The living can die, but the dead cannot live.

How then do the living return to the state of death?

“No self.”

He gathered his essence, energy, and spirit, focusing it all at the tip of his spear, and plunged the temporal flux into nothingness.

No thought, no awareness, no intent, no consideration. The spear tip, singular, targeted the Sealed God Platform. Only when that sliver of opportunity was touched would intent, thought, and awareness reawaken.

Thus, he could deceive the examining True Demons, the formidable experts who had accumulated years of power in the two opposing camps, and seize the initiative.

When “I” killed my way out of “nothingness”…

He, Xiong Sansi…

No, he, Rao Bingzhang, was determined to unleash his full might!

The God-Origin Gold-Painted Spear, the Divine Infant nurtured within his Cave True Body.

Countless years of cultivation within the Ten Thousand Gods Sea, all culminating in this moment of triumphant release.

The Heavenly Way Seven Sins Spear was merely the beginning.

Like the rising sun emerging from the east, he unleashed the first spear of this temporal epoch, his form radiating ten thousand zhang of light, his most glorious moment.

Let the Heavenly Patrol Chariot wait! Let all gods worship him!

Innocence, fortune, seeking, acquisition—none of it mattered.

Those who faced his spear…

Not all would perish by its edge!

Precisely because the killing power of this spear was so terrifying, the True Demon dog Ying Yang, whose sole purpose was to rescue his “young master,” was forced to retreat again and again.

In that instant, upon the golden Sealed God Platform constructed from divine power, dog Ying Yang stood with his hands clasped behind his back, one hand pressed forward. Within his palm lay a verdant landscape, a miniature mountain and river, shimmering with emerald light, its shadows dancing with flying birds and swimming fish.

The empty valley was deep and profound, boundless in its mystery.

The tip of the Grand Mist Gold Spear, his grandmother’s heirloom, pointed directly at the peak of that emerald mountain.

The spear’s light seemed to probe infinitely within that landscape.

Xiong Sansi and his Grand Mist Gold Spear appeared capable of shining forth forever.

But where in this world is there forever?

“Shouldn’t you stop this folly?” dog Ying Yang’s cold eyes gazed forward, his sight piercing the endless brilliant spear light to fix upon Xiong Sansi within its depths.

Even if he had been summoned for a drink by a mere letter from spider Yi, even if he had been beaten like a dead dog by Tiger Tai Sui, he was still a contemporary True Demon, still the Peak Master of Zhao Yun Peak!

To be casually crafted into a deformed creature by Tiger Tai Sui, a mere True Demon who had just entered the realm, and then forced back to his starting point by a single spear, was an undeniable humiliation.

Not killing him out of respect for Tiger Tai Sui’s already opened Supreme Dao path, not daring to destroy the work of that Heavenly Venerate’s Dao, did not mean that he, who had just proven his True Demon status, had no power against this young upstart.

Having chased after the Dao for several hundred years, who among them wasn’t once a Heavenly Pride?

Beside him, the palace-dressed beauty, spider String, drew her second sword.

The sword’s cry was like the buzzing of a mosquito.

It was also a slender sword.

Deer Seven Lang’s “Wild Plain” resembled a large steel needle in shape. Every structure, including its sword patterns, existed solely to enhance its penetrating power. It was utterly sharp, utterly keen, utterly lethal.

Spider String’s two slender swords, however, were like two waistbands. They gracefully encircled the beautiful woman’s waist!

Qi wrapped around the renowned sword, named the “Beautiful Woman’s Waist,” said to be the most enchanting. Compared to these twin swords, it paled in comparison.

Spider String’s two swords, when still, were silent. When they moved, they could split heaven and earth, divide the flow of the golden sea.

The tip of Xiong Sansi’s golden spear and the peak of dog Ying Yang’s emerald mountain intersected, cracking open a black fissure line, which then split into a gully!

Dog Ying Yang and Xiong Sansi, who had been at close quarters, were now separated by the horizon.

“You go first, I’ll handle this,” spider String said, her voice a whisper.

Her voice was like a small bridge flowing over water, or like rising curls of cooking smoke.

This kind of sound kill had already entered the Dao.

There was no magnificent momentum, no intense collision.

This voice, which ignited the demon world’s simmering embers, dyed the golden brilliance, and pulled the incomparably proud Xiong Sansi down from his divine altar.

