Wu Shattered Star River

Mu Qingchen's injuries were not too severe; her treasured armor had withstood most of the damage.

She was now only two floating stones away from the central floating stone, so she was very anxious.

She was thinking of finding a way out to reach the central floating stone as soon as possible and break this chess formation of 'defeating the heavens by half a move'.

As soon as she came out, she scanned with her soul power and quickly locked onto Jiang Han, also noticing that fire poker…

"Pui!"

"Jiang Han actually reached the fourteenth floating stone so quickly? Did he use some heaven-defying treasure? Fortunately, he didn't directly reach the central floating stone, otherwise the chess formation would have been broken by him!"

Mu Qingchen felt slightly fortunate.

She didn't hesitate for too long, scanning back and forth within her space ring, looking for treasures that could help her cross the floating stones.

Her protective magical items were almost used up.

She scanned several times and found that only one last protective magical item remained.

This treasure was inside her body, her last line of defense.

This treasure primarily protected the soul, but it could materialize to protect her physical body.

If this treasure were destroyed, her soul would be in great danger.

She felt somewhat conflicted, wondering if she should use this treasure.

This treasure was given to her by Daoist Zheng Yi, who had refined it for thousands of years, mainly to protect her soul.

Using it to protect her physical body was a bit of an overkill, and it could easily be destroyed.

"Forget it, I'll use it!"

Mu Qingchen ultimately decided to use it.

Treasures were inanimate, but opportunity was more important.

If she could break the chess formation, she could go into seclusion for a period of time and very likely break through to the ninth level of the Dao Ancestor Realm, which was better than any treasure.

She believed that Daoist Zheng Yi wouldn't say anything, and would instead commend her for doing the right thing.

"Buzz…"

A purple bead within her soul lit up, then appeared above her head, releasing a soft light.

She activated the purple bead, and it shone with a dazzling light, then streams of purple light flowed down quickly, forming a layer of soft armor around her body, covering her entirely.

"Swish, swish, swish, swish!"

All the long swords from her sword box flew out, and she prepared to use the flying swords to form a sword array, blocking the high temperature, and then rush through instantly.

She was prepared for all of these flying swords to be destroyed.

The flying swords were top-grade, made of special materials, but she could slowly refine them again later.

As long as she could reach the central floating stone, it would all be worth it.

"Ya~"

Yu Yu saw Mu Qingchen's movements and quickly stood up, looking towards Mu Qingchen.

She knew that Mu Qingchen was preparing for her final charge, and success depended on this.

Jiang Han was startled, and he quietly opened a slit in his eyes, looking towards Mu Qingchen, wanting to see if she could break through.

"Swish!"

Mu Qingchen was very decisive, her body diving into a flying sword, and then a dozen flying swords flew out.

The flying sword containing her body was protected in the middle by a dozen flying swords, which rotated at high speed, forming a powerful sword array.

"Whoosh, whoosh!"

The flames below immediately shot up.

This flying sword array was not bad, actually withstanding it for a moment.

This moment was enough for the flying swords to easily cross this area.

The flying swords sliced through the air, flying past the previous floating stone in an instant.

"Whoosh, whoosh!"

However, near the last floating stone, the spatial flames suddenly became extremely terrifying, the flame intensity feeling several times stronger than the other areas.

When the dozen flying swords flew out of the last floating stone, they were immediately covered by flames, and the flying swords melted one by one.

The flying sword hiding Mu Qingchen also couldn't withstand it and was incinerated, Mu Qingchen's body bursting out from inside the flying sword.

"It's over!"

Mu Qingchen was now between the fourteenth floating stone and the central statue floating stone.

As soon as she came out, she sensed it, her expression changing drastically, a fatal sense of crisis appearing in the depths of her soul.

A realization dawned on her: if she continued to fly forward, she would definitely die here, not just her physical body incinerated, but both body and soul annihilated.

She only had one path to take now, which was to retreat back to the fourteenth floating stone, then she would still have a chance to live.

However, if she retreated, her purple bead would also be destroyed, and she would no longer have any treasures.

She would be destined to be unable to rush to the fifteenth floating stone, unable to break the chess formation, and all her previous efforts would be in vain.

Jiang Han and Yu Yu could both guess Mu Qingchen's dilemma at this moment, and were waiting for her decision.

"Charge!"

In an instant, Mu Qingchen made a decision.

She was unwilling, she didn't want to give up, she wanted to take a gamble.

She used her own life as a bet, betting that she could rush through, betting that her ancestor wouldn't let her die.

She decided to use herself as a chess piece, taking the last step, to see if she could win the bet, to see if she could 'defeat the heavens by half a move'.

"Swish!"

Her figure transformed into a stream of light, like a moth flying into the flame, resolutely flying forward.

"Whoosh, whoosh!"

The flames below swept up, engulfing Mu Qingchen, and the soft armor outside Mu Qingchen's body burst into flames.

Then her entire body caught fire, but her eyes were still firm, without any hesitation, continuing to charge forward.

"Ya~"

Yu Yu let out a cry of alarm, her pretty face turning pale.

She watched Mu Qingchen rush forward, but after rushing for most of the distance, the soft armor outside her body was incinerated, and then the bead above her head exploded.

But Mu Qingchen still didn't stop, she actually continued to charge forward, her body beginning to burn with raging flames, her physical body being incinerated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Boom!"

Finally, Mu Qingchen still rushed through, but what crashed onto the central floating stone was a skeleton.

All the flesh and blood of her body had been incinerated, leaving only a charred skeleton.

"Wu~"

Yu Yu covered her mouth tightly with her hands, her eyes filled with fear and panic.

Her eyes stared fixedly at the skeleton that had crashed to the ground, her delicate body constantly trembling, and the hand covering her mouth was shaking.

She couldn't believe that just now, a living person, a beautiful woman who could topple cities and countries, had actually been watched turning into a skeleton, making it difficult for her to accept.

"Dead?"

Jiang Han was shocked and sat up at this moment, his eyes also filled with disbelief.

At the last moment, Jiang Han actually agreed with Mu Qingchen rushing forward, and admired Mu Qingchen's spirit of not fearing death.

He didn't think Mu Qingchen would die, because this was arranged by the Supreme God of Destiny, and he guessed that the Supreme God of Destiny would be secretly watching.

How could a Supreme God possibly watch their own descendants die in the great formation they had arranged?

"Swish!"

Jiang Han took a few glances and couldn't sit still any longer.

His body flashed, taking out the blue crystal from the Other Shore Space, then quickly flying towards the central floating stone.

He wanted to verify it, and also see if Mu Qingchen could still be saved?

If she could be saved, he would naturally be willing to help, then the favor he owed to the Mountain of Destiny would be great!
