Chapter 206: The End of the Third Life
Yun Ye and the others were merely ordinary beings; they simply could not react in time…
Thus, five of them died. Feeling themselves being controlled, they burned their own Spiritual Roots from the inside out, converting their strength into a barrier to buy time for the others.
The group had no time to mourn their fallen comrades; their focus needed to be on survival!
"Activate the formation!"
Tian Jing swiftly wiped away his tears, raising the formation plate as the pale blue flames spread rapidly.
Nether Fire was the most advantageous weapon against Spirit Sense; once unleashed, it immediately countered some of the effects.
Black cracks spread, engulfing the barrier as it tried to send them into the underworld.
"Foolish."
At an unknown moment, a figure in a daoist robe appeared atop the city wall, while Qi Lian vanished without a trace.
Seeing him, a wave of intense unease surged within everyone. Was it possible that…
The daoist man coldly raised his hand towards the Earthly Evil Underworld Formation and uttered two words:
"Void Seal!"
—Boom!
Numerous black chains erupted from the ground, sealing off all of Baishi Town.
The Earthly Evil Underworld Formation, which should have allowed them to escape to the underworld, flickered for a brief moment but remained rooted in place…
Spatial transfer had failed!
"How could it seal the space so perfectly?"
Even Yun Ye’s expression darkened at this outcome.
The Earthly Evil Underworld Formation was their only hope, a top-tier escape method that could allow them to slip into another space. But if someone could counter it, it would spell great disaster; after defeating the Ji family, they had no further plans!
"It just happens to be suitable? As expected of ordinary beings; controlling spatial sealing is perfectly natural. You mere mortals grasp Space Spiritual Law, which is entirely unreasonable."
"Your soul has great potential; I will take it."
The daoist man, clad in attire that radiated rhythm, spoke while holding an indistinct dao artifact that emitted a sense of satisfaction. With a casual wave of his hand, a beam of black light suddenly struck the Extreme Cold Great Formation.
In that moment, annihilation occurred at an incredible speed.
The power of Spirit Law that far surpassed Ji Chongtian’s struck through the formation, engulfing both individuals.
This time, there was not even a hint of resistance; the two simply turned to dust, as the Spirit Law power in the law realms was potent enough to reduce ordinary beings to invisible fragments.
"Yan Cong!"
"Huo Guang!"
Everyone shouted in disbelief.
This power was purely overwhelming.
With only a dozen or so people left supporting the formation, it could no longer hold against such strength.
This individual was simply unbeatable!
To escape, there was only one possibility.
“…”
Yun Ye gripped the Tomorrow Dao Sword, took a deep breath, and his gray-white hair and pupils transformed into a brilliant blue.
Beside him, Qi Lian stepped out, looking very ethereal, as if even the Dao Artifact wielder of the Luo Dynasty did not notice her presence.
"Have you decided to face death?"
Qi Lian asked.
"Clearly! Obvious!"
Yun Ye raised his sword, and with a roar, his pupils emitted light as he entered the dao artifact’s vision.
"Dual Slice Strike!"
With one swing of his sword, he created a massive crack that shattered the space barrier. The Earthly Evil Underworld Formation, which had been prepared, immediately revealed dark cracks, about to vanish into thin air.
"Cutting through space? Meaningless, stop now."
The daoist man in the robe raised his artifact, emitting a light that countered the power of the Dual Slice Strike.
Artifacts rarely had the ability to interfere with the physical world, but they could influence each other; conflict among artifacts was their fundamental trait.
Thus, the space barrier that Yun Ye had painstakingly broken was quickly filled again, making escape still impossible.
This scene brought an indescribable despair to everyone; even the artifacts were ineffective. What else could they do?
"Moon Ring!"
Yun Ye raised his sword, and the treasured ring around the sword’s hilt instantly drew in a massive amount of spirit energy for his use.
However, this time was different from the past; the vast spirit energy lingered, swirling around the ring as if protecting this treasure.
This was—Killing Formation!
The most unique element of a Killing Formation is using a precious treasure as the focal point, allowing the formation to move while possessing immense destructive power.
Yun Ye had not mastered this technique before; he only just scavenged it and was now using it with difficulty.
This crude Killing Formation was not intended to kill enemies but to gather spirit energy.
Using the Moon Ring as the focal point, the spirit energy collected around it was even more immense than what the entire Earthly Evil Extreme Cold Great Formation had gathered.
Major Achievement Combination Spiritual Law: All Things Silent!
Black and white whipped past as a straight line froze completely. The daoist man furrowed his brow slightly, thinking deeply as he waved his hand to summon energy to counter: "Is there such a powerful Dual Attributes? Has some force intervened?"
"Tomorrow! Forge the rules!"
Yun Ye maintained the All Things Silent during this moment and called for Tomorrow.
Tomorrow appeared, brushed a hand over the dao artifact, and a multitude of echoes emerged, transforming into lines of text.
Yun Ye directly infused five thousand echoes to forge the fourth rule, which had a simple effect: strengthening true name judgment!
The greater the sins of the opponent, the more they stood against the populace, and the stronger the true name became.
With the Dao Rules formed, Yun Ye swung his sword once more.
The obstacles shattered effortlessly, the impact far surpassing before, and even the burden on his body lightened.
The rules did not consume physical strength; they only required triggering conditions, and Yun Ye’s condition involved battling the Spiritual Law family.
“It’s actually a regional Dao Artifact; this harvest far exceeds the past…”
The Dao Artifact wielder of the Luo Dynasty raised his artifact, and countless chains filled the air, with some kind of phantom appearing behind him.
