I Have A Sword-Chapter 1307: No Deliverance

The moment Ye Guan was sent to the other shore by Tian Chen, Clan Leader Jing closed her eyes.

Immediately afterward, the mysterious Dao within the Sea of Suffering retaliated. Facing this terrifying counterattack, Clan Leader Jing didn't resist, so she was suppressed, becoming a stone statue.

Fan Zhaodi walked up to her and stared at her. Fan Zhaodi was silent for a long while before calmly asking, "Was this really necessary?"

With that, she continued walking toward the Sea of Suffering.

Having become the strongest existence in the Ten Tiers of Civilizations, she was not afraid of the Sea of Suffering. The instant she stepped into the water, the Sea of Suffering churned, and a mysterious force rushed out of its depths, flying toward Fan Zhaodi.

Fan Zhaodi was forced back a step, returning to the shore.

Fan Zhaodi's delicate brows furrowed slightly. She took another step forward.

The moment her foot touched the Sea of Suffering again, an endless sea of blood pervaded the waters. Soon, another wave of mysterious force erupted, repelling the blood sea.

Once again, Fan Zhaodi was pushed back to shore.

This time, she was surprised. She examined the vast blood sea before crouching down and lightly dipping her finger into the water. After a moment, she chuckled. "Hahaha, so that's how it is... I can see it now..."

With that, she clenched her right hand. A terrifying wave of Evil Dao energy converged on her. The immense power of her evil intent suppressed the mysterious Dao within the Sea of Suffering.

The turbulent waters trembled under her overwhelming might.

Just then, she sensed something and turned toward the opposite shore.

Someone was dragging Ye Guan away.

Fan Zhaodi frowned deeply. After thinking for a moment, she withdrew her right hand, and the Sea of Suffering became calm once more. The evil aura and the sea of blood gradually faded away.

The Sea of Suffering was calm once more, but deep within, a powerful presence was awake, seemingly wary of Fan Zhaodi.

Fan Zhaodi cast one final glance at the other shore, but she turned around and left instead of forcing her way in.

She had more important matters to attend to.

With just a single step, she arrived at the Milky Way.

The Great Daoist Brush Master was sitting on the stone steps of Mount Fanjing. He was gazing at the sky.

The skies were clear and blue.

The Ancestral Dao had sacrificed a myriad living beings. Apart from the Guanxuan Universe, the True Universe, and the Heavenly Tomb Empire, which were under Ye Guan's protection, every other civilization had been destroyed.

Yet, the Milky Way remained untouched.

It was still a "pure" land, after all.

Just then, Fan Zhaodi appeared next to the Great Daoist Brush Master.

The Great Daoist Brush Master glanced at the crimson-robed lady and smiled.

"So you've reached the Life Extinction Realm. Congratulations."

Fan Zhaodi remained expressionless. "I have a question."

"Let me guess." The Great Daoist Brush Master chuckled. "The Sea of Suffering?"

Fan Zhaodi nodded.

The Great Daoist Brush Master smiled but said nothing.

Fan Zhaodi was silent as well. Instead of urging the Great Daoist Brush Master, she turned around to leave.

"Wait." The Great Daoist Brush Master suddenly called out.

Fan Zhaodi stopped in her tracks.

"If I told you that this place is a prison, would you believe me?" asked the Great Daoist Brush Master

Fan Zhaodi stared deeply at the Great Daoist Brush Master. "If that were true, I'd say it became a prison because you did something wicked."

"Hahaha!" The Great Daoist Brush Master laughed heartily.

"You know why I'm here," Fan Zhaodi remarked.

The Great Daoist Brush Master's smile faded. He gazed into the depths of the cosmos for a long time before murmuring, "It's time to close the net on this game of chess."

Moments later, Fan Zhaodi vanished into the starry skies.

No one knew their schemes.

***

Fan Zhaodi was staring at an orange planet.

"I've come to fulfill my promise," she said.

"There is no rush," replied a mysterious voice.

Fan Zhaodi furrowed slightly but said nothing. Turning around, she disappeared once again. freewebnσvel.cøm

Soon, she arrived before an ancient hall—the Evil Dao Hall.

She closed her eyes and opened her right palm. In an instant, countless mysterious energies gathered on her palm before transforming into a vortex of mysterious energies.

The Dao of Reincarnation.

Countless fragments of souls emerged from the vortex. Before long, an illusory figure manifested. The figure belonged to none other than Qiu Baiyi, the Second Hall Master of the Evil Dao Alliance!

And he was not alone...

One by one, the souls of the fallen powerhouses of the Evil Dao Alliance reappeared.

Forced resurrection!

Having become the strongest expert in the Ten Tiers of Universe Civilizations, Fan Zhaodi had control over life and death.

Soon, Qiu Baiyi's soul was fully restored.

At first, he was in a daze. When he saw Fan Zhaodi, his face immediately lit up with joy.

"Boss...!"

Qiu Baiyi stepped out of the vortex.

