Middle Great Vehicle
The severed giant hand of Divine Soul did not fall to the ground. Instead, at the moment of severance, it was frantically shredded by the death power within the divine ring, transforming into a shower of pure Divine Soul light that poured into Chen Fan's slightly closed eyes.
At the severed wrist, dark, ghostly blood gushed forth like a torrent.
Taixuan Sacred Emperor staggered back several steps, his ten-thousand-foot-tall imperial figure swaying violently, and large cracks appeared on his originally solid face.
He stared intently at the knife-wielding youth, his voice finally revealing a chilling terror:
"You... why does your Divine Soul possess the Dao Rhythm of the supreme Dao from the Beyond the Realm?! You are no ordinary mortal from the Cangwu Realm!"
"You guessed right, but there's no reward."
Chen Fan walked barefoot on the sticky blood and grime, step by step toward the boiling blood pool.
With his disguise torn away, the eyes of the Taixuan Sacred Emperor revealed an unprecedented ferocity and madness.
After years of meticulous planning, with the Immaculate Embryo about to mature, how could he tolerate it all being ruined by a freak with a bone age of sixteen!
"No matter which realm you are, whether you are a reincarnated Daoist deity or a demon, once you enter my furnace, even a dragon must coil up!"
The Taixuan Sacred Emperor went completely mad, and his remaining arm suddenly slammed into his chest.
Boom!
The entire blood pool instantly surged with towering waves of blood, and countless crimson chains inscribed with Primordial Runes snapped simultaneously.
The ten-foot-tall, violently pulsating embryo of flesh in the very center suddenly tore apart, spewing out a terrifying, pale, and icy flame.
The Primordial Annihilation Baleful Flame!
The Extreme Yin Fire, extracted from the corpses and Primordial Spirits of dozens of Great Vehicle and Great Perfection cultivators over countless millennia, is specifically designed to counter the Divine Souls and True Spirits of the world!
"Melte into this pool of blood! You are not worthy of dying together with me!"
A pale sea of fire swept in, engulfing everything. The Void was scorched by the Baleful Flames, turning into a black hole of nothingness. Even the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Stone of the inverted black tower melted into magma in an instant.
The Taixuan Sacred Emperor's face was contorted with rage as he attempted to ignite the terrifying Dao Embryo and Chen Fan's Divine Soul together, so that even if only an empty shell remained, he could still possess it and be reborn!
However, Chen Fan didn't even lift an eyelid when faced with this extreme Baleful Flame that was enough to turn half a Star Domain into a dead land.
"Fancy and overly elaborate."
The four words, spoken indifferently, were uttered.
Chen Fan released his left hand, and a deep, resonant hum suddenly erupted from the depths of his Dantian, shaking the entire Dimensions.
Boom!
The Miniature Divine Kingdom burst forth from the body!
No longer the incomplete projection of before, but a gray-white, infinite Millstone spanning thousands of miles, like a truly independent universe, forcibly squeezed into the narrow top of the black tower.
A terrifying talent foundation of 167 million, accompanied by the absolute domineering intent of a peak Middle Martial God, suddenly poured down with the force of Mount Tai pressing down!
The world was silent.
The Primordial Annihilation Baleful Flames that roared across the sky failed to even cause a ripple the moment they touched the membrane of the Miniature Divine Kingdom. They were swallowed whole by the Life-and-Death Millstone and Death Formation Core within the Divine Kingdom and forcibly decomposed into the most primordial Yin and Netherworld nourishment.
Thump!
Faced with this immense power that transcended several Dimensions of the Lower Realm, the dark gold imperial robe worn by the Taixuan Sacred Emperor instantly shattered into countless fragments of light.
His towering Dharma Form, reaching tens of thousands of feet in height, didn't even have the strength to lift its head. It was crushed by the terrifying pressure, its knees smashing through the stone slabs of the main hall, and it collapsed to its knees on the ground!
The bone and Dao patterns shattered inch by inch, and the pale green flames flickered wildly, almost going out.
At this moment, the Taixuan Sacred Emperor finally saw through the indifferent, overlooking phantom of the Divine Throne deep within the Divine Kingdom and understood the truth before him.
That's not some old monster reincarnated from the Lower Realm.
That was a slaying war Martial God who descended from across Dimensions!
"God... Martial Dao god?!"
