All People: I Slay Gods with Martial Arts

119: Chapter 118 Is the Sword Master Really Dead?”An Incarnation? Remarkable.”

Ye Xiu looked at the vanishing figure and couldn’t help but praise her.

Although he could also condense an Incarnation,

compared to this Yaomei’s Incarnation, his was utterly crude.

After all, the Incarnation that had just disappeared was able to engage in a great battle with Ji Xingyue; in terms of combat power, it had clearly inherited all of her original strength.

This kind of technique...

was very likely the supreme secret art of the Daoist School, the One Breath Transforms into Three Purities method.

”General, you are too modest.”

Ji Xingyue came to Ye Xiu’s side and sighed slightly. ”Its true body is beneath the ghost city; I’m afraid there are many ambushes.”

”Ambushes are a minor matter. Besides Evil Intent, there are surely other dangers in the Ancient Land of Samsara.”

”How does the General know?”

”I once took a trip to the Imperial Court and obtained information there.”

”The Imperial Court, I see.”

Ji Xingyue nodded.

The commotion caused by the reconstruction of the Imperial Court a year ago was extremely grand.

She naturally knew about it.

Although she had never met that Empress,

as one of the highest authorities of the Great Xia, she had already memorized Ye Xiu’s files.

Empress Xing Mu!

She had once lived on Xingluo Mountain with Ye Xiu, and the relationship between the two was no ordinary one.

She was aware of all this.

Seeing Ji Xingyue lost in thought, Ye Xiu interrupted her. ”The Ancient Land of Samsara was evolved from the death of a Supreme Realm expert from the Primordial Era. There might still be a Deity Obsession inside. If we’re going to act, do it quickly; don’t delay.”

”Deity Obsession?”

A flash of surprise crossed Ji Xingyue’s eyes.

She had originally thought there was only Ominous Malice beneath the ghost city; she hadn’t expected this to also be the legendary land of Reincarnation.

She remained silent for a few seconds.

Only then did she speak and ask, ”Can the General tell this little girl in detail what you know?”

Ye Xiu nodded.

The two were on the same side, so he naturally wouldn’t withhold information.

After a few minutes of explanation,

Ji Xingyue’s expression became increasingly solemn.

Possession!

That Deity Obsession might even attempt Rebirth through Possession?

She looked down at the Fengdu Ghost City below and suddenly spoke: ”Why did the Blade Master suppress the Evil Intent here? Has the General ever considered that the Imperial Court might be playing a grand game of chess?”

Ye Xiu was stunned. ”What do you mean?”

”It is very difficult for a Supreme Realm expert to die. Is the Blade Master really dead?”

A thoughtful light gleamed in Ji Xingyue’s eyes.

She looked at the pondering Ye Xiu.

Continuing, she said, ”The power of Karma is born from the Heavenly Dao, and the Imperial Court controls the world’s Heavenly Dao. As one of the Imperial Court’s most important combat forces, how could the Blade Master have died from the power of Karma?”

Hearing this,

Ye Xiu didn’t say a word.

He directly raised his hand like a blade and slashed toward the black mist in the Small World.

Hum...

The supreme Saber Intent erupted.

The blade light of the [Zhu Xian Style] illuminated the entire Small World.

Crack...

The eerie Dao within the black mist was directly sliced open.

The Domain shattered,

revealing a dark, void-like space.

As time slowly passed...

The expected power of Karma did not erupt. After performing the [Zhu Xian Style], aside from a great consumption of Mental Energy, he felt no discomfort.

As expected, the power of Karma was a form of the Heavenly Dao.

And because of the re-establishment of the Imperial Court, the Heavenly Dao had become Xing Mu’s power.

Ye Xiu looked up toward the horizon.

He felt a familiar gaze. ”The Blade Master isn’t dead. Is his consciousness in the midst of Reincarnation?”

Ji Xingyue didn’t speak, also looking up toward the firmament.

Whoosh...

Accompanied by a gentle breeze,

a mighty force instantly sealed the entire Small World.

It was Xing Mu!

