Bathed in Purple Blood! Husband and Wife in Name, Yet Every Inch a Married Woman!
The system notification had just faded.
In an instant.
Lu Qingyun's mind became incomparably clear, everything from his past flashing through it.
Within his body, divine power circulated on its own.
The endless mysteries of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass Precious Technique, engraved into his instincts, slowly unfolded like a sealed scroll, revealing themselves in full before Lu Qingyun's eyes.
Wisps of supreme Sword Qi unconsciously flowed out of his body.
Each wisp could slash through every star!
With the blessing of Heaven-Defying Comprehension, Lu Qingyun entered a state of sudden enlightenment.
His chaos Dao Fruit, already at perfection.
Once again extended into boundless profundities, Chaos Qi circulating as though opening up an entire world anew!
Years went uncounted in cultivation.
Plants flourished and withered; the sun and moon traded places.
From the day Heavenly Venerable Taiyi entered the Immortal Court, not the slightest disturbance emerged from within.
No battle at the pinnacle of the Dao took place.
Nor did heavenly phenomena heralding a Heavenly Venerable's fall thunder through the world.
In other words... Heavenly Venerable Taiyi had truly succeeded in sealing himself within the Immortal Court Forbidden Land!
From then on, he became one of the hidden reserves within the Immortal Court Forbidden Land!
Before this, quite a few people had not regarded the Immortal Court as a forbidden land, believing it was merely a passing whim of Lu Qingyun's.
But from this moment onward!
A Heavenly Venerable had taken up residence!
Sealing himself within!
Its status as a forbidden land was firmly established!
For a time, everyone wore complicated expressions.
For from this day onward, another great forbidden zone had been added to the universe's eight forbidden zones!
Like a sharp sword suspended over the heads of all living beings, it looked down upon them, ready to fall at any moment and reap everything!
"No!!"
"How could I fall at the hands of a newly risen Great Accomplishment Sacred Body like you!"
"I once bathed in the crimson blood of Sacred Bodies and sat watching the cosmos for ten thousand years. As a Tyrant Body, I should suppress all things!!"
"Be suppressed!!!"
Above the starry sky, the Great Accomplished Tyrant Body stood with halberd in hand, purple blood spraying.
Nine true spirits coiled around him, protecting his soul.
They roared endlessly at Ye Mingyuan, seeking to devour his Sacred Body's flesh and blood!
The great halberd descended with enough might to cleave a galaxy apart, yet a golden fist firmly blocked it!
His golden Bitter Sea boiled!
At that moment, Ye Mingyuan resembled an Immortal King descending upon the world, his gaze indifferent and his killing intent boiling.
Originally, he had only chosen to act to oblige Heavenly Venerable Taiyi.
But now, the fight had truly stoked his fury!
He was a newly risen Great Accomplishment Sacred Body, with abundant lifespan and vigorous blood and Qi!
Yet against a self-sealed Great Accomplished Tyrant Body like this.
He had spent so long without being able to bring him down!
This could already be called a humiliation!
Especially when he saw Heavenly Venerable Taiyi take up residence in a forbidden zone again, once more becoming a lurking threat to all living beings.
And the place he had entered was that fellow Lu Qingyun's Immortal Court!
All these factors combined pushed his anger to its peak!
The Green Lotus bloomed amid chaos, shedding endless clear radiance!
Ye Mingyuan roared, his golden blood and Qi surging like an ocean as he completely suppressed the Great Accomplished Tyrant Body!
Then he unleashed the forbidden imperial technique he had continually perfected throughout his battles!
With towering blood and Qi, he formed a cage of heaven and earth, imprisoning the Great Accomplished Tyrant Body!
And then...
He closed in, thrusting both hands into his flesh!
Then he wrenched with tremendous force!
Purple blood blossomed, flesh tearing apart!
The Great Accomplished Tyrant Body's body abruptly split in two, and the endless, crystalline, dazzling purple blood became a peerless medicine rarely seen in this world, washing over Ye Mingyuan's body!
Flesh regenerated, divine power surged, and he continually recovered.
His cultivation had also unknowingly grown considerably through his deadly battle with a formidable foe.
Ye Mingyuan's long hair danced wildly, stained purple by the blood, lending him an even more uncanny air!
The Great Accomplished Tyrant Body had fallen!
The starry sky abruptly fell silent, with only the lingering force blasting shattered stars apart.
Ye Mingyuan put the Great Accomplished Tyrant Body's remains into his Bitter Sea as spoils of war.
Then he turned his head.
He looked toward the Tyrant Body Ancestral Star, silent at that moment.
From beginning to end, there had not been the slightest movement from the Tyrant Body Ancestral Star, as though this Great Accomplished Tyrant Body had already been chosen as their sacrifice.
Ye Mingyuan's gaze was cold, his voice amplified by his blood and Qi as it spread throughout the star domain containing the Tyrant Body Ancestral Star.
"This lifetime belongs to me, a Sacred Body!"
"You had all better behave, or... I won't mind bathing in the purple blood of a few more Tyrant Bodies!"
Silence...
There was no response.
It was also tacit acceptance.
With a cold snort, Ye Mingyuan summoned a golden avenue and returned to Fallen Immortal Star.
However.
When he looked toward the Immortal Court, a trace of wariness flashed through his eyes.
With Heavenly Venerable Taiyi taking up residence, the Immortal Court's overall strength would certainly be even greater!
As a result, his confidence in sweeping away this newly formed forbidden zone.
Diminished yet again.
As one of the only two invincible beings born in this age, he was revered by all living creatures in the universe.
He seemed to stand high above, looking down upon all living beings.
Yet not only he, but everyone knew...
That existence who far surpassed him, though residing within a forbidden zone, had never sealed himself.
As long as he wished, he could emerge at any moment.
He could easily take authority from Ye Mingyuan's hands and rule this great universe!
After returning to the Feng Family, Ye Mingyuan was preparing to enter seclusion.
A voice rang out from beyond the hall, stirring his heart slightly.
"Husband..."
The hall doors opened, and a woman in a wide-sleeved, glazed immortal gown slowly walked in, her skin fairer than snow and her beauty peerless.
Her figure was voluptuous, mature and alluring, every inch a married woman.
Her name was Feng Zixue, the divine maiden of the Feng Clan.
She was the woman Ye Mingyuan loved.
She was also Ye Mingyuan's... wife in name.
Yet upon seeing Feng Zixue, Ye Mingyuan could not help feeling a trace of irritation.
His voice was low as he asked, "What are you here for?"
Seeing Feng Zixue's hesitant expression, as though she was somewhat torn.
He seemed to think of something, and his expression grew uglier.
He even.
Spoke stiffly before Feng Zixue could say anything. "I gained some insights from the battle just now and will enter seclusion for a thousand years. Whatever it is... we'll discuss it later."
With that, he waved his hand, seemingly unwilling to pay her any attention.
Feng Zixue also turned and left in silence, her swaying figure exuding the air of a married woman.
But the problem was.
Only Ye Mingyuan knew.
He and Feng Zixue were husband and wife in name alone; he had never so much as touched a finger of hers!
Then where did that married-woman air come from?
Ye Mingyuan looked toward the Immortal Court Forbidden Land, his expression dark.
"Lu Qingyun..."
