Inside the great hall, Guang Chengzi's face was ashen, his aura chaotic. The countenance, usually known for its gentle and refined demeanor, was now twisted like that of a malevolent spirit.
They escaped.
He, the dignified foremost among the Heavenly Origin Sect's Twelve Golden Immortals, the direct disciple of a Sage, had been scared into a humiliating retreat by some wild immortal who appeared out of nowhere!
What a profound humiliation!
This was a humiliation more unbearable than being slapped a hundred times to his face!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. The rage in Guang Chengzi's chest was almost solid, threatening to erupt and burn down the entire Jade Void Palace.
That man named Lin Feng, and those two shameless, degenerate female immortals from the Intercepting Sect!
They must die!
They had to die in the most agonizing and humiliating way possible, to wash away the shame he suffered today!
"Insolent brat, how dare you deceive me!"
Gritting his teeth, Guang Chengzi abruptly stood up and strode quickly toward the depths of the Jade Void Palace, toward the forbidden area perpetually shrouded in chaotic energy.
He wanted to see his Master and request Yuanshi Tianzun to issue a decree, allowing him to legitimately lead the Heavenly Origin Sect immortals to flatten that insignificant Three Immortal Islands!
However, as soon as he approached within a hundred feet of the forbidden area, an invisible yet irresistible gentle force pushed him back.
Simultaneously, a majestic and vast voice, devoid of any emotion, echoed in his Primordial Spirit.
"The tribulation is approaching. You should all quietly chant the Yellow Court scriptures and cultivate in seclusion, refraining from venturing out to become entangled in karma."
It was his Master's voice!
But these words were like a bucket of ice water poured over Guang Chengzi's rage.
Not allowed to go out?
Guang Chengzi stood frozen, his expression shifting from anger to astonishment, finally settling into a sinister grimace.
He understood. His Master was warning him not to provoke trouble.
But he couldn't swallow this insult!
The pride of a Sage's disciple, the dignity of the foremost among the Twelve Golden Immortals, made it impossible for him to act as if nothing had happened.
After standing there for a long time, a flash of ruthless madness crossed Guang Chengzi's eyes.
If Master didn't allow him to risk himself and get involved in karma, then giving them an unforgettable lesson from millions of miles away should be acceptable, right?
As long as he didn't step out of Kunlun Mountain, no matter how great the karma, it wouldn't involve him!
Having made up his mind, Guang Chengzi turned and left, no longer bothering to ask for permission.
He went directly to the Heavenly Origin Sect's treasury.
"Senior Brother Guang Chengzi?"
The disciples guarding the treasury bowed respectfully upon seeing him, their eyes filled with reverence.
"Master has issued an order to bestow a Magic Treasure to punish the arrogant and rebellious individuals from the East Sea."
Guang Chengzi's expression remained unchanged as he casually made up an excuse, his tone authoritative and leaving no room for doubt.
The gatekeeping disciples dared not question him and quickly opened the treasury doors.
Guang Chengzi walked straight in, his gaze sweeping over the rows of dazzling spiritual treasures. Finally, it stopped at the deepest part of the treasury, on a small, apricot-yellow banner suspended there, encased in heavy restrictions.
The Pangu Banner!
Of course, it was a replica.
It was a post-celestial merit spiritual treasure refined by Yuanshi Tianzun, imitating the true primordial treasure, the Pangu Banner. Although its power was less than one hundred millionth of the original, it was more than enough to deal with a few Grand Unity Golden Immortals.
A glint of greed and fervor flashed in Guang Chengzi's eyes as he carefully took out the replica Pangu Banner.
Holding the banner, his confidence surged instantly, as if he could already see the Three Immortal Islands turning to dust under its sway.
"Hmph, ignorant fools, do they think I, myself, would dirty my hands by dealing with them?"
Guang Chengzi snorted coldly and turned to walk out of the treasury.
He didn't stop there. Instead, he summoned his fellow disciples, including Chi Jingzi, Taiyi Zhenren, and Huanglong Zhenren, and recounted his "encounter" on the Three Immortal Islands with embellishments.
Of course, he beautified his own retreat, claiming that the opponents had used despicable sneak attacks with their numbers, and that he had made a strategic withdrawal to uphold the honor of their sect.
"Outrageous! How dare these mere side-branch disciples of the Intercepting Sect be so presumptuous!"
"Senior Brother Guang Chengzi, we absolutely cannot let this matter rest! We must let them know that the might of the Heavenly Origin Sect cannot be challenged!"
"Indeed, we should teach them a bloody lesson!"
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Origin Sect Golden Immortals were indeed filled with righteous indignation and shared a common enemy.
In their view, those creatures of the Intercepting Sect, with their fur and horns, born from water and eggs, weren't even worthy of carrying their shoes. Now, they dared to bully their eldest senior brother. How could this be tolerated?
"My fellow junior brothers, please remain calm."
