303: ending
Many people's scalps tingled.
Especially that last sentence, it made them afraid to even breathe.
This was no longer just criticizing Kuang Zhantian; it was criticizing the Kuang Family!
One must know that the Kuang Family, even among Secluded Factions, was absolutely one of the most top-tier.
Especially since the Old Ancestor of the Kuang Family was rumored to still be alive.
As long as his death was not definitively confirmed, the Kuang Family would remain at its Peak, and no one would dare to provoke it.
After all, one Kuang Family Old Ancestor was worth countless Martial Dao Five Realms powerhouses.
An existence just one step away from transcending, his combat power was unimaginable.
Yet, for such a Kuang Family, someone dared to openly declare that the Kuang Family had fallen into decline.
This wasn't just having the guts of a bear and a leopard; this was having the courage from eating Dragon and Phoenix guts!
"Who dares to insult the Kuang Family!"
Kuang Zhantian was also enraged.
His killing intent towards the person in the shadows was even stronger than towards Shen Xi.
"Am I wrong?"
One by one, the people who had been speaking from the shadows walked out.
The one who spoke was a young man in white, holding a folding fan.
"This is Leng Shuang, the most outstanding descendant of the Leng Family in this generation!"
Someone recognized the young man's identity and couldn't help but exclaim.
The Leng Family was also a Secluded Faction.
Moreover, the Leng Family Old Ancestor's strength was also just one step away from transcending.
Both his combat power and prestige were not inferior to the Kuang Family.
Only someone of this status would dare to declare that the Kuang Family would eventually decline.
"Could it be that I don't have the right to comment?"
The second person to speak was a defiant young man carrying a large saber on his back.
The young man was about the same age as Shen Xi, but his strength was not to be underestimated.
"Ye Wuchen, the most outstanding descendant of the Ye Family in this generation!"
The Martial Artists exclaimed.
Ye Wuchen was also a favored son of Heaven.
His talent was even among the most top-tier of all descendants in the Secluded Factions.
After all, Ye Wuchen was the youngest and had Cultivated for a shorter time than other descendants, yet his combat power was not inferior to theirs. This alone was enough to explain the situation.
Not only that, the Ye Family's status subtly showed a trend of becoming the number one Secluded Faction.
The reason was simple.
Whether it was the Leng Family Old Ancestor or the Kuang Family Old Ancestor, both had once been defeated by the Ye Family Old Ancestor.
Although it was only a narrow defeat by one move, this was enough to prove that the Ye Family Old Ancestor's strength was above the other two.
In Secluded Factions, low-end combat power was actually nothing; what truly deserved the title of Secluded Faction were the Peak combat powers.
And the Ye Family Old Ancestor's combat power could be called the best among all Peak combat powers of the Secluded Factions.
"Kuang Zhantian, you can be arrogant in front of others, but in front of us, you'd better behave!"
"Others fear your Kuang Family, but my Xu Family does not!"
Two other people also stepped forward, also descendants of Secluded Factions, and also figures with renowned reputations.
Xu Chong and Lin Fan, these two were absolutely not inferior to Kuang Zhantian in either combat power or background.
"You want to team up and fight me? No problem, I'll take you all on alone!"
Kuang Zhantian looked at everyone, gripped his Myriad Ghost Axe, and spoke with immense dominance.
Of course, this was only how it appeared in the eyes of ordinary Martial Artists.
But in the eyes of Dian Ling Realm powerhouses like Shen Xi, Dongfang Ye, and Ye Wuchen, they immediately saw through Kuang Zhantian's little trick.
Facing so many powerhouses targeting him simultaneously, he was clearly a bit nervous.
Because of this, Kuang Zhantian deliberately emphasized 'teaming up' and 'taking them on alone'.
He was trying to force everyone not to attack.
After all, they were all young talents of the younger generation, all favored sons of Heaven. Everyone was confident that they were the number one of the contemporary younger generation. In this situation, who would be willing to team up with others to deal with Kuang Zhantian?
Wouldn't that prove that they lacked confidence in defeating Kuang Zhantian?
If they won, they would lose Face; if they lost, they would be humiliated, and their reputation would suffer, only serving as a backdrop for Kuang Zhantian. Naturally, no one would do that.
It must be said that although Kuang Zhantian was arrogant, he wasn't stupid. With one sentence, he dispelled the idea of everyone present teaming up against him.
