âItâs the Undying Immortal Kingâs personal weapon, the Luminous Lotus ThroneâŚâ Lu Yun took a deep breath. So someone had shattered the Undying Immortal Kingâs true spirit and itâd returned to its origins to appear here! âWhat kind of place is this?â The question rose in the young manâs heart.
The sword pagoda belonged to the Mindful Immortal Potentate and Terra Demon once slumbered inside it. The auras of the five immortal kings under the central immortal emperor had appeared here, and the entrance to this place of burial was sealed by the sword pagoda before he claimed it.
âForget it, I need to get the Void Sacred Flame first.â Lu Yun put everything out of his mind.
Numerous cultivators were already charging for the flame. However, being ranked third on the list of heavenly fires, the Void Sacred Flameâs might could be only described as world-ending. The sea of flames twenty-five kilometers around it was the fire that it was projecting into its surroundings.
Many flung themselves into the sea. Despite operating incantations to part the flames, they didnât even have a chance to scream before being reduced to ashes.
âWhat a bunch of idiots.â The young man in purple didnât move; he simply sneered at the cultivators fighting each other to fling themselves to their deaths. âIt looks like no one can fight me for the Void Sacred Flame.â
A happy smile spread over the young manâs face. âThe ninety-ninth prince has gone to the north. Heâs the only one in this place of burial who can possibly pose a challenge to me.â
âWhat should we do, Your Grace?â asked a fawning peak awakened cultivator next to the young man called Yan Beifei.
âWait for everyone to die. We can collect the flame then.â Yan Beifei crossed his arms over his chest and looked on with amusement.
After the Origin Kingâs army lost at Dark City, most of them returned to Great Xia. There were only a few who stayed, including Yan Guichiâs youngest son, Yan Beifei.

Yan Beifei and Nalan Tu were the two most accomplished youngsters of the Origin Sectâs younger generation. Both were awakened stage and their potential beyond compare. Yan Beifei was a hair weaker than Nalan Tu, but he was much younger than Nalan Tu.
As much as Yan Guichi doted on his youngest son, he didnât overly spoil the child. Yan Beifeiâs accomplishments were solely due to his own efforts. None of it came from his father.
âYour Grace, look over there!â Another awakened cultivator suddenly pointed at Lu Yun. âThat⌠seems to be Lu Tianlingâs grandson!â
âWhat?!â Yan Beifei shook and snapped his gaze in the relevant direction. âYouâre right, itâs Lu Yun! You spurn the avenue to heaven and force your way into hell instead⌠Since Iâve caught sight of you, Lu Yun, come and meet your fate!â
He ignored the cultivators fighting over the Void Sacred Flame and flew toward the Lu young master.
âLu Yun! To think that Iâd see you here!â Yan Beifei landed right in front of the other and brandished an immortal sword that belched lilac sword light. âCome quietly with me or Iâll break your limbs and cripple your cultivation.â
Three dozen awakened cultivators jointly sealed off the void to reinforce his threat.
âAnd you areâŚâ Lu Yun frowned, not recognizing the speaker.
âYouâll know who I am when you come with me,â Yan Beifei cackled and didnât wait for a response. Sword light flashed from his weapon and made for Lu Yunâs head. He knew that this was a rare chance in a thousand years, that it would be beyond difficult to capture Lu Yun after leaving Immortal Burial Valley.
While the Fengxian King said that heâd repaid the Lu family for their favor, he still secretly opposed the Origin King. Thus, the latter didnât dare openly move against the Lus.
Killing intent flashed through Lu Yunâs eyes. Though he didnât know who the newcomer was, someone who bore him so much enmity could only come from the Origin Kingâs side.
âYou court death!â Lu Yun twisted into a massive crimson dragon when he saw the sword light and pounced on Yan Beifei.
âI knew youâd do that!â the young man roared with laughter. He stepped through the air and exploded into thousands of images. Each of them erupted with cutting sword light that slashed at Lu Yun.
Lu Yunâs dragon image was eviscerated in less than half a breath. If it wasnât for him roaming through the air through the Nine Forms of the Cloud Dragon, this move wouldâve gravely injured him.
âVoid Fissure, Slash!â Yan Beifeiâs second technique arrived before Lu Yun could catch his breath.
