Breaking Seal After Seal, Severing the Plane

Although he had experienced the emptiness of power waning many times before, Lu Yang was still quite unaccustomed to it, and his face turned slightly pale.

He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, barely managing to regain his composure.

He looked at the several ancient powerhouses from the Heavenly Azure Realm who were still standing there in a daze, cupped his hands and smiled, "This junior is merely Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, please forgive my humble appearance."

The powerful figures from the Heavenly Azure Realm finally came to their senses.

They were silent for a moment, then Dongshan Wuye, the leader, spoke up, "This young master's methods are truly astonishing. We have all lived for many years, and this is the first time we have ever seen such miraculous abilities. Young master's background is probably extraordinary, perhaps from the Immortal Realm?"

Lu Yang smiled and said, "I'm just an ordinary cultivator."

He was telling the truth; after all, the Canglan Realm was not even as good as the Heavenly Azure Realm.

Lu Yang himself came from a small Lineage at the Qi Refining Realm, and he was from a completely different world from these powerful figures in the Heavenly Azure Realm.

However, Dongshan Wuye and others believed that Lu Yang was merely being modest.

They didn't continue discussing this topic further.

Since Lu Yang doesn't want people to know his identity, saying too much about it will only cause them displeasure.

Having lived for so many years, they still understand these basic social dynamics.

Dongshan Wuye glanced at the somewhat chaotic Ruins of the Mystic Dark Sword Sect, a complex emotion flickering in his dark gray eyes, and murmured, "This Immortal Sect Holy Land, once surrounded by the Xuanming Water and teeming with female sword immortals... has now become like this."

He then came to his senses, looked at Lu Yang, and with a hint of nervousness, cupped his hands and asked, "Young master... did you see the two women? What were their appearances...?"

At this point, Dongshan Wuye paused, then gave a bitter smile and said, "They are probably just like us, withered and skeletal, and their cultivation levels are likely similar to ours."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang glanced thoughtfully at Dongshan Wuye and asked, "Are you two Mystic Dark Sword Masters?"

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Dongshan Wuye's cloudy eyes. He nodded and asked somewhat urgently, "That's right. May I ask if you have seen the two of them, young master?"

The other ancient, skeletal figures also looked at Lu Yang.

Lu Yang was silent for a moment, then sighed softly and said, "The two seniors' essence was corrupted by the Yin Sha Qi, and I was unable to save them. Not long ago, the two seniors chose to face their deaths peacefully, and I buried them."

At this point, Lu Yang suddenly thought of something, and his heart skipped a beat.

The aftershocks from that fight were so violent; the burial grounds of those two predecessors must have been destroyed as well.

Lu Yang immediately looked at the place where the two Mystic Dark Sword Masters had been buried.

He then realized that while the rest of the area was completely destroyed, that particular area remained intact.

A hint of surprise rose in Lu Yang's heart.

Just then, Qin Nanyue spoke softly, "I was right there, and I stood in front of the two seniors to block the aftershocks."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang suddenly realized what was happening.

With Lu Yang's protective Principle shield, Qin Nanyue didn't need to worry about the aftershocks. If she stood in front of the burial ground of the two seniors, she could indeed block the aftershocks and protect the burial ground.

Lu Yang chuckled, "My Nanyue is truly kind-hearted."

Qin Nanyue raised an eyebrow, a slight smile playing on her lips, "I just feel that those two seniors sacrificed a great deal to suppress that Yin Sha Heavenly Ghost, which is admirable. They shouldn't be unable to find peace even in death."

Upon hearing Lu Yang's words, Dongshan Wuye was momentarily stunned, finding it hard to believe that the two peerless sword masters of yesteryear had died just like that.

Even after many years of erosion, with his essence corroded by the Yin Sha Qi and his heart almost withered, Dongshan Wuye still felt a sense of sadness.

Not only him, but the other ancient beings also fell silent at this moment.

As cultivators at the Integrated Body Realm of the Heavenly Azure Realm, top experts who once stood at the pinnacle of the Heavenly Azure Realm, and comrades-in-arms who fought side by side during the invasion of the Yin Sha Heavenly Ghosts, they were also somewhat saddened to hear the news of the Mystic Dark Sword Master's death.

Just then, wisps of black mist drifted out from Dongshan Wuye's body. He groaned, and black lines appeared on his body, spreading in all directions.

Having witnessed the process of the two Mystic Dark Sword Masters being corrupted before, Lu Yang immediately understood the situation.

He immediately used the Grand Yin Principle to absorb the Yin Sha Qi within, which greatly restored Dongshan Wuye's condition.

