Honghuang: I am Qitian and I want to fight for the throne

Chapter 440 The Death of Yunxiao and the Substitute Talisman
Yunxiao's expression changed drastically.

The shadow of death that invaded her soul made her have no doubt that once she was sucked into that Heaven-Suppressing Coffin, she would be instantly annihilated, body and soul.

Even the true spirit cannot escape!

"The Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation!"

Yunxiao gave a soft shout, formed a hand seal, and instantly nine winding, turbulent yellow river phantoms appeared beneath his feet!

Once the formation is established,
The primordial golden light merged with the turbid yellow sand and waves of the great formation, forming a desolate domain containing the power of sealing, sinking, and bewilderment, which temporarily resisted the invasion of the black chains.

Turbid waves surged into the sky within the formation, distorting space, attempting to draw the malevolent black energy into the formation and dissipate it.

"Hmph! The mere Yellow River with its nine bends dares to block my Heaven-Suppressing Coffin?"

Blood trickled from the corner of the Antarctic Immortal's mouth, but his eyes grew even more crazed. Ignoring the intensifying backlash on himself, he forcefully unleashed his magical power!

The Heaven-Suppressing Coffin trembled again, and the crack in the coffin lid widened slightly!
"Om-!"

The next moment, the rift transformed into a black hole that devoured the heavens, and the suction force became even more terrifying.

It is also accompanied by even stronger resentment, curses, and darkness!
"Crack! Click!"

A teeth-grinding sound of breaking was heard!

The foundation of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation is groaning in agony!
In the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, the turbid waves and yellow sand formed by the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation shattered like fragile bubbles.

Immediately following, the nine winding phantom images of the Yellow River also crumbled and disintegrated inch by inch!
The Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation—Break!

"puff!"

The formation was forcibly broken, and Yunxiao was struck as if by a heavy blow, spitting out blood and turning as pale as paper.

His breath also weakened!

The Hunyuan Golden Cauldron also flew back to her side with a mournful cry, its radiance dimmed.

"Buzz!"

The next moment, countless chains of resentment broke through all obstacles, coiling around the clouds like maggots clinging to bones.

It was then directly pulled into the crack in the Zhen Tian Coffin.

"Bang!"

The coffin lid slammed shut!

Immediately afterwards, terrifying sounds of bones being crushed and flesh being chewed came from inside the coffin, sending chills down one's spine!
In just a moment, the sound disappeared.

A trickle of dark reddish-black blood seeped from the crack in the coffin lid!
“Senior Sister——!”

Qiongxiao and Bixiao's screams were heart-wrenching, filled with unbelievable despair, instantly piercing the deathly silence.

The other disciples of Huaguo Mountain were also filled with sorrow.

Intense killing intent and grief burned silently in the void, distorting space.

Yunxiao, the leader of the Three Immortals and one of Qitian's personal disciples, was actually killed.

"Hiss~ Body and soul annihilated? Even the true spirit couldn't escape..."

Those watching the battle around them were also horrified.

"What kind of malevolent treasure is this?"

"It's over! We've really messed things up! How could the Great Sage Equaling Heaven let this go?"

"A fair fight, witnessed by the Great Dao! Even if the Holy Venerable is enraged, what can he do? Can he kill Antarctica on the spot?"

"That's true... but that's Yunxiao! The consequences... are enormous!"

Shocked discussions spread like wildfire.

Countless gazes, filled with awe and fear, furtively stole glances towards a figure above—

The Lord of Flower Fruit Mountain, the Spokesperson of Heaven, Qi Tian!

"This"

Yuanshi, who was on the Chaos Battle Platform of Heavenly Dao not far away, was also stunned.

Seeing Antarctica activate the Heaven-Suppressing Coffin to devour the clouds, his eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

When he bestowed this treasure upon me, he repeatedly instructed me that it should only be used to injure someone in Huaguo Mountain, and never be swallowed by the coffin!