But the golden brilliance that filled the sky, when gathered, was only one Xiong Sansi, one golden spear… and nothing more.

In spider String’s eyes, the so-called Spirit Race, though born, still needed the recognition of the ancient imperial city.

Even if the Demon Race’s highest will acknowledged the existence of the Spirit Race, it would only be as a servant race to the demons, similar to cannon fodder or consumable goods for generals.

Yet, this single Xiong Sansi was an exceptionally flamboyant “I”!

For so many years in the demon world, he had silently endured hardship, silently borne his burden, never for a moment venting his frustrations.

He didn’t even dare to recall his hometown friends too often, fearing his Dao heart would collapse, unable to control this mixed human-demon-monster body, and become that writhing heap of fleshy insects!

Extreme suppression exchanged for this moment of extreme eruption.

Although his spear’s edge was dyed, his golden brilliance extinguished by smoke, his flowing long hair unfurled in the air like a banner. On his intentionally unrecovered, hideous face flowed something called “freedom.” Of course, he had never been truly free before; he had always been in a prison cage.

Therefore, he understood and longed for freedom more than anyone, any demon.

The ten thousand zhang of light outside him had been cut away by spider String. The ten thousand zhang of light within his heart did not need external display. In front of the gully cut by spider String, he leaped, and the yuan force behind him soared. It was insubstantial, yet in the eyes of a True Demon, it was countless ribbons of flying light… everything behind him, including the yuan force of heaven and earth, seemed to become his wings. Was he not originally a Kunpeng? What fear was a gully?

He flew over the rules cut down by spider String, leaped across the gully, his empty steps like a horse’s trot, a shocking dragon two zhang long in his palm!

This spear… was given for freedom! The vast God Xiao World seemed to resonate with a dragon’s roar.

The entire divine mountain, even the bodies within this mountain unable to see the ten thousand li of mountains and rivers, hazy, all followed the rise and fall of this spear.

It was the turning of the earth dragon, the shifting of stars, the changing of the sun and moon!

This spear simultaneously swallowed both spider String and dog Ying Yang.

I, who have lost thirteen years, and even more years of freedom thereafter, will not allow you two demons to escape!

Facing such a spear, dog Ying Yang remained unmoving, unspoken.

Spider String had already made her intentions clear; there was no need for him to act further.

His action, instead, would be an act of disrespect towards the City Lord of Mo Yun City.

And spider String herself stepped forward.

Her pupils instantly dilated, revealing heavy pupils!

Facing Xiong Sansi, who had just achieved True Demon status, spider String directly displayed her demon form. This was, of course, a declaration of value, and also an affirmation of her true word cultivation.

She wanted dog Ying Yang to go first, and would not allow anyone to block him.

The so-called contemporary True Persons and True Demons, originally at the same level, all believed their thoughts moved in accordance with the Dao, that their Cave Heavens and realms were true existences.

But when two collided, whose “thought” would become “law”?

Whose truth would be the “true”?

You say I cannot walk, I say you cannot block. In the end, it still comes down to a battle to the death. Kill intent, kill gods, kill bodies!

The imperfect double pupils faced each other, embedded in spider String’s eyes like parallel suns and moons.

Her demon form was her pupils, her innate divine ability was the simultaneous appearance of sun and moon in the sky!

If the power of the Twin Suns in the Sky lay in the majestic power of the divine soul and the precise control over it, then the power of the Sun and Moon Together in the Sky lay in understanding Yin and Yang, in seeing the sun and blinding the night.

Among the three manifestations of heavy pupils, its power was the most mysterious.

When this gaze descended, the surging mountains and rivers, like a dragon thousands of li long, suddenly brightened and darkened, flickering between certainty and uncertainty.

This spear seemed to simultaneously shuttle between day and night, its nature constantly changing.

Infinitely shuttling between the virtual and the real, its power was also infinitely weakened.

Facing spider String, who truly viewed him as an opponent, facing this pair of eyes that brought the sun and moon together in the sky, Xiong Sansi directly pressed down the tail of his spear, lifted its edge, and settled this spear forward!

That roar that echoed ten thousand li, that momentum that threatened to sweep across the earth’s mountains and rivers, stopped here, then emitted an earth-shattering explosion.

Boom rumble! Boom rumble!

Brilliant flashes of light and flame encircled the divine mountain, waves of air surging layer upon layer like tides.

The sky, which was about to brighten, instantly darkened, turning into a vast whiteness!

