212: Chapter 212 The Burial Order Appears, Startling the Old Demon; At His Desperate Struggle, He Sacrifices Himself to the Abyss

Boom!

Su Yun's words completely shattered the final line of defense in the Old Ancestor's heart!

His gaze, like iron filings drawn to a magnet, was deathly glued to that black token on the ground.

In his eyes, that simple, vigorous character for "Burial" seemed to transform into a boundless black hole that devoured Divine Souls, emitting a forbidden aura that made his liver and gallbladder split with fear.

One hundred thousand years!

A full one hundred thousand years!

He thought that as time passed and that period of humiliating history was completely buried,

He had already escaped the shadow that loomed over the Xiao Family Bloodline like a nightmare.

He thought that through his painstaking efforts and eternal planning, he would soon transcend this realm and become a truly eternal and immortal existence!

But now, the appearance of this token was like the loudest slap, ruthlessly striking him across the face!

It smashed all his pride, all his ambition, and all his schemes into pieces!

"No... impossible... this is impossible..."

A roar like a broken bellows issued from the Old Ancestor's throat; he shook his head constantly, his eyes filled with chaos and disbelief.

"The burial heaven token... why... why would it appear here?!"

"You... an ant from the Lower Realm, how could you possibly have such a thing?! Who exactly are you?!"

He couldn't understand it!

No matter how he thought, he couldn't understand!

The Heaven Burial Palace, that supreme forbidden power that once dominated the heavens and treated Immortal Emperors like weeds.

Hadn't it disappeared into the long river of history endless ages ago?

Why would its token appear in the hands of an obscure brat from the Lower Realm?!

"Who am I?"

Su Yun acted as if he had heard a massive joke.

Step by step, he walked slowly toward the Old Ancestor, who was on the verge of collapse.

His pace wasn't fast, yet it felt like he was stepping on the Old Ancestor's heartbeat; with every step, the Old Ancestor's fear deepened by a fraction.

"Old thing, it seems you've truly lived too long; your brain has gone muddled."

Su Yun stopped in front of him, his eyes full of mockery.

"Didn't your Xiao Family ancestors act as a dog wagging its tail for the owner of this token back then, just to trade for the chance to flee to this Lower Realm and linger on in a state of living death?"

"What, after a hundred thousand years, you don't even recognize your master's token?"

"Or do you dogs feel in your bones that once the master disappears, you can turn the tables and become the master yourselves?"

Su Yun's words were heart-piercing!

Every word was like a red-hot knife, ruthlessly stabbing into the Old Ancestor's long-decayed heart!

"Ah—!"

The Old Ancestor let out a shrill scream that didn't sound human.

Su Yun's words completely shredded his last disguise, bloodily exposing the Xiao Family's most unbearable and humiliating past!

As it turned out, the so-called following of a supreme existence and the so-called mission of guarding were all bullshit!

The truth was that their ancestors were merely gatekeepers for an insignificant power under the Heaven Burial Palace!

Later, because they committed a crime and were about to be executed, they gave their all to flee to this remote Upper Realm like stray dogs with a portion of their clansmen!

And the so-called 'God-Burial Abyss,' the so-called 'supreme Origin,' was even more laughable!

That wasn't some Opportunity at all!

It was a cage used by the Heaven Burial Palace to suppress a terrifyingly Great Evil! And they, the Xiao Family, were the generation-after-generation... jailers!

A hundred-thousand-year dream of longevity!

A hundred-thousand-year ambition for transcendence!

At this moment, it had completely turned into a massive joke!

In extreme fear and despair, the Old Ancestor's Divine Soul began to crack inch by inch.

He looked at Su Yun's young yet cold face, and all the luck in his heart turned to ash.

Beg for mercy?

The thought flashed through his mind, but he instantly snuffed it out.

Beg for mercy from someone of the Heaven Burial Palace?

He knew better than anyone what the end for traitors was!

It would be ten thousand times more miserable than death! They would pull out his Divine Soul and burn it with Soul fire for billions of years, never to be reincarnated!

It's over...

Everything is over...

Since it's death either way...

Since death is inevitable...

Then...

Then let's all die together!

A sickly, hysterical madness instantly replaced all the fear in the Old Ancestor's eyes!

His Dao Heart completely collapsed at this moment!

