Four Saints Slay Spirits

The instant Ling Yun and King Chen made their moves, high above the Spirit King's Manor, a cold light suddenly flashed in the Spirit King's eyes. The Spiritual Yuan throughout his body poured out without restraint.

"Scoundrels, how dare you covet my ancestors' mausoleum!"

The Spirit King was both shocked and furious, and a powerful sense of urgency rose in his heart.

For years, he had remained asleep, practically sealing away his own body and soul to slow the exotic poison's corrosion. If Dai Cheng's Primordial Spirit Realm Dharma body had not awakened him, he would not have known that the manor had fallen into such peril.

The instant King Chen made his move, the Spirit King sensed the disturbance at the Royal Mausoleum. The presence of a Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator was too powerful to conceal from him.

The Spirit King was in such a hurry because he knew the mausoleum was where the Spirit King's Manor's secret lay.

Almost no one knew of these matters. Only the Spirit Kings of successive generations, the other three kings, and His Majesty knew.

"To think they would scheme against me..."

The Spirit King's hair bristled with rage. Seeing this, the other three kings' expressions changed as well.

"I'll say this one last time. I have no wish to make enemies of you. Once we investigate, the truth will come to light. When that time comes, I will not interfere in whatever you do to avenge your disciples."

The Spirit King spoke in a deep voice.

Something had happened at the Royal Mausoleum. He did not want to waste time on the two women and miss his chance, letting the thieves succeed.

The four kings were bound together like branches on the same tree. Warning in their eyes, they stared fixedly at Xue Yue and Leng Yue.

The blood-red color in Xue Yue's eyes had yet to fade. After several fierce battles, her temper had flared, and she was determined to put the Spirit King to death. As her cultivation had grown, she had become even less willing to tolerate a grain of sand in her eye.

Leng Yue felt the same.

Her disciple had died, and she had come to vent her anger, only to suffer a setback at the Spirit King's Manor. That was even more than she could tolerate.

"I only want to kill the Spirit King. Are the rest of you going to offend the Moon-Gazing Sect over this too?" Leng Yue's gaze swept over the Mystic King, the Light King, the Azure King, and the venerable elder of the imperial family.

The group remained silent, but behind the scenes, they had already begun communicating through their spiritual senses.

"The mausoleum is of great importance. Although nothing could possibly go wrong with that thing, we still can't let anyone learn its secret. If anything goes wrong because of this, ten thousand deaths would not be enough to atone."

"If we can't avoid offending the Moon-Gazing Sect, then we can't be blamed. Such is our mission. Even in death, we will have no regrets."

The four kings spoke through voice transmission, determination finally settling on their faces.

They took up positions on four sides, coldly watching the two women in the middle. At their signal, the venerable elder of the imperial family had already stepped aside to protect the people of the Spirit King's Manor below.

"Mother, what are Father and the others going to do?"

Ling Yun looked up at the towering figures, his eyes full of longing.

Madam Wang had calmed down a little. Sensing the increasingly terrifying presence of the four kings, she thought of a possibility.

"Actually, the four great royal manors and the imperial family are the five branches of the Ling clan. The inheritances of the five branches share the same origin. If combined, they will bring about a transformation."

"This transformation is simply not something cultivators of the same realm can withstand. Although these two Moon-Gazing Sect elders are powerful, they still have no access to the Moon-Gazing Sect's original inheritance-the Dao Palace Realm inheritance."

"Under these circumstances, even if the four kings' cultivation is not yet as powerful as theirs, the transformation brought about by this union will be a higher-dimensional strike against them!"

Madam Wang spoke calmly, but her voice rang with bold pride.

"They underestimated us. The inheritances the four kings cultivate are already at the limit of the Dao Palace Realm. When these four inheritances become one, they transcend the Dao Palace Realm!"

"An inheritance that transcends the Dao Palace Realm? How could that be possible?"

Ling Fei was stunned.

As they spoke, the great battle in the sky erupted once more!

