Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 451 Stop!

Section 459, Senior Brother Xu Ran! Stop!

He felt his cultivation barrier being broken through in an instant, as if it were made of paper!
With the blessing of the primordial power of the universe, the power of Yu Kong and Xu Qinghan was instantly sublimated!
They officially obtained a portion of the original inheritance left behind by the ancient forbidden zone!
The "container" seemed to sense this sudden change, and for the first time, a slight "ripple" appeared on its abstract "face".

His calculations appear to have gone wrong.

He raised his head and looked at the altar that was bursting with light, a dangerous glint flashing in his empty eye sockets.

That altar is the source of the guardian's flame!

This is the key issue that must be smoothed out!
He abandoned his attack on Xu Qinghan and instead turned his attention to the ancient altar!

He stretched out abstract limbs, and the power of law distortion spread out instantly, attempting to obliterate the altar along with the surrounding space!

However, just as his power was about to touch the altar, the two figures moved at the same time!
After receiving the power of origin, Yu Kong and Xu Qinghan had completely different auras!

Yu Kong was surrounded by golden light, like a war god descending!
The longsword in his hand hummed, and ancient runes flowed on its blade—a new manifestation of the protective power that had merged with the origin of the universe!
Xu Qinghan was draped in a dark golden phantom, and her jade sword emitted a star-like glow!

Although her aura was not as domineering as Yu Kong's, it possessed a purer, more resilient quality, and a greater capacity to purify and sustain all things!
Without the slightest hesitation, they rushed toward the "container" at the same time!
"Senior Brother Xu Ran! Stop!" Xu Qinghan cried out in anguish, but her voice carried a firm strength.

The "container" did not respond; only the cold command remained in its eyes—annihilate the altar!

He swung his sword through the air and slashed at the "container"!
This sword strike, imbued with the power of the universe's origin and the will of the guardian, shattered the distortion of the laws and struck directly at the core of the "container"!

Xu Qinghan then activated the jade sword, its tip pointing towards the gray pillar of light that connected to the depths of the universe!

She wants to sever the connection between the "container" and the power of the Lord of Nothingness!
Three people, once fellow disciples, are now engaged in the most brutal civil war deep within this ancient forbidden zone!
The power of the "container" was terrifying. It easily distorted space, dodged the sword light that flew through the air, and at the same time stretched out its other hand to grab Xu Qinghan!

His movements were swift and unpredictable, completely defying the laws of physics!

Xu Qinghan was prepared. She activated the power of her own origin, causing the flow of time around her body to become chaotic in an instant!
This is a high-level guardian technique recorded in the "Eternal Legacy Record"!
The disordered flow of time caused the "container's" movements to pause slightly!
Seizing the opportunity, Xu Qinghan slashed fiercely at the gray beam of light with her jade sword!
"Crack——!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out! The seemingly indestructible gray beam of light was actually cleaved in two by Xu Qinghan's jade sword!

The gray beam of light trembled violently, and the terrifying pressure it emitted instantly weakened considerably!

The "container" let out a silent roar! It abandoned its attempt to grab Xu Qinghan, and instead turned around abruptly, concentrating all its power on the shattered pillar of light, trying to stabilize it!
But Yu Kong won't give him that chance!
Yu Kong's figure appeared behind the "container" in an instant, like a persistent infection!
He held his longsword high, its tip gleaming with dazzling golden light, like a falling star!
"The Guardian's Wrath!"

He poured all the primal power he had gained into this strike!

The sword light, like lightning tearing through chaos, carried unparalleled power and stabbed fiercely towards the back of the "container"!

The container seems to have sensed a deadly threat!

For the first time, he abandoned the order and instead concentrated all his power behind him, forming a thicker and more distorted barrier of laws!

"boom--!"

The most intense collision ever occurred!
Golden sword light and a gray barrier exploded behind the "container"!

A terrifying energy shockwave swept across the entire ancient forbidden zone like a tsunami! The earth cracked, space shattered, and the ancient restrictions burst like soap bubbles!

The longsword that soared through the air pierced deeply into the barrier of laws, but failed to penetrate it completely!
He felt a cold, viscous force tightly binding his sword, trying to devour his power!

The "container's" body trembled violently, and countless twisted runes appeared on its abstract "face," as if it were enduring immense pain!
But his power was still so great that it inspired despair!
He suddenly swung his body, sending Yu Kong and his longsword flying!
Yu Kong coughed up blood again, his body crashing to the ground like a tattered sack!
Xu Qinghan also suffered a terrible backlash after severing the pillar of light!

