Above the dark clouds, silver moonlight bathed the sky in a gentle glow. Under the moon’s illumination, Yue Chan’s primary form danced gracefully, her long hair cascading like waves. Her celestial physique, delicate yet ethereal, radiated an otherworldly beauty. She accelerated to the peak of her speed, employing the formidable ability “ Reducing a mile to an inch” (shrinking the earth to inches), continuously launching attacks without pause.
If Shi Hao had not possessed the divine swiftness of the Kun Peng, he surely would have been at a great disadvantage in this battle. Both of these movement techniques were among the most supreme in the world, revered as the pinnacle within their domain.
On Shi Hao’s back, Yue Chan’s secondary body gazed forward with eyes brimming with brilliance. She constantly analyzed and contemplated, offering insights and revealing weaknesses in her opponent.
“Are you so obstinate that you must stand against me until the end?” The icy fairy from the opposing side spoke. She was beautiful, ethereal under the flowing moonlight, her voice magnetic and enchanting.
“Since we have parted ways, you are you, and I am I. If you wish to slay me, then come forth.” Yue Chan’s secondary form replied, her voice firm as she lay upon Shi Hao’s back, refusing to look back.
“Then so be it. Sever this bond and we shall become strangers from this day forward. Today, let this strike mark the end—a path severed without sentiment.” Yue Chan’s primary body whispered softly. Cloaked in moonlight, her figure became even more indistinct, her crystalline body glowing with boundless radiance.
“Caution! Her physique is unique; she can commune with the silver moon, drawing forth limitless divine power!” Shi Hao heard the warning from behind him.
Though both stemmed from starlit energies, the sun and moon, being closer to the earth, enabled a far more potent communion, sometimes rivaling divine punishment.
“Boom!”
True to the warning, Yue Chan’s primary body radiated a divine glow, merging with the heavens and earth. The shining moon above seemed to swell a thousandfold in an instant.
Infinite moonlight rained down, bathing the battlefield in silver whiteness, as if transporting them to a sacred paradise—holy, brilliant, pure, and transcendent.
At the center of it all stood Yue Chan, all the lunar essence flowing toward her like flowing waves. She became the embodiment of light, with a divine moon forming behind her.
“Hmm?!” Shi Hao’s expression shifted. For a moment, she seemed transformed into a legendary moon goddess, graceful and radiant, but most importantly, radiating an overwhelming divine energy.
“Chi!”
With a single pointed finger, Yue Chan unleashed a ray of silver-white light, slicing through space like a lightning strike, radiating immense divine fluctuations that inspired awe and reverence.
Shi Hao’s palm gleamed as he unleashed a true bolt of lightning, colliding head-on with the beam. Instantly, divine brilliance erupted, creating a violent explosion of energy.
Yue Chan’s primary body stepped forward, her movements light and ethereal. Above, the limitless sky surged like a vast ocean of white brilliance, all converging into her body, forming a radiant divine moon that enveloped her.
She exuded an increasingly superhuman aura, like a celestial maiden descending from the moon palace to the mortal realm.
Entire arrays of glowing symbols shimmered across her body, and with a cry, she called out, “Seal!”
The heavens trembled. This time, at the mere flick of her hand, radiant divine light surged, coalescing into beams that rained down from the sky, overwhelming in their might.
Shi Hao was momentarily stunned; this was almost absurd. These beams descended directly from the moon itself, a relentless barrage. It was akin to a divine punishment.
He dodged swiftly while the Human Emperor’s Treasure Crown atop his head flared with light, dissipating the moonlight and lessening the divine assault.
“Be wary,” Yue Chan’s secondary form warned, “this is merely the beginning. As the moonlight intensifies, so too will her power. She will summon forth beasts like the True Dragon and the Phoenix, and her techniques will become even more terrifying.”
Shi Hao nodded in acknowledgment and transformed into a golden Peng, racing along a beam of moonlight descending from the heavens, charging toward Yue Chan.
A dragon’s roar echoed, and the silver moonlight condensed into a colossal True Dragon, spanning across the sky, majestic and mighty in its tremendous scale.
This time, the Dragon’s Treasure Art surged forward, its power amplified by the moon’s energy. It carried a sanctified yet explosive might, roaring as it rolled in like a crushing force.
At the same time, a Divine Phoenix emerged, crimson tinged with silver-white, blending together into a terrifying presence.
At that moment, Shi Hao had a strange sensation—as though Yue Chan’s true form had transcended the limits of the Venerable Realm, exuding overwhelming power that commanded the great Dao of the entire world.
It felt unsettling, like an opponent beyond his ability to counter.
“Boom!”
The two divine beasts struck together, their combined force nearly unstoppable.
Shi Hao was hurled backward, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. It was the strongest pressure he had felt from any peer in his generation.
