Ouchi Taming the Cat, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!

Chapter 819 Finale
Li Xuan raised his head nervously and found that the bone ring sacrificed by Chen Long was floating quietly above his head.

He was not mistaken, it was the Emperor Hong Bone Ring.

However, the three feathers and the five hoof patterns on it indicate that this is the product of the fusion of eight Emperor Hong bone rings.

Together with the feather and foot in Li Xuan's hands, all ten Emperor Hong bone rings are complete.

"The Emperor Hong bone ring on Emperor Yongyuan's hand also fell into their hands."

Li Xuan sighed.

He was not surprised that the Twelve Saints of Wudao Mountain collected so many Emperor Hong Bone Rings.

But he didn't expect that even the one in Emperor Yongyuan's hand was snatched away by them.

Ever since Taoist Shi Miao pointed out that there were people from three other martial arts holy places among the Twelve Saints of Wudao Mountain, Li Xuan felt that everything made sense.

He was still wondering why Jiuzhou Waterside, Tianlu Academy, and Thirty-Six Peaks had been so slow to contact him. It turned out that they had been hostile from the very beginning.

And the current situation is also very bad for Li Xuan.

The Twelve Saints of Wudao Mountain actually used the Emperor Hong Bone Ring to create a space isolated from the outside world, which caused Li Xuan to lose the support of Heaven.

Li Xuan stared at the enemy in front of him vigilantly, not daring to act rashly.

He had almost no chance of winning against the Twelve Saints of Wudao Mountain alone.

"Damn it, he can actually use the Emperor Hong Bone Ring to such an extent." Li Xuan was secretly shocked.

Li Xuan only thought that the Emperor Hong Bone Ring could create space as a legendary story, but he never thought that the Twelve Saints of Wudao Mountain could actually make it happen.

Li Xuan has now lost his Yin and Yang Qi and can only rely on brute force.

But even he himself didn't think he could break through this space by brute force.

"I wonder if they can think of a solution from outside?"

Li Xuan can only hold on as long as possible now.

Apart from this, he couldn't think of a better way.

The Twelve Saints of Wudao Mountain didn't waste any time. They surrounded Li Xuan and launched an attack.

But what surprised Li Xuan was that they actually engaged in close combat with him.

The Twelve Saints of Wudao Mountain are all powerful men in the Pseudo Heavenly Dao Realm. Even if they only rely on the strength of their physical bodies, they are still extremely powerful.

Li Xuan relied on his small stature and the talents of the beastman clan to roam around amid the siege of the Twelve Saints of Wudao Mountain.

As time went by, wounds slowly appeared on his body.

The Twelve Saints of Wudao Mountain each brought out their own weapons, and Li Xuan also fought back with his claws and teeth.

Both sides come and go, fighting together.

Fortunately, Li Xuan had practiced a lot of physical training techniques before, and he was a beastman himself, so he was not at a disadvantage in such close combat.

However, without the support of Yin and Yang Qi, his injuries could only rely on his body's self-healing ability, which was simply not comparable to before.

Scars slowly appeared on Li Xuan's body. If he continued like this, it would only be a matter of time before he was beaten to death by the Twelve Saints of Wudao Mountain.

"These bastards!"

Under the siege of the enemy, Li Xuan could not take care of both ends and was almost always attacked from behind.

The Twelve Saints of Wudao Mountain cooperated well and were rarely hurt by Li Xuan. Even if they made occasional mistakes, they would retreat to the back under the cover of their companions, giving Li Xuan no chance to defeat them alone.

"Roar--"

Li Xuan roared repeatedly, but still couldn't change the current situation.

The angrier he got, the more powerless he felt.

The fur on Li Xuan's body was gradually soaked with his blood.

He felt his body growing heavier and no longer obeying his commands.

The Twelve Saints of Wudao Mountain saw the opportunity and were about to kill Li Xuan.

At this moment, black mist suddenly erupted from Li Xuan's tail, forcing the Twelve Saints of Wudao Mountain to retreat.

The Twelve Saints of Wudao Mountain kept their distance and did not dare to approach easily.

The black fog slowly condensed into a human figure, appearing before the eyes of the Twelve Saints of Wudao Mountain.

This is a man with a melancholy temperament and handsome appearance, but his age cannot be determined.

Those eyes full of vicissitudes of life can only be possessed by those who have not experienced the tempering of long years.

"How dare you, a coward, still survive!"

Chen Long, one of the Twelve Saints of Wudao Mountain, shouted angrily.

The anger in his tone was undisguised.

"Qingshuang, stop it."

The man looked at Chen Long and asked him.

"Chi Xiao, what qualifications do you have to tell me this?"

Chen Long's voice became sharp.

The Chen Long under the mask turned out to be a woman.

And judging from the way the two addressed each other, they seemed to be old acquaintances.

"Chi Xiao?" Li Xuan was shocked.

When the black mist condensed into a man, Li Xuan guessed that he was the evil dragon.

But no one expected that the evil dragon had actually restored the memory of Li Chixiao, the Dragon Emperor of Yingtian.

Li Xuan recalled the various ways in which the evil dragon had saved him when he was dealing with the core of the cold wave, and he immediately understood something.

