“Immortal Slaying Sword Qi??”

The first of the two swallowed hard and spoke in a daze:

“This man… has already pioneered a heaven and earth within his Acupoints? He has the body of an Earth Immortal, yet possesses characteristics of the [Celestial Realms] stage??”

The two looked at each other, speechless, their minds reeling.

‘Is this the power of the Supreme’s Direct Lineage?’

At that moment, the Drought Demon let out a shrill roar. Daring not to be careless any longer, she unleashed all her techniques. A Great Grade brilliance erupted from her body as she summoned her innate evil aura, setting the very sky ablaze with a great fire!

“You are audacious and reckless!” she shrieked, unleashing a Great Slaughter Technique and once again clashing with the palm, which was woven with Dao and principles and wreathed in faint wisps of Immortal Slaying Sword Qi.

BOOM!!

This muffled boom was incredibly violent, shaking the mountains and rivers for ten thousand miles around. In the Celestial Court, Shunfeng Ear’s head was left ringing, and Thousand-Mile Eye was so startled that he reflexively cast his gaze toward the Human World.

But all he saw was the erupting Immortal Slaying Sword Qi, which stung his eyes and made him weep tears of blood.

These two Immortals were only at the initial stage of the True Immortal realm. They only held their important posts because they had naturally opened the [Form] and [Sound] Divine Communication Acupoints. By rashly spying on a battle between top-tier Great Grade Level combatants, they were both injured.

Thousand-Mile Eye clutched his eyes and wailed, while Shunfeng Ear covered his ears and screamed. The two Immortals writhed in agony on the clouds.

「Meanwhile, in the Human World.」

The Drought Demon had burned a large, charred hole through Lu Xuan’s palm, but she herself had been struck so hard that she was bleeding from all seven orifices. Worse, under the assault of the Three Calamities and Three Tribulations of Wind, Fire, and Thunder, her true body was beginning to show signs of collapse.

She let out a pained shriek, but Lu Xuan paid her no mind. The gaping, burned hole in his palm, bolstered by Dao and principles, healed at a rapid pace.

He attacked again, this time beginning to use his Divine Techniques.

“Flowers Bloom in an Instant.”

The old man spoke with majesty. A million Immortal Flowers bloomed around him, and as his voice thundered out, the initially small wounds on the Drought Demon’s body instantly expanded, as if they had been left to fester for a hundred or even a thousand years.

Her body, now covered in cracks like fragile porcelain, let out another pained shriek. She sensed that something was wrong, and fear began to well up in her heart.

‘This Human Race expert… is too damn strong!!’

‘His aura is clearly weaker than mine, but his methods are profound to the extreme!’

The Drought Demon’s heart filled with terror. She coughed up blood as she retreated, but Lu Xuan gave her no chance to catch her breath. A bone-chilling killing intent surfaced in his eyes.

Killing Skill, Heaven-Flipping Seal, Heaven and Earth Inversion!

Killing Skill, Immortal Slaying Sword Form!

Killing Skill, Immortal Slaying Sword Form!

Three Great Slaughter Techniques swirled and condensed within one palm. He also activated Dao Generating One, forcibly locking onto the Drought Demon’s Cause and Effect and pinning her in place!

The Drought Demon wanted to flee, but found she couldn’t leave this place at all. It was as if she had been born entangled with this very Earth, utterly unable to escape!

She glanced to the side in terror and saw the grand Immortal Light condensing in the ten-thousand-zhang-tall old man’s palm. Truly panicked now, her hand trembled, and a Golden Decree materialized.

The Drought Demon held the decree high and shrieked:

“This is a decree from the Western Celestial Court! Do you dare risk universal condemnation? Do you dare to kill me!”

“Back down! Back down!!”

While Lu Xuan continued to gather his Killing Skills in one hand, his other hand snatched the Golden Decree from the Drought Demon’s grasp. He glanced at its contents: the Western Celestial Court had ordered the Drought Demon to descend to the Lower Realm and spread disaster in the Qin Region to punish the insubordinate Human Race…

The Drought Demon shrieked:

“You’ve seen the decree, now back down at once! If you anger the West Pole Celestial Court, if you anger the Great Emperor of the Upper Palace of Gouchen…”

Before she could finish, she saw the ten-thousand-zhang-tall old man tear the Golden Decree to shreds!!

The Drought Demon was speechless. Observing from afar, Black and White Impermanence were dumbfounded. Though they were Ghost Gods of the Nine Netherworld, a chill still ran up their spines!

‘Which Great Power of the Human Race… just tore up a decree from the West Pole Celestial Court??’

The Drought Demon’s blood ran cold.

