Projection of the Heavens: I prove my immortality through slaughter.

The mournful tolling of the Soul-Suppressing Bell still echoed in his ears, and the tactile sensation of the silver immortal light condensing into his sleeve remained. Lin Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, his black robe fluttering gently in the aftershocks of energy, his gaze calmly sweeping over the three gradually cooling corpses of the immortal envoys in the void.

There was no elation after victory, no trepidation after slaying the celestial envoy, and hardly any emotional fluctuation. It was as if what he had just crushed was not a high and mighty celestial envoy, but merely three noisy and bothersome mosquitoes.

However, deep within his consciousness, above his unbreakable Dao heart, a transformation far more intense and profound than the battle just now was quietly taking place.

The scenes of the battle, especially the final look in Leng Yue Xian Shi's eyes—from extreme arrogance to despair and fear—repeatedly etched into his mind like a brand.

"Celestial Court Patrol Division..." "Kneel and surrender!" "Your body and soul will be annihilated, forever imprisoned in the Nine Netherworlds!" "The Celestial Court will never let you go!"

These words, filled with a sense of superiority and threat, washed over his mind like a cold tide.

Once upon a time, the terms "Immortal Realm" and "Immortals" held a lofty, mysterious, and unattainable place in the hearts of countless cultivators in the lower realms. It was the ultimate goal of ascension, the other shore of immortality, and the ultimate manifestation of the Dao. For Lin Xuan, who was born on the Dharma-ending Earth in his previous life and struggles in the Xuan Tian Star Domain in this life, the concept of an immortal was also a distant and powerful one.

He originally thought that immortals should be beings who are free from worldly affairs, who govern the laws, and who maintain balance.

But what we see today is that this so-called immortal envoy's arrogance, barbarity, and attitude of regarding the lower realms as worthless are no different from those bullying and plundering cultivators. In fact, because he has more power and stands in a higher position, his behavior is even more despicable!

What they uphold is not the fairness of Heaven, but the unquestionable authority of the Celestial Court! Their so-called order is nothing more than a tool to imprison all living beings and consolidate their own rule!

"Such an immortal is worthy of governing reincarnation and determining the fate of all beings?" A cold question, like a seed, sprouted from the depths of his Dao heart.

He thought of the land where gods had fallen, where countless remnants of divine and demonic souls lay helpless and adrift in eternal torment. Did the Celestial Court know? If so, why did they do nothing? Was it unwillingness, or inability? Or perhaps… the incompleteness of reincarnation was inherently intertwined with the Celestial Court?

The celestial messenger came because he had touched upon the cycle of reincarnation and made a grand vow in the underworld. His attitude was tough and uncompromising, and he was quick to kill and suppress.

This clearly demonstrates that the Celestial Court, or rather certain entities within the Celestial Court, will absolutely not allow anyone in the lower realms to touch upon the authority of reincarnation! This touches upon their fundamental interests and challenges the rules they have established!

"My path is transcendence, freedom, and control." "I will shape the underworld, establish the order of reincarnation, and guide wandering souls." "But the Celestial Court seeks to maintain the status quo, uphold its supreme authority, and obstruct my path."

The contradiction is irreconcilable.

Conflict is inevitable.

The slaying of three celestial envoys today is merely the first insignificant ripple in this monstrous wave. It is foreseeable that even stronger and more numerous immortals will descend to the mortal realm in the future, using even more ruthless methods to crush this "rebellious immortal"!

Should we get a refund?

Surrendering one's understanding of reincarnation, abandoning one's grand ambitions in the underworld, and bowing down to the celestial court—perhaps this could buy temporary peace?

The moment that thought arose, Lin Xuan crushed it without hesitation!

His Dao heart was as clear as a mirror, reflecting his true aspirations. Retreat, compromise, submission… these words had never existed in his dictionary! If one were to bend one's spine for power, or abandon one's path for difficulties, what would be the point of cultivating truth? What would be the point of seeking the Dao? It would be better to be an ordinary person, living a mundane life!

Before his eyes, the scene of countless remnants of gods and demons struggling and roaring seemed to reappear, along with the cold gaze of the Cold Moon Immortal Envoy, who looked down on him like an ant.

Two images intertwined, and an unprecedented, resolute will, like magma surging deep within the Earth's core, accumulated, boiled, and finally erupted in his chest!

So what if they're immortals?!

They are merely a group of beings who have wielded greater power and occupied higher positions! They are neither born holy nor invincible!

Today, with his early Nascent Soul cultivation, he managed to slay three Nascent Soul Grand Perfection Immortal Envoys by virtue of his words becoming law and his own strength! In the future, with even higher cultivation and a deeper understanding of the laws, why can't he slay even stronger Immortals? Why can't he... slay all Immortals who obstruct his path?!

"Anyone who obstructs my path may be slain!"

These eight words, like thunder from the heavens, resounded deep within his Dao heart! No longer a vague thought, they transformed into an incomparably clear and unbreakable belief! A fearlessness that transcended even the instinctive awe of the immortal realm! A will to slay immortals and defy all authority!

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan's entire demeanor underwent a sudden change!

Previously, although he was decisive and ruthless, and his Dao heart was firm, when facing the immortal envoy, perhaps a trace of his habitual understanding of the concept of "immortal" still lingered deep in his heart. But at this moment, that last invisible constraint was completely severed!

His eyes had become deeper and sharper. The previous calm and indifference had faded, replaced by a fierce and domineering gaze that seemed to look down upon all heavens and gods!

It was as if a divine sword that had been sealed away for a long time had finally been drawn, revealing its unparalleled sharpness that could cut through all illusions and destroy all obstacles!

My path is one of courageous advancement and unwavering progress! I will slay gods and Buddhas alike! If immortals stand in my way, I will—slay them!

This determination to slay immortals, far from conflicting with his grand vow to the underworld, merged perfectly. To establish reincarnation, one must break the old order! To save all living beings, one must first slay evil immortals! This seemed to be the path he was destined to walk, the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood he had to traverse on his path to transcendence!

"Buzz—!"

Within his dantian, the ancient nascent soul seemed to sense the unwavering and fearless belief of its master, and suddenly shone brightly! The scenes of the universe's birth and death in the nascent soul's eyes accelerated once more, and within that cycle of birth and death, a faint trace of sharp sword intent that severed cause and effect and destroyed all laws appeared! The nascent soul's form seemed to become more solid, and its aura more vast.

His path, his will, underwent a crucial sublimation after this battle and this enlightenment!

Lin Xuan slowly raised his hand, looking at his fair and slender fingers, which contained the power to shatter stars, his eyes cold and resolute.

"The Celestial Court... this is only the beginning."

With a flick of his sleeve, an invisible force swept up the corpses of the three immortal envoys and their remaining storage treasures, completely refining and annihilating them without leaving a trace. Since a deadly enmity had been formed, there was no need for pretense of benevolence.

After doing all this, he turned his gaze to the dark and endless depths of the ancient starry road.

The road ahead is destined to be fraught with thorns and surrounded by formidable enemies.

But in his heart, there was only the ambition to slay the immortals, burning like oil on a raging fire, growing ever stronger!

"Come, let me see, among all these celestial beings and gods, who can stand in my way, Lin Xuan's path!"

He took a step forward, his figure transforming into a streak of light tearing through the darkness, carrying an unwavering determination and incomparably sharp edge, resolutely charging towards that unknown future, destined to be filled with blood and fire.

Once the thought of slaying the immortal arose, the barrier between immortals and mortals was broken.

From this day forward, the path to immortality is long and arduous, and I will sever it with a single sword!
