Chapter 2055: Chapter 36: Sixth Layer, Venerable Bai Han’s Final Trial (Part 4)

"Crash~"

Mi River Island is different from other floating islands; it is surrounded by tens of thousands of raging void rivers. The only way to enter is to squeeze through the gaps, with each river rubbing against the other, forming whirlpools that resemble eyes, easily crushing an early-stage Emperor and some Middle Grade Reincarnation Soldiers.

Entering Mi River Island is somewhat dangerous; this island is not suitable for living. Among the Fifth Layer Floating Islands, it is the one with the harshest environment, so Juan, Ye Liuxin, the mysterious person, and Emperor Chixiao did not choose to reside here for long.

"Nine Marshes Determine the Universe!"

The blue flower scales on Zhao Xing’s lower body shimmered, and the innate power from his bloodline naturally drew on the Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, and Yin Yang Paths, forming nine rivers of Qi.

Influenced by the nine rivers of Qi, the high-speed rotation of Mi River Island seemed to slow, and the roar of the void rivers significantly weakened.

"Whoosh~"

Zhao Xing swiftly squeezed inside.

......

At the same time Zhao Xing entered Mi River Island.

On ’Spirit Travel Island,’ one of the nine islands, at the peak of the high mountain in the center of the floating island, a swordsman was observing the numerous floating islands below, surrounded by four small Bamboo Swords.

The Bamboo Swords swam like nimble fish around him, and as the Bamboo Swords circled, the rules of the entire floating island seemed to change, and the Marquis Transformation was almost stagnant.

He was Venerable Bamboo Sword, who had taken on the task from the Shadow Temple to capture someone in the ruins.

After arriving at Extreme Star Floating Island, Venerable Bamboo Sword occupied Spirit Travel Island, allowing no one to set foot on it. Anyone who approached was inexplicably repelled. Because of his formidable methods and his absence from sight, no one knew his identity.

Originally, Venerable Bamboo Sword had planned to search for Zhao Xing immediately after arriving and then leave with him.

However, plans could not keep up with changes, so Venerable Bamboo Sword chose to wait on the fifth layer.

"Buzz~"

Before Venerable Bamboo Sword, a dim phantom appeared, and the Marquis Transformation within the floating island sped up again.

His hair was gray, and his figure stooped, resembling Venerable Bai Han.

"Friend, you have stayed in my cave for over three hundred years, neither understanding my legacy nor leaving. What are you plotting?"

One reason Venerable Bamboo Sword remained here was because Venerable Bai Han was indeed alive and continued to constrain him.

Both being demigods, in an away match, Venerable Bamboo Sword was somewhat wary of Venerable Bai Han, who practiced both doctor and agricultural arts.

"Friend, you don’t want to speak, but I can guess a thing or two." Venerable Bai Han looked at the other, "My cave does not allow demigods to enter, yet you forced your way in with the trick of Cover Heaven and Earth. Your means are profound; surely, it is not just for my little inheritance, so you must have a grudge against someone."

"But those who come here are all at the Emperor level. Who could have offended you, making you wait here for hundreds of years?"

Venerable Bamboo Sword still said nothing, seemingly treating Venerable Bai Han as nothing but air.

"I understand, the Heavenly Secret cannot be revealed. Once you speak, your plot might fail." Venerable Bai Han muttered to himself.

"Since you are unwilling to leave or speak, let us continue to engage in our duel. I also wish to learn about the prowess of a Sword Dao Venerable of this era."

.....

The three hundred seventy-fifth year after entering Extreme Star Floating Island.

Zhao Xing emerged from Mi River Island, the smallest of the two horns on his head had completely disappeared.

The scales on the lower half of his body had further receded, transforming into crystal skin with flowing blue flowers.

"Whoosh~"

Zhao Xing exited Mi River Island and quickly headed toward Li Star Island.

"Boom~~"

Heaven and earth were dim, and the earth was almost boiling like a sea of fire.

Green and purple rain fell above the floating island, steam rising to form a toxic barrier layer.

Black thunder flashed to the north and south, forming solid-like mountain ranges.

Only a tiny central part provided a foothold.

Yet, that small area was both a place of comprehension and the dwelling of a monstrous variation of Emperor Tianwu.

"To comprehend, one must face Emperor Tianwu’s aberration directly."

Zhao Xing crossed the Thunder Pool Mountain Range, traversed the Corrosive Medicine Rain Layer, crossed over the sea of fire, and arrived at the place where the Tao Map manifested in the center.

"Swish~"

As soon as he landed, a fleshy monster covered in spikes and compound eyes opened its eyes, all blood-red gazes fixed on Zhao Xing.

"Roar!!"

The entire body of the monster lit up with golden light, spreading over its form.

Zhao Xing tentatively unleashed Five-Finger Mountain.

He drew out Fire Veins from the sea of fire, aggregating them into a mountain, as the Great Five Finger Mountain, carrying flames, pressed down towards Emperor Tianwu.

"Bang!"

Emperor Tianwu simply trembled slightly, and the Great Five Finger Mountain shattered three fingers.

"Really outrageous, in monster form, it still possesses a defense akin to Reincarnation Golden Body."

"Inheriting some of Emperor Tianwu’s traits."

"Emperor Chixiao said it matched the defense of a Seven Tribulation Emperor, it turns out not to be an exaggeration."

Zhao Xing’s attack angered the Emperor Tianwu.

"Boom boom boom!"

Spikes pierced into the ground, and the fleshy mass rolled toward Zhao Xing.

As the spiky golden fleshy mass rolled, Zhao Xing felt as if the entire space-time was pressing towards him, as though the sky was falling.

"Whoosh!"

Zhao Xing turned and ran.

When he lured Emperor Tianwu into the fire sea layer, he immediately cast a spell.

"Earth Core Splitting Technique!"

"Five-Finger Demon God Palace!"

In a direct confrontation, he still found it difficult to defeat the mutated Emperor Tianwu.

However, the harsh environment of Li Star Floating Island coincidentally became a place Zhao Xing could leverage.

"Boom boom boom boom!!!!"

The sea of fire further cracked open, fire veins gushing out, striking Emperor Tianwu like chains while dragging it into the fire sea.
