A piercing scream, like a cuckoo weeping blood, tore through the eternal tranquility of Kunlun Mountain.
On the plaza in front of the Jade Void Palace, Guang Chengzi lay on the ground, his body still convulsing uncontrollably, emitting guttural sounds of unknown meaning.
His right shoulder was gone, and blood mixed with golden Immortal Essence sprayed out like an unmetered spring, dyeing the white jade floor tiles an eye-searing crimson.
At the severed limb, countless fine golden Law runes, like the most venomous maggots clinging to bone, were deeply embedded in his wound. They ceaselessly gnawed at his vitality and Dao Foundation, preventing his Dao body from healing itself.
That severing power, originating from the very source of the Great Dao, left him no chance to even use Spiritual Power to regenerate his severed limb!
"Senior Brother!"
Chi Jingzi was the first to scramble over. The moment he saw the wound on Guang Chengzi, his face instantly lost all color, trembling like fallen leaves in the wind.
Taiyi Zhenren also staggered forward. He looked at his Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover, which had been split in two and its divine light completely dimmed. Then he looked at Guang Chengzi, whose aura was plummeting like an avalanche. His Primordial Spirit ached, and he nearly fainted on the spot.
They had lost.
They had lost so thoroughly, so decisively, so... humiliatingly!
The eleven Golden Immortals of the Heavenly Origin Sect, pooling the luck of Kunlun Mountain, wielding a replica Pangu Banner forged by a Sage, had not even seen the opponent's shadow. They were sent sprawling, disarmed and defeated, by a divine light that had been struck from millions of miles away.
Senior Brother Guang Chengzi had his arm severed on the spot, his Dao Foundation damaged, and his Cultivation Level plummeted!
This was simply a colossal joke!
"Waaah—!"
Huanglong Zhenren watched the tragic scene. Recalling the irresistible golden divine light from just moments ago, his Dao Heart completely collapsed. He sat down on the ground like a mortal, sobbing uncontrollably.
At that very moment.
Deep within Kunlun Mountain, several streams of light, their auras equally vast and powerful, shot up from their respective cave dwellings, tearing through the sea of clouds and instantly descending before the Jade Void Palace.
As the streams of light dispersed, several Daoists appeared, their faces varied, but all surrounded by an aura of immortal golden essence.
They were the remaining Golden Immortals of the Heavenly Origin Sect who had been in seclusion and had not participated in this incident.
True Lord Yu Ding, Daoist Tianzun, True Lord Qingxu, Lingbao Dafashi...
When they saw the apocalyptic scene of devastation on the plaza, all of them were stunned.
"What happened?"
True Lord Yu Ding, possessing the most composed temperament, frowned deeply. He took a step forward and arrived beside Guang Chengzi.
As his gaze fell upon Guang Chengzi's empty right shoulder, and the sharp, cutting sensation that still lingered in the air, making his Primordial Spirit tremble, even his composure broke, and his face changed drastically.
"Senior Brother Guang Chengzi!"
"Who! Who dares to be so presumptuous in our sacred land of Kunlun!"
Daoist Tianzun, with the most fiery temper, saw his Senior Brother's tragic state and instantly flew into a rage. A terrifying aura erupted, stirring the winds and clouds of the nine heavens.
Chi Jingzi's eyes were bloodshot. His voice hoarse, he recounted the events, exaggerating and distorting the truth.
Of course, in his telling, the incident began with the Intercepting Sect's Yao deliberately provoking them and insulting the Sage. To uphold the dignity of the Heavenly Origin Sect, they had given a light punishment from afar. However, unexpectedly, the opponent had gone mad, setting up a vicious trap and ambushing them with an unknown, malevolent demonic treasure.
After hearing his tearful account, True Lord Yu Ding and the others who had just emerged from seclusion were all enraged.
"The Intercepting Sect! It's the Intercepting Sect again!"
"A bunch of beasts with fur and horns, born of water and eggs, how dare they bully our Heavenly Origin Sect so!"
"This is too much! If this revenge is not taken, how can the Heavenly Origin Sect maintain its dignity! How can we stand in the Primordial World in the future!"
A fire of shared hatred burned fiercely in the chests of all the Golden Immortals.
In their eyes, the crippling of Senior Brother Guang Chengzi was no longer a personal grievance. It was the Intercepting Sect's most vicious provocation against the entire Heavenly Origin Sect, the most ruthless trampling of the Sage's authority!
"Help Senior Brother inside to heal!"
A cold killing intent flashed in True Lord Yu Ding's eyes as he made a decisive move.
He reached out, attempting to use his own magic power to help Guang Chengzi suppress the overbearing cutting force on the wound.
