Perfect World: Start by traveling to the Wuwang Mansion

Chapter 306 Three Swords Slash Down the Netherworld!

With a series of earth-shattering thunderous roars, Shi Qingyun's body plunged directly into the battlefields where bloody battles were raging.

This was a great battle between the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and the alien realm, and it was imprinted into the tribulation of lightning. This was the tribulation of lightning that he had to overcome.

Seeing the blood splattering all around, Shi Qingyun was already feeling a fierce pressure coming down on him before he could even stand firm.

The flashes of blades and swords, mixed with Taoist magic and supernatural powers, and the sound of tearing through the void, bombarded him relentlessly.

Shi Qingyun's hair stood on end, and his divine power surged within him, yin and yang swirling and intertwining above his head, transforming into a Dao diagram that firmly blocked the attacks.

He swung the sword forward with a heavy blow, and wherever the sword light passed, figures pressing down on him were instantly cleaved in two.

Fortunately, the cultivator who attacked him the first time was only at the Void Realm, and he cleared out the bottom layer in just a few moves.

As the number of floors increases, their cultivation level also increases, and the difficulty also increases accordingly.

For Shi Qingyun to pass through the forty-ninth level was no less difficult than ascending to heaven, and the cultivators conjured by these lightning tribulations were far more powerful than those of the same realm.

Shi Qingyun looked at the bloodthirsty figures, his fingertips brushed over the blade, and he plunged it heavily into the ground. Instantly, the sword light that erupted from it swept across the first level.

The world, which had been filled with shouts of battle, suddenly fell silent. Countless bloody corpses lay at his feet, marked by lightning tribulation, yet still remarkably real.

Upon landing on the second level, Shi Qingyun's figure was still flashing when he unleashed the Star-Picking Hand.

Wherever the colossal hand passed, the earth cracked and shattered; the entire land was crushed.

His figure was rapidly ascending, and one after another, world-destroying divine powers were unleashed from his hands.

However, as the levels increase, the battles become increasingly difficult.

Several times, his Dao body was directly shattered under the repeated bombardment of Daoist magic and supernatural powers. If it weren't for his strong willpower and the Yin and Yang energies that reshaped his Dao body, he would have been able to survive.

He was about to perish.

It was healed by its own supernatural powers, repeatedly being destroyed and then quickly regenerating, making it no less difficult than fighting the Lord of the Underworld.

Shi Qingyun gradually descended into madness, his body radiating a terrifying aura of crimson light.

His body was soaked in the blood of his enemies, as well as his own blood and bones, and the spiritual energy within it grew stronger.

Fight to the point of madness, fight to the very end.

In the outside world, it was a moment, but in this special place of tribulation, it felt like a hundred years had passed, and his concept of time had become blurred.

All that could be seen was battle and slaughter.

The swords rang out, echoing the interplay of Yin and Yang.

With each killing, his mastery of his various supernatural powers and techniques increased, and his understanding of the One Path deepened.

"Of the fifty great principles, one has been discarded!"

"Those who seek the One do not descend to the mortal world, nor are they bound by the seasons; they roam freely between heaven and earth."

Shi Qingyun stepped out from between Yin and Yang, and the phantom of the river of time appeared beneath his feet.

Its form flickered between light and shadow, and its true form lingered between reality and illusion.

By using Yin and Yang to step on time in reverse, the ability to escape can be greatly enhanced.

Behind him, a powerful cultivator was using his escape technique to chase after Shi Qingyun, but his speed was too fast.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared from his sight. Just as he was roaring and venting his anger, the sound of flowing water tinkled behind him.

Shi Qingyun's figure slowly emerged, emanating a sword light that pierced through the limits of my power, and swept past the cultivator who had escaped to the bottom.

pat-

Boom——

The sky, which had been roaring and clamoring, fell silent, and the ever-fluctuating aura emanating from Shi Qingyun abruptly stopped.

This world, pieced together from layers of battlefields, suddenly began to collapse inch by inch, and corpses sank into the endless abyss.

Shi Qingyun slowly felt the dramatic changes happening within his body, with the Yin-Yang Dao flowing around him behind him.

His bones and meridians were changing, and his inner universe was rapidly expanding outward, with the Yin and Yang Dao quickly flowing into his inner world.

It transformed into a giant millstone, suspended high in the sky, constantly rotating, grinding out wisps of chaotic energy that were altering the universe within its body.

