Chapter 952: Chapter 90: Erasure

The life souls spread out across the sky.

The Sword Origin River briefly solidified for a moment.

Zhao Chunyang stopped punching and reached out towards the brightest cluster of light and fire.

That was Xie Xuanyi’s “Fetal Light.”

What Lu Yuzhen did went beyond merely throwing out life souls… These scattered souls being thrown out were undergoing “burning,” which Zhao Chunyang could choose to ignore, and these life souls would burn out within a breath’s time.

“Buzz!”

Under the suppression of the Sword Origin River.

Zhao Chunyang directly grasped the “Fetal Light,” and the power of Dao Origin swept over, clearing away all the killing intent enveloping Xie Xuanyi’s Fetal Light!

The next moment.

He looked towards the position where the Holy Empress was.

Lu Yuzhen had already disappeared.

The Paper Taoist’s desperate struggle brought the final turning point to this grand battle.

Rumbling!

Countless white paper transformed into heavy snow, sweeping grandly toward the end of the Great Phoenix Cave Heaven!

Zhao Chunyang stepped on the lotus once more, advancing horizontally.

The void shattered.

With just one step, he caught up behind Lu Yuzhen!

The two of them were less than ten meters apart, and the mournful, grieving dragon roar was already audible.

Lu Yuzhen held in both hands the Sword Qi Cyan Dragon, which had been imprisoned and compressed to the size of a small snake, clearly, the Paper Taoist was risking his life to get it to the Holy Empress!

A sound of breaking through the air came from behind.

Lu Yuzhen glanced back, his expression extremely complex…

Unexpectedly, yet reasonably so.

The “Fetal Light” he prepared ultimately only blocked Zhao Chunyang for a moment.

He took a deep breath and made the final decision.

Lu Yuzhen summoned the Pure White Saint’s dharma form, standing at the end of the Sword Origin River, after receiving the full infusion of primordial power from the Paper Taoist, this towering dharma form was nearly a thousand meters high, wielding three heads and six arms, as though a true Buddha had descended, the dharma form reaching the heavens and the earth, seemingly intending to cut off the Sword Origin River.

In comparison.

The Sect Leader of the Sword Palace, stepping on the lotus, seemed like a mere ant.

Zhao Chunyang furrowed his brow, facing the spontaneously seated Pure White Buddha, he didn’t hesitate and directly punched!

The six palms of the Pure White Saint overlapped, pressing down on the “ant” below—

This scene was extraordinarily visually striking, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

But… the “mantis” and the “chariot” completely switched places after the collision!

With a boom!

The six palms of the Pure White Saint, before they could touch Zhao Chunyang’s body—more accurately, the dharma form of the Yang God Realm basically had no qualification to touch Zhao Chunyang’s flesh—were disassembled by the Sword Origin in mid-air, at an extremely rapid pace!

Zhao Chunyang unleashed a punch!

The thousand-meter dharma form suspended above the Sword Origin River was directly blown apart by this punch—no blood, and after its chest shattered, the Pure White Saint fell backward, countless pieces of white paper scattered out.

These pieces of white paper were ignited by the Sword Origin River, burning one by one and turning to ashes in the void!

The sacrifice of this Pure White Saint’s dharma form barely hindered Zhao Chunyang for a brief moment.

After that moment.

The elder in the Lotus Robe continued to traverse in the void, delivering the final punch towards Lu Yuzhen.

The Paper Taoist felt the killing intent descend.

He resignedly closed his eyes, flinging the Sword Qi Cyan Dragon with all his might.

…

…

The river surged, the power of the punch roared, and the void shattered!

Within the Sword Origin River, everything was returning to nothingness.

The outcome of this punch was already determined.

No matter what dharma form Lu Yuzhen summoned or what treasure he threw, everything would be smashed!

Yet this punch fell into the void.

“…”

Zhao Chunyang slightly furrowed his brow, staring at the scene before him with a strange expression.

Where the power of the punch passed, the Sword Origin obliterated the void.

The already resigned Lu Yuzhen suddenly vanished without a trace in this river!

Not by employing the Dao Domain for quick movement.

Nor by using a Cave Heaven Treasure for concealment.

But rather…

Completely “disappeared”! It was more like an erasure!

Lu Yuzhen’s “disappearance” was as unpredictable as his “appearance.”

He vanished within the Sword Origin River, disappeared inside the Great Phoenix Cave Heaven, and if the area of Divine Thought sensing was expanded, one would find that the Lotus Forbidden Land, Da Sui Sword Palace, and even the entire Da Chu Dynasty… all lacked his presence, his figure.

It was as though he had been erased from this world.

The collapsing and shattering Pure White Saint’s dharma form, still tilting backward one moment, vanished in the next.

Millions of pieces of white paper were also erased at this moment.

With a swish.

This incredibly eerie scene plunged the entire Great Phoenix Cave Heaven into deathly silence.

No fluttering paper snow, only scalding rain of fire.

Even Zhao Chunyang couldn’t understand the reason for this scene’s occurrence… He fell into a brief contemplation, until the distant dragon roar brought him back to reality.

Lu Yuzhen succeeded.

No matter how this “self-erasure” was achieved.

He escaped from Zhao Chunyang’s hand with his life.

And… he successfully delivered the Sword Qi Dragon Vein to the hands of the Holy Empress, the already utterly defeated Yuan Huang, sitting beneath the Immortal Tree, quietly grasping the fourth Dragon Vein that symbolized “perfection.”

“Finally… gathered…”

Yuan Huang looked at the struggling Sword Qi Cyan Dragon in her palm, her face pale, mumbling with difficulty.

Collecting the four Dragon Veins.

Was a hundred times more difficult than she imagined.

Especially this fourth Sword Qi Dragon Vein… without Lu Yuzhen’s assistance, she would very likely have died in the Lotus Forbidden Land.

Though she ultimately succeeded.

Yet Yuan Huang’s war intent remained low, the gap between her and Zhao Chunyang was too vast… she really lacked confidence in her heart.

After gathering the four Dragon Veins, could she truly confront Zhao Chunyang, who was nearly at the level of the Heavenly People?

The Holy Empress leaned against the Immortal Tree, slowly raising her head.

“Rustle.”

A wind blew past, the leaves rustled, shadows swayed.

The Divine Tree, which should have withered, had already “come back to life” after being nourished by three Dragon Veins, now as if imbued with life and sentience, extended countless branches and leaves, gently caressing Yuan Huang, the meaning behind this action was unmistakable… It had already sensed the final Dragon Vein.

It was praying for the grant.

“Hoo…”

At the end of the Sword Origin River, Zhao Chunyang came back to his senses from Lu Yuzhen’s “disappearance” incident, letting out a heavy breath.

Standing on the lotus, he shattered the void, traversing towards the Immortal Tree to kill.

At this, Yuan Huang no longer hesitated.

In response to the Immortal Tree’s plea… The Holy Empress, with utmost determination, pressed the Sword Qi Dragon Vein into the giant trunk of the Divine Tree.

“Boom!”

A power of extreme grandeur and might erupted forth.

Yuan Huang, with her palm pressed against the body of the Immortal Tree, found her dim face basked in radiant light in an instant, her pupils contracted, unable to believe the power she perceived… When the fourth Dragon Vein was infused, the Immortal Tree experienced a true resurgence, and the power underwent a “qualitative change.”

The injuries on the Holy Empress’s body were instantly erased.

Her eyes became bright.

The four Dragon Veins entwined and climbed, the main trunk of the Immortal Tree continually ignited with boiling bright light!

The entire Great Phoenix Cave Heaven was enveloped in radiance!
