Boom!
Lu Xuan took a single step. A terrifying ripple of Dao patterns, like an ethereal breeze, unfurled outwards, spreading in all directions. The Eerie beings, a frenzied horde, lunged at Lu Xuan, unleashing their Eerie Dao with every strike.
Ji Fuyao's expression subtly shifted. Each of these Eerie beings was actually stronger than Guixuan? Where did the Eerie Plateau find so many Ancient Ancestors? During the First Star Sea Great War, the Eerie Plateau only had a few dozen Ancient Ancestors. Now, there were likely hundreds! And this was just the outer perimeter!
Boom!
Lu Xuan's power, brimming with destructive force, swept out like a sonic wave. Every Eerie being it touched was instantly annihilated, their bodies crumbling to dust. But! The very next moment, within the Eerie mist, the shattered black shadows began to coalesce once more, their oppressive aura returning. They were reborn!
Tamamo-no-Mae and Tianzhao gasped in unison. "Immortal and undying! Can Ancient Ancestors truly be immortal and undying?"
Lu Xuan calmly shook his head, letting out a disdainful chuckle. "Mere specters, how dare you be presumptuous!" With a casual flick of his sleeve, countless Grand Dao mysteries roared to life. The most brilliant divine radiance erupted from his body, transforming him into a colossal sun, burning brightly amidst the eerie and ominous gloom.
Hiss! Hiss!
Terrifying power, annihilating everything! An invincible posture! This power directly surpassed the Heavenly God Realm! Instantly, the black Eerie mist beneath Lu Xuan's feet began to dissipate, and the reborn Eerie Ancient Ancestors once again crumbled into dust! No rebirth! Annihilated by the Grand Dao itself!
Tamamo-no-Mae and Tianzhao were utterly shaken, crying out, "Sir! Sir has truly returned!" During the Star Sea Great War of old, Sir had been just like this, slaughtering Eerie Ancient Ancestors as if they were mere chickens!
Lu Xuan continued his advance, each step like the dawn dispelling darkness, purifying the entire Eerie Plateau. The Grand Dao roared ceaselessly behind Lu Xuan! His white robe remained spotless, gently billowing. Like a deity! The Ancient Ancestors of the Eerie Plateau fell one after another! None could withstand him! All were instantly killed!
Soon, Ji Fuyao noticed something. "These Eerie Ancient Ancestors can revive endlessly because of the Eerie Lord's Dao. He's likely a Half-step Heavenly God Realm cultivator, and as long as he presides over this Eerie Plateau, these Ancient Ancestors can revive indefinitely!"
Lu Xuan stated calmly, "The Eerie Lord has already broken through to the Heavenly God Realm!"
Ancient Ancestor Tianzhao was utterly shocked. "What? Is the Eerie Lord's cultivation stronger than Sir's?"
Lu Xuan remained silent.
At this moment, Ye Chen suddenly declared, "But it's useless! It's utterly useless! Master is invincible!" Ji Fuyao tilted her snow-white neck slightly, nodding firmly, her gaze burning with conviction. Chen Changsheng added, "Cultivation realms have long lost their meaning to Master."
Deep within the Eerie Plateau, the Eerie Lord observed Lu Xuan's overwhelming power, yet his expression remained utterly calm and unperturbed. Since he had invited Lu Xuan to this place, he naturally possessed numerous trump cards capable of defeating him. At worst, he would negotiate a truce with Lu Xuan! He would not lose! He absolutely would not lose!
The Eerie Lord turned to Xuanji Holy Lord Baili. "What do you think?"
Divine light flickered in Baili's eyes. "You intend to use me to threaten Master?"
The Eerie Lord, a picture of smug confidence, replied, "This is merely one of my many trump cards."
Baili scoffed, her three thousand feet of white hair swirling around her, before she calmly closed her eyes. This was absolute confidence in her Master.
Simultaneously, as Lu Xuan delved deeper into the Eerie Plateau, the colossal sun-like phantom behind him grew larger and larger, illuminating not only the Eerie Plateau but the entire Fallen Star Sea. For a moment, all beings across the Fallen Star Sea were stunned. On this day, a sun had been born in the Star Sea! Not only that, they felt a certain restraint and shackles that had long hung over their heads constantly shattering. Everyone's eyes cleared from their daze, becoming lucid. Shattered memories began to reassemble! Memories that had been suppressed for endless ages by the Star River Alliance and the Eerie Plateau.
