Chapter 122 Universe
Although the skinny old man was cut in half, shockingly, he did not fall down, let alone die. There was no trace of fear or despair in his eyes, but instead, he was burning with crazy flames, as if he wanted to devour the whole world.

The broken sword in his hand still stabbed at Zixia.

"The sword of man is indomitable!" The old man roared, his voice full of determination and firmness. He swung the sword again, and the peerless sword light broke through the air, faster, stronger, and sharper than any previous time. Wherever the sword light passed, the space seemed to be torn apart, and the whole small world trembled under this power and almost collapsed.

In an instant, the sword intent pointed at Zixia's heart.

Li Ruoyu stood aside, watching all this. He sighed softly and explained to Ye Fan: "Although the sword is broken, its will is still there. This is the essence of the sword of man." His eyes were solemn, ready to take action at any time in case of any accident.

Zixia's figure suddenly transformed into a towering tree, with branches and leaves like clouds, covering the sky and the sun. This was her substitute secret technique, while the real Zixia quietly reshaped her figure in a distant place, with a firm gaze like a cold star.

This giant tree, towering into the sky, is majestic and solemn. Countless gorgeous flowers bloom among its lush branches and leaves, each of which is like a flowing Tao map, quietly depicting the mysteries of the universe in the small world. This small world is stable because of the giant tree, as if it is firmly locked by an invisible force, indestructible, and the breath of the Tao permeates it, making people fascinated.

The roots of the giant tree penetrate deep into the void, silently absorbing the power of the outside world, and constantly nourishing Zixia's small world. This small world is closely connected with the giant tree, forming a perfect whole, and together they interpret the miracle of life.

The sword of man was tightly wrapped by the branches of the giant tree, sealed in this eternal painting. The sky was high and the clouds were light, the land was vast and boundless, in this small world, Zixia became the real master, her power was boundless, her magic was infinite, and she was awe-inspiring.

Being there, you can feel the breath of the giant tree, the blooming of the flowers, and the flow of the avenue. This is a world full of vitality and mystery, a legendary world belonging to Zixia.

Zixia's figure was as fast as the wind, and she approached the skinny old man swiftly. She swung the Sword of Heaven's Will several times, and each strike opened up a small world, going straight to the old man's origin and immortal platform.

"Boom!" Accompanied by a deafening roar, the old man's face changed instantly. He tried his best to break through the endless attacks, but every effort was like a drop in the ocean and had no effect.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in the old man's eyes, and a terrifying aura suddenly surged in his body, as if to freeze everything around him. He said grimly: "I don't believe you can really suppress me!"

However, as soon as the words fell, a huge wave erupted like a mountain torrent, destroying all obstacles, and the wave-like force rushed straight into the sky. Under the impact of this force, the space where the old man was instantly dimmed and was gradually swallowed by endless darkness.

Finally, the skinny figure turned into a deep black hole in the world created by Zixia. The center was as dark as ink, and terrifying waves continued to pour out of it, madly devouring everything around it. This scene was terrifying, as if even time and space were distorted and collapsed under the devouring of this black hole.

"boom!"

The ancient trees collapsed, the dead branches were in disarray, and they rushed forward together and were swallowed by the black hole. The original power of Zixia's small world was like a tsunami that broke through the dam.

"Use your strength for my own benefit, and I will break your magic!" The skinny old man sneered grimly.

At this moment, he became a black abyss that swallowed everything and could no longer be seen. He drained a lot of the original power in the small world.

The extremely terrifying fluctuations spread wildly with the black hole as the center, destroying all obstacles and even spreading beyond the small world. The young monks who were secretly watching felt an unprecedented crisis. The space around them began to collapse, and the ground under their feet was instantly shattered, as if they were in the end of the world.

However, at this critical moment, a clear voice rang out: "Stop!" Li Ruoyu's voice was like the sound of nature. Zhuofeng stabilized instantly, resisting the impact of the terrifying wave and providing a brief place of peace for the monks.

