Fu Wu continued on her way to the Tianxing Ancestral Land. After a couple of steps, she stopped in her tracks and looked up. The previously shattered spacetime began to rapidly restore itself, and in no time, spacetime was completely back to normal.
Yi Nian appeared in that spacetime, and her figure appeared illusory and bizarre.
It was like she had become one with the spacetime and not at the same time.
Fu Wu was surprised. She was genuinely taken aback. It was a genuine restoration of spacetime. In addition to that, it encompassed many bizarre techniques involving spacetime manipulation. Yi Nian's understanding of spacetime exceeded the Tianxing Civilization’s understanding of it.
Fu Wu looked at Yi Nian. Then, she opened her hand before slowly clenching her fist.
Crack!
The spacetime around Yi Nian cracked open. Yi Nian's expression turned grave as she quickly waved her hands, distorting the spacetime around her.
Just then, Fu Wu vanished into thin air.
In the distance, Yi Nian raised her right hand and brought it down violently.
The spacetime around her was set ablaze, and waves of destructive energy swept across the battlefield.
The denizens of Tianxing were shocked, and they hurriedly retreated.
Just then, Fu Wu rushed forward. She placed her two fingers together and pointed forward.
Boom!
The burning spacetime trembled violently and exploded. However, the waves of destructive energy had yet to be dealt with, and they swept toward her like a tidal wave.
Fu Wu furrowed her brows and waved her sleeve.
Rumble!
The spacetime between the two ladies exploded like fireworks, forcing them to retreat simultaneously.
Upon taking a few steps backward, Fu Wu stopped and disappeared.
Bang!
A deafening explosion reverberated as Fu Wu made a beeline for Yi Nian.
Far away, Yi Nian had just come to a stop when Fu Wu appeared before her.
Yi Nian’s heart jumped, and she quickly manipulated spacetime to defend herself.
In response, Fu Wu waved her sleeve, causing the spacetime around Yi Nian to shatter.
A mysterious energy enveloped her at the same time.
It was a Domain! This was the first time Fu Wu had ever unleashed a domain since this long, drawn-out fight had started!
Suppressed by Fu Wu's domain, Yi Nian could no longer manipulate spacetime.
The spacetime around her shattered and was destroyed.
However, Yi Nian was unharmed. Her figure was in another spacetime!
"Break." Fu Wu pointed at her.
With that, a terrifying scene unfolded before Yi Nian's eyes as the spacetime in front of her began to shatter layer by layer. A myriad of spacetime layers were destroyed, and Yi Nian was forcibly dragged out from another spacetime.
Yi Nian clenched her hands tightly. The spacetime that had just shattered restored itself.
She was forcefully restoring the spacetime around her.
Unfortunately, Fu Wu was not going to let her do that under her watch.
Fu Wu waved her sleeve once again.
Boom!
The spacetime shattered and disappeared into nothingness.
However, Fu Wu didn't attack the exposed Yi Nian.
Yi Nian's face turned as white as a sheet of paper at the sight.
Fu Wu had yet to display her true power. She wasn't even taking her seriously.
Fu Wu looked at Yi Nian and commented, "Your ability to manipulate spacetime is quite impressive."
When her words fell, she flipped her palm and raised it. An invisible hand grabbed Yi Nian, immobilizing her.
Still, the force pushed Fu Wu a hundred meters away. She stared at the Reincarnation Ancestral Stone, watching as it trembled violently. Soon, a shadowy figure emerged from within the stone.
The denizens of Tianxing looked on in confusion and doubt.
Could it be the spirit of the Reincarnation Ancestral Stone?
The shadowy figure solidified, taking the form of a lady in a flowing green dress. Her long hair was tied high into a ponytail, and she had a sheathed blade in her right hand. She had an ethereal presence, as though she stood beyond the confines of the mortal world.
"She's the Tianxing Ruler, Hou Qing!" someone exclaimed in disbelief.
Hou Qing was the fourth Tianxing Ruler of the Tianxing Civilization. The Tianxing Civilization have had six Tianxing Rulers so far. During Hou Qing's era, the Chief Enforcement Officer wasn’t the strongest; it was the Tianxing Ruler.
It wasn’t until Fu Wu that the civilization had someone capable of rivaling the Tianxing Ruler.
Before Fu Wu's generation, the Tianxing Rulers were invincible—they were the strongest of all Tianxing fruits.
Hou Qing's return filled everyone with hope and excitement. They had no idea that the Reincarnation Ancestral Stone had such a trump card. But in hindsight, it made perfect sense. How could this place not have a trump card?
Fu Wu stared at Hou Qing, and her face was impassive and unreadable.
Hou Qing’s gaze also fell onto Fu Wu.
The two ladies exchanged glances. "Ancestral Stone, please," Hou Qing suddenly said.
The Reincarnation Ancestral Stone trembled violently. Then, the crystals turned into steaks of blue light and converged in one place.
All the Life Seeds had been collected!
Ye Guan looked at the Reincarnation Ancestral Stone with surprise. It was evident that the Reincarnation Ancestral Stone was sentient. It appeared quite powerful, but Ye Guan was not sure just how strong it was.
Once the Reincarnation Ancestral Stone had gathered all the Life Seeds,
Hou Qing’s gaze returned to Fu Wu.
"Let’s go!" she exclaimed.
Words were unnecessary at this point, and Hou Qing did not bother asking Fu Wu about the reason she had decided to do all this. Fu Wu had come this far to kill, and there had to be a good reason for it.
What Hou Qing could do at this point was prepare for the final battle!
Reasons were no longer important.
"You go first," Fu Wu said, calm.
"Alright!"
With that, she stepped forward, and a wave of saber light tore through the heavens and earth, crashing down fiercely toward Fu Wu.
Boom!
Fu Wu remained motionless at the sight.
Hou Qing struck again.
Fu Wu waved her sleeve.
Bang!
The saber light shattered, but she still didn't budge even an inch.
Hou Qing took to the air, and the spacetime above Fu Wu exploded.
A terrifying saber light fell straight down.
Bang!
Fu Wu pointed at it, and the saber light shattered.
Fu Wu was still unmoving!
Swoosh!
Fu Wu vanished into thin air.
Hou Qing stopped dead in her tracks, as Fu Wu had reappeared behind her.
The saber in Hou Qing’s hand shattered and disappeared completely in the proverbial blink of an eye.
Fu Wu shook her head, and disappointment was evident in her eyes as she turned to the Ancestral Stone in the distance, saying, "Let the first Tianxing Ruler come out, or let them all loose!"
Fu Wu's declaration rendered both heaven and the earth silent!
