In the Past Tathagata, Tathagata was shocked, frightened, and angry, lamenting that he was unlucky and not at his peak. After his physical body was torn apart, his Dao Injury were difficult to heal, and since then he dared not continue to use the Heavenly God Force.

Now, he's been bullied terribly. First, he was "beaten up" by Lu Yu, then he was mocked by the Buddha of this Present Tathagata, and most importantly, a group of perverts are watching him in the dark.

He had just broken out of the mist when he quickly retreated, because his forehead was throbbing with a dull pain, as if a magic arrow had been aimed at his brow. He dared not force his way out.

With this slight delay, he was struck by the Six Emperors Palm again, his back caved in, colorful blood splattered out, flesh tore off, and half of his shoulder blade flew off.

This sparked a scramble, and several figures appeared silently, picking up his golden skin, gathering his jade bones, and then fixing their gazes on his fine head.

"Nephew, are you going to attack me too?" In the Past Tathagata dared not reprimand others, but looked at his "One of Us," who were also of large size and had short hair.

The Present Tathagata spoke sincerely, sighing, "Martial Uncle, you are old. You shouldn't cause trouble after returning. You should go and enjoy your remaining years."

The Past Tathagata's heart sank, and he asked, "What do you intend to do?"

He knew that he had crossed a red line in the hearts of some people in Night Prefecture this time, and that he shouldn't have set his sights on Lu Zizai. However, he knew his own situation; his physical problems were very serious, and he needed the help of that "Otherworldly Person" who New Life Nirvana.

The Present Tathagata up, "Martial Uncle, why don't you tear yourself apart and go retire to the back mountain?"

"I swear!" In the Past Tathagata, Buddha wanted to jump up and slap him twice. This unfilial descendant really wanted to betray his master and destroy his ancestors!

The tall figure opposite him remained calm and said, "You are an elder of my Tathagata Sect, so naturally I will not fight you."

However, Present Tathagata could finish speaking, his Martial Uncle's body exploded again, and he was struck by the Six Emperors Palm once more, shattering his back.

In the Past Tathagata, Tathagata had been teleporting, appearing and disappearing like a ghost, but he still could not escape the overwhelming Heavenly Light of the sky and was severely injured by the Mutated Six Royal Force.

"Buddha, Tathagata it's inconvenient for you to take action, I can help you on your behalf, just like Lu Yu did. After all, every family has an Grand Emperor." A voice spoke from within the Black Mist, seemingly the Ancestor of the Esoteric Sect.

At this moment, the Buddha Past Tathagata horror and indignation. What kind of rabid words were these? Was this a plea for mutual assistance, to be used to strike the other's elders?

He couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine; these old guys from Night Prefecture were indeed no pushovers, and were quite monstrous.

The Buddha remained silent; Lu Yu was Tathagata taking action, and that was enough.

In the past six months, the New Life Path, the Esoteric Sect, and the Beyond the Mundane have been very harmonious. The closer relationship between the three parties is entirely due to the efforts of the Grand Emperor and the First Ancestor.

"Lu Yu, I'll fight you to the death!" Buddha roared in the Past Tathagata. He was not suited for a bloody battle; his blood was burning and his body was about to collapse. However, he could not avoid the Six Royals Ancestor.

"Come, come, come, the decaying aura on my body needs you to polish it!" The Six Emperors appeared simultaneously, while the seventh was more hazy, carrying an aura of death.

The Past Tathagata, his golden skin tattered and his jade skin shattered, was covered in blood, riddled with cracks, and had many broken bones. He knew that without the courage to perish together with his opponent, he would be slowly worn down to death today.

What's most infuriating is that the other party truly regarded him as a "Past Tathagata Grinder," wanting to use him to grind away their own lifelessness and thus be completely New Life.

Back in the day, when he had mastered the Chaos Force and his body hadn't deteriorated to this extent, he once looked down upon the world. He never imagined he would end up like this.

In the Past Hall now boiled up, mixed with the blood of the Past Tathagata, and transformed into stars, which hung in the Mist Sea, and then rotated, all emitting a great thunderous sound.

