Immortal-Exterminating Divine Venerable

”Did it work?”

The Golden-winged Roc was a little nervous.

Xue Yi, standing to the side, was expressionless.

She knew this Golden-winged Roc had its own agenda, but its actions did indeed align with Xuan Tianzhan’s interests. And she was here to help Xuan Tianzhan.

So, Xue Yi said nothing.

But deep down, the image of Yang Xiao couldn’t help but surface.

’What a pity.’

She sighed internally, not quite knowing why she felt it was a pity.

Xuan Tianzhan, on the other hand, was ecstatic.

Because, just as the Golden-winged Roc had said, he had succeeded.

At the same time, through the Little Beihuang Order, he could sense a total of three rules he could now change.

The first would allow him to make every Barbaric Beast in the entire Sword Mansion die at the same time.

The second would allow him to arbitrarily adjust the flow of time on the third layer of the Northern Wilderness Sword Mansion once.

The third would allow him to lift the restriction that prevented Barbaric Beasts from entering any Land of Inheritance.

’I’d really love to use the first one, but...’

Thinking about how Yang Xiao was already in the third layer of the Sword Mansion, Xuan Tianzhan suppressed the urge and glanced at the somewhat nervous Golden-winged Roc in the distance.

He nodded.

”I’m changing the rule now. Get ready.”

By now, Xuan Tianzhan had vaguely sensed that the Golden-winged Roc might have some kind of grudge against Yang Xiao. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have sought him out so eagerly.

However, the two had already sworn a world-binding oath, and both wanted Yang Xiao dead.

Such details were naturally unimportant.

”Don’t worry. As soon as the rule is changed, that kid is a dead man.”

”Good!”

With a low shout.

Xuan Tianzhan began to change the rule.

When his will spread out through the authority of the Token...

Originally, every Land of Inheritance emitted an aura that prevented Barbaric Beasts from approaching. But now, that aura had vanished.

The Barbaric Beasts standing guard outside the Lands of Inheritance—whether they were Tier Five or Tier Six Barbaric Beast Kings...

...and regardless of the level of the Land of Inheritance...

Chaos.

Began.

The third layer was still fine.

Under the Golden-winged Roc’s control, the other Barbaric Beast Kings didn’t move, even though they sensed the change.

They were all awaiting the Golden-winged Roc’s command.

But the 1st Layer and 2nd Layer were a different story.

The Overlord of the 1st Layer, the Thousand-Winged Serpent Eagle, was currently guarding the valley where the First-Layer Inheritance Tower that Yang Xiao first entered was located. Furthermore, its power wasn’t enough to control all the Barbaric Beasts on the 1st Layer.

So, the very instant the aura disappeared...

...all the Barbaric Beasts that sensed it went into a frenzy.

They charged toward the Lands of Inheritance they had guarded for thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, or even longer.

In an instant.

Countless Lands of Inheritance were destroyed by them.

Resources were plundered and trampled.

The entire Northern Wilderness Sword Mansion began to suffer the greatest calamity since its creation.

As for the 2nd Layer.

It was even worse.

The original Overlord Level existence, the Golden-winged Hairy Roc, had already died under Yang Xiao’s Heaven-Fighting Divine Palace. The only being comparable to it, the Purple-scaled Blood Horned Flood Dragon, had also been brought to the third layer by Yang Xiao.

You could say...

...the 2nd Layer had become a true land of bloodshed.

A land of chaos.

For inheritance.

For treasures.

For the position of Overlord.

All the Barbaric Beast Kings were seeing red, caught in a killing frenzy.

Fighting.

Slaughtering.

It never ceased.

And the effect this had on Yang Xiao was even more fatal.

Because this was, from the very beginning, a conspiracy aimed at him.

Only, at this moment, Yang Xiao didn’t know this.

And what he knew even less...

...was that it wasn’t just him.

His friends, too...

...had been plunged into a great crisis because of this change in the rules.

...

「1st Layer.」

In a scorching hot valley.

