Chapter 281 The Truth of the Matter

　　Noisy and grandiose, vast and magnificent!

　　The majestic and terrifying sword intent slashed down fiercely, taking the Yellow Heaven as the sword, and the hearts of the people as the sword, wrapped in wind and thunder, mighty and unstoppable, splitting down. [Reality] combined with the Dao could only watch helplessly as this vast and magnificent, yet extremely pure sword, with unparalleled momentum, slashed down, directly into the space between his eyebrows!

　　[Reality] could only watch helplessly as this sword went straight for his eyebrows.

　　Countless laws and concepts converged and manifested.

　　Then, they came to block [Reality], transforming into world-level concept defense layers, overlapping layer upon layer towards the front. These defensive measures were enough to defend against the destruction of an entire world. [Reality]'s eyes were tearing apart, his hands gathered, and his eyes glared angrily: "Stop it for me!!!"

　　Crack!

　　The first layer of world-level defense had already been broken.

　　Then came the second layer.

　　The third layer.

　　One after another, world-level concepts gathered and shattered, but the speed of the sword became faster and faster, sharper and sharper.

　　[Reality]'s eyes were tearing apart.

　　Block it!

　　Block it!

　　Block, block——

　　It couldn't be blocked!

　　Boom!!

　　The last layer of law defense shattered.

　　Countless illusory forces of law scattered in all directions like shattered starlight, and then dissipated into light dust, without any defensive effect at all. [Reality] staggered backwards, falling backwards. In the next moment, a Chang'an sword pierced through [Reality]'s eyebrows from the vast Yellow Heaven, rotating violently, piercing through the throat and heart from the inside, and finally nailing him to death on the earth.

　　The next moment.

　　The magnificent and terrifying Yellow Heaven Sword instantly enveloped the entire [Reality].

　　One sword, shattered.

　　[Reality]'s remaining true spirit suddenly fled, abandoning the Dao fruit in order to save his life.

　　In an instant, it transformed into thousands of strands of law, and fled in all directions.

　　He was one of the top ten peaks of the Turbid World, a being who had obtained the Dao fruit. Even if he was severely injured at this moment and lost the Dao fruit, a tiger on the verge of death was the most terrifying. He could transform into thousands of forms, traverse the worlds, and traverse the years and space in an instant. At this moment, he even tried his best, not even caring about his old life, and didn't know how many worlds he had traversed.

　　He might even ignore the requirements of the Turbid World Grand Lord and pass through the Turbid World's blockade in one breath.

　　Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

　　"Finally, finally escaped."

　　"Finally, hahaha, finally..."

　　He raised his head and saw yellow clouds churning immortally, like the sky, reflecting streamers and surging purple lightning.

　　[Reality]'s expression froze.

　　His voice was hoarse and trembling.

　　"Impossible, impossible..."

　　"I definitely crossed the scope of more than one world just now."

　　"Even the South Sea of the God Era, I must have crossed it, I, how could I..."

　　"How could I still be here?"

　　A calm voice replied, "Can you surpass the sky, or cross cause and effect?"

　　Strands of golden cause and effect were inextricably intertwined. The place where the yellow clouds were located was the direction pointed by the cause and effect of Yuanshi Tianzun. He seemed to see the indifferent Taoist's sleeves slightly fluttering. The simple and plain Taoist robe seemed to be flowing with countless fine golden threads. His right hand held a sword, and his left hand's five fingers drooped slightly: "All the true spirits are here."

　　The five fingers closed together.

　　Slightly pressed down.

　　The yellow clouds churned endlessly, turning into a huge palm, wrapping the cause and effect, flowing with purple lightning.

　　The awakened one views the three thousand worlds as if observing the patterns on his palm. At this moment, strands of golden cause and effect converged and turned into the palm lines on the Yuanshi Tianzun's palm. Therefore, the nine heavens and ten earths could not escape. All the true spirit fragments of [Reality] were enveloped in it, kneeling and begging for mercy. Wei Yuan lowered his eyes: "Nine heavens and ten earths, wherever cause and effect are involved, past and future, as long as I still exist in the world."

　　"Your soul will be scattered, and you will never be reborn."

　　This was the authority of Yuanshi Tianzun, who controlled cause and effect.

　　Using [Cause and Effect] to prevent the top ten peaks from returning from the years.

　　Bearing the cause and effect of killing the top ten peaks entirely.

　　The Turbid World's [Reality] screamed out, "Zhurong!!! Save me!"

　　"Grand Lord, save me! Save me!"

　　At the edge of the sky, a golden-red blazing light suddenly lit up, and then swept across the sky in an instant, heading directly towards this place with滔天的气 (tao tian qi, overwhelming aura). [Reality] revealed a trace of joy, and then discovered that the God of Fire, Zhurong, did not seem to care about his current dying state at all, but instead went straight for the [Reality] Dao fruit.

