I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 690 Confrontation (please vote)

Outside the crystal wall, the atmosphere was heavy.

Zhao Cangyun was suppressed against the dark red flesh wall by the remnant spirit of Xuanwu, his veins bulging and blood still wet at the corner of his mouth.

"Old tortoise! ​​Come at me if you have a problem—"

His eyes were bloodshot, and he could do nothing but writhe in impotent rage.

Hua Luosha stood before the crystal wall, her face ashen, her fingertips already digging into her palms, oblivious to the blood seeping out.

Shen Puning's shoulders trembled slightly, her nose tingled and her voice choked with emotion, "Ayi..."

Shang Shixu frowned. He was usually calm, but at this moment his emotions were churning. He admired Jiang Yi, but he also felt sorry for her.

Mo Ling and Yan Kongqing stood side by side, looking at the somewhat deranged Bai Shengjie with complicated expressions.

Bai Shengjie also admired Jiang Yi. He had always known that only Jiang Yi could bring others to safety, just as Jiang Yi could bring them in safely and arrive here safely.

He was just a healer with little combat ability, so he was the best choice to resolve the tribulation. But why did things turn out this way? Bai Shengjie knew that the remnant spirit of Xuanwu must have done something, but what could he do?
The cave was deathly silent, with only the flickering blue flames within the crystal walls casting shimmering light and shadow on everyone's faces.

After an unknown amount of time, a cracking sound, like a thunderclap, rang out.

Click!

The crystal wall suddenly shattered, and spiderweb-like cracks spread rapidly. Then, a powerful force swept out like a tidal wave, and everyone was blown away as if hit by a heavy hammer.

The oppressive force on Zhao Cangyun suddenly disappeared, but he was still overturned by the shockwave and slammed heavily ten feet away.

Hua Luosha spun around to deflect the force, but her robes were torn in several places.

The cave trembled violently, and the clusters of deep blue crystals embedded in the walls and dome shattered, turning into a sky full of fire that rushed towards the depths of the crystal heart, like rivers flowing into the sea.

A rumbling roar also came from outside the passage. The giant fire beasts that had been roaming around were all destroyed and transformed into a torrent of blue flames that broke through the rock walls and rushed into the cave.

A fierce wind whipped up blazing flames, turning the entire space into a purgatory of blue flame storms. Rocks and sparks flew everywhere. People covered their faces with their arms, barely managed to get up, and staggered backward in the scorching heat.

Through the churning blue flames, they saw countless streams of fire intertwining and coalescing in mid-air, gradually outlining the majestic silhouette of a tortoise and snake entwined.

Its head resembles a black tortoise, its body a giant snake, and its scales are ferocious; it is the true form of the Black Tortoise.

Its phantom reached the sky and stood tall, emanating a pressure that made everyone's souls tremble. But in an instant, the fiery Xuanwu let out a mournful cry that pierced the heavens and the earth, and its huge body suddenly collapsed inward.

All the blue flames frantically converged and poured into Jiang Yi's body, who was sitting cross-legged in the center.

Zhao Cangyun and Hua Luosha rushed forward and saw that Jiang Yi's eyes were closed and a fist-sized Yang God was hanging above her head, just like she was when she was a child.

The once golden Yang God has now completely transformed into a dark blue, with tortoise-shell-like patterns appearing on its surface, while a cluster of even deeper dark blue flames burns quietly at its heart.

At the same time, the dark red flesh-and-blood walls surrounding the cave dried up and turned to ash at a visible speed, scattering like ashes from burnt paper. The ground beneath their feet cracked, the entire space began to distort and tremble, and the spiritual energy rapidly dissipated.

"The aura of Xuanwu... has vanished!"

Shang Shixu was speechless; the oppressive aura that had once suppressed them had vanished.

"Jiang Yi!"

Hua Luosha was the first to break through the remaining energy turbulence and rush to Jiang Yi's side. Zhao Cangyun and Shen Puning followed closely behind, and the three of them surrounded her, their voices trembling.

"Ayi, wake up!"

"Sister!"

Just then, the Azure Sun God suddenly disappeared into the top of Jiang Yi's head. Her eyelashes trembled, and she abruptly opened her eyes.

His eyes shimmered with blue light, like a deep, cold pool, and his body exuded a powerful aura that was indistinguishable from the remnant spirit of Xuanwu.

Hua Luosha suddenly felt a tremor in her heart and subconsciously blocked Shen Puning and Zhao Cangyun with her arms. She stared intently into Jiang Yi's eyes until they gradually revealed Jiang Yi's own unique spirit. Only then did Hua Luosha breathe a sigh of relief.

