Chapter 1450: The Shore Of The Gods

After a bloody battle, Yi Feng increasingly felt the reality of the world he was in. His body and mind had completely merged with the White-Clothed Sword God of this life. All the grievances, affections, and hatreds felt so real, as if they were his own experiences.

That bloody battle not only alarmed neighboring countries but also caused Yi Feng's state of mind to surge, propelling him onto a higher level of martial arts. At the same time, he formed a life-and-death bond with a black-clothed youth, whom he regarded as his lifelong confidant.

In a world of deceit and self-interest, having such a confidant was something to die for without regret.

Thus, Yi Feng deeply immersed himself in what he believed to be a virtual life, completely forgetting everything about reality.

Meanwhile.

At the edge of the universe in the real world, astonishing explosions continued unabated.

A golden-haired young man exuded a cold aura, his eyes gleaming with a frosty light. His entire being was as sharp as the long blade in his hand, having reached the realm of unity between man and blade, radiating an invincible presence.

Standing alone at the edge of the universe, he had been gripping his long blade tightly, continuously slashing forward for who knows how long!

The blade's light struck the seemingly empty darkness, only to be deflected by a suddenly appearing golden barrier. The terrifying forces collided repeatedly, producing deafening roars!

"Boom! Boom!"

The shockwaves reverberated into the distance, occasionally pulverizing passing meteorites into dust!

Despite this.

The golden-haired young man never ceased his slashing, as stubborn and unyielding as he had been in his youth. His long blade swung relentlessly, causing the barrier's light to flicker, far from its initial dazzling brilliance. The shockwaves rippled through the depths of the universe like waves!

"Boom! Boom!"

After prolonged slashing, the roars seemed to grow weaker.

The triggered golden barrier had long lost its former might, now fading to a pale gold, as if it could no longer withstand the terrifying force of the blade's light.

Yet, even so, what lay beyond the barrier remained indistinct, only a vague glimpse of a chaotic, formless world.

Seeing this, Zhong Qing's gaze grew even more resolute. He continued to swing his long blade, his determined expression unchanged from when he practiced slashing straw dummies in his youth.

"Boom! Boom!"

With even more ferocious swings, after thousands of slashes, the barrier's light dimmed slightly once more.

It seemed as if the barrier might soon be breached.

Zhong Qing's attacks grew fiercer, the blade's light like a storm!

At that moment.

A deep voice echoed from within the barrier!

"Stop!"

"Who dares disturb the peace of the gods!"

"Do you know that this is the Shore of the Gods, a place no mortal should tread? If you do not cease immediately and continue to disturb the gods' peace, you will face utter annihilation!"

The solemn voice carried an undeniable authority!

As the voice spread, the scattered star fragments around came to a halt, as if imbued with a power beyond human comprehension, capable of shaking the very fabric of the universe!

Yet.

Zhong Qing remained unmoved, his blade swinging without the slightest hesitation. No matter the authority of the voice, it could not sway him in the slightest.

In this world.

Aside from his master, no one could change his mind.

His stubborn slashes grew even more rapid, his expression more resolute!

Seeing this, and Zhong Qing's unyielding disregard, curses erupted from within the barrier, the mysterious beings within seething with rage.

"Bastard!"

"How dare you ignore the might of the gods!?"

"This is the Shore of the Gods. If you continue to disturb the gods' peace, you will face utter annihilation!"

No matter the curses or threats, Zhong Qing remained unmoved. The mysterious figures within trembled, their voices tinged with panic!

"This is bad. If this continues, the barrier might be breached!"

"When this boy first arrived, he didn't seem particularly remarkable. We thought nothing of him. Yet, in just a few years, through sheer stubbornness, he has shaken the barrier set by the gods themselves. This is unbelievable!"

"His unyielding spirit is rare, and his blade's intent has grown profound. What is his origin?"

"Now that things have taken a turn for the worse, we must act!"

"Even so, this supreme barrier was set by the gods themselves. Even we cannot step out in our true forms. How can we stop him?"

"Perhaps we can only form a combined avatar to step out and stop him!"

The figures grew more anxious. After exchanging glances, they channeled their divine energy.

In an instant, several strands of supreme energy coalesced, forming a terrifying avatar—a towering, white-haired old man with a long beard and flowing robes, exuding an immortal aura.

