CHAPTER 724: CHAPTER 272: HEAVEN AND EARTH CREATION, DISCIPLES LOST OUTSIDE

He forgot the life-and-death crisis he might encounter by making this cut, and he forgot the purpose of this journey.

No victory, no defeat.

He adjusted his breath to the peak, raised the blade, infused his power into the void, and with bulging veins on his arm, he slashed down with an incredibly heavy posture.

In an instant.

The sound of the blade penetrated the chaos, resembling a thunderous roar deep within the clouds, startling the warriors slumbering within the chaos!

Awakened from their sleep, they saw a pure white light slicing through the dark chaos.

"Madman!"

The first thought birthed in their minds was that this person was mad!

Only a Heavenly King Master could open the heavens and earth, evolve life and destruction of a realm!

Boom!

Chaos began to "shake," and everyone was shocked to find that under the blade light, a thin crack indeed emerged, breaking the dead silence of chaos and evolving into clear and turbid Yin and Yang...

Everyone widened their eyes, mouths agape in disbelief, as they watched this scene, their hearts overwhelmed like surging tides.

Who is the master of this blade?!

Heavenly Saint Lake, Tian Qiu!

Almost instantly, this name was imprinted in their minds.

Today here, perhaps only this person has such courage to dare slash at chaos.

He’s truly unafraid of the backlash and engulfment that chaos riots might incur!

Even having a life-saving jade token might not protect this man’s life at that time!

Within the Inner World, Hel furrowed her brows.

This attempt, as expected, she was not wrong.

This blade...

Is truly beyond comprehension.

Someday, could this boy truly slash away infinite tribulations?

...

Ji Jingqiu stared intently at the spot where the blade light meandered.

Upon witnessing the brief tearing of chaos by the blade light, with creation and vitality spread throughout, evolving all phenomena—

Even though all this was soon engulfed again by the surrounding chaos, Ji Jingqiu still laughed heartily.

An unprecedented sense of satisfaction rippled in his heart, enough to fill everything.

He didn’t even focus on the many insights this blade brought him, only feeling the thrill more satisfying than defeating all the Heavenly Prides here!

The true meaning of this blade is encompassed in the word "One".

Seeking a sliver of hope.

Slaying infinite tribulations.

It’s Ji Jingqiu’s [sliver of hope]!

Given time, he was determined to slash the fate of time, seeking transcendence, and furthermore demanding the place his body stands upon be all Pure Land!

"Today, let it end here!"

The backlash from the chaos returned, crowding over him, following the meandering blade light, trying to engulf him here.

Ji Jingqiu no longer lingered, abandoned his physical body, his spirit radiated brightly, under the protection of the Bodhi Tree, the Holy Embryo enveloped the Divine Embryo, stirring the water of the Nether Sea!

Under everyone’s stunned gaze, Ji Jingqiu transformed his heart into a Holy Embryo, evaded into the water of the Nether Sea, and departed without a trace.

Just like that, he’s gone?

Heart Proving Fetal Breath... is this man truly a Divine Prohibition?!

For a moment.

They actually forgot the wonders of Fetal Breathing, dazed for a long time, until the life-saving jade tokens on their bodies automatically activated, transporting them out of this place.

A group of young martial artists just emerged from the Cosmic Light Fragments, still in a daze, when the "turmoil" outside terrified them, making their scalp tingle.

Outside, fighting had already begun!

In the center, a five-colored divine light towering heaven and earth, transformed into a white light, erased everything.

An array of wonders surrounded it, countless divine weapons capable of suppressing realms hovered in the void, among them was an ancient cauldron formed by the Favor crimson cloud, a flag that wreaked havoc with chaotic earth, fire, wind, and water, and a Yin Yang Fish formed by black and white qi connecting head to tail...

Dozens of figures encircled the Heavenly Venerable of the Five Virtues Palace in the center, heads surrounded by Ancestral Artifact projections, some even summoned a trace of true meaning!

Boom!

A thunderous explosion echoed in the void, with flowers blooming and withering, in an instant countless worlds birthed and perished, splendid stellar rivers appeared then vanished, the void penetrated under the joint force of all, revealing the depths "beneath".

A cold snort seemed to echo from the heart, deafening.

"Overestimating your abilities!"

