NOVPUB"Are you the one who proclaimed you’d annihilate our Extinct Heaven Sect?" came the faint voice of a grey-clothed elder, as the three Divine Vein Realm elders descended.
"Indeed," Xu Zimei grasped Extinct Heaven Saint Heir firmly, stepped into the void, and faced the three from a distance as he spoke.
Meanwhile, those Talented Disciples below, upon witnessing the arrival of the three elders, also started to discuss among themselves in astonishment.
"These must be the former Sect Masters from the previous generations of the Extinct Heaven Sect."
"Exactly, Jue Hen, Jue Huang, and Jue Mie, the three Sect Masters."
"It looks like the Extinct Heaven Sect has undergone considerable bloodshed this time, waking the three former Sect Masters from the Dust Blood Coffin."
"Who on earth is this guy, having such audacity?
If he survives this, our Shenghua domain might have yet another ruthless figure."
"It’s just unclear how he measures up against Emperor Yue and Xiao Bufan."
Leaving aside the conversations below, dark clouds began rolling in the sky above at that moment.
Looking at Xu Zimei, Jue Huang said indifferently, "Release our Sect’s Saint Heir, and there may still be room for negotiation."
"Really?" Xu Zimei sneered, tearing off an arm of the Extinct Heaven Saint Heir.
As blood scattered, the Extinct Heaven Saint Heir cried out in agony.
Jue Huang’s pupils contracted as his Divine Vein Realm aura surged around him like a raging river, gradually spreading out.
"It seems you’re quite confident!"
"I’ve always been confident," Xu Zimei laughed, casually tearing apart both legs of the Extinct Heaven Saint Heir.
"Bold move, just don’t be overconfident."
The three Divine Vein Realm Elders bellowed and charged straight towards Xu Zimei.
With a light chuckle, Xu Zimei waved his hand, and the massive figure of Chaos appeared in front of him.
The space before him shattered layer by layer, and a blast of pressurized air shot up into the sky.
"What is this thing?" someone exclaimed from below at the sudden appearance of Chaos.
After a long stare, a Talented Disciple finally said, "This might be a Vein Beast."
"A Vein Beast?" someone’s expression turned to shock.
"I’ve seen Monster Beasts of the Wild Desolation bloodline, but this is my first time seeing an Ancient Monster Beast of this existence."
Many looked at Xu Zimei’s silhouette, which seemed to be shrouded in layers of mist.
It became even more mysterious.
Being able to use a Divine Vein Realm Monster Beast as one’s own Vein Beast certainly indicated that his identity was no simple matter.
At the moment Chaos appeared, the three Divine Vein Realm elders also wore grave expressions.
True Fates emerged behind them, their might seemingly splitting heaven and earth as they charged towards Chaos.
Chaos, facing three alone, with Styx’s help nearby, actually managed to press the three Divine Vein Realm elders.
......
"Kill me, please, just kill me," the neighboring Extinct Heaven Saint Heir gasped for breath, his body already soaked in blood.
Without his arms and legs, he lay on the ground like a heap of mush, begging Xu Zimei.
"Don’t rush, just slowly die in this agony," Xu Zimei said, smiling as he looked towards the Teleportation Array.
No one else came through the Teleportation Array, and Xu Zimei’s posture was commanding, with Tyrant Shadow raised above his head.
A Wu Geng’s Blade Qi cleaved down from above, and with a loud "boom," the Teleportation Array completely shattered.
On the other side, the battle was extremely brutal.
Chaos was fighting in a manner of trading wound for wound, unafraid of getting hurt.
Compared to the astonishing defense of Monster Beasts, the three Divine Vein Realm elders seemed somewhat in disarray.
Their robes were torn to pieces, and under the relentless attacks of Chaos, they were already at their last stand.
"Jue Huang, we’ve got some trouble this time," Jue Hen said, frowning with a distressed look on his face.
"I and Jue Mie will hold them off; you must hurry back to the sect and report to the Sect Master to prepare in advance," he said.
"But if I leave, what will happen to you two?" Jue Huang quickly asked.
"Don’t worry about us; our old bones have lain in the Dust Blood Coffin long enough," Jue Hen shook his head and said.
As his voice fell, Jue Hen’s aura around him surged with instant strength.
He was practically burning his already scarce essence blood in combat.
"Hurry and go," Jue Mie also shouted, charging towards Chaos.
Seeing this scene, Jue Huang didn’t hesitate any longer.
His essence blood burned around him, enveloping his being as if it were shrouded in red mist.
With a speed invisible to the naked eye, he escaped the area.
Watching Jue Huang leave, Styx moved to pursue but was blocked by Xu Zimei.
"There’s no need; with him burning his essence blood, you won’t catch up," Xu Zimei said.
Without Jue Huang participating in the battle, the defense of the other two elders became increasingly difficult.
Their auras were majestic, and the surrounding space shattered continuously during the battle, only to autonomously repair itself.
Streams of spatial turbulence swept through.
Behind the two elders, True Fate was already teetering, as if it might collapse at any moment.
Finally, with another assault from Chaos,
it brought its wings, thin as cicada wings, together at its back and its belly emitted a beam of aurora from its innate talent, directly hitting Jue Hen.
In that instant, there was a "boom" as True Fate behind Jue Hen completely shattered.
Seeing Jue Hen’s figure plunging downward, Jue Mie let out a mournful roar.
Right after that, he felt a stabbing pain in his waist as Styx’s attack struck his body at an unknown time.
......
In the Divine Vein Realm, one ignites the Divine Fire, and only when the Divine Fire is completely extinguished does one die.
If the Divine Fire still exists, even a drop of blood can be resurrected and reborn.
That is the power of this realm.
At this moment, under the extreme attacks of Chaos, Jue Hen’s inner Divine Fire had already reached the brink of extinguishing.
As his body fell continuously downward, Jue Hen felt utterly devoid of any strength to struggle.
His consciousness became a blur, on the verge of sinking into sleep.
He knew this was the edge of death.
Since advancing to the Divine Vein Realm, it had been a long time since he had felt this way.
The last time he experienced this... seems to have been when...
At that moment, his pupils suddenly constricted, as it happened during the contest for Destiny with the Firmament Emperor.
......
Back then, he was also full of pride; he was the Extinct Heaven Saint Heir of that era.
Also endowed with high expectations, he competed with that man named Firmament for Destiny.
Unfortunately, the road to Becoming Emperor is fraught with difficulty.
The bones of Talented Disciples scattered across the land, speaking silent tales.
He was lucky; though he hadn’t carried Destiny, he had narrowly survived.
Later, he became the Sect Master of the Extinct Heaven Sect of that era.
When his lifespan reached its limit and he had not yet Stepped into Immortality,
he could only reluctantly enter the Dust Blood Coffin.
His life was filled with splendor, but there were also many sigh-inducing moments.
At this moment, as his consciousness grew blurrier, the Divine Fire within Jue Hen finally extinguished slowly.
......