When all returned to calm, spider String held her twin swords, still on the golden platform. Xiong Sansi held his golden spear horizontally, still in front of the golden platform.

And in the process of this confrontation, dog Ying Yang’s figure had already disappeared.

To confront two True Demons just after reaching the Cave True realm was indeed too much.

Especially when one True Demon was determined to escape, and the other True Demon intended to cooperate, it was fundamentally impossible to block them.

Four breaths…

Was four breaths the limit for fighting for the first leader of the Great Qi Yellow River?

At the crucial moment of taking the final step, Xiong Sansi was already battling at the halfway point of Cave Clear Mountain. He knew that the Qi country’s Heavenly Pride named Jiang Wang, after successively killing Yang Yu, Shu Jialan, and spider Lan Ruo, had seized the Immortal Spring and escaped the divine mountain.

This level of strength was worthy of being the first leader of the Yellow River. But the distance between a temporary divine state and the Cave True realm, on the vast Dao, was thousands of li.

If dog Ying Yang were to catch up, even if Jiang Wang were stronger, he would likely meet his end.

Four breaths of escape time might not be enough for a True Demon to chase and kill…

If he could… if he could fight and kill this spider String. Perhaps there would still be an opportunity to catch up and do something.

Not for himself to do something, for he had failed in all his endeavors.

It was for the Qi country.

Mountains and rivers come and go, and so do successors!

For the Qi country!

Xiong Sansi tightly gripped the golden spear blocked by the Sun and Moon Together in the Sky, and thrust it into the Sealed God Platform.

Crimson spirit flames burned all over his body…

Ah, ha!

He clearly no longer possessed true flesh, but at this moment, the blue veins on his forehead throbbed, his muscles rose and fell as if breathing. His internal body emitted sounds like mountains collapsing and seas roaring, generating nearly infinite power from within. He refined a powerful body with the spirit of the Spirit Race.

It was as if he were using this body to reproduce the principles of heaven and earth, using the spirit flame to draw natural arrays.

With spirit seeing blood, his lone body became an array.

That power was majestic like a river or sea. Thus, the golden spear lifted upwards.

One spear lifted and overturned the Sealed God Platform, and also lifted spider String who was on the Sealed God Platform.

This spear… was for family and country!

The Chong Xuan clan, a renowned family of Qi, had a famous couplet, the lower line of which said: “The world is heavy, carrying mountains and seas is not as heavy as carrying responsibility.”

What responsibility is the heaviest?

The rise and fall of the world!

The Sealed God Platform suppressed the vast Ten Thousand Gods Sea. The ten thousand floating god images were its roots.

Spider String, a dignified True Demon, her standing place naturally gave birth to the roots of heaven and earth.

To overturn both of these together, what kind of power was needed?

Far beyond what a mere pig’s power could imagine.

He truly saw the battles between true powerhouses today. Although he often didn’t understand what was happening, even a fleeting glimpse was enough to shock his heart.

The ideal of world peace, mentioned in the past, was inevitably too simplistic!

He fundamentally didn’t know what this world was like, didn’t even know how truly strong the strong were.

Lost in thought, he no longer hesitated, turned and flew down the divine mountain.

The God Xiao World was a world of infinite opportunities, but waiting in place would yield nothing.

Indeed, the God Xiao World was extremely dangerous, indeed this body was weak, its laws inferior, its blade dull… yet he still wanted to explore his own possibilities.

And facing this spear was spider String herself! Why did she choose to stay in the Ten Thousand Gods Sea to deal with Xiong Sansi, instead of killing out of the divine mountain to personally avenge spider Lan Ruo? She had her reasons for being in Mo Yun City.

Although the blood rain on the horizon had been swept away, and spider Lan Ruo’s body and soul were utterly destroyed.

But the divine ability of the Blue Yin Void Fruit could leave behind a trace.

She needed to collect as many of these traces as possible. With the ephemeral light gone, the remnant body gone, reviving spider Lan Ruo was impossible, but bringing something back to the old ancestor was at least a gesture, and might reveal something.

But facing such a Xiong Sansi, who had just entered the True Demon realm, she hadn’t even taken a step back, and couldn’t hold back!

Her imperfect double pupils rotated, enveloping the endlessly changing sky colors. With her twin swords, she pressed down the intent of family and country in this spear, assisting the Sealed God Platform, suppressing the vast and magnificent Ten Thousand Gods Sea.

