Li Ping stands calmly, sensing the indomitable will of the vast sea beneath his feet.
Facing a life-threatening crisis, any existence would struggle to the best of its ability.
Li Ping also feels the intense survival will of this ocean.
But for the Mystic Yellow Realm, its survival translates into blatant "evil thoughts."
As the self-proclaimed incarnation of the Mystic Yellow Heavenly Dao, Li Ping cannot naturally stand on the side of the sea of clouds.
"Since I'm here, I'll make you submit."
"No need for futile struggles."
In an instant, his consciousness envelops the entire sea of clouds.
The scenes on the tens of thousands of sparsely distributed islands and countless creatures in the sea all appear in Li Ping's mind.
Li Ping falls silent for a moment.
"This is a necessary sacrifice."
A firm determination flashes in his eyes. Threads of golden light emerge from him and spread throughout the sea of clouds.
The power approaching the essence of the source can only be sensed by Nascent Divinity cultivators in the sea of clouds.
In just a few breaths, the golden light covers various areas of the sea of clouds. It penetrates deep into the ocean, reaching the seabed.
Under the sea of clouds, unknown and intense tremors begin to occur.
If viewed from the sky, the entire ocean surface seems to have formed a giant net, covering this blue and vibrant sea.
Suddenly, dark clouds gather in the sky.
The once calm sea surface is now churning with turbulent waves, even more violent than during previous storms.
Some islands collapse unexpectedly, and the spirit islands with cultivators also become precarious in this storm.
Cultivators in the sea of clouds watch the changes in the sky and earth with uncertainty.
Some cultivators with keen spiritual awareness faintly sense an impending disaster and immediately change color, fleeing through the transmission array of the Myriad Immortals Island.
Their actions attract the attention of quite a few people. A small number of cultivators choose to follow suit.
However, the majority of people scoff at these "fearful and timid" escapees.
They, feeling secure on Myriad Immortals Island, watch the spectacle of the sea of clouds changing in the sky and earth.
Li Ping pays no attention to those fleeing cultivators and is indifferent to the onlookers.
From start to finish, his target has been the remaining consciousness in the sea of clouds.
The golden net, invisible to ordinary cultivators, has sealed the sea of clouds.
The energy of the original force essence is accumulating and evolving within, forming a grand array.
The consciousness of the sea of clouds noticeably feels the increasingly tight restraint of the golden net, causing even more violent waves.
However, in Li Ping's eyes, it's just impotent rage.
"How to erase the consciousness of the world?"
Li Ping constructs the formation while contemplating this question.
"I refine many gods with sentient beings."
He quickly thinks of this unparalleled deadly formation.
"A formation that can block even True Immortals should pose no big problem when dealing with the remaining consciousness of the world."
"Numerous meaningless thoughts will impact..."
As Li Ping arranges the formation, strange scenes start appearing in the sky above the sea of clouds.
Those are distorted, despairing faces.
They howl and wave their arms.
As if seeking help, yet seemingly just instinctively wailing.
On the sky canvas, increasingly bizarre faces emerge.
Densely packed, almost filling every part of the field of vision.
The creatures in the sea of clouds gradually stop hearing anything other than the wailing of faces.
"Ah!"
Those with weak wills are quickly influenced by these demonic faces, becoming equally desperate and frenzied.
As for those who can barely hold on, they soon fall into boundless and horrifying nightmares.
They vaguely seemed to witness a black sun rising in the sky, a terrifying scene where the entire world was on the brink of destruction.
Just like facing the desperate demonic faces in the sky, they collectively experienced this unimaginable catastrophe.
The teleportation array of Myriad Immortals Island remains active.
However, all the cultivators who saw thousands of faces in the sky lost the ability to control their thoughts.
Regardless of their cultivation level, from Qi Refining cultivators to Nascent Divinity island lords.
All of them were in the same state.
Although their minds were filled with boundless despair, they couldn't generate any thoughts of wanting to escape.
It's crucial to note that Li Ping's formation was not targeting these cultivators, but they got affected nonetheless. It's imaginable the cruel scene the consciousness of the sea of clouds is facing.