At this moment, Lu Xuan opened his eyes, which shimmered with divine light, and raised his palm to the sky.

“You have brought disaster, slaughtered living beings, and sinned against humanity. Your crime is unforgivable!”

He issued a solemn declaration, a judgment, and then, his great palm struck down!

The Drought Demon let out a scream of absolute terror, her heart pounding violently. She used every technique at her disposal to resist, but under that palm woven with Dao and principles, her various Slaughter Techniques melted away in an instant like snow under a blazing sun!

Lu Xuan did not bring his palm down fiercely. As it neared the Drought Demon, he simply stroked her head gently.

The Drought Demon’s face was a mask of terror, but when she realized the hand had only brushed past her head, her heart suddenly relaxed.

However, in the next instant, Slaying Sword Qi erupted, burrowing into her from the top of her head. The Acupoint Heaven and Earth opened, causing the Dao of Annihilation within his Little World to resonate with the Dao of Annihilation in the Great Heaven and Earth, and both poured into the Drought Demon’s body!

The terrifying Sword Qi and the Dao of Annihilation erupted in unison inside the Drought Demon’s true body. She let out a bloodcurdling scream, which then came to an abrupt halt!

In the next instant, before the eyes of countless onlookers, the thousand-meter-tall true body of the Drought Demon began to collapse, crumbling into the most basic particles before dispersing with a boom and returning to nothingness.

Even the Drought Demon’s Soul and True Spirit were utterly shattered by the churning Slaying Sword Qi, leaving not even a chance for reincarnation!

Watching the Drought Demon crumble into particles, Lu Xuan reached out and lifted up a scattered remnant of a human soul. The remnant soul wept and laughed as it kowtowed to him.

Lu Xuan sighed softly. His gaze flickered, landing on Black and White Impermanence, who were spying on him from a great distance.

The two of them instinctively looked up, their eyes meeting the terrifying old man’s gaze. They both saw the slowly flowing Chaos and the silently rising and falling deep-space cosmos within his eyes, and their scalps tingled with fear.

“Supreme Venerable, this matter has nothing to do with us! We have absolutely not caused any chaos or disaster!!” Black Impermanence cried out in alarm.

“I know,” Lu Xuan said. Having perceived the threads of Cause and Effect and confirmed that these two Yin Spirits had done no evil, he passed the remnant human soul to them as if issuing a decree:

“Send him to his rebirth. His merits are sufficient; he should be able to reincarnate into a good family.”

[Reasonable Words] vibrated, sealing the soul’s fate. Black and White Impermanence carefully accepted the remnant soul and hurriedly bowed their heads in reverence.

“Yes, Supreme Venerable!”

The two of them couldn’t help but swallow, their hearts pounding. ‘The Evil God, the Drought Demon… is dead just like that??’

‘This Great Power of the Human Race tore up a decree from the Western Celestial Court… I’m afraid, I’m afraid…’

The two Ghost Gods kept their heads bowed, not daring to speak.

Lu Xuan paid no more attention to Black and White Impermanence. He dispelled his Celestial and Earthly Laws, his form shrinking as he stepped down into Yong City. Amidst the cheers of the myriad people, he landed upon the Sacrificial Altar.

“Duke Qin.”

he said flatly.

Duke Mu of Qin walked through the air toward him, bowed respectfully, and inclined his ear to listen to Lu Zi’s decree.

“Begin the ritual,” Lu Xuan said again, his voice flat.

Duke Mu of Qin received the order and passed it down. Soldiers assembled, and a ceremonial guard formed around the high platform.

The Cyan Bull and the two Immortals, Taibai and Li Jing, also walked to the base of the high platform and watched quietly. The latter two wore complex expressions, realizing they were likely about to witness history being made.

Before long, the rites were prepared and the honor guard was in place.

Lu Xuan stood tall on the Sacrificial Altar. He raised his head, gazed at the heavens, and suddenly spoke, his voice like thunder.

“Today, certain Immortal Gods have sinned. I have come to enumerate their crimes.”

His calm, solemn, and dignified voice first swept out in all directions, engulfing the entire Human World before surging toward the heavens and the Nine Nether!

Instantly, that great voice resounded through the heavens, the Human World, and the Nine Nether, startling countless Immortals and Buddhas into turning their heads and causing Ghost Gods to stare wide-eyed!

“Today, certain Immortal Gods have sinned. I have come to enumerate their crimes.” The old man’s voice rose again, filled with great power, his face a mask of cold fury:

“Let us speak of the Western Celestial Court. It has sinned against Heaven and sinned against humanity. Its crimes are unforgivable. It has violated heavenly principles, harmed human lives, and thrown rites and laws into chaos…”
