Chapter 586: Thousand Carp's Reversion
"This is not the place for your human race to do as you please!" Several enraged Heavenly Kings from imperial lineages took action to stop Lan Yunzhu. Although her Heaven's Will Secret Law was powerful, it couldn't break the barricade of several kings.
"Capture her alive!" The ghost race clamored when they saw her being trapped by several kings: "We'll sacrifice her as well so that the humans can know of our might!"
Many ghost experts then came to catch her. Lan Yunzhu swiftly responded with a scowl: "Hmph! You're all courting death!" A single fresh flower suddenly rose from behind her with blooming petals. Night Era Flower — day would turn into night when it blooms. Darkness swiftly encompassed the sky.
"Pluff!" Its petals bloomed completely and created a scene of carnage as the hearts of the cultivators surrounding her all exploded; their bodies quickly blew up right after as well.
Such a terrifying scene scared everyone since even the Heavenly Kings that surrounded her all had their hearts blown up.
The blossoming of the flower caused hearts to explode; anyone would be intimidated by such a scene. The ghost experts quickly retreated.
"Open!" Lan Yunzhu ignored these experts and channeled her Heaven's Will law, slashing the altar with her halo to save the mortals from the other races.
"Boom!" However, her attack couldn't slash open the altar since it was blocked by another ancestor. This ancestor took an imposing step towards her and snorted: "Thousand Carp River! My Titanic Crescent Sacred Ground will annihilate all of you. We'll start with your descendant first!"
An unstoppable imperial aura came striking down. His first move was to use an Immortal Emperor True Treasure; it was apparent that he didn't want to give her any chance at all.
How deep of a feud would it have to be to warrant an imperial ancestor killing a junior instantly with a true treasure? This was all due to Li Qiye stealing the Declivity-Mountain Bell and using the Diamond Carp to swallow three of their ancestors. It was not only a terrible loss but also a great humiliation.
Because of this, another ancestor personally came out, bringing along an emperor's true treasure. They initially wanted to find Li Qiye, but unfortunately, he had died in the path of death so they now shifted their hatred towards the Thousand Carp River and Lan Yunzhu.
An ancestor attacking with a true treasure was quite terrifying. All realms were alarmed while gods and devils prostrated before its destructive might. No one would be able to withstand such a blow. At least, that was the thought on everyone's mind regarding Lan Yunzhu's fate since not even a Virtuous Paragon would be able to escape.
Lan Yunzhu quickly took out an Immortal Emperor Life Treasure and cried out: "Samsara Cycle!" The Heaven's Will moved as a river of stars lit up. She was using her secret law to empower this life treasure.
"Splash!" A huge carp jumped out from the surface of this river of time back to the origin. Time suddenly reversed, at least, for Lan Yunzhu. Her time was being reversed back to the moment when the Titanic Crescent Ancestor appeared.
"Splash!" After another splash, Lan Yunzhu's time began to flow once more. The invincible attack from the emperor's true treasure only issued a slight noise as it didn't hit her and instead hit the spatial area where time was reversed.
Everyone was astonished and filled with disbelief at someone capable of reversing their own time by several seconds.
The ancestor's heart thumped as he saw the life treasure in her hand: "Thousand Carp's Reversion, Cyclical River of Fate! This is the reversing of time from the legends!"
The Thousand Carp's Reversion was a life treasure left behind by Immortal Emperor Qian Li. Legends spoke of them being able to use his secret law in conjunction with the life treasure to reverse time to a maximum of three minutes.
This meant that Lan Yunzhu had an extra three minutes of consideration when in precarious positions. As long as the secret law could channel the treasure, then time would go back to any second in the last three minutes.
Many were jealous at her having this emperor's weapon. There was no medicine for regret in this world, but Lan Yunzhu was different; she could fix any mistake within a short three minutes.
"Hmph! Girl, I want to see how many times you can activate that emperor's weapon." The Titanic Crescent Ancestor declared gravely.
"Boom!" A Life Wheel appeared behind Lan Yunzhu's head with boundless blood energy. It emitted a sacred light that allowed the blood energy to become inexhaustible. She arrogantly declared: "You can rest assured, my Saint Wheel will allow me to use it at least three more times. I wonder how many more times you can use your True Treasure at your old age? I'm afraid your blood energy has already started to wither."
