199: Dynasty Island, Emperor's Edict!
"What is this...?"
"A Void Kun Whale, it's a Void Kun Whale!!!"
"It's actually a Void Kun Whale? What does it do?"
The Void Kun Whale is rumored to be a mysterious creature that only lives in the void.
Each of them is incredibly massive, easily hundreds or thousands of miles long.
The 'Carefree Roaming' once said: In the northern darkness there is a fish, its name is Kun. The Kun is so big, it can't be stewed in one pot.
The Void Kun Whale is no different.
It is said that wherever a Void Kun Whale appears, a heaven and earth must fall, plummeting into the depths of the void until it reaches the inaccessible depths of the Guixu, where it is completely annihilated.
Completing a great cosmic cycle unknown to anyone.
"When the Void Kun Whale appears, the Tianjian Dynasty is doomed..." A powerful cultivator murmured, closing his eyes in pain.
"Why aren't you running? What are you standing there for!" A cultivator tried to pull him, but couldn't budge him an inch.
"Damn it, I'll run myself!" This cultivator stepped into the air, heading straight for the imperial city's teleportation array.
However, he was surprised to find that it was already overflowing with people, packed to the brim.
"The teleportation array has collapsed! Countless cultivators have encountered spatial turbulence and were instantly annihilated by the void!"
"We can't escape! My life is over!"
Such cries echoed throughout the entire area, and in an instant, a wave of despair began to rapidly spread among the surrounding crowd.
The cultivator who had been frantically fleeing, his face already filled with extreme panic, suddenly showed despair.
After despair, came madness!
"Damn it, I'm going to leave! No one can stop me!!!"
Spiritual energy surged around him, and he actually broke through the blockade of several guards, forcefully carving out a path.
He charged directly into the entrance of the teleportation array.
Spatial fluctuations emanated, and he vanished with them.
The cultivator rapidly traversed the spatial tunnel, a flicker of relief mixed with his panic.
"They said it was malfunctioning, but everything seems to be..."
His words suddenly stopped short.
Because.
At the furthest reaches of his sight, the incredibly sturdy spatial tunnel had already been torn apart by some great force.
The end connected to the endless void.
It turned out that the Void Kun Whale had completely peeled the Tianjian Dynasty away from White Tiger Heaven, sinking it into the depths of the Guixu.
A monstrous, malevolent gaze, a thousand zhang vast, suddenly met the cultivator's eyes.
"Ahhhhhh!!!"
After a scream, the cultivator's life force vanished.
From his chest, a scarlet chain pierced through him, rapidly flowing backward along the spatial tunnel.
Countless Demon Seed soldiers surged out from the cracks in the tunnel, blotting out the sky.
"Kill!!!"
"Those who refuse to submit, kill without mercy!!!"
A scarlet aura swept across the entire area, and the demonic cultivators, heedless of anything, began to indiscriminately slaughter, establishing their might with a bloody aura!
The long-distance teleportation array, which had originally offered cultivators a hope of escape, now became the closest place to hell.
The Gates of Hell!
...
On the arena.
The sudden turn of events caused Meng Yun's sword momentum to falter.
Zhou Huang seized the opportunity to retreat rapidly, a cunning glint flashing in his eyes.
Given the situation, there was no longer any need to continue the match.
Regardless of victory or defeat, no one present, apart from them, could escape.
No exceptions.
Saint Wuxu, as the only Grand Completion cultivator present, naturally reacted first:
"Quickly form the array! If I'm not mistaken, it seems the Saint... the Demon Seed's desire to destroy us is unyielding!"
"Form the array!" Southern Palace East roared, and the Emperor's Jade Seal suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.
Invisible brilliance surged, directly issuing imperial decrees to every government office across the vast territory of the dynasty:
Fight to the death against the Demon Seed!
The Tianjian Dynasty's sword array immediately covered the sky, with the Demon Subduing Sword acting as the array's core. Not to mention Tribulation Transcending Demon Venerables, even Grand Completion Demon Emperors would be able to contend!
What's more, they also had the most supreme expert in all of White Tiger Heaven here—Saint Wuxu, the Second Holy Master of the Three Saints Palace!
Meng Yun sheathed his sword and looked up at the void.
The Seven-Colored Tribulation Lightning Tiger growled on his shoulder. The Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace Cauldron expanded against the wind, and golden-red flames shot skyward.
