620: roll

Hum!

It seemed as if the Dao was manifesting.

Above, the figure hidden within the black, evil Qi changed expression for the first time.

Boom!

The Dao roared. Above the Void Realm, a 150,000-zhang-long Black Giant Serpent quietly appeared. Its body coiled, and its high-and-mighty snake eyes, resembling great suns, looked downward, casting divine light upon the black, evil figure.

The black figure's expression shook. "How could it... come so quickly..."

"Could it have known they were coming all along?"

The black figure's face changed drastically. Dao patterns swirled as it attempted to crush all the young Cultivators, including Qi Yuan and Fairy Gui Yi, to death.

However, that boundless giant hand remained unmoved.

An indescribable pressure poured continuously from the Black Giant Serpent coiled above the Void Realm.

"Begone."

The Black Giant Serpent spoke, causing heaven and earth to roar and the myriad Daos to fall silent.

Bang!

The black, evil figure exploded with a bang.

The giant palm dissipated, and the black Qi was no more.

The black figure's aura vanished without a trace.

This black figure couldn't even withstand a single shout.

Meanwhile.

Outside the Void Realm of the Dharma Hall, above the Flowing Light Sand Realm.

Just as the black, evil figure's aura dissipated.

The mysterious Dao Lord draped in rosy light changed expression.

"Damn it!"

"Go!"

The mysterious Dao Lord's expression shifted countless times in an instant.

Profound light surged from his body, and he struck out with a palm, shattering the broken phantom of Old Ancestor Xinlai once again.

His body flickered and merged into the Void Realm behind him.

At the same time, the Dao in the surrounding heaven and earth seemed to become a bit clearer.

"Just now... could a Heavenly Venerable have been secretly masking the Heavenly Dao..."

The Incarnation of Old Ancestor Xinlai, which had reformed into a human shape but was much dimmer, changed expression.

The Dharma Hall.

The shattered Void Realm restored itself.

The 150,000-zhang-long Black Giant Serpent's eyes looked upward through the endless Void Realm.

"A Heavenly Venerable..."

Mo Xuan's heart stirred. He had not revealed his full strength; he had merely shattered that Incarnation of the Dao Integration stage with a shout and had not attacked again. It was because, upon appearing here, a slight palpitation in his heart had made him cautious.

With his current strength.

Only a Mahayana Heavenly Venerable could trigger such a warning in him. He did not fear ordinary Dao Integration experts, even those in the Late Stage of the Dao Integration realm.

Although he could not perceive the traces of a Heavenly Venerable, he chose to follow his intuition.

Just now, the slight changes when the mysterious Dao Lord outside retreated confirmed his guess.

As the immense Black Giant Serpent in the Void Realm looked upward.

Below, on the stone seat.

Yu Ningxiao's body paused, and his gaze changed.

"Such a good opportunity..."

"Cannot let it go..."

If he could kill the Bloodline of the Kylin Ancient Clan here.

This Mo Xuan would not be able to escape the blame.

Furthermore, if he could incite a conflict between the Dongxuan Dao Court and the Kylin Ancient Clan, it would certainly benefit him.

Only in chaotic times could one rise quickly.

Moreover, only if this place fell into chaos and attracted countless gazes would Xuan Tian have a chance to act.

Yu Ningxiao made his decision in an instant.

He quietly retreated, merging into the crowd of shocked and horrified young Cultivators.

Meanwhile.

Between his heart, a wisp of gray Qi slowly dispersed.

Thump!

A powerful heartbeat sounded within Yu Ningxiao's chest.

As this heartbeat sounded, the young Geniuses in the arena felt their hearts tighten, and their minds went blank, including Qi Yuan and Fairy Gui Yi.

Their protective treasures had already been destroyed just moments ago, making this the perfect time to strike.

Yu Ningxiao's expression was grave. If his heart beat five times, no one here would survive, himself included.

After the first beat, just as Yu Ningxiao was about to stimulate his heart to beat again.