However, the evil dragon doesn’t have much strength left now, and it is probably difficult to save Li Xuan.

And judging by the tone of the person speaking to him, their relationship didn't seem to be very good.

"The person wearing the dragon mask is called Qingshuang, and he knows Li Chixiao. This..."

Li Xuan gulped and secretly swallowed his saliva.

You know, the Twin Saints were the ones who established the Daxing Dynasty a thousand years ago.

Then what kind of person is Li Chixiao's old acquaintance?
And Qingshuang's next words gave Li Xuan the answer.

"As a fellow dragon, you know why I do this."

"I am different from you. I will never succumb to the laws of nature, nor will I help outsiders to exterminate my own people."

"Look at you now, you are nothing but a wandering ghost."

"What did you gain, and what did she leave behind for you?"

"This is ridiculous. You are not worthy of being a dragon!"

Qingshuang, who had remained calm the whole time, suddenly exploded with emotion when she saw Li Chixiao.

Facing Qingshuang's accusations, Li Chixiao just sighed and did not make any excuses.

He just continued to persuade: "Qingshuang, the era of our dragon race is over."

"Accept it, it's the truth."

"The way of heaven is ruthless. There is no intention to target anyone."

Qing Shuang sneered: "Chi Xiao, you still don't understand anything."

She glanced at Li Chixiao with disdain.

The three-feathered five-legged rings above their heads suddenly started spinning rapidly.

The Twelve Saints of Wudao Mountain also quietly surrounded Li Xuan.

"Heaven's way is ruthless. It is just the law that this world uses to maintain itself."

"Of course I know that I can't kill Tiandao, and there's no way I can ask for revenge."

Qingshuang paced slowly and patiently explained to Li Xuan and Li Chixiao.

"Then why did you do all this?"

When Li Chixiao asked, he made a subtle gesture to Li Xuan and then waved.

Li Xuan immediately understood and silently placed the Emperor Hong bone ring on his tail under Li Chixiao's feet.

"Heh." Qingshuang smiled slightly.

"Chi Xiao, stop playing dumb."

"You and I have experienced it ourselves, and we both know that this rule is wrong."

"The destruction of the dragon clan is still vivid in my mind. Can you forget it all?"

"Chi Xiao, let me ask you, why do you think they followed me?"

"Did I force them?" Qingshuang asked harshly.

As she finished her words, the other Twelve Saints of Mount Wudao silently took off their masks.

In the Dihong space, they were also unable to use true Qi, which was why they had to engage in hand-to-hand combat with Li Xuan.

The Twelve Saints of Wudao Mountain revealed their true identities one by one.

Except Bai Minglang, Li Xuan didn't know anyone.

Among them are old faces and young faces.

But without exception, their expressions were extremely firm, and they did not look confused at all.

At this time, Bai Minglang suddenly said: "Destiny, just like Nilubaier and the others followed you, we also follow our ideals."

"You think you're saving the world, but coincidentally, we think so too."

Bai Minglang smiled and looked at Li Xuan calmly.

"How many people in Daxing died because of you when you assisted King Zheng in his atrocities?"

"Do you think I will believe what you say?"

Li Xuan didn't believe Bai Minglang's words at all.

"The one who is destined."

Qingshuang called out Li Xuan.

Li Xuan also turned to look at her.

"Ask him if we are the one who caused the dragon vein phenomenon in Daxing?"

Qingshuang pointed at Li Chixiao and spoke righteously.

Li Xuan frowned slightly and glanced at Li Chixiao.

"Ask him again, was the cold wave caused by us?"

Li Chixiao remained silent.

"We were able to appear here in the first place because there is a teleportation array left by the dragon clan near Holy Snow City."

"We in the outside world are keeping an eye on the development of the cold wave."

"Man of Destiny, I want to ask you a question this time." Qingshuang suddenly changed the subject.

"With our strength, could Emperor Yongyuan only lose an arm when you were trapped in the cold wave?"

"We just need the Emperor Hong bone ring on his hand."

Qingshuang spoke calmly and took off the mask on her face.

This is an extremely beautiful woman, but there are spots of blue-green dragon scales on her face, which makes her even more mysterious.

Qingshuang revealed her true face.

Li Xuan looked at the Three-Feather Five-Legged Ring spinning above his head and knew what Qingshuang was preparing.

But they also need time for Li Chixiao to use his methods.

Both sides were happy to continue delaying.

"What is your real purpose?"

Perhaps, this is Li Xuan's best chance to get an answer.

"As we said at the beginning, Heaven is our enemy."

Qingshuang looked up, but unfortunately her sight could not penetrate the Dihong space and see the sky high above.

This made her feel extremely disappointed.

"My Lord, let me tell you how the dragon race was destroyed."

"The last people to dominate the world were our dragon race. Although our numbers are not as large as yours, the power we possess is beyond your imagination, and we have also established an extremely glorious civilization."

"The magic weapons and formations that the human race has not yet been able to fully master are only a small part of our civilization."

"The ancient times mentioned by humans are the period when our dragon race ruled the world."

Qingshuang said this with a look of pride on her face.

Hearing this, Li Chixiao's expression couldn't help but be moved.

"But such a powerful dragon clan was finally destroyed." Qingshuang sighed.

