Hidden Blade

Chapter 738 Something Beyond The Heavens

The southward flying geese would travel northward in spring, and the dying eagle would ascend the cliff with its last breath.

People who toss and turn will look far away before they die, looking for their hometown.

The world to creatures is the north to geese and the cliff to eagles.

You were born and raised here, so even if you wandered for a thousand years, there will always be something in the depths of your soul that will lead you all the way back to the beginning of your birth.

This was even more so for the ignorant soul.

It was too powerful, strong enough to contain the power of an emperor, so it could be killed or even imprisoned. Therefore, they could only banish this soul into the boundless void, forgetting that he and his world would eventually attract each other, and that the children who left home would eventually return, or..

He's back.

..

The old man looked at Xu Han. Looking at the things that kept pouring into Xu Han's body from the purple-eyed girl's corpse, the shock between his eyebrows surpassed that of a single breath. This was a very rare thing for the old man who had mastered countless worlds in the starry sky. At least, in his eyes, there was no one in this world. Nothing could make him feel this way.

"It.. How could it be here.."

He murmured to himself. Even then, he was still incredulous of what was happening before him.

He grabbed his neck from afar, At this moment, Xu Han, who was unable to move, slowly raised his head. His tense body seemed to have broken free from the invisible restraints and slowly relaxed. He stared at the old man with his pitch-black eyes and said, "Look at me too carefully, so much of what happened in this world was missed by you. So, I won this round."

After Xu Han finished speaking, his body suddenly trembled. The violent power in the depths of the world seemed to have been somewhat inspired, and rushed into Xu Han's body.

The aura around Xu Han swayed. The old man, who was still in a state of shock, was momentarily overwhelmed and his body paused. It was convenient for him to be blown away by this majestic aura at that time.

Of course, this kind of power was far from enough to take the life of the true owner of the Myriad Domains of the Universe, and even the damage it caused to him could be said to be negligible. Compared to this, the shock in his heart clearly made the old man even more uneasy.

"Why is it here! Obviously.. Obviously!!" He stared fixedly at Xu Han and continued to repeat his previous words. However, his tone was even more frightened than the murmur he had just uttered.

Xu Han took a step forward. The black wings on his back spread out once again. This time, the wings were a hundred thousand feet tall and had the potential to cover the sky. He said, "Only villains would explain the background of the enemy."

With that, he flapped his wings and charged towards the old man.

Xu Han's strength had obviously risen to an unimaginable level with the frenzied injection of the Emperor's power. His offensive was fierce, and every punch caused the space where the fist wind descended to shatter, revealing the boundless void behind him.

The old man continuously retreated under Xu Han's cold attack. He actually didn't have the slightest bit of strength to retaliate.

It seemed that he also realized that if he continued fighting like this, Xu Han would only become braver and braver. Even though Xu Han's current offensive was not enough to completely defeat him, if he stayed in this world for long enough, Xu Han would obtain enough strength to completely kill him.

However, killing the current Xu Han was not something he could do. Every world had its own rules, and in order to protect its own world, the power of any foreign object would be weakened when it came to another world. Although the world was riddled with holes, such rules would not change as long as the world existed. As an Immortal Realm expert, although the old man could constantly destroy the laws of this world, allowing the projection in this world to continuously obtain the power from the body, his speed was far inferior to the Emperor's power that Xu Han had extracted from the depths of the world. At the very least, Xu Han, who had obtained that person's soul, was definitely not someone he could defeat in a short period of time. The longer he dragged it out, the greater the danger he would face.

Gui Guzi's desire for good luck and avoidance of evil was an instinct that had almost merged into their bodies. As the true ruler of the Gui Guzi bloodline, the old man naturally would not take such a risk. His heart skipped a beat as he waved his long black sleeve. Black and white energy surged across the sky, temporarily stopping Xu Han's attack. Then, his body fled towards the dome without turning back. His speed was far beyond Xu Han's reach.

Of course, Xu Han did not have the intention to chase after him. He looked at the escaping figure with deep eyes, and in the next moment, he withdrew his gaze without any reluctance to fight. Just as the old man knew that he was unable to defeat Xu Han in this world, Xu Han also knew that once he rushed out of this world, he would not necessarily be able to defeat the old man. Furthermore, absorbing that divine soul was not a blessing for Xu Han.

Moreover, there were still many questions before Xu Han at this moment.

When Nineteen saw the old man leave, she stepped forward to say something to Xu Han, but her words stopped quietly.

At this moment, her head was in a mess. She didn't understand what had just happened. Was that old man the enemy? Is Xu Han a friend again? This answer, which should have been clear in the girl's heart, was confused at this moment, and it was hard to tell if it was right or wrong. Everything that had happened in just a few hours was too sudden for Nineteen. She had no choice but to look up at her master, hoping that he would give her an answer. After all, what he had just said and done clearly understood the whole story better than herself.

