Chapter 14: One Single Sword Chills the World! (1)
The rain had stopped in the sky where Ruomu stood.
Only a few wisps of mist remained near the cliff, wrapping the newly emerged land, resembling a mysterious and unpredictable immortal mountain off the shore.
When Bai Lian slowly drew the Dirt Free Sword out of emptiness, everything changed.
At first, the sky—once filled with drifting white clouds—began to shift.
Then, there was a thunderbolt.
Boom!
In the blink of an eye, countless white water droplets sprayed out.
Under the suddenly gloomy sky, all the people standing there were splashed with lukewarm water.
“…”
The former Saintess of Yaochi Holy Mountain gently wiped the water drops from her cheeks with the sleeve of her dress.
She faintly sensed that the temperature in the droplets was similar to that of Bai Lian’s body.
How heartwarming.
With her cultivation, she could have easily dodged the droplets, but her attention was entirely captivated by Bai Lian, who had suddenly appeared and undergone a drastic transformation.
In her memory, Bai Lian was still the girl who had shown great magnanimity while dueling with Nishang on the snow peak of Heluo Country.
Now, the Bai Lian before her was entirely different.
Bai Lian stood above the heavens.
She shouted, “Sword!”
With the command, not only did the cold-forged blade appear, but Bai Lian’s long hair and eyebrows also began to turn white.
Now.
The silver-haired, silver-eyed girl walked into the spring with a chill of rejection that could be felt from miles away.
Her beauty was awe-inspiring.
At first glance, she seemed distant, as though touching her would freeze you into an ice cube.
“Is this her power?”
The former Saintess, Ying Shi, murmured.
That’s truly powerful!
She didn’t believe she could withstand Bai Lian’s power, not even for a moment.
She was truly worthy of being the reincarnated Immortal Emperor.
Ying Shi’s gaze fell on the sword handle Bai Lian held.
What is Frost Blade?
This is Frost Blade!
A mere hint of sword Qi dispersed, and the water droplets in the sky solidified into ice beads, swirling wildly like a storm.
At a single thought, the heavens and earth changed.
The Transmigration Stage!
Only those who have gone through the Guafeng Disaster and gained insight into the Great Tao could exude such majesty!
“Those rumors are true.”
Shocked, Ying Shi was even more puzzled about Bai Lian’s intentions.
Ying Shi looked around.
She glanced at Xia Qingqing, cloaked in green.
A 20-year-old girl who didn’t wear socks or shoes didn’t seem like someone worth paying much attention to.
Finally, she turned her attention to Ruomu behind Bai Lian.
Ancient texts barely mentioned Ruomu, only calling it the Sacred Tree.
Even with her vast knowledge, Ying Shi wasn’t sure if this was really Ruomu.
However, her confusion didn’t last for long.
“Ruomu, haha!”
Laughter echoed from the back of the crowd.
The crowd hurriedly turned around.
The sea was stormy.
A moment later, as if a sword had fallen, the sea was split into two halves.
A massive blue-black sea monster, surrounded by fierce winds, rose from the water.
The creature had scales, claws, four fins on its back, a long, forked tail, and resembled a trident.
But what was most terrifying were its long, sharp-toothed jaws.
The sea monster spoke in human language.
It didn’t attack the cultivators who were exploring the ruins.
Instead, it passed by, and its immense presence forced those nearby to retreat.
“What kind of monster is this?”
Ying Shi clenched her teeth.
She had never seen such a demonic beast, and its strength was even more terrifying.
The Transmigration Stage?
No one had ever pressured her like this.
She felt as though she wasn’t facing a monster, but a sea of corpses and blood!
It seemed like it had lived in the past, only to return from antiquity.
“An Ancient Sea Monster… It’s actually an Ancient Sea Monster!”
Someone gasped, then screamed.
A Sea Monster.
This was a creature that had dominated the dark era!
“Hiss—”
Everyone gasped.
Under the dark clouds, the sea monster behind Bai Lian let out a hearty laugh. It floated confidently, as if it controlled everything in the world.
It brought with it a commanding presence.
As soon as it appeared, even the sea froze under its gaze.
Humph.
The sea monster didn’t even glance at Bai Lian.
Its attention was solely on Ruomu.
Yet, its mouth didn’t stop talking.
“Little girl, if you show some wisdom and back away, I might spare your life. If you persist, this place will be destroyed!”
“???”
Before Bai Lian could respond, the onlookers had already begun discussing amongst themselves.
Wait.
As a sea monster, you are indeed strong.
But do you realize you’re threatening an Immortal Emperor?
Immortal Emperor! Do you understand?
She’s an Immortal Emperor who can hold the sun and moon, pluck stars and constellations!
“Immortal Emperor?”
The sea monster chuckled.
Its laughter was like thunder, and it made Ying Shi dizzy, nearly causing her to faint.
“This is a small world. Don’t even mention the Immortal Emperor. Even if the Heavenly Lord came here, they wouldn’t be able to do anything!”
Its confidence was overwhelming, as if it could snap off the head of a Heavenly Lord and devour her alive in an instant.
Everyone present, even Xia Qingqing, whose cultivation was rapidly improving, felt anxious.
This sea monster had lived for a hundred thousand years. Its strength could surpass even that terrifying Sea Emperor!
Unless she could make a full recovery, defeating the sea monster was impossible.
As for Bai Lian…
Xia Qingqing turned her head.
She wanted Bai Lian to retreat.
You shouldn’t be here. You should be at Qiongming Peak!
[Even if you’re only slightly injured, I would feel the pain as if it were tearing me apart.]
This was not something Xia Qingqing wanted to see.
That kind of pain, she could only bear it if it was slowly shared with Bai Lian.
It was terrible.
Indeed.
After all, Bai Lian was still only at the Transcendency Stage.
Under normal circumstances, facing an enemy at the Transmigration Stage meant the only option would be to flee quickly—especially against this terrifying sea monster.
But…
Behind her was Xia Qingqing—no longer Green Emperor, but simply her name.
She was fully aware of the risks, yet she still came.
Not only because she had feelings for Xia Qingqing, but also because Xia Qingqing had once been a protector of the human race.
She…
All right.
Bai Lian suddenly became calm.
People often say she’s an indecent woman. It’s true. She doesn’t deny it. She is an indecent woman, otherwise, she wouldn’t play “The Battle of the Gods!”
She didn’t want to see Xia Qingqing die like this.
The future was worth looking forward to.
She wanted to do more with Xia Qingqing.
“Evil” thoughts made her heart fearless!
So, she rushed forward.
Even if the world ahead seemed dark.
But that’s the way it is—you have to cross the rugged terrain, pass through the darkness, and experience the majestic surge of the tide.
Bai Lian gripped the Dirt Free Sword tightly.
She had a new task ahead of her.
Before focusing on her task, she gave Xia Qingqing a reassuring look.
“I’ll wait for you to come back!”
What are you afraid of?
I’m here!
When you’re feeling anxious, just treat me as an “emotional dustbin” and I’ll swallow all your worries.
At that moment, Xia Qingqing cried.
“Bai Lian.”
Her voice was barely audible, only she herself could hear it.
