The Heavens: One World, One Superpower

No sooner had he finished speaking than four beams of divine light flew in.

One of them was a flying sword.

One of them was a long spear.

One of them is a bone flute.

One of them is a skull.

Ji Ziyue tossed out a handkerchief, which she used to block the four weapons in mid-air. "I kindly showed you the way, why did you attack me?"

With a sinister grin, Da Long produced a jade plate with a red pointer pointing directly at Ji Ziyue. "We found you a long time ago, you silly girl."

Ji Ziyue's face flushed red and then turned pale. She pointed at the handkerchief with two fingers, continuously channeling her divine power into it. "Su Chen, you must leave. I've dragged you into this."

Sanlong's eyes lit up as he said, "Where are you going? We're going to consummate our marriage tonight, little beauty. Big brother, second sister, fourth sister, you hold on for a bit, I'm going to take care of the boy next to her."

Si Long said, "Third Brother, I'll go instead. This kid is even more handsome than the pretty boy I keep. I'm going to capture him alive and make him my male concubine."

Upon seeing Si Long's face, Su Chen couldn't help but let out a cry. Enraged, Si Long immediately activated the skull in mid-air, launching it at Su Chen.

The skull emitted black energy, its eyes glowed red, and it spat out a mouthful of black flames at Su Chen, causing the air to vibrate.

Su Chen didn't have a suitable weapon. Taking the Devouring Demon Jar would probably scare the four dragons to death, and the Four Swords of Immortal Slaughtering were also inappropriate. Quasi-Emperor weapons, Saint weapons, and Dao artifacts were also unsuitable, so he had no choice but to take out a jade pendant-shaped treasure.

The jade pendant emitted an icy aura, which Su Chen tossed out, blocking the black flames in mid-air. He channeled his divine power, controlling it only within the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm; if he were to use the divine power of a fourth-level secret realm, he feared he would kill the four dragons on the spot.

Si Long laughed, "A mere cultivator at the Sea of ​​Wheels has received a precious artifact; it's like a treasure delivered right to our doorstep."

Sanlong laughed and said, "If Fourth Sister hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed either. This kid is actually holding a treasure. And Little Beauty's handkerchief also seems to be a treasure. It's our destiny to make a fortune."

The aura of the first, second, third, and fourth dragons suddenly increased, and the combined divine light they unleashed actually reached the level of the second level of the Dao Palace.

Su Chen and Ji Ziyue were blasted away.

The handkerchief and jade pendant fell to the ground from mid-air, and Da Long casually picked them up with a wave of his hand.

Su Chen and Ji Ziyue crashed through the wall and flew backwards to the outside of the main hall, where there was a small square.

Big Dragon, Second Dragon, Third Dragon, and Fourth Dragon followed closely behind, continuing to pursue and kill the two with their weapons.

Ji Ziyue gritted her teeth and threw out another Xuan Turtle Armor, deflecting the four men's weapons. Immediately afterward, she activated a gleaming flying sword and charged towards the four men.

Sanlong took out a large axe and cleaved at the flying sword. The axe was powerful and each move was filled with strong divine light, repeatedly knocking the flying sword away.

Ji Ziyue was taken aback. "I underestimated the power of the cultivators from the Dao Palace Secret Realm."

Sanlong laughed, "Little beauty, Grandpa will show you the true power of the Dao Palace Secret Realm." A divine light flew out from his body, transforming into a blue spirit body, which was his Dao Palace deity.

The three dragons and their deities attacked.

Da Long took out an array plate and activated the array on Four Dragons Mountain, sealing the area tightly. He laughed and said, "You've chosen the path to hell when there's a way to heaven. Once the array is activated, you won't be able to escape."

Ji Ziyue said, "Don't be arrogant, the outcome is still uncertain." She made a hand seal, and a huge black palm appeared in the sky. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth quickly poured into the palm and slammed down heavily on the three dragons.

Sanlong was caught off guard and was slapped to the ground.

The deity was shattered, and Sanlong coughed up blood. If he hadn't activated his weapon to protect himself at the crucial moment and blocked most of the attacks, he would probably have died as well.

The three dragons, Da Long, Er Long, and Si Long, were shocked and rushed to San Long's side, protecting him behind them.

At this moment, Ji Ziyue was pale and swaying, and Su Chen caught her around the waist. "You look terrible."

Ji Ziyue said, "I'm sorry, but don't worry, they definitely won't be able to escape once I use the Void Mirror projection. It's just that I've failed this trial."

Su Chen said, "No need for that, leave the rest to me."

The two dragons, the first dragon, and the second dragon were all afraid of Ji Ziyue's secret techniques and dared not make any rash moves.

Su Chen said, "Since the four of you already guessed that she was from the Ji family, why did you still commit evil deeds?"

Da Long said, "I have been entrusted with a task, and I will do my best to fulfill it, even if it means my death."

Su Chen said, "So he's just a reckless man."

He embraced Ji Ziyue, then transformed into a streak of light and fled far away.

The dragon was furious and said, "Chase!"

