The Empress’s Blind Consort: Invincible in Secret

Vol2 – Chapter 10 – I am the Space-Time Sword Saint – part 3

The treasures of the Wuyatian Sect were truly abundant, making Meng Qingzhou's eyes light up with desire.

First, Duan Wuchou had three sticks of Realm-Ending Incense, and now he had taken out an Emperor Grade treasure, a 'No Distance' artifact divine, capable of traversing any restriction, ignoring distances, and crossing countless territories in an instant.

Legend had it that with the Emperor Grade treasure 'Inch of Infinity' and the activation of great divine powers, as long as there was enough spiritual energy, one could reach the ends of the heavens.

"Young one, prepare to die!"

The Blood Sea Emperor wasted no words, making a grasping motion through the air.

Although it was a casual move, once executed, it could injure even a Sea Covering Realm cultivator, let alone a mortal like Meng Qin.

"Qingzhou!" Dongfang Liuli's heart seemed to stop for a beat, ready to reveal her strength regardless of the consequences.

"Don't worry, they can't kill me."

Meng Qingzhou heard the call, calmly grasped Dongfang Liuli's hand, and smiled softly.

Suddenly, a river of time tore through the void, like the Milky Way descending from the heavens, turning the surrounding scenery gray and white.

Only a distinct black figure stood at the end of the river of time, looking back 'down' at them.

That person softly uttered a word: "Stop!"

Ripples of time and space spread from the end of the river, and in the blink of an eye, they reached the Blood Sea Emperor, turning him gray and white.

The Blood Sea Emperor's pupils shrank, recalling the siege on the Empress half a month ago when he was trapped in a loop by the Space-Time Sword Saint, barely escaping, only to be caught in the explosion of Black Star.

Afterward, the Blood Sea Emperor was bedridden for seven days and nights, using various precious elixirs at great cost to barely recover to his peak state.

Now, that nightmare had returned, and cold sweat dripped from the Blood Sea Emperor's forehead as he struggled to speak:

"Quick... attack..."

The Space-Time Sword Saint, standing at the end of the river of time, took a step forward, altering the river's course, making the endpoint the starting point, and he himself appeared before the Blood Sea Emperor.

"You... deserve to die." The Space-Time Sword Saint said coldly, lightly touching the Blood Sea Emperor's forehead, his fingertip piercing through his head, shattering his divine soul.

"Mid Moon Shine Realm, combined with Three Purities One Breath, three shadow clones fused, approaching the combat power of an early Morning Glow Realm Great Being."

The Sword Saint clenched his fist, exhaling a breath of turbid air.

With an Emperor Grade constitution—the Heavenly Fortune Body—and the Blind Strength System, the vast spiritual energy accumulated within Meng Qingzhou had long reached its limit.

"It seems I still have some strength left. If I wish, I can break through to the late Moon Shine Realm at any time."

"By then, I can fight mid Morning Glow Realm Great Beings."

Cracks appeared on the Blood Sea Emperor's forehead, and a gurgling sound came from his throat as blood blocked it, rendering him speechless. But his terrified eyes betrayed his fear.

In just half a month, the Space-Time Sword Saint had grown even stronger!

Previously, the Space-Time Sword Saint had held off twelve half-step Morning Glow cultivators alone, an astonishing feat, but it was merely a delaying tactic, unable to kill or exhaust the enemies.

But now, the Space-Time Sword Saint could instantly kill a half-step Morning Glow cultivator, leaving no time for others to rescue.

"Demon..." The Blood Sea Emperor's eyes lost their light, and he fell back with a crash, completely dead.

On both sides of the battlefield, millions of cultivators witnessed the river of time breaking through the universe, descending upon the Map of Mountains and Rivers, and forcefully killing the Blood Sea Emperor.

The hidden Great Beings from other forces, watching from afar, communicated secretly:

"The Space-Time Sword Saint is growing stronger; no one can stop his steps. He is destined to become invincible!"

"Unfortunately, the Space-Time Sword Saint is too arrogant. I have extended olive branches several times, only to be ruthlessly rejected. He only wants to guard his mortal master. How foolish!"

"Such a remarkable person, if he cannot join us, should be eliminated early!"

...

...

On the other side of the battlefield, Sister Qiong fought alone against five Morning Glow Realm Old Ancestors, but she couldn't reveal her identity or use great divine powers, relying only on her physical strength.

Because of this, the battle was extremely difficult.

"Who is this person? Her physical strength rivals that of a dragon and elephant. One of my great divine powers hit her face and bounced back!" The Old Ancestor of Great Qian cursed angrily.

