A thousand feet underground, Qing Yu and the Sword God stood sternly opposed.

After drinking the blood of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sky Demon, Doomsday Myth completely transformed into a Tribulation Device, and its human tribulation was gone. Next, it would depend on whether the Sword God would cease fighting.

"Your knife and sword are not equal, forcibly matching them, your sword cannot endure."

The Sword God's gaze flicked to the Star Constellation Tribulation in Qing Yu's hand, speaking indifferently.

Though the Star Constellation Tribulation was the essence of the Primordial Sky Demon, it still fell short compared to the current Doomsday Myth.

Both the knife and sword were Demon Weapons. If the power was unequal, the stronger might devour the weaker, causing damage to the Star Constellation Tribulation.

"Weapons, I have plenty of, so there's no need for the Sword God to worry."

Qing Yu lightly swung his knife and sword, "Is the Sword God afraid of losing? Deliberately discussing the strength of weapons?"

"It's just a pity for this extraordinary Demon Sword."

The Heavenly Talent Sword once again slashed through the void, the sword stirred the molten lava.

As this great battle was about to resume, a palm force blasted out from above, striking between them, and smashing the tide of molten lava.

"Force spans a thousand feet, yet another warrior."

Qing Yu slightly raised his head, looking through the crimson molten lava at the three-foot round hole blasted by the palm force, "Xuan Yuan One Qi, the fundamental Divine Skill of the Supreme Taoist Sect, Supreme Taoist Master, won't you come out?"

The Tao Ancestor possessed by Xuan Du wouldn't make the two stop fighting due to fear, only that Supreme Taoist Master had the power to halt the battle.

Silently, the molten lava was pushed aside by a gentle force, a figure appeared between the two as if it had always been there.

Supreme Taoist Master, he had freed himself from the secret realm of the Supreme Taoist Sect and appeared here.

With an appearance that seemed both ordinary and divinely made, bearing an unspeakable majesty, the Supreme Taoist Master lightly vibrated the Xuan Yuan One Qi, inserting a third foot between the knife and sword, "You two, please cease fighting. If you continue to fight fiercely, the molten lava under Hong Province will erupt sooner or later.

At that time, this entire province will be directly destroyed."

What will be the consequences of such destruction?

Of course, it will directly push the great tribulation to its later stage. The disaster caused by the destruction of a province will be enormous, not only will people suffer, even mountains and rivers will collapse and be destroyed. The tribulation Qi created will directly push the great tribulation to the final stage without any problem.

Upon hearing this, Qing Yu quietly calculated in the Great Wisdom Space and found that the Supreme Taoist Master's words were indeed correct.

Previously focused on fighting the Sword God, he had neglected the situation in Hong Province. If such a disaster were inadvertently caused, it would greatly contradict his original intentions.

'I didn't think I'd have such a careless moment.' Qing Yu thought self-deprecatingly.

He had always calculated everything without omission, even if he made a miscalculation, he could timely find and fix it, but this time, if the Supreme Taoist Master hadn't intervened, he might truly have triggered a molten lava outbreak.

This also showed the pressure the Sword God placed on Qing Yu. To deal with the Sword God, Qing Yu dared not let his mind stray even a bit.

'However······'

Qing Yu stared closely at the Supreme Taoist Master, "Shouldn't the Daoist desire the great tribulation to reach its end? Why stop this battle?"

For the Supreme Taoist Master, now seemed to be the right time, wasn't it? To ignite the great tribulation, making himself the one chosen by fate to respond to the tribulation, this was the Supreme Taoist Master's aim.

But now, he was stopping the outbreak of the great tribulation. Although this overlapped with Qing Yu's goal somewhat, it also made him suspicious.

"Only discovered that our abilities would cause him immense harm." The Sword God sneered.

"Your Tribulation Device, my Ten Thousand Tribulations Sky Demon Qi has restraints on the Supreme Heaven Opening Scripture based on the sky. If you and I determine the victor, regardless of who wins or loses, we will be able to swallow the erupting tribulation Qi. At that time, hmm hmm······"

The Sword God didn't finish the sentence, but Qing Yu could guess it.

It's undeniable that this Sword God is different from the Sword God. The latter is a complete martial arts fanatic, while the former, beyond martial arts, is not stingy with wisdom and strategy.

Though his speed of thought isn't as fast as Qing Yu's, the Sword God has a unique keen intuition.

As he said, if the battle continues, it could very well foster an unprecedentedly powerful individual. Whether the Sword God obtains the Tribulation Device or the Tribulation Device transforms with the Sword God's life, neither is favorable to the Supreme Taoist Master.

The tribulation Qi from the destruction of Hong Province would be absorbed by the victor, becoming the Supreme Taoist Master's greatest strong enemy, one with great restraint against him.

Though the probability of such a result is not great······

Because Qing Yu is not confident in surpassing or even killing the Sword God, and the Sword God cannot do anything to Qing Yu. The final result is likely Qing Yu timely discovers Hong Province's anomaly, leaving the battle at an end.

But this, the Supreme Taoist Master cannot gamble on.

"Daoist," Qing Yu said with a trace of ridicule, "your capacity is inferior to that of the Sword God and the Sword God."

Compared to the Sword God and the Sword God, the Supreme Taoist Master, who has always lingered behind the scenes occasionally coming out to make small amends, indeed seems a bit petty.

