Killing My Way to Heavenly Profound Immortal Sect

The next morning, after five consecutive days of travel.

Chu Lu finally arrived at the Heavenly Profound Immortal Sect. He stood in the air, gazing at the mountain gate before him.

As the foremost immortal sect of the righteous path, the Heavenly Profound Immortal Sect was more than twice the size of the Inquiry Sword Sect.

Continuous mountain ranges crisscrossed, appearing like a cross from above.

At the intersection of these ranges stood an immortal mountain emitting a five-colored auspicious glow. This was the core of the Heavenly Profound Immortal Sect, the convergence point of spiritual qi, and where the Sect Master and many Elders cultivated—Golden Summit Peak.

Chu Lu made a rough estimate and found Golden Summit Peak to be nearly three thousand li away from him.

This made him sigh inwardly once more at the immensity of the sect.

He then flew towards Golden Summit Peak. However, as soon as he moved, he heard a loud shout.

"Halt, traveler!"

Immediately after, a group of people flew over. The one at the forefront had an air of immortal grace, and was indeed another Elder.

"Who are you?" Chu Lu asked.

"I am Zhang Yukou," the Elder said. "Greetings, Sect Master of the Inquiry Sword Sect."

"The Inquiry Sword Sect is no more. Don't call me Sect Master," Chu Lu replied. "Since you recognize me, you should know why I'm here, right?"

"You... Daoist Luo is naturally here for revenge. But I have a word, please allow me to speak," Zhang Yukou said. "I believe it can change your mind."

"Oh? What is it?"

"Indeed. Although our sect has sent people repeatedly, ambushing you in secret, wanting to kill you," Zhang Yukou said with great distress. "But even if our sect is ninety-nine percent at fault, don't you bear one percent of the blame?"

Chu Lu was stunned.

Then, he took out his sword from his storage ring and, without hesitation, performed a Phoenix Arrives technique on the spot, directly severing his head.

"You're insane," Chu Lu cursed. "Saying such nonsensical things, insulting my intelligence!"

As the Elder's corpse fell, the disciples behind him were instantly filled with grief and indignation.

"Elder!"

"Luo the Demon! I'll fight you to the death!"

They drew their weapons, tears streaming down their faces, and charged at Chu Lu.

Chu Lu unleashed a palm strike, and his formidable magic power surged forward like a monstrous tidal wave.

The dozens of disciples exploded with a resounding boom.

Bang bang bang bang! A dozen or so bloody fireworks appeared in the air.

Chu Lu advanced rapidly.

But in the next moment, several more roars echoed.

"You court death!"

"Luo the Demon, do you really think the Heavenly Profound Immortal Sect has no one?"

"Everyone, form the sword array!"

From the northernmost of the four mountain ranges, a dazzling golden light suddenly illuminated.

On a training stage, hundreds of cultivators, clad in uniform green robes, stood in orderly fashion. Their gazes were firm and focused, collectively facing the immense crisis that was about to unfold.

At the command of the leading Elder, everyone moved simultaneously. They formed hand seals, chanted incantations, and their spiritual energy surged out like a tide.

Streams of light shot from their fingertips, connecting to the spirit swords hanging at their waists. The spirit swords unsheathed themselves, hovering in the air, their bodies trembling slightly and emitting clear ringing sounds.

Hundreds of spirit swords, guided by spiritual energy, began to move in an orderly fashion. They were like a well-trained flock of birds, rapidly forming various complex formations. Some spirit swords intertwined, creating a dense sword net; others connected head to tail, like coiling dragons.

Finally, they coalesced into a colossal sword that blotted out the sky, cleaving through the heavens and striking towards Chu Lu.

This was the Seven Stars Shine Upon the World Sword Array, one of the Heavenly Profound Immortal Sect's four great protective sword arrays, possessing infinite power. Years ago, when the Blood-Melting Great Demon led the Heavenless Demonic Sect to attack the Heavenly Profound Immortal Sect, their momentum was immense, their demonic aura reaching the heavens. The Blood-Melting Great Demon was a paramount demon of his time, his body-tempering techniques were utterly masterful, and in terms of physical strength alone, few could match him.

