“The White God has returned!”
The news spread like wildfire, stirring a thousand waves across Fangzhou. When Lu Xuan appeared, clad in his signature white robes, the entire region erupted in a frenzy.
Six months had passed, and the White Robe magnate had reappeared! This time, he cut down One-rotation Quasi-Dao Supremes as effortlessly as swatting a fly. The hearts of all onlookers were filled with terror and awe.
“What on earth did the White Robe Supreme gain inside the Bronze Ancient Palace?” they whispered, utterly bewildered. “How could he become so terrifying?!”
Suddenly, a chilling realization dawned upon them. Across the entire Southern Wilds, only the White Robe Supreme would dare to slaughter Dark Shadow Island with such impunity! This could only mean that the Demon Court and the three major forces of the Holy Alliance had likely already perished.
Innumerable eyes fixated on Lu Xuan, and a deafening roar rose from the crowd.
“White God!”
“The White God is Invincible!”
Lu Xuan offered a faint smile, nodding gently to the people of Fangzhou, then turned his gaze to the depths of the void. “Still not showing yourselves?” he called out, his voice carrying an undeniable, casual dominance.
At his words, Chen Yuan, leading the four remaining assassins, materialized from the shadows. Chen Yuan’s body trembled uncontrollably, fear rendering him utterly speechless. For an assassin, fear was the greatest taboo, yet now, he was powerless to unleash any killing moves. The White Robe expert before him was simply too powerful; Chen Yuan knew he stood no chance.
With a thud, Chen Yuan dropped to his knees. “I pledge my allegiance! I will offer Dark Shadow Island’s ultimate secret arts!”
Seeing their leader’s desperation, the three assassins behind him also knelt, ready to surrender to Lu Xuan in exchange for a chance at Vitality/Life Energy.
Lu Xuan scoffed, a cold chuckle escaping his lips, and brought down a massive palm. “A true expert of Dark Shadow Island, if you had offered a final dance before death, I might have held you in higher regard. But to choose surrender? In my eyes, Dark Shadow Island is nothing more than that.”
Chen Yuan offered a bitter smile, understanding the profound meaning behind Lu Xuan’s words. He let out a long sigh. “An assassin’s final strike is his courage. But before you, I cannot even raise my hand.”
An assassin without courage, how could he kill? Chen Yuan gazed tragically at Lu Xuan. He had once been the successor to a Dark Shadow Monarch, yet now he was destined to Perish here. He was unwilling, but the man before him was simply too powerful, leaving him utterly powerless to fight.
Boom! Lu Xuan’s a single palm strike descended, transforming into a heaven-reaching hand, shimmering with golden light and radiating an incomparably potent Dao Rhyme. Chen Yuan and his companions’ bodies instantly exploded!
Puff, puff, puff! They were Instant Killed!
Blood Splattered through the air, leaving only a few Storage Rings floating amidst the carnage. Lu Xuan casually beckoned, collecting the Storage Rings into his possession.
At this moment, the numerous experts of Fangzhou finally reacted, frantically Stepping into the void and soaring towards the fallen bodies, eager to retrieve any remaining Storage Rings for Lu Xuan. Soon, a venerable white-bearded elder from Fangzhou respectfully presented dozens of Storage Rings. “White God!”
Lu Xuan took the Storage Rings, then casually tossed a few back. “They’re yours,” he said indifferently. The white-bearded elder was stunned. “White God, you mustn’t! You mustn’t! Your three disciples still need to grow, and they are precisely at a time when they lack cultivation resources!”
Lu Xuan’s lips curved into a slight smile. “They don’t lack these paltry trinkets.”
The crowd was utterly dumbfounded. These were Storage Rings recovered from Dark Shadow Island magnates, the weakest of which belonged to a Nine-star Great Emperor! These were the very Foundation / Background of their entire faction! Yet, before the White Robe Supreme, they were nothing but trash.
Lu Xuan turned to leave, but the white-bearded elder suddenly knelt in the void, respectfully asking, “White God, where are you headed?”
Lu Xuan replied casually, “Just taking a stroll through the Demon Court and Holy Alliance.”
