Chapter 1 Staring at the Jade Coffin

The jade coffin stood there, as if it had existed for ages, crystal clear, like the most beautiful gem. The maiden inside had her eyes closed. Hesitantly, Jue looked at the maiden's face: "This is...

Nüwa?" Although the Heavenly Maiden had only appeared after Nüwa went into seclusion, Jue knew what Nüwa looked like. This knowledge came from the Kunlun inheritance.

But, why would Nüwa be here?

Hmm?

Jue suddenly saw weapons around her turning into seals.

The seals contained extremely powerful forces.

They sealed the maiden in the jade coffin. More importantly, Jue suddenly noticed scattered around her…

Weapons identical to those used for the seals were scattered on the ground, stuck in the walls. Jue blinked. "There are two of almost every one. This..." She bent down, reaching out to touch a sword stuck in the ground. It radiated rich spiritual energy and wisps of chaotic time. Jue used those wisps of chaotic time to divine the future. Images of battle flashed before her eyes. A figure in front kept throwing magical artifacts behind, and a figure behind picked them up.

Then, in a rage, the figure behind made a move, sleeves sweeping, and weapon after weapon burst forth with intense power, smashing towards the figure in front, but they were dodged. The intense clash, coupled with the characteristics of the Kunlun Ruins…

Some of the weapons pierced through time and space, landing in the present of distant years.

"...During the battle, these magical artifacts broke through time nodes and returned to this time?"

"What unlucky people, I wonder who it was."

"But my luck isn't bad."

The maiden contentedly gathered the magical artifacts.

"What good fortune!"

But it seemed that this action triggered some special change. Suddenly, the token at her waist glowed faintly. Jue raised her eyes in surprise, seeing the power within the Gui Xu Token flowing, causing cracks to appear on the jade coffin in front of her. Then, the jade coffin suddenly burst open from the inside!

A chilling, domineering killing intent spread out.

This is!

Jue's pupils contracted, her right hand gripping the weapon at her waist, the battle blade.

The next moment, the aura in front of her erupted!

A tearing, terrifying aura, incomparably domineering, filled with bloody cruelty, without the slightest hesitation, pressed down with cold ruthlessness.

Jue turned her right hand, and the battle blade spun, the scabbard directly carrying a storm, turning into a stream of light that stabbed fiercely forward. Then, the wind-like power suddenly scattered, and the flowing storm, powerful enough to shatter a mountain range, abruptly stopped. A fair, slender hand reached out and seized the scabbard.

Jue's eyes, beneath the Cat Mad mask, lifted, staring intently at the face revealed under the tearing force.

A face exactly like the Nüwa of legends.

But with white hair, and dressed in black.

Her eyes were deep and lightless, like the darkest night, especially with the turbid world aura swirling within, a unique madness and coldness, revealing killing intent and violence, faintly tinged with scarlet. The skin swept by this madly cold gaze felt a strange stinging pain. Jue's pupils shrank, and she finally understood.

This was definitely not Nüwa!

This is…

Crack!

The scabbard, unique to the Gui Xu Guardian-level treasured blade and itself a supreme treasure, was directly crushed, turning into a violent storm. The white-haired maiden paused, then directly grabbed the treasured blade in Jue's palm, twisting it violently, wanting to completely crush and explode the blade.

Jue's expression didn't change. The flowing wind moved with her will, following the white-haired maiden's instinctive attack, spinning and moving.

In an instant, the violent turbid world aura and the sharp Kunlun wind clashed. Jue took the opportunity to attack, her blade concealing its edge. The white-haired maiden's face was expressionless, without the slightest hint of humanity, only mad, primitive, bloody slaughter, terrifyingly dense. Jue grunted, feeling the pure energy within her body suppressed. As they clashed, she saw the white-haired maiden's cold, primitive eyes, devoid of any emotion.

This was a weapon.

A weapon born solely for slaughter.

"In that case, I can't let you live."

Retreating, exhaling, her mind sinking down little by little, suppressing her own distracting thoughts and the kindness in her heart. On the blade, clear flowing wind twisted, eventually becoming domineering, fierce, and extremely sharp. Stepping forward, attacking, the blade's momentum was as fierce as a flowing wind that hadn't dissipated for thousands of years, violently chopping down.

The long wind surged, sweeping across the universe!

