Grandpa, times have changed.

Boom!
The heavens and earth trembled!

A bizarre and chaotic scene, indescribable in any language, filled the world. Countless lights and shadows flowed, and endless laws of nature converged into the wind, howling past!

The overwhelming chaotic airflow was swept away.

"puff!!"

A mouthful of blood, shimmering with silver light, was spat out, quickly turning black and decaying while still in mid-air.

Already severely injured, Tai's energy plummeted to a level even worse than Xu Xing's after taking that punch!
Its entire body was covered with dense cracks, like a piece of porcelain about to shatter.

Blood gushed out, soaking his gray robe.

Buzz!

A deep, violent, and endlessly murderous sword sound reverberated!
In the blink of an eye, it stretched for hundreds of millions of miles!

Wherever it passed, the cold wind was sharpened like a sword, transforming into a terrifying killing formation that could annihilate all things!

A pure and deadly sword was brewing, and even Tian, ​​who was in perfect condition, couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart!
wrong!

How could it be so simple? How could it be so pure?!
"Get out of here!"

Without hesitation, Tian grabbed Tai, who was filled with resentment, and quickly fled into the distance with him!
It was a sword-dao killing realm so pure that it sealed off all directions, even restricting the ability of enlightened beings to break through the void and escape into space.

"cut!"

A cold shout!
It was like a deafening roar that shook the heavens and the earth, yet it was also as if everything had returned to silence, without a single sound.

It was as ethereal as mist and haze, yet it shone brightly in the heavens—a contradictory yet extremely pure sword strike!
It almost spans the entire universe!

When one is in harmony with the Dao, one feels that the sky is clear and the air is fresh, with not a single cloud in sight for thousands of miles.

Only those who have reached the Dao Integration stage can perceive the supreme killing sword that covers all directions, chasing after the two ancient ancestors, and is incomparably pure and incomparably violent!
With just one glance, excruciating pain, as if cut by a thousand knives, surged from the depths of their souls. Even Dongzhen could not bear it, and tears of blood streamed down his face.

Tian flew away quickly, and several times he wanted to throw Tai out of his hand to ward off the disaster.

But considering the current situation, I reluctantly held back.

Finally, he withstood the sword strike and managed to escape the sword's killing zone with Tai.

The boundary of the Xuan Domain.

Xuan, who had just repelled the Overlord, looked at this sword with an extremely solemn expression.

Although it lacks variety, in terms of sheer destructive power, it is far superior to even Him!

A single sword strike can shatter all laws!

"Sword Master, huh..."

Gu, standing to the side, had a gloomy expression, clearly having also seen through the true nature of this sword strike.

He wields the power of time, which is ever-changing, and is most easily countered by this sword.

If we were to face them, my chances of winning would probably be less than 10%!

What's more troublesome is that the human race has produced two enlightened beings at the same time.

……

……

From Taihe Tian catching up to Cheng Kong blocking their attack with a single sword strike, it was a mere instant.

Then, Meizu and Bie Xuening emerged from seclusion and repelled Taihetian.

Everything happened in a mere instant.

Ancient domain.

Xu Xing, who was at the bottom of the pit, had managed to stand up.

I didn't look at the sky, nor did I gaze in the direction where the sun and sky had departed.

Instead, he looked at the Extreme Sword, which had been brought before him by a strange force and seemed to be pieced together from countless fragments, on the verge of collapsing at any moment.

"..."

Even if one becomes an enlightened being, must one still make sacrifices to continue moving forward?

A sense of powerlessness and exhaustion from the depths of his soul made him almost lose his balance, staggering a few steps before falling backward.

At a critical moment.

"Brother Dao!"

A red figure suddenly appeared beside him and reached out to support him.

But it was the Demon Ancestor.

Her eyes were full of worry.

"Junior brother!"

Bie Xuening finally arrived, her expression also filled with worry.

"Are you OK?"

"..."

Taking a deep breath, Xu Xing steadied himself and sheathed the Extreme Sword in front of him.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

He spoke in a calm tone, as if nothing that had happened had affected him at all.

Before the two could speak, he continued:

"Let's go back first. Just cleaning up the mess will probably take a lot of time, so we need to make arrangements as soon as possible."

This reaction surprised the two of them.

But after exchanging a glance, they followed Xu Xing's wishes and took him back to the Eastern Wilderness.

……

……

Two more enlightened beings have been born among the human race!

The news swept through the entire Tai Xuan Realm like a storm in a very short time.

All races were shocked!

Especially the Cang Clan, which suffered heavy losses this time, with three major domains wiped out!
Before this, many Cang people believed that although there were enlightened beings among the human race, their overall strength was far inferior to that of the Cang race.

Otherwise, the Sword Ancestor wouldn't need to serve under the Ancient Ancestor.

