Swing the sword at the future female devil

Chapter 472 A Gathering of Talented Individuals!

"Hmph, I'm too lazy to waste any more words with you!" Taiqing's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light, and she stopped talking. She instantly withdrew the finger that had been resting on Qin Shuangjiang's brow, and with her fingers forming a sword-like shape, she slashed through the air in the direction of Duan Huaige and the other two!
A terrifying beam of light, seemingly capable of cleaving through space and annihilating all things, appeared out of nowhere! Wherever the light passed, even the chaotic spiritual energy was devoured, leaving behind only a void trail! This strike contained the Taiqing Destruction Origin and the pure Dao power of the adult Zhang Zhiyao, its power far exceeding that of the previous strikes, enough to instantly severely injure or even kill all living beings!
"Watch out!" Duan Huaige's pupils constricted sharply, an unprecedented sense of crisis engulfing him! Without hesitation, he frantically urged his mind on!
The transformed landscape scroll instantly unfolded before him! A truly manifested and incredibly stable projection of a small world appeared before him! Illusory images of mountains and rivers flowed and swirled, and the dragon energy of the earth's veins surged and roared! The scroll erupted with a dazzling dark golden divine light, and the spatial barriers solidified into a tangible substance!

Boom!

The dark gray sword light slashed fiercely at the projection of the Mountain and River Map! A terrifying annihilation force surged forth! Space trembled violently, and the illusory image of the Mountain and River Map flickered! Duan Huaige was struck as if by a heavy blow, letting out a muffled groan, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, but the projection of the Mountain and River Map stubbornly withstood this fatal blow and did not shatter!

"Huh?!" For the first time, obvious surprise appeared in Taiqing's eyes. "The Mountain and River Map?! You...you actually obtained the original inheritance from that stone tablet?! And even integrated it into this map?!" She instantly understood the reason for Duan Huaige's sudden increase in strength, and felt even more threatened! This Mountain and River Map has integrated the foundation of the original Mountain and River Dao lineage, and its stability and potential far exceeded her expectations!
"What a pity! You got it too late!" Taiqing's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and she held back no longer! With a flick of her wrist, a fragment that was neither gold nor jade, depicting a scene of shattered mountains and rivers, appeared in her palm—it was the fragment of the "Map of the Land and its People" that she had obtained from the Zen sect!
"The Map of the State, appear!" she shouted, and the fragment shone brightly! A vast spatial power, imbued with a cold, predatory will, erupted, transforming into a shattered phantom of mountains and rivers shrouded in blood-red aura, which fiercely suppressed Duan Huaige's Map of Mountains and Rivers! The two treasure fragments, of the same origin but different paths, collided with a deafening roar!
A terrifying shockwave swept in all directions! Yan Qiuxi and Jiang Xiyu were forced to retreat repeatedly, their blood surging! Duan Huaige was under even greater pressure, the projection of the Mountain and River Map trembled violently, and its light quickly dimmed! Taiqing's words were indeed correct; the original Mountain and River Daoist inheritance that Duan Huaige obtained was indeed powerful, but he obtained it too late.

If one had possessed this inheritance from the beginning... the outcome of one's cultivation to this point might have been different!

"Die!" A fierce glint flashed in Taiqing's eyes as he manipulated the phantom of the Blood Mountain of Killing Qi, ready to completely crush Duan Huaige's defenses!

"Xiao Duan!"

"Huai Ge!"

At the critical moment! The ancient bronze mirror in Yan Qiuxi's arms, obtained from the Mortal Realm—the "Mortal Realm Mirror"—suddenly burst forth with an unprecedentedly soft light! On the mirror's surface, images of the vast mortal world and the myriad aspects of life flowed rapidly! At the same time, Duan Huaige's Mirror of All Living Beings also flew out, merging into one!

Within the landscape painting, the phantom of the Karma Wheel automatically appears, its light reflecting off the radiance of the Mirror of Mortal Life!

"The mortal world is the guide, all living beings are the witness! Tracing the cycle of karma... my future self... is here!"

