Chapter 1122: Heaven Collapses, Earth Splits, Mountains and Rivers Turn Upside Down
A few dozen miles outside Xishuo City, on the official road.

Black smoke rose into the sky, and the teahouse exploded in violent energy!

Before the wood chips and rubble could even fly around, they were crushed into powder by the air wave that followed!
The ground within a radius of ten feet undulated like waves, with countless bottomless gullies forming.

Ning Baimei's figure floated back, without spilling a drop of tea from the cup in his hand.

A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, and then turned into solemnity. He tapped the ground with his toes, and the whole person flew up like catkins. A seemingly ordinary long sword flew out from his sleeve, drew a perfect silver rainbow in the air and fell into his palm.

"Since the Soul Master is determined to fight, I will accept your advice."

he whispered.

Before he could finish his words, Cang Yun's halberd swept over with a force of tremendous power!

The halberd was wrapped in materialized black smoke, and the air made an explosive sound wherever it passed. The ground where Ning Baimei had just stood was torn into a three-foot-wide crack by the wind from the halberd, and the top of a small hill in the distance was even cut off by the aftermath!

This is Cang Yun at his peak!
"Hahaha! You hid quickly!"

Cang Yun laughed wildly, and his body covered in black armor suddenly soared into the air.

He grasped the halberd in both hands and chopped it down with the force of splitting the world apart!
This attack was simple and unsophisticated, yet contained the purest destructive power. Before the halberd blade arrived, the ground below had already begun to collapse, forming a huge bowl-shaped pit with a diameter of dozens of feet.

Ning Baimei's pupils shrank. Even with his current strength, he didn't dare to take it head-on. His body suddenly split into seven afterimages.

The split light is like a shadow sword, and the sword shadow is a clone.

The halberd fell, and the six afterimages were instantly annihilated, while the real body flew backwards with the shock wave.

He flipped repeatedly in the air, and the sword in his hand suddenly emitted a dazzling silver light.

"The Light-Splitting Sword... Thousand Silks!"

With a clear shout, sword light appeared like an inverted Milky Way, transforming into thousands of colorful sword threads pouring down. Each sword thread contained the sharpness to cut through gold and jade, interweaving in the air to form a web of death, covering the dark clouds.

"Well done!"

Cang Yun did not dodge or evade, and his halberd danced into a black whirlwind.

The black smoke and sword light collided violently, causing a deafening sound of metal clashing. The space within a hundred feet radius shook violently, and the aftermath plowed countless deep grooves on the ground.

A moment later, a mountain in the distance could not withstand the horrific impact and collapsed!
When the rain of swords subsided, Cang Yun's black armor was already covered with fine sword marks, but the fighting spirit in his eyes became more and more intense. He suddenly thrust the halberd into the ground, put his palms together, and nine hideous ghost heads suddenly appeared behind him.

"Try this...Nine Nether Soul Devourer!"

Nine ghost heads let out shrill screams and pounced on Ning Baimei from different angles.

Wherever it passed, the grass and trees withered and the rocks weathered, as if even the air had been devoured of its vitality.

This wasn't some complicated magic, but when he performed it, it was enough to make the strongest person in the world change color. It was like the simplest fireball... Some people's fireballs could only light candles, but some people's fireballs could be like falling stars from the sky, destroying cities and exterminating countries!
Ning Baimei's expression changed slightly, and the sword drew a perfect arc in front of him.

Wherever the sword passes, space melts and dissipates like rice paper meeting white ink - Qingxu Sword Technique!

The three ghost heads crashed into the melting space, let out a shrill roar, and then disappeared into thin air.

But the remaining six had surrounded them from all directions. Ning Baimei suddenly frowned and had an idea. However, his body flashed and he appeared in six directions at the same time. He stabbed out a sword accurately in each direction.

"Liuhe!"

Six sword lights were like meteors chasing the moon, piercing through the ghost's head at the same time.

Cang Yun groaned, and his soul became noticeably dimmer, but he took the opportunity to rush to where Ning Baimei's real body was and punched him in the chest!

This punch was plain and simple, but it contained the extremely deadly energy of the Ninth Turn of the Styx. Wherever the fist passed, black ice crystals condensed in the air.

"boom!"

Ning Baimei's breathing stagnated slightly, and he hastily drew his sword to block, but the sword was actually bent and deformed by the punch!
He flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and only after crashing into three huge rocks did he manage to steady himself. He spat out a mouthful of blood, staining his snow-white clothes red.

“Hahaha! What’s with the splitting of light like a shadow, and the transformation of the void into a sword? It’s nothing more than that!”

Cang Yun laughed wildly and recalled the halberd. His body suddenly expanded to three meters tall, like a black-armored demon god. He held the halberd in both hands and smashed it hard on the ground!
"The Styx, split the earth!"

