Panic spread, a clash with Heavenly Baleful

"What Senior Brother Tiansha said is quite right."

Xu Dewen smiled faintly.

"Fellow disciples, please sit down, there's no need to be so polite."

"Thank you, Tiansha."

Everyone took their seats.

Heavenly Baleful True Lord said, "True Lord have come here mainly to Xuan Sha on his breakthrough."

Seeing my junior brother's demeanor...

I believe that your future achievements will be no less than mine.

Therefore, I felt at ease traveling abroad.

Upon hearing this, the others immediately asked in surprise, "Tiansha is leaving the sect?"

"Has Senior Brother made any breakthroughs?"

Heavenly Baleful True Lord waved his hand and said, "Fellow disciples, please calm down. Our sect has Ye Ming, Junior Brother Seven Kills, and Junior Brother Xuan Sha."

Whether I'm there or not doesn't matter much.

If there is any emergency, Junior Brother Seven Kills will crush my Spiritual Consciousness Jade Token, and I will naturally rush back immediately.

As for a breakthrough...

If becoming Spirit Transformation were that easy, how could there have been no one who broke through to this level in the past tens of thousands of years?

It all depends on one's own fortuitous opportunity.

Everyone fell silent.

Heavenly Baleful True Lord looked at Seven-Kill True Lord and said, "Seven Kills, while I am away, the entire sect is in your hands."

"Senior brother, junior brother also plans to go into seclusion. Xuan Sha is exceptionally talented and is already capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility of our Heavenly Baleful Sect Great Liang."

The Joyous Union Sect has already been taken over by newcomers, and my Heavenly Baleful Sect cannot fall behind.

Ultimately, the younger generation will rule the world.

It's time to give them some real experience.

"What you say makes sense, Junior Brother Xuan Sha. What is your own opinion?"

Xu Dewen clasped his hands and said, "I am grateful for Senior Brother Seven Kills's high regard, but there is also Senior Brother Ye Ming."

How dare I take charge of the Heavenly Baleful Sect?

Night Nether True Lord smiled slightly, "I also plan to go into seclusion again soon, until I break through the bottleneck of perfection."

"Since Junior Brother Seven Kills says you're capable, then you can manage it. I have no objections."

"This..

59

Seven-Kill True Lord said, "Junior Brother Xuan Sha, you shouldn't refuse."

My senior brother Ye Ming and I are in seclusion, while my senior brother Tiansha Sha is traveling. Our Heavenly Baleful Sect always needs powerful Great Cultivator to oversee things.

Otherwise, they will easily be underestimated by other forces.

"Since Senior Brother Seven Kills has said so, how can I, Junior Brother, refuse again? The Heavenly Baleful Sect has nurtured me all these years."

It's time for me to give back.

He clasped his hands in a fist salute to the three members of the Seven Kills, saying, "Brothers, rest assured, I will certainly take good care of the Heavenly Baleful Sect."

"I will certainly not allow my sect's prestige to be tarnished."

Seven-Kill True Lord patted him on the shoulder, "That's more like it, Junior Brother Xuan Sha, give it a try."

No force in the Blackwater Domain dares to cause trouble for my Heavenly Baleful Sect.

"Junior brother understands."

Then.

Heavenly Baleful True Lord and Night Nether True Lord departed.

On the road.

Heavenly Baleful True Lord said, "Junior brother, I'm temporarily entrusting the Heavenly Baleful Sect to your care."

Xuan Sha was ultimately a midway through his studies.

If he does anything that harms the interests of our sect, you may directly take action to suppress him.

"Senior Brother Tiansha doesn't trust him?"

"He comes from Land of Imprisonment and has grown up too fast, although he has not done anything outrageous so far."

But I'm still worried.

"If that's the case, why not just eliminate it directly?"

"Because he is truly outstanding, if our sect wants to continue to dominate the Joyous Union Sect and other sects for the next thousand years..."

Within the entire sect, only he could do that.

"Is this a test, senior brother?"

"That's right. If he does well, the Heavenly Baleful Sect can be completely handed over to him in the future."

You, me, and Seven Kills Brother Qisha, ultimately don't have much Lifespan.

Within two or three hundred years, if no one emerges to shoulder this responsibility...

That means we must weaken the strength of the other families before we pass away.

