The Heaven-Destined Protagonist Was Scared Pissless, and the Heavenly Dao Eye Spoke!!

Mu Chiyu's body shattered into dozens of golden fragments in the void.

But those fragments drifted for only half a breath.

Golden light poured from deep within each fragment, like countless invisible threads pulling them back together, joining them, and healing them.

The immortal dao embryo body.

One of the oldest physiques in existence, it was said that as long as the soul endured, the body would never perish.

As long as a single breath remained in the soul, the body could be reborn without limit.

Within mere breaths, Mu Chiyu's body reformed, whole and unblemished.

The golden divine light surrounding her was even more dazzling than before.

"Again."

She spoke coldly, forming seals with both hands as the Primordial Imperial Court's divine art gathered once more.

Golden Dao laws surged in her palms, becoming a pillar of light that spanned heaven and earth and crashed down toward Su Linxian.

That divine art contained the ancient power of changing epochs, as though it would drag the entire world into reincarnation.

Su Linxian watched the golden pillar hurtle toward him, the corners of his lips lifting slightly.

"Now that's a little more interesting."

He lowered a finger.

Sword intent woven from dark crimson and dark gold soared into the sky, colliding thunderously with the golden pillar in the void.

"BOOM—!!!"

The entire Dao domain exploded.

A hundred-thousand-foot rift tore open in the sky, countless abysses split the earth, mountains and rivers surged backward, and the void shattered.

The surrounding elders of the Divine Sun Sect were all driven back by the shock waves, vomiting blood.

"Pfft!"

"What terrifying power..."

Beneath the sword intent, the golden pillar shattered into a skyful of glittering motes.

The lingering sword intent swept across Mu Chiyu's body, leaving a deep sword wound that exposed her golden bones.

As though she could not feel pain, she charged again, her golden divine arts growing fiercer and faster.

This divine maiden of the Imperial Court...

Her cultivation was only at the early Emperor Realm, yet her combat strength was no weaker than that of a peak Emperor Realm cultivator.

Her Ancient Immortal Divine Arts bridged the gap in cultivation, while her immortal dao embryo body gave her the means to be reborn endlessly.

Against any other opponent, even a peak Emperor Realm existence, this relentless attrition would have worn them to death.

But he was different.

Su Linxian spoke indifferently.

"I'd like to see just how many times the origin of your divine physique can restore you..."

A hum rang out.

Heavenly Prison Art.

An invisible ripple of laws spread outward, blanketing the entire sky.

Countless fine golden chains burst from the void.

Mu Chiyu's body abruptly stiffened.

Dozens of golden chains poured forth, each as thick as an arm, their surfaces coursing with densely packed ancient Dao markings.

The chains closed in on Mu Chiyu from every direction, forming a spherical golden cage that imprisoned her in midair.

Then.

The surrounding chains abruptly contracted.

Their power compressed, then exploded!!

"BANG!!"

Golden light burst within the chains, and Mu Chiyu's body was crushed into a skyful of fragments once again!

Blood mist spread, and golden bone shards flew everywhere!

The fragments struggled to reassemble in the void, but the golden chains still sealed that space tight, pinning every fragment in place!!

"Pfft—!"

Mu Chiyu's soul swayed in midair, violently shaken!

She tried to reconstruct her body again, but the Heavenly Prison Art held the fragments so tightly that she could not find even the slightest opening.

"Hiss—"

Luo Wutian's pupils trembled violently.

The three city lords behind him also sucked in cold breaths.

"Too brutal..."

Someone murmured, his voice so dry it was barely recognizable.

"He's destroyed her body three times in a row!"

"The Divine Son really... doesn't show a shred of tenderness toward a beautiful woman!"

"Who exactly is that woman? Why does she know so many primordial immortal arts?!"

Su Linxian said, "Still struggling?"

"Bastard!!" Yang Kong's eyes were blood-red.

Watching Mu Chiyu's soul imprisoned by golden chains in midair felt as though someone were carving out his heart, slice by slice.

When he had obtained the crystal coffin and the slaughter divine law all those years ago, he had fallen in love with the woman sleeping inside at first sight!

He had painstakingly gathered spirit stones for decades, all to revive her!

"Stop right now!!"

Yang Kong roared, bloody baleful energy surging wildly around him as he charged toward Su Linxian.

"Stop, you wretch!"

Just then, an aged, decaying voice came from deep within the Divine Sun Sect.

