Chapter 713: Eternal Fruit, Taishang Jue
Chapter 713: Eternal Fruit, Taishang Jue
In the Taiwei Great World.
Zhu Xi, clad in white, stood atop a cloud, gazing down at the vast, desolate land below. Behind her, several hundred people followed, each exuding a formidable aura as they, too, looked down at the land, their faces filled with shock.
Following their gazes, the endless earth was a scene of devastation, riddled with craters, mountains flattened, and smoke billowing between heaven and earth, threatening to overturn the cloud sea.
At the edge of the land, a sea of fire stretched tens of thousands of feet high, as if it were about to engulf the entire world, a sight both terrifying and awe-inspiring.
Zhu Xi squinted her eyes, and in the midst of that terrifying sea of fire, she saw a figure that filled her with fear.
"Who is that person? To dare attack the Divine Court's boundary mountains?"
"So terrifying, those Divine Court greats were wiped out in an instant."
"He seems somewhat deranged. Could he have gone mad with power?"
"Even if he has, to possess such terrifying strength, his cultivation must be astronomically high."
"Regardless, since he's not targeting us, we shouldn't make any rash moves."
The cultivators murmured among themselves, and though Zhu Xi did not join their discussion, she, too, was filled with curiosity.
Having stood firm in the Taiwei Great World for hundreds of thousands of years, this was the first time she had witnessed such overwhelming power and such a bold move against the Divine Court.
Her intuition told her that even more terrifying events were yet to come, and the Taiwei Great World would face an unprecedented disaster.
She hesitated, unsure whether she should flee the Taiwei Great World.
The Divine Court had colluded with the Xianshen, committing heinous deeds. She had always believed that the Divine Court's actions would eventually be exposed, leading to a complete transformation of the Taiwei Great World. She wanted to take over the Divine Court and establish a new Holy Court, a goal she had pursued for hundreds of thousands of years. She had finally gathered a significant force, and the thought of giving it all up was difficult for her to accept.
And...
The figure in the sea of fire gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
At that moment, a vast, heavy pressure enveloped the entire world. Zhu Xi and the others looked up to see a dark aura descending from the far end of the cloud sea, surging toward the ground with unstoppable force.
This dark aura plunged into the boundless sea of fire at an incredible speed, causing the flames to scatter and unleash a fierce wind that ravaged the heavens and earth. Zhu Xi and the others immediately channeled their powers to withstand the scorching heat.
Zhu Xi squinted her eyes and saw the dark aura vanish upon impact with the sea of fire.
She had seen this dark aura before; it belonged to one of the greats of the Divine Court, whose cultivation was so profound that it had once brought her despair. Fortunately, in that battle, the target had been someone else, and she had merely been caught in the crossfire, eventually managing to turn the tide to her favor.
A wild thought crossed Zhu Xi's mind.
"Who... who are you?"
A voice filled with terror echoed, causing the other cultivators around Zhu Xi to pale with shock. They recognized this voice as well.
Li Chengfeng, a great cultivator of the Divine Court, was of the Celestial Realm of Supreme Freedom, a renowned divine general who had slain countless enemies and was known for his ferocity.
When facing Li Chengfeng, they could only look up in fear, never having seen him speak with such a tone.
Fear, despair...
Had Li Chengfeng been defeated the moment he arrived?
Hundreds of divine senses probed the area, and they all gasped in unison.
"Retreat!"
Zhu Xi immediately ordered, and with that, she turned and fled, the others following closely behind, none of them hesitating, their hearts filled with terror.
In the distance, the sea of fire dissipated, revealing a white-haired man standing bare-chested on the scorched earth. His right hand was raised, gripping the neck of a purple-robed man, hoisting him high into the air.
The man in the purple robe was none other than Li Chengfeng of the Divine Court. His hair was disheveled, his face covered in blood, and his eyes brimmed with fear.
One move!
His opponent had defeated his Dao fruit with a single move, causing all his magical power to dissipate.
He now had no strength to resist and could only wait for death.
The profound and unpredictable nature of his opponent made him uneasy. He felt that the Divine Court was in for serious trouble.
He had never encountered such an enemy, and the Qi emanating from the other man made him even more anxious.
The white-haired man was tall and muscular, with clear muscle lines on his upper body. His skin was pale, and his face was handsome, but his pupils were a ghostly white, giving him an eerie appearance.
"Eternal fruit... eternal fruit..."
The white-haired man asked in a cold voice, his words broken and disjointed, as if his mind was not clear.
Li Chengfeng gritted his teeth and said, "I have never heard of the eternal fruit. If you are here for the fruit, I can have the Divine Court help you find it..."
Crack!
Li Chengfeng's neck was suddenly twisted, and his words were cut short.
His eyes widened, and his soul could not escape his physical body. Then, he turned to ash, scattering in the wind.
The white-haired man turned and flew in a certain direction.
Elsewhere.
Zhu Xi and the others were still fleeing at high speed. They could sense Li Chengfeng's Qi suddenly disappearing, indicating that he had likely fallen.
What kind of being could cause someone as powerful as Li Chengfeng to fall so quickly?
Zhu Xi was equally shocked. The image of the white-haired man lingered in her mind, refusing to leave.
Faced with such a terrifying existence, she could not think of anything else, only fear.
Boom—
Heaven and Earth suddenly erupted with a thunderous boom. A blinding light swept from behind, engulfing Zhu Xi and the others, and an unimaginable strong wind followed.
At the same time.
In the depths of the universe, before the Realm Gate.
A Celestial Deity opened his eyes, and in his pupils, the image of the Taiwei Great World was reflected. From the universe, the Taiwei Great World appeared as a luminous continent, surrounded by countless small heavens and earths. At that moment, the luminous continent was trembling, and thick smoke was rising from a certain area.
"Hmm? Where did this person come from?"
The Celestial Deity muttered to himself, beginning to calculate with his fingers. His expression grew increasingly strange.
"War Spirit Holy Palace... Taishang Jue... It's actually him, and he's still alive?"
The Celestial Deity's brows furrowed, and he stood up, turning to enter the Realm Gate.
A hurricane swept from the depths of the universe, but the Realm Gate remained steadfast, unaffected.
The hurricane lasted for a long time, and when it finally subsided, the Celestial Deity had not returned.
At the other end of the universe, the intense light from the Taiwei Great World was gradually fading. The white-haired man appeared in the void, holding someone in his hand.
"You... the War Spirit Holy Palace wants to oppose the Heavenly Court?"
The man in his hand was an elderly Daoist with a sage-like appearance, the Xian Lord hidden within the Divine Court, known as Han Chaxianjun.
He could sense the karma of the white-haired man, which came from the War Spirit Holy Palace, a powerful Dao Court that did not belong to the Heavenly Court.
The white-haired man, Taishang Jue, ignored him, grabbed his head, and stepped into the void.
A spatial rift appeared in front of him, and he stepped into it, taking Han Chaxianjun with him, vanishing without a trace. The spatial rift quickly disappeared as if nothing had happened.
But the Heavenly Dao light of the Taiwei Great World was fading, signaling that a tremendous battle had just taken place.