Otherwise, the Heavenly Baleful Sect will not have a stable future.

Of course, doing so also carries significant risks, and should not be undertaken lightly unless absolutely necessary.

"What you say is very true, senior brother."

"This test is now in your hands. With your Nascent Soul Perfection Cultivation Realm and your ability to conceal Divine Ability..."

It shouldn't be difficult to observe him secretly.

"Understood, Senior Brother."

Heavenly Baleful True Lord Sha nodded, then summoned an Escape Light and left the Heavenly Baleful Sect.

But.

He did not inform Night Nether True Lord that he was going to Southern Heaven.

He was always wary of everyone.

There is no true loyalty in the world of Demonic Path, unless one 'Life and Death are completely in one's control.

If that's the case, there's no need to worry about loyalty anymore; if you're not satisfied, you can just eliminate the other person and find someone else.

Xu Dewen broke through, and in order to create momentum for him, the Heavenly Baleful Sect invited various top forces.

They arrived in far greater numbers than on the day Martial Sect Wuzong established his dynasty.

But.

This time, an unexpected incident occurred.

The disciples who went to deliver the invitation to the Bloodslaughter Sect encountered a battle between Nascent Soul Cultivator near the Bloodslaughter Sect.

The two sides in the battle were surprisingly cultivators suspected to be from the True Demon Palace and Wan Miesheng, Wan Miesheng for a long time.

They heard only a few words, but they were already horrified.

"The Bloodslaughter Sect has been wiped out!"

"How dare the True Demon Palace do this!"

A short while later, they heard the True Demon Palace cultivators refute this, saying that it was Wan Miesheng who did it.

Wan Miesheng wished it were him who did it.

However, he was only at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, and there was no way he could be destroyed. He only came here to collect some interest first.

Furthermore, the Bloodslaughter Sect, which Wan Miesheng, possesses a True Demon Spirit Vein.

Bu Heng said, "We should leave, otherwise we'll be in danger once they stop."

We died in this desolate wilderness, and no one knows who killed us.

"Brother Bu Heng is right."

The three immediately moved away from the Bloodslaughter Sect.

They didn't even bother to notify the next family; they went straight back to the Heavenly Baleful Sect and reported the matter.

Seven-Kill True Lord and Xu Dewen summoned more than ten Nascent Soul to discuss this matter.

"What? The Bloodslaughter Sect has been destroyed?" a Nascent Soul elder from Blood Fiend Peak exclaimed in surprise.

Xu Dewen said, "It's not certain; we still need someone to verify it."

What exactly happened?

Xu Dewen revealed what Bu Heng and the others knew.

Therefore, they summoned all the Golden Core disciples and questioned them one by one.

Then, everyone fell silent.

Xu Dewen said, "It's uncertain whether the True Demon Palace did it. I'll go to the Bloodslaughter Sect later."

Would Senior Brother Primordial Baleful be willing to accompany me?

Primordial Baleful True Lord was somewhat surprised, but then nodded slightly, "Alright."

"Could it be that Wan Miesheng did it? According to those disciples, Wan Miesheng has already broken through to the Nascent Soul."

Even beyond the Nascent Soul Early Stage.

"Back then, he was a Heavenly Pride in the Blackwater Domain, not much weaker than the Top Heavenly Pride the Four Sects."

Primordial Baleful True Lord said, "The Bloodslaughter Sect suddenly announced his betrayal and is openly hunting him down."

This was an unsolved mystery at the time.

However, Wan Miesheng without a trace after that.

It seems he felt confident in his strength this time, which is why he dared to approach the Bloodslaughter Sect.

"How can Nascent Soul Middle Stage possibly defeat the entire Bloodslaughter Sect?" someone scoffed. "If top-tier forces were so easy to destroy..."

"How could so many Blackwater Domain still exist?"

"It is indeed more likely to be the True Demon Palace, after all, those disciples also said that the Bloodslaughter Sect has a Fourth Tier True Demon Spirit Vein hidden in it."

Even my Heavenly Baleful Sect only has one.

It's not impossible that they've been targeted by the True Demon Palace.

After some discussion.

Xu Dewen and Primordial Baleful True Lord went to the Bloodslaughter Sect to investigate.

The traces of the great battle are still visible there.

However, the Bloodslaughter Sect's Grand Formation had already disappeared.

