"Hahaha~"
At the peak of northern Central Continent.
A crazed monk crossed mountains and rivers, arriving from the end of the horizon.
The deranged old monk stepped onto the ground, panting heavily.
To set foot on this land of Central Continent, heaven knew how much he had paid.
His face was twisted with ferocity. Before this, he had severed his own Bridge of Longevity.
His Nascent Soul had grievously wounded itself and now flickered like a candle flame in the wind, ready to gutter out at any moment.
The meridians within his body had ruptured, and blood was still continuously spurting from his seven apertures.
The spiritual energy that had once flowed smoothly through his meridians now darted about like headless flies.
It surged against the current, ravaging his body without restraint.
Everywhere it passed, his internal organs were ground to pieces, the pain unbearable.
Only through such self-mutilation, forcibly lowering his own realm regardless of the cost,
could he successfully evade Shu Mountain's surveillance and enter Central Continent.
"Hey, where'd you come from?"
The crazed monk grinned foolishly at the soldiers. "Hehehe~"
"Fuck! What a stench."
One of the soldiers kicked the old monk.
A fleeting killing intent flashed through the old monk's eyes. He patted his backside and ran off.
Not long afterward, someone discovered that the soldier's entire family had died unnatural deaths.
At the same time.
Across the borderlands adjoining Central Continent—snowy mountains, seas, deserts...—there were people everywhere who resembled those crazed monks.
They entered Central Continent in batches, at different times and from different places.
"..."
The tiny Nascent Soul controlled its flying sword and severed Fanyue's head with a single slash.
Fanyue's head fell wetly to the ground just like that.
Before the tiny Nascent Soul could make another move and burn Fanyue's corpse
