Tianjizi Makes His Move, Ye Chen Perishes!

"Alright, the transmission is complete."

Lu Yuan's gaze turned cold as he looked at Ye Chen on the ground, his eyes filled with murderous intent: "Next, it's time to send you on your way."

"I let you escape a few times before, but this time, let's see where you can run to this time."

Feeling that palpable killing intent, Ye Chen trembled and snapped out of his madness.

will die!

Really will die!

Lu Yuan was truly determined to kill him, leaving no room for negotiation!

"Senior Tianji! Save me!"

At the critical moment of life and death, Ye Chen could no longer care about anything else. He suddenly pulled out the dark gold Heavenly Secret Token from his pocket and roared fiercely.

"I am willing to offer ninety percent of my innate Dao body's essence and blood to save my life!"

hum!

The Heavenly Secret Golden Token trembled violently, and a vast and boundless terrifying aura, seemingly emanating from the depths of the Heavenly Dao, suddenly erupted from the token.

The void is distorted.

An illusory figure of an old man, dressed in a star-patterned Taoist robe, with white hair and beard and an ancient face, slowly emerged from the golden light.

His eyes were as deep as the starry sky, and countless threads of cause and effect swirled around him, as if one's fate would be seen through by him with just one glance.

Master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion—Tianjizi!

Although this phantom was merely a projection, the moment it appeared, the trace of Daoist aura belonging to the Mahayana stage caused the entire space of the inheritance hall to groan in unbearable agony.

"well……"

Tianjizi looked at Ye Chen, who was in a sorry state on the ground, sighed softly, and then turned to look at Lu Yuan with a warm smile on his face.

"Young friend, one should be forgiving when possible."

"I am Tianjizi, the master of Tianji Pavilion."

"Although Ye Chen has made mistakes, he is still blessed with great fortune. If we kill him, we may be punished by heaven."

"How about we let him go this time, for my sake?"

Although it was spoken in a consultative tone, the oppressive aura emanating from the Heavenly Secret Golden Token locked onto Lu Yuan invisibly, carrying a sense of superiority and pressure.

Lu Yuan slightly raised his eyelids, looked at the illusory figure, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

"Your face?"

"How much is your pride worth?"

"In this Eastern Wilderness, the people I want to kill, I'm afraid even a mere projection of you wouldn't be enough to protect them!"

Upon hearing this, Tianjizi's smile vanished instantly, and his gaze became deep and cold.

As the master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, he has dominated the cultivation world for tens of thousands of years. Even the lords of the holy lands in the Central Continent have to respectfully address him as a senior. He has never been looked down upon like this before.

"What an arrogant young man."

"Since that's the case, then let this old man consider what you've got that makes you dare to speak so arrogantly before me!"

boom!

Tianjizi waved his sleeve.

Even though it was just a projection summoned by the golden token, it still contained a trace of the power of the original Dao. With this movement, the world changed color.

"A Dao-level Treasure Technique—The Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man!"

There were no fancy moves.

A strange, gray, decaying wind, filled with the feeling of impending doom, suddenly arose.

This wind is all-pervasive and ignores all defenses.

Once contaminated, the physical body will rot, magical power will wither, the primordial spirit will become turbid, lifespan will end, and even one's destiny will decline.

This is a true curse, like a calamity sent down by the heavens!

The stone pillars inside the hall instantly weathered into sand, and the array patterns on the ground quickly faded and disappeared, as if they had undergone billions of years of erosion in an instant.

Faced with this terrifying attack, Lu Yuan's expression was solemn, but there was no fear in his eyes.

"Old man, you dare to act so arrogantly with just a projection?"

"If you were here in your true form, I might still be somewhat wary, but now..."

"Break it!"

Lu Yuan suddenly pushed himself up with both hands.

hum!hum!

Two earth-shattering sword cries rang out simultaneously.

Left hand, time flows, Panhuang's sword of years is drawn!

With his right hand, the void collapsed, and the Panhuang Void Sword appeared!

Two powerful spiritual treasures were unleashed simultaneously, and two beams of light, one gold and one silver, shot into the sky, intertwining to form a temporal storm.

"What?! Two supreme spiritual treasures?!"

Tianjizi, who had been calm, finally changed his expression, his eyes filled with astonishment.

He did some quick calculations with his fingers, but his brows furrowed.

"Wait a minute! These two swords clearly ascended to heaven with Emperor Pan long ago, so why are they in this realm? And why are they in the hands of one person?"

The secrets of heaven were in complete chaos, and even he could not calculate the cause and effect in the slightest!

Rumble!

At this moment, the torrent of time unleashed by the Panhuang Time Sword collided violently with the cursed wind of the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man.

Time is the force that erodes everything.

The curse that could decay everything was instantly weakened by 70% under the even more ruthless erosion of time.

The remaining 30% of the curse power pierced through the sword light and landed on Lu Yuan.

Zizizi!

Lu Yuan's protective golden light began to dim, and gray spots appeared on his skin.

"The Wood element (乙木) is evergreen, symbolizing continuous growth and renewal!"

Lu Yuan gave a cold shout.

Within the unified chaotic laws within his body, the law of wood suddenly shone brightly.

A blue-robed emperor appeared behind him, his body brimming with boundless vitality like a mighty river.

The decaying power that had just invaded the body was instantly worn away by the resistance of this immense vitality.

"It...it blocked it?!"

Tianjizi's pupils suddenly contracted.

Not only was it blocked, but it was completely unharmed!

However, Lu Yuan's counterattack had already begun.

"cut!"

Panhuang Void Sword had already sealed off all escape routes in the surrounding space.

The Panhuang Time Sword transformed into an unavoidable blade of time, carrying the inevitable cause and effect, and fiercely slashed at the phantom of Tianjizi.

"not good!"

Tianjizi wanted to use the Great Teleportation Technique to evade, but found that the surrounding space was as hard as iron and could not be shaken at all.

puff!

The sword of time severs the past and the future.

Tianjizi's projection was as fragile as a bubble under the combined attack of these two heaven-reaching spiritual treasures.

"You brat! How dare you destroy a wisp of my soul!"

"I'll remember this debt!"

With an angry roar, Tianjizi's phantom shattered and vanished into a shower of golden light.

"What's the point of writing it down?"

Lu Yuan snorted coldly, his gaze instantly turning to Ye Chen, who was already slumped on the ground.

At this moment, Ye Chen watched as his last trump card—the projection of Tianjizi—was destroyed by Lu Yuan's sword, and all that remained in his eyes was endless despair and emptiness.

"it's over."

Without uttering any unnecessary words, Lu Yuan swung his sword backhand.

brush!

A spatial rift flashed by.

Ye Chen's head flew high into the air, his eyes still filled with deep resentment, regret, and longing for this world.

He possesses an innate Dao body and holds the Heavenly Secret Golden Token.

He should have been a prodigy, reaching the pinnacle of achievement.

But because he offended the wrong person, he ended up being beheaded.

puff!

As the sword energy entered his body, Ye Chen's soul didn't even have a chance to escape; it was directly annihilated into nothingness by the domineering void sword intent.

Utterly destroyed!

Just as Ye Chen died and his life was extinguished.

Whoosh!

The dark gold Heavenly Secret Token that had fallen to the ground suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light.
