Resolved to Die
Lu Yang stared at the dark green token, remained silent for a moment, and felt a mix of emotions.
The previous Mystic Dark Sword Master also passed on his legacy to him.
Before their impending destruction, the top Immortal Sect Holy Lands of the Heavenly Azure Realm, these ancient powerhouses, only hoped that their sects' lineage would not be severed and that their sects would be remembered.
Lu Yang nodded slowly, his expression quite serious, and said, "I will."
Mu Lin breathed a sigh of relief, then chuckled, "There are some resources that my Mystic Wood Palace has accumulated over the years. It may not be much to you, young master, but it is a small token of our appreciation as a thank you gift for our search for a successor. We hope you won't find it offensive."
In Mu Lin's view, Lu Yang's situation was incomprehensible.
He had never heard of such a secret technique that allowed him to change between the Foundation Establishment Realm and Body Integration Realm.
Perhaps this young master is a Body Integration Realm cultivator. Such a young Body Integration Realm is rare even in the Spirit Realm. Perhaps he comes from the Immortal Realm.
Such beings would certainly look down on the resources of someone with only the strength of a Nascent Body Integration Realm cultivator, but they had nothing more to offer.
Lu Yang didn't bother to look at what was inside. He smiled and nodded, "Alright, seniors, rest assured, I will find a suitable successor for the Mystic Wood Palace."
Mu Lin and another elder from the Mystic Wood Palace completely relaxed.
Just then, a roaring sound rang out in the distance, and the violent aftershocks traveled from the far reaches of the region, reaching all the way here.
Lu Yang and the two Mystic Wood Palace experts snapped out of their daze.
Lu Yang said softly, "I'll go deal with the other Yin Sha Heavenly Ghosts."
As he spoke, he casually tore open space and stepped inside.
The two Mystic Wood Palace experts exchanged a glance and silently followed.
Although they felt that given Lu Yang's terrifying strength, they probably couldn't be of much help, what if...?
Their origins haven't been completely extinguished yet; they still possess considerable strength and may be able to shine one last time.
Yet another ruin.
In the sky, three old men were fighting a Yin Sha Heavenly Ghost.
The three old men were engulfed in pale flames, and their appearances were no longer just skeletons; instead, they now had more flesh and blood.
Their auras were also much stronger than before, barely reaching the level of the Body Integration Realm.
Their opponent, the Yin Sha Heavenly Ghost, also used a secret technique to restore his cultivation to the Early Integrated Body Realm.
Although the three of them were less powerful than the Yin Sha Heavenly Ghost, they managed to barely withstand its attacks when they joined forces.
The Yin Sha Heavenly Ghost's expression was ferocious, its eyes filled with malice. "Three pieces of trash! So what if you burn your life essence?! You are no match for me! Let me go now, and you can live a few more days! Otherwise, your life essence will soon be completely burned out!"
One of the elderly women, with white hair, laughed, her voice tinged with hatred. "You're afraid! Afraid that young master will come!"
Another old man chuckled, "You should have sensed it by now, right? One of the Yin Sha Heavenly Ghost has already died! It'll be your turn soon!"
Upon hearing this, the Yin Sha Heavenly Ghost's expression changed slightly, then became even more ugly. Black mist surged around him, and numerous ferocious arms reached out, grabbing towards the three. "You're courting death!"
Just then, a crack appeared in the sky, and Lu Yang walked out from it.
He saw the hideous black arm reaching for the three old men, but his expression remained unchanged.
A flash of golden light, and all those arms turned into black smoke and vanished.
A look of terror appeared on the Yin Sha Heavenly Ghost, and it immediately turned around and tried to retreat.
The next moment, a finger descended from the sky, suppressing him to the spot.
The Yin Sha Heavenly Ghost was suppressed by the finger and could not move. It could only roar and unleash its full power to try to resist the finger.
However, in the next moment, all his defenses seemed to be made of paper, and were instantly torn apart. His body was also exploded by a single finger, turning into black mist and slime, and dissipating into the air.
The three old men were all slightly shocked by what they saw, but they also found it reasonable.
The difference in combat power Integrated Body Late Stage and the Early Integrated Body is like an insurmountable chasm!
The three approached Lu Yang and bowed respectfully.
The leader was an elderly man with white hair and a white beard. His face was as beautiful as jade, fair and smooth, and his voice was gentle as he said, "Thank you, young master, for avenging my Cinnabar Yang Sect and all the living beings of the Heavenly Azure Realm."
Lu Yang smiled and said, "There's no need for such formalities, seniors. I still have other areas to visit, so I won't chat with you any longer."
The three of them nodded immediately.
"Business is important! Young master, please go ahead with your business. The three of us will accompany you. If you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask!"
Lu Yang nodded slightly, tore open the space again, and stepped inside.
Mu Lin and the other person also passed through the spatial rift they had encountered earlier.
They were all stunned when they saw the three cultivators from the Cinnabar Yang Sect.
"What about the Yin Sha Heavenly Ghost?" Mu Lin asked.
The elder from the Cinnabar Yang Sect, who was at the head of the group, chuckled, "Mu Lin, you're too late. That young master killed that Yin Sha Heavenly Ghost with a single finger. His comprehension of the Principle and his level of Law Technique... are truly astonishing."
The old woman then stepped towards the spatial rift. "Stop chatting, let's go help the young master!"
The others snapped out of their daze and followed suit, entering the spatial rift that Lu Yang had just torn open.
Afterwards, Lu Yang killed three more Yin Sha Heavenly Ghosts. The areas where these Yin Sha Heavenly Ghosts were suppressed were all within the sects of various major forces in the Heavenly Azure Realm. Originally, these ancient powerhouses planned to guard their sects with their own strength, but unexpectedly, the Heavenly Azure Realm was defeated by the invasion of the Yin Sha Heavenly Ghosts, and even the sects were destroyed, and the entire Heavenly Azure Realm was torn apart.
The final result was predictable.
The sects that these three Yin Sha Heavenly Ghosts belong to are Mystic Pivot Gate, Heavy Mountain Pavilion, and Divine Fire Hall.
Including the Mystic Wood Palace, Mystic Dark Sword Sect, and Cinnabar Yang Sect, there are a total of six Integrated Body Level sects in this shattered fragment of the Heavenly Azure Realm.
Of course, this doesn't mean that there are only six forces at the Integrated Body Realm in the entire Heavenly Azure Realm.
However, the forces in other regions have probably already disappeared into the True Void with the destruction of the Heavenly Azure Realm.
With Lu Yang having slain the last Yin Sha Heavenly Ghost, all the ancient powerhouses had gathered in the sky above the ruins of the Divine Fire Hall.
Some of these powerful individuals had already burned their source energy and fought against the Yin Sha Heavenly Ghost, while others, because Lu Yang arrived relatively quickly, had not yet had time to burn their source energy and were currently still in their skeletal form.
As they watched the last Yin Sha Heavenly Ghost dissipate into black mist and slime, a strange sense of sorrow and relief welled up within them.
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
After that, they all bowed to Lu Yang and clasped their hands in a deep salute.
"Thank you, young master, for avenging our sect and for avenging the humiliation suffered by our Heavenly Azure Realm!"
Looking at the ancient powerhouses present, Lu Yang couldn't help but sigh. These ancient powerhouses had survived the test of time and were still alive today. For them, the Yin Sha Heavenly Ghost was probably their final unresolved issue.
Now that their inner conflicts have been resolved, Lu Yang could clearly feel that the suppressed Yin Sha Qi within them had begun to surge.
It's likely that these ancient powerhouses have already resolved to die.
