NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 27 - Enmities Severed, Houtu Ascends Mount Buzhou!
Chapter 27: Enmities Severed, Houtu Ascends Mount Buzhou!
At this moment, the Heavenly Lord swung his sword down, the sharp sword energy cutting through and causing a terrifying roar!
Rumble!
The sky for millions of miles seemed split by this sword.
The vast primordial land appeared to tremble!
“What formidable sword energy… unbeatable!”
“That’s a fearsome quasi-saint sword cultivator!”
In an instant, countless primordial beings in the Primordial World, including Emperor Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, Nuwa, Fuxi, Kunpeng, and many other powerful beings, all sensed the disturbance.
Countless eyes turned toward the scene. However, on that desolate plain, the mighty quasi-saint power and the sword energy raged, making it impossible for them to see what had occurred.
Shortly after, a resounding voice echoed through the vast heavens: “From this day forward, I, the Heavenly Lord of the Upper Clear Heaven, sever all ties with Laozi of the Great Clear Heaven and Yuanshi of the Jade Clear Heaven!”
Rumble…
With these words, the entire prehistoric world was shaken. Countless beings knew it, and many of them showed expressions of astonishment.
The Three Pure Ones… had they really split?
Even though they didn’t understand what had happened, it was clear from Heavenly Lord’s words that his heart seemed devoid of emotion. Moreover, his resolve was unwavering. The Heavenly Lord wanted to sever all connections with Laozi and Yuanshi, and he did so with a strong resolve.
However, Laozi and Yuanshi, the prominent Pangu sect, refused to compromise. They had significant pride, and as older brothers, they were unwilling to admit defeat to the Heavenly Lord.
In their view, the Heavenly Lord’s actions deliberately insulted them. But in the Heavenly Lord’s perspective, he only sought to wield his sword and cut all the bonds of friendship and enmity. His sword heart gained enlightenment, and he realized that he had unknowingly grasped the second sword of creation, the Sword of Creation.
Under the power of this sharp sword, he cut through the river of ancient times, annihilating countless multidimensional spaces. Laozi and Yuanshi channeled their powers into the Heavenly Primordial Linglong Pagoda to defend against the attack.
The mysterious yellow aura, thick and intricate, created a towering barrier that seemed impervious. However, when the Heavenly Lord’s sword struck, the mysterious yellow aura was no match and shattered.
Laozi and Yuanshi displayed shock on their faces as the sword’s energy tore their robes. They looked disheveled and greatly embarrassed.
Immersed in the sword energy, their bodies trembled, blood gushed from their mouths, and their life force was instantly extinguished. Under the onslaught of the myriad sword energies, the great thousand worlds within them collapsed, countless stars fell, and their life force and vitality were in turmoil.
Even the power of their Grand Luo Dao Fruit was in disarray!
In such a state of existence, it turned out to be the same as the scene when they were crushed by Ye Xiu’s sword when they were in Buzhou Mountain in the past!
Heavenly Lord’s sword, though far less powerful than Ye Xiu’s, was still far beyond their abilities. At this moment, Laozi and Yuanshi hardly had the will to fight!
A quasi-saint sword cultivator…
Terrifying beyond measure!
“The karma of the world of mortals has been severed… From now on, there are no more Three Cleanses, only the sword cultivator the Heavenly Lord!”
Heavenly Lord’s eyes were filled with a touch of desolation and sorrow. He gradually withdrew the sword energy around him, and his heart became as calm as still water.
That one sword was too terrifying, its sharpness unstoppable. Laozi and Yuanshi’s primordial spirits would have been completely obliterated if they had truly fallen. Things had reached this point, and the one who felt the most sorrow was Heavenly Lord. But he was also pushed to this point by Laozi and Yuanshi.
With these words, the Heavenly Lord didn’t want to linger any longer. He turned to Houtu and said, “Fellow Houtu, if you believe in my master’s words, you are welcome to return to Buzhou Mountain with me and seek your path from our revered master.”
…
He observed Houtu standing stunned at a distance for quite some time, seemingly lost in thought and still deeply affected by the astonishing display of swordsmanship moments earlier. This might have raised some doubts within her in the past, but she was filled with anticipation and optimism regarding the enigmatic and formidable figure on Mount Buzhou.
Was it conceivable that an ordinary individual could achieve the level of sword mastery displayed by the Heavenly Lord?
Perhaps the being residing on Mount Buzhou truly possesses the path she has been seeking. And so, without any hesitation, Houtu’s graceful and otherworldly form gracefully ascended towards the Heavenly Lord, joining him on the journey to Mount Buzhou.
On the desolate plain, calm gradually returned.
Watching the departures of Heavenly Lord and Houtu, Laozi fell into a long silence before saying, “Heavenly Lord is stronger than us, if only for a while… In the future, we will also become quasi-saints.”
Yuanshi’s eyes were filled with anger. He nodded heavily and said, “Today’s humiliation… In the future, when I achieve quasi-sainthood, I will repay it to the Heavenly Lord.”
From the perspective of Laozi and Yuanshi, the true path was in the hands of Hongjun. As long as they devoted themselves to practice under Hongjun, they were confident they could surpass the Heavenly Lord in the future. The humiliation suffered today will surely be reclaimed in the future.
The Heavenly Lord was unaware of Laozi and Yuanshi’s thoughts and didn’t bother to pay them any attention.
…
Shortly after, the Heavenly Lord took Houtu and ascended Buzhou Mountain. At that moment, Ye Xiu had a feeling and learned that the Heavenly Lord had brought a female cultivator up the mountain. He couldn’t help but be slightly surprised, “Is it Ancestral Witch Houtu…”