“Fascinating!” He wiped the blood from his lips, his eyes gleaming with renewed determination.
“Endure. Though she can wield this immense lunar sanctity, it cannot last,” Yue Chan’s secondary form reminded him.
“It’s nothing,” Shi Hao replied.
In that moment, he began channeling the Glyphs of the Primeval True Canon, immersing his being into an exalted, transcendent state.
“Golden lotuses bloom!” Yue Chan’s secondary body exclaimed in astonishment.
At that very moment, golden lotuses materialized one by one in the void, exuding a deep mystery—an omen closely tied to the great Dao, rarely seen even at the Venerable Realm.
Moreover, his physical body released a fragrance, embodying the Dao’s purity, transcendence, and power to vanquish all opposition.
“At the Venerable Realm, even if some omens arise, they seldom contribute to battle. What use are they?” Yue Chan’s secondary form questioned.
Yet, she remained deeply astonished, for these wondrous phenomena could evolve into tangible Dao Traces in the future, participating in great battles and unleashing boundless might.
Shi Hao did not respond. In an instant, the royal ki of the palace below surged forth, merging into the golden lotuses and amplifying their brilliance, radiating boundless divine energy.
Moreover, the jade seal upon his head emitted a dragon’s roar as countless titanic celestial dragons emerged, merging with the golden lotuses.
In that moment, the void shimmered with golden brilliance, all the lotuses trembling, resonating with the Dao, uprooting themselves to strike forward.
The moonlight was scattered, and golden lotuses blanketed the earth! Each tremor emitted a deep resonance of the Dao—powerful and fearsome.
“Boom!”
The most terrifying clash occurred as the Dao-born lotuses collided with the True Dragon and the Fairy Phoenix, creating a world-shaking ripple that caused the heavens to tremble violently, with Glyphs igniting in a blaze.
It was a terrifying confrontation, and in the end, the moonlight shattered, and the golden lotuses dimmed.
Two figures hurtled backward, both in utter disarray. Shi Hao spat blood once more. The opposing Yue Chan fared no better, her snow-white garments torn, her graceful limbs exposed, and blood trailing from her lips.
“Now! Seize her swiftly!” Yue Chan’s secondary form whispered into Shi Hao’s mind, informing him of the brief weakening state her primary body entered as the lunar divine power receded.
“Very well!” Shi Hao nodded, surging forward at full speed.
With a mighty roar, lightning crackled around him as countless stars emerged, all forged from lightning. The Saber-Toothed Lion’s Treasure Art manifested, ravaging the high heavens.
Among all divine powers, lightning was the fiercest, ideally suited to exploiting a weakened enemy.
But that was not all. Shi Hao had already summoned sword qi, and within the lightning surged endless grass-like glyphs, threatening to rend the void itself.
Additionally, his right hand transformed into gold, unleashing thunderous punches—the Kun Peng’s cry resonating like ear-splitting thunder!
In that instant alone, he employed three supreme techniques, each capable of shattering the greatest prodigies of his generation.
Even a Venerable standing in his way would have to flee, lest they be obliterated.
Yue Chan’s expression changed as she swiftly retreated, but it was too late. She was engulfed in lightning, her body glowing as electric sparks collided violently with her protective glyphs.
“Chi!”
A single blade of grass erupted in a surge of sword intent, piercingly sharp.
Yue Chan countered with treasure arts, but she was still wounded. A sword ray pierced her crystalline arm, blood spilling forth.
As other blades of grass radiated power, their peerless sword intent targeting her neck, chest, and head, Yue Chan’s primary body once again invoked the Heaven-Mending Art.
She could not continuously employ it; it required time to recover. Though she had just reactivated it, her divine power was weakened, reducing its might.
Her shoulder was struck again, blood soaring high, her once-flawless arm now stained with crimson.
At the same time, Shi Hao’s fists kept landing, the Kun Peng roaring as Yue Chan’s primary body rapidly retreated, nearly overwhelmed and coughing blood.
Had it not been for the golden cauldron above her head unleashing divine radiance, blocking Shi Hao’s attacks, she would have been in grave danger, even slain.
However, the treasure seal atop Shi Hao’s head was also an ancient artifact, unleashing divine might, clashing with the golden cauldron, their divine patterns flaring repeatedly.
At this moment, Shi Hao prepared to activate the The Supreme SovereignBone (Imperial Bone), as it had recharged. He was ready for the final blow to suppress Yue Chan’s primary body.
“Weng!”
Metroids rained down, emitting radiant brilliance, bombarding Shi Hao. Meanwhile, Yue Chan’s primary body seized the opportunity to flee.
“Pursue her! This is the perfect moment to subdue her. She is gravely wounded, and her lunar divine power has faded—this is her weakest moment,” Yue Chan’s secondary form whispered from Shi Hao’s back.
