But by now, it was too late to think of retreating.
Nie Yun narrowed his eyes, and a flame ignited in his palm.
"No..."
The flames instantly engulfed Elder Bei Xu, drawing out a miserable shriek.
The shriek lasted for a while before gradually fading. A Stealing Heaven Borrowing Life Realm expert turned to ash.
With a thud, something resembling a book fell to the ground.
"There really is one!"
Joy appeared on Nie Yun's face.
Generally, old monsters who had lived for who knew how many years would record the Great Daos they had cultivated throughout their lives, creating a book of insights like the Soaring Heaven Flute Score. Nie Yun had not been certain before, but after burning him to ashes with flames, he had indeed found such an item.
This thing fused into the body and could only appear after death. Most experts hoped that someone would inherit their legacy after they died, and it seemed Elder Bei Xu was no exception.
"Refine!"
With a thought, Nie Yun drew the book into his body and refined it in the blink of an eye.
In an instant, he gained astonishing understanding and insight into the Lightning Great Dao.
"Elder Bei Xu... was killed in one move?"
Eternal Emperor, standing to one side, nearly fainted.
Before Elder Bei Xu arrived, he had believed himself to be the strongest person in the world. Only after the old man came did he realize he had been like a frog at the bottom of a well. Elder Bei Xu's strength had surpassed all his imagination!
He had thought Bei Chen might be the strongest, but only now did he realize how childish that thought had been.
This youth, who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen, was the most terrifying of them