Because he was very clear about the power of the Heaven-Suppressing Coffin.
Those disciples from Huaguo Mountain who entered it would have their true spirits devoured, leaving them no chance of reincarnation.

in fact,

If Antarctica had killed Qi Tian's disciples before Qi Tian became the spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao, he would have been overjoyed.

After all, he and Qi Tian had a deep-seated grudge.

but now.
A sense of unease crept into Yuan Shi's heart.
He subconsciously looked up at Qi Tian above.

He wasn't afraid that Qi Tian would make a move against Antarctica, after all, he was just a disciple. In fact, he was even hoping that Qi Tian would make a move, so that even the Great Dao wouldn't let him off the hook.

Trading the life of a disciple for the life of Qitian is a huge win.

He was afraid that Qi Tian would hold this grudge against him and cause him trouble, since he was no match for Qi Tian at all.

however,
The scene that came into view took him by surprise.

Because Qi Tian showed no sign of thunderous rage whatsoever; instead, a faint, even slightly mocking smile played on his lips!

How is that possible?

Yuanshi thought he was seeing things, and in his surprise, he even made the gesture of a mortal softening his eyes!
The disciple was annihilated, body and soul, yet the master was laughing?
"Is this disciple not a blood relative? Or was Qi Tian's previous protectiveness all an act? Or is he just laughing in anger?"

The final idea came to me.
Yuan Shi felt a chill rush from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. This unusual sight worried him even more than Qi Tian's outburst of rage!

"Damn it! They just keep getting me into trouble!"

Yuan Shi cursed Antarctica in his heart.

However, he was able to remain calm because even if Qi Tian really took his anger out on him and attacked him, he believed that Hongjun would definitely stop him.

"laugh!"

Just as all eyes were focused on Qi Tian.

A barely audible sound of space tearing apart rang out without warning behind the Antarctic Immortal!

A figure suddenly solidified!
"what?"

The Antarctic Immortal, who had been injured by the backlash from fully activating the Heaven-Suppressing Coffin, felt a chill in his heart.

The hair on your hair stands on end!

A sense of crisis, originating from the deepest part of one's soul, suddenly arose.

However, before he could make any defense or dodge, a turbid, dark yellow river of laws directly swept him into it.

In an instant,
The protective divine light vanished instantly!
The protective robes turned to ashes!
The Antarctic Immortal's physical body was directly eroded by the boundless turbid energy, starting from the skin and spreading throughout his entire body at an alarming speed!
Flesh and blood, bones and muscles, internal organs, meridians and ligaments, limbs and bones... inch by inch, they were eroded into nothingness.

"Ugh—!"

A piercing, inhuman scream, filled with endless pain and despair, erupted from the rapidly disintegrating remains.

However, just as the Antarctic Immortal's physical body completely dissipated and his primordial spirit was about to be devoured by the turbid energy!

"Buzz!"

A wondrous feather, flowing with seven-colored light, suddenly emerged from the primordial spirit of the Antarctic Immortal!

It transformed into a magnificent light shield, barely protecting the primordial spirit within!

It is the Seven-Feather Fan, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure of the Antarctic Immortal – automatically protecting its master!
"Zizi"

The turbid river of laws crashed violently against the seven-colored light shield, producing a sound that made one's teeth ache.

The light shield vibrated violently, and the colorful glow faded at a visible speed.

It seemed like it would shatter at any moment.

"Stop! I surrender! I surrender—!"

The spirit of the Antarctic Immortal let out a terrified scream! "Hmph!"

A cold, unwilling snort rang out, the River of Laws trembled slightly, and then vanished into thin air.

The spirit of the Antarctic Immortal finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

Antarctic Immortal's primordial spirit trembled as he glanced at Yunxiao, who had appeared behind him at some unknown time, with a fierce expression and murderous intent in his eyes.

Without saying a word, he put away the Heaven-Suppressing Coffin, transformed into a faint stream of light, and fled in panic toward the Xuanmen camp.

"Yunxiao! She's still alive!"

