Bang!

One Sword Taoist alone blocked both Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi, two powerful figures from the Martial Saint Realm. He was creating a slim chance of escape for the martial artists, risking his own life amidst perils.

Two divine radiations shot out from One Sword Taoist’s eyes, slashing through the sky and dimming the stars, like two divine swords cleaving down, causing Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi to furrow their brows. They, being peers in the Martial Saint Realm, had not anticipated that One Sword Taoist, relying on his individual combat strength, could hold them both off, which was incredibly powerful indeed.

"Such a powerful divine skill, the divine radiance from your eyes can actually transform into two strong Sword Qi that slash down," Bei Lengshi couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

Taiji Sword Skill, one of the rare divine sword techniques left on Ancient Earth, this old man has lived nearly three hundred years, and even if he hasn’t cultivated the Taiji Sword Skill to great success, he has grasped some of its essence. If we don’t join forces and exert our full strength soon, this old man really could kill us!" Du Tianqi glanced at Bei Lengshi and said.

Bei Lengshi furrowed his brow and did not immediately respond. In reality, both he and Du Tianqi were well aware that they each wanted to become the ruler of the Ancient Martial World. Between them, it was a fight to the death. However, since their common foe was One Sword Taoist, they had temporarily allied to attack him. As soon as One Sword Taoist was killed, a grand battle between them would certainly unfold. This involved issues of conserving strength, and even the possibility of one betraying the other during the attack on One Sword Taoist, which would really be tragic.

Whirring!

The two divine swords of light emitted from One Sword Taoist’s eyes blocked the attack from Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi. In that moment of their astonishment, the horsetail whisk in his hands quickly enlarged. The seals in his hands continuously changed, in an instant filling the entire Ancient Battlefield, thereby encircling Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi within.

"Fellow Taoists, there is no limit to the sea of demons, but turning back leads to the shore!" One Sword Taoist said with his hands clasped together.

"Hmph, One Sword Elder, today is the day you die," Bei Lengshi said as a golden whip appeared in his right hand, covered in intricate runes and circulating with strong Martial Arts True Power, faintly exuding a Taoist rhythm.

"Finally, the Shocking God Whip has been refined, paired with my Black King Sword, his death is certain," Du Tianqi said as he looked at the golden whip in Bei Lengshi’s hand.

Prior to this, Bei Lengshi had been holding back and had not summoned his Martial Saint Treasure, wishing to conserve his strength and also fearing that Du Tianqi might suddenly strike him. However, now that One Sword Elder had acted, displaying formidable strength, the horsetail whisk enveloping the whole Ancient Battlefield posed an imminent risk of complete destruction. One Sword Elder’s combat strength was immense; across the entire Ancient Martial World, there was no one who dared underestimate him.

"Duster Killing Array, activate!" One Sword Taoist called out in a low voice, as divine power infused into the horsetail whisk, activating the great divine encompassing Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi.

Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi were both ruthless and extreme individuals who would stop at nothing to achieve their goals, effectively two individuals who had allowed their natures to be consumed by demonic influences. One Sword Taoist understood that only a fight to the death was left. Even if he were to be annihilated, he was determined to take these two with him, as they wouldn’t change and would definitely resist. The only option he had was to launch an unrestrained attack, intending to kill both Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi together.

Beneath them, the Song Mountain Sect also erupted into a great battle. Du Wanli was blocked by Qingcheng Yue, Bei Wei was blocked by Eastern Meng. The four were embroiled in a world-shaking great battle. The remaining martial artists, led by Xie Yuhe, charged out towards the Song Mountain Sect. Among them were also disciples from the Five Poison Sect and Song Mountain Sect trying to intercept these fleeing martial artists, aiming to kill them, thus a fierce battle erupted as well.

At this very moment, deep within a secluded gorge, within the Heavenly Number Mysterious Sect, Tianshuang sat cross-legged on the former throne of the Divine Calculation, with Zhang Ruotong by her side. Including two child disciples of the Heavenly Number Mysterious Sect, they were all sitting cross-legged behind Tianshuang, engaging in cultivation and sensing the mysteries between heaven and earth.

The Heavenly Number Mysterious Sect was a very mystical sect with ancient heritage. Though not very powerful, their ability to see the past and future and determine human fate amazed everyone, whether it be dominators of territories, supreme demons, or even unbeatable emperors. All sought to form a good relationship with those from the Heavenly Number Mysterious Sect. Knowing to be good teachers and friends with them, whether in the path of cultivation, foreseeing dangers, or in seeking Divine Skills Immortal Scripture and life-extending elixirs, the effects could be tremendously enhanced.

