Chapter 906: Heaven-Defying Dojo
A blood-red moon hung high in the sky, stained the crumbling walls of the Nitian Dojo an eerie dark red. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen fled in panic, their footsteps pressing in like a death warrant. The air was thick with the pungent smell of blood, the aura of slaughter left behind by the pursuing divine forces.
"The Nitian Dojo is just ahead. It's said to be the only place capable of defying the divine realm." Chu Mochen's expression was solemn. He took Yun Yao's hand and quickened his pace. Yun Yao gazed at the ancient building looming in the distance, feeling a strange unease rising in her heart. The building was dilapidated, yet it exuded a mysterious and powerful aura, as if telling of its past glory and vicissitudes.
The moment they entered the Nitian Dojo, a powerful pressure washed over them. Yun Yao tensed, looking around warily. Just then, a familiar figure slowly emerged from the shadows, moonlight shimmering on her face. It was the long-dead Liu Yan'er!
"Sister..." Liu Yan'er's voice choked with sobs, tears sliding down her cheeks, "Back then, I was possessed by the gods and had no control over my own life. Sister, I am your true incarnation of the Heavenly Dao!" As she spoke, she suddenly knelt in front of Yun Yao, tears and blood all over her face, looking extremely miserable.
Yun Yao's pupils suddenly constricted as she stared at Liu Yan'er in disbelief. Memories flooded back like a tide, and every moment she'd spent with Liu Yan'er flashed through her mind. A pang of pain gripped her heart, and she reached out to help Liu Yan'er up, but at that moment, her sharp intuition caused her to lean back.
A flash of cold light brushed past her throat, and the chilling aura of the God-Slaying Spear made her scalp tingle. Liu Yan'er had stood up without her knowing, her eyes as cold as ice, the God-Slaying Spear in her hand pointed directly at Yun Yao's heart.
"Double reversal?" Yun Yao chuckled self-deprecatingly, her mind rapidly pondering a response. She should have anticipated that in this world of cultivation, rife with conspiracy and betrayal, reunion and confession wouldn't be so easy.
"Sister, you are too naive." Liu Yan'er's voice became cold and unfamiliar. "Your soul has long been corroded by the fragments of the laws. It was never me who became the pawn of the divine realm."
Before she could finish her words, Liu Yan'er's God-Slaying Spear lunged at her with devastating force. Yun Yao rapidly channeled her spiritual energy, unleashing the full force of her peak Void Realm strength. A golden barrier formed before her. The God-Slaying Spear pierced the barrier fiercely, its powerful impact sending Yun Yao reeling back. Her knuckles cracked, blood dripping from them.
Seeing this, Chu Mochen's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. He unsheathed his sword, and with a powerful sword energy, he aimed directly at Liu Yan'er. Liu Yan'er sneered and swung the God-killing Spear, colliding with Chu Mochen's sword energy, unleashing an earth-shattering roar.
Yun Yao took the opportunity to adjust her state. She could sense that Liu Yan'er's strength was far greater than before, no ordinary pawn of the divine realm. She carefully observed Liu Yan'er's attack methods, trying to find a flaw. Just then, she noticed that when Liu Yan'er attacked, her eyes occasionally flashed with a hint of pain and struggle, as if some force was fighting for control of her body.
"Could it be..." Yun Yao's heart stirred, and she decided to take a risk. Instead of blindly defending, she took the initiative and attacked, using the power of the embryonic form of the "Rules Realm" to try to resonate with the power within Liu Yan'er.
She formed seals with her hands and muttered something, and mysterious laws of power flew out from her hands and wrapped around Liu Yan'er. Liu Yan'er immediately showed a painful expression and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Sister, hurry up!" Liu Yan'er suddenly shouted, her voice filled with despair and unwillingness, "I can't control myself anymore!"
Yun Yao's heart trembled. She hadn't expected Liu Yan'er to still be conscious. In the moment she hesitated, Liu Yan'er's eyes turned cold again, and the God-Slaying Spear turned and stabbed towards her heart.
At the critical moment, Yun Yao flashed to Liu Yan'er's side and reached out to grab the God-Slaying Spear, blood flowing down the spear. She used the power of the law to forcibly suppress the evil force in Liu Yan'er's body and injected her spiritual power into her body, trying to awaken her consciousness.
"Liu Yan'er, wake up!" Yun Yao shouted, "We used to be sisters. Do you want to be controlled by the gods forever and become their killing tool?"
Liu Yan'er's body trembled slightly, and a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes. At this moment, the pursuers from the divine realm arrived, led by a powerful divine being. Upon seeing the scene before him, he sneered, "Yun Yao, today is your death! You can't even save a possessed ant, and yet you still dream of defying the divine realm?"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a powerful attack came towards Yun Yao and Liu Yan'er. Chu Mochen immediately blocked them, his sword dancing. The sword energy collided with the attack of the powerful gods, and the powerful aftermath completely destroyed the surrounding buildings.
Yun Yao knew that now was not the time to fight the pursuers from the divine realm head-on. She concentrated her energy and exerted the power of the law with all her might, finally successfully awakening some of Liu Yan'er's consciousness. Liu Yan'er looked at Yun Yao, her eyes filled with guilt: "Sister, I'm sorry..."
"Now is not the time to talk about this." Yun Yao interrupted her, "Let's leave here first."
She pulled Liu Yan'er along and reunited with Chu Mochen. The three of them stood back to back, warily watching the pursuers around them. The mighty beings of the divine realm launched another attack, countless rays of light shooting towards them. Yun Yao took a deep breath and unleashed the power of the embryonic form of the "Rules Realm" to its fullest, forming a powerful protective shield around them.
However, the attack from the divine powerhouse was too powerful, and cracks began to appear in the shield. Yun Yao could feel her spiritual power rapidly depleting. If this continued, they would be defeated sooner or later. At this moment, Liu Yan'er suddenly broke free from Yun Yao's hand and raised the God-Slaying Spear again: "Sister, let me do it!"
As she spoke, she rushed towards the pursuers from the God Realm. Wherever the God-Slaying Spear passed, the cultivators from the God Realm fell one after another. Her eyes were determined, as if she was ready to sacrifice herself. Yun Yao was extremely anxious and wanted to help her, but Chu Mochen stopped her: "Trust her!"
Liu Yan'er fought with increasing courage, her body beginning to glow, a light born from the struggle against the divine power. She charged at the divine being, the God-Slaying Spear pointed directly at his vital points. Unaware of Liu Yan'er's desperate efforts, the divine being let his guard down and was struck in the shoulder by the God-Slaying Spear, blood gushing out.
"You're looking for death!" the mighty divine being roared, slapping Liu Yan'er with a palm. Liu Yan'er had no way to avoid it and was about to be struck. Yun Yao, anxious, mobilized all her spiritual power. A golden light shot out from her hand, striking the mighty divine being's palm and giving Liu Yan'er a glimmer of hope.
Liu Yan'er took the opportunity to retreat and returned to Yun Yao's side. Her body was already covered in wounds, and her breath was weak. "Sister, I'm afraid..."
"Don't be silly." Yun Yao hugged her tightly, "We will definitely leave here together."
At this moment, a sudden change occurred at the Nitian Dojo. The ground began to shake, and ancient buildings collapsed one after another. A powerful force surged from the ground, repelling the pursuing divine forces. Yun Yao and the others seized the opportunity to escape from the Nitian Dojo, disappearing into the night.
After they left, the Nitian Dojo completely collapsed, leaving only ruins, as if telling the story of the thrilling battle that had just taken place. What will be the fate of Liu Yan'er? What challenges will Yun Yao and Chu Mochen face? Everything is still unknown...
