At that time.

Lu Ziyin had just stepped into the Transformation Spirit realm.

He and Xue Yun entered almost simultaneously.

Xue Yun had just broken through to Transformation Spirit.

Not long after, Lu Ziyin followed suit.

Their master said Mount Shushan had produced two unparalleled geniuses.

Unprecedented and unmatched!!

Lu Ziyin was extremely excited.

This was the first time his master said he was comparable to Xue Yun.

But not long after, Xue Yun returned from his travels.

Xue Yun didn't come back alone—he brought with him the heads of two great demons.

Xue Yun had gone to Burial Armament City in Cangzhou and slain two Fusion Transcension great demons.

His feat shook the world!!

At that moment, Lu Ziyin understood.

There were still gaps between geniuses.

"........."

Years later, circumstances had changed.

Xue Yun was dead.

Lu Ziyin had now replaced Xue Yun as the peak master of Silver Sword Peak.

Facing the pressure from two Fusion Transcension mighty ones.

Lu Ziyin suddenly smiled and murmured to himself.

"I really am inferior to you!"

His whole life spent chasing after the other's footsteps, yet never catching up.

Now at the peak of Transformation Spirit realm, Lu Ziyin found it difficult to even move under the pressure of two Fusion Transcension experts.

Back then, when Xue Yun had just entered Transformation Spirit.

He took his sword from Zhongzhou for the first time into Cangzhou's territory.

In another land, he killed two Fusion Transcension great demons.

It sounded like a legend just saying it.

Lu Ziyin centered himself and activated the Mount Shushan Sword Array.

Their divine abilities collided and crushed against each other.

Ripples of Dao marks appeared around them, leaving porcelain-like cracks in space wherever they passed.

"Boom boom boom—!!"

A series of shattering sounds rang out.

"Ants dare look upon heaven?"

Lu Ziyin spread his arms, flying swords spinning rapidly before him.

"Come!"

The Mount Shushan Sword Array was already terrifyingly powerful.

Lu Ziyin's relentless attacks left no room for retreat.

The current situation didn't allow him any way out either.

No matter what, Mount Shushan's reinforcements wouldn't arrive anytime soon.

The sword light reversed.

Yaoshan's face paled as he spat out blood.

The phantom of his Dharma Idol behind him trembled violently.

"Cough cough cough...."

"What a Lu Ziyin!!"

These words contained absolute sincerity.

If their opponent had been at Fusion Transcension, they would have long died under his sword.

The Mount Shushan Sword Array crushed the three thousand sword qi whirlpools and the chains wrapped with Bone-Eroding Yin Lightning.

The other Fusion Transcension mighty one suddenly had white flames erupt from his hair and beard—a sign of burning his lifeblood essence.

Yaoshan gave him a surprised glance.

The white flames gathered instantly in midair, forming the Great Sun Immolation Array!!!

Seeing this, Yaoshan was horrified.

He quickly retreated, withdrawing from his Dao Domain.

Lu Ziyin also sensed something wrong.

But while Yaoshan could leave, he couldn't.

Lu Ziyin gritted his teeth and held on.

"Lu Ziyin, can you withstand this move of mine? If you survive this, I'll bow to you as my master!!!"

However......

In an instant, the Dao Domain was completely swallowed by white light, vanishing without trace.

The battlefield now showed only a vast expanse of white, as if the entire world had been enveloped by this radiance.

This was no longer a Dao Domain, but a sea of flames, a space engulfed by endless high temperatures.

Everything melted in this white light—powerful treasures and flesh alike turned to ashes in moments.

Nothing remained in the Dao Domain, only that blank whiteness.

Lu Ziyin's physical body was consumed by the array.

The Fusion Transcension mighty one sat arrogantly atop the clouds, laughing wildly.

"Lu Ziyin, now do you understand there are heavens beyond heavens and men beyond men!?"

Watching this, Yaoshan couldn't help but feel regret.

