419: Mutation

"I agree."

Before the others could speak,

Daoist Chong Hua was the first to speak.

Daoist Chong Hua was originally a recluse; although he established the Chong Hua Hall lineage, he rarely emerged into the world.

His current emergence was only due to Old Man Tianji's invitation, which he could not refuse.

Now, since there was a method that satisfied both parties, why not embrace it?

"I also agree."

"..."

Venerable Lieyang, Venerable Wan Fa, and several other Venerables successively agreed.

High in the sky,

Mo Xuan glanced at Bi Xi Venerable, White Tiger Venerable, and Venerable Qian Mei Hu.

He nodded.

Seeing Mo Xuan agree,

Venerable Qian Mei Hu felt a slight relief.

"Boring."

The overbearing middle-aged man holding a long saber spoke with a hint of dissatisfaction, but he did not forcefully act on his own again.

"Good."

Asura Venerable responded to the Venerables of Xuanyang Realm on the other side, who seemed ready to make a move.

"Whoosh~"

Venerable Qixing felt a slight relief; the pressure from the Giant Black Beast was too immense.

Moreover, there were still those three Auras that hadn't made a move.

To achieve this result was already good.

However, it would require a significant sacrifice.

Boom!

Just at this moment,

A nine-story, hundreds-of-feet-tall ancient tower flew out from a passage filled with auspicious light.

It landed on the continuous mountain ranges that rose from the ground, suppressing them.

Rumble!

As the ancient tower appeared, an earth-shattering roar echoed between heaven and earth.

A magnificent World completely broke through the barrier and merged with Xuanyang Realm.

Heaven and earth shook, space shattered, mountains erupted, and rivers changed unnaturally.

All sorts of anomalies continuously occurred.

At this time,

Another strange round stone emerged from the Void Realm.

Carrying streaks of profound formation runes, it descended from the sky and plunged into the ground at the boundary.

A profound Aura emanated.

The anomalies such as the shaking of heaven and earth and the shattering of space suddenly became gentler.

The continuous mountain ranges rose, dividing heaven and earth into two.

From then on, the two realms were completely connected.

It was also at this moment.

The various passages that appeared in each domain of the two realms suddenly shattered.

Crushing the Cultivators fighting within them into pieces.

Cultivators who had entered another domain sensed the shattering of the passages, their expressions drastically changing.

Upon a second look, they found that the world had already changed.

At the boundary of the two realms,

Watching the ancient tower and the round stone descend from the Void Realm, suppressing the mountains at the boundary of the two realms,

The Venerables of Xuanyang Realm had not yet had time to retreat.

This change had already occurred.

At this moment, their hearts were once again gripped with tension.

The swift completion of the two realms' merger

Meant that the three individuals who were presiding over the Grand Array and had not yet made a move now had an opportunity to act.

They felt fortunate that an agreement had been reached beforehand.

However, at this moment, there was also a hint of unease.

"Go!"

Venerable Qing Ming let out a low shout.

With a single sword stroke, he opened a Void Realm door.

He was the first to disappear into the Void Realm; if not now, when?

"Fellow Daoist, what was promised will surely be delivered. Please allow us some time to prepare."

Venerable Qing Ming left a message.

One by one, the Venerables of Xuanyang Realm stepped into the Void Realm.

And vanished.

High in the sky,

Mo Xuan watched with cold eyes.

He did not bother with the Soul Transformation Venerables of Xuanyang Realm who were fleeing.

As long as they didn't provoke him, everything would be peaceful.

He quietly sensed the changes in heaven and earth as the two realms merged.

A moment later,

Mo Xuan's heart suddenly stirred.

A feeling of something missing lingered in his heart.

"What did I overlook..."

Mo Xuan's gaze sharpened slightly.

His massive, hideous snake head looked downwards.

A continuous mountain range, suppressed by a nine-story ancient tower, lay across the land.

To the right was the Sword Domain of Xuanming World's Barren Continent, which had broken through the plane barrier and connected with Xuanyang Realm.

To the left were Xuanyang Realm's Demon Domain and Nancang Domain.

"Nancang Domain..."

