196: Escape from the Heavenly Palace

The Pilin Great World has a total of Twenty-Seven Heavenly Domains.

Within each Heavenly Domain, there are countless Cultivators, many of whom possess extraordinary talent.

Those who manage to be listed among the top Cultivators on the Epoch Battlefield ranking—those Young Saints—need no further introduction.

They are the Evil Cultivators among Evil Cultivators, the Prodigies among Prodigies.

Let alone a Silent Spirit Realm Cultivator whose cultivation was temporarily boosted, they have even killed true Silent Spirit Cultivators!

"All Living Beings Slash!"

Yao Yian controlled the massive amount of True Qi within his body, pushing his mastery over the all sentient beings blades to its peak.

Rumbles~~~

The three all sentient beings bladess suddenly attacked, fiercely colliding with the Evil Dragon, unleashing astonishing Aura.

Countless energy ripples spread out, destroying buildings, shattering rocks, and felling trees everywhere they reached.

At the same time, ten other Half-Step Silent Spirit Realm Evil Spirits charged over.

The opposing Young Saint's brows flashed with ruthlessness as he activated a Secret Technique.

"Small, explode, him, self."

Li Weiqing hastily warned him, and then the surrounding air suddenly solidified.

Immediately afterward, those Evil Spirits were pulled by an invisible force, their speed suddenly accelerating, giving Yao Yian no time to intercept them.

With a mighty roar, they detonated themselves not far in front of him!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After a series of bloody explosions, Yao Yian released his shield, and the all sentient beings blades transformed back from its shield form into its blade form.

However, the enemy's attack was not over. With a hum, a faint ripple came from the space behind him.

"Face, back."

"There is an enemy behind you."

"Watch your back, Fellow Daoist."

This time, not only did Li Weiqing warn him, but the twin star mirror suddenly spoke up too, along with another familiar voice.

With no time to think, Yao Yian immediately felt a chill on his back, his hairs stood on end, and danger descended!

He spun his head violently and saw a long sword fiercely stabbing toward him!

The long sword was entirely dark green, and a strange light flowed across its body.

Yao Yian knew what that was—it was the circulation of Sword Intent.

"Spatial Sword Intent! Slanted Moon Horizontal Wave Slash!"

Facing this strike, he quickly counterattacked, summoning the all sentient beings blades with his fingertip to fiercely attack the enemy!

Rip~~

One all sentient beings blades collided with the enemy, then instantly spun up, transforming into a light wheel and attacking.

Pfft!

The light wheel sliced through, and hot, bright red blood sprayed out from the opponent's chest!

The Young Saint covered his injured chest and immediately retreated back into space.

The battle continued. The twelve Young Saints used every method they had, continuously surrounding Yao Yian and launching fierce attacks.

But what is Silent Spirit cultivation? It is an existence that surpasses the Spirit Manifestation Realm.

The elevation of cultivation is an elevation of the life level.

Below Silent Spirit, all are pigs and dogs. This level of Rank disparity is difficult for even a Young Saint to overcome.

Furthermore, Yao Yian held a Divine Artifact, and Yao Yao was constantly causing trouble among the opposition.

Yao Yian controlled the ten all sentient beings bladess, constantly charging and killing, using the boost in his cultivation to forcefully break through the encirclement.

"Booming and rumbling."

If even dignified Young Saints struggled like this, how could those ordinary Evil Cultivators resist?

For a time, wherever Yao Yian went, countless Evil Cultivators fell.

The sounds of blades and swords clashing rang out continuously. He forcefully carved out a bloody path, forcing the nearest attackers back several zhang, and continued his charge.

"Everyone attack quickly! We absolutely cannot let them escape today!"

Everyone snapped back to attention, immediately regrouped, and charged toward Yao Yian again.

This battle was extremely difficult. After being surrounded again, he fell into a disadvantageous position.

Although Yao Yian was temporarily boosted to the Silent Spirit Realm, he was only at the Early Stage Realm after all. Furthermore, he was inherently weak and had to protect Li Weiqing, so he was naturally suppressed by these Young Saints until he could barely breathe.

Fortunately, he had the constant reminders from Li Weiqing and the twin star mirror, as well as the advantage of holding a Divine Weapon. Otherwise, facing the siege of so many top-tier Half-Step Silent Spirits, even if his cultivation reached the true Silent Spirit Realm, he would still be defeated.

"Die!"

The Dragon-shaped Evil Spirit leaped up, wielding a massive halberd and smashing it down heavily. Yao Yian activated all the all sentient beings bladess to shield himself.

With a bang, the powerful force rebounded and blocked the strike, knocking down the Dragon-shaped Evil Spirit, but Yao Yian also suffered considerable internal injuries.

Suddenly, a voice transmission entered his ear.

"In twenty breaths' time, I will help you escape the encirclement!"

Hearing this voice, Yao Yian couldn't help but be stunned—it was Yao Yao sending him a voice transmission.

Although he didn't know what Yao Yao was planning, this was certainly a chance to escape danger.

Yao Yian quickly warned Li Weiqing and the twin star mirror, and then waited for the time to come.

In the blink of an eye, the twelve Young Saints had trapped Yao Yian in the center.

