“So, you’re the strongest one here?” the Cold Middle-aged Man sneered, a dismissive look on his face. The Black-robed Elder beside him mirrored his disdain. They were utterly confident, certain they had this place in the bag.
Lu Xuan ignored them both, turning instead to Xuanji Holy Lord. “The Eerie Domain Two-star Heavenly God Realm Cultivators have arrived. Today, I’ll teach you how to truly master Using Eerie to Counter Eerie with the Dao of Eerie Scripture.”
Xuanji Holy Lord’s beautiful eyes sparkled, and she nodded.
A teaching moment!
In truth, Xuanji Holy Lord had felt a profound suppression when she was on the Eerie Plateau. But with Master’s arrival, Myriad Laws Immunity! This was the chasm between her and her Master! Logically, her Dao of Eerie Scripture pointed directly to the source of Eerie Power. Yet, she still couldn’t quite match it.
At that moment, the Cold Middle-aged Man snorted in irritation. “Hey, I’m talking to you!” He’d never encountered such an arrogant show-off. In this shattered Primordial Star Domain, all living beings instinctively trembled in fear when facing their Eerie Race. Yet, just now, that Martial Ancestor had dared to directly attack them. And this white-robed man was even more audacious, claiming he would defeat Eerie Power with Eerie Power!
What a joke! They were the Eerie Race! They were the very source of Eerie Power! Across the vast star domains, countless powerful factions had tried to unravel the mysteries of the Eerie, but none had succeeded. That was because the Eerie Race was born from the Eerie itself; they were naturally cultivators of Eerie Power.
The Black-robed Elder’s eyes gleamed with a flicker of interest. He scoffed, “White-robed Ant, you’ve actually piqued my curiosity. Very well, show off your paltry tricks. Let me see just how powerful a human’s Eerie Power can be.”
The Cold Middle-aged Man glanced into the distance. Their fellow Eerie emissaries would take some time to arrive. He waved a hand dismissively. “I’ll give you fifteen minutes, White-robed Ant.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen and the others wore expressions of utter mockery. Trying to show off in front of Master? From this day forward, Master would make a name for himself across the entire Primordial Star Domain.
Lu Xuan remained perfectly calm, stepping forward with an unhurried grace. He smiled and said, “Just two Two-star Heavenly God Realm Cultivators. You two should make the first move. Otherwise, I might not be able to hold back and accidentally crush you.”
“Hahahahahahaha!”
“Hahahaha! Are you trying to make us laugh ourselves to death?!”
The Cold Middle-aged Man and the Black-robed Elder burst into laughter almost simultaneously. Their laughter abruptly ceased, replaced by expressions of boundless mockery. The Cold Middle-aged Man took a step forward. “Since you insist, let me show you. Just because you defeated Ancient Ancestor Guixuan, you think you’re hot stuff!”
Boom!
The Cold Middle-aged Man flicked his sleeve, and surging Eerie Power flowed out like a black tide. His face began to distort, transforming into an ancient, withered visage, revealing his true form. This was an ancient Heavenly God who had steeped himself in Eerie Power for untold ages! His head was shriveled, his eyes like two black holes, utterly terrifying. With a sweep of his arm, a long black river materialized. This power caused chilling winds to howl through the starry sky, conjuring countless eerie phenomena that sent shivers down one’s spine. A colossal skull appeared above the stars, lunging directly to devour Lu Xuan. Complex and ancient Eerie Dao Rhyme was woven within it.
Xuanji Holy Lord’s expression shifted slightly. To her, this attack was indeed somewhat tricky.
Lu Xuan shook his head faintly, speaking to Xuanji Holy Lord. “Baili, all variations return to the source. You control the Dao of Eerie Scripture, which points directly to the core of Eerie. And the core of Eerie is merely a Grand Dao, albeit one that transcends conventional understanding. Take this skull, for instance. Its fundamental Dao Rhyme is hidden within, using the myriad phenomena it conjures to disguise itself. In reality, compared to the Dao of Eerie Scripture, it’s nothing but a paper tiger.”
Upon hearing this, Xuanji Holy Lord’s eyes lit up. Endless black mist swirled around her as she immediately sat cross-legged. “Master, I’ve comprehended!” Xuanji Holy Lord instantly entered a state of enlightenment.
Across from them, the Black-robed Elder frowned slightly. In all his years of cultivation, this was the first time he’d heard such a theory regarding Eerie Power. It was truly eye-opening.
But the Cold Middle-aged Man remained unimpressed. “Empty talk! If you’re so mighty, break my Eerie Dao Seal!”
With a thought, Lu Xuan directly activated the Dao of Eerie Scripture. His right hand transformed into a mysterious black, Eerie Power continuously flowing, even purer than the Cold Middle-aged Man’s. It instantly coalesced into a long arrow, shooting towards the skull in the starry sky. It tore through the heavens, a terrifying, abyssal black.
Boom!
Crack!
The instant it made contact, countless cracks appeared on the skull. The Eerie Power within it was annihilated by the long arrow. Destructive power surged from the arrow, as if a ferocious beast was awakening within the Eerie itself.
“How is that possible?!” the Cold Middle-aged Man shrieked in disbelief. He had witnessed pure power overwhelming before! A single star, a single world! A Three-star Heavenly God could easily obliterate his Eerie Power. But that would be a brute force suppression, not a direct assault on the very source, like this white-robed man’s attack.
“Marvelous, simply marvelous!” the Black-robed Elder suddenly clapped his hands and cried out. “White-robed Ant, you’re right, you’re absolutely right!” He had cultivated Eerie Power for so many years, yet this was the first time he had truly grasped its essence. Wisps of black mist appeared around the Black-robed Elder as the Eerie Power within him actually began to transform. “A human supreme expert once said, ‘To know what it is, and then to know why it is.’ I never realized that’s what it meant!”
The Black-robed Elder was incredibly excited, staring intently at Lu Xuan. “I never imagined a despicable outsider ant like you could comprehend the profound mysteries of our Eerie Race. I’ll leave you a complete corpse!” As his voice fell, his aura surged dramatically. He suddenly lashed out at the Cold Middle-aged Man beside him.
Boom!
With a single palm strike!
The Cold Middle-aged Man’s heart filled with terror, and he cried out, “Hey, what are you doing?!” He truly hadn’t expected the elder to attack him! The Cold Middle-aged Man let out a muffled groan as his divine soul began to shatter. The Black-robed Elder’s power was like a steel blade scraping through his inner world, continuously annihilating his Grand Dao. Even a Heavenly God couldn’t resist.
Ye Chen and the others were dumbfounded. These two were fighting each other?!
The Black-robed Elder cackled. “Die. This profound secret of Eerie Power, it’s better if I’m the only one who controls it.”
Pfft!
Pfft!
The Cold Middle-aged Man’s body dissipated like tattered rags. A moment later, the Black-robed Elder clapped his hands, then turned to Lu Xuan, striking directly at his head. “Let me see what other profound mysteries lie within your mind!” He had suddenly grown intensely curious about Lu Xuan. Could merely defeating Ancient Ancestor Guixuan truly allow one to penetrate the secrets of Eerie Power?
Boom!
The Black-robed Elder instantly appeared before Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan smiled faintly. “Oh? You wish to peer into my Sea of Divine Sense?”
The Black-robed Elder declared, “Don’t resist, you have no choice. If I’m in a good mood, I might even take you as my servant.”
Lu Xuan remained utterly unbothered, his expression serene. He simply said, “Go ahead.”
The Black-robed Elder’s face was filled with smug satisfaction. “Now that’s the kind of human I know, hehehe…”
