I, the Villain, Become Invincible the More Descendants I Have

Chapter 125 First Journey to the Immortal Realm, Sword ShatteredThe moment they crossed the South Heaven Gate, the one hundred thousand elite troops of the Great Xuan Dynasty collectively gasped. A spiritual energy so dense it was nearly liquid rushed toward them; one breath made every pore in their bodies feel like it was rejoicing. Many veterans who had been stuck at the Spirit Transformation stage for years broke through on the spot, their spiritual energy surging, shocking their comrades into stepping back repeatedly.

”Oh my god! This spiritual energy is too ridiculous!” A soldier crouched on the ground, plucking a handful of wild grass from the roadside, his eyes wide. ”This is actually thousand-year-old Spirit Condensing Grass! In the mortal world, it could sell for tens of thousands of spirit stones, yet here it grows everywhere!”

”Look at that river! The fish swimming in it are all Silver Scale Spirit Fish! I heard that eating just one is worth ten years of hard cultivation!”

”And that tree! It’s bearing Vermilion Fruit! I’ve only ever seen it in ancient texts in my entire life!”

The soldiers were as excited as Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, touching this and looking at that, walking on tiptoes for fear of trampling these treasures.

Prince Cao Feng broke free from Feng Qingyan’s hand and chased after a passing fairy crane. With a wave of her small hand, a streak of golden Phoenix True Fire flew out, scaring the crane into flapping its wings and fleeing in a panic. ”Father, look! This big white bird is so stupid! I want to catch it and make it my mount!”

Prince Cao Jian crouched beside a rock, picked up a fragment gleaming with cold light, and said excitedly: ”Father! This is a piece of an immortal sword! There’s even sword energy on it!”

Emperor Cao Xukun smiled and patted the heads of the two children, his gaze sweeping across the surroundings. The Immortal Realm truly lived up to its reputation; every small hill contained dense spiritual energy, and every small stream flowed with spiritual spring water. It was a hundred times better than the top-tier blessed lands of the mortal world.

”Your Majesty, the spiritual energy here is perfect for cultivation!” General Black Tiger was trembling with excitement. ”If we can take root here, within ten years, all one hundred thousand elites will be able to break through to the Tribulation stage! By then, never mind the Qingyun Dynasty, even the Central Dynasty, we could go toe-to-toe with!”

Just as everyone was rejoicing, a burst of arrogant laughter suddenly came from nearby. ”Hahaha! Where did these bumpkins come from? Looking so ignorant, it’s hilarious!”

On a nearby hillside, a group of cultivators in cyan Daoist robes were looking down at them. Leading them was a young man. He was dressed in a brocade robe embroidered with Qingyun patterns, holding a qingyun sword, his hair tied up with a jade crown. His chin was held high, looking down at people with his nostrils, and faint cyan sword energy swirled around him, his aura of pretentiousness fully maxed out.

”I am the Young Master of the Qingyun Dynasty, the Son of Destiny with the qingyun sword Body of the Immortal Realm, Qingyun Fei!” The man swung his qingyun sword violently, and a streak of cyan sword energy slashed out, cutting a large tree in half. ”The Southern Domain is the territory of my Qingyun Dynasty. You bugs from the mortal world dare to trespass! If you’re smart, hand over all your valuables immediately, then kneel and kowtow three times to me, and I might spare your miserable lives!”

His lackeys behind him jeered: ”Young Master is right! Trash from the mortal world dare to come to the Immortal Realm to act wild!”

”Hand over the goods quickly! Otherwise, we’ll throw you all to feed the demonic beasts!”

”And those women, they look pretty good, leave them behind to be the Young Master’s concubines!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the one hundred thousand elite troops of Great Xuan were instantly enraged.

”Damn it! Where did this show-off come from? Daring to call us bugs!”

”Trying to rob the Empress of His Majesty, I think you’re tired of living!”

”Emperor Xuan, let us go up and chop this pretentious prick!”

General Black Tiger’s face turned black with anger. He gripped his broadsword and prepared to rush up: ”Damn it! I’ve chopped more Sons of Destiny in the mortal world than you’ve eaten meals! You little brat who hasn’t even grown your hair out yet, daring to spout such nonsense here!”

”Stop.” Emperor Cao Xukun raised his hand to stop General Black Tiger, holding the soundly sleeping Cao Xuanhuang as he slowly walked forward. He didn’t even look at Qingyun Fei directly, just swept a faint glance at him, his tone as flat as if he were discussing something trivial: ”I’ll give you three seconds. Get lost.”

”What did you say?!” Qingyun Fei looked as if he had heard a massive joke, pointing at Emperor Cao Xukun’s nose and roaring, ”You brat from the mortal world, daring to tell me to get lost? Do you know who I am? I am the Son of Destiny with the qingyun sword Body! The number one genius of the Southern Domain! I broke through to the peak of the Tribulation stage at only three hundred years old! Unrivaled among my peers!”

”Today, I’ll let you see just how powerful a true genius of the Immortal Realm is!” Qingyun Fei raised his qingyun sword, and the cyan sword energy around him surged. ”Qingyun Dragon Slayer! Die!”