The white-haired maiden's movements were savage and primitive, using her hands as weapons, tearing and smashing towards the Heavenly Maiden.

With a terrifying boom and exaggerated surges of spiritual energy, their clash swept across the entire Kunlun Ruins.

The instantaneous clash quickly developed into a tug-of-war between the two.

The blade was coldly domineering, like a hurricane sweeping away everything, while the white-haired maiden's body itself seemed to be the most powerful weapon in the world, enough to tear laws and twist concepts. The two had already exchanged hundreds of blows in rapid succession.

When the white-haired maiden exhaled, she could naturally absorb the turbid energy of the Kunlun Ruins. Her moves were primitive, crazy, but carried a morbid pursuit of flesh and blood and slaughter, while Jue was originally the pure energy and long wind of Kunlun, and under the crazy blade clash, gradually consumed, gradually faltering.

Chi!

The white-haired maiden's eyes were cold, the depths filled with crazy, violent bloodlust.

Her right hand pierced through the blade in Jue's palm.

That long blade of the Gui Xu Guardian-level, which had only been born for a short time, had already collapsed with a crash, turning into countless fragments. The next moment, the white-haired maiden's right hand, like the sharpest blade in the world, pierced Jue's abdomen. Blood splattered. Jue's eyes lowered slightly, her right hand pressing on the white-haired maiden's shoulder.

She exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.

It seemed she had finally made a choice, understanding that it wasn't the time to be bound by purity and turbidity. Even if she was eroded by the turbid world, it was better than dying here at the hands of this woman who had unknown connections to the Great Goddess Nüwa. Jue slowly exhaled, her own energy beginning to devour the surrounding turbid world aura. For a pure-world creature, this was no different from drinking poison to quench thirst. Jue had already made sufficient preparations, but contrary to her expectations…

A series of vibrations appeared in the void.

The turbid world aura crazily reversed and rotated, being swallowed into the maiden's body.

Jue grunted, but could feel her own foundation beginning to rapidly climb. A glint flashed in her eyes. Turbid energy occupied a higher proportion of her aura, and the usual gentleness in her eyes faintly transformed into dominance and sharpness. She forcefully suppressed it, pushing the white-haired maiden back, causing the bloodthirsty violence in the latter's eyes to seem to dissipate slightly.

And at this moment, Jue suddenly heard a low, ancient voice in her ear.

She heard a call and subconsciously looked down at the Kunlun Ruins beneath her feet.

Half of her own foundation came from the purest turbid energy. When the long wind of Kunlun extinguished, the Kunlun Ruins, which had no long wind from the core of the turbid world, began to call for her arrival, calling for her return.

This is…

Jue was slightly lost in thought.

"Die."

A bloody, merciless voice.

The white-haired, black-clad maiden, with an appearance extremely similar to Nüwa, launched another attack.

Jue's thoughts were interrupted, and she could only be forced to meet the attack head-on, turning abruptly, forming a sword with her fingers, a sword that stabbed straight, causing the white-haired maiden's steps to halt. Then, Jue stepped forward, the flowing wind gathering between her fingers and turning into sharp sword energy, layer upon layer. Confronting the white-haired maiden, the auras of both sides were extremely sharp. Jue's weapon was broken, and she could only rely on the foundation suddenly enhanced in the Kunlun Ruins to forcefully clash with the white-haired Nüwa, her eyes lowered slightly:

'Her aura seems to be able to be removed…’

'Are these things, is that formation interfering with her true spirit and will? Damn it, who did this?

After several thousand years, the true spirit has been greatly contaminated, almost turned into a weapon.

Damn it…

I can't find a way to suppress her completely, and then remove the turbid world violence from her body.’

Jue immediately felt unwilling, but she was alone and unsupported, and could only stalemate with her.

At the same time—when Jue traveled all the way from Chang'an to Kunlun, and then came to the Kunlun Ruins, too much time had already passed. For the maiden, perhaps it was just playing in the mountains and rivers and then finding Kunlun Mountain, and then searching inside and outside Kunlun Mountain several times, but she was unable to find any trace of the West Queen Mother, before searching for the entrance to the Kunlun Ruins.

One cannot discuss ice with a summer insect.

For a Heavenly Maiden who was born with immortality, her leisurely arrival was perhaps half a lifetime for some people.

