Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 767 Let the world feel the pain

"Be bold!"

Suddenly, a gaunt old ghost leaped out of the shadows in the hall, holding a bone staff and glaring angrily.

"You nameless monk, unaware of the Dharma King's divine might! Surrender and you'll be utterly destroyed! Otherwise... hmph! I'll make you—"

"Pfft!"

Before he could finish speaking, a tattered Shengxie sword suddenly flew from the side and pierced his forehead.

"what--!!!"

Old Ghost let out a miserable scream as his body was instantly corroded by the evil energy entwined on the sword, turning into a pool of pus and blood.

With a "hum," the Victory Sword flew back into Xu Xuan's hand. The sword trembled slightly, its spirituality still weak. It no longer possessed the vibrant energy it had when it was first created. Its weariness resembled that of a middle-aged or elderly man who had been crushed by life.

Although it's barely alive, it can still put some use to noob-slaying games.

"So much nonsense."

Xu Xuan didn't even bother to glance at the old ghost, nor did he bother to look at Sheng Xie, who was trying to show his presence. He raised his hand and struck out with a palm!
"boom--!!!"

The palace's protective barriers shattered instantly, walls collapsed, roofs were blown off, and countless treasured underworld artifacts were exposed to the air.

"receive."

With a flick of his sleeve, Xu Xuan sent out a jade pot that emitted a suction force from its spout, sweeping away all the treasures in the hall.

This was the sixth forbidden area they had ventured into, and also the place where the fifth clueless mini-boss was instantly killed.

You Feng stood to the side, trembling with fear.

This Lord Xu... truly acted with "quite the elegance".

They can launch sneak attacks at will, release poison at will, and ambushing with arrows from the shadows is commonplace.

Those ghost generals and demon kings who usually lorded it over the Yin-Yang realm couldn't even last three moves against him and were all reduced to ashes.

"Let's go, next one."

Xu Xuan put away the jade pot and strode forward expressionlessly.

You Feng swallowed hard and quickly followed. She suddenly felt that... the Yin-Yang Dharma King might be in big trouble!

Xu Xuan was in a bad mood after smashing six nodes.

"Something's wrong..."

Although he had amassed countless cultivation resources—spiritual roots, spiritual materials, magic treasures, original Buddhist and Taoist scriptures, and even a few ancient relics—none of these things were what he truly wanted.

The living city of Yin and Yang Dharma Realm spans five hundred miles, and in theory, it should have been turned upside down by this monster full of karma long ago.

Especially now, the chaotic battle of hundreds of thousands of demons and evil spirits has turned this place into a wasteland, and the self-repair speed of the Dharma Realm simply cannot keep up with the speed of destruction.

"It shouldn't have been hidden..."

Recalling past experiences—

The core of the Dragon Palace is the dragon blood within the Cangyuan Tianju Palace.

The core of the Three Divine Swords Secret Realm is the Wei people's obsession.

The core of the painting is an old monk who has fallen into demonic possession.

The core of the City of the Wrongfully Dead is the wish left behind by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

The underlying logic of these secret realms is that they operate for some kind of "meaning of existence".

While pondering this question, he rushed into the city lord's mansion.

Inside the core hall of the Yin-Yang Dharma Realm, hidden dangers lurk beneath the magnificent golden decorations. Countless sinister and poisonous restrictions float in the air, and an ordinary cultivator who takes even half a step inside would likely be instantly minced into a bloody pulp.

So Xu Xuan didn't go in himself at all.

He stood outside the hall, smiling and waving his hand—

"on!"

In an instant, hundreds and thousands of bewitched local demons from the Dharma realm surged in like a tidal wave.

They roared and shoved each other; some were crushed by the restraints, some were pierced by the mechanisms, and some were even trampled into mincemeat by their companions... but the person didn't even blink.

"Keep pushing!"

After several waves of cannon fodder died, all the restrictions inside the main hall were finally tested.

Xu Xuan then slowly walked in, looking at the throne of the Yin-Yang Dharma King and muttering to himself, "Strange..."

He looked around, his brows furrowing slightly.

"What about the core?"

Logically speaking, a secret realm of this level must have a core element—it could be a magic weapon, an array, or even the embodiment of some kind of obsession.

But here... there's still nothing.

"boom!"

Xu Xuan countered with a move called "Rhinoceros Headbutting Baboon," utterly terrifying a foolish ghost general who attempted a sneak attack. He then turned to You Feng.

"What do you think is the thing that the Yin-Yang Dharma King cares about most?"

You Feng paused for a moment, then said expressionlessly:
"I think he's a pervert, and he doesn't care about anything."

These are my pure, heartfelt words.

"..."

As Xu Xuan casually smashed the charging ghost soldiers, he listened to You Feng's complaints and felt increasingly uneasy.

Instead of cultivating and breaking through his limits, this powerful overlord of the underworld spends his days wandering around the mortal realm, orchestrating dramas and witnessing human tragedy...

Is this reasonable?

You Feng sneered, and the red wedding dress fluttered without wind, causing blood mist to surge:
"I'm a performer of religious operas, and I'm capable of getting struck by lightning and dying on stage. Do you think I have a congenital brain disorder?"

Xu Xuan: ...The victim's words make sense and can even be used as evidence.

The powerful figures he knew, whether it was Judge Lu, the White Snake, his senior brother Ruoxu, or the Long-Browed Immortal, all had clear goals, despite their different paths: to seek the Dao, break through, and ascend.

Even evil and heretical sects ultimately strive for "transcendence".

But what about the Yin-Yang Dharma King?

It's like a psychologically twisted old pervert who doesn't pursue breakthroughs but instead indulges in manipulating life and death and directing tragedies, much like a wicked screenwriter hiding behind the scenes.

"unless……"

Xu Xuan suddenly thought of a possibility, and his eyes narrowed.

This guy... knows he's reached his limit and can't ascend anymore?!
So I changed the way I asked the question.

"Do you know what the Yin-Yang Dharma King cares about most?"

"This Dharma Realm." This time, You Feng answered very decisively.

Upon hearing the answer, Mr. Xu raised an eyebrow.

"Is this Dharma Realm what you care about most?"

He looked down at the jade pot in his hand—it was filled with rare and precious materials, Buddhist and Taoist scriptures, and ancient relics plundered from various forbidden areas… He then looked up at the magnificent yet eerie city.

"Tsk."

He suddenly laughed: "What I want is also this Dharma Realm."

Reflecting on his previous actions, he realized he was too strategic—breaking through key points first, then searching for resources, probing step by step, and slowly finding the core... too meticulous.

Perhaps it was the inner turmoil of not wanting to disrupt one's own Dharma realm that caused a lot of time to be wasted.

"A rougher approach might be more efficient."

Xu Xuan's eyes turned cold, and he raised his hand and waved—

"boom--!!!"

The roof of the entire hall was blown off!
With one step, he stood suspended in mid-air, overlooking the entire Yin-Yang Dharma Realm.

With both hands raised to the sky, the Buddhist and demonic energies around him surged like a raging dragon.

"Since being meticulous is useless—"

"Then let this world feel pain!"

"Wow—"

The void trembled, and countless golden sand grains appeared out of nowhere, falling softly from the sky.

Each grain of sand radiated a pure, crystal-clear light, and in the blink of an eye, it piled up into a majestic golden mountain in the sky above the Yin-Yang realm!
