Come to Think of It, We're All Fellow Disciples!

After passing through the gas cloud, there was a void.

There's nothing here.

But immediately afterward, without Shi Mang saying anything more, Lin Yunji and the others felt a chilling sense of foreboding and crisis.

An invisible sense of foreboding and crisis emanated from them, making Lin Yunji feel a slight tightness in their chests, as if shrouded in gloom.

Looking ahead from some distance, you can see a large area of ruins.

All sorts of fragments of the world, large and small, were swept together by the torrent, resembling a pot of mushy porridge.

They remain silently here, slowly wriggling along an eerie path.

"Walk!"

Shi Mang, supporting the Twelve Realms Stone Bell, was the first to set off.

"You all stay by my side," Lin Yunji said to Nüwo and the others.

He then released the Jade Butterfly of Creation.

The Primordial Expanse Glazed Pagoda suppressed the void, and the Jade Butterfly of Creation cast down rays of light, enveloping Lin Yunji and his companions.

Using two Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure for defense, Lin Yunji followed Shi Mang.

Upon entering this ruin, Lin Yunji felt the radiant light emanating from the Jade Butterfly of Creation vibrating continuously, as if countless attacks were frantically bombarding him.

These attacks came from the collision of countless fragments of the world and the pounding of Chaos torrents.

But these are not the most dangerous things. An invisible crisis is approaching.

An invisible wave of calamity quickly spread over.

It was a murderous intent sought to annihilate everything.

The tribulation waves that Lin Yunji absorbed using the Primordial Expanse Glazed Pagoda were not even in the same league.

The calamity here is pervasive, engulfing everything in its path.

Being in that environment, Lin Yunji felt as if countless tiny knives were slowly cutting away at his flesh, his soul, and his will.

"Is this the cataclysm from the destruction of the Ancient Realm?!"

Nüwo's body was trembling slightly.

"Hold fast to your principles and do not be tempted by the karma of killing," Lin Yunji whispered.

"I know." Nüwo nodded vigorously.

Lin Yunji had withstood the majority of the tribulation waves, but some invisible killing karma still seeped in.

These things alone were enough to terrify them.

Boom!!

Suddenly, a beam of light appeared from nowhere and crashed violently into the Twelve Realms Stone Bell.

The terrifying force caused Shi Mang to stagger and almost fall over!

"It's a Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure!" You Han exclaimed in surprise.

Yes, what just struck the Shi Mang was a Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure.

Or rather, a shattered Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure.

Lin Yunji could see it clearly as well.

This is a Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure like a hammer, its body tattered and covered in cracks. But an unnamed killing intent dominates it.

"The person who possessed it back then is dead, but the killing intent and fighting spirit he left behind still control this Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure!" Lin Yunji couldn't help but say.

As Lin Yunji said this, the Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure once again blasted towards Shi Mang, seemingly determined to take Shi Mang's life no matter what.

"Fellow Shi Mang!"

Lin Yunji shouted towards Shi Mang.

"It's alright!" Shi Mang replied softly. He then summoned another Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure.

It was a long, narrow ruler.

"Shock!"

Shi Mang roared and swung the ruler in his hand, smashing everything with terrifying force. The Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure, shattering it completely.

The terrifying force swept outwards, annihilating large swathes of the surrounding void.

Affected by the Shi Mang, the surrounding void trembled, and countless Chaos torrents surged forth, causing Lin Yunji to suffer some collateral damage.

Chaos torrent, carrying massive amounts of ruins and boundless carnage, crashed forth, causing even the Jade Butterfly of Creation to tremble incessantly.

"There's no other way. I've stirred up his karma of killing. If I don't eliminate him, he can't escape."

Shi Mang said helplessly to Lin Yunji.

"I know," Lin Yunji said solemnly.

That person had already perished countless ages ago.

However, the Supreme Killing Intent remained, clinging to the Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure he possessed in his previous life, and had merged with the shattered Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure.

His murderous intent locked onto Shi Mang the moment he saw him.

He won't give up unless he kills Shi Mang.

The thought of killing is also a form of obsession.

"Keep going!" Shi Mang said, continuing to walk in front.

From this perspective, he's been quite considerate.

He walked in front, paving the way.

If there's any danger, he'll be the first one to come.

Lin Yunji was convinced that he had not misjudged him, given his magnanimity.

"Year after year, light and shadow, I have been born from the Primordial Expanse Great Dao, when will I see the Xuanhuang fade away...?"

Lin Yunji five companions ventured deeper into the area, but suddenly, a deep and ethereal song rang out from afar.

"Singing?" Jiu Lu was slightly taken aback.

"Watch out! Something's coming." Shi Mang's expression was extremely grave.

What is that?

Lin Yunji asked subconsciously.

You'll see when you get there.

Shi Mang said in a somewhat heavy voice.

Not long after he finished speaking, a figure strode out from the Chaos ahead.

From this figure, the aura of Supreme unfolded, and a rumbling majesty evolved, transforming into chains of divine order that stretched across the void.

"This is...!"

Upon recognizing the approaching figure, Lin Yunji's brow furrowed slightly in alarm.

Standing in the void was a very strange corpse monster.

It looked as if it were pieced together from various corpse parts.

It has more than a dozen hands and seven or eight heads.

Some of these heads were rotten, while others had holes punched in them by some unknown force, with faint bloodstains on them.

However, these heads still wore warm smiles on their faces.

"This humble Daoist greets all fellow Daoists."

This corpse monster actually bowed politely to Lin Yunji and the others.

However, this scene sent a chill down Lin Yunji and his companions' spines.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist." Shi Mang also bowed to the other party.

Seeing this, Lin Yunji and the others exchanged a secret glance, and then followed suit.

"Where do you come from, my friend?" the corpse monster asked Shi Mang.

"We come from the Hongluo Immortal Realm and are passing through your esteemed territory," Shi Mang replied.

"The Hongluo Immortal Realm!" Lin Yunji's heart stirred slightly.

He remembered hearing from the Patriarch Cansha that he used to be a disciple of the Immortal Venerable Hongluo, as was the White Dragon Battle Venerable.

Before the destruction of the Ancient Realm, Immortal Venerable Hongluo seemed to be very famous and held an extremely high position.

The Hongluo Immortal Realm that Shi Mang is talking about now, I wonder if it is the Daoist temple of the Immortal Venerable Hongluo.

"So you're a fellow Daoist from the Hongluo Immortal Realm!"

The corpse monster's smile widened. "So, fellow Daoist, you are also a disciple of Exalted Hongluo?"

"Exactly." Shi Mang nodded.

"Haha, I also listened to your teachings under your tutelage, so in that sense, we can be considered fellow disciples."