He suddenly felt his body freeze; no matter how he tried to command it, he could not move a single inch.

Inside his chest, his expanding heart seemed to be gripped by an invisible hand.

"You dare to use petty tricks in front of this seat."

"Fellow Daoist Yuheng, do you really think you are a Heavenly Venerable?"

A deep, majestic voice echoed in Yu Ningxiao's mind.

An invisible gaze descended from the endless heights, falling upon Yu Ningxiao, who was hiding among the crowd of Genius Cultivators.

"Mo..."

Yu Ningxiao wanted to open his mouth to say something.

But he suddenly felt the invisible hand gripping his chest tighten.

Snap!

His heart shattered.

Yu Ningxiao's eyes dimmed, and the aura on his body vanished.

Hum~

When the heart shattered, from high above, within the snake eyes, two rays of light from the Primordial Spirit plunged into the void, tracking along the faint traces.

Meanwhile.

In the Xuanyun Realm, on Xuan Dao Peak, in the Dao Son Hall.

"Pfft!"

The Xuan Dao Palace Dao Son, 'Qin Wuyou', suddenly turned pale and spat out a mouthful of blood, his expression rapidly wilting.

"Mo Xuan..."

'Qin Wuyou's' expression was ugly.

But before he could say anything, his eyes narrowed.

"Damn it..."

'Qin Wuyou' fiercely tapped his chest. Thump. His heart suddenly jumped, and a drop of Dao blood—which had cost him countless efforts and had been condensed from the heart of a Heavenly Venerable—appeared before him.

He couldn't afford to feel the heartache.

'Qin Wuyou's' expression hardened, and he pointed a finger at it.

Hum~

The Dao blood dispersed and merged into the void, seemingly blocking the investigation of all Daoist arts and Divine Abilities.

After doing all this, 'Qin Wuyou's' expression turned gloomy.

Just moments ago, in the blink of an eye, the dozen or so Incarnations he had left behind had all lost contact, leaving only him and Yao Yubai.

If he had been a moment slower.

He probably wouldn't have been able to protect even Yao Yubai, and he might have even exposed his current identity.

"Must speed things up..."

'Qin Wuyou' wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up shakily, and headed toward the inner hall of the Dao Son Hall.

"That Mo Xuan is not easy to deal with..."

...

Flowing Light Sand Realm, inside the Dharma Hall.

Mo Xuan withdrew his gaze.

"The heart of the heavenly venerable, is it..."

"Indeed extraordinary; even I, as I am now, still cannot see through it..."

Mo Xuan pondered in his heart.

...

Meanwhile.

Chaotic Sea, on Junyu Island, within the Qingtian Sect.

Inside True Monarch Mingyu's Immortal Cave.

Yao Yubai, pale-faced, sat cross-legged, about to recover from his injuries.

Suddenly, a green lamp appeared out of thin air.

When this green lamp appeared, an expression of disbelief seemed to appear on Yao Yubai's face.

His body moved, and he was about to flee outside the Immortal Cave.

But before Yao Yubai could make a move.

A palm reached out from the void and grasped Yao Yubai.

Hum~

The palm took Yao Yubai and merged into the void, and the green lamp disappeared.

Everything seemed as if it had never happened.

Somewhere in the Chaotic Sea.

Dao Lord Xuan Tian, carrying the lifeless body of Yao Yubai, stepped out from the void.

"Fellow Daoist Yuheng, you wanted to use me? Heh, thank you for your gift..."

Dao Lord Xuan Tian's expression was joyful. He used the indestructible azure lamp to search the soul, and sure enough, he found an alternative method of attaining the Dao from the memories of Yao Yubai, the Reincarnation of Dao Lord Yuheng.

"So he obtained a secret technique of a Heavenly Venerable, which allowed him to undergo Reincarnation and recultivate, mastering the path of Incarnations..."

Dao Lord Xuan Tian's expression was one of realization, and with one palm, he struck Yao Yubai's corpse into the void.