And the flow of time in the Kunlun Ruins was filled with chaos.

At this moment, outside.

Kunlun Mountain.

"Hahahaha, laughable, laughable, Yinglong Gengchen, you're still the First Martial God of Kunlun, how could you not even have this little bit of defense, or is it because you returned to Kunlun that you lost your due vigilance and became so weak!" One of the Twelve Earthly Branches Gods was laughing loudly.

Looking at the First Martial God, who had been trapped and injured by them, they were unrestrained.

That was a combat power second only to the top ten peak levels in the Kunlun lineage, and he had been injured by them like this. They had lurked in Kunlun.

Waiting secretly, they finally waited for the First Martial God of Kunlun.

Moreover, this guy had set foot on Kunlun with a human swordsman who was no longer young.

They chose to trap and backstab the First Martial God Yinglong Gengchen at the first opportunity, and ignored the white-haired human swordsman. The latter was no longer young, and in a few years, he would even die and turn into a pile of bones. He didn't even have a sword in his hand now. There was no need to care about such an enemy at all.

What's more, there was also the Twelve Earthly Branches Grand Formation of Years.

Brushing away the lifespans of all living beings!

What use was a mere mortal?

They thought this way, and then suddenly, they heard a resolute, sharp, cold, and domineering sword cry. When they turned around, they only saw the white-haired swordsman instantly turning into a sword energy stream of light, passing through the boundary between heaven and earth. The Grand Formation of Years flowed, falling on him, accelerating his time, but the sword energy and sword light became even sharper and more domineering.

Yes, he would die soon, turn into bones.

But he was still alive now.

Even if one day his hands trembled.

As long as he could still swing a sword.

Then he was still, the strongest swordsman in the world, from ancient times to the present!

The strongest of all time!

In just an instant, a god was beheaded by a mortal's sword.

The invisible blade devoured and drank the blood of the gods.

The strongest sword!

Then the knight errant raised his head and shouted angrily at Yinglong Gengchen over there: "Leave quickly! Leave quickly!" Gengchen swept his sleeves, took the things he had come to Kunlun to find, and then turned into a light, wrapping the knight errant up, and instantly moved away—

At this moment, the creaking sound remembered.

One of the Ten Heavenly Gates, opened with a bang!

Gengchen's pupils widened, and he finally knew the real culprit who had harmed him, and knew who had betrayed Kunlun! The next moment, the knight errant and him were already swallowed by the extremely terrifying stream of light, and Yinglong Gengchen roared angrily. The knight errant finally aroused his energy and suddenly slashed with his sword.

The sword energy and radiance slashed hard on the door.

Immediately, the knight errant himself and Gengchen were swallowed into the Kunlun Ruins behind the Heavenly Gate.

Dang!!

Jue and the white-haired maiden's confrontation was staged for the unknown time.

"...I can't suppress it."

Fine cracks appeared on the mad mask on Jue's face. Even though the other party was not in the state of Daoguo, the physical fitness of the top ten peak level, and the turbid world's crazy instinct, still brought great pressure, forcing her to further mobilize the power of the turbid world aura.

She seemed to have heard the illusory high-pitched shouts in her ears.

Call.

Call for power.

Born from the turbid world's most dark energy that erupted when Mount Buzhou collapsed, she reached out her hand.

Just as the pure energy in Jue's eyes was gradually suppressed by the turbid energy, a crack suddenly appeared in the sky. The next moment, the angry dragon's roar exploded. Jue and the white-clothed maiden were stunned, and at the same time, they raised their eyes and saw the huge figure of Yinglong Gengchen, and then the Tang Dynasty's knight errant fell from above.

The white-haired maiden saw a new enemy.

She seemed to have no common sense to distinguish the situation at all, and was aroused by the flow of wind, her eyes were full of violence.

Taking advantage of the situation, she attacked the swordsman over there.

Her hand went through his throat, and her voice was cold and indifferent, with a bloody aura.

"Die!"

At this time, Chen Yuan distinguished the general situation, exhaled, and pointed his fingers. The Tang Dynasty's First Sword Saint, with a sword in his heart even without a sword in his hand.

Therefore, the dense sword intent filled the Kunlun Ruins.

The sharp air was cold, pointing directly at the white-haired maiden's eyebrows, the vital point of her true spirit!
