Chapter 1237: Chapter 1236: Fragile Space

Regarding exposing his identity, Lu Yang expressed his helplessness.

His opponent was the renowned Si Heng Divine Monarch; winning without putting up a full fight was very unlikely.

Using his full might, including his signature moves, made it rational for people from Yaoyang Sect and Jiuyou Sect to recognize him.

Well, after playing this role for so long, it was time to bring it to an end.

Mu Baiyi and Liu Zhen saw Lu Yang smile at them, their faces turned deathly pale.

Both were influential figures in their respective sects, far more intelligent than Chi Sect Leader, who only studied solar energy.

Run?

Lu Yang was the Young Sect Master, which meant that Heavenly Court Sect was actually Seek Dao Sect—a sect with a pair of immortals and too many half-immortals to count on one hand. Facing this power, they didn’t even feel the urge to run.

No, no, no, they shouldn’t think like that. If they insisted that the Young Sect Master had possessed Lu Yang, there might still be a way out.

"You are Lu Yang," Si Heng Divine Monarch also laughed, having heard Chi Sect Leader’s words.

Before this, he only knew that Heavenly Court Sect was fake, but not the real identity of the Young Sect Master. Now he finally understood.

Hearing Si Heng Divine Monarch’s words, Mu Baiyi and Liu Zhen felt desperate. It was bad enough that you were after the Reincarnation Dao Fruit Prototype, but now you were also cutting off their way of life.

Upon learning Lu Yang’s true identity, Si Heng Divine Monarch’s eyes showed a ruthless glint, "To be honest, dealing with you directly is quite difficult."

"Do you know, this Fengdu Space is filled with ghosts and heavy with Yin energy, which can be considered the Netherworld."

"If there’s a Netherworld, then there must be a World of the Living. What do you think constitutes the World of the Living?"

A bad premonition rose in Lu Yangxin’s heart; his sword glare became increasingly fierce. "What are you planning to do!"

Braving the sword light, Si Heng Divine Monarch activated the Yin-Yang Dao Fruit Prototype, "Yin Yang Conversion!"

Suddenly, countless mortals appeared in Fengdu Space, all looking lost and confused.

"Where is this?"

"It’s so cold."

"What’s happening?"

"Look, there are powerful beings fighting in the sky!"

Si Heng Divine Monarch had transported all the citizens of Zhongshan County to Fengdu Space. Now, this space was not only filled with Jiuyou Sect followers but also countless innocent citizens!

This was how he stealthily entered Fengdu Space.

Lord Man, seeing the two Senior Brothers in the sky, was surprised too. Weren’t the Senior Brothers supposed to go to Fengdu Space? Is this place really Fengdu Space, and who are they fighting against, why are people from Zhongshan County here?

Holding black fire and ice crystal in his hands, Si Heng Divine Monarch clapped them together. The extreme substances collided and fused into a black tornado mixed with ice crystals.

This was an ice-fire tornado that could wreak havoc in Fengdu Space; if it descended, the casualties would be severe.

"I wonder if you’ll catch or dodge this move!" Now all the citizens of Zhongshan County were his hostages, and he didn’t believe Lu Yang would dare to avoid this move.

Lu Yang’s expression was cold as water, "It seems I can only take it head-on... Did you think I would do that!"

Suddenly, he moved like lightning, wielding the Green Peak Sword to slash the black tornado. Si Heng Divine Monarch laughed, believing a sword could not cut through wind.

However, in the next moment, he was proven wrong. The black tornado was directly sucked into the Small World of the Green Peak Sword.

"Truly worthy of being an Immortal Sword, it even has its own small world!"

"But can you absorb my attacks that easily!"

Lu Yang looked at him with a half-smile, "Si Heng Divine Monarch, it seems your mastery of space spells is somewhat lacking, isn’t it?"

"What does that mean?" Si Heng God Monarch didn’t understand why Lu Yang had asked this.

