Perfection: I have a Tree of Ten Thousand Paths

Chapter 70 The Battle of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion

Outside the gates of Butian Pavilion, countless powerful figures are hiding in secluded places in the mountains and forests. Their purpose in coming here is to find out the truth about this ancient pure land.

A sudden upheaval has occurred in the outside world, with unpredictable events unfolding. Many powerful forces have predicted that the desolate region will undergo a major transformation, and a chaotic era is approaching, perhaps beginning with the Patching Heaven Pavilion.

Therefore, many powerful clans are thinking of taking advantage of the chaos. The ancient Pure Land has a profound foundation, and if it were to fall into ruin, what it leaves behind would be enough to make many clans rise and make many sects envious.

These days, Butian Pavilion has been in the midst of a storm, and they have been evacuating their disciples.

Shi Hao was facing his enemy outside the mountain gate. He had been in seclusion these past few days, oblivious to everything else. Now, his cultivation had been consolidated at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

However, with the storm approaching, he had no choice but to forcefully leave the pass and slay the enemy!

"You brats, you've gone too far! The Heaven-Mending Pavilion is old and feeble, on the verge of collapse. I advise you to be sensible!"

Three old men appeared and charged forward, intending to capture and kill Shi Hao and the two senior brothers from the Heaven-Mending Pavilion.

"Even in its decline, the Heaven-Mending Pavilion will not tolerate your insolence!"

Just then, several figures flew in from nowhere and charged forward without hesitation.

In just a few exchanges, the sky was already covered with runes, followed by a spray of blood as the elders of the six major clans were killed on the spot.

"kill!"

Hundreds of disciples from the Butian Pavilion marched in a large force, intending to trap and kill the forces of the six major clans here.

In the end, Lei Zu Mu Yan personally took action, unleashing his thunderous divine power with overwhelming force, sending out dozens of layers of lightning that completely engulfed the mountain.

All the people from the six major clans were wiped out and turned into ashes.

However, the major forces quickly regrouped and within a few days destroyed the stronghold that Butian Pavilion had been operating for many years. Almost all the disciples and experts in the sect were wiped out, and even the pavilion master was severely injured.

"Is Heaven truly determined to destroy my Heaven-Mending Pavilion?!"

An elderly man cried out in anguish, two lines of bloody tears streaming down his face, his eyes filled with pain and despair.

Shi Hao was also filled with grief. Not long ago, he was seeing off his senior brothers and sisters. He never imagined that it would be the last time they would be separated by death.

"The Heaven-Mending Pavilion will not end here!"

A childish voice came from outside the hall, and the elders looked towards the outside of the hall.

A small figure slowly walked towards them, led by a girl. The newcomers were Qi Shi'an and Huo Ling'er.

"Xiao An, Junior Sister!"

Shi Hao was overjoyed. He hadn't seen Qi Shi'an for a long time after leaving seclusion, and he had thought that Qi Shi'an's cultivation had gone wrong.

"Elders, the Fire Emperor has promised to do his utmost to protect everyone in the Heaven-Mending Pavilion."

Qi Shi'an's words made all the elders present hesitate.

In their view, the Fire Emperor was exceptionally powerful, so why would he easily lend a hand to help their Heaven-Mending Pavilion overcome its difficulties?

"Elders, please rest assured, my father has indeed agreed to this matter."

Huo Ling'er smiled, looking quite lively.

Upon hearing this, the elders of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion were filled with renewed hope. As long as the Fire Emperor was willing to intervene, they were certain that the flame could be preserved.

In the future, their Heaven-Mending Pavilion will surely become great again!

"Elders, the failure of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion is inevitable, and other forces will certainly not let us go."

"Escape! Even if it's to another region beyond the desolate wasteland, as long as you live, there's still hope of rebuilding the Heaven-Mending Pavilion!"

"I obtained a map in Hundred Broken Mountains, which records the secret location of the inter-domain teleportation array."

Although Qi Shi'an is young, he reveals a maturity beyond his years.

This is the only solution he can think of right now. Although the Fire Emperor can save the situation for a while, he still cannot avoid being attacked by many powerful forces.

At that time, even the Fire Emperor will not be able to defeat the overwhelming force.

Only by fleeing to foreign lands can they escape the pursuit and seek revenge in the future.

For a moment, the hall fell silent. They all knew that there was no way to turn the tide.

But their minds were still struggling. Escaping to foreign lands would be a good thing, but how could they bear to leave the land where they had spent half their lives?

"He's right. As long as one person survives, the Butian Pavilion will not be destroyed. It will be reborn from the ashes sooner or later."

Cai Ling spoke calmly. From ancient times to the present, it has experienced too much and paid a heavy price to protect this pure land.

At that moment, it rose from the ground, its azure light soaring into the sky, and countless chains of divine order intertwined, filling the heavens: "The enemy is coming! You must leave quickly, taking with you the flame of hope, and depart from this place!"

"Lord Sacrifice to Spirits!"

Everyone looked grief-stricken. At this moment, the life of the sacrificial spirit was coming to an end, and even the miracle of resurrection was impossible.

"Go!" the sacrificial spirit roared for the first time.

In the distance, a terrifying aura surged, a divine halo enveloped the sky, powerful figures looked down upon the world, and a golden road stretched out from tens of thousands of miles away.

Besides, the area around Butian Pavilion was filled with all sorts of people and creatures, all waiting for an opportunity.

Once this vast ancient paradise collapses, the divine treasures it leaves behind will be astonishing.

"You will lead your disciples and go your separate ways; the Heaven-Mending Pavilion cannot function without you!"

Lei Zu Mu Yan gave instructions to several of the younger elders, then roared and charged out: "I'm off!"

