Master of Heaven and Earth - Chapter 112 - Escape

Third Brother couldn’t find Leng Yan anywhere and instinctively stepped back, spreading out his spiritual awareness to search for Leng Yan’s traces. Just then, he suddenly sensed the sound of wind behind him and quickly turned around, but there was still no sign of Leng Yan. However, Third Brother was sure someone was nearby, so he swung his knife towards the Void.

“Boom!”

With a loud explosion, the green poison fog suddenly dispersed. Third Brother was caught off guard and got hit by the poison fog, yelling, “Poison fog!”

He quickly took out an elixir, ready to put it in his mouth, but he had forgotten about another hidden danger: Leng Yan who was concealed in the Void.

All along, Leng Yan could have hidden in the immortal land and infiltrated the area. However, the immortal land couldn’t be taken out openly. Although Xuelan had been helping him fiercely during the journey, their acquaintance was still too brief, and Leng Yan believed that many people were watching the events unfolding here. Therefore, despite the numerous dangers, he chose not to use the immortal land.

It had been the same just moments ago; Leng Yan only used the concealment seal to disrupt Third Brother and took the opportunity to let the queen bee out to launch a surprise attack.

As expected, without a target, Third Brother attacked upon sensing any unusual movement of the wind, while Leng Yan had urged the Asura to trigger the queen bee’s self-destruct.

The self-detonation of the unification realm posed no threat to the heaven and earth dharma form, but the real danger was the poison fog within the giant bee.

After being hit by the poison fog, Third Brother hastily began to detoxify, giving Leng Yan the chance to strike with deadly force.

The Immortal-Slaying Sword unleashed a wave of killing intent, which startled Third Brother, who was in the middle of taking an elixir. It was only then that he remembered the true threat was Leng Yan.

But by the time he reacted, it was too late; Leng Yan’s Immortal-Slaying Sword had already severed his head, and Leng Yan went even further, smashing the head with a punch.

However, Leng Yan had also overlooked the fact that Third Brother, as a cultivator, had refined his soul into a primordial spirit, which was much stronger than an ordinary soul!

Amidst the blood mist, Third Brother’s primordial spirit frantically fled. Leng Yan was momentarily stunned; he had not expected his punch would fail to disperse Third Brother’s primordial spirit. Just as he was about to pursue, he heard Xuelan’s voice calling out, “Leave this person to me; you go help her!”

Leng Yan turned to see Xuelan arriving, followed by Dongfang Caiyun, Fat Guy, and Shui Ruyan.

Dongfang Caiyun was initially very happy to hear that Leng Yan had returned, but her joy quickly turned to worry when she learned that he had entered the underlands. Without a second thought, she decided to follow him. Fat Guy, who had once vowed to stand by Leng Yan’s side, also brought along his own gathered forces to support him.

Shui Ruyan had not planned to make an appearance, but with so many disciples suddenly showing up, she knew that if she stayed out of it, she might face some consequences, even with the protection of the Elders within the sect. So, she helped Xuelan kill the king snake and rushed over.

Leng Yan saw that Xuelan had already chased after Third Brother’s primordial spirit and turned to Shui Yunyao, saying, “Yunyao, I’m here to help you!”

In an instant, Leng Yan was at Shui Yunyao’s side, forcing a demon cultivator back with his sword. Then, he shattered twenty primordial spirit elixirs with a palm strike, injecting their essence power into Shui Yunyao’s body.

Shui Yunyao had already exhausted her essence power, holding on only by sheer will. At that moment, receiving Leng Yan’s essence power was like parched grass encountering dew; her complexion immediately became rosy, and her strength began to rise to a level capable of defying the heavens and changing fate.

“Leng Yan, thank you!” Shui Yunyao said with tears in her eyes, smiling at him.

“You are my woman; no one can bully you!” Leng Yan declared firmly.

The scene unfolded before Dongfang Caiyun’s eyes, and a wave of sorrow surged within her. “So, Shui Yunyao is the one he loves. I am completely inferior to her!”

“Now is not the time for romance. I’ll send you to hell; you’ll have plenty of time to linger there!” The leading demon cultivator sensed the tide turning against him and quickly retreated, suddenly shattering a jade slip in his hand.

As the jade slip shattered, a powerful force of the void tribulation erupted, and a massive skull appeared in the air, flying towards Leng Yan and Shui Yunyao.

“Void tribulation spell! He still has a trick up his sleeve; Leng Yan, you must run!” Shui Yunyao exclaimed in alarm, attempting to push Leng Yan away.

But Leng Yan was quicker, pulling Shui Yunyao into his embrace just as the netherworld ghost banner flew out. Long Tian’s protective seal quickly formed around them.