”Sword Lord Li Si is indeed dead, but as long as a Supreme Realm expert has a sliver of will remaining, they can recover once more, just like this Empress.” Her words were somewhat wistful, as if she were reminiscing about something.

”So he needs to use Possession to recover?”

”No, Li Si does not need Possession. The one who needs Possession is the Samsara Venerable. That old fellow has too many enemies; even if he recovers, someone will surely charge out from the Boundary Sea again to settle scores with him.”

”Then how should the Blade Master recover?” Ye Xiu asked.

When he was at his weakest, he had inherited the Blade Master’s Legacy; he could be considered half a disciple of the Blade Master.

Regardless of whether this was a scheme or not,

if there was a chance, he didn’t mind contributing his strength to aid his recovery.

”Now is not yet the time for Li Si’s recovery. You just need to handle your own affairs. If it becomes absolutely necessary, you can draw out the Saber Intent within the Evil Intent; entering Fengdu Ghost City will then be perfectly safe.”

Within Xing Mu’s cold voice, there was a slight softening.

As a Supreme Realm expert who had lived for countless ages, the emotions humans ought to have had long since faded.

Aside from a few specific people, all others were merely ants; if they died, they died.

”Senior, I am a member of the Ji Family from the dharma-ending age. May I ask a few questions?” Ji Xingyue suddenly spoke, interrupting Ye Xiu’s contemplation.

”A descendant of the Human Emperor? Remarkable indeed. But your Dao should not exist; not only will this Empress not allow it, but those in the Boundary Sea will not allow it either.”

Xing Mu’s voice revealed an endless killing intent.

Devouring the Main World—many had thought of this, but all had died in the endless passage of time.

If the other party hadn’t belonged to the Celestial Race lineage, she would have long since struck out to kill her.

Ji Xingyue smiled faintly,

not caring too much about Xing Mu’s icy tone.

She spoke again, asking, ”Senior, why does His Majesty the Human Emperor not return to the world? Is it that he cannot return, or that he does not want to return?”

Heh...

”This Empress has no time to play Q&A games with you. Ye Xiu, remember my words.” Xing Mu ignored Ji Xingyue’s question; her aura dissipated, and she no longer paid attention to the movements in this Small World.

Looking at Ji Xingyue, whose eyebrows were furrowed,

Ye Xiu sighed softly. ”Don’t mind her. That person is just like that—devoid of humanity.”

”General, don’t you find it strange?”

”Strange how?”

”The Heavenly Dao of this world has already been perfected, yet the Main World still hasn’t returned to the state of the Ancient Era. Is it that it cannot, or that someone doesn’t want it to?”

”Are you saying someone is deliberately controlling the recovery of the Main World?”

Ji Xingyue’s Double Pupils flickered.

A Space-Time Barrier immediately appeared; time was regressing, becoming offset from the real world.

After doing all this,

she spoke with a hint of solemnity. ”When this little girl was evolving the Heavenly Dao, I once caught a few glimpses of future images.”

”Can you speak of them?”

Ye Xiu’s face also bore a solemn expression.

Supreme Realm experts were existences that could not be spoken of, unless they were dead.

Otherwise, if they were discussed, they would surely sense it.

Ji Xingyue did not speak.

She slowly walked to Ye Xiu’s side and met his gaze; her Double Pupils flickered, gradually forming a scene.

Amidst a bloody light,

a monster covered in red hair tore open the River of Time.

A Blood Coffin shattered, and a powerful expert emerged.

The heavens crumbled, and in the battle between the two, the myriad worlds began to shatter, turning into overwhelming life essence.

The image vanished there.

”The Eastern Emperor?”

Ye Xiu’s heart shook; that Blood Coffin was exactly the same as the one in the Ghost Realm, the one the Eastern Emperor lay in.

What was that thing covered in red hair?

As a [Supreme Position], the Eastern Emperor was able to fight his way back to the Main World from the other shore; with such Peak combat power, few would likely dare to face him alone.

Yet that Red-Haired Monster in the image was actually suppressing the Eastern Emperor,

forcing the Eastern Emperor to absorb life essence to replenish himself during the battle.

Could that monster come from the other shore of the Boundary Sea?