The remaining consciousness of a world in a state of a region is utterly unable to resist.
Amidst the continuous miserable howls of countless demonic faces, Li Ping sensed that the will of the sea of clouds was dissipating.
The towering waves were gradually calming down.
It seemed that everything would pass, and clear skies would return.
However, Li Fan knew that the sea of clouds would be different from now on.
The process of erasing the consciousness of the sea of clouds lasted a whole day.
During this period, every cultivator who entered the range of the sea of clouds was affected, falling into terrifying illusions.
But with no mass casualties, the Myriad Immortals Island had not reacted yet.
The dark clouds dispersed from the sky, and the sea of clouds became clear as if washed.
The silence was somewhat eerie.
Li Ping felt the scattered consciousness of the sea of clouds in the sky and earth.
The golden net slowly retracted, bringing back the already fragmented world remnants into his body.
"Ugh..."
As Li Ping absorbed the consciousness of the sea of clouds, countless scenes began flashing in his mind.
Even though he was accustomed to constantly monitoring everything within the Great Opening of the Holy Dynasty, the amount of information between the two was not on the same level.
In the vast ocean, there are not only human beings but also myriad creatures reproducing below the calm sea surface.
From Li Ping's subjective perspective, he wouldn't pay much attention to these creatures without wisdom.
However, he is now passively absorbing.
In the concept of world consciousness, these fish are essentially no different from human cultivators.
Li Ping endures the intense pain in his sea of consciousness and accepts all this information.
As if swallowing a powerful tonic, the intensity of his soul also expands like an inflated balloon.
Li Ping's soul is already robust among cultivators.
But in this rapid expansion, inevitable cracks appear in his soul.
Ordinary cultivators encountering such a situation would have no choice but to wait in despair for their soul to scatter.
But Li Ping is different.
With the Heavenly Emperor's Qi Canon and the transcendent essence of the source within him, he anchors not only the billions of people in the Great Opening of the Holy Dynasty but also the transcendent essence beyond the mundane.
Golden energy surges, repairing the wounds in his soul.
It also serves as a supplement for the expanding soul.
After the initial dangerous stage, Li Ping gradually adapts.
When the pain subsided, the soul began to rapidly expand.
The world consciousness, even if only the remnants of a regional land, is an absolute tonic for cultivators.
In the past, when the former Holy Emperor Li Ping supervised and monitored various affairs within the Great Opening Realm, he still perceived and dealt with myriad trivial matters from the perspective of "humans." However, from now on, Li Ping, who has absorbed the consciousness of the sea of clouds, might be able to oversee all the details of the Holy Dynasty from the perspective of the "world itself."
After the demise of the consciousness of the sea of clouds, there was a windless period for seven days.
Li Ping stood between the sea and the sky, waiting for the fusion to be complete.
Even without intentional effort, Li Ping, who had devoured the consciousness of the sea of clouds, could still effortlessly perceive everything happening within the sea of clouds.
He saw the affected cultivators still struggling with madness, even after he suppressed their divine abilities. After this calamity, hardly any cultivator retained their sanity.
He observed the red flames of the world's soul brewing in the sky, but due to the demise of the sea of clouds' consciousness, there was no longer a need for it to descend and burn the sea. The concentrated power of the laws quietly dispersed.
He witnessed the central part of the sea of clouds, where the Cloud Water Heaven Palace was about to reappear from its seal, becoming silent again after a mysterious blue halo flashed.
He also observed that the abnormality in the sea of clouds drew the attention of certain entities in the Xuan Huang Realm. Several massive divine senses descended and swept across the ocean. However, with Li Ping replacing the consciousness of the sea of clouds and seamlessly blending into the world, along with his personal formation and the concealment of the Xuan Huang Heavenly Dao, Li Ping went unnoticed.
...
Although he temporarily concealed his actions, Li Ping still felt a vague sense of crisis.
"It seems this is not a place to stay for long," thought Li Ping after thoroughly absorbing and digesting the consciousness of the sea of clouds.