“With me here, I won’t let you get hurt again!” Under the protection of the azure dragon, the enormous skull couldn’t harm either of them. Leng Yan looked down at Shui Yunyao in his arms, speaking softly yet firmly.

“Run!” The leading demon cultivator, seeing that Leng Yan also had protection spells against the void tribulation, felt that his last hope had been shattered. He shouted loudly and began to fly backward, with the other two quickly following him as they fled toward the fifth layer.

“Think you can escape? It’s too late!” Shui Yunyao was not someone to be underestimated. Now filled with essence power and having reached a realm capable of defying the heavens and changing fate, she had her own territory. There was no way these three could get away.

After reaching the unification realm, the difference in power between each layer of cultivation was immense, and the gap between the heaven and earth dharma form and the ability to defy the heavens was even greater. It was evident from the fact that Shui Yunyao, despite having exhausted her essence power, was able to single-handedly battle three cultivators at the heaven and earth dharma form.

Stepping out of Leng Yan’s embrace, Shui Yunyao waved her hand, instantly freezing the passage leading to the sixth layer. Suddenly, her blue hair began to float as if stirred by an unseen wind. Then, a single strand of hair detached from Shui Yunyao’s head, resembling a rope as it chased after the three fleeing cultivators.

“Brothers, we have to fight her!” The leading demon cultivator shouted, realizing there was no way back. His expression showed he was ready to make a desperate stand.

One of Shui Yunyao’s strands of hair swiftly floated in front of the three. With a loud “Boom!” that blue strand instantaneously turned to dust. The blue powder emitted a radiant glow in the dark underlands.

The three didn’t know what kind of move Shui Yunyao had unleashed and watched the powder with heightened vigilance. But just then, Shui Yunyao vanished from her spot, and the blue powder suddenly transformed into her likeness, with a light blue whip swiftly striking out.

At such a close distance, the three had no time to evade. A sharp “Crack!” echoed as the head of the demon cultivator at the later stage of the heaven and earth dharma form exploded, becoming a mist of blood. Just as his primordial spirit attempted to flee, another whip crack was heard, and the spirit disintegrated, vanishing entirely!

“Ah! No, please don’t kill me! Spare me!” The remaining two demon cultivators, witnessing their leader’s rapid demise, knelt before her in terror, pleading for their lives.

“It’s too late!”

Shui Yunyao sighed softly, but the long whip in her hand moved like a spirit snake, cracking loudly as two more resounding “Pops!” echoed, causing the heads of the two demon cultivators to explode.

“This! While the realm of defying the heavens and changing fate can easily kill cultivators at the heaven and earth dharma form, it shouldn’t be possible to do so in a single strike… could it be…?” Shui Ruyan’s face turned pale as she suddenly realized that this was a trap, and she was just like the deceased disciples of the Demon Sect-a pawn in someone else’s game.

Indeed, while Shui Yunyao had reached the realm of defying the heavens and changing fate, her strength was already comparable to that of a void profundity cultivator. The trap was designed to eliminate her, but due to certain constraints, they could only send demon cultivators at the heaven and earth dharma form after her.

“It’s done!” Shui Yunyao turned back to Leng Yan, smiling innocently. With her blue hair flowing, she appeared more like an ethereal fairy-so perfect and pure.

Leng Yan felt a sense of relief; Shui Yunyao was finally out of danger. However, this relief caused his head to spin, and his body began to sway uncontrollably. Suddenly, cracks appeared all over his face and body, with blood seeping out from these fissures.

“Leng Yan, what’s wrong? Leng Yan!” Shui Yunyao rushed to his side, her face filled with concern as she shouted anxiously.

But Leng Yan had already lost consciousness, his mind blanketed in white.

The reason for Leng Yan’s condition was the excessive toll of the sacrificial power he had drawn upon, compounded by the triple battle strength obtained through his battle faith. Even his robust body could not withstand such strain.

All along, Leng Yan had been suppressing the backlash, but now that Shui Yunyao was safe, he let his guard down, allowing the backlash to erupt and his body to break apart.

Fortunately, Leng Yan’s skin was only cracked, and while his meridians were damaged, they hadn’t completely ruptured. If they had, it would mean the end for him!

However, this battle had made Leng Yan’s name recognized among the various sects on Wugang Star, with disciples from the Five Elements Sect considering him the undisputed top genius of their sect.

Meanwhile, while outsiders exaggerated and celebrated Leng Yan’s astonishing feats, Shui Yunyao, Dongfang Caiyun, and Xuelan were all worried about him, as he had been in a deep coma for an entire half a month.

Just a quarter of an hour after Leng Yan fell unconscious, a thousand experts from the Lansi tribe, led by three Elders of the void tribulation realm, arrived and declared war on the Demon Sect. Shortly after, the Lansi tribe launched another assault with a thousand more individuals, severely damaging the Demon Sect, which was left in a state of despair!