The avatar stepped out of the barrier, its beard and robes fluttering as it condensed a powerful palm strike, descending like a mountain upon Zhong Qing!

Seeing the sudden appearance of the robed avatar, Zhong Qing's eyes flashed with cold light!

Gripping his long blade with both hands, he slashed vertically. A golden blade light erupted, cleaving the avatar in two, dispersing it into mist in the vast universe.

After the slash.

Zhong Qing continued to slash at the barrier, his movements seamless, as if it were effortless.

Witnessing this, the figures within the barrier were aghast!

"This!"

"Impossible!"

"Even if it was just an avatar, it was formed by our combined power. Even a lesser god couldn't withstand it. How could he destroy it with a single slash!"

"What is this boy's origin? Could he be a mid-tier god?!"

As they were struck with fear, a figure appeared behind them, bellowing in anger!

"Fools!"

"You were tasked with guarding the gods' barrier, yet you can't even handle an outsider. You are unworthy of being lesser gods. How dare you stand among us at the Shore of the Gods!"

Hearing this, the figures trembled, their eyes filled with shame and anger.

But when they sensed the terrifying aura behind them, their faces turned pale. They dared not retort or even look back, bowing deeply in apology.

"Your words are just, we are incompetent..."

"We beg for your assistance, lest the gods' barrier be damaged, affecting the peace of the Shore of the Gods!"

As their trembling voices fell, the mysterious newcomer snorted.

He then threw a punch, and the fist's shadow easily passed through the gods' barrier. Its power and aura far surpassed the combined avatar of the previous figures!

"Boom!"

The fist's shadow instantly expanded a thousandfold, shining like a star before Zhong Qing!

Even though it was just a shadow, the terrifying pressure made Zhong Qing's expression turn grave. He swung his blade with all his might, sending a golden light thousands of feet long to meet it!

The two terrifying forces collided, shaking the depths of the universe!

But in the instant after the collision, Zhong Qing's blade light dissipated, while the terrifying fist's shadow continued to grow. His blade light no longer had its previous overwhelming force, revealing the gap in their cultivation levels.

The owner of this fist's shadow was indeed a formidable foe!

Knowing the gravity of the situation, Zhong Qing felt no fear. He continued to swing his blade, sending countless blade lights toward the star-like fist's shadow!

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

In an instant, the blade lights formed a net, relentlessly striking the fist's shadow!

The star-like fist's shadow and the countless blade lights collided, the force gradually weakening. Yet, residual shockwaves still surged toward Zhong Qing, forcing him to retreat repeatedly.

Just as he managed to neutralize the terrifying punch, he was already heavily drained, with several injuries of varying sizes. He began to gasp for breath!

Before Zhong Qing could catch his breath, another fist's shadow loomed over him like a mountain!

At this moment, Zhong Qing's eyes widened!

He had not yet reached his peak strength and knew he could not withstand the star-like fist's shadow. Even if he gave his all, the outcome would likely be dire!

In this moment of extreme peril.

Suddenly!

A fist's shadow shot out from behind Zhong Qing, heading straight for the star-like fist's shadow!

In comparison, the two fist's shadows were vastly different.

The newly appeared fist's shadow was of ordinary size, its faint glow like a speck of light. The skeletal fingers within the shadow seemed fragile, utterly incomparable to the star-like fist's shadow. It seemed as if the two shadows would collide and the smaller one would be obliterated.

But in the next instant.

As the two fist's shadows collided, the star-like shadow disintegrated into dust. The residual energy fled like a frightened dog, retreating into the depths of the barrier!

After this move, silence reigned.

Only the skeletal fingers elegantly retracted beside Zhong Qing's ear, producing a crisp sound.

Catching a glimpse of the hand, Zhong Qing turned in excitement.

Only then did he see a small skeleton standing with arms crossed, a faint smile on its face. It was unclear how long it had been standing there, as Zhong Qing had not noticed it at all.

After many years.

This figure was still as dashing as ever, his moves domineering and invincible. His trendy sneakers and skinny jeans exuded undiminished charm, complementing his faint smile, embodying the carefree spirit of a wanderer.

Seeing him again, Zhong Qing's eyes filled with emotion and surprise, his voice trembling slightly.

"Why have you come?"
