The Fate of Eternal Life

Chapter 157 Extermination of the Clan
Whether one was personally on the battlefield or gazing at it from afar, the Taiyin Mountains witnessed eight figures radiating supreme power disappearing into the battlefield of the saints beyond the heavens.

After many years, the ancient battlefield beyond the borders was once again stained with holy blood, leaving everyone in awe.

"Previously, the ancient sage of the Longevity Temple led a sage into the battlefield, and now eight more sages have entered. How long has it been since we've seen a battle like this..."

"What can we do? We can't just go and watch; we can't even get close. If we do, we'll die!"

"You can activate the array's magic eye to watch this battle!"

A powerful expert with high mastery of Dao patterns can set up an unparalleled divine eye to transmit the battle situation from beyond the realm back, clearly displaying the battle situation. Soon, several forces quickly set up, and in the blink of an eye, a huge array platform appeared, ready to reflect the battlefield outside the sky.

Clearly, they had anticipated the war between the saints and made ample preparations.

Beyond the realm, shattered weapons and enormous bone fragments floated in outer space, exuding an ancient and weathered aura.

"boom!"

Two terrifying orbs of light clashed here, their swords flashing brilliantly. The power of the Taiyin froze everything, and many meteorites flew everywhere, bringing everything back to its origin. Chaotic energy surged, the sun and moon shook, and the entire star field trembled.

"Ancestor!"

When the sage of the Duanmu lineage saw Duanmu Taiyin arrive, his expression changed.

He clashed head-on with the ancient sage of the Longevity Temple, then flew hundreds of miles away, standing on the pre-controlled platform, alongside Duanmu Taiyin.

On the other side, the ancient sage of the Longevity Temple also stood with his sword, joining the sages of the various immortal holy lands.

Both sides stood in the battlefield beyond the realm, amidst desolation and ruin, with shattered holy weapons and mysterious corpses... it was as if a myth had been reenacted.

"Fellow Daoists, are you really going to fight to the death with my clan today?" Duanmu Taiyin said coldly, "Although I don't have many years left to live, I can still take a few saints with me before I die."

Upon hearing this, the other Saint Duanmu, as if bearing witness, felt a surge of murderous intent.

Suddenly, ghosts wailed and gods howled, and eerie winds roared. Although it was in outer space, a hurricane arose in the vacuum, creating huge waves, and all sorts of strange phenomena of gods and demons appeared...

This was a terrifying sight, which also illustrates how extraordinary the scriptures this saint had studied were.

The eight sages remained silent until finally the ancient sage of the Longevity Temple spoke up: "Things have come to this, what need is there for further words? Today, the Duanmu clan will surely be annihilated!"

"Then I'll kill you first!" Duanmu Taiyin said coldly.

He made his move, unleashing the various wondrous techniques of the Taiyin Ancient Scripture. The heavens cracked, the stars trembled wildly, and they were about to fall when a deity appeared behind him!
Instantly, the entire starry sky revived, and countless rays of light intertwined with Dao patterns, seemingly evolving into a giant life form!
"The Taiyin revolves, and ten thousand years pass." Duanmu Taiyin roared, his body covered in ancient runes that flashed as he pounced on the enemy.

He swept away everything in his path, shattering many meteorites as if he were going against the flow of time, charging to a point very close to the Sage of the Longevity Temple, clearly intending to kill him.

"Qiang!"

The ancient sage of Changsheng Temple wielded his holy sword, cleaving the heavens like a long river dividing the universe, invincible in all directions.

The people on the ground gasped in shock. They could see clearly that the attacks from both sides shattered all obstacles. The debris and meteorites from beyond the realm were all pulverized into dust, causing a chill to seep from their very bones.

What incredible power! If he were to kill, a single finger would be enough to wipe out everyone present.

But the battle continues in the sky, and it won't stop on the ground either.

Ning Qing attacked without hesitation, his long roar shaking the very foundations of the Duanmu lineage. As he charged forward, the Primordial Azure Gold Pagoda pressed down, causing the heavens to crack and time to revolve.

"Ah..." Screams rose and fell as hundreds perished in this attack. Eighty percent of them were instantly reduced to ashes, while a few were torn apart by blood and bone fragments, with only their mangled corpses falling to the ground.

Ning Qingyi's heart was cold and hard, devoid of any sympathy. He watched as lives vanished before his eyes without even frowning.

Driven by a desire to avenge the emperor and eradicate the malignant tumor, he felt no remorse and continued his rampage.

"You deserve to die!"

The last remaining master of the Duanmu lineage shed tears of blood. He was filled with rage and grabbed a battle axe. He charged forward, his black axe blade shattering three thousand feet in a single strike, his killing intent sweeping across the heavens and earth.

Ning Qingyi looked at him coldly, her fist force like a dragon soaring through the sky. With just one circle, she shattered the void, her blood and qi surging like a sea.

Ka!

Despite his divine prowess and profound skill, this expert could not defend against the punch. His battle axe shattered, and half of his body was reduced to dust.

brush!
Blood spurted out, and Ning Qing rushed past without hesitation, delivering a punch that shattered the remaining half of the body, killing him instantly.

"kill!"

"Kill..."

The various sects each fought in their respective regions, then converged on the central part of the divine land to completely wipe out the experts of the Duanmu lineage.

"Are you all insane! Our clan's ancestor is not dead yet!" someone from the Duanmu lineage shouted angrily.

"If we all perish, our ancestor will no longer fight a bloody battle in the heavens, and he will surely avenge us!" Someone smiled bitterly: "We will be waiting for you in hell!"