Purple sword radiance ballooned thirty thousand meters tall and the void trembled with the movement of Yan Beifeiâs sword. Hints of what seemed like spatial fissures bubbled up in the air.
Yan Beifeiâs just a cultivator, but heâs feeling around the trajectory of the rules and beginning to comprehend his own dao! Lu Yunâs eyes widened. Yan Beifei was an incredible genius!
Someone like him possessed boundless potential and would be one of the most preeminent immortals once he ascended. It was possible that he'd bypass the lower ranks and jump ahead to a mid rank immortal!
The trajectory of the rules was typically accessible after one reached golden immortal. One used a hint of that understanding to slowly set foot on oneâs own dao. Yan Beifeiâs Void Fissure showed signs of the rules and not the five elements. His was the rule of the void.
He canât be permitted to live! A cold light flashed through Lu Yunâs eyes as his aura flared and he deployed Fire Slaughter of the Five Elements of Absolute Slaughter. Rays of fiery sword light revolved around him and blocked Yan Beifeiâs Void Fissure. At the same time, he was flung back for nearly two hundred meters.
âSo strong!â Lu Yunâs arms were slightly numb.
âYou blocked a move at sixty percent of my full strength?â Yan Beifei blinked. He wanted to take Lu Yun alive and force Lu Tianling to acquiesce to their demands, so he hadnât brought his full strength to bear. âYouâre Lu Tianlingâs grandson alright! Since sixty percent wonât kill you, Iâm using my full strength next!â
As his subordinates had sealed off the area with a massive formation, he wasnât afraid of his quarry getting away. Yan Beifei raised his sword with both hands and slashed at the air. A black fissure grew beneath it, instantaneously cutting through the void and shooting for Lu Yun.
It was only one meter long, but it was a true void fissure. Spatial turbulence could be glimpsed through it and it arrived at its target in one thousandth of a breath.
The fissure ripped the young man apart.
âOh? That was a fake? Looks like you obtained quite an immortal treasure here.â Yan Beifei wasnât surprised to see Lu Yun be cut apart. Lu Tianlingâs grandson wouldnât be who he was if he died so easily.
âYou comprehended a hint of the trajectory of the rules as an awakened cultivator. Youâre stronger than Yan Guichi.â Lu Yun reappeared three hundred meters away from his opponent. âBut Iâve seen too many people like you and few are those who can make it to the end.â
âMy thoughts precisely,â Yan Beifei answered leisurely instead of flying into a rage. âThere have been plenty of perverse geniuses since time immemorial, but even more fall on their way to becoming one of the truly powerful. You will join their numbers today.â
His sword erupted with radiance once more; sword light filled the void like it was a river.
Under the purple sword light, Lu Yun found the void growing turbulent. There would likely be numerous unexpected outcomes if he tried his Teleportation combat art now. This turbulence was layered onto the void fissure from earlier. âIf I canât dodge it, then Iâll just kill you!â
Immortals Forbidden flared with scintillating crimson light. It was as if a blazing sun rose from the air.
The first stroke of the Nine Oscillations of the Heavenly Sword!
Lu Yun utilized another sword dao technique alongside the Nine Oscillations this timeâFire Slaughter! Raging sword qi permeated the air!
A brilliant sun rose, so blindingly bright that it threatened to blind onlookers. Each ray of light was a terrifying beam of sword light that could destroy the world.
Crimson and purple sword light clashed against each other, drawing groaning sounds of overtaxation from the void. Void Shift was a sword technique that threw space into disorder. The Nine Oscillations of the Heavenly Sword melded sword qi into the void. When the two crashed together, the void itself was ripped apart. How else would mere cultivators affect space?
The two rays of light negated each other and created a brief vacuum in the air. The energy of heaven and earth was churned to pieces and destroyed.
Cultivators off the battlefield regarded the disturbance with incredulity.
âWho are these two? Can immortals actually come inside, after all?â Some hearts pounded ferociously.
âWho wouldâve thought that this level of character would be here⌠I wonder who they are to fight like this?â Those from Great Xia understood that only perverse geniuses from Great Xia could issue a challenge that would create this kind of commotion. It was a chance to broaden their horizons since fights between this level of genius were far and few in between.