The twelve of them accumulated power, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Yao Yian, while also preventing him from using trickery to break out.

Seeing that twenty breaths were about to pass, Yao Yian grew increasingly anxious.

Finally, Yao Yao transmitted her voice again: "Alright, now I'll help you break out..."

Just as Yao Yian was wondering what method the opponent would use, he saw Yao Yao suddenly bite off her own tongue.

She spat out a mouthful of vital blood, then quickly activated a magic chant, and immediately a terrifying Daoist Magic technique formed in front of her.

The other eleven Young Saints were inexplicably horrified by this sight, because the might of this move was so powerful that they all had to retreat three she to avoid its edge.

"As expected of someone ranked sixty-seventh on the top Cultivators ranking, the power of this move cannot be underestimated."

"Hmm, Senior Brother Yao Yao is so strong."

Yao Yian was also startled watching this move.

Even with his current cultivation, he instinctively felt a life-threatening fear before this move.

Yao Yao spat out the bright red vital blood, and her cheeks turned pale afterward.

She shouted softly: "Divine Spirit Smoke! Six Ages Collapse!"

Go!

The technique was activated, and a colored divine light whistled forth, like thunder from the Nine Heavens, carrying a destructive Aura.

The colored divine light was aimed directly at Yao Yian. This terrifying power even shook the Void Realm, making Yao Yian feel a chill in his heart.

He clearly felt the power of this strike and wanted to dodge, but he found that he couldn't move at all at this moment, nor could he defend himself.

His body seemed to be restrained by something, which made him greatly alarmed... In the distance, a man in white sneered, lowering the arm that had just finished casting the technique.

At this moment, his face was filled with jealousy and resentment, not only seeing Li Weiqing in the other man's arms but also witnessing the all sentient beings bladess completely obeying the other man's command.

All these signs pointed to only one thing.

This man had won over Senior Sister Li Weiqing, whom he longed for.

How could he swallow this indignity? He immediately decided to trip up the opponent.

If the opponent was severely injured by this move, he could seize the opportunity to quickly enter and rescue Senior Sister Li Weiqing—perhaps killing two birds with one stone!

...Although Yao Yao had said she would help them break out, Yao Yian was not an idiot. How could he casually believe someone else's words?

If this turned out to be a trap, wouldn't he have to start his life over?

"ancestor, save me again."

Facing a life-or-death crisis, the twin star mirror naturally wouldn't stand idly by. It transmitted another surge of power, allowing Yao Yian's cultivation to recover significantly.

With the blessing of this brand-new power, Yao Yian finally broke free from the restraining force.

"This, use, one."

Li Weiqing hastily took out a jade pendant Magical Artifact. The moment this Magical Artifact was taken out, it burst forth with a dazzling golden light.

Not only that, but something on Yao Yian's body also seemed to be triggered, emitting specks of golden light that flowed into the jade pendant.

"Buzz," a profound golden shield rose up.

The moment this shield rose, the Evil Path True Qi in the air actually began to boil, gathering toward them as if encountering a natural enemy.

Just as the attack was about to hit, a sudden change occurred.

With a "bang."

The instant Yao Yao's attack collided with Yao Yian's shield, it was actually deflected.

Only Yao Yian, who was right there, knew that this wasn't a defensive deflection at all, but that the attack had suddenly changed direction just before reaching him.

The new direction was precisely the Heaven Shaking Divine Palace collapsing above their heads.

Boom!

The strike hit, the colored divine light pierced the sky, a deafening roar spread out, and the powerful attack directly tore open the Void Realm.

"Crack, crack, crack, crack."

The sky canopy shattered, countless spatial cracks opened up above their heads, and they began spreading downward at an extremely rapid pace.

"Ah?!"

Yao Yian's eyes widened.

Only then did he realize the opponent's plan: to accelerate the destruction of the Heaven Shaking Divine Palace to buy them a chance to escape!

The Heaven Shaking Divine Palace rapidly collapsed, and the speed was simply astonishing.

In less than twenty breaths, about three-fifths of the Heaven Shaking Divine Palace had already vanished.

"Hmm, Junior Sister, I'm injured, I'm retreating first."

"I also bid farewell."

Seeing this scene, all the Young Saints chose to flee without hesitation.

What a joke! If they didn't hurry up and escape, they would be buried here.

Thus, they stopped paying attention to Yao Yian, scattered, and searched for the nearest exit to flee the area.

"East, walk, side."

"My Young Miss commands you to go west!"

"There's an exit in the southeast direction, Fellow Daoist."

Three voices shouted at him simultaneously, but Yao Yian didn't hesitate at all. After putting away the all sentient beings blades, he decisively chose to go west.

There was no other reason; the twin star mirror had, after all, devoured the Legacy Stele plus the Pseudo Artifact Spirit, so the answer it provided was undoubtedly the optimal route.

Sure enough, after walking for less than three breaths, Yao Yian saw a teleportation exit.

They were finally going to escape the Heaven Shaking Divine Palace!

Ten breaths after they left, the Heaven Shaking Divine Palace completely collapsed. Although most Cultivators evacuated before the collapse, not everyone did.

Those Cultivators who hadn't evacuated now regretted it, wishing they hadn't been greedy for the siege rewards.