"I wonder how Tianchen and Sister Eastern Meng are getting on?" Zhang Ruotong asked worriedly.

"Ruotong, now that you have become a disciple of the Heavenly Number Mysterious Sect and learned some divination techniques, why not give it a try?" Tianshuang looked at Zhang Ruotong and said.

"This... I understand, Sect Leader," Zhang Ruotong paused briefly and then nodded her head in agreement.

Tianshuang nodded her head and then closed her eyes again. Behind her, the two child disciples also sat in meditation, composed and serene. After the Divine Calculation passed away, only the four of them remained in the Heavenly Number Mysterious Sect. They alone now represented the sect, and continuing the legacy of their sect was no easy task.

After receiving Tianshuang’s permission, Zhang Ruotong floated up from her cross-legged position, landing on the training ground dominated by the Eight Diagrams design. She slowly circulated the Martial Arts True Power within her body, extending her palms upwards gradually—her left hand channeling a black crescent-shaped True Power, and her right hand a white crescent-shaped True Power, as if representing the cosmic yin and yang.

At that moment, Zhang Ruotong’s whole demeanor transformed, exuding a mysterious and immeasurable power. Tianshuang was startled and muttered to herself, "No wonder in the end, the ancestor still took her as his disciple. She truly possesses a unique talent in divination..."

Crack!

Finally, Zhang Ruotong brought her hands together. The two distinct black and white mystical forces merged, and she stood still, eyes intently staring ahead, her expression one of shock, as if she had seen something astonishing, leaving her dumbfounded.

Boom!

A thunderclap resounded above. A bolt of lightning descended from the sky. This was the punishment all disciples in the divination line suffered after divining. The severity varied, but divination itself was an act of seizing the secrets of heaven—revealing fates not meant to be known, allowing those destined to die to escape their fates, was in essence defying the will of heaven, and contending with destiny!

Swish!

The Heavenly Punishment Thunder Tribulation descended, targeting Zhang Ruotong’s head. Just then, Tianshuang extended her hand and produced a talisman. On the talisman, a small figure was seated cross-legged with hands in front of their chest, forming a very strange seal. When the talisman was activated by the Martial Arts True Power, the small figure on it seemingly came to life and rushed towards the descending thunder.

Boom!

The loud noise dissipated, and the lightning that had fallen from the sky had vanished. Tianshuang finally breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, she hadn’t expected that Zhang Ruotong’s first divination would invoke the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Tribulation. For a divination master, this was extremely unfavorable. Such a seer, whenever they divined, would face heaven’s punishment. If their own strength wasn’t formidable and they lacked protection from a powerful being, they might be directly annihilated by the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Tribulation.

Of course, this also shocked Tianshuang. Seers of such caliber appeared but once in a million years. She had once heard from the ancestor, the Divine Calculation, that in this world there exist people born with an extraordinary sensitivity to external elements. Be it concerning themselves or those around them, they could completely grasp everything. A mere glance at a person could reveal the trials they might face or the span of their life. These individuals were Heaven’s seers, capable of foreseeing everything, yet they lived short lives—they were heaven’s greatest adversaries. From the moment of their birth, heaven would sense them, perhaps even immediately unleashing the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Tribulation to utterly annihilate them.

"If Zhang Ruotong is truly a natural-born seer, then she should be the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Number Mysterious Sect. The only thing I can do now is to protect her, and as much as possible, develop her natural gift for divination," Tianshuang thought to herself.

Zhang Ruotong flew back using Qi Manipulation Flight, her face pale, her eyes filled with concern. It seemed that her recent divination about Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng was extremely ominous; otherwise, she wouldn’t have such an expression.

"How did the divination turn out?" Tianshuang asked.

"I don’t know how to say this..." Zhang Ruotong hesitated to speak.

Tianshuang looked at Zhang Ruotong. She didn’t know what information Zhang Ruotong had divined, but she could tell from Zhang Ruotong’s expression it was not good news. The reason Zhang Ruotong hesitated to speak was fear that speaking might make it come true, fearing her concerns might become reality. However, to become a true divination master, one who could guide others, change fates against heaven, one must be able to withstand all setbacks.

"Some things are destined and cannot be changed, but some things depend on human actions, and might not necessarily come true. Martial Artists inherently contend with heaven for fate; there is no need to be afraid!" Tianshuang said, looking at Zhang Ruotong.

Zhang Ruotong lifted her head, frowning as she spoke, "Just now, I saw Tianchen covered in blood, critically injured, and just then, a mysterious person launched an attack on him, incredibly powerful, aiming a sword straight at his head..."(To be continued.
