536: The patriarch of the Eastern Divine Cult, a battle at the Immortal Realm.

This scene was too terrifying and happened so quickly that all the experts of the Eastern Extreme Divine Cult didn't even have time to react before the outcome was decided.

The Grand Elder of the Eastern Extreme Divine Cult is dead!

This was a Cultivator at the Peak of the eighth layer of the Golden Body Realm, yet he was cut down by a single saber strike from the black-clad youth on the steps outside the Eastern Extreme Divine Cult.

Blood splattered, and more than half of the thousand steps were dyed red.

"He killed Elder Lin! We can't let him go! Kill him! Everyone, attack together!"

A Saint shouted loudly, and all the Cultivators of the Eastern Extreme Divine Cult present responded, each erupting with powerful Qi that swept across the sky.

In contrast, the high-ranking members of the Divine Cult were filled with apprehension!

Those who could Cultivate to the Golden Body Realm were all shrewd individuals. If Elder Lin, with his cultivation, couldn't even withstand a single move from the opponent, then even if all of them combined their efforts, the outcome would likely be the same!

No one wanted to die, especially not so inexplicably; it would be even more meaningless!

Shen Tianxing's subordinate is so powerful; is there really only a Mo Qi behind him? Impossible!

Behind him, there must be an even larger and more mysterious force; otherwise, it would be impossible to Cultivate such a strong individual!

Just cultivating one Shen Tianxing already required countless resources; what about this young man?

In his words, Shen Tianxing was referred to as Young Master, so there must be many more experts like him.

"Young man, how dare you come to my Eastern Extreme Divine Cult to show off? Do you think no one can control you?"

Boom!!!

Just as the high-ranking members of the Eastern Extreme Divine Cult were still hesitating whether to act, a terrifying Qi swept from the Void Realm, and the true essence exploded, forming an invisible giant hand that enveloped First Shen.

The sky-obscuring giant hand covered an area of one hundred thousand miles, and wherever it passed, all things seemed to lose their ability to move at that moment, and the air seemed to be sucked dry!

Mountains collapsed, rivers reversed, and massive cracks appeared in the mountain range, tearing apart the once heavy mountains!

"Finally, someone decent has come out? I thought your Eastern Extreme Divine Cult was only good at talking!"

Looking at the sky-obscuring hand, First Shen's expression remained unchanged, but a hint of interest appeared on his face.

That's right, it was interest!

As an Incarnation of Shen Tianxing, his cultivation had long since reached the Immortal Realm, a complete transformation compared to before!

Facing a group of Cultivators whose strongest was merely the Golden Body Realm, he really had no interest.

Now, an Immortal Realm expert had finally appeared, which truly sparked some interest in him.

"Hmph! Arrogant fool!"

"How dare you act wildly in my Eastern Extreme Divine Cult! This Old Ancestor will extract your Divine Soul, suppress it in the mountain, and subject you to the torment of fire poison for ten thousand years!"

In the Void Realm, an ancient voice, like a bronze bell and drum, rang out, settling the hearts of all the Disciples of the Eastern Extreme Divine Cult!

Especially the high-ranking members, their faces lit up with joy, and no one had any other thoughts.

"Ancestral Master has come out of seclusion! It's Ancestral Master! This is great! This brat is dead for sure!"

A white-haired old man cheered, his joy evident on his face.

"The Old Ancestor has come out of seclusion; no matter what his background, just suppress and kill him!"

"That's right! If you dare to act wildly in our Eastern Extreme Divine Cult, you will be suppressed and killed here!"

Arrogant and wild voices rang out outside the Eastern Extreme Divine Cult, but First Shen's expression remained unchanged.

Boom!!!

As they spoke, the sky-obscuring palm descended, fiercely suppressing First Shen within it!

Dust flew everywhere, and that mountain directly disappeared.

"Hahaha! This brat is dead for sure! His arrogance and wildness just now will cost him!"

"He looked incredibly strong, but I didn't expect him to be a mere show. I really don't know how Elder Lin died at the hands of such a person. It still takes the Old Ancestor to act; any expert is suppressed with a single palm!"

"That's right! With the Old Ancestor guarding our Eastern Extreme Divine Cult, who dares to be presumptuous? They're just seeking their own death!"

Many Divine Cult Disciples burst into laughter, looking at the descending palm print, all believing that First Shen was dead for sure.

This was, after all, an Immortal Realm expert's attack, and First Shen hadn't avoided it at all, being directly suppressed. In everyone's eyes, he was undoubtedly dead.

Buzz!

"Everyone, shut up!"

