Chapter 270 270 Return Part 2
This sword technique has been practiced by several people, all of whom eventually became terrifying destroyers who caused a sensation.
In the galaxy where they were born, these cultivators completely disregarded the terrifying distances measured in light-years, traversing stars at a speed faster than spacetime jumps, destroying one civilization after another that stood in their way.
Any attempt to encircle and suppress them will be detected in advance, and any scheme designed will be discovered and countered. The root of all this lies in their ability to briefly reverse their own fate.
Regardless of whether they are seriously injured, dead, controlled, sealed, or even unconscious, they will instantly revert to their previous strongest state.
One who is strong will always be strong; this is the terrifying aspect of practicing this sword technique.
Their peak condition is forever frozen in time. All the secret techniques and drugs with severe side effects are merely stepping stones to even greater heights for them.
If you want the results, ignore the side effects, because side effects will never actually occur.
In fact, in my memory, the previous cultivators all had immense hatred from the beginning, which is why they chose to sever everything and become the most terrifying destroyers.
After ultimately destroying their target, they all followed their original plan, falling into the temporal rift and being completely pulverized into the most primordial particles.
'This is a terrifying revenge sword technique that comes at a huge price. If I continue to practice it, without emotions and desires, I won't have any reason to live.' Lin Hui was quite conflicted. Fortunately, he hadn't mastered the Star Breath Sword Manual yet, so there was still time and he didn't have to worry about these things for the time being.
"No rush, things will work themselves out. Let's deal with everything right now first." Composing himself, Lin Hui suddenly darted to the side, dodging a huge gray-white shadow that pierced through the sea below.
The giant shadow shrank back, and the next moment, a huge gray-white sea serpent rose from the sea.
A crown-like ring of spikes naturally grows from the top of the sea serpent's head, within which silvery, mercury-like light and shadow flow faintly.
"You can detect my speed and launch a predictive attack?" Lin Hui narrowed his eyes, paused, and held the Ruyi in his hand.
"You are worthy of my attention."
"Interesting, it's actually a pure human." The giant sea serpent actually spoke, and it was in pure Federation language.
"Human, how about joining my divine race? Staying in the Federation will only waste your future years. Without the original blood of the Mist People, one cannot become a Blood Ancestor. Your lifespan limit is far too low."
"The Mist God!?" Lin Hui narrowed his eyes. He had thought that leaving alone would attract powerful pursuers, but he did not expect that the first thing to come was the invitation from the Mist God.
"I can sense a trace of another god's aura on you. The Mother of All Sounds? Or some other prince?" the giant sea serpent said in a low voice.
"Interesting. You mean, if I join you, I can gain a lifespan equivalent to that of the Mist People's Blood Ancestor?" Lin Hui raised an eyebrow.
"After being bestowed with the divine vein, you will also become one of us, living as long as the heavens. This is a tremendous sublimation that breaks through the limits," the giant sea serpent smiled.
The smile of a sea serpent, with its upturned corners and narrowed eyes, gives it an eerie, almost human-like quality.
"In fact, many of our compatriots were born with ordinary bloodlines who were once persecuted by the Fog People. You will know this once you join us."
"Lifespan is not something I cannot obtain. Besides that, what else can you give me?" Lin Hui didn't care.
"Yes, you are still young. After all life-extending methods have failed, you will come to us on your own." The Crown Sea Serpent slowly sank and soon disappeared into the sea.
Lin Hui didn't make a move. He just stared in the direction it left, pondered for a moment, and continued on his way.
In the blink of an eye, it disappeared from the spot.

The former site of Tu Yue.
The once mighty Tuyue City is now a scene of utter devastation.
Large areas of buildings collapsed and were mostly destroyed, with only a few remaining still burning fiercely.
Thick black smoke billowed into the sky.
This is the outer city area. The few remaining houses are deserted, with only the occasional blood-red figure flashing among the ruins.
In the distance, amidst the mist, the towering white walls of the inner city, now mostly incomplete, bore large breaches in their center, as if pierced by some kind of massive, rhomboid weapon.
At this moment, beneath the ruins of a pavilion, lies a huge hollow.
Some of the remnants from the original Moon Tower gathered here. They were the few who barely survived, having been abandoned by Tu Yue as cannon fodder to resist the enemy.
When Tu Yue saw that the situation was not good, she ordered all the Blood Ancestors except Ning Qianzhi to fight the enemy, while she, Xie Jun, and Ning Qianzhi fled together.
Upon realizing something was amiss, the Blood Ancestors of the Tai Su Yuan Pan immediately withdrew, using various relics and abilities to escape from Tu Yue.
Several of the Blood Ancestors of the Extreme Desire Heaven died in battle, leaving only the two who are now in the present day. Both are severely injured and can only hide away, barely surviving.
After emerging from the gate, the forces of Purgatory and Extreme Cold quickly cleared away the obstacles from the Mist People's forces, and immediately clashed with each other as if they were sworn enemies.
Now the battlefield is far from the old site of Tu Yue, and the area has returned to its long-lost tranquility.
However, such calm does not equate to safety.
Because of the omnipresent purgatory and extreme cold pollution, any life that dares to step into this place will be corrupted into a purgatory creature or an extreme cold creature in a very short time.
Inside the cave. In a simple cave room.
Hong Ling and Hong Lingxiang stood with their heads down in front of their mother, not saying a word, the atmosphere heavy with tension.
Mother Hong Wuxin sat upright on a stone chair, wearing only a simple three-piece silver armor, with a slender sword blade emitting colorful light resting on her knees.