　　!!!

　　[Reality]'s expression froze.

　　Yuanshi Tianzun answered indifferently, "Unfortunately, no one can save you."

　　The five fingers suddenly clenched together.

　　[Reality]'s true spirit completely turned into dust.

　　Even this dust did not gather in the slightest. In the end, even these dust particles disappeared without a trace.

　　The Turbid World, the top ten peaks.

　　The first of all the worlds, died in battle.

　　Soul scattered.

　　Never to be reborn.

　　The slayer - Yuxu. Yuanshi Tianzun.

　　Then, Wei Yuan released his right hand, and the rolling world of the Yellow Heaven in the sky returned to peace. The clouds dispersed. At this moment, a flame-like aura rose into the sky—just now, [Reality] cut off its tail to survive. Wei Yuan decided to kill the true spirit of Reality's consciousness, while Zhurong's aura went towards the Dao fruit.

　　Dense golden-red patterns appeared on the Dao fruit of [Reality].

　　Then, a slender and powerful palm slowly stretched out, holding it in its hand. The power representing annihilation flowed endlessly, rising up in strands, easily holding this Dao fruit that had lost its original consciousness in its hand. In the void, the aura flowed. Zhurong's eyes narrowed slightly. Suddenly, a golden-red blazing flame erupted in front of him.

　　The flames surrounded his body.

　　In an instant, it collided with another equally special flame.

　　The golden-red fire, burning the sky and destroying the earth, annihilating the world.

　　And the [Yanhuang Zhutian Qingyun] (Flame Yellow Heavens Celebration Cloud) tempered by the Yellow Heaven Fire and the Fire of the Human Heart.

　　Boom!!!

　　The Great Sun Golden Crow, who was barely resisting the interference of Reality with his own strength, was shocked awake by the impact of the two blazing auras. The internal aura was entangled endlessly, and he coughed out blood, his face like golden paper. He suddenly raised his head and saw that the sky, which should have been dark red, was divided in an instant, turning into two parts from the middle. One side was a golden-red flame, soaring into the sky. A young man wearing red clothes, with black hair hanging down and a handsome but indifferent face, carried his left hand behind his back and opened his right hand, dragging an object.

　　On the other side, yellow clouds churned endlessly, stretching and winding like yellow flames.

　　A Taoist with white hair at his temples and a sword mark between his eyebrows stood in the void.

　　Cause and effect缠绕 (chanrao, entangled) around him.

　　Holding a sword in his right hand, with a sharp and invincible cold light.

　　The two different but extremely strong blazing auras and authorities constantly collided, tearing the sky apart. The golden-red and Xuanhuang colors were clearly defined, like a sea of flames, but they were reversed and rose upwards, as if absorbing all the light of the entire world. Although its core was bright and clear, the surrounding area became increasingly dim.

　　In the entire world, only these two terrifying auras remained.

　　The Great Sun Golden Crow covered his chest.

　　He saw the Taoist with white hair at his temples and a jade hairpin binding his hair flick his sleeves. A Xuanse (dark black) streamer flew out from his sleeves, transforming into a flag, suddenly unfurling as if it could swallow the entire sky in one breath. It was the Turbid World treasure, the Xuan Black Turbid World Flag. Its authority suddenly expanded, encompassing everything it saw. The two blazing, domineering, yet upright auras were immediately covered up.

　　Wei Yuan slowly withdrew his left hand, looking at the God of Fire, Zhurong, in front of him, who was holding the [Reality] Dao fruit in one hand.

　　The God of Fire, Zhurong, carried his left hand behind his back, his sleeves and hem faintly lifted by the flames.

　　The wielder of [Annihilation].

　　One of the top ten peaks qualified to step into the scale of world destruction.

　　And—

　　The God of Fire, who should have been completely trapped in the interference of the [Reality] authority Dao fruit, unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, now had deep and restrained eyes, with an aura as deep as a prison. At least for now, there was no sign of interference. On the contrary, on the turbid and black Dao fruit of [Reality], faint golden patterns flowed and changed, bright and clear, sealing the turbid air, making it impossible to avoid or escape.

　　It seemed as if something had already been done secretly.

　　"God of Fire... Zhurong."

　　"You weren't trapped?"

　　Zhurong was silent for a long time, then answered, "...Perhaps I was trapped from the beginning."

　　"Or perhaps, I am still in this so-called realm of truth. Truth and falsehood, who can say for sure?"

　　"But I also have to thank you for injuring Him so badly earlier. I needed your help to restore my original cultivation state, which gave me an opportunity..."

　　"And just now, you chose to kill His true spirit, instead of plundering His Dao fruit."

　　"It seems that you also have enough hatred with Him. I can understand."

