Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 1429 - 829: No Room Left for Reconciliation

He had been holding on just to save his last breath to mock Shen Yi.

But as he watched, Lin Shuya suddenly discovered something.

He seemed to truly be nothing more than a cowardly wild dog, fearful of death.

The instant his faith collapsed was also the moment his heart died.

...

The Yellow Cloud swept over the Divine Dynasty, covering the Four Continents completely.

The Emperor’s Aura, born from the faith of countless commoners through generations, might be insufficient to isolate the vast entity that is the Heavenly Dao.

But to protect this land of Shen Zhou where they reside, it was even more than adequate, spilling over to the Four Continents, the Eight Seas, and the Wildland beyond.

Above the towering abyss.

The Immortals simultaneously raised their heads, uniformly gazing towards the faintly visible Yellow Mist in the sky.

Even Emperor of the North Pole was momentarily distracted, uncertain of what change had occurred.

"This is the entire foundation of the Divine Dynasty!"

Master Xuanwei, once the de facto Leader of Ten Thousand Immortals and closest to the Sect Hierarch, knew more than the Emperor himself.

He had initially suspected that the Sect Hierarchs endorsed Shen Yi for the position of Master of the Immortal Court, not just due to his impact on the Divine Dynasty’s fate, but because he likely held something that even the Sect Hierarch found daunting.

It was only now that Master Xuanwei finally realized, from this scene, he could derive a stunning conclusion.

What was overlooked by everyone in the Mortal Realm, was that it hid a third Transcendence!

But of course, this Transcendence, unlike the previous two, wasn’t a living being who could walk the earth, but a power accumulated from all living beings.

With such a thing, one could easily rank among the top three powers of heaven and earth.

The Human Emperor of this era somehow handed over such a thing without reservation to Shen Yi!

If this conclusion was already shocking enough, the current situation made Master Xuanwei’s face turn pale.

In possession of this force, comparable to Transcendence, and having successfully forced the two sects to retreat, Shen Yi made a decision that no one could have anticipated.

Such was the decisiveness of this young man.

He personally killed the third "Transcendence."

And with its remains, shrouded Shen Zhou.

"Foolish..."

Not just Master Xuanwei’s sharp mind, but even the other Immortals could see the result of such an action at a glance.

The deceased Transcendence, no matter how powerful now, would inevitably disperse one day.

In other words, the two sects need only wait for the Emperor’s Aura to thin out, gradually being consumed by them, leading to complete victory.

"Could even such a clever person be driven to rage?"

Now, Shen Yi’s stance was beyond further debate, known to all.

The Leader of Ten Thousand Immortals, who fought his way with raw strength, originated from the Human World from the start.

After the temporary reconciliation between the two sects, combined with communication with monks from Southern Sumeru, the immortals roughly pieced together the young man’s life journey.

Born from the Demon Slayer Bureau, walked through Shenxu Mountain, and even joined hands with the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva.

Once an Elixir Emperor, once a Ming King.

He mingled within the two sects from insignificance, managed to step out from Southern Continent under the close watch of Immortals and Buddhas, and stand at the forefront of the Seventy-two Cave Golden Immortals, admired by all.

Even though all present were immortals and should, in theory, loathe this person, anyone who considered this journey inevitably could not help but be awe-struck.

The peril involved was beyond verbal description.

For such a formidable figure to make such an unwise move indicated the desperation in his heart.

After realizing that victory was impossible, he sought to preserve his final dignity!

"..."

Chi Yunzi remained silent, his form suddenly swaying.

Even knowing Shen Yi’s true identity, past events wasn’t false.

He did not wish to clash with this young man, avoiding armed confrontation, but he also couldn’t bear to see him forced into such a dire situation by the two sects.

"Emperor, if he were to repent now, is there a path back?"

Chi Yunzi’s voice was hoarse, pleading as he looked towards the Taoist in a purple robe at the forefront.

Emperor of the North Pole’s face was gloomy, unwilling even to turn his head, and said coldly, "Wishful thinking."

The Immortals fell silent; they knew why the Emperor was angry. Earlier, he had advised Lady Houtu on the cliff top, describing Shen Yi as a treacherous man who was capricious.

But now, the young man had declared to the world with his actions, that even if he stood on the wrong side of the great divide, on a personal level, no one could find fault with him.

Though dead, he remained true to himself without change.

"..."

Emperor of the North Pole simply closed his eyes, refusing to look at the residence below the abyss, avoiding giving that woman a chance to retort. freeweɓnovel~cѳm

Inside the residence.

Shi Mu stood dazed for a long time, suddenly feeling her face flush with heat.

Still, this was a good thing, at least the good intentions of the Lady, including the suppressed sorrow, were not in vain.

Holding onto the Lady’s arm, she timidly looked up, only to be taken aback once again.

The peerless face showed no satisfaction; instead, the fatigue that had lingered around her eyes grew more intense, leaving her somewhat lost, leaving no room for taunting the Emperor of the North Pole.

The hand that had been trembling slightly while clutching the teacup now visibly shook more, spilling tea onto her long dress without her noticing.

Houtu had never doubted Shen Yi’s heart.

If she truly didn’t trust him, she would never have kept his secret.

Her previous lapse was only because she foresaw the potential for intense conflict. The current scene has indeed gone beyond her prediction in terms of intensity.

That child had personally cut off all his options.

Refusing to compromise would come with a price; the two sects would make no further concessions.

...

In the North Continent, even the white misty Cloud Sea was tainted by the Yellow Mist.

The Immortal Court punished the human world, only to be defiled by the human world’s impurities.

Several Sect Hierarchs sat across from one another in the Dao hall, their faces calm without a trace of a smile.

"Ahem."

The Future Buddha cleared his throat, "Maybe we should just leave it at that..."

Before he finished speaking, the Present Buddha had already coldly glanced over.

The Future Buddha’s mouth twitched twice, quickly withdrawing his gaze. He hadn’t expected the young man to be so unyielding, displaying a sliver of hope once again, causing him to impulsively want to support him anew in front of the other sect leaders.

Just as expected."

The Present Buddha raised an eyebrow. The most significant threat to the two sects was now seemingly resolved, with one remaining task.

The trace of Shen Yi is no longer a concern; having done such a thing, the young man dared not step a foot outside the Divine Dynasty ever again.

But to pursue an Emperor within the boundaries, the two sects would have to expend tremendous effort.

"..."

The Future Buddha fell silent, knowing well the weight of his words. Before the Bodhi Sect could deal with the human world, Three Immortals Sect had used the suppression of Houtu Huangdi Qi as a bargaining chip.

Yuqing Sect Master needed to keep a close watch on those Ancestor Gods, to prevent them from causing any trouble.

"It really is too late for anything now.."

Only one matter remained: they needed to concede for the time being and let the young man buy some time.

"As expected."

The Future Buddha raised an eyebrow. For the two sects, the most significant threat was nothing less than that, and now, thankfully, the situation was somewhat simpler.
