Immortal-Exterminating Divine Venerable

”And you two! All Immortal Cultivators deserve to die!”

After killing Ye Donghuang, the True God Heroic Spirit’s gaze swept over Yang Xiao and Yue Lingxi.

Its menacing aura startled the two of them.

This being was comparable to the True God Level, and the two of them were no match for it right now.

Just as the True God Heroic Spirit was about to attack...

Yang Xiao had a flash of inspiration. He tore off the Immortal Transformation Talisman on his body and put it away. His aura instantly reverted to its original state.

At the same time, he shouted, ”Senior, I am a Martial Cultivator! I was just using a disguise!”

”That’s right! Senior, look, the Immortal Dao Aura on our bodies all comes from this Immortal Transformation Talisman. We are pure Martial Cultivators, not those who have fallen to the level of Immortal Cultivators.”

Yue Lingxi reacted as well.

She tore off her Immortal Transformation Talisman and was about to show it to the True God Heroic Spirit.

The Heroic Spirit of the Ye Family’s True God ancestor seemed to shake its head, as if inspecting something. After a long moment, it confirmed that Yang Xiao and Yue Lingxi were indeed not Immortal Cultivators.

”Indeed, you are not. However, I sense an aura on you—the bloodline aura of my Ye Family’s descendants. How many of my Ye Family descendants have you killed!”

The True God Heroic Spirit roared.

This time, Yang Xiao did not speak.

Yue Lingxi wanted to say something, but he held her back.

”What? You don’t wish to explain?”

This particular True God Heroic Spirit seemed to have absorbed the most bloodline power from Ye Donghuang, so its will was much more complete compared to the other True God Heroic Spirits that acted purely on instinct.

It even possessed the capacity for rational thought.

Yang Xiao couldn’t help but marvel at this.

After all, it was considered good enough if an ordinary Heroic Spirit even had a complete consciousness.

For one to be like the one before them was incredibly rare.

However, it was precisely because he had noticed this that Yang Xiao remained silent, waiting for it to ask.

Now that the True God Heroic Spirit had asked, Yang Xiao naturally had to answer.

”There’s nothing to explain. I have indeed killed many of them. The people of the Ye Family are no longer the same Ye Family they once were. They have all become running dogs of the Immortal Dao. Why shouldn’t I kill them?”

Yang Xiao’s face was filled with contempt.

”Is that true? You say they have all become running dogs of the Immortal Dao?”

The True God Heroic Spirit, however, began to tremble all over.

It was clearly having trouble accepting this fact.

”That’s right. It’s not just the Ye Family. Across the entire Profound Sun Continent—the Five Domains of east, south, west, north, and central—you’d be hard-pressed to find many Martial Cultivators. It won’t be long before this land ascends to the Immortal Realm. When that happens, the Profound Sun Secret Realm might just become a possession of the Immortal Realm.”

”No! Impossible! We are of the Great Emperor’s bloodline! How could we become running dogs of the Immortal Dao? You’re lying, aren’t you? You must be lying! How could my Ye Family…”

After its roar, the True God Heroic Spirit was overcome with a sense of powerlessness.

This was because of Yang Xiao’s expression, which showed he couldn’t be bothered to explain anything to it.

He clearly didn’t look like he was lying.

Moreover, as its consciousness grew clearer, more of its power returned.

A Mortal, no matter how strong, could never lie in front of a True God like itself.

Thus, the True God Heroic Spirit understood.

Everything Yang Xiao said was true.

The Ye Family bloodline had likely all degenerated into running dogs for the Immortal Dao.

They had become traitors.

’Are the heavens truly determined to destroy my Ye Family? No, I can’t let that happen! Even if every last member of my Ye Family bloodline dies out, this Profound Sun Secret Realm must not fall into the hands of the Immortal Dao! The Great Emperor’s final decree was: even in death, we will not be dogs of the Immortal Dao!’

The True God Heroic Spirit roared in its heart.

Suddenly, it glanced at Yang Xiao.

That one glance seemed to see through something.

The True God Heroic Spirit suddenly asked, ”Are you from Celestial Cloud?”

”Eh? How did you know, Senior?”

