85: The dust has settled, and Master is jealous again.

However, the Taiyi Holy Lord's hope was ultimately dashed.

The Double Pupils in Xu Jinhuan's eyes suddenly shone to the extreme, and two streaks of gray-white Divine Light burst forth.

The Divine Light of the Double Pupils pierced through the Void Realm, annihilating everything!

Wherever the Divine Light passed, the violent Void Realm energy instantly became chaotic and disintegrated. The Void Realm fragments and Law Divine Chains, powerful enough to tear apart a Heavenly God Realm expert, all melted away in the Divine Light, turning into a sky full of light rain that dissipated between heaven and earth.

The moment the Void Realm Divine Power was completely shattered, the two streaks of Divine Light of the Double Pupils suddenly intertwined, condensing in the Void Realm into an ancient, ferocious Chaos Halberd.

The entire halberd was wreathed in gray-white Divine Light of Destruction. Chaos Qi surged at the tip, seemingly capable of piercing the eternal firmament. The moment it formed, it carried unparalleled might, tearing through the endless Void Realm, and fiercely slammed down towards Ye Lingxiao like a shooting star chasing the moon!

Pfft!

The Void Sacred Body, renowned for being immune to all Laws and invincible among peers, was as fragile as tofu at this moment. The Chaos Halberd penetrated Ye Lingxiao's chest without resistance, and blood gushed out like a fountain, staining his divine Golden Armor red.

A bowl-sized bloody hole violently burst open on his chest, a mangled mess of flesh and blood, with stark white bones exposed, a horrifying sight!

Even more terrifyingly, the Chaos Halberd that pierced his body still carried monstrous kinetic energy, dragging Ye Lingxiao's body as it plummeted from the sky.

Finally, it was heavily nailed into the Trial Platform!

Rumble!

The Trial Platform suddenly roared and exploded. Thousands of Ancient Runes awakened from beneath the surface, radiating dazzling ten-colored Divine Light, weaving into a massive net of light that enveloped the entire area.

This was the activation of the Trial Platform's Protective Formation, yet even so, a crater hundreds of feet deep was smashed into the platform, sending shattered rocks flying and dust swirling.

The ten-colored Divine Light slowly dispersed, and the dust gradually settled.

In the center of the Trial Platform, the Chaos Halberd was still embedded. Ye Lingxiao's body hung limply, his Golden Armor shattered, his clothes soaked in blood, and his Aura was utterly depleted. He didn't even have the strength to struggle.

The entire venue was dead silent.

All the Cultivators stared wide-eyed at the scene on the Trial Platform, their faces pale, bodies trembling, having even forgotten to breathe.

Ye Lingxiao was actually crushed like this?

The First Holy Son, who moments ago possessed a majestic Aura and claimed invincibility in the Heavenly God Realm, was actually crushed like this?

The once invincible Void Sacred Body was so utterly vulnerable before the Double Pupils?

However, this seemed to be expected.

After all, that was the Chaos Body combined with the Double Pupils—a Dual Supreme Physique unseen throughout the ages!

On the Trial Platform, Ye Lingxiao dragged his heavily injured body, forcibly broke free from the restraints of the Chaos Halberd, and struggled to stand upright.

There was no unwillingness in his eyes, only deep shock and awe, which then transformed into complete submission.

He bowed deeply to Xu Jinhuan, his posture showing extreme respect:

"Saint Ye Lingxiao greets number zero sequence."

"Thank you, sequence, for sparing my life!"

Just now, he clearly felt that he was standing on the edge of life and death; if Xu Jinhuan had simply willed it, the Chaos Halberd piercing his body would have crushed his Divine Soul, causing him to perish instantly!

The opponent still let him go.

Such noble character and broad magnanimity instantly won him over.

It could be said that he was utterly convinced by his loss today and had completely abandoned any competitive thoughts against the number zero sequence!

"Senior Brother Ye, there is no need for formalities."

