Chapter 162

Compared to the champions of the Ninth Realm,

the champions of the Tenth Realm had substantially heightened perception.

Take Tianjian Zi, for instance—should he choose, his divine sense could envelop the entire Tianjian Sect.

During the period when the mountains were sealed, Tianjian Zi, to ensure absolutely no leakage of information, covered it constantly with his own divine sense.

Under such a method, even if a mere fly were to leave the range of the Tianjian Sect, Tianjian Zi would be aware.

And just moments ago,

Tianjian Zi keenly sensed

a very weak presence, quickly leaving the Tianjian Sect through a secret passageway.

“Hmph.”

“Seeking death.”

Tianjian Zi sneered.

Immediately, under the shocked gazes of the other strong ones,

Tianjian Zi raised his right hand and flicked his finger.

Boom.

A terrifying sword intent gathered,

turning into a palm-sized little sword, which only appeared for a moment,

then vanished from its original place.

…

At the edge of the Tianjian Sect’s mountain gate,

Situ, extremely cautious, desperately concealed his aura, walking quickly forward.

“Almost, almost.”

“Just a little more, and I’ll have left the Tianjian Sect…”

Situ’s breathing was almost imperceptible,

Suddenly,

a terrifying sword intent locked onto him.

“Not good.”

Situ’s expression drastically changed.

His speed suddenly surged in an attempt to dodge the sword intent.

But it was already too late.

The strike of a Tenth Realm champion was not something easily avoided.

Swoosh.

A palm-sized little sword suddenly pierced through Situ’s chest.

“I…”

Situ’s eyes widened.

He could feel his life force draining away at a terrifying rate.

Tiny fragments of dreadful sword intent continuously stirred through his chest, shattering his limbs and Primordial Spirit.

“I can’t die!”

Situ’s eyes were bloodshot.

In a daze, he seemed to see the tall man who picked him up from a city filled with corpses over two hundred years ago.

Back then, the Demon Lord was in his prime, snapping his fingers and annihilating many strong ones, while he himself was in rags, lowly as dust.

If not for the Demon Lord, he would have died long ago.

If not for the Demon Lord, he would not have his today.

In the blink of an eye, more than two hundred years had passed, and everything from the past seemed like a dream.

“Before I meet the Lord, I cannot die!!”

Situ suddenly erupted with a fierce will to live and without hesitation triggered the forbidden Demonic Tao technique ‘Dismantling Burning God Skill’.

Once activated, the Dismantling Burning God Skill would uncontrollably incinerate his physical body, Primordial Spirit, and everything else,

until completely turning into nothingness.

Meanwhile, the user would endure unimaginable pain.

Of course, the effects were also very good, as during this forbidden technique, the user’s speed would increase tenfold or even a hundredfold.

And as time passed, the more the physical body and Primordial Spirit burned, the faster the speed would become.

In fact, almost all Demon Lords, preferring to die by their own hands, would not activate this forbidden technique.

After all, once the “Dismantling Burning God Skill” was activated, it could not be reversed, and the physical body, Primordial Spirit, and everything else would quickly dissolve into nothingness.

That is to say, once this forbidden technique was activated, even if one escaped death initially, one was still destined to die.

Before death, one would still have to endure the endless pain caused by the burning of one’s own body.

So, this forbidden technique was somewhat like a double-edged sword, although widely known, it was rarely seen used by any Demon Lord.

What’s the point?

“Hm?”

At Tianjian Main Peak, Tianjian Zi seemed to perceive something, a look of surprise crossing his face.

“The Dismantling Burning God Skill?”

Tianjian Zi naturally sensed the aura of this forbidden technique.

After a moment of thought.

Tianjian Zi decided to let Situ, the protector, leave.

Firstly, once this forbidden technique had been deployed, death was inevitable, and Situ, the protector, had already sustained a strike from him earlier and could hardly last much longer.

Secondly, even if Tianjian Zi wanted to pursue, it wasn’t certain he could catch up.

In just these few moments, Situ, the protector, had already fled hundreds of miles away, his speed becoming faster and faster, nearly out of control. Even if Situ wanted to stop, he couldn’t, and eventually, he would turn into nothingness at high speed.

Therefore, there was no need to pursue.

“Merely an ant.”

“No need to pay attention.”

Tianjian Zi slightly shook his head, addressing the curiosities of other powerful figures on the scene.

His sudden action naturally drew the gaze of these powerful figures, and now, an explanation was also appropriate.

…

Deep inside the Tianjian Sect.

A beautiful valley.

Bai Qing’er sat on a giant rock, her white and delicate legs gently swinging, causing ripples to spread.

“Big Brother Xiahou.”

“Will you come to find me?”

Bai Qing’er’s gaze was directed towards the Tianjian Main Peak.

She naturally was aware of Tianjian Zi’s scheme, and at this moment, Bai Qing’er was extremely conflicted.

She hoped for Xiahou Yuan to come because it would mean that Xiahou Yuan still had feelings for her, even if it was hatred, it was still an emotion.

However, with Tianjian Zi’s scheme, if Xiahou Yuan dared to come near, he was undoubtedly doomed to die.

Bai Qing’er now hoped Xiahou Yuan would not die.

“Big Brother Xiahou.”

“If you do come, I will plead with the Sect Leader to leave your whole body.”

“Then, you would always be with Qing’er…”

Bai Qing’er murmured to herself, a happy smile appearing on her face.

…

Next to the Palace of Earth Spirit Spring.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, still cultivating and pursuing Enlightenment, nearly all his time in each traversed world devoted to cultivation.

As for enjoyment?

With his Against-Heaven’s Understanding, Lin Yuan was always bursting with Spiritual Light, making progress every moment in his cultivation and understanding of the Dao and the world.

For Lin Yuan, this was the greatest pleasure.

“Xuan Huang…”

Lin Yuan delved into the Xuan Huang Evolutionary Path.

By now, he had reached the Fifth Stage Section in this Evolution Path.

However, just for that reason, the difficulty of further comprehension skyrocketed. After all, Lin Yuan was already at the Fifth Rank, and comprehending the Fourth and Third Ranks below, from a higher vantage point, even without Against-Heaven’s Understanding, would still be somewhat effective.