She was most skilled at weakening her opponents layer by layer. Except for the time she was violently beaten by Ye Ling Xiao in South Heaven City, when she was unable to receive blows even after being weakened countless times, most of the time, she could remain undefeated.

This time, both sides were locked in a stalemate around the Sealed God Platform. Xiong Sansi pulled his spear back, then returned to the golden sea and turned his body, thrusting his spear at his heart!

His departure was a vow, his return a cut through iron.

Spider String’s sword momentum was still there, her pupil power was still there, even the Sealed God Platform was re-established by her, yet her heart suddenly ached!

These three spears.

Freedom, family and country, old friends’ return!

Boom rumble, boom rumble!

As Jiang Wang walked through the air, he vaguely heard the booming sounds behind the divine mountain.

He didn’t know what the two True Demons summoned by the Sealed God Platform were doing.

Thinking about how the Ancient Star City had arranged the Sealed God Platform in the God Xiao World for so long, it must have a plan that matched the time spent.

Summoning two honored True Demons wouldn’t just be for killing him.

He didn’t expect to have the opportunity to destroy the Ancient Imperial City’s layout on the Sealed God Platform. With the situation as it was, wearing the Immortal Spring and holding the Knowledge Bell, returning to the mundane world would already be a huge success.

Where was the road?

Scene after scene of mountains and rivers retreated beneath his feet. Strolling on the blue clouds, Jiang Wang shook the Knowledge Bell!

The moment he received the support of the Immortal Spring, he had already understood the cause and effect from his grasp of the old mountain’s power at its waist. He knew that the Immortal Spring, this treasure of heaven and earth, also longed for home, longed to regain its vitality.

This was, of course, the instinct of all things.

Whether the Immortal Spring knew the way back to the mundane world, he couldn’t communicate with it, of course, but with the “making known what is heard” Knowledge Bell, perhaps he could gain some understanding.

The bell rang.

Behind him, the relentless Deer Seven Lang suddenly trembled, his body like a rainbow, turning back several times in the high sky, displaying the wondrous body technique of the first edge of the God Fragrant Flower Sea.

A pity, those enchanting eyes were thrown to a blind man.

Jiang Wang didn’t even turn his head back, didn’t make a single extra movement, and flew directly forward.

That posture was truly exhilarating, and he ran truly fast!

The Immortal Spring was not an intelligent entity, it had only the spiritual instinct of a heaven and earth treasure.

The Knowledge Bell was indeed a supreme treasure. When the bell rang, it did indeed allow Jiang Wang to “know what was heard” from the Immortal Spring.

But the knowledge he gained was only to return to Immortal Spring Mountain and revive his spiritual instinct. As for how to get back, it was fundamentally a blank.

Perhaps for the Immortal Spring, which had been dry for a long time, following the seal master recognized by the mundane world was enough; it didn’t need to worry about anything else.

Jiang Wang could only think of another method.

In any case, with the Knowledge Bell in hand, the hope of returning had greatly increased. He didn’t believe that shaking the Knowledge Bell repeatedly in the God Xiao World wouldn’t reveal a path home.

Of course, all of this was premised on him shaking off the pursuit of the two True Demons, and having the time and space to calmly ring the bell.

A hundred thoughts had already passed through his mind. As he wore through mountains and crossed ridges, Jiang Wang suddenly turned back, his hand on the bronze bell, and his sword in his palm like a rainbow.

He had to first break the tail to hide his form.

Turning Back from the Bitter Sea!

Charging back with a horse spear was a battlefield absolute skill. Jiang Wang was also extremely skilled at creating techniques with his backhand.

But no style had the natural grace of Turning Back from the Bitter Sea.

It was as if he had suddenly awakened, like one who had lost their way and found their way back. It was simply wonderful beyond words.

The timed reaction to the sudden hidden attack in the Ancient Difficult Mountain’s True Pass was achieved by utilizing this body technique.

It was a pity that the Knowledge Bell saw through it completely. The originally solid, emergency defense, like a golden soup, unfortunately turned to ash under the three-flavored true fire of knowledge and sight.

But the body technique was an excellent body technique, and the intent was excellent.

The Knowledge Bell’s insight was clear.

Jiang Wang was never stingy with praising his opponents. Therefore, at this time, he used this technique to launch a counter-chase at Deer Seven Lang!

If Yang Yu had a spirit in heaven, he could consider this a memorial!
