Chapter 1434 - 1425: The Martial Path Without Regret

Chapter 1434: Chapter 1425: The Martial Path Without Regret

"Battle formation!"

The faces of the four Tianhe Clan elders grew solemn as they gazed at the descending blood-red spear Qi. They exchanged glances and took their positions, summoning a mysterious power.

Soon after, above each of the four Tianhe elders’ heads appeared a sword Qi, entwined with boundless blood light, terribly formidable.

The starry sky boiled, large areas collapsing.

From afar, it seemed as though four attacks from beyond the universe aimed to destroy this region of the cosmos.

Boom!

In the next moment, the blood-red spear Qi collided with the blood-red sword Qi, generating a terrifying destructive force that caused the entire Heavenly River Universe to tremble violently.

A soaring killing intent pierced the sky, pervading in all directions.

Under the blood light’s illumination, Soul Return City turned crimson, Ten Thousand Demons Territory turned crimson, and Immortal Forest Territory turned crimson as well.

Bang!

Xu Wu’s body shook, taking two steps back before steadying himself, his aura heavy like a God Mountain standing between heaven and earth, unshakeable.

In contrast, the four Tianhe elders were blasted hundreds of miles away, smashing large areas of the Void before they could barely stabilize their bodies.

Filaments of fresh blood trickled from the corners of their mouths.

"We might truly be getting old!"

An elder wiped the blood from his mouth, his expression full of desolation.

After breaking through to Dao Saint, one gains endless lifespan, but lifespan is one thing; whether one can live forever is another.

Five hundred billion years ago, they followed the Heavenly River Sovereign in battle against Tianhan Country, emerging from mountains of corpses and rivers of blood, leaving behind countless hidden ailments, severely impacting their lifespan.

This led to them realizing their vitality was waning in less than a hundred billion years, seeing the end of their lives.

Helpless, they chose to sleep to slow the loss of their lifespans.

Now, they are still alive, but nearly indistinguishable from the elderly in the mortal realm, sluggish in movement, far from the strength and vigor of their youths.

"Then let’s protect the Tianhe Clan one last time!"

A nearby elder laughed loudly.

As his words fell.

A vast power erupted from within him.

His aged features miraculously restored youthful vigor at a visible pace, his three thousand white strands turning into black silk, even his hunchbacked posture growing straight like a war spear, piercing the heavens.

Now, he had reverted to his youthful form, possessing peak combat strength.

Only his eyes remained cloudy, etched with the marks of age!

"Ha ha!"

"Fight!"

"Since we’re going to die anyway, let’s have one last grand fight!"

The other three Tianhe elders, seeing this, burst into hearty laughter.

Their gazes fierce, they each activated their Cultivation Techniques, squeezing out the Origin Power within their bodies, reverting to youthful states, their fighting spirit unparalleled, intent on matching the heavens.

"Kill!"

The four shouted in unison, brandishing their swords in a charge, their terrifying aura rampaging, several times stronger than before.

At this moment, bright light gleamed from their eyes.

Fight, fight, fight!

Kill, kill, kill!

In a daze, they dreamt of returning to their youth, holding an invincible spirit, fearless against any enemy in the world.

"Struggling in vain!"

Seeing this, Xu Wu’s eyes flared with a fierce light, lifting his blood-red war spear and charging forward to meet them.

Then, the five battled together, unleashing wave after wave of terrifying attacks, shattering the starry sky, suppressing the Dao, overturning yin and yang, and even twisting space-time...

In the Heavenly River Universe camp, Heavenly River Jing, Dongfang Aogu, Nangong Zhuoyue, Commander Mad War, and others looked up at the starry sky, capturing the five figures streaking across it like meteors, silently observing.

"Clan Leader, quickly order the four elders to retreat; if the fight continues, the elders are in danger!"

Yet the returning Elder Song anxiously spoke.

He could see clearly, the gloom surrounding the four elders growing ever denser, much like the darkness descending at sunset, devouring the last ray of light.

Heavenly River Jing remained silent.

What Elder Song could see, how could she not know?

But she knew, this was the four elders’ choice, both for protecting the Tianhe Clan and for retaining their dignity.

Respectable Molding Dao Realm martial artists dying at home would be a laughable tale if spread around!

Martial Artist!

Must have a martial artist’s death!

And that death is dying in battle, with sweat and blood boiling, the soul roaring, the will ascending, founding an indisputable martial journey.

Thus, Heavenly River Jing did not restrain them!

Nor could she!

"Damn Voidness Clan!"

Elder Song grasped the situation, slumped powerlessly in a nearby chair, cursing.

Dongfang Aogu, Nangong Zhuoyue, Commander Mad War, Tian Yi’s faces showed a hint of sorrow, but more importantly, admiration.

"Xu Lian, go retrieve a Molding Dao Realm martial artist’s head!"

Above Soul Return City, Left Minister stood with hands behind his back, seeing Xu Wu being held by the four Tianhe elders, his expression coldly commanding.

Her voice was not loud, yet carried a power capable of swallowing ten thousand miles like a tiger, filling the Heavenly Universe.

"As you command!"

A faint voice arose.

Light-years away, the starry sky began to twist, and a figure dressed in black armor, wielding a ghost-head broadsword, emerged, his cultivation reaching the mid-stage of Molding Dao Realm.

"People of Heavenly River Universe, come forth to meet your demise!"

Xu Lian pointed his sword ahead, showing no expression on his face, yet revealing a terrifying killing intent, formidable and boundless.

To die!

To die!

To die!

Like millions of gods roaring, producing echoes that resonated through heaven and earth.

"Who will go meet him in battle? This man has comprehended the second dimensional power, able to reverse time!"

Heavenly River Jing glanced at Xu Lian and asked Dongfang Aogu and others.

Upon hearing this, all remained silent, showing a worried look.

Although they shared the same realm as Xu Lian, all were mid-stage Molding Dao Realm martial artists, they had not comprehended dimensional power, and in one-on-one battles, they were simply not his match.

Seeing this, Heavenly River Jing’s brows knitted slightly, silently sighing.

She could now be sure that sealing the cultivation method for dimensional power by their ancestors was a mistake.

In absence of external threats, this method ensures Tianhe Clan’s supremacy.

But if faced with invasion, encountering foes, it results in an awkward situation with none to rely on.

Ultimately, leading to downfall.

"What?"

"In all this vast Heavenly River Universe, is there none daring to fight?"

In the starry sky, Xu Lian waited a while but saw none come forward, revealing a mocking expression, sneering aloud.

A murderous intent flashed in Heavenly River Jing’s eyes, grasping her delicate hands tightly, yet she did not make a move.

It was not out of fear!

But because she couldn’t!

As the dignified master of the Heavenly River Universe, facing off against a mere captain, spreading such news would tarnish Heavenly River Universe’s honor.

"Let’s make our move together!"

Dongfang Aogu contemplated a moment, first bowing to Heavenly River Jing, then speaking to Nangong Zhuoyue and Commander Mad War.

"Agreed!"

"Agreeable!"

Nangong Zhuoyue and Commander Mad War nodded, facing enemies at their doorstep, they surely couldn’t keep shrinking away like turtles!

Indeed, three against one lacks fairness!

But unable to avoid it, they were weak after all!

The three broke through the void, confronting Xu Lian.

Looking at Dongfang Aogu and the others, Xu Lian wasted no words, grinning sinisterly, lifting his ghost-head war knife, slashing towards them, the blade light wreaking havoc, twisting space, freezing time.

Leveraging their numbers advantage, the three of Dongfang Aogu pierced through Xu Lian’s attack.

The two sides battled together, establishing a new battleground amidst the starry sky.
