Simulation becomes reality, have I ever looked down upon the eternity?

Chapter 512 Heretic Master, who exactly are you?

The torrential rain poured down, weaving a silvery-gray curtain of water between heaven and earth. Lightning flashed like dragons tearing through the sky, and thunder roared, making eardrums tremble.

This torrential rain has gone beyond the scope of a thunderstorm; it's like a celestial river bursting its banks.

The White Snake Lady emerged gracefully from the rain, her pure white robes completely dry.

Her face was as pale as newly pasted window paper; she opened her mouth, revealing fine, closely spaced teeth, her smile icy.

Cold sweat trickled down the backs of Xu He and the other two.

Yang Chen and the others didn't have time to ponder why this water god of the Yanghua River could break through to the Dao Embryo realm.

The water droplets in the sky have formed water swords.

Like a bowstring drawn taut in mid-air, poised to be released, the White Snake Lady, holding an umbrella, gently waved her hand.

【uniform!】

In an instant, ten thousand swords were unleashed, the sound of them tearing through the air like the fluttering of bees, ripping the rain curtain into shredded silver threads.

Jian Susu was terrified; she couldn't possibly muster any spiritual energy left!

Yang Chen had already made his move, his hands forming a hand seal. A dark inkstone grew larger in the wind, its ink-colored halo forming a barrier in front of everyone.

The water jet struck the black screen, shattering into countless shards of glass-like light, filling the house with mist.

You gaze thoughtfully at the rain of swords unleashed by the White Snake Lady.

Yang Chen and Tao Ziming exchanged glances. They both came from the same peak and had developed a tacit understanding through several trials.

Tao Ziming placed both hands on the ground, instantly creating the array's focal point, forming a large, dark yellow array.

[It expanded instantly, taking over the entire Xu residence.]

【"disease!"】

The area where the grand formation was located was rich in earth element, and earth overcomes water, thus pushing away the heavy moisture that had trapped the Xu residence.

Qi Ling also made her move, unleashing a torrent of fire from her magical sword—the Blazing Fire Sword from the "Five Elements Escape Sword Scripture."

Water and fire are mutually generating and mutually restraining.

Yang Chen initially thought that with Qi Ling's cultivation level, even if she used fire magic, she would be no match for the White Snake Lady. However, to his surprise, the true fire did not extinguish upon contact with water; instead, it burned even more fiercely. With a flap of the fire phoenix's wings, all the water swords in the sky shattered, turning into rising mist that spread across the surrounding area.

In an instant, the rain of swords shot out from outside was all dispersed by the fiery cloud spewed forth.

Tao Ziming's expression turned to surprise, "This is no ordinary fire... it's the flame of the True Phoenix."

The two of them worked together to neutralize the moisture, and the thunderstorm outside subsided considerably.

The White Snake Lady remained outside in the rain, holding her umbrella, showing no hurry to make a move.

Yang Chen stepped forward, unleashing his magical power in the fight, his voice booming like thunder: "White Snake Lady, you still hold the position of Water Goddess, do not make a mistake. If you remain obstinate today, Fangcun Mountain will fight you to the death, and in that time, there will be no place for you in the Central Plains of Yuzhou!"

A soft laugh came from behind the rain curtain. The White Snake Lady parted her lips slightly, her voice laced with sarcasm: "Fangcun Mountain? Nothing but a den of filth and depravity. Does it deserve to call itself a righteous sect?"

She slightly raised the edge of her umbrella, revealing a pair of cold, serpentine eyes. "On the path of cultivation, the strong are respected. Today, I will sacrifice my blood to the people of Qingyang County, forging my supreme foundation, so that I may... truly be reborn."

Yang Chen's tone turned cold. "Then there's nothing to talk about."

He reached into his storage pouch at his waist and pulled out an object resembling a green bamboo slip, its surface shimmering with dark gold runes.

[With a tap of his knuckles on a certain spot on the tube, the front end of the bamboo tube exploded like a thunderclap, and a blazing white streak shot into the air, tearing a dazzling crack through the thunderclouds, as brilliant as a celestial sword piercing the sun.]

[The "Nine Heavens Summoning Order" of Fangcun Mountain—This message was felt by fellow disciples within a thousand miles!]

The White Snake Lady quickly used her magic to intercept them.

Yang Chen suddenly shouted, "Zi Mo, now is the time!"

The talisman in Tao Ziming's hand, without any flame, floated down slowly.

The Xuanhuang Grand Array that was just laid out on the ground has begun to reverse, forming a new array beneath your feet.

"Great Teleportation Talisman, instantly teleporting a thousand miles."

Yang Chen's "Nine Heavens Summoning Order" to gather his fellow disciples was merely a ruse; his true intention was to escape this place.

This trial has revealed something strange; we need to return to Fangcun Mountain and discuss it carefully.

Yang Chen's expression changed. What was going on?

[You were not teleported away; instead, the magic circle lit up and you are still in the same place.]

Tao Ziming's face turned grim. "This place has actually been sealed off by a magic spell that prevents air movement!"

