Chapter 70: The River of Broken Blades
Gu Shan stared at Lu Chen, his ancient, weathered brow twitching in disbelief before settling into a long, quiet sigh."Willow trees?" Gu Shan murmured, looking out through the pavilion’s arched balcony toward the endless ocean of purple clouds. "Cold Mountain has frost, iron, and granite that has remained frozen since the first sun rose in the Barren Heavens. The sword winds there are so sharp that even high-grade spirit bamboo snaps within three winters. If a willow could grow on those cliffs, the elders of the Nine Heavens Sword Pavilion would have cut it down long ago to kindle their forge."Lu Chen smiled faintly, setting down his empty jade bowl. "Then someone ought to plant one."Gu Shan studied the youth for several heartbeats. He looked at Kuang Yan, whose broad chest was scarred from battle, and Chu Qingxuan, whose hand remained poised over her frost-sheath with the unyielding devotion of an ancient swordswoman. Neither companion protested;
Chapter 69: The Three Paths of the Upper Sky
The words of Envoy Gu Shan did not merely echo across the assembly platform; they fell like lead weights into the hearts of ten thousand cultivators.Elder Xue Gu stood frozen, his clawed hands shaking within his crimson sleeves, his Fifth Layer Earth Origin aura suffocating in his throat. Across the northern and western pavilions, envoys from the Great Jin and the iron-blood clans sat in stone-faced silence. To question the decree of the Violet Void Palace on the open terrace was to invite an extinction decree upon one's own sect.Yet behind those lowered eyes, killing intent festered like poison in an uncleaned wound."First of All..." Xue Gu hissed through clenched teeth, his voice a barely audible rasp as he stepped back toward his blood-galley. "A mortal scholar from an unranked border school. Let him enter the Barren Heavens. Let him see what happens to a tender shoot when the mountain winds begin to blow."High above, Gu Shan did not s
Chapter 68: The Audit of the Upper Sky
The silence upon the white jade assembly platform was so absolute that the snapping of imperial war-banners in the upper stratosphere sounded like whip-cracks.Ten thousand cultivators—elders of ancient aristocratic clans, inner masters of the sacred grounds, and disciples who had arrived from the thirty-six mortal dynasties—stared down from tiered observation terraces.None of them looked at the two hundred wounded survivors who were sprawled across the jade flagstones, bandaging burns and weeping in gratitude for daylight. Every gaze, sharp as drawn steel, was riveted upon the single youth standing at the head of the exit gate.Lu Chen’s dark azure robes were scorched at the hem, coated in fine volcanic ash from the sovereign's petrified spine. His right arm remained tucked securely within his sleeve, the golden scripture-bands beneath the fabric throbbing with a dull, rhythmic heat as they bound his fractured forearm. In his left hand, the pale gre
Chapter 67: The Great Barren Compass
The sky did not simply fall; it unraveled in sheets of petrified lightning.Across the northern shale plateau, two hundred freed prodigies dragged themselves to their feet, their robes soaked in cold sweat and their own drained blood. The needles that had pinned their collarbones were gone, but their spiritual seas were battered, their meridians trembling under the violent spatial turbulence tearing through the valley."Up! Get on your feet if you want to see the sun again!" Kuang Yan roared, his voice cutting through the thunder like an iron hammer. He hauled a wounded disciple from the Azure Sky Sect over his shoulder with one arm, his heavy iron spear held ready in the other. "Form up behind Canglan! Any straggler who falls into a fissure stays in the pit!"Chu Qingxuan moved along the outer flank of the retreating column. Her autumn-water sword traced continuous, silver arcs through the air, sending frost-waves into the falling boulders and shattering them into harmless gravel bef
Chapter 66: The Nullifying Leaf
The upward whip of the green willow branch made no sound, yet it bent the crimson air of the plateau as though striking the surface of a taut drum.Yan Wushang felt the marrow inside his arms turn to ice. The kinetic shockwave he had unleashed—a strike heavy enough to pulverize an iron gate—had not vanished; it had merely been borrowed. As the slender green wood whipped across the flat of his primordial bone greatsword, every ounce of that deflected momentum returned in reverse, channeled with the terrifying clarity of unwritten celestial law.Snap.The petrified bone blade did not shatter, but the three structural flaws Lu Chen had decoded along its central marrow-groove flared with blinding emerald luminescence. A vibration high enough to shatter quartz shot straight through the hilt, exploding through Yan Wushang’s forearms.The skin across Yan Wushang’s wrists tore open in concentric rings. His grip failed, and the colossal bone
Chapter 65: The Rusted Monolith of Bone
The sky over the Valley of Fallen Gods did not merely darken; it tore open like bruised flesh.With three of the four sovereign pillars dismantled, the ancient sacrificial array had lost its equilibrium. Above the petrified skull of the dead god, the firmament warped into an inverted funnel of pitch-black lightning and violently spinning spatial rifts. Chunks of shattered mountain floated upward into the void, caught in the violent updraft of escaping celestial Qi.On the eastern terrace, the surviving Golden Dragon Guards had already abandoned Prince Jin Wuji’s crippled body, fleeing southward along the crumbling ridges in a frantic scramble for the trial ground’s outer boundaries.Kuang Yan leaned heavily on his iron spear, watching the earth crack beneath their boots. A thirty-foot trench split the stone three paces from where he stood, exposing glowing subterranean magma mixed with rotting divine blood."The whole valley is going down, Ch