Lu Yu frowned and said, "How can I put it? A battle that doesn't last long, a fight to the death with a backup plan, that's not thorough or decisive. How can you fight me like this?"

At this moment, he split into Six Emperors, using his seventh body as a weapon to hold it in front, truly using the swarms of blood-red stars to grind down the death aura.

"You..." In the Past Tathagata, Tathagata's face, cracked and ferocious, was contemptuous as the other party, after severely injuring him, still tried to pierce his heart.

The sound of a tsunami echoed from the depths of the Mist Sea, sometimes faint and distant, sometimes seemingly close at hand, deafeningly loud.

Clearly, even someone as powerful as Lu Yu and as unpredictable as the Past Tathagata could only see the edge of the Mist Sea, with nothing but thick black fog in sight.

Now, the entire night sky is illuminated, filled with crimson stars, all manifestations of the Buddha's power in the Past Tathagata. The stars in the heavens rotate, attempting to obliterate the Six Royals Ancestor.

The Daoist energy surged like a raging torrent, and the Heavenly Light seemed endless, as if it would utterly obliterate this place.

Lu Yu's seventh body exploded and then reappeared.

In just a moment, the Past Tathagata's pupils contracted, and he felt a tightness in his chest. He had truly become the "Past Tathagata Grinder," a mere tool.

"Kill!" he shouted, unleashing years of dormant passion and a fearless ferocity, determined to drag his opponent down with him.

"That's right!" the Six Royals Ancestor said, and his Six Emperors bodies rushed forward, testing the power of the Past Tathagata with their own bodies, trying to wear away the decaying energy.

Puff!

In the Past Tathagata, part of Tathagata was blown apart, but then reassembled. The Golden Body Eternal Art was still in effect, but he was almost crippled, as his own blood burned through his body.

He growled in anguish, fled into the Past Hall, wrapped himself in a straw mat, and used the dilapidated, silent ancient building as a makeshift path, until finally... he escaped.

Within the Mist Sea, those crimson stars exploded, causing the Six Emperors to groan. They had been pierced, releasing wisps of deathly aura, but in the end, Lu Yu still sighed softly, "It's still not enough. But the Past Tathagata Grinder is about to shatter!"

With a whoosh, he chased after the Mist Sea.

Under the long night, many eyes were watching, and some even acted before him, following after him.

Even Past Tathagata the Buddha was hiding in the Past Hall, which was a manifestation of his past essence, he was still severely injured. Along the way, people blocked his way, and the Ancient Hall collapsed.

On the ground, his followers, Grandmaster, disciples, and others were all deathly pale. This scene chilled them to the bone, and their hearts felt as if they had fallen into Abyss.

Those who had converted from the Tathagata Sect were especially filled with fear and unease.

"The Past Tathagata Grinder, don't run away!" Lu Yu shouted, now even more directly, adding a crucial suffix to his opponent's words.

Boom!

Past Hall, more than one person secretly intervened to block the path of the main figure.

"What do you want to do?" In the Past Tathagata realized that today might be a day of great danger.

It was clear that in the night fog, some terrifying eyes, like small Solar Yang, were visible. These were all "powerful Ancestor," their gazes burning, drawing closer as they watched.

"We want to beg from the Old Senior for a piece of his true bone. What? You won't give it to us? Give it to us!" someone said, and with a bang, they attacked.

Others, with gentle expressions and smiles, said, "Senior, we will not kill our predecessors; we are merely borrowing money, and we need ten pounds of your flesh and blood."

In the Past Tathagata heard such words, he was furious and terrified. Who was more demonic, and who was the evil spirit?

Lu Yu spoke up, "Mo, your true form may have died five hundred years ago. What you have now is merely the result of your obsession. Why not leave behind only your skin and bones, and enjoy your remaining years with your crippled body and lingering thoughts?"

Past Tathagata, he became even more certain that these old bastards were ruthless and heartless, none of them were kind-hearted, and they were all vicious people.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with you returning, Martial Uncle. We welcome you very much. But why did you have to turn against your One of Us in Night Prefecture?" the Present Tathagata.

