Chapter 640: The slaughter caused widespread panic throughout the Eastern Continent.
"No!! Senior, spare me—!!!"
"Ah!! You old madman! You'll die a horrible death!!"
The three saints let out desperate and shrill screams as they frantically burned the sacred laws within their bodies, attempting to unleash their respective magical treasures to resist.
However, even a casual strike from a Quasi-Emperor at the peak of his power is something that no Saint can withstand!
boom--!
With a muffled thud, a huge cyan handprint crushed the three of them with a devastating force.
What saintly physical body, what saintly magical treasure—before that cyan handprint, they were as fragile as paper toys used to fool children.
puff!puff!puff!
Three blinding clouds of blood mist exploded in mid-air, leaving not a trace of bone fragments or soul behind.
Three powerful Saint Realm experts who held sway over the Eastern Continent were completely reduced to blood mist and perished in this single blow, all because of the Tai Xuan Ancestor's words, "I have no intention of distinguishing right from wrong."
After killing the three insignificant ants, the Grand Ancestor Tai Xuan didn't even glance at the three clouds of blood mist. He withdrew his hand, turned around, and strode off with his withered legs toward the most prosperous center of the Eastern Continent.
From that day on, a death god, who indiscriminately kills without regard for right or wrong, began to roam the land of the Eastern Continent.
……
For the next three days, the entire Eastern Continent was plunged into unprecedented bloodshed and darkness.
The Grand Ancestor Tai Xuan did not unleash any earth-shattering divine power to destroy mountains and rivers. He was like a solitary traveler, carrying the Tai Xuan Cauldron on his head, walking step by step across the territory of the Eastern Continent.
But wherever he went, there was only a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
He doesn't need to distinguish between the innocent and the perpetrators.
As long as a cultivator carries the aura of the three holy lands—the Purple Cloud Holy Land, the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, and the Heavenly Sword Holy Land—whether they are an outer sect servant, an inner sect prodigy, or a saintly elder who oversees a region, once they are caught in his deathly gaze, there is only one fate: death!
A giant branch of the Purple Cloud Holy Land, where an elder at the early stage of sainthood was stationed, who usually acted arrogantly and domineeringly.
On that day, an old man in green robes passed by this place. Just because he sensed a trace of the Purple Heaven Thunder Technique, he simply stood on the cloud and coldly glanced down.
Boom!
That branch pavilion, covering tens of thousands of acres, along with the tens of thousands of disciples of the Purple Cloud Holy Land inside, and even the saintly elder who tried to break through, were all instantly crushed into a pulp by an invisible gravity. The earth collapsed hundreds of feet deep, turning into a blood-red lake.
This is an important resource-rich secret realm within the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, where tens of thousands of powerful demons gather.
The Grand Ancestor Tai Xuan charged into the realm alone, without uttering a word. With a single strike, he cleaved the secret realm and all the demon race beings within in two, their demon blood staining the vast sky crimson.
The three sword saints of the Heavenly Sword Holy Land attempted to join forces to lay a trap and kill the crazed old man.
As a result, without even raising his hand, the Tai Xuan Ancestor merely snorted coldly, and the natal swords in the hands of the three arrogant sword saints shattered inch by inch. They themselves were also devoured by the Emperor's might, bleeding from all seven orifices on the spot, their souls and spirits annihilated.
kill!kill!kill!
The Grand Ancestor Tai Xuan has gone completely mad.
He knew his time was running out, and he wanted to use his remaining life to weaken the power of the three holy lands as much as possible, to avenge the Tai Xuan Holy Land's destruction.
In just three days, seven or eight tenths of the branches, secret realms, and resource points of the three holy lands scattered throughout the Eastern Continent were destroyed by the Tai Xuan Ancestor.
Countless cultivators from the three holy lands died at his hands.
Blood stained almost all the rivers of the Eastern Continent.
The fighting caused widespread panic throughout the Eastern Continent. Countless independent cultivators and small sects closed their gates, trembling with fear, lest they be caught in the crossfire of this battle of the gods.
What's strange is that, faced with the Tai Xuan Ancestor's unbridled and frenzied slaughter, the three holy lands with their profound foundations remained surprisingly silent.
They did not send out any strong warriors to fight the other side.
Those high-ranking officials of the Holy Land who usually shouted that they wanted to unify the Eastern Continent all became cowards at this moment.
The core members, top geniuses, and elders above the saint level of the three holy lands had long since evacuated their original mountain gates through secret channels and hidden in a secret realm of the void.
Clearly, the three holy lands were wary.
They were well aware of just how terrifying a quasi-emperor at the peak of his lifespan, who possessed an ultimate imperial weapon, would be if he went berserk.
It's like someone who's strapped with explosives and has already lit the fuse; anyone who tries to stop him will be blown to pieces.
The three holy lands had a very shrewd plan: since this old madman is about to die, let him kill him!
Those branch offices and ordinary disciples outside, if they die, so be it, as long as the core strength is preserved.
When this old madman's lifespan is completely exhausted, the three holy lands will come out again to take over this devastated Eastern Continent, and they will still be the ultimate winners!
They hid very well; the secret realm was heavily concealed by a quasi-emperor formation, shielding it from all heavenly secrets and cause and effect.
However, they still underestimated the methods and determination of a quasi-emperor at the peak.
Although the Tai Xuan Ancestor could not find the exact location of that secret realm, he was proficient in the supreme secret technique of the Tai Xuan Holy Land—the "Tai Xuan Tracing the Origin Heavenly Secret Technique".
He collected the essence and blood of the disciples of the three holy lands and set up an enormous blood sacrifice altar on the summit of a mountain stained red with blood.
At the cost of burning his already limited lifespan, he forcibly deduced the secrets of heaven, and following the countless threads of bloodline cause and effect, he forcefully tore open a passage to that secret realm in the vast void.
When the dense death aura emanating from the Tai Xuan Ancestor and the supreme imperial might of the Tai Xuan Cauldron descended without warning upon the secret realm hidden deep in the void, all the cultivators from the three holy lands within the secret realm let out desperate wails.
"Found you, a bunch of rats who only know how to hide in the shadows."
The Grand Ancestor Tai Xuan hovered high above the secret realm, looking down at the panicked core leaders of the three holy lands below, a cruel sneer curling at the corner of his mouth.
Boom!
Without any unnecessary words, he directly activated the Tai Xuan Cauldron.
The enormous azure cauldron swelled in the wind, transforming into the size of a star, and with a terrifying power capable of suppressing all realms, it crashed down fiercely into the secret realm below.
"You old devil from the Tai Xuan Holy Land! You've gone too far! Do you really think we're afraid of you?!"
At this critical moment, three terrifying auras, capable of shaking the heavens and tearing apart the universe, suddenly erupted from the depths of the secret realm.
Three beams of light, reaching to the heavens and earth, shot into the sky, forcefully withstanding the devastating blow from the Tai Xuan Cauldron.
Immediately afterwards, three imposing figures exuding overwhelming power emerged from the depths of the secret realm.
These three individuals represent the last remaining strength of the three holy lands.
Three ancestors who had lived for countless years and whose cultivation had reached the Quasi-Emperor realm!