“The power is fading from my bloodline, fading away,” she whispered. “You should all understand what this means.”
“It’s the city lord, he must have fallen.” Hong Ling’s face darkened, and he answered in a deep voice.
“As beings of the original bloodline, we have lost the power of our bloodline and are unable to resist the pollution of purgatory and extreme cold. Perhaps before long, we will all lose our minds and become tyrannical creatures of purgatory or cold and ruthless beings of extreme cold,” Hong Wuxin said softly, taking out a small makeup mirror and gently examining her beautiful face.
Before long, as her original bloodline deteriorates, she too will rapidly decay, transforming into one of those mindless monsters outside. They had long suspected the city lord might perish, but now it has finally been confirmed.
"The day before yesterday, I saw the fifth one lead his men out," Hong Lingxiang said softly. "Mother, why don't we give it a try too?"
"The outer perimeter is full of wandering decaying creatures and infernal creatures; it's useless," Hong Wuxin shook his head slightly.
She turned around and looked at her beloved son and daughter.
"You still have a chance to find Yunxiazi; she can take you out."
"Mother! Your strength is still there, it hasn't completely faded, we still have hope." Hong Ling said urgently.
“No, there aren’t any left. The super-adaptors are surrounded now, and the only one with spare strength is Yunxiazi, who is the fastest. Go and beg her.” Hong Wuxin stretched out his finger, made a horizontal cut on his abdomen, cut open a bloody gash, and then reached in to pull out a delicate little ball that shimmered with a faint silver light and strange patterns.
"Use this, and she'll agree to your request."
She let go, allowing the ball to fly up on its own and land precisely in her son Hong Ling's hands.
"Go on, just leave me here alone, don't come back." She turned around, her back to the two of them.
"I've lived and enjoyed so many years, that's enough for me."
“Mother!!” Hong Ling and his sister’s voices were slightly choked with emotion.
At the last moment, if it weren't for their mother unleashing her trump card and helping Han Xiaoyue and the others block the aftershocks of the battle between the Duke of Purgatory and the Queen of Extreme Cold, they would have died more than ten days ago that afternoon.
The price for saving the hundreds of people evacuating from the inner city was that Hong Wuxin was corrupted by the Purgatory and could only hide underground to endure the damage with great difficulty.
Now that the original bloodline has begun to degenerate, such resistance is no longer hopeful. The balance has been broken, and if they do not leave, they will only be completely torn apart and devoured by their corrupted and alienated mother.
"Go, together with the remnants of the Rain Palace, go find Yunxiazi while Han Xiaoyue and the others can still hold them off a little," Hong Wuxin said softly. "You have a good relationship with Qingfeng Dao, and since you've already given them that item, they won't refuse you."
Suddenly, an invisible force pushed the two of them away.
The cave entrance crashed down, blocking their view.
Hong Ling and Hong Lingxiang stood there with red eyes, their lips trembling as they knelt and kowtowed before the stone gate, then got up and turned to leave.
Hong Wuxin was left alone inside the cave.
She stood up and gently stroked her almost perfect curves.
"Death. I have never feared it. I only regret it."
"With Mother dead, Tu Yue's era should also come to an end."
In an instant, her figure transformed into a streak of purple light, breaking through the cave wall above and bursting out of the ground.
The moment she flew off the ground, the earth trembled not far away, and countless crimson flames gathered from all directions, coalescing into a dark red humanoid figure with ram horns more than ten meters tall.
The humanoid figure had hollow black eyes and was covered in a ferocious and rough full set of black and red armor.
"Roar!!" The dark red humanoid roared like a wild beast, grabbing at her with a palm.
"kill!!!"
Hong Wuxin also mobilized all his strength, and a dazzling light shone between his eyebrows, forcibly freezing his opponent for a moment, and then flew away from his son and daughter from the side.
The dark red humanoid figure gave chase, and the two disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.
Several minutes later, Hong Wuxin's speed gradually slowed down, and the strength in her body began to tremble and become unstable.
By drawing away the most powerful purgatory lord, the surrounding survivors also had a chance to escape.
This was the last act of kindness she left for the children.
Hong Wuxin turned around and took one last look in the direction the child had left, a barely perceptible trace of longing flashing in her eyes.
Boom!!
The next moment, her body exploded.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!!"
In the distance, a group of soldiers seized the opportunity to emerge from underground and rush out of the city.
Yun Xiazi took the lead, followed by several palace masters and deputy palace masters of the Rain Palace whom he had rescued alone, including Jiang Zhixia, the master of Liu Wujun and Xia Si.
Hong Ling and her brother followed at the back, struggling to keep up with the others.
Their original bloodline receded, and their strength and speed also weakened considerably.
Aside from them, there were some disciples of Qingfeng Dao, including Huang Shan and Chen Xiangzhi.
They were all key targets for Yunxiazi's rescue efforts.
Their current target is Qingfeng Herb Garden outside the city. It is Lin Hui's secret base, which was managed by Yunxiazi after Tao Xuehai's death. It can block out the night fog and has natural maze ruins to isolate it from the pursuit of powerful monsters.
Yunxiazi was extremely fast, and her strength had also increased significantly thanks to Lin Hui's help, but unfortunately, she had too many people to protect.
At this moment, everyone sped away, and the slowest person slowed down the entire group, immediately attracting the attention of the remaining monsters.
"We've found that person's scent."
In the distance, the mist surged in the sky, and suddenly two dark red ram-horn-shaped figures with black wings on their backs broke through the mist and hovered in the air.