"If you can't survive this, you can't blame us."

At last, the Spirit King spoke with a cold snort.

Xue Yue and Leng Yue grew even more frenzied.

Beneath the night sky, spiritual light blazed around them, and a force of heaven and earth descended.

This was what set the Primordial Spirit Realm apart from the Core Formation Realm. They could briefly resonate with heaven and earth, incorporating a force of heaven and earth into themselves and unleashing power beyond what the Core Formation Realm could achieve.

"Moon-Gazing Lone Shadow!"

The two suddenly began to dance, like spirits beneath the moon, yet brimming with killing intent.

As they moved, blurry figures appeared one after another. The figures followed Leng Yue and Xue Yue's steps, dancing gracefully, as beautiful as butterflies.

Beneath the cold moonlight, the dancing figures overlapped in layers, becoming afterimages. Their presence was far more powerful than before!

"Spirit!"

Facing this terrifying divine ability, the Spirit King suddenly gave a soft shout and formed a seal before him with both hands. An ancient rune appeared in front of him.

"Mystic!"

In another direction, the Mystic King formed a seal at almost the same instant, and another rune appeared.

With the appearance of just these two runes, heaven and earth suddenly trembled. Space itself split apart like a mirror!

Spatial turbulence that annihilated everything swept forth. Leng Yue and Xue Yue's divine ability was blasted to pieces, and thousands upon thousands of dancing figures vanished like bursting bubbles.

"What?!"

Xue Yue and Leng Yue turned pale with shock. They discovered that their cultivation was being severely suppressed, and it was as though a great net between heaven and earth was closing around them.

"This is bad! Run!"

The two felt a great calamity looming over them. This strange yet familiar threat to their lives jolted them out of their arrogance.

"Light!"

But then another voice rang out, and a third rune formed. The unseen "force" between heaven and earth had completely sealed them within!

"No-"

The two were terrified. The red in their eyes gradually faded, and a belated wave of regret rose in their hearts, bringing back memories of being bullied and desperately begging for mercy.

"Spare us! We're elders of the Moon-Gazing Sect! You can't kill us!"

But no matter how they struggled, the four kings watched them coldly, showing no mercy.

"Azure!"

The fourth voice rang out.

The solitary, cold female voice sounded like a basin of cold water, chilling them to the bone.

In an instant, the four ancient runes began to spin, and an endless torrent of divine light in four colors soared into the sky.

Countless people in Myriad Phenomena City looked up, only to see a magnificent four-colored aurora spreading across half the heavens.

Immediately afterward, they watched in horror as four holy figures manifested in the sky.

"Roar-"

The figure of an azure flood dragon coiled across the sky, its majestic roar shaking heaven and earth.

"Roar-"

A colossal tiger towered into the sky, treading on empty air with clouds swirling around it and killing Qi surging to the heavens.

"Screech-"

A spirit bird soared gracefully, its brilliant feathers ablaze with scorching fire.

"Rumble-"

A divine tortoise rose with a stele on its back, its enormous body casting a vast shadow.

The four holy figures were exceedingly illusory, yet an unparalleled divine might poured down from them, weighing on countless people until their chests felt stifled.

"Four Saints Slay Spirits, annihilate all evil!"

Suddenly, the Spirit King, the Mystic King, the Azure King, and the Light King spoke. Their voices seemed to contain some law of judgment, stirring the power of the four holy figures.

The holy figures stood in four directions. Above the Spirit King was an azure flood dragon; above the Mystic King, a giant tiger; above the Azure King, a spirit bird; and above the Light King, a divine tortoise.

The four saints turned into four beams of holy light and fused together, then plunged toward Leng Yue and Xue Yue, who were trapped in the center!

"Boom-"

The terrifying aftershock shook more than a hundred li, and dazzling light filled all of heaven and earth.

Inside the Royal Mausoleum, Ling Yun had just dealt with King Chen after a close call. He watched the scene in shock.
