Eternal Tale

As Nangong Heling’s voice fell, the might of the Tree Realm gradually manifested. A vast energy surged from the Crane Spirit Yin-Yang Five Elements Tree, like brilliant rainbows swirling around her.

The sacred light illuminated the entire Mu Yuan Realm. The branches and leaves of the Tree Realm were lush, and the trunk stood tall and majestic, rapidly expanding and releasing an immense power of trees that covered the entire realm.

The essence of the Tree Realm condensed into a massive curtain of light, with the runes of the Yin-Yang Five Elements shining brightly within, resembling flowing stars, exuding infinite strength and a mysterious aura.

The momentum of the Tree Realm grew increasingly overwhelming. Clouds churned in the sky, lightning intertwined, creating a scene of earth-shattering magnificence.

The earth trembled, mountains crumbled, as if the entire Mu Yuan Realm was shaken by the Tree Realm’s might. Beams of rule power emanated from the Crane Spirit Yin-Yang Five Elements Tree, spreading to every corner.

Within the light curtain, all living beings in the Mu Yuan Realm felt an irresistible oppression, making them feel insignificant, like ants, as if juniors truly meeting their ancestors!

Just as there is bloodline suppression among spiritual beasts, tree spirits have it too!

In the instant the Tree Realm’s might descended, the air of the Mu Yuan Realm seemed to freeze, time appeared to stand still, entering a solemn atmosphere.

The Tree Realm exuded a vast righteousness and vitality, its roots deeply embedded in the void of the Mu Yuan Realm, connecting with the power of all living beings. The overwhelming oppression weighed on the hearts of the Mu family, making it difficult for many cultivators to breathe.

They stared in shock at the terrifying divine tree in the void, truly... covering the sky and blocking out the sun, their bloodline stagnated, and a heavy feeling permeated every pore.The Mu family’s ancestor stood in the sky, his might suddenly weakened, their expressions frozen, faces pale, trembling as they said, ”What... what kind of tree spirit is this?!”

”Not good... the ancestral spirit is in trouble!”

”They’re here for the ancestral spirit, not for our Mu family!”

”Mu Yuan Realm... has a traitor.”

...

Several aged voices sounded, but their tone was no longer angry, instead becoming gradually calm.

The entire Mu Yuan Realm had fallen into a great upheaval, a truly mighty cultivator had descended...

At this moment, the terrifying Five Elements spiritual pressure filled the entire Mu Yuan Realm, the spiritual qi of this world was instantly emptied, and the formation outside the boundary severed the connection with heaven and earth... yet a great destructive aura was silently descending.

”Ancestor, the Void Transmission Disk can no longer send messages, the star hub is silent and dim!”

”Ancestor, the last message from Mu Yuan Island was that the boundary is sealed, and the island is now in great peril.”

”Ancestor, at this grand event... our Mu Yuan Realm is utterly unprepared to defend against enemies, and the various connections on the Southern Yu Continent have expressed that they have already pressured Mu Yuan Island, but this realm... is powerless.”

...

Messages of grief and anger came one after another, the Mu family disciples and the creatures reared in this boundary were all filled with horror and emptiness, they gazed at the sky, where the ancestral land of the boundary was...!

Even weaker creatures knelt down, their spiritual power seemingly drained.

The earth continuously sent tremors, a scene of mountains and rivers sinking, and the sun and moon losing their light seemed about to unfold before their eyes.

As the cultivation of several Mu family ancestors increased, strange wood-element runes began to cover the surface of their bodies, their divine souls swayed, yet a last shred of reason remained in their eyes:

”All backup plans have been severed, but back then we did nothing substantial, could mere thoughts be worth such millennia of scheming to this extent...!”

”It seems we’ve encountered a petty person who repays every slight, today’s matter cannot end well.”

”Elevate one’s own power of the Great Dao, enter the Mahayana Realm with the power of a thousand paths!”

”Only by breaking that sealing formation, even if exposed to the world, it cannot be helped... leave that formation to me.”

...

Several aged voices became increasingly chaotic and unclear, the central divine tree of the Mu Yuan Realm trembled, as if encountering immense fear, the slightly bulging human skins on the branches quickly shriveled.

Finally, they turned into a pile of ashes, a bizarre scene that made Yu Fangshuo and the Ghost Face Clan’s fat man frown secretly.

Such evil cultivation practices, even the Ghost Face Clan disdained to engage in. In this great era of cultivating immortality, still playing such tricks? If your Mu family isn’t wiped out, who will be? Dying is not unjust...

Yet the Mu family seemed unfazed, only Mu Qingyao looked at the central divine tree with a face full of fear.

She was the only one in the Mu family not assimilated by this evil tree, the Second Ancestor had laid out plans for her in the mortal world for three thousand years, the only one protected by the Divine Mourning, the only hope to break the Mu family’s tens of thousands of years of confinement!

However, she unexpectedly encountered Nangong Heling at the Dao Academy, indeed, she had her own purpose from the very beginning.

Testing, inviting, forming enmity with the Mu family, everything was within her plan, all logical.

Even if seen through, it was no big deal! If she succeeded, she would take the lead, if she failed, they would all face it together!

But there were too many unexpected events, she didn’t know a Ghost Face Great Ascension Venerable had sneaked into the Mu Yuan Realm, nor did she expect her eldest brother to be so powerful.

She had overestimated the Chen family, but didn’t expect it to exceed her estimation limits!

But regardless of any purpose for bringing Nangong Heling to the Mu Yuan Realm, her true body aura could not be wrong, the Second Ancestor’s special constitution for breaking the game could sense it!

Nangong Heling’s true body was definitely of a higher grade than the Mu Yuan Realm’s tree spirit, an existence that could absolutely suppress the divine tree of the Mu Yuan Realm! Only when such an opportunity appeared would she take the risk.

However...

Her eyes looked blankly at the sky, the aura of destruction and annihilation filled all directions, the entire Mu Yuan Realm was suppressed and sealed, it was no longer about the divine tree, it had gone too far...

Mu Qingyao’s vacant pupils gradually became chaotic, her face dazed, as if her body was filled with three divine souls, the Mu family’s Second Ancestor, the Mu Yuan Realm’s divine tree, and herself.

Boom—

Before she could think further, a deafening roar suddenly erupted in the sky of the Mu Yuan Realm, the sky turned dark, thick darkness enveloped the entire firmament.

A massive rift suddenly tore open in the sky above the boundary, like a crack in the heavens and earth, gradually expanding!

Boom—

The vast roar echoed throughout the Mu Yuan Realm, a massive star, fiery red and surrounded by death energy, gradually emerged.

This star was enormous, like a giant beast in the heavens and earth, its surface burning with fiery red flames, filled with a terrifying and destructive aura.

As this fiery red star appeared, the surrounding environment twisted and became strange.

The sky was shrouded by the star’s shadow, day and night reversed, pitch black as ink.

The wind stopped, not a sound was heard, like a silent graveyard, the boundary’s earth began to tremble, mountains collapsed, rivers dried up, a scene of desolation and death.

This star emitted a thick power of the world’s rules, this power was like invisible chains entwining around it, forming a powerful net of confinement.

Whether it was the qi of the Five Elements, spiritual qi, land, or everything around, all were influenced by this rule power, as if under its existence, the entire world was bound.

A cataclysmic force of annihilation... suddenly descended!
