Chapter 693: I Understand Now
At this moment, Yue Qing’s face showed the fourth shock he had since arriving at Mountain-Sea World!
He originally thought that Jiang Yun’s every method had ended the moment Hidden Tao Sword was thrown out.
But he never expected that Jiang Yun deliberately let go of the Hidden Tao Sword!
Although he didn’t turn around to see that Palm of Asking Dao had caught the Hidden Tao Sword, he could clearly feel it.
That strong aura, not weaker than his, appeared behind him again.
Inside, there were sharp Sword Intents that made his hair stand on end.
This made him reach for Jiang Yun’s hand, but had to stop again.
Without even having time to react, the black robe on his body suddenly expanded, releasing a strong sense of coldness.
Countless white ice crystals appeared in the air.
These ice crystals immediately exploded upon appearing, turning into a massive ice crystal storm that covered an area of tens of thousands of feet, sweeping towards Yue Qing from behind in an instant.
Everything in the path of the ice crystal storm was frozen!
Jiang Yun, although not within the storm’s coverage area, with various powerful flames within his body and the innate talent of the Snow clan.
Yet, he could clearly hear the sound of ice forming within his body and see layers of white ice crystals emerging on his body.
Not to mention him, even Hai Changsheng, who had been observing in the dark, and the endless sea water, were all frozen under this storm!
The Boundary Sea of Nanshan Province turned into an immense and colossal block of ice!
This was the full power generated by the late-stage strength of Yue Qing Sky Blessed Realm.
It’s clear that he paid attention to the attack coming from the combination of the Palm of Asking Dao and the Hidden Tao Sword behind him.
If it were any other attack, it would have been frozen by the ice storm of Christoph’s completely and become ineffective.
However, Yue Qing didn’t know that the powerful presence he felt from within the Seeking-Tao Five Peaks belonged to the Desolate World tribe, which was as strong as him.
He was also unaware that within the Seeking-Tao Five Peaks, the Desolate World tribe had secretly left behind a Desolate Mark!
The Desolate Mark could ignore most powers in this world.
This included the power of ice, of course!
So, even though the Palm of Asking Dao and the Hidden Tao Sword were covered in a layer of ice after being swept by the storm, they were momentarily frozen.
But as the Desolate Mark at the center of his palm appeared again, all the ice covering them instantly melted away.
A huge hand tightly grasped the Hidden Tao Sword and gently thrust it towards Yue Qing.
As Yue Qing thrust his sword, Jiang Yun couldn’t see it, but in his eyes, he seemed to see a vast blue sky with black cracks appearing on it!
And in the next moment, Jiang Yun’s eyes widened to their extremes, as he clearly saw three things!
Desolate Mark, spirit qi, and Tao Mark!
At this moment, these three things unexpectedly intertwined, as if merging together.
It was because of their blending that a terrifying power emerged.
Where this power went, the cracks in the sky increased.
Under the spreading cracks, the sky began to collapse inch by inch, turning from blue to endless darkness, emanating an ancient and desolate aura.
Under the influence of this aura, a feeling of despair uncontrollably surged in Jiang Yun’s heart.
Desolation!
When the swords clashed, the sky turned barren, and everything else disappeared.
At this moment, in Jiang Yun’s eyes, everything except Yue Qing shattered at a very fast speed, turning into darkness and nothingness with a barren feeling.
The power was rapidly approaching Yue Qing, making his face extremely pale.
Though the power was terrifying, it was still within his limits to endure.
What truly frightened him was the slight presence of the Power of Rules within the force, which he understood better than Jiang Yun.
The Time rules are the most powerful rules, capable of manipulating the flow of time, making it hard for anyone to resist.
Few people can control the Time rules, and Yue Qing was surprised to face it in the Mountain-Sea World.
Yue Qing suddenly roared, "Glacier Dream!"
"Crash!"
In this endless darkness, countless ice crystals appeared once again.
But this time, the ice crystals didn’t form a storm, but gathered together to form an ice river.
They didn’t attack Palm of Asking Dao and Hidden Tao Sword, but surrounded Yue Qing’s own body instead.
With the ice river surrounding him, Jiang Yun suddenly lost sight of Yue Qing.
But Jiang Yun knew, Yue Qing must not have died!
Finally, Palm of Asking Dao released Hidden Tao Sword, turning back into Seeking-Tao Five Peaks standing on the ground, and Hidden Tao Sword returned to Jiang Yun’s hand.
Sky Palm, end!
At this moment, the once Seeking-Tao Sect was now gone, only the Seeking-Tao Five Peaks remained.
Everything else, including the stone tablet Jiang Yun had erected for the deceased disciples, all disappeared without a trace.
Even the sea water within tens of thousands of feet around evaporated and disappeared under that terrifying power, allowing the Seeking-Tao Sect and the land here to see the light of day again.
Jiang Yun held the Hidden Tao Sword, standing still like a statue.
Because his mind kept recalling the intertwining of the three things he had just seen.
"Desolate Mark and spirit qi were originally two completely different entities, like water and fire, they should be natural enemies."
"But they were able to combine together, unleashing a terrifying power!"
"And the key item that brings them together is the Tao Mark!"
"So, the Tao Mark has this function, and the Sky Palm is actually a powerful technique left by Dao Yuanzhi to combine Desolate Mark and spirit qi together."
"I understand!"
Just as Jiang Yun finally realized the true meaning of holding the Hidden Tao Sword with the Palm of Asking Dao, he couldn’t help but blurt out these four words, when suddenly Yue Qing’s voice full of anger rang in his ears!
"What do you understand now!"
Yue Qing silently appeared again, but this time his hair was messy and his black robe had turned into pieces of tattered cloth.
Even his appearance looked a bit older compared to before.
The Power of Rules mixed in the Sky Palm erased many years of Yue Qing’s life!
If Yue Qing hadn’t finally used the Ice River Dream technique, quickly putting himself in another space, separating from the Mountain-Sea World’s space, he would have lost even more years of life.
This was just the consequence of Jiang Yun using the Sky Palm in the Tao Spiritual Realm!
If Dao Yuanzhi had personally used it, that strike might have been enough to kill Yue Qing!
To kill a strong fighter from the Daoxing Realm with just one spell, that shows such a terrifying power.
"Jiang Yun, you really made me angry!"
Yue Qing’s cold expression has vanished from his face, replaced by a twisted look of anger.
He was beyond angry!
Despite his status and strength, coming to this Desolate World to capture a cultivator who had just entered the Tao Spiritual Realm, he was repeatedly outwitted by Jiang Yun, even losing some of his lifespan in the process.
He couldn’t bear this humiliation no matter what.
"Now, I want to see if you have any other tricks up your sleeve!"
With a roar, Yue Qing summoned countless ice crystals from the air, charging towards Jiang Yun.