Only Sanlong was left behind. He swallowed the pill and was unable to move, watching helplessly as Dalong, Erlong, and Silong chased after him.

Su Chen, carrying Ji Ziyue, rushed to the herb garden, slipped through the gap in the formation, and transformed into a gust of wind to escape quickly.

Ji Ziyue exclaimed in surprise, "What kind of secret technique do you use to run so fast?"

Su Chen's lips curled up slightly as he said, "This is one of the Nine Secrets, the Secret of the Character '行' (Xing). Want to learn it? I'll teach you."

Ji Ziyue's mouth was agape in astonishment. She exclaimed, "You not only have the secret of numbers, but you also have the secret of movement! You've actually obtained two of the nine secrets of the world!"

Su Chen said, "That's not all. I also have the Secret of the First Character and the Secret of Combining Characters. The golden paper talisman I drew at the inn was based on my understanding of the Secret of the First Character."

Ji Ziyue asked, "Heavens, who exactly are you?"

Su Chen said, "Don't you already know? My name is Su Chen."

Ji Ziyue rolled her eyes at Su Chen and said, "Forget it, I don't think I'll get any answers from you."

Su Chen immediately created a clone, while he himself carried Ji Ziyue and quickly left.

The younger version of Su Chen was also older than his current twelve or thirteen-year-old appearance, hovering in mid-air, waiting for the person chasing him.

After waiting for a few minutes, we saw Da Long, Er Long, and Si Long chasing after us.

The young man's clone shook his head and said, "You guys are too slow."

Da Long frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

The young man's clone smiled faintly and said, "I am the person from earlier."

Da Long was shocked and said, "How is that possible? One of you is a child, and the other is already twenty-five or twenty-six years old."

The young man's clone said, "Nothing is impossible. Now I'll ask you a question: Who hired someone to commit the murder?"

Da Long said, "What's it to you?"

He immediately activated his flying sword and attacked the youth's clone.

Erlong also activated the bone flute, producing a clear and melodious tune with a bewitching effect on the soul, which was quite extraordinary.

The four dragons activated the skull, unleashing the same old attack of spewing black flames.

The young man's clone smiled slightly, made a hand seal, and a phantom image of a Devouring Demon Jar appeared in the sky, absorbing the three weapons into the jar.

The three tried to struggle, but found that the suction force was so strong that they couldn't resist it at all.

His eyes widened in shock and terror. He tried to fly away, but the nine chains of divine order pierced his body, absorbing all the essence of his life.

Even his soul was sucked into the Devouring Demon Jar.

The young man's clone examined the memories of the soul and discovered that the four people were bribed by a person dressed in black robes. No other information was revealed, only a jade talisman was left behind. As long as Ji Ziyue was killed and the jade talisman was broken, the talisman would appear.

The entire process concealed the face and body, and the black robe seemed to be able to resist prying eyes, so that no information was leaked.

The young man's clone now held a jade talisman. "Leaving behind the jade talisman means leaving behind a weakness."

On Silong Mountain.

The three dragons sat cross-legged in the room, channeling their divine power to the damaged parts of their bodies, gradually expelling the divine power Su Chen had injected into them. As Su Chen's divine power was expelled from his body, it shot rapidly into the stone wall of the room, creating deep craters on it.

Sanlong frowned slightly. The more divine power he expelled, the faster his body recovered, but a gloom seemed to hang over his heart.

"What happened? My eye keeps twitching."

Suddenly, the door burst open, and a young man appeared.

With a wave of his hand, Sanlong produced a long spear that emitted a white divine light. "Who goes there?"

The youth's clone waved his hand, and a black chain of divine order pierced towards the three dragons.

The three dragons wielded their spears and smashed the chains of order.

The chains of order pierced the three dragons from below.

With a swift somersault, the three dragons unleashed an astonishing white divine light from their spears, which then slammed into the chains of order once more.

The chains of order pierced the void, the spear missed its target, and when it reappeared, it was already in front of the three dragons' chests.

The three dragons were shocked and activated their protective armor.

The Chain of Order pierced the protective armor, tearing a hole in it like tofu. The chain then penetrated the three dragons' bodies, devouring their divine power and the essence of their flesh and blood.

Sanlong convulsed and loosened his grip on the spear.

The spear landed with a clattering sound, its divine light fading, leaving it ordinary.

The three dragons looked at the youthful clone and, with their last ounce of strength, asked, "Who are you?"

The youth's clone did not reply, and soon, the three dragons were completely absorbed by the Order God Chain.

He retrieved the Chain of Order, and a crystal-clear bead of essence appeared in his hand.

This is a bead of essence from the first level of the Three Dragons Dao Palace, comparable to a divine source of the same size.

If it's sold, it can be exchanged for a precious artifact.

The young man's clone took out the jade pendant and gently touched it with his fingertip. Each time he touched it, a crack appeared on the jade pendant. After three touches, the jade pendant shattered completely, and a red light flashed and disappeared.

After waiting for an hour, a stream of light fell onto Silongshan Square.

This person was dressed in a black robe, completely concealing himself. The black robe emitted a black aura that could prevent divine sense from detecting him.