"Things are not as simple as you imagine."

A flash of light, and Li Tianxuan's figure appeared. With him was an old man wearing an ancient robe, stooped and as thin as firewood.

This old man exuded wisps of powerful Qi, like a mobile volcano, capable of erupting with earth-shattering terrifying energy at any moment.

In contrast, Li Tianxuan's Qi was profound but didn't leak a single bit, always concentrated within, unmoving like a mountain.

Such a display, true experts could see at a glance that Li Tianxuan's Qi was perfectly harmonious, truly at its Peak, and his vitality was also at its Peak.

However, this old man's essence was leaking, his divine light gone, having already passed his Peak, and his cultivation was rapidly dissipating.

In the world of Cultivators, this phenomenon indicated the collapse of the Dao.

Once all his essence leaked, it would be time for his ascension.

"Greetings, Sect Master! Greetings, Ancestral Master!"

The high-ranking members, seeing Li Tianxuan and the old man, respectfully bowed, and awe filled everyone's faces.

To become the Sect Master of an Immortal Great Sects, their strength and ability must be unique, a position earned through countless struggles.

These high-ranking Sect members might have been mighty and respected outside, but in front of Li Tianxuan and this Old Ancestor, they were all as respectful as grandchildren!

"You've Cultivated for so many years, yet you didn't even notice that brat is perfectly fine?"

The old man spoke, spraying everyone with his words.

Only the old man himself knew the effect of that move just now; even Li Tianxuan didn't see it clearly.

After all, this was a contest between Immortal Realm experts; how could they see it clearly?

After the old man finished speaking, he took a step and stood in the sky. Outside the once noisy Sect, all the Disciples looked at the old man with respectful expressions, no one daring to speak.

"Young man, you've been hiding down there for so long; are you trying to watch this Old Ancestor make a fool of himself?"

"With your strength, that palm strike just now would at most cause some minor injury; it probably wouldn't take your life."

The old man's voice rang out again, and all the Cultivators of the Eastern Extreme Divine Cult were dumbfounded.

After all that, First Shen was actually fine?

But didn't it look like he was suppressed and killed by a single palm?

"Why else would they say the older the ginger, the spicier it is? You old fellow still have some insight; you know you can't kill me."

"However, it's rude not to return a favor. If your full-strength palm strike couldn't kill me, then try this saber strike of mine; can it cleave you?"

First Shen's words were like a thunderclap, resounding in the withered old man's mind!

Others might not know, but how could he not know himself?

This time he came out of seclusion, he could no longer Seal the leakage of his essence. This meant he had truly reached his death, and his time was running out!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to Li Tianxuan's request to come out of seclusion. After all, only two foundations remained in the Eastern Extreme Divine Cult, and he was one of them. Once he died, the Eastern Extreme Divine Cult's situation would only become more difficult.

He never expected that First Shen, this young man, would see at a glance that he had used all his strength in his previous attack?

This young man always maintained a calm and composed demeanor, which confirmed that his strength was absolutely beyond imagination, at least surpassing his own!

This made the withered old man suddenly feel a chill in his heart.

In the face of death, who dares to say they are truly not afraid of it?

Even an Immortal Realm expert who had lived for tens of thousands of years would still tremble in the face of death!

This is human nature!

Cultivators of any level, when facing death, are actually quite similar, the only difference being who is less afraid of death and more willing to take a chance.

Like Fang Sihai of the Star Picking Hall, who was able to break through and enter the Immortal Realm when his time was almost up, it wasn't entirely due to luck.

He broke into the Forbidden Sea, obtained an ancient Opportunity, and thus gained the chance to advance to the Immortal Realm.

At least he faced death and then obtained an Opportunity, which was much stronger than this withered old man who saved his last moments as the Sect's foundation.

"Young man, why speak so absolutely?"

"There is no irreconcilable hatred between the Eastern Extreme Divine Cult and Shen Tianxing. Your goal today has been achieved; we lost a Grand Elder, and the Eastern Extreme Divine Cult has been suppressed by you."

"Let's take a step back and stop here!"

At this moment, Li Tianxuan, the Sect Master, had to step forward.

Only two or three of the Sect's high-ranking members knew the Old Ancestor's situation. Now that First Shen had directly drawn his saber and started fighting, if a real battle broke out, their Old Ancestor might actually be at risk of falling here.

This young man was too dangerous; it wasn't worth risking it for a dead person anymore!

Keeping the Old Ancestor as a foundation would at least benefit their Saint when the Emperor's Companion was re-selected within half a year, allowing them to deter other Sects.

