Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 426 Heaven and Earth Grow Old Together
The situation of the war is changing rapidly.

Despite all their meticulous planning, Futian Pavilion never expected that Lan Zhenxin would actually be a "traitor."

That might not be the right way to put it, since she never actually joined the Overturning Heaven Pavilion, so how could she be accused of betrayal?

The Crane Taoist's robe was tattered, barely concealing his emaciated body; he was the most frustrated person there.

Even though he kept a close eye on Lan Zhenxin day and night, he was still tricked by her.

Yun Yi was clearly poisoned by the Six Harmonies Poison, but he only feigned death. This made the Immortal Crane Daoist quickly realize that there was a hidden secret in the Six Harmonies Poison, which allowed Yun Yi to deceive everyone present.

The "Poison of Immortality" that Lan Zhenxin used during his sneak attack was also extremely strange and impossible to defend against. He had clearly prepared many anti-poison magic treasures, but none of them were of any use.

Little did they know that the "Poison of Immortality" was actually created by Xu Junfang, and it was a true poison for those who had ascended to the Ascension Realm.

Lan Zhenxin originally planned to try this trick on Po Jun, but unfortunately she couldn't find an opportunity.

As a result, the rabble of the Futian Pavilion benefited.

As the Heavenly Dao descended, intending to kill Po Jun on the spot, Yun Yi then severed the hidden passage in the void.

On this side, Feng Mo unleashed the Sword Ancestor, commanding ten thousand swords to rain down, while Lan Zhenxin suddenly launched a cold arrow, weakening the cultivation of the Futian Pavilion members with an unnamed poison.

Just moments ago they were full of pride and smugness, but now they all look ashen-faced.

The Crane Taoist said, "The Heavenly Pillar has been broken. We cannot let our lives be lost here in vain. Let us all use our abilities to escape as quickly as possible."

Although his words were disloyal, they swayed the others who heard them.

Lord Po Jun has been targeted by the Heavenly Dao, and his only way to escape this place has been blocked. It seems that the situation is not good.

There's probably no point in staying here and fighting to the death.

Murong Xuan was the first to understand this matter. He immediately summoned a small bell, hid inside it, and transformed into a streak of light to escape outside.

Perhaps because he was the one who stood out, or perhaps because Feng Mo had been keeping a close eye on him, Jian Yu suddenly changed direction, dragging Murong Xuan into it.

The protective bell could not withstand such torment and shattered in the blink of an eye. Murong Xuan was also powerless to resist and was riddled with holes.

Feng Mo finally got his revenge. This person had used some method to cause him and his Uncle Hongye to kill each other. He really couldn't be allowed to live.

The remaining people were all experts at the Dao Integration Realm, each possessing extraordinary abilities. If they hadn't been suppressed by Lan Zhenxin's potent poison, even Feng Mo would have struggled to break through their combined resistance against the sword formation.

Unfortunately, now that the first person had escaped, the others all had their own ideas and used their own methods to escape in different directions.

Although Feng Mo's sword formation was powerful, he was unable to be in two places at once.

The members of Futian Pavilion were determined to sacrifice their own lives rather than let others die. Anyone who was slow to escape or was unlucky enough to be targeted would have to accept their fate.

Zhao Wuxiang also intended to leave and escape, unable to understand how things had suddenly turned out this way.

His mind was in turmoil when Lan Zhenxin suddenly called out to him, "Be careful."

As luck would have it, while everyone was busy trying to escape, the Crane Taoist happened to be closer to Zhao Wuxiang and happened to hear those words.

Zhao Wuxiang was completely bewildered. His mind was in turmoil, and he couldn't figure out what the relationship between Lan Zhenxin and Yun Yi was at all.

Therefore, he did not respond and fled directly, followed by a white crane that moved extremely fast.

Lan Zhenxin witnessed this scene and revealed a smug smile.

