Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 5574  Long Yi Is No Match

But she was still just a newly ascended supreme-peak!

It was the power of the Spirit of Grass and Wood that unleashed her life force, propelling her to the supreme-peak she had now attained. Surprisingly, she could now harm Long Yi and even dominate him.

Long Yi's defense was terrifying. It was a challenge for even a Tribulation realm expert to inflict harm upon him. Never did he expect to be wounded today, and by a young girl at that, who managed to subdue him.

Clad in red long sleeves, she enveloped Long Yi, rendering him immobile.

Jiang Shang raised her hand once again, pointing her finger. Space shattered, and the skeletal remains on the ruins began to rise.

The heavens and earth lost their color!

Long Yi, bound tightly, roared, "Imperial Guest of the Dragon!"

This was a universe's secret technique specially crafted for him by Qishen. It was by no means simple.

Boom!

The red sleeves restraining him instantly burst, and Long Yi broke free from the constraints.

After breaking free, Long Yi's face showed sembarrassment, and he said resignedly, "No wonder... no wonder Lord Zhen Ling wanted to suppress you!"

Now he understood!

Completely and thoroughly understood!

Long Yi didn't look at Jiang Shang but rather at the lingering figure behind her.

A towering ancient tree stood behind Jiang Shang.

No wonder Jiang Shang's strength was so formidable; she had an ally.

Long Yi recognized that willow tree!

That was the Divine Willow of the Forest of Eternal Secrets.

It was a true Universe Master!

The Divine Willow was originally an ordinary willow tree within the Moro Spacetime. It was later enlightened by the Qishen Temple because an important person to the Qishen had been buried beneath this willow tree.

With the assistance of the Qishen, that ordinary willow tree transformed into a spirit, creating the Forest of Eternal Secrets.

Eventually, it gained control over a universe and becthe Universe Master.

After the fall of the Qishen, the Forest of Eternal Secrets was moved to the Qishen Temple.

Later, the consciousness of the Divine Willow appeared within the forest, and this consciousness was somewhat different from the known Divine Willow. After this consciousness appeared, it revived sof the Spirits of Grass and Wood within the Forest.

This was something Zhen Ling couldn't tolerate, so a group of powerful beings was sent to clear and slaughter the Forest of Eternal Secrets. In the end, the Divine Willow appeared, and Zhen Ling must take action.

That led to a shocking battle.

Unexpectedly, the Divine Willow was still alive!

Long Yi immediately conveyed this news to Zhen Ling.

This matter was of great significance and beyond his capabilities.

In the Sea of Origin Source, Zhen Ling opened his eyes and muttered, "Hmph, I knew you weren't dead yet!"

On the chessboard, another move was made, this tlanding on the first prison.

Fuego had reached the peak.

Now, he and Frolasa were preparing to leave the first prison through a formation.

The scene finally froze on Jian Wushuang, Zhen Ling revealed a smile.

Then, a message was transmitted to Long Yi.

"Cback; you don't need to worry about this matter!"

Long Yi was a bit puzzled upon hearing this, but it was beyond his desire to handle such matters, so he retracted his aura without hesitation.

Glancing at Hu Qing, he initially thought of taking him away to help him recover her origin. However, considering Jiang Shang's watchful eyes and her assistance from the Divine Willow, he realized he didn't have the strength to take Hu Qing away.

"Little girl, although I don't know why you've received the Divine Willow's help, I advise you to sever ties with it. Otherwise, Hu Qing will never have peace!" After leaving these words, Long Yi tore through space and instantly left.

Jiang Shang naturally had no mood to chase the other party; she merely stored that sentence in her heart.

"Master will never have peace!"

Whew!

Che cautiously turned around, gazing at the towering ancient tree behind her, akin to a celestial phenomenon. She was momentarily stunned.

In the next moment, the giant tree collapsed, causing Jiang Shang's entire being to shake. Subsequently, a violent backlash ensued, and her body weakened to the extreme, plummeting from the supreme-peak realm back to the tier 6 Emperor.

The force just now did not belong to her, but the cosmic space remained intact. As long as she recovered, she would still be a supreme-peak powerhouse.

Master Hu Qing was still unconscious, but without much thought, Jiang Shang left the ruins with her comatose master.

For a while, the ruins once again fell into silence, and the black mist gradually descended.

Within the black mist, if one looked closely, a wooden boat could be seen slowly drifting. On the boat stood an old man with a conical hat, holding a dim lamp in his hand.

The dim lamp resembled the spirit-guardian's lamp in the God's Tomb, but the disparity in their strength was immense.

"Life!"

The old man on the wooden boat murmured softly, his face withered.

With just a low murmur, the boat disappeared.

No one was aware of what had happened; even Zhen Ling in the Origin Source Sea was oblivious.

As for Jiang Shang, she was now just an ordinary tier 6 Emperor, unaware of any anomaly.

All traces of life within the ruins vanished, and the supreme-peak beings from the mortal realm descended, one after another.

"Gone?"

"It seems the appearance of the third powerful figure broke the deadlock. What a pity!"

These people clearly hadn't had their fill!

After a short stay, they dispersed.

The Human Realm fell into tranquility once again.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Just as the Human Realm had calmed down, another group of powerful beings appeared, even stronger than the previous ones. However, they concealed their auras, shrouded by a beam of light, and no one noticed their presence.

"Finally, we're out!"

"We've been waiting for this day, for countless epochs!"

Appearing at this location were Shen Ling Frolasa and others, accompanied by Jian Wushuang, the avatar of Zhen Ling, and the formidable realm-crossing expert, Zhuang Zhong.

Fuego didn't have much to say; when he was suppressed, he only retained consciousness and didn't feel much.

Shen Ling, on the other hand, was different. Trapped in the First Prison for countless epochs, finally breathing the air of the Human Realm for the first time, at this moment, whatever sacrifices they had made before were all worth it.

Even the air felt exceptionally sweet!

Unfortunately, beneath them was a ruin. If they walked eastward, they would see a forest where the air was even more refreshing.

Zhen Ling, somewhat impatient, urged, "Alright, the aura of the Original Universe is even more refreshing; let's go quickly!"

Saying so, he opened a cosmic passage. Following the passage, they would reach the Original Universe.

Entering the universe, tearing through space at will, they could enter the river of tand space.

At that moment, they would truly be free.

"What about Fimisa? Don't forget about him!" Fuego reminded from the side.

At this moment, another crack appeared in space. A Daoist in a yellow robe, holding a giant egg in his hands, walked out of the crack.

The newcomer was Wu Zuo!

"Now, everyone is here!" Zhen Ling quipped on the side.

Frolasa couldn't be bothered to talk to Zhen Ling, gesturing for Fuego to take over. He turned to Jian Wushuang.

This smooth release from confinement was all thanks to Jian Wushuang.

Not only did he help the two of them recover, but he also mediated between Frolasa and Zhen Ling, facilitating their reconciliation.

Even if they couldn't take Jian Wushuang away, they had to form a deep connection.

Jian Wushuang's potential was not inferior to the Giant God Clan's. In the future, he would undoubtedly reach the realm-crossing stage and beca Universe Master. There would be opportunities to meet again in the external world.