"Just like the human race today, continuous natural disasters have reduced the already small number of dragons to just me and that loser."

Qingshuang glared at Li Chixiao.

"Next, the human race became the new race chosen by Heaven to rule the world."

"The human race has risen rapidly through cultivation, but their upper limit is far lower than that of the dragon race. Only the chosen ones with destiny can gain power close to that of our dragon race."

"Oh, I forgot to tell you that there were also people with destiny among the dragon race in the past. They were just like the human race today. They foolishly believed that the people with destiny were the embodiment of hope."

A self-deprecating smile appeared on Qingshuang's beautiful face.

"God of Destiny, your act of saving the world is pushing the human race towards extinction, until the next race emerges to take over the human race and rule the world."

Qingshuang's words startled Li Xuan, and he thought of the mutated beasts and zombies he had seen in the cold wave.

"No, that's impossible!"

Li Xuan denied it subconsciously.

"You believed her lies and helped her to do evil?"

Li Xuan turned around and questioned Bai Minglang and others.

Faced with Li Xuan's questioning, they did not waver at all.

Instead, Bai Minglang introduced the old man next to Li Xuan.

"The Man of Destiny, this is the Palace Master of the Tianlu Academy, and also the most knowledgeable person in the world."

The old man stepped forward, saluted Li Xuan and said, "I am Zhuge Wen. I am sorry to meet the Destiny One in this way."

Zhuge Wen was polite and sincere.

"God of destiny, when Qingshuang came to me with this conclusion, I couldn't believe it either."

"But everything that happened afterwards confirmed her inference, and even our Tianlu Academy found a lot of supporting evidence."

"Over a long period of time, Qingshuang took great risks and secretly contacted all the dynasties and martial arts holy places, but in the end, only our three families were willing to believe him."

"Just like everyone else believes you can save the world."

Li Xuan remained silent, knowing that there was no way around the conflict between them.

The Twelve Saints of Mount Wudao have beliefs that are no less powerful than theirs.

In this case, unless one side is completely defeated.

Otherwise, no one can convince anyone else.

At this moment, Li Chixiao had also made his own preparations and secretly sent a message to Li Xuan:
"go!"

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and pointed downwards.

The Dihong bone ring on Li Xuan's tail suddenly emitted a black light, penetrating the Dihong space that trapped them.

The moment Li Xuan heard the voice transmission, he immediately rushed towards the temporarily opened gap.

Li Chixiao's figure did not move, but became more illusory in the spot, as if he would disappear at any time.

Li Xuan did not look back, he knew that this was the only remaining strength of Li Chixiao.

But seeing this change, Qingshuang just smiled lightly.

She just waved her finger, and the three-feather five-legged ring spun at high speed and blocked Li Xuan in an instant.

Li Xuan didn't even have the chance to react, he ran into it head-on and was bounced away, causing stars to appear in his eyes.

In this Dihong space, this ring is the master. It is impossible for Li Xuan to be faster than it.

"Don't worry, little black cat."

"I will let you be refined by this space without any pain."

"Then you'll be free."

Qingshuang still spoke calmly.

The passage opened by Li Chixiao was being repaired and was about to be completely healed.

Li Chixiao sighed secretly.

Li Xuan's Emperor Hong Bone Ring is still too weak compared to the one in Qingshuang's hand.

Li Chixiao has tried his best, but he still feels a little regretful.

"If you kill me, can you change the rules of heaven?"

"If you let the source of the disaster go, can you save the human race?"

"ridiculous!"

Li Xuan shook his head, still feeling groggy, but couldn't help but questioned unconvinced.

"God's will, this is our sorrow."

"We are all caged birds. Whether it is the power of the dragon race or the power of the human race, it all comes from this world."

"So, killing the Heavenly Dao and destroying the Heavenly Dao is simply nonsense."

Qingshuang's words immediately ignited Li Xuan's anger.

"If you knew that, why did you do that?"

"So many innocent people died because of you!"

"Daxing, Damao, and Beiliang, do all these people deserve to die?"

"Enough, Man of Destiny!" Zhuge Wen from Tianlu Academy suddenly interrupted Li Xuan's questioning.

"We have no intention of targeting anyone, nor do we want to disregard any life."

"But didn't you notice?"

"From the dragon tribe to us, and then to those mutant beast tribes in the cold wave..."

"The race chosen by Heaven is becoming weaker and weaker, and more and more ignorant."

"The Way of Heaven only cares about maintaining its own operating cycle, and only seeks to be as fast as possible, and only seeks the efficiency of the cycle."

"Look at us. We have been practicing since we were born, constantly absorbing the power of this world and turning it into cultivation."

"From now on, for a few decades or even hundreds of years, these powers will be used by us and cannot be effectively utilized in the cycle of yin and yang and the five elements in heaven and earth."

"But what do we humans do most often after we gain power?"

"It's killing and destruction!"

"It's fratricide and indulging in desires!"

Zhuge Wen held his head in pain.

"I can't believe that the human race, who claims to be civilized, is even inferior to the unintelligent beast race."

"Our flourishing martial arts allows practitioners to draw strength from heaven and earth, and most of it is used in battles between high-level warriors."