He turned from extreme terror to a frenzy of mutual destruction!

"Haha... Hahahaha!"

The Old Ancestor suddenly threw his head back and laughed wildly, his laughter filled with despair and malice.

"So what if you're a descendant of the Heaven Burial Palace?!"

"Today, even if I die, this Old Ancestor will drag you down with me!"

"Don't think you'll have it easy either!"

The moment his voice fell, the Old Ancestor performed a mad act that no one expected!

His hands, withered like chicken claws, suddenly rose and ruthlessly stabbed into his own shriveled chest without hesitation!

Puchi!

The tooth-aching sound of tearing flesh rang out!

He actually used his bare hands to rip open his own chest and tear the ribs inside!

Blackish-purple essence blood, emitting a thick aura of decay, surged wildly from his wound!

This was not the end!

"With my true spirit as the guide, with my flesh and blood as the sacrifice!"

"Reverse the universe, blood-feed the abyss!"

The Old Ancestor let out the final, malicious roar of his life!

Following his roar, the decayed essence blood he had accumulated over a hundred thousand years poured into the earth beneath his feet like a bursting flood!

Buzz—!

The entire dark hall underwent a sudden, violent change!

Those crimson Formation lines that had originally lit up on the walls all turned into a bottomless pitch-black in an instant!

The entire grand array's operational trajectory was forcibly reversed by the Old Ancestor at the cost of his own destruction!

The array, originally meant to extract Zi Yun's true spirit and sacrifice it to the abyss, turned its aim at this moment!

It began to madly extract the Old Ancestor's own true spirit and flesh at a terrifying speed!

The Old Ancestor's already withered body could be seen shriveling and shrinking rapidly by the naked eye!

His flesh, his bones, his true spirit, his everything—within a few short breaths, they were all drained by the array and turned into the purest energy, which was then poured into the ground!

Boom—!

In the center of the hall, the stone platform where the Old Ancestor had sat for ten thousand years collapsed with a deafening crash!

Immediately after, a bottomless black crack that seemed capable of swallowing all light slowly opened on the ground, accompanied by the piercing sound of tearing space!

That was the "God-Burial Abyss"!

Whoosh—!

A burst of extreme black mist, thick as ink and capable of melting the flesh and bones of even an Immortal Emperor, erupted from the crack!

Everywhere the black mist passed, the hard bronze floor emitted a sizzling corrosive sound and let out puffs of white smoke!

The entire hall was instantly filled with a thick, fishy stench that was ancient, decayed, and evil to the extreme!

From beneath the abyss, low roars that seemed capable of shaking the human heart could be heard faintly!

"Husband..."

Zi Yun felt that great terror from the depths of her Soul; her beautiful face turned pale, and she subconsciously hugged Su Yun's arm tightly, her delicate body trembling slightly.

Just a trace of the aura leaking from that crack made her, an expert about to achieve a Breakthrough to Immortal King, feel the threat of death!

However, Su Yun remained as calm and unhurried as ever.

Not only did he have no intention of retreating, but he instead watched this spectacular scene with interest.

With one hand still around Zi Yun's slender waist, he shielded her firmly behind him.

With his other hand, he waved casually.

The terrifying black mist that could corrode an Immortal Emperor's body seemed to have met its nemesis as it drifted before him, automatically parting to both sides, unable to get near him at all.

He looked at the Old Ancestor, who had sacrificed everything just to take him down and was now completely reduced to skin and bones.

With only a sliver of obsession remaining, the Old Ancestor looked as if he were being appreciated as part of a brilliant play.

"Using your own life to feed a beast, just so it can take a bite out of me?"

The mockery at the corners of Su Yun's mouth deepened.

"Old thing, this final struggle of yours is truly... quite unique."

Just as his voice fell!

That abyss crack was suddenly forced open from the inside by an indescribable, massive force!

Boom!!!

Accompanied by an ear-splitting explosion, a... no, a single!

A massive tentacle, its surface covered in dense, sickly green eyeballs,

And constantly dripping with a foul-smelling black slime, erupted from the crack!

Just the exposed section of that tentacle was larger than the entire hall!

The moment it appeared, a terrifying pressure that could destroy everything swept through the space like a physical tsunami!

Those countless sickly green eyeballs turned in unison, instantly locking onto Su Yun and Zi Yun standing in the center of the hall!
