296: The King of Slaying Dao Appears

Star Moon Ancient City!

“Buzz buzz buzz!”

Countless rays of light appeared, and figures were transported out from within. Some had weakened auras; some had auras like a rainbow; some had smiles on their faces; others were sad and lost… The myriad states of sentient beings were vividly displayed at this moment!

“Yuan-lang (Brother Yuan)!”

Wang Yanan and the others were not far from Xu Yuan and immediately came to his side!

“You… where are our clan brothers and sisters, Xu Yi and the others?”

Xu Yuan's expression instantly changed when he saw that several clan members were missing from his side!

Upon hearing this, their expressions turned sorrowful!

“News came from the clan decree that several of our clan brothers and sisters perished in the Legacy Land!”

Xu Ji said with a dejected expression.

“There’s no need to be so sad. The Clan Chief has already sent their remnant souls into the Ancestral Hall!” Xu Chun added.

“That’s good! That’s good!”

Xu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more at ease!

“Who is this?”

Just then, Deng Changyun suddenly spoke, frowning as he looked at Yue Yu, who at this moment was staring in astonishment at a group of Heavenly King guards.

Hearing Deng Changyun’s words, Yue Yu finally reacted, then said, “My name is Yue Yu. You can call me Uncle Yue!”

Everyone was stunned, looking at Yue Yu with strange expressions!

Xu Yuan quickly sent a telepathic message to explain, and upon hearing it, everyone looked horrified.

“Greetings, Senior Yue!”

Everyone quickly bowed.

This was an ancient existence that had lived since before the Dark Era!

“You are the Young Lord’s clan members, there’s no need for such formality!” Yue Yu quickly said.

Before long, he started chatting with Deng Changyun.

At this time, Cangwu Academy had also gathered everyone. Xu Yuan led his clan members over!

“Revered Master!”

Xu Yuan came to Jin Yi’s side and found that he had actually obtained an Opportunity, achieving the Emperor Realm. Like him, there were three other venerable elders, who had clearly obtained emperor fruit!

And Blue Robe and the others’ cultivation was at least at the Eternal Giants Realm!

This was also the reason why various forces flocked in when the Grotto-Heaven opened!

The Peak forces were able to dominate the Eternal Continent because there was an Emperor Realm expert overseeing it in every era. Originally, the Academy was overseen by Dean Yang and two other Vice Deans.

After this Heavenly Mandate ends, Dean Yang and the other two will go to the Upper Realm. At that time, the Grand Elder and the others will be responsible for overseeing it, waiting for a hundred eras before other successors continue to oversee it!

In Dean Yang’s era, only three people became Emperor Realm experts, but this time there were four, so it can be said that Cangwu Academy had a good harvest this time!

“Excellent, excellent! Your cultivation has actually broken through to Peerless Quasi-Emperor!”

Seeing Xu Yuan’s cultivation, Jin Yi was overjoyed. This would greatly increase the chances of contending for the Heavenly Mandate!

Even though Jin Yi was already in the Great Emperor Realm, if he had to choose between the emperor fruit and the Heavenly Mandate, he would definitely choose the Heavenly Mandate!

Heavenly Mandate, that is, the Heavenly Dao Dominator of all Life’s destiny.

Once a living being obtains the Heavenly Mandate and achieves Emperor Realm through it, they can gain a certain authority. For example, the Human Race Great Emperor of yesteryear, as long as he was on the Eternal Continent, he could receive the blessing of the Eternal Continent’s Heavenly Dao, allowing him to suppress stronger Great Emperors across ranks with the strength of an ordinary Great Emperor.

Therefore, in an era where Dao is achieved through Heavenly Mandate, even Peak forces are unwilling to contend with a Heavenly Mandate Wielder. On one hand, they cannot win, and on the other hand, even if they kill them, they will have to bear the malice of the Heavenly Dao. What Great Emperors fear most is incurring Karma, and no one can bear the Karma from the Heavenly Dao.

Another point is that the Heavenly Mandate Wielder’s Cultivation speed will be very fast. This is also an Opportunity given by the Heavenly Dao to all living beings in the Lower Realm to catch up with the Prodigies of the Upper Realm.

Of course, throughout history, many Heavenly Mandate Wielders have suffered various calamities, so those who truly grew up either joined a major sect early on or had immense luck, avoiding various calamities, and thus grew up!