As soon as he did, a strange sword light flickered between his brows.

Boom!

Qiu Baiyi was erased once more.

Fan Zhaodi's expression remained as calm as still water. There wasn't even a flicker of emotion in her eyes.

The strange sword light clearly belonged to the lady in the plain skirt.

However, the lady in the plain skirt wasn't here. In other words, the attack that had killed Qiu Baiyi was the same attack that had killed him the first time around. He was slain by the plain-skirt lady, and there was no deliverance from her!

There was no escaping! Not even after billions of years!

He was alive one moment and dead the next!

Fan Zhaodi was silent for a long time. Then, she opened her palm and swept the air. Countless soul fragments appeared. These fragments carried profound karmic ties to reincarnation, incredibly powerful ones.

She attempted to gather them, but it was extremely difficult. To make matters worse, the soul fragments were trembling violently, seemingly about to shatter.

Fan Zhaodi's face finally changed.

Just then, a mysterious force descended from the heavens.

All the soul fragments rapidly fused into a single illusory figure.

It was the soul of the Grand Zen Monastery Master!

Fan Zhaodi glanced into the depths of the vast expanse and said, "Thank you."

There was no response.

The Grand Zen Monastery Master looked around blankly before staring at Fan Zhaodi. He placed his palms together and said, "Congratulations, Hall Master Fan."

He had once made a deal with the Nine Continents Master. The deal was to help Fan Zhaodi eradicate the Ancestral Dao. That was why he had agreed to it. The Ancestral Dao was truly evil and had to be destroyed.

Fan Zhaodi stared at the old Abbot and said, "From now on, you may establish temples and take disciples anywhere. Your disciple Wu Dao will be free of any karmic ties to the Milky Way lace."

The Grand Zen Monastery Master was moved. He bowed again and said, "Thank you, Hall Master Fan."

Just then, the Nine Continents Master suddenly appeared. He gave a slight bow and said, "Master Fan."

He had pledged allegiance to Fan Zhaodi, not to the Ancestral Dao.

Why?

It was simple. Serving the Ancestral Dao would never allow him to break through his own limits and reach new heights. Thus, his true faith had always been in Fan Zhaodi.

The Ancestral Dao was dead, so he could take another step forward. Of course, that step depended entirely on the will of the woman before him.

Fan Zhaodi closed her eyes and said, "I will not impose any restrictions. From this moment on, any living being can cultivate the Dao in this universe. They can establish their Dao and sacrifice all beings as well if they are capable enough."

The Nine Continents Master and the Grand Zen Monastery Master both breathed a sigh of relief. They bowed deeply to Fan Zhaodi and said, "Thank you, Master Fan!"

From this moment on, this universe would be without any Order!

"From now on, you will govern this universe," said Fan Zhaodi.

The Nine Continents Master was stunned.

Fan Zhaodi raised her head, gazing into the depths of the starry skies. Her eyes locked onto the Sea of Suffering as she thought, The battle for the Great Dao... is far from over...

With that, she vanished without a trace.

***

Inside the world within the tiny pagoda, Tian Xing was holding a letter in his hand.

The letter was from Tian Chen.

Big Brother, if you're reading this letter, it means I've already departed for an adventure. I've thought about this for a long, long time, and I realized that I'm really not suited to be the emperor. Why?

Because I absolutely hate being constrained, and I hate dealing with all the messy affairs of the empire... It's really annoying! So, after thinking it over, I believe you'd be much better at the job compared to me.

I truly believe that you're a better emperor.

As for me, my initial plan was to go somewhere to train myself. However, I'm sure you know that Brother Ye is in a fight, so I've decided to go there and take a look. Who knows? Maybe I can help him out.

If his opponent is too strong, I'll run! I still want to live some more.

After a long time, Tian Xing put away the letter. The Imperial Jade was inside the envelope. He sat silently on the stone steps for a long time, and it was all because Tian Chen's soul tablet had shattered just a while ago.

Upon becoming an emperor, one's soul tablet would be placed in the ancestral hall. If something untoward ended up happening to the emperor, the people would know.

A shattered soul tablet could mean only one thing...

Tian Xing took a deep breath and stood up. Then, he started walking toward a grand hall.

Consort Qin was sitting inside the grand hall. She was not wearing her usual palace attire today, just a simple plain robe. Tian Chen's shattered soul tablet was in her hands, and she was silently staring at it.

Tian Xing muttered, "Auntie..."

Consort Qin replied in a quiet voice, "I'm fine... I just want some peace and quiet. You should leave."

Tian Xing hesitated for a moment before nodding and leaving.

The moment he left, Consort Qin stroked the shattered soul tablet as tears cascaded down her cheeks. "You... have never been obedient since you were young. You've only ever thought about your brothers...

"Have you ever thought about your mother at all?"

Outside the grand hall, Tian Xing realized something and hastily turned around.

When he entered the hall again, he froze.

Consort Qin's eyes were closed, and her hands were folded over her chest.

She was devoid of any life and was no longer breathing.
