“I’m back.”
The voice echoed, and everyone looked up at the sky.
The Silent Destruction Sect members’ faces paled slightly. Could it be the White Robe Great Emperor? No way! They’d received intelligence that he was at the Yao Family. They’d barely arrived to launch their sneak attack, and he was already back? How could he be so fast?
In the next instant, Lu Xuan emerged from a spatial rift, his white robes billowing around him, a faint divine radiance shimmering about his form. Mysterious Supreme Dao patterns swirled around him, and the very heavens and earth rumbled in acknowledgment. He made no attempt to hide his aura—the power of a One-rotation Quasi-Dao Supreme!
Everyone gasped, stunned. The White God had returned? And so quickly!
Dao Feng Old Ancestor’s face was a mask of disbelief. “The White Robe Daoist Friend is truly unfathomable!” he exclaimed. They had just contacted Dao Yuan Old Ancestor, and in the blink of an eye, the White Robe Daoist Friend was here! He strongly suspected Lu Xuan had carved powerful spatial array patterns onto Azure Mystery Peak itself.
At this moment, Lu Xuan scanned his surroundings, his expression subtly shifting. The Grand Dao Sect Old Ancestors lay gravely wounded, their bodies tainted by Eerie Power, Ominous Power, and even Silent Destruction Power. Across every spiritual peak, disciples lay pale and weakened, their life force rapidly draining, corrupted by the insidious aura of these forbidden energies.
Dao Feng Old Ancestor cried out, “White Robe Daoist Friend, be careful! This forbidden power is incredibly tricky to deal with.”
Lu Xuan remained utterly unconcerned. “No worries,” he said coolly.
The Silent Destruction Sect members exchanged uneasy glances, halting their advance and looking to You Quan Old Ancestor. The White Robe Great Emperor was here. Should they continue the fight, or cut and run?
You Quan Old Ancestor stared intently at Lu Xuan, trying to pierce through his defenses, but found him veiled by a mysterious power, utterly inscrutable. Yet, he noticed Lu Xuan stood exposed in the void, seemingly full of flaws. He had come to the Grand Dao Sect as a suicide warrior! The Silent Destruction Old Man’s command was clear: ensure the Grand Dao Sect members were infected with both forbidden powers! The White Robe Great Emperor’s arrival meant escape was likely impossible, but if he could taint the White Robe Great Emperor with the forbidden powers, his mission would still be accomplished. With this thought, You Quan Old Ancestor let out a cold snort.
He slammed his palm down, and the Ancient Iron Furnace in the distance shot towards them. Terrifyingly eerie Dao patterns pulsed across its surface, making it resemble a colossal black mountain. As it moved, the Eerie Power and Ominous Power within it transformed into a surging black torrent, roiling across the void. He fixed his gaze on Lu Xuan, a sneer twisting his lips. “I possess both forbidden powers now. What makes you think I fear you, White Robe Great Emperor?”
Lu Xuan looked at You Quan Old Ancestor as if he were an idiot. “And then?” he drawled.
You Quan Old Ancestor sneered. “Then let’s see if you have the means to contend with Eerie Power and Ominous Power!” As his voice fell, the Ancient Iron Furnace in his hand continued to expand, and the vast, forbidden power it contained poured down directly onto Lu Xuan’s head, like a black river cascading from the sky.
Ten thousand zhang!
Five thousand zhang!
…
Five hundred zhang!
Lu Xuan remained standing in the void, completely unmoving, making no attempt to dodge. Seeing this, Dao Feng Old Ancestor cried out, “White Robe Daoist Friend, quickly, get out of the way!”
But Lu Xuan was unperturbed. Boom! The black torrent of forbidden power engulfed Lu Xuan, roaring like a black dragon. You Quan Old Ancestor frowned slightly. “Is the White Robe Great Emperor trying to absorb this forbidden power himself, to protect the Grand Dao Sect?” he murmured. Another Silent Destruction Old Ancestor added, “Forbidden Power, no one in the Southern Wilds can break it. Perhaps Xuanji Holy Lord found a way to suppress it, but no one can touch it and emerge unscathed.”
The Grand Dao Sect members watched the void in utter shock. The White Robe Great Emperor was powerful, yes, but this was forbidden power!
