The opponent remained resolute, and Jian Wushuang looked towards Gong Miaoyi, saying indifferently, “It’s the time and fate!”
However, Gong Miaoyi was utterly frenzied. Her eyes glared at Jian Wushuang, and she angrily exclaimed, “Jian Wushuang, stop pretending to be a good person here. You are a complete demon! Be careful with your schemes; you’ll never become Emperor in your entire life!”
These words were a venomous outcry from the depths of her heart.
Never able to become Emperor!
Jian Wushuang’s expression also darkened.
His longing for the position of Emperor, his aspirations for the future Great Dao, enduring a curse that he’d never become Emperor for a lifetime—anyone else would have died a thousand deaths long ago.
Suppressing his rage with all his might, Jian Wushuang closed his eyes.
“Perish!” This time, no one intervened. The serpent of fire, without obstruction, instantly incinerated Nie Yuan’s body through and through, leaving only his divine body and Origin Source.
“No!” Gong Miaoyi screamed heartbreakingly.
They had just recognized each other!
Though Nie Yuan didn’t know what happened between Gong Miaoyi and Jian Wushuang, he guessed that his daughter had been manipulated. This opportunity had been awaited for a long time.
Perhaps, he should have died long ago.
Died in front of his Dao Companion.
Shouldn’t have lingered in this place.
This time, dying for the sake of his daughter was worth it.
Nie Yuan turned slowly, his divine body and Origin Source continuously shattering. He stared calmly at Gong Miaoyi and said, “Miaoyi, live well. No one can harm you, no one…”
Buzz!
A tremendous force erupted from Nie Yuan’s body. The divine body and Origin Source, nearly incinerated, recovered once more.
The divine body also turned golden, and the entire person transformed into a Dao Image.
The tenderness vanished from his eyes, replaced by an imposing aura overlooking the heavens and earth.
“I, Nie Yuan of the Starry Sky lineage, use the Sword Dao of my lineage. Today, I seek a solution through my sword, I ask Senior to grant me a sword to break the enemy!” Nie Yuan bowed with his hands clasped, and a golden light broke through the fabric of time, coming from the end of time.
Buzz!
This time, the entire Qishen Temple trembled.
Starry sky?
Jian Wushuang was greatly alarmed.
Someone else actually knew about the Starry Sky?
He never expected that Nie Yuan, a native Emperor, could have contact with the Starry Sky.
How is that possible?
Moreover, he said he wanted to borrow a sword to defeat the enemy?
Gong Miaoyi showed no surprise, only a reluctance in her eyes.
The supreme-peak figure, however, was quite surprised. Sensing that something was amiss, he wanted to take action, but the next moment, the entire Qishen Temple trembled.
A golden light descended instantly.
Buzz!
In Nie Yuan’s hands was a golden sword radiating the combination of time and space, and the sharpness in his eyes reached its peak.
“Do you think that you alone can kill my daughter?!” The golden Dao Image shouted angrily, and with a single sword swing, the mountain instantly split into two.
The enormous Space Fire Abyssal Mountain was unexpectedly cleaved in half.
A massive crack appeared instantly, and a ray of light shone through.
Outside, it was daytime.
Jian Wushuang stood stunned on the side, slowly lifting his head to look at the sky.
The supreme-peak powerhouse had quietly and silently fallen.
At this moment, the flames were extinguished, and the supreme-peak powerhouse revealed his original appearance. The astonishment in his eyes was beyond words.
He had fallen.
Under this one sword strike, the golden Dao Image also began to collapse, turning into a stone statue.
In the final glance, Nie Yuan always looked at Gong Miaoyi, his eyes filled not with sharpness but warmth.
In fact, there was a great deal of reluctance, but he dared not show it. He was afraid that his daughter would be saddened by his fall.
“Father!” Gong Miaoyi cried, tears streaming down her face. Disregarding everything, she rushed forward and desperately tried to grasp her father’s Origin Source before it disappeared, hoping to detain her father.