　　"It's just a pity that this Dao fruit will fall into my hands."

　　Zhurong clenched his hand, and the [Reality] Dao fruit lit up slightly, and then gradually dissipated, absorbed into his body. At this moment, a sharp and unpredictable sword energy erupted again. Zhurong's expression did not change. The authority of the flames of焚天煮海 (fentianzhuhai, burning the heavens and boiling the seas) and annihilating all laws spread out vast and mighty, and then was pierced by a sword.

　　The vast flames, endless annihilation.

　　One sword.

　　Broken!

　　After a collision between the majestic sword energy and the blazing flames, Zhurong's figure dissipated and left, no longer existing. Only the [Dao Fruit] was wrapped in this endless golden-red flame. The flame slowly dissipated, and the Dao Fruit also disappeared without a trace. The Great Sun Golden Crow sighed in his heart. After all, he was the God of Fire, Zhurong. In addition, [Reality] did not know how he had angered Yuanshi Tianzun.

　　It actually made Him give up subduing the Dao fruit in the first place.

　　He had to suppress and annihilate [Reality]'s own spirituality, scattering it as dust, never to be reborn.

　　Then, when he retracted his gaze, his expression froze slightly, and he widened his eyes in disbelief.

　　Wei Yuan stood in the void, holding a sword in his right hand, and his left hand was slightly open, with an object flowing in his palm as well.

　　It was part of the [Reality] Dao Fruit.

　　Or rather, part of the authority concept of the Reality Dao Fruit.

　　This, how is this possible...

　　The Great Sun Golden Crow looked at the [Reality] Dao fruit that also existed in Wei Yuan's hand with a somewhat blank expression.

　　His brain was blank.

　　After a long time, a possibility flashed through his mind that he instinctively avoided and disbelieved—

　　The [Reality] Dao Fruit, was cut open?!

　　This, impossible...

　　How could anyone split the Dao Fruit?

　　Could swordsmanship reach this level?

　　Wei Yuan retracted his gaze, feeling somewhat regretful in his heart. This was not a true [Reality] Dao Fruit. The true core of the Dao Fruit was still in Zhurong's hands. After all, the latter had taken the lead, and his skills were much more complete than Wei Yuan's. He was also extremely good at frontal killing, and his speed was also known as lightning and fire, which highly overlapped with Wei Yuan's own strengths.

　　Being able to cut off part of the authority and mythical concepts carried by the Dao fruit.

　　He already had experience from before.

　　After all, he had already cut the two great Thunder Dao Fruits of the Turbid World and the Clear World before.

　　Nothing else,

　　Only practice makes perfect.

　　A sentence immediately flashed through his mind: "Put salt here, and those who are skilled can dip and eat it."

　　He smiled self-deprecatingly, and then felt lost again.

　　He probably couldn't even make the simplest dishes now.

　　However, the authority of Reality in his hand, illusory like mist, ethereal and solitary, should be able to refine a very powerful spiritual treasure.

　　Looking at the Women's Kingdom below, this country had more than ten million people.

　　At this moment, all of them had been drawn into the possibility of [Reality].

　　Wei Yuan shook his head, clenched his five fingers, and directly crushed the authority and concepts left behind by this Dao Fruit, turning them into the purest laws. Then, the Yin and Yang in front of him flowed, and the clear and turbid cause and effect followed his will. He pointed out a finger in the void, and his sleeves fluttered. The vast and majestic Yellow Heaven Qingyun above the sky suddenly dispersed, turning into a huge Yin-Yang Taiji diagram.

　　Reversing cause and effect, inverting fate!

　　With a sweep of his sleeves, in an instant, he had already reversed cause and effect, using the power of cause and effect, as well as the remaining authority of [Reality].

　　Awakening these beings who had fallen into the [Reality Possibility].

　　Looking at the [Reality Mythical Concept] that was gradually dissipating due to rough use, Wei Yuan smiled self-deprecatingly.

　　"As expected, I'm still a pauper."

　　"I deserve to be poor."

　　"But, it's quite beautiful."

　　The yellow Qingyun flowed immortally, strands of ethereal streamers like morning sun snow, scattered like stars, falling into every corner of the Women's Kingdom, illuminating the darkness of the Turbid World. This scene of the mythical concept dispersing was indeed beautiful and dreamlike. The Taoist looked at this scene and said, "It's worth it."

　　With a sweep of his sleeves, the Chang'an sword turned into a streamer.

　　Wei Yuan turned around freely. Then, his movements suddenly froze.

　　In the fragments of the Reality Mythical Concept, under the starlight like rain, he saw the young Taoist wearing a simple Taoist robe and holding a nine-section staff, standing behind him with a gentle smile. Wei Yuan was stunned. After a long time, he murmured:

　　"...Teacher?"