Zhuge Wen's eyes gradually turned red, and the veins on his hands, which were holding his head, were exposed.

Their Tianlu Academy was established with knowledge as its foundation and with the pursuit of understanding the truth of the world. They claim to be the symbol of civilization among the eight martial arts holy places.

But when Zhuge Wen discovered the truth, he almost went crazy.

He didn't believe Qingshuang at first, thinking she was just a scoundrel who was trying to attract attention.

There are always many such visitors in Tianlu Academy.

But reality gave him a loud slap in the face.

Zhuge Wen's hands slowly and weakly loosened.

"Destiny, do you know?"

"A stable human system is the greatest harm to the Way of Heaven."

"Upper third-grade warriors value their lives more and more, and rarely fight to the death, which results in the Five Elements Reincarnation only happening after their lifespan is exhausted."

"This further disrupts the cycle of yin and yang and the five elements between heaven and earth..."

"We humans are the thorn in the side of Heaven."

Zhuge Wen spoke in despair.

Li Xuan couldn't help but remain silent.

He had benefited from the Five Elements Cycle many times and knew what a powerful force it was.

But these powers are occupied by human warriors as Zhuge Wen said, and can only be returned to heaven and earth after death.

Li Xuan made an even more horrifying discovery: when the top three rank warriors used their strength, it seemed to be all for fighting.

"No, this is impossible..."

Li Xuan is the one chosen by heaven, but heaven’s will targets the human race.

He looked down at the passage below that was about to heal, and couldn't help but think of Princess Ankang and Yu'er.

The entire Dihong space fell into silence, only the Three-Feather Five-Legged Ring was spinning faster and faster, gradually emitting a sharp buzzing sound.

But at this moment, a golden light suddenly flashed in the channel that was about to heal.

A powerful force shot in from outside.

The passage suddenly expanded, and then several figures came out of it.

"Axuan!"

Three figures rushed into the Dihong space one after another, and the one leading the way was Princess Ankang.

Xiao Lingshuang and Xiao Baiyun followed closely behind.

Princess Ankang rushed to Li Xuan's side at the first moment, with ice bombs pressed on her fingers, and glanced at the Twelve Saints of Wudao Mountain vigilantly.

"Axuan, are you okay?"

"How did you get in?" Li Xuan was startled and immediately panicked.

"The Hermit of Xige and Taoist Master Shimiao teamed up to gain control of the Rune Square. We happened to see a flaw here and rushed in at once."

"But for some reason, only the three of us succeeded."

Li Xuan looked at Princess Ankang and the other three and immediately understood what was going on.

Although no one knows how it does it, the Dihong Space can isolate the power of heaven and earth and make the warrior's true qi ineffective.

It is hard to say whether other people who approach the Dihong Space can remain in the air.

Only Princess Ankang and her two companions rely on their physical strength and the power of Nirvana, which is not in the same system as true Qi.

Even if the power of Nirvana loses its effect, they can still rely on their physical strength to rush into the Emperor Hong Space.

But at this time, the passage previously opened by Li Chixiao had been completely repaired, and they had lost the possibility of leaving this place.

Li Chixiao's figure had become extremely illusory.

After seeing this scene, he only left one sentence for Li Xuan.

"Remember what I told you, think it over before making a decision."

After saying this, Li Chixiao's figure completely disappeared.

Qingshuang watched all this quietly, and finally looked in the direction where Li Chixiao disappeared.

The last trace of her, the only remaining member of her tribe, in the world also completely disappeared.

"Goodbye, brother..."

Qingshuang muttered to herself in her heart.

Ever since her brother chose to help the human woman with destiny, she no longer recognized him as her brother.

But in the end, she couldn't help but call out in her heart.

At this time, Princess Ankang and others had already started fighting with the other Twelve Saints of Wudao Mountain.

They wanted to take Li Xuan away from here.

It is because of their amazing physique that they were able to fight against the Twelve Saints of Wudao Mountain without losing.

This special space is actually very beneficial to Princess Ankang and others.

"Got to grab that ring."

Li Xuan reminded Princess Ankang.

He already felt uncomfortable.

Li Xuan had a premonition that if he continued to let the Three Feathers Five-legged Ring rotate, his life would probably come to an end.

He was now beginning to lose the strength to move and could only be held in Princess Ankang's arms.

Princess Ankang continued to use stone-slinging to attack the Twelve Saints of Wudao Mountain, forcing them back one by one.

But there are only three people on Princess Ankang's side.

No matter how strong they are, they will still be in trouble when facing the siege of these pseudo-heavenly realm masters.

"In that case, you should stay here and accompany the Destiny One."

After Qingshuang finished speaking, he raised one hand and performed a hand seal towards the Three-Feather Five-Legged Ring.

This time, the Three-Feather Five-Legged Ring was spinning faster and faster, and Li Xuan's physical condition was getting worse and worse.

"Axuan!"

Princess Ankang was extremely anxious, but she was completely helpless in the face of the siege from the Twelve Saints of Wudao Mountain.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly emerged from the shadow under Princess Ankang's feet and rushed towards Qingshuang.

The figure continued to grow larger and larger, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a huge black tiger.

"Roar--"

Everyone present was stunned.