However, before returning to the Great Opening of the Holy Dynasty, he had one more thing to do.
His figure flickered, and Li Ping instantly arrived at the underwater vicinity of the sea of clouds and Flowing Cloud Island.
In the abyssal crevices here, there existed a peculiar vortex.
In the center of the whirlpool, a light blue bead emitted a faint glow.
"The Azure Sea Bead."
As part of the sea of clouds' consciousness hedging its bets, the Azure Sea Bead was the last resort prepared by the sea of clouds for its survival.
Li Ping reached out, and the light blue bead flew out from the underwater vortex to his palm.
"Now that it has become a part of the Xuan Huang Heavenly Dao, let's sever the connection with the past."
Golden energy enveloped the Azure Sea Bead, and then infused forcefully.
After the light faded, the bead in Li Ping's hand had turned from light blue to deep blue.
However, it lost its previous agility.
Li Ping had completely erased the last trace of faint consciousness from the sea of clouds within the Azure Sea Bead.
"From now on, the Azure Sea Bead is just a simple bead, with no connection to the sea of clouds."
Instead of storing the bead, Li Ping randomly shot it towards a corner of the sea of clouds, waiting for someone with fate to find it.
After doing all this, Li Ping finally left the ocean.
All the cultivators in the regional land turned into fools.
When the Myriad Immortals League finally detected the changes in the sea of clouds, they were extremely furious.
While investigating, dealing with these dangerously mad cultivators also became a problem.
In the end, it took the joint efforts of five Dao Integration experts to barely resolve the chaotic situation in the sea of clouds.
Among these five people happened to be Sun Luyuan, the head of the Sun family.
He had previously gone to great lengths to contact the Empty Depths Fairy.
Having thoroughly investigated the background of Empty Depths, Sun Luyuan knew she was straightforward and expressive. She was also particularly curious about novel things. So, Sun Luyuan concocted a half-truth, half-false story.
"I heard before that Fairy, you once transformed an ungrateful male cultivator into a dog, torturing him day and night?"
"That scene was truly unbearable to look at. Interestingly, I encountered a similar scene when I traveled to a small world before. It was also a means of punishment, transforming criminals into strange beasts..."
Sun Luyuan shared some stories from his experiences within the Great Opening Realm.
"And by the way, according to your description, the development level of this small world seems quite extraordinary..."
After several casual mentions, Empty Depths was indeed attracted.
After agreeing that if there was a chance, she would visit with other well-known members of the league, Sun Luyuan was overjoyed.
He even thought of using Empty Depths' name to deceive more outstanding talents from the Myriad Immortals League.
But before the plan was executed, the league faced a sudden tragedy. Sun Luyuan had to temporarily halt the deceptive plan.
Originally, the mess in the sea of clouds had nothing to do with him.
However, Chief Guardian Xuanyuan Xian suddenly assigned him a task privately.
Thus, Sun Luyuan had to make a long trip reluctantly.
"Clear Wind Hall. This is the place."
After subduing and gathering all the crazed cultivators attacking people, Sun Luyuan arrived at the building on Myriad Immortals Island.
There was no sign of the breath of living beings inside.
Only after Sun Luyuan truly walked in and saw the internal situation did his pupils suddenly shrink.
An old man lying on a wooden chair had roots like tree tendrils growing all over his body, tightly entwining and fixing him to the ground.
Although the old man hadn't completely died, there was still a trace of breath. But to Sun Luyuan, he seemed no different from a dead person.
As if the soul had been completely consumed by these eerie roots, only an empty shell remained.
"So this is the guard that Senior Xu mentioned, from the Clear Wind Hall. With at least Yuan Ying cultivation, yet died so mysteriously," Sun Luyuan shook his head slightly.
His gaze left the old man, scanning the interior of the Clear Wind Hall.
After a moment, he discovered a hidden entrance.
Being cautious, Sun Luyuan stepped into it through the vaguely visible green seams.
An somewhat empty space.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
The ground-shaking sounds continued.
Following the source of the commotion, Sun Luyuan unexpectedly saw a large tree with human feet running on the ground.
