The Fall of Two Saints, the Cycle of Life and Death
The Nether Heaven, headquarters of the Shadow Hall.
This is the darkest and most mysterious place in the entire Supreme Immortal Domain. It is perpetually shrouded in darkness, with only eerie will-o'-the-wisps drifting in the Xukong.
Deep within the main hall.
The Shadow Hall, Holy Venerable Youye, and the Void God Hall Master, Holy Venerable Taixu, two Advanced Immortal Saint, sat facing each other with solemn expressions.
"The Giant God Heavenly Palace and the Thunderfire Heavenly Mansion have already begun assembling their forces."
The voice of the Holy Venerable Youye was hoarse, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"It seems they're determined to disrupt the balance!"
The Holy Venerable Taixu also had a gloomy expression. "Hmph! The deaths of Anying and Xukong were definitely their doing! Now they actually want to play the victim and come knocking on our door? Do they really think we're made of clay?!"
Let's join forces!
Holy Venerable Youye declared decisively, "As long as our two families join forces, along with the headquarters' protective array, even if that old scoundrel Shenwu comes in Shenwu, he won't gain the slightest advantage!"
Just as the two reached a consensus and prepared for the upcoming "Supreme Civil War".
Report!
A sharp, piercing light of communication broke through the restrictions of the main hall and landed in the hands of the Holy Venerable Taixu.
"Palace Master! Something terrible has happened! The Void God Hall... has been breached!"
"What?!"
The Holy Venerable Taixu suddenly stood up, and his terrifying aura instantly shattered the table in front of him!
"Who did this?! Was it those lunatics from the Thunderfire Heavenly Mansion Huo Tian Fu?!"
However, the next sentence in the message completely stunned him.
"No... no! It was a young man in blue! It's said... it's said to be that kid who obtained the Eight Desolations Inheritance!"
"Moreover... his cultivation level... doesn't seem to be above that of Immortal Saint!"
"Ha?!"
Holy Venerable Taixu and Holy Venerable Youye exchanged a glance, both seeing absurdity and... disdain in each other's eyes.
"A mere youth who hasn't even reached the level of Immortal Saint has breached the Void God Hall?"
"Are you kidding me!"
"This is clearly a smokescreen released by the Thunderfire Heavenly Mansion and Giant God Heavenly Palace!"
The Holy Venerable Youye sneered repeatedly, his eyes flashing with a wise light that seemed to say he had "already seen through everything."
"They're just looking for a scapegoat as an excuse to attack us!"
"What a blatant case of calling a deer a horse! What a fabricated charge!"
The Holy Venerable Taixu laughed in fury, "Since they want to play, then we'll play along to the very end!"
"Pass down the order! Activate all killing formations! Prepare to meet..."
"BOOM--!!!"
He hadn't finished speaking.
A deafening roar erupted without warning at the entrance to the Nether Heaven!
The entire Nether Heaven trembled violently!
"What happened?!"
The two Advanced Immortal Saint were utterly shocked!
"Could it be... that they've already breached the walls?!"
Without any hesitation, the two figures blurred and tore through the Xukong, appearing at the entrance to the Nether Heaven.
However.
When they saw what was before them, they froze.
There wasn't the massive army I had imagined.
There were neither the thunderous warships of the Thunderfire Heavenly Mansion nor the golden chariots of the Giant God Heavenly Palace.
only...
one person.
A young man dressed in a blue robe, with his hands behind his back and an indifferent expression.
He stood there quietly, his feet resting on the Nether Heaven Gate that had been blasted into pieces.
Entrance to the Nether Heaven.
"Just you?"
The Holy Venerable Taixu looked at the lone Dongfang Yueming, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, followed by boundless rage.
"Do those people from the Thunderfire Heavenly Mansion look down on us? They actually sent a puppet to its death?"
Kill him!
The Holy Venerable Youye even took direct action!
"Seven Paths Unite - Eternal Night Descends!"
Boom!
Seven jet-black laws of the Great Dao condensed behind him into a colossal Dark Demon God, unleashing a terrifying aura capable of devouring all light as it pressed down upon Dongfang Yueming!