[The White Snake Lady lightly raised her hand, and suddenly, the rain seemed to come alive, coiling around and enveloping the lingering "Nine Heavens Summoning Decree."]

The blazing white light struggled for a moment within the rain-soaked cocoon before finally fading into darkness, like a extinguished spark.

She ascended slowly through the rain, her white embroidered shoes leaving ripples that formed steps where they touched the ground.

[The White Snake Lady's eyes, looking down at the crowd, reflected a monstrous wave: "Ridiculous. In this world, I am like a god."]

The hero suddenly looked up and saw that the sky had transformed into a churning curtain of water, with towering waves surging among the clouds.

The entire Yanghua River appears to hang upside down from the sky, churning like a giant dragon amidst thunderclouds.

"You're insane!" Yang Chen roared. "The flooding of Xuyang County has claimed millions of lives! Under the God-Slaying Decree of the Nine Righteous Sects, even if you escape to the ends of the earth beyond the Four Continents, we will fight to the death!"

Yang Chen now understood why he couldn't teleport earlier: the White Snake Lady had already poured the waters of the Yanghua River into Xuyang County, just like in the White Snake Lady's underwater palace.

This water god wields power over the Yanghua River akin to that of heaven and earth.

[A "Water God" with cultivation at the mid-stage of the Heavenly Gate realm, residing in his own water palace.]

Cold sweat beaded on Yang Chen's forehead—how could they possibly contend with such an existence?

[Xu He and the other two had somehow escaped into the cave, their faces filled with panic, as if they were searching for some treasure.]

Yang Chen should have been able to extract the truth from these three by now, but the White Snake Lady's aura was like a leech, binding them together; the slightest movement would invite a thunderous strike.

Among the group from Xiaoqing Peak, only Qi Ling remained calm, the fire in her eyes still burning.

[Jian Susu's face was filled with terror. Faced with such danger, she was so frightened that her face turned deathly pale, and she stood frozen in place.]

Tu Ying silently took a half step back, secretly forming a hand seal in her sleeve, and earth-elemental spiritual energy quietly flowed through her meridians.

The wealthy man, however, held a broadsword in his hand, looking slightly excited and eager to try it out.

Tao Ziming's expression remained indifferent, but his brows were tightly furrowed.

"The Xu family's porcelain."

A voice rang out.

Yang Chen's eyes lit up as he looked at Zhou Jing, who stood out from the crowd. Their eyes met.

Yang Chen only saw a pair of calm eyes, devoid of any emotion.

"Zi Mo, take down Xu Ci first."

Tao Ziming's figure flashed into the cave like a ghost. When he reappeared, his hands were gripping Xu Ci's shoulders like iron clamps, dragging the trembling boy to the front of the formation.

Seeing this, you can sense the decisiveness of this woman from Qiyun Peak.

Xu Ci was led out, her face ashen. She looked up at the white-clad figure in the air, her lips trembling but unable to utter a sound.

Yang Chen said, "Forgive me!" "White Snake Lady, this is indeed your husband. If you attack again, don't blame me for being ruthless and merciless."

The smile on the White Snake Lady's lips suddenly froze.

The torrential rain seemed to freeze at that moment, eerily.

Then came a maniacal laugh, "Haha, he's a heartless man too."

"If it weren't for the child in my womb, I would have killed him with my own hands long ago."

"Damn it, you all deserve to die!"

[Look up, and you'll see that although the White Snake Lady is trying her best to conceal it, there's still a slight bulge in her abdomen.]

Upon hearing this, Xu Ci was utterly dejected, collapsing into the mud, her eyes devoid of any light.

Yang Chen sensed something was wrong; things didn't seem to be going as they had imagined.

【"Buzz—"

A strange sound wave suddenly emanated from the White Snake Lady's belly, distorting the air like ripples on water.

The voice seemed to pierce directly into their souls, causing everyone to feel dizzy and disoriented. Their spiritual energy receded like a receding tide, leaving them powerless to continue. Their magic was gone, and they felt lightheaded and disoriented.

[The hero was the first to give in; his fingers loosened, and the broadsword clattered to the ground.]

[Tu Xing had just activated his "Earthwalking Technique" to escape, and had barely burrowed into the ground when he fainted.]

You were too weak to move and fainted, just as you were in a muddy, dry place.

[Jian Susu gritted her teeth and persevered, drawing blood, but ultimately it was too late, and she fainted.]

[A phantom ink brush appeared behind Yang Chen, struggling to outline half a rune, but it shattered inch by inch under the impact of the sonic wave. He staggered, kneeling on one knee, and finally collapsed into the muddy water.]

The incident happened so suddenly that no one had time to react.

The White Snake Lady showed no sign of triumph; her gaze was fixed intently on the only figure standing in the arena.

Qi Ling slowly raised her head, two golden flames igniting in her eyes, her voice like tempered iron: "You deserve to die too."

[Having said that, he spat out a living phoenix. The moment its feathers appeared, the clouds and rain instantly vaporized, and blazing white waves of energy surged like angry dragons, soaring straight into the heavens.]

