Chapter 218 The Land Beneath the Abyss

Blinding red light soared into the sky, rapidly spreading and expanding from the pillar of light as its epicenter.

Everything it touched was submerged in the red light, shattered, annihilated, and disappeared.

Soil, rocks, and the shattered remnants of trees and ice—all were completely engulfed in the dazzling red light.

Near the Wu Mian Sword School's stronghold, the red zone expanded at an unimaginable speed, quickly consuming parts of the stronghold's outer edges.

Some disciples, who didn't have time to react, were swallowed and annihilated in a moment of distraction, becoming part of the red light.

"Bai Lu!!" Kui Ling cried out, her eyes brimming with tears as she watched Li Cheng Yi being completely engulfed.

She had thought that Li Cheng Yi had lost his mind and was controlled by some unknown force, but his previous action of deliberately leading Huo Qing Kong away to fight on the periphery showed that he was still conscious and knew to consider the people here.

But now… it was all too late.

If they had all acted together just now to help Bai Lu suppress Huo Qing Kong, could they have…?

The thought flashed through her mind, but a voice beside her interrupted her.

"It's coming."

Saint Spirit looked at the towering red light, and a trace of memory finally flashed in his eyes.

That was the original light that restarted everything. It was the decomposing light that could destroy and restore everything.

"In the past, it was also like this… blood-like light illuminated everything, and then everything was gone," Saint Spirit said indifferently.

The six elders did not have such memories as he did, but despairingly watched the red light easily devour a corner of the great formation, and then approached the core of the formation as if nothing had happened.

The massive power of the formation was as if it did not exist.

"What is that! Senior brother! Do you know something!?"

Elder Yuan Ling grabbed Saint Spirit Taoist's robe.

"That is fate… the great calamity that we are destined to be completely destroyed by," Saint Spirit said lightly.

He looked up into the distance, where Qing Yang Zhenren of the Years Gate clutched her wound, also facing the rapidly approaching red light.

Her beautiful eyes widened, revealing a trace of determination.

*Hiss!*

In an instant, she transformed back into her original form, countless huge snow-white fox tails unfolding from behind her, emitting a soft white light.

It was just that without the help of the golden-masked man before, the volume of the fox tails was much smaller.

"Zero Hour Secret Technique: Rain Falls on Heavenly Garments."

Pure silver flames burned on her body, the true fire that belonged to her.

"Go!"

Facing the rapidly approaching red light, she unleashed her full power for the last time.

The true fire after a normal breakthrough would naturally derive the first characteristic, which was that the attack must hit.

She was like this, Saint Spirit was like this, the Jade Balance Sect Master and Qing Mu Zhenren were all the same.

This was the commonality brought by all Pan Guang's cultivation methods.

At this time, Qing Yang Zhenren was doing the same, fully unleashing her characteristic and true fire, releasing her strongest killing move.

All her fox tails suddenly contracted, turning into a white and gorgeous giant sword, the surface of the giant sword covered with silver true fire, and with a mysterious and strange arc, it slammed into the red light.

Silently.

The giant sword sank into the red light, but did not cause even a ripple, only slowing down its spread a little, nothing more.

Qing Yang Zhenren's expression was also without any waves, quietly relaxing, watching the rapidly approaching red light, waiting for death to arrive.

She seemed to have known the ending for a long time.

The remaining disciples of the Wu Mian Sword School, under the leadership of the stewards, were still frantically gathering their skills, trying to combine the great formation to resist.

But more people had already left the formation, flying away in the opposite direction of the red light's spread.

No one wanted to die.

If they could live a little longer, they would live a little longer. Even ants try to survive, let alone humans.

As some disciples collapsed, the stewards also began to flee and evacuate.

Among the six elders, Yu Ling and Yuan Ling suddenly stood up.

"Sect leader! Things are irreversible! Why not leave now and make a comeback later!?"

"It's useless," Saint Spirit shook his head and pointed to the distant sky.

Everyone followed his finger and looked, only to find that in the further distance, there was also a huge red light lit up, spreading and squeezing towards here from a distance.

"There's also one over there!"

Elder Mu Ling exclaimed, looking in another direction.

Southeast, northwest, every direction had huge red lights soaring into the sky, submerging and shattering everything.

The four red lights completely blocked everyone's hope of escape.

"Hahahaha!!!"

The mad laughter of Wu Mian Shusheng rang out at this time, like thunder shaking everyone's eardrums.

The red light rapidly dyed the sky red, the black clouds were gone, and everything was completely turned into blood red, reflecting the earth.

The black snow and frost were also rapidly reddened and dyed under the erosion of the countless red lights.

The huge black crack struggled to resist, but still could not compete with the increasingly huge blood-colored light pillar.

It wailed, making a *kaka* sound, constantly being squeezed and shrinking, smaller and smaller, thinner and thinner.

Until it turned into a thin line, a ten-thousand-meter thin line.

The surrounding area was already full of blood-red light, occupying everything.

"Senior brother, is this your last trump card?"

Suddenly, a low voice interrupted Wu Mian Shusheng's mad laughter at this time.

