Not only did he mention the “Law of Unpredictability”, which the Grand Master had never heard of, but he also mentioned the City of Floating Clouds in the Nine Heavens!

That legendary city, which was only recorded in the Imperial Scrolls of Kongsang, was one of the highest secrets of the Yunhuang Wasteland, and could not have been known by anyone except the Supreme Commander of the Great Divine Order, and yet he just spoke about it? Who is he? And why does he not belong to this earth, and neither is bound by the constraints of time?

If the Divine Will is destined to be unseen, then wouldn’t everything they’ve done so far have been in vain…?

After thinking about this, Shi Ying became suddenly calm in his heart.

No, in such a life-and-death critical situation, he must not surrender himself to the other man’s guidance!

“Although the summer insects only chirp for one season, they are still more than worthy to live.” Shi Ying lifted a hand and silently squeezed Zhu Yan, who was a little agitated, and replied, “It is better to chirp and die rather than live forever in silence.”

His hand was calm and strong, making Zhu Yan’s heart instantly feel at ease. The young girl turned her eyes to look at the person beside her and found that although his expression was a little peculiar, his eyes had regained their brightness. In that instant, her heart also quieted down, and she was filled with strength and courage again.

“Better to chirp and die than to live in silence?” The wise man repeated in a low voice.

“Yes.” Shi Ying replied resolutely.

“Good… very well!” The Wise Lord could not help but laugh coldly, “Originally, the wheel of destiny would not start turning until after seventy years from now, but since you are so bent on going against the heavens and wanting to change your fate – then, let me check if you are qualified first!”

In that instant, the temple suddenly went dark.

The sky and the earth plunged into obscurity. Dark clouds rolled down from the vault like a sea of ink crashing down on the temple, and a fierce wind whipped through the air and around the White Pagoda of Jialan, almost destroying it!

Zhu Yan felt the tremendous power pouncing on her face, and the temperature of the atmosphere around her rose rapidly, making it instantly impossible to breathe, just like a melting furnace. In that moment, she had a feeling that soon, the top of this Jialan White Tower would turn into a purgatory!

“Master!” She recklessly rushed towards Shi Ying beside her. However, the moment the darkness overwhelmed her, Shi Ying had already stepped forward, blood dripping down between all his ten fingers, but blossoming with light – it was the Imperial Heavenly Divine Ring being activated by the blood of the emperor, releasing a magnificent brilliance!

That was the magic spell of sacrificing his body!

In this final moment, he was determined to stop the opponent at all costs. As Zhu Yan was watching, she felt the blood boiling in her chest, and a blazing energy rushed to her heart – yes, since Master had already decided to sacrifice his life, why should she spare her own? We shall die together in this battle!

And anyway, they have already made a vow to live and die together.

In the final moment, Zhu Yan did not hesitate and was not scared.

The two of them joined hands and defiantly launched a final attack – the area around them was already a purgatory, hot, dark, twisted and filled with an eerie roar.

With a quick strike, the impact struck them both.

The Wise Man raised his hands, one on each flank, to block them both separately – Shi Ying and Zhu Yan felt a tremendous oppressive force surging forward, like a mountain overturning the sea, almost making it impossible to breathe. But both of them fought desperately, trying to suppress the mutual enemy in front of them, refusing to retreat even half a step no matter what.

Such a deadlock situation seemed to last as long as several centuries.

Inch by inch, they combined their powers to strike down. From such a close proximity, Zhu Yan suddenly saw the face of the person hiding under the dark cloak, and was unexpectedly struck by lightning and could not help but cry out in shock!

This scream immediately caused the spiritual aura she had gathered to be instantly released.

“Ah-Yan!” During that moment, a startled gasp escaped from Shi Ying, “What’s wrong?”

“He… He…” Zhu Yan faltered, feeling her heart and stomach ripping apart.

In that very moment, the Wise Lord uttered a whisper, and with a swift motion of his hands, two bolts of lightning descended from the sky and struck them both in the heart, sending them flying backwards!

Zhu Yan vomited a mouthful of blood, and immediately her eyes went completely black.

Did we still lose? I’m so sorry… Master… Master! In the last instant, she reached out with all her strength and subconsciously tried to touch Shi Ying, however, she fell short.