"I...I didn't see wrong, did I? Wasn't she swallowed by the Heaven-Suppressing Coffin?"

"Yes, it's her!"

"What's going on? That Heaven-Suppressing Coffin clearly swallowed Yunxiao just now; we could even hear the sound of flesh and bone being gnawed at!"

"Could there be two Cloud Sky?"

"."

Shock, confusion, and disbelief emanated from the surrounding spectators.

They just witnessed Yunxiao being swallowed by the Zhentian Coffin and annihilated, so how could he... appear completely unharmed?

And he almost killed the Antarctic Immortal!
Just as the Zhou people below were filled with doubt and speculation, Hongjun above suddenly turned his head:
"Qitian!"

"How dare you bestow a substitute talisman and interfere with a contest witnessed by the Great Dao?"

Hongjun's voice was filled with intense anger.

"Ha~"

Faced with Hongjun's questioning, Qitian scoffed and sneered:

"Interfering in the duel? Hongjun, are you blind? When did I interfere in the duel? Did I use even a trace of magic power? Did I send down a single divine thought? That substitute talisman was bestowed after the battle for the Heavenly Dao's representative. How can you say I interfered? Moreover, if I had interfered, you wouldn't need to question me; the Great Dao would have already punished me!"

Speaking of which,
Qi Tian glanced sideways at Hong Jun and said disdainfully:

"Hongjun! A bet is a bet. How is your slanderous behavior any different from that of a scoundrel in the marketplace?"

"you"

Hongjun's eyes darkened, revealing his anger.

However, there was no way to refute it. The fact that the Great Dao had not made a move meant that Yunxiao's substitute talisman was indeed an old item and not given on the spot.

He could only angrily turn his gaze away and continue looking at the fight below.

"Senior sister, I'm so glad you're alright! We were so scared!"

In the Flower Fruit Mountain camp, Qiongxiao and Bixiao hugged Yunxiao tightly, their eyes filled with joy.

"You're just letting your concern cloud your judgment!"

Yunxiao patted his two junior sisters on the back:

"Have you forgotten the substitute talisman that Master gave us? It could save us from one death!"

Hearing this,

Qiongxiao and Bixiao were stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

The same applies to the others on Flower Fruit Mountain.

This substitute talisman was placed inside their primordial spirits by Qi Tian a long time ago; if Yunxiao hadn't mentioned it, they would have all forgotten about it.

Who's next to take on the challenge?

"I come!"

Qiongxiao's figure flashed, transforming into a stream of light, and instantly appeared on a Heavenly Dao Chaos Battle Platform.

His usual composure vanished, replaced by a chilling gaze as he looked at Guang Chengzi opposite him!

"Qiongxiao of Huaguo Mountain, please enlighten me!"

"Junior Sister Qiongxiao, please."

Guang Chengzi was not angry, but instead bowed with a smile.

"Humph!"

Qiongxiao didn't bother with any nonsense. Antarctica used the Heaven-Suppressing Coffin to ambush her elder sister. Although her elder sister was unharmed, she had no good feelings towards the Xuanmen disciples!
With a flick of her jade hand, a clear, bright moon, radiating endless Yin energy, suddenly appeared in her palm!
The Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure – Taiyin Moon Wheel!
Like Jiang Ling'er's divine jade hairpin, it was obtained by Qi Tian after the fall of Xi He, the Heavenly Queen of the Demon Court.

The moment the moon appeared, the temperature in the entire battle arena area plummeted!
Countless tiny ice crystals silently condensed in the void, and wisps of Yin cold energy spread out, as if to freeze this chaotic space into an eternal ice prison!
"The moon is extinguished, its cold light shines upon all the heavens!"

With a sharp cry, Qiongxiao released the Taiyin Moon Wheel from her hand, which swelled in the wind and instantly transformed into a cold, icy moon with a diameter of a thousand feet!

A radiance so cold and detached, it seemed, could freeze the soul, as it poured down.

Wherever the beam of light passed, the space froze with a crackling sound, as if it could not bear the weight!

