91: Destroying the Taiyi Immortal Sect

"Aaaaaah—!"

"I'm unwilling!!!"

The Extreme Radiance True Fire fell upon them, and shrill screams echoed through the sea of fire.

Emperor bodies were melting, and Emperor souls were wailing.

Li Yudao frantically burned his Emperor blood, attempting to extinguish the flames on his body, but... it was useless.

Old Ancestor Fenhai had already fallen silent.

Li Yudao's Emperor body exploded, turning into a massive fireball; his body and soul were completely annihilated!

Next were the other old fellows... the first, the second... in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the seven Great Emperor Old Ancestors of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, who had once awed the Imperial Continent, along with Sect Master Li Yudao, were all turned to ashes within the Eight Desolations Profound Fire Array, leaving not a single trace behind.

Only after confirming that all seven were dead did the crowd deactivate the Eight Desolations Profound Fire Array.

The sea of fire gradually died down, and the fire dragons dissipated.

The Black Domain returned to a deathly silence.

"Is it over just like that?"

Things had developed so smoothly that everyone found it hard to believe.

However, even if they hadn't set up the Eight Desolations Profound Fire Array, Lin Chen's side had a total of thirteen Great Emperors, plus Li Tiangang, who was a Peak Great Emperor. Their strength far exceeded that of the seven from the Taiyi Immortal Sect, so defeating them wouldn't have been difficult.

It was just that... in a battle of life and death, it would have been hard for their side to avoid casualties.

Moreover, one or two of the seven might have escaped, which was not the result they wanted to see.

"Sect Master Lin, thank you."

Yu Xuanji's voice came through the great sound transmission jade talisman, sounding extremely weak yet carrying a hint of excitement.

Clearly, Yu Xuanji was doing his best to restrain his emotions.

Lin Chen was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "You're still alive?"

"What, do you want me to die that badly?"

"Hahaha, of course not!"

"Sect Master Lin, seriously, thank you." Yu Xuanji's tone suddenly became solemn as he said seriously, "I have waited many years for this opportunity. Today, my wish has finally been fulfilled. I believe Revered Master can finally rest in peace in the afterlife."

"Come to the Misty Rain Tower."

Lin Chen knew what he meant; he was likely going to fulfill the promise he made back then.

"Alright."

He nodded, not refusing.

At this moment, the five Old Ancestors of Yushuang Palace also walked over.

An old woman named Leng Bingning said enthusiastically, "I've heard Jiang Xue mention Sect Master Lin many times. Seeing you today, you are indeed extraordinary! The Taiyi Immortal Sect has now lost its entire foundation. The remaining disciples are at most in the Supreme Realm and are of no concern."

"These matters can be left to Ling Yue and the others to handle."

"If Sect Master Lin doesn't mind, why not come to Yushuang Palace as a guest and let us entertain you properly?"

"What do you think?"

Lin Chen thought about it and realized it made sense.

Jiang Xue had invited him several times before, but because the distance was great, he had never visited Yushuang Palace.

Since he had to go to the Misty Rain Tower anyway, it wouldn't hurt to stop by Yushuang Palace on the way.

He immediately agreed.

Leng Bingning and the others were overjoyed and immediately notified the disciples remaining at Yushuang Palace to start making preparations.

A short while later.

The group steered their warship and slowly headed toward the Imperial Continent... "...This, this... how is this possible?! The life tablets of the six Old Ancestors and the Sect Master... have all shattered?"

In the Life Soul Hall of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, over a hundred Elders were gathered. Looking at the seven shattered life tablets, they were all terrified. Some voices trembled, while others simply collapsed to the ground... A shattered life tablet meant that its owner's life and Dao had ended.

Without the seven Great Emperors, the sky of the Taiyi Immortal Sect had mostly collapsed; it existed in name only.

But... who could kill seven Great Emperors simultaneously?

Just what kind of terrifying existence had the Sect Master and the Old Ancestors provoked to bring about such a cataclysmic disaster?

While they were filled with doubt, a massive sound suddenly came from outside.

"Boom, boom, boom—!!"

Everyone turned pale with fright and rushed out to check the situation.

