Little Thousand World.

Lü Yu formed a hand seal. Exploding Flame True Thunder became a blazing sun that bombarded Lady Wei. In his Little Thousand World, everything heeded his arrangements, leaving Lady Wei with nowhere to run.

“Lady Wei, This Old Man has long wanted to kill you. Ha, ha, today, This Old Man can kill a Heavenly Star.” Lü Yu was beside himself with joy, showing a triumphant sneer.

His “Scorching Sun Burning Heaven” ability was launched with a snap of his fingers. The searing sun blazed, becoming an enormous fireball.

Such a vast Divine Fire True Thunder turned the entire Little Thousand World’s trees and forests into a desert. Even Lady Wei’s expression became serious.

Lady Wei’s hands moved. The Autumn Waters Condensed Deceased Brush wrote in the air.

Star Energy became substantive characters in her surroundings. Lady Wei’s Innate Skill was “Brush Intent,” an Innate Skill possessing superb calligraphy abilities. The might of this Star Name that could give pointers to Sage Of Calligraphy Wang Xizhi was plainly obvious. Characters appeared in the surroundings, each one appearing profound.

Dark Rank: Furious Suanni Targeting Stone.1

The Autumn Waters Brush lastly made a dot, and all of the characters condensed into one, becoming a suanni that bared its fangs at the Scorching Sun Divine Thunder. That lion mouth seemed able to devour the heavens, incomparably large, and it surprisingly bit into the Scorching Sun Burning Heaven.

The suanni and the sun entangled, the magic energy and Star Energy evenly matched.

How splendid, Lady Wei. Lü Yu also sensed that his ability was helpless. The old man sneered and changed his thinking, activating a Heaven Earth Grade magic treasure, “How will you stop this Old Man’s ‘Spring And Autumn Mirror.”

A mirror enlarged, becoming three chi in size. This mirror’s spring light was endless on one side, and its autumn intent bleak on the other. Under Lü Yu’s control, the mirror continuously flashed, releasing green and yellow light.

Wherever the green light shone, the desert was immersed in spring breezes, and tens of thousands of shoots sprouted. Then, all of the leaves withered once the yellow light shone upon them, a scene of decay. This Heaven Earth Grade Spirit Treasure was the trump card that Lü Yu was most proud of. Shining the green light upon himself, not only could he protect himself, he could also lessen his injuries. Facing the yellow light on his enemy would conversely wear down their magic energy.

As expected, once the Spring And Autumn Mirror emerged.

Yellow light covered Lady Wei. That Furious Suanni Targeting Stone calligraphy rapidly decayed and withered, losing its energy. Lady Wei was the master of the Cangwu Star Field’s Thousand Gold Pavilion and had seen great billows and surges. Her expression calm, she pointed her finger, activating a Dark Rank “Thirsty Horse Spring.”2

Characters became water-light, transforming into a qilin-shape that sucked in the yellow light.

But the Spring And Autumn Mirror was a magic treasure operating on gaining while the enemy declined. As time dragged, Lü Yu would be at a greater advantage. The Lord Of Heaven old man was already impatient to kill Lady Wei, hurriedly urging on tremendous magic energy. 

The Spring And Autumn Cycle sword chant simultaneously attacked with a sword array.

“Lü Yu, do not think that This Lady is unaware of your abilities.” As the master of the Thousand Gold Pavilion, Lady Wei naturally knew the Cangwu Star Field like the back of her hand. In the face of Lü Yu’s attack, Miracle Brush Famous Concubine disdainfully spoke, moving her Divine Intent. All of a sudden, snow-white clothes that were as brilliant as a cicada’s wing was thin appeared on her body.

Once garbed in these clothes, Lady Wei’s energy was immediately rejuvenated. Her bright eyes were like stars, glaring as snow. The inherently beautiful Lady Wei became even more stunning after changing into new clothes.

“Ice Soul Snow Spirit Clothes.”3 Lü Yu was shocked. This was but a Heavenly Spirit Grade Astral Treasure.

The Spring And Autumn Mirror’s yellow light lost efficacy under the Ice Soul Snow Spirit Clothes. Lady Wei took a deep breath, her forehead’s Star Crest flashed, and the Autumn Waters Brush spun around her surroundings. In an instant, innumerable characters were drawn everywhere in empty space, layered like a barrier.

Héng4 like a thousand li of clouds.

Diǎn5 like a stone falling from a summit.