"Judging from the marks, we can only conclude that it comes from a True Demonic Technique, while the other side does indeed resemble a Blood Slaughter Sect technique."

"That's consistent with my judgment."

They entered the Bloodslaughter Sect's territory, but many of the buildings there had already collapsed.

Even the Spiritual Qi was scarce.

"All the Spirit Vein of the Third Rank and above have been drained, and there are indeed traces of True Demon Spirit Vein that once existed here."

Primordial Baleful True Lord turned to look at Xu Dewen, "Junior Brother, what are your thoughts?"

"More than 70% of the work was done by the True Demon Palace. We will not announce this beforehand, but will inform them at the grand ceremony."

Even if it's uncertain, we must still put other forces on guard.

After all, if it was them who did it, it means they're about to make a big move.

"Junior brother is very thoughtful. There are no useful resources left here. Let's go back."

"Good."

More than a month later.

All factions gathered at the Heavenly Baleful Sect.

"Besides celebrating Junior Brother Xuan Sha's breakthrough, I have also prepared to go into seclusion."

From now on, all matters, big and small Heavenly Baleful Sect will be decided by Xuan Sha.

I hope my fellow Daoists will spare me any trouble, for my sake.

"Seven Kills Sha, you're too kind!"

"Yes, who in the Blackwater Domain dares to provoke the Heavenly Baleful Sect?"

"The True Lord Xuan Sha is a peerless genius, the Number One Heavenly Pride of the Blackwater Domain. The future will surely belong to him."

Praise and flattery poured in.

Most of those who spoke were only at the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul.

Great Cultivator doesn't need to go to such lengths.

"Junior Brother Xuan Sha, why don't you say a few words?" said Seven-Kill True Lord.

"Thank you all for coming. Next, True Lord have something important to tell you."

Regarding the Bloodslaughter Sect.

"What happened to the Bloodslaughter Sect?" Meiji asked calmly.

Xu Dewen's gaze swept over everyone present, and he said, "The Bloodslaughter Sect no longer exists."

"They were wiped out?"

"How is that possible?!"

"Several years ago, I even witnessed Fellow Daoist Bloodslaughter!"

"Please calm down, everyone. This matter was discovered by several Golden Core disciples of our sect, and was later confirmed by Senior Brother Primordial Baleful and myself."

The Bloodslaughter Sect has been destroyed; its Sect-Protecting Grand Formation no longer exists, and the entire sect has been looted, with even the high-end Spirit Vein drained away.

"Xuan Sha, who is responsible for this?" asked Heavenly Ghost True Lord.

"There are only two suspects: one is the True Demon Palace, and the other is Wan Miesheng, a traitor from the Bloodslaughter Sect."

"Wan Miesheng, didn't that guy disappear without a trace for hundreds of years?"

He's appeared again?

In such a short time, has he grown to the point of annihilating the entire Bloodslaughter Sect?

That's absolutely impossible!

"Yes, only three people could possibly destroy a top-tier power on their own: Heavenly Baleful True Lord, Old Man Myriad Souls, and Netherworld True Lord."

And it's definitely not easy.

Xu Dewen didn't say much, just recounted what had happened and let them guess for themselves.

This is undoubtedly a clever technique.

After all, the more you say, the more mistakes you make; you'll only believe what they analyze and guess themselves.

"If the murderer is indeed one of the two, the True Demon Palace is certainly more likely."

Fan Xue frowned and said, "But are they crazy?"

Or does the Bloodslaughter Sect possess something they desire?

Xu Dewen said, "We have already confirmed that the Bloodslaughter Sect possesses a Fourth Tier True Demon Spirit Vein."

"Is the Bloodslaughter Sect really that well hidden? No wonder they used to have Bloodslaughter Demons every few hundred years."

"With superior True Demon cultivation techniques and a fourth-tier True Demon spiritual vein, it would indeed be easier to cultivate top-tier geniuses."

Someone remarked with emotion.

"Now that many fellow Daoists are here, my Heavenly Baleful Sect is informing you of this matter. We hope that you will all be careful."

If they could silently destroy the Bloodslaughter Sect, they have the ability to destroy any top-tier force in the Blackwater Domain.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of many Nascent Soul Cultivator changed drastically.

A Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator asked, "True Lord Xuan Sha, what should we do?"

