All Heavenly destiny reduced to ashes
Chapter 318 - 179: Turnaround (4/3)

Chapter 318: Chapter 179: Turnaround (4/3)

——Indeed. An Jing thought. Even if it were just to let Granny Huai live for a few more days, it would be enough to be considered... altering fate.

But not only that.

Within the Divine Sea, the hilt of the Subdue Evil broken sword was using force to knock against the continually ’sleeping’, motionless Heavenly Profound True Talisman.

"Don’t pretend you lack spiritual wisdom! Even if you have no wisdom, you must have instincts, right? Refine Essence Qi for me, help your host!"

The Heavenly Profound True Talisman trembled slightly, it indeed did not have clear consciousness, only a vague instinct, and instinct told it that to save this young host, it would have to sacrifice a substantial amount of essence, which made it make the same choice as before——continue sleeping.

But this time, a Sword Spirit far more powerful than it forcibly woke it up, and with a nearly brutal and domineering Sword Qi, it directly stabbed into the core of its talisman, with an attitude of ’if you don’t exert yourself, I will make sure you never do again’, making it reluctantly spit out some Xuanyuan Pure Light, mixed with the life force surging from the Emperor’s Blood, it began to reconstruct An Jing’s body at the fastest speed.

This was not the end. Subdue Evil might always be amnesiac, seeming unreliable, but in reality, when It says It doesn’t remember, It truly doesn’t remember, which is beyond its control.

However, if it was something within Its capabilities, then It would naturally do it to the best of Its ability.

Just like now.

"Kanming Bell!"

The next instant, the Sword Spirit’s will penetrated the Earth Vein, reaching directly into the core of the Earth Vein Formation. The Subdue Evil Sword Spirit arrived at the bewildered Kanming Bell’s martial soul, "Get to work for me, kill that Demon Sect demon!"

[I cannot...]The hazy and grand will responded honestly:[He has an Order Token...]

"Then protect An Jing——that’s the person you’re familiar with too, the one who helped you advance!"

[He doesn’t have an Order Token...]Kanming Bell seemed to want to explain further, but the Subdue Evil Sword Spirit became irritated, It didn’t care about possibly exposing itself and straightforwardly displayed Its Sword Intent, causing Kanming Bell, whose rank was far below Its own, to subconsciously tremble, "What’s with all the nonsense? Just do what I say!"

"Don’t you want to have spiritual wisdom? If you do me this favor, I’ll teach you the technique to awaken your spiritual wisdom!"

[Oh...]Kanming Bell felt somewhat wronged, but it indeed wanted the technique to awaken its spiritual wisdom—its current ability to think was solely because it was within the Earth Vein Formation, if it left the Formation, it would soon become an ordinary Divine Weapon, only having a hint of spiritual insight to coordinate with its master, and no longer having a self.

In a hazy state, another layer of golden light covered An Jing’s body.

"This is the limit..."

Having done all of this, the Subdue Evil Sword Spirit also felt very exhausted——It was, after all, an ancient soul that had been injured for a long time. Opening the Great Void Passage was Its innate ability, but mobilizing Sword Intent to kill and defeat enemies was truly difficult to accomplish.

Even intimidating the Heavenly Profound True Talisman and Kanming Bell’s martial soul was slightly beyond Its limits.

But even so, It was far better than during the countless years of sinking into oblivion and deep sleep in the past.

An Jing... this extraordinarily exceptional young cultivator, Subdue Evil believed that he was the one who could resolve Its questions, the one who could find the memories It had lost.

"An Jing!"

It returned to An Jing’s Divine Sea, calling out Its Sword Bearer’s name solemnly, "Have you recovered? Now is the time, open the Great Void Passage and leave!"

Meanwhile, An Jing gazed toward the distant Heavenly Mirror.

Although he could not see clearly what was happening in the distance, just from observing the tremors of the Heavenly Mirror, he could imagine a man already overwhelmed, leaning against his own Divine Mirror and gasping for breath, barely maintaining his Great Divine Ability that he hasn’t fully mastered, to combat an enemy he could no longer defeat.

——How similar... Is it because of the similarities that they became master and apprentice, or is it the other way around?

"An Jing!"