The elder’s eyes suddenly reddened. “White God, during your absence, the Demon Court and Holy Alliance slaughtered our human great domains, collecting Life Force and leaving rivers of blood. We implore you, please intervene and awe them into submission.”
Lu Xuan simply replied, “I know.”
Boom! In the next instant, Lu Xuan directly activated Spatial Array Patterns. A profound aura surged, and he vanished from his spot.
After Lu Xuan departed, numerous Emperor Realm experts gathered. Their hearts pounded with excitement. “The White God has grown even stronger! The Heaven and Earth Change had no effect on him!”
“In my opinion, this time, the Supreme Path will surely belong to the Grand Dao Sect! In the depths of destiny, it is predetermined. The Grand Dao Sect Ancestor once abandoned the Supreme Fruit Position; now, it is only right that it returns to its rightful owner.”
“How is it that I felt the White God didn’t even exert his full strength when slaughtering the Dark Shadow Island experts?” one mused.
“This is probably not the White God’s true power!” another exclaimed.
The white-bearded elder was equally shocked. Before him, the few Storage Rings Lu Xuan had bestowed floated. “Let’s divide these Storage Rings,” he said. As the Storage Rings were opened, everyone was utterly stunned. One was a One-rotation Quasi-Dao Supreme’s Storage Ring! Another was a Half-step Supreme’s Storage Ring! This was a heaven-defying opportunity!
The strongest in Fangzhou were merely Nine-star Great Emperors, and most were Qi and Blood Withered/Depleted, nearing the end of their lifespans. In that moment, many Great Emperors made their choice. “In this era, I choose to support the Grand Dao Sect! I support the White God!”
They would take a gamble! There would be another Heaven and Earth Change! If the White God continued to dominate all sides then, they would rise alongside the Grand Dao Sect!
A moment later, the white-bearded elder declared, “Spread the news of the White God’s return. Our human race in the Southern Wilds needs to hear this!”
Soon, countless merchant guilds began frantically relaying the news. “The White God is back! Humanity’s sky has returned!” As the news spread, all the domains erupted in a frenzy. The White God had returned from the Bronze Ancient Palace, still Invincible in the Southern Wilds! He was truly a god!
Meanwhile, Lu Xuan had already arrived at the entrance to Dark Shadow Island. Here, a portion of Dark Shadow Island had already Emerged, establishing a Ten-thousand-mile Territory. In just six months, countless pavilions and cave dwellings had been erected.
Boom! Crack! The void tore open, and Lu Xuan stepped out from the spatial rift, radiating the aura of a One-rotation Quasi-Dao Supreme! The Dark Shadow Island experts immediately sensed the terrifying oppressive power above their heads and were instantly alarmed.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Several experts Stepped into the void, Divine Arcs surging beneath their feet, their hearts chilling as they looked at Lu Xuan in the sky. The White Robe Great Emperor? No, he should be called the White Robe Supreme now! What was he doing on Dark Shadow Island?
A Grey-robed Man sneered, slowly stepping forward. “White Robe, shouldn’t you hurry back to see what’s happening at the Grand Dao Sect? You dare to come to my Dark Shadow Island? Are you tired of living?!”
Lu Xuan raised his hand and waved. A Divine Radiance streaked across the void, like a falling star river.
Swoosh! The speed was astonishing. Before the Grey-robed Man could even react, his head flew off! Blood Splattered!
The other experts were utterly stunned! That Grey-robed Man was a One-rotation Quasi-Dao Supreme! He was Instant Killed just like that?
In the next instant, Lu Xuan waved his hand again, and another Divine Radiance shot forth, killing intent trailing like a shadow. The few Half-step Supremes in the air were also instantly wiped out!
Witnessing this scene, the Dark Shadow Island forces on their territory were utterly petrified. When had this White Robe become so terrifyingly powerful?
While everyone was still in a daze, Lu Xuan brought a single palm strike down towards Dark Shadow Island’s Ten-thousand-mile Territory. “Did I give you permission to Emerge?” he asked, his voice dripping with absolute contempt.