Even Li Xuan and Princess Ankang were no exception.

They didn't recognize this black tiger at all. How did it come out from under Princess Ankang's feet?
Qing Shuang, on the other hand, seemed to recognize the black tiger and cursed, "You beast, what does this have to do with you?"

The black tiger ignored Qingshuang and opened its bloody mouth to bite her at an extremely fast speed.

Qingshuang had no choice but to release the handprint and dodge in a hurry.

The speed of the three-feather five-legged ring above their heads suddenly slowed down. No matter where the black tiger came from, it seemed that he was not on good terms with Qing Shuang.

Li Xuan, Princess Ankang and others were immediately excited and fought hard with the Twelve Saints of Wudao Mountain, trying to make a breakthrough.

Black Tiger was so powerful that he chased Qingshuang all over the field.

The characteristics of the Dihong Space allow beasts like the Black Tiger to exert their maximum strength.

But Qingshuang is not a vegetarian either.

She was being chased by the black tiger and was harassed by it. Seeing that the others could not take down Princess Ankang and others in a short time, she stopped hiding her strength.

The dragon scales on her face suddenly became obvious, and dragon scales were also faintly visible on her arms.

The next moment, Qingshuang turned around and chopped down a huge dragon tail in front of the black tiger, knocking the black tiger back and hitting the Dihong space, unable to get up for a while.

Hei Hu stood up again with great effort, and a hint of mischief flashed in his cold eyes as he stared at Qing Shuang.

At the same time, outside the Dihong Space, a deafening thunder was heard, and they could all hear it clearly inside.

Qingshuang's face suddenly turned ugly and she stared at Heihu fiercely.

"You evil beast, you actually have such intelligence!"

Boom——

There was another roar of thunder.

This time, a large crack was directly created in Di Hong's space.

Li Xuan and Princess Ankang looked up and were overjoyed to see light leaking in from above.

"Come on!"

Princess Ankang greeted Xiao Lingshuang and Xiao Baiyun, then rushed straight to the hole above her head.

"impossible!"

Qingshuang yelled angrily.

She no longer cared about anything else and revealed her true identity.

In the Dihong space, a giant blue dragon appeared with beautiful lines.

Qingshuang revealed his true form and flashed into the crack above. With a wave of his claws, he knocked back Princess Ankang and the others.

Even though Princess Ankang and the others were very strong, they were still injured by the power of the dragon clan and started vomiting blood immediately.

"Qingshuang, don't!"

The other twelve saints of Wudao Mountain shouted in unison, as if something terrible would happen if Qingshuang revealed his true form.

"This is the best chance, we must end it again!"

Qingshuang's tone was firm.

But as she finished her words, a series of thunders sounded outside, as if an abnormal thunderstorm was about to come.

But Qingshuang ignored all this and rushed towards Princess Ankang who was protecting Li Xuan.

Li Xuan looked at Qingshuang who was rushing towards him, and beyond her huge body, he saw the crack in Dihong Space caused by lightning.

He looked through the crack and saw the gloomy sky.

In the gloomy sky, lightning flashed.

Li Xuan remembered what Li Chixiao had said to him in the Emperor Hong Bone Ring.

"Don't be promoted to the first rank unless it is absolutely necessary."

"Once you achieve the true Heavenly Dao realm, you will no longer be your true self."

"You will become part of the will of heaven, and you will forget everyone you love."

"You can't imagine how painful it is for someone you've forgotten."

"But if you are ready, the will of heaven will accept you at any time."

"For a person with a destiny to be promoted to the first rank is the easiest and most painful thing on the road of cultivation."

Li Xuan thought of Li Chixiao's expression at that time and couldn't help but sigh.

But Li Xuan still resolutely said in his heart:
"I'm ready."

"Take me away."

Li Xuan couldn't help but look up at Princess Ankang.

At this moment, she stared at Qingshuang who was rushing towards them with a look of shock on her face, and her arms around Li Xuan tightened.

Li Xuan's eyes suddenly became extremely gentle, and a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He felt Princess Ankang's soft embrace for the last time.

boom! ! !
A dazzling beam of light poured down from the crack above.

Qingshuang's huge body was swept away.

The beam of light fell on Li Xuan, and divine light burst out from his eyes.

"The source of disasters, return it to heaven and earth!"

The voice of Heaven's will sounded in his mind again.

Li Xuan finally understood the meaning of this sentence in the last moment before his consciousness faded.

It turned out that he had misunderstood everything before.

This is not just a sentence.

Two abbreviated sentences.

Now, Li Xuan is also going to become a part of this voice.

Princess Ankang felt a huge buoyancy on Li Xuan's body, as if it was going to carry him up to the sky.

She couldn't help but feel a strong panic in her heart and didn't dare to let go of his embrace.

"Axuan, Axuan..."

Princess Ankang didn't understand what was going on.

But she always had a feeling that if she let go, she would never be able to find Xuan again.

Princess Ankang desperately tightened her arms, causing her to be lifted up by the force.

"Don't... take my Xuan away..."

Princess Ankang's tears were lifted up by the force and fell drop by drop on Li Xuan's body.

She couldn't catch Li Xuan, so she pressed her body against Li Xuan's back.