However, as his magic power touched the golden runes, it was like ice and snow meeting a hot iron. It was instantly cut to pieces, dissolving into nothingness.
True Lord Yu Ding's heart trembled, and a look of horror flashed in his eyes.
What a domineering power of Laws!
The level of this power seemed to have surpassed the Grand Unity realm that they could comprehend!
He took a deep breath, his face becoming extremely solemn.
"This wretch's Spiritual Power is bizarre; we cannot underestimate him!" True Lord Yu Ding said gravely. "But he has insulted our Heavenly Origin Sect and injured our Senior Brother, this enmity is irreconcilable!"
"All Junior Brothers, follow me!"
With that, True Lord Yu Ding no longer hesitated. He turned and strode towards the depths of the Jade Void Palace.
The other Golden Immortals, including Huanglong Zhenren, whose Dao Heart had just collapsed, now put away their fear. Their faces were once again filled with anger and killing intent.
They were disciples of a Sage, the orthodox lineage of the Heavenly Dao!
If one person couldn't defeat him, then all twelve would go together!
They refused to believe that with the combined power of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Heavenly Origin Sect, they still couldn't deal with a sneaky Yao from the Intercepting Sect!
Soon, the remaining eleven Golden Immortals gathered before an ancient, unadorned platform in the deepest part of the Jade Void Palace.
Hovering above the platform was a simple bronze mirror. Its surface was blurry, as if shrouded in an impenetrable layer of chaos.
This was one of the Jade Void Palace's treasures for suppressing destiny: the Kunlun Mirror!
While not one of the ten legendary Innate Spirit Treasures, the Haotian Mirror, it was nonetheless a Post-Natal Supreme Treasure forged by Yuanshi Tianzun from the copper of Shou Mountain. It possessed the ability to pierce through all heavens and discern karma.
"Rise!"
True Lord Yu Ding stood at the head, chanting incantations and forming mystical hand seals.
The other ten Golden Immortals stood behind him, pouring their spiritual power into the Kunlun Mirror without reservation.
Hummm--!
Eleven torrents of majestic Golden Immortal spiritual power, vast as the sea, converged and surged into the Kunlun Mirror. The ancient mirror surface trembled violently, instantly erupting with divine radiance that stretched for ten thousand feet!
A brilliant pillar of light shot from the mirror, piercing the dome of the Jade Void Palace and soaring into the endless chaos beyond the nine heavens.
Like water, the mirror's light instantly illuminated void stretching for billions of miles, disregarding the barriers of space and time. It began to trace the karmic origin of that golden divine light!
Countless threads of karma appeared, intertwined, and vanished within the mirror.
Finally, under the tense and murderous gazes of the Golden Immortals, the image settled.
Above the East Sea, on an island shrouded in immortal mist, the Three Immortal Islands.
A young man in a green shirt casually tossed a pair of golden scissors back to a female immortal beside him, who looked on with adoration. His posture was relaxed, his expression indifferent, as if he had just performed a trivial task.
"It's him!"
Chi Jingzi pointed at the figure in the mirror, shrieking through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with venom.
"Lock onto him! This scoundrel will surely die today!"
The eleven Golden Immortals exerted their power simultaneously. The Kunlun Mirror flared brilliantly, and an invisible chain of karma, spanning infinite time and space, firmly locked onto the figure in the green shirt on the Three Immortal Islands.
And at the exact same moment they locked onto Lin Feng.
On the Three Immortal Islands.
Bi Xiao received the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors with trembling hands. The familiar cool touch of the metal now felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.
Her beautiful eyes gazed dotingly at Lin Feng's retreating back, her gaze like that of the most devout believer looking up at their deity.
The power of a single snip had crippled the senior disciple of the Heavenly Origin Sect!
What divine might was this? How overbearing?
Who exactly was their Master?
Just as Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao's hearts churned with excitement, unable to contain themselves.
Lin Feng's brow suddenly twitched, as if sensing something. A playful curve formed on his lips.
His gaze slowly lifted, as if piercing through the void, and met the eleven gazes peering from the Kunlun Mirror in the unseen depths.
Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao's expressions changed. They too felt a sense of being locked onto, as if countless eyes were coldly watching them from the distant heavens.
"Master, it's people from the Heavenly Origin Sect!" Qiong Xiao said nervously, as if facing a great enemy.
Lin Feng, however, merely smiled calmly, his tone as relaxed as if he were discussing the weather.
"It seems they're still not convinced and want to come here together."
He paused, then glanced at the two sisters beside him, who were visibly tense. The smile on his lips deepened.
"Very well, it saves me the trouble of finding them one by one."