Lu Fangliang was sitting cross-legged within it.

Ever since he got separated from Yang Xiao, Bing Xin, and Yang Ziling after entering the 1st Layer of the Northern Wilderness Sword Mansion...

...Lu Fangliang had gone through many trials and tribulations before finding this valley.

The valley seemed to contain a residual aura related to Greater Yang Qi.

Inside was a set of golden bones that looked like a bird. It had three feet and emanated a terrifying heat.

This heat was different from telluric fire or any other flame; instead, it resonated with the Greater Yang Qi inside Lu Fangliang’s body.

If Yang Xiao were here, he would probably recognize it.

This was likely the corpse of a juvenile Three-legged Golden Crow.

The Three-legged Golden Crow, said to be born from within the sun, was naturally endowed with True Greater Yang Fire. It was an extremely terrifying and tyrannical Divine Beast, not in the least bit inferior to the Golden-winged Roc or the Undying Fire Phoenix.

But they were even rarer than the other two.

The reason the 1st Layer of the Northern Wilderness Sword Mansion had the corpse of a Three-legged Golden Crow was that the Divine King presiding over the 1st Layer had left it here.

He had originally intended to leave it for his descendants, but unfortunately, not long after obtaining it, he was summoned by the Northern Wilderness Divine King to set out for a life-and-death battle.

So he sealed it here, turning it into a Land of Inheritance.

And Lu Fangliang was the one to benefit.

Originally, if the rules hadn’t changed, this corpse alone would have been enough for Lu Fangliang to advance his Greater Yang Treasure Body by several stages.

But now...

...at the most critical moment...

...a terrifying Cyan-faced Demon Rhinoceros burst in.

Its strength as a Tier Six Barbaric Beast King startled Lu Fangliang the moment it entered.

The two faced off against each other.

What was even more terrifying was that even if Lu Fangliang used his Greater Yang God Arrow to kill this Beast King...

...behind it...

...more Barbaric Beast Kings were swarming toward this place.

Lu Fangliang.

He wouldn’t last long.

But compared to Lu Fangliang...

...Yang Tian and the others were in an even more tragic situation.

They were originally protected by this Inheritance Valley and could have stalled for time against the Thousand-Winged Serpent Eagle outside.

But now, the rules had been changed.

Although the Thousand-Winged Serpent Eagle wasn’t the first to react...

...by the time it did...

...barely a few minutes had passed.

In a flash...

...it entered the valley.

It stared coldly at the people who looked like ants in its eyes.

”This time, I’d like to see who can save you now!”

Its appearance...

...startled Yang Lin, Yang Ziling, Bing Xin, and the others.

Only Yang Tian...

...seemed to have calculated something.

His expression was extremely grim.

Immediately after, mysterious symbols began to flicker continuously in his eyes.

But after just a moment...

BLECH.

Yang Tian spat out a mouthful of blood.

Startling everyone around him again.

But Yang Tian just mumbled, ”It’s chaos. Everything is in chaos. Now, I can’t calculate anything!”

”What in the world happened? How did this thing get in?”

Yang Lin couldn’t help but ask.

Yang Tian subconsciously glanced at him, but his eyes were vacant.

Seeing this...

...everyone’s hearts sank to the pit of their stomachs.

As for the Thousand-Winged Serpent Eagle, it just sneered. ”Haha, allow me to tell you. The Sword Mansion has a new master, the rules have changed, and all of you are going to die today!”

”Kill!”

As soon as the word was spoken, the Thousand-Winged Serpent Eagle let out a cold screech and lunged forward.

The expressions on Yang Lin and the others’ faces changed drastically.

If what this creature said was true...

...then didn’t that mean...

...Xuan Tianzhan...

...had become the master of the Sword Mansion?

Then Yang Xiao...

No, it wasn’t just Yang Xiao.

They themselves...

...at this very moment...

...were in immense danger.

’What do we do?’

Just then, Yang Tian, who had been in a state of shock, stepped forward.