A withered hand immediately reached out from the void and pressed down on Yang Kong's shoulder with unerring precision.

"RUMBLE!"

That palm drove Yang Kong downward, sending him crashing onto his knees with a bang.

A figure walked slowly out from the depths of the Divine Sun Sect.

He was an old man with snow-white hair and beard, a hunched frame, and shriveled skin, his entire body wreathed in dense death energy.

His aura was decayed and weak, like a dying candle that might go out at any moment.

Yet this old man, who looked ready to be buried, made everyone's pupils contract.

"Saint Sun Ancestor?!"

"He's actually still alive!"

The pupils of the Great Emperor of the Hong Family's soul narrowed.

"Divine Son, this man is the founding Dao Ancestor of the Divine Sun Sect. The sect was once merely a second-tier power. It was his emergence that elevated it into a supreme orthodoxy!"

Saint Sun Ancestor reached Su Linxian in a single step and respectfully bowed with cupped hands.

"Imperial Scion."

His voice was hoarse and aged.

"This was entirely our Divine Sun Sect's fault. We failed to discipline our disciples."

"I am willing to offer a precious treasure in exchange for the Imperial Scion sparing this child."

Without the slightest hesitation, he turned his withered hand over as he spoke.

A hum rang out.

An incomplete origin appeared in his palm.

The origin was grayish-white throughout, with misty miasma flowing within it, like the first wisp of chaos at the birth of heaven and earth.

The instant it appeared, the aura of the entire world changed.

A boom rang out.

Spiritual energy across ten thousand miles surged madly toward the origin, like subjects paying homage to their sovereign.

Hm?

Deep within Su Linxian's sea of consciousness, the Primordial True Beast Embryo abruptly stirred.

The embryo rolled wildly, radiating craving, like a savage beast that had starved for countless epochs finally catching the scent of flesh and blood.

The expressions of Luo Wutian and the others changed dramatically. "What is that?"

This thing... can actually stir the embryo?

Su Linxian looked over.

[Primordial True Beast · Incomplete taiyi true beast origin]

[Taiyi Void Beast, the first wisp of misty miasma in existence. Can accelerate the hatching of the True Beast Embryo and grant insight into the Taiyi Void Beast's innate divine art.]

Every strand of misty miasma flowing over that origin seemed like a miniature world being born and destroyed.

Su Linxian could sense it.

The power contained within that origin far surpassed the ordinary Emperor Realm, and its level of existence was several times higher than that of the forbidden-zone creature, Dao Qiniu.

"Where did you obtain this?"

Saint Sun Ancestor bowed slightly, his voice hoarse.

"Divine Son..."

"My talent was unremarkable. Back when I was in the quasi-emperor realm and had little time left, I ventured into the Life Forbidden Zone, Everlasting Yin Mountain, in search of a Longevity Elixir. I survived by the narrowest margin to obtain this."

"This object is extraordinary. Through it, I once gained insight into the Great Void True Method and broke through to the emperor realm. Even now, I cannot fathom it."

Everlasting Mountain...

He dared enter a Life Forbidden Zone in the quasi-emperor realm. Quite a character.

Su Linxian nodded slightly.

"This is good. I'll accept it."

He took the origin into his palm. Misty miasma curled around his fingers for an instant before dissipating completely.

"What do you want?"

Saint Sun Ancestor hurriedly cupped his hands, his voice growing even more respectful.

"I ask for nothing."

He turned to glance at Yang Kong, whom he was still pinning in place, and a complicated look flashed through his clouded old eyes.

"I only beg Your Highness to spare this boy's life. His ancestor was an old friend of mine, and he is that friend's sole surviving descendant."

Su Linxian narrowed his eyes and looked at Yang Kong.

He had extracted this Heaven-Destined Protagonist's slaughter divine law and left him buried in debt.

Yet now, someone like Saint Sun Ancestor had come forward to protect him.

It seemed this fellow still had other opportunities awaiting him...

"That's too much," Su Linxian said.

Saint Sun Ancestor shuddered.

"Divine Son..."

He thought His Highness was still displeased.

Zeng Kuxuan's soul trembled in midair, and the elders' faces all turned ashen.

Their hatred deepened.

"Yang Kong! You beast!"

"If you hadn't offended the Divine Son, why would our Divine Sun Sect have suffered such a calamity?"

But in the next instant.

Su Linxian spoke indifferently.

"This object's value far exceeds even ten of his lives."

"Take these."

A streak of light flashed past.

