Chapter 57 Collision of Mountain and Sea

In fact, Ye Chu Xiao's timing was quite accurate.

This battle, which had deviated from its original trajectory from the very beginning due to his intervention, had only two possible outcomes at this point.

Mutual destruction, or a ceasefire, each taking a step back.

In any case, as far as Marquis Jinghai, Lin Lan, was concerned, his primary goal had already been achieved. Qin Gongjia had been forced into the sea and could no longer set foot on the mainland, and the turmoil in the Chu Kingdom's water system was settled.

Qin Gongjia's death would only make the result more transparent and reduce uncertainty, but even if he didn't die, with the Great Chu Dynasty acting behind the scenes, the impact wouldn't be too great.

Therefore, there was a high probability that Lin Lan would tend to withdraw and stop this mutually consuming battle that was dragging them both into the abyss of death.

However, at this very moment, Ye Chu Xiao made his move.

Mountain and sea collided in an extraordinary way.

Ye Chu Xiao was not an Intent Realm cultivator, so the array he controlled could not interfere with the Intent Realm of Intent Realm cultivators. Generally speaking, even if he stirred up a huge energy storm, it would be difficult for him to penetrate the Intent Realm and cause damage.

However, at this time, both Lin Lan and Qin Gongjia were already heavily injured and half-crippled, and their respective Intent Realms had been mostly destroyed in the collision. If they wanted to rebuild them, they would need to recover from their injuries first.

Ye Chu Xiao's fierce attack really gave these two Intent Realm great cultivators a hard time.

In the midst of the violent energy conflict, the two men struggled to prop up their defenses, but they swayed like candlelight in a storm, ready to be extinguished at any time.

What was deadly was not the energy raging outside, but the damage they had inflicted on each other, which was repeatedly deepened in this sudden energy storm.

Those forces that had invaded each other's bodies, carrying strong personal will and spirituality, were like Gu worms, devouring their bodies and even contaminating their souls.

"Who is this villain, daring to plot against Lin? Does he think that Lin's sword is not sharp enough, or that the Chu Kingdom's army is not enough to deter all sides?" Lin Lan roared, his tyrannical aura able to affect Ye Chu Xiao even through the array.

Ye Chu Xiao struck even harder!

All the killing intent of the array was activated, and all the arrays were operating in an overloaded, over-frequency state. Within a few seconds, more than a dozen array nodes exploded due to this overloaded operation, causing the entire array to become unbalanced, and various array arrangements fell into a chaotic and disordered state.

Was Ye Chu Xiao's operation a self-inflicted wound?

Was it destroying the Great Wall?

Would such an overloaded drive affect the usage time of the array?

Frankly speaking, all of this was bullshit!

At this time, would Ye Chu Xiao still care about these things?

Wanting to trap these two people with an array that had already been riddled with holes by the aftermath of the battle, Ye Chu Xiao would not be so delusional even if he thought about it more.

As for the duration of the array, if it couldn't achieve its purpose, a longer time would only be wasting a limited opportunity.

Opportunities were fleeting, and a second of hesitation would lead to a different outcome.

Since he had already made a move, he should not leave any room for maneuver.

Mountain and sea, heaven and earth, were like layers of palms, repeatedly slapping towards the two people in the array.

They repeatedly shattered the protections they had propped up, while also making their injuries worse and even more unsustainable.

After the killing intent in the array had rotated twice and Qin Gongjia and Lin Lan had slightly figured out some of the rules, Ye Chu Xiao did it once and for all, directly detonating the great array, forming a completely disordered and unregulated energy explosion.

This was the main course that Ye Chu Xiao had left for them, and it was also the real confidence that Ye Chu Xiao dared to launch the attack.

"Bastard, stop!"

"What kind of hatred is this, that you would perish with us?" Qin Gongjia and Lin Lan shouted at the same time, and they both looked at each other, tacitly agreeing that the other had attracted a madman.

As a series of dazzling lights rose.

The sky was shaking, the earth was shaking, and everything that could be perceived was shaking violently.

Ye Chu Xiao was also in the midst of this violent explosion.

The last array in front of him, used as protection, also shattered in just three breaths.

Ye Chu Xiao very simply collected all the valuable treasures, and then calmly faced 'death'.

His flesh and blood were repeatedly reorganized and regenerated in the explosion.

About twenty breaths later, all the explosions finally stopped.

The mountain was still trembling and collapsing, and the sea was still surging and boiling, but the intense energy conflict that was difficult to control had quietly dissipated.

Ye Chu Xiao once again reshaped his body, summoned the Yuanyang Armor and Yuanyang Blade to protect him, and exhaled a long breath, his face pale.

He almost trapped himself too!

If it weren't for the extraordinary nature of the Divine Tree Spiritual Root, he would have also struggled to extract a large amount of energy in that intense energy burst to provide energy for his own body reorganization, and he would have really been finished.

