270: Mu Xuan, the Holy Son of the Divine Mystery Palace!

The Fierce Domain is at the end of the Azure Nether Valley's passage, deep within the endless abyss.

The abyss is filled with dense and malevolent Death Qi, looking like black mist that permeates every inch of the place, devoid of any life.

This is also where countless Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters are buried. The scattered Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters in Azure Nether Valley and other sea regions almost all originate from here; only a very small number are buried outside.

As Shen Tianxing and the others entered the Fierce Domain, a thick, malevolent Death Qi assailed them. Li Tongshen and Liu Yueying felt the hairs on their bodies stand on end.

This sensation felt as if it wanted to devour one's vitality, sending shivers down their spines!

"What a cold place. Is this the Fierce Domain? Rumor has it that countless demons are buried within the Fierce Domain, but apart from being colder than outside, there doesn't seem to be anything special about it."

Li Tongshen rubbed his hands, still a bit unaccustomed to the place upon arrival.

With his Cultivator and Physique, ordinary icy places wouldn't make him feel cold, but this place was different.

The malevolent Death Qi here accumulated over countless years from deceased demons, penetrating deep into the bone, naturally making it extraordinary.

Shen Tianxing was also here for the first time; he had only seen descriptions of this place in the records of his predecessors.

The Fierce Domain is not small, but compared to the Outer Sea, it's just the tip of the iceberg. Even places like the Bloody Forest and the Vast Sea Desert are not much smaller than the Fierce Domain.

But this is only relative; what the eye can see is an endless, dark plain.

Solitary Tombs stood in rows, Tomb steles towering, reaching a hundred zhang!

These were monuments to those powerful demons, leaving their names even in death.

Under the dim night, on the blood-stained plain, demon bodies the size of mountains lay across; some were completely dead, their True Spirit dissipated.

Some slumbered here, their awakening time unknown.

Others dragged their tattered, decaying bodies, aimlessly wandering the plain. At a glance, their numbers were considerable, and this was after countless Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters had passed through the abyss and left the Fierce Domain.

Over countless years, who knows how many demons have died here. Now, the Fierce Domain is merely a name, long past its former glory!

"There are still many demons here. Obtaining all the True Spirit Dao Rhyme from their bodies will be enough for your Foundation to advance further."

Shen Tianxing did not plan to make a move. With him and Liu Xianyun here, at least their safety was guaranteed.

The rest was left to Liu Yueying and Li Tongshen.

Engaging with demons is the fastest way to improve one's strength!

"Sir, don't worry, we can do it!"

From Shen Tianxing's tone, Liu Yueying understood that this was the beginning of a new round of guidance.

She had long been accustomed to being guided by Liu Xianyun.

Li Tongshen, however, was a bit bewildered; he had never experienced such a process.

"You mean... we are to kill these demons?"

"You're unwilling?"

"No, no, no, I'm very willing!"

A single sentence from Shen Tianxing made Li Tongshen quickly agree, not daring to utter another word.

"Good, then let's begin. These few months will keep you busy!"

There were still a few months until the bronze door opened. Seizing the time to collect True Spirit Dao Rhyme and improving their Foundation, when they reached the third floor, it would truly validate how wise Shen Tianxing's decision was!

...Time flew by like a white colt passing a crevice!

Several months passed in a flash, and the year-long path of life and death on the second floor quietly entered its final period.

Outside Azure Nether Valley, a large number of Cultivators gradually gathered, flying from high altitudes in dense streams, like shooting stars swiftly passing by.

Several months had passed since the battle in Azure Nether Valley. Those Inner Sea Saints and Prodigies who hadn't arrived in time, and many Cultivators from the Outer Sea, had all gathered here.

Black Tortoise Mansion's Saint Teng Mu, Bone Immortal Cave's Saint Liu Banhun, Starlight Cave's Saint Luo Tianhe, and Coiling Serpent Cave's Saint Zhang Baisheng, all had arrived!

However, among these Saints, there was also a figure who had never shown his face: a burly man with a handsome face, his eyes as bright as the scorching sun.

He wore a black tight-fitting suit, with strange divine patterns carved on half of his face, making his entire Aura appear even more noble and mysterious!

His identity was very prominent among the Saints; even Qilin Mansion's Saint Qi Yun was merely his equal!

Other Saints were half a step weaker than him in terms of Aura.

He was the Divine Profound Mansion's Saint, Mu Xuan!

The Divine Profound Mansion's prestige among the Six Mansions was not particularly high now, but the former Divine Profound Mansion was extraordinary!

After a thousand years of decline, the Divine Profound Mansion, which once rivaled the Three Halls, had finally produced this Saint Mu Xuan. It was the moment for the Sect to rise.

"Saint Mu Xuan, Azure Nether Valley has also encountered problems!"

"It seems that the Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters we saw dead along the way likely met the same fate as those here!"

"On every Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters, a fierce and astonishing Saber Qi lingered, condensed and unyielding for a long time!"

"There must be an unimaginable master of the Way of the Blade who emerged here. All these demons died at his hands."

Teng Mu inspected the area and said with a frown.

The other Saints also stepped forward to examine, discovering that it was indeed as Teng Mu said: the demons here all died under the same Saber Qi!

The Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters of the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm were killed without any resistance. The person who made the move was very formidable!

"Not only Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters, but I also sensed Qi Yun's unwillingness, Wan Tianchao's anger, White Crane's helplessness, and Zhu Zixi's fear here!"

"Their Auras have mostly dissipated, but it's certain that they all died here!"

Mu Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes twinkling with starlight, like an ancient star map flowing, filled with mystery.

"They're all dead? Who could have killed them?"

"According to what you said, since the same person made a move here, and they all died under the same Saber Qi, then it definitely wasn't a demon, but a Cultivator who entered the Secret Realm like us!"

"But who? Who could possess such ability? Could it be... Liu Xianyun?"

Luo Tianhe asked, puzzled.

Aside from Liu Xianyun, who was in the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, no one else was!

However, Liu Xianyun specialized in the sword, which didn't seem consistent with the deaths of those present.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be that Shen Tianxing."

"I've long heard that his attainments in the Way of the Blade are extraordinary, and he has already comprehended the Saber Dao Profoundity."

"They... did not die in vain."

Mu Xuan said indifferently, stepping deeper into Azure Nether Valley.

The mountain walls on both sides had collapsed, countless Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters lay dead around, having lost their last trace of True Spirit Dao Rhyme. All the demon bodies had lost their spirituality and had begun to decay.

These remnants were worthless.

Mu Xuan would not mourn for the dead, nor would he linger for demons that had lost their value. He was now filled with curiosity about Shen Tianxing and wanted to meet this Genius Cultivator who was only sixteen years old!
