Zhu Xian: The way of heaven collapses, and I only have one sword!

Chapter 74: Cut the Heavenly Dao with a Sword in Three Days!
"One sword opens the gate of heaven!"

Chen Qiye roared, the immense power of the peak Taiqing realm within him frantically gathering in his palm. He held the Autumn Water Sword in his hand, and with a flick of his wrist, the Autumn Water Sword, like a stream of light, carried with it boundless momentum, stabbed towards the black tentacles that filled the sky.

In an instant, the clouds shifted, and the sky, once shrouded in darkness, seemed to be torn apart by an invisible giant hand. A golden crack slowly emerged. The light emanating from the crack was even brighter than the sun. The crack widened, and behind it, a strange world shrouded in mist and shimmering with celestial light could be vaguely seen.

The gates of heaven opened, radiating immortal light. A powerful aura poured down through the cracks, blending with the golden light surrounding Chen Qiye, boosting his power once again. The golden light, like an indestructible shield, shattered the black tentacles, transforming them into wisps of smoke that dissipated between heaven and earth.

"Chen Qiye, don't forget, I am the Heavenly Dao. I have almost no consumption here, but you are different. You are only at the peak of the Taiqing Realm. Your spiritual power will eventually be exhausted. How long can you hold on?" The incarnation of the Heavenly Dao snorted coldly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Qiye curled his lips into an unruly sneer. "So what if it's the way of heaven? Since I dare to stand here today, I have never thought of retreating. And I haven't taken it seriously yet. Next, it's time to put an end to you! Fairy Sister, let's go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Qiu Shui Wuhen sword in his hand disappeared, and was replaced by an iron sword about three feet long, with a blade made of ordinary steel and even a little rusty.

At the same moment, a tall figure hovered beside Chen Qiye. Her snow-white sleeves fluttered in the wind, revealing a graceful and elegant woman. Her every move exuded elegance and nobility, and the radiant sword energy that lingered around her was intimidating.

Everyone looked at the woman who suddenly appeared, and they were all deeply shocked for a moment. The whole place was so silent that you could hear a pin drop, and only the roar of energy came from the confrontation between Chen Qiye and the incarnation of Heaven.

Taoist Master Daoxuan's eyes widened in disbelief. As the head of the Qingyun Sect, he had cultivated for many years and had seen a great deal, but he had never seen such a powerful being. The sword energy lingering around the woman, the majestic and pure power fluctuations, filled him with a sense of awe, and at the same time, he was secretly grateful that Chen Qiye had such help.

Lu Xueqi stared blankly at the woman floating beside Chen Qiye, a mixture of emotions welling up in her heart. On the one hand, she was delighted that Chen Qiye had received such powerful assistance, knowing that he might be able to increase his chances of victory in this duel with the Heavenly Dao. On the other hand, seeing the woman's peerless grace and powerful aura, she couldn't help but feel ashamed of herself, and an inexplicable unease quietly grew in her heart.

The members of the Demon Cult were stunned. The Poison God, Yu Yangzi, and the Three Wonderful Fairies looked at each other in bewilderment. They had originally thought that despite the setbacks in their attack on the Qingyun Sect, they would be able to escape unscathed thanks to the strength of the four sect leaders. However, this sudden change made them realize that this battle between good and evil had long since transcended their understanding.

A complex look flashed across the Ghost King's eyes, and his understanding of Chen Qiye deepened. He had already believed he was an extraordinary person, but now it seemed that Chen Qiye's background far exceeded his imagination. However, at this moment, he was also worried for Chen Qiye. He was well aware of the terrifying power of the Heavenly Dao. Even with this woman's help, the outcome was unpredictable.

Just as everyone was thinking about their own things, Mother Jian looked at Chen Qiye beside her with her beautiful eyes and gently said, "Chen Qiye, do you still remember that oath?"

"Of course I remember. That was the oath I made when I first met the Fairy Sister. It is so vivid in my memory. How could I possibly forget it?" Chen Qiye said with a slight smile.

"Well, repeat the oath with me again." After she finished speaking, Mother Jian stretched out a palm and held it in front of Chen Qiye.

Chen Qiye stared at Jian Ma's jade-like hand with a blazing gaze. He took a deep breath, slowly extended his hand to shake hers, and solemnly said, "When the laws of nature collapse, I, Chen Qiye, possess only one sword. I can move mountains, sever rivers, overturn seas, subdue demons, subdue monsters, command gods, pluck stars, destroy cities, and even split the sky!"

There seemed to be an invisible force gathering between the two people's clasped hands. It was a force that transcended the rules of the world and shook the origin of heaven and earth.

"Chen Qiye is still in this world. Even if you are the Way of Heaven, what does it matter? Don't even think about taking a single step forward. Swords are coming!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mother Jian held Chen Qiye's hand. As their powers blended, she slowly closed her eyes, and her consciousness seeped into Chen Qiye's body like a thread, taking over his actions.

Under the control of Sword Mother, Chen Qiye's body was slightly suspended. The golden light surrounding his body perfectly merged with the sharp sword light of Sword Mother, forming a dazzling and strange halo.

After Sword Mother took over Chen Qiye's body, she slowly raised the rusty old sword. At this moment, everything in the world seemed to stand still, and everyone's eyes were focused on this person and sword.

