Chapter 99: Chapter 88: Slaying Celestial Humans with Ease, a Daoist Monarch Arrives

The expressions of the three Celestial Humans grew solemn.

None of them were fools to have come this far. The youth before them was far too calm. ’Where does he get this confidence from??’

And that strange phenomenon surrounding his body...

They exchanged glances, locked in a stalemate. No one made the first move. They were all secretly gathering their power. As their Spiritual Wills shone outward, the radiance around them grew increasingly brilliant, gradually taking on an incandescent quality.

Lu Xuan, however, remained calmly seated on the spot. He neither spoke nor moved. One hand was raised above his head, the pressure of Heaven and Earth Inversion growing ever heavier. His other hand rested before his abdomen, the ethereal Sword Qi radiating an increasingly baleful aura.

Time passed. The youth suddenly lifted his head, his eyes blazing like two Great Sun Golden Lamps—magnificent and vast!

"Die!"

The elderly Celestial Human was the first to lose his patience. He gathered the Primordial Qi in his body, stirred his spirit, and manifested his strongest Slaughter Technique—a Great Palm Seal that seemed to cover the sky and sun as it came crashing down.

Seeing this, Zhu Cun and the other Celestial Human didn’t hesitate. They both attacked with all their might. One unleashed a majestic slash of his blade, while the other harnessed lightning, forming it into a spear. An incredibly tyrannical bolt of lightning flashed silently, appearing at the back of the youth’s head!

Feeling the overwhelming pressure of the three Celestial Humans’ auras, Lu Xuan simply smiled, making no move to defend himself. He just sat there, unflinching.

The Great Palm Seal struck his head, the blade slashed his chest, and the lightning spear slammed into the back of his neck.

DONG!!!

A muffled boom erupted in a flash of ferocious light. Ripples spread through the air as the void itself trembled!

The three Celestial Humans were stunned, completely bewildered. ’That boy... he didn’t even try to resist?’

’Is he a madman?’

They exchanged astonished glances, then smiles crept onto their faces. The elderly Celestial Human clasped his hands behind his back and said nonchalantly,

"To think we were almost bluffed by a mere child... How disgraceful. Truly disgraceful..."

Zhu Cun, however, didn’t lower his guard. He kept his Wakizashi at the ready and said,

"Something’s not right. Was that a little too easy?"

The words had barely left his mouth when the ferocious light from the three Slaughter Techniques began to dim, fading into nothingness. As the light dissipated, the youth’s figure was revealed.

His robes still billowed. One hand remained above his head, the other before his abdomen. He was perfectly still, completely unperturbed.

The expressions of the three Celestial Humans froze.

"Cough, cough..."

Lu Xuan coughed up a mouthful of stagnant blood and said calmly,

"Hm. I have a rough idea of my Physique’s level now. At the very least, when facing Celestial Humans like you, there’s no need to dodge or defend."

After a pause, his cool voice continued to echo through this Supreme void, a place without sky or earth, without up or down. It was distant, yet haunting.

"And now... it’s my turn."

"Retreat!" the elderly Celestial Human bellowed, his figure streaking away like a rainbow. His entire body trembled with immense terror.

Even a Celestial Human who had ascended to the second or even the Third Level Divine Ladder would never have dared to withstand their combined attack head-on!

And yet that youth had blocked it with nothing but his Physique, only coughing up a bit of stagnant blood?

’What the hell? Is he really just at the Jade Tower realm?’

Even a Celestial Human who specialized in tempering their body wouldn’t possess such a Physique!

The three Celestial Humans retreated in different directions with a shared understanding. But the smile on Lu Xuan’s face only grew wider, a flash of deadly intent in his eyes.

’This was the moment I was waiting for!’

His right hand formed the Wood Splitting Form. Borne on a tide of immense qi and blood, the lines on his palm shone with a pearlescent light as he delivered a savage horizontal strike!

His left hand formed the Slaying Sword Form, conjuring a brilliant blade of light. It pierced the void, imbued with the true intent of absolute slaughter and nirvana!

The Three-Five Evil-Slaying Sword materialized before him. Lu Xuan took a deep breath, like a whale drawing in the sea, a tempest filling his lungs. He then compressed every bit of air and exhaled it all in one violent burst.

The breath struck the sword’s hilt, launching the blade forward with the speed of an arrow shot from a fully drawn bow!

PSHHFFT!

The Three-Five Evil-Slaying Sword impaled Zhu Cun from behind. Zhu Cun froze in place, looking down in a daze at the three-sided sword tip protruding from his chest.

On the body of the blade, he saw images of the sun, moon, and stars, of vast mountains and rivers. He watched as intricate patterns spread out from the point of impact, with the sword at their center...

In a mere moment, Zhu Cun’s body was covered in fine cracks, like a piece of fragile porcelain, spreading from his feet to his chest, and up to his face.

The next moment, his entire body shattered, disintegrating into the void.

The other Celestial Human suffered a similar fate. Pierced by a faint wisp of Slaying Sword Qi, he too was annihilated by its terrifying intent of absolute slaughter and nirvana, dissolving into fundamental particles.

As for the elderly Celestial Human, he looked on in despair at the descending palm, at the pearlescent light shining from it, and at the majestic force that felt like Heaven and Earth Inversion itself.

The palm landed on his skull, and an immense force erupted. The elderly Celestial Human let out a weary sigh.

He looked at Lu Xuan, a bitter smile appearing on his face.

"The young are truly to be feared... truly to be feared..."

As his words faded, the elderly Celestial Human’s body went limp. With no power to sustain it, it floated silently in the void, utterly lifeless.

Lu Xuan remained silent. With a soft wave of his hand, the Three-Five Evil-Slaying Sword flew back to him, sinking back into his body and disappearing into his Spiritual World.

Then, he looked away, his gaze piercing the deep, profound darkness of the void. His voice grew cold.

"Who are you?"

"You’ve been watching for a long time. Why remain hidden?"

His cool voice echoed through the silent Origin. After an unknown amount of time, a laugh rang out.

"Not bad. Not bad at all."

A young Daoist came staggering out.

......

「In the center of the great tomb, a vast plaza.」

All eighteen tomb passages ultimately led here. One by one, Celestial Humans, chosen geniuses, and others were pulled in by an unseen force, looking around in confusion.

Soon, acquaintances found one another and began to exchange information. They all discovered that each of their tomb passages had contained a giant bronze statue.