"So, the Tianjian Dynasty will meet its demise in this way..."
Meng Yun murmured, returning the Demon Subduing Sword to the Heavenly Sword Grand Array.
While he could fight above his level with this sword, it was still very difficult for a Soul Transformation cultivator to slay a Tribulation Transcending one.
But the Heavenly Sword Grand Array, with the Demon Subduing Sword firmly positioned in the center, could!
The Demon Subduing Sword's body suddenly expanded tens of millions of times, until it reached the heavens.
Even from far outside the imperial city, one could see this colossal sword piercing the clouds.
Immense pressure spread out, suppressing the strength of all foreign invaders by one realm!
Grand Completion cultivators became Tribulation Transcending, and Tribulation Transcending cultivators became Integration!
Originally, White Tiger Heaven's own laws could achieve this, but at this moment, the Tianjian Dynasty had been peeled away from its main body by the Void Kun Whale, becoming an isolated island in the void!
Meng Yun flew down from the arena and met up with Chen Jintong and Nangong Jing.
Nangong Jing, as the princess of the dynasty, must have been incredibly anxious at this moment. The originally flustered her, upon seeing Meng Yun, was like a drowning person grasping a lifeline. She seized Meng Yun's warm hand:
"Yu Jingshen, what happened?"
She was desperate, not really expecting Meng Yun to tell her the true answer.
He was merely a Soul Transformation cultivator; what could he possibly know?
"The Tianjian Dynasty has been sent into the depths of the void by the Demon Seed forces, severing its connection with White Tiger Heaven.
We are now turtles in a jar." Meng Yun summarized concisely.
"Is this also information you obtained as a double agent?" Chen Jintong cast an inquiring look from the side.
You had such high-speed mechanical infiltration into the dynasty, why didn't you say so earlier?
"I guessed it." Meng Yun spread his hands, indicating his innocence.
Such crucial intelligence, how could a mere spy be privy to it?
"What do we do now?" Chen Jintong stood up, exiting his meditation state.
At this moment, both he and Meng Yun were Soul Transformation cultivators, yet they subtly deferred to Meng Yun.
No other reason than that the strength and methods Meng Yun displayed made even him sigh in admiration.
Meng Yun turned, looking not only at Chen Jintong and Nangong Jing.
But also at Lan Zhixi, Lan Zhiqing, and the countless people frantically forming arrays, battle intent emerging on his face: "Everyone, let's fight."
He pointed his fingers like a sword, casually instant-killing a demonic Soul Transformation cultivator who had landed among the crowd with a single strike. The Demon Subduing Swordplay's momentum was like a rainbow, illuminating a section of the sky.
Nangong Jing tightened her grip on the Chuixue Sword, feeling for the first time that the sword in her hand was no longer cold. She looked at the figure bathed in golden light and suddenly understood something.
This battle, perhaps, had only just begun.
"Kill!"
The still-unrepaired Chuixue Sword thrust out, likewise claiming the life of a Core Formation cultivator.
If not for the suppression of the Heavenly Sword Grand Array, she would have slain a Nascent Soul cultivator!
Nangong Jing was never weak.
It was just that compared to the most supreme prodigies in White Tiger Heaven, her strength was slightly inferior.
Southern Palace East's gaze pierced through endless space, landing on Nangong Jing's valiant figure as she fought the enemy, a relieved smile appearing on his face.
The Nangong family established their nation through martial arts; his proud children, naturally, could not be lacking!
With Meng Yun and Chen Jintong by her side, Nangong Jing could be said to be completely at ease.
Thus, he could also focus on facing the enemy.
"Pavilion Master Ximen, let's join forces again." The Emperor's Jade Seal trembled in his hand, and Southern Palace East's body instantly became towering.
"Imperial Decree—
No wearing armor in court!
No failing to kneel before the Emperor!
No indiscriminate killing of innocents!"
Tribulation Transcending Grand Cultivators could comprehend the laws of heaven and earth. As the emperor, Southern Palace East's mastered law was the Imperial Decree!
As his majestic words fell, all Demon Seed minions weaker than him knelt in a vast, dark mass.
Thud!
Thud!!
"Good opportunity, now's the time!"
Meng Yun looked at the kneeling Demon Seed cultivators beside him, shouting and rushing forward with a standard longsword.