His strength surged instantly, and his eyes slowly opened, with Dao seals rotating within them, shattering the space in front of him inch by inch.

A passage leading to the outside world was opened up. As soon as one stepped into it, one's figure vanished from the spot.

The moment he appeared in the outside world, countless bolts of lightning struck him from the sky, but he simply waved his sleeve.

Within his body, strands of world power surged forth, like a gentle breeze smoothing the rippling surface of a lake, while the thunderbolts crashing down from the sky quickly dissipated.

In the distance, the Lord of the Underworld planted the Soul Banner heavily in the void, constantly resisting the thunder dragons that crashed down like a storm.

Upon raising his eyes, he saw Shi Qingyun standing amidst the thunder, his body shrouded in chaotic energy.

"When?"

Upon seeing Shi Qingyun, he was immediately startled, as he had not realized when Shi Qingyun had appeared there.

Especially when he felt the deadly sense of danger emanating from the other person, his heart suddenly started pounding.

"Escape One? How did you break through so quickly!"

Shi Qingyun looked at the Lord of the Underworld, whose eyes were filled with horror, raised his hand and pushed forward. Immediately, a blood-red giant sword shot out from behind him.

"Hurry up?"

"It's been hundreds of years!"

The blood-red longsword slashed through the void, turning everything in its path into nothingness, witnessing that fierce attack.

A hideous skull suddenly appeared before the Lord of the Underworld, with wisps of black mist entwined around it.

clang--

The two collided, instantly sparking bursts of sparks. However, after just one collision, cracks appeared on the skull.

The Lord of the Underworld also suddenly retreated backward, his feet treading between Yin and Yang, and the space-time around him was rapidly reversing backward.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of the Lord of the Underworld, wielding his sword with great force, the sword shadows flashing as it swiftly pierced through his body.

Feeling the intense pain emanating from his body, the Lord of the Underworld trembled involuntarily, and the Soul Banner pierced heavily into the void beneath his feet.

A dark, ghostly light flickered on it, and terrifying, ferocious black souls shot out from the soul banner.

They lunged at Shi Qingyun, each soul emanating the power to slay a peak-level being.

"The sword will conquer the world!"

Shi Qingyun looked at the hideous black souls behind him, which pierced the void with their powerful sword light, which instantly engulfed everything in front of him like a tidal wave.

Wherever the sword's light passed, the void was annihilated. The Soul Banner in the Underworld Lord's hand was struck, and fine cracks immediately appeared on its surface. "What a powerful attack!"

The Lord of the Underworld was startled. With a thought, streams of Yin energy shot out from his body, instantly repairing the Soul Banner.

Without waiting any longer, they took the initiative and launched an attack.

With a heavy stomp of his foot in the void, he then rapidly charged towards Shi Qingyun, and with a wave of his soul banner, countless stars in the sky instantly fell.

It transformed into streaks of fire and hurtled towards Shi Qingyun. Wherever the star passed, the void shattered, and a piece of the starry sky was smashed down.

Upon seeing this, Shi Qingyun remained expressionless, and his sword, wielding a blade, unleashed dazzling sword light that shot rapidly in all directions.

The sword's light glided smoothly across the massive, pitch-black boulders, a flash of crimson and white light, and the boulders instantly split in two.

A thick black mist swirled behind the Lord of the Underworld, within which flickering figures emanated an aura of extreme yin and evil.

His cultivation at the peak of the Escape One realm spread out, the Great Dao behind him swayed, and his realm fluctuated accordingly.

The black mist emanating from his body grew even denser, and he faintly exuded a supreme aura. Black clouds were also slowly gathering in the void.

His eyes were filled with murderous intent, and a crimson light filled his entire eye sockets.

"You've been jumping around for so long, do you really think you can kill me?"

The Lord of the Underworld was surrounded by wisps of dark energy, and with every move he made, a huge, pitch-black skeleton appeared behind him, hurtling towards Shi Qingyun.

As the enormous, pitch-black skeleton pressed down upon him, the void beneath Shi Qingyun's feet was instantly crushed.

The space shattered like a mirror, reflecting Shi Qingyun's figure as he shot out.

boom--

As he unleashed the Yin-Yang Step, a red light flashed across fragments of space, creating ripples that swept across the entire void.

Shi Qingyun moved like a ghost, slashing his sword across the dark skeleton, which instantly split in two, with extreme yin energy emanating from the blade.