She was a person with dual saint talents, so her Saint Wheel had already predetermined her rich blood energy that was more abundant than anyone else. If others could only use an emperor's weapon once, then she would be able to do so three to four times at the very least. This was the magical property of a Saint Wheel.
The ancestor's expression greatly changed. Lan Yunzhu was right, he was indeed old!
Even in the face of an ancestor from the sacred ground, Lan Yunzhu was still fearless as she let out a cry: "Die!" The Night Era Flower bloomed again with a pop.
The ancestor, aghast, recalled his true treasure and used an imperial law to protect his body. Despite this protection, the blossoming of the flower carried a transcendent power.
"Bang—bang—bang!" The imperial laws shook before the flower's onslaught, leaving the ancestor shocked. Luckily, the flower didn't bloom the entire way, or else it would truly be unbeatable. Anyone who came close would die to its blossoming petals.
After the attack was over, the ancestor's eyes became sharp: "Time to end this!" He wanted to unleash another true treasure attack to give her a fatal blow.
Nevertheless, Lan Yunzhu was still rushing forward with a battle cry. She had a bronze tube in her hand.
"Pluff, pluff!" Two temporal rays shot out at an undodgeable speed.
Frightened, the ancestor quickly raised his weapon again to protect his body.
"Boom!" The rays slammed into the imperial law, causing the ancestor to take two steps back.
The Reverse-time Shuttle unleashed rays of temporal attacks non-stop. Anyone who came close would suffer from this chaotic barrage and lose all their life essence while growing older.
After being struck multiple times by the shuttle, the true treasure dimmed as the ancestor was forced to retreat continuously.
Meanwhile, Lan Yunzhu didn't halt her offense and kept on firing at him. Once the shuttle shot out all of its temporal rays, the ancestor furiously roared: "I'll end you!"
He tried to attack one more time with his weapon, but then, it was time for the Night Era Flower to blossom once more. Of course, the aghast ancestor had to use his weapon for defensive measures instead.
"Pluff, pluff, pluff!" Petals began to spread, preventing the ancestor from doing anything but protect his own body.
Once the flower's attack ended, the ancestor thought that he could attack again, but he was met with another onslaught from the Reverse-time Shuttle. Temporal rays aimed for his body once more.
"Rumble!" The ancestor had to retreat even further. This situation drove him crazy to the point of vomiting blood. Lan Yunzhu's nonstop rotation of the flower and shuttle rendered him unable to counterattack.
And even if he could unleash an invincible attack, Lan Yunzhu still had her Thousand Carp's Reversion so she had three whole minutes to revise her strategy.
It could be said that Li Qiye treated her very well and gave her many things. Both the Reverse-time Shuttle and Night Era Flower made her virtually unbeatable.
At this point, the ancestor was nearly crazy because of Lan Yunzhu. He didn't have a chance to attack against the offensive rotation of the flower and shuttle.
Lan Yunzhu couldn't stop halfway now that she was riding the tiger's back, so she kept on attacking with her two treasures. If she delayed for even a second, the true treasure of the ancestor would come to kill her. At the moment, she couldn't escape, but she couldn't kill the ancestor either. Both sides had no choice but to continue this stalemate until one side could no longer handle it!
Other people couldn't get close. Even experts and Heavenly Kings didn't dare to set foot on their battlefield. Everyone saw what happened earlier with their own eyes. Anyone who entered the range of the blossoming Night Era Flower would instantly explode!
Hundreds of thousands of ghosts were both envious and jealous of Lan Yunzhu's heaven-defying methods! Such methods easily caused others to become crazed from greed. The combination of those two treasures were indeed invincible!

Such a terrifying scene scared everyone since even the Heavenly Kings that surrounded her all had their hearts blown up.
[collapse]Chapter 587: Monk Dazhi Taking Action
"Bang—bang—bang!" On the other side, the other ancestor with an invincible hammer kept on slamming down with earth-splitting power, causing Xian Fan to be pushed back despite having the protection of the elemental armor.
The armor was indeed amazing and was just as valuable as an Immortal Emperor True Treasure. Unfortunately, it specialized in defense over offense, leaving a weakness of Xian Fan’s.
"I'm not playing with you any longer!" Xian Fan furiously roared.
"Boom!" In an instant, Xian Fan's blood energy became as wild as a tidal wave. With an emperor's art, another emperor's true treasure shot up high as if an Immortal Emperor had descended to the mortal world. A huge shadow loomed over the nine heavens and looked down on all gods and devils.
