Chapter 780: Chapter 799: Reaching the Heavens

Heaven and Earth solidified, murderous aura howled through the sky, the cosmos trembled to the extreme, the Three Realms shuddered ever so slightly, as if deep within the Taixiao Starry Sky, an ancient malevolent deity was awakening, gazing down upon all beings in the Three Realms with eyes intent on burying the spirits in oblivion.

What had occurred?

Powers from all directions, various Quasi-Saints, were at this moment trembling in body and soul—because they had witnessed with their own eyes how Nuwa struck a blow at Ye Xuan with her sword, only to be repelled tens of thousands of miles by a green light from beyond the heavens.

Terrifying, too terrifying, terrifying to the point where their souls quivered uncontrollably.

Who was Nuwa?

She was one of the six Great Saints of Heaven and Earth. To send a Great Saint flying, the adversary’s origin must be unimaginably fearsome.

“Senior brother!”

Suddenly, Nuwa’s aura turned cold and piercing, and as she lifted her gaze towards the outer space, her voice came out exceedingly icy, evidently aware of who had saved Ye Xuan’s life.

Boom boom boom!

A figure, reaching from the heavens to the earth, shone brilliantly with Holy Light of slaughter in the Taixiao Starry Sky. Stars flickered and sunk into oblivion, as if the very appearance of this person made all things between Heaven and Earth tremble with fear.

“Heavenly Sect Master?”

All at once, a scream of extreme horror sounded. The sight of the Southern Immortal turning pale, collapsing onto the ground, was proof of the extent of his terror.

Thud—thud—thud.

In a garb of green, the killing intent cold and decisive, and with a bearing that seemed to look down upon the ages, the Heavenly Sect Master walked through the galaxy from beyond the skies, and with each step he took, stars burst and vanished into nothing, his might inconceivably terrifying.

Boom!

The Holy Light of slaughter covered the sky, myriad illusions of Green Lotus emerged throughout the heavens, and the Heavenly Sect Master ultimately stood within the Heavenly Vault, expressionless, calmly looking at Nuwa.

“Senior brother, you wish to save him?” Nuwa’s words came out cold, with Holy Light around her in disarray, betraying the turmoil within her heart.

“The Jie Sect exists because of him, and through him it persists. Junior sister, you cannot kill him,” the Heavenly Sect Master spoke evenly.

Looking upon the indifferent countenance of the Heavenly Sect Master, Nuwa’s brows furrowed tightly, her eyes reflecting immense severity.

She had never anticipated that the Heavenly Sect Master would intervene, and at such a critical moment, to save Ye Xuan, which put her in an exceedingly difficult position.

Who was the Heavenly Sect Master?

He was not just a Saint, but one of The Three Pure Ones, his hands wielding the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, the Heaven and Earth Absolute Formation. In times past, he had fought alone against four Great Saints, and although in the end he was defeated and the formation broken, that battle alone cemented the Heavenly Sect Master’s supreme renown.

One man opposing four Great Saints, which included the most powerful Saint, Laozi, even though much of that was thanks to the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation. But it still proved the fearsome nature of the Heavenly Sect Master.

If today the Heavenly Sect Master insisted on saving Ye Xuan, she, Nuwa, would be utterly unable to stop him; she would not possibly be a match for him. This she was acutely aware of.

“Senior brother sees clearly, Ye Xuan insulted the Saints, and his actions have brought calamity and tribulation upon Heaven and Earth—he deserves death,” Nuwa’s brows remained tightly furrowed, hoping to persuade the Heavenly Sect Master to retreat.

“Junior sister, I know what’s in your heart, but do not blame your brother today for setting aside our past sentiments. Ye Xuan, you cannot kill,” the Heavenly Sect Master said somberly.

“You…?”

Nuwa’s expression froze for a moment, then instantly darkened. She could not have imagined that the Heavenly Sect Master would go so far for such a trivial being as Ye Xuan.