Due to the fight, part of the main hall in front was broken through, and the ground was covered with broken wood chips.

Furthermore, Ji Ziyue used the Void Handprint, shattering a section of the plaza's surface.

This person saw all of this clearly at a glance. He probed the main hall with his divine sense and saw the young man's clone slowly drinking tea.

He was taken aback and asked in a voice that was neither male nor female, "Where are the Four Dragons? And who are you?"

The young man set down his teacup and said, "Now that you're here, young lady, why don't you come in and have some tea?"

The woman asked, "Can you see through my precious robe?"

The young man's clone said, "I can't see through it, but I can smell it."

The moment this woman appeared, a floral fragrance filled the air. If this person wasn't a perverted man, then it was a woman, the latter being more likely.

The woman sniffed herself and said, "Why can't I smell it myself?"

The young man's alter ego said, "When you enter a room filled with orchids, you stop smelling their fragrance after a while. When you enter a fish market, you stop smelling the stench after a while. It's normal that you can't smell it yourself, and some women will spray increasingly stronger perfume on themselves for the same reason."

The woman smiled and said, "You seem to know women quite well." Her voice was clear, melodious, and pleasant to the ear; she was indeed a woman.

She walked into the main hall, which was in complete disarray, but there were still a few tables and chairs.

The young man on the table had brewed a fresh cup of tea.

The aroma of tea filled the air, and the tea was clear and refreshing. This was a spiritual tea that he had specially purchased. Although drinking it would not help his cultivation, it could soothe his mind and cultivate his character.

The young man's clone poured a cup of tea and used his divine power to control the cup to deliver it to the woman.

The woman didn't drink, and said, "You've already killed the Four Dragons?"

The young man's clone said, "Not bad."

The woman asked, "Why did you lead me here?"

The young man's clone said, "I want to see who hired someone to assassinate Ji Ziyue."

The woman sneered, "How come I've never heard of Ji Ziyue having a lover like you?"

The young man's clone said, "Don't be angry, let's talk this out. You're a member of the Ji family, and you have protectors by your side, so your status must be quite high. But Ji Ziyue also has protectors by her side. You hired someone to kill her; aren't you afraid that her protectors will come after you?"

The woman laughed and said, "You don't understand. The Ji family is an ancient clan, incredibly powerful, and naturally has its own mechanisms for operation. We are all disciples undergoing trials. In this process, life and death are preordained, and only the final victor can enjoy the family's preferential treatment in terms of resources. It's wrong for outsiders to kill her, but it's perfectly reasonable for me to kill her. Similarly, it's perfectly reasonable for her to kill me."

The young man's clone nodded and said, "So you were raising Gu worms."

The woman said, "That's right, 'raising Gu' is a good description. That silly girl Ziyue is kind-hearted. Even though she guessed that I was targeting her, she was unwilling to use any tricks against me. She only wanted to improve her cultivation and defeat me fair and square. But this is only one path within the rules. Within the rules, there are many other paths that can be taken."

The young man's clone said, "I understand, you can leave now."

The woman said, "You lured me here just to find out this?"

The young man's clone said, "Not bad."

Suddenly, a flash of sword light appeared.

The young man leaned back, and a long red sword slashed across his nose.

The woman turned her sword around and slashed at the young man's clone.

The young man's clone flipped over and quickly left the main hall, arriving at the square.

The sword energy stretched for three hundred meters, cleaving a transparent hole in the entire west side of the main hall.

The main hall began to shake and collapsed.

The woman had already charged in front of the young man's clone with her sword.

"Do you think you can just summon me and dismiss me at will?"

In an instant, hundreds of sword lights slashed towards the youth's clone.

The youth's clone suddenly wielded a long spear, the very weapon of the Three Dragons, which emitted an astonishing divine light, accompanied by a continuous clanging sound.

The spear and the flying sword clashed for over a hundred moves.

The woman leaped backward, forming a hand seal in mid-air.

Suddenly, a gigantic black hand appeared in the sky, radiating boundless power, with an oppressive aura like that of the Five Sacred Mountains.

As soon as the handprint was made, cracks appeared in the surrounding space.

The space became so confined that it was impossible to move an inch; the power of space could tear apart anything.

Su Chen laughed and said, "If you use the Great Handprint, I'll use the Great Handprint too."

He immediately made a handprint as well.

A large, dark handprint also appeared in the sky.

Unlike the Void Great Handprint, this handprint has the feeling of devouring everything. A large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth surges into it, and even the power of the Void Great Handprint to tear through the void is devoured by it.

The two handprints collided in mid-air.

A ripple of energy erupted.

It actually tore a crack in Four Dragons Mountain.

The youth's clone shattered the woman's void handprint and then pressed down hard.

The woman looked terrified, took out a bronze mirror from her person, and threw it out.

The bronze mirror rapidly enlarged, emitting the laws of the void, blocking the enormous black handprint.

But the next second, the bronze mirror made a cracking sound and began to shatter inch by inch.

The handprint continued to press down.

The woman cried out in alarm, "Grand Aunt Ji Hui, save me!"
