179: Time and Space Backtracking Symbol

“The Canggu Dragon Court must be destroyed.”

Chu Tian’s cold and calm voice, like a thunderclap, resounded across the vast sky for a thousand miles, and his fists clenched slightly.

For the honor of the Family.

Old Tuo used his life to complete his last battle, dedicating everything to the Chu Family.

Old Tuo didn't have to fight in this battle.

With his immense contributions to the Chu Family and his extremely high status, now that the Yanluo Temple was gone and the Heaven Group was no more, he could have lived out his golden years in peace or traveled through myriad worlds until his lifespan ended and he passed away.

Yet, he chose the most glorious and dazzling way to end his life.

With one blade, he annihilated the Lie Heaven Dragon Lord. In the ancient and modern history of Hengtian Continent, how many could achieve this?

“Old Tuo!”

“Ah!”

Chu Tianyun, covered in blood, flew out from underground, his eyes wide with rage as he looked at the sky shattered by Old Tuo's blade, and he knelt heavily on the ground.

“Uncle Tuo!”

Chu Tianyun let out a hoarse roar, his eyes bloodshot, frantically pounding the ground with his fists.

“It’s all my fault, my fault. I should have stopped Old Tuo’s order back then; I shouldn’t have let the Heaven Group members do that.”

“Ah…”

Chu Tianyun's tiger-like eyes were wide, two streams of blood tears flowing down as he cried and roared hoarsely, shaking the sky for ten thousand miles.

Old Tuo had guarded the main peak for thousands of years; the mission of guarding the Yanluo Temple had merged into his bones.

The Heaven Group members also chose to commit suicide due to Old Tuo's command.

At that moment, he had probably already made this choice, and it just so happened that the Chu Family was about to destroy the Dragon God Sect, facing both internal and external troubles. Old Tuo chose to use his life to quell the negative impact the Yanluo Temple had brought to the Chu Family.

At this moment, a piece of paper floated into Chu Tianyun's hand, with a line of scrawled characters written on it.

“Third Master, there’s no need to blame yourself. This old servant has lived for so long, long enough. To be able to use this life before death to make some insignificant contributions to the Family is this old servant’s honor. Thank you, three masters, for proposing that this old servant change his surname to Chu and assume the position of Vice Family Head, but this old servant is old and frail, his body decaying, nearing his end. How could he be worthy of such a position?”

“To have served the Chu Family for a thousand years, gained numerous honors, and watched the three masters and Young Masters and Young Misses grow up with my own eyes, this old servant’s life is enough.”

“May the Chu Family last for thousands of autumns and generations.”

Chu Tianyun opened his mouth wide, silently weeping, slowly stood up, and walked towards the Dragon God Sect headquarters.

“The Dragon God Sect, must be destroyed.”

“Canggu Dragon Court, you all just wait for me.”

“Pass on my order: the 1.35 million li territory of the Dragon God Sect, covering thirty-eight large commanderies and 1.86 billion Dragon Clan believers, is to be completely sealed off.”

“Neighboring Sects and forces are given three days to withdraw all their power from the Dragon God Sect’s territory, otherwise they will be considered accomplices of the Dragon God Sect.”

“After three days.”

“Kill all without mercy!”

Chu Tianyun slowly announced all the resolutions that had been prepared, pronouncing the life and death of 1.86 billion Dragon Clan believers within the Dragon God Sect’s territory.

“Those who insult my Saint Heaven Sect will face the destruction of their Sect, the extermination of their Family, and the eradication of their roots.”

“No one will be spared, no matter where they hide, whether in the heavens or on earth.”

“It was so thirty thousand years ago, and it is so now, never changed.”

“Su Muwen, the rest of the matters are fully entrusted to your War Affairs Hall.”

“There is only one goal: after three days, do not leave a single living soul within the Dragon God Sect’s territory.”

Buzz!

The Chenxing White Tiger Blade was shattered by the Lie Heaven Dragon Lord. Chu Tianyun used his hand as a blade, and with a white tiger’s roar, he unleashed a blade strike that spanned tens of thousands of miles, cleaving the entire Dragon God Sect headquarters in two.

Outside the Dragon God Sect’s territory, the powerful armies dispatched by the various great commanderies of the Saint Heaven Sect also arrived, sealing off all important entrances and exits of the Dragon God Sect, and setting up an inescapable net in the sky, with towering Killing Intent.

If one could not prove that they had absolutely no connection with the Dragon God Sect, all would be killed without mercy.

The Dragon God Sect’s Legacy was ancient, far older than the Saint Heaven Sect’s. The Human Race within its governed territory had been continuously brainwashed by the Dragon Clan for millions of years, believing from their very bones that the Dragon Clan was the greatest race. Merely destroying the Dragon God Sect headquarters was far from enough.

If the grass is cut but the roots are not removed, it will grow again with the spring breeze, only bringing endless trouble to the Saint Heaven Sect in the future.

In this world, life is the cheapest thing.

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Endless slaughter and pervasive blood-red instantly filled every corner of the sky.

“Grandpa!”

Chu Yunshang’s face was pale, her voice low, as she reached forward, as if trying to grasp Old Tuo’s figure.

The dust that was Old Tuo’s remains merged with the blood mist in the sky and disappeared without a trace.

“Grandpa, in Cloud Garment’s heart, you are always the strongest, the most amazing, even more amazing than Father and Mother.”

“Are you not going to care for Cloud Garment anymore?”

Chu Yunshang stood dazedly in place, her eyes empty and lifeless, the Saint Bone in her brow dim, as if a sense of utter despair had settled in her heart.

Her fiancé had planted the Supreme Yin Yang Art in her, intending to refine her into a slaughtering demonic weapon.

The psychological blow to her was already immense.

Now, witnessing her beloved Grandpa turn to ash before her eyes, the impact on her innocent soul was unimaginable.

“System, is there really no way?” Seeing Chu Yunshang’s current state, Chu Tian’s voice was low as he asked again in his mind.

“Host, Old Tuo’s essence, Qi, and spirit have been completely burned out, and his Emperor Soul has been annihilated. He has entered a state of complete death. Even if the divinities of this world were to intervene, they would not be able to retrieve his Divine Soul.”

The System’s gentle and pleasant voice sounded, “Even if a Temporal Reversal Divine Talisman were used now, at most it could re-condense Old Tuo’s body, and the possibility of even condensing a trace of his remnant soul is almost nil.”

“Even if a trace of his remnant soul were condensed, it would be in a nearly idiotic state. The possibility of him regaining consciousness is close to zero. The best outcome would probably be like Duanmu Saint Ancestor, where a completely new consciousness is born, but that would no longer be the original him.”

“A Temporal Reversal Talisman is worth 300,000 destiny points. Merely condensing an old body is not recommended by the System.”

“Exchange.”

Chu Tian said without hesitation. The next moment, a gray ancient talisman appeared in his hand, and he directly crushed it.

Buzz, buzz, buzz…

Instantly, a profound and mysterious aura permeated the air, space-time twisted, and the scattered dust of Old Tuo gathered towards Chu Tian’s hands. Soon, Old Tuo’s body re-condensed in Chu Tian’s hands.

His old face still carried a decaying smell, and the Emperor power in his body was almost gone. He looked like an ordinary old man on the verge of death—no, he was already a dead old man.
