Chapter 2355: Battle at the Edge of the World

Random recommendation:

"Seems so!" Lou Yue’s curled lip finally formed a smile, and then his figure vanished.

The pressure he brought seemed to linger in the same spot.

In contrast, inside the Qingping Le Wine House, Bamboo Biqiong and Qin Zhen wore varied expressions.

"Shall we go see?" Bamboo Biqiong asked.

"You go to the Mirage Realm first," Qin Zhen said, making a cut with her fingers and pinching open a spatial rift, lifting this space as if lifting a piece of paper. Underneath the thin paper was a bizarre and colorful flow of shadows – the Mirage Realm was right here.

For a Divine Arrival Realm prodigy like Bamboo Biqiong, the Mirage Realm was now a relatively stable place. No matter how the situation near the sea changed, it wouldn’t affect that side.

She casually pushed Bamboo Biqiong into the Mirage Realm. Then, with a light flick of her sleeve and a slight movement of her lotus steps, she appeared in the high sky above Huai Island, in front of Tianya Platform.

This trip was only as a spectator, from a considerable distance. She cut the sky as her seat, sitting on the edge of a cloud. Looking down –

Lou Yue in his tiger-patterned robe, and Tian Anping draped in thin clothes, were already facing each other here.

Lou Yue was a man of extremely vigorous vitality, like a fierce volcano, while Tian Anping was like a dry well.

These two people merely facing each other embodied a kind of contradiction, a pleasing scene to behold.

Earlier, East Heavenly Master Song Huai and Duke Cao Ji, who had left, as the highest responsible persons for Qi Jing on the sea, also rushed back at this time and stood again on Tianya Platform.

Standing side by side on the high cliff edge, they gazed into the sky and swallowed sea in the distance.

Two absolute peak experts had vastly different moods.

“Dark clouds press the sky, a storm is coming,” Cao Ji sighed, looking at the dark and gloomy sky, then turned back and said to Song Huai in a very mild tone, “It seems we cannot leave here.”

The broken fishing rod on the statue of the Fishing Dragon Guest next to them still hadn’t been repaired – at this moment, no one on Huai Island cared about it.

“What storm? I don’t see one yet.” Song Huai pointed a finger, and in an instant, the dark clouds dissipated, and brilliant light plunged into the sea. Heaven and earth were opened with a single finger.

Cao Ji shook his head, paying no attention to this childish behavior.

Song Huai didn’t let him off the hook, pointing again at the expressionless Tian Anping in the high sky, and asked Cao Ji, “What does this count as? Qi Country’s declaration of war against Jing Country? And initiated by this Tian Anping, true person against true person? When do we engage?”

Cao Ji was not as aggressive as him, only saying flatly, “Heavenly Master adult, why be anxious? Let’s first listen to what our Cut Rain Commander has to say.”

Time had just moved from noon to shen hour, and the near sea, which had just been filled with brilliant sunlight, was now covered with stars.

It seemed as if it were providing a backdrop for this confrontation.

The period of heaven and earth crumbling was indeed inauspicious.

Suspended outside Tianya Platform once again, Lou Yue in the high sky also felt inevitably complex. But his feelings had no relation to the person called Tian Anping in front of him.

He was here to raise the curtain on the Nine Sons Town Sea. He was also here, at the moment he was about to step onto the Middle Ancient Heavenly Road, when he witnessed the collapse of the Middle Ancient Heavenly Road. He had to delay his plan of proving the Dao with ultimate force yet again.

Although it was only one step away, how many years had been wasted!

"Two questions." He looked at Tian Anping opposite him, not at all angry, more with a feeling of absurdity. He raised a finger: "First, what crime do you have to question me, Lou Yue?"

Then he raised the second finger: "Second, are you, Tian Anping, enough?"

You are also a true person, I am also a true person. But among the cave true ones of the world, there is a gap like mud and clouds!

Including Lou Yue, many people were seeing Tian Anping himself for the first time.

