Chapter 1194: Dead, But Not Really
Back then, the Holy Xuan only managed to counter Moral Sovereign by dispatching people to sever and block the dragon veins, cutting off the power that sustained the immortal sword.
The Holy Xuan had such means because he was backed by the entire Daoist Order. But Chen Shuhua, now reduced to a wanted fugitive, lacked such resources and could only choose to face the blow head-on.
Even the Holy Xuan of that era could not withstand a single strike of Moral Sovereign, so how could Chen Shuhua possibly block it?
Without a doubt, Chen Shuhua was almost reduced to ashes with this strike.
However, Chen Shuhua still had one final use of the Taisu Mystical Arts.
The fourth stage of the Taisu Mystical Arts granted one an undying state. No matter what injury one suffered, recovery was instantaneous. The body would be restored to perfect condition.
In an instant, Chen Shuhua passed through the four seasons of her life and transformed into a white-haired, aged woman.
All the injuries inflicted upon her by Moral Sovereign vanished without a trace.
Seizing the moment when Great Sage Jiang had to pause to catch his breath from having expended too much energy, Chen Shuhua shot skyward, intent on escaping this place.
At this very moment, Great Sage Jiang’s prior arrangements finally took effect.
In an instant, yin and yang inverted, and stars scattered across the skies.
The stars continually shifted positions, seemingly without any discernible pattern. Wherever they moved, light dimmed accordingly, and everything fell into silence. The surrounding environment began transforming into a starry void.
