Chapter 703: The Heavenly Dao Disappeared
Just as Feng Xiyan’s blue sword was about to strike the point between the Heavenly Dao’s golden eyes, it collided with an invisible barrier.
Clang!
Boom!
The collision of the two forces struck Feng Xiyan directly, causing him to cough up blood.
"Cough!"
Seeing this, Gui Ying shouted, "Feng Xiyan! Are you courting death?! Stop right now!"
Ignoring him, Feng Xiyan channeled more internal energy into his sword and increased his strength. Clenching his jaw, he used all his power to forcefully pierce through the invisible barrier.
Seeing the approaching sword, shock flashed across Heavenly Dao’s golden eyes.
Before it could react, Feng Xiyan’s sword finally burst through the barrier.
Stab!
At that moment, the world fell into silence. Even the Yin Mirror and the Ancestor, who were fighting below, paused and looked up.
Gripping his sword tighter, Feng Xiyan felt his body being crushed under an immense pressure, as if a mountain pressed down on him. By now, his internal organs were severely damaged, and there was no intact skin on his body.
Staring at the massive golden eyes, Feng Xiyan opened his pale lips. Blood dripped from his chin as he said coldly, "You killed her. You must pay with your life..."
The moment his words fell, Feng Xiyan drove his sword deeper—until it struck something solid.
For the first time since its existence, the Heavenly Dao felt something called death. Its golden eyes widened in shock and disbelief, but it was too late.
Feng Xiyan gave it no chance to react and shattered the golden core.
Crack! Crash!
As the golden core shattered into pieces, the Heavenly Dao finally let out a scream filled with pain and fear.
"No!!"
Feng Xiyan gritted his teeth and slashed down with his sword, completely ending the Heavenly Dao.
"Ah!!"
As he watched the giant golden eyes dissolve into golden particles and vanish into nothingness, Feng Xiyan slowly closed his eyes. He lost his strength and fell down.
’Yun’er... don’t walk too fast. Wait for me. I’m coming...’
Below, when the Ancestor saw that the Heavenly Dao had disappeared. As shock and fear flickered in his cold eyes, he clenched his sword.
’I can’t stay here any longer.’
The moment this thought crossed his mind, he abandoned his plan to subdue the Yin Mirror and fled.
Seeing the Ancestor suddenly retreat, the severely injured Yin Mirror couldn’t hold on any longer. As soon as she relaxed her body, she fell heavily to the ground.
Thud!
Looking at Feng Xiyan’s falling figure, she was struggling to reach out toward him, but was too weak to move.
"...Ma–Master..."
Just as she thought she could only watch Feng Xiyan fall to his death, Gui Ying appeared beside Feng Xiyan and caught him.
Seeing this, the Yin Mirror let out a sigh of relief before finally losing consciousness.
Carrying Feng Xiyan in his arms, Gui Ying quickly used his spiritual energy to examine Feng Xiyan’s condition.
When he realized how severe the injuries were, he couldn’t help but curse, "Bastard! Are you trying to kill yourself?!"
Although furious at Feng Xiyan’s recklessness, Gui Ying had no time to waste. Landing on the ground, he scanned the surroundings and found the Yin Mirror, who had reverted to her bronze mirror form.
Without hesitation, Gui Ying strode over, picked her up, and rushed back to the Gui Clan’s secret realm.
While Gui Ying raced against time to save them, Gui Fan, the elders, and the members of the Gui Clan sensed the disappearance of the Heavenly Dao.
Standing in the open field of the main peak, Gui Fan and the elders looked up at the sky.
After a moment of silence, Gui Fan asked in disbelief, "Could it be that Ying Ying really killed the Heavenly Dao?"
The elders remained silent, not daring to respond.
All of them knew the consequences of a world without the Heavenly Dao.
Order would collapse, and chaos would consume everything. Without the Heavenly Dao to maintain the rules of the world, it would not be long before everything fell apart.
As everyone stared at the sky in unease, Gui Ying finally arrived at his floating mountain. Carrying Feng Xiyan and the Yin Mirror, he rushed to the spiritual hot spring at the back of the mountain.
Upon arrival, Gui Ying placed Feng Xiyan on the arhat bed beside the spiritual hot spring, then quickly carried the Yin Mirror and set her next to the Yang Mirror under the hot spring.
Afterward, he erected several layers of barriers before returning to Feng Xiyan. With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen jade bottles appeared on the small table beside the arhat bed.
Opening one of them, Gui Ying poured out a golden pill and fed it to Feng Xiyan. Then, he formed a series of complex hand seals.
Moments later, a formation appeared above Feng Xiyan’s body. As it slowly rotated, Gui Ying channeled his spiritual energy into it, transforming the powerful spiritual energy into a soft green mist.
As the green mist enveloped Feng Xiyan, his external injuries began to heal.
While Gui Ying struggled to save Feng Xiyan’s life, far away in modern times, something unusual occurred in Fu Cheng Town.
That evening, as people went about their daily routines, a sudden bolt of lightning struck the suburban area.
Boom!
The sound was so loud that it triggered car alarms throughout the area. Startled, people began to gather.
Before long, a crowd had formed around the scorched ground.
Amid the curious onlookers, someone suddenly exclaimed, "Look! There is someone in the crater!"
Drawn by the shout, the crowd turned toward the center. The moment they saw the unconscious figure lying in the charred ground, everyone gasped sharply.
A moment later, someone pulled out a phone and took a photo.
Click.
The sound echoed clearly in the stunned silence.
Snapping out of it, more people quickly took out their phones to take pictures or record videos.
Some, still clear-headed, shouted, "Quick! Call the police!"
Hearing this, another one reminded the crowd, "Call an ambulance!"
In an instant, the previously silent scene erupted into chaos. Some people called for help, while others began livestreaming, hoping to gain attention and popularity.