Running frantically.
In the center of the tree trunk, there was an extremely aged face.
At this moment, the face of the tree was filled with endless horror.
While the large tree ran wildly, its two feet were not enough to support its body, causing it to fall and climb continuously. Yet, it never stopped its frenzied movement.
It murmured to itself, "Another calamity is coming. This terrifying scene, even in Father's most malicious curse, I have never seen it!"
"But it has never happened!"
"It's not fake, not fake!"
...
The treeman's speech was incoherent, contradictory, and impossible to understand. Yet, it was deeply immersed in its own psychosis, and even Sun Luyuan's attempts to communicate were futile.
"Alu has gone mad."
At this moment, a crisp female voice suddenly sounded in Sun Luyuan's ear.
"Huh?" Sun Luyuan was surprised.
Because he had previously searched in detail, and apart from the treeman, there seemed to be no one else here.
But immediately, Sun Luyuan thought of the task entrusted to him by Senior Xu.
He immediately asked, "Is it Senior Qingfeng?"
The female voice did not respond.
"I'm here on behalf of Senior Xu to take you back."
"According to him, this spirit wood has gone mad, and the passages within its body cannot be used. So, Senior Qingfeng is trapped here."
Sun Luyuan said while carefully observing the surroundings, trying to confirm Qingfeng's location.
But even with his Dao Integration-level observational skills, he still found nothing.
"Alu has gone mad." The female voice continued without directly responding.
Sun Luyuan couldn't help but frowned slightly, wondering if this female cultivator had also been affected by the demonic faces and gone insane.
"Alu was the one I got along with the best. Now that it has gone mad, who will play with me in the future?"
The haunting voice echoed in this not-so-large space.
Intermingling with Alu's occasional mournful cries, it sent shivers down one's spine.
For some reason, Sun Luyuan unexpectedly felt the same horror he had experienced when wandering in the Great Opening of the Holy Dynasty.
"Senior Qingfeng..." Sun Luyuan hesitated and coughed lightly.
Although he didn't know the relationship between this female cultivator named Qingfeng and Senior Xu.
But if the usually stern and unemotional Senior Xu took the rare initiative to find him, it was enough to show that their relationship was definitely not ordinary.
Fortunately, things didn't develop as Sun Luyuan had expected.
Qingfeng seemed to sob quietly for a while and finally emerged from the sorrow.
"It turns out you were sent by little Xu. It seems he hasn't forgotten about me."
With just this simple sentence, Sun Luyuan's hairs stood on end.
"Little Xu? Senior Xuanyuan Xian?"
Sun Luyuan almost suspected that he had misheard.
Senior Xu had been the Chief Guardian of the Law Enforcement Hall for over three thousand years, a bona fide old monster.
This young-sounding girl, however, addressed him as 'little Xu'...
If she wasn't insane, how old was she?
Who exactly is this Qingfeng?
Countless thoughts flashed through Sun Luyuan's mind, but he didn't dare to think too deeply, and his expression became more cautious.
He didn't dare to address her as "Senior Qingfeng" again, and instead, cautiously changed his wording, "Senior, why don't you reveal yourself? Is there anything I did wrong? Should I address you differently?"
After a moment of silence in the space.
Qingfeng's somewhat strange voice sounded behind Sun Luyuan.
"I have been here all along, haven't I?"
"Oh, right. I forgot, generally, people can't see me."
Qingfeng's words made Sun Luyuan break into a cold sweat.
"Senior Xu said that he will send someone to deal with this mad spirit wood later. Please, Senior, come back with me temporarily," Sun Luyuan hurriedly said.
"Ah! That's great. I knew Alu could be saved." Qingfeng, like an innocent girl, instantly exclaimed with joy.
"It's all because that apocalyptic scene was too frightening, temporarily frightening it. If you hadn't come, I wouldn't have had anyone to talk to for a long time."
Qingfeng's voice approached Sun Luyuan.
Finally, it seemed to stay on his back.
"Alright. I'll listen to little Xu and leave here temporarily."