Piě6 like a horn.

Zhé7 like a crossbow on the verge of firing.

“豎”如萬歲枯藤。

Shù8 like an ancient, withered rattan.

9 like collapsing waves and thunder.

Héngzhégōu10 

This was the quintessence of The Picture of Ink Brush.

Seeing these characters manifest, Lü Yu’s expression grew concerned. Imbuing magic energy into the Spring And Autumn Mirror, using every kind of protective ability, his sword chant attacked Lady Wei like a storm, but there was no effect. The brush strokes constructed an absolute defense that made every Flying Sword return without results.

A gray Star Crest glowed on Lady Wei’s forehead. Her eyes were like lightning, and the Autumn Waters Brush continued to write above her.

The Earth Rank’s power grew stronger and stronger, like a swelling tide.

Lü Yu yelled and clapped his hands together, unleashing his “Great Void Slash” ability.

Lady Wei also shouted and raised a white hand.

All of her brush strokes promptly formed into various characters that shot towards Lü Yu.

This was none other than her Earth Rank.

“Falling Thousand Autumns!”11

The Little Thousand World immediately became a blank world. Countless star characters flipped open like turning pages of a book. The powerful Star Energy thundered towards Lü Yu, adopting myriad forms.

“Nine Firmaments Ring World!”12

Lü Yu used his most powerful ability. Halos of the nine firmaments appeared over Lü Yu’s body. This technique’s formidable defense drained most of Lü Yu’s body, but it was able to withstand Primeval Chaos Grade Spirit Treasures without failure.

Lady Wei’s Earth Rank Falling Thousand Autumns landed, and Lü Yu’s nine firmaments halos peeled away layer by layer, the light of the halos rapidly receding. The Spring And Autumn Mirror’s light also completely vanished.

Eight of the Nine Firmaments Ring World’s layers broke in succession, but Lü Yu stopped Lady Wei’s Earth Rank in the end. The old man cackled, “This Old Man wants to see what other tricks you have for this.” He then pointed.

“Hm?” Lady Wei wrinkled her brow.

Just at this moment, the Little Thousand World suddenly plunged into darkness. A powerful external force seemed to rip apart the Little THousand World, surprising even Lü Yu. His Little THousand World was already its own dimension. Unless that was an ability defiant of natural order, it would be very difficult to invade. But the outside world’s immense power surprisingly affected his Little THousand World.

The darkness receded in a flash. Lü Yu was fully aware there were changes on the outside, and he hastily moved to kill Lady Wei.

In his eyes, Lady Wei already posed no threat after using her Earth Rank. As for “Heaven Rank,” given Lady Wei’s current Realm and capabilities, to comprehend that was not so simple.

“Die!!”

Lü Yu attacked with Exploding Flame True Thunder, Scorching Sun Burning Heaven.

Lady Wei suffered the strike. Her entire body shook, and she vomited a mouthful of scarlet blood. The Ice Soul Snow Spirit Clothes were dyed a hair-raising red. Even the Heavenly Spirit Grade Astral Treasure could hardly withstand Lü Yu’s technique.

When Lü Yu saw that Lady Wei was injured, frenzy entered his eyes.

Lady Wei dipped the Autumn Waters Brush. Like a pike, it shot towards Lü Yu. This Five Star Destined Weapon’s power was like a hot knife through butter, and it was comparable to a formidable magic treasure.

BUt this was not worth a mention in Lü Yu’s eyes.

Flying Swords immediately contained the Autumn Waters brush. Without her Destined Star Weapon’s support, Lady Wei was even more like a dead woman walking in his eyes.

Just at this moment, Lady Wei smirked.

“White Horse Cavalry, break through with irresistible force!”

All of a sudden, twelve cavalrymen on white steeds, wearing white armor, and gripping white spears manifested out of thin air around her, each with a billowing heroic air.

“White Horse Cavalry?”

Lü Yu was shocked. He completely did not expect Lady Wei to have more.

“You did not fall under the assumption that This Lady borrowed only twelve, did you. The White Horse Marquis is but This Lady’s close friend.” Lady Wei had already planned for everything, and these twelve additional White Horse Cavalry were her trump card.

Lü Yu wanted to summon his Flying Swords, but Lady Wei used a Yellow Rank. In a flash, his Flying Swords were restrained.

The twelve White Horse Cavalry charged, becoming twelve white shadows.