In the small world, the mountains were crushed madly, as if they had suffered a world-destroying catastrophe and were ruthlessly swallowed by black holes.

Zixia was in it, feeling an unprecedented crisis, the suction of the black hole almost dragged her into the abyss. Xia's heart was pounding, this technique was derived from the "Devouring Heaven Magic Art", although it was incomplete, it was extremely terrifying.

"Get out!" Zixia shouted, exerting her great power to force the skinny old man out of her world. The old man escaped, his momentum soared, and the black hole expanded several times, like a whirlpool of destruction. Li Ruoyu saw this and was about to help, but Zixia had already made up her mind. She quickly shrank her world, merged with the Heavenly Sword, closed her eyes, and became one with the Tao.

"Have you given up struggling?" The old man's voice echoed in the black hole. He boasted that his mysterious magic was invincible and could destroy Zixia's world. However, Zixia did not give up. When she slowly opened her eyes, the sound of mysterious chanting seemed to ring between heaven and earth.

"Kill!" Zixia cried out tenderly! Her world turned into a bright fairy light, rushing straight into the black hole.

Instantly, the black hole trembled violently, then collapsed and dissipated. The world returned to peace.
"You...actually stepped into the Eight Forbidden Areas!" The skinny old man was shocked. The black hole was cracking and slowly disintegrating.

Finally, the huge black hole disappeared, and the world became peaceful and full of vitality. Green sprouts sprouted on the destroyed mountains.

The flames on the old man's immortal platform were burning fiercely, and the blazing light was blinding, but the light only flashed for a moment and then dimmed, and his consciousness turned to ashes, without even a trace left.

"Zixia is so awesome!" Ye Fan couldn't help but cheering and was shocked by Zixia's strength.

The body on the ground had lost its vitality, as if it had been dead for a long time, full of old and ancient breath, and an indescribable evil. Ye Fan and Li Ruoyu walked closer to observe and found that the strength of this corpse was amazing, almost comparable to a magic weapon, and it made a clanging sound when they hit it.

"Who was sent to kill me?" Ye Fan fell into deep thought, trying to find out the truth behind it.

"What are the eight prohibitions?" Ye Fan turned to Li Ruoyu and asked.

"In short, the Eight Forbidden Realms mean the ability to fight across eight smaller realms." Li Ruoyu explained succinctly.

"It's not easy to cultivate to this level." Li Ruoyu sighed softly and waved his hand lightly. A ball of flame jumped out, fresh and natural.

"puff"

The corpse was submerged and turned into ashes in an instant, leaving nothing behind. Ye Fan was very surprised. The old man's cultivation level exceeded his expectations. He was probably much stronger than the Holy Lord. It was indeed a late bloomer.

The war is over.

The headmaster of Taixuan came to Li Ruoyu and said, "Junior brother! What do you need us to do?"

Li Ruoyu looked deep in his eyes and responded calmly: "Brother, don't worry. There is nothing unusual here. But I have a feeling that there will be a breakthrough soon, so Zhuofeng needs to be in seclusion for a few days. No outsiders are allowed to enter."

The headmaster nodded, showing his understanding: "Okay, let's do as you say."

At the top of Xingfeng, Hua Yunfei, dressed in blue, stood on the cliff like a banished immortal. His gaze penetrated the void, deep and complex, looking towards the direction of Zhuofeng, he sighed softly: "Zixia, you have completed the second transformation of the dragon, and your strength is on par with mine. You are really worthy of it! If fate cannot be escaped, it may be a relief to die under your sword."

At the same time, Yao Xi was still a guest at Xingfeng. She was graceful and elegant, with an inexplicable gleam in her eyes. She seemed to be thinking about something, and her expression was unpredictable.

Zixia stood alone, holding "Heaven's Will" in her hand, with a trace of distress in her eyes. She gently stroked the blade and murmured to herself: "Although the name 'Heaven's Will' is good, I always feel that it doesn't suit you. Otherwise, how about calling you 'Universe'?"