"The atmosphere here has changed and doesn't make people feel comfortable anymore."
Feeling the seemingly real weight on his back, Sun Luyuan's heart raced, wiping off the cold sweat on his forehead.
"Can I just leave, Senior?" he asked tentatively.
"Yes, I'm already on your back."
Qingfeng's words confirmed Sun Luyuan's guess.
Sun Luyuan didn't dare to linger and left this bizarre space directly.
The sound of the insane spirit wood continued to echo here.
"Shall we return to the Immortal Alliance headquarters?" Sun Luyuan, who was flying rapidly in the Sea of Clouds, asked again.
"No, not there. It makes people uncomfortable. Let's go to the Luoyan Province."
Qingfeng's mood seemed to have improved, speaking cheerfully.
"Luoyan Province?" Sun Luyuan nodded.
Senior Xu's task was simply to bring Qingfeng out and place her in the Qingfeng Hall of another province.
Sun Luyuan didn't hesitate and headed towards Luoyan Province.
On the way, he was also contemplating the true identity of the person on his back.
There was the boundless artifact at home, and Sun Luyuan considered himself knowledgeable enough.
However, he had never heard of anything similar to Qingfeng before.
Even Qingfeng's strength was uncertain to him.
Senior Xu had him make this long journey just because he was worried she was trapped?
From this perspective, Qingfeng's strength shouldn't be that high.
But Qingfeng's bizarre expressions and various strange behaviors made Sun Luyuan's heart tingle.
Obviously, this invisible and intangible existence named Qingfeng was not simple.
Sun Luyuan lamented in his heart and accelerated his speed.
He just wanted to complete the task quickly and get rid of the other party.
Qingfeng remained silent along the way.
And he was getting closer to Luoyan Province.
Seeing liberation in sight, Qingfeng's sudden words made Sun Luyuan feel like he had fallen into an ice cave.
"You seem a bit impatient."
"Indeed, there are very few people in this world who treat me well."
Sun Luyuan felt a chill rising from his heart.
Although Qingfeng didn't say anything next, his sense of unease grew stronger.
"What's not quite right?"
Sun Luyuan knew that some changes were happening to himself.
However, he couldn't perceive the specific details of the changes.
It wasn't until Sun Luyuan entered the territory of Luoyan Province, casually glancing downward, that he suddenly realized.
At this moment, he was very close to the ground.
A scorching sun hung overhead.
But oddly, there was no shadow on the ground.
Sun Luyuan was well aware that he hadn't cast any spells to conceal his form.
Yet, his shadow had disappeared.
He, somewhat bewildered, extended his arms.
It seemed like he was becoming ethereal.
His existence was fading away.
Soon, he would become intangible, just like that Qingfeng.
The sudden change was too fast, leaving Sun Luyuan's mind and even his fear unsettled.
His brain was in a state of confusion.
Just as Sun Luyuan felt his connection with this world was growing increasingly faint...
A fierce golden light surged out from within him.
Shifting his perspective back a moment.
The Faceless Holy Emperor, who had devoured the residual world will in the Congyun Sea and returned to the Small World of Great Awakening, finally gained a more concrete understanding of the changes within him.
Previously, he needed to focus entirely on various intricate matters within the Holy Dynasty, leaving little spare time for contemplation. But now, with only a third of his power utilized, Li Ping effortlessly handled all internal affairs of the Holy Dynasty.
Aside from the pure quantitative growth of his divine soul, Li Ping felt that his perception had become sharper.
Overlooking this vast world, he discovered the nascent consciousness of the Small World due to the world's elevation. Before this, the Small World of Great Awakening operated instinctively without the apparent "personification" seen in the Mysterious Yellow Heaven Dao. However, due to Li Ping's continuous modifications, it now met the basic conditions for self-awareness.
The birth of world will was a considerably lengthy process. According to Li Ping's estimate, at the current normal speed, it would likely take at least a millennium. However, if Li Ping continued to promote the Great Awakening's elevation, this time would be shortened to a certain extent.
