From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

"Quick! We're almost at the school gate!"

"Hold on! Once we're out, we'll be safe!"

Tens of thousands of students rapidly fled towards the outside, but during the escape, clusters of fireballs in the sky kept crashing down towards them.

Boom boom boom—

Dozens of Cultivation Department tutors constantly blocked the fireballs aimed at the students, their arms already charred and bleeding profusely.

Even though they put up such desperate resistance against the falling fireballs, many students were still struck dead on the spot. After all, those tens of thousands were simply too many for just a dozen tutors to protect.

Moreover, the students from the Cultivation System couldn't block the fireballs raining down from the sky and could only drag the injured students behind them, fleeing outside.

Seeing the students' corpses burnt and lives snatched away by flames, and hearing the cries of those covered in blood struggling on the ground, many tutors felt an unprecedented amount of heartache.

The entire campus was like hell itself!

Just as they were about to leave the campus, the students at the front suddenly stopped.

"What's going on!" a tutor bellowed.

"Tutor! The gate is completely blocked with wrecked cars, and they're still exploding!" a student from the Cultivation System yelled.

Boom—

Just as the student finished speaking, a truck on the road outside exploded, blowing several cars into the air.

Bang bang—

Several Cultivation System students immediately flew up to block the flying cars.

At this moment, a tutor who had gone out to scout the road conditions in the distance returned with a look of desperation, "It's no use. We can't get out; even if there was nothing blocking the way, an area of five miles outside is covered by the Void Beast's power!

Whether we go or stay, there's almost no difference!"

"What! Five miles?"

"Then even if we make it out, we'll almost all be dead!"

"It's over... Are we going to die like this!"

"Why is this monster appearing here! Damn it!"

...

More than ten thousand students roared in despair, many girls' faces streaked with tears as they wailed, and a few Cultivation System students even flew out on their swords.

But before they got far, without the tutors' protection, they were directly hit by the fireballs from the sky and lost their lives.

Meanwhile, under the cover of the ruins of a teaching building, Jian Qi'er was taking a Night Walk Robe out of the Space Ring given to her by Fang Ren.

She was determined to save Fang Ren. Even if Fang Ren chose not to join the Nightfall Organization, she needed to rescue him. A genius in medicine like him simply couldn't die here; he still had more miracles to create, more to contribute to human society.

Putting that aside, just the fact that Fang Ren had given her a Space Ring was enough reason for her to save him. Even if he would never be part of her life in the future, even if he might become an enemy of the Nightfall Organization, her sense of obligation was clear.

However, before she could put on the Night Walk Robe, several fireballs from the sky crashed down around her.

Her True Qi immediately erupted, and she drew a long sword from the Space Ring to strike.

Bang—

But as she swung her sword, she was blasted away, crashing into the ruins of the teaching building, her head buzzing.

"Fourth-order Space Beast... so powerful..."

She struggled to get up, but before she could stand, another fireball crashed beside her, knocking her out cold.

On the sports field, the huge body of the Void Beast kept moving towards the path, as blue flames gathered to a climax inside its nearly fifty-meter-wide maw.

Fang Ren clenched his teeth and urged his True Qi, pouring the energy from his Spiritual Root massively into Mu Huanqing's wrist. He could see her meridians rapidly healing. Just a little more, just a tiny bit more!

Mu Huanqing held him, filled with shock in her eyes. She could feel the red energy from the grey twig healing her body's meridians at an incredible rate. And as her meridians continued to mend, she could feel her Spiritual Root beginning to revive.

"This power..."

Mu Huanqing looked at the pained Fang Ren, her stunning face furrowed with concern.

She felt an overwhelming fear mixed with complexity. If she didn't regain her cultivation abilities, she and the man she loved would die, but if her powers returned, would she become what Ah Ran had described last night?

No one would agree to their union, and countless people would want to tear them apart—their relationship would be opposed by all of humanity.

But what could be done? She didn't want Fang Ren to die. As for the future, she would think about it when it came.

Ah Ran didn't yet know her identity; he must have thought purely of helping her heal her meridians so that they all could survive, but she knew very well what would happen next.

Giggle giggle giggle—

She could feel her meridians completely restored, the Immortal Qi from her Spiritual Root flooding her body like a tide. Her black pupils turned silver, shining with a brilliant silver light.

Feeling Mu Huanqing's meridians restored, Fang Ren's expression turned even more tortured; the branches on his body still connected to her wrist; he couldn't quite believe what he perceived happening to her.

Her Spiritual Root... Immortal Qi... Xuan Nv...

How could this be...

Seeing Fang Ren's bloodied face, Mu Huanqing's eyes reddened, tears streaming down as she understood he had realized everything. She hugged him tightly, kissing him passionately on the lips.

