After Ancestor Minghe heard Lin Xuan's words, he was instantly scared witless, staring at Lin Xuan with his eyes wide open.
He couldn't believe it.
In the Primordial World, he had survived the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation and evaded the Tribulation of the Witch and Demon.
He had once listened to the Dao in Zixiao Palace and had also been an honored guest of the Three Pure Ones.
In the Primordial World, he was an existence comparable to a sect founder and Dao Ancestor. Whoever saw him had to treat him with the utmost respect!
He had never imagined that he would fall into the hands of a mere young brat this time!
At that thought, a trace of fear involuntarily appeared on Ancestor Minghe's face.
He didn't want to die yet!
Yes, that was right.
The renowned Lord of the Path of Slaughter, Ancestor Minghe, was, at heart, a man who treasured his life and feared death.
He was extremely afraid of death.
That was why he had refined billions of Blood God Son incarnations within the Boundless Blood Sea.
As long as even one Blood God Son survived, Ming He would remain undying.
That was why the Primordial World had the saying: "As long as the Blood Sea does not dry up, Ming He will not die."
But now.
All the Blood God Sons spread throughout the Boundless Blood Sea had been seized by Lin Xuan's divine ability and gathered into his hands.
Moreover, Lin Xuan was actually using Samadhi True Fire to slowly burn and refine them!
This feeling of being slowly roasted over a low flame, quietly waiting for death to descend step by step, magnified the invisible terror to its utmost limit!
Under this terror, Ancestor Minghe's mental defenses were instantly breached!
He desperately tried to resist.
However, the Boundless Blood Sea, once so familiar to him, was now suppressing his body.
It was as if he were using his own power to suppress himself.
Ancestor Minghe was completely pinned down and unable to move.
Only at this moment did he bitterly regret why he had always indulged the Asuras of the Asura Path in slaughtering living beings, collecting blood essence and baleful energy, and merging them into the Boundless Blood Sea.
They had been used to replenish and strengthen the power of the Boundless Blood Sea.
But he had never expected—
now that the Boundless Blood Sea had been strengthened, Lin Xuan would instead use it to suppress him.
In a sense, this could be considered reaping what he had sown, couldn't it?
After realizing this, a deathly-gray expression immediately surfaced on Ancestor Minghe's face.
He lowered his head as if he had accepted his fate, like a hero in his twilight years or a fallen warlord bowing his head.
When Lin Xuan saw Ancestor Minghe's performance, a mocking look immediately appeared in his eyes.
He didn't believe that Ancestor Minghe, who had just been begging him for mercy, would suddenly change his attitude so drastically.
Nor did he believe that he would put on such an expression of being ready to face death.
If acting skills were being judged, Ancestor Minghe could definitely be said to have delivered an explosive performance this time.
But he had acted far too deliberately, and Lin Xuan saw through him completely.
Lin Xuan immediately summoned the Immortal Slaying Sword and slashed it directly toward Ancestor Minghe.
Even without the cooperation of the other three swords, this Innate Slaughtering Divine Sword was still an unparalleled treasure of slaughter.
It inherently possessed the power to sever all karma.
Under the Immortal Slaying Sword's sharp radiance, the Yuantu Abi Twin Swords, which had originally intended to protect their master, were forced back.
As for Ancestor Minghe, an old powerhouse of the Primordial World, his life force was directly severed, and he died.
The instant it slew Ancestor Minghe, the Immortal Slaying Sword's radiance swept around, following through and slaughtering all the Blood God Sons within this stretch of the Boundless Blood Sea, preventing them from reviving him through this means.
After doing all this, the sword radiance around the Immortal Slaying Sword instantly split into countless streams.
Following the karma locked onto in the unseen realm, they slashed toward every corner of the Primordial World.
At the same time.
Throughout the Primordial World, rogue cultivators meditating and refining qi in desolate wildernesses, bloodthirsty and savage demonic beasts, and sect elders giving lectures on meditation and expounding the Dao to their disciples—
at this moment, a trace of blood flashed through all their eyes.
Before they could make any move, a vast sword light descended directly from the heavens.
It slaughtered them all.
When Lin Xuan saw this scene, his brows rose slightly.
So that was Ancestor Minghe's plan. Unfortunately, this method was completely useless before the Immortal Slaying Sword's sharp radiance.
After all, this was a supreme weapon capable of directly killing true spirits.
Lin Xuan then casually collected the four Innate Spiritual Treasures left behind after Ancestor Minghe's death.
At the same time, he sighed silently in his heart.
Why had he bothered?
Wouldn't it have been better to obediently lend me the Karma Fire Red Lotus and the Xuan Yuan Water Control Banner?
Otherwise, how could things have ended up like this? Not only did he fail to keep those Innate Spiritual Treasures, but he lost his life as well.
Afterward, Lin Xuan tossed back the mass of Boundless Blood Sea water that he had gathered into the size of a fist with the Sleeve Universe technique.
In an instant, a surging Blood Sea appeared once more above the Primordial Continent.
However, this time, there was not the slightest trace of life within the Blood Sea. There were only countless Asura corpses, drifting endlessly along its waves.
The seas of consciousness of these Asuras all contained incarnations of Ancestor Minghe's Blood God Sons, so they had naturally been slaughtered by the Immortal Slaying Sword as well.
After finishing all this, Lin Xuan withdrew the Chaos Bead that he had used to Obscure Heavenly Secrets, then left the place.
Not long after Lin Xuan departed.
Two ghosts belonging to the Six Paths of Reincarnation cautiously poked their heads out and ran into the Blood Sea to investigate the situation.
They were nearly scared out of their wits by the horrific scene within the Blood Sea.
After a long while.
Only then did the two ghosts recover, stumbling back to the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the underworld to report the matter through every level.
Finally.
The news reached Empress Pingxin, who was eternally imprisoned in the underworld.
She looked at the intelligence presented by her subordinates. Recalling the aura of Father God's bloodline that she had sensed some time ago, her delicate brows immediately drew together slightly.
These truly were troubled times.