"If even top-tier forces can't stop us, how can ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators like us have no chance of survival?"

"That's not necessarily true. The Bloodslaughter Sect was destroyed probably because they wanted something from it."

Ordinary forces wouldn't be this unlucky.

"What if they actually did it?"

"That would mean becoming an enemy of all forces in my Blackwater Domain! Whether it's the True Demon Palace or any other force."

It is also impossible for them to withstand the overwhelming power of the entire Blackwater Domain.

However, if you are really worried, you can Divine Sense Jade Talisman in the hands of someone you are on good terms with.

If you encounter danger, crush the pieces immediately.

It's not time to panic yet. Once the entire Blackwater Domain unites, then we must follow their orders.

I imagine you wouldn't be willing to follow the orders of our Dominant Faction unless absolutely necessary.

"True Lord Xuan Sha has considered everything carefully, so we will do as you say and observe the situation first."

If something unexpected happens to anyone, they can only accept their bad luck.

The news of the Bloodslaughter Sect's destruction has caused great anxiety among various factions.

The ceremony concluded quickly.

Upon their return, all factions began preparing contingency plans.

As for the Martial Sect, no one mentioned him again for a short time.

Two weeks later.

The Seven-Kill True Lord has officially gone into seclusion.

Xu Dewen possessed a unique Divine Sense; every time he left his cave abode, he would vaguely sense someone watching him.

He couldn't find the other person.

But they quickly guessed that the person was Night Nether True Lord.

Night Nether True Lord's strength is already among the top in the world; all that remains is to break through to the Spirit Transformation.

However, Spirit Transformation is extremely difficult, and not everyone will choose this path.

Moreover, the Heavenly Baleful Sect also has the Heavenly Baleful True Lord suppressing it.

After guessing this, Xu Dewen became even more cautious when going out, spending most of his time within the Heavenly Baleful Sect.

He may be in seclusion or handling some business.

Heavenly Baleful True Lord crossed the Heavenly Passage River and entered the territory of Southern Heaven.

Seven or eight days later.

He arrived in Void Clarity City.

"Southern Heaven, I haven't been here for hundreds of years."

As the undisputed strongest figure in the Blackwater Domain and Demonic Path Magnate, Heavenly Baleful True Lord has gradually returned to his original simplicity.

He walked down the street, perfectly concealing his overwhelming Sha Qi, just like an ordinary, burly man.

Although the Demonic Path and the righteous path have different power attributes, they both lead to the Cultivation Realm of Immortal Way.

To break through to the Spirit Transformation, the most important thing is to gain a deeper understanding of the Cultivation Realm.

This era also introduced Tribulation Lightning, greatly increasing the difficulty.

Natural disasters and man-made calamities—they were both plentiful.

"I have no hope of condensing my Primordial Spirit ahead of time. I will definitely break through the bottleneck of the Spirit Transformation Cultivation Realm within a few decades."

However, it requires drawing upon sufficient Heaven-and-Earth Origin Power to condense a true Dharma Form.

One must at least reach a level of 20% in understanding the universe.

Records within the Heavenly Baleful Sect indicate that sect predecessors have attempted to achieve percentages of 10%, 12%, and even 15%.

Without exception, all attempts failed, and even the Tribulation Lightning only produced a loud bang.

The Tribulation Lightning is more like the final test for those who defy the heavens; it is absolutely a matter of life and death.

Moreover, once the attempt to break through to the Spirit Transformation begins, the commotion will be enormous, detectable even by Nascent Soul within a million miles.

Man-made disasters are equally arduous.

Without a deep foundation and a powerful force to withstand it, it's even more difficult than Tribulation Lightning.

Heavenly Baleful True Lord sighed softly, "It's difficult!"

Even though he considered himself the number one person in the world, he still lamented the difficulty of breaking through to the Spirit Transformation.

"Has Tianyu really been driven to this point by the Xu Household family?"

If he fails and suffers a severe blow, the Ascension Gate will likely become the first Dominant Faction in the world to be destroyed.

He walked along, stopping frequently to look around.

Void Clarity City is prosperous, but it is also rife with intrigue, exploitation, and powerful forces abusing their power.

Beneath any bright appearance, darkness inevitably breeds.

The righteous path is nothing but a joke.

