Chapter 376 The World Collapses
Snapped!
The snake staff in Zhou Nanchu's hand exploded inch by inch, splitting into thousands of bluish-gray lightning bolts.
As a top-tier magical artifact, the Serpent Staff has been refined over a thousand years and is a treasure passed down from the ancestors of Hongxing Cliff to protect the mountain.
With this divine artifact that can be used for both offense and defense, the pharmacists of Red Apricot Cliff also gained the ability to protect themselves.
The pharmacist has never been good at offensive warfare, especially dislikes skirmishes.
The only option is to set up traps in advance, planting various pitfalls where the enemy will engage.
It only takes effect after the other party steps in.
With the Serpent Staff, the successive leaders of Red Apricot Cliff were able to break free from restrictions and unleash powerful forces at any time.
Even if they encountered a saint of the same realm, Hongxing Cliff would still have the strength to fight.
But now, this incredibly precious serpent staff has been blasted to pieces.
This also shows how powerful the sword energy of Zhan Yincao is!
"How fierce!" Si Chun couldn't help but tremble with fear.
The Zan Yin Grass was exceptionally aggressive and had cultivated to the Saint Realm, transforming into human form.
The power it unleashes in an instant is enough to terrify anyone of the same cultivation level!
If it were an ordinary holy realm, without the protection of the serpent staff...
They'll probably be chopped into minced meat in an instant, completely defenseless!
Every cultivator in the Tribulation Yuan Palace is powerful, and the master of the Wisdom Furnace is even more formidable.
This is just a pharmacist; if those sword cultivators were to make their move, who knows if the power would be even greater.
Si Chun was terrified. She was far too insignificant on this battlefield to attract Zhan Yincao's attention.
If the sword energy had been slightly off-center, several of them would have flown over.
I'm afraid that I, along with Su Yun beside me, will be reduced to ashes.
shhhhhh!
The sword energy that cut through the Yin grass filled the sky, falling like stars.
The serpent staff shattered, kicking up clouds of dust.
But soon, it was covered by more sword energy and cut away until it dissipated.
"You old hag!" Zhou Nanchu's face was extremely ugly. He erected a barrier and struggled to hold on.
His heart was bleeding; the ancestral treasure of Hongxing Cliff, the Exiled Savior, was lost.
The ancestral snake staff also exploded.
Now, only Hongxingyuan remains, which can barely be considered an asset.
"Since you won't let me live, then let's die together!"
Zhou Nanchu roared, frantically making hand seals.
Instantly, streaks of light swirled around his fingertips.
Upon hearing the scolding and seeing what kind of power the other party was preparing, Zhan Yincao immediately launched an even more rapid and fierce attack.
But it was all too late; Zhou Nanchu had already recited the final incantation.
He suddenly looked up, his eyes bloodshot and filled with hatred: "I was hoping to share the Heavenly Maiden, but you're not destined for that!"
On the enormous leaves of the Zan Yin Grass, the pupils also contracted slightly.
She felt like she'd heard that title somewhere before...
Zhou Nanchu turned his head to look at Su Yun, who had been standing to the side, and gritted his teeth: "The Demon Lord that the Heavenly Maiden spoke of is nothing but a mere child."
"Keeping you around is useful, but you're far too dangerous!"
"Leaving a sacred herb from the holy realm to accompany you in death is not too much to ask!"
Swish.
With a wave of his hand, the space rippled.
Zhan Yincao seemed to sense something and suddenly unleashed a huge sword aura.
Whoosh!
That enormous sword energy seemed capable of tearing apart the sky and severing time and space.
It roared and pressed down hard on Zhou Nanchu.
But it was already too late.
hum!
The sword energy seemed to freeze, suddenly stopping in mid-air.
Sword intent constantly surged from above, capable of shattering anything, whether tangible or intangible.
But no matter how much it roars, it remains frozen in place forever.
At this moment, it lost its sense of direction.
The entire space was in chaos, so no matter how you flew, you could not reach the destination.
At the same time, Zhan Yincao felt a surge of anxiety.
She wanted to unleash a second, massive sword aura, but her enormous body, which seemed to pierce the heavens and earth, suddenly froze.
"What have you done!" Zhan Yincao's angry voice rang out.
Zhou Nanchu sneered: "Why is the furnace master asking such a childish question?"
Zhan Yincao was even more furious: "You're insane! Do you know what the price will be!"
Zhou Nanchu's smile grew even colder: "You don't need to worry about that."
"The furnace master can just wait to die, while we have much more to think about."
Qinxin and Qingyun cried out anxiously, "Master!"
They tried to turn around, but found their bodies were also frozen, as if they were suspended in mid-air.
No matter how I twist it, it won't move an inch!
"This..." the two women exclaimed in shock, "It's not spatial magic?"
"It's global suppression!"