These words immediately caused many to waver. Although the major sects participating in the war all had sages presiding over them, if the two sages of the Duanmu lineage decided to escape after seeing their clansmen wiped out, it might truly bring about a great disaster. Two sages nearing the end of their lives, if they went berserk, could be enough to completely destroy a major power.

Even the experts from the Changsheng Temple who followed Ning Qingyi were a little slow to react.

Upon seeing that this advice had been effective, the Duanmu clan was overjoyed. They secretly transmitted their thoughts and quietly redeployed their forces to the east to face their formidable enemy!
Ning Qingyi!

He remained unmoved and unaffected, simply charging forward.

"boom!"

Divine light soared up, and Dao traces emerged, resulting in a devastating explosion with boundless, dazzling energy.

The experts of the Duanmu lineage could not stop him at all. Even if the attacks from other directions were slowed down, he was about to completely penetrate into the core area of ​​the divine land.

The supreme sage, killed with a single punch.

Below the level of a Grandmaster, it's only a matter of a few punches.

Even a Great Accomplishment King could only defeat the Quasi-Emperor Weapon, the Ancient Azure Gold Pagoda, in a few moves.

Killing formations are useless, soul attacks are useless, even sacred weapons are no match...

The more the Duanmu clan fought, the more desperate they became. Such a peerless genius was simply too terrifying to defeat; they were no match for him, as he had achieved perfection in every aspect.

Even if only he comes today, this entire clan will be wiped out as long as the Sage does not appear!
Under his influence, the masters of each sect were also inspired to fight. Now that they were on board, they had no choice but to fight to the end.

"Don't let a single one escape! Avenge the descendants of the Queen!"

The holy lands were roused and fought bravely, breaking into the core divine land. This was the foundation and ancestral land of the Duanmu lineage and the former Taiyin Sect. With the accumulation of countless years, there must be immeasurable treasures.

"puff!"

Blood blossomed, and the last of the Duanmu lineage's Dao-Slaying King Bei died. Ning Qingyi pierced his chest directly, leaving him covered in blood, a bloody and violent sight.

For a moment, the entire divine land fell silent. All the major sects understood that the Duanmu lineage had been largely wiped out, and the rest depended on the outcome of the battle beyond the heavens.

"Daozi, what's next?" The Three-Missing Daoist, his white robes stained with blood, stepped forward.

"As stated in the preface, I only need the complete Taiyin Ancient Scripture. All the major sects participating in the war can copy the rest, except for the last forbidden chapter."

Ning Qing looked into the divine land. Even though it was stained with blood, the place remained unharmed. Ancient palaces stood majestically, and huge palaces stretched out in clusters. A misty haze swirled around, colorful clouds rose, and the air was filled with ethereal beauty. Treasures were everywhere.

He used the Lesser Destiny Technique to calculate his location, and walked towards the palace where the Taiyin Ancient Scripture was kept. He simply said, "The rest of the Daoist scriptures are for the great sects to take themselves."

The major sects exchanged glances, and then they all made their moves. Immediately afterwards, one ancient hall after another was broken open, and precious light soared into the sky.

Inside a palace, one could see divine pearls floating, each engraved with Daoist marks, shining as brightly as stars. Cultivation here could be accelerated by two times.

Inside another colossal palace, divine light soared into the sky. These were clusters of divine sources, so dazzling that it was impossible to open one's eyes. They were the size of fists, heads, and faces, in all sorts of shapes and sizes, like suns hanging in the sky, dazzling and awe-inspiring.

Since the rebellion began, Duanmu has accumulated countless treasures, which is truly astonishing.

Within the divine land, the forces of resistance were dwindling. Blood stained the pure land, bones littered the ground, and iron cavalry thundered past, trampling over the corpses of the powerful.

This is the fate of a clan's annihilation. All the glory is meaningless. After a period of prosperity, there is only endless lamentation. Everything that happened was recorded in blood, leaving only sorrow.

As the next palace was opened, there were rows of ancient weapons, clanging and ringing, many of them soaring into the sky, trying to fly away in all directions and escape.

This is an armory, every single item imbued with spiritual power; any one of them would fetch an astronomical price at auction. One could say that such an armory alone would be enough to establish another major religion.

When another giant palace was breached, the fragrant aroma of medicine inside invigorated all the weary cultivators. The palace was filled with colorful jade bottles that shimmered with a clear light, and there were also many pill furnaces with wafting fragrance that was refreshing and invigorating. No one knew how many precious pills were inside!

Ning Qingyi walked towards the highest palace, which was sealed by various restrictions imposed by sages. Not only the Duanmu lineage, but also the seal of the former Human Emperor lineage was present. However, it was still no match for him. As soon as the "Group" secret was revealed, everything was broken.

He walked into the depths of the palace and saw a stone book floating in the air, permeated with the power of Yin, and the intoxicating true meaning of the imperial way flowed here.

"The Ancient Scripture of Taiyin... I wonder if I should return to Beidou first and give it to Tingting, or if Ye Fan should obtain it from the demon and give it to Tingting?"

Ning Qingyi sighed slightly, then took out the entire stone book. He already had a portion of the Taiyin True Scripture, and now he had completely completed it, thus possessing all four complete imperial scriptures.

Meanwhile, in the heavens, the great battle among the saints reached its most intense stage.

Both sages of the Duanmu lineage realized that their clansmen had been wiped out, and all their life's work had been in vain.

"Ancestor, you must go first, you must avenge our clan!"

The sage of the Duanmu clan made up his mind, roared, and burned his life force, which for a moment suppressed the other sages.

Duanmu Taiyin was also very decisive, her eyes showing neither joy nor sorrow, and she transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky.

Moments later, the sage of the Duanmu clan perished.