This fierce figure, rumored to be grotesquely shaped and strange-looking, with a green face and fangs, now stood there quietly, even having a somewhat warm and polite appearance. Where was the bloody butcher?

But as soon as he opened his mouth, you knew that this person was different from anyone you had seen before.

Facing the arrogance of the Middle Domain’s first true, he only curled his mouth open: "Since you, Lou Yue, claim seniority and speak to this extent… then I will first answer your second question!"

His two hands, tied with broken chains, were lifted simultaneously, flattening towards the middle, as if embracing something.

Black veins pulsed on his forehead.

Rumble!

With Lou Yue as the center, the space of about ten zhang square around where he was standing, as if a square large crystal, was "taken" out of the larger space. A true person’s body stands firm like a mountain. At this moment, the person and the space were even moved together, almost removed from the present world!

Don’t ask what crime you have, first tell me if I can handle you!

Crack crack crack!

Tian Anping remotely moved the two hands controlling the space inwards and pressed. This block of space again emitted sharp cracking sounds. Inside the crystal-like space, cracks wound like lightning serpents, instantly covering this square.

Secret method · Move Dragon!

Tian Anping unexpectedly did not speak of cause and effect, but directly struck at Lou Yue!

Too lazy to waste words, just kill him!

Great country etiquette, thrown to one side. Successive dynasties' tacit agreement, regarded as waste paper.

Truly a self-willed guy.

Song Huai frowned at this instant, but only stood there quietly, without a word.

And Cao Ji beside him also only pursed his lips, finally standing firm at the cliff edge. His originally bitter face, settling down like this again, clearly showed grievance.

No matter for what reason Tian Anping made his move, as the Duke of Qi Country, he could not let Song Huai interfere. But for the same reason, Song Huai could not let him have a chance to be biased – letting Tian Anping and Lou Yue clash, was there really a chance of victory in this battle?

Regarding this battle, his understanding of the situation was no more than Song Huai’s; he had no idea what Tian Anping was here to do. Even concerning Tian Anping’s own strength, he didn’t have a very profound understanding.

Song Huai, at least, had confidence in Lou Yue's strength!

With his battle experience, this kind of situation where both eyes are black is the most uncomfortable. You often lose without knowing how you lost, and winning is entirely dependent on luck. This is precisely what "famous generals do not contend with" means. If Tian Anping hadn’t already started, he would habitually want to retreat three she first, strategically observing.

Now he couldn't forcefully suppress Tian Anping and extinguish his own people’s morale, he could only watch first!

Returning to the matter at hand, that ten zhang square space, originally full of Lou Yue’s unconsciously scattered qi energy. At this moment, it was fixed in place, full of cracks, and then shattered!

Like a square hole dug out in the space of the present world.

With countless space fragments flying up and down as a backdrop, Lou Yue stood among them, everything vaguely hazy.

Tian Anping directly moved and smashed the space, actually creating a piece of void in the present world.

But Lou Yue's figure quickly cleared up in the void, his eyebrows and eyes lifted high, his posture disdainful, as if looking at Tian Anping from outside the world.

The entire piece of space was smashed, yet it caused him no damage. His body here had already survived ten thousand tribulations!

He just watched Tian Anping come over with big strides, and then lifted a big hand –

"Boy!"

Five fingers spread out like covering the sky and ground, just pressing down towards Tian Anping.

However, the next moment –

Splash splash!

Chains shook!

After that square space shattered, the space fragments flew in all directions. But in the winding cracks of space, void gaps became clear, turning into solid lines, and the cracks became chains! These chains appeared and immediately bound Lou Yue’s just opened big hand, binding it back onto his majestic body.

Strip after strip of chains quickly interwoven on Lou Yue’s body, layer upon layer, soon binding him like a zongzi.

Forbidden method · Void Born Tribulation Gap!

Mixed with the evil tribulation force from space cracks, it became this eternal tribulation lock, the supreme prisoner chain, restricting the freedom of this prisoner.

