Chapter 291: Chapter 290 – Just at This Moment (Please Subscribe) “It’s you...” *Bai Ziyue’s heart skipped a beat* as he instantly recognized the owner of this magical artifact. The disciple of the Grand Daoist Sect, Xu Zhixuan! Even though they had only briefly interacted before, the magical artifact used by the other party had left a deep impression on him. *Yet, he had no personal vendetta against Xu Zhixuan and truly struggled to comprehend why the other party would target him.* “Hmph!” Xu Zhixuan coldly snorted, and the chilling air from the Cold Ice Gourd seemed to cover the sky. The extreme cold turned the flowers, grass, and trees within its range into ice sculptures within moments, only to be crushed under the power. Bang! As if a snowy mountain shattered, it was directly crushed into ice debris. Bai Ziyue focused intently while a sweltering blaze began rising from him. It was as if volcanic magma, accumulated deep underground for hundreds of years, violently erupted under seismic pressure. Boom! Magic, Earth Core Fire Technique! Almost instantaneously, the fierce and terrifying flame force expelled the chill and continued to spread rapidly, engulfing the entire Cold Ice Gourd. The scorching flames incinerated with such intensity as if they could burn everything. The gourd emitted waves of cold air in vain attempts to resist but was entirely ineffective. Boom! Boom! Boom! Sounds of magical artifact restrictions being scorched and shattered echoed out, and in the blink of an eye, the spirit light on the gourd significantly diminished, relegating it to a Middle-grade Dharma Artifact, then a Low-grade Dharma Artifact. Boom! With a resounding crash, the Cold Ice Gourd burst open and exploded. “Ah...” With his magical artifact destroyed, Xu Zhixuan immediately let out a blood-curdling cry and exclaimed in fear, “What is this magic? How can it be this strong?” Simultaneously, Bai Ziyue’s second sword swiftly launched forth. The Golden Light Sword shot out like a stream of light once more, fiercely striking the Positive and Negative Five Elements Trapping Array. No matter what, he had to break out of the array quickly to grasp the external changes. “Hmph, worthless!” Suddenly, a familiar and deep voice rapidly transmitted from afar. As the word ‘worthless’ fell, Bai Ziyue saw a Cyan Bamboo Sword, seven feet long, abruptly descend outside the array, slashing at his Golden Light Sword. That slash was indeed unbelievably swift. Clang! With a resonant clang, Bai Ziyue’s heart spirit throbbed painfully, as the spiritual consciousness on his Golden Light Sword was forcibly scattered. Upon looking up, he saw the sword had been cleaved in two. “Not good!” *Bai Ziyue’s heart sank deeply* and he was instantly anxious. Inside his body, his Innate True Qi, condensed to the extreme, swiftly merged with his spiritual power, and he hurriedly struck out with a palm. “Hmm, it’s indeed the Immortal Martial Hand Seal and has been cultivated to such a profound degree?” Amidst the voice of wonder, the Cyan Bamboo Sword continued its relentless assault. “It was indeed you; I’ve known all along you harbored ill intentions against me.” Bai Ziyue finally identified the intruder, who turned out to be Mr. Zhou, with whom he had previously dealt. Thinking about the other’s Immortal Technique Enlightenment Realm identity, *his heart pounded fiercely*. Amidst an intense sense of crisis, his Innate True Qi circulated rapidly, and the protective golden light from the Invincible Golden Body Technique ascended around him. Meanwhile, as his spiritual power surged, a transparent and resilient spirit light appeared above the golden light on his body. Magic! Spirit shield technique! “Actually, I bear no malice, but the Immortal Martial Hand Seal you possess is one of the missing inheritances of our sect, and I hope you can return it. Furthermore, the Circulation Inference Mirror is surely in your possession. That Dharma Treasure is also a lost sect treasure of ours. If you can return them, I will naturally let you leave.” As Mr. Zhou finished speaking, the Cyan Bamboo Sword viciously stabbed into Bai Ziyue’s Immortal Martial Hand Seal. Boom! The massive and towering hand seal, condensed to the extreme, was completely pierced by the Cyan Bamboo Sword and dissipated entirely under the torrent of power. Fortunately, this strike exhausted the sword’s energy, rendering the attack ineffective. “Eh? It’s indeed worthy of the Immortal Martial Hand Seal, incredibly powerful.” Mr. Zhou praised with a sigh while pointing again at the Cyan Bamboo Sword. But at this moment, Bai Ziyue’s counterattack finally commenced. A thick stack of talismans had mysteriously appeared on his palm, without hesitation, he activated all of them instantly. Numerous Thousand Mountains Ice Blade Skill Transformation Talismans, Thunderfall Skill Transformation Talismans, Earth Core Fire Technique Transformation Talismans... transformed into countless ice blades, thunderbolts, fiery lights, spirit lights, and rained down upon the array’s glow. Boom! Boom! Boom! The thick array barrier, which could withstand the full force of an Enlightenment Immortal Master’s strike, struggled to endure the continuous barrage of powerful talismans. It merely paused slightly before it shattered apart. At that moment, the talismans’ remaining power continued to wreak havoc, rapidly spreading and landing almost instantly on the two figures that appeared in front of Bai Ziyue as the array shattered. “Sect Leader, save me!” Liu Zhixuan was shocked, his body quickly retreating as he hastily summoned a defensive shield. However, just a middle-grade Dharma Artifact