However, her master ignored Nineteen's gaze. Instead, he looked at Xu Han with a complicated expression. He looked at Xu Han with his back facing him for a long time, as if he had gathered the courage to say, "He left. Now, you can turn around. Perhaps"

Xu Han, who had always been silent, did not turn around. He raised his head to look at the sky that was constantly being corroded by the void outside the sky. Then, he said in a low voice, "He will return. This is the only way. Either he goes down or he dies on the road. Other than that, we have no other choice."

Black-clothed Zhou Yuan was silent again, and this silence undoubtedly meant that he agreed with Xu Han's words.

Xu Han suddenly turned around and looked at Zhou Yuan. At that moment, a smile appeared on his face, which was covered in veins that were like poisonous snakes.

That was a very strange smile. First of all, such a ferocious and terrifying face was not suitable for such an expression. Furthermore, facing Zhou Yuan, who did not know how old he was, the smile on Xu Han's face actually carried a bit of comfort and warmth when he treated his junior.

Such a smile coupled with such a face was naturally extremely strange.

But what Nineteen didn't expect was that Xu Han actually reached out his hand and placed it on top of Zhou Yuan's head. He gently stroked his snow-white hair before saying, "It's been so many years. It's been hard on you."

In that case, Zhou Yuan's eyes, which had always been quiet in Nineteen's eyes, inexplicably turned red. Not only that, Nineteen could clearly feel that Zhou Yuan's body started to tremble slightly. He lowered his head as if he was trying his best to endure the rush of something from the red sockets. Although this was a bit out of place, Nineteen still felt that his master's behavior at this moment was a little too feminine.

"This is the last time. If we persist, everything will be fine." However, Xu Han did not seem to be surprised at all. Instead, he spoke in an extremely gentle tone.

"But" Zhou Yuan lowered his head, as if he wanted to say something. It was unknown if it was because of the illusion of Nineteen or because it was really too sad. She secretly felt that Zhou Yuan's voice was somewhat distorted at this moment.

Of course, she didn't have much time to savor the changes that her master had undergone at this moment, because after Xu Han finished speaking, he raised his head to look at the dome again. With a flap of his wings behind him, his body rose into the sky and flew into the sky. Zhou Yuan's words came to an abrupt halt at this moment. He looked at the figure fleeing towards the horizon at the same time as Nineteen.

..

The damage to the world was already extremely serious. It no longer required any external force. As long as he was allowed to live a little longer, the world would slowly die under the devouring of the void and the annihilation of his own destiny. This time was not too long. It was only a few ten days' worth of time.

Xu Han understood this very well, so the first thing he did under the dome was to calmly look at this world that was riddled with holes.

The void outside the world was a boundless expanse of terrifying things that tried to devour everything. The first thing Xu Han needed to do was to expel the void that had already flowed into the world.

His heart skipped a beat. The wings on his back spread out again. A violent aura surged out, Like a tidal wave, it poured towards the surroundings, Strange to say, Under the impact of that imposing aura, The void that was sticking to the gaps in the dome like clay began to tremble crazily. It was as if they were extremely afraid of Xu Han's aura. After such a frenzied tremble, they quickly retreated. However, in less than a hundred breaths of time, the void attached to the various parts of the world dome pushed out of this world.

However, such a situation was not something that could be done once and for all. In fact, even after leaving this world, the void around the world was still flipping slightly. There was an irresistible desire to move, and there was also fear of Xu Han who was in this world.

Xu Han knew that the dormancy in the void was only temporary. He needed to do more to save this world.

He did not hesitate too much. After he drank away the void, his eyebrows sank. He opened his hands again and a monstrous black gas surged out.

They covered the sky and covered the sun, like waves flowing endlessly like rivers. Under the stimulation of Xu Han's will, they rushed towards the gaps in the dome.

This was not as simple as drinking back the void.

The world was naturally insignificant to the Myriad Domains of the Universe, but for every living being in this world, the world was incomparably huge. Even if Xu Han wanted to repair this world now, it would not be an easy task.

Black gas was still gushing out of his body, rushing towards the farther and farther away, into the large and small cracks one after another.

Sweat began to appear on Xu Han's forehead, and the scene on his face became even more ferocious. It was as if he was about to break through Xu Han's cortex. He continuously seized the power of the emperor from the depths of the world, and the darkness in his eyes grew darker with the influx of this power, like a bottomless abyss.

