Chapter Forty-two Leaving

  The blade slashed directly at the Ancestral Dragon, absorbing billions of lightning bolts to form an attack. After annihilating the Ancestral Dragon's attack, the remaining force did not decrease and directly pierced through the Ancestral Dragon's body, which was thousands of meters in size, before it could even react.

  Facing the dazzling blade, Zulong felt as if he was the only one in the entire Honghuang universe. The earth-shattering blade, in Zulong's eyes, slowly chopped towards him at an extremely slow speed. He wanted to escape but his body didn't listen to his commands, remaining still and allowing the earth-shattering blade to pierce through his massive body and slash into the void.

  Where the sword passed, a huge void about one light-year in size suddenly cracked open in the sky, and infinite power poured down from the void. The space around the void was like glass, cracking countless cracks, shining with the unique light of spatial force.

  "Ah"

  In the midst of a mournful cry, the colossal body of the Ancestral Dragon, thousands of meters in size, suddenly shattered into pieces. Countless fragments of its body floated in the void. The Ancestral Dragon had not expected Ye Qing's strike to be so overbearing. When it tried to dodge at the last moment, it was already too late. The surrounding space was completely sealed off by the spatial lock brought about by this knife, making escape impossible. Moreover, this knife even carried the power of time.

  Between heaven and earth, all the great masters were shocked by this tyrannical knife, their eyes wide with amazement. No one spoke, they just stared blankly at the massive void that was slowly healing at an extremely slow speed.

  Ye Qing was also shocked by his own knife, although he knew that the move he had come up with was extremely abnormal, but still didn't expect its power to be so great, it had already far exceeded his imagination, and this was still the weakest of the three moves, let alone the two behind. Ye Qing was already imagining the power of those two moves.

  Moreover, Ye Qing discovered that this one knife even cut through the void's barrier, directly opening a huge passage between the dark space and the Honghuang universe. This was just like how Ye Qing could communicate with the dark void using the Da Wuxing Jue Ming Great Array in the Honghuang universe. As for what exactly was the reason behind this, Ye Qing still didn't understand. Of course, this knife was also extremely unexpected, and it could be said that Ye Qing had stumbled upon a one-in-a-billion chance.

  In the dark void, endless energy frantically surged into the Honghuang universe. The violent and pure power was quickly assimilated under the laws of the Honghuang universe, becoming extremely docile. This energy, which was only slightly inferior to the chaotic energy, was easily absorbed by the gods. The heavily injured Ancestral Dragon, whose primordial spirit was almost dispersed, slowly recovered under this pure energy. After the Ancestral Dragon's injuries had improved somewhat, as everyone watched in shock at the energy surging out of the void once again, the Ancestral Dragon quickly reassembled its body and burned its vital blood to cast the secret technique of the dragon tribe. Taking advantage of Ye Qing's distraction, it swiftly escaped from the scene.

  Ye Qing noticed the Ancestral Dragon when it was burning its vital energy to cast a secret technique of the dragon tribe. What surprised Ye Qing even more was that the Ancestral Dragon didn't die under his powerful and unparalleled slash, this brief delay allowed the Ancestral Dragon to escape, it can be said that the Ancestral Dragon's luck wasn't bad at all.

  The Ancestral Dragon did not die under the tyrannical knife, it can be said that he was lucky. The Ancestral Dragon used his congenital top-grade spiritual treasure, the Ancestral Dragon Pearl, to withstand this knife in the end. Even so, the Ancestral Dragon's primordial spirit suffered severe injuries, and the top-grade congenital spiritual treasure was severely damaged under this knife. Later, even if it recovered, it would not have its current power.

  Although Zu Long's escape made Ye Qing feel a little regretful, Ye Qing didn't take it to heart. After this battle, if Zu Long doesn't have any unexpected encounters, it will take at least tens of billions of years for him to recover his current strength. However, by that time, one's own cultivation will definitely far surpass his, and he can be easily destroyed then.

  The onlookers did not expect that Ye Qing had become so powerful! One knife's momentum almost killed the top strongman in Hongyuan, Zulong, and even made Zulong put down his pride and escape.

  However, today's on-site masters unexpectedly didn't mock Zulong. If you put yourself in his shoes and think about it, even if you faced all this, you wouldn't be any better off than Zulong, and might even be worse off than him.

  Think of the momentum of that one knife, at that moment all the great masters lost their ability to think, and in their minds there was only that overbearing and unparalleled knife, which almost split the entire sky in two. At this moment, all the great masters thought that the strongest person in the Honghuang universe was the somewhat indifferent man in front of them.

  Even Lu Rou and Hong Jun, these strong men, couldn't help but admit that they were no match for the man in front of them. It was difficult for Lu Rou and Hong Jun to admit that they were inferior to others due to their pride, but today, Ye Qing's overbearing and unparalleled swordsmanship made them have to admit that they were inferior to him.

  Watching the Ancestral Dragon escape, Ye Qing also lost interest in staying any longer. He swept a glance at the surrounding powerful beings who were watching the battle, and discovered several figures from later legends. There was a man with an aura of cold arrogance all over his body, and whenever he saw the mysterious aura emanating from him, Ye Qing guessed that he was Luo Hou, the famous figure from later generations. When Ye Qing looked at him, Luo Hou also nodded slightly in his direction. Ye Qing could clearly see the burning desire for battle in his eyes. However, Luo Hou also knew that it wasn't suitable to fight under these circumstances, so after nodding at Ye Qing, he left.

  Ye Qing also saw a Taoist wearing a purple robe, followed by three Taoists of different ages. The three had an air about them that Ye Qing seemed to recognize. From their cultivation, Ye Qing knew that the one in the purple robe was none other than Hong Jun, the future founder of the Taoist sect. However, Hong Jun gave Ye Qing a bad feeling, and he sensed that Hong Jun was not as simple as he appeared on the surface.

  Ye Qing also found the legendary Yang Mei and others who were said to have achieved enlightenment even earlier than Hong Jun. Ye Qing scanned the crowd, committing their cultivation levels and appearances to memory. Among them, several had similar cultivation levels to Luo Yu and Hong Jun, making them objects of interest for Ye Qing. With such cultivation levels, they should have become legendary in later generations. Although this Honghuang universe was not the original universe, its history was still remarkably similar. So why hadn't he heard about it?

  However, Ye Qing couldn't figure it out and didn't think about it anymore. He directly teleported to Feng Wu's side and took her away by breaking through space. When Ye Qing teleported to Feng Wu's side, Tian Feng, the patriarch of the Phoenix tribe who had been paying attention to Ye Qing, also noticed Feng Wu. Before he could call out to Feng Wu, Ye Qing had already taken her away by breaking through space, and Tian Feng opened his mouth but didn't make a sound.

  Ye Qing did not know that the several people who looked like Luohong Jun were actually the famous gods of later generations, such as Qingtian, Cangtian, and Huangtian.