"The Poison of Immortality" is a technique that can only be fully used by those who have ascended to the Ascension Realm. Lan Zhenxin knows this better than anyone. Given enough time, those people will definitely realize it.

Meanwhile, Feng Mo had no intention of causing trouble for those Dao Integration Realm cultivators. From the beginning, his target was Lord Po Jun in the sky.

The thought of slaying immortals with a sword was enough to make his blood boil.

He flew to the battlefield where the Heavenly Pillar had shattered, and quickly commanded the swords to reassemble into a sword formation, trapping them from all directions, with their blades pointing towards Po Jun.

Yun Yi, however, was distracted by the Eye of Heaven and couldn't help but call out, "Wife, is that you?"

Everyone present was taken aback.

The Eye of Heaven slowly turned towards Yun Yi. Anyone else looking at it would feel their blood and qi stagnate, wishing they could die on the spot.

Yun Yi felt a sense of warmth, for since it had responded, it meant that his wife had heard him.

With this, killing Po Jun today is even more certain.

In fact, the Heavenly Dao has always been a key element in Yun Yi's plan.

As long as Po Jun attacks Tian Zhu, it will inevitably attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, Yun Yi's initial plan was to use the sword formation and the rules of the Dao to block Po Jun's path, forcing him to confront the might of the Heavenly Dao.

Who said he was going to go head-to-head with someone in the Ascension Realm? Yun Yi never does things that are thankless and exhausting.

Now, with the unexpected joy of Lan Zhenxin, he easily dealt with those Dao Integration Realm cultivators, and Yun Yi was even more confident, thinking that the one who was truly beyond saving by even immortals was clearly Po Jun.

Meanwhile, Po Jun released a large number of celestial puppets to obstruct the Heavenly Dao, but they were all smashed to pieces by the red beans one after another.

Those puppets all possessed the strength of the Dao Integration Realm, yet they were utterly powerless against the seemingly fragile and insignificant Red Bean.

Meanwhile, in the celestial realm, Song Xinci stood under a red bean tree, picking up red beans one by one with her fingertips and flicking them into the mortal world.

Her movements were light, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she had something on her mind and was not very happy.

The golden phantom had dimmed a bit more than before. He said, "This Po Jun's Heavenly Puppet Path is intolerable to the world. This time, we must kill him."

Song Xinci, however, seemed preoccupied and absent-minded.

"Are you thinking about Yun Yi?"

"Ah."

"But you don't seem very happy?" This is an extremely common question in the mortal realm, but it sounds quite unusual in the celestial realm. Because Song Xinci shouldn't have many emotions, but Yun Yi always manages to easily sway her mood.

"Hmm." Song Xinci threw a few more red beans, seemingly to vent her emotions.

The golden phantom inquired, "Why is that?"

Song Xinci: "I can't explain it clearly, but besides Yun Yi, I also saw a woman named Lan Zhenxin."

The golden phantom immediately realized that it was jealous.

Song Xinci: "He has never lacked female confidantes. Even when facing a powerful enemy like the Futian Pavilion, there are women who are willing to risk their lives for him."

"What can I say to a woman like this?"

The golden phantom, unable to comprehend a woman's thoughts, could only remain silent.

Song Xinci muttered to herself, "But he can't sense my feelings at all. Right now, he's still hoping that I'll kill Po Jun and help him complete his plan."

"Song Xinci, you wouldn't..."

“He wants me to take action, but this time I’m not going to help him. I’ll leave the problem to him and let him solve it.”

Knowing he couldn't persuade Song Xinci, the golden phantom stopped wasting his breath.

It was originally thought that when Song Xinci arrived in the Heavenly Realm, only a trace of humanity remained in her body, which would be completely eradicated before long.

However, she has recently been experiencing frequent mood swings and even did something absurd like meeting Yunyi in her dream.

Unbeknownst to her, her divinity and humanity had become evenly matched, a far cry from the one-sided situation she had anticipated. While the golden phantom could previously "urge" Song Xinci on, it was now completely powerless.