"Mortal Sword!" Everyone became aghast at the sight of this Immortal Emperor True Treasure.
This unbeatable sword was in the possession of the gigantic shadow up above. It was the true fate weapon of Immortal Emperor Fan Chen, the second emperor of the Immortal Kingdom. 1
"Clanggg!" The slash of the sword towards the myriad worlds caused the stars to fall and myriad dao to split apart. All laws were annihilated before the might of this one sword, slaying all deities and causing the heaven and earth to quiver.
The ancestor of the great power was frightened and quickly went on the defensive while taking out all of his amazing treasures and weapons. However, the oncoming slash cut all of these treasures apart.
"Dinggg!" The ancestor's true fate weapon was broken. Although the sword didn't hit his body, the remnants of the attack skirted by his body, creating a spring of blood as well as a terrible sword wound. Just a bit closer and his body would have been split apart.
"Eat another one!" Xian Fan's blood energy did not diminish after just one sword slash, and he unleashed another one that was just as tyrannical and powerful as the one prior.
Activating an emperor's true weapon was not easy, but Xian Fan's blood energy still remained strong after the second blow. This was indicative of Xian Fan's heaven-defying strength.
The shocked ancestor wanted to quickly back away from the battle. Xian Fan's elemental armor was like an untouchable hedgehog, but now an emperor's true weapon came into play as well, so it was the same as having two true weapons. Moreover, the elemental armor didn't expend any blood energy so the combination was extremely formidable.
"Boom!" Xian Fan's second attack was still stopped. The collision from the two forces caused sparks to flow everywhere like an erupting volcano spewing flames into the sky. This inferno even scorched the stars.
This was a different Immortal Emperor True Treasure. These were terrifying and tough weapons so their collision nearly destroyed the Earth Realm.
"Hahahaha! The Immortal Kingdom is a bit too arrogant. Did you think we of the ghost race have nobodies here?" A cold and dark voice appeared as an old ancestor emerged from the darkness with a sizable boil on his head. Inside was a squirming Nether Insect King.
This Insect King Ancestor, with his own true weapon, stopped Xian Fan's Mortal Sword. An emperor's lineage ancestor with a true treasure, of course, had power beyond one's imagination.
However, Xian Fan remained proud and issued a resounding battle cry: "Die!" The Mortal Sword's humming resonation filled the sky with a ferocious immortal aura. One sword that cut through everything flew towards the Insect King Ancestor.
"Let me see just how many more you can throw out!" The Insect King Ancestor smiled ominously.
The true treasure in his hand exuded an even stronger imperial power than the Mortal Sword. It couldn't be helped because the ancestor's cultivation was much stronger than Xian Fan's. Since they were both true treasures, it was only a matter of course for Xian Fan to be at a great disadvantage.
The earlier ancestor from the great power saw the Insect King Ancestor repelling Xian Fan's invincible sword and joined in: "Junior, it's time to end this!"
He unleashed his strongest offensive merit law, wanting to use this opportunity to kill Xian Fan.
"Rumble!" Meanwhile, the two imperial true treasures were creating devastating effects that crushed the heavenly grand dao. Outside of ancestors, other cultivators shouldn't even dream about coming closer.
Xian Fan was indeed powerful, but the Mortal Sword required a vast amount of blood energy unlike the Night Era Flower or the Reverse-time Shuttle of Lan Yunzhu. After three slashes, Xian Fan's blood energy began to deplete, especially after taking on the combined effort from two ancestors.
"Amitabha!" An unparalleled buddhist chant appeared. A gigantic buddhist statue arrived and quickly entered the battlefield.
"Boom!" Another imperial aura emerged. This gigantic buddha had an emperor's weapon and repelled the attack from the great power's ancestor, who was working with the Insect King Ancestor.
"Die!" This ancestor had no choice but to use other treasures to stop the new emperor's weapon.
"Boom!" The ancestor was indeed powerful to be able to use his own treasures to stop an emperor's weapon. Nevertheless, he was still forced several thumping steps back.
The ghost ancestor was both surprised and angry as he shouted coldly: "Jian Xuan, Monk Dazhi!"
So this buddha turned out to be Monk Dazhi! However, what really made the ghosts angry was that although Jian Xuan came from the Nether Crossing Swamp and was a ghost himself, he actually moved against his own race. This was a cause for rage.
