3: All the desperate struggles are in vain!

Lan Zhan looked at Xuan Tianchen, who stood tall in the sky, his expression turning solemn. "Who exactly are you? How dare you trespass into the forbidden grounds of my Divine Heavens Dao Sect!"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Tianchen sneered, "You blood of the lower realms are not worthy of knowing This Imperial Son's name!"

"Hmph, you certainly have a very arrogant tone," Wu Xian immediately retorted from the side.

Xuan Tianchen looked at him with an indifferent expression, the corner of his mouth curving slightly. "Ignorant child, how long do you think you can live?"

Wu Xian's face froze. "What do you mean by that?"

"What do I mean? Why don't you guess!" Xuan Tianchen chuckled softly.

Then, he thought to himself, "System, what will happen if I forcefully kill the Child of Destiny?"

"Reporting, Host, if you forcefully kill the Child of Destiny, his destiny points can only be converted into villain points at half value."

"Half value? Not bad!" In an instant, Xuan Tianchen's monstrous killing intent erupted.

After all, in Xuan Tianchen's eyes, 0 and 1 were not worth mentioning.

Even without any rewards, he was determined to kill both of them here today.

Xuan Tianchen clasped his left hand behind his back, while his right hand slowly rose as if controlling the universe.

With his low roar, "World in my Palm, suppress!" the entire space immediately trembled violently, and an indescribable pressure converged from all directions.

Under this pressure, a colossal bloody hand suddenly condensed in the void.

The palm was covered in strange patterns, seemingly containing myriad worlds.

The colossal bloody hand, with the force of a thunderbolt, carrying mighty heavenly power, pressed down towards Lan Zhan and Wu Xian.

Facing this sudden attack, Lan Zhan and Wu Xian dared not be careless in the slightest.

Their cultivation, which had only recently entered the Great Ascension Realm, was fully displayed at this moment, and they each summoned their magical artifacts.

The Gentleman's Sword in Lan Zhan's hand glowed, gentle and refined like a gentleman, yet not lacking in sharpness;

Wu Xian's Heaven-Suppressing Sword was as majestic as a heavenly pillar, exuding an aura that suppressed all things.

"Gentleman's Sword, rise!" Lan Zhan roared, and the Gentleman's Sword flew from his hand, transforming into a sharp sword light that pierced directly at the colossal bloody hand.

"Heaven-Suppressing Sword, rise!" Wu Xian followed closely, the Heaven-Suppressing Sword drawing a perfect arc in the air, complementing the Gentleman's Sword's light, forming an unstoppable force.

At this moment, the two combined their strength, both swords striking upwards, like the opening of heaven.

Xuan Tianchen watched this scene and chuckled, "Ants trying to shake a tree, overestimating yourselves!"

Wherever the colossal bloody hand passed, all things were destroyed and turned to dust.

With just one encounter, the Tribulation-Transcending magical artifacts summoned by Lan Zhan and Wu Xian were instantly shattered.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

With their magical artifacts destroyed, both of them immediately suffered severe backlash, spitting out fresh blood.

However, the colossal bloody hand did not weaken in the slightest, still carrying the power of annihilation as it pressed down fiercely.

"Your Excellency, by intruding here and attacking us, are you not afraid of my Divine Heavens Dao Sect's Sect Master and All the Elders?"

"The Sect Master and All the Elders you speak of, This Imperial Son just killed a few of them!"

"What!" Lan Zhan looked incredulous.

Before he could tend to his own injuries, he immediately called out to Wu Xian, "Wu Xian, use the Daoist fusion technique we comprehended!"

"Understood!" Wu Xian responded without hesitation.

Facing such a desperate situation, the tacit understanding and trust between Lan Zhan and Wu Xian, the twin talents of the Divine Heavens Dao Sect, were fully demonstrated at this moment.

With Lan Zhan's furious roar, "Demon Suppressing Guqin, rise!" an ancient and elegant guqin appeared out of thin air.

The body of the guqin glowed with a faint golden light, seemingly containing endless power.

Immediately after, Wu Xian also roared, "Six Paths Ghost Flute, come!" Then, a seemingly ordinary flute appeared in his hand.

However, the flute body emitted a faint ghostly fire, as if six evil spirits were wandering in its holes.

These two magical artifacts were renowned in the Daoist sect, being Tribulation-Transcending grade treasures for suppressing demons and controlling ghosts.

Under the control of Lan Zhan and Wu Xian, they displayed astonishing power.

The sound of the Demon Suppressing Guqin was like heavenly music, yet it contained immense suppressive force;

And the sound of the Six Paths Ghost Flute was like a call from hell, instilling fear in people's hearts.