The withered old man obviously understood the intent of Li Tianxuan's words, so he didn't speak to further provoke First Shen.

Knowing that the opponent's strength might be stronger than his own, the old man no longer had the desire to continue.

Those harsh words just now could only be said to have been fiercely slapped back by First Shen, and he was also woken up!

However... their thoughts were destined to be in vain!

First Shen represented Shen Tianxing's will, and Shen Tianxing had already declared in the Five Domains that he would sweep through all the Immortal Great Sects in the Five Domains!

The Eastern Extreme Divine Cult was the first; how could they be let go so easily?

Putting themselves in their shoes, if First Shen hadn't had strength far beyond their imagination today, what would the outcome have been?

It would definitely be as the old man said: his Divine Soul would be extracted and suppressed within the Eastern Extreme Divine Cult, burned by fire poison for ten thousand years!

With such harsh words spoken, if First Shen were to let him retreat unharmed, it would be a slap in Shen Tianxing's face!

The last point, and the most important one.

What was Shen Tianxing's purpose in sweeping through the Five Domains?

It was for vast experience points. Only by killing a large number of experts could he gain a large amount of experience points, preparing for the potential encounter with experts from the Inner Domain.

First Shen, being the first to act, naturally had to do it spectacularly!

This scene left all the Disciples within the Eastern Extreme Divine Cult dumbfounded.

"How... how could this be? Even the Old Ancestor acted, yet the Sect Master wants to surrender? Does our Eastern Extreme Divine Cult have to bow to Shen Tianxing? How can this be!"

"This is too infuriating! With the Old Ancestor here, why should we surrender? Sect Master, what are you thinking?"

"Can one of Shen Tianxing's subordinates really lord it over us in our Eastern Extreme Divine Cult? How will our Eastern Extreme Divine Cult stand in the Five Domains in the future? If we let First Shen go today, our Eastern Extreme Divine Cult will probably become the laughingstock of the Five Domains!"

The Sect Disciples were filled with grief and indignation; they completely didn't understand, and couldn't understand.

They watched as First Shen was about to be suppressed, then suddenly everything turned around, and their own Sect Master surrendered first!

They felt humiliated by such an Immortal Great Sects!

Hum!

A crisp saber hum came from the sky, and a brilliant flash of saber light shone in the air.

First Shen radiated boundless saber light, as if he were the Incarnation of a saber. After the sharp saber light emanated, within a radius of one hundred thousand miles, everything visible to the naked eye was cut in half by the invisible saber light.

"You said so much; turns out you just wanted to save face?"

First Shen smiled and said, "Unfortunately, from the day my Young Master spoke, the fate of all Immortal Great Sects in the Five Domains was already sealed."

"Your Eastern Extreme Divine Cult is very lucky to be the first, serving as an example, a stepping stone for my Young Master to display his might in the Five Domains!"

"I'll say it again: take this saber strike of mine. Whether you live or not depends on your fortune!"

Buzz!!!

As his words fell, First Shen's body exuded an even sharper Saber Qi, and an invisible Profound Truth emanated from within him. On the ancient saber, the saber light was dazzling, its brilliance soaring to the sky!

It was as if even the bright moon in this world was completely overshadowed!

It was too dazzling!

The Saber Qi was even more incredibly sharp, as if it wanted to fiercely cleave this world apart!

"Saber Dao Profundity, Sky Collapse!"

Boom!!!

In an instant, a saber light slashed through the air!

First Shen attacked without hesitation, the Saber Dao Profundity understood by Shen Tianxing, slashing down towards Li Tianxuan and the high-ranking members!

Including the withered Immortal Realm old man, he was also covered by this saber light.

This was an unavoidable, ultimate saber light, extremely sharp, with killing intent soaring to the heavens!

"Bastard, are you trying to destroy our Eastern Extreme Divine Cult? Damn it, how can this Old Ancestor let you have your way!"

"Do you really think this Old Ancestor has no power to retaliate?!"

Seeing this, the withered old man's heart was filled with raging anger. His constantly dissipating essence was completely reined back into his body at this moment.

Immediately after, his entire appearance began to change.

His stooped body gradually straightened, and his bright white hair and beard visibly turned black.

His rough skin quickly regained vitality, and the eyes on his face became incredibly sharp.

In just a few breaths, the old man actually regained his vigor, returning to his middle-aged period, showing no signs of old age at all!

Withered tree revives in spring!

This was a unique Cultivation Technique the old man Cultivated, which could delay the speed of his own aging and death, allowing him to live a few more years.

But when the Sect needed him, he could burn his life force and return to his Peak!