Shi Hao assessed the meteorite array. Though powerful, it was clumsily constructed, effective only when targeting a single direction. With his superior movement techniques, he could easily evade. Thus, he pursued.
An enemy wounded and at their weakest was rare indeed—too valuable to miss!
In the void, countless meteors rained down, forming a crude formation that summoned peaks and boulders, roaring through the void with terrifying might.
“Turn left for one hundred zhang, then rush forward…” Yue Chan’s secondary form guided Shi Hao through the formation, his speed skyrocketing as he closed in on Yue Chan’s primary body.
“Be cautious! Though crude, this formation holds some variations. Don’t falter. Don’t lose her!” Yue Chan’s secondary form directed, urging Shi Hao closer, initiating the offensive.
Across the meteor-laden sky, battle reignited as the weakened Yue Chan coughed blood once more, wounded again.
“Boom!”
A deafening explosion rang out, and radiant light erupted. Yue Chan appeared to ignite her latent energy for one final life-or-death confrontation.
“She’s going all out! Quickly put me inside the bronze treasure box, lest I be crushed in your final clash,” Yue Chan’s secondary form implored.
In this final battle, she feared annihilation, her powers sealed.
Shi Hao smiled, saying, “Even if you hadn’t spoken, I would have placed you within the treasure box realm. Watch my final strike—the power of the Imperial Bone shall slay her!”
With that, his entire body radiated brilliance as Glyphs swirled around him. He sent Yue Chan’s secondary form into the bronze box and sealed it away.
Ahead, Yue Chan’s primary body, seemingly sensing danger, fled without engaging.
In the next moment, the heavens erupted. Shi Hao’s Imperial Bone unleashed power beyond imagination, echoing with grand chanting and boundless Glyphs rising in unison.
After fleeing a distance, Yue Chan’s primary body halted abruptly, watching the figure approaching, awash in divine symbols. She smiled serenely.
“Hmm?” Shi Hao, glowing with Glyphs, seemed ablaze, yet he suddenly halted, his expression shifting in surprise. He could not get any closer to the graceful silhouette before him.
Although she was near, it felt as though a vast chasm divided them—a paradox of near and far.
He was momentarily stunned, then swiftly retreated.
“It is too late.” Yue Chan’s primary form radiated boundless radiance, her injuries healing rapidly. Her exposed body gleamed with a translucence, emitting unmatched power. Her flowing hair and celestial grace painted her as an immortal. She spoke calmly, “Did you really believe I was inferior? Weakness? In battles among peers, I have never lost! But beings like you and I are nearly impossible to kill. If one wishes to escape, there are always methods. I merely feigned weakness.”
Endless divine light erupted around her, and in the void, countless Glyphs ignited. Eight ancient formations reawakened, radiating infinite power.
“A divine grand formation—eight of them… You truly value me highly.” Shi Hao seemed astonished before gritting his teeth, “So, was your secondary form deceiving me?”
“She may have had different thoughts, but we share the same origin. She merely lured you into the trap. Now that you have safely sealed her inside the bronze box, you may now depart this world!” Yue Chan’s primary body coldly laughed.
“Indeed, I could have activated the formation earlier, but without drawing you into its center, I could not relax.” She softly murmured, shaking her head.
“Wait a moment!” Shi Hao cried out.
But Yue Chan’s primary body was decisive. She granted him no opportunity. In an instant, she activated all formations. With a deafening roar, divine energy erupted, shattering the figure at the center into radiant fragments.
When the divine might faded, the figure was gone, leaving only the bronze box hovering amidst the Glyph-laden void.
Yue Chan extended her delicate hand and retrieved the box, saying, “Opening it will be no easy task, but once in the Upper World, a master will surely unlock it.”
She inhaled deeply, pausing for a long moment as silvery moonlight gently bathed her, making her appear ethereal and breathtakingly beautiful.
Finally, she began retrieving the formation flags, not wishing to linger long. She dismantled the divine formation, retrieving the various flags hidden within the meteors.
“Xiao Shi was nothing special,” she laughed lightly, radiant and captivating, her tattered clothes revealing her flawless, snow-white skin.
With no mishap occurring, she lingered briefly, relaxed, and prepared to depart.
Suddenly, a meteor exploded, unleashing a vast array of Glyphs, accompanied by the power of Reincarnation (karmic cycles).
“Ah?!” Yue Chan’s primary body was startled, her beautiful eyes constricting sharply.
Before her stood Shi Hao again, his chest nearly transparent, a bone glowing with radiant light upon which a small figure sat. The tiny being rose, emerged from his body, and rapidly expanded, mirroring Shi Hao in every way, wielding the might of an Imperial Sovereign and charging toward her.
In that moment, a chill ran through Yue Chan’s primary body. She instantly understood—the Shi Hao previously destroyed had been the figure seated upon the Imperial Bone, not the true body.
