880 Celestial Rivers Old Friend (2/2)

Yan'er protected the dragon qilin once more, and she felt the pressure growing stronger and stronger. Suddenly, the celestial river vanished once again, and both of them fell to the ground.

Yan'er gave a delicate shout and shook her body to transform into a dragon sparrow. Her body size was enormous and chubby. She raised her two huge wings to block in front of her as she looked warily at her surroundings.

Suddenly, the celestial river came attacking once more, nearly extinguishing the vermillion bird sacred flames on her body. Once again, they were smashed into the flower wall on the horizon.

'Strange, where is the water coming from?'

Qin Mu tested it once more, tormenting Yan'er and the dragon qilin beyond life and death.

And in the ruins of the High Emperor Celestial Heavens, which was in Fallen God Valley, Blind Elder Yi Shisheng was currently fishing out Celestial Venerable Ling's corpse. He had already been there for over forty thousand years.

Suddenly, this blind elder revealed an astonished look, and he muttered to himself, ”The water of the celestial river has become shallow... The water of the celestial river has never lessened before, why would it do so now?”

He became agitated. ”Could Teacher be about to break free? Is she going to be free from endless death?”

After a moment, the water of the celestial river returned back to its original water level.

Yi Shisheng was stunned.

After a moment, the water in the celestial river was reduced once again and returned back to normal before being reduced again.

Yi Shisheng stood beside the celestial river, and he was completely bewildered. He didn't know what was happening.

In the world of flowers inside the abyss of the Ruins of End, Qin Mu finally stopped his experiments and scratched his head. He muttered to himself, saying, ”The power of the hairpin is powerful enough, yet this isn't the reason Celestial Venerable Ling handed this hairpin to me. She wouldn't have given me this treasure without reason. However, what should I do to execute the true power of this hairpin? Unchanging substance, unchanging substance...”

He walked to and fro while pondering hard, and suddenly, his eyes lit up. He said urgently, ”What if I use Celestial Venerable Ling's divine art to activate this hairpin, what would happen? When an unchanging substance meets the unchanging divine art, there is bound to be some other transformation!”

He had deduced Celestial Venerable Ling's divine art on the ghost ship and acquired considerable learning. However, he was still far from recreating Celestial Venerable Ling's divine art.

And at that point, Celestial Venerable Ling had only finished the fledgling stage of her divine art, so one could imagine how complicated Celestial Venerable Ling's divine art of unchanging substance was.

Qin Mu grabbed the peachwood hairpin and tried to execute the incomplete divine art that Celestial Venerable Ling had created.

Yan'er and the dragon qilin saw him grabbing the hairpin once again, and their scalps crawled. They hurriedly went into hiding,

The celestial river appeared once again, but it wasn't as terrifying as it was before. A section of the celestial river's surface appeared in the sky, and it seemed to be extremely far from them.

There were layers of fog on the celestial river, and a woman wearing a leopard fur skirt and grass shoes could be faintly seen standing in the fog.

”Celestial Venerable Ling!” Qin Mu shouted loudly.

The woman in the leopard fur skirt and grass shoes seemed to hear his voice and turned around. The astonishment on her face turned into a smile.

She opened her mouth and wanted to speak when an incomparably gigantic shadow appeared in the fog behind her.

Qin Mu's expression changed drastically. ”Be careful, behind you!”

A beam of light appeared and pierced through Celestial Venerable Ling's chest. She was then lifted up and smashed into the celestial river.

Qin Mu froze on the spot, and a chill spread throughout his body.

In the celestial river, Celestial Venerable Ling's face was still facing him, and it was a long spear that had pierced through her body. The spear was in the hand of that gigantic shadow.

The smile on her face didn't fade away, and her voice faintly traveled over. ”Save me.”

That shadow in the fog closed in and seemed to want to break out from the restraints of Celestial Venerable Ling's divine art. He rushed at Qin Mu and wanted to break free from the endless cycles.

”Who exactly are you?”

Qin Mu shouted loudly, ”Show me your face!”

That figure rushed to the front section of the celestial river and leaped, trying to jump out. However, at this moment, the celestial river went into turmoil. He and Celestial Venerable Ling were swept away and vanished.

Qin Mu was stunned. He raised the peachwood hairpin and executed the divine art once again. The broken section of the celestial river appeared once more, and the scene repeated itself in front of him.

Celestial Venerable Ling was killed once again, and that shadow in the fog rushed out of the broken section, only to be swept back into Celestial Venerable Ling's unchanging divine art once more. However, he was much closer to the broken section this time, so Qin Mu could faintly see his face. However, it wasn't too clear.

This figure was trapped by Celestial Venerable Ling's divine art and could never jump out of the celestial river, he couldn't jump out of the cycle.

”Young Master, the undercurrent of the abyss is spewing out!”

Yan'er's cries rang out to wake Qin Mu up. ”The world in the flower is rising, we should be leaving here now!”

Qin Mu ignored her and executed the divine art once again. The world in the flower was rising, and the sky split apart. The twin lotuses were about to bloom.

In front of him, the torrential current of the celestial river surged up violently as the scene of the gigantic shadow killing Celestial Venerable Ling appeared once more. The shadow shrouded the heaven and earth as he rushed at the broken section again, heading straight for Qin Mu.

The world in the flower had bloomed completely, and outside was the Ruins of End. The dark celestial river hung in the sky, frozen. With one red lotus and one black lotus in the river, everything seemed extremely tranquil.

Yan'er and the dragon qilin looked at Qin Mu anxiously, and the dragon qilin cried out and said, ”Cult Master, if we don't go out, I don't know how long we will have to wait for the next undercurrent to spout!”

Finally, that huge shadow in the celestial river rushed to Qin Mu's face, and his face collided mercilessly with an invisible barrier. He still couldn't rush out of Celestial Venerable Ling's unchanging divine art.

He let out a furious roar and was swept away by the celestial river again, falling into the next cycle.

Qin Mu looked at that face in a daze. This time, he had finally seen the face of the owner.

Yan'er rushed over and transformed into a big fat bird that caught him and the dragon qilin before flying towards the sky that was about to close.

Finally, she managed to rush out of the world in the flower before the twin lotuses closed.

On the outside, the dark celestial river started to flow back, and the speed of the flow was becoming faster and faster. The attraction force of the abyss was also becoming stronger and stronger. Yan'er exerted all her strength and transformed her primordial spirit into a dragon sparrow as she fought against the force of attraction and pressure, flapping her wings to fly out.

Boom—

She crashed into Celestial Empress' side palace and knocked down countless palaces and corridors before finally coming to a stop.
