Remould the Glory of Sword Art

And she, along with Jiang Qihu, had now completely become mere spectators.

Even her most prized "Sky-reaching Vine" dharma form could only struggle to keep them safe amidst the Thunder Technique.

Amidst countless thunderclaps.

The two figures, clinging together, suddenly separated after delivering a fiercely powerful palm strike against each other.

Tang Fengshu landed back on the mast, took a deep breath, and calmed her chaotic Heart Lake.

The originally spotless blue robe was now stained with some fresh blood... most of which belonged to You Hai King.

On the other side.

The appearance of You Hai King, however, was much more disheveled; after the palm exchange, he retreated nearly a hundred meters, having exited the vicinity of the Hullbreaker, and only managed to stabilize himself at the forehead of the huge Water-shielding Qilin Dharma Form.

His wide python robe fluttered in the wind, torn in several places.

The whole person was disheveled, with cheeks and tears in the clothing showing numerous crimson bloodstains.

The stronger and weaker were obvious at a glance.

Chu Lin was very strong.

But Tang Fengshu, the new Pavilion Master of Taoist World Pavilion, was still a bit stronger.

However.

There was not a trace of joy on Tang Fengshu's face.

The two fought, showing strengths and weaknesses, but it was hard to determine life or death.

Great Practitioners of the Yin God Realm had already transcended the mundane.

Practitioners like Chu Lin, if intent solely on self-preservation, were hard to kill on the spot, even with immense divine skills.

"The Thunder Technique of the Taoists is indeed remarkable,"

You Hai King extended the back of his hand, wiped the corner of his lips, and whispered with a soft laugh, "But I fear it's still not enough to kill me."

Behind You Hai King.

Lichao City was teetering on the brink of final collapse.

According to the original plan, the Tide Sacrificial Array should have already engulfed this ancient city—

Chu Lin should have also already faced his own Yang God promotion ceremony.

But unexpectedly.

Among the numerous Array Pattern Masters stationed in Lichao City, there was one "great talent" who hastily forged a fiercely powerful fire array.

This grand array, ingeniously conceived, sprang up extending from the Prolonging Spring Array, using the spirits of the vegetation along the Carp Tide River shores, which could not resist the great tide, as nourishment!

Since ancient times, fire and water have been incompatible!

Water can extinguish fire, yet fire can also burn through rivers!

This sudden fire array, solely through burning the tide of the North Sea, pushed back the time of the Tide Sacrifice considerably!

Still, relying merely on such a fire array to contend against the Sun God ritual arts of the Demon Country was too naive...

What must come will still arrive.

The sky was ablaze with fire, near extinction.

The great wave raised by the Qilin Dharma was now reaching Lichao City.

This time.

The Tide Sacrifice was about to officially begin.

Chu Lin, looking back at the ancient city behind him, slowly exhaled a breath, "Tang Pavilion Master, it seems that relying solely on your power, to kill me is still far from sufficient."

Tang Fengshu remained silent.

"If the Great Dao Library had foreseen this scene,"

You Hai King lowered his eyelids, smiling mockingly, "then Chen Jingxuan should have come with you... to kill me, at least two are needed."

"You are right,"

Tang Fengshu sighed softly, then responded, "Who told you Chen Jingxuan isn't here?"

With just one sentence, the smile on You Hai King's face suddenly solidified.

Tang Fengshu raised her head.

She looked up at the swirling stormy sky, expressionless, and said, "Mr. Chen, have you figured it out? Where exactly is the destiny you seek?"

Chu Lin frowned.

Miles away in the Imperial City.

Inside the Great Dao Library, there are now millions of invisible gold threads densely interwoven.

Each one of these has a name.

And they can all be called "destiny."

A slender figure stood amidst countless gold threads.

In just a few days, Chen Jingxuan's temples had added a touch of grey. He walked haltingly and finally stopped before a very thin golden thread.

"Ah, finally found 'you'."

Chen Jingxuan's complexion was pale, but his eyes shone brightly.

At that moment, he reached out two fingers and gently gripped the thin golden thread.