They instantly realized that Zhou Nanchu had used the power of the Red Apricot Garden Secret Realm!
Rumble!
The entire space trembled, and all the wind within the secret realm stopped.
At this moment, all trajectories became invalid, and every object came to a stop.
The entire secret realm is under suppression.
The power of a world is enough to render everything immobile!
A look of seriousness finally appeared in Zhan Yincao's enormous eyes: "Zhou Nanchu, you are ruthless!"
Zhou Nanchu sneered: "You forced this upon me!"
The will of the world can be large or small; for the strong, it is not something completely unattainable.
Especially in small secret realms, because they are so small, every action taken inside can affect the entire world.
The strong, on the other hand, can communicate with the will of the world through methods to achieve mutually beneficial and interdependent results.
For example, Hongxing Cliff, through meticulous management, obtains the protection of a secret realm.
They continuously cultivate spiritual herbs and bring in more substances from the outside world to strengthen and nourish the Heavenly Dao of this place.
The world will naturally be willing to accept such hardworking laborers.
As long as the other party's request is reasonable, a deal can be reached.
For example, Hongxingyuan is exclusive; those who are not invited are not allowed to enter.
Those ordinary disciples of the Tribulation Yuan Palace who forcibly try to enter will be crushed into blood and gore by the world.
Only those with greater strength can infiltrate the secret realm using their own power.
This is like a small building; the manager is happy to see outsiders build it up beautifully, saving on maintenance costs.
With good communication, you can give the key to the other person and invite them into the small building to receive shelter or practice spirituality.
However, if a building is too large, such as an entire city, even if one of its smaller buildings is well maintained, it will not attract the attention of the city lord.
This is similar to a large domain, where even saints cannot communicate with the Heavenly Dao.
In the eyes of the world's will of a large domain, even the Holy Realm is nothing more than an ant.
Only an emperor who can truly demolish an entire city will attract the attention of the world's will.
Hongxingyuan has been managed by Hongxingya for many years, so there is naturally good communication between them.
The bonds built up over the past come in handy when life and death are at stake.
Under the suppression of the world's will, neither Zhan Yincao nor Qin Xin and Qing Yun could move a single finger.
Zhou Nanchu waved his hand gently, and streams of light shot into the sky, quickly passing through the secret realm and arriving outside.
He sneered, "You can just wait here to die. I'll come back in a few days to collect your corpse!"
Zhou Nanchu communicated with the will of the world and dedicated everything in Red Apricot Cliff to the secret realm.
The price was the preservation of some people and some property.
Ninety-nine percent of the people and belongings in the sect are disposable items.
As long as those precious things are preserved, Hongxing Cliff can make a comeback and continue its glory.
This Sacred Realm Master can be left as food for the World Will.
If there are any leftover scraps, I wouldn't mind using them as green manure to grow more medicinal herbs!
"As long as the Heavenly Maiden is still here, Red Apricot Cliff can be rebuilt!"
Although Lin Ying'er caused heavy losses to Hongxing Cliff, it also proved that what she said was true.
The information she provided not only existed, but was even more accurate.
Those things could even stir up destiny, causing the chosen one and the demon lord, who shouldn't have risen so early, to appear together.
Hongxingya suffered many losses, but she also understood the principle of taking risks.
As long as the intelligence is true, no matter how much is lost, it can be made up for later.
With time, we can always find a way to counter it.
If Zhe Shawei is confident she can take it back, then those strange and unusual opportunities are even more likely.
Zhou Nanchu glanced at Su Yun as well: "Perfect, let's leave him here."
He was unwilling to take action against Su Yun, partly because he was wary of the powerful figure behind him, and partly because he knew that Su Yun had a bright future ahead of him.
Damaging it will inevitably lead to a backlash from fate.
If it attracts strange and powerful individuals, that would be even worse.
But now it's not me who's taking action, it's the secret realm!
The secret realm's self-suppression is none of my business.
Surely he can't communicate with the secret realm and recognize it as his master in such a short time?
Zhou Nanchu shook his head, causing the air around him to ripple.
The enemy should stay here and wait to die, while I am leaving!
At this moment, Qinxin asked anxiously, "Master, what should we do?"
Qingyun also gathered his spiritual power: "Master, I'm here to help you escape this predicament!"
Their bodies shimmered with spiritual light, attempting to open a new spatial gate and send their master out of the Red Apricot Garden.
Even entering the Swamp of the Dead would be better than staying here.
The world's will does not have so many emotions and desires, nor does it have a clear will itself.
Communicating with them only allows for a rough understanding, followed by exerting influence in a vague manner.
Hongxingya has been operating this place for many years and is already familiar with how to communicate with Hongxingyuan.
It is so difficult to establish contact with them; it is simply impossible in a short time!
Therefore, no matter what the two did, the portal could not be opened.
