458: Chapter 458 The Four Symbols Seal the Heavens

[Liu Qingtian smiled, his smile carrying a hint of mockery.]

["What, just these tricks?"]

["Where is the Torch Dragon? Let it come out and meet its death."]

["To kill you," your lips curled up, "I am enough."]

[With that, you raised your hand and beckoned, and the xuantian seal flew back.]

[Liu Qingtian raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Then let's try."]

[You looked at him and suddenly smiled.]

[The next instant—]

[Your figure swayed; you did not charge forward, but instead drifted backward.]

[Not fleeing.]

[But retreating.]

[Stepping back tens of thousands of miles in a single stride, your posture was composed, as if taking a stroll in your own backyard.]

[You stood with your hands behind your back, letting the starlight rush past your side, leaving him only with a view of your back and a drifting sentence:]

["Let's change locations. Do you dare to come?"]

[Liu Qingtian frowned, then sneered:]

["Playing tricks."]

[Before his voice fell, his figure moved, and he gave chase.]

[He was chasing.]

[You were retreating.]

[One chasing, one retreating, in a flash they had traveled millions of miles.]

[Unsure of how much time had passed—]

[The starry sky ahead gradually became desolate, the stars sparse and their light dim.]

[You suddenly stopped.]

[Hovering in a void of the starry sky, you slowly turned around.]

[Liu Qingtian also stopped a thousand zhang away from you.]

[He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping across the desolate starry sky around him, then looked at you and suddenly smiled.]

["Leading me here, isn't it time to make a move?" His tone was playful, carrying undisguised mockery.]

["Torch Dragon?" he called out loudly, his voice echoing in the starry sky, "Come out."]

[The starry sky was silent.]

[No one answered.]

[Liu Qingtian raised an eyebrow, his Divine Sense sweeping the surroundings, then he let out a scoff:]

["There are no restrictions in this world."]

["Could it be that you still want to kill me?"]

["Ridiculous!"]

[He looked at you, his eyes full of playfulness.]

[The corners of your mouth slightly rose—as expected, he followed.]

["Liu Qingtian!"]

[Your voice was very light, yet clearly audible in this dead silent starry sky:]

["Today, this shall be your burial ground."]

[The words fell.]

[The Void Realm trembled.]

[Two rifts were suddenly torn open.]

[In the first rift—]

[Roar—!!!]

[A dragon's roar shook the sea of stars.]

[From the void rift, a massive figure slowly emerged.]

[First, the head.]

[A head as massive as a mountain, its eyes like two blood moons, burning with dark flames.]

[Then the body.]

[Stretching for thousands of zhang, scales like black jade, each one flowing with ancient and terrifying fluctuations of Law.]

[Finally, the tail.]

[With a gentle sweep, several meteorites behind it instantly turned to dust.]

[The Torch Dragon.]

[It coiled in the starry sky, its Aura like the sea, looking down at the tiny figure below.]

[At the same time—]

[From the other void rift, a figure stepped out.]

[Your original body.]

[Standing side-by-side with the Clone.]

[The two bodies looked at each other and then merged into one.]

[The Aura instantly surged.]

[Liu Qingtian stood with his hands behind his back, watching this scene with a calm expression.]

[Even with a hint of playfulness.]

["Not hiding anymore?" He chuckled, his tone full of mockery.]

[You frowned slightly.]

[Deep within your Divine Soul, a sensation came, a tearing pain—]

[The other Clone was gone.]

[That Clone was caught by Liu Tianxing.]

[It was no match for the opponent.]

[Then it self-destructed.]

[You took a deep breath, suppressing the flicker of emotion in your heart, and looked at the Torch Dragon coiled in the starry sky.]

["Do it!"]

[As soon as the words left your mouth, you raised your hand, and the xuantian seal crashed down.]

[The giant seal was like a mountain, pressing the Void Realm down.]

[At the same time—]

[The Torch Dragon opened its mouth and spat, and a pitch-black torrent of Law surged out.]

