Ye Zhu.

The Life Dao Realm...

Could not at all reach the position of Ye Zhu's Dao injury!

This was the first time he encountered such a situation!

This Dao injury was not caused by a single battle.

Over the long years, Ye Zhu had used the "Flame Flower Style" more than once; back during the Battle of Poison on the Northern Border Battlefield, he fought desperately, already overextending himself once. Managing to barely live, after 60 years, on the surface Ye Zhu seemed to recover, but in truth, chronic issues remain unhealed, internally, the Cave Heaven was still filled with fragmented Dao injuries, merely waiting for an opportunity, from inside out, causing a collapse.

The Battle of the White Paper Barrier was the ultimate fuse!

Ye Zhu's overuse of Primordial Energy led to the uncontainable outbreak of the internal 'old injuries'—

This type of Dao injury has already surpassed the scope that the 'Life Dao Realm' can heal.

"Little Xie, it's already impressive that you could comprehend the 'Life Dao Realm'..."

Ye Zhu, upon seeing this scene, sighed with relief and smiled, though a faint regret involuntarily surfaced in his eyes. "It's just a pity that this is only the 'Dao Realm,' not the 'Great Dao.' If a Zen Master were here, perhaps a miracle could truly be created."

The Dao Realm of the Yin God Realm, after all, cannot compare to the Great Dao.

"..."

Xie Xuanyi didn't know what to say.

He was hesitating whether to take out the 'Undying Spring' for use.

Ye Zhu spoke again: "Don't try anymore. This old man doesn't want to live, can't you see that?"

This time it was Xie Xuanyi's turn to be stunned.

"Didn't you just see that battle at the White Paper Barrier?"

Ye Zhu shook his head and joked, "That man surnamed Lu has so many 'Undying Springs.' If I wanted to heal my Dao injury... wouldn't I just ask him for the Undying Spring? I've lived for so many years, I'm tired of living! Originally, I wanted to fight your Master one more time... it's a pity I don't have the chance. You get back alive and remember to help me take care of those disciples in Baihua Valley!"

With that said.

He ripped open his clothes, and waves rolled down overwhelmingly!

Within the Sea Suppression Array, a deep voice shouted.

"Come!"

Xie Xuanyi was forced to look Ye Zhu in the eyes.

His expression was complex, looking at the calm and composed expression of the elder in red, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, ultimately becoming a strand of Sword Qi sent out.

Rip!

Sword Qi erupted, instantly piercing Ye Zhu's skin, bones!

This sword stabbed through Ye Zhu's thin, withered body, sending him flying away.

Boom!

The Sea Suppression Array shattered.

Murky waves churned.

Zhou Ceng "perfectly timed" appeared, moving to support Ye Zhu from behind.

"..."

The white-robed martial artist viewed the black-robed figure that had struck with a complex expression, eyes filled with guilt and apology. But the next moment, as the waves fell, the guilt in the white-robed martial artist's eyes vanished, leaving only "anger and gloom."

"Ye Zhu is injured!"

"Xie Zhen was hiding his realm!"

The murky waves of the Sea Suppression Array shattered, and more than one person saw this scene.

Dark Sword Qi tore through the waves.

Zhou Ceng deliberately loosened the array's constraints to let more people witness this.

Astonished voices surpassed the waves.

"Kill!!"

"Kill!!!"

Martial Sect disciples pressed forward.

Xie Xuanyi took a deep breath and began to counterattack, the Golden Robe Divine Embryo targeted the Sea Suppression Array with a fierce assault, countless golden fist imprints pounded against the waves, the previously maintained "suppressive position" of the Sea Suppression Array at this moment was beaten back step by step.

Zhou Ceng withdrew with Ye Zhu to the Red Leaf Throne.

He re-entered the Sea Suppression Array.

Boom!

After the white-clothed martial artist returned to the array, the situation reversed again, the front pressed, vaguely regaining a suppressive stance.

Two Divine Embryos collided with each other.

Golden light and white radiance clashed, divine splendor splattered, the figures of Zhou Ceng and Xie Zhen almost intertwined—

Zhou Ceng did not hold back.

Six Desires True Monarch had fled, but we do not know to where.

Since chosen to perform, there's no choice but to act it out to the end!

"Southwest of the Secret Tomb, there is a long passage."

Only, midway through the fierce battle, Zhou Ceng suddenly transmitted his voice.

This Bai Ze Secret Tomb's second layer is comprised of countless stone chambers, forming a natural labyrinth, and previously the Martial Sect disciples had already explored many paths.

Zhou Ceng pointed out a path of escape.

With that said.

Under full force aggression from the Divine Embryo, a fissure was smashed open in the Sea Suppression Array!

"...Good!"

Xie Xuanyi took a deep breath.

He thrust out a sword, the Annihilation Dao Realm tore through Zhou Ceng's fist intent, this strand of Sword Qi was incomparably sharp, directly extending through the shattered fissure of the Sea Suppression Array, ripping a passage through the entire great array!

A figure in black forcibly broke through the Sea Suppression Array and left!

Rumble!

The Bright King Sea Suppression Array thus shattered and collapsed.

Zhou Ceng stood in place, watching the departing figure in black, silent.

He merely silently touched the fresh blood on his cheek, feeling the naturally formed Annihilation Dao Realm upon it, thoughtfully.