"Ah Xuan, where are you going?"

"Don't leave me alone."

Princess Ankang pleaded into Li Xuan's ear.

The next moment, a beam of light suddenly burst out, completely dispersing the entire Dihong space.

With the disappearance of the Dihong Space, the Twelve Saints of Wudao Mountain regained the power of true qi.

But at this time, the outside world has become very different.

They saw dark clouds pressing down heavily, and countless thunders filled their sight.

When Qingshuang's figure was exposed here, the thunders bombarded her mercilessly.

In an instant, she was severely injured and vomited blood.

"Qingshuang, quickly hide your true form, let's use the battle formation to resist!"

The other Twelve Saints of Mount Wudao called out loudly.

"It's too late. Follow me to stop the Destiny One from breaking through!"

Qingshuang gritted her teeth, knowing that she could not escape today.

"Then let's fight!"

Zhuge Wen shouted angrily and rushed towards Qingshuang's real body first.

The other twelve saints of Wudao Mountain were stunned, and then they understood what Zhuge Wen meant.

They also rushed towards Qingshuang, and with her body as the core, they once again formed the Taiyin-Taiyang battle formation with the Yin-Yang and Five Elements.

However, they maintained the fusion state of the two battle formations, and even with Qingshuang's true body as the core, they still could not hold on for long.

"you!?"

Qingshuang showed a look of surprise, and then her eyes turned red.

She stopped talking nonsense and rushed directly to the place where the light beam burst out.

"Can't lose!"

"We can't lose!!"

Qingshuang kept shouting in her heart.

Thunder kept striking her body, which was the rejection of her by the heaven.

Dragons shouldn't still exist in this world.

This is the natural law that has already been formed in this world, and no one can go against it.

But the Taiyin-Taiyang battle formation protecting Qingshuang blocked these thunders for her.

At this time, only a figure was left at the place where the light column exploded.

She was a girl covered in black ice crystal armor.

The girl's temperament was floating in the air coldly.

Her mask covered her entire face, leaving even her eyes uncovered.

But she immediately turned around and looked at the Twelve Saints of Wudao Mountain who were rushing towards her.

The girl bent her body slightly, then suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the Twelve Saints of Wudao Mountain.

Before Qingshuang, the core of the formation, could react, she was hit hard on the head with a punch.

Qingshuang's huge dragon body shot directly into the sea of ​​clouds, attracting more thunder and lightning.

"Cough cough..."

Qingshuang vomited blood, his huge dragon eyes full of shock.

"The power of the Heavenly Dao Realm!?"

"He's already been promoted. How come it happened so quickly?"

Qingshuang was puzzled, but she had no choice but to fight to the death.

One man and one dragon engage in the most primitive hand-to-hand combat.

Xiao Lingshuang and Xiao Baiyun hid back in the Rune Square as quickly as possible.

The thunder in the sky is so terrible.

Even with their physique, they probably couldn't withstand it.

Nirubel and others also landed on the Rune Square to watch the battle.

This world-destroying scene made these top masters feel powerless.

The thunder obscured their vision, preventing them from seeing the battle in the sky.

But powerful power fluctuations continued to be heard, proving that the outcome of this shocking battle had not yet been decided.

I do not know how long it has been.

Suddenly there was a loud noise from the ground.

The thunder in the sky gradually became less frequent until it disappeared completely.

Qingshuang's huge dragon body fell miserably to the ground, no longer able to get up.

The other twelve saints of Wudao Mountain also exhausted their strength and reached the last moment of their lives.

boom!
The girl in ice armor landed with a bang and came in front of Qingshuang.

Then, the ice armor on the girl's body exploded, and her body fell to the ground.

A black light emerged from the girl's body, fell to the ground and turned into Li Xuan's appearance.

Princess Ankang was in a state of confusion, but she still forced herself to reach out to Li Xuan.

But Li Xuan didn't care about it at all and didn't even turn to look at Princess Ankang.

Li Xuan's eyes, which originally had a golden background and black pupils, were now filled with a restrained divine light, without any emotional fluctuations.

Qing Shuang looked at Li Xuan like this and couldn't help but laugh miserably:
"I lost."

“But you didn’t seem to win either.”

"Ugh--"

Qingshuang's eyes were filled with fatigue as she waited quietly for death.

Li Xuan raised a claw and pressed towards Qingshuang's dragon head.

"Axuan..."

Princess Ankang's call made Li Xuan pause.

He raised his paw but hesitated to press it on Qingshuang's head.

In a moment, before Li Xuan's cat claws could press down, Qingshuang's eyes completely lost their luster.

"Please give Xuan back to me..."

Princess Ankang said with difficulty.

She could feel that the black cat in front of her, who was only willing to show her his back, was not her Ah Xuan.

Li Xuan seemed not to have heard Princess Ankang's words and did not give her any response.

But at this moment, with the sound of a jingle bell, a ring fell in front of Princess Ankang.

The ring was engraved with patterns of feathers and hooves, and was very similar to the ring on Li Xuan's tail.

Princess Ankang found strength from nowhere, picked up the ring in front of her, and touched it with the one on Li Xuan's tail.

The next moment, the ten Emperor Hong bone rings began to fuse on their own.