Once the world's will begins to suppress, even spacetime will stagnate and fall into turbulence.
Seeing the two growing increasingly anxious, Zhan Yincao's enormous eyes revealed a hint of relief: "I am very pleased that you are so dedicated."
"No matter what, I will take you out."
Qinxin and Qingyun exchanged a glance, both seeing the joy in each other's eyes.
Their power is insignificant in the face of the Holy Realm.
Whether they can leave Hongxingyuan depends on whether Chengbi has any backup plans.
Therefore, the best approach is to make them happy as much as possible.
Based on past affections and a commitment to each other's life.
Take both of them and leave this place.
Suddenly, a tremendous suction force came.
The two women swayed and flew uncontrollably toward Zhan Yincao.
Qingyun was overjoyed: "Senior sister, Master is going to take us..."
Before they finished speaking, their expressions changed drastically.
Qin Xin let out a heart-wrenching wail: "Master, why did you break your promise!"
Zhan Yincao regained his previous coldness: "I keep my word. I said I would take you out, and I will!"
"But... in a different way."
Wow!
The immense suction force pierced through the world's suppression, causing the two women to fall towards the Zan Yin Grass.
Along the way, their skin collapsed, revealing bodies entwined by roots, stems, and veins.
These two women were actually tree spirits!
They share the same roots as Cheng Bi; they are actually two seedlings that fell from the same mother plant!
At this moment, Zhan Yincao, or rather Cheng Bi, utilizes the connection between bloodlines.
They temporarily broke through the world's suppression and absorbed both of them before them.
Then--
boom!
The two women let out unbelievable screams as their bodies suddenly disintegrated.
It transforms into fine lines that penetrate the body of the jade-green plant.
Immediately, this enormous spiritual herb that permeated heaven and earth became ethereal.
A massive spatial gate faintly appeared before her.
It was pitch black outside the door, and I had no idea where it led.
But at least, it allows one to escape the constant suppression of the Red Apricot Garden!
Qinxin and Qingyun fell off Chengbi and, as her apprentices, provided cover and assistance.
The two of them had achieved something in the art of space, so after being absorbed, they were immediately able to break through space and contact the outside world.
The space around Zhan Yincao is not connected to Hongxingyuan, so even if the world's will wants to suppress it, it will take time.
And this amount of time was enough for Cheng Bi to leave.
The plant has little emotion; in order to grow, it can endlessly seize sunlight, rain, water, and nutrients.
The death of fellow human beings cannot stir the slightest emotion in him.
Cheng Bi could have left, but she suddenly turned the leaf away, her huge eyes looking to the other side.
The next instant, Zhou Nanchu let out a muffled groan, followed by a furious roar: "Cheng Bi!"
A sword aura, as clear as jade, pierced deeply into the opponent's body. His expression was icy: "You want me to die? Then I'll let you die first."
Revenge is secondary; the main reason is that Zhou Nanchu is weak, and eliminating him now would allow us to acquire another sacred treasure.
Zhou Nanchu roared, "Not leaving? Then we'll all die together!"
He hadn't expected Cheng Bi to have such a backup plan.
Indeed, every furnace master is extraordinary.
Saints are inherently difficult to kill, and as the furnace master, they are even more difficult to perish.
Zhou Nanchu stirred up the world's will, hoping to suppress the rebellion to a greater extent.
Cheng Bi said coldly, "This trick is useless now. Unless the world collapses, I can leave at any time!"
She sacrificed her two strongest offspring, gaining the ability to briefly travel through space.
Within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Cheng Bi was able to withstand the oppression of the world and leave the Red Apricot Garden.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Nanchu's expression changed drastically.
The will of the world cannot be suppressed; there is no point in staying.
And the world collapses?
Even the smallest domain cannot be easily shaken.
Emperor, who dares to say they can destroy a world?
Zhou Nanchu gritted his teeth: "Fine, the green hills remain unchanged, and the clear waters flow on forever."
"Let's wait and see!"
He finally communicated with the world's will, hoping to use past connections to help him escape through the portal.
Si Chun asked anxiously, "Young Master Su, what should we do?"
How do we leave?
She was also suppressed by the will of the world and could not move.
Although he wasn't crushed into bloody foam, his spiritual energy was now severely restricted.
Si Chun never expected that she would escape one danger only to fall into another.
Zhou Nanchu fought a fierce battle with Cheng Bi, thinking he could escape this calamity.
Unexpectedly, this has triggered the will of the world, and now, regardless of friend or foe, a total annihilation has begun.
Si Chun was extremely anxious. She racked her brains but couldn't find a way to leave.
If Cheng Bi has no backup plan, even the Holy Realm will be left behind.
Let alone ordinary supreme beings like them?
Just then, Su Yun blinked and asked, "Why are you leaving?"