Obviously, for a moment, things also got out of Ye Chu Xiao's control.

He hadn't really calculated everything without flaws.

After all, the body reorganization of a Wisdom Realm cultivator was not the same as the body reshaping of a Suffering Realm cultivator back then.

It required hundreds of times more energy, which meant that Ye Chu Xiao needed to gather more majestic heaven and earth energy in the instant of reshaping his body.

Ordinary cultivators didn't have such a domineering spiritual root as Ye Chu Xiao, and even if they had cultivated the Nine Deaths Demonic Art, they probably wouldn't dare to use it so unscrupulously. When they reached a high realm, they could only use it as a self-healing technique, and they probably wouldn't dare to use the miracle of resurrection.

Not only was it a drain on energy, but each reorganization of the body consumed a lot of spirit, so Ye Chu Xiao also felt like his head was about to explode.

This was the result of a large consumption of spirit.

If he continued, he might even risk regressing in realm.

Wisdom Realm was just that, although it mainly focused on mental cultivation, it was far from reaching the point where one proof was eternal.

Ye Chu Xiao himself was at the edge of the explosion, and he was already so miserable.

What about the two people at the center of the explosion?

Between the rising and falling of the sea, the old dragon transformed by Qin Gongjia had been broken into five pieces, and dragon blood covered half of the sea.

From a distance, it seemed that he had already died, his death was miserable.

As for Lin Lan, he was holding a broadsword, floating between the turbulent waves, his red armor mostly broken, his body covered with messy wounds, his eyes closed and half-kneeling, his breath faint, as if he would die in the next second.

"Damn it!" Ye Chu Xiao didn't feel happy when he saw this scene, but instead felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

Of course, Qin Gongjia was not dead, and Lin Lan had not really reached the end of his rope.

They were just injured again, and more seriously injured.

Perhaps only one or two-tenths of their cultivation and skills remained.

So they were deliberately feigning weakness, posing in this way, waiting for Ye Chu Xiao to take the initiative to approach, and then joining forces to kill Ye Chu Xiao.

Of course, Ye Chu Xiao could also not go over.

But how could he collect the spoils of war if he didn't go over?

Delaying time was only harmful to Ye Chu Xiao, not beneficial.

Qin Gongjia and Lin Lan were not.

They also hoped that they could bluff Ye Chu Xiao in this way and make him retreat in the face of difficulties.

As for revenge, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future when their injuries healed.

The three parties were deadlocked for about two breaths.

Then, Ye Chu Xiao's fingertip moved slightly.

A purple ray of light swept from his position towards the center of Qin Gongjia and Lin Lan.

"Dao rhythm!"

"It's actually Dao rhythm?"

Qin Gongjia and Lin Lan were both shocked at the same time.

Of course, they both knew about Dao rhythm, and Qin Gongjia had even been lucky enough to obtain a wisp of it in the past.

It was precisely because they knew about Dao rhythm that they couldn't help but be drawn to it.

This was especially true for Qin Gongjia.

His dragon head opened his eyes and stared intently at the wisp of Dao rhythm flying towards him. Almost without hesitation, he crashed into it in an instant.

If he had the opportunity to break free from this world, then he would live out infinite possibilities.

Compared to this possibility, everything else was not worth mentioning.

And Lin Lan also obviously thought that this was Qin Gongjia's 'turning point'. Once Qin Gongjia obtained the Dao rhythm and entered the heavens.

Then everything he had done before might be a waste of effort.

Therefore, the alliance, which was so short that it could only be measured by the number of breaths, quickly disintegrated under Ye Chu Xiao's wisp of Dao rhythm.

Lin Lan took half a step forward and grabbed towards the Dao rhythm.

Leaving aside other things, Lin Lan had also coveted the Dao rhythm itself for a long time.

It was just that the opportunity had never arrived, and he could only sigh helplessly.

Now that he had the opportunity to touch it, he didn't want to miss it.

As for this being Ye Chu Xiao's conspiracy?

Even at this point, neither Qin Gongjia nor Lin Lan had ever thought that they might really be taken advantage of by Ye Chu Xiao.

They were Intent Realm cultivators, the top group below the Immobile Realm.

They had the pride and condescension to look down on all cultivators below them.

Usually speaking, it was difficult for cultivators below the Intent Realm, even the so-called peak of the Wisdom Realm, to break through the Intent Realm.

The higher the level of the realm gap, the more it was like a world of difference.

The blood-stained dragon head bit the broadsword covered with cracks. Even in this state, the two Intent Realm cultivators still had an undisguised majesty.

The incomplete realms collided for the last time.

Then, in an instant, they both annihilated.

Lin Lan still retained more strength after all. In the moment of lightning and flint, he successfully snatched the Dao rhythm and integrated it into his body.

At the same time, this action also stimulated Qin Gongjia.