The earth shook violently, and a crack dozens of feet wide began to form from the tip of the halberd, spreading towards Ning Baimei like lightning. The inky black water of the Styx gushed out from the crack, and everything decayed wherever it passed!
"You can actually draw the water of the Styx out of thin air?!"

The surprise on Ning Baimei's face did not seem fake.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and suddenly threw the sword into the air.

The seemingly ordinary iron sword suddenly split into thousands, each of which emitted a dazzling white light. He formed seals with his hands, and a bright moon appeared behind him. Countless lightsabers poured down like a torrential rain, colliding violently with the water of the Styx.

The black and white energies intertwined and tore apart, causing an earth-shaking roar. The shock wave lifted up the entire surface within a radius of half a mile. A mountain in the distance broke in half and fell into the river with a loud bang, causing huge waves hundreds of meters high!
When the light faded, Cang Yun's soul became almost transparent. Ning Baimei also knelt on one knee, his white clothes soaked in blood.

The battlefield between the two men had become a ruin. The original official roads and forests had all disappeared, leaving only a huge deep pit with a diameter of nearly a mile.

"Hahahaha! So happy!"

Cang Yun dragged his broken soul and rushed over, still laughing wildly.

He had completely given up on defense. His black armor had long since shattered into pieces, revealing the constantly dissipating soul inside. However, his will to fight became more and more violent, and every time he swung the halberd, it was carried with the momentum of dying together.

Ning Baimei narrowed his eyes slightly and used his body skills to dodge.

The long sword in his hand suddenly became illusory and uncertain, and every time he swung the sword, it left a trace of melting space in the air.

Several sword lights stabbed at Cang Yun from different angles at the same time, and each sword was aimed at the vital point. Cang Yun did not dodge, allowing the sword light to penetrate his soul and body, but the halberd swept out with an even more violent momentum!

"boom!"

Ning Baimei was hit in the waist by the halberd, and flew out like a cannonball, crashing through three hills before stopping.

He struggled to get up and found that his right arm was twisted and deformed and at least five ribs were broken.

"Are you...crazy?"

Ning Baimei coughed up blood and asked: "If this continues, your soul..."

"I've been dead for a long time! I've been dead for thousands of years!"

Cang Yun laughed wildly, his soul began to flicker unsteadily: "But before I die, it would be nice to drag you down with me!"

He suddenly threw the halberd high into the air and formed a strange seal with his hands.

Suddenly, a cold wind howled between heaven and earth, and the cries of countless wronged souls and evil spirits came from all directions.

The halberd turned into a black dragon a hundred feet long in the air, roaring and swooping down! At the same time, Cang Yun's own soul body began to expand rapidly, emitting a suffocating breath of destruction.

Ning Baimei's face changed drastically. He ignored his injuries and tried his best to mobilize the little remaining true energy in his body.

He bit his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of blood onto the sword. The ordinary iron sword suddenly burst into dazzling golden light.

The sword light shot up into the sky and transformed into a giant golden sword that spanned the sky and the earth in the air. The two earth-shattering forces collided in mid-air, and the burst of light made the area within a hundred miles as bright as day!

"boom----!!!"

Amid the deafening explosion, the shock wave spread in a circular shape, causing mountains to collapse and rivers to flow backwards wherever it passed. When the dust settled, the original terrain had been completely changed, and a giant tiankeng with a diameter of more than two miles appeared.

At the bottom of the pit, Ning Baimei was lying in a pool of blood, his bones were shattered, and the iron sword had broken into several pieces.

He struggled to look up and saw that Cang Yun's soul was only a faint wisp of black smoke, barely maintaining its human form.

"Is it worth it?"

Ning Baimei asked with difficulty, blood gushing out of his mouth with every word he spoke: "For the word 'good man'..."

The remnant soul of Cang Yun shook and laughed hoarsely: "It's worth it... It's damn worth it..."

"It's really, surprising."

Ning Baimei coughed up blood and said, "My cultivation has almost reached a certain level. If the foundation of this world was not unstable, I would have already entered the state of no self. But even so, you were still able to injure me so badly with your remaining soul."

"You're not bad either."

Cang Yun shook his head, pointed the halberd at Ning Baimei, and used his last bit of strength to slowly push the halberd towards his chest: "But, you must die..."

"Ugh……"

Ning Baimei sighed, "If I could have such a battle in my life, I would die without regrets... It's a pity that the overall situation is ahead, and I have to do something despicable."

As he spoke, the tip of the halberd had already pierced through the clothes on his chest, cut open his skin, and began to pierce into him.

The skin between his eyebrows suddenly cracked, revealing his third eye.