Taixuan Sacred Emperor's scalp tingled. The arrogance, ferocity, and imperial majesty he had accumulated over ten thousand years were completely crushed in the face of the absolute Dimensions difference.
Tears streamed down his face as he Divine Soul kowtowed, screaming and begging for mercy in a near-hysterical rage.
"Honorable deity, spare me! Supreme god, spare me! I was blind and dared to offend your divine might!"
"Spare my remnant soul and life! I am willing to offer the true imperial Imperial Mausoleum Formation Diagram of the Primordial Dynasty! And the secrets of the Heaven-Connecting Ancient Road Ancient Immortal battlefield in the upper realm! I am willing to be your slave for eternity, guarding your home and protecting your domain!"
The cries for mercy echoed in the empty hall, each word filled with anguish.
Any powerful figure from any sect, faced with the loyalty and ancient secrets of an ancient emperor who has lived for ten thousand years, would spare his life and interrogate him slowly, even if they were wary.
But Chen Fan is not a cultivator.
He was a frontline assassin who strode forward through Corpse Mountain and Sea of Blood.
"Having survived ten thousand years ago, it has lingered on until now, stealing its lifespan and slaughtering its descendants."
Chen Fan stopped three feet above the crown of the Taixuan Sacred Emperor's head, raising the Broken Saber again, its blade reflecting the ancient emperor's terrified and distorted expression.
"Keeping these living corpses around is just a waste of air."
"No--!"
Despair exploded in the eyes of the Taixuan Sacred Emperor. Just as he was about to detonate the remaining divine core, a gray-red arc of blades swept through the air and slashed down.
The Boundary-Severing Life-Ending Saber!
Sizzle!
The Void was split in two like a piece of silk.
The Blade Aura sliced straight down from the crown of the Taixuan Sacred Emperor without any obstruction, piercing through his brow, tearing apart his Dantian, and completely cleaving his Divine Soul core, which had been condensed over ten thousand years, in two!
A muffled thud.
The remnant soul of an ancient emperor was instantly shattered into countless pale green specks of Divine Thought light by the Dao Rhythm of the Life-and-Death Millstone.
"Receive."
Chen Fan thrust the Broken Saber into the Void with his backhand, then formed a hand seal and pulled it outwards.
Rumble!
The Divine Kingdom Millstone within his Dantian completely reversed, and the Death Formation Core unleashed a devouring power that could swallow the heavens and earth.
The boiling, millennia-old blood pool in the very center of the main hall, the Great Vehicle embryo that had fused with the flesh and blood of several Great Vehicle beings, along with the shattered Pure Yang Divine Soul fragments of the Taixuan Sacred Emperor, were all pulled into the gray-white Millstone!
Click! Click!
The extreme Millstone grinds furiously.
The blood and evil accumulated over thousands of years were stripped away and dissolved, and the complex resentment was burned away by the Pure Yang True Marrow.
Finally, what was extracted was the Origin Source blood essence of dozens of Great Vehicle powerhouses, and the Pure Yang Primordial Spirit essence of a half-step True Immortal who had been accumulating for countless ages!
This immense and unparalleled torrent of energy surged into Chen Fan's body through his meridians.
Inside the Divine Kingdom, towering waves surged from the outer edge of the gray sky, the Sea of Death churned violently, and the chaotic boundary was pushed outwards for nearly a hundred miles with overwhelming force!
Click!
The sixteen-year-old body emitted crisp crackling sounds from its limbs and bones, and a layer of chaotic luster like jade flowed across its surface.
The cultivation barrier that was originally solid at the Early Great Vehicle was violently shattered at this moment.
Middle Great Vehicle!
Boom!
As the remnant soul of the Taixuan Sacred Emperor completely vanished into nothingness, the eighty-one bronze array pillars engraved with Primordial Beginning Inscriptions in the ninth-level main hall snapped at their roots.
The crucial point that had supported the formation for millennia collapsed with a deafening roar.
Without the suppression of the Divine Thought of a half-step True Immortal, the Primordial Beginning Baleful Flame that had accumulated underground for ten thousand years completely went out of control. Grayish-white fire waves surged violently from the bottom of the tower along the earth's veins, and the entire upside-down black tower crumbled inch by inch in this destructive fire wave.
Chen Fan reversed his hand and inserted the Broken Saber into the coarse cloth scabbard on his back.
