155: Destroyed in one move

“Hehehe, Xu Tianao, do you take this old woman for a three-year-old child? If I tell you the whereabouts of the heart of the great earth right now,

I fear the moment you break free from the Heavenly Dao's constraints, you'll immediately strike me down. A beauty like me, possessing such captivating looks and the aura of a married woman,

wouldn't I just be turned into a Cauldron, tortured until I wish for death? If my Zhaozhao ever found out, wouldn't he be utterly disgusted and never love me again?”

Hearing what the woman inside the valley said, Xu Tianao was speechless.

If anyone in the world could so shamelessly boast about their own beauty, the woman before him was definitely the first.

Since this woman descended into the Spirit Realm from the Outer Domain Rift hundreds of years ago, her temperament has been completely uncontrollable.

However, the woman in the valley was right about one thing: he definitely wouldn't let her leave, because the Dao Source power she possessed was as vast as an abyss, and absorbing it would surely cause his cultivation to skyrocket.

“Dao Immortal truly loves joking. As the Lord of the Spirit Realm, how dare I do anything to harm the Dao Immortal?”

“Do you even believe that yourself?”

“Regardless of what the Dao Immortal thinks, I stand by my words: as long as the Dao Immortal helps me break free from the Heavenly Dao Shackles, I will certainly let the Dao Immortal depart.”

“Ahahaha.”

Inside the Empty Valley Forbidden Land, a woman's clear laughter rang out.

“Fine, it's not difficult for me to tell you the method to obtain the heart of the great earth, but you must help me accomplish two tasks. As soon as one is completed, I will tell you how to obtain the heart of the great earth.”

“Dao Immortal, please speak. I will definitely carry it out.”

“The first task: help me inquire about two people. They came to this world with me and haven't been seen for hundreds of years.”

“Who are they?”

“Their identities are special, so I can only tell you partial characteristics: one carries the Ancestral Dragon Emperor Qi, and the other possesses Sword Intent Reaching Through the Ages.”

Xu Tianao: “Good, I agree, Dao Immortal. What is the other matter?”

“The second task: there is an ice phoenix statue in the Ice and Snow Sect of the Snow Domain. You must find a way to kill the person Sealed within the statue.”

“Complete either of these two tasks, and I won't mind giving you the method for creating the heart of the great earth.”

Xu Tianao: “Good. Please wait here, Dao Immortal. I will certainly complete the tasks you assigned.”

After speaking, Xu Tianao's Light Cluster flew directly away from the Holy Land.

“Alas~”

As soon as he left, a mournful sigh came from the Empty Valley Forbidden Land.

“Zhaozhao, it's been hundreds of years. Did you miss me? I miss you so much. I truly wish you would fill the emptiness in my body and heart.

I wonder if you used the little clothes I left for you. Mhm~ Use them often when you miss me. I don't mind, ah ha~”

...Xu Tianao returned from the Forbidden Ground, intending to immediately start working on the tasks given by the woman inside.

But just then, the Earth Veins of the Spirit Realm underwent violent fluctuations.

“The earth qi is out of control. What is going on?” Xu Tianao was startled. “Never mind that, stabilizing the earth qi is the priority.”

The Light Cluster suddenly burst forth with dazzling Dao Rhyme, slowly descending into the ground along with the cluster itself.

The Dao Rhyme seeped into the earth, instantly transforming into Three Thousand Spiritual Splendors that converged toward the core beneath the ground.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the fluctuating earth qi gradually subsided, and Xu Tianao finally relaxed.

The next moment, the protective Light Cluster dispersed, and a white-haired old man, holding a Scepter, landed lightly on the ground.

“Someone dares to forcefully intrude into the Spirit Realm. What audacity.”

He clenched his hand, and eight figures immediately appeared behind him. Every one of them was a Cultivator above the seventh layer of the Primordial Chaos Realm.

“You eight, rush immediately to the Spirit Realm Entrance. Regardless of who forced their way in, kill without mercy!”

“Understood!”

The eight men answered in unison, instantly turning into Light Rings and flying toward the Spirit Realm Entrance... At the Spirit Realm Entrance, the netherworld chariot abruptly stepped out of the reversed vortex.