Though his plan has brought him great advantage, it also tarnishes the title of the world's number one warrior.

However······

What does it matter to the Supreme Taoist Master?

"So-called capacity is merely a self-praising term. So-called reputation is nothing but a meaningless falsehood."

The Supreme Tao Master, with a face devoid of emotion, spoke of his heart's tranquility, "Lord Qingyu, you and I are likely of the same kind. Would you care about this so-called stature and fame?"

Mockery and ridicule could not cause even a hint of disturbance in the mental state of the Supreme Tao Master. Long ago, when Qingyu unified the Taoist Sect and the Supreme Tao Master did not make an appearance, his reputation had already suffered a blow.

But back then, the Supreme Tao Master did not show himself; now, he would not harbor a trace of anger due to any mockery.

Besides achieving the Tao Realm, all else is illusion to the Supreme Tao Master.

'Tsk, this mental state is truly as repulsive as a foul stone in a pit,' Qingyu thought helplessly.

Supreme Forgetfulness, this mental state might not be invincible, but it is certainly flawless. It's pure fantasy to think of attacking the Supreme Tao Master from a mental standpoint.

"Fine, continuing the fight is not my intention, so let me give the Daoist a break."

Qingyu's figure merged into the lava, instantly severing the Qi mechanism, vanishing without a trace.

When leaving, it's best to be decisive. Otherwise, if another chaotic battle erupts, it would be unpleasing.

Seeing Qingyu disappear, with the Supreme Tao Master still intently watching him, giving no chance to track, Sword God could only leave helplessly.

Fighting with the Supreme Tao Master is not a wise choice. For he is a warrior of equal strength, and Qingyu might still be secretly observing this place.

If it were Sword God, he might try and test Supreme Tao Master with his sword, but Sword God...

On departure, Sword God looked meaningfully at the Supreme Tao Master, seemingly aware of the Supreme Tao Master's intentions.

Supreme Unbeaten, this ultimate skill, Sword God—an ancient relic living nearly a thousand years—knows it well. If he were willing to fight, the Supreme Tao Master would certainly not shy away from engaging him with a few moves.

Seeing his intentions revealed, the Supreme Tao Master could only let it go. He flew out from the circular hole he had struck earlier and left the place.

This region returned to tranquility again. Without the battle between two strong individuals, the lava also gradually ceased, but the aftermath of the disaster remained.

On the land of Hong Province, the earth cracked, mountains collapsed, and many black smoke rose, with fires spreading. These were all caused by the erupted lava.

Nobody knows how many living beings have suffered from this calamity.

"Amitabha, those two benefactors truly committed great sins."

On a mountain peak, a young monk dressed in a moon-white robe gazed at the post-disaster land of Hong Province, his face showing compassion and helpless sighs.

"Monk, why feign compassion? They are not as miserable as the Demon Buddha entering the Central Plains. If according to your plan, that is the true sin."

The elusive voice seemed to come from all directions, speaking close to the ear, yet causing not a hint of air fluctuation, its Qi mechanism purely natural, blending with heaven and earth, leaving no flaw.

The young monk slowly moved his prayer beads, merely reciting the 'Rebirth Scripture', showing no intention to respond to that voice.

And that voice, as if it never appeared, remained silent.

Time went by slowly, about a moment and a half later, a figure materialized from virtual to real, appearing not far from the young monk.

"Xinyuan." The figure said blandly.

The monk ceased his hand movements, opened his slightly closed eyes, and said to the figure, "Amitabha, Supreme Tao Master, the humble monk greets you."

"Where is he?"

"The humble monk does not know."

Xinyuan looked calmly at this world's number one person and said, "But the humble monk knows, his target is one of those two."

Those two? Qingyu or Sword God.

The Supreme Tao Master immediately thought of these two, because in their hands are the Demonic Qi and Tribulation Device that restrain Xuan Yuan One Qi. If one wishes to deal with the Supreme Tao Master, the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sky Demon Qi and that Tribulation Device are the best means.

As he finished speaking, Xinyuan closed his eyes again and continued to recite the scripture.

After getting the answer, the Supreme Tao Master did not linger, his figure becoming virtual and disappearing.

He did not act against Xinyuan; the two seemed to have an invisible understanding with no hostility.

························

Qingyu walked out of the lava pool, his tattered white clothes being repaired by Taisu Energy.

He left as he was, and returned as he was.

"Congratulations to the Lord Daoist on defeating the enemy and returning." Xuan Yin Sword Residence and others, upon seeing this, all congratulated in unison.

"This can't be considered defeating the enemy."

To kill Sword God, Qingyu would not be able to. At least for now, he cannot. But Qingyu had no intention of explaining further.

He sheathed his sword and lightly adjusted his attire, saying, "You've waited long; I did not expect this battle to persist for more than two and a half days."

The great battle lasted two and a half days, causing the disaster on the ground to persist over two days. This disaster brought Qingyu many Villain Points, enough to buy two volumes of 'Soldier Armor Martial Scripture' when added to the previous reserve.

"Daoist, a day ago, Young Master Yun came from Ling Province, saying there is an important matter regarding the Jiang Family. Mistress has arranged for her to stay at the Lian Family." Lian Feihong stepped forward and said.

"Lead the way," Qingyu said.
