NOVPUBIn his hands, he was holding a head with its eyes wide open, dead but refusing to close its eyes!
It was the head of that middle-aged cultivator in yellow clothing!
"City Lord Guang—City Lord Guang!"
The crowd was horrified and lost their color.
But the white-haired elder, as if nobody else existed, held up the head, tears streaming down as he laughed uproariously towards the sky:
"Mother!"
"Wen Yin!"
"The one who killed you, the one who sent him, I’ve finally killed them all!"
"I’ve avenged you!"
Around them, the cultivators of Daosheng Continent, after their initial shock, began to furiously shout:
"How dare you commit such a brazen act of insubordination! Quick! Kill him immediately!"
"I told you long ago that this person was arrogantly rebellious, harboring grand ambitions..."
"He even took advantage of the moment when City Lord Guang’s mana was restrained to launch a sneak attack!"
"Kill him quickly!"
Immediately, numerous puppets swiftly pounced towards the white-haired elder.
The howling wind whipped up his disheveled white hair, the elder lowered his head, his gaze slowly sweeping over the surrounding area.
The roar of the ocean waves, the distant shine of thunder, illuminating the faces of the surrounding cultivators, all clearly visible.
Golden Core Practitioners, Nascent Soul Practitioners...
In his eyes, however, there was not the slightest bit of nervousness, only a hint of bloodthirst and the indulgence of long-suppressed... wanton freedom:
"Times have changed... all of you can go to hell."
...
Chen State.
"Go to the Dungeon... perhaps it’s still not too late."
The Ice Daoist spoke to the two people in front of him.
Yao Wudi gave a slight smile:
"No need, can’t run, can’t hide in a Dungeon while still alive... that’s too boring, it took me so many years to reach Immortal Ascension, how boring it would be to sit in confinement at home."
"Besides, that hole in the sky is so large..."
He pointed at the black hole above.
As he spoke, he paused, and then subconsciously looked towards Mulian Xu at his side.
He hesitated, slightly sheepishly:
"Or maybe, you could hide in our Sect?"
Mulian Xu calmly looked at him, saying nothing.
Yao Wudi’s face couldn’t help but show a sheepish grin.
He muttered:
"Forget it, this time I’ll let you have your way, it’s not lonely having someone as beautiful as you with me."
Ice gradually thawed from within Mulian Xu’s eyes, replaced by a touch of warmth.
As they were talking,
Yao Wudi suddenly felt a premonition, his brow furrowing as he looked toward the north.
Mulian Xu also raised her head, her eyes showing a hint of surprise and doubt.
Influenced by the two of them, the Ice Daoist also couldn’t help but use his full eyesight to look to the north.
He had thought he wouldn’t see anything out of the ordinary, but to his surprise, he discovered that an astonishing thundercloud was gathering in the northern sky.
"Which Void Refining expert is crossing Tribulation now?"
The Ice Daoist couldn’t help but frown in confusion.
However, Yao Wudi, who could see further, showed a surprised look:
"Northsea Continent... is it actually a huge tortoise?"
"How incredible is that!"
Mulian Xu’s eyes revealed an unusual ripple:
"That means, beneath the Northern Ice Abyss is its head... that explains it."
The cold current from Northsea Continent was actually coming from the breath of this giant tortoise.
No wonder there was a contraction and release of the cold currents every forty-three years.
For this single inhalation and exhalation spanned more than forty years.
The Ice Daoist also suddenly came to a startling realization.
He had felt the presence of a long but massive entity at the bottom of the Northern Ice Abyss during his cultivation.
He had thought it was some deep-sea giant serpent, yet it turned out to be the neck of this giant tortoise.
Curiously, Yao Wudi continued to observe,
completely unconcerned as the thunderclouds above his head gradually converged.
After a few glances, he abruptly frowned:
"It doesn’t quite look like it’s crossing Tribulation... Although the Thunder Tribulation is impressively strong, it looks more like punishment... the tortoise has retracted again!"
The Ice Daoist could only vaguely see the changes in the Thunder Tribulation and a rough outline of the shape, unable to see the details clearly.
But hearing Yao Wudi’s description, he roughly understood the situation.
At that moment, Yao Wudi suddenly stopped talking.
Turning his head, he looked towards the Ice Daoist, a hint of apology flashing in his eyes:
"Tell your true self... sorry, my dear disciple, I won’t be with you for your Immortal Ascension, but..."
In his eyes, that flicker of apology quietly transformed into immense pride:
"You lad, you reached Nascent Soul Formation four hundred years earlier than me... I didn’t choose my disciple wrong, you, my lad, are stronger than me!"