Hum—

The blue flame pillar in the mouth of the Void Beast suddenly burst forth, piercing through the air, bathing the entire campus in blue light once more. The pillar, like a dragon swallowing skyscrapers, surged towards Fang Ren.

Firelight shot into the sky, the earth shook, and a cloud of dust filled the horizon.

"Ah Ran..."

More than ten thousand students at the school gate stood dumbfounded, a tumult of emotions swirling in their hearts. If it weren't for Fang Ren Ah Ran attracting the Void Beast, they doubted they would have been able to run as far as they had. But at that moment, fear dominated their hearts.

"Damn it... Did Ah Ran just... disappear like that?"

A group of people stared at the exploding scene, momentarily stunned.

Roar—

Seeing its strike connected, the Void Beast immediately turned and headed toward the school gate, where more than ten thousand people were gathered. Flames burst more violently from its body, and it began to gather another column of fire in its mouth.

Whiz whiz whiz—

Hundreds of blue fireballs were hurled towards the students at the school entrance.

"Scatter! Run wherever you can! Don't look back!"

A tutor roared as he charged with his longsword into the sky, while the students below scrambled in a panicked rush toward the school entrance—the scene grew even more chaotic.

"Scatter! Scatter!"

Other tutors seeing this kept shouting in the air, confronting the oncoming fireballs as they soared up.

But the group of students below had already lost their ability to judge for themselves, with many standing in place, staring blankly as the fireballs fell from the sky.

"We're done for... We're all going to die..."

Despair, despair was in the hearts of over ten thousand people.

Even the dozen tutors flying toward the sky were prepared for death. They could have escaped on their own strength, but somehow, facing this disaster and seeing their own students dying, from the bottom of their hearts, they didn't want to flee.

Just as Fang Ren Ah Ran had said to Mu Huanqing, the world is still beautiful, and there are always more good people than bad.

Just when everyone was in despair, suddenly a giant silver wheel appeared out of nowhere, blocking above the heads of more than ten thousand teachers and students.

A series of deafening explosions sounded, yet the people below were unscathed.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

"Are we... still alive?"

"Am I already dead? Cui Hua... hit me with your ten-centimeter-thick palm."

Slap—

"I'm still alive!"

"Look at the sky!"

"That is..."

Everyone looked up to the sky and saw a kilometer-wide giant wheel floating overhead. It spun continuously, emitting a sacred silver radiance, with complex patterns crisscrossing in order but without chaos, making one feel as if it contained the principles of heaven and earth.

Surrounding the perimeter of the silver wheel, strands of silver thread were connected to various complex weapons, spears, swords, halberds, lances... all in a sacred silver.

"Madame Xuan..."

"Isn't that Madame Xuan's Spirit Form?"

"Madame Xuan is still alive!"

"How is this possible! Am I already dead?"

A silver figure burst forth from the dust on the path below and flew towards the crowd at the school, stopping in front of Li Xingwang Jing Haichuan.

Everyone watched, stunned, as Mu Huanqing cradled Fang Ren Ah Ran in her arms, and with her other hand wrapped in silver True Qi, she held Lin Bozhong, descending from the sky with a holy presence.

She was no longer dressed in the school uniform but wore silver battle armor, crafted from True Qi. Her pupils had turned white, and an aura around her body made her unapproachable.

"Take good care of them."

Her silver eyes swept over the two young masters. Mu Huanqing set down Fang Ren Ah Ran and Lin Bozhong, then turned to fly up to the Silver Wheel.

Everyone forgot to speak, watching in awe as Mu Huanqing stood atop the Silver Wheel in the sky, unable to describe the shock in their hearts with words.

Sensing a threat to its life, the Fourth-order Void Beast became even more enraged. It aimed the blue flame gathering in its mouth towards Mu Huanqing.

Mu Huanqing waved her hand in the air, and the kilometer-sized Silver Wheel behind her instantly shrank to three meters, floating behind her. A thread on the Silver Wheel snapped, and a Silver Long Spear flew from the wheel into her hand.

"Heaven's Creation Divine Art! Slay!"

She whispered the incantation, and her voice echoed like thunder across the heavens.

The Spear in her hand shone with a cold light, drawing clouds in the entire sky toward her head.

She charged towards the Fourth-order Void Beast's fiery column as a beam of light with the Long Spear tearing through the surging fire that roared like a dragon, shattering the sky-filled fireballs with the silver light she emitted.

Like a meteor streaking across the sky, she pierced through the fire column, shattered the Void, and when her figure reappeared, she was already behind the Void Beast.

While the Void Beast was still roaring, preparing to turn and attack, a series of shattering sounds echoed across the sky.

Crack crack crack—

The massive body of the Void Beast fractured as it moved, with blue blood and entrails spurting into the sky; the small volcanoes on its back collapsed...and its head dropped to the ground instantaneously!
