Chapter 243 Taiyi Na Tiansha

“Yunshui Heavenly Palace, Turtle Snake Taiyi…”

Li Fan pondered for a moment, a plan forming in his mind.

Of course, he couldn't personally risk going to Taiyi Hall to test the power of the Heavenly Fiend Sword.

However, with Formless Killing Intent, he didn't need to put himself in danger at all.

He used his Clone to make some arrangements outside.

Li Fan's main body, meanwhile, quietly arrived in front of Yunshui Heavenly Palace, waiting for an Opportunity.

Soon, a guide to exploring Yunshui Heavenly Palace, whose origin was unknown, spread throughout the entire Congyun Sea.

Initially, Cultivators were skeptical of the contents of this “guide.”

However, after some Cultivators personally risked their lives to test it and genuinely obtained a Cultivation Technique Legacy.

The correctness of the guide was finally verified.

Mastering the strange patterns meant that casualties could almost be avoided.

Thus, Yunshui Heavenly Palace, which had always attracted Cultivators to explore, became even livelier.

Not only some desperate Loose Cultivators, but even members of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, who usually prioritized caution and self-preservation, couldn't resist the temptation after obtaining the “clearance answers.”

They flocked to Yunshui Heavenly Palace to explore, hoping to find their own Opportunity.

Li Fan, who had been waiting for a long time, selected those with excellent Luck and locked onto them with Formless Killing Intent.

He used them as his own eyes to investigate the mysteries of the Heavenly Fiend Sword.

Because at the end of the guide, it clearly explained how to approach Taiyi Hall and awaken the Guishe Monster.

However, it did not mention the Opportunity that could be obtained at Taiyi Hall.

As the saying goes, 'having achieved one's goal, one still looks for more.'

According to normal thinking, the deeper one went into Yunshui Heavenly Palace, the more valuable the Opportunity one would surely obtain.

Among so many explorers, there were naturally no lack of brave individuals full of exploratory spirit.

Thus, under Li Fan's gaze.

Nearly a dozen people, after gaining benefits from various parts of Yunshui Heavenly Palace, still unsatisfied, advanced towards Taiyi Hall.

They arrived in front of the Sword Forest.

The pain of swords piercing their hearts, though terrifying.

However, thinking of the treasures within reach ahead, the pain involuntarily lessened significantly.

The group gritted their teeth and endured the severe pain, almost collapsing, as they arrived at the square in front of Taiyi Hall.

They all shouted loudly according to the guide.

“The one hundred sixty-seventh generation Disciple of Yunshui Heavenly Palace, seeks an audience with Ancestral Master Taiyi!”

“Ancestral Master Taiyi, please come out and meet us!”

The shouts echoed throughout the hall.

“Boom!”

The earth trembled, and Taiyi Hall rose into the air.

Amidst the Cultivators' fear and anticipation, the Guishe Monster truly appeared.

It looked at the crowd before it with some confusion, taking a long time to react.

However, there were a few more agile Cultivators.

They activated the Legacy Cultivation Technique they had obtained from Yunshui Heavenly Palace, proving their identity.

The others immediately understood and quickly followed suit.

For a moment, on the square, various lights from different Cultivation Techniques continuously shone, reflecting on Taiyi's body.

“You all…”

The slow-witted Guishe Monster finally came to its senses.

“Are all Disciples of my Yunshui Heavenly Palace?”

Its gaze swept over, confirming each one.

Looking at the Cultivators with varying expressions before it, its cloudy eyes were filled with both sorrow and joy.

“Our Yunshui Heavenly Palace hasn't been this lively in a long time.”

“Ever since…”

“Wait, I seem to have forgotten something important.”

The Guishe's tone changed, and its eyes suddenly became confused.

Then, as if remembering something, its expression drastically changed.

The square trembled, and Taiyi Hall shook violently.

The Guishe Monster's massive body, for some unknown reason, began to tremble uncontrollably.

“Children…”

It roared with a trembling voice, struggling.

“Run!”

In front of Taiyi Hall, the Cultivators, who had been full of anticipation, were now all stunned.

They all thought they had misheard.

“What does it mean to tell us to run?”

The crowd exchanged glances, unable to understand.

But as the trembling of the earth became more and more obvious, more and more violent.

The crowd finally sensed that something was wrong.

“Run!”

Turtle Snake Taiyi's desperate voice rang out again.

With its cry, a faint blue light began to appear on the bodies of the Cultivators.

It was the same method as before, capable of instantly teleporting Cultivators out of Yunshui Heavenly Palace.

However, just as the blue light was about to form.

A broken sword, entirely black and radiating Evil Qi, suddenly appeared.

This time, it did not summon countless sword phantoms to pierce the Guishe Monster.

Instead, it seemed as if it wanted to break free from within Taiyi's body.

Amidst harsh, grating sounds.

Taiyi let out a painful wail.

The teleportation blue light's casting was immediately interrupted.

“Buzz!”

The broken Heavenly Fiend Sword body was about to completely break free from Taiyi.

“No!”

The Guishe Monster roared, and its body suddenly sank downwards.

An endless suction force seemed to be generated within its body.

The sword body was then absorbed back into its body, inch by inch.

This action by Turtle Snake Taiyi seemed to enrage the Heavenly Fiend Sword body.

Countless sword shadows rained down.

Ruthlessly piercing Taiyi's body.

Taiyi let out a painful howl, but it refused to let go.

From the Heavenly Fiend Sword body revealing its true form.

To the Guishe using its body as a Dao Sword sheath to prevent the Heavenly Fiend Sword from wreaking havoc.

It all happened in a flash.

Amidst Taiyi's mournful cries, the Cultivators on the square finally woke up as if from a dream.

With fear on their faces, they wanted to flee far away.

However, the Sword Forest was ahead, and it had been extremely difficult to pass through on the way in.

How could they easily escape now?

When the crowd had only just passed halfway through the Sword Forest, the Heavenly Fiend Sword finally completely broke free from within Taiyi.

“Buzz!”

The sound of the sword ringing out again.

As if disdaining to act personally, the tip of the Heavenly Fiend Sword did not point at the fleeing Cultivators.

Instead, it pointed remotely towards a certain area behind Taiyi Hall.

The sound of the sword ringing spread out.

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

…

The Cultivators who were fleeing had their heads explode like watermelons.

Their headless bodies continued to strangely rush forward, only falling to the ground after running a long distance.

At the same time, Li Fan instantly lost sight of the area in front of Taiyi Hall.

He could only vaguely see through the perspectives of Cultivators exploring in other areas.

Just as the pitch-black Heavenly Fiend Sword was rampaging, a giant blue hand suddenly appeared behind Taiyi Hall.

It firmly grasped the sword body.

Then it fiercely reinserted it into Turtle Snake Taiyi's body.

A harsh grinding sound immediately spread throughout the entire Yunshui Heavenly Palace.

At this moment, all the Cultivators exploring within the Heavenly Palace let out a muffled groan, suffering injuries of varying degrees.

All of them showed expressions of horror.

Accompanying the unpleasant sound, like a whetstone grinding, was the extremely tragic wailing of Turtle Snake Taiyi.

“Vast Sea…”

The sound was like muffled thunder, rumbling throughout.

In the Guishe's painful voice, there seemed to be a sigh, and a sense of relief.

But there was no resentment whatsoever.

The Heavenly Fiend Sword regained control, and the sky full of sword shadows gradually disappeared.

Amidst the roar, Taiyi Hall descended again, and Turtle Snake Taiyi fell back into slumber.

Everything returned to calm.

And that giant blue hand, however, slowly became completely black, just like the Heavenly Fiend Sword.