"Ha ha! I’m off too! One day when you break through and ascend, look at that hole in the sky, that’s where I’ll be watching from!"
After speaking, he reached back and grabbed Mulian Xu’s hand.
"Sister, I’ll take you out for some fun!"
A blush quietly spread across the face of the stunning female Cultivator clad in white, surpassing the snow.
A breathtakingly beautiful smile appeared.
At that moment, she seemed like a maiden yearning for spring, softly saying,
"Let’s go."
The two of them took to the skies hand in hand.
The Ice Daoist silently lowered his head.
His heart was usually cold as iron.
But for some reason, he did not want to watch this scene...
All around them, countless snowflakes fell.
A Jade Slip quietly landed in front of him, from which the voice of Mulian Xu, seemingly filled with joy, came through:
"This is the last Dharma hidden within the ’Ice Spirit Transcendence’."
"The Ice Dao Divine Skill ’Ice Spirit Divine Light’..."
The Ice Daoist gently grasped the Jade Slip, and all the experiences related to the Ice Spirit Divine Light entered his mind, quickly absorbed by him...
At the same moment.
In a corner of Chen State.
Seven or eight bizarre-looking and distressed third-level Evil Gods gritted their teeth as they hovered in mid-air, gazing at the distance.
Their eyes were filled with both shock and fear.
They were the ones who had slipped through the net after being pursued and killed by Lv Zhuangmei and others.
Behind them, a dense crowd of Incense Fire Dao Cultivators had equally frightened expressions.
Just then,
One of the Evil Gods suddenly showed a hint of joy on its face:
"It’s gone!"
"All the Immortal Ascension Cultivators nearby have disappeared!"
"What?!"
The surrounding Evil Gods looked shocked, and then coming to a realization, they were overjoyed:
"This is our opportunity!"
"These Immortal Ascensions are abhorred by the heavens and earth, and they deserve this calamity!"
"Let’s go!"
"We shall immediately flatten Jin, attack Yan from the north, and unite the Fenglin Continent!"
"Welcome back the Three Divine Emperors!"
As their words fell,
The Incense Fire Dao Cultivators behind them, like a flood, surged towards the direction of Sen State!
Soon, they spotted the Nascent Soul Cultivators from Jin who had remained within the borders of Chen State to provide support, and a fierce battle quickly erupted!
...
"Now, I’m afraid there are no Immortal Ascension Cultivators left in our Sect. If you ascend to the heavens now to repair them, and should an external enemy invade..."
The bald female Cultivator looked at Pang Xiu, who was about to ascend to the heavens, and calmly spoke out.
Pang Xiu involuntarily hesitated.
His brows furrowed deeply.
"There are still numerous Patriarchs in the Sect, even if I am not present, there should be no problems, right?"
He couldn’t help but say.
The bald female Cultivator slightly shook her head:
"They stay here also out of consideration for their masters and the Sect relationship, acting as Tribute, and will have reservations in taking action. But you are one of our own."
"If a great Sect like Wanxiang does not have an Immortal Ascension Cultivator to stabilize it, I’m afraid it won’t take long for it to completely vanish from the world."
Hearing this, Pang Xiu suddenly stopped.
Then he fell silent for a while before nodding and saying,
"I understand... but if I can’t leave the Dungeon, even if I survive, what good would it do?"
The bald female Cultivator slightly furrowed her brows, her gaze scanning the lower Shaoyang Mountain.
Suddenly, her eyes brightened, as if she’d thought of something, she opened her mouth and said,
"Do you know of the Earth Immortal Path..."
Hearing the words of the bald female Cultivator, Pang Xiu was briefly taken aback before he fell silent for a while, and then he said,
"Then so be it. In this way, I can make use of my capacity and not just be for show."
The bald female Cultivator hesitated:
"Once this method is used, you will be almost no different from those Artifact Spirits who’ve attained Dao, and it will be much more difficult for you, I’m afraid you will have a hard time ever leaving this place..."
Pang Xiu, however, seemed to have made up his mind and said indifferently, "Senior, please teach me."
Looking at Pang Xiu’s calm expression, the bald female Cultivator was silent for a while, then said in a low voice,
"I hope you will not blame me in the future..."
A few moments later.
Pang Xiu’s figure gradually became illusory, merging into the below Shaoyang Mountain...
Seeing this scene.
Wei Rong withdrew his gaze and looked up at the black hole above Wanxiang Sect.
Several other Nascent Soul Perfect Practitioners were doing the same.
"Our Dao Domain is no longer sufficient... now, it’s our turn!"
One after another, figures rose from the ground and rushed into the high skies.
"Wang Ba!"