Since its establishment, Cangwu Academy has only had three Heavenly Mandate Wielders who reached beyond the Emperor Realm, precisely because they joined the Upper Realm Dao Academy.

“Brother Jin, your Disciple is more than just that! He truly shone brightly in the Star Moon Ancient Battlefield!”

Just then, a teasing voice came.

A group of people were seen approaching them!

“Murong Shang! What do you mean?”

Upon seeing the newcomers, Jin Yi’s expression darkened.

Xu Yuan instantly understood upon seeing the newcomers!

The speaker was an old man in a green robe, carrying a sword on his back, and behind him was a group of green-clad Sword Cultivators.

The opposing side was the Azure Lotus Academy, which was as famous as Cangwu Academy. This Academy primarily cultivated the Dao of the sword, because its founder was the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal, an existence beyond the Emperor Realm!

And the old man in the green robe was Murong Shang, the Vice Dean of the Sword Dao Academy among the Three Azure Lotus Academies, an Eternal Giant. However, he also encountered an Opportunity on this trip and broke through to the Great Emperor Realm!

He and Jin Yi had been rivals since their youth, and even after becoming influential figures holding power on the continent, this rivalry continued, though it shifted to their Disciples.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, Murong Shang took in a Disciple with the Hegemonic Sword Physique, and since then, he had always suppressed Jin Yi. But not long ago, Xu Yuan defeated his Disciple in just three moves, which Murong Shang found hard to accept.

However, as the Vice Dean of the Sword Dao Academy, he naturally couldn’t bicker with a Junior. But when he heard about Xu Yuan’s actions in the Star Moon Ancient Battlefield, he started to laugh.

Of all the people Xu Yuan could have killed, he had to kill the Divine Son of the Upper Realm’s Fire Spirit Clan. This was truly stirring up a hornet’s nest.

Although the Fire Spirit Clan couldn’t compare to a Dao Academy, the nine pulse of the Spirit Clan were united. If a conflict arose, even Cangwu Dao Academy could only stand by and watch.

“Your Disciple is quite impressive; he slaughtered the Fire Spirit Clan’s Divine Son!”

Murong Shang said with a smile.

“What?!”

Dean Yang and the others’ expressions changed.

At this moment, all the forces also learned about this matter from their Juniors, and for a time, countless great sects and kingdoms were shaken!

“Ah!!!”

“Who is Xu Yuan?!”

“Boom!”

Suddenly, a furious roar, and a towering flame permeated, dyeing half the sky red.

The originally inky black night instantly became as bright as day!

Facing this world-destroying aura, even Great Emperors couldn't help but feel their legs go soft, trembling like sieves, let alone those beings below the Emperor Realm. At this moment, each of them was like a candle in the wind, shivering under this terrifying pressure, as if they would be crushed to dust in the next second.

“Dao Severing King!”

The Great Emperors were terrified.

The next moment, a gaze swept towards Cangwu Academy, and the surrounding beings quickly moved far away.

“It’s you!”

A red-haired middle-aged man stared at Xu Yuan with gloomy eyes. He still had some impression of Xu Yuan.

After all, this was the only Saint Eyes Wielder in the current era. For the myriad races, Xu Yuan had to be eliminated. If he were allowed to go to the Upper Realm and open that place, it would be another huge hidden danger for the myriad races!

A towering pressure bore down on Xu Yuan!

“Stop!”

Just then, a shout rang out, and the towering pressure was instantly shattered!

“Cangwu Dao Academy? Are you trying to stop this old man?”

The red-haired middle-aged man looked grimly at the Void Realm, only to see an old man with a staff leisurely walking over!

This person was none other than the old man who had conversed with Dean Yang that day, and his cultivation was also that of a Dao Severing King!

“What if we are? Cangwu Academy is a Lower Realm force under our Dao Academy. Do you, the Fire Spirit Clan, intend to go to war with my Cangwu Dao Academy?”

The old man with the staff said impolitely. At the same time, two more old men appeared beside him, their auras no weaker than his.

“It seems I’m not needed!”

In the distance, Xu Qing’s mouth curved slightly as he witnessed this scene!

He had originally intended to act, but after seeing Yue Yu, he held back.

He already knew Yue Yu’s identity; his cultivation was not weak, having reached the Late Stage of Dao Dominator, while the Fire Spirit Clan expert was only in the Early Stage of Dao Severing.

Now that the three elders from the Dao Academy had stepped forward, there was even less need for him to act, so he left Star Moon Island.