Trapped within the Dao Domain, Lu Ziyin could no longer absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

While the Fusion Transcension mighty one could endlessly draw power from the Dao Domain's world.

No matter what, Lu Ziyin would be exhausted to death here today.

Yaoshan just hadn't expected Cangcheng to be so impatient, willing to burn his lifeblood essence to kill Lu Ziyin.

He must have been shocked by Lu Ziyin.

Being wounded by a Transformation Spirit cultivator naturally filled him with rage.

Once the Great Sun Immolation Array was activated, Lu Ziyin's soul and spirit were already extinguished.

With no reliance left.

Cangcheng spat blood, his wild hair and beard turning whiter.

"Cough cough cough... eliminate the rest, then report back to the sect leader—the Silver Sword Peak lineage of Mount Shushan has been completely exterminated!"

"......"

Senior Brother Lu had lost, and Lin Wanqing had burned out too.

No one from Silver Sword Peak could oppose Fusion Transcension mighty ones.

At this moment, beneath the thatched cottage on Silver Sword Peak, Li Xuanxiao rested his forehead on his hand.

To save or not to save?

This question...

Li Xuanxiao had already answered from the beginning.

All Tribulation Transcension experts were forbidden from leaving the sect without authorization.

They didn't know where the enemy was, nor whether this was an enemy trap.

Earlier, three Fusion Transcension Mount Shushan disciples sent out had disappeared without trace like clay oxen entering the sea.

This made Li Xuanxiao even more alarmed.

The enemy could already silently kill three Fusion Transcension Mount Shushan disciples within Zhongzhou.

Mount Shushan was too conspicuous—whoever they sent out would be easily targeted.

"............"

Just then, the expressions of both Fusion Transcension mighty ones changed.

A voice arose in their heart lakes.

"At four I held a sword, at seven I slew demons, at thirteen I reached Foundation Establishment, at fifteen I killed my first Golden Core, at seventeen I entered Mount Shushan, unmatched among my peers, at twenty-one I formed my core and slew an old Nascent Soul demon, undefeated among equals...."

In the void, a mysterious figure seemed to flicker in and out of existence. This shadowy form was elusive, its true appearance impossible to discern.

Yet in an instant, this figure erupted with dazzling radiance.

Transforming into a white rainbow that spanned the sky, instantly tearing apart the void's darkness.

"Today let me add another line—a battle with you all!"

"Not good!"

Yaoshan was horrified.

He could already sense that terrifying sword intent.

"Cangcheng, flee......."

"Me? Flee!?"

Cangcheng roared angrily.

"Hum—!!!"

Cangcheng's water-cloud robe was shredded, blood beading from his eyes.

His personal Dao Domain was pierced through by a single sword strike.

Lu Ziyin had already burned his last shred of soul energy.

At the final moment, comprehending his own sword path.

Cangcheng spat blood—though a Fusion Transcension mighty one's physical body was indestructible, his soul was anchored to his Dao Domain.

If the Dao Domain didn't perish, the soul wouldn't die.

No soul-destroying treasure could affect this.

This sword first destroyed Cangcheng's body, then detonated his Dao Domain.

"This sword—seven parts to slay you, three parts remain..."

Yaoshan's figure retreated three thousand zhang, looking down at the sword wound on his chest that stopped deepening.

Lu Ziyin's voice sounded by his ear with a light sigh.

"A pity...."

Yaoshan was now drenched in sweat as if fished from water, breathing rapidly as if each gasp was a struggle for life.

Since entering Fusion Transcension, the last time he'd felt such fear was during the siege against Di Nü Feng of Asura Hall.

Facing the Tribulation Transcension Di Nü Feng.

Lu Ziyin....

Cangcheng was dead!

Yaoshan looked up and saw Di Nü Feng.

Hallucinating?

Just thinking of Di Nü Feng, how could she appear before him now?

Yaoshan absurdly rubbed his eyes.

It was Di Nü Feng.

Di Nü Feng was holding a rusted iron sword.

"I'll go save them!" said the Sword Spirit.
