140: Chapter 140 The Power of the Great Luo

On the ruins of Tushita Palace.

Li Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, no Immortal light flowing around him, no earth-shattering aura.

He just stood there quietly.

His entire being merged with this world, this boundless Immortal Domain, and the vast river of time spanning past and future.

He had become one.

A Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

Having reached this Realm, the world in Li Xuan's eyes was completely different.

He could clearly “see” a phantom yet real long river, flowing ceaselessly through ancient times to the future.

In the river, countless phantom figures of living beings floated and struggled; those were their destinies.

And at this moment, his true spirit had leaped out of the river, standing on the bank, overlooking the flowing water.

Past, present, future.

To him, they were no longer linear extensions, but a scroll that could be flipped through at will.

His thoughts stirred slightly.

He saw the Palace Master of the Fallen Immortal Palace, an old man with a withered face and ominous black Qi wrapped around him, roaring in shock and anger.

The old man was still refining Magic Treasures, trying to probe his Origins.

He could even see that countless years ago, this old man had been full of vigor, attempting to break through to the Immortal King Realm.

But he was severely wounded by a black light that shot out from the Heaven Burial Abyss, falling from the Grand Unity Realm, his Dao Foundation damaged.

From then on, his temperament changed drastically, and he became aEvil Lord (Evil Lord).

“So, he’s a failure.”

Li Xuan commented indifferently.

This feeling.

It was like having a full map hack; all of the enemy's actions and trump cards became an open script with no secrets in his eyes.

“Daddy, you look so silly spacing out!”

Beside him, Li Changsheng, held by an Incarnation, waved his small hand in front of Li Xuan, complaining in a childish voice.

He had just seen with his own eyes that his Imperial Father merely stood there with his eyes closed for a while, and it seemed as if something extraordinary had been born between heaven and earth.

That feeling was more powerful than anyone he had ever seen.

Including that bad guy who was being beaten by three “daddies.”

Hearing this, Li Xuan emerged from that profound state.

He looked down at his eldest son, a smile appearing on his face.

He reached out and pinched Li Changsheng's chubby cheek.

“Changsheng, weren’t you clamoring to tear down that bad guy’s house earlier?”

Li Changsheng's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly.

“I want to, I want to! Tear down his house and build a big slide for my younger siblings!”

“Good.”

Li Xuan laughed heartily.

“Then your father will take you there now.”

With that, he made no extra movements. The Dao body holding Li Changsheng, along with his main body, took a step forward.

This step transcended the scale of space and time.

The ruined walls of Tushita Palace rapidly blurred behind him, and the scene before his eyes transformed from scorched earth into millions of miles of Void Realm turbulence.

These Void Realm energies, capable of tearing apart Golden Immortals, quietly parted to either side when they approached within three feet of Li Xuan.

They couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes.

With one step.

Heaven and earth transformed.

...

Fallen Immortal Palace.

This complex of palaces, suspended above the Immortal Domain wasteland, refined from countless stellar debris and a massive demonic mountain, was enveloped in a thick layer of fear.

“Palace Master, all the Taiyi Golden Immortal Elders of the Sect have had their life tablets shattered!”

“Palace Master, three of the energy hubs for the mountain protection array are experiencing unexplained decay!”

“Palace Master, all communication with our thirty-six subordinate Immortal Cities has been cut off!”

Alarmed messages, like death warrants, poured into the deepest part of the Immortal Palace, the demonic palace called the “Heavenfall Hall.”

Heavenfall Evil Lord, this former Grand Unity giant, now had a distorted expression.

The incomplete Dao Laws on his body surged wildly, distorting the space of the entire hall.

“Damn it, damn it, who exactly is it?!”

“A single aura made this Lord’s Grand Unity Immortal Artifact, the ‘fallen immortal silk,’ lose its connection, and in one encounter, annihilated this Lord’s most capable general!”

Heavenfall Evil Lord felt immense pain and even more fear.

He could already confirm that behind that new force stood a genuine Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

Moreover, it was definitely not a crippled Grand Unity like him, who had suffered severe injuries.

“No matter who you are, this Lord’s Fallen Immortal Palace is the Foundation personally laid by the Ancient Demon Venerable Chonglou. How can you move it as you please?!”

Heavenfall Evil Lord became ruthless. He formed a hand seal and spat a mouthful of essence blood onto the altar beneath his feet.

“I respectfully invite the Demon Venerable’s decree, Heavenfall Domain, open!”

Boom!!!

With the Fallen Immortal Palace as the center, the sky within a million-mile radius was immediately enveloped in a deep darkness.

In this Domain, all Immortal Dao Laws were suppressed, distorted, and corrupted.

Countless vengeful spirits and demonic phantoms roared in the darkness.

