“I’m invincible!” Lu Xuan murmured.
No more need for those Two-rotation Quasi-Dao Supreme Experience Cards. Xuanji Holy Lord would soon step into the One-rotation Quasi-Dao Supreme realm. Returning to her peak using the Dao of Eerie Scripture would be as easy as flipping a hand for his fourth disciple.
Just then, a dozen or so Sikong Family Old Ancestors tore through the void, descending upon the Eerie Abyss.
Boom!
Above them, terrifying pressure surged, the Sikong Family’s unique cultivation techniques manifesting as a profound storm, actively repelling the Eerie Power.
A Grey-robed Old Ancestor gazed down at the massive vortex in the deepest part of the Eerie Abyss. “These Yunlan Sect people can actually cultivate using Eerie Power?” he mused.
“And judging by these Heaven and Earth Phenomena, the technique they’ve comprehended seems no weaker than our Sikong Family’s own!”
Excitement flickered in the eyes of the others. “Indeed! Born from desperation, we imprisoned the Yunlan Sect here in the Eerie Abyss, and never expected such a pleasant surprise!”
Soon, several black-robed elders emerged from the Eerie Power mist, flying up to respectfully bow to the Sikong Family Old Ancestors. “Old Ancestors, our Sikong Family is about to reap a massive harvest this time!”
The Grey-robed Old Ancestor stroked his beard, a smile spreading across his face. “Your report was timely; you’ve earned a great merit! Once we return to the ancestral land, I can help you advance your cultivation by an entire major realm!”
“Thank you, Old Ancestor!” The elders were ecstatic.
Countless eyes fixed on the storm within the Eerie Abyss. There, the black Eerie Power was drawn by an invisible force. Driven by the Dao of Eerie Scripture, its fundamental essence was being continuously refined by Xuanji Holy Lord. An indescribable, profound sensation permeated the very fabric of this space.
The Sikong Family Old Ancestors were utterly shocked.
“This isn’t just suppressing Eerie Power.”
“This… this seems to be refining Eerie Power!”
“What kind of technique is this?”
The Old Ancestors exchanged glances, their hearts filled with profound awe.
The leading Grey-robed Old Ancestor’s gaze burned with avarice. “These Yunlan Sect people comprehended such a heaven-defying technique on our Sikong Family territory! This technique naturally belongs to our Sikong Family! With such a technique, our Sikong Family could seize another Supreme Fruit Position from the Ji Family in this era!”
Everyone grew agitated. In the Eastern Wilds, the Ji Family’s research into Eerie Power was naturally the most comprehensive. But this technique, from what they could see, seemed capable of rivaling the Ji Family’s!
For a moment, all eyes in the Eerie Abyss were drawn to the towering storm in the distance.
However, among the many chained cultivators on the periphery, there was no envy in their eyes, only deep sighs.
“Alas, what good is creating such a heaven-defying technique? They’ll still be slaves to the Sikong Family.”
“Everything will be for naught, merely serving the Sikong Family’s purpose!”
“This is Sikong Family territory. Below the Supreme realm, all are but pawns for the Sikong Family!”
“…”
Half a day later, a heaven-reaching aura erupted once more from the Eerie Abyss.
A terrifying suction force burst forth from Xuanji Holy Lord’s location, and all the Eerie Power transformed into a torrent, surging towards her.
Everyone was stunned. It seemed the Eerie Power throughout the entire abyss had significantly thinned!
The Sikong Family Old Ancestors were not only shocked but also overjoyed. “Which Yunlan Sect Old Ancestor is it? With such a heaven-defying technique, they’re actually breaking through to One-rotation Quasi-Dao Supreme!”
They knew they had imprisoned over a dozen Yunlan Sect Old Ancestors here, including Half-step Supremes and even One-rotation Quasi-Dao Supremes. To think that after a century, someone had actually broken through!
Several hours later, the tempest in the Eerie Abyss finally subsided.
Xuanji Holy Lord, clad in a purple dress, sat cross-legged deep within the abyss. Her white hair radiated brilliant divine light, Eerie Power swirled around her, and a hint of relief graced her exquisite features.
Finally, she had returned to the One-rotation Quasi-Dao Supreme realm!
Truly worthy of the Supreme-tier technique her Master had given her! It was far too heaven-defying!
And this Dao of Eerie Scripture was still incomplete. She couldn’t imagine how much faster her cultivation speed would become once it was perfected.
Just then, several Sikong Family Old Ancestors appeared above Xuanji Holy Lord, their voices grave.
“Since you’ve broken through, hand over the technique you comprehended! For this, we shall consider it a great service from your Yunlan Sect.”
Silence. No response came from the Eerie Abyss.
The Grey-robed Old Ancestor’s face darkened. “You have ten breaths to consider. Hand over the technique!”
“Scram!” Xuanji Holy Lord’s icy voice echoed out.
Hearing this, the Sikong Family members were all stunned.
A woman’s voice? They didn’t recall imprisoning any female powerhouses here. This voice was completely unfamiliar to them!
One Old Ancestor asked, “Could it be a powerhouse from another faction who broke through here? Not a Yunlan Sect Old Ancestor?”
The Grey-robed Old Ancestor scoffed. “No matter who it is! Cultivating on our Sikong Family territory, consuming our Eerie Power—the technique they comprehended belongs to our Sikong Family!”
The Sikong Family had every right to be so confident. In the Eastern Wilds, they only feared the Ji Family. The Ji Family had produced four Supremes in the past, while the Sikong Family had only one. But it was impossible for a Ji Family powerhouse to come to their territory. So, no matter who this woman was, the Sikong Family could easily handle her!
With that thought, the Grey-robed Old Ancestor flicked his sleeve, launching a palm strike directly into the Eerie Abyss. A terrifying, peerless force manifested as a Void Handprint, blotting out the sky, incredibly brilliant, and slammed down towards Xuanji Holy Lord’s location.
“Get out here!”
“This is our Sikong Family’s territory! Everything you’ve gained belongs to our Sikong Family! Including you…”
He didn’t get to finish.
Whoosh!
A single strand of Xuanji Holy Lord’s white hair suddenly extended, like a divine rainbow, piercing directly through the boundless Eerie mist and shooting towards the colossal handprint in the sky.
In but an instant, the Void Handprint unleashed by the Sikong Family Old Ancestor was shattered, reduced to dust, and rapidly annihilated.
Whoosh!
That strand of white hair continued its trajectory, hurtling towards the Grey-robed Old Ancestor who had just attacked.
The Grey-robed Old Ancestor’s face turned incredibly grim. He tried to retaliate, but it was too late. The strand of white hair, like a heaven-defying spiritual weapon, directly pierced through his glabella.
Pfft!
Blood spurted from the Grey-robed Old Ancestor’s glabella, and he instantly died on the spot. His corpse plummeted from the void!
Everyone was stunned by this sight. Especially the slaves on the periphery of the Eerie Abyss. Who could have imagined that the woman inside the abyss would dare to kill a Sikong Family Quasi-Dao Supreme? Was she trying to defy the heavens?
Judging by the aura of her breakthrough just now, she was only a One-rotation Quasi-Dao Supreme. The Sikong Family, however, had several Three-rotation Quasi-Dao Supremes, and even heaven-defying trump cards left by their ancient Supreme Ancestor. That woman was absolutely no match!
This was the first Quasi-Dao Supreme Old Ancestor of the Sikong Family to die since their emergence!
Everyone shook their heads. “That woman, daring to defy the Sikong Family, her end will surely be tragic.”
