Embers of Sword

Chapter 628 Erasure
The souls of the dead were scattered everywhere.

The Sword Source River froze for a brief moment.

Zhao Chunyang stopped throwing punches and instead stretched out his palm toward the brightest ball of light.

That was Xie Xuanyi's "pregnancy light".

What Lu Yuzhen did was not just throwing out life souls... These scattered souls were being "burned," and Zhao Chunyang could choose to ignore them, as these life souls would burn out completely within an instant.

"Buzz!"

Under the suppression of the Sword Source River.

Zhao Chunyang directly grabbed the "Fetal Light" and swept it with the power of the Dao Source, completely erasing the killing intent that enveloped Xie Xuanyi's Fetal Light!
next moment.

He looked toward where the Empress was.

Lu Yuzhen has disappeared.

The paper doll's desperate gamble brought about the final turning point in this great battle.

Rumble!
Countless sheets of white paper turned into snowflakes, sweeping majestically towards the end of the Great Phoenix Cave!

Zhao Chunyang, standing on a lotus flower, once again rampaged across the land.

The void shattered.

In just one step, he caught up with Lu Yuzhen!
The two were less than ten feet apart, yet they could already hear the mournful and plaintive roar of the dragon.

Lu Yuzhen held the sword energy dragon, which had been imprisoned and compressed to the size of a small snake, in both hands. It was obvious that the paper dummy was desperately trying to deliver it to the Holy Empress!

A whooshing sound came from behind.

Lu Yuzhen glanced back, her expression incredibly complex...

Unexpectedly, it makes sense.

The "fetal light" he had prepared only managed to hinder Zhao Chunyang for a moment.

He took a deep breath and made his final decision.

Lu Yuzhen summoned the pure white saintly dharma image, which lay across the end of the Sword Source River. After receiving all the Yuan power from the paper daoist, this majestic dharma image was nearly a thousand feet tall, displaying three heads and six arms, as if a true Buddha had descended to earth. The dharma image reached the heavens and the earth, as if it were about to cut off the Sword Source River.

compare to.

The Sword Palace Master, standing on a lotus flower, was like an ant.

Zhao Chunyang frowned. Facing the pure white Buddha statue that had appeared out of nowhere, he did not hesitate and threw a punch!
The pure white saint placed his six hands together and pressed them down on the "ants" beneath him.

This scene is visually striking, like an ant trying to shake a tree.

However... the "ant" and the "tree" were completely switched after the collision!
With a loud bang!
Before the six hands of the Pure White Saint could even touch Zhao Chunyang's body—or more accurately, before this Yang God Realm Dharma Image was even qualified to touch Zhao Chunyang's physical body—it was disintegrated by the sword source while falling into the air, shattering into pieces at an extremely fast speed!

Zhao Chunyang threw a punch!
The thousand-foot-tall Dharma image sitting above the Sword Source River was directly shattered by this punch—without blood, after the chest cavity shattered, the pure white saint fell backward, and countless white papers were scattered out.

These blank sheets of paper were ignited by the Sword Source River, burning and turning to ashes in the void!
The sacrifice of this pure white saintly image barely managed to hinder Zhao Chunyang for a moment.

A moment later.

The old man in the lotus robe continued to traverse the void, delivering his final punch to Lu Yuzhen.

The paper doll had already sensed the impending killing intent.

He closed his eyes resignedly and threw the sword-qi dragon with all his might.

……

……

The long river surged, the fist wind roared, and the void shattered!

In the long river of sword source, everything will return to nothingness.

With that punch, the outcome was already decided.

No matter what Dharma form Lu Yuzhen summons or what treasure weapon he throws out, it will be smashed to pieces!
But the punch missed its mark.

"..."

Zhao Chunyang frowned slightly, staring at the scene in front of him with a strange expression.

Wherever the fist's wind passed, the sword's power shredded the void.

Lu Yuzhen, who had already closed her eyes and resigned herself to her fate, suddenly disappeared into the long river!

It was not a rapid movement initiated by the Dao Domain, nor was it a concealment achieved with the help of a grotto-heaven artifact.

But...

A complete and utter "disappearance"! It's more like an erasure!
Lu Yu's "disappearance" was just as unexpected as his "appearance."

He disappeared into the River of Sword Source and into the Great Phoenix Cave. If the area sensed by divine sense were expanded, it would be found that the Lotus Forbidden Land, the Great Spike Sword Palace, and even the entire Great Chu Dynasty... had no trace of him.

It's as if he's been erased from the world's memory.

The collapsed and shattered pure white statue of the saint was tilting backward one moment and vanished the next.

Tens of millions of scraps of paper were wiped away at that moment.

Swish.

This extremely bizarre scene plunged the entire Great Phoenix Cave Heaven into a deathly silence.

There were no fluttering paper snowflakes, only scorching fire rain.

Even Zhao Chunyang couldn't understand why this scene had occurred... He fell into a brief moment of contemplation until the distant dragon's roar pulled him back to reality.

Lu Yuzhen succeeded.

Regardless of how this "self-erasure" is achieved.

He escaped with his life from Zhao Chunyang.

And... he successfully delivered the sword energy dragon vein to the Holy Empress. The already defeated Yuan Huang sat under the Immortal Tree, quietly clutching the fourth dragon vein that symbolized "perfection".

"Finally... I've collected them all..."

Yuan Huang looked at the struggling sword energy dragon in her palm, her face pale, and murmured with difficulty.

Collect the four dragon veins.

It was a hundred times more difficult than she had imagined.

Especially this fourth sword energy dragon vein... If it weren't for Lu Yuzhen's help, she would most likely have died in the Lotus Forbidden Land.

Although it was ultimately successful.

But Yuan Huang's fighting spirit remained low; the gap between her and Zhao Chunyang was too great... she really had no confidence.

After collecting all four dragon veins, will he truly be able to fight against Zhao Chunyang, who is at the half-step Celestial Realm?

The Holy Queen leaned against the Immortal Tree and slowly raised her head.

"Swish."

A breeze blows, the leaves rustle, and shadows sway.

The divine tree, which should have withered and died, has been revived after being nourished by three dragon veins. At this moment, it seems to have life and spirit, stretching out countless branches and leaves, gently stroking Yuanhuang. The meaning of this action is all too clear... it has sensed the last dragon vein.

It is begging for something.

"call……"

At the end of the Sword Source River, Zhao Chunyang recovered from the strange incident of Lu Yuzhen's "disappearance" and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

He stood on lotus flowers, shattered the void, and charged towards the immortal tree.

At this point, Yuan Huang no longer hesitated.

In response to the Immortal Tree's prayers... the Holy Empress resolutely pressed the sword energy dragon vein into the divine tree's massive trunk.

"boom!"

An extremely surging and vast power burst forth.

Yuan Huang, who placed her palm on the trunk of the Immortal Tree, had her pale face instantly enveloped in blazing light. Her pupils contracted, unable to believe the power she was sensing... When the fourth dragon vein was injected, the Immortal Tree ushered in a true revival, and its power also underwent a "qualitative change".

The Empress's injuries were healed in an instant.

Her eyes brightened.

The four dragon veins intertwined and climbed upwards, and the trunk of the immortal tree continuously ignited with boiling radiance!
The entire Great Phoenix Cave Heaven was enveloped in blazing light!
