Chapter 593: Ye Xu’s Grand Gesture

Mu Fanyin’s heart raced.

That Dao Ancestor had activated the Ninth Heaven’s Punishment without a moment’s hesitation, clearly intent on a swift conclusion. She had never imagined the Haotian lineage could be so ruthless, willing to consign all life in the Nine Regions to death!

Even Heaven showed mercy to life.

But this lineage, styling itself the executor of Heaven’s way, grasped only power, shirking all responsibility.

Yi Tianxing’s gaze held both sorrow and rage.

The Haotian lineage deserved annihilation!

Boom!

The seven-colored tribulation thunder surged, its dreadful heavenly majesty sealing the Nine Regions in moments. Divine beings of the Dao stood imposingly atop the realms.

Their presence far surpassed even the heavenly punishment summoned by Shentu.

"Hahahaha…"

Shentu laughed maniacally.

"Hmph! Who dares disrespect the heavenly might? None of you shall survive!"

Thud!

Mu Fanyin shattered Shentu’s primordial spirit with a single palm, her face etched with disgust.

"Hush!"

Her thoughts locked onto Ye Xu.

The Ninth Heaven’s Punishment—Heaven’s Edict to Annihilate all Worlds—was beyond her power to withstand.

Hum.

Suddenly.

The divine beings of the Dao began chanting. Their sacred language, resonant with a terrifying power, swept across the world as though purging the mortal realm. One after another, celestial venerables heard the words, their expressions shifting eerily, strange smiles stretching across their faces.

The scene bore a striking resemblance to cultivators merging with the Dao.

"It’s the Purification Spell!"

The ancestral dragon’s mind roared with panic.

He had heard the legend of the Purification Spell of the Heavenly Dao.

When the chant was uttered, all life returned to the Dao.

"Master, please act!"

The ancestral dragon revealed his true form, stretching billions of feet long, his roar shaking heaven and earth. But he suffered immensely, clearly struggling to endure the Purification Spell of the Heavenly Dao for long.

"Daoist Brother Chaos!"

The ancestral dragon bellowed.

Mu Fanyin sneered.

However powerful the Chaotic Ancient God was, he remained within the Dao Ancestor Realm. Putting aside whether he could withstand the Ninth Heaven’s Punishment, just the existence of the Haotian lineage alone should be enough to fill him with dread.

A dragon ancestor was not worth the Chaotic Ancient God taking the risk to rescue.

"Master!"

The Eternal Celestial Lord, Bei Di Xuanwu, and other Great Celestial Lords pleaded for help from Ye Xu one after another.

"Heaven’s Execution! Earth’s Destruction!"

In the sea of tribulation, a figure slowly appeared. The young man in the golden robe had a vacant gaze, and his killing intent was immense.

He waved his hand, and the seven-colored tribulation thunder poured like torrential rain, the roaring sound resounding through ten thousand domains.

"The Haotian lineage…"

In the space-time beyond the immortal domain.

Within the boundless chaos.

The Chaotic Ancient God gazed from afar at the world-ending scene, his heart trembling.

Such power meant that even if he were caught in it, survival would be impossible.

"What a terrifying heavenly punishment!"

Hongmeng Hall.

The Hongmeng Dao Ancestor, clad in blue-green robes, stared intently at the Ninth Heaven’s Punishment. "A pity they encountered Heaven’s Secret Pavilion."

She was masters of the art of heaven’s machinery.

When Qin Yi descended the mountain, she had divined that Qin Yi would be safe for the time being.

This also proved that even the Ninth Heaven’s Punishment could not destroy Heaven’s Secret Pavilion.

At the same time,

In the Luoshen Dynasty, inside a divine palace, incense smoke curled upward. An altar table, laden with offerings, held a divine tree statue identical to the one in Yuqing Palace.

The moment the heavenly punishment struck, the divine tree statue stirred faintly.

It opened its eyes, holding boundless wisdom within its gaze.