Heavenly Baleful True Lord scoffed.

Void Clarity City.

Anyone who provoked him was instantly killed by him.

He even slaughtered the Guard Team directly under the Void Clarity City Lord's Manor without hesitation.

The city lord of Void Clarity City saw him from afar and was so frightened that he immediately fled and sent a message to the Void Clarity Sect.

A powerful cultivator at the Nascent Soul of the Demonic Path has entered the city.

Void Clarity Sect.

Zhenwu received the telepathic message and went there with True Lord Yuan Zhen.

Upon seeing the newcomer, True Lord Yuan Zhen's heart skipped a beat.

Why did he come to Southern Heaven?!

The streets were blocked off, and no one dared to approach.

The Heavenly Baleful True Lord sat quietly at the tea stall.

"They've arrived."

The Heavenly Baleful True Lord continued sipping his tea without even looking up.

True Lord Yuan Zhen clasped his hands and said, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Tiansha Sha. What brings you here to stroll around Southern Heaven?"

Unlike Xu Chuan, Heavenly Baleful True Lord almost always disguises himself when he goes outside.

He walked around with his true face on full display.

Ordinary Nascent Soul wouldn't recognize him, but Great Cultivator like Yuan Zhen would.

"Someone provoked True Lord, so I killed a few people in the process. Fellow Daoist Yuan Zhen, you don't mind, do you?"

"They've courted their own death. I will have people strictly forbidden from disturbing you, fellow Daoist."

"Fellow Daoist, please refrain from any reckless actions for the sake of my Void Clarity Sect."

Heavenly Baleful True Lord looked up and chuckled, "After all, this is Southern Heaven, so True Lord dare not act recklessly."

As long as no one bothers me, I won't stoop to the level of some ants.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist. May I ask what brings you to Southern Heaven this time?"

"After being in seclusion for so long, I've come to Southern Heaven for a visit. Surely you in Southern Heaven won't object?"

For a powerful figure like the Heavenly Baleful True Lord, there are few rules in the world that can restrain him.

If Southern Heaven wants to kill him, he will have to pay a heavy price.

They might not even be able to kill them.

"I understand. I will relay the news of Fellow Daoist Tiansha's arrival to the other sects. Please forgive me."

"Random."

As he spoke, Heavenly Baleful True Lord looked at Zhenwu.

"Is he a rising star of your Void Clarity Sect?"

"Junior Zhenwu Heavenly Baleful True Lord. May I ask how Fellow Xuan Sha is?"

"Do you know Xuan Sha?"

"I also participated in the last Heavenly Pride Gathering of Talents."

Which number?

"I was fortunate to be seventh, Xuan Sha ranked second. Compared to him, I am far inferior."

"It's quite a difference," said Heavenly Baleful True Lord. "I heard that the champion of the Heavenly Pride Gathering was a girl from the Xu Household."

"Phoenix Plume Fairy and Xuan Sha are evenly matched in strength."

"Compared to those two, you are indeed quite inferior. Let me tell you, Xuan Sha has already broken through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage."

Become the new leader of my Heavenly Baleful Sect!

Heavenly Baleful True Lord said calmly, "Fellow Yuan Zhen, if this boy is indeed the most outstanding person in your Void Clarity Sect..."

Then you're really going to be left out."

Both True Lord Yuan Zhen and Zhenwu were startled.

In the Southern Heaven, there is a Monstrous Prodigy like Xu Deling; now, a similar figure has appeared in the Blackwater Domain.

"Then congratulations, Fellow Daoist Tiansha." True Lord Yuan Zhen said, "However, in this world, temporary victory or defeat is nothing."

What do you think, fellow Daoist?

"If you were to say this to a junior Golden Core cultivator, it would be reasonable, but if you were to use it to Evaluation a Nascent Soul Heavenly Pride at the level of a Great Cultivator..."

Not qualified.

"With your current strength, you're probably no match for Xuan Sha."

True Lord Yuan Zhen was slightly annoyed, but he did not show it.

Not to mention him, even his senior brother Xu Yan would have to give way to the Heavenly Baleful True Lord.

Although they were all at the Nascent Soul Perfection, possessing Divine Ability Dharma Form Phantom, and even wielding a Spirit Treasure.

However, there are indeed gaps in our own capabilities.