The jade sword's light dimmed, and the dark golden phantom around her body dissipated. She knelt on one knee, her aura weakened!
The "container" stabilized itself, and its abstract "face" twisted even more violently, seemingly suppressing the backlash within its body.

He glanced at the injured Yu Kong and Xu Qinghan, then at the violently trembling gray pillar of light, his empty eye sockets flashing with a cold, calculating light.

Commands take precedence!

Secure anchor points!

Clear the obstacles!

Instead of continuing to attack the two, he focused all his power on the gray pillar of light, trying to repair it!

That pillar of light is the channel through which the power of the Lord of Nothingness descends, and it is the key to the stability of the anchor point!
It must not be destroyed!
Yu Kong and Xu Qinghan struggled to their feet.

They knew that although the attack had severely damaged the "container," it had not completely solved the problem!

The beam of light remains, and the anchor point remains secure!
Moreover, the power of the "container" seems to be rapidly restoring the pillar of light while simultaneously repairing it!
They must stop him!
However, just as they were about to charge forward again, a violent fluctuation suddenly came from the space around the Eternal Forbidden Zone!

Immediately afterwards, powerful auras surged into the restricted area from all directions!
Some of these auras are cold, chaotic, and have a rotten, dark feel!
Some of them exude the aura of powerful, ancient, wary, and hostile forces!

"The Awakened!"

"Other cosmic forces!"

The same thought flashed through the minds of Yu Kong and Xu Qinghan at the same time!

The actions of the Lord of Nothingness, and the massive energy fluctuations erupting from the Forbidden Zone of Eternity, have attracted the attention of other forces in the universe!
The signs of darkness are no longer hidden!

Those "awakened" beings, awakened by the Lord of Nothingness, also sensed the existence of the "container" and were converging here! The Eternal Forbidden Zone instantly became the focus of attention for the entire universe!
It became the intersection of darkness and various forces!

The situation has become more complex and dangerous than ever before!

The "container" seemed to sense the arrival of these auras as well.

He glanced at the pillar of light that was being repaired, then at Yu Kong and Xu Qinghan, his empty eye sockets flashing with a cold, calculating light.

He has no emotions, but he has priorities.

The primary goal is to secure the anchor point!
Clearing obstacles can wait!

He sped up the repair of the light pillar!

Yu Kong and Xu Qinghan are now facing a dilemma!
They were trying to stop the "container," but a large number of enemies had suddenly appeared around them!

Moreover, they sensed several exceptionally powerful entities within those dark auras!
That was no ordinary "awakened one," but was likely a more powerful servant of the Lord of Nothingness, or even... other beings corrupted by Nothingness!
A sudden and chaotic battle is about to erupt in the Forbidden Zone!

Yu Kong and Xu Qinghan exchanged a glance, both seeing the same determination in each other's eyes!

No matter what enemy they face, they have only one goal—to stop the Lord of Nothingness!
Protect this universe!

Without further hesitation, they turned around and headed towards the powerful auras surging into the restricted area!
They must establish a defensive line on the outside to buy time for Xu Qinghan to try to completely sever that gray pillar of light!
"Qinghan! The pillar of light is yours! The enemies outside are mine!" Yu Kong roared, his figure like golden lightning, rushing towards the outer edge of the restricted area!
"Soar through the air! Be careful!" Xu Qinghan shouted as well, then, enduring her injuries, she turned her gaze back to the gray pillar of light!
She knew this was their only chance!
She must succeed!
Soaring out of the depths of the restricted area, he was immediately confronted by the first wave of enemies rushing in!

Those were several enormous monsters composed of twisted flesh and black crystals, exuding a dense aura of darkness!
Their empty eye sockets gleamed with a bloodthirsty light. Upon seeing Yu Kong, a being radiating pure protective power, they immediately let out an angry roar and pounced!
Undeterred, Yu Kong brandished his longsword, the golden sword light striking the monster horde like a meat grinder!
A fierce battle erupted instantly at the entrance to the Eternal Forbidden Zone!

Meanwhile, deep within the forbidden zone, Xu Qinghan gritted her teeth and once again mobilized all the power within her body, aiming the jade sword at the gray pillar of light that was being repaired by the "container"!