"That Aura..."

Mo Xuan's heart jolted.

He had already remembered what he had overlooked.

It was precisely the Aura that had appeared in Xuanqing Sect and had been startled away by him.

Yet, earlier, that Aura was not present on the bodies of the Soul Transformation Venerables of Xuanyang Realm.

And he had actually overlooked this.

With his current strength, such a thing should clearly be impossible.

"What kind of technique is this..."

Mo Xuan's eyes showed a hint of solemnity.

Just at this moment,

Nancang Domain,

Underground.

Streaks of formation runes suddenly bloomed.

Connecting all eight states, excluding Qingzhou, together.

Node after node flickered with intense treasure light.

Buzz!

A powerful fluctuation originated from deep underground in Nancang Domain.

In just an instant,

Across the eight states of Nancang Domain,

One after another, Spirit Mountains suddenly dimmed.

One after another, Spirit Stone veins rapidly withered.

One by one, the Cultivators who had been hiding due to the powerful Soul Transformation Aura suddenly spat out large mouthfuls of blood.

Their magical power rapidly left their bodies, surging towards the depths of the earth below.

It was also at this moment.

Deep underground in Nancang Domain,

On a massive altar,

The complexions of a dozen female Cultivators sitting cross-legged suddenly changed drastically.

"No no no..."

One by one, the beautiful Cultivators struggled desperately, trying to break free from the sudden immense pressure and restraint.

Which rendered them utterly motionless.

Boom!

The immense oppressive force caused the bodies of the beautiful female Cultivators to explode.

Even their Nascent Souls were annihilated along with them.

"Sect Master!"

"Save me!"

"..."

Sounds of panic and distress echoed on the altar.

Reaching the ears of the figure at the center of the altar, who had tightly closed eyes but a deeply furrowed brow and a pained, struggling expression.

The figure was dressed in a white long dress adorned with embroidery, from which wafted a clear fragrance of flowers.

Her beautiful, fair face, like a blossoming flower, was now covered with blue veins.

"Explode!"

The beautiful woman in the embroidered white dress was completely unable to move under the sudden oppressive force of heaven and earth.

Passively enduring this powerful oppressive force.

Although she sensed that one after another, the Nascent Soul Grand Elders within her sect were dying,

She was completely powerless.

At this moment, Fairy Bai Hua could not even preserve her own life.

"Explode!"

Fairy Bai Hua's heart was resolute.

In the hand of her several-inch-tall Nascent Soul, a crystal-clear, exquisite flower spun.

As Fairy Bai Hua roared inwardly,

That crystal-clear, exquisite flower exploded with a bang.

Boom!

The powerful impact left Fairy Bai Hua's body riddled with holes, but it also gave her a momentary sense of relief.

Taking advantage of this instant,

Fairy Bai Hua dragged her broken body, left the altar, and fled in a panic.

Deep underground in Nancang Domain,

Elsewhere on another side,

A young-faced female Cultivator, her face bitter, looked at the Cultivators lying dead on the ground, each bearing a 'Tiannan' token.

There was an indescribable pain in her eyes.

"Senior Sister, I still couldn't protect Tiannan Pavilion..."

Even after abandoning her dignity and submitting herself, she still ended up like this... Jin Yan sighed in her heart, painfully closing her eyes.

Allowing the heaven and earth might, like that of a Soul Transformation Venerable, to crush down upon her.

Pfft!

On Jin Yan's body, her magical power was extinguished, her Nascent Soul shattered, and all vitality was gone.

At this juncture,

Deep underground in Nancang Domain, within a massive bronze palace,

The fiery red figure sitting cross-legged seemed to sense something.

The Late Nascent Soul Stage Bath of Fire Dao Master's expression was somewhat wistful.

"Don't blame me, someone has to bear this backlash... it's either you or me..."

...Within the mountain range that divided the two realms.

Inside the nine-story ancient tower that suppressed it,

Seemingly endless Spiritual Qi of the earth veins flowed from underground, entering the ancient tower.

Boom!

An incomparably bright pillar of light shot up from the top of the ancient tower.

Disappearing into the endless sky above.
