525: Cause and effect chain!

After Tan Sheng received that strand of hair, he studied it for a while but still couldn't determine what race it belonged to.

Undead Dominator and Duan Wanjue both watched him.

He had no choice but to comply.

Using Bloodline as a guide, he activated the Death Curse Clan’s proud Bloodline secret technique, Death Curse God Killing!

He released a large amount of blood, which burned in mid-air, enveloping the strand of hair, and at the same time, a large amount of Karma order spread out, beginning to lock onto the owner of this hair in the unseen world.

Undead Dominator’s gaze fixed deeply on him, his fists even clenching, as if this outcome was extremely important to him.

Tan Sheng’s expression was initially normal; Death Curse God Killing proceeded very smoothly, and the hair had already begun to gradually burn away by Karma power.

This also meant that the owner of the hair was experiencing a rapid dissipation of his life.

However, all of a sudden, Tan Sheng violently spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale, completely devoid of color.

His aura almost became imperceptible, and his body instantly began to etherealize.

With immense unwillingness in his heart, he strained his throat, using his last bit of strength to roar out his final words before his death: “Karma Chain...”

Bang!!

In an instant, Tan Sheng’s figure completely turned into nothingness, and all traces of his life’s Karma dissipated.

The strand of hair, too, was destroyed in the mid-air of the great hall as the Karma power burned it away.

A Heavenly Completion from the Death Curse Clan thus died under his own Death Curse God Killing.

Bang!!

The armrest next to Undead Dominator was shattered by his power; he watched Tan Sheng’s death, his eyes turning crimson, filled with bloodshot veins.

His tone was filled with overwhelming killing intent and hatred, his voice firm yet hoarse as he said: “It really is him!!”

Duan Wanjue glanced at the completely burned-out strand of hair, his expression deep as he said: “Realm Master, that strand of hair has been completely burned away, so does that mean that person is...”

Undead Dominator shook his head, his gaze dark and sinister as he said: “Since Tan Sheng is dead, it means he is still alive.”

“The life force of a Heavenly Completion is, after all, too far inferior to his.”

“With Death Curse God Killing appearing on him, he will certainly know it was my doing.”

“Now, both he and I are well aware.”

Upon hearing this, Duan Wanjue’s expression became even more complex as he said: “In that case, are we to go to war with him?”

Undead Dominator fell silent for a moment, then, after calming down, he regained his composure and said: “Not yet.”

“Even if we are both aware, as long as that window paper isn’t poked through, he won’t make a move.”

“He has been hiding for so many years, secretly accumulating who knows how much power; if we suddenly go to war with him, our chances of winning might not be great.”

Duan Wanjue replied: “I understand.”

“Then Realm Master, now that Tan Sheng is dead, what should be done with the remaining three Death Curse Clan members?”

Undead Dominator continued: “Send them into Forbidden God Valley.”

“Since Mo Fukui chose to enter there, there must be some kind of variable for their Death Curse Clan within Forbidden God Valley.”

“Send them in; if they can survive and find that variable, then their Death Curse Clan’s destiny is not yet exhausted.”

“If they die, then that is their fate.”

Duan Wanjue responded: “Yes, Realm Master, I will go at once.”

After Duan Wanjue left, Undead Dominator sat alone in the great hall.

He took out a jade pendant from his embrace, but his eyes now held a fierce intensity towards it.

Without hesitation, he clenched his hand, crushing the valuable Immortal Artifact jade pendant, and a hint of hidden sorrow flashed in his eyes...

Above the Star Sea, two days’ journey from Yuan Realm.

The Heavenly God Realm’s Immortal Ship was rapidly sailing across the Star Sea, its destination clear: Yuan Realm.

At this time, inside a lounge on the Immortal Ship.

Despair Avatar sat cross-legged, eyes closed, cultivating; Immortal King Yama and Immortal King Potian were both seated beside him.

Just then, Phoenix Xingyuan’s voice rang out at the door: “Phoenix Xingyuan requests an audience with Your Excellency.”

“Come in,” Despair Avatar replied.

Feng Xingyuan pushed the door open and entered; Immortal King Potian and Immortal King Yama also opened their eyes, looking towards him.

