Breaking through the illusion of the mortal world

Chapter 121 Domain Confrontation

Qiu Xiaochi's face was grim. The Zhenwu Sect seemed to have undergone a complete transformation, with everyone's cultivation level making great progress.

As the deputy hall master, he was naturally aware of the strength of the Zhenwu Sect. He originally thought that resisting for a period of time would not be a problem, and that he could simply wait for reinforcements.

But the Zhenwu Sect's overwhelming offensive shattered his confidence.

Since Lu Ming brought back the Martial Ancestor's legacy, the Zhenwu Sect has undergone a complete transformation in a short period of time, but how could Qiu Xiaochi know that?

But he knew he couldn't allow these three to wreak havoc so recklessly in his own formation, especially those Crescent Moon Cannons, which were key to stopping the True Martial Sect's offensive.

His figure flickered, as if he had teleported, and he appeared directly in front of Lie Xiushan, blocking his way.

"Old ghost Lie, why rush things? Your opponent is me, Qiu." Qiu Xiaochi's effeminate voice rang out as he slowly raised his hands, his ten fingers gently plucking the strings as if playing a pipa.

As he moved, the surrounding light suddenly dimmed, as if dusk had arrived early, or as if eternal night had suddenly descended.

A profound energy suddenly surged forth.

This energy seemed capable of devouring sound and light, and even life itself.

This is Qiu Xiaochi's Eternal Night Solitude Domain, which rapidly envelops Elder Lie Xiushan from his center!

Within the domain, all was silent; even the sound of one's own blood and qi flowing, and the beating of one's heart, became barely audible.

A suffocating feeling that imprisoned the soul surged in like a tide, attempting to freeze Lie Xiushan's fighting spirit and blood energy that burned like a volcano.

Lie Xiushan's expression hardened. He sensed the strangeness and power of this domain; it was an attack that directly affected the spirit and the source of energy.

He dared not be negligent; his body exploded like a furnace, and golden-red aura burst forth! Solar Domain!

Extreme light and heat, like the real sun descending, collided violently with the all-consuming realm of eternal night!

"Sizzle!"

Two diametrically opposed forces are eroding each other.

The golden-red and dark lights flickered wildly at the boundary, forming a huge energy vortex that stirred up the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth, causing even space to appear unstable and distorted.

The two powerful figures finally engaged in the highest level of domain confrontation, with energy raging within a radius of a thousand feet!

Meanwhile, Shen Yuan and Wang Yuan seized the precious opportunity when Qiu Xiaochi was restrained by Elder Lie Xiushan, and like two sharp arrows, they instantly broke through the already sparse interception in front and rushed to the Crescent Moon Cannon that was constantly spewing out pillars of death light!

The emplacement is built on a prominent, massive rock, its exterior inscribed with runes. The deep muzzle is gathering energy again, preparing for the next shot.

"Sky-Splitting Finger!"

"Collapse of mountains and earthquake!"

The two elders worked in perfect harmony, striking at the same time!

Shen Yuan pointed his fingers like a sword, and a beam of extremely refined white-gold light shot out like a spatial rift, precisely hitting the gap in an energy transmission node connecting the cannon base and the mountain!

With a soft "poof!", the internal structure of that node was instantly destroyed by the extremely sharp Geng metal energy, the energy transmission was abruptly interrupted, and the light condensed at the muzzle dimmed instantly.

Almost at the same time, Wang Yuan's simple and unadorned punch slammed heavily onto the huge rock base where the cannon emplacement was located!

This punch, carrying immense shockwave power, penetrated the hard rock and directly transmitted into the intricate magic array structure and energy circuits inside the turret!

"Click...click..."

The sound of the formation's internal structure collapsing rang out frequently.

The seemingly intact Crescent Moon Cannon suddenly trembled violently, its barrel twisted and collapsed with a crash!

The explosion burst forth from within, completely reducing it to a burning pile of ruins!

A fortress that posed a significant threat to the Zhenwu Sect was thus completely destroyed!

"Well done!" Seeing this, the Zhenwu Sect disciples at the breach were greatly encouraged, and their attack became even more fierce and violent, with shouts of battle shaking the heavens and the earth.

Meanwhile, the defenses of the Heavenly Palace were under increasing pressure due to the loss of a key artillery position and the tying down of the deputy palace master. The breach was teetering on the brink of collapse and seemed to be on the verge of being completely breached at any moment!