Therefore, they launched their attack tonight!

Actually, it was mainly because Qin Ming set the example first.

That evening, Qin Ming overwhelmingly defeated the disciple of the Past Tathagata, with a crushing victory. He pressed Sun Chengjun's head down, forcing him to kneel on one knee.

This battle shattered the aura of the Buddha's lineage from the Past Tathagata.

The so-called Chaos Force wasn't as powerful as imagined, which is why the Ancestor came personally overnight to "test its limits."

Most importantly, Lu Yu had been provoked and was already ready to retaliate, so... in the Past Tathagata, Tathagata "capsized" and suffered a series of blows.

The Ancestor of Night Prefecture had been assessing the Grand Emperor and the First Ancestor. Tonight's events were merely a prelude, giving them a legitimate reason to probe his background.

"Don't worry, senior, you won't die. Just lend me half a pound of bone. Hmm, I want your skullcap, no questions asked!"

"Old man, you're so old and instead of taking care of yourself, you've turned yourself into an 'inheritance.' Come on, give me half of your black heart; I need to study it."

The Supreme Ancestor from all the paths in Night Prefecture spoke one after another, Past Tathagata, separating his bones and flesh here, which truly broke the main body's defenses.

In the Past Tathagata a pang of anxiety and wanted to unleash a torrent of curses.

In the Past Hall collapsed and was pierced and torn apart by the Ancestor of Night Prefecture. The main body fell out and then felt a sharp pain in his chest. He was pierced by several people, and Heart Blood.

With the Peak Ancestor attacking simultaneously, who could withstand them? They all showed no mercy, each taking flesh and blood, and cutting off jade bones, among other things.

Without a doubt, these people have become true "parasites living off their parents."

In a sense, what they said in the past was not false, and they are putting it into practice today.

"Ah..." The Past Tathagata agony. His body, which was already on the verge of being torn to pieces, could not withstand such torment and was essentially crippled!

"Senior, please bear with it; everything is for the sake of paving the way." The Ancestor offered words of comfort.

In the Past Tathagata did not die, but after that night, he could only "retire" and spend his twilight years in peace. Without the help of Earth Immortal or Sage, he could only chew on the bitterness of his remaining years.

Some say he was settled in the back mountain of the Tathagata Sect Present Tathagata the Buddha who was very respectful to him, while others say he was sent to Earthen City. In any case, he faded from people's sight.

Night had fallen, but news continued to fly everywhere, destined to ignite uproar across the land.

The main issue is that what happened tonight was too shocking.

Both the Night Report and the World Report are working overtime to meet deadlines.

The following day, in the cities under the long night, all newspapers were sold out, mainly because the news was too sensational.

"Two young prodigies, both practicing the Chaos Force, engaged in a decisive battle at the Mountain River Academy... In the Past Tathagata, a disciple of Buddha actually knelt on one knee, bowing his head in submission."

"The so-called orthodox lineage is no match for the collateral line; Qin Ming sweeps away his opponents!"

"Secret tidbit: After last night's battle, there were still undercurrents. Fairy Li Qingyue captured Sun Chengjun's Senior Brother Wu Mochen, alive in the latter half of the night!"

The topic was hotly discussed and completely buzzed throughout the morning.

As for the great battle Ancestor, it seems somewhat fantastical; it is said that Past Tathagata.

The Night Report and the World Report dared not report on this matter in a comprehensive and clear manner because of a lack of evidence and because the impact was too great.

However, they did not conceal the news, but instead told it in a vague and ambiguous way, causing a huge uproar.

That day, everyone was shocked!

Whether it was the First Ancestor of Earthen City or the Grand Emperor of various roads, they all felt a chill running down their spines.

"A rumor has spread that the skull of the Buddha was Past Tathagata ground into prayer beads."

"It is reported that his arm bone was made into a dagger."

Clearly, some of the news was so outrageous and completely contrary to the facts that it spread far and wide.