At the bottom of the black line, Li Cheng Yi, who was originally completely submerged in the red light, was now shrouded in a thick white mist.

The white mist constantly offset the surrounding red light coverage, endlessly, as if infinite.

His blurred outline was projected from the white mist, slowly walking out step by step.

As he advanced, a crisp sound like metal hitting a mirror instantly rang in everyone's hearts.

Not a sound, nor a vibration, just a resonance that naturally arose from the depths of the heart.

As if that sound was quietly emanating from the bottom of their own hearts.

"That's the sound of footsteps!" Saint Spirit and Qing Yang simultaneously had a glint in their eyes, looking in the direction of the white mist.

The situation, which was originally thought to be a certain death, now had a new variable!

"You're not dead yet!?" Wu Mian Shusheng slowly flew up from the red light, looking at the white mist humanoid not far away.

"You didn't think that the kind of weak and powerless attack just now could kill me, did you?" Li Cheng Yi said.

In the white mist, the humanoid suddenly took a step.

"Have you ever heard of it… Beneath extreme evil, all is fertile land."

*Whoosh!!*

A violent gale instantly swept and exploded from the humanoid.

*Bang!!*

At the same time, the thin line crack behind the humanoid suddenly opened, and one after another, strangely shaped black giants stretched out their hundreds-of-meters-long giant hands, forcibly propping open the crack, roaring outwards.

The surrounding red light was suddenly swallowed and covered by the expanding black, and the sky rapidly changed from blood red to night.

A deeper, thicker black than before replaced the red light again, becoming the only main color between heaven and earth at this time.

"What kind of power is this!?" The countless heads on Wu Mian Shusheng's body roared at the same time.

He turned around, the sharp claws in his hand burning with a dazzling fire with a red silver edge.

"The power of restart is actually being suppressed!?"

He looked at the darkening sky in disbelief.

Countless black snowflakes fell again, and even more than before, even colder.

*Boom!!*

In an instant, white mist ripples exploded beneath him, and the person had disappeared from the spot, rushing towards Li Cheng Yi.

"As long as I kill you! Everything can be restored to its original state!!! Die for me!!!"

Before the manic roar landed, Wu Mian Shusheng's sharp claws fell towards the space in front of Li Cheng Yi.

He did not directly attack Li Cheng Yi's main body, but attacked the small space in front of him.

The strange red silver-edged flames tried to completely solidify that space and then tear it to pieces.

At this moment, Li Cheng Yi took a step forward, his figure completely rushing out of the white mist, holding his sword in both hands, and slashing horizontally with a golden line.

The two figures instantly collided and crashed into each other.

*Ding!!!*

A light sound in the world, followed by a red light exploding in circles.

Wu Mian Shusheng's whole body shook violently, his power was completely suppressed, completely unable to resist the opponent's slash.

The restart's Mandate of Heaven form was the strongest original body form in this world, the only essence condensed from the entire world, dozens of times stronger than he was before, but such power was actually…

*Boom!!!*

A circle of blood-colored ripples exploded, and he had been blasted away by a huge force, shooting backward like a shooting star.

But before he could fly far, a black light flashed, and Li Cheng Yi's figure flashed, appearing behind him, holding his sword in both hands and slashing.

*Dang!*

Another sword completely shattered the power he was about to recover, and the red silver-edged flames had only condensed a little before being scattered again.

Wu Mian Shusheng re-fired towards a new direction, but the terrifying thing was that the golden light flashed again.

Li Cheng Yi seemed to have transformed into thousands, appearing in countless directions around him in the blink of an eye, simultaneously shining golden light and slashing down on him.

*Ding ding ding ding ding ding!!*

Dense collision sounds rang out in a single piece.

"The final blow."

Li Cheng Yi's figure blurred and flashed at the top, two golden swords reappearing, the hilts connected, turning into a double-headed blade.

The ten-meter-long blade lit up with a dazzling golden light.

A flash downwards.

'Instant Prison.'

*Chi!!!*

The golden sword turned into a golden thread, falling down, instantly dividing the world into two, hitting Wu Mian Shusheng's chest straight on.

*Puchi.*

The golden light pierced into flesh and blood, but was blocked by the even more dazzling red light inside, only piercing in halfway.

At this moment, Wu Mian Shusheng's entire body actually flashed red light rapidly.

"I am immortal! I am the Mandate of Heaven of the world!! Eternally immortal! Eternally indestructible!!" He laughed wildly.

With a loud bang.

His whole person completely exploded, and the terrifying shock wave turned into a red shock, hitting Li Cheng Yi, who was close at hand.

But a black light flashed, and the air wave was easily avoided by flashing before it could take effect.

Li Cheng Yi then appeared in the sky several thousand meters away.

At this time, with the speed stopped, everyone could see clearly what he looked like now.

He was wearing a set of blurred, semi-transparent gray-white gorgeous armor.

The armor had a wide cloak, a hideous helmet, huge horns with spiraling twists combined on the top of the head, and it was thick and gorgeous all over, with twelve kinds of blurred patterns looming at the joints. A dazzling silver light shone gorgeously between his eyebrows.

But for some reason, the armor could not be completely seen clearly, as if it was just a layer of illusory projection.
