CHAPTER 371: CHAPTER 340: BEYOND THE DOMAIN... TRUE DRAGON

The robes billowed, and Qi Xiu’s thoughts slightly stirred. The Cloud Seal Suppressing Talismans suspended all around him suddenly shone brightly.

Over a thousand chains of suppression swept out like angry dragons from the deep abyss, tumultuous as the overturning of rivers and seas, attacking the white-haired old man.

Once the Suppression Talisman Seal Skill was activated, the lush peach grove with its gently swaying Immortal Peaches also stretched out. Stout peach branches, like the spread fingers of a giant hand, met the descending golden chains head-on.

The two forces collided violently.

The golden chains entangled with the peach branches. The Immortal Peaches hanging on the branches shattered, their clear, translucent juice emitting squealing noises upon contact with the golden chains, as if they were living creatures.

Witnessing this bizarre scene, Qi Xiu’s gaze grew even colder. As I thought, a heretic.

With a light snort, Qi Xiu waved his large sleeve, and the world suddenly darkened tremendously. A massive sleeve became a terrifying black hole that threatened to swallow everything.

Universe in the Sleeve!

As the sleeve fell, the growing peach grove, along with the white-haired old man, were enveloped within it. The surrounding Cosmic Bi constricted, trying to draw them into the small world within the sleeve.

The peach grove shook, and streaks of Outside the Domain aura leaked out, struggling to break free from this binding force.

But once Universe in the Sleeve took shape, only a force far surpassing Qi Xiu’s could forcefully break free.

At that moment, the group of Jiunie at the feet of the white-haired old man suddenly moved.

The creatures, which resembled white mice, gnawed with their long teeth, emitting Divine Marvel Power that actually managed to bite a hole through the sleeve’s encompassing world.

The white-haired old man, who was supposed to be trapped like a turtle in a jar, immediately seized the opportunity to jump out. His wooden staff transformed into a large hand that grabbed hold of Qi Xiu’s sleeve.

"Hmm?"

Qi Xiu’s expression shifted. Thinking the white-haired old man was counterattacking, his pale and slender hand under the sleeve swiftly transformed into a colorful glow, the Star Absorption Skill almost ready to counter-clasp the old man.

But at that moment, the white-haired old man chuckled. His bulging forehead emitted divine light, and the Jiunie nearby sprang forcefully, merging into the wooden staff.

The next instant!

An extremely bizarre force rippled out, shattering the Cosmic Bi around them into countless fragments of nothingness. A vast passage appeared out of thin air, releasing a tremendous suction that swept up Qi Xiu and the white-haired old man, swallowing them whole.

WHOOSH—

In the blink of an eye, the Cosmic Bi tunnel closed again. Everything returned to calm as if nothing had happened.

...

In the endless, overturning Cosmic Bi void, two figures tumbled through the chaotic currents of a passage that led to an unknown destination.

Caught off guard and pulled into this Yubi Passage by the white-haired old man, Qi Xiu found himself already inside when he reacted. The entrance of the passage behind him was tightly sealed.

This was no coincidence. It was all deliberately orchestrated. That old fellow’s goal was never the Spirit Rice. His target had always been me!

Noticing the subtle details in the white-haired old man’s actions, Qi Xiu quickly realized something was off.

With the strength the white-haired old man currently displayed, stealing the Spirit Rice could have been done without making a sound or leaving any trace.

Yet he was discovered by Dou Hu, a mere Initiate Realm cultivator.

This was like a martial arts master being tripped by a newborn baby and falling flat on his face.

Therefore, the white-haired old man’s discovery by this Initiate Realm cultivator was a deliberate act.

The purpose was to lure Qi Xiu there, to contrive the subsequent fight, and to bring him into this strange Yubi Passage.

Fooled, Qi Xiu laughed in frustration. He hadn’t expected trouble to come knocking while guarding a field of Spirit Rice. His eyes gleamed with a cold light.

He slowly raised his right hand. Within his palm, an extremely bright light, even brighter than the Taiyang, gathered fiercely—it was the pure and singular essence left after all colors had faded away.

Mixed Yuan Ultimate Cannon!

Moving with lethal intent, Qi Xiu began to wield his most ferocious strike!

This blow, which condensed the essence of "The Secret of the Primordial Dragon-Tiger Scripture," the Primordial Heavenly Thunder Cannon, and the Ten Directions Elemental Energy Cannon, was extraordinarily terrifying.

Even the Vine Demon from the Seven Vines Union, possessing half the power of the Dao Body Realm, had its physical body pulverized by this attack.

To say nothing of this white-haired old man!

The roaring white light, echoing with the explosive sound of the world’s creation, was about to erupt. Just then, the white-haired old man, who was still holding onto Qi Xiu’s sleeve, seemed to sense something. He turned his head and quickly said, "Immortal, please don’t kill me. I bear no ill will."

Ignoring the old man’s pleas, Qi Xiu pushed with his palm, the terrifying Hunyuan Ultimate Cannon ready to crush down on that Outside the Domain creature.

As the white light shone, the white-haired old man’s face showed urgency. Suddenly, he took out an ancient wood carving from his wide sleeve cuff.

The wood carving, glittering with a mysterious light in the setting sun, seemed to contain endless secrets.

The carving’s grain was meticulous, as if naturally formed. An orange Spiritual Light flowed across its every marking, making it appear ancient and mysterious.

The old man gripped the carving tightly and squeezed hard with both arms!

Instantly, the light inside the carving activated, bursting forth with a dazzling orange light, torrential as a flood, illuminating the surrounding darkness.

Within the light, the image of a colossal Immortal Peach gradually took shape. Its surface was as smooth as a mirror, and its color vibrant. It exuded an enticing fragrance. The peach rapidly grew, encompassing the old man and Qi Xiu within it at an astonishing rate.

The power of the Immortal Peach seemed to defy the constraints of space. In the blink of an eye, the two were enveloped by it. Accompanied by the flickering light, their figures vanished without a trace, as if transported to another dimension.
