159: War outside the domain

Boom!

Chu Tianyun's face instantly darkened, a terrifying killing intent faintly rising. With a flip of his hand, the Chu Family Head token appeared in his grasp. Before Chu Tianxing entered the Extremity Realm, he had used his last remaining bit of sanity to hand the Family Head token to him.

The Great Emperor Rune on Holy Emperor Peak showed signs of recovery again. Within the Main Hall, Emperor-level powerhouses began to awaken.

The Great Emperor Rune directly isolated all external prying.

“Sky Fate Emperor Venerable, do you also wish to slander my Chu Family?” A strong Evil Qi appeared in Chu Tianyun’s eyes.

“Do you perhaps think that because my Saint Heaven Sect Sect Revered Master has been crippled, and my elder brother is absent, you can act so unrestrained in my Sect?”

Chu Tian’s words before he left were already very clear.

The matter of the Yanluo Temple concerned the life and death of the Chu Family.

At this time, Cihang Holy Master suddenly came out and said that successive Cihang Holy Masters and the Hengtian Ancestral Court had always known about the Yanluo Temple, so it was no wonder Chu Tianyun harbored killing intent towards this Heavenly Ranking Emperor.

“Hall Master Tianyun, I am not threatening you; I am here to help you transfer the Yanluo Temple out.”

Heavenly Fortune Daoist sighed, speaking with a hint of helplessness: “Time is pressing, so I will be direct.

Your Saint Heaven Sect seized the position of the strongest Sect from my Cihang Holy Sect. If you were to ask who on the entire Hengtian Continent most wants to oppose your Saint Heaven Sect, I would say I am second, and no one would dare say first.

My greatest hope for my two Disciples is to suppress your Saint Heaven Sect and reclaim my Saint Sect’s original position. This is also why I ambushed Ye Tianxiong last time.

But reclaiming the strongest Sect position does not mean sacrificing the interests of the Hengtian Realm, or even the immense interests of the Cihang Holy Sect.”

Cihang Holy Master rubbed her temples, clearly having a headache: “The Dragon Clan has inherited for countless ages and is a mythical overlord race, boundless in their dominance and bloodthirsty by nature. Now your Chu Family also controls the Saint Heaven Sect. If war breaks out, the entire Hengtian Realm will definitely be implicated, and it’s not impossible for this Realm to be shattered.”

“Even if my Saint Sect stands by and watches the Dragon Clan destroy your Saint Heaven Sect. But the Dragon Clan is greedy; if countless powerhouses truly come to destroy your Saint Heaven Sect and occupy your territory, will they leave?”

“When my Hengtian Realm was at its Peak, they even supported the Dragon God Sect, let alone what the consequences would be if your Saint Heaven Sect were destroyed and the Hengtian Realm suffered a great loss of Origin Qi.”

“None of these mythical races are gentlemen. The Dragon Realm, as the largest Realm among the Myriad Realms, has annexed more than ten of the top hundred Great Realms throughout history. The Hengtian Realm does not want to become the next.”

“That’s why successive Holy Revered Masters of my Saint Sect, as well as the Human King, not only did not expose you, but could only secretly help you conceal it.”

Heavenly Fortune Daoist sighed, saying, “Alright! I know you still don’t trust me. How about this: since my female Disciple and your nephew Chu Tian have already clashed and developed Heart Demons, let her stay in your Rising Sun Secret Realm for the next few years and Cultivate with Chu Tian.”

Heavenly Fortune Daoist said lightly: “The reason I am helping your Chu Family is, firstly, to repay Chu Tian’s kindness for saving my Disciple’s life and to retaliate against the Ye Family. Secondly, it is also to protect the interests of my Saint Sect.”

Boom!

A black token fell into Chu Tianyun’s palm, engraved with an ancient character ‘Heng’, written in archaic script, different from the characters commonly used in the Hengtian Continent today. Only a few powerhouses from top Sects could recognize it.

It was none other than the Heng Family’s Human King Token. There were only three in total, representing the Human King’s authority to travel among the Myriad Realms, where seeing the token was like seeing the Human King himself.

“The Human King actually gave you the Human King Token.” Chu Tianyun’s face remained grim, as this meant that Heavenly Fortune Daoist’s words were true: the Human King truly knew about the Yanluo Temple and intentionally led the supreme powerhouses from various continents out of the outer domain to provide the Chu Family with space to transfer the Yanluo Temple.

“Hall Master Tianyun, I have laid all my cards on the table. Not only have I produced the Human King Token, but I am also willing to leave my Disciple as a hostage. Surely you believe me now.”