What a powerful contemporary true person, just like that, fixed and locked in the center of the void.

And then Tian Anping just walked over like that, lifted his palm as a knife, and stabbed, straight at Lou Yue’s neck!

Dark light flowed on the edge of his palm, and clear light exploded on Lou Yue’s neck. The palm edge and the neck opposed each other, dark light and clear light collided. The palm edge constantly moved forward, light points splashed all over the sky, the palm knife stabbed into the neck – Lou Yue’s forehead blue veins burst up, his eyes wide!

On Tianya Platform, there were gasps of exclamation. Those were cultivators from various islands who had come to watch the excitement, unable to suppress their emotions. Could the dignified Middle Domain’s first true person be killed just like that?

But in the next moment, Lou Yue’s wide eyes recovered, and the bursting blue veins also submerged like dragons. He looked at Tian Anping face to face, curled his mouth and laughed: “Enough cooperating with you?”

His smile was brilliant, like a childlike man teasing a three-year-old child.

And indeed, he had that kind of mindset.

What Nine Generals Commander, military true person, naturally fierce in using soldiers, but when it came to fighting, they were just so-so. Only when Chongxuan Futu was there did he count as an opponent. Now among the Qi Country Cave True Realm, only Chongxuan Chu Liang was worth his attention, but only attention.

His Dao body just slightly swelled, and the Void Born Tribulation Gap chains binding his body instantly exploded, blasting into countless fine fragments flying rings all over the sky. Tribulation force surged, void gaps were sharp, but they couldn’t hurt a single hair on him.

And where Tian Anping’s palm stabbed into his neck, where was the neck? It was clearly a black hole!

His palm knife was deeply trapped inside, unable to be pulled out, the dimly black hole swallowed it, as if his wrist wore a shackle.

He locked me with a tribulation chain, I imprison him with a dark shackle, exactly matching his retribution.

Truly terrifying, Tian Anping’s powerful offensive unexpectedly didn't cause any impact on Lou Yue.

The strength of the Middle Domain’s first true person was demonstrated undoubtedly in this kind of almost non-resistant endurance.

But looking at Tian Anping at close hand, in that pair of dry well-like eyes, Lou Yue didn’t detect any emotional fluctuations, and certainly not the panic he wanted to see. This made him realize that teasing this person was utterly boring.

A boring "child".

Then the game should end.

He closed his smiling mouth, the brilliance on his face disappeared, and he put away his playful mood. And that black hole instantly swallowed Tian Anping’s entire arm, and continued to spread rapidly, as if it were a beast’s mouth, swallowing Tian Anping into it in an instant!

Finally, a fist-sized black hole ball was suspended in front of Lou Yue, facing his empty spread five fingers from a distance.

Tian Anping, who had just shown fierce power, was now imprisoned inside it.

Master of the universe, contemporary extreme true. Lou Yue stood against the wind, his long robe billowing, his five fingers just closing like that.

Black hole · Great Resentment Couple!

The vast majority of people in this world, including cultivators, throughout their lives, never truly set foot on the stars they looked up to in childhood.

And departing from the conceptualized meaning of stars, a single star is enough to support the multiplication of creatures. Its destruction, what kind of power will it unleash?

All these destructive powers, burst between one palm?

This is the might of the Great Resentment Couple law!

Lou Yue’s power was further embodied in the fact that when this technique was cast, inside the fist-sized black hole, perhaps the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, but outside the fist-sized black hole, there wasn’t even a wisp of clear wind. His control over power was precise to the micro, truly achieving the ability to contain the universe in an inch.

Looking at this technique, the first thing you see is "collapse," that fist-sized black hole between one palm, constantly collapsing inwards. It swallowed light and devoured shadows, chewed force and ate essence. It seemed that if you looked at it one more time, you would also be swallowed.

Many Qi people dared not look again, as if they had already seen Tian Anping ground into meat paste, not even bones left, a miserable state.

But at this moment, from inside this collapsing black hole, a pair of pale hands probed out.

