“Get moving!”
Su Bai was so scared her soul was about to fly out of her body!
If this escape plan failed, her future days would be absolute misery. ‘Creamy white buns’ would probably be the mildest description of her fate!
Without waiting for her to finish, the other three reacted like startled birds. They poured their full power into the **[Omnidirectional Array]**. In an instant, their figures were 100,000s of miles away, fleeing frantically toward the east.
“Stop right there!!”
A furious roar erupted.
Su Bai instinctively looked back. Then, she saw a meteor—a meteor wrapped in rolling black energy. It was a pitch-black spear!
It arrived from the sky 10,000s of miles away in an instant, carrying the momentum of world-ending destruction as it bore down on the **[Omnidirectional Array]** they relied on for their lives.
“I’ll do it!” Wu Ji shouted. He leveled the long halberd in his hand, pouring a surge of majestic power into it before thrusting it violently through the air. The tip of the halberd collided with the terrifying power of that meteor!
*Boom!*
A world-shaking explosion rang out from the highest heavens.
The world suddenly trembled, and the mountains shook.
The boundless energy aftershocks spread out magnificently. Wherever they passed, all impurities were swept away. The sky instantly became as clear as a mirror, and the dark clouds and white mist vanished completely.
The world for 100,000s of miles was instantly swept by a hurricane!
*Pfft!*
Wu Ji sprayed a mouthful of fresh blood, his body flying backward uncontrollably. Fortunately, Bai Changsheng was quick and supported him just in time, barely stabilizing his figure.
The four of them remained shaken, looking up into the distance. High above the clouds 10,000s of miles away, the white clouds parted, and the terrifying figure of a man gradually revealed itself.
It was none other than—Zhou Xuan!
Above his head, crystalline white powder drifted in the wind, shimmering with a strange light under the sun’s reflection.
Ma Zhen stared at the sight, his pupils shrinking. He couldn’t help but mutter to himself, “Sky-Rending Powder… did he hit the sky so hard it cracked?”
“I want to see how many hits you can block,” Zhou Xuan sneered. With a casual wave of his hand, that pitch-black spear reappeared in his palm. The spear’s body was dark and heavy, as if it concentrated the endless power of the netherworld, emitting a terrifying aura that made one’s blood run cold.
Seeing this, Ma Zhen turned his head helplessly to look at Su Bai, whose face was as pale as paper. He flashed a bitter smile. “Mother, this time you’ve really put your son in a terrible spot.”
“Second Son, I haven’t even lectured you for joining a resistance organization behind my back, yet you’re lecturing me first.” Perhaps because she was too terrified, Su Bai couldn’t help but complain. “What’s wrong? Is being the Second Prince not comfortable enough? Or do you not want to inherit the throne at home and want to start your own business?”
Ma Zhen only shook his head and said no more.
He couldn’t possibly reveal the fact that he had accidentally discovered his elder brother’s desire for his master, his mother, and his aunts.
Family scandals should not be made public.
“Damn it! You two stop chatting! Is there a backup plan or not? If not, we’re all dead meat today!!” Bai Changsheng looked at the black meteor cutting through the sky in the distance. His eyelids jumped wildly, and cold sweat poured down.
Wu Ji, who was heavily injured and spitting blood, bit his teeth. “Sister Bai, let me down. I’ll burn my origin and fight that Xuantian Devil to the death!!”
Su Bai remained silent.
Ma Zhen suddenly gave a pure smile. “I don’t have a backup plan, but so what? I have someone backing me! Please—Sirius’s Turning!!”
“What?!” This time, it was finally Su Bai’s turn to look shocked.
—
The Northern Plains, Eternal Heaven.
The Purple-Gold Palace.
*Clack!*
A white piece landed, breaking through a slight gap in the heavy encirclement of black pieces. However, the Will of Sirius did not care about the victory or loss of the chess game. As if sensing something, its eyes reflected the scenes of the pursuit.
“Friend Sirius, this isn’t according to the rules.” The Will of Zhou Xuan’s gaze was like a torch, sharp as a hawk’s.
“Friend Xuantian, you once said something that I quite like.”
The Will of Sirius smiled slightly and slowly stood up, turning to look toward the pursuit in the Central Plains.
“For people like us…” He slowly raised his palm. “Our words are the rules!!”
—
“Damn it! That devil is getting closer! At this rate, he’ll catch us in less than 30 breaths!”
“It’s over, it’s over! If I had known, I would have brought more people!!”
“Four against one, one heavily injured, and one with a sealed cultivation. This wave is truly a disaster!!”
Bai Changsheng wanted to cry but had no tears.
Suddenly, a strange change occurred!
The expressions of everyone on the battlefield changed.
Zhou Xuan, who was originally moving like a gale, suddenly came to a dead halt. He stood silently in the air, his gaze solemn as he stared toward the north.
*Boom—!*
A massive pillar of light spanned the firmament, piercing through heaven and earth, as if it wanted to illuminate the entire world.
This light pillar was so enormous that it looked like a giant river dominating the sky and earth.
Wherever it went, it pushed aside all air. The light pillar moved forward with a magnificent sound that was deafening.
The pillar of light was unstoppable and invincible. It shot out from Eternal Heaven above the Northern Plains, washing over everything as it crashed directly into the Central Plains, striking toward the white-robed Daoist!
Zhou Xuan’s expression remained calm. He pulled a jade pendant from his waist and held it high.
In an instant, the world was filled with arrays, and the sky was filled with profound mirrors!
The arrays formed by these mirrors, the arrays formed by the mirrors in the sky, the arrays of arrays…
Arrays formed by millions of profound mirrors, arrays formed by the celestial palaces…
They interlaced and were scattered like stars on a chessboard.
The void above the Central Plains was completely imprisoned, and even that power of Sirius was no exception!
The pillar of light stalled!
Countless profound mirrors of varying sizes either rose slowly, appeared gradually, or revealed themselves suddenly. They connected with each other to weave a giant net, standing before the light pillar to block its path!
The light pillar grew slower and thinner. The profound mirrors surrounding it were absorbing and transferring its power.
Zhou Xuan’s fingertips lightly rubbed the jade pendant, a strange look in his eyes. “As expected of Master’s treasure. Blocking the power of an Immortal Venerable is so easy—”
Before he could finish, the giant pillar suddenly underwent another change. It exploded violently, splitting into hundreds of golden light pillars that shot out in all directions! It was already too late to stop them!!
The golden light pillars vanished into the profound mirrors, and the mirrors in the sky shattered one after another!
Several golden pillars took the opportunity to sink into the **[Omnidirectional Array]**. The array had originally been shrouded in several feet of golden light.
After the golden pillars entered, those few feet of golden light erupted like a volcano, surging toward the heavens and shooting out hundreds of feet of brilliance!!
Taking advantage of everyone being distracted by the golden light pillar, Bai Changsheng quickly took control of the **[Omnidirectional Array]**. He pushed it with all his might, turning it into a golden line that vanished from the spot!
As time passed, the border between the Central Plains and the Eastern Sea was already in sight. The **[Omnidirectional Array]** was like an arrow leaving a bow string, plunging headfirst into the borderlands. Beneath the boundless blue sky, the vast sea stretched out before them, its surface shimmering as if welcoming their arrival.
Seeing this, Su Bai let out a long breath of turbid air. Her tense nerves relaxed slightly. She couldn’t help but look back, thinking she had finally escaped—
“Do you think you can escape?!”
A large hand abruptly pierced through the array’s barrier, suddenly appearing before the Empress and grabbing directly for Su Bai!!