Inside the chariot, Su Mengyao took a deep breath and said to Shen Lian, “Revered Master, aren't we being too high-profile? After all, we're on someone else's territory...”

“Silence!”

Before she could finish, Shen Lian immediately cut her off.

“There is no place Shen Lian intends to go that anyone can obstruct. If you think there's a problem with my approach,

then I'll throw you back into the barrier entrance right now, and I hope you can survive the positive and negative contrary gales!”

Su Mengyao immediately fell silent. Even sitting inside the netherworld chariot, she felt lingering fear from the terror of the positive and negative contrary gales within the barrier.

Du Bingyan, however, asked calmly, “Then, Revered Master, where should we go now?”

“Hm?”

Shen Lian mused and gently waved the Folding Fan in his hand.

“A group of ants are approaching!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed out of the carriage curtain and stood in front of the chariot, looking ahead.

Sure enough, eight streaks of flowing light appeared at the end of the sky, immediately surrounding the netherworld chariot.

The leader, holding a Golden Wheel, stepped forward: “We are the Eight Divisions of the Spirit Realm. May Your Excellency tell us why you forcefully intruded into our Spirit Realm!”

Shen Lian was expressionless. He closed his Folding Fan: “There is no place under heaven where I, Shen Lian, cannot go. A small Spirit Realm—where do you get the courage to block my path?”

“Arrogance! Those who force their way into our Spirit Realm shall die! Take a strike from my Yaksha Sword first!”

Suddenly, Yaksha manifested a Gloomy Blood Sword, and with a swing, he blasted it toward Shen Lian.

“Hm?”

With a soft hum, Shen Lian swept his Folding Fan.

Clang——

The sharp Sword Qi immediately vanished into nothingness.

“Is this the strength of the Eight Divisions of the Spirit Realm?”

His tone was contemptuous, his eyes full of provocation.

“Is this the confidence you have to boast so wildly?”

The next moment, Shen Lian fully unleashed his Dao might around him, targeting the eight people.

“I respect the courage you have to provoke my Dao might. Now, you are qualified to die by my hand!”

As the words fell, Shen Lian raised his left hand, and the Spiritual Qi from the four directions swept like a hurricane, gathering entirely into his palm.

“This is bad!”

The Divine Souls of the eight people trembled. Feeling the crisis approaching, they immediately mobilized all their spiritual power, intending to resist.

“great dao human sovereign cauldron!”

As the ultimate Divine Ability was unleashed, a Seven-Colored Dao Cauldron appeared in Shen Lian's palm, and faintly, a Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace Dharma Aspect emerged behind him.

“Annihilate!”

A deep shout, like decreeing the Dao.

Instantly, the entire cultivation of the eight Primordial Chaos Realm Cultivators was continuously sucked into the Dao Cauldron.

“Ah~”

“Ugh~”

The cultivation of the Immortal Realm completely crushed the Foundation of the Primordial Chaos Realm.

Facing absolute power, the eight people had no strength left to resist.

“Who exactly are you!”

“Perish along with that foolish question!”

“No, ah~”

With a scream, their bodies ultimately turned to dust, and their Divine Souls were slowly collected into the human emperor cauldron.

A moment later, eight freshly refined hunyuan pills floated in Shen Lian's palm.

Inside the chariot, the two women, feeling the danger had passed, couldn't help but step outside.

“Revered Master, what happened?”

“It doesn't concern you!”

Shen Lian put away the hunyuan pills and turned to enter the chariot.

“Next, it's time to set off for the Medicine King Glazed Valley. Du Bingyan, are you ready?”

“Yes! Revered Master, I am ready!”

Du Bingyan nodded vigorously... On the other side, Xu Tianao, who was just about to leave the Spirit Realm to gather information, suddenly felt a tremor in his mind.

Seeing the life souls of the Eight Divisions destroyed deep within his Divine Sense, his brow furrowed instantly.

“Eight people, gone so quickly?”

“Who exactly is the person who forced their way into the Spirit Realm!”