Old Ancestor Taotie looked bitterly at his lifelong divine weapon, now chipped, while the 'fake Empress' before him remained unscathed, leisurely tidying her clothes.

"Who is the true descendant of a Divine Beast here? I, with the bloodlines of Glutton, lost in physical strength." Old Ancestor Taotie doubted his life.

However.

Sister Qiong ignored them, turning to look at the river of time piercing the universe, momentarily stunned.

"Master..."

"Is it you who has returned?"

Sister Qiong remembered their first meeting, when Master had also descended unexpectedly, crossing the void on a river of time, just like today.

But back then, the river of time under the Sword Saint Master's feet was like a mighty river, far wider than the narrow path before her now.

Suddenly, Sister Qiong seemed to realize something, her expression changing drastically.

"Master, be careful!!!"

Sister Qiong was so anxious that she wanted to abandon Old Ancestor Taotie and the Old Ancestor of Great Qian to rush to the Sword Saint Master's aid.

But Old Ancestor Taotie and the others wouldn't let her go, entangling her relentlessly.

"Don't push me!" Sister Qiong's eyes turned blood-red, ready to devour anyone in her path.

"So what if we push you? We can't hurt you, but your punches are too light to harm us..."

Sister Qiong lost her patience, not bothering to listen, her fist enveloped in a dragon's shadow. With a punch, it was like the heavens themselves, making mortals bow to the Sage.

And under this punch, Old Ancestor Taotie was the mortal!

Boom!!!

Old Ancestor Taotie, who had just been boasting, had a fist imprint on his cheek, embedded deep into the ground.

"Master!"

In Sister Qiong's anxious gaze, she saw the Hidden Sword Lord activating his divine sword, unleashing Morning Glow Realm power, and leading several half-step Morning Glow cultivators to attack the Space-Time Sword Saint.

She heard the Hidden Sword Lord's greedy voice: "Give me your Sword Sense of Time and Space, and help me break through to Morning Glow, even to the Sky-Supporting Realm!"

She also saw the Sect Master of the Wuyatian Sect quietly activating the Emperor Grade treasure 'Inch of Infinity.'

Then, four Morning Glow Realm cultivators descended upon the Map of Mountains and Rivers, standing silently behind the Space-Time Sword Saint, looking down coldly at him.

Five Morning Glow, seven half-step Morning Glow!

For the mid Moon Shine Realm Space-Time Sword Saint, it was undoubtedly a death sentence.

This battle erupted in Sister Qiong's tearful eyes. The Space-Time Sword Saint fought left and right but was ultimately overwhelmed.

"A bunch of rats." The Space-Time Sword Saint, covered in blood, collapsed, the river of time disappearing, leaving him sitting on the ground in a sorry state.

The Hidden Sword Lord grinned hideously:

"I'll take your Sword Sense of Time and Space!"

Splat!

A sword pierced through the Space-Time Sword Saint's forehead, blood flowing, his lifeless eyes losing their light, dying on the spot.

The Sword Saint, dead!

Dongfang Liuli wanted to intervene but was tightly held by Meng Qingzhou.

"Why?" Dongfang Liuli's eyes were red. She had the power to prevent the tragedy but was stopped by Meng Qingzhou, unable to help but question.

That was your disciple!

How could you be so cold-blooded, watching your disciple die without a ripple of emotion!?

"I'm sorry, Qingzhou, it's my fault your disciple died tragically, but rest assured, the Empress will avenge him!" Dongfang Liuli said.

But a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

After all, as a mortal, it's normal to be fearful. Perhaps my expectations were too high, always defining others by my standards.

Dongfang Liuli shook her head, many thoughts flashing through her mind, but she never expected Meng Qingzhou to be so cold-blooded today.

"Meng Qingzhou!!!"

A hysterical roar came from afar. Sister Qiong, seeing this scene, was filled with hatred and killing intent towards Meng Qingzhou.

Millions of cultivators on both sides of the battlefield were immersed in the shock of the Sword Saint's death, unable to recover for a long time, and no one noticed Sister Qiong...

"Meng Qingzhou, I will kill you!"

Sister Qiong seemed possessed, muttering madly: "Master, you misjudged him. Your master... is a complete coward. How can such a person be worthy of being your master!?"

"He caused your death, and the seven major forces... the Empress! They are all your murderers! I will avenge you!"

"I've waited for thirty thousand years..."

"Thirty thousand years!!!"

This scene made Old Ancestor Taotie and the others look at each other in shock, their expressions extremely strange, as if asking: 'Is this woman crazy?'