Three pills appeared, their surfaces shimmering with golden halos.

Those three pills were wreathed in life energy so incredibly dense that it seemed as though the vitality of an entire world had been compressed into mere inches.

What astonishing vitality!

Saint Sun Ancestor's pupils abruptly contracted.

His breathing grew rapid and ragged, and even his voice trembled.

"These are... Saint Origin Pills?!"

Saint Origin Pills!

Supreme pills refined with a Longevity Elixir as their principal ingredient, each capable of extending one's lifespan by ten thousand years!

For an old monster like him, whose lifespan was nearly spent and who already had one foot in the coffin, these three pills were no less than the gift of a second life!

"I am fair in reward and punishment."

Su Linxian spoke calmly.

"I see that your lifespan is nearly exhausted. These may be of some use."

At that, Su Linxian paused, his gaze sweeping across everyone present.

"The Divine Sun Sect will restore the Great Emperor of the Hong Family's body and compensate the sacred Hong Family and Blood Cliff City. Then this matter will be settled."

As soon as those words fell.

"Th-this..."

The souls of the Divine Sun Sect's elders trembled all over with excitement. They prostrated themselves, their heads pounding the ground like pestles pounding garlic.

"The Divine Son is wise and just!"

"Thank you for your mercy, Divine Son!"

Zeng Kuxuan's soul bowed deeply in midair, his voice choked with emotion.

"We... thank you, Divine Son!"

"Hmph." The Great Emperor of the Hong Family snorted coldly.

"You got off lightly."

Everyone was satisfied with this decision.

Everyone except Yang Kong.

He knelt on the ground, his eyes blood-red and his clenched teeth grinding.

"Enough!"

Yang Kong abruptly raised his head and stared fixedly at that white-robed figure, roaring.

"Divine Son of the Su Family! You were the one who schemed against me! If I don't avenge this grudge, I, Yang Kong, swear I'm not human!"

"Yang Kong, shut your mouth!"

Saint Sun Ancestor shouted furiously, turning to strike him with his palm.

"It's fine."

Su Linxian spoke.

He cast Yang Kong a glance.

It was an utterly indifferent glance.

He looked down from above, his expression perfectly calm.

His gaze was like that of someone looking at an ant.

He said not a word.

Yet that single glance was enough.

Boom!

It was as though an immense terror had enveloped him.

Yang Kong's pupils abruptly dilated, reflecting that white-robed figure.

In his eyes, the supremely exalted, unattainable figure in the sky grew boundlessly larger, like a blazing sun overhead, like an ancient deity looking down upon all living beings.

It swallowed his entire field of vision!

Terror!

Overwhelming terror drowned him like a surging tide.

That terror sank into his marrow and etched itself into his soul, like the instinctive shudder an ant felt when gazing up at the heavens!

"Gulp..."

A barely audible swallowing sound rang out.

An existence like this...

Could I really...

Yang Kong trembled violently, his teeth chattering, unable to utter even a complete sentence.

Liquid flowed from his crotch.

His knees went weak, and it was as though every bone had been stripped from his body.

A lofty Heaven-Destined Protagonist...

Had actually wet himself in fear from a single glance!

[Ding! Yang Kong's Dao heart has collapsed, and his soul trembles in fear. He has lost the title of Heaven-Destined Protagonist!]

[Congratulations, Master! You have obtained 200,000 Villain Points!]

Su Linxian gave a mocking smile and withdrew his gaze.

"Let's go."

He turned and walked into the void.

Saint Sun Ancestor hurriedly spoke.

"Divine Son, if you study this object, remember never to release its restraining seals!"

"This object is extraordinary. Once its seals are broken, it will summon a Heavenly Dao lightning tribulation!"

Su Linxian nodded slightly.

"Mm."

He turned to glance at the ancient divine maiden Mu Chiyu, who remained imprisoned in midair by golden chains.

In just a short time, her new body had already almost fully recovered.

"Bring her along too."

In the void, aboard the Spirit Boat.

The Great Unity Primordial Origin and the Primordial True Beast Embryo floated before him.

Strands of golden law seals did indeed encircle that grayish-white origin.

Those laws were as fine as hair, yet they exuded an ancient aura that transcended the Emperor Realm.

Behind him.

Yu Yao crouched before Mu Chiyu, whose cultivation had been sealed, propping her face in her hands as she asked with a smile.

"Tell me, why did you have to go against my master when everything was perfectly fine?"

"Who are you?"