This is a full-force attack from Advanced Immortal Saint!
Enough to instantly annihilate any Intermediate Immortal Saint!
However.
Faced with this devastating attack, Dongfang Yueming merely raised his eyelids slightly.
"Seven Great Dao?"
"Too weak."
He slowly raised his hand, and in his palm, eleven dazzling Dao Seeds, like stars surrounding the moon, slowly emerged!
Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Power, Darkness, Time, Life!
Eleven attacks launched simultaneously!
"BOOM--!!!"
A terrifying aura, surpassing all the heavens and myriad realms, erupted instantly!
The once arrogant dark demon god, upon contact with this aura, was like snow meeting the blazing sun, letting out a shrill scream before instantly disintegrating and vanishing!
"Ten... eleven Great Dao?!"
The eyes of Holy Venerable Youye and Holy Venerable Taixu nearly popped out of their sockets!
"How is this possible?!"
Even Half-Step Immortal Emperor has only mastered eight Great Dao!
"Who... who are you?!"
Fear!
An unprecedented fear instantly overwhelmed their reason!
"The ones who send you on your way."
Dongfang Yueming's expression was indifferent, his five fingers clenched in Xukong air.
"Ten thousand paths... a millstone!"
"Buzz--!"
The eleven Dao Art intertwined, transforming into a massive millstone that trapped the two Advanced Immortal Saint within!
"No! Spare us! We're willing to surrender..."
"Pfft!"
The millstone rotates.
The protective Great Dao, Immortal Immortal Body, and even Primordial Spirit of the two Advanced Immortal Saint were crushed and obliterated bit by bit under this absolute power!
Finally, it transformed into two extremely pure sources of energy.
The two overlords of the Supreme Immortal Domain have fallen!
Dongfang Yueming casually grabbed the remnants of their souls.
"Soul Search!"
[Ding! Absorbed the insights of Advanced Immortal Saint...]
[Progress of "Origin Immortal Art: Immortal Emperor Chapter": 50%...80%!]
"Almost there."
He paid no attention and instead looked toward the treasure vault in the Shadow Hall.
Having lost the protection of two supreme experts, the entire Shadow Hall was terrified, kneeling in submission and allowing Dongfang Yueming to do whatever he wanted.
After a thorough search.
[Tier 8 Immortal Gold - Star Mother Metal x300!]
[Tier 9 Immortal Gold - Chaos Origin Stone x25!]
"Although there aren't any legendary Tier 10 divine artifacts, these... are barely enough."
Dongfang Yueming nodded.
Finally, in the secret chamber of the Holy Venerable Youye, he discovered three black jade boxes that exuded a strong aura of death.
I opened it and took a look.
Three jet-black crystals, seemingly embodying the essence of all decay and end in the world, lay quietly within.
[Higher Law Crystal - Death]!
"The Law of Death..."
A glint of light One Flash in Dongfang Yueming's eyes.
"I possess the Great Dao of Life, but if I were to cultivate the Great Dao of Death..."
"Life and death are a cycle, yin and yang complement each other!"
"My path will become even more Perfection!"
"Absorb! Point Allocation!"
[Ding! Consumed... [Advanced Law of Death] Perfection!]
[Ding! Consumed... [Advanced - Law of Withering] Perfection!]
[Ding! Consumed... [Advanced - Law of Annihilation] Perfection!]
The three superior death-related laws converged in his Sea of Consciousness!
"Melt!"
"Boom--!!!"
A chilling aura of death resonated within him, echoing the Great Dao of Life within him!
A grayish-white seed, exuding an aura of ending all things, condensed and took shape!
[Great Dao of Death] -- Done!
Twelve Great Dao!
Life and death, time, the five elements, wind and thunder, hidden power!
Dongfang Yueming felt better than ever before!
"Next..."
He glanced at the mountain of 8th-tier immortal artifacts and various rare materials piled up in the storage space.
"500 pieces of Rank 8 Immortal Gold are still a bit too little to forge a perfect Immortal Saint's body."
"Since they're all gone here, let's try somewhere else."
