Chapter 168: The Power of the Sword Revered
As the seventh of the Heavenly Generals under 'Xuan', Huang Qi was a Dongzhen Realm existence.
Transcending Combined Dao and Passage to Profound Realm, second only to the 'Immortal', the peak existence in the Tai Xuan Realm.
Even for just a split second, the power he unleashed was enough to annihilate the entire Chifeng No. 47 Stellar System, and even the entire Chiyu Star System.
But he didn't do that, not even wasting a single shred of power to kill Chi Jiuyu, who had just stepped on his head and brought him endless humiliation.
The terrifying essence of the Dongzhen Realm immediately began to burn without reservation.
Huang Qi, Li Ke a streak of crimson-gold light, leaped out, traversing through more than half of the star clusters in the Western Star Region.
Even the most advanced warp engines today were less than one ten-thousandth of his speed at this moment.
In just a split second within the gap of the Sword Revered's sealing power, he crossed space and arrived at the edge of the Western Star Region.
In his eyes were clusters of magnificent and unfamiliar nebulae, colorful and dreamlike, scattered against the deep cosmic backdrop.
A vast and boundless continent, Li Ke the foundation of the world, was hidden beneath countless dreamlike nebulae.
Its essence was so immense that it even surpassed all the star Systems in the Western Star Region combined.
Central Holy Land!
Huang Qi's body was now gaunt and wrinkled, and the divine fire between his brows had become extremely dim. The burning of his vast essence had left him almost depleted, but a trace of nostalgia flickered in his dim eyes.
How many years had it been? He had finally seen the scene of the Central Holy Land again...
He seemed to feel the excitement of Heaven's Will, as if calling out to him.
Every part of his body, every bit of flesh and blood, and even his soul, was cheering.
Countless years...
But the Cang Clan was still the orthodox ruler of heaven and earth!
He got closer and closer to the Central Holy Land, but his essence also became more and more depleted, and his aura grew weaker and weaker. Even his vision seemed a little blurry.
This journey was one of death, but he had been prepared long before he came.
In a trance, in his blurry vision, there seemed to appear countless pure white heavenly pillars, entwined with nebulae, Li Ke the beginning of the Dao, and also Li Ke the end of all things.
What is this?
As thoughts flickered, those 'heavenly pillars' seemed to collapse, falling downwards.
No!
Not collapsing!
They are closing in!
The endless nebulae were just his palm lines, the myriad phenomena of the starry sky, the Universe and all heavens seemed to be held in this hand.
Amidst the spinning of heaven and earth.
Everything turned into distorted lines, gradually pulling away until they completely disappeared.
Nothingness!
Nothing remained, not even the concept of existence was erased.
...
...
Whether it was a split second or an eternity, existence began to recover, and colors reappeared before his eyes.
He saw water flowing from upstream into the dry, cracked riverbed. Hot magma intersected with the water flow, generating large amounts of steam.
He had indeed returned to the Chifeng No. 47 Stellar System.
In the void not far away, a jade talisman glowed faintly, reflecting the figure of an elegant woman in a moon-white plain dress with a light Xuanqing bamboo-patterned veil draped over it.
Huang Qi's lips moved, and he painstakingly uttered two words.
"Sword Revered..."
Bie Xuening looked at the extremely miserable Zhang Yunlu, whose heart was barely beating, and nodded slightly.
"You did well."
Because the killing Sword Dao she cultivated was boundless and ferocious, her Disciples would always be affected by it, encountering accidents and continuous calamities.
If she couldn't get through this trial, then she didn't need to be her Disciple. It wouldn't be bad to go back and accept Martial Sister Ji's inheritance.
But looking at it now, she had done quite well.
"Master!"
Chi Jiuyu's eyes widened.
The Sword of Destiny of Li Ke in her hand was stuck in the ground.
She hadn't reacted at all to everything that had just happened.
Why was Master here?
And how did that guy she was about to chop up get over there?
"Take your Senior Sister and Junior Sister and leave here." Bie Xuening had no intention of explaining.
Junior Sister?
Before Chi Jiuyu could react, she felt a blur before her eyes.
When her vision cleared again, she found herself inside the starship's medical bay.
Besides the medical bay that was previously activated for her Senior Sister's recovery, another one was also active. A scorched, inhuman figure lay in the pale green medicinal liquid.
The half of his body that had been destroyed had recovered, although he still looked very miserable...
But it was much better than before.
"Dead fish! Why are you back?! What just happened?!" Li Ke asked in a hurry.
The 'virtual projection observation System' just now seemed to have been interfered with and suddenly shut down.
"I don't know!" Chi Jiuyu was also a little confused. "Master suddenly appeared just now, and then she threw me back."
Martial Uncle is here?
No, it should just be a projection of a trace of power.
Just then, the voice of the ship spirit, Xiao Xue, rang out.
"Warning! Affected by unknown forces, the starship has left its original star region!"
"Warning! The current star region of the starship is unknown!"
"Collecting spatial data!"
"Sending a dialogue request to the Star Region Overseer of this star region!"
"Attempting to reconnect to the Sword Sect Battle Network!"
Ah?
A series of prompts made Chi Jiuyu even more confused.
No!
Where did Master send me?!
How desolate is it that even the Sword Sect Battle Network needs to be reconnected?
Just then, the streamlined hatch of the medical bay suddenly opened.
Splash!
Li Ke stepped out from it. Her white special tight-fitting suit was still stained with some medicinal liquid, outlining her exquisite curves, and her long hair was wet and disheveled.
"Aren't you supposed to be recovering? Why are you out!"
"It's useless." Li Ke explained, covering her abdomen.
With the suppression gone, her Realm had recovered.
Moreover... in that instant just now, the remaining power in her wound had been worn away quite a bit.
'Was it Martial Uncle's doing...'
With thoughts turning in her mind, her gaze seemed to penetrate the starship's thick armor, seeing many unfamiliar star Systems around.
But without exception, the planets in all the star Systems were desolate and lifeless.
Is this a cluster of spirit-less stars?
However, it wasn't. Beneath the surface of those seemingly desolate planets, there was something else entirely.
In spacious and tidy laboratories, rows of silver-gray, airtight 'iron boxes', Li Ke coffins, were neatly arranged.
Their surfaces were embedded with intricate, faintly glowing blue lines, winding Li Ke blood vessels.
Inside those 'iron boxes', there was a pale pink, slightly turbid nutrient solution.
Floating within were clones wearing special uniforms, of different races, with soft tubes inserted into various parts of their bodies.
And there were billions of such culture tanks, densely packed, just beneath the surface of a single planet!
This was clearly an old demon's simulated soul cultivation base!
Li Ke withdrew her gaze, thinking to herself.
Simulated soul cultivation base...
She didn't find this particularly strange.
However, it seemed that the matter they encountered this time was indeed serious, so even Martial Uncle had to conserve power.
Otherwise, with Martial Uncle's ability, even just a projection of a trace of power, it wouldn't be difficult to send them back to the Central Continent.