Mu Chiyu glanced at her and spoke calmly.

"To think there are still Heavenly Gold Dragon Carp in this age..."

Yu Yao raised an eyebrow. "You recognize me?"

Mu Chiyu said, "The imperial court once raised them for food. Eating an Emperor Realm Dragon Carp was greatly beneficial."

Yu Yao's eyes widened, and she gnashed her teeth in anger!

"You wretch!"

"I'll beat you to death!"

Luo Wutian and the others followed far behind the Spirit Boat.

Even at such a great distance, they could still feel the terrifying aura of the Primordial True Beast, and fear showed on their faces.

"What is that thing... why does it frighten me so much?"

"I don't know... just one glance makes my soul tremble..."

The Great Unity Void Beast Origin was intensely hot.

"A seal..."

Su Linxian extended his hand.

He lightly crushed the restraining seals on that origin.

Crack—

An exceedingly faint snapping sound rang out.

The instant the seals shattered.

The void surged violently.

Endless ominous energy poured out of the void, and grayish-white miasma filled heaven and earth.

Rumble—

Lightning flashed and thunder roared through the vast void. Space tore apart, and an indescribably enormous Heavenly Dao Eye slowly emerged from its depths.

That eye was blood-red throughout.

Its pupil held not a trace of emotion, only utter indifference.

The Heavenly Dao Eye.

The enormous eye slowly turned, its gaze settling on the Great Unity Primordial Origin.

Boom!

Endless divine lightning exploded, and killing intent poured down like a tide.

It was as though this object should not exist in the world.

"Holy shit!"

"What's happening?!"

The surrounding void churned. Luo Wutian and the others swayed unsteadily, while behind them, the three city lords and dozens of Quasi-Emperor cultivators blanched as though facing a formidable enemy!

"A Heavenly Dao Eye?! City Lord, it's a Heavenly Dao Eye!"

"What exactly is that lord doing?!"

The Heavenly Dao Eye held a Great Dao Thunder Pool within its pupil, containing countless bolts of divine lightning. It was the world's ultimate lightning punishment, allowing nothing beyond the rules to exist!

Even a single strand of its divine light was enough to annihilate every living being in an entire Dao domain!

Yu Yao's hair stood on end. "What is Master doing?"

Mu Chiyu stared intently at Su Linxian's figure ahead, her beautiful eyes flickering, her thoughts unreadable.

Rumble—

Su Linxian raised his head and glanced at that enormous Heavenly Dao Eye.

"Did this Primordial True Beast origin draw you here..."

"Scram."

One word.

It exploded through the void like a bolt of heavenly thunder.

Drawn by his voice, the Heavenly Dao Eye shifted its gaze from the Great Unity Primordial Origin and slowly turned toward Su Linxian.

There was still not a trace of emotion in its pupil.

Riiip—

In the next instant, countless pairs of eyes opened simultaneously in the depths of the void.

They covered the entire sky in a dense mass!

Some of those Heavenly Dao Eyes were as enormous as the sun and moon, while others were as small as stars... every pair radiated an utterly terrifying aura, and all their gazes focused on the same figure.

A cold, rigid voice rang out from the vast void.

"This object..."

"Should not exist."

Those words seemed to emerge from countless mouths at once, overlapping into a mighty wave of sound that echoed throughout the void.

The Heavenly Dao Eye...

Had spoken?!

Luo Wutian and the others felt as though they had been struck by lightning, their minds buzzing.

They froze in place, their breathing rapid, their faces filled with horror and disbelief!

"C-City Lord, the... the Heavenly Dao Eye... spoke..."

"How is that possible... that's absolutely impossible..."

"No ancient text has ever recorded... a Heavenly Dao Eye speaking..."

The Heavenly Dao Eye had spoken!

They had lived for tens of thousands of years, witnessed countless strange occurrences, and heard countless ancient legends.

Yet they had never heard of a Heavenly Dao Eye speaking!

The scene before them ground everything they had learned over their lifetimes into dust!

Mu Chiyu said indifferently, "The Heavenly Dao Eye is not devoid of consciousness."

"It is simply that no one has ever been worthy of making it speak."

Su Linxian's expression remained calm.

He slowly raised his right hand.

Hum.

Vast, boundless, terrifying Emperor Power gathered in his hand, and the raging lightning around him seemed to freeze.

Divine laws wreathed Su Linxian's body.

He spoke with utter indifference.

"This Emperor will say it one last time."

"Scram."
