Chapter 354: A Soul Returns to Its Homeland—"Please Keep Subscribing!"
Outside the eastern city gate.
The fierce winds gradually subsided, and the dust slowly settled.
Only the lingering, razor-sharp sword qi and the dragon's might that had yet to disperse spoke of the heart-stopping battle at the pinnacle that had just decided the turning of an era.
Countless onlookers stood utterly silent, staring in shock at the figure standing tall in the sky and the slowly falling body that marked the definitive end of an era.
Every cultivator knew.
From this moment onward, Skyreach Prefecture had truly entered a brand-new chapter.
As Xu Mingxian and Xu Deling looked at Xu Chuan, faint smiles rose involuntarily to their lips.
Heartfelt pride filled them!
Several breaths later.
The deathly silence broke beneath a tidal wave of voices.
"He's dead?! The Xi Household Ancestor... Xi Daoyun has fallen!"
"Heavens! Withered Glory True Lord actually slew a sword cultivator comparable to the nascent soul middle stage?!"
"He might have been grievously wounded, but he was still a Nascent Soul cultivator! Besides, the Xi Household Ancestor clearly used a mystic art to restore his strength to its peak."
"A Golden Core slaying a Nascent Soul against the odds—even if there were some qualifications, this must be the first such case in the Northwest in a thousand years, right?"
"From today onward, Skyreach Prefecture belongs entirely to the Xu Household!"
"We knew their era was over when the entire Xi Household moved away, but only now, seeing their Ancestor fall, does it truly feel real."
"Exactly. The Xi Household's glory rested on their Ancestor alone. His death marks their true curtain fall—and the beginning of a new era for Skyreach Prefecture!"
Amid the boiling clamor, two streaks of escape light swept in from the distant mountains.