Li Xuan's body suddenly stiffened, then he fell to the ground and lost consciousness.

Princess Ankang was startled, but before she could do anything, a dark shadow rushed over from the side.

Princess Ankang saw that it was the black tiger that had suddenly appeared before.

She couldn't help but think of the Desert Wolf King's previous reminder.

The black tiger in front of him is most likely the creature mentioned by the Desert Wolf King before.

But the next moment, Princess Ankang's eyes suddenly widened. If she had been out of strength, she would have screamed out.

The black tiger opened its bloody mouth and bit Li Xuan.

"Do not……"

The situation Princess Ankang worried about did not happen.

The black tiger simply picked up the skin from the back of Li Xuan's neck.

It glanced at the dying Twelve Saints of Mount Wudao, then turned around.

The Emperor Hong Bone Ring was still fusing, but was easily taken off Li Xuan's tail by the black tiger.

Hei Hu placed the Dihong bone ring in Princess Ankang's hand and motioned for her to put it on.

Princess Ankang didn't know what Hei Hu wanted to do, but she did as he asked.

Li Xuan was in the black tiger's mouth, and Princess Ankang dared not disobey it.

"your Highness!"

At this time, Nirubail and others rushed out from the Rune Square and were frightened to see a black tiger standing next to Princess Ankang.

Princess Ankang saw that the situation was critical, so she took a deep breath and warned loudly:

"do not come!"

Nirubel and the others then slowly stopped, but they were still worried.

Princess Ankang could see that Hei Hu had no ill will towards her.

Otherwise, given her current condition, it would be a piece of cake for the black tiger to eat her.

Hei Hu glanced at Nilubaier and the others but didn't care too much.

It quietly watched Princess Ankang put on the Emperor Hong Bone Ring with great effort, and then returned Li Xuan in its mouth to Princess Ankang.

Heihu carefully stuffed the unconscious Li Xuan into Princess Ankang's arms, and then licked Li Xuan's fur carefully.

Then, the black tiger slowly moved its huge head closer to Princess Ankang.

Seeing this scene, Nirubel and others subconsciously held their breath.

But the black tiger just put his forehead against Princess Ankang's head.

The next moment, a gentle female voice sounded in Princess Ankang's mind:
"Satisfy the will of Heaven, and perhaps you will have a chance to find him again."

"But at the same time, the human race will be pushed into a dangerous situation."

These two sentences surprised and delighted Princess Ankang.

"It's all up to you how you choose."

"We are the next choice of the Heavenly Dao, but we are not in a hurry."

Finally, the black tiger looked kindly at Li Xuan in Princess Ankang's arms, then slowly hid into the shadows and disappeared completely.

Princess Ankang hugged Li Xuan tightly, and the Dihong bone ring she was wearing had completely recognized its master.

She stared at the direction where the black tiger left for a long time, wondering what she was thinking.

At this time, someone called out, "Your Highness the Princess."

Princess Ankang had regained some strength. She turned around and saw a strange old man.

But from his current state, it is not difficult to judge that the old man is one of the Twelve Saints of Wudao Mountain.

The frail old man took out a key from his arms, placed it on the ground and pushed it to Princess Ankang.

"Please go to Tianlu Academy and take a look..."

After the old man said this, his pupils dilated and he fell silent.

The Twelve Saints of Wudao Mountain slowly died one by one.

Bai Minglang sensed that his companions' breath was gradually fading away, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch the air.

Several metal threads appeared under his fingers, playing a sad elegy to bid farewell to his companions.

Nirubail and others have already arrived in front of Princess Ankang.

They watched as the Twelve Saints of Wudao Mountain died one by one.

Bai Minglang was the last one, but he was unable to finish his last song.

All the twelve saints of Wudao Mountain died, not a single one survived.

……

Unnamed island in the South China Sea.

Two graceful girls stood side by side, looking at the red sea in the distance.

A young girl holds a sword, like an ice lotus blooming on a snowy mountain, keeping people thousands of miles away.

The other girl was as warm as a spring breeze, with a gentle smile on her face. She was holding a wicker basket full of red flowers in her hands and a transparent glass gourd on her waist.

In the glass gourd, a goldfish the size of a fingernail is swimming around, looking very lively.

If you look closely, you can see that this goldfish has an extraordinary body shape and a majestic head, as if it is about to turn into a dragon.

"Be healthy. Father is waiting for you to come back." Princess Yan Zhao sounded a little worried.

"No rush. We will still have time to return to Beijing after going through the endless sea of ​​fire." Princess Ankang answered confidently.

"Then you must remember to return before the New Year. Father intends to pass the throne to you after your eighteenth birthday, but I'm afraid his body won't be able to hold on for much longer."

Princess Ankang's birthday is December 31st, the last day of the year.

The day after her birthday is Chinese New Year.

At this time, there was less than half a year left until her eighteenth birthday.

"Don't worry, sister. The problem of the endless sea of ​​fire has just appeared and will be solved soon."

Princess Ankang made repeated assurances.

Princess Yan Zhao shook her head and said nothing more.

She was also very clear about the character of this imperial sister, and once she made up her mind, it was impossible to change it.