Heavenly Fortune Daoist’s expression was solemn: “There’s no time to lose. The Dragon Clan could descend at any moment, and the supreme powerhouses might also return. Let’s not waste time. I have brought numerous super teleportation arrays, as well as the supreme treasures given by Heng Kong Human King, and the Hengtian Realm gate teleportation has already opened.”

“Understood, follow me.”

Chu Tianyun’s face was grim as he turned and walked into the Main Hall, but he paused, then turned back and said coldly, “Heavenly Fortune Daoist, what do you mean by helping my Chu Family, even going so far as to leave your female Disciple as a hostage? Little Tian’s Rising Sun Secret Realm not only has the Undying Divine Medicine Dao Comprehension Tree, but also the great dao pearl. Staying by my nephew’s side, she can also comprehend the Heavenly Dao Eye. How many Prodigies would covet such a supreme Opportunity?”

“You’re preparing for the Eternal Sky Grand Competition three years from now, aren’t you?”

Heavenly Fortune Daoist smiled noncommittally, then turned to Holy Maiden Hui Lian and said, “This is all your Revered Master can do for you. Whether you can surpass Chu Tian and break through your Heart Demon depends on yourself.”

“Revered Master, I understand.”

Holy Maiden Hui Lian’s face was pale. She looked up at the sky, and in her beautiful, still ice-cold eyes, Chu Tian’s silhouette seemed to faintly appear. She said firmly, “I must defeat him with my own hands in the Eternal Sky Grand Competition.”

…………

Outside the Hengtian Realm.

The endless Starry Sky.

Dark, cold, profound, silent. Countless vast planets floated in the dim emptiness, moving along fixed paths.

Ye Tianxiong’s face was pale. He sat cross-legged on a meteorite, a black jade disk suspended above his head—his renowned supreme treasure, the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk, which emanated rolling Dao principles to envelop him.

“Ye Tianxiong, you killed my father, extracting his soul and spirit, causing him to die in endless pain.”

Chu Tianxing’s eyes were blood-red, countless fine blood-colored lightning bolts densely covering his body, fiercely striking towards Ye Tianxiong and smashing against the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk.

Buzz, buzz, buzz…

Chu Tianxing was almost in a frenzy. Even though he had just broken through to Emperor, being in the Extremity Realm made him astonishingly powerful. His entire essence, Qi, and spirit seemed to be burning, in a state of madness, as blood-colored lightning furiously struck Ye Tianxiong.

Each fine blood-colored lightning bolt that struck out could pierce through a million light-years of Starry Sky, annihilating countless planets, and tearing open a crack that stretched endlessly far in the dim starry space.

Yet, similar lightning bolts around Chu Tianxing were almost inexhaustible, constantly dissipating and regenerating. Having absorbed the essence of Batian Dragon Lord, Chu Tianxing, even while furiously burning himself, still had an endless supply of essence Qi to replenish his consumption.

This is the terrifying nature of the Extremity Realm, known as the most extreme and strongest in offense among the three ancient Realms. This Realm is extreme in that Extremity lightning can devour the essence, Qi, and spirit of those killed, continuously replenishing itself. As long as one keeps killing, their power is almost endless. Coupled with the Extremity Realm’s terrifying offensive power, which is almost invincible among peers, it is simply a tireless killing machine that grows stronger with each kill until it completely falls into a state of madness and enters the abyss itself.

This is also why the Extremity Realm is feared by the Myriad Realms: when the Extremity Realm appears, a great calamity descends.

This tireless, power-mad, invincible killing machine, which could boost its power through slaughter, was considered a world-destroying catastrophe in ancient times and was once jointly hunted down by the supreme powerhouses of the Myriad Realms.

Chu Tianxing, this refined middle-aged man, had even been studying unorthodox paths and had never managed to enter the Beginning Realm for an Epiphany, nor did he possess even a top-tier Divine Ability of the Transcendent Realm. Yet, after entering the Extremity Realm, he directly broke through to Emperor, instantly killing Batian Dragon Lord, and is now suppressing Ye Tianxiong, who is using his famous supreme treasure, the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk. This is simply Heaven-Defying to a suffocating degree.

It must be known that the difference between a Heavenly Ranking Emperor and a normal Spirit Refining Realm cultivator is almost equivalent to the current gap between Chu Tian and a common Spirit Refining Realm cultivator, but entering the Extremity Realm allowed Chu Tianxing to directly bridge this gap.
