Chapter 401
514. The Great Purge
In an instant, the world changed color, and the sun and moon lost their luster.
Under that terrifying power, even from a great distance, billions of living beings still felt a wave that shook the heavens and earth.
It's like the end of the world has arrived!
Those terrifying attacks, like thunderbolts from the heavens, struck down upon the pure white beam of light, attempting to destroy it.
Rumble~~~
In an instant, endless explosions rang out, and mushroom clouds rose one after another.
The terrifying aftershocks raged in all directions, destroying boundless mountains and rivers, causing the earth to collapse, rivers and lakes to flow backward, and sandstorms to sweep across the land, creating an extremely frightening scene.
"As expected of a battle between Earth Immortals."
"However, there should be some kind of resolution by now..."
"Is it Princess Xiao's side, or the Ziwei Sacred Land's side...?"
"Their respective leaders haven't even arrived, so why are their subordinates fighting so fiercely?"
"This battle is likely to last a long time."
Someone murmured to themselves, a hint of regret in their eyes.
Their future is uncertain, like that of ants.
As long as the battle for the throne continues, they may all die in the chaos of war.
Better to be a dog in times of peace than a human in times of chaos.
This statement applies not only to secular dynasties but also to monks.
"Won't Qianhua be in danger? Can she fight against so many Earth Immortals by herself?"
Lin Wanqiu said with some concern.
"If I'm not mistaken, the path Qianhua is following should be one of the top ten Supreme Great Dao among all the myriad paths in the heavens, the Origin Great Dao... If my guess is correct, then defeating these Earth Immortals should be a piece of cake!"
Looking at the chaotic battle in the sky, the Innate Osmanthus slowly spoke.
"Huh? Qianhua did say that she mastered the Origin Great Dao after her rebirth, but is this Dao so powerful that it allows her to fight against dozens of Earth Immortals single-handedly?"
Ye Ruoshui asked, slightly surprised.
"Each Great Dao is a manifestation of a cosmic law or order. Their power is not inherently superior or inferior, but the scope and depth they encompass differ greatly. This is why there is a ranking among the Great Daos... A higher-ranking Great Dao almost completely crushes a lower-ranking one..."
"Innate Osmanthus explained."
They were talking like this.
But most people don't know this; they only see it.
Luo Qianhua's act of launching a solo attack on dozens of Earth Immortals was truly reckless and suicidal.
However, the course of the battle took an unexpected turn.
In a series of clashes, Luo Qianhua surprisingly gained the upper hand, forcing the ancient earth immortal of the Ziwei Holy Land into a series of defeats.
The terrifying phenomenon formed by countless supernatural powers and spells could not get close to Luo Qianhua at all. It was blocked by an extremely pure primordial power and quickly obliterated!
This scene immediately caused the pupils of the ancient earth immortals from other sacred lands and aristocratic families to shrink sharply.
"What?!"
"How is that possible?"
Luo Qianhua's strength far exceeded their imagination and completely overturned common sense.
"Where did this woman come from? How can she be so strong?!"
"Is she Princess Xiao...?"
"It shouldn't be. I've met Princess Xiao once, and she doesn't resemble her at all..."
The ancient immortals of all the sacred lands never expected that Princess Xiao's side would have such a powerful figure.
He single-handedly managed to destroy many ancient immortals.
All I saw was...
Every move Luo Qianhua made, every move she made, contained the Great Dao Power.
Boom!
Just one strike.
Thump thump thump...
Everyone present, including the Earth Immortals from the Ziwei Sacred Land, was instantly shattered and turned into ashes.
Only a handful of lucky survivors managed to escape, but they were severely injured and fled in haste, no longer caring about saving face.
"You... you're so cruel!"
One of the Earth Immortals coughed up blood and staggered back, looking at Luo Qianhua with a face full of fear and apprehension in his eyes.
"You bunch of chickens and dogs, do you think you're worthy to compete with His Highness for the Heavenly Dao Source?"
Luo Qianhua glanced at the various immortals fleeing in all directions and said disdainfully in a cold voice.
This is the Origin Great Dao.
The Supreme Great Dao that ranks among the top ten of all the myriad paths in the heavens!
Although she was not the originator of this path, her strength far surpassed that of ordinary Earth Immortals thanks to it.
She alone could sweep away dozens of Earth Immortals present!
"Hmph! Don't get Ancestor Taiwei returns, he will personally suppress and kill you!"
A blood-soaked immortal from the Ziwei Sacred Land gritted his teeth and cursed venomously.
The words had barely left his mouth.
Suddenly, the void trembled, a vortex formed in the sky, and three figures emerged from it.
One of them, dressed in a purple robe, instantly sped up upon appearing and flew rapidly towards them.
The figure in purple robes moved like lightning, instantly tearing through the sky and descending before everyone.
Upon seeing the arrival of reinforcements, the Earth Immortal of the Ziwei Sacred Land was overjoyed and shouted, "Ancestor, please take action and suppress this woman!"
The other scattered earth immortals also stopped and gathered back near the Ancestor Taiwei, all looking at him with expectant eyes.
"The patriarch has returned!"
"With the return of our patriarch, we will surely triumph!"
However, the Ancestor Taiwei frowned slightly as he looked at the group of defeated and raging immortals from various holy lands, and asked softly, "Are all of you here?"