The two magical artifacts intertwined in the air, forming mysterious runes and patterns, accompanied by increasingly strong energy fluctuations, and a powerful aura emanated from the two magical artifacts.

"Oh, a guqin and flute duet? The destructive power generated has a hint of divine ability, but it's far from enough!" Xuan Tianchen maintained his disdainful posture.

Even if they were Children of Destiny, their meager cultivation and two trashy magical artifacts were not enough to block his palm strike!

And indeed, when the destructive power generated by Lan Zhan and Wu Xian's Daoist fusion technique touched the colossal bloody hand, it instantly annihilated, like a stone sinking into the sea.

What followed was the thunderous explosion of the two magical artifacts.

With this move, the two once again suffered irreversible backlash, flying backwards as if struck by a heavy blow, and crashing heavily to the ground.

At this critical juncture of life and death, although Lan Zhan and Wu Xian were severely injured, their eyes were exceptionally firm.

They knew that facing this astonishingly powerful colossal bloody hand, life and death hung in the balance.

They exerted all their strength, jointly condensing all the power within their bodies into a barrier, attempting to resist this fatal attack.

However, the might of the colossal bloody hand was simply too powerful; their barrier was torn apart in an instant, like paper.

Lan Zhan and Wu Xian were instantly startled. At this moment of life and death, their eyes met, and they nodded in tacit understanding.

Immediately after, they simultaneously made an astonishing decision—to burn their life essence to unleash their most powerful Daoist technique.

"Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, Reverse the Universe!" Lan Zhan roared, and his body instantly erupted with dazzling light, a powerful energy fluctuation emanating from him.

"All Dharmas Return to One, Exterminate Evil and Annihilate Demons!" Wu Xian likewise roared, his body, like Lan Zhan's, also erupting with powerful energy fluctuations.

As the two's powers converged, in an instant, a gigantic Tai Chi symbol, shimmering with righteous light, suddenly appeared above their heads.

"All deathbed struggles are futile. Suppress!"

Xuan Tianchen pressed down fiercely with his palm, and a bloody divine light immediately bloomed, making the colossal bloody hand even more powerful.

The Tai Chi pattern jointly condensed by Lan Zhan and Wu Xian, though glowing, shattered like fragile glass before this immense force.

As the Tai Chi shattered, the powerful bloody annihilating force surged forth like a bursting dam, sweeping over them.

"This is power that transcends the Archaic Continent; you are not from the Archaic Continent!" The weakened Lan Zhan's face was ashen.

Before such power, capable of dominating the entire Archaic Continent, how could their cultivation, which hadn't even entered the Tribulation Transcending Realm, be a match!

Wu Xian, watching this scene from the side, could only roar out his unwillingness, "If you gave us enough time, within the same realm, we might not have lost to you!"

Xuan Tianchen's eyes flashed with disdain, and he smiled indifferently, "Incompetent ants, as expected, are good at finding excuses for their incompetence."

As he spoke, Xuan Tianchen's colossal bloody hand had already struck.

And Lan Zhan and Wu Xian had exhausted all their trump cards at this moment, having no power left to resist, only able to watch death approach.

Just at this critical moment, a golden light suddenly descended, like a miracle.

This light streaked from deep within the Shenxiao Dao Forest, its speed and power so immense that it blocked Xuan Tianchen's colossal bloody hand with a single strike.

For a moment, the two forces collided, and the resulting energy fluctuations caused the entire Shenxiao Dao Forest space to shatter and tear apart.

"Your Excellency comes from the Heavens, why make things difficult for two juniors!" A vicissitudes of life and majestic voice slowly sounded, as if filled with the accumulation of years and wisdom.

Xuan Tianchen looked at his descending palm, blocked by a single strike, and his eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly.

But that was all; after all, the colossal bloody hand was merely a casual strike from him.

A sinister smile crossed Xuan Tianchen's lips, and then he questioned in a low voice, "Presumably, you are the incarnation condensed from those few strands of Dao rhyme!"

"Your Excellency is indeed from the Heavens; your insight is truly extraordinary!" As he spoke, the figure of an old man slowly emerged.

"Haha, True Immortal Realm First Layer, is that your reliance?" Xuan Tianchen looked at the old man and smiled indifferently.

"This old man does not wish to be your enemy, as long as Your Excellency retreats now, everything that happened before will be as if it never occurred!"

"What a joke. This Imperial Son doesn't even put the Heavenly Dao of your Archaic Continent in his eyes, let alone someone of your caliber!"

As Xuan Tianchen laughed heartily, he then swiftly lunged at the old man with a fierce palm strike, with lightning speed!
