Bring His Highness the Divine Son Home! The Destruction of the Xuanji Orthodoxy in the Ziwei Domain!

Divine Radiance gradually withdrew inward.

The surging emperor power slowly subsided.

Su Linxian looked around, his eyes flickering as he murmured softly.

"Let's give it a try."

He closed his hand around empty air.

Diya appeared in his grasp.

Su Linxian gripped the sword's hilt.

He neither gathered power nor invoked any laws.

He did not even look in the direction the sword tip pointed.

Tai'e Sword Art!

"Void Shatter!"

He merely swept the blade casually.

Without a sound.

In the next instant!

The chaos and deathly energy of nothingness within the forbidden zone vanished completely.

Riiip—

Before Su Linxian, a hazy white fissure tore open across the entire forbidden zone. Golden imperial laws surged from both sides of the fissure like two golden waterfalls hanging upside down from the highest heavens!

As though it had ripped through the two realm barriers separating the Ziwei Domain and the forbidden zone, countless torrents of spatial turbulence erupted from the fissure!

Outside the forbidden zone, the Star Sea stretching for hundreds of millions of miles across the Ziwei Domain exploded all at once.

Rumble!

Every cultivator looked up at the same time.

They saw the sword scar spanning the heavens and the golden laws churning along the fissure's edges.

Unable to help themselves, they dropped to their knees with thuds.

"What... mighty expert unleashed this divine ability?!"

"An Emperor! An Emperor must have made a move!"

"That seems to be... in the direction of the forbidden zone?!"

Many collapsed to the ground, breathing rapidly, their eyes filled with horror!

One sword strike!

Split the heavens!

Shattered the Star Sea!

Inside the forbidden zone.

"What terrifying power!"

Su Linxian gazed at the scene before him, his eyes brilliantly lit.

"This Tai'e Sword Art truly deserves its reputation as the foremost offensive divine ability in the Ziwei Domain."

"To think even the forbidden zone was torn apart by Sword Qi!"

After all.

Any Emperor Realm cultivation art.

Would require hundreds or thousands of years to comprehend to ultimate perfection, even for someone gifted with extraordinary talent!

Ancestor Tai'a and Quasi-Emperor Chiyang had cultivated bitterly for ten thousand years, yet had only barely brought their arts to full mastery.

But Su Linxian now possessed.

Peak emperor realm cultivation!

Two Emperor Realm divine abilities perfected to their utmost!

And an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon to protect him!

Only now did he truly possess peak Emperor Realm combat strength!

Su Linxian sensed that if he faced them again.

With his present strength, he would not even need to lift a hand.

That single wisp of Tai'e sword intent alone would be enough to shake those thirteen Quasi-Emperor experts to death!

Just then.

Space rippled before him, and a crystal-clear drop of intensely crimson Divine Blood appeared.

"Hm?"

"This is..."

The drop of Divine Blood that had suddenly appeared exuded an utterly violent aura. Though only a single drop, it contained tremendous force, and it abruptly burst forth, unleashing an immensely powerful wave of air!

Though it held an aura capable of destroying heaven and earth, it did not inflict even the slightest damage on its surroundings!

Su Linxian said, "What a terrifying aura!"

"What is this?"

[Ding...]

[Divine Emperor-level method detected: reversal divine ability!]

[Bloodline Tracing!]

Bloodline Tracing?!

Su Linxian pondered for a moment, considering it.

"Then it seems..."

"This drop of blood must be something my lineage sent?"

Su Linxian said, "I killed those thirteen Quasi-Emperors. Since the forces behind them cannot find me, they will presumably head to the Tianxuan Orthodoxy to demand an explanation..."

"My most urgent task is to return to the Tianxuan Orthodoxy as quickly as possible!"

The Sage Emperor Dao Domain.

Within the Su Family, an Emperor Clan.

Deep inside the eternal imperial palace floating atop the highest heavens, an ancient mirror cast from Grand Void Divine Jade suddenly began trembling wildly!

Buzzz!!!

The Grand Void Mirror erupted with dazzling golden light, and a blurred figure appeared within its radiance.

Though the figure was utterly indistinct.

The bloodline resonance that erupted in that instant sent a violent shock through the hearts of every member of the Su Family!

Grand Elder Su Hong was the first to rush into the hall, his aged face filled with disbelief.

"Patriarch!! The Grand Void Mirror has sensed His Highness the Divine Son's aura!!"

"Ten thousand years!"

