Chapter 40 Fellow Daoist, are you destined to meet me at Haishan?
Lost in thought, Baili Yuan was horrified to find that his movements were getting slower and slower.
He raised his hand, which seemed to be immersed in amber, every movement carrying a suffocating slowness.
He wanted to turn around, to back away, to push Shi Guagua away—but his body felt as if it were entangled by countless invisible threads, the more he struggled, the tighter they became.
No, it's not that he slowed down.
Rather, time stood still.
In his bloodshot eyes, a transparent sword slowly emerged.
There were no runes or patterns on the sword, only a chilling, time-like pressure.
This feeling—
It's the Penglai Myriad Laws Sword from Haishan!
Baili Yuan's pupils shrank to pinpoints.
He instinctively wanted to dodge.
He was fast enough that, with his cultivation level, even if time were frozen, he could dodge it even if he suffered some injury.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Shi Guagua beside him.
The girl remained in the same position, clutching the scroll in her hand, a smile still lingering on her lips.
Faced with the power of the Penglai Myriad Laws Sword to freeze time, even a girl with low cultivation level couldn't blink.
Baili Yuan gritted his teeth.
No, I can't hide.
Guagua will get hurt!
His feet were planted firmly on the ground, not moving an inch.
But as he watched the sword tip approaching, Baili Yuan felt a chill run down his spine, and a cold sensation shot from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
The traps set by Hai Shan using the magic scroll are only about 80% as powerful as those of the real Hai Shan.
The issue is--
I can't withstand this sword strike either.
If you get caught, your lifespan will be cut short!
The sword tip drew ever closer, silently slicing through the air before it, even the moonlight refracted into fragmented spots by the transparent blade.
In the midst of the crisis, Baili Yuan heard a thought coming from underground.
The voice was ancient and weathered, as if it had traveled from a very, very far place, or as if it had been sleeping deep underground and had finally been awakened.
I, across the river of time, beg for my help.
Baili Yuan was overjoyed.
His past life has awakened!
He shouted loudly, his voice filled with the relief of surviving a disaster:
"Wild! Help me!"
The words fell.
The ground exploded with a deafening roar.
A figure burst forth from the ground—
His skin was deathly pale, his muscles were bulging, and his body was covered in wounds.
A bronze mask covered his face, revealing only two deep-set eyes.
His entire body surged with magical power, as deep and unfathomable as a prison.
The figure twisted his waist in mid-air, exerting force, and six completely different supernatural powers converged, intertwined, and merged in his right fist.
【Emperor Fist Ninety-nine】
The Final Blow
[Key Points]
[The Great Annihilation Returns to One Hand]
【Awakener's Ultimate Fist】
Macro and Micro Approaches
He threw a punch.
The power of the six supernatural abilities perfectly combined at this moment, transforming into a fist force powerful enough to tear apart heaven and earth, fiercely meeting the life-severing sword from the river of time.
"boom--!!!"
The magical forces clashed violently, causing mountains to collapse and the earth to crack.
Visible shockwaves spread in all directions, hurling rubble and debris from the ruins into the air before being crushed into dust by the aftershocks.
A surge of air and billowing smoke filled the air.
Baili Yuan was pushed back several steps by the shockwave, his feet carving two deep furrows in the ground.
He shielded Shi Guagua behind him with his back, using it to block the flying pebbles.
The smoke and dust cleared.
The figure stood proudly before the two, his eyes beneath the bronze mask calm as still water, as if the punch he had just delivered was merely a casual gesture.
Baili Yuan, having survived the ordeal, looked at the person beside him and let out a long breath:
"Ara, thank goodness you're here."
He patted his chest, still shaken; his white suit was covered in dust.
"The seamount is in a ditch, it's incredibly gloomy."
Huang is the previous incarnation of Baili Yuan.
They, and their reincarnations, were chosen by the Myriad Corpse Immortals as protectors throughout the long river of time.
The shared supernatural power of these individuals is the "Dharma of No-Self"—
They can transform their own power into blood and flesh, and use this as a medium to invade and control others.
If the other party possesses innate supernatural powers, they can be used as long as the other party is still alive.
Just now, it was only by relying on the [Selfless Dharma Form] that Huang Yiquan, who contained six supernatural powers, was able to intercept this attack.
The voice beneath the bronze mask was devoid of joy or sorrow, as if recounting a trivial matter:
"The strongest supreme being of Penglai".
"All three versions of me in the timeline called for my support, saying that you fought against him."
He paused, his gaze falling on the scroll that had lost its luster:
"We seem to have a special connection with this sea and mountain."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Baili Yuan looking at him with a terrified expression.
Huang was somewhat bewildered, and his brows furrowed slightly beneath the bronze mask.
"What's wrong?"
Baili Yuan was sweating profusely, and his voice was trembling:
"You just said—we have a special connection with Haishan?"
He nodded blankly: "What?"
The sudden surge of magical power beside him abruptly cut off Huang's unfinished words.
One, two, four, eight—
Countless scrolls lit up simultaneously in every corner of the Jiujiemen ruins, densely packed, emitting a faint glow from the cracks in the ruins, from under the collapsed walls, and from the dried-up ditches.
The light merged into one, illuminating the entire ruins as bright as day.
Then, countless voices rang out simultaneously, overlapping each other, like ten thousand bells ringing in unison:
"Fellow Daoist, it seems you and I, Hai Shan, have a connection?"