The current state of the Small World of Great Awakening was entirely due to Li Ping's alterations. The flourishing aura of the Holy Dynasty, merged with Li Ping, had a powerful influence on the Small World, causing subtle changes.
Despite being cultivators nurtured by heaven and earth, in Li Ping's case, the current Small World of Great Awakening seemed more like his creation. The grace of remaking, akin to the parents of heaven and earth...
Seated on the Holy Emperor's throne, profound insights kept emerging in Li Ping's mind.
These were not only derived from his own thoughts but also aided by the assistance of this world.
Li Ping felt that he had captured some crucial information.
However, at this moment, his thoughts were inexplicably disrupted by a sudden mental alert.
"Hmm?"
Upon investigation, Li Ping found that within the Force Essence Web he had laid out, there were signs of a prey attempting to break free.
A peculiar ripple emanated from the individual, as if trying to escape the golden net's restraint.
"Sun Luyuan?"
Li Ping still had some impression of this Combined Dao cultivator who had recently expressed allegiance to the Holy Dynasty.
"Could it be that the people from the Immortal Alliance have discovered and intervened?" Li Ping couldn't help but think.
However, he quickly sensed what was happening to Sun Luyuan.
"Huh?"
Li Ping's expression turned somewhat serious.
Utilizing the Source Force Essence within Sun Luyuan's body, Li Ping instantly arrived at his side.
He placed his hand on Sun Luyuan's shoulder, and a golden surging force continuously poured into his body.
Before long, Sun Luyuan's slowly becoming transparent figure solidified once again.
"Thank you for saving my life, Holy Emperor." Reacting to what had just happened, Sun Luyuan expressed his gratitude and lingering fear.
Li Ping withdrew his hand slowly, but the sensing connection didn't leave Sun Luyuan's back.
Unable to directly observe the existence named "Qingfeng" and even influenced by Qingfeng's insights into the external world, Li Ping was limited.
"You're an interesting person."
If it weren't for Qingfeng's voice coincidentally sounding, Li Ping almost thought it was Sun Luyuan's illusion.
It was hard to believe that within the Mysterious Yellow Realm, there were things that Li Ping couldn't observe.
"What are you?" There was no insult in Li Ping's tone; instead, he asked with some solemnity.
Sun Luyuan lowered his head, concealing his facial expression.
Unexpectedly, Qingfeng wasn't angered either. "I also want to know. Unfortunately, I forgot. My memory isn't very good. Besides Little Xu and Alu, my impressions of others are somewhat shallow..."
"What's your name?" Qingfeng asked.
"Li Ping." Li Ping replied succinctly.
From Qingfeng, he felt a similar aura to Yin Shangren, but it was subtly different.
"Perhaps I can help you remember." Intuition told him that the secret within Qingfeng could be helpful in future conflicts with the Immortal Alliance. So, he took the initiative to offer.
"Hehe, I feel you're not well-intentioned." Unexpectedly, Qingfeng saw through his intentions.
"It seems there are very few who treat me well in this world," Qingfeng's tone turned bitter and low.
Upon hearing this, Li Ping's golden source power spontaneously surged within him.
This was a sign of actively protecting oneself being triggered.
Since Qingfeng chose to act, Li Ping wouldn't hold back either.
Behind him, the magnificent shadow of the Holy Dynasty suddenly appeared.
Uninterrupted golden light flew out from the Dynasty's image.
Forming a giant hand, it directly seized the location where Qingfeng was.
Since he couldn't observe the opponent, Li Ping decided to directly block and take away the space where Qingfeng was, bringing it back for further study.
However, Qingfeng, elusive and mysterious, wasn't someone easily subdued by such a simple method.
The golden hand returned to the Dynasty's image, leaving only a black void as proof of a space that had completely disappeared.
Yet, Qingfeng's voice still came from that void.
"Do you want to take me back?"
"Do you want to be with me forever? If so, why resist?"
"Meaningless." Responding to Qingfeng, the Faceless Holy Emperor snorted coldly.
On Li Ping's originally featureless face, indistinct facial features surprisingly manifested.