Because this black hole was only fist-sized, this pair of hands, even clasped together, still seemed very crowded. But in the next moment, this pair of hands forcibly separated, flipped, and substantially grabbed the edge of the black hole, tearing each way –

Vigorously tearing open this piece of black hole!

Like a covering curtain, after being torn open, it revealed Tian Anping’s unbearable Dao body.

His entire body had collapsed a section, at least a foot shorter, shrinking three circles. His body shape was strange, his figure twisted, his five senses strangely squeezed together, because his forehead had already been pressed flat to only half of its original size!

This perfectly matched his extremely evil reputation!

Blood flowed from all seven of his orifices, and not just blood, but also fragments of internal organs.

And he curled his mouth, revealing white teeth occasionally visible in the fresh red.

He seemed to be laughing?

But this expression was too twisted, it was unclear whether he was crying or laughing. Only hearing him say –

“So pain feels like this…”

His voice also became very strange: "I haven’t known for a long time. I almost forgot!"

At such a moment, he suddenly opened his four limbs, stretching outwards, vigorously pulling himself from the collapsed state back to his original body state. With continuous clear cracking sounds in his bones, splash splash – the broken chains on his wrists, the broken chains on his ankles, extended outwards almost infinitely.

Huge and heavy iron chains shuttled behind him, as if using thread to lead a needle, winding silk to weave clothes, quickly interweaving into a square iron city!

He just stood inside this iron-cast city, propping up the two sides of the city gate with both hands, looking outwards – it was unclear whether he was propping open the gate, or being locked on the gate.

On the city gate tower, there was still a "ji" character.

But this character was also twisted at this moment, as if it were eating.

This city gate was like a beast’s mouth, Tian Anping was like a pitiful person about to be swallowed by the evil beast, his propping of the "beast’s mouth" edge was on the contrary more like saving himself.

And he looked at Lou Yue, with that kind of strange, full of interest expression, and said: “Come again!”

"Come again!" "Come again!" "Come again!"

Between heaven and sea, everything echoed this sound.

This was a rare moment when Tian Anping showed intense emotion.

At least Cao Ji was seeing it for the first time. Initially conquering Xia, slaughtering mansions, discussing merits and punishing crimes, this person had no reaction at all.

Lou Yue also rarely faced a true person with an all-out stance.

He clearly grasped his fist, burning his momentum like flame. Black hole flame light leaped outside his Dao body.

Actually being able to bear the Black Hole · Great Resentment Couple technique with Cave True cultivation and not die, before today, within the true person realm, only Huyan Jingxuan had done this. From the current performance, Tian Anping’s physique, even compared with Huyan Jingxuan, the gap was very small!

Who said Tian Anping had fallen out of the ranks of absolute top prodigies after being trapped for ten years?

He returned with terrifying performance, regaining the height he was once expected to reach. Even exceeding it!

Then just beat him to death here.

Lou Yue now didn’t want to know what reason Tian Anping had to find him. He was afraid that after clarifying, it would be difficult for him to kill again. Between great countries, they often saved face for each other. As a high-level figure in Jing Country, he had more scruples.

So, taking advantage of East Heavenly Master watching Cao Ji, and Tian Anping in front, with this battle in progress, he would quickly give a due result –

The tiger-roaring mountains and rivers robe rolled up flatly, as if spreading a painting scroll of mountains and rivers, and Lou Yue’s figure, surrounded by black flame ring light, had already rushed to the front of that iron city, his fist booming on Tian Anping’s chest, blasting him towards the inside of the city. Then enter the ji city, see your true skill, kill you in the city!

But at the same time, between heaven and sea, a heart-piercing roar rang out –

“General Cao!”

Rumble rumble!

Rumble!

A giant ship, fully loaded with armored soldiers, boomed through the night sky.

Xia Corpse Commander Qi Wen, standing on the deck of the flagship named "Disaster," roared angrily: "Jing Country King Kun, killed Li Longchuan!!!"
