40: The Chaos Cauldron emerges, and reinforcements rush from a thousand miles away.

Just as the Heavenly Secret Master's withered finger was about to touch Chu Yuning.

Chu Yuning, who had been quiet as if asleep, suddenly opened her eyes!

They were a pair of eyes that defied all description.

They held no focus, no emotion.

All they contained was a sheet of Chaos.

They seemed to hold the most Origin Dao and principles from the time before Heaven and Earth were separated, when the Universe was still Grandmist.

The moment those eyes opened.

The entire world seemed to freeze.

The wind stopped.

Light solidified.

Time, at this moment, lost all meaning.

The smile on the Heavenly Secret Master's face froze.

He discovered in horror that his body was completely unable to move!

No!

It wasn't that he couldn't move!

Rather, under the gaze of those Chaos eyes, he, an old monster who had lived for over a thousand years and was a Middle Stage Nascent Soul, felt emotions named "insignificance" and "awe" rise from the deepest part of his Soul!

It was as if he wasn't facing a newborn baby.

But a piece of Heaven and Earth, a Great Dao, the supreme Origin Law of this world!

"This... this is... an Innate Dao Body?! No! This is no longer just an Innate Dao Body! This is... a Dao Incarnation?!"

Unprecedented turbulent waves crashed in the Heavenly Secret Master's heart!

He finally understood what a foolish mistake he had made!

This kind of existence was absolutely not something he could covet!

Forget about him, a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator; even if a Soul Transformation Stage expert, or even a legendary mighty expert Undergoing Tribulation, were to come, they would only be slightly larger ants before this "Dao Incarnation"!

He wanted to flee!

He wanted to immediately, right now, escape this place!

The farther, the better!

However, he couldn't.

Under the gaze of those Chaos eyes, his Divine Soul, his magic power, everything he had, was firmly locked in place.

He could only watch helplessly.

Watching the infant slowly raise her small, tender hand.

And then, lightly point a finger at him.

There was no earth-shattering might.

There was no world-destroying Aura.

Just this gentle, single point.

Crack.

A soft sound.

The Heavenly Secret Master discovered in horror that a tiny crack had appeared on his indestructible Nascent Soul body, which he had cultivated painstakingly for a thousand years!

Immediately following.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The cracks spread wildly across his body like a spiderweb!

"No—!!!"

A massive fear of death, stemming from the depths of his Soul, instantly engulfed the Heavenly Secret Master!

He let out the most mournful and despairing roar of his life!

He wanted to beg for mercy, kowtow, and do anything to save his life!

But it was too late.

Under that single point, everything was already decided.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound.

The Heavenly Secret Master, this Nascent Soul Stage old monster who had dominated the vicinity of Tianfeng Prefecture for centuries and struck fear into countless hearts, silently turned into a handful of dust right there in the Chu Family's great hall.

His body and Divine Soul were extinguished.

Not a single trace remained.

With the death of the Heavenly Secret Master, the terrifying power that had confined the entire world also dissipated.

The world resumed its flow.

Lin Waner and Qing'er stared blankly at the unbelievable scene before them, their minds having completely shut down.

Dead?

That terrifying, god-like old Daoist priest who had driven them to despair and left them powerless to resist... was just dead?

Killed... killed by their newborn daughter with a single glance and a single finger?

Was this a dream, or had they died and were experiencing an illusion?

And the "culprit" who had just accomplished all this, Chu Yuning, slowly restored the clarity and innocence appropriate for a baby in her Chaos eyes after pointing the Heavenly Secret Master to death.

As if she had exhausted all her strength, her small mouth drooped, and with a "Waaah," she burst into tears.

The crying was full of grievance and exhaustion.

"Yuning!"

Lin Waner was the first to react. She scrambled over, hugging her daughter tightly, her heart aching as tears streamed down her face.

"Good daughter, don't cry, don't cry, Mommy is here."

She held her daughter tightly, feeling her warm, tiny body, and only then did her suspended heart finally settle.

They were alive.

They were all still alive.

Just at this moment.

Buzz—!

The space in the Chu Family's great hall suddenly twisted violently!

A dazzling white light flashed!

A figure radiating monstrous rage and endless killing intent appeared in the center of the hall!

The person who arrived was none other than Chu He!

Using the Thousand Mile Divine Travel Talisman, he finally made it back at the last moment!

"Waner! Qing'er! Children!"

The moment he appeared, he saw the mess in the great hall, his two wives with blood still staining their lips, and the two frightened children.

His eyes instantly turned red!

An unprecedented, frantic killing intent erupted from him!

"Who was it?! Who exactly did this?!"

He roared, his Golden Core Stage Divine Sense instantly covering the entire Qingyang City like a raging storm, frantically searching for the damned enemy!

However, he found nothing.

In the entire Qingyang City, besides himself, there was no other Cultivator above the Golden Core Stage.

It was as if the enemy had never appeared.

"Husband!"

Lin Waner and Qing'er, seeing Chu He return, could no longer hold back. Holding their children, they rushed into his embrace and wept loudly.
