Fantasy: I, the Great Celestial Venerable of the Dao

The evil energy ceased its blatant display and instead tried its best to conceal its aura, splitting into several streams that fled desperately in the east, south, west, and north!

He was confident that, with his current Celestial Immortal cultivation level, at least one of the scattered individuals would manage to escape...

However, the next moment.

"Thump!"

The evil energy heading east seemed to have hit an invisible copper wall and was violently bounced back.

"Thump!" "Thump!" "Thump!"

The same applies to the other directions.

The evil energy surged left and right, but like a trapped beast, it could not break out of the area within a hundred miles.

An invisible and intangible yet indestructible barrier had long since completely sealed off this space.

The Evil Sword Immortal's heart sank to the bottom. He reformed into human form, forcing a fawning smile that was more like a grimace.

They bowed deeply to the sky, their posture so humble it was almost invisible.

"Dao... Dao Xuan Zhenren, what brings you here, sir?"

"Little fairy... Little fairy was just rambling, please don't take it to heart, Master!"

Dao Xuan's expression remained unchanged, still calm and indifferent. Looking down at the clown-like Evil Sword Immortal, he slowly spoke:

"Do you still want to run away?"

"Hehe, you're joking, Master. Who can escape from you?"

Who dares to run away?

The Evil Sword Immortal bowed and scraped, smiling obsequiously.

"Your Majesty possesses boundless magical power and boundless supernatural abilities; I, a humble immortal, deeply admire you..."

"Alright," Dao Xuan interrupted his insincere flattery.

"Having lived freely for so many years, devouring living beings with evil thoughts, causing considerable harm. Today, come back to Qingyun Sect with me."

The smile on the Evil Sword Immortal's face froze; he forced a smile.

"The real person... can we not go?"

Xiao Xian vowed that she would turn over a new leaf and never do anything evil again!

I'll find a secluded mountain forest to hide in; I won't get in anyone's way!

I swear!

He raised his finger, his words "earnest".

Dao Xuan remained silent, but the invisible majesty emanating from him slowly pressed down like a mountain.

The air became thick, and the space seemed to solidify.

The Evil Sword Immortal knew that the other party had no intention of giving him a second choice.

When fear reaches its extreme, it becomes twisted rage.

"Dao Xuan—!!"

The Evil Sword Immortal suddenly straightened his body, all the servility and obsequiousness on his face vanishing instantly.

Instead, it was replaced by extreme ferocity and resentment.

"Are you trying to force me?! I'm a celestial being now! If we really fight to the death, you might not fare any better!"

"Those who commit many unrighteous acts will surely perish."

Dao Xuan's voice remained calm, yet carried an undeniable decisiveness.

"If you surrender, you will return with me to the Qingyun Sect to receive your title."

There might be a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, annihilation, body and soul, will occur today.

"You think I'm afraid of you?!"

The Evil Sword Immortal roared, and his black and purple evil energy surged wildly, soaring into the sky.

They coalesced into countless grotesque faces of agony and wailing, accompanied by howling winds and the cries of ghosts and gods.

The entire mountain range instantly transformed into a realm of demons and monsters!

The evil power at the celestial level was released without reservation, and even space itself began to distort slightly.

Dao Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly, his fingers twitching subtly in his sleeve, preparing to make a move.

But then, the fierce and seemingly desperate Evil Sword Immortal suddenly lost his momentum.

With a "thump," he knelt down in mid-air!

The ferocity on his face vanished, replaced by a pitiful expression with tears streaming down his face.

"Master! Dao Xuan Master! Please have mercy and spare this humble immortal this time!"

I swear, I will absolutely never oppose you again, never oppose the Qingyun Sect, and never oppose any righteous path!

I'll find a small world to hide in and never come out again!

"If I break this oath, may I be struck by lightning, my soul scattered, and never be reincarnated!"

He cried and kowtowed repeatedly, his heartfelt plea moving all who heard him.

