Immortality: Starting with a grave, I'm invincible when burying corpses.

Without giving it much thought, Zhong Hu's gaze was already fixed on Jun Changping, who was acting like a madman.

Having lost his mind, Jun Changping was full of openings, and most of his fighting strength had been lost.

Zhong Hu found such a clown ridiculous.

While the mystical sensation was still lingering, he suddenly stepped forward and pierced Jun Changping's arm with his halberd. He then pressed down with the halberd, severing Jun Changping's entire left arm.

"Aaaaaah!!!"

With a piercing scream, Zhong Hufei retreated, dodging Jun Changping's sword strike.

As Zhong Hufei retreated, that mysterious power also completely disappeared.

Looking at Jun Changping, who was screaming in despair, Zhong Hu said loudly.

"Orphaned and a mere refugee!"

puff!

Upon hearing this, Jun Changping coughed up a mouthful of blood. He seemed to have forgotten his severed left arm and stared intently at Zhong Hu.

"Orphaned? A mere refugee?"

"No father or mother? No father or mother!"

After repeating it three times, Jun Changping suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahahahahaha!!!!"

"What a shameless orphan! What a worthless vagrant! Even now, you're still deceiving me. What kind of hero are you?"

"You lied to me, my junior brother lied to me, even my father lied to me, everyone lied to me! They're all traitors! They're all traitors...traitors..."

The frenzied voice suddenly stopped, became intermittent, and finally returned to calm.

In the middle of the raging fire, Zhong Hu plunged his halberd into Jun Changping's chest.

He ignored Jun Changping's frenzied gaze, raised the halberd in his hand high, so that everyone present could see the figure pierced through the halberd.

In front of countless people, a mouthful of bloody saliva was spat on Jun Changping's face.

"Trash is trash! Scoundrels are scoundrels!"

Before the roar could sound again, the halberd hanging in the air suddenly spun around, shattering Jun Changping's heart and destroying all his life force.

All the pipe dreams and the grand cause of restoring the nation vanished like bubbles as life faded away.

The next instant, the body was lifted into the air and then slammed back to the ground.

"The Crown Prince of Western Qi has been executed today!"

"A resounding victory in this battle!!!"

……

"By my order, take over the city's defenses. Anyone who trespasses on civilian homes or forcibly robs civilians will be executed without mercy!"

"Remove all the arrows from this military advisor surnamed Wei and give him a proper burial in the city."

"Wait a moment, keep his clothes and ashes, and send them to Qing'an Prefecture."

……

Fifteen minutes ago, in Taizhou, at Fenglang Mountain.

The instant Zhong Hu closed his eyes, Mu An, who was wreaking havoc in the mountain stronghold, paused, and the force in his hand increased slightly.

A sword light flashed out, splitting the mountain in front of them into a canyon.

"Huh—"

Standing atop the collapsed mountain, Mu An let out a soft exclamation and looked in the direction of Qiluo City.

"The Heavenly Dao is taking over? Is the Will of Heaven planning to intervene personally?"

Muttering something to himself, Mu An looked up at the sky, his vast gaze piercing through the clouds and reaching the heavens, taking in the current state of the Nine Realms Heavenly Dao.

"The rate of evolution has accelerated, but it will still take at least five hundred years before it truly matures."

"Did it sense danger and instinctively accelerate the evolutionary process?"

Having made up her mind, Mu An withdrew her gaze from the sky and gently tapped the frolicking clouds in front of her with her free hand.

"You mean you want to chop down the strongest ones? Chopping down these bandits isn't enough; you want to chop down the one in the sky?"

"If we just cut Him down, we can get a large amount of the world's origin. Not only can we seize the origin to create the Four Symbols World, but we can also create an innate Dao body for Little Ling'er?"

Mu An was both amused and exasperated by Liu Yun's excited outburst. He increased the pressure in his hand and struck Liu Yun's sword hard.

"You should learn something more in your spare time. You know nothing but spout nonsense. If you really cut Him down, the world beneath our feet will also disappear..."

Seeing the flowing clouds suddenly lose their spirit and listlessly spin around in the sky, Mu An felt that this little sword spirit was really a bit too warlike, and wondered where it had learned it from.

It must be Qingxi and Aoyun who corrupted it!

……

Starfall Continent, Taiyuan Divine Mountain.

Atop the towering sacred mountain stands an ancient palace.

At first glance, the palace doesn't seem particularly magical, but once you enter, you'll find that the entire hall is covered by flowing water, as if a dragon palace from the depths of the ocean has been moved to the top of a mountain.

The old Celestial Master, who was sitting cross-legged on the sealing hall, opened his tightly closed eyes and looked in the direction where Zhong Hu was.

With a flick of his sleeve, everything that had happened in Qiluo City transformed into a curtain of light, appearing in the center of the hall covered by water.

As the old master watched Zhong Hu shatter Jun Changping's fire dragon with a single halberd strike on the light screen, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

"Break the rules, strike at the root."

"This Heavenly Will is even more impatient than I imagined."

He murmured something, then stood up from the prayer mat. He walked slowly to the main hall and raised his hand to press down lightly.

An invisible current swept through the sealed hall, and thousands of black and white fish appeared in the hall, swimming in the vast ocean of laws.

If there were any terrestrial immortals here, they would surely exclaim in surprise, feeling as if they had stepped into a sacred place in the world, a hall of the Great Dao.

The entire hall is composed of laws, and the flowing tides are actually the embodiment of the great paths.

As the old celestial master moved, countless black and white fish swam through the vast ocean of laws, their final target rushing into the center of the great formation and crashing into the Taiyuan Emperor, who was deep within the seal.

The light representing the laws shone from Emperor Taiyuan, converging on the four jade pillars at the edge of the hall, transforming into mottled patterns.

With each brightening of the jade pillar's patterns, the body of Emperor Taiyuan would shrink by one unit.

"It's almost here... In another five years, all the laws on this demon's body will be completely analyzed. At that time, this remnant body will be useless, and it can be turned into resources and scattered on the Starfall Continent."

"This will not only strengthen the foundation of the Nine Domains, but also slow down the evolution of the Heavenly Dao, and allow me to master more Dao principles. It can be said to be a triple benefit."

Seeing that the Taiyuan Emperor's demonic body had shrunk by nearly half, even the composed Old Celestial Master couldn't help but show a look of satisfaction.

The magnitude of this harvest is comparable to his hundreds of years of solitary cultivation. If he could receive a few more such surprises, perhaps when he replaces the Heavenly Dao in the future, he wouldn't need to borrow the power of all living beings.

The more beings in the Nine Realms die when one attains the Dao, the weaker the Celestial Master will become after replacing the Heavenly Dao.

If this hadn't been the only feasible method at the time, the Old Master would never have used it as a basis for his plans.

But now, the old master sees another possibility.

What delighted the old master even more was that surprises kept coming one after another over the years, and who knows when an even bigger surprise would appear.

Satisfied, the old celestial master sat back down on his prayer mat and closed his eyes again.

"The connection between the two realms is becoming increasingly close, and it's time to try to transform the Realm of Ingenuity into a subordinate world of the Nine Domains. In the past, it would have been impossible for me to accomplish this alone, but now..."

"If we can get the True Lord's help, this matter will become more feasible. After this matter is settled, we will discuss this matter with the True Lord."

"If we succeed, everyone will benefit, and I will be one step closer to the Great Dao."
