True Lord Xuanwu was furious, but in the end he still fled in disgrace.
He shouldn't be here, because Qingchen's method of severing cultivation was simply too terrifying.
He had encountered at least a handful of Nascent Soul True Lord level cultivators, but none of them had ever been able to suppress him with a mere wave of their hand, or even sever sixty years of his cultivation like the person before him!
Sixty years!
That's a full sixty years!
Life doesn't offer so many sixty-year cycles... Well, he's Nascent Soul True Lord, with a lifespan exceeding a thousand years, yet he's only accumulated a mere sixty years of hard work.
Qingchen still had some concerns about the Arrayed Mystery Sect.
Now let's talk about this True Lord Xuanwu.
He couldn't win a fight.
This is someone else's home turf again...
What else can be said?
He didn't dare utter a single harsh word. He piloted the white jade flying boat, transformed into a streak of crimson light, and vanished into the horizon in the blink of an eye, completely ignoring the mournful cries of the Golden Core True Person from the Spring-Extinguishing Alliance below.
Only after leaving Jing Kingdom did the five-colored halo around him gradually dim and eventually disappear without a trace. Only then did the familiar Law Power unique to the Nascent Soul level slowly rise within his body.
True Lord Xuanwu cursed a few times, but his face turned pale, and he felt his cultivation level was about to collapse. He was so frightened that he hurriedly fled even faster, hoping to find a good place to quickly stabilize his cultivation!
Jing Kingdom, Ling Province, Mountain Pass City.
The vast expanse of water filled the sky, with five-colored streams of light emerging from it, like a sky full of flowing clouds falling down. Centered on the True Lord Qingchen, who was dressed in the stars and moon, the light spread out in all directions, stretching all the way to the farthest reaches of the world.
High Person Jinke Jin Yuanxi, felt a chill in his heart.
He had harbored a grudge against this person for centuries; how could he not recognize such tactics?
There's no escaping it...
The entire Mountain Pass City has been drawn into Qingchen's realm.
Unless they are both at the Nascent Soul... oh no, even if they are at the Nascent Soul, they might not be able to break free.
Qingchen wasn't in a hurry.
They simply watched silently as the chaos unfolded in Mountain Pass City below.
The low-level cultivators of the Spring-Extinguishing Alliance were completely panicked. Streams of light and flying magic Law Artifact flew towards the rear, but they could not escape. They could only circle in the sky full of five-colored clouds and eventually turn back.
A chorus of cries of sorrow filled the air.
Let's look at the group of Golden Core True Person.
Huinan closed his eyes in anguish, clasped his hands together, chanted a Buddhist prayer, and sighed softly, "Amitabha... A single wrong thought led to this calamity."
He opened his eyes, gazing at the figure in green robes in mid-air. His eyes held no resentment, only calm, and his tone carried a hint of pleading, " True Lord Qingchen, the Great Buddha Temple surrenders."
" The Immortal Dao values life. We beg the True Lord to have mercy and spare the ordinary monks in my temple who did not participate in this battle. Do not implicate the innocent."
Qingchen glanced down at him.
"Anyone who participates in this battle shall commit suicide on the spot."
" The Great Buddha Temple is dissolved from this day forward. Sha Province returns to my Jade Spring Sect. The origin of your lineage lies in the Yuan Kingdom."
"Once you leave Jing Kingdom, my Jade Spring Sect will no longer pursue the matter."
The only Golden Core True Person in the Great Buddha Temple, a Buddhist practitioner at the Middle Golden Core Stage, suddenly emitted a dazzling Buddhist light.
Everyone present was horrified.
True Person Lingguang of the Spirit-Seeking Sect exclaimed in shock, " This Huinan... Are you serious?"
Huinan ignored his words. The brilliant Buddhist light gradually transformed into golden flames, which ignited from the hem of his robe and spread all the way to his Golden Core elixir body.
He completely abandoned his defenses, allowing the backlash of the Buddhist fire to consume him. Meanwhile, golden flames also ignited on the bodies of many Buddhist cultivators in Mountain Pass City. They were not afraid, but instead sat cross-legged on the spot and began to chant Buddhist scriptures.