The golden thread spanned thousands of miles.

With a boom.

The densely thunderous skies suddenly echoed with a sound like a great bell. A brilliant streak of golden light fell, hitting the mast of the Po Lue Hao and landing in the Heart Lake within Tang Fengshu.

The female Pavilion Master hesitated no longer.

She reached out two fingers, gliding them through her horsetail whisk, and then slashed down as though it were a sword's edge.

A man and a woman, miles apart, targeted the so-called "destiny" at the same time.

Chu Lin instinctively rode the Water-shielding Qilin in a swift retreat—

But he realized that the combination of terrifying golden light and silver brilliance was not aimed at "himself".

It was aimed at the Carp Tide River.

It was an extremely precise strike, pinpoint precision.

This sliver of heavenly light, like a falling sword, pierced through thousands of tons of river water, striking the Bai Ze Secret Tomb and then shattering layers of array patterns.

It finally landed in front of the main hall of the Taoist furnace.

Dao Jiu looked shocked as he watched the unreasonable golden light shatter the sky dome, falling from the sky and hitting directly the white-haired Taoist at...

The previous standing position.

"Phew, that was close..."

Lu Yuzhen put on a worried and fearful expression, then very recklessly reached out his hand, attempting to touch the brilliant golden light.

Sizzle, sizzle!

The scorching hot "golden light" instantly melted his palm!

The Taoist gritted his teeth in pain, losing all his previous esteemed demeanor, and hastily pulled back his hand, while countless white papers fluttered from his long sleeves.

"Dao Jiu, brother."

He blew on his palm and, after a moment, looked up with a smile: "The Beihai Tomb is about to sink. Have you considered it? Do you want to leave with me?"

Dao Jiu did not respond immediately.

His gaze was fixed on the direction where the golden light fell.

The interior of Beihai Tomb was overlapping and shifting; many regions were not on the same plane.

But one thing did not change, and that was the focal point of the array.

All major formations of Beihai Tomb operated around this focal point!

And at this moment, this golden thread that pierced through the Beihai Tomb...

Seemed to have hit something.

Apparently, it was the focal point.

An intense booming sound exploded from the seabed!

"Bang—"

Dao Jiu thought he had heard wrong, feeling that the sound was like the furious roar of some being.

"What's happening outside? Why is Beihai Tomb sinking?"

Dao Jiu lifted his head and asked the most perplexing question.

"A reckless young man who also defies death... shattered the focal point of Beihai Tomb."

Lu Yuzhen looked up at the sky from where the golden light was descending and remarked, "Once the focal point shatters, the Secret Tomb naturally falls. Next, just shatter the 'Seeking Tao Domain', and the entire Northern Sea tide will reverse... Indeed, it's a good way to break the 'Tide Sacrifice' ritual. But how many lifespans would one need to think of such a plot?"

The focal point shattered, the Secret Tomb descended?

Dao Jiu panicked: "What about Xie Zhen, what about him?"

"You really care about him, huh? It seems I really shouldn't have come here."

After hearing this, Lu Yuzhen put on a sad and upset look, then quickly reassured with a smile: "Don't worry, he won't die. That kid's life is tougher than anyone else in the world."

A pause.

Lu Yuzhen looked down at the Secret Tomb where the golden thread had disappeared.

He muttered: "Mr. Xie is just waiting for Chen Jingxuan's 'destiny'."

(PS: After much consideration, I'll say something about "Lu Yuzhen" as a character. As the author, unless it's absolutely necessary, I really don't want to explain my writing thoughts, foreshadowing, or motives. For this book, I'll say it in advance... Please have some faith in my character development, dear new readers.

Every important character that runs throughout the entire text has an extremely elaborate and important setting. Such characters, everything they do is deeply considered and deliberated by me. The relationship between Lu Yuzhen and Great Dao pen, actually, from Dao Jiu's perspective, is sufficient to infer. As for why he saved Chu Man, it will also be gradually revealed later.

Lord Lu, this person, and all his actions, were actually foreshadowed from the very beginning.)