The ancient beings were stunned and widened their eyes when they saw Lu Yang use the Grand Yin Principle.

"The Great Yin Dao... I never expected that you, young master, would have mastered the Great Yin Dao. It's a pity... Back then, my Heavenly Azure Realm didn't have such good fortune. If there had been a fellow cultivator who mastered the Great Yin Dao, perhaps things would have turned out differently." One of the elders sighed.

Dongshan Wuye didn't reply. He cupped his hands in thanks to Lu Yang, then looked at the burial site of the two sword masters.

He asked softly, "Are the two sword masters... buried here?"

Lu Yang nodded. "Yes, the two seniors said that even after death, they should remain in the Mystic Dark Sword Sect to protect it."

Dongshan Wuye remained silent for a moment, then walked to the burial site, sat down cross-legged, and looked like a skeleton offering a sacrifice.

The other ancient beings also arrived at the burial site and respectfully bowed.

"Fellow Daoists, may you have a safe journey."

"My two elder sisters, my time is running out. On the road to the underworld, please walk slowly and wait for me."

"Fellow Daoists, I never imagined you would both leave us before me. The heavens are jealous of talent... Your unparalleled brilliance back then remains vivid in my memory, as if it were yesterday."

"..."

Lu Yang and Qin Nanyue didn't say much, watching them pay their respects to the two Mystic Dark Sword Masters.

At that moment, all the ancient powerhouses suddenly fell silent, then they all looked up and gazed into the distance.

Each ancient powerhouse looked in a different direction; their skeletal, grotesque faces were expressionless, but their dark gray eyes clearly held an expression of disbelief.

"What's going on?! Our sect's seal has weakened!"

"Impossible! I checked the seal before I left, it was normal!"

"I'm not dead yet, so why is there a flaw in the seal?!"

"..."

The voices of the ancient and powerful figures were filled with anger and ferocity, with a hint of fear lingering beneath.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang frowned immediately.

Before he could speak, he suddenly felt extremely powerful Yin Sha Qi surging out from all directions.

These Yin Sha Qi are exactly the same as the Yin Sha Heavenly Ghost that Lu Yang killed before!

Although these auras were slightly weaker than the Yin Sha Heavenly Ghost that Lu Yang had killed, there were still a total of six of them!

Lu Yang's expression turned solemn as he asked, "Seniors, are you also suppressing other Yin Sha Heavenly Ghosts?"

Dongshan Wuye's figure was solemn as he said, "That's right. The Yin Sha Heavenly Ghosts are difficult to kill, and their strength is extremely formidable. If we were to confront them head-on, none of us would be a match for them. The only option we could choose was to seal them, using our own essence as the source of the seal, which was barely enough to suppress them."

Li Yuanqi's voice was filled with disbelief. "We are not dead yet, our origin has not dissipated, those Yin Sha Heavenly Ghosts should not have broken free of their seal!"

Just then, Lu Yang suddenly thought of something.

When Lu Yang killed the Yin Sha Heavenly Ghost, he used some kind of Law Technique.

However, the Law Technique did not seem to cause any damage at the time; it simply spread as an invisible force.

Now it seems that the Law Technique was probably used to break the seal!

No wonder that guy said back then that without the complete Principle of Heavenly Dao, it would be difficult for them, the Yin Sha Heavenly Ghosts, to seal them.

It's likely that the incompleteness of the Heavenly Dao Principle caused flaws in the sealing formation itself. In addition, the secret technique used by the Yin Sha Heavenly Ghost allowed the sealing formation to be broken before the original essence of the powerful figures present had dissipated.

A look of worry appeared on Qin Nanyue's face as she looked at Lu Yang: "Lu Yang, with so many Yin Sha Heavenly Ghosts, if they were to clash, the destructive power would be immense. Yingying and the others are still in the secret realm."

Lu Yang's expression turned solemn. He immediately nodded and said, "Let's go. First, go to the secret realm area and notify those disciples to leave. Then, I'll kill those Yin Sha Heavenly Ghosts here to prevent them from passing through the secret realm passage to our plane. Moreover..."

Lu Yang paused, his expression becoming somewhat solemn.

He planned to try to find a way to separate the shattered plane of the Heavenly Azure Realm from the Canglan Realm.

This shattered plane has been invaded by the Yin Sha Heavenly Ghosts. Who knows what kind of backup plan they have? Will it attract the Yin Sha Heavenly Ghosts that invaded the Heavenly Azure Realm back then?

If those Yin Sha Heavenly Ghosts are really attracted here, it will be a huge disaster for the Canglan Realm!