"The Haotian lineage has also joined to test them now," it murmured. "Where did Heaven’s Secret Pavilion truly originate?"

"Friend or foe?"

At this very instant,

Countless powerful auras stirred and revived across all domains of the yang realm.

Their gazes aligned as one.

All converged upon the Canglan Immortal Domain.

…

Canglan Divine City.

The seven-colored tribulation thunder engulfed the Nine Regions, purifying the Great Dao of heaven and earth.

The earth of the Nine Regions seemed to sink into an eternal stillness. The Great Dao, vital qi, and fortunes decayed and withered entirely under the might of the Heavenly Dao Purification Spell.

This was the true apocalyptic calamity!

"Haotian must not be defied!"

Upon Heaven,

the Young man in the golden robe remarked indifferently.

Those who offended Heaven’s majesty faced death without mercy!

"Is that so?"

Suddenly,

a hollow voice reached the Young man in the golden robe’s ears. Ye Xu had somehow appeared within the tribulation sea, where Tribulation Thunder rolled and the Purification Spell coiled through the void, yet he seemed entirely oblivious.

The moment he spoke, space and time froze.

The seven-colored tribulation thunder solidified in the void.

The Purification Spell of the Heavenly Dao likewise fell silent.

The earth of the Nine Regions plunged into stillness.

"Master!"

Even if Su Mu, the Formless Demon Lord, Dao Sovereign Qingyuan, Li Ruoyu and others had tried to think with their feet, it wouldn’t have taken them long to figure out Ye Xu had acted.

"The master of Heaven’s Secret Pavilion!"

"He has finally made his move!"

Powerful beings like the ancestral dragon, Bei Di, and Eternal Celestial Lord gazed intently at the heavens overhead.

Their sight pierced through the sea of tribulation, faintly discerning Ye Xu’s silhouette.

Utter shock gripped their hearts.

The power Ye Xu displayed far surpassed their imaginings.

At least Dao One!

A living Dao One!

This was a living legend!

"You are the master of Heaven’s Secret Pavilion?" The Young man in the golden robe, recovering from his initial fright, gradually calmed himself. He had long harbored suspicions about the master of Heaven’s Secret Pavilion’s strength.

"It is I,"

Ye Xu responded lightly.

As his words faded, the seven-colored tribulation thunder vanished into thin air.

A soft snap of his fingers dispersed the forty-nine divine beings of the Dao like wisps of smoke. The power of the Purification Spell of the Heavenly Dao, too, was silently erased by an immensely greater force.

The seven-colored tribulation sea ceased to exist.

Peace returned to the earth of the Nine Regions.

A few beads of cold sweat trickled down the Young man in the golden robe’s forehead.

Ye Xu looked at him, a faint smile gracing his lips. "My surmise was correct. I can sense the Pure Land through you."

"Daoist friend, help me with a favor."

The young man in the golden robe’s pupils suddenly constricted, as if he had remembered something terrifying.

"Impossible!"

"It’s not up to you!"

Ye Xu sneered coldly, and the divine being of the Dao from the young man in the golden robe’s Great Dao World was forced to manifest forcibly.

This divine being was forged by heavenly will.

Through it, one could sense the Pure Land.

The stronger the divine being of the Dao was, the clearer the perception would be.

"Do you want to pull the Pure Land into the present world?" the young man in the golden robe said in horror. "No!"

"Master of Heaven’s Secret Pavilion, you are going against heaven! All living beings will be buried because of your rebellious actions!"

The young man in the golden robe was utterly terrified, completely losing his composure.

Hearing this, everywhere in heaven and earth, all the powerful beings who were watching this place, such as Celestial Lords, Great Celestial Lords, and Dao Ancestors, could not help but be moved.

The master of Heaven’s Secret Pavilion truly intended to rebel against heaven!

The Pure Land monitored the world, upholding heavenly will.

Once it fell into the Mortal World, it would no longer be lofty and exalted.

Moreover, it was being forcibly pulled into the world!