In an instant, countless figures knelt directly towards Lu Xuan's distant back. Thump! Thump! Like a surging tide. At this moment, Lu Xuan's figure appeared incomparably grand. He bore the azure heavens on his back, stood alone through the ages, re-enacting the Star Sea Great War of old.
"Sir, we have wronged you so deeply..."
"Sir, with you in this world, the world is joyous, and so are we!"
"Sir, you were never the shackles above our heads! We misunderstood you."
Everyone wailed in lament. All of this was a conspiracy by the Eerie Race! And those fools, Innate Ancient Ancestor Mei and others, betrayed Sir, Dao Yi betrayed Sir... though Dao Yi later tried to atone, he still ultimately hurt Sir! Countless divine senses and gazes turned towards the Eerie Plateau, their hearts filled with anticipation.
"Sir, you must win!"
"You must win!"
Just then, Lu Xuan, along with Ji Fuyao and the others, had already stepped into the depths of the Eerie Plateau. Ji Fuyao and the others' expressions turned grim. For beneath their feet, this Eerie Plateau was not soil, but forged from countless white bones! Piles of gleaming white bones! The endless mist had once concealed all of this! All beings witnessing this scene felt a chill run down their spines. How many powerhouses had the Eerie Plateau slaughtered?! These white bones emanated an eerie light, but judging by their aura alone, the weakest among them had been Star Venerate Realm cultivators!
Soon, Lu Xuan arrived not far from the Eerie Lord. The Eerie Lord rose, letting out a sinister cackle. "Lu Xuan, you've slaughtered all my bloodline. Did you enjoy yourself? But let me tell you, as long as I live, the bloodline of my Eerie Race will be immortal and undying... Hehehehe!"
Everyone was stunned. Such a powerhouse was truly terrifying! Immortal and undying! Dying and reviving! It completely surpassed their comprehension!
Lu Xuan, however, scoffed disdainfully. "Heh. Slaughtering so many beings to boost your cultivation and deduce your so-called Eerie Dao, yet you're still so weak. Did you waste your cultivation on a dog?"
As his voice fell! Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen burst into laughter. "Hahahahaha!"
The Eerie Lord's face turned incredibly grim. He snarled, "I treated you as a fellow Daoist. Why must you humiliate me so?" Boom! He directly attacked Xuanji Holy Lord Baili, slamming down a palm. "Since it's a fight to the death, I'll start by killing your disciple!"
Boom! This palm strike contained the Eerie Lord's Dao. Instantly, boundless black mist permeated the air, and terrifying Eerie Power transformed into an endless abyss. The mere leakage of its oppressive might stunned countless beings watching from outside. Trembling! A feeling of utter dread! This power felt as if it could erase them all in a single thought! Like a true deity! Instantly, black mist surged from every corner of the Fallen Star Sea. The various branches and main sect of the Eerie Sect had actually linked together, forming a colossal array.
Everyone was shocked. "This was the Eerie Plateau's plan, laid out over endless ages!" "The Eerie Sect has been destroying our Fallen Star Sea all along!" "This is too terrifying! Why does it feel like the Eerie Lord's power is even stronger than Sir's? Can Sir withstand it?"
Just then, Lu Xuan, with a calm expression, casually flicked his sleeve. A white divine rainbow illuminated the heavenly secrets, like an undying divine flame, once again brightening the entire Eerie Plateau and the Fallen Star Sea. Beneath its radiance, there was no darkness! This was the roar of the Grand Dao itself! Invisibly, all beings felt their bloodlines surge and their eardrums vibrate. As the two powerhouses clashed, Dao Rhyme overflowed across heaven and earth! The very next moment, Lu Xuan's white divine rainbow transformed into boundless destructive power. Dense Dao patterns wove into a massive net, all descending upon the Eerie Lord.
Boom! In merely an instant, the Eerie Lord was sent flying back hundreds of millions of feet! Pfft! He spat out a mouthful of black essence blood, utterly terrified, and cried out, "How is this possible?!"
