Tian Yunzi and the others also noticed Luo Chuan in the crowd. They were about to make a move, but they clearly sensed the energy fluctuations emanating from the latter.
"This astonishing power... could it be... Sunie Realm expert?"
Sword Venerable Marquis Lingtian and the others' pupils suddenly shrank, unable to believe that the junior before them was now a powerhouse at the Sunie Realm.
"I said before that this boy must be killed, but you insisted on letting him go. Now look what happened! He has broken through to the Sunie Realm, while we are only at the Jingnie Realm Stage. How can we possibly fight him?"
Tianmozi gritted his teeth. With only the early stage of the Jingnie Realm realm, he was already filled with anger towards the old men in front of him.
If Luo Chuan had been killed in the Demon Spirit Land back then, none of this would have happened. Now he is a powerful expert at the Sunie Realm, and he can kill all the Jingnie Realm cultivators with just a glance.
He hasn't made a move yet because he's still inside the Immortal Emperor Cave Abode. If he leaves, their cultivation star field and even their sect will be slaughtered.
Tian Yunzi stroked his pale goatee, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Although he has broken through to the Shattered Demon Realm, he is still an ant in front of me, utterly vulnerable."
"Fellow Daoists, there's no need to worry. If this boy is truly unruly, I will personally take action to clean up the sect and kill this rebellious disciple on the spot."
Upon hearing Tian Yunzi's words, everyone present visibly breathed a sigh of relief, after all, Tian Yunzi's strength was at the legendary Three Decays of Heaven and Man realm.
With Tian Yunzi's strength, killing a Shattered Fiend cultivator would be a piece of cake.
If this guy doesn't have any trump cards up his sleeve, he's doomed today.
However, Tian Yunzi doesn't plan to take action directly right now, since what he wants is the legendary Immortal Emperor Cave Abode.
After about half an incense stick's time, the group arrived at a secluded valley.
This valley is called Immortal Burial Valley, a forbidden land that terrifies cultivators from all realms.
Any immortal who ventures into this place will be annihilated, their soul destroyed, and forever trapped in the cycle of reincarnation.
Deep within the Immortal Burial Valley, a Immortal Burial Vortex suddenly appeared before Luo Chuan. This violent whirlwind, formed from the endless killing energy accumulated over billions of years, was abruptly gathered together.
This whirlwind was enormous, seemingly capable of tearing apart all the barriers that sealed off the valley. As it continued to compress and condense, a terrifying pressure that sent chills down one's spine swept out wildly and relentlessly.
Deep within the Immortal Burial Vortex, at the instant the Blood Sea below shattered, a hazy female figure slowly emerged from the vortex. She gently raised her hand, and a purple-gold rune appeared on her brow, radiating light and brilliance.
With a flick of her wrist, the unstoppable whirlwind of killing abruptly stopped in an instant, followed by a deafening roar, and then completely disintegrated and vanished.
Luo Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly. Taking advantage of the moment when the woman destroyed the killing whirlwind, he immediately activated his power to collect all the scattered killing energy in the valley into his system space. He would refine and absorb it all when the time was right.
As the woman's figure slowly approached, Luo Chuan clearly saw that her feet were tightly bound by a crimson, sinewy chain. As the woman's figure rose, the crimson chain was stretched taut, gleaming with a cold, sharp light.
The Star-Marked Sable, which had disappeared when the vortex collapsed, flew out from the depths of the vortex and landed at the woman's feet. It gently sniffed the crimson chains, its eyes flashing with Lingdong light, and then lay down on them without moving.
The woman stopped about two hundred feet away from Luo Chuan, raised her head slightly, and stared at Luo Chuan and his group with her empty eye sockets. Dark blood dripped from her hollow eye sockets, falling drop by drop down her pointed chin to the ground.
" The Rune Clan... are there any descendants left in the world?"
A hoarse yet clear and melodious voice, carrying a strange and unpredictable power, emanated from the woman's mouth. Although the voice was hoarse, its lingering resonance was long and persistent, echoing in the ears for a long time.
Gazing at the mysterious woman before him, Luo Chuan frowned slightly, pondering to himself, " The Rune Clan... if my memory serves me correctly, this person should be the Holy Ancestor recorded in the Rune Clan's heritage..."
The original novel described how Qiu Yao, the Holy Ancestor of the Fu Clan, led her people to the Immortal Realm. Qing Lin, the Lord of the Immortal Realm, created a realm for her, and Qing Lin and Qiu Yao also became husband and wife.
However, Qing Lin later discovered that Qiu Yao was an avatar of the daughter of the extraterrestrial Palm Sovereign, and that her purpose in coming to the Immortal Realm was to extract the souls of cultivators.
The purpose is to activate the sacred runes of the Rune Clan and destroy the living beings within the realm, in preparation for the Palm Sovereign to enter the realm and search for the gate to heaven.
After the truth was exposed, Qing Lin sealed Qiu Yao and branded the Rune Clan members with slave marks, making them servants of the Immortal Realm for generations. Some of the Rune Clan servants migrated to the Vermilion Bird Planet and became the Immortal Remnant Clan.
The Rune Clan Immortal Remnant Clan, uses the number of black runes called "Leaf Count" as a standard for classifying strength levels and possesses a unique system of Battle Spellcaster and sorcerers.
Battle Spellcaster primarily engage in close combat, while spellcasters excel in spells, such as the Ten-Leaf Spellmaster Yun Quezi, whose strength can reach the late stage of the Ascendant Realm.
The Immortal Remnant Clan was unwilling to be enslaved. Because the Vermilion Bird State became a sixth-level cultivation power and occupied its territory, a war broke out between the two sides. After being defeated, the Immortal Remnant Clan retreated to the Immortal Legacy Land to recuperate.
They turned Zi Xin, the young sect leader of the Misty Ethereal Immortal Sect, into a puppet, lured cultivators to the Immortal Legacy Land to silence them, and sent Yun Quezi to infiltrate the human race and train cultivators, hoping to use their power to open the boundary gate and allow the army from outside the boundary to enter.
Qiu Yao looked at Luo Chuan in front of her, a strange glint in her eyes. "You have the scent of my Rune Clan on you, and you were actually able to break through to the mid-stage of the Sunie Realm at the age of a thousand. You are truly a gifted and rare talent."
"May I have your name?"
Luo Chuan bowed to Qiu Yao and said, "Junior Luo Chuan greets Senior."
Qiu Yao nodded slightly, then beckoned Luo Chuan over. She had something to say to him and also wanted to know about the current situation of the Rune Clan.
Luo Chuan didn't refuse and stepped over. Just as he was about to say something, Qiu Yao's finger was already on his forehead.
As a wisp of youthful light flickered, Qiu Yao's stunningly beautiful face suddenly changed, and even the aura within her body became incredibly violent at that moment.
"This... this is impossible! My Rune Clan... has actually fallen to this state... this... this is impossible!"
Upon seeing the current state of the Immortal Remnant Clan, Qiu Yao's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, her whole body trembled, and even the aura within her body became incredibly powerful.
" Qing Lin! You beast! Qing Lin!!!"
Qiu Yao's eyes were bloodshot, and her shrill voice, filled with earth-shattering resentment, filled the heavens and earth.