"Ten thousand years!! The Divine Blood has finally responded!"

"We must inform His Lordship the Divine Emperor of this as soon as possible!"

Shenyue Su's beautiful eyes flickered, and astonishment surged through his heart as well.

"Calm yourself."

She stared fixedly at the blurred figure within the Grand Void Mirror and murmured.

"The same bloodline... it truly is the Divine Son's aura..."

"To think His Highness the Divine Son is still alive!"

Su Hong said urgently, "Patriarch, what are you still hesitating over?!"

"Ten thousand years!"

"Back when turmoil swept the heavens and the cosmos, His Lordship the Divine Emperor personally sealed His Highness, who was still an infant in swaddling clothes, within a primordial divine source. Yet an accident caused both the primordial divine source and His Highness the Divine Son to vanish without a trace!"

"How many Dao Domains has our Su Family slaughtered through? How many great clans have we wiped out!"

"Yet there has never been any word of His Highness the Divine Son!"

"Today, the Grand Void Mirror has lit up, and the Divine Blood has responded. That person must undoubtedly be His Highness the Divine Son!"

Shenyue Su spoke softly.

"Ten thousand years ago... His Highness the Divine Son was only an infant when he was sealed within the Primordial Divine Source..."

"Even if he is alive, his cultivation is probably not high..."

"After all, with the Divine Source's seal broken and no nourishment from the Su Family bloodline, how could he have grown?"

"Pass down my command," Shenyue Su said, his voice brooking no doubt.

"Have Su You lead our Su Family's Shadow Guard to the Ziwei Domain in the Middle Heaven."

He took a step forward.

An Emperor's might flooded the entire hall like a river of stars pouring down from the heavens.

"Bring His Highness the Divine Son."

"Home!"

The Tianxuan Orthodoxy.

Once an immortal paradise, it was now mountains of corpses and a sea of blood.

Boom! Boom! ...

The sect gates had shattered into dust, leaving not even a single intact fragment of rubble.

Countless corpses of Tianxuan disciples lay piled atop one another on the training grounds, forming mountains!

The sect master's corpse hung there, a rope cutting into his neck. Blood dripped from his toes, drop by drop, gathering into a small dark-red pool on the ground.

The Tianxuan Ancestor knelt in the center of the ruins.

"Cough, cough..."

He was covered in blood and filth, his white hair disheveled. His once-straight back had bent, and his breathing was so faint it had almost ceased.

"You thirteen forces are, after all, prominent powers in the Ziwei Domain..."

"Yet merely because a disciple of our orthodoxy obtained a treasure, you committed this atrocity and destroyed our sect..."

At this point.

A soul-piercing gleam shot from the Tianxuan Ancestor's eyes as he spoke icily.

"If word of this spreads, do you not fear the world's ridicule?!"

Above him.

Thirteen figures hovered high in the heavens.

Laws churned around each Quasi-Emperor, their pressure bearing down like something tangible, crushing the ruins of the Tianxuan Orthodoxy so thoroughly that not even a breath of wind could enter.

Their leader was the sect master of the Tai'e Sword Sect.

Li Hentian stood with his hands behind his back, his features austere, his gaze indifferent as though looking down upon ants.

He spoke slowly.

"Tianxuan Ancestor."

"The Quasi-Emperors of our thirteen forces died pursuing your sect's Dao Son. Your Tianxuan Divine Sect must naturally answer for this!"

"Absurd!" an elder of the Tianxuan Divine Sect roared furiously.

"Our sect's Dao Son was only in the Supreme Realm!"

"Your orthodoxies are great sects of the Ziwei Domain. It was bad enough that a pack of Quasi-Emperor experts bullied and hunted down a junior!"

"Now that they have all died for some unknown reason, do you mean to blame that on our Xuanji Divine Sect too?!"

The deaths of thirteen Quasi-Emperors were no small matter.

Though he, too, knew Su Linxian could not possibly have done it.

Ultimately, this affair still needed an outlet for their rage.

Li Hentian said coldly.

"Su Linxian."

"The Quasi-Emperors of our thirteen forces died because of you..."

"Today, we shall first destroy the sect behind you, the Tianxuan Orthodoxy, as a warning to others."

"Another day!"

"We shall reduce you to ash!"

His voice was amplified by a divine ability, thunderously loud, like a heavenly god pronouncing judgment. In an instant, it echoed throughout the entire Ziwei Domain.

"Everyone, attack!"