After this, the Ancient Domain and the Tai Domain were almost completely wiped out. Only a small number of Dongzhen Cang Clan members survived by relying on the methods left behind by the Ancient and Tai Domains.

Needless to say, the Heavenly Domain, although not as devastated as the Ancient Domain and the Great Domain, still suffered the loss of nearly 80% of the Cang Clan under the attack of the Overlord.

The only place that is still relatively intact is the Xuan Domain.

Before this plan began, each region sent a portion of its elite Cang Clan to the Xuan Region to be protected by the strongest Xuan.

otherwise……

The Overlord fought his way through, and with the ancient domains wiped out by the aftershocks of the battles, the three major domains were extinct. The Cang Clan was practically wiped out as well.

In short, this assassination attempt against Xu Xing resulted in greater losses for the Cang Clan itself.

The human race also suffered considerable casualties, with their strongest warrior, the Sword Ancestor, sustaining extremely severe Dao injuries.

However, the addition of two new enlightened beings means that the number of enlightened beings among the human race is now equal to that of the Cang race.

In a sense, the human race has truly acquired the ability to confront the Cang race head-on.

Humanity has actually come to this?

This realization immediately terrified the other major clans in the Tai Xuan Realm.

It should be noted that since the last rebellion of various races, the human race has stopped accepting the allegiance of other races.

of course.

No race would be so blind as to side with the clearly disadvantaged human race.

In such a short time, the balance of power shifted, and the human race now had four enlightened beings.

If this continues, won't the number of enlightened beings among the human race surpass that of the Cang race?

No!

Were all four ancestors of the Cang clan idiots?
Why didn't you stop the human race when they had two enlightened beings? Why did you just watch their number of enlightened beings increase?!

One by one, the powerful clans that had pledged allegiance to the Cang Clan dared not speak out against their anger, and even those who dared to harbor such thoughts were crushed to death by the furious Tai.

But you can't escape it.

They've already pledged allegiance to the Cang Clan and now they want to run away? Do they really think the Fourth Ancestor of the Cang Clan is dead?

Among them, the Xuan Yue Fox clan is in an even more awkward situation, and their inner fear is a thousand times greater than that of other major clans.

As the first rebellious human race, they gained the favor of the Cang Clan by betraying and killing the Sword Ancestor's friend.

The stronger the human race becomes, the more uneasy they become.

If the human race grows stronger and stronger, eventually even surpassing the Cang race, then they...

It's probably impossible to even die!
For the next century, conflicts between the two clans continued. However, due to the heavy casualties in the previous conflict, and the fact that Xu Xing and Tai were both recovering from their injuries, the conflicts between the two sides were only minor skirmishes.

Occasionally, the Ancestor would make a move, but it was always blocked by the enlightened beings of the human race.

But overall, the Cang tribe still held the upper hand during these hundred years.

There was no other way; Xuan was, after all, a level above ordinary enlightened beings, and the overall strength of the human race was inferior to that of the Cang race.

One hundred years later.

The Xuan Yue Fox clan was ordered to destroy the array nodes built by the human race on the border of the ancient domain.

That's right!

Thanks to the emergence of two more enlightened beings among the human race, the ancient domain, which had been reduced to a wasteland, and the Huangshi domain, which had already been half occupied by the Overlord, were all brought under human control within the past century.

……

……

late at night.

Thick fog and dark clouds filled the night sky, obscuring the stars and the moon.

The cold wind was like a knife, carrying a chill that seeped into the bone.

The boundary between the Ancient Domain and the Azure Domain.

Two 'boundaries' that can be observed with the naked eye are opposite each other; one is like a condensation of bluish-purple energy, while the other is like a refinement of pale gold.

Between the two 'boundaries' lies a buffer zone that is a hundred miles wide.

The vegetation is lush, and various ferocious beasts live there.

Furthermore, due to the conflict between the two 'boundaries', all laws are forbidden in this place, so even Dongzhen cannot take off and fly, and can only move quickly along the ground.

rustle!

A few faint noises were heard, and several dark figures moved swiftly and agilely through the dense forest.

The leader was a beautifully crafted crescent-shaped fox with jade earrings hanging from its ears.

Her all-black outfit accentuated her slender figure, and her long silver hair, which used to reach her waist, had been cut short, leaving only a short bob that reached her ears.

Yangyue!

She is the daughter of the Fox King Mingyue and also Huo's former lover.

Compared to back then, she has lost some of her childishness and become much more mature.

Now she possesses a captivating beauty tinged with a hint of coldness.

His realm had even reached the Profound Realm, just one step away from the True Realm.

Not bad!

She was the one who led the team to destroy the array nodes set up by the human race on the border of the ancient domain!
The seven dark figures following behind her were also all at the Dao Integration stage.

It can be said that most of the Xuan Yue Fox clan's high-end combat force was deployed to this operation.

