459: Chapter 459 God-Slaying Crossbow Arrow

[In an instant—]

[The four immortal slaying swords shot out toward the four cardinal directions.]

[Traveling tens of thousands of miles in a flash, they settled—]

[Boom—!]

[Four massive phantoms emerged from within the four immortal slaying swords.]

[To the east, an Azure Dragon coiled, its body ten thousand zhang long.]

[To the south, a Vermilion Bird soared through the sky, its feathers like fire.]

[To the west, a White Tiger roared, its voice shaking the sea of stars.]

[To the north, a Black Tortoise suppressed the earth, as immovable as a mountain peak.]

[The Four Symbols roared in unison—]

[Roar—!!!]

[The dragon's cry, phoenix's song, tiger's roar, and tortoise's howl merged into one, shattering meteorites within tens of thousands of miles and making the starry sky tremble.]

[Immediately after.]

[An invisible barrier of Sword Intent was instantly generated between the Four Symbols.]

[Seal.]

[The space in all four directions was completely sealed off.]

[Liu Qingtian's expression changed abruptly.]

[He looked up—]

[Within this space, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was draining away frantically.]

[Being sucked dry.]

[Being squeezed out.]

[Colors were also fading.]

[Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple—bit by bit, they turned into a grayish-white.]

[Finally, only an absolute deathly silence remained.]

[Like a cage.]

[In this cage, only the Four Symbols Sword Intent circulated endlessly—it was the power of the descent of the Sword Dao Origin.]

[Sharp.]

[Vast.]

[Indestructible.]

[The Great Dao of the Sword, tracing back to the Origin.]

[It slashed not only the Physical Body and Primordial Spirit, but also every wisp of life Origin that Liu Qingtian left in the world.]

[For instance, that single drop of essence blood he had hidden somewhere, which could allow him Rebirth.]

[Slashed away completely.]

[Exterminated.]

[Liu Qingtian's pupils suddenly constricted, and his scalp tingled as if ten thousand wisps of Sword Intent were pressed against his brow.]

[His lips trembled slightly, and an expression finally surfaced in his eyes that hadn't appeared for thousands of years—]

[Fear.]

[He was finally panicking.]

["As expected of... the immortal slaying sword..."]

[Though his voice trembled, madness surged in the depths of his eyes.]

["Want to kill me?"]

["Then let's die together!"]

[His hands frantically formed seals, his entire aura exploded, and the Law Power seemed to boil—]

["All Laws Return to One!"]

[Burning Origin, burning life, burning everything.]

[This was his trump card Divine Ability, a forbidden technique that only a Body Integration Stage Cultivator would dare to perform.]

[Because it was the strongest means of taking the enemy down with him.]

[Your gaze narrowed.]

[With a wave of your hand, the xuantian treasure mirror emerged, hovering in front of you.]

["Xuantian!"]

["Understood!"]

[The treasure mirror flipped open, golden light flourished, and majestic time power covered tens of thousands of miles of the starry sky.]

[Time Stasis!]

[In an instant—]

[Liu Qingtian's movements froze.]

[His hands remained in the seal-forming posture, and the boiling Law Power around him was like frozen flames.]

[Motionless.]

[Only his eyes could still move.]

[Those eyes were filled with utter disbelief.]

["You—"] [He couldn't open his mouth, but his voice was trembling.]

["Torch Dragon!"] [You barked out.]

[The Torch Dragon was already poised and ready.]

[It opened its massive maw, and pitch-black light condensed within, compressing, frantically compressing—]

["Torch Dragon World Extinction!"]

[This single strike was enough to swallow everything.]

[However—]

[At this very instant.]

[From the depths of the starry sky.]

[Three silver arrow auroras shot forth.]

[Fast.]

[So fast they transcended time and space.]

[Transcended thought.]

[The first silver arrow slammed into the Four Symbols Sealing Heaven barrier.]

[Crack—!]

[The Four Symbols phantoms shook violently and then shattered with a bang.]

[The Sword Intent barrier, like glass falling to the ground, shattered into a sky full of light specks.]

[The silver arrow's momentum remained unchecked as it struck the xuantian treasure mirror.]

[Clang—!]

[The xuantian treasure mirror was sent flying—that arrow carried the complete Law Power of time and space, enough to break through time stasis.]