In a flash, the five-colored divine light of red, blue, yellow, white, and black lingered, evolving the foundation of the heavens, the essence of ten thousand realms, sweeping away all divine weapons, sweeping across all Heavenly Kings!

Groans of agony from surrounding forces echoed in succession.

It was also at this moment that the Cosmic Light Fragments completely collapsed.

All remaining martial artists inside were automatically transported out.

Hundreds of vast, boundless spirit divine thought storms instantly swept across the scene.

All the young people gritted their teeth to endure, some already collapsed to the ground, unable to withstand such pressure.

"Where is Tian Qiu? Surrender now, follow me back to the palace, forsake darkness for light, and explain yourself!"

"Where are they?!"

"Where is Tian Qiu!"

Numerous awe-inspiring spirit communications echoed in succession, causing everyone’s body to tremble, unable to muster any resistance.

"Qing Feng..."

"Seventeen..."

"Quan’er, where is Tian Qiu?"

For a moment, a multitude of powerful individuals could not find a martial artist worthy of the name "Divine Prohibition" in the scene, even the "Future Divine Prohibition", so they inquired their disciples.

After getting the answers.

The forces instantly fell into silence.

Originally confrontational atmosphere with weapons suddenly froze.

"How absurd! No wonder Heavenly Saint Lake didn’t send anyone, turns out they have already proven Fetal Breathing, leaving behind a guiding Dao Mark in the Nether Sea!"

"Humph! Brilliant tactics, worthy of Heavenly Saint Lake!"

"Heavenly Saint Lake... Are they aiming to have three True Saints? Haha, let’s hope they pass the upcoming tribulation first."

Guarding for so long, they ended up with emptiness, couldn’t help but voice their anger.

Among them, some, upon hearing the description of their disciples regarding Tian Qiu’s decisive act of slashing chaos...

"Well done, lad, with just the Heart Image, you dare aim the blade at chaos? Has he already found the Dao-slaying blade?"

"Divine Prohibition, this boy surely is Divine Prohibition!"

"Heavenly Saint Lake has silently cultivated a Divine Prohibition, under whose hand did this emerge? Could it be the rumors are false, and there is no internal conflict within Heavenly Saint Lake?"

"Needs thorough investigation..."

In the following days.

Numerous inquiries, overt or covert, rushed to connect with the various Dao Lineages of Heavenly Saint Lake.

The reactions of Heavenly Saint Lake’s various Dao Lineages upon receiving the news were unprecedentedly uniform.

First astonishment, then shock, then calm and composed, finally laughter without words.

Then.

All Dao Lineages of Heavenly Saint Lake almost emptied out.

On this day.

At Red Cloud Mountain Sea View, peaks were towering, resembling standing green bamboo.

Tianqingzi just returned from the Great Universe and bumped into his teacher head-on.

"Teacher, where are you going?" Tianqingzi asked in confusion.

"Hmm, you just returned from the Great Universe, unaware. Two days ago, near Red Water Realm, a Cosmic Light Fragment appeared, inside was a disciple of our Heavenly Saint Lake, who swept the entire scene, suppressing all sides, seemingly stepping into the Divine Prohibition threshold."

The middle-aged Daoist’s eyes gleamed with brilliance.

"Divine Prohibition?!" Tianqingzi was flabbergasted, cried out in surprise, "Which Dao Lineage secretly cultivated this disciple? Are they aiming to seize the inheritance of the Supreme Method all at once? Or... are the two True Saint Ancestors..."

Just as he was lost in thought.

The middle-aged Daoist gave him a meaningful glance and said, "The two Ancestor Masters were also astonished, questioned all sides, and found out this was a disciple lost outside."

Tianqingzi was taken aback, a returned lost disciple?

Does Heavenly Saint Lake have a Dao Lineage opened outside?

The middle-aged Daoist calmly stated, "The Ancestor Master’s intention is whoever finds him first, he will belong to that lineage."

Tianqingzi suddenly understood.

What nonsense about a lost disciple outside...

This is someone claiming the identity of Heavenly Saint Lake, ended up being discovered and because of being too brilliant?!

The Ancestor Masters intend to fix it, even if it’s fake, make it real!

Previously whether he was a disciple of Heavenly Saint Lake is not important, since he claimed to be a disciple of Heavenly Saint Lake, then he is!
