Immortal-Exterminating Divine Venerable

”Taiyin Sword Array, annihilate!”

Yue Lingxi, clad in white, weaved her hands in a dance. Eighty-one strands of Taiyin Sword Qi, like streaks of moonlight, coalesced into a terrifying Sword Array and surged toward Ye Donghuang.

At this moment, Ye Donghuang looked utterly haggard.

He was struggling to hold on.

His expression changed drastically as he watched the terrifying Taiyin Sword Array attack.

’Damn it! If this bitch’s aura hadn’t locked onto me, I could have definitely escaped. But now...’

He was filled with bitterness.

He couldn’t accept it.

Ye Donghuang knew full well that he couldn’t take many more attacks. If he were defeated, his fate would be the same as that of his clansmen who had died at Yue Lingxi’s hands.

He remembered how they had been completely absorbed by the Bloodthirsty Sword in Yang Xiao’s hand, leaving nothing behind. Even all the items they carried had been taken.

Ye Donghuang found such a fate utterly unacceptable.

But no matter how unwilling he was, Yue Lingxi would show no mercy.

Her assault grew ever more ferocious.

Ye Donghuang was on the verge of collapsing.

Finally, he made a decision.

”Even in death, I won’t let you have an easy time of it! Burn, my bloodline! O invincible, omnipotent ancestors, hear the call of your descendant! Awaken from beneath the earth and slay the enemies who have destroyed the next generation of the Ye Family!”

Ye Donghuang suddenly began to chant loudly.

More terrifying still, all the Blood Qi in his body began to boil.

A mysterious power radiated from the boiling Blood Qi, seemingly triggering something. The very ground of the Profound Sun Secret Realm began to tremble faintly.

The expressions of both Yang Xiao and Yue Lingxi changed drastically.

Yue Lingxi, in particular, seemed to realize something. She immediately unleashed her full power, trying to kill Ye Donghuang.

However, the terrifying Blood Qi formed a steadfast shield around the man, and Yue Lingxi’s Taiyin Sword Qi could not penetrate it at all.

”Haha, nervous now, are we? It’s useless! This Secret Skill of mine is a Supreme Secret Technique from the Ancient Era. The likes of you could never interrupt it! Haha, seeing you like this makes me so happy! Although I too will die after using this Secret Technique, you will certainly die before I do!”

Ye Donghuang burst into crazed laughter.

But a closer look would reveal the desolation in his eyes.

Clearly, this was not a move of mutual destruction he would have willingly used, but faced with Yue Lingxi’s increasingly ferocious assault, he had no other choice.

Ye Donghuang could only use this Secret Technique.

To take them down with him.

’It was all of you who forced me to do this.’

Ye Donghuang’s heart was filled with hatred.

Meanwhile, the faces of Yue Lingxi and Yang Xiao had turned pale.

”Lord Xiao, what do we do now?”

Even though her cultivation was fully restored, at this critical juncture, Yue Lingxi’s first instinct was to ask Yang Xiao for help.

Apparently, in the days they had spent together, the young woman had truly come to see Yang Xiao as her pillar of support.

”Let’s get out of here first,”

Yang Xiao said with a light cough.

He had been gravely injured before.

He hadn’t had time to treat his injuries. However, he had collected a number of Storage Rings from the Immortal Cultivators, and there was no shortage of Spirit Medicine inside. Given a little time, Yang Xiao could quickly nurse himself back to health.

But for now, it seemed wisest to leave first.

”Mm.”

Yue Lingxi nodded lightly and stepped forward to support Yang Xiao.

However, the moment she steadied him, the Taiyin Qi within her body uncontrollably intertwined with the True Greater Yang Fire within Yang Xiao’s.

”Our auras have opposing attributes, but they’ve also blended before, so they automatically entangle whenever we touch. All right, don’t worry about the details. We have to go now.”

Seeing the young woman freeze up, as if she had completely forgotten their predicament,

Yang Xiao couldn’t help but clear his throat to remind her.

At his words, Yue Lingxi’s face turned an even deeper shade of red. She couldn’t help but recall the time Yang Xiao had pulled her out of the Nine Nether Earth Rift.

’Back then, I thought he was just being fresh with me. I never imagined it was because of this. But if that’s the case, doesn’t that mean Lord Xiao and I are a match made in heaven?’

At this thought, Yue Lingxi felt a mix of nervousness, shyness, and a flutter of joy.

She glanced at Yang Xiao, only to see his confused expression.

She instantly snapped back to reality.

”Right. Let’s leave here first.”

Composing her expression, Yue Lingxi helped Yang Xiao up, ready to leave.

However, that brief interlude, short as it was, had cost them their best chance to escape.

”Death is upon you, yet you still have the gall to make eyes at each other! You both deserve to die! Ancestors, come forth!”

With that, Ye Donghuang let out a low roar.

The trembling of the earth grew even more violent.

Immediately after,

enormous figures began to burst forth from the ground.

Their divine might was awe-inspiring, their presence overwhelming.

Yang Xiao recognized them at a glance: they were all Heroic Spirits left behind by True God Level powerhouses.

And there were an immense number of them.

They were packed so densely that they seemed to cover the entire Profound Sun Secret Realm.

”Haha, the ancestral Heroic Spirits have appeared! You brat, you bitch, you’re dead for sure!”

Ye Donghuang said triumphantly, even as he coughed up blood.

The expressions on Yang Xiao and Yue Lingxi’s faces grew even darker.

Ye Donghuang, however, turned to the nearest Heroic Spirit and said respectfully, ”Ancestor, these two have killed many members of our Ye Family. I implore you to strike them down and slay these two scoundrels!”

”Hmm?”

Hearing his words, the colossal True Divine Heroic Spirit, which resembled a Divine Spirit, seemed to truly awaken.

It opened its eyes and, with a dazed expression, glanced at Yang Xiao and Yue Lingxi.

Then, its gaze turned toward Ye Donghuang.

’It’s awake! The Heroic Spirit has revived! It looks like those two are dead for sure.’

Seeing this, Ye Donghuang was ecstatic.

Yue Lingxi, on the other hand, braced herself for a difficult fight.

As a disciple of the Holy Palace, she knew full well that although these True Divine Heroic Spirits had lost their physical bodies and complete consciousness, they still retained over eighty percent of their Divine Soul Power.

The power they could exert was at least thirty percent of what it was at their peak.

And for a True God Level powerhouse—especially one like this, who looked particularly ancient and mighty—thirty percent of their power was more than enough to kill an ordinary, newly ascended True God.

Even Yue Lingxi had no confidence she could win for certain.

”Ancestor, strike! Kill them!”

Ye Donghuang was clearly aware of this as well, and his expression grew even more excited.

However, what the True Divine Heroic Spirit did next left all three of them utterly dumbfounded.

Because it didn’t attack Yang Xiao or Yue Lingxi at all.

Instead, it raised its hand and snatched Ye Donghuang up in its palm.

”Traitor! A descendant of the Ye Family who cultivates an Immortal Dao Technique is nothing but a traitor! Now die!”

With a furious roar, the once-triumphant Ye Donghuang—who had sacrificed everything to use his Secret Technique to kill Yang Xiao and Yue Lingxi—was instantly crushed into nothingness.

He vanished from the world without even a chance to scream.

Dead!

Killed by the ancestral True Spirit he had summoned with his own Secret Technique.

What a pathetic end.

An absolutely pathetic end!
