Chapter 59: Sudden Change

  The monster retreated, leaving a field of corpses. Chen Tao recovered for a while, gained some strength, and came down from the tree to run towards the direction of Yuwang Stele.

  Today, it seems that Chen Tao's heart is being constantly tortured. Just as Chen Tao entered the range of Yuwangbei, Yuwangbei suddenly burst out with unprecedented light.

  Like a white-hot sun, shining in all directions, as the Yuwang Stele shines, the surrounding dead monsters dissolve one by one, turning into tiny points of white light that disperse around.

  Twenty sword shadows surrounded Ye Chen, forming a circle of light and shadow around him, resisting the intense white light.

  Chen Tao also felt a sharp pain all over his body, and quickly retreated back to the outer square, only then did he feel that the crisis had passed, and the previous feeling made Chen Tao almost think that he was going to die.

  Chen Tao stared at the scene in front of him in shock, unable to understand what had happened, and how the Yuwang Stele could emit such a heaven-destroying and earth-shattering power.

  The range of the Yuwang Stele is like a huge sun, outside which no power can be felt. Once inside its range, that power makes everyone's heart palpitate.

  What surprised Chen Tao even more was Ye Chen and Ye Xue, Ye Chen's body surrounded by swirling sword shadows, actually managed to block this boundless white light.

  Although the circle formed by the sword shadow was gradually shrinking, it was enough to surprise Chen Tao.

  What surprised Chen Tao even more was that the white light enveloped a place, and Xiao Xue actually flew up. The monster that pressed on Xiao Xue's body dissipated under the white light, revealing Xiao Xue below. Xiao Xue's body was covered in fresh blood, and it was still flowing in this situation. And the direction of the flow was surprisingly towards the Yuwang Stele.

  Xiaoxue's fresh blood flowed towards the Yuwang Stele, making the light emitted by the Yuwang Stele even brighter. The fresh blood formed a bridge between the Yuwang Stele and Xiaoxue, reviving the Yuwang Stele as if it had come back to life.

  Chen Tao could actually hear the sound of the surging sea water, the roar of the waves, and the sound of the waves crashing against the reefs...

  All sorts of sounds made Chen Tao think he was in the middle of the ocean, and Xiao Xue stood up straight under the reflection of the white light, which made her look radiant and holy, making Chen Tao feel a little ashamed.

  This change has not ended yet. Next to Xiaoxue, who was standing still, two things suddenly appeared: one side was covered with a layer of ice and the other had rippling water.

  Ice and water combine, each occupying half of the river, with clear layers and emitting a faint glow. It's unclear whether it's reflected or inherently existing.

  The white light was still brighter, but just in front of the square's distance, Ye Chen's sword shadow on his body also became smaller and more blurred. Xiaoxue's body became even more holy, with a layer of ice and water surrounding her becoming increasingly visible.

  Chen Tao could only anxiously watch from the side, unable to get in, let alone help. This was even more difficult than when the demon beasts attacked earlier. At least then he could still use his bottle flower and inkstone to kill a few of them, but now he had no way to make a move.

  Chen Tao could only quietly watch from the side, and pray in his heart that Ye Chen and Xiao Xue were safe and sound. Sakyamuni, Amitabha Buddha, Laozi, Jade Emperor... all the ancient immortals whose names Chen Tao knew were silently recited in his heart.

  But it seems that nothing can stop what's going to happen, and the space that Ye Chen can occupy is getting smaller and smaller. If this continues, Ye Chen will be completely exposed under the white light.

  It seems that he also sensed the great danger that Ye Chen was facing. A black sword shadow appeared above Ye Chen, as if opening up the sky and earth. A sharp sword momentum shot straight into the clouds, like the sun at dawn, cutting through the darkness with a bright light.

  A sharp sword shadow directly opened up a two-meter diameter circular circle in this white light, and the circle rushed straight up to form a vacuum zone.

  Chen Tao's mouth was wide open in shock, this can also be? Divine Sword? Absolutely divine sword!

  Chen Tao suddenly woke up and was able to emit such an overwhelmingly powerful and destructive aura, it must be the divine sword!

  "Wow, where did Dust get that divine sword from? No wonder he can have so many sword shadows surrounding him. This is a divine sword, one in ten thousand, the overlord of swords, the divine sword that makes all other swords bow down! It's only natural to have so many sword shadows guarding him. Hmm, if this divine sword were to be sold, how many credit points could it fetch? How many heavenly treasures and earthly riches could it exchange for?" A string of numbers flashed through Chen Tao's mind, the rows of zeros making his mouth water, and in an instant, the room was filled with heavenly treasures and earthly riches, their fragrance wafting up to his nostrils, even the Nine-son Golden Lotus was being used as a melon seed.

  With a snort, everything was gone. Chen Tao was furious and was about to explode, when suddenly a sense of crisis surged up in his mind.

  Chen Tao came to, lifted his head and looked up, a black long knife whizzing straight towards him.

  "Oh no, mom!" Chen Tao was shocked and turned around to run. The piece of leaf in his hand was thrown out with a flick of his wrist.

  With a loud crash, the leaves shattered, and the long knife came with undiminished momentum. Chen Tao had no time to recover, and could only run quickly.

  But Chen Tao's speed was no match for this swiftly flying black knife. There was a tree in front, and Chen Tao dodged to the side.

  Boom!

  A deafening crash, and the tree was split into four or five pieces under Hei Dao's attack, with branches flying everywhere that could knock down other trees.

  After the loud noise, Mount Yunlu regained its tranquility. The white light continued to shine, and no demonic beasts approached from around. It was unclear whether it was due to a warning from the demonic beasts or some other reason, but not a single demonic beast appeared.

  As for humans, let's not even mention it. The high mountain is a concentrated danger zone. Don't climb the mountain unless absolutely necessary. This is a warning earned with countless lives lost by our predecessors.

  It was unknown how long had passed when the sound of "psst psst psst" became extremely jarring in this quiet forest, Chen Tao climbed down from the tree branches, feeling sore all over his body.

  "What the hell is wrong with you? Who the hell wants to kill me?" Chen Tao burst out in a loud curse.

  Looking at the trees nearby, I still have a lingering fear, that one knife's power is enough to kill myself without leaving any residue.

  "Huh?" Chen Tao looked at the black knife and felt a sense of familiarity, wasn't this the same knife that Dust had in his hand? Damn it, did Dust actually want to kill him?

  Chen Tao's head was on fire, and he immediately felt something was off. At that time, Dust was still in a coma, how could he have killed himself? Moreover, given the relationship between him and Dust, how could Dust kill him? This was absolutely impossible.

  What about Dust and Little Snow? Chen Tao thought of Ye Chen and Little Snow's situation at the time, quickly pulled out the black long knife that had been ejected, and ran towards the Yuwang Stele.

  Earlier, Chen Tao was chased by the long knife in his hand and ran forward in a hurry, not thinking that the knife was so clumsy, all the way straight line, if he had known earlier, Chen Tao would have turned around earlier, this is what Chen Tao thought on his way back.

  Nor did he know how long he had been unconscious, nor what the situation on Yunlu Peak was like. Chen Tao rushed towards the top of Yunlu Peak at his fastest speed.

  Chen Tao was shocked by his own speed at the time, and he actually ran so far. It wasn't until a while later that Chen Tao returned to the top of the mountain, where the scene before his eyes left him standing frozen in place, staring blankly at the scene in front of him.