Over time, Xu Han's consciousness gradually blurred. He knew that this was the power of the emperor and the consciousness left behind in that person's soul, fighting with him for ownership of this body. Although that person's divine soul possessed the ability to control the power of an emperor, he had long since been killed by the ghost millet. All that remained was his instinct to survive. Once his mind was devoured by this divine soul, his fate would not be much better than being devoured by an emperor.

Xu Han gritted his teeth and endured the discomfort coming from his body. He continued to urge the power in the depths of the world into his body, and at the same time, he urged it to surge towards the dome.

In the blink of an eye, more than two hours had passed. The aura around Xu Han became even more majestic, but his entire body was covered in wet sweat. Even under his pores, streams of dripping blood began to seep out. Streams of black gas gushed out from his body linked his body to this world like spider silk.

His face was filled with pain, and waves of great pain seemed to be coming from all over his body that was about to tear him apart. With a calm expression, he relied on his last breath and roared in a hoarse voice, "Close!"

As soon as this sound faded, the black aura surging in all parts of the world instantly surged. They gradually condensed at the cracks, like frozen water, turning into substance, sealing the gaps left behind in the battle one after another.

..

Hu!

Hu!

After finishing all of this, Xu Han gasped heavily and shook his head continuously, as if he wanted to keep himself clear so as to resist the other two wills that were constantly roaring in his body.

It's not over yet, Although he had repaired the cracks in this world, But this world was still under Ghost Valley's gaze, However, it was impossible for him to keep saying that the divine soul was in his body. Therefore, he had to expel the divine soul before it devoured his will. Before he could expel the divine soul, he had to do one more thing to ensure that the world would be far from Ghost Valley's line of sight for some time to come.

Thinking of this, Xu Han gritted his teeth again. He couldn't care less about the blood oozing out of the corner of his mouth. At that moment, he held his hand in the air. At this moment, the corpse of the apostle who had landed on the peak of the Great Abyss Mountain, Gui Gu Zi, was suddenly pulled by Xu Han. His body rose out of thin air and instantly flew to the dome where Xu Han was.

Black light shone brightly in Xu Han's eyes. Streams of black gas poured into the corpse. The corpse began to strangely decompose under the envelope of the black gas. Something was pulled out by Xu Han along with this decomposition.

That was the origin power of the Ghost Valley's bloodline.

Gui Guzi's bloodline was already skilled in deducing Heaven and Earth techniques, and this method of concealing Heaven's Secrets was even more flawless. Back then, Gui Guzi's bloodline had relied on this method to dodge the pursuit of Emperors time and time again. Although this Gui Gu Zi's apostle had died at Xu Han's hands, he was still able to take on such a heavy responsibility by that old man. He must have a high status in the clan. The origin power in his body, Xu Han, and the secret technique that the emperor remembered, could temporarily obscure the aura of this world, allowing them to flee from Gui Gu Zi's sight for a short period of time.

Although this was not a long-term plan, to Xu Han, every breath of time was extremely precious.

The corpse was split apart by him, and the origin energy wrapped within it was gathering more and more in Xu Han's hands. However, Xu Han's expression became even uglier, and the blood seeping out of his body became more and more frequent.

Suddenly, Xu Han's expression changed. The two other wills in his body finally broke through Xu Han's defensive line of consciousness and surged into his divine sense. At that time, the three wills were bound together, No one wanted to let him go. Xu Han tried his best to support himself to finish this final step because he knew that although the old man from Gui Gu Zi had already left, he would definitely be monitoring this place with the other party's temperament that had lived for hundreds of thousands of years. If Xu Han fell, the other party would most likely kill a revolver and make all of Xu Han's previous efforts go to waste.

However, the struggle of his divine sense was not something that could be compared to the pain in his body. Xu Han only lasted for a few breaths of time, and the consciousness in his mind was completely chaotic. He could no longer control his body, and at that time, his black body fell straight to the ground.

Almost at the same time, Xu Han could clearly feel a divine sense coming from the heavens. This must be the Gui Gu Zi who had returned. He thought that he had discovered Xu Han's abnormality at the first possible moment. Once he confirmed Xu Han's condition, he would probably really take action to destroy this world again. Without Xu Han, there was clearly no one in this world who could stop him.

Xu Han couldn't help but feel a strong sense of unwillingness in his heart. His plan had already succeeded by more than half, but at the most critical moment, something went wrong.

Although he was thinking about this, his body did not allow him to do anything. His head became heavier and heavier, and his consciousness became more and more blurry.

When he completely fainted, he vaguely heard a loud phoenix cry from the peak of the Great Abyss Mountain.

He could also vaguely see that within the red corpse, something that was bathed in fire suddenly spread its wings and rushed towards him.

That seems..

It's a phoenix.

Before Xu Han fainted, he thought to himself.