'After this mission is completed, the pressure on my mother should be less, right?'

Yang Yue thought to herself silently.

As the first race to betray humanity and join the Cang race, they did initially receive preferential treatment.

Unlike the later powerful clans that came to join them, they did not need to send their elites to fight the humans to the death.

However, this kind of 'preferential treatment' also has its limits.

Especially in the last hundred years, the Cang Clan has suffered a great loss of vitality, and the frequency of conflicts with the human race has become increasingly higher.

Even the Cang Clan themselves have to go to the battlefield, so why shouldn't the Xuan Yue Fox Clan, who has come to join them, be allowed to go?
My mother has been under increasing pressure over the years.

Too many races are dissatisfied with the Xuan Yue Fox Clan.

That's why we had this operation tonight.

Yang Yue applied for the execution herself.

After all, having enjoyed the clan's support for so many years, it's time for them to give back.

Thoughts raced through my mind.

She had already led seven Xuan Yue Foxes to the pale gold 'boundary' and took out a jade talisman with a vibrant purple aura from her bosom to activate it.

Silently.

An invisible wave spread out, instantly enveloping her and the other seven Xuan Yue Foxes.

The mysterious and enigmatic meaning seems to have changed something.

Call ~
Yang Yue let out a soft breath and gestured for the Xuan Yue Foxes behind her to follow.

The next second, they rushed towards that pale golden 'boundary' and passed right through it!

There was no sound at all throughout the entire process.

It was as if all traces had been erased by that mysterious and profound meaning, as if they had never existed.

Within the boundaries.

On a barren, flat piece of land, a black tower nearly a hundred meters high stands, its body etched with faint golden patterns that flicker in and out.

At the very top of the tower is a pale gold prism.

Countless invisible threads of psionic energy extended from the pale golden prism, disappearing into all directions.

This is a grand formation designed by the Sword Ancestor and a human cultivator from the Cave of True Formations.

This node has only just been established and is still tangible in the real world.

Once it has fully adapted to the psionic frequency of this area, it will completely disappear into the void, at which point even a True Immortal would find it extremely difficult to detect.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yang Yue led the seven Dao-Merging Xuan Yue Foxes towards the tower.

however……

Without any warning, a figure dressed in a gray robe, with an extremely gloomy aura, suddenly appeared beside the Black Tower.

He had an ordinary appearance, and a lingering sense of melancholy hung between his brows.

Looking up at Yang Yue, his eyes were filled with an intense, unyielding killing intent.

But soon, his expression froze, and his murderous intent was instantly replaced by undisguised ecstasy.

"Hahaha! It's you! It's actually you!!!"

He suddenly burst into laughter, his expression almost manic, as if he had gone mad.

Yang Yue paused, and after recognizing who it was, a complex expression appeared in her eyes.

No longer confused...

I never imagined that our reunion would be under such circumstances.

But soon, her eyes hardened, she took out a jade talisman, activated it, and threw it forward.

Wow~
Like a long river formed from moonlight, it unfolded with unstoppable force, crashing towards Huo and the array nodes behind him!
This was her mother's trump card for survival.

Even if Bu Huo has now become Dong Zhen, he could never be his mother's...

"Very good!!!"

Huo spread his five fingers and reached forward to grasp the long river of moonlight, tearing it apart!

If it were an ordinary Dongzhen, he probably wouldn't have been able to discover it.

But this is a mystery!
“I’ve been dreaming about this day!” he roared.

The terrifying Cavernous Domain instantly expanded, enveloping the surroundings and causing visible distortions!
Whether it's Yang Yue or the seven Xuan Yue Foxes she brought with her, all of them are at the Dao Integration Realm.

They were all like tiny insects trapped in amber, unable to struggle at all.

Soon, the seven Xuan Yue Foxes at the Dao Integration Realm could not withstand the pressure, and their bodies began to twist and deform, revealing their true forms one by one.

Yangyue was also struggling to hold on, her face showing pain.

As Huo approached step by step, Yang Yue gritted her teeth and stubbornly looked up at him.

"Are you really... going to kill me?"

"Kill you?" A maniacal, even morbid, smile appeared on Huo's face. "Why would I kill you now?"

Just when Yangyue felt there was still a glimmer of hope.

Huo spread his five fingers wide and grabbed her face, almost crushing her skull.

"How can I quell my hatred without extracting your soul and refining it to light lamps for ten thousand years?!"

He was laughing and crying at the same time.

"That old hag Mingyue... that old hag Mingyue!!"

"One day, I'll make her wish she were dead! I'll make her suffer every kind of torture imaginable!!!"

boom!
Yang Yue's head was squeezed so hard it exploded, and a divine soul as clear as moonlight escaped, being carried away by a force.

But it was easily dispelled by the illusion, and even its soul was firmly grasped in their hands! (End of Chapter)