For example, Divine Ability Power, Physical Body differences, compatibility with Spirit Treasure, the number of Divine Ability contained in the Dharma Form Divine Ability, etc.

Currently...

The Blackwater Domain Heavenly Baleful True Lord, the Old Man Myriad Souls, and the Netherworld True Lord are at the same level as Qingjun, Tianyu, and Zhang Fan from the Southern Heaven.

Then there are Xu Yan and Zhenchan.

Bai Wushang was ranked last, but he joined forces with the Yin Empress to perform Secret Art and used Spirit Treasure.

In fact, he has the ability to be in the top three.

However, this is a previous ranking.

With the rise of the Xu Household, the landscape of the Two Domains is constantly changing.

Xu Chuan has mastered a basic level of divine Greater Divine Ability and has condensed his Primordial Spirit, enabling him to draw upon the Power of Heaven and Earth and suppress the might of the heavens.

If he goes all out, he is undoubtedly the strongest person in Two Domains.

As for the others...

Once the Xu Household's Heavenly Pride have fully matured, they can replace Zhang Fan others.

"Xuan Sha, your ability to fight against Great Cultivator at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage naturally surpasses mine."

"He's quite patient, how boring."

Heavenly Baleful True Lord waved his hand and said, "Have True Lord leave. I'll stay a little longer before I depart."

True Lord Yuan Zhen nodded slightly, signaling that no one should disturb them.

In addition, he kept a close watch on Heavenly Baleful True Lord nearby and had Zhenwu relay the message to Xu Yan.

At the same time, it was also passed on to other Dominant Faction.

Half an incense stick later.

The Heavenly Baleful True Lord swaggered away from Void Clarity City, heading Northwest.

"They're finally gone."

True Lord Yuan Zhen watched him leave before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

Then they returned to the Void Clarity Sect and went to the cave abode of True Lord Xu Yan.

"Senior brother, what do you think is the purpose of the Tiansha Old Devil's visit to Southern Heaven?"

Should we contact the other fellow Daoists...?

9

True Lord Xu Yan looked over and said calmly, "Junior brother, don't be impulsive. Since Heavenly Baleful True Lord, he must have full confidence."

Moreover, killing him would be too difficult.

Even if he could, it shouldn't be difficult for him to take one or two fellow cultivators of the same realm with him before he dies.

Those who survived will certainly not have an easy time.

True Lord Yuan Zhen quickly calmed down, "Junior brother, I have learned my lesson. I was a bit impulsive."

"Since you've instructed Zhenwu to Wu Tong the other Dominant Faction, that's enough."

It would be difficult for our Void Clarity Sect to keep an eye on him on our own, but with the help of other forces, it shouldn't be a big problem.

As long as he doesn't wreak havoc in the Southern Heaven, he can travel freely.

"Junior brother understands."

In just half a day.

The other Dominant Faction all learned of the arrival of the Heavenly Baleful True Lord in Southern Heaven and even presented him with a portrait of his true appearance.

Azure Cloud Sect.

Mu Qingfeng and Qingjun also discussed this matter.

Qingjun said, "Have someone investigate the whereabouts of Heavenly Baleful True Lord. I'm going to test his strength."

"Yes, senior brother."

Thunderclap Temple remained closed, leaving only people to keep an eye on Tiansha.

The Ascension Gate didn't even bother with it.

The Sect-Protecting Grand Formation open to prevent them from spying on what's happening inside the sect.

Northwest, Mysterious Moon Sect.

"Why is this Old Devil coming to Southern Heaven at this time? Is he about to break through?"

The main hall atop Mysterious Moon Peak.

Zhang Fan looked at Zhang Pingchuan, "Do you know where he's planning to go?"

"I don't know. The Void Clarity Sect said he came to Southern Heaven for travel, but it's hard to say exactly where he'll go."

"The areas bordering the Eastern Region should be closely monitored. If he arrives, do not disturb him; report the news directly."

At the same time, do not reveal their identity.

"Yes, Ancestor," Zhang Pingchuan replied, cupping his hands in greeting.

"By the way, how is Daoran's seclusion going?"

"Senior brother has not yet emerged from seclusion."

Hopefully, he can break through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage soon.

On the other side.

The Yunxi Xu Household.

When the news reached Xu Chuan, he smiled faintly, "They've finally arrived."