The moon wheel itself transformed into a pale, cold light that tore through the void, carrying an absolute chill that could freeze everything, and slashed down towards Guang Chengzi!
Qiongxiao unleashed this attack in a fit of rage, holding nothing back!

Guang Chengzi's pupils suddenly contracted!
The chilling power of the lunar wheel was even more terrifying than he had anticipated!
Not daring to be negligent in the slightest, he quickly formed hand seals: "Heaven and Earth, Mysterious Origin, Root of All Qi! Auspicious Clouds Protect the Body, No Evil Can Invade!"

"Om-!"

A grand, solemn, and seemingly auspicious Daoist sound resounded through the void!

Above Guang Chengzi's head, a vast and boundless cloud of auspicious clouds, swirling with golden lamps, golden lotuses, necklaces, and dangling pearls, suddenly unfolded!

When this cloud appeared...
Adorned with dangling pearls, and adorned with countless golden lamps, the light of the lamps shone brightly, firmly protecting Guang Chengzi within a thousand-foot radius!
The extremely yin and cold radiance of the moon shone upon the auspicious clouds, yet it was as if a clay ox had entered the sea.

It merely stirred up layers of auspicious ripples, emitting a "sizzling" sound of dissolving, but it couldn't penetrate even a fraction of the depth!
The terrifying chill of the frozen space was also firmly kept outside of Qingyun!
"Auspicious Clouds Over All Heavens!"

Qiongxiao's eyes narrowed slightly.

She recognized the treasure; it was the one Yuanshi Tianzun used to sever his corpse, and she never expected it to be bestowed upon Guangchengzi.

This is normal, after all, many powerful beings in the new prehistoric world now follow the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos, and the treasures of severing corpses are no longer as unavailable to disciples or followers as before.

But Bixiao showed no sign of backing down.

His gaze grew even colder, without the slightest pause, his hands forming hand seals like blooming lotus flowers as he fully activated the Taiyin Moon Wheel!

"The moon has fallen and the star has sunk!"

"Frozen for eternity!"

"Taiyin Slaughtering God Light!"

One after another, extremely yin and cold, and incomparably powerful Taiyin divine powers, like a burst dam of an icy river, frantically bombarded the absolute defense formed by the auspicious clouds of the heavens!
Ice crystals shattered, a cold wave raged, golden lotuses swayed, and golden lamps flickered!
The entire battle arena was completely transformed into a frigid wasteland, with violent energy turbulence tearing through space and emitting deafening roars!

however,
No matter how fiercely Qiongxiao attacked, the Heavenly Auspicious Clouds remained as immovable as an ancient rock, completely neutralizing all attacks.

See this scene.

Guang Chengzi, who had initially been somewhat worried, smiled again:

"Junior Sister Qiongxiao, this treasure was bestowed by our master, and its defense is unparalleled. You cannot break through it, so admit defeat."

"Can't it be broken?"

Qiongxiao's eyes turned cold, and she directly summoned the three top-grade innate spiritual treasures bestowed upon her by her master, Qitian.

"burst!"

With a soft shout and a furious yell, the scene of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure self-destructing was reenacted.

Rumble——! ! !
An indescribable destructive energy, accompanied by an extreme chill that freezes the soul, erupted in an instant like the chaotic tide at the beginning of creation!
Space shattered and vanished like fragile glass! A colossal black hole, containing an endless icy blue storm of destruction, instantly engulfed Guang Chengzi.

"Damn it, is this all the people of Flower Fruit Mountain know? And how come they have so many magical treasures?"

Guang Chengzi's composure and smile vanished, replaced by jealousy and resentment.

however,
Although he was filled with envy, he dared not be negligent in the slightest. He poured all his magical power and laws into the auspicious clouds of the heavens, and also poured in some of the merits he had accumulated over countless years.

He had personally witnessed the power of the spirit treasures self-destructing on the battle stage several times before.

It seems that relying solely on the auspicious clouds of the heavens will not be enough to stop it.