"Junior, don't forget your identity! You are a ghost yet you are attacking your own — this is betraying your own race!" The ancestor angrily shouted.
"Betray my ass!" At this time, Monk Dazhi cursed, no longer bearing the demeanor of an enlightened monk: "This has nothing to do with my origin! As a cultivator, all of you are using helpless mortals as sacrifices — this is a disgrace to all cultivators and even more of a disgrace to the ghost race! The Ancestral Realm? The Divine Guard? Hahahaha! This monk thinks that they are nothing but a bunch of fiends for carrying out such a ceremony!"
"Boom!" As he was scolding them, he was still attacking non-stop with his emperor's weapon. He was the descendant of the Nether Crossing Swamp and their ghost king wanted to pass him the throne early on — this was indicative of his strength. Now, he was using his emperor's weapon fiercely, causing even the ancestor to be quite wary. Although the ancestor was strong, he was at a great disadvantage for not having his own emperor's weapon.
The furious ancestor shouted and used his strongest treasure to counterattack.
All of a sudden, three different battles were being waged. Lan Yunzhu was using the Night Era Flower and the Reverse-time Shuttle to bombard the Titanic Crescent Ancestor, forcing him to only defend, resulting in his wild anger!
Xian Fan, on the other hand, was using his Mortal Sword to fight against the Insect King Ancestor, but Xian Fan's situation was not as propitious. Despite using a lot of medicines to make up for the loss of blood energy from using the invincible Mortal Sword, it was still not enough to make up for the rate of consumption. A powerful true treasure required too much blood energy.
Lastly, Monk Dazhi was also quite incredible and used an emperor's weapon to fight against a great power's ancestor, but he still didn't garner too much of an advantage.
"Boom!" Finally, due to the lack of blood energy, the Mortal Sword's attack became weaker so Xian Fan was forced back by the Insect King Ancestor.
This ancestor didn't give Xian Fan the chance to fight back and swung down with his own true treasure: "Junior, you are finished!" This attack caused the gods to quiver; it could easily split a Virtuous Paragon into halves.
The Mortal Sword couldn't withstand such a mighty blow, but Xian Fan didn't retreat. Xian Fan scowled as the elemental armor emitted a rumbling sound as even more images and immortal lights filled the sky, completely encompassing Xian Fan's body.
"Bang!" The slash overshadowed even the moon and sun in the sky. However, Xian Fan forcefully met it. The elemental armor was too terrifying. It could withstand an attack from a true treasure without any signs of cracking! Xian Fan was merely jarred from the force of the blow.
"Old man, you won't be able to!" Xian Fan calmed their chaotic blood energy within and sneered.
Although the Mortal Sword expended a lot of Xian Fan's blood energy, the Insect King Ancestor was not in a good spot either. It still required a lot of his reserves to unleash an invincible strike from the emperor's weapon.
"Die!" Xian Fan's will to fight became even stronger. How could an unparalleled genius like Xian Fan be afraid of battle? Xian Fan stopped using the Mortal Sword as the elemental armor turned into a divine spear, sweeping through everything to attacking the Insect King Ancestor.
The enraged ancestor also stopped using his own true treasure since it was wasting too much blood energy. With a long roar, he used his own true fate weapon to meet the attack.
"Bang—bang—bang—bang—bang!" On the other battlefield, Monk Dazhi unleashed five attacks from the emperor's weapon like a storm, causing Yin and Yang to reverse and the void to shatter.
However, an ancestor was indeed an ancestor. Although he was blown away while spurting blood, he used other treasures as a shield to block Monk Dazhi's bombardment!
His cultivation far exceeded Monk Dazhi's, so even though the monk had an emperor's weapon, he couldn't kill this ancestor.
The ancestor made it through the most difficult time and screamed: "Traitor, it's your turn to die!" All types of powerful treasures headed for Monk Dazhi in a crushing manner.
Monk Dazhi was quite alarmed and relied on his emperor's weapon to pour down endless universal laws to protect his body. Earlier, his bombardment spent too much blood energy, so he had no power to fight back and could only rely on his defense.
"Boom!" Monk Dazhi was blown away by the ancestor's counterattack. Although the emperor's weapon protected him, he still vomited blood. It seemed that he was a bit weaker than the matchless Xian Fan.