Mingyuan, I'm entrusting Yunxi's affairs to you. I'm going out for a while.

"Father is going to intercept and kill the Heavenly Baleful True Lord?"

"Let's test his strength first and intercept him; the time isn't right yet."

"Then Father, please be careful."

Xu Chuan nodded, then transformed into a streak of green light, shooting straight into the sky.

He Teleportation Formation to Void Clarity City, and then used Heavenly Secrets to determine its whereabouts.

As the person who has gathered the most Fortune in the sect, and who also possesses Spirit Treasure, it is estimated that the Heavenly Baleful True Lord has consumed a considerable amount of energy.

It's almost on par with the Spirit Transformation stage.

However, without a method to shield Heavenly Secrets, escape is ultimately impossible.

Half an hour later.

Xu Chuan opened his eyes and said, "It seems he plans to travel all the way to the Northwest."

Looking for my Xu Household?

"In that case, it's not too late to intercept him later."

Xu Chuan found an inn in Void Clarity City to stay temporarily.

Several days later.

He left this place and went in pursuit of the Heavenly Baleful True Lord.

Then wait a thousand miles away in a certain Market District.

Half a day later.

A figure flew past quickly.

Xu Chuan suddenly took to the air, blocking his path.

Heavenly Baleful True Lord looked over, then frowned slightly.

Because he couldn't see through the other person's Cultivation Realm.

"Who are you, and why are you blocking my way?"

"The strongest expert in the Blackwater Domain, Heavenly Baleful True Lord, I wish to spar with you. Is that alright?"

"Judging from your attitude, it doesn't matter whether I reply or not."

There always needs to be a process.

"Snort!"

Heavenly Baleful True Lord snorted coldly and Hand Seals with one hand.

A massive surge of Sha Qi erupted, condensing into a gigantic black palm print sixty or seventy feet long, which slammed directly towards Xu Chuan.

"As expected of the strongest in the Blackwater Domain, his temper is indeed very volatile."

Xu Chuan spoke calmly, his body enveloped in black mist.

A thick aura of death permeated the black mist, and a pair of crimson eyes, as large as a door panel, appeared, accompanied by a hissing sound.

A nearly 100-foot-long black python slithered through the black mist.

The sunlight was dazzling, yet not a single ray could penetrate it.

The black palm print slammed into the black mist.

The black python swiftly coiled around the palm print, its Death Intent Erosion the Sha Qi.

After all, in terms of Badao, the intent to kill surpasses the Sha Qi.

"Death energy."

Superior Perfected Divine Ability was eroded and decomposed, the Heavenly Baleful True Lord remained unfazed and said, "The number of people in the world who cultivate this Divine Ability can be counted on one hand."

I've heard that a mysterious and powerful figure named Elder Nether Crow once appeared in my Blackwater Domain.

What he comprehended was the Death Intent Divine Ability.

Are you him?

"Heavenly Baleful True Lord is certainly direct, but do you think I'd tell you?"

Or rather, do you think I am that Elder Nether Crow?

"True Lord believe you are him."

The Heavenly Baleful True Lord said, "A powerful figure will not appear in the world without a reason."

Since you are here, it means that you yourself are from Southern Heaven.

I wonder which powerful figure you are from Southern Heaven, or perhaps some ancient relic!

"Fellow Daoist, please feel free to speculate, but you just now, when you made your move, you also received one of my attacks!"

Xu Chuan controlled the Black Python of Death to pounce on Heavenly Baleful True Lord.

The Heavenly Baleful True Lord. His attack had been easily broken, which clearly showed the difference in Divine Ability between the two sides.

Without hesitation, he activated the Dharma Form Phantom.

It was a True Demon Dharma Form, with Three Heads and Six Arms, looking fierce and menacing, but the face in the middle was identical to that of the Heavenly Baleful True Lord.

"Break!"

The Heavenly Baleful True Lord activated his illusory Dharma Form Phantom and unleashed the same palm strike.

This time, the black mist was dispersed, revealing the black python's body.

The Dharma Form Phantom can greatly amplify the Divine Ability Power, which is enough to contend with the Death Intent Black Python, which is comparable to Top Divine Ability.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The True Demon Dharma Form Phantom clashed repeatedly with the black python.

Ultimately, the black python of deathly intent was pulverized into countless streams of deathly energy, which quickly dissipated.

