346: Chapter 346 Oh my god, he just ascended and already has a female immortal...

"Slap!!!"

A crisp, resounding slap echoed throughout the entire Ascension Platform!

Elder Wang didn't even have time to scream; his entire body flew like a cannonball leaving the barrel.

He was sent flying sideways by that slap.

"Boom!"

The hard bluestone ground was smashed into a bottomless pit.

A massive amount of soil and debris shot into the sky, dust swirling everywhere.

The surrounding Cultivators and stewards were all stunned.

They rubbed their eyes, unable to comprehend how a native Peak Mahayana Stage Elder of the Spirit Realm could be instantly defeated by a single slap from a Cultivator who had just arrived from the Lower Realm!

Who would believe this if it were told?!

After a brief silence.

A roar that didn't sound human erupted from the depths of the pit.

"Junior! This old man will tear you into ten thousand pieces!"

A figure covered in mud and blood flew out from the pit.

Elder Wang was disheveled, his left cheek swollen high, most of his teeth shattered, and blood dripped continuously from his chin.

He had completely fallen into madness, holding nothing back.

He actually directly unleashed his Lifebound Treasure Flying Sword, which he had nurtured for thousands of years.

"Die for this old man!"

The Flying Sword swelled in the wind, turning into a hundred-zhang-long crimson sword beam after tasting blood.

With a sharp whistling sound that tore through the Void Realm, it slashed horizontally directly toward Cao Kun's legs.

He wanted to cripple this little beast's mobility first, then torture him to death bit by bit!

Watching the menacing Flying Sword, Cao Kun frowned slightly.

"Yell, yell, yell—are you wailing at a funeral? So noisy."

He waved his hand casually.

A jet-black, broken sword radiating an endless aura of slaughter and annihilation appeared in his hand.

It was none other than the chaos divine sword!

Cao Kun didn't even glance at the incoming Flying Sword.

He gripped the hilt and casually slashed forward.

"One Sword Determines Life and Death."

The pitch-black sword light collided with the crimson sword beam in mid-air.

"Snap!"

Elder Wang's Lifebound Treasure Flying Sword, nurtured for thousands of years, was neatly sliced in two the moment it touched the black sword light.

The Divine Soul imprint within the sword body was instantly erased by the Law of Annihilation.

"Pfft!"

With his Lifebound Treasure destroyed, Elder Wang immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, his aura withering away.

But before he could even feel the pain of his Magic Treasure being destroyed.

The pitch-black sword light had already pierced through the Void Realm and arrived before him.

The sword light quickly circled around Elder Wang's body.

"Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh!"

Four consecutive soft sounds.

Elder Wang felt his vision blur, then a chill struck him, and he suddenly lost his balance.

He looked down in astonishment, only to see his hands and feet had been severed at the roots!

Blood gushed out like a fountain from the four severed points, spraying across the sky.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!"

The delayed, intense pain instantly overwhelmed Elder Wang's sanity.

He let out a shrill, pig-like scream.

Like a dead dog reduced to a human stick, he crashed heavily at Cao Kun's feet, rolling in agony.

"Elder Wang, you just said you wanted to take me as a Named Disciple?"

Cao Kun looked at him with a smile.

"I wonder if you, old man, still have the interest now?"

...

Meanwhile.

In the core heartland of the Tianxuan Immortal Sect, tens of thousands of miles away from the Ascension Platform.

Cloudtop Immortal Palace.

This Immortal Palace hovered ten thousand zhang in the sky, surrounded by swirling clouds and dancing cranes.

The palace was crafted entirely from precious White Jade Aurora Stone, emanating a soft and sacred radiance.

And deep within the Immortal Palace.

A massive Formation, connecting all the Ascension Pools under the jurisdiction of the Tianxuan Immortal Sect, was slowly rotating.

For millions of years, whenever a Lower Realm Cultivator underwent Lightning Tribulation and crossed the boundary to the Spirit Realm.

The Formation at the bottom of the Ascension Pool would automatically activate.

Without the Ascender's knowledge, it would silently extract the Luck and heaven and earth Origin brought by the Ascender, gathering it here.

It became nutrients to nourish the high-level members of the Sect.

At the center of the Formation at this moment.

The Tianxuan Immortal Sect Sect Master, Yue Ningshuang, was closing her eyes.

Draped in a thin, semi-transparent ice-silk veil, she hovered within the eye of the Formation.

Beneath the veil, her waist was slender, her breasts were full, and a pair of long, straight, jade-like legs were curled slightly.

A faint phosphorescence shimmered on her fair skin.

The Formation was continuously channeling the energy intercepted from the Ascension Pool into her body.

The energy brought by Lower Realm Ascenders in the past, while pure, was limited.

But today, it was completely different.

"Mmm-ah~..."

Yue Ningshuang, hovering in mid-air, suddenly let out a sweet, coquettish moan.

Her delicate body trembled slightly with the injection of energy.

"Such pure energy..."

"Such domineering Origin Law! The quality of this batch of Ascenders is higher than the past hundred years combined..."

Yue Ningshuang's eyes gradually became blurred; she was completely immersed in the baptism of this power, looking very intoxicated.

Her slender, jade-like hands couldn't help but hug her own rounded, fragrant shoulders.

Leaving a few red marks on her fair skin.

It was too comfortable...

The energy surging into her body along the Formation was massive and domineering!

It was simply like a vast ocean, completely watering her long-parched land!

It was a hundred times purer than the Immortal Qi she had absorbed during a hundred years of closed-door cultivation!

Yue Ningshuang could clearly feel it.

That energy, like rushing magma, coursed through her body.

Constantly washing against the barrier of the True Immortal realm that had troubled her for thousands of years.

A full incense stick's time passed.

As the light of the Formation dimmed, the energy finally began to subside.

Yue Ningshuang's delicate body stretched out softly.

Her beautiful eyes, rippling like autumn water, were now astonishingly alluring.

She stuck out her pink, clove-like tongue and licked her rosy lips, still unsatisfied.

"Incredible... just a tiny bit of overflowing energy was enough to fill this Seat."

"Just how Heaven-Defying is the Aptitude of this batch of Ascenders?!"

Thinking of this, Yue Ningshuang's heart beat rapidly.

Extreme fanaticism and greed appeared on her cold, proud face.

She had been stuck at the eighth level of the Tribulation Transcendence Stage for far, far too long.

Without a Heaven-Defying Opportunity, it would be difficult to glimpse the True Immortal Dao in this lifetime.

If she could capture this entire batch of Ascenders, drain all the Origin energy from their bodies, and use it all for herself...

Achieving True Immortal status would definitely be just around the corner!

She descended lightly from mid-air, her jade feet stepping on the light blue Formation patterns.

"Come here!"

Her originally coquettish voice regained its usual majesty.

The voice penetrated the stone door of the secret room and reached the ears of the maids waiting outside.

"Boom."

Two maids possessing Peak Mahayana Stage cultivation immediately pushed open the stone door, walked in quickly with fear and trepidation, and knelt on the ground.

"What are the Sect Master's orders?"

Yue Ningshuang casually pulled a large white fox cloak over herself.

Walking in front of the maids, she issued the order in an icy tone.

"Completely blockade all areas within hundreds of thousands of miles around the seven Ascension Pools under the jurisdiction of the Tianxuan Immortal Sect!"

"Bring back every single Lower Realm Cultivator who ascended today, without missing one!"

"By your command! This servant will go and convey the Sect Master's decree immediately!"

The two maids felt the terrifying pressure inadvertently radiating from the Sect Master and loudly acknowledged.

They hurried out of the secret room.