"By the way, Taoist Master Shi Miao is very interested in the theory of the unity of man and nature that you proposed. I hope you can come to our Wuxianju to discuss it when you have time."

Princess Yan Zhao's words made Princess Ankang smile slightly: "It seems that my sister is enjoying her cultivation."

Speaking of this, Princess Yan Zhao couldn't help showing a little embarrassment.

"Hehe, I have to thank my royal sister for her help." Princess Yanzhao bowed with a smile.

"Don't be so cautious, my sister. You can't just take this favor away like that. I will definitely ask you for a big favor in the future." Princess Ankang said with a mischievous smile.

"Just give me your instructions when the time comes." Princess Yan Zhao naturally agreed.

The two sisters chatted and laughed for a while. Princess Yanzhao looked at the rattan basket in Princess Ankang's hand and couldn't help asking:
"Can Xuan really wake up?"

Princess Yan Zhao looked down.

In the wicker basket, a black cat was lying quietly, without any sound.

"It's coming soon..."

Princess Ankang looked into the distance and answered in a low voice.

Princess Yanzhao remembered that Princess Ankang answered her in the same way the last time she asked this question.

At this time, a call came from a distance.

"Your Highnesses, everything is ready."

Yu'er came from a distance, bowed to the two princesses, and then reported.

"Royal sister, I'm leaving now. See you in the capital."

"Okay, you guys should be careful along the way."

Princess Yan Zhao said goodbye.

Yu'er has now grown up completely, standing tall and graceful with an extraordinary appearance.

Her strength was also successfully promoted to the third level, and she is one of the youngest upper third level warriors today.

Since the battle of Holy Snow City, many of the participants have made breakthroughs.

Among them, Yuer's progress is the most obvious.

They could all feel that after that battle, they seemed to have been reborn and transformed in all aspects.

Yu'er, who had the weakest cultivation at the time, had the most obvious changes.

After the two princesses said goodbye, a group of people who had been waiting for a long time followed Princess Ankang to the beach.

Among them are many familiar faces from the battle of Holy Snow City, as well as some unfamiliar new faces.

Arriving at the beach, Princess Ankang untied the gourd around her waist and shook out the goldfish inside, amid everyone's expectations.

The goldfish fell into the sea and grew larger on its own, eventually becoming as big as a giant ship.

"Everyone, let's go!"

Princess Ankang called out and was the first to step onto the goldfish's back.

The others followed suit, and with dozens of people stepping onto the goldfish, it didn't seem crowded at all.

Princess Ankang patted the goldfish's head and said:
"Golden Pig, this trip depends on you!"

The golden pig immediately shook its head, swung its body, and carried everyone into the deep red sea.

The feeling of returning to his hometown makes the Golden Pig extremely happy.

Princess Yan Zhao stood on the shore, looking at the goldfish's back which had turned into a dot in the blink of an eye, and gave a blessing:
"Come back safely."

But when she thought that Princess Ankang had already walked through the Emerald Plateau and Dream Abyss, Princess Yanzhao felt that the endless sea of ​​fire might be nothing more than this to Princess Ankang.

Thinking of this, she turned and left.

……

The following New Year.

Emperor Yongyuan passed the throne to his thirteenth daughter Li Ankang, who was honored with the title Empress Miaoxuan.

When Empress Miaoxuan ascended the throne, hundreds of countries in the desert, Beiliang, and the Western Regions all declared that they respected her as their master and incorporated her into the territory of Daxing.

From then on, Daxing unified the world.

Since ascending the throne, Empress Miao Xuan has reorganized the martial arts training system, integrated martial arts practice with daily life, vigorously promoted the concept of harmony between man and nature, and advocated coexistence of mankind and the world, and harmony between all things.

This change has brought a lot of convenience to people's daily lives.

But this also infringes upon the interests of traditional warriors, making them feel constrained and deprived of their freedom.

As a result, conflicts continued to break out between civilian warriors and the imperial court, but they were all strongly suppressed by Empress Miao Xuan.

But even so, there was still an endless stream of people who dared to enter the palace to assassinate.

Because many warriors have seen clearly that unless they submit to the rules of the court, they will lose the freedom to break the law with force.

This night.

Inside the palace, another thief came to assassinate Empress Miao Xuan, but he was discovered by the Ministry of Internal Affairs before he could enter the empress's bedroom.

"Deputy Chief Manager Deng, there are still three thieves escaping towards Jingyang Palace."

When Deng Weixian heard this, his face twitched, but soon he turned serious and waved his hand, saying:

"Ignore it!"

He is going to be embarrassed again today.

Everyone said that Deng Weixin became the deputy chief steward of the Imperial Household Department because of his sister's power.

No one could see the effort he put into reaching the fourth level at such a young age.

But there was a loophole in today's defense after all, and these thieves managed to escape to Jingyang Palace alive.

It looks like I have to deliver dried fish to Jingyang Palace again tomorrow morning.

Deng Weixian sighed and had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

The flowery-dressed eunuchs under his command also knew what was going on, so they didn't want to offend their young boss and all tried to hold back their laughter.

As luck would have it, a strange laugh suddenly rang out from the palace in the middle of the night, and then everyone heard clearly:
"Hey! The Imperial Cat is here, why don't you just surrender!"