Yang Xiao was stunned.

This time, it was his turn to be surprised.

However, what he didn’t expect was for the True God Heroic Spirit to burst out laughing at that moment.

It said nothing more, instead sizing Yang Xiao up repeatedly.

It stared so intently that Yang Xiao’s hair stood on end.

Suddenly, it seemed to have made a decision.

It raised a hand and seized Yang Xiao.

Its figure flashed.

And it vanished, taking him along.

This all happened so quickly that even Yue Lingxi, a Holy Palace Saintess with combat power comparable to Demigod Peak, couldn’t react in time.

She could only watch as the True God Heroic Spirit took Yang Xiao away.

She was furious.

’That damn thing, launching a sneak attack! Lord Xiao, don’t worry, I’ll definitely find you!’

Yue Lingxi was so angry she stomped her foot.

In truth, she wasn’t too worried about Yang Xiao’s life being in danger.

The out-of-the-blue question from the True God Heroic Spirit just now made Yue Lingxi realize that Yang Xiao probably had some connection to this spirit from before it died.

Besides, with the True God Heroic Spirit’s power, if it wanted to kill them, it would have just done so directly.

Why bother abducting Yang Xiao?

Therefore, there must be a specific reason it took her Lord Xiao away.

Perhaps it might even be a good thing for Yang Xiao.

But even so, Yue Lingxi was still a little worried.

After all, this was all just her speculation.

Who knew if that True God Heroic Spirit had just gone crazy and decided to pull a stunt like this.

So, Yue Lingxi thought for a moment.

And decided to give chase.

The moment she gave chase, the entire Profound Sun Secret Realm began to tremble.

The True God Heroic Spirits that had been summoned but had not yet fully awakened suddenly stirred as if they had been provoked.

”Immortal Dao Aura! It’s those damn running dogs of the Immortal Dao! Kill! Kill them all!”

Roars echoed from all directions.

Yue Lingxi paused for a moment and looked up.

She saw the awakened True God Heroic Spirits frantically chasing a group of people.

And just one glance at this group of people made Yue Lingxi’s heart tremble.

Because their strength was actually all above the Mid-stage Void Immortal realm. To put it in perspective, even Ye Donghuang, the Lord of the Eastern Domain, had only been at the Peak of Mid-stage Void Immortal.

Counting them carefully, there were over twenty in total.

Every single one was no weaker than a Mid-stage Void Immortal. The strongest among them had even reached Late-stage Void Immortal Peak—and there was more than one. They were likely just half a step away from Void Immortal Peak.

And there were so many of them.

Even as confident as Yue Lingxi was, she knew she was no match for them.

’Thankfully, that Ye Donghuang brought this upon himself and summoned these Heroic Spirits. Otherwise, just the two of us, Lord Xiao and I, would have stood no chance against these people.’

At that moment, Yue Lingxi couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief.

Relief that Ye Donghuang had used the Secret Technique, and even relief that Yang Xiao wasn’t here right now, but had been taken away by that True God Heroic Spirit. Otherwise…

If they were caught in such turmoil, she was afraid she truly wouldn’t have been able to protect him.

’Master once told me that after I undo my Seal, I can only stay here for ten days at most. And Master’s orders are for me to use the Profound Sun Order to open the deepest treasure vault in this Secret Realm and bring back the most precious item inside to complete the mission. These Immortal Cultivators will absolutely not stand by and let me complete my task. In that case, I’ll lend these True God Heroic Spirits a hand!’

After this turn of events, it was now impossible for Yue Lingxi to search for Yang Xiao.

So, her thoughts shifted.

A second idea formed: help the True God Heroic Spirits entrap and kill these Void Immortal Powerhouses.

Only by clearing them out could she and Lord Xiao safely search for the final treasure vault after he returned.

And just as Yue Lingxi went into hiding, planning to assassinate these Void Immortal Powerhouses…

The True God Heroic Spirit that had captured Yang Xiao finally stopped its frantic flight.

Allowing Yang Xiao to get a clear look at his surroundings.

The sight instantly left him dumbfounded.

He was completely baffled.

Why would this True God Heroic Spirit bring him to this place?

’Has it gone insane?’