Lu Yang didn’t answer; while speaking, he unleashed a charged strike with his sword. Si Heng God Monarch blocked it with his bloody staff, yet the sword’s force was still so overwhelming that it sliced open a crack in space, directly knocking Si Heng out of the Fengdu Space.

Si Heng God Monarch was both shocked and furious. Who built this space? It’s so fragile it breaks on contact!

Such a level shouldn’t even be used to construct spaces; it’s embarrassing!

He had considered the possibility of Lu Yang knocking him out of the Fengdu Space, but he quickly dismissed it. The reason was simple; space is supposed to be extremely sturdy, impossible to be split open with a single sword strike, and during their fight, he wouldn’t let Lu Yang have the opportunity to sever space repeatedly.

Who would have thought this rotten space would crack with a single sword strike!

Since countless Qingfeng Swords appeared beneath Si Heng God Monarch’s feet, he hurriedly jumped away, only to find the Qingfeng Swords multiplying in an inconceivable number, encircling him.

Swordmanship Domain!

By this time, Zhongshan County had turned into a ghost town. While in Fengdu Space, Lu Yang was somewhat restrained in his movements, but now he could fully engage in battle!

Lu Yang landed and spawned a Wooden Avatar, which used the Qingfeng Sword Elephant Form Boxing to turn into another Qingfeng Sword.

"Ten Thousand Swords Returning to Origin!"

The Inheriting Shadow Sword, Seven Star Sword Set, Wooden Avatar’s Qingfeng Sword, and the real Qingfeng Sword fused into one. Lu Yang’s Sword Intent soared, causing Si Heng God Monarch’s hair to stand on end—his opponent was more dangerous than he had estimated!

Buddha Land in Palm appeared; a colossal handprint descended from the sky, enveloping the whole Zhongshan County. The ridges formed by its fingerprints were large enough to hold mountains.

"Don’t think you are the only one who can use this move; Universe in Palm!"

Si Heng God Monarch unleashed a similar Divine Ability, forming a huge palm to counter the giant sky-covering handprint.

The two massive handprints collided, causing space to fluctuate.

Si Heng God Monarch was so tired he was gasping for air; this move was extremely draining of spiritual essence. He assumed his opponent must be catching his breath just like him.

However, he didn’t know that Lu Yang’s power came from his Buddha Country Avatar. Drawing from a seemingly inexhaustible source, using Buddha Land in Palm was nothing to him.

Moving like a specter, he appeared behind Si Heng God Monarch. Before the latter could react, he cleaved down. Si Heng God Monarch had a layer of Protective Golden Light over his body, but in front of Lu Yang, it was as flimsy as paper, easily pierced through. Si Heng God Monarch was split in two!

But Si Heng God Monarch did not die; each half turned into an independent entity—they were his Yin Yang Two Forms.

...

In the Fengdu Space, Man Gu had roughly figured out that this experience was the result of his Senior Brothers fighting the enemy.

The priority now was to stabilize the public’s spirit. Those here were citizens from Zhongshan County and the twenty counties under its jurisdiction. It would be chaotic even for Cultivators suddenly transported here, not to mention the civilians. With such chaos, if they weren’t affected by the battle above, major incidents like stampedes and robberies would occur!

He hastily gathered everyone, issued orders, while the secretary assisted on the side, reminding Man Gu of any details he had overlooked.

Man Gu had just assumed the position of County Magistrate and was supposed to still be establishing his authority. However, who in the higher echelons of Zhongshan County wouldn’t fear Man Gu’s notorious fierceness? None dared to disobey openly or secretly.

After dispatching the orders, the upper echelons received their orders and left. Man Gu, parched and dry-mouthed, guzzled down water and felt much better.

"You are Lord Man Man Gu, right?" Suddenly, a group approached Man Gu, and he recognized them.

Because he knew them, Man Gu was all the more astonished and even began to feel wary.

"What do you plan to do?"

Mu Baiyi rubbed his hands and smiled, "I am here representing the Jiuyou Sect to surrender."

Following him, Chi Sect Leader and Liu Zhen said, "We are here representing the Yaoyang Sect to surrender."

"Ah?"