As a result, the Heavenly Profound Immortal Sect unleashed this sword array and killed them all with a single blow.

But at this very moment, Chu Lu looked at the enormous sword and merely waved his hand lightly.

Bang!

The colossal sword shattered with a roar, and the backlash from the broken sword array rapidly transferred to the cultivators.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang!

Hundreds of people exploded simultaneously.

Even from Chu Lu's distance, he could see a cloud of blood mist.

However, this was not the end. Sword light flared simultaneously from the other three mountain ranges.

"Demon! We are not finished yet!"

"Primordial Limitless Sword Array!"

"Ethereal Soul-Devouring Sword Array!"

"Nine Yangs Burning Heaven Sword Array!"

Three top-tier sword arrays of the era activated simultaneously.

At this moment, the cultivators within the Heavenly Profound Immortal Sect felt a sense of suffocation.

This was an illusion caused by the surrounding spiritual energy being completely drained.

Now, the entire sky above the vast Heavenly Profound Immortal Sect was covered by the spiritual light of the sword arrays.

The surrounding mortal lifeforms perished due to the power of the sword arrays.

"Die!"

Amidst a hoarse roar, the sword arrays struck towards Chu Lu.

Facing an attack far surpassing anything before, Chu Lu's reaction was as usual.

Phoenix Arrives!

Bang bang bang!

All three sword arrays were broken simultaneously, and the three mountain ranges erupted with bloody mist.

At the same time, the scattered spiritual energy spread wildly, forming a tangible storm.

Chu Lu's expression remained calm as he continued forward. He arrived at Golden Summit Peak and headed towards the Heavenly Profound Palace atop the summit.

"Sigh." At this moment, a sigh suddenly sounded.

An old man with a long beard trailing on the ground suddenly blocked Chu Lu's path.

Chu Lu: "Who are you now?"

"This humble one is Li Jiu," the old man said.

Chu Lu: "?"

Luo Qingdie explained at this moment: "He is the Limitless Sword Immortal of the Heavenly Profound Immortal Sect, a Tribulation Stage cultivator. However, I haven't seen him leave the sect in three thousand years. I didn't expect him to still be alive."

Li Jiu sighed again: "I didn't expect the Sect Master's momentary lapse in judgment to bring such a disaster upon our sect. Daoist Luo, you've killed so many people today, your anger should be appeased by now, right? For my sake, can you retreat?"

"What if I say no?" Chu Lu asked.

"Then don't blame this humble one," Li Jiu said. "Although Daoist Luo is in the Mahayana Stage, you've traveled a long way and just forcefully broke through our sect's four great sword arrays. You must have consumed a lot of magic power, right? This humble one is foolish, although I am only..."

Bang.

Li Jiu's head suddenly fell to the ground.

Chu Lu walked forward slowly, his sword, at some unknown point, now stained with a hint of blood.

"Thank you for your concern," he said, stepping over Li Jiu's corpse. "But I'm not tired."

Chu Lu continued forward.

It had to be said, the Heavenly Profound Immortal Sect's foundation was indeed profound.

Along the way, seven or eight Tribulation Stage cultivators appeared one after another, trying to force Chu Lu to retreat.

Unfortunately, none of them could withstand even one of his sword strikes.

A moment later, he finally arrived at the Heavenly Profound Palace.

He looked ahead, appraising the incredibly luxurious palace before him.

The main body of the Heavenly Profound Palace was built from precious white jade. Each stone was meticulously carved, its surface smooth as a mirror, emitting a gentle luster.

The palace's main gate was crafted from thousand-year-old agarwood, inlaid with countless brilliant gemstones that shimmered with a dreamlike radiance. The door knockers were cast from pure gold, carved with exquisite auspicious patterns that were lifelike.

Chu Lu pushed open the grand doors and walked inside.

Upon entering the main hall, he saw a person seated on the main seat of the hall.
