Vanguard!
Leader!
Flag-bearer!
The most terrifying power of the Human Race is this indescribable, ineffable quality that always bursts forth with an irresistible will and conviction at critical monts.
Countless tis when the Human Race has neared annihilation and collapse, there have always been so who stand forth to steady the falling edifice.
With a re spark, they start a prairie fire and turn the tables.
Seventeen county cities destroyed simultaneously—it couldn’t possibly be the work of one person.
The only explanation is that a portion of the Righteous Path cultivators heard of that mysterious cultivator’s deeds.
A spark of conviction in their hearts was suddenly kindled.
This spark, led by the mysterious cultivator, fell into the An’ning Holy Nation of the Golden Flower Maternal Sect and might soon beco a blazing fire that engulfs the prairie.
This trend must be extinguished as quickly as possible.
Dismissing the Dharma Laksana behind him, Cao Zhe stood up and left the grand council hall. After walking through a long and narrow corridor, he arrived before a heavily adorned golden door, emanating a rich fragrance of flowers that was almost cloyingly sweet.
The walls on either side of the door were covered with dazzling golden flowers.
Ghostly silhouettes moved within, seeming to be the guards stationed there.
The golden door, thick and sturdy, subtly glimred with Divine Marvel, its edges inscribed with rings of ancient and obscure, constantly shifting, illegible script.
The door seed not so much to prevent those outside from entering, but rather to stop sothing inside from coming out.
Prostrating before the golden door, Cao Zhen placed her hands flat on her thighs, her forehead touching the ground.
"Faithful Cao Zhen seeks an audience with the Sect Hierarch."
In the empty silence before the grand door, Cao Zhen’s voice slowly echoed, passing through the golden flowers on the wall and into the world beyond the door.
About a quarter of an hour passed.
Cao Zhen remained in her prostrate position, motionless.
The golden door, after a lengthy silence, finally quivered slightly and opened just enough to allow a single person to pass through.
"Co in..."
The voice, which echoed directly in Cao Zhen’s mind, carried a hint of emptiness and ethereality, as if coming from a distant place, yet as though it were right beside your ear.
Standing up, Cao Zhen silently straightened her attire, then stepped through the golden door before him.
Behind the door lay a glittering, boundless starry sky.
The stars shimred with multicolored light.
And directly in front of this starry expanse, a monuntal altar, rising over ten thousand feet high and built from square golden bricks, stood majestically in the star-sea, radiating blinding brilliance.
At the very top of the altar, a man partially clothed in a long red robe, his lower body buried amidst golden flowers, with half his face covered by a strange wooden mask, slowly opened his eyes.
Who would have thought that the Golden Flower Sect Leader of the Golden Flower Maternal Sect, which brought disaster to Dianchuan Province, would actually be a man.
"What brings you... to seek ..." Looking down from the altar, the Golden Flower Sect Leader slowly spoke, his voice emanating from the depths of the starry space, carrying an air of superiority and disdain for all living beings.
After reporting the current situation of the An’ning Holy Nation, Cao Zhen kept her head bowed, not daring to look directly at the man before him. "Nowadays, many Righteous Path cultivators are emulating this person’s actions. If this cannot be resolved promptly, it may shake the foundation of our Holy Nation. Please, Sect Hierarch, grant a thod to locate this individual and eradicate this nace from our Holy Nation."
Hearing Cao Zhen’s report, the golden flowers beneath the Golden Flower Sect Leader trembled slightly, and within monts, several flowers withered, turning into fine powder.
A flicker of surprise in his eyes, the Golden Flower Sect Leader murmured to himself, Hm... This lad... is protected by Human Path rit... and his fate is extraordinary as well...
Ti passed in silence. Cao Zhen, who had been waiting quietly, felt a hint of perplexity as the Sect Hierarch provided no response.
As if possessed by a ghost, she suddenly lifted her head.
But in the mont she raised her head, a pair of eyes, containing dazzling starry skies, suddenly appeared before her, and a vast and profound Divine Marvel Power invaded her body, uncontrollably seizing control.
With an almost brutish deanor, it forcibly took over her body’s control.
Her eyes turned to chaos. Cao Zhen stood frozen in place, a vivid, radiant golden flower slowly erging on her forehead.
"I’ll borrow your body for a bit, and return it once I’m done."
Raising her arm to inspect the body, Cao Zhen... no, the Golden Flower Sect Leader touched her cheek, then suddenly applied force with her five fingers.
She gruesoly tore off the hideously strange face.
The flesh writhed, and a new face ford.
Transitioning into an incredibly beautiful and pitiable visage, the Golden Flower Sect Leader revealed a trace of satisfaction.
I’ve not walked this world in a long while. I wonder what the earth and skies are like now?
A mischievous smile curled at the corner of her lips as the Golden Flower Sect Leader elegantly walked towards the golden door.
However, just as she reached out to touch the door, preparing to push it open, the ancient script on the door burst into brightness, and the golden flowers on the surrounding walls began rustling. The figures hidden in the blooms stepped out to push the door closed again.
Her hands scorched by the door’s radiance, emitting plus of white smoke, the Golden Flower Sect Leader remained unfazed, rely glancing back indifferently at the man atop the altar, now fallen into a slumber, and uttered lightly, The centipede dies but never falls. While alive, you couldn’t stop , let alone as a corpse.
Her eyes shifted, and the imprint of the golden flower on the Golden Flower Sect Leader’s forehead suddenly burst forth with infinite brilliance. An ancient and profound hum carrying the aura from Outside the Domain perated the void.