[The xuantian treasure mirror tumbled and fell into the depths of the starry sky.]

[The time stasis was instantly lifted.]

[Xuantian's terrified voice rang out in your mind:]

["Master, I can't block it... I'm going to find Big Bro Han first!"]

[Before the words finished, the treasure mirror turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the depths of the sea of stars.]

[Liu Qingtian gasped for breath, his entire body soaked in cold sweat.]

[That wasn't all; the second silver arrow aurora headed straight for the Torch Dragon.]

[The Torch Dragon's pupils constricted as it tried to dodge—but it was too late.]

[Puchi—!]

[The silver arrow pierced through its body.]

[Pitch-black blood sprayed across the starry sky.]

[The Torch Dragon let out a shrill dragon cry, its body trembling violently. Then, with a sudden lash of its tail, it tore open the Void Realm and dove inside.]

["Little friend, flee quickly!"]

[At the same time, its panicked voice rang in your mind.]

[It was a tone you had never heard from it before.]

[Fear.]

[True fear.]

[You had no time to think.]

[Because the third silver arrow had already reached you.]

[However—]

[At the very moment the silver arrow was about to pierce your chest, a faint light suddenly lit up on your chest.]

[It was a jade pendant.]

[The Coiled Dragon Jade Pendant.]

[The one the Academy Head had personally gifted to you.]

[Above the jade pendant, an Azure Dragon phantom instantly emerged, coiling into a shield to block the silver arrow.]

[Boom—!]

[The silver arrow collided with the dragon phantom, bursting with blinding light.]

[The jade pendant vibrated, and the dragon phantom shattered.]

[But that arrow was forcibly stopped.]

[You looked down.]

[On the surface of the jade pendant, a fine crack appeared first, eventually turning into dust and dissipating.]

[But after all, it had blocked this strike.]

[You didn't hesitate for a moment.]

[You raised your hand and swiped toward the Void Realm beside you—]

[Escaping into the Void Realm was the only chance.]

[Teleportation wouldn't work; the silver arrows could traverse time and space. No matter where you ran, you couldn't escape.]

[Only by entering the Void Realm was there a glimmer of hope.]

[However—]

[That swipe of your finger felt like it was hitting an indestructible barrier.]

[Space didn't budge at all.]

[Your pupils constricted slightly.]

[You fully circulated your Void Power.]

[Not enough.]

[Still not enough.]

[The spatial barrier of this world had become incredibly tough.]

[With your current strength... you actually couldn't break through it.]

[Had a Mahayana Cultivator made a move?]

[The next second,]

[Another silver arrow light lit up, appearing out of thin air as if instantaneously.]

[Puchi—!]

[A cold sensation came from your chest.]

[You looked down and saw a section of a silver arrow protruding from your body.]

[This time, there was no jade pendant to block it.]

[The silver arrow had pierced through your chest.]

[Blood overflowed from the corner of your mouth as you looked down at the section of silver arrow sticking out of your chest.]

[The silver arrow emitted a ghostly cold light, and complex patterns flowed on the shaft, each pattern containing power enough to annihilate a Divine Soul.]

[It was the God-Slaying Crossbow.]

[Liu Xuerong had made her move.]

[She had attacked from the Heavenly Palace, across the endless starry sky. These four silver arrows were shot from her 'God-Slaying Crossbow.']

[Rumor had it that this God-Slaying Crossbow not only contained the complete power of time and space but also the power of destruction. It was one of her strongest methods.]

[The distance from the Heavenly Palace to this place was immeasurable.]

[But as long as the target was locked, it could strike with a single shot.]

[As for how it was locked—]

[Your peripheral vision swept over Liu Qingtian's waist.]

[That identity jade token was glowing slightly.]

[It contained a wisp of Liu Xuerong's Divine Thought.]

[She had used this wisp of Divine Thought to lock onto your position.]

[You gritted your teeth, desperately circulating your power.]

[But you discovered—the arrow in your chest carried a strange sealing power.]

[Like countless chains, it firmly locked down your Primordial Spirit.]

[Locked down your Physical Body.]

[Locked down every wisp of spiritual energy and every Law in your body.]

[Unable to be mobilized.]

[Unable to struggle.]

[Even... unable to self-destruct.]