“Phoenix Xingyuan, you have come to request an audience, what is the matter?” Despair Avatar’s eyes remained closed, his tone indifferent.

“Your Excellency, we are now only two days’ journey from Yuan Realm.”

“I am very familiar with Yuan Realm, so I ask Your Excellency to allow me to take a few people as a vanguard to go to Yuan Realm first and scout out the situation for Your Excellency.”

“To see what methods they have prepared to resist us, so that Your Excellency can make early preparations,” Phoenix Xingyuan requested very sincerely.

Despair Avatar opened his eyes, his gaze looking down at him: “Phoenix Xingyuan, this is not a battle between two armies.”

“You want to act as a vanguard to test them.”

“However... if you take people there, I’m afraid you won’t come back alive.”

Phoenix Xingyuan raised his eyes, his gaze firm as he replied: “Your Excellency, Feng Xingyuan is already a fated dead man.”

“Since that is the case, why not let Feng Xingyuan’s role be maximized?”

“If I fall into their hands on this trip and can get close to Chu Yun, then that will be my greatest opportunity for revenge!”

“Therefore, Feng Xingyuan still requests Your Excellency’s permission!!”

Despair Avatar understood his meaning.

After hearing him, his expression fell into thought for a moment.

“Your Excellency, if Phoenix Xingyuan can first inflict heavy damage on them, then when we arrive, things will become much easier.”

“Since that’s the case, why not grant him his wish?” Immortal King Yama also advised from the side.

Despair Avatar thought for a moment, and finally agreed: “Very well.”

“Let Immortal King Lans go with you.”

Immortal King Lans could be said to be the lowest-Realm Immortal King-level expert among all those dispatched by their Heavenly God Realm this time.

He was only at the Late Stage Immortal King Realm.

Sending him with Phoenix Xingyuan clearly meant that Despair Avatar had already prepared to sacrifice him as well.

“Yes!”

“Thank you for granting my wish, Your Excellency!”

Phoenix Xingyuan thanked him.

He no longer feared death.

To avenge his clansmen, he had long lost all bottom lines, willing to do anything to make Chu Yun and the others pay the price.

Subsequently, Phoenix Xingyuan left.

He followed Immortal King Lans, tearing through space at the fastest speed to rush towards Yuan Realm!

...Inside Yuan Realm.

Great Xia Dynasty, within the Shi Family.

Chu Yun was currently with all the women, having dinner with his family in the Shi Family’s main hall.

Chu Yun’s mother, Shi Minyue, was also chatting and laughing with her daughters-in-law.

Knowing that the Yuan Calamity was approaching, Shi Minyue did not urge Chu Yun and the women to have children at this critical juncture.

Even though she was a woman, she still possessed this much strategic foresight.

After the dinner, Chu Yun and the women returned, walking together along the palace’s night path.

Jin Mu and Luo Feng, with a group of Shadow Guards, followed behind them.

Immortal King Yue Qing’s face was filled with worry; her heart held a faint sense of unease.

She didn’t know why, but based on her understanding of Sovereign Ling Tian, she felt that this Yuan Calamity would definitely not be so simple.

Even though Yuan Realm was already well-prepared, she still felt that some unexpected events might occur.

“Qing’er, what’s wrong?”

“What are you thinking about?”

At this moment, Chu Yun couldn’t help but look at Immortal King Yue Qing and ask.

“It’s nothing.”

“In the battle a few days from now, you must not let your guard down.”

“I think he should still have a trump card,” Immortal King Yue Qing cautioned.

Chu Yun patted the back of her hand, comforting her: “Don’t worry, I have reasons not to lose.”

“Yue Qing, based on your understanding of Ling Tian, if you know what abilities this Despair Avatar possesses, you can tell Your Majesty in advance.”

“That way, we can also grasp some key information about him,” Afuya said, walking beside them.

Immortal King Yue Qing shook her head: “Unfortunately, Despair Avatar is the one I’ve had the least contact with, so my understanding of him is minimal.”

“I only know that his Despair power primarily aims to crush people’s minds, and it can truly achieve the goal of conquering a Realm without shedding blood.”

Chu Yun then said: “Alright, no need to worry.”

“You don’t need to think so much; when the Yuan Calamity arrives, you just help Master strengthen the Formation, and I can handle everything else.”
