After the Great Dao died

Chen Lingxi processed the information in her mind, her gaze still fixed on the killing power cauldron, the Enemy-Slaying Spirit Wall.

This small, token-like spirit stone was now radiating a strange light, revealing a chilling aura of killing intent.

An unimaginable sense of antiquity permeates it.

Chen Lingxi was still somewhat surprised.

"This fragment of the killing cauldron is different from the other fragments of cauldrons. The information engraved on it seems to contain some secrets of heaven and earth."

"For example, the Great Heavenly General of the Immortal Capital gathered the ferocious energy of the Daoist corpses to forge the Enemy-Slaying Spirit Wall..."

"The bronze vessel was actually cast by man?"

Chen Lingxi frowned, still somewhat incredulous.

Who else possesses such great power to forge this bronze vessel?

"Or perhaps, different tripods are not all the same; some are born of nature, while others are cast by humans?"

Chen Ling pondered, "And which power is this Immortal Capital? I wonder how it compares to the Daoxia Academy, the Calamity Sea, or the Southern Heaven Domain?"

Thinking of this, he shook his head slightly. "Xian Du should be much stronger than these forces, after all, the Great Heavenly General of Xian Du is capable of forging cauldrons."

However, the Daoist academy, or even the E'hai and Nantianyu regions, would need to send numerous disciples to this grotto-heaven to compete for a single complete cauldron.

As Chen Lingxi pondered this, the profound and mighty power of the Enemy-Slaying Spirit Wall lingered in his mind, and he couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

Although the Demon-Slaying Spirit Jade is merely a fragment of a cauldron, it can be used five times.

Those who wield the Spirit Wall of Slaughter can lock down enemies within it. Once the Spirit Wall has locked down an enemy, the one wielding the Killing Cauldron will face that person, and their own supernatural powers will be amplified tenfold by applying them to the enemy.

For example, right now Chen Lingxi is on the Enemy-Slaying Spirit Wall, locking onto Yuan Yuan of the Imperial Court. The next time he faces Yuan Yuan, Chen Lingxi will use killing techniques, such as the Azure Edge Technique or the Dragon's Roar Technique. As long as it falls on Yuan Yuan, its power will increase tenfold out of thin air.

The method for locking down the enemy is extremely simple.

For example, the person's name, a wisp of their spirit, or the person in person—any of these are acceptable.

However, it will take one or two days to use the cauldron to lock down the enemy, so it cannot be used in actual combat.

Chen Lingxi sensed the extraordinary power of this fragment of the cauldron and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

"No wonder Lin Su Ri once said that the Killing Power Cauldron is extremely rare, and once a cultivator obtains a fragment of this Killing Power Cauldron, even the cultivators on the third floor of the Ascending Heaven will be wary of it."

"Moreover, even a mere fragment of a cauldron is so powerful. I wonder how powerful this Spirit Wall would be if it were intact." Chen Lingxi's expression was filled with barely suppressed surprise.

"It's a pity that this Enemy-Slaying Spirit Jade can't be used in actual combat, otherwise it would be even more mysterious."

As he thought this, his divine sense entered the divine chamber.

Inside the shrine, clouds churned in the sky, and tadpole-shaped characters, shimmering with light, hung suspended above the clouds.

The progress of the complete awakening has been achieved.

As Chen Lingxi sensed the slowly fading yet still largely remaining mysterious power within him, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

He took a deep breath, activated his Qi Observation Technique, and gazed into the distance!

But we could only see two or three hundred miles away.

The eight military units that had previously surrounded and killed many who had tried to seize the throne have now assembled.

Of the more than 8,000 people, only 4,000 to 5,000 remained after being subjected to the mysterious techniques and supernatural powers of many powerful individuals.

But for Chen Lingxi, four or five thousand people were enough.

Chen Lingxi's divine sense entered the Hongdong Bag, focusing on the black banner. Within the banner seemed to be brewing some extremely mysterious aura, rising and falling, as if telling Chen Lingxi…

Mysterious and powerful supernatural abilities are within reach.

"This mysterious person with an otherworldly air about him has no known origin, but with a casual wisp of spiritual light, he was able to improve my cultivation level so much."