But it didn't look like an ordinary human. It seemed more like the evolution of different energies.
Especially those two eyes, silver-white vortexes, dazzling like the Milky Way in the sky.
"The power of heaven and earth, bestowed upon me."
Li Ping's majestic voice echoed like thunder.
The sky over the Luo Yan Province instantly changed its colors due to these words.
"If you want to drag me down, it depends on whether you have the weight for it!"
Sensing the extremely close connection between himself and the Mysterious Yellow Heaven Dao, Li Ping then released the protection of the golden source power, allowing Qingfeng's mysterious power to engulf him.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Thunderbolts flashed in the dense clouds, and the earth trembled slightly.
For a moment, the color of Li Ping's body faded.
But soon, it returned to normal.
On the other hand, there were some faint blurry images being pulled out on Qingfeng's side!
"I found you!"
Two beams of light shot out from Li Ping's vortex-like eyes like chains, locking onto Qingfeng.
"Come out!"
Li Ping shouted violently, and the golden giant hand appeared again.
Grabbing the silver chain, he pulled forcefully.
The small, healing black spatial vortex from before showed signs of violently collapsing outward.
As the space of Luo Yan Province in the Mysterious Yellow Realm continued to collapse, Qingfeng was slowly pulled, revealing her true form.
Surprisingly, it was a willow tree with fluttering branches!
However, Qingfeng was obviously not an ordinary tree; at first glance, it seemed like a willow tree, but upon closer inspection, it displayed characteristics of various other trees.
After pulling out most of Qingfeng's true body, the silver chains stopped advancing, holding in mid-air.
As if encountering tremendous resistance.
Despite looking so battered on the outside, Qingfeng seemed to feel no pain whatsoever.
She just kept muttering to herself, as if she really remembered something because of Li Ping's actions.
"Where is this..."
"What has happened over these years?"
"I am Qingfeng? No, this is the name Xuyuan gave me. My original name is..."
"Is..."
"Tian..."
"Tianyin?!"
At the same time, a silver radiance flew out from the willow tree towards Li Ping.
The speed of the silver radiance was incredibly fast, almost appearing in front of Li Ping in an instant.
Aiming straight at his brain, at the location of his sea of consciousness.
The automatic protection of the golden source power was also fast to the point of unimaginable.
A shield appeared in front of Li Ping, colliding violently with the silver radiance.
There was no earth-shattering explosion; only the intense annihilation of each other's radiance.
"Run?"
At the same time, Li Ping vaguely sensed the warning conveyed by the Mysterious Yellow Heaven Dao.
It was a warning, urging him to escape quickly.
Li Ping's heart sank, glancing forward.
Under the consumption of the golden source power essence, the brilliant silver radiance slowly revealed its true form.
It was an ordinary-looking silver needle.
Although the radiance enveloping it was gradually fading, the threat it posed to Li Ping did not diminish in the slightest.
"At this moment, with the power of the Mysterious Yellow Heaven Dao, I am already considered half a Transcendent Realm."
"Yet, I'm having a difficult time dealing with a small silver needle..."
Li Ping felt no discouragement, but rather a bit of anger.
Along with the silver needle, an elderly and benevolent face appeared in Li Ping's mind.
"It seems there is no way to avoid involvement with the people from the Heavenly Law Realm."
"Huo Luan Xuan Huang, his crimes must be punished!"
Li Ping's heart was filled with unceasing killing intent.
However, he also knew that he was not currently a match for the Heavenly Physician, so he had to temporarily withdraw.
The silver chain tightly held in his hand suddenly loosened, and Qingfeng, or rather Tianyin, her voice once again becoming transparent.
"Let's go."
Li Ping didn't have time to care about the other party at the moment.
While resisting the attack of the silver needle, Li Ping prepared to leave Luo Yan Province.
In the midst of the crisis, he didn't forget to bring the already stunned Sun Luyuan with him.
Wrapped in golden source power, Li Ping's figure also slowly faded.
The Heavenly Physician's silver needle did not pursue; instead, it returned to Tianyin's body, suppressing her within the intangible.