This was Heavenfall Evil Lord's greatest trump card, a pseudo-Domain he created by imitating the supreme Domain of the Ancient Demon Venerable.

In this Domain, he was the sole Dominator.

Even a complete Grand Unity Golden Immortal would have their strength suppressed by 30% upon entering.

“Come, let this Lord see, who exactly are you, a divine being!”

Heavenfall Evil Lord gasped for breath, a morbid confidence appearing on his face.

But at the very instant his Domain fully unfolded.

A gentle yet indifferent voice, without any warning, appeared above this dark Domain, clearly reaching the ears of every Fallen Immortal Palace Disciple.

It also entered the mind of Heavenfall Evil Lord.

“This place is too defiled.”

Accompanying this voice, a glorious great sun, so abruptly and unreasonably, appeared right in the center of the dark Domain.

No.

That was not a great sun.

That was light.

It was extremely pure, Origin light.

The moment the light appeared, the darkness within a million-mile radius of the Fallen Immortal Palace, like snow meeting its nemesis, rapidly began to melt and evaporate.

Countless demonic phantoms and vengeful spirits roaring in the darkness turned into green smoke in the light before they could even let out a scream.

The “Heavenfall Domain,” which claimed to suppress and pollute all Immortal Dao Laws, was fragile and easily pierced and purified before this light.

“Puff—!”

With his Domain shattered, Heavenfall Evil Lord was severely wounded, spitting out a mouthful of Immortal blood mixed with black Law fragments, and immediately withered.

He raised his head, using all his strength, and looked up at the sky in terror.

At the source of the light, a young man dressed in simple white clothes, holding a cute boy in one arm, was quietly suspended there.

Behind the man stood two figures identical to him, also exuding a profound and unfathomable aura.

It was him.

That newly promoted Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

How could he… how could he…

Fear consumed Heavenfall Evil Lord’s mind.

This was no longer within the scope of Divine Abilities or Laws.

This was Will Manifests as Law.

It was a higher level, a direct definition of the rules of heaven and earth.

He defined that there should be light here, and light appeared here.

“Daddy, you’re so handsome, the sky is all bright now!”

Li Changsheng hugged Li Xuan’s neck, shouting excitedly.

Li Xuan smiled, his gaze shifting from his son to the massive demonic mountain palace below.

His voice sounded again, but with the unquestionable authority of judgment.

“How can demons like you occupy the former site of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall?”

“This Lord commands: all Disciples of the Fallen Immortal Palace, lay down your weapons, kneel before the hall, and await judgment. Those who defy this order will have their form and spirit extinguished.”

His voice was not loud.

Yet, like a decree from a God King of the Nine Heavens, it transformed into invisible chains of rules, instantly covering the entire Fallen Immortal Palace.

In an instant.

Whether it was the True Immortal Disciples on duty, the Golden Immortal Elders in secluded cultivation, or even those Taiyi Devil Heads stubbornly resisting.

Everyone in the Fallen Immortal Palace, at this moment, found their bodies completely out of control.

Their Magic Treasures clattered to the ground, their knees uncontrollably weakened.

Then, in a deathly silence of terror, they all knelt down in unison towards the figure in the sky, towards the direction of the former Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

The dense crowd, kneeling from the foot of the mountain to the summit, thousands of Immortals, silent as a field of wheat awaiting judgment.

Only one was an exception.

“Aaaahhh—!”

Heavenfall Evil Lord let out an unwilling roar.

The incomplete Grand Unity Laws within him burned frantically, resisting the powerful Will Manifests as Law, preventing him from kneeling in public.

“You… who exactly are you?! Even an Immortal King’s personal arrival couldn’t suppress my daluo dao fruit with a single word, who exactly are you?!”

His eyes were bloodshot, his voice hoarse with questioning.

Li Xuan merely looked at him calmly, like observing an insect struggling in a spiderweb.

He did not answer the question.

Instead, he slowly raised a hand and, facing Heavenfall Evil Lord, gently clenched it.

“Noisy.”

With this action.

The space around Heavenfall Evil Lord, along with his proudly incomplete Grand Unity Laws, and his indestructible Immortal body, all collapsed inward, squeezing together.

“No—!”

Heavenfall Evil Lord let out a desperate cry, and then, his voice ceased.

His entire body, along with his Primordial Spirit and true spirit, was forcibly compressed by an irresistible power into a fist-sized, black crystal shimmering with an eerie glow, which fell into Li Xuan's hand.

A Grand Unity Golden Immortal, even an incomplete one, was thus so easily… crushed?

No, it was refined.

Li Xuan weighed the “Grand Unity Dao Crystal” in his hand, his expression calm.

At this moment, the familiar System notification sound rang in his mind.