She lost consciousness the moment she hit the ground and curled up on the floor, as her life was flying away.

Shi Ying fell to the ground at the same time, his senses still intact, but he was already dying. He raised his hand to help up Zhu Yan on his side, but a sudden sharp pain shot through his hand – his fingers were dripping with blood, and the Imperial Heavenly Divine Ring finally escaped from his finger and flew away to the Wise man’s hand!

“No!” He shouted and pulled himself up to try catch it back, but it was too late.

There was a piercing shriek coming from the darkness, and a white shadow flew up in a whirlwind! The heavily wounded Chongming divine bird struggled up with its last strength, and with a stretch of its neck, grabbed the Imperial Heavenly Divine Ring in its mouth!

“Chongming!” Shi Ying whimpered.

The white bird’s feathers were covered in blood, yet struggling to stretch his neck over, inch by inch, he placed the Imperial Heavenly Divine Ring in his palm. Together with it in the palm of his hand he placed another object: it was a sword.

The sword was the heavenly cleansing longsword originally possessed by the God of Destruction.

“Seeking for death!” The Wise man frowned as his palm stood up and hacked into the void.

The invisible force chopped down in the air, and with a long, mournful scream, the neck of the sacred bird snapped and fell to the ground, never to move again – yet until it died, the wings of the divine bird continued to spread and form an arc around the two people on the ground, protecting them from harm as if he was trying his best to protect his own children.

“Foolish creature…” the wise man murmured in the darkness, and his voice was weakening, apparently his strength reaching its limits after the last battle, “You know that the Golden Pupil Mythical Beast has fallen into my hands… but you’re still willing to come and die?”

Before the words left his mouth, he suddenly stuttered.

A bolt of lightning came out of the darkness and penetrated his body with a sharp thrust!

What? After several rounds of fierce fighting, the Wise Man’s reaction was no longer as sharp as before, and he failed to defend himself against the blow.

In the blink of an eye, he was pierced through the heart!

The one standing in front of him was the dying Shi Ying.

After the fierce and bloody battle, the Great Divine Priest’s white robe had been completely stained with blood, and was shocking to behold. Yet in a flash, Shi Ying retrieving the Imperial Heavenly Divine Ring from the beak of the dead bird, and with his last bit of strength, he lashed out this blow with the Heavenly Cleansing Sword!

The mysterious man in the darkness had finally been stabbed by him for real.

Blood flowed from the body of the Lord Wise, dripping down his cloak and gradually spreading out on the ground like a small crimson snake slithering into the darkness – and Shi Ying felt relieved: so even such a powerful and demonic opponent could bleed and be killed!

“Yes, even though I have lived for ten thousand years, I can still die.” As if knowing what he was thinking, the Wise man replied in a murmur, “Understanding this, do you… ahem, feel relieved?”

“Yes.” Shi Ying replied coldly, and in his eyes, there was a sharp light as cold as steel, and that spark of light, almost consumed the last drop of his life, “Killing you… will at least… preserve the peace of Yunhuang for seventy more years.”

“What about after seventy years?” The Wise man, however, asked rhetorically.

“By then… ahem, when the time comes, a new… guardian will naturally emerge.” Shi Ying’s voice cut off, but without the slightest hesitation, “I am… only a mortal, and I can only do well in this life…”

Hearing this reply, the wise man’s eyes flickered with a hint of discomfort.

Life is less than a hundred years long, but always filled with a thousand years of worries.

These human beings on the earth, though they live a short life and die quickly, nevertheless contain within their fragile shells such great power that they are strong enough to fight against the will of Gods and Demons!

The Wise Man stood in the dark shadows, and his shape had begun to falter. Shi Ying locked eyes with him, also refusing to collapse with the last bit of his strength.

Darkness shrouded the top of the White Tower of Jialan, and the wind was so fierce that all the creatures had been reduced to dust. And on top of such a destruction, there were only two people confronting each other, their clothes fluttering, but they remained still.

“Remarkable.” The wise man murmured in the darkness, with his radiant eyes as bright as gold, his tone weak and meaningful, “I never thought that after seven thousand years, I will get to find that there is someone like you in my own descent of blood…”