Xu Jinhuan waved his hand gently, and the Chaos Halberd dissipated into Divine Light. Just as he was about to say something more, a majestic figure strode through the air from the Nine Heavens.

The Taiyi Holy Lord stood suspended in the air, floating above the Trial Platform without his feet touching the ground, and waved his sleeve.

In an instant, Rosy Light filled the sky, and the damaged ancient Trial Platform was restored to its original state at a visible speed, without even a trace of a crack remaining.

As for the critically injured Ye Lingxiao, his wounds instantly healed, and his Aura gradually stabilized. At least outwardly, he seemed fine.

"Congratulations on your victory, Nephew Xu. Given your outstanding performance just now, the Old Ancestor has already issued a command to bestow upon you one stalk of immortal medicine!"

The majestic voice echoed above the Taiyi Holy Land. The Taiyi Holy Lord's eyes were filled with pleasant surprise and admiration.

As the Helmsman of the Taiyi Holy Land, he felt no displeasure over his Disciple's crushing defeat. On the contrary, for a Heaven-Defying Prodigy like Xu Jinhuan, possessing both the Double Pupils and the Chaos Body, to appear in his Holy Land was a massive Opportunity!

Ye Lingxiao's loss was entirely deserved!

If he had known earlier that this boy had also Awakened the Double Pupils, he absolutely would not have approved this challenge.

"Thank you, Holy Master."

Xu Jinhuan also bowed in thanks, neither humble nor arrogant, as if the victory he just achieved was insignificant to him.

The Taiyi Holy Lord nodded, then grabbed the pale-faced Ye Lingxiao with one hand and vanished above the firmament.

On the ground, the Taiyi Holy Land Disciples watching the battle had fervent eyes and voices like thunder.

"We respectfully greet Sequence Xu!"

This battle shattered all the Disciples' doubts about Xu Jinhuan and completely cemented Xu Jinhuan's Foundation as the number zero sequence!

"We respectfully greet the number zero sequence!"

Countless Elders and Grand Supremes were also excited and filled with anticipation at this moment.

Xu Jinhuan slowly stepped down from the Trial Platform, his surrounding Aura ethereal and mysterious. Dressed in white robes brighter than snow, he was handsome and unrestrained, transcendentally refined, like a Banished Immortal who had mistakenly entered the mortal world.

That was the magnanimity of sweeping aside all opponents, unmatched by anyone, and also the composure of returning to simplicity and treating everything with indifference.

"Everyone, there is no need for formalities."

He spoke lightly, his voice calm, yet possessing a charisma that stirred the heart and made people want to follow him.

Above the Nine Heavens, Qin Mengli and the Qin Family Old Ancestor beside her watched all this, finding it surreal.

"Chaos Body, Twin Pupil Bearer... I never expected these two kinds of invincible Supreme Foundations to appear in the same person..."

The Qin Family Old Ancestor sighed deeply, his tone full of amazement,

"This child's talent is terrifying, rarely seen throughout history! My Qin Family must absolutely not offend him. If we can form a good relationship with him, that would be even better. The Qin Family might even advance further and become more prosperous because of this."

As he spoke, he glanced meaningfully at Qin Mengli.

Qin Mengli's cheeks instantly flushed crimson, and her heart pounded rapidly, like a frightened deer.

As the Cherished Daughter of the Qin Family, she naturally understood the Laws of marriage alliances among Eternal Families. This old man clearly wanted the Qin Family to form a marriage alliance with the Taiyi Holy Land!

"Old Ancestor! That guy is a perverted bastard! I will absolutely not marry him!"

Although she said that, her heart beat faster and faster. Her rationality was fiercely rejecting it, but deep inside her body, a strange sense of anticipation faintly emerged, accompanied by a familiar tingling itch in her lower back.

Hmm, this little maid needs educating again... "Hahaha, Little Mengli, don't worry. Old Ancestor didn't say anything about a marriage alliance. Besides, you are the most outstanding person in my Qin Family, destined to take charge of the Qin Clan in the future. Even if there were a marriage alliance, it wouldn't be you, but another Direct Line Divine Maiden."

