The old man was Ning Daozhen, the person Song Yan met in the Void back in the day. It was also this elder who gifted him the "Ascension Order," which allowed Song Yan to escape just before the Emperor’s Heart World was about to completely collapse...
At this moment, his hair and beard were fluttering, his gaze was indifferent, and his cloth shoes stepped steadily upon the darkness of the starry sky. As he pointed with a finger, the starry sky instantly gave off a feeling of sudden solidification.
Ning Yunmiao had long known her grandfather’s skills and spun around to retreat back to the Void Ship. Those thousands of white cranes stopped entangling with the Rusted Sword, instead returning to her and disappearing one by one into her Lifebound Realm.
The Rusted Sword lost its opponent but still relentlessly continued stabbing toward the Void Ship.
But they suddenly halted.
The endless Secret Realms, heaven, and earth all came to a stop.
Some mysterious and strange force suddenly yanked these many heavens and earth fiercely in an instant.
The blood beads wriggling on the sword’s body seemed like tadpoles frozen in place, maintaining a twisted posture.
"Grandfather, Junior Brother is fine! And he’s not fallen!" Ning Yunmiao stood on the deck and shouted again.
On the other side, the Han family sisters, along with Xiao Bing, were trembling all over.
Song Yan, however, was curiously and gravely observing, pondering in his heart, "What is this power?" Yet, on the surface, he stood respectfully and solemnly, respectfully saluting the elder and called out, "Senior, I finally see you!"
Ning Daozhen gave him a smile and said, "Little Song."
Song Yan replied, "Yes!"
Ning Daozhen extended a finger to drag along the countless Rusted Swords and then said, "Watch closely."
As his words fell, the finger he extended slightly reversed and tapped gently, knocking the Void.
Song Yan did not understand the significance of this action.
But in the next instant...
Dong——
It was as if a giant struck the doors of heaven and earth, and the doors opened, revealing snowflake-like chaotic spatial fragments swirling fiercely, capable of easily destroying entities of the Profound Yellow Second Realm. Yet deeper within, it seemed as if some power was echoing the elder’s casual knocking.
Song Yan widened his eyes and saw colors suddenly appear in the depth of the black-gray shattered Void:
Gold-red!
Silver-white!
The gold-red was fire, and the silver-white was also fire.
The rich aura of Starfire, along with a familiar sensation, suddenly made Song Yan realize what this was: it was the Fire of Taiyin and Taiyang, but no longer a projection fire, rather... the true fire!
The Taiyin True Flame appeared like liquid moonlight beneath Ning Daozhen’s feet, frosting the space as it moved; the Taiyang True Flame transformed into countless forms of Golden Crows, spreading their wings and roaring, incinerating everything without leaving ashes.
The two intertwined and quickly formed a yin-yang fish-shaped sea of gold and white flames.
At the instant the sea of fire appeared, Ning Daozhen raised his hand to grasp from afar.
In an instant, the Rusted Swords moved toward his direction, turning into fuel thrown into the swirling gold and white seas of flames around him.