Several of the most powerful elders of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion also followed Lei Zu Mu Yan out to clear a path for everyone.

"boom----"

The battle erupted immediately, with runes intertwining in the sky and dazzling magical techniques, directly shattering a mountain peak.

"Let's go!"

The rest of the people from Butian Pavilion split into five groups, with all the disciples closely following the leading elders.

A dozen elders cleared a path, all bathed in blood, and activated their magical artifacts, carving out a bloody trail to lead a group of disciples to break through the encirclement.

"No one can leave!"

An old man flew through the air, his feet resting on an ancient beast hide, and he wielded a golden divine sword, which he brought down in a downward slash.

"boom!"

Mountains crumbled and rivers changed course. The power of this sword was unimaginable; it directly severed the earth, cleaving out a black abyss. Many disciples perished in it, and even several elders died.

"The Tuoba family, you've finally arrived!"

Lei Zu's beard and hair danced wildly, his body crackling with electricity. He wielded the Thunder God's Hammer, stood on a divine feather, and charged forward at lightning speed.

With a loud "boom," the purple Thor's Hammer unleashed a thick bolt of lightning, repelling the Tuoba family's attackers, before swiftly charging forward.

At this moment, people were everywhere around the Butian Pavilion, and many of the sect's elders were leading their disciples to break through the encirclement.

Deep within the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, the efforts of some elders were in vain; the golden void passage constructed by the sacrificial spirits was destroyed, clearly indicating that a powerful figure had intervened.

At this moment, the most terrifying battle took place high in the sky, where the divine vine soared into the clouds, confronting several supreme experts. Its entire body shone with brilliant green light, bursting forth with dazzling brilliance.

The four great creatures—Qiongqi, the Devouring Sparrow, and a humanoid being—engaged in a fierce battle high in the sky, shaking the heavens and earth, causing thunderclouds to surge as if the world were about to be destroyed.

On the ground, a bloody battle was also taking place, dazzling and magnificent. Amidst the intertwining runes, severed limbs and broken pieces flew up continuously, making life seem incredibly fragile at this moment.

Several elders, in order to protect their disciples from breaking through the encirclement, used their own bodies to block the powerful enemy, and were engulfed by the runes, perishing one after another.

Qi Shi'an and Shi Hao fled, but were ambushed. The two joined forces to kill the enemy, but there were too many of them, and they were all top-notch experts. They could only fight to the death.

"Princess, when will the Fire Emperor arrive?"

Qi Shi'an was struggling to withstand the overwhelming number of enemies.

Even if he is strong, he is only a minor Inscription Realm expert. On this battlefield, there are countless Array Realm experts and many Venerable Realm experts.

"They should be here soon, they should be on their way."

Huo Ling'er sat upright on the Void Beast Skin, with several powerful figures protecting her closely.

"Junior sister, come quickly and help!"

Shi Hao's face flushed red, his body stained with the blood of many enemies.

Huo Ling'er explained solemnly, "Since Father Emperor is not here, I cannot act rashly. Otherwise, the other Human Emperor forces present will also intervene, and the situation you face will become even more difficult."

Currently, the three major human emperor forces in the desolate region are all observing the battle and have not personally intervened.

However, if she chooses to take action now, the forces of the Stone Emperor and the Wood Emperor will think that the Fire Emperor has joined the war, and the Heaven-Mending Pavilion will be in an even more complicated situation.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar echoed through the sky, followed by a burst of blazing light. An endless rain of light fell, incredibly sacred, like petals fluttering in the air, imbued with the aura of the gods.

"Goodbye, I can no longer protect this pure land."

A sigh came from the spirit of the sacrifice. In this sigh, there was no fear of death, only regret for what was left undone.

"Grandpa Shintō————"

Shi Hao murmured sadly as a drop of light fell on his cheek, warm as if it were the last time the spirit of the sacrifice was touching his face.

"The sacrificial spirit—is dead?!"

Qi Shi'an breathed heavily, looking at the rain of light falling from the sky, as if a surge of resentment was pressing on his heart, with nowhere to be released.

This old vine protected the Heaven-Mending Pavilion for a lifetime because of a single promise, and never left.

At this moment, everyone in the Butian Pavilion was filled with grief. Old Vine had sacrificed so much for the Butian Pavilion, and even at the last moment, his only thought was to protect the Butian Pavilion.

This extraordinary level of skill deeply touched Qi Shi'an's heart.

He used to not understand whether it was really worth it to give up one's entire life for a promise.

However, at this moment, he felt that some people only felt they had truly "lived" because of a promise.

The great path is ruthless, but human kindness is boundless!

Qi Shi'an seemed to have gained some enlightenment, as if he had entered a state of harmony with nature, with the laws of heaven and earth flowing through his body.

He could clearly perceive the workings of the laws of heaven and earth and hear the voices of all living beings.

Shi Hao and Huo Ling'er were both shocked. They never expected that Qi Shi'an would suddenly enter the state of oneness with heaven and man right in front of them.

"Hahaha—the Heaven-Mending Pavilion is about to be destroyed! While you are bathing in the divine rain, cheer and go wild!"

An old monster from the Tuoba tribe, with disheveled hair, laughed wildly.

He was covered in blood, but it wasn't his own. He had killed many elders of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion and was one of the strongest in the clan.

"Exterminate them all to prevent future troubles!"

The Tuoba family, Xiling Beast Mountain and other major forces were unwilling to let go of anyone from Butian Pavilion, fearing that they would become a major threat in the future.

Upon hearing this, everyone was eager to rush forward and seize the opportunity.

Suddenly, a majestic voice echoed from the sky: "Alas, we're still a step too late!"

The moment that voice rang out, everyone present was startled and immediately became alert.

Because the Human Emperor has arrived!