"I, the True Lord, would like to see what kind of true face you conceal beneath that aged facade!"

The True Demon Dharma Form Phantom actively initiates the attack.

Not only did he activate his Divine Ability, but he also produced three Law Treasure in his hands, all of which were Top-Tier Magic Treasure Eight-Pattern magical treasures.

A long spear, a long sword, and a large Great Seal.

They attacked with alternating Divine Ability and Law Treasure.

Xu Chuan dodged continuously, sometimes using Divine Ability to defend himself, and sometimes using death energy to erode him.

He blocked the full power of the Heavenly Baleful True Lord using only his Death Intent Divine Ability.

The Heavenly Baleful True Lord's eyes flickered as he considered whether or not to use his Spirit Treasure.

As for Xu Chuan, he thought to himself, "It's really a stretch to deal with a powerhouse like the Heavenly Baleful True Lord with the Death Intent Divine Ability alone."

We still need to have De Ling forge a suitable Top-Tier Magic Treasure; only then will it be possible to block his Spirit Treasure attack.

Thinking of this, Xu Chuan pretended to unleash a powerful attack before Heavenly Baleful True Lord could make a decision.

The deathly black mist enveloped an area spanning dozens of miles.

He concealed his presence and disappeared into the distance.

Heavenly Baleful True Lord was still waiting for Xu Chuan to attack, but after a short while, there was still no sign of the other party making a move.

"Not good!"

He immediately activated his Dharma Form Divine Ability, easily dispersing the deathly black mist that surrounded him.

But Xu Chuan was nowhere to be seen anywhere.

"Divine Ability extraordinary abilities and remarkable escape skills, who exactly is this person?"

Is it the Avatar of some ancient relic?

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Because of its Top Divine Ability, no one has truly comprehended it in a thousand years, although it is said that Xu Chuan has achieved it.

However, Xu Chuan's Top Divine Ability is widely known; it is the "Xiantian Withering-and-Blooming Finger" of the Void Clarity Sect.

What is his purpose in intercepting me this time?

Even with his Spirit Transformation Avatar and possession of Spirit Treasure, the Heavenly Baleful True Lord remains undaunted.

"It seems I'll have to contact Hundred Witherings Venerable when I get back."

The Heavenly Baleful True Lord set off again.

As for Xu Chuan, he left his Mystic Spirit Avatar to follow Heavenly Baleful True Lord from afar, while his true body returned to the Cave-Heaven and contacted Xu Deling.

A short while later.

Xu Deling entered the Cave-Heaven.

Grandfather, you were looking for me?

"De Ling, I would like to ask you to forge a Nine-Pattern Magic Treasure imbued with death energy. Is that possible?"

Xu Deling pondered for a moment and said, "Using Fifth Tier Netherworld Spirit Crystal as the core and Netherworld Ghostwood as the main material, it should be possible to refine it."

Unfortunately, the Essence Soul and Demon Core of the Netherworld Beast are gone.

Otherwise, refining it into Demon Spirit and integrating it as Artifact Spirit might enhance its power.

"We can't expect everything to be perfect; as long as we can successfully refine it, that's enough."

How many months will it take to complete?

"Refining Nine-Pattern Magic Treasure is troublesome; even with my current Talent, it will take me three to four months."

"Okay, here you go. These are the materials you need. Is there anything else you require?"

"I also have quite a few rare Fourth Tier materials, enough to refine it."

Xu Chuan nodded.

"My granddaughter will take her leave now."

After speaking, Xu Deling left the Cave-Heaven.

During her refining of the Law Treasure, the Heavenly Baleful True Lord traveled intermittently, eventually entering the Northwest region.

The Mysterious Moon Sect had long ago dispatched people to set up defenses in all directions.

They soon discovered the Heavenly Baleful True Lord.

Soon.

The news reached Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan pondered for a moment, then set off from the Mysterious Moon Sect, heading towards the location of the Heavenly Baleful True Lord.

A few days later, in a certain Market District.

Zhang Fan walked into a Restaurant and sat down opposite a burly middle-aged man.

The man looked up and said with a faint smile, "So those little insects are all disciples of your Mysterious Moon Sect."

"Mysterious Moon Fellow Daoist is so worried about me that you had to come all this way in person."
