“Bring out that dogshit master of yours!”
The Demon Court Three Supreme Old Ancestors nodded, demanding Lu Xuan’s presence. They’d heard countless tales from their younger generation about Ye Chen’s master, a man who dared to eat Great Demons. This was an outrage! They had been humiliated enough in Cloudrise Holy Land; they wouldn’t suffer such disrespect in the Tai Chu Realm. “Impossible!” they roared. “Absolutely impossible!”
The Titan Giant Ape Supreme effortlessly suppressed Ye Chen. Rule Power surged around Ye Chen, coiling into chains that bound him, preventing his breakthrough to Supreme and his desperate attempt to fight. This was the chasm of ‘One Star, One World’ – an insurmountable gap. The Titan Giant Ape didn’t kill Ye Chen, instead savoring the reverence and awe in the eyes of the countless beings on the Supreme Path. It had been so long since he’d felt such adulation! In Cloudrise Holy Land, he was a mere ‘grandson,’ but here, he would be the ‘grandfather.’
Thump! Thump! The Great Demons of the Demon Court fell to their knees, overwhelmed by the crushing pressure of the Supreme Old Ancestors. The chasm between a Quasi-Dao Supreme and a Three-star Supreme was beyond words. With the Old Ancestors’ return, Demon Lord Tian Nu and the others felt their Bloodline Power ignite, shattering the shackles that had long bound their cultivation. “Old Ancestor, this… this is incredible!” Demon Lord Tian Nu exclaimed, utterly stunned. The Titan Giant Ape merely grunted, “Such a fuss over this? With our return, your bloodlines naturally receive feedback. Today, you shall all step into the Supreme Realm!” The Great Demons of the Demon Court erupted in ecstatic cheers. This was a blessing beyond measure! The return of their Supreme Old Ancestors brought such unimaginable benefits. Other factions’ Quasi-Dao Supremes watched from afar, consumed by envy. Only the Grand Supreme Profound Sect and the Demon Court had managed to contact their Supreme Old Ancestors in the Southern Wilds.
The Titan Giant Ape Supreme turned to Demon Lord Tian Nu and Feng Wanshan. “You two, break through to Supreme over there. Ye Chen’s master is ours to deal with.” The Giant Insect Ancestor sneered, “In an era without true heroes, even a mere boy can gain fame! I’m eager to see just how powerful this master of Ye Chen’s truly is.” Hearing this, Demon Lord Tian Nu and the others immediately sat cross-legged, beginning their breakthrough to Supreme. “With the three Old Ancestors returned,” Demon Lord Tian Nu declared, “Ye Chen’s master won’t last a single exchange!” The Xuan Turtle Ancestor suddenly asked, “By the way, is Xuanji Holy Lord still alive?” “She remains peerless in grace,” Demon Lord Tian Nu replied, “but she’s now Ye Chen’s junior sister!” The Xuan Turtle Ancestor’s voice shot up, “What?!” The Titan Giant Ape Supreme scoffed, “Very well, Ye Chen. Summon your master. I’m curious to see what kind of man dares to take Xuanji Holy Lord as a disciple…” He didn’t even finish his sentence.
Boom! Crack! A rift tore open in the Supreme Path. From within, Lu Xuan emerged, clad in white robes, divine radiance swirling around him. His aura was ancient, yet utterly calm, like a Divine King descending upon the mortal realm. He made no attempt to conceal his face. The moment they saw Lu Xuan, the Demon Court Three Supreme Old Ancestors froze, their eyes wide with disbelief. Wait a minute. Isn’t that the terrifying figure who went on a rampage in Cloud City? The ruthless expert who openly defied Cloudrise Holy Land itself! The air grew heavy, thick with a sudden, profound silence.
“Old Ancestor, please annihilate the White Robe Supreme…” Demon Lord Tian Nu bellowed, his voice cutting through the silence. “Silence!” The Titan Giant Ape Supreme’s body trembled uncontrollably. With a desperate roar, he slammed a palm towards Demon Lord Tian Nu. Boom! Terrifying Supreme power surged like a tidal wave. Demon Lord Tian Nu stared at the Titan Giant Ape Supreme, his face a mask of utter shock. “Old Ancestor, why?!” The strike contained horrifying killing intent, the power of a Three-star Supreme, a guaranteed instant kill! Pfft! Demon Lord Tian Nu never imagined that he would be struck down by his own Supreme Old Ancestor. Blood splattered, and Demon Lord Tian Nu instantly dissolved into a mist of gore! The entire Demon Court was dumbfounded. Why? Had their Old Ancestor lost his mind? Demon Lord Tian Nu was dead!