During the battle with Lie Xiushan's domain, Qiu Xiaochi sensed the destruction of the artillery emplacement, and a flash of heartache and rage crossed his eyes.

However, he was currently entangled by Lie Xiushan's blazing and domineering domain, which was as intense as the sun, and was unable to break free. He could only watch helplessly as the defense line continued to deteriorate.

A grand war epic unfolds on the desolate stage of Litian Cliff, painted in the most brutal way, with life and will.

At the center of the collision, light and darkness continue to tear each other apart.

Lie Xiushan's golden-red aura was like a blazing sun suspended in the sky, each ray of light carrying a domineering aura, constantly squeezing the Eternal Night Domain outwards.

The rocks beneath his feet melted into magma, and with each breath he took, he drew upon the blazing energy of the heavens and earth, causing every inch of his body to roar.

"Chou Xiaochi, bring on whatever other tricks you have up your sleeve!" Lie Xiushan's voice boomed.

Qiu Xiaochi's expression grew increasingly grim. He had roamed the land for many years and rarely encountered an opponent, but now he was being subtly suppressed.

"Old ghost Lie, I have plenty of tricks up my sleeve, don't get too cocky!" Qiu Xiaochi's voice echoed in the eternal night, sometimes near, sometimes far, its direction indistinguishable.

Suddenly, the moonlight burst forth in the midst of the eternal night, and a sliver of inconspicuous moonlight pierced straight into Lie Xiushan's brow.

The radiance pierced his very soul, and Lie Xiushan had no time to dodge.

The light pierced into Lie Xiushan's brow, causing him pain. His eyes widened, and a golden-red rune suddenly bloomed between his brows.

"True Martial Heart Seal, suppress!"

With a low shout, a blinding light rippled out, and an invisible martial arts intent swept out.

He actually forced that ray of moonlight out from between his eyebrows.

Lie Xiushan took a step forward, and his solar domain suddenly contracted, but the light surged, like a small sun hanging in mid-air, competing with the moonlight.

Lie Xiushan unleashed both fists simultaneously, the wind from his punches carrying the true fire of the sun, transforming into two giant fire beasts several meters long, one on the left and one on the right, crashing into the depths of the eternal night.

Wherever the fiery behemoth passed, the moonlit night retreated step by step, and the sunlight gradually prevailed.

Qiu Xiao formed hand seals, chanting, "Burial of Gods Seal!"

A gigantic seal rose from the moonlight and collided violently with the fiery beast!

"boom!"

The deafening roar reverberated throughout the area where the two were fighting, but the violent energy fluctuations and sounds raged within the area without spilling outwards.

The two began to fiercely clash, devouring each other and gradually becoming indistinguishable.

But Qiu Xiaochi was the first to give in, and was forced to retreat repeatedly. The Eternal Night Domain shook violently and began to dissipate.

Qiu Xiaochi was shocked and furious, never expecting Lie Xiushan to be so strong.

"Impossible... How could your cultivation have progressed so quickly!"

Lie Xiushan took a step forward, his aura intensifying: "What, do I need to specifically inform you every time I break through in my cultivation level?!"

Lie Xiushan raised his hand and grabbed, gathering the power of the sun in his palm, condensing it into a battle blade several feet long.

The blade was entirely golden-red, wreathed in flames, and even before it made a cut, its aura already cleaved through the darkness.

"Today, I will use the true fire of the sun to completely illuminate your eternal night!"

Qiu Xiaochi's expression changed drastically. He gritted his teeth, a glint of light flashed between his brows, and his aura suddenly surged.

The power of Yin began to gather continuously between Qiu Xiaochi's eyebrows, and a small moon rose from between his eyebrows.

As soon as the moon appeared, the surrounding light suddenly dimmed, and even the true fire of the sun shrank slightly.

"The moon is obscuring the sun!"

When the moon appeared, heaven and earth fell silent.

Lie Xiushan's eyes were piercing, showing no fear, and he raised his Qi Blood Battle Blade high above his head.

The golden-red blade's light shot into the sky, heading straight for the moon.

At this moment, light and darkness stood still, and heaven and earth fell silent.

The next instant, the sunlight surged!

Qiu Xiaochi's Eternal Night Domain is crumbling inch by inch.

Qiu Xiaochi was sent flying backwards, looking rather disheveled.

Lie Xiushan stood with his sword in hand, like a war god, his imposing aura enveloping the entire area.

"Qiu Xiaochi, you have lost."
