256: Qin Shang and Fu Cang

This discovery made your scalp tingle.

Because you clearly knew that you had a deep-seated hatred with Xiang Ping.

And this team of Taiyin Realm Cultivators was probably sent at his behest.

"But why would Xiang Ping, a person favored by Heaven and Earth, join the Taiyin Realm camp?"

"Could it be that the Taiyin Realm is where destiny truly lies?"

Thousands of doubts arose in your heart.

After much deliberation, you ultimately decided to remain silent and continue to wait.

Because in a while, you would be able to condense a new Fatal Strike.

At that time, if Xiang Ping still didn't know better, then even if you risked being annihilated by the power of Heaven and Earth, you would use a Fatal Strike to utterly blast him to death.

The 157,000th year.

The mysterious Cultivator from the Taiyin Realm made his move.

His strength was simply too great; with just a slight move, he made it difficult for everyone in the Taiyi Realm to resist.

In just a hundred years, he had already captured nearly half of the Taiyi Realm's thirty-seven domains.

This sudden event sent a chill down your spine.

Because you knew that if things continued this way, the Taiyin Realm would likely unify the two realms in just a few hundred years.

And at that time, you would also fall into Xiang Ping's hands, with little hope of survival.

However, you were helpless against this sudden situation.

Because at this moment, you did not have a Fatal Strike.

Although you could rely on the God of One-on-One Battles to resist the mysterious expert's various attacks, this invincibility could only exist in a one-on-one state.

If any ill-intentioned person from the Taiyin Realm launched a sneak attack on you, then things would be dire.

"So be it, I'll drag it out as long as I can."

"I hope those Taiyi Realm Cultivators can exert themselves and hold on for a few more years."

You continued to cultivate in the Central Sacred Domain.

But just then, several dazzling rays of light instantly illuminated the entire Central Sacred Domain.

Within these lights, a figure slowly emerged.

"Welcome, Imperial Lord!"

"Welcome, Ancestral Master!"

"Welcome, Grand Ancestor!"

"..."

Several different titles resounded throughout Heaven and Earth.

You activated your eye technique and looked into the distance.

You saw countless Cultivators kneeling in worship, and the object of their worship was a white-haired young man with a jade-like countenance.

He seemed to have been asleep for countless years.

The moment he opened his eyes, a surging tide of Spiritual Qi erupted.

That terrifying tide swept everywhere, immersing the entire Central Sacred Domain in an ocean of Spiritual Qi.

"This Lord's Lifespan is short; this is the last time I will protect you."

"If there's anything else, speak it all."

As soon as the words fell.

All the Cultivators who had welcomed the young man prostrated themselves.

After a long while, an old man, who bore a three-tenths resemblance to the young man, stepped out from the crowd.

"Grand Ancestor, for these past years, the Taiyin Realm has repeatedly invaded our Taiyi Realm. At first, we could easily stop them, but later, a supreme expert inexplicably appeared in the Taiyin Realm."

"His strength is extremely great, at least at the Dao Infant Realm."

"We... even if we combine our strength, we cannot match him..."

The young man's brows furrowed as he listened, seemingly recalling something.

After a moment, he slowly said, "Can a Dao Infant still be condensed in the two realms now?"

"Replying to Grand Ancestor, no, it still cannot."

"That's why... that's why..."

The old man knelt on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.

He seemed to be extremely afraid of the young man before him.

But who would have thought, the young man only smiled and looked into the distance.

"It seems this is an old friend."

"I didn't expect that after so many years of change, someone could still survive until now."

After speaking, the young man transformed into a black mist and instantly vanished from his original spot.

"Is this the Taiyi Realm's trump card...?"

A hint of realization flashed in your eyes as you watched from afar.

You then immediately activated Celestial Travel and headed straight for the front lines where the two realms were clashing.

You traveled according to the information Gu Ziyan had once given you and soon arrived at the battleground of the two realms' Cultivators.

However, compared to the young man earlier, your speed was still too slow.

The battlefield had already quieted down, with only two Cultivators still standing in the air, facing each other.

One was the young man previously referred to as the Grand Ancestor, and the other was a slightly dejected old man.

The two stood in the long sky, smiling faintly as they looked at each other.

Although there were no movements, the layers of Void Realm around them had clearly been annihilated countless times.

"Fu Cang, you have indeed made another Breakthrough."

"However... is it truly worth it to gather all the hope of this realm into one person?"

Hearing this, the old man called Fu Cang sighed heavily.

"It was worth it, but now... I'm not so sure anymore."

"But trying always offers a glimmer of hope; otherwise, what's the difference from closing our eyes and waiting for death?"

"Qin Shang, your Lifespan is short; why not join us and make one last desperate fight!"

As the words fell, the entire Heaven and Earth instantly fell silent.

None of the Cultivators present dared to utter a single word.

Even the faint sound of breathing could be heard by everyone.

"Agreed."

The response echoed throughout the entire battlefield, and both Qin Shang and Fu Cang retreated, disappearing from view.

"Hmm? What did these two say before I arrived?"

Your brows slightly furrowed.

Then you flickered to a corner of the battlefield and directly performed a soul-search on a Cultivator who had witnessed the entire process.

In this person's memory, you saw Qin Shang suddenly appear on the battlefield.

Boundless Dragon Qi poured down, crushing towards Fu Cang.

Fu Cang was not to be outdone and immediately counterattacked with a heaven-shaking Sword Qi.

The two fought fiercely, and even the aftershocks of their attacks filled everyone present with immense fear.

However...

You keenly noticed that the sword in Fu Cang's hand was identical to the Flying Sword that Lin Chen and the others had ridden.

Even in the memory from the soul-search.

The sharpness he inadvertently displayed made all living beings feel fear and trembling.

"Hmm?!"

"They were a group from the start?!"

"No wonder the Flying Sword disappeared after dropping off Lin Chen and the others; it turns out it returned to Fu Cang's hand."

A hint of surprise flashed in your eyes.

But as you continued the soul-search, there was no further information.

From this Cultivator's perspective, there were only scenes of the two fighting continuously.

As for their later conversation, it was exactly what you had heard.