Guang Chengzi waved his hand, feigning magnanimity, and said, "Master has ordered that we not easily descend the mountain. However, punishing the wicked and upholding the honor of the Heavenly Origin Sect is also our duty. Today, I will bring out this replica Pangu Banner and perform a ritual with all my junior brothers, acting from afar to give the Three Immortal Islands a light punishment, and let them know the immensity of heaven and earth!"
Hearing about the powerful replica Pangu Banner, everyone's confidence soared, and they all cheered.
A crowd surrounded Guang Chengzi as they arrived at the vast plaza in front of the Jade Void Palace.
Guang Chengzi tossed the imitation Pangu Banner into the air, chanting incantations and forming profound hand seals as he began to channel his magic power.
The other Golden Immortals each took their positions, continuously pouring their magic power into the banner.
Hummm--!
The imitation Pangu Banner grew against the wind, instantly expanding to a hundred zhang in size. On its surface, chaotic energy swirled, and terrifying tearing laws began to gather, causing the spiritual energy of the entire Kunlun Mountain to surge!
Visible streaks of chaotic sword energy condensed on the banner, remotely locking onto a coordinate millions of miles away, over the East Sea.
A cruel and gleeful smile spread across Guang Chengzi's face.
He could already imagine the despairing wails of those three bitches from the Three Immortal Islands as their home was destroyed.
However, at that very instant.
On the Three Immortal Islands.
Lin Feng, who had just completely mastered his new spiritual power while sitting cross-legged, suddenly raised his head.
His gaze seemed to pierce through endless time and space, landing directly on the misty, cloud-shrouded sacred land—Kunlun Mountain.
The corner of his mouth curled into an icy, chilling arc.
"Seeking death."
Three simple words escaped his lips, yet they carried a chill that caused the surrounding temperature to plummet.
Beside him, Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao, who had been looking at him with adoration and chattering excitedly, were startled by the sudden cold aura and quickly fell silent.
"Master?"
Bi Xiao asked cautiously, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion.
Lin Feng didn't turn around, merely extending his hand.
"Lend me your scissors."
His tone was casual, as if he were borrowing a trivial trinket.
Bi Xiao was stunned for a moment, then, without the slightest hesitation, she respectfully handed over the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, which she cherished as her own life.
"Yes, Master."
Although she didn't know what her Master intended to do, a strange sense of excitement and anticipation surged within her.
Master was going to make a move!
Lin Feng took the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, feeling their coldness in his hand.
He sensed the cutting laws contained within them and then glanced in the direction of Kunlun Mountain, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
Playing with cutting against him?
It was like showing off carpentry skills before Master Lu Ban, or wielding a sword before Guan Gong.
He didn't even bother to stand up.
He remained seated cross-legged, holding the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, and slowly infused the newly comprehended spiritual power—a fusion of formation and cutting abilities—into it.
Hum!
The Golden Flood Dragon Scissors trembled violently, emitting an excited hum!
It sensed a power that was far more advanced, purer, and terrifyingly superior to its own origin, and it was of the same nature!
Empowered by this force, the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors began to change its form. No longer appearing as two flood dragons, it transformed into a more pure, condensed, golden divine scissor, seemingly made of light itself!
Lin Feng raised his hand.
And with a distant snip towards Kunlun Mountain!
His movement was effortless, utterly casual.
However, the moment this snip descended!
The entire Primordial World seemed to freeze at that instant!
A golden divine light erupted from the scissor blades, not tearing space, nor summoning wind and thunder. It simply bypassed all obstacles of time and space, appearing directly above the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain!
Simultaneously.
An ice-cold voice, echoing throughout the Kunlun mountain range and even exploding deep within the Primordial Spirits of all living beings, descended with a roar!
"Guang Chengzi, take this!"
On the plaza, Guang Chengzi, who had been wearing a sinister grin and preparing to shake the banner, froze mid-expression!
He suddenly looked up, his pupils contracting to the size of pinpricks as he saw the golden divine light piercing through the heavens and earth!
What was that?!
A fear that originated from the deepest part of his soul, indescribable in words, surged like a breached dam, instantly engulfing his entire mind!
In the face of that golden divine light, the imitation Pangu Banner in his hand was like a ridiculous toy! All the chaotic sword energy it had gathered could not even struggle before that supreme might that severed all things, being crushed and vanishing into nothingness without resistance!
"No... Impossible!"
Guang Chengzi let out a hysterical scream, his voice filled with extreme shock and disbelief.
Chi Jingzi, Taiyi Zhenren, and the other Heavenly Origin Sect Golden Immortals turned deathly pale, their bodies trembling like sieves. They couldn't even stand steadily, collapsing to the ground.
They looked up, like mortals witnessing the arrival of the apocalypse, their eyes fixed only on the golden divine light slowly descending, representing absolute death!
Crack!