"What did the remnant spirit of Xuanwu do to you?" Hua Luosha asked urgently.

Jiang Yi grabbed Hua Luosha's outstretched hand, used it to stand up, and scanned the cave, which was collapsing even more rapidly, her voice resolute.

"There's no time to go into details. This place is about to be destroyed. We must prepare ourselves to fight the Nine Emperors' Evil Bodies to the death!" The moment Jiang Yi finished speaking, the entire cave shook violently. The dark red flesh and blood barrier peeled off piece by piece like ashes, and the huge crystal pillar supporting the dome groaned under the weight and crashed down with a bang.

"Everyone come here!"

Jiang Yi's eyes shone with a bright blue light, and the vast aura belonging to Xuanwu was no longer restrained, but burst forth with a roar.

In the blink of an eye, the flames transformed into a crystal-clear wall, like a giant eggshell, which swiftly and completely enveloped Jiang Yi and the people who had gathered around.

The next moment, outside the giant crystal cocoon, space seemed to be completely crushed by an invisible giant hand, and everything was annihilated in an instant, returning to utter nothingness.

The power of annihilation crashed against the crystal barrier, producing a teeth-grinding squeezing and grinding sound, and the eerie blue light flickered violently, as if it might shatter at any moment.

Inside the crystal cocoon, everyone felt dizzy, as if they were being swept into a vortex, and their ears were filled with the deafening roar of space shattering, shaking their very souls.

Fortunately, this state did not last long, and they landed smoothly. The voices of the Nine Emperors came faintly from a very distant place above their heads.

……

"...Stop arguing. The only thing we can do now is wait for the great formation to be activated and suppress the power of Xuanwu before we can go down and find them."

This is the voice of the Qin Emperor, which Jiang Yi is very familiar with.

Emperor Fu's voice followed, "I'm going out to check the stars, just in case something changes."

"Hmph, that's all we can do."

At the edge of the abyss, in the consciousness of the Nine Emperors, only a moment had passed since Jiang Yi and the others jumped into the abyss together.

Just then, Yan Di, who had been silently observing the edge of the abyss, suddenly narrowed his eyes and exclaimed, "Wait! Look at this fire, it's actually extinguishing itself!"

Everyone was startled and immediately looked in the direction of the sound.

The once-boiling, eerie blue flames began to dim and shrink rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few breaths, only charred rocks remained at the edge of the abyss, and the bottom of the abyss was plunged into a deathly darkness, with no trace of the eerie blue light visible anymore.

"The aura of Xuanwu... is almost undetectable!"

Emperor Fu's face was gloomy, and his powerful divine sense probed downwards, which the other emperors followed suit.

The Demon Emperor was overjoyed. "The lingering resentment of Xuanwu has dissipated on its own? Does that mean we can leave the Nine Provinces without any hindrance?"

No one paid any attention to the Demon Emperor; they were all carefully exploring the depths of the abyss.

"The aura of Xuanwu... has indeed disappeared!"

Even the usually indifferent Qingdi showed disbelief and astonishment.

"What did they do down there?!" Emperor Fu was filled with doubt and even a hint of barely perceptible fear.

Kun Di Fangyi also sensed something was wrong, giving her a very bad feeling. "I'll go down and take a look."

Just then, a violent blue fireball suddenly shot up from the bottom of the silent abyss. Its speed and power were so great that even the nine emperors at the edge of the abyss felt a chill in their hearts!
"retreat!"

The nine emperors reacted extremely quickly, retreating dozens of feet backward, instantly unleashing various defensive spells to form solid barriers.

The azure fireball did not pursue, but instead exploded with a bang a hundred feet above the abyss!

The pale blue light spilled like mercury, illuminating the nine emperors' bewildered faces with a deep blue glow.

At the center of the light, eight figures solidified amidst the dissipating blue flames.

The person in the lead was Jiang Yi.

She stood in mid-air, the eerie blue flames around her not yet completely extinguished, flickering quietly at the edges of her robes and the tips of her hair. Her clear eyes calmly looked down at the nine emperors below, who seemed to be facing a formidable enemy.

Behind her stood Hua Luosha, Zhao Cangyun, Shen Puning, Shang Shixu, Bai Shengjie, Mo Ling, and Yan Kongqing. Although their breathing was slightly disordered and their robes were torn, their eyes were sharp as knives and their fighting spirit was high. There was no trace of the despair and repression they had felt before.

Above the abyss, the air seemed to freeze.

A murderous intent was brewing silently!