Under the eerie erosion of this chanting, the seemingly solid gold door began to corrode at a speed visible to the naked eye, its script slowly being worn away.
Even those transparent phantoms blocking the door outside began to emit painful grunts, gradually dissipating into nothingness.
The standoff lasted less than a few minutes.
The massive golden door, weighing tens of thousands of catties, turned into a pile of gray-brown rust powder, and the golden flowers around the walls withered away, leaving no trace of any human presence.
Barefooted, she slowly stepped outside the doorway.
With arms outspread, she quietly savored the outside air, and the corners of the Golden Flower Sect Leader’s mouth slowly lifted into a smile. "This taste... simply delicious..."
「Outside Heiyan County City.」
Thunder roared, shaking the earth for hundreds of miles around.
Leaping into the air and transforming into a vast expanse of righteous Lei Mang, stirring up terrifying fire clouds stretching for hundreds of miles, Qi Xiu and the Golden Flower Grand Archbishop from Heiyan County City clashed fiercely.
His eyes were sharp, his gaze solemn and focused.
Raising his hand, he cast dozens of Bing Fire Divine Thunders as thick as water buckets, tearing through the void, chasing the Golden Flower Grand Archbishop in a mad onslaught.
Who would have thought that an Initiate Realm cultivator could chase and corner a Blood-Stained Realm great cultivator, who was leaping about in utter horror?
"Spare ! As long as you let go, I’ll do anything you want," his body charred and cracked from the Divine Thunder, and with a huge explosive head of hair, the Golden Flower Grand Archbishop cried out shrilly for rcy.
Damn it! I must have had the worst luck for eight lifetis.
With bitterness in her mouth and wanting to cry without tears, the explosive-haired Grand Archbishop had not expected Qi Xiu’s sudden arrival without the slightest warning.
Without a word, he cast a Thunder Magic that could bring disaster to the entire city.
The Shenxiao Sect’s Five Thunder Orthodox Skill, unparalleled in power.
Under the infinite True Gang from the Innate Mixed Yuan Holy Body, its power surged exponentially.
It beca Qi Xiu’s formidable capital for slaying opponents beyond his level!
A common Thunder Law Cultivator facing enemies would usually cast one Divine Thunder at a ti.
But with Qi Xiu, a flick of his sleeve would unleash dozens or even hundreds of surging, world-destroying scarlet Lei Mang.
An all-encompassing Divine Thunder filled the heavens and the earth, leaving no escape, no avoidance.
Even the Dharma Gates unleashed by a Blood-Stained Realm great cultivator could not withstand such a barrage of Divine Thunder!
This is the might of the King of All Techniques!
Ever since achieving the Blood-Stained Realm, the Golden Flower Grand Archbishop had never fought such a frustrating battle.
This is simply pure bullying! So, you think you’re great because you know Thunder Magic?
Oblivious to the Grand Archbishop’s pleas for rcy, Qi Xiu’s eyes burned like torches, and with a rub of his hands, the Black Water True Skill roared into action.
Within the roiling thunder clouds, tons of heavy, dark water poured down.
The mixing of thunder and water instantly created a tumultuous Sea of Thunder, catching the frantic Golden Flower Grand Archbishop off guard and swallowing her whole.
The Sea of Thunder subrged her, and the Grand Archbishop scread continuously.
While the Blood-Stained Realm is known as the Undying Realm, capable of infinite physical recovery and extrely hard to kill, that immortality hinges on the premise that one’s Tao Blood has not been exhausted.
Trapped in the Sea of Thunder, with each passing mont, terrifying Lei Mang relentlessly shattered and obliterated every cell in the Grand Archbishop’s body.
And the penetration of thunderous lightning made her whole body numb, making even the simplest movents sluggish, let alone breaking free.
Seeing the Grand Archbishop entangled in the Thunder Magic, Qi Xiu waved his sleeves, and from within, countless golden lights blood and flew out.
It was none other than thousands of "Suppress" Character Talismans!
The might of these Divine Talismans was on par with Qi Xiu’s own power.
Now that Qi Xiu had reached Dao-Entering Realm Complete, the power of the Suppression Character Talisman had also improved. Thousands of Suppressing Talismans tightly bound the Grand Archbishop, the golden light interconnecting and forming nurous sturdy, solid chains.
The Suppression Talisman Seal Skill!
As the golden chains snapped into place, the Grand Archbishop, who had just been struggling fiercely, suddenly beca motionless.
She lay floating on the Sea of Thunder like a piece of driftwood, her eyes closed, her breath gone.
An Initiate Realm cultivator had captured a Blood-Stained Realm great cultivator.
A tale so unbelievable that not even wild, apocryphal novels would dare to contrive it.
At this mont, however, Qi Xiu had made it a reality with his own hands.
Looking at the Golden Flower Grand Archbishop sealed by the Suppression Talisman Seal Skill, Qi Xiu nodded slightly, swept her up with a wave of his sleeve, and then leaped into the air, transforming into mist and disappearing from the spot in an instant.
「Half a day later.」
Thousands of miles away in a desolate cottage amidst the mountains and wilderness.
Qi Xiu flicked his fingers, sparking a fla on the firewood in front of him. A bright fire blazed up swiftly, bringing a hint of warmth to the chilly, damp, and musty-slling room.
Gazing at the sealed Golden Flower Grand Archbishop before him, Qi Xiu’s eyes shifted, and the proficiency panel erged slowly.
In the center of this panel, the previously existing Banner of Thousand Souls and Bones had disappeared.
In its place was a na filled with a heavy, ancient aura of demonic nature:
White Bone Demonic Dao!