"The flame is ignited!"

The incantation of the secret technique echoed in her mind, and the power of the protective source within her body and the power of the cosmic source she had obtained perfectly merged, transforming into a golden flame with the faint light of stars!
She infused this "fire" into the jade sword!
The jade sword instantly burst forth with unprecedented light, as if it carried the hope of the entire universe!

She raised her jade sword and, with all her might, unleashed her strongest attack at the gray pillar of light!
"To protect!"

The sword light, like a shooting star, pierced the darkness and struck the gray pillar of light fiercely!
That pillar of light is the passage through which the Lord of Nothingness descends! It is a symbol of darkness's encroachment!
This is proof that Senior Brother Xu Ran has been completely assimilated!
She will sever it! Even if it means being shattered to pieces, she will sever it!

The sword light collided with the beam of light! There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a teeth-grinding friction sound, as if two completely different "concepts" were annihilating each other!

The gray beam of light trembled violently, and the cracks rapidly widened!
The "container" let out an even more piercing, silent roar! It sensed a deadly threat!
He gave up on repairing it and instead stretched out abstract limbs, trying to grab the jade sword in Xu Qinghan's hand!

He cannot let this flame sever the path!

But Xu Qinghan had given it her all! Her strength burned to its limit at this moment!
The light from the jade sword suppressed the light from the gray pillar of light!

"Crack——!"

An even louder cracking sound rang out!
The gray beam of light broke in two under the strike of the jade sword!
The broken pillar of light did not immediately dissipate, but instead twisted and struggled wildly, seemingly unwilling to be severed!
The "container's" body shuddered violently! The connection between him and the pillar of light was forcibly severed, and a terrifying backlash instantly surged into his body!

His body, formed from the aggregation of laws, began to flicker erratically, and countless collapsing runes appeared on its surface!
“No…incomplete…” A cold voice rang out in his “consciousness,” carrying a hint of…anger? Or perhaps, a calculation error?
The anchor point channel was forcibly severed and is now incomplete!
This means that the Lord of Nothingness cannot fully descend through this passage!

The "container" raised its head, its empty eye sockets fixed on Xu Qinghan!

is her!

It was this tiny creature that severed the great passage!

Ignoring the backlash and the need to repair himself, he unleashed an even more terrifying power, distorting the surrounding space and rushing towards Xu Qinghan at a teleportation speed!
He wants to kill her!
Eliminate her completely!
After Xu Qinghan severed the pillar of light, the power within her body was completely exhausted, and she collapsed limply as if her body had been drained.

She barely managed to lift her head and saw the "container" rushing towards her with overwhelming killing intent, a sense of despair welling up in her heart.

She did it! She severed the pillar of light! But she no longer had the strength to withstand the "container's" attack!
Just as the "container" was about to touch Xu Qinghan, a golden figure appeared in front of her like lightning!
It's flying!
I don't know when he rushed back!
He was covered in wounds and his breathing was erratic, clearly having been through a fierce battle!
But he stood in front of Xu Qinghan, and the long sword in his hand once again burst forth with dazzling golden light!

"Soaring through the air!" Xu Qinghan exclaimed in surprise.

"Qinghan! I will protect you!" Yu Kong's voice was a little hoarse, but extremely firm.

He faced the "container" that was affected by the backlash but was still terrifyingly powerful, and he did not flinch in the slightest!
He knew he was no match for the "container"! But he had to stop it! To buy Xu Qinghan even a moment's time!

The "container's" attack did not stop. With "anger" towards Xu Qinghan and the "obstacle clearing" command to Yu Kong, he punched Yu Kong!
This punch, carrying the distortion of laws and the decay of nothingness, seemed to be about to turn Yu Kong and the space around him into nothingness!
Yu Kong gritted his teeth and concentrated the last bit of protective power in his body onto the longsword!
"The sword of protection will never yield!"

He swung his sword to meet the "container's" fist!

No frills, no retreat! This is the purest will of the guardians—even if the power is vastly different, even if they face death, they will fight to the death to protect!
The golden sword light collided with the gray fist!
"boom--!"

An explosion that shook the universe resounded deep within the ancient forbidden zone!
The terrifying energy storm leveled everything around it, shattering space and creating a vast void!

Yu Kong's figure was instantly engulfed in the explosion!
Xu Qinghan let out a piercing scream!

"Royal in the sky!"
