Chapter 665: Chapter 615: Be Prepared to Die
Since the great war that swept across Heaven and Earth in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty concluded, the Ancestral Land sustained heavy damages. The Heaven and Earth Essence Qi became sparse, no longer suitable for the existence of cultivators. Hence, numerous forces began to choose to leave the Ancestral Land and head towards the Sky Wasteland.
However, when leaving, a formidable figure skilled in foresight once prophesied that this Ancestral Land would ultimately revive, and the Ancestral Land awaiting its revival would welcome a Golden Great World. Within this Great World, there may indeed appear an opportunity for Becoming Immortal.
In line with the rumors, not long ago, the Ancestral Land began its revival, and many forces began to return.
Regarding the rise of Pei Xuanjing in the Ancestral Land, these cultivators, and the forces behind them, were somewhat surprised. However, they also secretly believed that the emergence of such a figure is further validation of those ancient rumors, which made them believe even more that this is a Great World.
Later on, when Pei Xuanjing had a falling out with the Canglang Palace, he killing many cultivators, leading everyone to believe that perhaps this was the curtain-raiser of this Great World.
But today, after waiting for Pei Xuanjing to suppress the real body of the Taixu Venerable, they realized that it was not, and the suppression of the Taixu Venerable and the aftermath for the Taixu Sect were the true beginnings of the Great World.
A top-tier power standing between Heaven and Earth fell into turbulent times from this point, not knowing how many catastrophes it would face in the future.
However, being one of the top-tier powers between Heaven and Earth, the Taixu Sect still had quite a few cultivators of the Spirit Realm Eightfold in power. Coupled with the heritage left over these years, it was still enough to last for a while.
In contrast, the Canglang Palace was far inferior to the Taixu Sect, prompting everyone to inevitably cast their gaze towards the distant Master of the Canglang Palace.
After all, a cultivator of Spirit Realm Eightfold and many cultivators of Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm have been slain by Pei Xuanjing, causing a considerable loss. If their side loses another figure today, the Canglang Palace would be utterly doomed. How could they face numerous adversaries while still maintaining their position in this Heaven and Earth?
As a hegemon, the Canglang Palace was known for its overbearing behaviour over the years, offending countless powers, both overtly and covertly, amassing untold numbers of enemies.
During their heydays, those powers wouldn’t dare to seek trouble from them. But if the Master of Canglang Palace were to fall today, it would be like cutting off an arm for the Canglang Palace, naturally inviting many enemies.
“Can the Master of Canglang Palace survive today?”
“The Master of Canglang Palace will undoubtedly die here today. There is absolutely no chance of survival!”
A formidable figure made the declaration!
Indeed, even his reliance, the Taixu Venerable, has been suppressed by Pei Xuanjing. How could the Master of Canglang Palace escape?
The Master of Canglang Palace stood atop the empty space, no longer wearing the calm look from before, but a face full of shock. Although he was still hundreds of miles away from Pei Xuanjing at this moment, he didn’t feel safe at all. On the contrary, he felt a sense of danger like the threat of death looming over him, ready to descend at any moment.
In his understanding, a supreme cultivator of Nine Realms of Spirit is an invincible existence, insurmountable and unbeatable. Otherwise, as a hegemon, he would not have rescinded his pride to seek alliance with the Taixu Sect.
However, what he didn’t anticipate was after paying such a price and relinquishing benefits, instead of washing away the disgrace, the Taixu Venerable he relied upon was suppressed by Pei Xuanjing, and even his own life was now hanging by a thread.
“State Master, I wonder if today…” The Master of Canglang Palace, who could be humble or hold his ground, initiated the conversation.
Faced with the overwhelming Pei Xuanjing at this moment, the Master of Canglang Palace had witnessed the formidable power shown by the opponent in suppressing the Taixu Venerable, and he knew that he was no match for him. Even if he were to risk his life, it wouldn’t make any difference.
At present, one cultivator of Spirit Realm Eightfold from Canglang Palace has died. If he were to die here today, then those enemies from the past would swarm like hyenas, and the Canglang Palace would inevitably face the danger of destruction.
So, for his own life, for the security of the Canglang Palace, he knew that he couldn’t die, no matter what the cost or how much humiliation he must endure. He had to live on, he had to.
Unfortunately, all of this did not depend on the will of the Master of the Canglang Palace, but on that of Pei Xuanjing. Now it was like he was a fish on the chopping board.
He was interrupted by Pei Xuanjing before he could finish his plea for mercy.
“No need to speak further, I am not interested in hearing any of your words. Since you came here today, you should be ready to face death.” Pei Xuanjing’s indifferent eyes, devoid of any emotions.
At this moment, the divine blessing on him hadn’t dissipated. In addition to his humanity, he had the existence of divinity, which made him even colder and heartless.
The purple and golden divine light flickered in his eyes. He stood in the void with Four Seasons and Five Orders changing and rotating behind him, embodying the cycle of destruction and creation of thunder, seemingly making a divine judgment on the Master of Canglang Palace like a deity.
Pei Xuanjing had no interest in hearing what the other party had to say and was too lazy to listen to his explanation.
From the very beginning, he had taken the Canglang Palace as his target and stepping stone to establish his reputation between Heaven and Earth. However, the appearance of the Taixu Venerable later gave him a better choice. Therefore, for Canglang Palace, Pei Xuanjing didn’t hold it in high regard.
However, since the other party came with the Taixu Venerable, it proved that the Canglang Palace still harbored enmity towards him, and was in alliance with the Taixu Sect. Therefore, after suppressing the Taixu Venerable, Pei Xuanjing didn’t mind erasing them together.
As for the words that the Master of Canglang Palace wanted to say, Pei Xuanjing could probably guess, but what was the point? Pei Xuanjing had no intention of bothering with him.
What could he bring out? Divine Material, spiritual treasures, skills?
But for Pei Xuanjing, who had already established a Small Thousand World, possessed a world, and obtained countless fortunes, these things were truly insignificant.
The Master of the Canglang Palace was full of disbelief in his final moments. He couldn’t understand why the other party was so resolute, not considering, not even letting him finish his words, and just made the move.
Pei Xuanjing coldly looked on. The sword in his hand dissipated. The runes on the Sanbao Jade Ruyi flickered and shone brilliantly. Then, with a light swipe in the empty air, several traces of Nine Heavens Divine Thunder descended towards the Master of Canglang Palace.
Boom boom boom!
Facing the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, an innate object, the Master of Canglang Palace had no way to resist. He was not a supreme cultivator of Nine Realms of Spirit like the Taixu Venerable, let alone possessed a top-tier divine weapon treasure like the Taixu Mirror for protection.
He left in such a hurry that what the Master of Canglang Palace brought with him was only an ordinary upper-level divine weapon treasure. On ordinary days, it wouldn’t have any effect when dealing with any opponent. However, he happened to run into Pei Xuanjing and the terrifying Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.