The roof tiles of the entire Xu residence crackled and shattered in the intense heat, and the ancient locust tree in the courtyard spontaneously combusted, bursting into flames that shot into the sky.

A fiery phoenix soared out in a swirling flight.

Upon seeing this, the White Snake Queen's eyes revealed a hint of apprehension as she looked at the Fire Phoenix. "Who exactly are you? You can't possibly be a disciple of Fangcun Mountain."

Qi Ling's aura shifted once more, surging rapidly until it reached the mid-stage of the Heavenly Gate realm.

The hair behind him moved without wind. "Who I am is not important. What's important is that it's time for you to set off."

The White Snake Lady looked terrified; she couldn't muster the slightest will to resist the crimson-gold phoenix.

Water and fire are incompatible; the phoenix and the white snake are naturally restrained.

As the phoenix drew closer, the plain umbrella had already turned to ashes.

[As the phoenix's cry pierced the air, and fiery feathers swept towards me—]

"Help me!" she suddenly cried out in a desperate voice.

Upon hearing this, Qi Ling's eyes narrowed, and the fire phoenix instantly spun around to protect her. She was on high alert, staring intently at the young man who had appeared before her at the front of the formation.

Xu Ci stood with her back to him as if waking from a dream, so much so that even Qi Ling didn't notice her.

Xu Ci turned around, revealing the same stunningly beautiful face, but the pupils of her eyes were different now.

[They are clearly the same person, yet their divine intentions are completely different.]

Qi Ling knew that this was no longer Xu Ci.

The boy stood with his hands behind his back, a calm smile playing on his lips.

He glanced at the White Snake Lady and said casually, "There were outsiders present just now, so I won't criticize you."

"What should we call it now?"

The White Snake Lady trembled slightly, and like a young girl, she lowered her head and twisted her sleeves, saying, "Husband, husband."

Xu Ci nodded, but instead of looking at Qi Ling, she gazed into the cave dwelling.

"I hope this time my wish will be fulfilled, and I won't have been trapped for eight hundred years in vain."

A chill ran down Qi Ling's spine—this "Xu Ci" before her showed no trace of spiritual energy, appearing as mortal as ever. Yet, her Heavenly Gate Realm spiritual sense swept over her, like a mud ox sinking into the sea, unable to fathom her depths.

This only proves that the other party's cultivation has reached the realm of returning to simplicity and truth, far surpassing hers!

Even more terrifying was the phrase "eight hundred years." Qi Ling's fingertips trembled slightly. Only cultivators who had broken through to the Dragon Court Realm could enjoy such a long lifespan.

She secretly circulated all her magical power, but the fire phoenix on her shoulder let out an uneasy cry, its feathers standing on end and trembling slightly, clearly afraid of this person.

Xu Ci rubbed her temples and muttered to herself, "Stop making trouble. If you keep doing this, I'll banish your soul to the vast East Sea."

"Your body is excellent, but you don't know how to use it. I'll help you."

"Moreover, my escape was entirely thanks to you. Consider it repaying the debt I owe you. Once I return to the Eastern Azure Continent, I'll find you a new body."

"To make you my disciple is a blessing that countless people would rather die for."

Xu Ci's aura suddenly became erratic; the fingers pressing his temples turned slightly white, and golden light and black mist flickered alternately in his eyes.

"Enough!" he suddenly hissed, his voice hoarse with a hint of struggle. "I promise you, I will not commit any murders today."

[As soon as the words were spoken, the suffocating pressure gradually subsided.]

Xu Ci then turned her gaze to Qi Ling and said with a faint smile, "The True Spirit Clan has already disappeared. I didn't expect to meet them here."

Xu Ci suddenly looked up and said, "That's strange. Even if you're from a True Spirit family, how could your bloodline be so pure? The fire phoenix on your shoulder... is it a True Spirit refined into a second primordial spirit?"

[Qi Ling, having been seen through, showed shock for the first time.]

"Who exactly are you?"

Xu Ci flashed an innocent smile, "I'm Xu Ci!"

He didn't say much, simply extending his hand as if flicking his sleeve.

Qi Ling felt her center of gravity shift and she fell to the ground, unable to stand. She could no longer use her magic power, her body was weak, and the fire phoenix on her shoulder dissipated. Her face was ashen.

"Come with me to the Easternmost Divine Land."

Qi Ling felt short of breath. The Eastern Divine Continent was a land of unorthodox sects and lowly individuals; could this person be a master of an unorthodox path?

The White Snake Lady had landed, following humbly behind Xu Ci.

Xu Ci looked at the five members of Fangcun Mountain who had already fainted and laughed, "I promised not to kill anyone today, but I have plenty of ways to make you die tomorrow."

He exhaled a cloud of black miasma, enveloping the group.

A soft sigh suddenly rang out, and the miasma was dispersed.

Xu Ci, who had been completely in control, suddenly paused, looked at one of the unconscious people, dusted himself off, and stood up.

He narrowed his eyes slightly. "Who exactly are you?"