A clear, weary yet resolute female voice seemed to transcend time and space, resounding simultaneously in the hearts of Yan Qiuxi and Duan Huaige! This was the contingency plan that Yan Qiuxi left in the Mirror of All Beings and the Wheel of Karma in the future. It was automatically triggered the moment she sensed that Yan Qiuxi's true form had fallen into absolute despair and that Taiqing was fully activating the power of cause and effect!
A dazzling light of cause and effect erupted from the Mirror of All Beings and the Wheel of Karma, instantly enveloping Yan Qiuxi! Her figure blurred in the light, and a more mature figure, with a more powerful aura and eyes that contained the feeling that everything was under control, gathered and manifested around her like ripples on water—it was the projection of the future Yan Qiuxi!
"Me too! Don't leave me out!" Jiang Xiyu jumped up and down in a panic when she saw this, shouting at the light of the Karma Wheel, "Pull my main account over here too! I'll beat that bastard Taiqing to a pulp!"

How could Yan Qiuxi be allowed to pull off this whole act all by herself!
As if in response to her call, the light of the Karma Wheel trembled slightly, splitting off a ray that swept over Jiang Xiyu! Beside her, a figure quickly materialized—the projection of the witch Jiang Xiyu, with her red dress fluttering, her long hair as black as ink, her eyes looking down coldly, and exuding an aura of destruction and annihilation, also descended!
"Hmph! Finally, something decent has appeared!" As soon as the projection of the witch Jiang Xiyu appeared, she coldly stared at Taiqing's body, and a demonic banner wrapped in ominous black flames instantly materialized in her hand. Yan Qiuxi glanced at Duan Huaige, who was struggling to hold on, with complicated emotions, and then her gaze icyly locked onto Taiqing: "Taiqing, your schemes end here!"

Two futuristic projections descended, their aura shaking the heavens and earth! The situation instantly reversed!

Taiqing's expression finally changed, and the scarlet light in her eyes flickered violently. She hadn't expected that Yan Qiuxi would have left behind such a contingency plan, able to forcibly project using the treasure of causality!

Although it was just a projection and its power was not as great as the real body, it was enough to pose a huge threat to her and disrupt her plan to kill Duan Huaige instantly!

"Fine! Very well!" Taiqing laughed in fury, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes. "But do you think... this will stop me?!"

She abruptly abandoned her attack on Duan Huaige, her figure appearing instantly at the core of the altar like a ghost! She formed hand seals, and the fragment of the Sheji Tu obtained from Zen Buddhism burst forth with dazzling blood-red light. At the same time, she grabbed fiercely towards the direction of Duan Huaige's landscape map!
"Shenmu! Come!"

A terrifying suction force instantly enveloped Duan Huaige's Landscape Scroll! The scroll trembled violently, and a rift was forcibly torn open in space! The grass that was stabilizing the space within the scroll and emitting a gray-green light was forcibly pulled out by this force!

Duan Huaige tried to stop him, but was forced back by the destructive palm print unleashed by Taiqing's other hand!

Om-! ! !
Taiqing seized the Tree of Life and, without hesitation, plunged this divine tree, which contained the essence of life and death, into the pulsating dark red vortex at the very center of the Guixu Altar!
"The divine tree is the guide! Kunlun is the source! Heavenly Road... open for me!!!"

Rumble, rumble—! ! !
The entire Kunlun Ruins erupted in a frenzy at this moment! Indescribably violent spiritual energy burst forth from the center of the altar! A blinding dark red pillar of light tore through the distorted space, shooting straight towards the chaotic heavens above! Fluctuations connecting to a distant otherworldly passage spread wildly!
Deep within the Kunlun Ruins, countless pairs of blood-red Nightmare Eyes suddenly opened! They emitted deafening shrieks filled with destructive desire!

They no longer lay dormant! Like a swarm of sharks that have smelled blood, they charged madly toward the weak spatial nodes leading to the other world! They wanted to devour! To destroy! To completely drain the world's newly revived spiritual energy!