Night Prefecture had many spies from Outer Domain, and these shocking news spread that very day, causing Xuanran in distant places.

Undoubtedly, the reputation of the Night Prefecture Ancestor has significantly declined outside the Outer Domain!

Even those Outer Domain, including Earth Immortal, were quite moved upon hearing the secret report, "These old bastards are truly ruthless! They've destroyed people who have cultivated Saint Force; they're too vicious! What will that old Pugong's reaction be?"

As a result, the various Ancestor became famous far and wide, but not for good reasons, sparking discussions and criticisms from all Outer Domain, who dared not underestimate them.

" Those from Outer Domain don't understand the darkness of Night Prefecture..." a visitor from Outer Domain murmured.

The people of Earthen City were also shocked and were all paying close attention to this matter.

Even Mu Qinghe, a Earth Immortal, was taken aback upon hearing the news and went to investigate the details herself.

"We support the Earth Immortal in unifying Night Prefecture!" Ancestor from all walks of life stepped forward, remaining as low-key and humble as ever.

The Earth Immortal Mu Qinghe remained silent. On the surface, with her in charge of Earthen City, it was indeed time to unify Night Prefecture. However, she also discovered that the various paths in Night Prefecture had also been unified, and the Ancestor of various sects had reconciled and come together.

"It's nothing. We have Jade Capital behind us. If we leak even a little information, it will be enough to cause a major earthquake in Night Prefecture. Who would dare to disobey us?"

"Earthen City upholds the will of Jade Capital, and no one dares to disobey it!"

In Earthen City, some old monsters were discussing.

Even the Earth Immortal Mu Qinghe was pondering whether to accelerate the progress of certain major events and bring forward the relevant Nodes.

"He Lian Chengyun, Lu Yu, and others reported to Earthen City, requesting his assistance. They wanted to reopen the 'door' and dig a path leading to the depths of the Night Mist World."

"What?! Are they planning to dig another hole near Earthen City?!"

That's roughly the idea; otherwise, why would they have discussed it with us beforehand?

In Earthen City, a group of old monsters were about to explode. They all felt that those old guys from Night Prefecture had gone mad. Everything had been peaceful, but those people were about to cause trouble again!

Not long after the Great Dream Divine Mushroom's rampage, these unfilial descendants couldn't sit still again, making the old folks of Earthen City uneasy.

"Was that intentional?"

"They said they had no other desires now and fully supported the decision of the Earth Immortal Mu Qinghe. Their only immediate concern was to pave the way, acquire resources from different worlds, and explore Foreign Domain."

The old monster in Earthen City knew that the Ancestor of Night Prefecture had already mastered that kind of technology. Without prior notification, he could "dig tunnels" in places with Super Fire Spring, connecting to unknown lands. The fact that he was informing them like this was definitely not out of respect for Earthen City, but rather to drag them into sharing the risk.

Upon learning of this, the Earth Immortal Mu Qinghe said, "Perhaps it's time to let that city in the heavens be born."

Her voice rose, "The time is almost up. Give all the geniuses in the territories Jade Capital Radiation a chance, and allow the outstanding to enter that city in the heavens."

Night Prefecture is a place where winds of change are gathering. Despite various negative reputations, many outsiders are still coming from afar, including alien races who have traveled from the deepest parts of the Night Mist World.

"Sister, Master, you've finally arrived from the Holy Race!" A White-clothed Youth exclaimed excitedly as he went to greet a stunningly beautiful Red-dressed Woman.

"You said you found out who that person is?" The Red-dressed Woman couldn't forget her experience after simulating the White Beast's Consciousness Spirit Light and entering the Great Thunderclap. She couldn't display her true power, and when she finally tried to escape, the boy kicked her in the butt, sending her shoving out of the Great Thunderclap Temple gates.

The White-clothed Youth wiped away his cold sweat and said, "Sister, calm down. This place, Night Prefecture, is a bit strange. Even some highly respected Old Senior don't have a good reputation among Outer Domain; they're even notorious. We need to think things through carefully."
