Eternal Tale

”..Hmm, hmm?!”

Elder Yao’s expression was filled with shock. What did this mean? Could it be that the woman had invited a powerful expert? Absolutely impossible!!

His expression changed slightly, but he suddenly felt a sense of calm within, quickly calculating everything. At least for now, this person didn’t seem to want to kill him.

Elder Yao shifted his tone, respectfully cupping his hands and saying, ”What does Senior need?”

However, just as he finished speaking, a cold voice echoed through the blessed lands, ”Your life.”

The voice was neither loud nor soft, but Elder Yao immediately sensed something was wrong. A sense of impending doom enveloped his heart. He was about to use all his means, but it was all in vain.

”Ah...”

Elder Yao let out a miserable scream as a black figure suddenly appeared before him. He was lifted into the air by the latter’s large hand, unable to muster any resistance, and the entire blessed land was shrouded by an inexplicable grand formation!

”Senior!!”

”Heh, I won’t kill you right away.”Chen Xun’s lips curled into a cold smile, chilling to the bone, as if he were holding a struggling ant. ”Do you have all the Image Stones on you?”

Elder Yao’s features twisted as the rule power he had spent thousands of years refining collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

His heart bled; ten thousand years of cultivating immortality, all for nothing in this moment!

”It seems Senior doesn’t intend to spare me. Could it be that my niece invited you?”

His expression turned slightly crazed, casting a wicked glance at Chen Xun, and he chuckled lowly, ”It seems under my tutelage, she served Senior quite well... hahaha!”

”But her Sacred Body of Water and Moon is lost. Senior must be quite disappointed with dual cultivation, so you’re venting your anger on me?!”

Blood dripped from Elder Yao’s face as he grew increasingly frenzied, ”I am the third elder of the Yuehuang Clan’s Illusory Moon Immortal Sect. Does Senior truly dare to kill me... I doubt it, heh, heh...”

His laughter grew more arrogant, the pain of a severed path cutting deep into his bones, leaving him without hope. He might as well kill himself; his soul imprint still resided in the Illusory Moon Immortal Sect.

As long as he died now, there would still be a means of resurrection, and openly killing an elder of a great clan’s immortal sect would leave this person marked with the Moon Seal, hunted by the sect until death!

Chen Xun remained exceptionally calm, showing no anger, simply watching him quietly, as if looking at a fool.

Elder Yao’s arrogant laughter gradually faded, his heart suddenly shaken... What kind of gaze was this?!

He felt his body was no longer under his control, a dignified Great Ascension Venerable pressed to the ground with a single palm.

”I will prepare an immortal tomb for you, place you within, and slowly erode the fortune of your lineage until it is severed.”

Chen Xun looked down at him with a ghostly gaze, speaking calmly, ”After all, I’ve heard you have two illegitimate children scattered outside, cultivating immortality. Cultivators always have something they care about, don’t they?”

”How about letting a group of lustful wild beasts accompany you? I’ll prepare Image Stones at eighteen positions, to be scattered at the Yuehuang Clan’s residence before your life ends. After all, you seem to like them, and I am always reasonable.”

”...Senior.”

Elder Yao broke into a cold sweat, no longer maintaining his fearless demeanor. Every word was like a heavy hammer striking deep into his Dao heart, and a trace of fear gradually crept into his eyes.

”Afraid?”

”I admit my mistake!”

However, just as Elder Yao’s cowardly words fell, Chen Xun’s eyes suddenly widened, and an endless fury surged across his previously calm face.

”You motherfucking bastard!”

Chen Xun’s furious shout resounded like thunder across the heavens and earth, a terrifying, world-shaking force law erupting from within him. His fist rose like a destructive meteor, unstoppable as it smashed toward Elder Yao.

Elder Yao felt every hair on his body stand on end, as if witnessing an entire world crashing down upon him. His Dao heart instinctively let out an earth-shattering roar, ”I admit my mistake!!!”

”Moo!” Black Bull’s eyes widened in shock, instinctively crying out, hoping Chen Xun wouldn’t impulsively kill him—it wasn’t part of the plan!

Boom!

With a deafening roar, the entire blessed land was instantly destroyed, the ground shattered, forming a thunderous abyss thousands of feet deep, tearing through reality and void!

Terrifying waves of law swept out like a monstrous storm, engulfing everything in its path.

Above the abyss, lightning intertwined, thunder roared, and each arc of electricity rose like a fierce dragon, wantonly rampaging through the sky.

Nearby mountains crumbled, rivers flowed backward, and the rules of heaven and earth collapsed.

The Chu family members guarding the area were dumbfounded, watching in horror as Elder Yao’s blessed land evaporated before their eyes, lightning and wind raging above, like the wrath of heaven!

Especially that deep, endless thunder abyss... inexplicably born, shock and fear intertwined in their eyes, a mighty expert had descended!!

”Which fellow Daoist dares to duel within the Ancient City of True Spirits, intruding upon my Chu family, truly...”

A grand voice boomed, only to abruptly stop, then continued in a deep tone, ”...truly brings honor to my Chu family, we shall not disturb Senior’s actions, all Chu family members remain silent.”

The voice came and went swiftly, leaving the entire Chu family in an inexplicable silence.

Thousands of Chu family members walked out in a daze; this voice belonged to their ancestor, and the terrifying scene above, right below...

Wasn’t that the late-stage Great Ascension elder from the Illusory Moon Immortal Sect?!

And the ancestor had even addressed him as Senior, a Heavenly Venerable had descended...

All the Chu family members bowed their heads and cupped their hands, their hearts filled with trepidation. To dare duel in the Ancient City of True Spirits like this, they had never even heard of such a thing.

Chu Zhen also slowly walked out from the cave abode by the secluded pool, his eyes still filled with indescribable shock. That terrifying, overwhelming aura suppressed all directions, leaving him wondering about the fate of his future master...

In the thunder abyss, Elder Yao lay like a dead dog, blood flowing freely, half his face scraped away by the fist’s wind, his soul battered into chaos, utterly unconscious.

He was still held in Chen Xun’s hand, his eyes rolling back, instinctively letting out weak cries of pain, barely clinging to life.

Dong!

A vast and majestic aura suddenly appeared above the Ancient City of True Spirits, the sound of bells ringing continuously, melodious yet sharp, rushing toward Chen Xun in the Chu family’s territory!

Whoosh—

An invisible ripple surged forth, instantly exploding in the sky above the ancient city, a massive, boundless true spirit phantom appearing, turning the entire city from day to night in an instant.

The four directions trembled, gazing in shock at the sky, what was happening?!