This person is clearly extraordinary...

However, there are many evil spirits in this world, and cultivators often scheme against each other.

This person's cultivation is so profound that I must be wary.

Chen Lingxi muttered to himself, yet he still remembered the mysterious cultivator's promise.

"That so-called great opportunity is really attractive."

If I didn't possess the power of complete enlightenment, it wouldn't matter. But since I do have this power, I must see whether this great opportunity is truly real or not.

Upon reaching this point, Chen Lingxi acted almost without hesitation.

His heart stirred slightly!

In an instant, his consciousness sank into the divine chamber, landing on Chen Lingxi within it. At the same time, the world suddenly changed.

Suddenly, two bright mirrors appeared in the sky, one like the sun and the other like the moon.

The sun and moon shone brightly, instantly turning the entire landscape a dazzling white.

Whether it's the bright mirror or the blazing white light, only Chen Lingxi can see it.

This is the Chejue Divine Chamber.

Chen Ling's consciousness drifted into it, and she slowly opened her eyes.

His body was enveloped in a surge of spiritual energy, and in an instant, the cloud-riding technique beneath his feet suddenly emitted fragments of lightning light.

With the help of the mysterious middle-aged man's profound power, Chen Lingxi's cloud-riding technique also entered a wonderful realm.

How fast is the Wonderful Realm Cloud Ascension Technique?

Chen Lingxi was like a falling star, almost turning into a blur as she soared through the void.

An unimaginable aura emanated from his body, carrying with it a surging and astonishing killing intent.

—In the far distance, Xi Yu was fleeing. The tornado seemed to be reaching its limit. Wherever it passed, the clouds and mist were blown away, and the surrounding spiritual energy was also drawn in by the tornado and merged into itself.

Inside the tornado, Xi Yu was sitting cross-legged in meditation.

Bai Lingze's eyes flashed with spiritual light, but his face was icy cold.

"Is this Chen Lingxi a person from the Thunder Pool?" Bai Lingze asked.

Xi Yu slowly opened his eyes, shook his head and said, "The Thunder Illumination Sword in his hand was made by Lu Baizhong. During the struggle for the Mother Qi of Ancestral Mountain, he should have killed Lu Baizhong and obtained the Thunder Illumination Sword and the Thunder Hidden Sword Scripture from Lu Baizhong."

Therefore, it seems that Chen Lingxi is not someone who belongs to the Thunder Pool.

"Unknown origins?" Bai Lingze sneered. "Judging from his background, he should also come from a prestigious sect, or at the very least, a celestial clan!"

Xi Yu remained silent.

Bai Lingze's smile remained unchanged as he shook his head and said, "I cultivate the [Tai Ming Yu Wan Dao]! The most important thing in cultivating this path is to have a clear mind and to eliminate attachments."

I have a grudge against Chen Lingxi, and I must kill him.

Xi Yu... have you sensed the other bright jade?

Xi Yu nodded slowly. Bai Lingze said, "Find another piece of bright jade. When the two pieces are combined, my other incarnation in this world will awaken and merge with me."

I'll kill him then!

Xi Yu sat cross-legged, shutting out his five senses, and closed his eyes to breathe.

Bai Lingze's gaze fell on Xi Yu, a hint of greed in his eyes.

It was as if Xi Yu before them was not some kind of Taoist cultivator, but an extremely rare and precious treasure.

It's as if by obtaining this extraordinary treasure, he could gain all his supernatural powers and step into the Golden Palace!

Just then, a terrifying fluctuation of spiritual energy suddenly came from the far distance.

This fluctuation startled Xi Yu awake.

Xi Yu awoke from her breathing exercises and looked into the distance.

Bai Lingze's avatar did the same; he simply flicked his sleeve, and a screen of light suddenly appeared in the void.

Various scenes appeared on the light screen.

The two men's expressions changed slightly. They saw Chen Lingxi, with the Thunder Illumination Sword at his waist, ride the clouds and land above the numerous soldiers of qi and blood.

"What is Chen Lingxi going to do?"

Bai Lingze frowned, and Xi Yu's eyes flickered slightly.

The next moment, the two of them clearly saw Chen Lingxi calmly draw the Thunder Illumination Sword from his waist.