He could only helplessly watch as Song Xinci acted recklessly.

From the outside, the Heavenly Dao was strange in every way. After destroying all the Heavenly Puppets, it did not take the opportunity to attack Po Jun, but instead enveloped the entire Jue Tian Cliff with a mysterious aura.

The problem is that, in addition to Po Jun being trapped inside, Yun Yi and Feng Mo are also trapped inside.

It seemed that Heaven itself had turned this place into a prison, yet it did not intervene to help either side, determined to remain a bystander.

Although Yun Yi and Song Xinci were far apart, he seemed to be able to sense her feelings.

My wife seems to be angry.

He glanced at Lan Zhenxin on the top of the precipice and immediately figured out the reason.

That said, although both the Burial Sword Valley and the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect are demonic sects, their relationship has never been harmonious.

After Song Xinci ascended to immortality, Lan Zhenxin actually dared to take advantage of the situation, which explains why his wife was not happy.

Yun Yi smiled helplessly, feeling a bit of trouble, but mostly delighted.

Since the wife can get jealous, it means she still remembers that she has a husband in the mortal world.

He then brandished his round sword, pointed it at Po Jun not far away, and his fighting spirit was palpable.

……

Po Jun also realized the Heavenly Dao's intentions and cursed inwardly.

This damned Heavenly Dao is not only becoming increasingly strange, but now it even has the intention to mock and humiliate others, which is truly hateful!
In his view, the Heavenly Dao was clearly related to Yun Yi, and perhaps she really was the "wife" he was talking about.

The reason why Heaven did not intervene was to leave itself to Yun Yi, to serve as his "sharpening stone"!
Po Jun was acutely aware of his current situation. He had very little spiritual power left, and the Heavenly Puppet he had accumulated over the years had been completely destroyed by those red beans. He had used every means at his disposal.

Although he still has the foundation to reach the Ascension Realm, he is merely at the end of his rope.

On the other hand, Yun Yi's ability to sever the void with the Great Dao is itself an incredible feat.

And then there's Feng Mo, who's watching us like a hawk. That righteous disciple has an extraordinary aura, and with the support of ten thousand swords, his destructive power is probably not much different from that of someone in the Ascension Realm.

Po Jun felt increasingly distressed the more he thought about it.

He was not incapable of accepting failure, but whether he died at the hands of Heaven or was killed by some immortal, he could accept it calmly.

But the one thing I can't accept is being used as a stepping stone!
Thinking of this, an ominous aura mixed with black and red emanated from Po Jun's body. His blood-red clothes fluttered without wind, revealing his Ascension Realm cultivation. For a moment, the space around him trembled.

Looking at his appearance at this moment, Yun Yi couldn't help but think of Xiao Buyi.

The saying "Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse" is very suitable to describe the Ascension Realm.

No matter how weak Po Jun is, as long as he is alive, he will still be one of the strongest people in the world.

However, Yun Yi of today is not the same person he was back then!

The Fangyuan Sword, combined with the principles of Dao, takes on a new form; in the Longevity Realm, Su Qing bestows upon it the "Mysterious Female Pill"; and within the Four Symbols Sword Formation, the Golden Body of Dharma Form is tempered and further refined...

Most importantly, Yun Yi once personally killed someone who had reached the Ascension Realm.

That day, he personally severed Xu Junfang's life force and realized that although the Ascension Realm seemed immortal, to kill him, one must first sever one's own lifespan.

Unbeknownst to him, he had broken away from Nangong Feitian's old path and forged his own unique path to success!

"I trouble Brother Feng to protect me."

Suddenly, a towering Dharma image appeared behind him, holding a huge, bladeless sword. Its majestic divine power was on par with Po Jun's fierce aura.

Yun Yi stood between Fa Xiang's eyebrows, holding his sword upright in front of his chest, and Fa Xiang did the same.

Then spiritual energy began to gather continuously, clearly indicating that he was constantly accumulating power in preparation for the sword technique that was about to be revealed.