Just then, a Silent Destruction Old Ancestor gasped, “Look! The black river around the White Robe Great Emperor is disappearing!” You Quan Old Ancestor’s brows furrowed. “What in the hell is happening?” Suddenly, Lu Xuan stepped out of the black river, Eerie Power and Ominous Power oozing from his eyes, nose, and mouth. Everyone was dumbfounded. Lu Xuan was devouring the two forbidden powers! How was this possible? Was he insane?!
At that moment, Lu Xuan reached out a massive hand, grabbing the Ancient Iron Furnace above his head. He tilted the furnace, and the terrifying power within poured out directly. He caught it with his mouth, drinking it down like fine wine! As the Eerie Power and Ominous Power surged into his body, his Myriad Laws Immunity instantly activated, transforming all of it into micro-particles that vanished without a trace. It was utterly useless against him!
Soon after, Lu Xuan punched the Ancient Iron Furnace. The endless, brilliant Dao patterns on its surface shattered instantly, and the massive furnace body exploded into countless fragments, scattering in all directions. Everyone watched in disbelief—the Ancient Iron Furnace was completely devoid of forbidden power!
Lu Xuan looked at You Quan Old Ancestor. “Any more?” he asked casually.
The Silent Destruction Sect members were utterly stunned. The White Robe Great Emperor wanted to devour more? This was, without a doubt, the most terrifying thing they had ever witnessed in their lives! The Ancient Iron Furnace had contained a vast amount of Eerie Power and Ominous Power, and now the White Robe Great Emperor had swallowed it all. And he was completely unharmed!
You Quan Old Ancestor stared, aghast. “How did you do that?”
Lu Xuan didn’t bother to answer. He simply extended a massive hand towards You Quan Old Ancestor and his cohorts! Boom! An incomparably colossal palm print manifested, blotting out the sky, thousands of zhang wide, like an entire great domain, like a falling star. The lines on the giant palm were clearly visible as it descended upon You Quan Old Ancestor and the others.
You Quan Old Ancestor and the others were horrified. This giant palm contained a power they couldn’t even begin to comprehend! The Silent Destruction Sect members frantically unleashed their defensive Spirit Weapons, array plates, and talismans. Brilliant Dao patterns formed a massive, dome-shaped shield. But it was useless! Utterly useless!
Boom! Crack! The giant palm descended, reducing everything to dust! You Quan Old Ancestor’s body was instantly pulverized into a mist of blood, exploding in the void. One after another, the Silent Destruction Sect members burst apart! All instantly killed! Blood splattered everywhere!
The heavens and earth fell into a dead silence.
The Grand Dao Sect members watched Lu Xuan, dumbfounded. So powerful! Truly worthy of being the number one figure in the Southern Wilds! In their eyes, the Silent Destruction Sect members were an insurmountable force, yet Lu Xuan had annihilated them all with a single palm strike!
At this moment, Lu Xuan, his white robes billowing, a faint divine radiance still shimmering around him, calmly turned. He looked at the sinister black mist still lingering for tens of thousands of miles around the Grand Dao Sect. He took a deep breath! Whoosh! Like a whale swallowing the ocean, the dense black mist was inhaled directly into Lu Xuan’s nose. Before long, the heavens and earth returned to their pristine, clear blue. The Eerie Power and Ominous Power had completely vanished!
Everyone watched, utterly dumbfounded. What kind of Power of Creation was this? It was simply unfathomable!
Lu Xuan turned to Dao Feng Old Ancestor and the others. “Next, we’ll deal with the Eerie Power and Ominous Power within your bodies.” Dao Feng Old Ancestor asked, “White Robe Daoist Friend, what should we do?” Lu Xuan replied, “Everyone, sit cross-legged.” He was about to activate his Heaven-Reaching Medical Dao Power to heal the two forbidden powers within their bodies. Instantly, every member of the Grand Dao Sect sat down cross-legged. The Sword Peak Master gently caressed his spiritual sword, sword intent surging. The Misty Peak Master’s beautiful eyes narrowed, her delicate body trembling slightly, her chest heaving. The Body Tempering Peak Master, stripped to the waist, gritted his teeth. “White Robe Senior, bring it on!” Lu Xuan smiled faintly, a hint of amusement in his eyes. “If you can’t hold it in later, feel free to shout it out!”