'Should we still fight her?'

'Fight my ass! Can't you see she's about to turn against us?'

'Hah! Reaping the benefits of a fisherman, allies turning into enemies, interesting...'

The Hidden Sword Lord suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "The Space-Time Sword Saint is fake?!"

Everyone's eyes focused, seeing the dead Space-Time Sword Saint's body and Dao turning into specks of light, scattering without a trace.

"Damn!?" The Hidden Sword Lord was dumbfounded. He had fought so hard for the Sword Sense of Time and Space, only to see the cooked duck fly away!

"Uh..." Sister Qiong's crazed eyes suddenly cleared, her crying abruptly stopping, turning into sobs.

Sister Qiong's blood-red eyes faded, scratching her head in confusion.

The Sword Saint Master, not dead?!

"Huh?" Dongfang Liuli was stunned, looking at Meng Qingzhou beside her...

"Hey! Where is he?"

Meng Qingzhou, who had been standing next to her, was now nowhere to be seen!

At this moment.

A soft sigh echoed across the battlefield, a sound so distant it seemed to come from ancient times.

Meng Qingzhou slowly lifted his blind staff, gripping the handle with his other hand, and pulled it out...

Zing!!!

The sword's cry was like a dragon's roar, raising waves thousands of feet high, splitting the clear air of heaven and earth in two!

Whoosh!!!

A wider river of time and space, like a king's path, roared and broke through the spatial barrier, as a young man with a black silk covering his eyes, holding a three-foot sword, walked calmly.

This figure was shrouded in the shadow of time, seemingly existing in a different time and space, not in the same ancient history!

"Qingzhou..." Dongfang Liuli's mind exploded with countless thoughts, her mind a mess, her eyes empty, her red lips slightly parted.

The dignified Empress of Great Jin, always calm and composed, was now shocked to the point of losing her composure.

In those few seconds, Dongfang Liuli's mind flashed through memories of meeting, knowing, and accompanying Meng Qingzhou, each scene passing by like a lantern.

She also heard Meng Qingzhou's words echoing in her ears:

"My lifelong ambition is to be a carefree mortal."

"You mean the Nine Suns Burning Heart Lotus? Oh, that was given by a white-bearded old man."

"This is my disciple—Qian Yuan Sword Saint..."

"I'm afraid that after a hundred years, I'll be left alone in the world. Liuli, I want to spend my years with you!"

......

......

"Liar." Dongfang Liuli staggered back, her chest heaving violently, biting her lip until it bled.

Dongfang Liuli looked up at the figure that had silenced the battlefield, asking:

"Who are you really?"

Meng Qingzhou sighed softly and said, "I am the Space-Time Sword Saint. Qian Yuan... is just one of my clones."

Even though Dongfang Liuli knew the truth, hearing Meng Qingzhou say it still shook her heart.

The Space-Time Sword Saint was Meng Qingzhou!

So...

He was never a Sage, not the legendary omniscient prophet.

He was always a cultivator, just wanting to live an ordinary life as a Sword Saint.

Dongfang Liuli's heart pounded, her face turning red like a ripe peach, stunningly beautiful.

"If you're not a Sage, how did you know about the King of Shu's impending rebellion?" Dongfang Liuli asked again.

Meng Qingzhou frowned in confusion.

A Sage??

Although puzzled, he knew Dongfang Liuli had many questions now, so he didn't ask back.

"The Dao of Space-Time." Meng Qingzhou said calmly.

Just four words, leaving her to guess, because he didn't know how to explain it either.

Predicting the plot back then was because he didn't expect to reveal his identity. A mortal predicting the future would at most be seen as a madman or someone with some strange ability, not warranting investigation.

Once his identity was exposed, it would be different, surely raising suspicion.

Dongfang Liuli nodded, continuing to ask:

"Are you really blind!?"

"And, did you truly mean it when you said you wanted to spend your years with me!?"

"In front of me, are you your true self, or are you hiding and pretending..."

These were the most important questions to Dongfang Liuli.

Meng Qingzhou said calmly:

"First, I am blind, completely blind."

"Second, I have only made one heartfelt promise. If it is false, let heaven, earth, and gods strike me down!"

"Third, in front of you, I am my true self, a living person with flesh and blood."

【PS: A combined chapter! The identity is revealed! Some readers might worry that the story will become boring after the protagonist's identity is revealed. I can responsibly say, absolutely not!

In fact, the truly exciting plot begins after the protagonist's identity is revealed! Please believe me, dear readers!】