His move was neither the Heaven and Earth See the Square and Circle, nor the Ink Moon Returns to Heaven... but rather something he comprehended when he sent his wife to the Heavenly Gate that day.

Although the technique is powerful, it is somewhat troublesome to execute, requiring a period of time to accumulate spiritual energy, during which the user is extremely vulnerable.

That's why he needed to ask Feng Mo to buy himself this extremely precious moment.

Po Jun's eyesight was incredibly sharp; he immediately realized that Yun Yi's sword strike would be earth-shattering, and it wouldn't be impossible for him to kill someone in the Ascension Realm.

His mind raced, and he realized that he might still have a chance. Since Yun Yi had some connection to the Heavenly Dao, he might as well capture him now and use the Heavenly Puppet Dao to control his life and mind.

Used to make a deal with the Heavenly Dao!
Suddenly, Po Jun let out a wild roar, and his figure transformed into black and red murderous energy as he crashed into Yun Yi.

However, thousands upon thousands of swords formed a barrier, blocking Po Jun's path.

Feng Mo stood before the square Dharma image, his figure appearing small, yet not to be underestimated. With the Sword Ancestor's enhancement, he unleashed his full cultivation and barely managed to withstand the attack from the Ascension Realm expert.

The black Heavenly Puppet Silk Threads shot out continuously, but Feng Mo used his sword energy to cut and neutralize them layer by layer, ultimately proving futile.

Feng Mo's face was slightly pale, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth. He did not retreat even half a step.

He had made up his mind that even if it cost him his life, he would buy enough time for Yun Yi.

Lan Zhenxin was outside the battle, her eyes filled with worry as she looked at Yun Yi, thinking, "You absolutely cannot die here."

After a few breaths, the sword formation was completely exhausted by the Heavenly Puppet Path and gradually showed signs of decline.

Po Jun pressed forward, while Feng Mo struggled to defend himself with his Gentleman's Sword. His righteous spirit was the nemesis of all evil in the world, and he grew stronger with each battle.

It has the implication that the devil is one foot taller than the righteous one foot taller.

Suddenly, the light emanating from the Dharma image behind Yun Yi began to surge violently!
Having absorbed the weight of the Black Tortoise, the sharpness of the White Tiger, and the agility of the Vermilion Bird, the Fangyuan Dharma Image has undergone a complete transformation, displaying an aura no less imposing than Xiao Buyi's "Vajra Dharma Image."

"What terrifying power." Lan Zhenxin held her breath. She could feel an unprecedented sword intent quietly sweeping across the entire Jue Tian Cliff.

The coldness of the sword intent seemed to freeze even the soul, and it was constantly spreading from the square sword in Yun Yi's hand, even slowing down the restless spiritual energy in the air.

Yun Yi exhaled a breath of cold air.

A heavy snowfall, heavy as goose feathers, fell silently and gracefully.

The snowfall was immense and spectacular, turning the world into a flawless white expanse in just a short time!
Yun Yi suddenly opened his eyes, and the huge Dharma image behind him also awakened, the bladeless giant sword was swung out along with the square sword.

This sword strike was perfectly executed, demonstrating exquisite skill.

A terrifying sword intent that could annihilate all things and freeze time and space suddenly erupted, even the flowing wind solidified into frost and snow that fell softly!
At this moment, Po Jun finally felt fear, but he had nowhere to escape or avoid, his eyes fixed on that exquisite sword strike.

Without a deafening roar, the sword easily severed Po Jun and his Heavenly Puppet Path.

His expression remained one of astonishment, the world spinning before his eyes as his head flew off.

Before the head and remains could even hit the ground, they were reduced to dust, disappearing without a trace amidst the wind and snow.

Yun Yi dispersed his Dharma form, sheathed his sword, and stood up to meet the gaze of the Heavenly Dao Eye.

He murmured, "My wife, look, it's snowing."