level shield was evidently unable to withstand the terrifying Thunderfall’s assault, and it shattered in an instant. Fortunately, at the critical moment, a pale cyan magic light fell on him, blocking the spreading attack. “Sect Leader? Are you the Sect Leader of the Grand Daoist Sect, Zhou Qing?” Bai Ziyue’s gaze fell on the elder who calmly manipulated a Treasure Bead. The bead emitted a crystal-clear light, blocking all the talisman attacks. His expression changed dramatically. The Sect Leader of the Grand Daoist Sect was a sect leader, yet he had not reached the realm above Enlightenment, the god-clarity level, but was indeed a peak of the Enlightenment Realm powerhouse. He had not expected that the other party valued him so highly, with a sect leader silently lurking near the Sunrise Daoist Sect and personally targeting him. Not waiting for the other party to respond, Bai Ziyue already held a pale purple orb in his hand. His spiritual power surged and instantly shot it towards the void above. In an instant, the orb soared into the sky, piercing through it in a blink and appearing several hundred feet high in the void above. Boom! A thunderous explosion echoed, shaking the void. Next was an endless purple light that shone in the sky, visible even from dozens of miles away. The Help-seeking Purple Light Bead! *Even if Bai Ziyue was confident enough to believe his strength was no weaker than that of the average Enlightenment Immortal Master, he was clearly aware he was no match for Zhou Qing, who had already reached the peak of the Enlightenment Realm.* *Moreover, the other party was a sect leader with an exceptionally deep and formidable foundation, stronger than most peak-level Enlightenment Realm powerhouses.* *Thus, upon breaking the Positive and Negative Five Elements Trapping Array and identifying the other party, he immediately activated the uniformly distributed Help-seeking Purple Light Bead by the Sunrise Daoist Sect.* “This isn’t good! I must dispatch this Bai Ziyue swiftly, capturing him quickly. If that fails, I’ll have to kill him.” Zhou Qing’s face changed, but his mind was resolute. A powerful spiritual pressure surged instantly, and under the drive of the Divine Sense, the Cyan Bamboo Sword trembled slightly and immediately turned into a stream of light, shooting out. At the moment the Help-seeking Purple Light Bead shot out, Bai Ziyue dared not hesitate. The innate true Qi within his body instantly reversed and surged upward. Bang! Bang! Bang! His body suddenly swelled, shooting up in height, more than doubling in size in the blink of an eye, like a small giant brimming with incredible power. The terrifying aura crushed down, truly like the descent of a divine demon, unmatched in might. Burning Yuan Technique! *At this moment, Bai Ziyue was indeed fighting for his life.* *He unleashed this desperate cultivation technique, the Burning Yuan Technique.* *This desperate technique, once used, usually harms oneself before hurting others.* *Moreover, most critically, an early-stage Innate Realm martial artist could only use this technique for seven breaths at most. Once it exceeded seven breaths, under the consumption of innate true Qi, it would start burning the martial artist’s qi and blood, and life force. Just three breaths later, the martial artist would exhaust their life force and die.* *Facing Zhou Qing, who was at the peak of the Enlightenment Realm, Bai Ziyue did not dare harbor any luck and directly employed this desperate technique.* Then he turned and fled. He escaped! *Facing continued entanglement with unforeseeable consequences, he naturally wanted to escape.* “The Help-seeking Purple Light Bead has already been sent out, and within the Sunrise Daoist Sect, there should be those above the Immortal Technique Enlightenment Realm hastening here. *Generally speaking, those who come first would inevitably be strong ones at or above the late-stage Enlightenment Realm. With their escape techniques, it typically takes about sixty breaths from the Sunrise Daoist Sect to reach here.* Sixty breaths, meaning I need to hold on for at least sixty breaths.” *Bai Ziyue’s spirit light flickered, utilizing Hundred-Step Wave-Treading Skill, Seven-Star Chasing the Moon, various techniques, and body techniques to the fullest. With the desperate cultivation technique, Burning Yuan Technique, his strength and speed surged, reaching the peak he could achieve at that moment.* His steps flew swiftly through the forest, truly as fast as possible. Even stepping through the void, at a height of five to six meters above the ground, the violent force was still terrifying. Small trees and plants, under his forceful pressure, all turned to wood shavings and scattered. “You can’t escape!” Zhou Qing snorted coldly and chased at terrifying speed, as if a fleeting shadow. The Cyan Bamboo Sword was even faster, like a bright beam of light, reaching Bai Ziyue’s head in a blink and slashing down. Bai Ziyue’s eyelids twitched wildly under the looming threat of death. He quickly took out a handful of talismans from his storage bag. Without caring which talismans they were, he activated them all. Boom! Boom! Boom! Lightning crisscrossed, ice blades showered like rain, flames blazed wildly, and under the endless flashing spirit light, it truly seemed like fireworks filling the sky, dazzling and brilliant. Nevertheless, although the talismans were strong, they scattered too much, limiting the power striking on the Cyan Bamboo Sword. The Cyan Bamboo Sword shone brilliantly, unaffected by the collision of various talisman powers, continuing its downward slash without pause. Just at this moment.