The sound of chanting rose from the top of Mountain Pass City, carrying a sense of compassion and peace, which contrasted sharply with the solemn atmosphere around them.
Chen Shuangbai watched this scene with little admiration, only disgust.
This is the power of religion!
They've been blinded by their true nature, surrendering their lives entirely to those in power... their influence is truly inexhaustible.
As the physical body gradually dissipated into nothingness, the chanting emanating from Huinan's mouth grew ever louder, until finally only one sentence remained—
"May the True Lord be merciful; I urge you to keep your promise!"
The golden Buddhist flames gradually died down, First Seat Huinan, along with the hundreds of monks from the Great Buddha Temple behind him, all turned into specks of golden dust, drifting away with the wind and disappearing into the world.
The rest were the followers of the Great Buddha Temple in Sha Province.
Those were all Rogue Cultivator... not true disciples of the Great Buddha Temple.
A deathly silence reigned atop Mountain Pass City.
Many of the lower-level cultivators from the Spring-Extinguishing Alliance showed confusion and fear in their eyes at this moment.
Pat pat pat!
All that could be heard were continuous cries of surrender and pleas from all over the mountains and fields.
With just one sentence, the abbot of the Great Buddha Temple, Middle Golden Core Stage Huinan, was driven to suicide, and along with him, all the disciples of the Great Buddha Temple in Mountain Pass City also committed suicide.
The might of the True Lord!
Terrifying!
Jin Yuanxi's face was ashen, her lips trembled, but she couldn't utter a single word.
The True Person Lingguang beside him was trembling all over, his eyes filled with despair.
The True Person Xuanguang kept their head down, making their expression impossible to see.
The Wang Household's True Person Wang then cupped his hands in a respectful bow, prostrated himself before Qingchen, and performed the grandest kowtow, saying, " The Wang Household Spirit-Seeking Sect is willing to surrender!"
boom!
A deafening roar!
A golden radiance emanated from Jin Yuanxi, followed by a great earthquake. Strands of yellow energy rose from the ground, transforming into the ferocious appearance of a serpent, which roared to the sky and attacked Qingchen.
Even now, he still dreams of escaping alive.
Qingchen was not surprised. With a thought, the five-colored clouds in the sky transformed into streaks of five-colored ribbons that stretched down from the sky and strangled the Teng Snake.
"A hundred years ago, you were only at the Half-Step Nascent Soul stage, no match for me."
"Now I am a true Nascent Soul, while you are merely False Nascent Soul... Jin Yuanxi, Jin Yuanxi, how did you end up like this?"
Jin Yuanxi was initially terrified, but upon hearing Qingchen's mockery, the fear in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by an unprecedented resolve. Earth-gold Divine Ability light gathered on his body, and a vast earth elemental power rose from the earth, clinging to his feet and transforming into streaks of yellow gas, resembling snakes and dragons, roaring towards the sky.
His eyes were filled with an unyielding hatred.
" Ling Qingque, even if I die!"
"I won't subdue you!"
That's all.
The golden-yellow Divine Ability light surrounding Jin Yuanxi suddenly surged, and he seemed to transform into a yellowish-brown sun, dyeing the surrounding area for miles around a dim yellow.
"Ancestor!"
True Person Lingguang cried out in alarm, his face filled with terror.
He wanted to stop it, but he couldn't.
Above the sky.
The handsome Daoist opened his peach blossom eyes, his pupils gleaming with a deep blue, yet containing five colors deep within, unfathomable and captivating.
"At least you have some backbone."
"Then I'll leave you with a whole corpse."
The five-colored clouds danced in the sky, as if thousands of five-colored rays of light were converging and respectfully clinging to the feet of the handsome Daoist, affectionately touching the hem of his robe as if trying to please him, and finally melting into a Five-Colored Divine Light.
Divine light danced, descending from the sky and annihilating the earthen-yellow sun.
Jin Yuanxi, the False Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Spirit-Seeking Sect.
And so it came to an end.