["Torch Dragon Breath!"]

[Wherever the torrent passed, the starlight was extinguished, and a Shattered Star Continent in its path was grazed by the aftershock, instantly turning to ash.]

[Only a grayish-white trail remained in the starry sky, lingering for a long time.]

[Liu Qingtian's gaze sharpened, his Aura surging:]

["All Laws Return to Source!"]

[In an instant, hundreds of Powers of Law surged out, condensing into a rotating wheel of light in front of him.]

[That light wheel was like a giant shield, protecting him and the starry sky behind him entirely.]

[Boom—!]

[The xuantian seal smashed onto the light wheel; the giant seal trembled, letting out a dull hum.]

[Immediately after, the Torch Dragon Breath collided—]

[Buzz—!]

[The pitch-black torrent clashed fiercely with the light wheel, bursting with dazzling light that illuminated the starry sky for tens of thousands of miles.]

[On that light wheel, only a series of fine cracks appeared, yet it ultimately did not break.]

[Liu Qingtian still stood with his hands behind his back, a sneer on his lips:]

["Is that all?"]

[However—]

[At his cuff, there was a scorched mark, emitting faint wisps of blue smoke.]

[The hand he held behind his back had fingertips that were trembling slightly.]

[His smile remained, but his gaze darkened a bit.]

[That breath from the Torch Dragon was not something he took easily.]

[Before his voice had even faded, you had already closed in.]

[The immortal slaying sword appeared in your hand, and you struck with a single slash—]

["Lonely Slaying Annihilation!"]

[A vast and lonely Sword Intent descended.]

[This strike had no earth-shattering momentum, yet it made one's heart skip a beat, as if it could slay everything.]

[Liu Qingtian's expression changed slightly; he retreated violently while clasping his hands together:]

["Heaven and Earth Reversal!"]

[In an instant, the space around him suddenly distorted, like a crumpled piece of paper.]

[Your sword light was actually forced to change direction, grazing past his side and striking a deserted Shattered Star Continent in the distance.]

[That Shattered Star Continent exploded violently, with debris flying everywhere.]

[At the same time,]

[The Torch Dragon's massive tail swept over.]

["Dragon Tail Shattering Star!"]

[Wherever the massive tail passed, the Void Realm trembled.]

[This one sweep was enough to shatter a star into pieces.]

[Liu Qingtian had no time to dodge and could only raise his hand to block it head-on.]

[Boom—!]

[He was sent flying, crashing through dozens of meteorites along the way; amidst the flying debris, he tumbled and rolled before barely managing to steady himself.]

[After steadying himself, he looked down at his arm.]

[The sleeve was completely shredded, revealing an arm with five bloodstains deep enough to see the bone, seeping with blood.]

[Those were wounds left by the Torch Dragon's scales.]

[He raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, staring at the blood on his hand, stunned for a moment.]

[How long had it been?]

[How long had it been since he had seen his own blood?]

[He looked up at you and the Torch Dragon; the playfulness finally vanished from his smile, replaced by a touch of seriousness:]

["Interesting."]

["It's been a long time since anyone has made me bleed."]

[You frowned slightly—]

[You hadn't expected him to be able to dodge even "Lonely Slaying Annihilation."]

[His move just now, "Heaven and Earth Reversal," had actually diverted your Sword Intent, crashing it into that Shattered Star Continent.]

[You took a deep breath and looked at the Torch Dragon.]

[The Torch Dragon nodded slightly.]

[It was time.]

[The power of the Dao Patterns within your body surged, the Spotless Sword Body hummed, and every inch of your flesh and blood trembled.]

[Then, four sword lights soared from within your body—]

[Four Immortal Slaying Swords!]

["Liu Qingtian." Your voice was calm, yet it echoed like a divine sound:]

["Let me show you what true methods are."]

["Immortal Slaying Sword Art, Fourth Form—"]

["Four Symbols Sealing Heaven!"]