Upon hearing this, an ancient Earth Immortal from the Ziwei Sacred Land spoke up before the others, his expression quite obsequious. "Reporting to the Ancestor, all 135 sacred lands, families, and dynasties in the Central Eastern Pole World are here, originally numbering 67 Earth Immortals and 830 Supreme Beings... Just now, 70% of them were lost at the hands of that demoness. It seems the Ancestor intervened and suppressed the demoness!"
"Um."
Upon hearing this, the Ancestor Taiwei nodded, seemingly not taking it too seriously.
At this moment, the other two figures who came with him also crossed the void and slowly stepped forward, revealing their full forms.
The woman walking in front wore a golden brocade dress, her face was exquisitely beautiful, her black hair was as black as a waterfall, and her figure was slender and graceful. Every move she made carried a touch of aloofness and nobility, as if a celestial empress had descended to earth.
The male figure following behind her was dressed in a black robe, with a heroic face and deep eyes. He exuded an aura that seemed to belong to another world, yet he also gave off a sense of power and mystery.
Those who are knowledgeable and have personally witnessed the demeanor of an immortal will know that this is a true immortal master!
But at this moment, this immortal was following behind the woman like a guard, step by step.
Upon seeing the woman's figure approaching, Luo Qianhua's expression immediately lit up with joy.
"Your Highness!"
"I'm back!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Minghuang nodded slightly, a smile appearing in her eyes, "Thank you for your hard work. Leave this to me."
"Um!"
Luo Qianhua nodded obediently, and with a flash, she retreated back among the crowd.
Upon witnessing this scene, an ancient immortal from the Ziwei Sacred Land suddenly felt uneasy. He tentatively urged the Ancestor Taiwei, respectfully saying, "Ancestor, this Princess Xiao's talent is almost demonic. If we don't nip it in the bud as soon as possible, it may be detrimental to you!"
However, the Ancestor Taiwei completely ignored him. Seeing that Xiao Minghuang and Luo Qianhua had finished their conversation, he stepped forward, bowed, cupped his hands, and respectfully repeated the words of the ancient earth immortal from the Ziwei Sacred Land.
"Your Highness, all 135 sacred lands, noble families, and dynasties in the Central Heaven Eastern Pole World are here. There were originally 67 Earth Immortals and 830 Supreme Beings... 70% of them have already perished at the hands of Miss Luo. Please, Your Highness, decide how to deal with them!"
His tone was calm and unhurried, yet exceptionally respectful to his senior. Each word he uttered caused the faces of the Earth Immortals of the Ziwei Sacred Land, and even those ancient Earth Immortals who had miraculously survived, to change drastically.
Those Earth Immortals who had just been clamoring to suppress Xiao Minghuang were especially terrified.
"What happened?!"
"Isn't the Ancestor Taiwei the patriarch of the Ziwei Sacred Land? Why does he seem to be Princess Xiao's subordinate?"
The surviving immortals were terrified and wanted to turn and run away, but they stood there helplessly, not knowing what to do.
"This... this... Master... you..."
The ancient immortal from the Ziwei Sacred Land looked to the Ancestor Taiwei for help, a last glimmer of hope remaining in his eyes.
"I have never claimed to have any connection with the Ziwei Sacred Land."
The Ancestor Taiwei frowned, as if he had encountered something unclean, and stopped uttering a single unnecessary word.
"Puff!"
A burst of purple light shot out, and a head the size of a bucket flew into the sky, gushing out blood that stained the sky red.
The ancient immortal of the Ziwei Sacred Land died on the spot!
"Hiss!"
The remaining immortals trembled with fear, their faces turning deathly pale.
They never expected that the Ancestor Taiwei, whom they thought was their savior, would treat them like dirt.
He didn't even bother to explain; he simply killed him with a single sword strike!
"Ancestor Taiwei, we are all from sacred families..."
"Fellow Daoist Taiwei, we were once in the same boat..."
"You treacherous and treacherous dog!"
The remaining Earth Immortals were completely panicked, shouting angrily, their faces filled with grief and indignation.
No matter how these people roared and insulted him, the Ancestor Taiwei turned a deaf ear, waved his sleeves, and struck out with a palm, which exploded with a loud bang.
In an instant, a gale swept through, the sky shattered, and the void collapsed.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."
With a series of muffled thuds, the dozen or so Earth Immortals were smashed into a pulp and died a violent death.
Ancestor Taiwei was a true immortal, possessing an overwhelming advantage over ordinary earth immortals. In just a few breaths, nearly a hundred earth immortals and hundreds of supreme beings from various holy lands all died at his hands.
"Hiss!"
"That's too cruel! That's too cruel!"
The cultivators watching from afar gasped in shock, their faces filled with horror.
After doing all this, the Ancestor Taiwei looked up at Xiao Minghuang, bowed, and said, "Princess, all the villains have been executed."
"Um."
Xiao Minghuang nodded, not paying much attention.
Her immediate priority is to integrate the Five Realms and grasp the Heavenly Dao Source; as for other matters, she can deal with them later.
Because the Epochal Annihilation is imminent.
The Heavenly Dao Source of the Zhongtian Eastern Pole World originally had about 20,000 years of life remaining, but the Eastern Pole Emperor severed the World Origin in advance, which damaged the Heavenly Dao Source and greatly reduced its lifespan.