In the sky, several figures leading a group were fiercely attacking the Sect Protecting Grand Array. Because they were too far away, their faces couldn't be seen clearly, but their cold expressions suggested they were here specifically to annihilate the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

These people didn't give them a chance to speak at all as countless streaks of light descended from the heavens.

The entire Taiyi Immortal Sect shook violently. Before long, the Sect Protecting Grand Array shattered with a 'bang'.

Countless terrifying Spells bombarded the various peaks, lakes, and pavilions. The sky was completely covered by dazzling light, and buildings on the ground collapsed one after another, blown into powder and leaving behind massive craters.

The disciples of the Taiyi Immortal Sect who were hit by the Spells naturally could not escape.

"Stop!"

"Stop it at once!"

"Who are you?!"

"Our Taiyi Immortal Sect has no grievances with you..."

A Supreme Realm Elder charged into the sky in anger. Just as he was about to strike, he was suddenly grabbed by the throat by an invisible giant hand.

"Crack—!"

His throat was crushed instantly, and even his Divine Soul was annihilated.

Before he died, he stared at the person before him in disbelief, struggling to squeeze out a few words: "...Yu... Yushuang..."

After that, he fell into endless darkness... Meanwhile.

Yushuang Palace.

The sea of clouds surged.

Above the sea of clouds was a magnificent and exquisite aurora curtain that spanned the horizon. Seven-colored light flowed like a heavenly river pouring down, shifting silently and illuminating the entire world like a dream.

Below the sea of clouds stood a massive palace constructed from Profound Ice, its entire body crystal clear and snow-white.

The palace reflected the aurora, flowing with seven-colored radiance. Crystalline icicles hung from the eaves like naturally formed glazed jade ornaments.

Occasionally, massive Ice Luans flew gracefully through the air, leaving behind clear and melodious cries.

The air was filled with a pure Spiritual Qi. Breathing it in actually gave one the feeling that their cultivation was slightly improving.

On this trip, Yushuang Palace was closer, so they arrived there first.

In any case, Yu Xuanji wouldn't die anytime soon. It wouldn't be too late to stay at Yushuang Palace for a few days before heading to the Misty Rain Tower.

"Yushuang Palace is truly worthy of being a great sect of the Imperial Continent. It has really opened Lin's eyes."

Lin Chen praised sincerely.

"Sect Master Lin overpraises us."

"Compared to the Wending Sect, Yushuang Palace is far behind."

Several Old Ancestors personally accompanied him, with Nangong Ping, Jiang Xue, Miss Keke, and others following behind, admiring the beautiful scenery of Yushuang Palace with Lin Chen.

"Senior Sister, have Revered Master talk to him!"

Suddenly, Miss Keke urged via sound transmission.

"...Ah, talk about what?"

Jiang Xue was dazed for a moment.

"What else could it be? Proposing marriage, of course!"

"Nonsense! If you dare to speak recklessly, I'll have Revered Master punish you by sending you to the Forbidden Ground to reflect for three years!"

Master had only been joking with her at the time; how could it be taken seriously?

Moreover... she and Sect Master Lin had only met a few times. Perhaps... he never had those kinds of thoughts.

Thinking this, she unconsciously stole a glance toward Lin Chen.

Then... her face turned red in an instant.

Because Lin Chen happened to be looking her way as well. Noticing that Jiang Xue seemed a bit off, he asked with concern, "Miss Jiang, are you alright?"

"...I'm fine."

Jiang Xue took a deep breath, and her expression quickly returned to normal.

Seeing that she was fine, Lin Chen didn't ask further and looked away.

Soon, the group walked onto a rainbow bridge. The sea of clouds surged beneath their feet, creating a breathtaking view.

After crossing the rainbow bridge, they arrived at a palace.

The palace was radiant and colorful, like a dazzling pearl beneath the sky.

The interior of the palace was decorated elegantly and classically. The floor was like a mirror, reflecting the flowing light from the dome. Walking upon it felt like strolling through a galaxy.

On tables made of ten-thousand-year-old warm jade, a sumptuous banquet had long been prepared.

The sounds of silk and bamboo instruments flowed slowly through the palace.

"Sect Master Lin, please."

"Alright."

Lin Chen smiled. Just as he was about to take his seat, the System's notification sounded in his mind—

[Ding! Congratulations Host, the mission to annihilate the Taiyi Immortal Sect has been completed!]