Ye Xu’s expression was indifferent.

Since he was going to play, naturally, he had to enjoy it thoroughly.

He pointed with one finger at the divine being of the Dao’s forehead. With a rumble, the young man in the golden robe’s Great Dao World shattered, and a heavy heavenly authority bloomed from the divine being of the Dao.

A mysterious light surged upward into the sky.

Hoom!

As if it was a key, the mysterious light submerged into the firmament above, and a bizarre world of the Pure Land gradually appeared in everyone’s sight.

That world was boundless, seemingly covering the entire yang realm.

It seemed to border the yang realm, but in reality, it was separated by boundless time and space.

Boom!

The mysterious light poured into the world of the Pure Land like a divine chain, piercing through the world.

Ye Xu grasped the mysterious light and, using it as a medium, erupted with force, pulling violently downward.

Rumble rumble!

The world of the Pure Land shook violently; the sky seemed to be shaking fiercely, constantly approaching the entire yang realm.

"The Master is crazy!" exclaimed the ancestral dragon in great shock.

"If the Pure Land descended, it would surely crush the entire yang realm! No one can withstand this calamity!"

Bei Di and Celestial Lord Linglong, among others, stared in horror.

"Master, you must not do this!"

Mu Fanyin declared sternly.

Pulling the sacred world into the Mortal World would deal a devastating blow to the yang realm, causing countless lives to perish.

"We implore you, Master, to stop!"

Innumerable cultivators knelt upon the ground.

They were beings of the yang realm; if it were destroyed, where could they go?

Dao King watched everything unfold with indifferent eyes, a mere spectator from beginning to end. He knew Ye Xu wouldn’t go through with it.

Hearing the pleas, Ye Xu frowned slightly.

This was indeed a difficult dilemma.

His invincible domain could only cover nine immortal domains. If the world of the Pure Land fell, his power couldn’t shield the entire yang realm.

Only those nine immortal domains would survive; the other immortal domains would almost certainly be annihilated.

"This seems to be playing too rough," Ye Xu sighed inwardly.

He still felt guilty about the calamity in the Star Realm within the Pangu universe. He had no desire to personally bring about another world-ending disaster.

"Forget it. I shall spare you all… for now," Ye Xu stated lightly.

"Master shows immense mercy!"

The crowd collectively sighed in relief.

Swoosh!

At that moment, within the Pure Land, atop the Haotian Divine Furnace, a single eye rotated, fixing its gaze upon Ye Xu.

"You dare take another gander?"

Ye Xu snorted coldly.

That eye, he surmised, represented the Will of Heaven. The reprimand caused it to instantly withdraw into the divine furnace, not daring to glance at Ye Xu again.

Snap!

With a flick of his arm, the mysterious light shattered. Bereft of this intermediary, the Pure Land vanished from the world’s sight in the blink of an eye.

The young man in the golden robe exhaled a long breath of relief.

Dying alone to preserve the Pure Land was a trifling matter.

Thud!

Ye Xu smacked the young man’s head. He invoked Easy Dao, sealing away all cultivation and the young man’s Heavenly Dao resonance.

With a mere thought.

The young man in the golden robe appeared in the plaza.

Shen You and Shen Le, along with the black-robed Celestial Lord, were also reduced to absolute helplessness.

Four vaunted bloodlines of Heaven, who deemed themselves divine descendants, were now prisoners.

"Greetings, Master!"

The ancestral dragon kowtowed deeply. "Your divine might saved us all, Master! This lowly dragon pays his deepest respects!"

"Greetings, Master!"

Eternal Celestial Lord, Bei Di Xuanwu, Celestial Lord Linglong, and the multitude all knelt respectfully, offering profound kowtows to Ye Xu.

"The Master is invincible!"

Formless Demon Lord shouted.

"The Master is invincible!"

Instantly.

Canglan City broke into an uproar, cheers rising and falling like waves.

Ye Xu revealed a satisfied smile.

After today.

His image of invincibility was surely secured.