As the Sword Mother poured her power into Chen Qiye without reservation, an unprecedented, terrifying aura erupted from his body. The aura was so strong that even the power of the Heavenly Dao Incarnation trembled. The rust on the old sword blade peeled off under the impact of this power, revealing its true blade.

"Kill!" Through Chen Qiye's mouth, Mother Jian let out a roar that shook the heavens and the earth. This roar was like the resounding sound of a huge bell from ancient times, shaking the entire world.

Instantly, a golden sword energy whistled out from the old sword. Wherever it passed, space crumbled like shattered glass. This sword energy contained boundless destructive power, yet also carried an indescribable sense of order, as if to completely annihilate all injustice in the world.

Upon seeing this, the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao surged with a frenzied white light, attempting to block the terrifying sword strike. It harnessed the boundless power of the Heavenly Dao, condensing it into an impenetrable shield, blocking its path. However, this seemingly impenetrable shield proved as fragile as paper before the combined sword energy of Chen Qiye and Sword Mother. The golden sword energy pierced the shield unhindered, bearing unwavering momentum as it charged towards the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao.

A look of terror finally appeared on the face of the Heavenly Dao Incarnation. It struggled frantically, trying to dodge the fatal blow. However, the sword energy was so fast that it had no time to react.

"Boom!" With a resounding roar, the golden sword energy slashed heavily upon the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao. Suddenly, a radiant light filled the air, enveloping the entire world. Within this radiance, the body of the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao began to rapidly crumble.

The golden sword energy slashed the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao. Amidst the shining light, the body of the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao quickly collapsed and turned into countless white streams of light, fleeing in all directions.

Mother Jian snorted coldly and controlled Chen Qiye's body. The power around her burst out again. A powerful devouring force surged out of Chen Qiye's body, forming a huge vortex, which swept in the fleeing Heavenly Dao lights.

"Want to escape? It's not that easy."

As the light of the Heavenly Dao was continuously sucked into the vortex, the Supreme Dao Flower in Chen Qiye's sea of ​​consciousness swayed wildly. The originally crystal-clear petals now became even more dazzling, and the runes glowed brightly, beginning to blend with the absorbed Heavenly Dao power.

Outside, everyone watched in amazement. They had never witnessed anything so shocking. Chen Qiye's body was under immense pressure as he refined the power of the Heavenly Dao. A golden glow shone on his skin, and his bones crackled, as if ready to break at any moment.

Mother Jian was concentrating on controlling Chen Qiye's body, constantly guiding the power of Heaven to merge with the Supreme Dao Flower. Even though Chen Qiye would disappear in three days, she wanted to maximize the effect before that.

As time passed, the Supreme Dao Flower in Chen Qiye's sea of ​​consciousness gradually merged with the power of the Heavenly Dao, emitting a brand new aura. This aura contained both the majesty and mystery of the Heavenly Dao and the vitality and vigor of the Supreme Dao Flower.

As the fusion completed, Chen Qiye's body gradually regained its composure, and the golden light slowly faded. He slowly opened his eyes, and a sharp light flashed in them, containing the power to control heaven and earth. However, his body also entered a countdown at this moment.

Chen Qiye slowly landed on Qingyun Square. He looked at the people from the Demon Sect, especially the emerald green figure. He panted and said, "Let's go back. Let's end today's matter here."

The Ghost King looked at Chen Qiye, a mixture of emotions welling up in his heart. Though he felt resentful, he also understood that Chen Qiye now possessed the power to change the world, and no one could stand against him. Nodding slightly, the Ghost King said in a deep voice, "Chen Qiye, since you've spoken today, I will take everyone away. But the bond between you and me will not end here." With that, he turned to face the Demon Cult and waved his hand, "Retreat!"

The Demon Cult retreated like a tide. Although Yu Yangzi, Poison God, and San Miao Fairy were reluctant, they had no choice but to follow the Ghost King's footsteps. They knew that today's failure was only temporary and the Demon Cult would not be silenced.

After the Demon Cult members left, the Qingyun Sect disciples' tense nerves finally relaxed. They gathered around Chen Qiye, their eyes filled with awe and admiration.

Taoist Master Daoxuan stepped forward, patted Chen Qiye on the shoulder, and said with satisfaction: "Qiye, your actions today not only protected Qingyun Mountain, but also rewrote the world's pattern. You are the pride of Qingyun Sect and the hope of the entire cultivation world."

Chen Qiye smiled wryly, fully aware of his own physical condition. Looking up at the sky, he knew this brief period of calm was only the quiet before the storm. "I'm at the end of my rope now, and time is running out..."

Lu Xueqi snuggled up to Chen Qiye. She noticed something strange in his words, and her beautiful eyes were filled with worry. She asked anxiously, "Qiye, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by time is running out?"

Chen Qiye turned his head and looked at Lu Xueqi's face which was full of concern. He felt reluctant in his heart, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know where to start.

"Three days, I only have three days left..."

As soon as Chen Qiye finished speaking, Lu Xueqi felt dizzy and her eyes were instantly blurred with tears. She subconsciously grasped Chen Qiye's hand, as if he would disappear if she let go. "Qiye, how could this happen? What happened? There must be a way, right?"

Chen Qiye gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks and said gently but helplessly: "Qier, this is the price of going against the way of heaven. From the moment I chose this path, I have been prepared."

Lu Xueqi burst into tears and shook her head desperately: "No, I don't believe it. I don't want you to leave me. There must be a way. Let's find it together, no matter what the cost."