In an instant, rolling thunder flowed from the sword, and an unimaginable aura emanated from Chen Lingxi.

At the same time, it seemed as if a divine being was beating a heavenly drum in the void, making a loud and resounding noise.

Streaks of lightning sword light burst forth from Chen Lingxi's precious sword!

This thunder was so intense that it raged across the void.

The twelve sword energies were like twelve lightning chains, moving freely.

The killing began.

Bai Lingze and Xi Yu fell silent.

Their silence was not due to astonishment at Chen Lingxi's slaughter, but rather to the profound Thunder Hidden Sword Scripture he possessed. "The struggle for the Ancestral Mountain's Mother Qi has lasted only a year or two."

If Chen Lingxi truly obtained the Thunder Hidden Sword Scripture from Lu Baizhong, how could he have cultivated this profound sword scripture, the Jade Tiger Marquis's Scripture, to the intermediate level in such a short time?

Bai Lingze frowned and slowly spoke.

Xi Yu frowned as well, but shook his head: "No, it's not just the intermediate level."

The twelve-beat drumbeat of that day was incredibly profound, its power entirely at the command of the heart. This Chen Lingxi has likely already touched upon the wondrous realm of the Thunder Hidden Sword Scripture, and soon, perhaps he will be able to unleash the renowned Jade Tiger Rebellious Sea Sword Light of Thunder Pool!

Bai Lingze's pupils contracted.

The Jade Tiger Rebellious Sea Sword Light is an extremely profound divine power. If Chen Lingxi can master such a profound sword light in such a short time, then...

Bai Lingze's sneer deepened.

"It's worth it for me to use my Dao Foundation Divine Power, or even a cauldron artifact, to kill him."

Just then, Xi Yu suddenly spoke up, saying, "I just don't know what this person's background is. He now wields many techniques. The Heaven-Seizing Seal comes from the Calamity Sea, and the Longevity Bridge is a divine power he obtained from Xi Yuan of the Xi family of Que Xing."

The Thunder Treasury Sword Scripture is the Thunder Pool Divine Power.

Upon closer examination, this person's supernatural abilities are a hodgepodge, making it impossible to discern his origins. "It doesn't matter... My Bai family is a True Monarch Immortal Clan! Your Que Xing Xi family is the same. In the Great Xuan Zhuo Realm's Dao Struggle, even if someone is a Xuan Monarch's offspring, I dare to kill them."

Upon hearing Bai Lingze's words, Xi Yu looked at him more closely and asked, "Brother Dao, how many great supernatural powers have you cultivated so far?"

Bai Lingze raised his head and laughed, "I have cultivated three Dao Foundation Great Divine Powers and entered the late stage of Dao Foundation."

Then, as the two were talking...

Chen Lingxi seemed to transform into a bolt of lightning, moving among the many martial artists with qi and blood!

His sword light was so sharp that it could often cut down hundreds of people with a single sweep of lightning.

Then there was the Bridge of Immortality, which crashed and killed countless people.

The eight military units here originally numbered only four or five thousand, and among them, only two ninth-level cultivators remained to lead the troops.

How could two ninth-level cultivators, along with four or five thousand people whose formation was incomplete, possibly stop Chen Lingxi?

Chen Lingxi was like a wolf among sheep, and in a short time, he had already wiped out more than half of the four or five thousand people.

"Three thousand people..."

Chen Lingxi unleashed a Heaven-Seizing Seal, drawing upon the spiritual energy within a hundred feet of the surrounding area. He transformed it into a massive handprint, which slammed down, killing over a hundred people. He vaguely sensed that the black banner within his Hongdong Bag seemed to undergo some changes.

This roughly proves that he has killed three thousand people.

Chen Lingxi was neither a merciful person nor a bloodthirsty one.

Once he had gathered three thousand people, he sheathed his sword and, almost without hesitation, stepped onto the Bridge of Immortality and headed straight for the distant mountains.

The clouds and mist in the sky concealed Chen Lingxi's tracks on the Bridge of Longevity, and Chen Lingxi disappeared from sight.

The valley looked as if it had been through a catastrophe, with severed limbs and cries of agony everywhere.
