Venerable Supreme of Myriad Dragons

Shen Daoxing looked at the ancient bronze bell, slightly surprised. ’What kind of Magical Artifact is this? It actually managed to trap my Great Ming Demon Sparrow.’

Xuan Tianji breathed a silent sigh of relief. He glanced at the golden bronze bell and declared arrogantly, "Let’s see how you fight me without your weapon!"

Suddenly, his figure vanished, and in the next instant, he reappeared above Shen Daoxing’s head.

"Qiankun Borrowing Technique, Great Swastika!"

Xuan Tianji thrust his palm downward.

A colossal swastika shot out, its golden light dazzling. The massive symbol materialized above Shen Daoxing’s head, pressing down on him.

Shen Daoxing smiled faintly. "You think I’m helpless without the Great Ming Demon Sparrow?"

The seven-colored Profound Platform within him began to rotate. Black arcs of lightning flickered as a surge of Venerable Power silently emanated from his body.

Shen Daoxing slowly raised his hand, upon which black arcs of lightning flickered. In the blink of an eye, a Treasure Sword, pitch-black as ink and condensed from Venerable Power, appeared in his hand.

The colossal swastika descended from the sky. The moment it touched the Venerable Sword, the swastika seemed to be erased from existence, vanishing completely.

Xuan Tianji’s eyebrows shot up, and his heart jolted in alarm. The sword in Shen Daoxing’s hand gave off an unprecedented sense of grave danger—one far greater than what he had felt from the Great Ming Demon Sparrow.

Xuan Tianji froze, halting his attack.

Nearby, Nan Xuan shouted anxiously, "Senior Brother, what are you waiting for? Hurry! Attack now! While his Demon Soldier is trapped, kill him quickly!"

Xuan Tianji was silent for a moment.

Then, his expression shifted, becoming incredibly solemn. He looked coldly at Shen Daoxing. "Brat, I don’t care who you are! You have murdered Celestial Profound Disciples, an unforgivable crime. Today, I will cut you down right here and avenge my fallen junior brothers!"

As he spoke, Xuan Tianji raised a Jade Token high toward the sky and slowly announced, "I surrender!"

Shen Daoxing: "???"

Nan Xuan: "???"

Before Shen Daoxing could even react, a beam of light shot down from the sky and enveloped Xuan Tianji. His figure flickered and turned illusory before vanishing completely. He had abandoned the inheritance trial of the Huangliang Tomb and been teleported out.

Shen Daoxing: "..."

’He sure runs fast!’

Shen Daoxing was left speechless. He shook his head with a hint of regret, then turned to look at Nan Xuan.

Nan Xuan: "..."

’My own Senior Brother ran away! What am I still doing here?’ Without a moment’s hesitation, Nan Xuan whipped out his Jade Token and yelled at the sky, "I surrender too!"

Before Shen Daoxing could make a move, a beam of light shot down and teleported Nan Xuan away.

Shen Daoxing: "..."

...

「Outside the Huangliang Tomb.」

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! That person has to be my son, Yingshan! He must have surpassed all of you long ago, when none of you were looking! The one who reached the 7th Floor is definitely my son, Yingshan!"

Patriarch Xu said angrily, still insistent.

Just then, a Xu Family descendant beside him pointed toward the tomb and suddenly shouted, "Patriarch, look! The Third Young Master is about to meet the Second Young Master."

Patriarch Xu turned to look. He saw that the dots of light for the girl in red and for Xu Zheng were in a chase, one fleeing and one pursuing, both heading in Xu Yingshan’s direction.

Seeing this, the Xu Family descendants were overjoyed. "With both the Third and Second Young Masters there, that vixen won’t be able to escape even if she grew wings!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Xu Yingshan’s dot of light suddenly shot forward and collided with Xu Zheng’s.

The two dots of light briefly touched, and then Xu Zheng’s dot winked out and vanished completely.

"???"

"???"

"???"

"What... what just happened? What happened?"

Patriarch Xu turned to the crowd, stunned.

The Xu Family descendants just shook their heads in confusion.

"I told you before, that’s not Xu Yingshan!"

someone said slowly.

"This... this is impossible! Impossible!"

Patriarch Xu’s eyes widened in disbelief. But as much as he refused to accept it, the truth was right there before his eyes, forcing him to confront reality.

"Zheng’er!"

Patriarch Xu cried out in alarm. "You were your father’s last son! All four of you were fine when you arrived, but now not a single one is left! How am I supposed to face your father when I return!"

Suddenly, Patriarch Xu turned angrily to the members of the Celestial Profound Sacred Land. "Yi Xingtian, didn’t you say your people from the Celestial Profound Sacred Land would help Zheng’er? Why haven’t they shown up yet?"

Yi Xingtian was put in an awkward position. "Perhaps they were delayed by some matters. But rest assured, the Celestial Profound Sacred Land gave its word that we would help you kill that vixen and her companion, and we will see it through."

"Look, our people from the Celestial Profound Sacred Land have arrived now."

Suddenly, Yi Xingtian pointed at the tomb. Just after Xu Zheng’s dot of light had vanished, two new dots representing disciples from the Celestial Profound Sacred Land flew over.

However... they had only just arrived when one of the dots suddenly dimmed and disappeared, while the other fled immediately.

Patriarch Xu was dumbfounded. "Yi Xingtian, is this what you call ’helping’?"

"Huh???"

Yi Xingtian was also startled, but he quickly composed himself. "It’s fine. The Celestial Profound Sacred Land has other prodigies. No matter how powerful those two are, they can’t escape being surrounded and eliminated by a group!"

"Look, Fang City and the others have arrived. Every one of them is an elite of the Sacred Land’s Inner Sect. With them on the move, there will definitely be no problem."

As he spoke, he once again pointed at the tomb. Just after Yue Feihan’s dot of light had vanished, five more dots descended.

However, not long after these five dots landed, they all dimmed simultaneously and vanished.

"???"

Patriarch Xu: "???"

Yi Xingtian: "???"

"Yi Xingtian, is this what you meant by ’no problem’? Are these the people from your Celestial Profound Sacred Land?"

Patriarch Xu glared at Yi Xingtian furiously. "If you can’t take care of those two today, you can forget about opening any academy in our Daqian, let alone getting access to the Celestial Essence Spirit Lake."

Yi Xingtian looked astonished. "This is all just an accident! Just an accident!"

But he quickly recovered. "Patriarch Xu, don’t worry. Xuan Tianji is still in there. He is the Saint Heir of Celestial Secret Mountain, the most talented disciple our Sacred Land has produced in centuries. With him there, those two are as good as dead. You can rest easy."

Yi Xingtian’s voice had barely faded.

When a Xu Family descendant beside him cried out, "That person has met Xuan Tianji."

Everyone quickly looked up and saw Shen Daoxing’s dot of light collide with Xuan Tianji’s.

But after only a moment, Xuan Tianji’s dot of light suddenly dimmed and disappeared as well.

"!!!"

Yi Xingtian.

"???"

Patriarch Xu.

"!!!"

"!!!"

"!!!"

Patriarch Xu stared furiously at Yi Xingtian. "Yi Xingtian! Is that your Celestial Profound Sacred Land’s greatest genius in centuries?"