Seeing his own Cherished Daughter's embarrassed look, the Qin Family Old Ancestor burst into laughter.

Hearing these words, Qin Mengli realized she had misunderstood, and her cheeks turned even redder. She lowered her head in embarrassment.

After a long time, she finally spoke in a whisper, like a mosquito:

"Then Old Ancestor, when are you... leaving?"

She originally wanted to ask the Old Ancestor to take her away, but when the words reached her mouth, she changed them by some strange impulse.

This behavior made the Qin Family Old Ancestor look at her with increasing amusement.

In principle, Qin Mengli was the candidate for the next generation's Qin Family Helmsman and should not marry out.

But the Qin Family has always prioritized people. The principle lay in Qin Mengli's own hands; if she insisted on marrying, there was nothing to be done... Thinking this, he spoke with a smile.

"Soon, soon. I'll leave after I catch up with that old fellow Taiyi."

After speaking, the Qin Family Old Ancestor's figure suddenly blurred and vanished into the clouds.

The next moment, a gentle Great Divine Power enveloped Qin Mengli, steadily sending her back to the foot of Eastern Emperor Mountain.

"Oh, and Little Mengli, the Primordial Supreme Secret Treasure is about to open again. Remember to prepare."

...After going to the Rear Mountain Treasury to collect a stalk of immortal medicine, Xu Jinhuan finally returned to Eastern Emperor Mountain.

The women were already waiting on the mountain, chattering and bustling, creating a lively scene.

Even Su Zihan, who usually has a low presence, had, at some unknown point, started treating Eastern Emperor Mountain as her second home, coming over for a walk whenever she had time.

Seeing Xu Jinhuan return, the women swarmed him, rushing over to show concern.

"Young Master, you aren't hurt, are you?"

"Master, quickly take off your clothes! Let Qingyao check for any wounds!"

"Young Master..."

Seven or eight pairs of Jade Hands roamed over Xu Jinhuan's body, touching him indiscriminately.

Especially two certain individuals who had improper relations with Xu Jinhuan were even bolder now, having already reached for his waistband... "Ahem, stop touching me randomly. It looks bad in broad daylight."

Xu Jinhuan irritably slapped away those Perverted Hands.

If it were normal times, he would have certainly issued a severe reprimand to Fang Qingyao and Yin Xinsu, taken them to the room, and conducted strict one-on-one education.

But not now, not today.

Because Revered Master returned today... Sure enough, seeing Xu Jinhuan being groped by a group of women, a certain Graceful Figure at the highest point of Eastern Emperor Mountain couldn't sit still.

Li Qingyue frowned, then her voice resonated throughout Eastern Emperor Mountain.

"Disciple, come up here. Your Revered Master has something to discuss with you."

The voice was cold and majestic, making Xu Jinhuan shiver.

Oh no, Revered Master is jealous and angry!

Without time to explain to those around him, he quickly ascended the mountain and arrived at Li Qingyue's Palace.

"Revered Master..."

At this moment, he was like a kitten caught stealing food, not even daring to speak loudly.

Seeing Xu Jinhuan and smelling the strong scent of other women on him, Li Qingyue's mood worsened, and she spoke with a sarcastic, Yin and Yang tone.

"Sequence Xu has good methods. After not seeing you for a while, you've managed to trick several more women into coming back. You truly live up to your reputation as a tireless ox!"

"Hehe, isn't this because Revered Master taught me well..."

Xu Jinhuan edged closer to Li Qingyue, trying to smile playfully and offer an explanation.

But Li Qingyue moved subtly, maintaining a distance between them.

"Stop that. I certainly didn't teach you to flirt around, and I definitely didn't teach you how to train maids!"

Hmm... it looks like she's very angry, completely unwilling to listen to him.

Xu Jinhuan gritted his teeth, the Eternal Law erupted from his body, and he instantly pounced forward.

It was still that same saying.

I, Xu Jinhuan, have plenty of brute strength!

...
