Chapter 1772: Chapter 1773: This Sword Splits Heaven

“This guy…”

In the distance, under the immense pressure exerted by Luo Changsheng, Ye Qingci watched as Su Chengyu’s figure gradually dissipated into nothingness, her brows knitted tightly together.

She was never omnipotent, and since leaving the Kunwu Realm, she had witnessed the vastness of the world and how limited the cage trapping them truly was.

The collapse of One Realm Cave Heaven posed no personal threat to Ye Qingci. With the Heaven-Mending Stone at her back, she was confident that she could escape using its power at the last moment.

But at this moment, Su Chengyu’s actions to send Xu Nanzhi out were beyond her ability to assist, let alone find a way to save his life.

With a flick of thought, the Sky-splitting Sword instantly returned to Ye Qingci’s hand.

Taking a deep breath, she watched Luo Changsheng, who had pushed himself to the limit, thrust his sword straight at the core that connected with the Cave Heaven.

This place was where all the power converged, and if Luo Changsheng wanted to block her sword, he wouldn’t be able to attend to her movements.

However, Luo Changsheng had no intention of resisting, allowing the sword to strike and Ye Qingci to continue her final maneuvers right in front of him.

“It’s all meant to end.”

Boom!

With a massive explosion, the moment the Sky-splitting Sword touched the core, the entire Cave Heaven reached its limit and exploded entirely in an instant.

The air of destruction centered on Luo Changsheng and spread in all directions, swallowing everything it touched.

The Five-Color Divine Light flickered at the final exit, realizing it had reached its limit, yet it couldn’t locate the figures of Ye Qingci and Su Chengyu.

Su Chengyu, who had rushed in alone, did not return, and the Ye Qingci who had made an agreement with him did not arrive as expected.

“What are these guys thinking, causing such chaos!”

For the first time since its birth, the Heaven-Mending Stone felt such a headache, not understanding Su Chengyu’s actions, nor why the seemingly rational Ye Qingci would choose to rescue Su Chengyu now.

Making matters worse, beside it were Xu Nanzhi, Luo An, and the elders of the Jiang Clan.

Even if it stayed forcefully, it couldn’t keep these three unharmed despite itself being mostly unaffected.

In the midst of the Heaven-Mending Stone’s internal conflict, a voice suddenly echoed in its ear.

This time, after a moment of hesitation, the Heaven-Mending Stone finally ceased its struggle and responded coldly.

“Then this Immortal Stone won’t care anymore; none of them seem to have a brain! Hmph!”

With a hint of resentment, the last of the Five-Color Divine Light vanished from the already fragmenting world.

Simultaneously, a particular golden light burst through the gap left by the departing Heaven-Mending Stone.

“Su Chengyu!”

Locating Su Chengyu within the void wasn’t difficult for Ye Qingci.

But she knew that finding Su Chengyu was only the beginning.

The impending collapse of the Cave Heaven made leaving, with or without Su Chengyu, a tremendous challenge.

Yet Ye Qingci didn’t overthink it. Realizing that Su Chengyu couldn’t even respond to her, she immediately acted to shield his nearly collapsing form, preserving his life.

“How did this guy end up like this?”

After assessing Su Chengyu’s condition, Ye Qingci’s brows tightened.

Since entering this Cave Heaven, she had kept a constant eye on Su Chengyu.

Even when he left the shelter of the Heaven-Mending Stone to venture into the Shattered Cave Heaven alone, Ye Qingci wasn’t overly concerned.

After all, Su Chengyu now possessed the physique equivalent to a Land Immortal.

Aside from not undergoing the final Heavenly Tribulation, his physical strength was almost indistinguishable from a Land Immortal’s.

This situation was similar to Ye Qingci’s self-dispersed Heavenly Tribulation. She understood that as long as Su Chengyu’s mana persisted, he could survive in the void for a considerable time, even with the Cave Heaven’s collapse.

However, Su Chengyu’s condition at present was entirely different.

His aura was chaotic, with countless powers of the Heavenly Dao clashing within him, not to mention the surrounding destructive force from the Cave Heaven’s shattering.

Even in a normal environment, Su Chengyu appeared to be in a self-destructive state.

Ye Qingci attempted to intervene, trying to calm Su Chengyu’s chaotic aura.

But she discovered that even her power was instantly regarded as a foreign invader when it entered Su Chengyu’s body, and the rampant Power of the Great Dao attacked.

Ye Qingci’s energy was completely devoured by the violent aura, leaving her with no ability to fight back.

This bizarre situation made Ye Qingci feel uneasy. She knew that even if she found an opportunity, she might not be able to take Su Chengyu, in such a state, directly out of this realm.

As Ye Qingci was at a loss, a dangerous aura suddenly attacked from behind, causing her to spin around defensively.

The Sky-splitting Sword appeared and unleashed countless rays of sword light but was instantly engulfed by a dense mist of black.

Boom!

The massive impact flung Ye Qingci backwards. Because of Su Chengyu, unable to evade, she had no choice but to fully endure the impact.

Luo Changsheng’s disembodied voice, now part of the destruction storm, echoed.

“Ye Qingci, since you chose to stay, then perish with him in this place!”

Completely assimilated with the Cave Heaven, Luo Changsheng’s form collided infinitely. What was initially a frontal assault, in the next moment enveloped Ye Qingci entirely from all directions with the destructive storm.

“Damn it…”

Ye Qingci bit her lip and glanced at Su Chengyu beside her.

She knew very well that if this attack landed, even if she survived by luck, Su Chengyu, in his current state, would surely die immediately.

“I must owe you from a past life!”

Ye Qingci’s last words were uttered as the Sky-splitting Sword slashed across her fingertip just as she prepared to drip her blood into it.

The Sky-splitting Sword, already attuned to Ye Qingci’s heart, suddenly moved out of her control.

Soaring into the air, a familiar aura emanated from the sword’s body.

That vigorous momentum, that unmistakable Sword Intent, the image that Ye Qingci had seen once and never forgotten, finally resurfaced before her, after countless years.

“Disperse!”

With just those words, the chaotic storm forged from the Cave Heaven’s shattering scattered into nothing in an instant.

Amidst the void, from the emerging golden light, stood the person Ye Qingci had searched for assiduously for over a decade.

Su Zhetian.
