NOVPUBWhen the corpses of Jue Hen and Jue Mie, both from the Divine Vein Realm, fell to the ground, everyone’s heart seemed to be fiercely shaken.
Xu Zimei descended from the sky and, after scanning all those present, said indifferently to Chaos, "Go to Extinct Heaven Sect."
Chaos hoisted both bodies onto his shoulders, and surrounded by a surge of Spiritual Energy, they stepped into the air, heading off into the distance.
Witnessing this scene, the youths at the venue instantly erupted into noisy discussion.
"It seems the heavens are about to change."
"They really dare to go to the Extinct Heaven Sect, spread the word quickly, let’s follow and see."
"I think he’s going to bite the dust, an Imperial Rule Immortal Sect is not as simple as one imagines,
Especially one that has been home to two Emperors."
"Why talk so much, just follow and see for yourself."
The great battle at the Extinct Heaven Sect was immediately reported back to their respective Sect Gates by these Saint Heirs.
At this moment, the storm began swirling around Extinct Heaven City.
Though it had not immediately spread throughout the entire Shenghua Domain, it still caused a great commotion.
Many people rushed to Extinct Heaven City, eager to witness this grand battle.
Even within many Imperial Rule Immortal Sects, the upper echelons were gathering in the sect’s Council Hall.
In the center of the hall, a mirror floated up, reflecting the location of Extinct Heaven Sect.
The image in the mirror began to evolve with clarity.
…
Extinct Heaven Sect was situated behind Extinct Heaven City.
It was a mountain perpetually shrouded in mist.
Rising steeply into the clouds, for the people living near the vicinity of Extinct Heaven City, this was a Holy Land.
Representing all authority.
Since the era when the Extinct Heaven Great Emperor emerged and established his sect here,
This power appeared seemingly out of nowhere; it rose to dominion over thousands of miles of fertile ground overnight.
After being blessed by the Heaven-slaying Great Emperor, one couldn’t say it was the strongest force here,
But in the entire Shenghua Domain, the Extinct Heaven Sect indeed left its own vivid mark.
…
The surrounding mountains were enshrouded in a vast expanse of white mist, which from above spread wide across the land, the position of Extinct Heaven Sect vastly immense.
Cranes spread their wings amidst the clouds, birds cried shrilly as they flew through the swirling mists.
Palaces stood in succession, row upon row erect between heaven and earth.
The architectural styles were distinctive and arrogant, the peaks piercing the sky.
Some people sat at the mountaintop absorbing the Essence of Sun and Moon, while others practiced their swordsmanship below, where the Sword Prison was like a sea.
For the disciples of Extinct Heaven Sect, this was a very ordinary day.
Until Elder Jue Huang, covered in blood, returned here.
Until a thunderous boom echoed through everyone’s hearts, shocking their eardrums.
The mist that had shrouded around the Sect for years was dispersed, and people looked up in surprise.
This immense entity, silent for a thousand years, faced an invasion for the first time.
…
The Sect Protection Array was activated, and under the leadership of Sect Master Jue Wuming, all the higher-ups rose into the air.
They faced the invaders from afar.
The corpses of ancestors Jue Hen and Jue Mie were tossed into the midst of the Sect.
This seemed to be the invader’s provocation and a trampling of the Sect’s majesty.
…
"How long has it been since the Shenghua Domain has seen any conflict, yet someone has come to challenge the Extinct Heaven Sect," an interested old-timer watching from the shadows discussed.
"Indeed, there’s still time before Destiny manifests, and the waters of this world are getting murkier," they added.
The current Sect Master of Extinct Heaven Sect, Jue Wuming, emanated the peak aura of the Saint Vein Realm.
He may not be the strongest in the sect, but he possessed a judgment and leadership ability surpassing others.
Jue Wuming looked at Xu Zimei, his tone indifferent, his voice cold as he asked, "I do not know how my Extinct Heaven Sect has offended you.
Why must today end with either your death or mine?"
"I’m just fulfilling a contract, helping someone out of trouble in exchange for their money," Xu Zimei shook his head and said with a smile.
He came treading on air, with Chaos and Styx maintaining a calm demeanor on his left and right.
The aura of the Divine Vein Realm was silently surging around him, causing the whole world to reverberate with "booming" explosions.
"Fulfilling a contract, it must have been the people of the Heaven Clan who sent you," Jue Wuming said lightly.
"I knew that not all of that clan’s people were completely wiped out, and that they would eventually become a serious threat."
Jue Wuming’s gaze became intent as he looked at Xu Zimei and replied, "The ’taking money’ you speak of must be the Tree of Life that the remnants of the Heaven Clan exchanged with you."
"You know quite a lot," said Xu Zimei with a light laugh.
"After all, apart from that, they don’t have much left," Jue Wuming responded indifferently.
"I think you might have been deceived by the people of the Heaven Clan.
What is the Tree of Life?
It’s a species that existed at the very beginning of the Epoch.
Even if you find it, it won’t do you any good; you can’t obtain it."
"That doesn’t seem to concern you," said Xu Zimei.
"I’m just here to carry out an extermination; you don’t need to teach me anything else."
Xu Zimei waved his right hand, and Chaos’s massive figure roared in midair.
It slammed down its paw heavily, causing the Sect Protection Array of the Extinct Heaven Sect to explode with a "thunderous rumble."
The surface barrier rippled in layers.
With Chaos’s relentless attacks, the Sect Protection Array’s surface shook even more violently.
However, the array was no simple thing. Even with the power of Chaos, it would take a considerable time to break through.
Jue Wuming squinted as he watched the situation outside, then turned to the Elder beside him and said,
"You watch this place; I am going to pay a visit to our ancestor."
The Elder nodded his head in haste.
...
Some struggle desperately while pursuing the path to Becoming Emperor; others, after failure, retreat into the mountains to live a secluded life.
For those who fail to seize their destiny, becoming an immortal might be the endpoint of their fate.
In a valley where birds sang and flowers fragranced the air, a man in a white robe stood with a woman in a light and delicate floral dress by the riverbank.
Here, it was eternally spring.
Here, the sun shone brightly.
Small bridges spanned the gently flowing water that streamed slowly from within the valley, so clear that the riverbed could be seen, the water beneath moving in tranquility. 𝚗o𝚟pub.𝚌𝚘𝚖
Not far from the river, an ordinary wood cabin stood against the ground.
Surrounding the cabin were varieties of flowers and trees planted which, when in full bloom,
Attracted butterflies fluttering their wings, dancing their way over in a beautiful spectacle.
April in the mortal realm is the most fragrant.
...
The woman in the floral dress sat on a round stone by the river, while the man in the white robe stood in front of an easel, portraying the image of the woman he cherished with every stroke.
He lifted his head slightly, and the two exchanged smiling glances.
Warmth and happiness pervaded the air carried by the breeze.
In that moment, a series of urgent horn sounds suddenly filled the air.
The horns, sonorous and loud, spread ripples throughout the entire space.
The placidly flowing river suddenly increased in speed, the sound of the water growing "splashing" loud.
Even the dancing butterflies were startled, each flying away into the distance.
"Butterfly, wait for me."
The man in the white robe frowned as he looked outside the space, then turned to the woman in the floral dress and said with a smile,
"I’ll go have a look and be right back."