With a slash, countless streaks of cyan sword energy converged into a huge cyan dragon, carrying the power to tear through space, charging fiercely at Emperor Cao Xukun. Wherever the dragon passed, deep gullies were carved into the ground, and even the air hissed as it was sliced by the sword energy.

All the lackeys wore gloating expressions. They had seen too many unruly rogue cultivators who ended up being split in half by Qingyun Fei’s sword. In their eyes, this kid from the mortal world would be no exception.

However, Emperor Cao Xukun stood there motionless, not even putting down the child in his arms. Just as the cyan dragon was about to strike him, he slowly raised a finger and tapped it lightly.

”Crack—!”

The seemingly ferocious cyan dragon shattered instantly, turning into countless cyan light spots that dissipated into the air. The qingyun sword in Qingyun Fei’s hand also let out a whimper, and cracks covered the blade.

”Pfft—!”

Qingyun Fei spat out a mouthful of blood, flew backward, and crashed heavily to the ground, rolling several times before stopping. His hair was disheveled, his brocade robe torn, and his face covered in mud, looking utterly wretched.

”Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!” Qingyun Fei’s eyes widened in disbelief. ”I am the qingyun sword Body! I am the number one genius of the Southern Domain! How could you break my ultimate move with just one finger?!”

”Your broken sword body, did you get it from a bargain bin or something?” Emperor Cao Xukun sneered and walked slowly to him. ”Number one genius of the Southern Domain? I think you’re the number one idiot of the Southern Domain. With just this bit of skill, you dare to come out and rob people?”

”I don’t accept this! I don’t accept this!” Qingyun Fei struggled to get up. ”I am the Son of Destiny! The Heavenly Dao will help me! You can’t kill me!”

”Son of Destiny?” Emperor Cao Xukun shook his head. ”I’ve killed at least eighty or a hundred Sons of Destiny. Someone of your caliber isn’t even worth picking my teeth with.”

He extended a finger and tapped lightly on the center of Qingyun Fei’s forehead. The qingyun sword Body within Qingyun Fei shattered instantly, and his cultivation at the peak of the Tribulation stage vanished into thin air.

”Ah—! My sword body! My cultivation!” Qingyun Fei let out a shrill scream, clutching his head and rolling on the ground. ”I’m crippled! I’ve become a cripple!”

The lackeys were scared out of their wits and turned to run. Emperor Cao Xukun waved his hand, and a streak of Chaos Spiritual Power struck out, freezing everyone in place, unable to move.

”Want to run? Too late.” Emperor Cao Xukun said indifferently, ”I ask you, how are the seven domains of the Immortal Realm divided? Answer honestly, and I can spare your lives. If you dare to say half a word of lies, you’ll end up just like your Young Master.”

The lackeys were trembling with fear and scrambled to speak: ”I’ll say! I’ll say! The Immortal Realm is divided into seven major domains, corresponding to the seven major dynasties! The Central Domain is the territory of the Central Dynasty, which is the strongest, occupying half of the Immortal Realm. Crown Prince Ling Chen controls all military power; even the Emperor has to listen to him!”

”The East is the Azure Dragon Dynasty, skilled in beast taming; the West is the White Tiger Dynasty, skilled in artifact refining; the South is our Qingyun Dynasty, also known as the Southern Domain, which is the weakest and has always been bullied by the Central Dynasty; the North is the Black Tortoise Dynasty, skilled in defense; there is also the Ancient Demon Clan Dynasty on the edge of the Eastern Domain, and the Chaos Demon Clan Dynasty on the edge of the Western Domain, which have been fighting the Central Dynasty for ten thousand years!”

”Our Qingyun Dynasty only has three Golden Immortals holding the fort, not even a single Great Luo Golden Immortal; we are the weakest of the seven dynasties! We usually have to survive by paying tribute to the Central Dynasty!”

Emperor Cao Xukun nodded, understanding everything. It was exactly as he had learned from the Golden Immortal earlier; the Qingyun Dynasty was the weakest, perfect for the Great Xuan Dynasty to take root.

”Very good.” Emperor Cao Xukun waved his hand. ”Get lost. Tell your Emperor that I, Cao Xukun, have arrived, and the Southern Domain belongs to me from now on.”

The lackeys felt as if they had received a pardon, scrambling away, not even caring about Qingyun Fei on the ground. Qingyun Fei lay on the ground, watching the backs of Emperor Cao Xukun and his group as they walked away, his eyes filled with resentment but not daring to make a sound.

”Your Majesty, where are we going next?” General Black Tiger asked.

”To Qingyun City.” Emperor Cao Xukun looked toward the south, his eyes deep. ”I heard that is the largest city in the Southern Domain; it’s perfect for us to use as a temporary base.”

”Pass down the order, the whole army is to speed up! Arrive at Qingyun City before dark!”

”Yes, Your Majesty!”

The hundred thousand troops roared in unison, stepping forward with firm strides, marching majestically toward the south.

As the sun set, the golden sunlight fell on the hundred thousand Xuan Armor Army, reflecting cold, icy glints. Emperor Cao Xukun held Cao Xuanhuang, walking at the very front of the formation, his black dragon robe rustling in the wind.

The wind of the Southern Domain had already begun to change.

And those in Qingyun City did not yet know that a storm capable of overturning the entire Southern Domain was about to arrive.