Before leaving, Li Ping vaguely heard a sigh in the air.
"Tianyin, where does your desolate melody fall..."
"Tianyin, where does your desolate melody fall."
When Li Ping completely disappeared within Luo Yan Province, the disturbances in the heavens and earth did not decrease.
On the contrary, it intensified.
Lightning bolts descended crazily, and the violent thunderstorm seemed like the end of the world.
Or rather, the true apocalypse had arrived.
Because a figure as black as ink had already descended into Luo Yan Province.
If Li Fan were here, he would surely recognize this familiar presence.
It was the Essence of Heaven and Earth, Mo Sha!
As the ultimate doomsday method of the Mysterious Yellow Heaven Dao, it decisively manifested after Li Ping left.
Mo Sha first glanced at the direction Li Ping left, then transformed into ten thousand, then into a hundred million.
Without any hesitation, it proficiently transformed into endless ink.
To completely eradicate Luo Yan Province.
Mo Sha descended, and this time the spreading speed was much faster than the ink extermination Li Fan had once experienced.
The cultivators of Luo Yan Province had no time to resist or escape.
In the time it took for a teacup to be drained, the once desolate but still vibrant Luo Yan Province had completely turned into nothingness.
And Mo Sha's sudden appearance, exterminating an entire province, had alarmed many hidden powerhouses within the Mysterious Yellow Realm.
But at this moment, Luo Yan Province no longer existed.
Even if they wanted to find some clues, they were helpless.
The impact of Mo Sha's abrupt annihilation of a province had just begun.
In the Grand Opening of the Holy Dynasty, in the Holy Emperor's seat.
Li Ping sat upright, and the remaining power of the Mysterious Yellow Heaven Dao in him made him aware of what had happened in Luo Yan Province.
He knew that this was the Mysterious Yellow Heaven Dao taking action to prevent himself from being detected or tracked by the Heavenly Physician.
Combined with Luo Yan Province being a fragment of the Heavenly Law Realm, the Mysterious Yellow Heaven Dao was determined in its cleanup.
"That woman, named Tianyin?"
"Like the Heavenly Physician, she has the ability to peer into people's hearts."
"She is intangible, hidden in the Mysterious Yellow Realm. In addition to her own abilities, there is also the possible influence of the Heavenly Physician's silver needle."
"Although I don't know the exact purpose, it is certainly not a good thing for the Mysterious Yellow Realm itself."
Although the encounter with the Heavenly Physician ended in failure, it made Li Ping aware of the gap between himself and the Heavenly Physician.
"The Transcendent Realm Master, and even stronger."
"It seems that the road I have to take is still far."
"But this time, I used the power of the Mysterious Yellow Heaven Dao limitedly. Originally, I just wanted to intimidate that woman. If it comes to a life-and-death struggle, the empowerment of the Mysterious Yellow Heaven Dao can be increased by dozens of times."
"My Grand Opening of the Holy Dynasty still has an unlimited future."
"And, the Fishing Pond is a treasure. Perhaps it can bring me some surprises from beyond the high walls."
Self-pity is not Li Ping's style.
After a brief failure, he immediately started summarizing and seeking solutions.
"But this alone is not enough."
Naturally, Li Ping thought of the sealed malice in the Mysterious Yellow Realm.
This time, after devouring the remnants of the Congyun Sea, he had a clearer understanding of the world's will.
"If I can devour the Mysterious Yellow malice..."
"The power of the Mysterious Yellow will return to completeness, and I will undergo a qualitative change."
"It seems that this matter must be put on the agenda."
...
While Li Ping was contemplating, Sun Luyuan was trembling, hiding under the Holy Emperor's seat, afraid to move.
The recent performances of the Holy Emperor, Tianyin, and the silver needle left Sun Luyuan deeply shocked.
Clearly, he was also a Dao Fusion cultivator, but in front of them, he was like a child with no resistance.
"How do you view that woman named Tianyin?"
After a long time, the voice of the Holy Emperor of Fate reached Sun Luyuan's ears.
