Chapter 2321 A Calm Mind Amidst Fierce Battle
The Imperial State overlooks the star system.
In a certain location within the eerie black mist, Zhi Xi and Mu Cangyan engaged in a fierce battle.
When they fought on the other side, it took hundreds of years to determine a winner.
The key issue is that Mu Cangyan is hiding and avoiding direct confrontation in order to maintain the overall situation.
Now that the overall situation is settled, there is nothing left to worry about.
Mu Cangyan's aura and Daoist principles underwent a slight change, as if he had entered another dimension and broken free from the control of the Divine Continent's rules. However, this feeling was extremely faint, almost imperceptible, and not particularly strong.
Perhaps he only touched upon something beyond the ultimate path, without truly seeing it clearly.
Even so, it still surpasses countless ancient emperors, achieving immense accomplishments and looking down upon all ages.
"Xi, as a sign of respect, I will not show any mercy."
Mu Cangyan's power continued to rise, and the surrounding void kept cracking and then reforming.
The dense aura of the Path of Annihilation clung to his body, containing a terrifying power capable of annihilating and withering all living things.
hum!
The Yin-Yang Mirror floated to Mu Cangyan's left. Its surface resembled the scene at the beginning of chaos, containing the principles of Yin and Yang and enveloping the profound mysteries of the cycle of life and death.
"Come!"
Zhi Xi had no reason to back down. Her eyes were like the moon reflected in a deep pool. Her hands were adorned with Yunhua Sushuang, pure white and flawless. Each thread was wrapped with a wisp of extreme cold, protecting her hands and enhancing the power of her physical skills.
Before Mu Cangyan could make a move, Zhixi launched the first attack.
Without any further conversation, Zhixi took a step forward, causing the surrounding void to tremble and the eerie black mist to surge violently.
She threw a simple punch, without revealing a trace of dazzling light, only the purest power in the world. The power of her punch was like the explosion of ten thousand stars, as if it could blast open this universe.
Boom! Boom!
Mu Cangyan immediately activated the surging imperial might within his body. With a thought, he manipulated the Yin-Yang Ancient Mirror, causing it to instantly enlarge and stand upright in front of him, resembling a horizontal chaotic abyss that swallowed Zhi Xi's world-suppressing punch.
Having withstood Zhi Xi's punch, Mu Cangyan immediately launched a counterattack.
"Tianchu!"
Although Mu Cangyan's face was covered in sores, he exuded an extraordinary aura of dominance.
The Yin-Yang Mirror, which had originally turned into a chaotic abyss, suddenly emitted a white rainbow from its central area, locking onto Zhi Xi like a venomous snake and piercing through the sea of mist.
The Yin-Yang Mirror was fully activated, and a trace of power from the highest level was also used.
Clearly, Mu Cangyan wanted to suppress Zhixi as quickly as possible and control the situation to avoid any unforeseen complications.
Knowing that great danger lay ahead, Yu Di did not hide.
Since it has chosen to stand with Zhixi through thick and thin, it cannot back down.
Clang! Buzzing!
The jade flute took the initiative, attacking from the flank towards Mu Cangyan. Its power was like a celestial river pouring down, its momentum overwhelming.
On the body of the flute, mysterious patterns flowed and divine light splashed, merging with the ultimate rules of annihilation.
However, Mu Cangyan blocked Yu Di's all-out attack with a simple wave of her hand. With a light wave, Yu Di's attack vanished without a trace.
At the same moment, the destructive power of the Yin-Yang Realm had already reached Zhi Xi.
Faced with this scene, Zhixi remained expressionless, her indifference unchanged.
She remained as composed as ever, her lips like the sunset, possessing both alluring charm and aloof coldness. Her eyes were like deep abysses, reaching into the underworld, and her entire being was enveloped in a chilling aura that seemed to freeze everything around her.
Instead of retreating, she advanced, clenching her right fist.
clang!
Clench your fist and strike!
Face it head-on, and remain calm and composed.
As Zhixi threw her punch, the sky in front of her crumbled inch by inch, destroying everything in its path, and suddenly revealing a huge ravine that seemed to stretch endlessly.
The next moment, the power of the fist collided with the annihilation rules of the Yin-Yang Ancient Mirror.
A bizarre scene unfolded: when the two clashed, there was no longer the earth-shattering sound of laws exploding, nor the dazzling burst of mysterious light.
The extreme silence conveyed a tranquility that defied common sense.
A moment later, although there was a slight fluctuation in the space, it was very weak, at most like a gentle breeze, causing the hair at the temples to sway slightly, adding a touch of ethereal mystery and concealing an unknown and eerie feeling.
A few breaths later, a huge vortex of rules formed at the point of clash, devouring the surrounding black mist and erasing the extreme ferocity of the two.
Boom!
Immediately afterwards, the balance of the vortex of rules was broken, and it suddenly exploded, shattering the void within a radius of over a million miles.
Both Zhixi and Mu Cangyan were impacted and staggered backward.
Mu Cangyan only retreated a few steps, while Zhixi retreated more than a hundred feet.
Furthermore, Zhixi's breathing was slightly disordered, and the blood in her body was flowing backward, almost spilling from her mouth, but she managed to suppress it.
"This is... the power beyond the ultimate path."
Even a tiny fraction of it transcends the mundane world, reaching a height that countless emperors could not climb even with their entire lives' efforts.
Gazing ahead, Zhixi remained calm, her eyes deep and unwavering.
She was clearly at a disadvantage, yet there was no fear on her face. From the moment she stepped into the eerie black mist, she had already prepared herself to die in battle.
If she were to face certain death in battle, she would drag Mu Cangyan down to hell with her, or at the very least, she would tear a chunk of flesh from him, ensuring that no one would have an easy time.
call out!
Mu Cangyan pressed his advantage, not wanting to give Zhixi any time to catch her breath. In a flash, he appeared in front of Zhixi, thrusting his palm forward. The rules of annihilation surrounding his palm surged out like a raging flood, vast and unstoppable.
Zhixi responded in the same way: she threw punches to take the blows.
Doom!
Once again, a direct confrontation tore through the void of this realm, shaking the boundless galaxy. The impact was so vast that the order of the adjacent star system collapsed instantly, and countless lifeless stars exploded like fireworks, shining brightly and displaying their final brilliance.
With a wisp of power that transcended the rules of the Emperor's Way, Mu Cangyan clearly held the advantage.
Watching Zhi Xi fight back with all her might, Mu Cangyan felt a special sense of accomplishment. He recalled that back then, whenever he saw Zhi Xi, he had to keep his distance to avoid a conflict and trouble.
During the era when he attained enlightenment and reached the pinnacle, Mu Cangyan felt quite frustrated.
Now, Zhixi, who was once a nightmare in his heart, has been firmly suppressed by him. It would be impossible for him not to have any emotional ups and downs.
"Mu Cangyan, is this all you've got?"
Zhi Xi resolved her predicament by using her hand as a knife to cleave a huge rift in front of her, confronting Mu Cangyan from afar. The supreme power of the two clashed violently, causing space to reverse and all paths to collapse.
Seeing Zhixi's proud and unyielding demeanor, Mu Cangyan sighed inwardly.
He muttered to himself, "Crazy woman."
On second thought, if Zhixi were to change her personality one day, it would be unsettling.
It was precisely because of Zhi Xi's aloofness and pride that Mu Cangyan developed an extremely strong desire to conquer her.
Immediately, a hint of bloodlust appeared in Mu Cangyan's eyes, and his aura intensified further.