The Sword Spirit Subdue Evil’s tone was urgent, "Wasn’t this decided from the start? If you can’t defeat them, then retreat temporarily—at least you could buy some extra time to heal your injuries, and in three days, people from Da Chen will certainly arrive. By then, there might be a turning point!"

"Subdue Evil." An Jing’s heart was surprisingly calm, "I can flee, but can Master?"

"Why are you bringing up the mentor-disciple relationship at this time?" Subdue Evil was almost amused by exasperation, "Even Mingguang Dust would definitely want you to go first at this moment! Rather, the reason he is fighting is to give you the chance to escape!"

An Jing turned a deaf ear, "Master’s talents are inferior to mine, his opportunities lesser than mine, naturally, the calamities he faces are also lesser than mine... If he can get through them, I should be able to as well."

"An Jing, you’ve already done well enough!" Subdue Evil noticed a slight movement from He Wuchang’s figure. Though the opponent was still focused on observing Mingguang Dust’s actions in the distance, who knew when he might turn his attention back?

It spoke helplessly, "This is the limit—you’ve fought to this extent, even Immortal Gods can only praise you!"

——What is the praise of an Immortal God worth?

An Jing shook his head slightly, "Subdue Evil, trust me."

"I feel, I can do even better."

At the far end of the sky, Mingguang Dust’s Mirror Self Technique was near shattering, and he himself was also like a broken mirror, beams of Xuanqing Light Qi and Mirror Light streaming from the shattered surfaces of his body, casting sword-like rays in all directions.

Behind him, the Heavenly Mirror formed by the gathering of clouds and rain from all around was on the verge of shattering as well.

Opposite him, the presence of True Person Huan Xin and True Person Hun Lan was exceptionally weak, the Thunder Cloud Giant had long been sealed within the mirror, and the Heaven and Earth Spirit Sword Formation was suppressed by the pressure of the Eight Scenes Xuanyuan Pure Light.

By his own strength, Mingguang Dust suppressed two peers who were also high-ranking powerhouses of the Divine Repository, even having the spare capacity to deal with the Western Patrol Envoy He Wuchang’s forbidden curse techniques in the shadows. The infinitely reflecting corridor of mirrors twisted all targets of the curses, rendering him untainted by myriad laws.

The one truly pushing Mingguang Dust to this point was... a sword.

A sword still hidden within the Great Void, circulating with five-colored Xuan light!

Within the hazy void, the five-colored Xuan light blended and cleared, so pure that it even fostered a hint of massive destruction, a grand annihilation intent. It was the Five Elements collapsing, the chaos of all things returning to nothingness.

It was this Sword Intent that almost shattered Mingguang Dust’s Mirror Self Technique, annihilated his Six Yang Divine Skill, and nearly caused Mingguang Dust to fall on the spot. He could only use the All-Heaven Mirror of Myriad Transformations’ Great Divine Power, which he had not fully mastered, turning the clouds and rain of the world into his own strength, to hold on.

But this could not last long. Once the momentum of heaven and earth shifted, Mingguang Dust would no longer be able to maintain his current state.

The Endless Heavens Traveler hiding his identity was terrifyingly powerful. Even in a one-on-one fight, Mingguang Dust could not guarantee victory. He was undoubtedly a peerless powerhouse from the Upper Gate’s True Transmission of the Heavenly Ancestor, a Heaven’s Chosen. Now, by lowering his dignity to launch a sneak attack, he naturally made it difficult for Mingguang Dust to resist.

Moreover, Mingguang Dust had discovered that the opponent’s Sword Intent seemed to share some similarities with the peculiar Breath of Pure Dragon Qi described by Ruohui... This might not be an enemy aimed at him, but was still related to the ’internal strife of Da Chen’ connected to Ruohui and Guangyun.

"Technique falling short, the Great Void sealed off, returning to the Endless Heavens also not possible... It seems I’ve truly met my match this time."

Knowing he had no chance of victory, Mingguang Dust felt an unexpected calm within.

He even had the leisure to turn his head to look towards the direction of Kanming City, "The Great Void Ritual Altar seems to have finished gathering energy... An Jing should be able to leave."

"No, that’s not right..." After sensing a bit, Mingguang Dust furrowed his brows, "The altar has been gathering energy for quite some time."

"Strange, why hasn’t An Jing left yet?"