“Heavenly, do you really wish to turn against me over such an ant?” Nuwa’s cold voice rang out, echoing with the icy chill embedded within. As a Saint, if she failed to kill Ye Xuan today, would she not become a laughing stock of the Three Realms?

“Turn against you and become enemies?”

“Ha ha… Ha ha… Ha ha!”

The Heavenly Sect Master burst into boisterous laughter, his thunderous chuckles roaring across the universe, as though he had just heard the joke of the century.

Suddenly, the laughter of the Heavenly Sect Master ceased. He gave Nuwa a cold look as the killing Saint Light surged through the Three Realms, and his voice that seemed to disregard all living beings resonated throughout.

“Nuwa, even though you and I are both Saints, do you think you qualify to be my adversary?”

“Or is it that after the endless eons, you’ve forgotten what sort of temperament this Sect Hierarch possesses?”

“Hmm?”

With an aura of lethal coldness and age-old pride, as the voice of the Heavenly Sect Master oppressed Heaven and Earth, the killing Saint Light crisscrossed all around as if the fabric of the Three Realms itself might shatter at any moment.

“Hiss!”

Gasps of shock spread from all directions as the Heavenly Sect Master revealed his formidable and frightful side, causing all creatures to collapse weakly to the ground, their gazes filled with immense fear when they looked toward the Heavenly Sect Master.

“Heavenly, do not push me too far.”

As a Saint herself, Nuwa naturally couldn’t submit. She raised her voice against the Heavenly Sect Master, although a deep gravity filled her eyes.

Clearly, the Heavenly Sect Master’s combat power was too fearsome; Nuwa alone absolutely could not match him. However, if she didn’t kill Ye Xuan today, eventually, he was certain to become a major threat to her—a result she definitely did not wish to see.

“Heavenly, do you desire to wage war against me?” Nuwa’s delicate voice swelled with tension, as the Heaven and Earth Holy Light roared out with the Heavenly Dao Laws descending like they might engage in battle with the Heavenly Sect Master at any moment.

“Nuwa, considering you’re also a disciple of Hong Jun, this Sect Hierarch doesn’t wish to trouble you. If you simply retreat today and henceforth stop troubling Ye Xuan, I shall consider myself indebted to you,” the Heavenly Sect Master said with a cold tone, seemingly advising Nuwa, but in truth, it was also a form of threat.

“Impossible!”

Nuwa didn’t hesitate for a second, directly rejecting the Heavenly Sect Master with a defiant outcry. This was not only about preserving her dignity as a Saint but also about the cause and effect between her and Ye Xuan.

“Heavenly, you must not forget that although you are one of The Three Pure Ones, during the past Sealing God Tribulation, you offended four Great Saints. If you place me as your adversary today, I fear your Jie Sect may not meet a good end,” Nuwa openly addressed the serious consequences, hinting at the repercussions of his actions.

Clearly, in the past Sealing God Tribulation, the Heavenly Sect Master had single-handedly battled four Great Saints, having already sown seeds of profound enmity and karma. If he made an enemy of her, Nuwa, today, he could truly be considered isolated among the Saints.

Boom, boom, boom!

Heaven and earth moved, and the sun and moon lost their radiance. Four verdant flashes suddenly descended from beyond the stars, with four frostily ruthless sword weapons floating and sinking in the Heavenly Vault. The light from the Immortal Slaying Sword threw chaos across Heaven and Earth and cast the Heavenly Sect Master’s awe-inspiring might into sharp relief.

Hum!

The Four Immortal Slaying Swords continuously rotated, the fabric of space and time within Heaven and Earth slightly twisted, strands of Immortal Slaying Sword Light intimidating as they pierced the heart. At this moment, the Heavenly Sect Master turned to look at Ye Xuan, a radiant smile emerging on his face.

“Ye Xuan.”

“Ye Xuan pays his respects to the Sect Hierarch.”

Ye Xuan, gravely wounded and on the verge of death, was enveloped by an aura of death, but he still clung on to a breath of life. He did not want to die, nor was he willing to die. How could he resign himself to death without defeating Nuwa till her soul scattered?