Now, she deeply regretted it. It was her fault that her father died.
If only she hadn’t believed the words of Shen Ling, they wouldn’t have sought to silence her.
It was all her fault.
Jian Wushuang, frozen in place, noticed that Nie Yuan’s Origin Source had not completely disappeared. In an instant, he acted, his Life force erupting, instantly restoring him to his peak.
Deep within his hand, the power of devouring erupted instantly, accompanied by a vast amount of Life power, enveloping Nie Yuan’s Origin Source and delaying its fragmentation.
Then the power of devouring was activated, beginning to consume.
He had long coveted Nie Yuan’s Origin Source; now that it was right in front of him, how could he let it slip away?
Moreover, after witnessing the power of that sword strike, he became completely obsessed.
The power of that sword strike probably exceeded the Emperor’s capabilities.
A sword strike that killed a supreme-peak expert and could even split open the Space Fire Abyssal Mountain; this level of power probably reached the level of a Universe Master.
Hiss!
Gong Miaoyi turned her head and looked at Jian Wushuang, who was unexpectedly devouring her father’s Origin Source.
Her face was full of resentment, and she wanted to confront Jian Wushuang with all her might.
But she was no match for Jian Wushuang.
“Hmph!” Jian Wushuang snorted coldly. The Claw of the Candle Dragon directly seized Gong Miaoyi’s neck, and he roared, “If it weren’t for you, Nie Yuan wouldn’t have died. Do you understand?”
She almost ruined his grand plan.
He had to obtain Nie Yuan’s Origin Source; if Nie Yuan were alive, he would have sought to learn from him. Now that Nie Yuan had fallen, he couldn’t just watch it disappear.
The Starry Sky lineage.
Jian Wushuang sighed inwardly. He wondered if he could be considered part of the Starry Sky lineage.
Initially, he had thought that he was the only one to enter the Starry Sky. However, he was surprised to learn that Nie Yuan’s Sword Dao Origin Source also came from the Starry Sky.
The impact of the Starry Sky on him was significant. He mastered the Extreme Dao within the Starry Sky, while Nie Yuan seemed to have grasped the Sword Dao.
The Starry Sky lineage!
Now, he harbored an additional uncertainty in his heart.
If even the natives of the Qishen Temple had been to the Starry Sky, were there others who had visited it, and how did they do it?
Hu Qing?
Jian Wushuang immediately thought of one person.
With just one step, Hu Qing immediately stepped onto the Dao. He had always been suspicious. Later, he accidentally learned that Hu Qing was a reincarnated being. Jian Wushuang hadn’t thought much about it at the time. However, now it seemed that during his moment of enlightenment, Hu Qing might have also entered the Starry Sky, gaining formidable strength after countless cycles of reincarnation.
If it were merely a step onto the Dao, his character wouldn’t have changed so drastically.
Even if it was due to memories from his past life, it wouldn’t be so extreme.
In his previous life, Hu Qing, although also on the Ultimate Dao, had only average potential. In the current context, one could indeed say he had average potential.
The current Hu Qing, compared to his past life and even the entire primitive universe, was a top-notch genius.
In just a short time, he had already reached the level of a tier 6 Emperor, surpassing many old fellows who had practiced for countless eons, quickly catching up with Shang’s pace.
This heaven-defying potential might not be solely due to his past life; it could be related to the Starry Sky.
Nie Yuan was similar.
From Nie Yuan, one could deduce that even though he hadn’t practiced for an entire epoch and was a native Emperor, he had reached his current level.
Without the inheritance, Nie Yuan’s potential in the Four Great Secret Realms would undoubtedly make him a top-notch genius.
At the peak-level of tier 5, comparable to the combat power of a tier 6 Emperor, born in less than an epoch.
The Starry Sky!
Jian Wushuang yearned for it.
The Qishen Temple provided substantial assistance, but giving birth to the Starry Sky represented an aspiration for the future. That place was the cradle of the strong.