White light flit by.

Lü Yu hastily used his powers, wildly smashing with Exploding Flame Divine Thunder.

But against the twelve White Horse Cavalry’s assault, this was completely useless. The white horses tackled the Exploding Flame Divine Thunder aside, and the twelve cavalrymen rushed straight in front of Lü Yu. Their white lances stabbed, and white light pierced.

How could Lü Yu have blocked the White Horse Cavalry’s assault. His last halo was smashed to pieces.

Lady Wei then used the Heavenly Spirit Astral Treasure, “Star Splitting Shears.”13

The Star Splitting Shears became two crisscrossing starlights. Lü Yu was worthy of being called a Lord Of Heaven, for he once again struck with magic energy, using the Spring And Autumn Mirror to resist the Star Splitting Shears, but this was basically unable to handle the twelve White Horse Cavalry. Their spears ran through Lü Yu one after another, completely destroying his physical body.

A Primordial Spirit escaped the corporeal body, and Lü Yu attempted to use the Little Thousand World to escape, but Lady Wei had already anticipated this. The Star Splitting Shears attacked again, slicing through the Primordial Spirit.

Lü Yu screamed, and he was promptly destroyed.

The Little Thousand World immediately collapsed.

Upon exiting the Little Thousand World, Lady Wei saw endless darkness. She immediately made the White Horse Cavalry protect her, “Xiao Mohe used her Earth Rank…Good.” Lady Wei sneered.

Darkness Mandala.

A gloomy mandara blossomed in the darkness, and Xiao Mohe’s attack unfolded like this mandara. Powerful energy buffeted in all directions though Chen Mo firmly hugged Wang Yuanji and relied on the Orchid Pavilion Preface to withstand the remaining might.

“Phoenix Earth Rank: Ode To Luoshen’s Thirteenth Line!”14 Little Sage Buried In Books Wang Xianzhi’s voice shouted through the darkness.

Three Earth Ranks traded blows, then Wang Xianzhi used her Phoenix Earth Rank.

The darkness became thicker and thicker, and the endless gloomy mandala filled the room, wherein silhouettes intersected. Chen Mo was unable to see, but his body was knocked away, landing him outside.

The Orchid Pavilion Preface’s light was immediately extinguished.

In the end, the Orchid Pavilion Preface was not a magic treasure, merely the Star Energy left behind by an Ancient Star Name.

This treasure of the Wang Clan of Langya immediately broke.

Darkness. There was still more darkness.

All of a sudden, Chen Mo felt the world go quiet. All of the pressure disappeared completely, and a white light appeared in the darkness. Chen Mo lifted his head to look.

A long stream of autumn waters extended over, and the sound of a woman stepping in the river approached.

The figure wore white clothes and was extraordinarily elegant. She was none other than Wang Xianzhi.

“Hm?”

Could it be that Wang Xianzhi won? Chen Mo wrinkled his brow.

Wang Xianzhi daintily walked over, leisurely strolling before Chen Mo.

“Wang Xianzhi, don’t tell me you used Heaven Rank?” Chen Mo felt that something was not right.

Wang Xianzhi’s dark red lips slightly curled. Her eyes looked lovingly at the Wang Yuanji who was laying against Chen Mo’s chest and knelt down to gently stroke Wang Yuanji’s tender face. The girl was protected very well by Chen Mo and did not suffer any effects. However, her injuries were too severe, and her expression was a bit pained.

“Chen Mo, can I entreat you to promise me something?”

“Speak?!”

“Would it be possible for you to risk your life to protect Xixue’s15 safety.”

Xixue?

Chen Mo looked at Wang Yuanji. Could this be her True Name? Looking at Wang Xianzhi’s very sincere expression, Chen Mo nodded: “I will.” 

“Thank you.”

Wang Xianzhi faintly smiled. She lifted her gaze and looked to the end of the autumn waters. Her clothes fluttered, floating free and easy.

Chen Mo looked again. The surroundings were all black. Wang Xianzhi’s unfettered figure just now seemed to have been merely an illusion.

The darkness faded bit by bit, and the mandara flower finally withered.

At the center of the underground palace, two people stood face to face. Already, one person’s figure was missing.

Chen Mo was stunned, his eyes unable to help but darken.

A Crimson Star fell into the underground palace, and her Star Crest lit a second totem.

Little Sage Buried In Books Wang Xianzhi.

Starfall.