He was borrowing power!
Backed by the Luo Dynasty, as a Dao Artifact wielder, he had an overwhelming advantage, and Yun Ye was still intercepted.
Yun Ye sighed silently; he knew that even if he continued to channel all echoes to strengthen his true name, it would be futile.
The Tomorrow Dao Weapon had only just entered its growth phase, while the opponent had a thousand years of history, having scavenged the echoes of the Luo Dynasty.
This was the gap of foundation; since he hadn’t left in time, the outcome was predetermined.
Tomorrow’s cool voice sounded: "Master, in your current state, you have only one chance to strike, and it requires a sacrifice. Do you wish to wield this sword?"
"Another strike? Fortunately, there’s only one enemy." Yun Ye straightened his back.
Yun Ye lifted his sword, no longer considering escape, as all his life force burned intensely.
He heard two sounds of something shattering within him.
Mortal Realm sacrifice; the energy circulation built by the Walking Law burned, and all life force vanished.
Spiritual Realm sacrifice; the newly born Heavenly Path cracks spread, collapsing after a brief moment of support.
Mastering the source law and opening the Heavenly Path, this was the beginning of the spiritual realm.
In terms of realms, Yun Ye was no longer a mere mortal.
At this moment, he sacrificed it.
He transformed it into fuel to amplify the Tomorrow Dao Sword.
All Things Silent dissipated.
Yun Ye gripped the sword and walked alone towards the daoist man; during this process, his palm had turned to dust, the phenomenon spreading through his arm and torso.
Beside him, Qi Lian watched this scene, contemplating and understanding.
Then she finally made her decision.
With a wave of her hand, Spirit Law spread, enveloping the Earthly Evil Underworld Formation, shrouding everyone in a haze.
"What are you doing?"
"Qi Lian!"
Tian Jing and Tong Huo Yang awakened, only to realize that a judge still stood nearby.
Internal unrest and external threats!
"You are now in absolute peril; only I can take you away," Qi Lian said.
Her Spirit Law Power could isolate the internal from the external; even formations of the same realm could not detect it.
"We don’t need to; we can’t escape, so we’ll die here. Master needs us!"
Tian Jing stated decisively.
Tong Huo Yang remained silent; she noticed that except for the two of them, no one else had noticed this woman.
Was it because they awakened the Dao Artifact?
"To face death together is foolish; it would cost you your most vital member… Without a Dao Artifact wielder, how far can the rest of you go?"
Tian Jing fell silent.
In such a desperate situation, without a Dao Artifact to enhance cohesion and overall strength, there truly seemed to be no hope.
"Leave, gather your strength, and then overthrow the Luo Dynasty; our path cannot end here."
Yun Ye turned his back to the group and spoke; his body was rapidly disintegrating, and time was running out.
So he got to the point: "At this moment, you still have a reason to live, and I will handle the aftermath for you."
"……"
Tian Jing closed his eyes, feeling a sense of helplessness fill his heart; he could only say, "Yes, Master."
Qi Lian’s Spirit Law was fully activated at that moment, and everyone’s figures began to quickly fade away.
She said at the end, "Dao, you indeed have a determination to die; you are not speaking falsehoods. If that’s the case, I am willing to believe in the path of tomorrow once. In this unchanging world, even a slight glimmer of light is joyful."
(Dao, yet another hero has perish…)
Tong Huo Yang sighed in her heart. Before leaving, she took a deep look at Yun Ye, as if to memorize this man entirely; then she turned, her demeanor underwent a dramatic transformation. (From now on, I am… Huo Yang, of the Tomorrow Society.)
Under the influence of Spirit Law, Qi Lian led the Tomorrow Society members away.
This abrupt scene surprisingly did not draw any attention.
The daoist man continued to raise his Dao Artifact, preparing to suppress Yun Ye.
"Qi Lian…"
"Truly extraordinary, isn’t it?"
Yun Ye sensed from the beginning that Qi Lian did not fit in with the environment of Baishi Town.
It seemed Qi Lian was a character similar to a sweeping monk, extraordinary yet dormant.
No more words could be wasted.
Yun Ye swung his last sword, severing the causal line of the Tomorrow Society’s departure and extending to the daoist man before him.
Boom!
The cracks spread across the Dao Artifact, entering a damaged state, but it ultimately did not shatter, falling back into the daoist man’s hands.
Yun Ye gently shook his head, his body completely turning to ashes, leaving no trace behind.
"The Dao Artifact… returns to the heavens?"
The daoist man looked at the cracks spreading across his artifact, then glanced at the spot where Yun Ye had turned to ash.
No Dao Artifact had appeared.
When a Dao Artifact returns to the heavens, it disassembles and returns to the skies; the echoes would permanently vanish.
Such a situation was rare within the same system, but common between systems with significant strength differences.
Since he did not seize the Dao Artifact in time, this occurrence was only reasonable.
“Spirit Law deduction.”
The daoist man, expressionless and unmoved, began to deduce, “Are most of those who know the new Dao here? The rest are sheltered, unable to be traced…”
“Then, annihilate.”
Baishi Town was instantly erased, everything vanished.
The weakness of the path of tomorrow is a crime; countless corpses stacked high may lead to victory.
These people of Baishi Town died because of Yun Ye.
This was the sin Yun Ye would inevitably bear.
A beam of light descended.
The daoist man vanished under the cover.
In the end, he looked coldly at the land and murmured, “I hope next time, it won’t be me who has to deal with this trouble… the new Dao, how long will it survive this time?”