Across the entire Supreme Path, everyone was stunned. What was happening? The Demon Court Three Supreme Old Ancestors, who had been so incredibly arrogant moments ago, were now trembling uncontrollably the instant they saw the White Robe Supreme. They had even attacked their own Demon Lord! From the faces of the Demon Court Three Supreme Old Ancestors, everyone saw it: a profound, bone-chilling terror! Terror of the White Robe Supreme! Wait. For the first time, many saw the White Robe Supreme’s face clearly. Why did he look exactly like Lu Xuan? Ah?!
Just then, Thump! Thump! The Demon Court Three Supreme Old Ancestors dropped to their knees before Lu Xuan, their voices trembling with desperate pleas. “White Robe Supreme, spare us! We didn’t know it was you! Please, spare us!” At this moment, their hearts were filled with unimaginable regret. They had barely escaped Cloudrise Holy Land, so why on earth had they returned to the Tai Chu Realm? To retire? This was a death sentence! The White Robe Supreme was a true God of Slaughter, a being who casually annihilated even the most powerful cultivators of Cloudrise Holy Land! The Titan Giant Ape Supreme wanted nothing more than to slap himself senseless. Damn it! Why did I have to come back and show off?!
Witnessing this scene, everyone was petrified. The Demon Court’s Old Ancestors were Three-star Supremes! How could they be so utterly subservient before the White Robe Supreme? Just how powerful was the White Robe Supreme? At that moment, with a mere thought from Lu Xuan, the Rule Power shackles binding Ye Chen shattered. “Master,” Ye Chen murmured, a storm of power erupting around him – the undeniable precursor to a breakthrough to Supreme. Lu Xuan nodded. “Break through over there.” Ye Chen immediately sat cross-legged, beginning his ascent.
Boom! A massive pot shimmered into existence before Lu Xuan, infused with profound Dao and Rhyme. Simultaneously, Ye Chen’s Eight Desolations Annihilation Flame flew out, settling beneath the pot, a gentle, warming fire. Seeing this, the Demon Court Three Supreme Old Ancestors’ scalps tingled with dread. They had heard rumors that Ye Chen’s master enjoyed eating Great Demons. Damn it. This is bad! The Titan Giant Ape was about to beg for mercy again, but Lu Xuan merely flicked his sleeve, and a divine radiance shot forth.
Boom! A heaven-piercing river of divine radiance surged forward, imbued with a terrifying Stance—a power utterly incomprehensible to Quasi-Dao Supremes. Lu Xuan had subtly refined this force, ensuring the physical bodies of the three Great Demons would remain intact. But the three Supreme Old Ancestors’ faces turned ashen. His grandmother! The White Robe Supreme truly intended to kill them! They had returned only to become ingredients! Why, why had they come back to the Tai Chu Realm?! As Lu Xuan’s river of divine radiance descended upon them, the three Supreme Old Ancestors frantically summoned all their defensive spirit weapons. But it was useless! Utterly useless!
Boom! Crack! In less than a breath, all their defenses shattered! The three Supremes could only watch, helpless, as their very essences were annihilated! There was no chance of escape, none at all! “Damn it, to die like this.” The three Supremes uttered their final, despairing words. The next instant, their massive bodies flew directly into the pot. So vast were they, a single pot could barely contain them all!
Witnessing this, everyone on the Supreme Path was utterly petrified. This… this… The Demon Court Three Supreme Old Ancestors, just like that? Gone? Turned into ingredients? How truly powerful was the White Robe Supreme?! The entire Demon Court was plunged into mourning, as if for a lost parent. What was there left to fight for? Their Old Ancestors had been instantly killed by the White Robe Supreme! The Demon Court’s fate seemed sealed: to become a meal. Feng Wanshan of the Xuan Turtle Race, overwhelmed by the horror, simply fainted.
Just then, a Grey-robed Elder from the Pill Fragrance Sect, mustering all his courage, dared to ask, “White Robe Senior, what is your relationship with Lu Xuan?”