"Kuang Zhantian, I alone am enough to deal with you."
"Heh heh, you want to provoke me this way? Although it's boring, you've succeeded. I won't attack."
"Everyone says you, Kuang Zhantian, are arrogant enough, but in reality, your arrogance is calculated. When things look bad, you're no different from others."
"Ridiculous! Absolutely ridiculous! The Kuang Family has completely declined. I, Ye Wuchen, said this. If you disagree, come at me!"
The four descendants of the Secluded Factions spoke one after another, disdaining Kuang Zhantian's petty tricks.
Even if Kuang Zhantian hadn't said those words, they wouldn't have teamed up.
But Kuang Zhantian, on the other hand, didn't know this and even resorted to these little tricks.
This could only mean one thing: he lacked confidence and didn't understand the thoughts of powerhouses.
Such a person, no matter how great his reputation, would not be looked up to by others.
"Ye Wuchen, a battle!"
Kuang Zhantian's eyes were bloodshot as he directly targeted Ye Wuchen.
This was the second time the other party had said the Kuang Family was in decline, which made Kuang Zhantian's killing intent towards Ye Wuchen far exceed that towards Shen Xi.
"Your opponent is me!"
Before Kuang Zhantian could attack, Shen Xi blocked him.
What did Kuang Zhantian take him for?
To attack when he wanted, and leave when he wanted?
Whether to fight or stop, it was up to Shen Xi!
"Kid, you're rushing to your death, so I'll grant your wish. Ye Wuchen, wait until I kill this kid before I fight you!"
Kuang Zhantian was furious. When had he ever suffered such humiliation?
Someone was actually rushing to fight him?
"Everyone, he's mine. You have no objections, right?"
Shen Xi didn't even bother to answer Kuang Zhantian, asking the others.
However, although it was a question, his attitude was firm.
Even if someone disagreed, Shen Xi would not back down.
"Of course!"
"He was originally your opponent; we won't interfere."
"Hahaha, your name is Shen Xi, right? You're to my liking. After you kill Kuang Zhantian, we must definitely have a good drink."
"A mere Kuang Zhantian, he's yours."
The four agreed one after another.
Firstly, they couldn't team up with others, nor did they disdain such actions.
Secondly, although they had appeared together to target Kuang Zhantian just now, this was only on the surface. Their relationship was generally not close, and their respective factions were also competitors. They only appeared together because Kuang Zhantian was a common enemy.
If it were at any other time, they might even have fought each other.
Because of this, the four simply didn't attack, letting Shen Xi fight Kuang Zhantian. They were happy to watch the tigers fight from the mountain.
It's all over!
Shen Xi's eyes were incredibly cold as he looked at the Chaos-shaped object above his head.
This thing was the Heavenly Dao.
And it was this thing that caused the world's repeated destructions.
Shen Xi rose step by step from obscurity, Cultivating through the Martial Artist Four Realms, entering the Martial Dao Five Realms, Cultivating the Seven Souls of a Martial God, refining the Three Souls of a Martial Immortal, finally becoming an Immortal Emperor.
He finally understood why Tongtian, the owner of the Tower of the Heavens back then, had died with regret.
All of this was because Tongtian's strength threatened the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao then acted to eliminate any existence that could potentially threaten itself.
It was also because of Tongtian's paving the way, severely injuring the Heavenly Dao and causing it to fall into slumber, that Shen Xi had the opportunity to become an Immortal Emperor without the Heavenly Dao's awareness.
Otherwise, he might very well have followed in Tongtian's footsteps and been stifled in the cradle prematurely.
"It's time for it to end!"
Shen Xi spoke coldly.
Having become an Immortal Emperor, he had transcended above the Heavenly Dao.
He swung the sword in his hand, obliterating the Heavenly Dao!
"No!"
The Heavenly Dao roared unwillingly, but the power of an Immortal Emperor was simply not something it could contend with.
The repeated destructions of eras finally ended in Shen Xi's hands.
Shen Xi showed a hint of fatigue, his gaze turning towards a continent deep in the Universe.
Liu Yiyi, Ye Zirou, Chen Fang... Fatty, Liu Linsheng, Chu He... Father, Mother... These loved ones were all waiting for his return.
Thinking of this, Shen Xi revealed a brilliant smile.
"I'm back!"