Instantly, the land for millions of miles froze, the black mist in the sky was frozen in place, and Shi Qingyun's heroic figure was reflected on the crystal-clear ice.

The power of the escaped energy surged forth, shattering all the black mist.

With the momentum of the longsword in his hand undiminished, as the Lord of the Underworld's pupils suddenly contracted, illusory figures, each wielding a longsword, pierced through his body.

Chaotic energy surged on the blade, exuding a power that could erode all things, and the Escape Armor on the Lord of the Underworld shattered.

A white cloud drifted by, and a long sword in his hand rang out with a clanging sound. A drop of crimson blood at the tip of the sword emitted wisps of sinister intent.

The Lord of the Underworld stared at the enormous blood hole in front of him, his eyes filled with disbelief. A similar wound appeared on his primordial spirit.

The chaotic energy above it was rapidly spreading and eroding it.

"Sever my body, sever myself, sever all things."

"Yin and Yang move in reverse."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Lord of the Underworld's figure vanished like a bubble, leaving him with nowhere to vent his resentment.

Shi Qingyun did not turn around, but walked straight forward. With one step, space cracked open, and his figure immediately appeared outside.

As soon as he came out, he saw a series of wounded figures waiting for him.

Xuan Ying and the others looked at Shi Qingyun, whose aura became even more oppressive despite being covered in blood.

Their hearts, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down, and their tense faces relaxed.

If the Lord of the Underworld ultimately triumphs, then all their efforts to break the iron pillar will have been in vain.

Shi Qingyun nodded to everyone, waved his hand, and Lao Tao's figure slowly floated out from behind him.

At this moment, Lao Tao fell into a deep sleep, having broken the blood curse on his forehead before it appeared.

After handing Lao Tao over to Chen Xuan and the others for care, he turned his gaze to the vast emptiness.

When I was killed before, I didn't notice, but now I can keenly sense that strands of escape intent and even supreme divine thoughts have landed here.

Shi Qingyun remained calm and composed, paying little attention to those divine thoughts, though he felt he should give them a warning.

"Stars, come out."

He communicated with the stars within his body through his divine sense, and a flash of light appeared in his hand, revealing the stars themselves.

Everyone stared at Shi Qingyun, who was suspended in mid-air, and was completely baffled as to what he was going to do.

As his fingertips traced the blade, only now, with his cultivation at the Escape Realm, did he truly feel the immense power of the Starry Sky.

Divine power poured into it continuously, and immediately, dazzling starlight flashed on the blade.

Within the body, the universe was in constant flux, the Yin-Yang Dao roamed the heavens, and streams of world power flowed throughout the body.

Amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Shi Qingyun raised the Starry Sky sword in his hand and slashed forward twice. The terrifying sword intent instantly tore apart strands of divine thoughts.

puff-

As two sounds of falling into the deep pool rang out, the sword intent instantly vanished into the void, and Xuan Ying and the others behind them could not see where the sword light went.

However, the leaders of the various Daoist sects who were constantly watching this place saw where this amazing sword strike was heading, and because of where it was heading, they immediately withdrew their divine senses.

In a sinister world filled with an eerie atmosphere, where a dark red sun hangs in the sky.

Unlike usual, the pitch-black world was suddenly illuminated by a blinding light.

Two sword beams, capable of shattering everything, shot straight into this world.

"How dare you, Shuzi!"

From beneath the earth, a skeletal hand emerged, emanating supreme power that caused the entire world to tremble.

The bone hand swept across the sky, shifting the universe, with countless worlds existing and disappearing within it.

The first sword beam fell, but was blocked by the bone hand. The resulting shockwave instantly destroyed half the sky, and countless dark creatures perished in the aftershocks.

The second sword beam struck, shattering the bone hand. A streak of light shot out from the ground and quickly disappeared into the void.

The sword light struck firmly, severing this world in two, leaving a massive chasm.

The sword intent emanating from it was constantly annihilating any life that came near it.

The chaotic light in Shi Qingyun's eyes slowly receded, and the stars in his hand disappeared in an instant.

Standing between heaven and earth, although Xuan Ying and the others behind him did not know what had happened, they only felt that Shi Qingyun had become incomparably majestic at this moment.

His aura of power surged forth as he spoke loudly into the void:

"From this day forward, Shidu Prefecture is mine!"

"It belongs to the Cloud Palace, and all the Daoist lineages know this."