He angrily spat out gilded flames. This flame, carrying the aura of his origin, covered Lin Lan's body and penetrated into Lin Lan's internal organs.

Lin Lan could only squeeze out the last bit of strength he had retained, and desperately blocked the penetration of the gilded flames. He didn't even have the energy to pay more attention to the talent and changes brought about by integrating the Dao rhythm.

At this time, Ye Chu Xiao finally approached the two.

The Yuanyang Blade in his hand drew a full arc.

He used his ultimate move as soon as he made a move.

The color of the sky and water were the same, which was in line with the intention of being located between the sky and the sea at this time.

The light of the sky and the shadow of the clouds, the light of the blade and the light of the Dao, seemed to be entangled and intertwined together.

Complex and simple, the word 'absolute' was not enough to completely describe the stunning nature of this blade.

However, such a blade only cut through Lin Lan's chest and broke off Qin Gongjia's last remaining dragon horn.

Although it made their injuries worse and weaker, it did not achieve the originally imagined effect.

Bang!

A heavy punch came towards Ye Chu Xiao.

The one who made the move was Lin Lan.

While blocking the gilded flames from invading his internal organs, he extracted half of his energy and punched Ye Chu Xiao.

This punch was simple, but it suppressed the surrounding air and bound the airflow, making it impossible for Ye Chu Xiao to dodge.

Facing it head-on, Ye Chu Xiao met it with his blade, and the Yuanyang Blade was broken into two pieces.

The Yuanyang Armor was also severely damaged and retracted into his body, unable to be used again in a short time.

The Ice Lotus was also extremely damaged, and its overall gloss decreased by one degree.

After three weakenings, Ye Chu Xiao took this punch, his chest slightly collapsed, and the external injuries were not serious.

The difficulty was the internal injuries.

A wisp of True Qi from an Intent Realm cultivator invaded his body, like a virus, rapidly parasitizing in his body and growing stronger.

Ye Chu Xiao was unable to resist this parasitism at all, and could not even expel it with True Qi.

Forced to, he self-destructed on the spot.

When he self-destructed, his flesh and blood scattered, and the parasitized flesh and blood and True Qi were controlled by Ye Chu Xiao and removed. After reorganizing into a human form, he drove the flames and burned all this flesh and blood to ashes.

Severe headaches, wave after wave, attacked Ye Chu Xiao.

Ye Chu Xiao endured the headache and began to arrange around Lin Lan and Qin Gongjia.

Those accidentally collected poisons, Gu poisons, vicious curses, forbidden talismans, and props were all used on these two.

He no longer cared whether he would take them away in one wave.

Only by living could he have the opportunity to collect the spoils of war.

If he died, then it would be someone else's spoils of war.

Ye Chu Xiao was still very clear about the difference.

Most of these things could not actually take effect on Intent Realm cultivators.

But they had hurt each other too deeply, and even if half of these things would interfere with them.

That would be a deadly poison and great harm to them.

Because the different kinds of energy that had invaded their bodies would crazily reproduce and amplify when they were distracted and unable to resist.

These different kinds of forces were the best things to restrict each other.

Layers of weakening, layers of reduction, layers of sealing.

Finally, Ye Chu Xiao exhausted all the negative Buff accumulation in his hand, and the surrounding Inverted Binding Array had also taken shape.

The Ice Lotus flew out and began to enlarge beside Ye Chu Xiao.

A group of ten cultivators with weaker cultivation levels were released by Ye Chu Xiao from the Ice Lotus, and then resolved with a wave of his hand.

The recycled Dao rhythm could not be digested for the time being.

The empty space in the Ice Lotus was used to create two separate 'cells'.

Layers upon layers, with aurora as the key, multiple arrangements were made.

Only then did he lead Qin Gongjia and Lin Lan, sending the two who had completely lost their ability to resist into the Ice Lotus.

At the same time, Ye Chu Xiao also made a warning line. Once these two cultivated and ascended the tower, recovering to a certain level, then Ye Chu Xiao would immediately take action and apply Buff to them.

Not only that, Ye Chu Xiao also secretly determined that he would imprison the two for a maximum of three months, and then kill them to obtain Dao rhythm.

Otherwise, the imprisonment time would be too long and too dangerous.

Intent Realm cultivators could not be taken lightly, and Ye Chu Xiao did not know whether these two, who were obviously seriously injured and dying, still had any hidden cards and methods that had not been used.

In order to be safe, even if the benefits were worse, he could not cause accidents due to excessive greed.

"Three months should be enough for them to cultivate and ascend the tower to the bottleneck period. As for the stage that requires time to polish after that, I can't wait... and I can't afford to raise them," Ye Chu Xiao thought.

After cleaning up Qin Gongjia and Lin Lan, he also picked up the broken dragon body floating on the sea as materials.

Ye Chu Xiao covered his head, thought about it, and did not return to the land, but directly drove the Ice Lotus and flew towards the deep sea.