Dao Xuan: "..."

Even with his extensive knowledge and experience, his mind had long since become as still as a deep well.

At this moment, even the corner of his mouth twitched almost imperceptibly.

This evil sword immortal was, after all, someone who devoured countless evil thoughts and went through many hardships to break through to the realm of celestial immortals.

This behavior is simply... utterly shameless.

In comparison, the Heavenly Demon Emperor, who was suppressed at the bottom of the Demon-Locking Tower and refused to bend, seemed much more principled.

"Stubborn to the end." Dao Xuan lost his last bit of patience, his voice turning cold. "It seems I'll have to take matters into my own hands."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dao Xuan finally moved.

He simply took a step forward.

This step caused the world to change color!

A vast and powerful pure magical force, as boundless as the starry sea and as majestic as the heavens, erupted from Dao Xuan's body!

It has no eeriness of evil, no violence of demonic energy; it is the supreme power of pure essence, containing the righteous way of heaven and earth!

A silvery-white light spread out instantly from him.

It illuminated the entire world shrouded in dark purple evil energy, like a pure sun rising in the night!

The light was not dazzling, but it carried supreme majesty, capable of purifying all evil and suppressing all lawlessness.

"ah--!!!"

The Evil Sword Immortal let out a shrill scream that was inhuman. His body was enveloped in a dark purple, malevolent aura.

Just like snow meeting boiling oil, it makes a "hissing" sound and quickly melts and evaporates.

He desperately activated the celestial evil power he had just acquired.

They coalesced into hideous ghost heads and thick, evil shields, attempting to resist.

However, in the face of absolute power and attribute advantage, all such resistance seems pale and powerless.

Wherever the silvery light passed, the ghost head wailed and shattered, and the evil shield collapsed and dissipated.

That light was like a sword of heaven, mercilessly slicing away all filth.

"No! My power! Dao Xuan! I curse you! I curse the Qingyun Sect—"

The Evil Sword Immortal struggled and twisted in the light, his body constantly being purified and shrank.

Dao Xuan remained expressionless, extended a finger, and pointed it down into the air.

"town."

As if by magic, the silvery-white light that filled the sky suddenly receded.

It transformed into a beam of light condensed to its fullest extent, striking straight at the core evil energy that the Evil Sword Immortal had finally condensed!

"boom--!!!!"

A deafening roar a hundred times more intense than when the Evil Sword Immortal broke through.

It shook the entire Yinsha Mountain Range.

Countless mountains collapsed in the shockwave, and the earth was torn open into bottomless ravines.

The dazzling white light devoured everything, leaving only pure light and roaring sounds in the world.

In the distance, some people were drawn by the extraordinary phenomenon of the Evil Sword Immortal's breakthrough.

The cultivators who were secretly observing were shaken by the terrifying aftershocks of the collision, their blood churning and their souls trembling.

They were terrified and fled far away, not daring to approach even a fraction of a second.

The brilliance did not last long.

About half an incense stick later, the silvery-white light gradually faded away.

Dao Xuan remained standing in the same spot, his blue robe fluttering, spotless.

It was as if that earth-shattering blow had not come from him.

Below, in the central area of ​​what was originally the Yin Sha Mountain Range, a giant pit with a diameter of over tens of miles appeared.

It is bottomless and its edges are as smooth as a mirror.

It radiates a glassy luster, as if it had been melted by high temperatures.

In the air, only a fist-sized, nearly transparent, pale purple cloud of energy remained, drifting weakly and slowly.

Within that cloud of air, one could vaguely make out a face shrunk countless times, filled with pain and fear.

The Evil Sword Immortal has just broken through to the Celestial Immortal realm.

He was then struck back to his original form by Dao Xuan, and even his original evil energy was on the verge of collapse.

Dao Xuan waved his sleeve, collecting the faint wisp of evil energy into a jade box that had been prepared beforehand in his palm.
