Immortal of the Ages

Chapter 453 - The Nian Wants Out!

BOOM! A dense blood mist suddenly rose from the body of the red-robed woman, and tens of thousands of blood bats swirled out, swooping towards Yun Xiao's Flying Sword!

All of these were transformations of the crimson Life Sigil! She used the Life Sigil to block Yun Xiao's sword, twisting her delicate body to dodge in a life-or-death crisis.

"His Sword Heart power has already dropped by more than half, I still have a chance!" The red-robed woman moved her cold gaze, igniting a belief of counterattack in her eyes, with a sword and a sigil in hand, she turned around to counterattack Yun Xiao.

BUZZ! The crimson Life Sigil, taking the form of a sky-full of blood bats, attacked Yun Xiao. The entire world in front of him was filled with blood mist, and a scarlet killing intent covered everything.

The blood bats emitted a sound that, while not harsh to the ear, caused dizziness and a sensation as if one's head would split apart!

HUM! Yun Xiao caught the three-inch Sword Soul that flew back to him, transforming it into a three-foot azure Palm Sword!

PUFF! PUFF! PUFF! In the next instant, tens of thousands of blood bats engulfed him like a giant cocoon. Those blood bats, baring their fangs, were about to tear into Yun Xiao's flesh!

At the same time, the red-robed woman, holding the crimson Sword Soul, turned into a red shadow, stabbing towards Yun Xiao's heart. The person and the sword unified, turning into a blood-colored storm!

"You had a chance, and you didn't cherish it?" Facing such a killing intent when his Sword Heart power was exhausted, Yun Xiao's face also surged with a cold light.

The Prison Warden Life Sigil on his forehead, after devouring the Life Sigils of 3,000 Black Battalion Inscription Cultivator elites, had grown to 3,000,000 Runes, surpassing that of the red-robed woman!

Although the Prison Warden Life Sigil couldn't absorb Sword Heart power, Yun Xiao's own strength wasn't lacking either, and it also possessed some special property advantages!

As the blood bats came biting, Yun Xiao transformed the Prison Warden Life Sigil into the Dao Dragon form. The violet nine-headed dragon coiled around his body, endowing him with a divine and domineering aura!

ROAR! As the dragon pattern roared, it collided head-on with the blood bats in close combat!

Without a doubt, the blood bats of the crimson Life Sigil were formidable. But in the face of the nine-headed dragon, they struggled to gain an advantage in a short time. The blood-colored, sinister force, upon touching the purifying power of the Prison Warden Life Sigil, would ignite and smoke, emitting a sizzling wail!

For Yun Xiao, even without the Sword Hearts, his Prison Warden Life Sigil proved entirely sufficient.

With a buzz, his eyes fiercely locked onto the red-robed woman hidden among the blood bats, advancing a step and thrusting forward with his Palm Sword!

Primordial Triforce Sword Art, Boundless Dao!

Yun Xiao, with the desperation of a man with nothing left to lose, unleashed all the power of the Sword Hearts, causing another dark azure storm to swirl around the sword!

With a loud buzz, a primordial cyclone formed atop the blade, condensing the dark azure storm to its absolute limit. Fused with a power that could rend space and over 5,000,000 layers of Sword Aura, it unleashed a powerful explosion!

BOOM! With Yun Xiao's strike, the blood bats before him disintegrated, and the primordial sword pierced through, arriving right before the red-robed woman!

KLANG! KLANG! KLANG! With a series of clashes, Yun Xiao's Heaven Burial Sword Soul forced open the Blood Child Sword Soul. He was not just fierce but also precise, targeting the most vulnerable spots on the red-robed woman until the final thrust pierced her left chest, exiting through her back!

"Ah..." The red-robed woman's movements suddenly ceased. The intense pain in her chest caused her to tremble, her complexion turning deathly pale. Both her Life Sigil and her Sword Soul lost their luster.

She knew this might have been Yun Xiao's final strike in his frenzied state, but sadly, she couldn't defend against it.

In her moment of despair, she dropped all pretense of pride, adopting a pitiful demeanor and tearfully said to Yun Xiao, "Don't kill me, I can be useful to you!"

"What use could you possibly have for me?" Yun Xiao withdrew the Heaven Burial Sword Soul, pointing it at her brow, his voice cold.

"I descended from the heavens, a supervisor from the Great Dao Celestial Realm!" the red-robed woman hurriedly claimed.

"The Great Dao Celestial Realm? A world after ascension?" Yun Xiao raised an eyebrow.

"Yes! Beyond Yang Immortals are the True Immortals, ascending by daylight, the end of the Immortal path..." the red-robed woman said, biting her lip. "I can return now, report to the Celestial Court about the Three Immortals’ poisoning of this lower world. The Celestial Court will surely carry out divine punishment, exterminating the Three Immortals!"

She had expected Yun Xiao to take her words seriously, but instead, he laughed derisively.

"The Celestial Court sends down a hybrid like you to supervise the mortal world, and yet you turn a blind eye to its suffering, serving the Three Immortals, enjoying the conveniences and benefits they provide. Why should I believe you, or the so-called aloof True Immortals who know nothing of hardship?" Yun Xiao said calmly.

"You just don't understand," the red-robed woman said, her forehead beaded with cold sweat and her chest still dripping blood and throbbing with pain, yet she forced a cheerful smile. "Cultivation is a path in pursuit of righteousness. Beneath the heavenly ladder to the Immortal Realm, the higher worlds are more civilized, and the stronger the cultivator, the more saintly and noble they become, embracing the universe to transcend themselves!"

"Is that so?" Yun Xiao could only laugh in disbelief.

"It's true, it is a sanc..." The red-robed woman was about to clarify when Yun Xiao's sword suddenly moved!

With a flash of the blade, he swung his sword and beheaded the red-robed woman.

This enchanting and beautiful woman, in just a blink, became a corpse in shock.

Beauty and bones, devoid of meaning now.

With a thud, her body collapsed to the ground.

Yun Xiao indifferently crouched down, retrieving a Bag of Holding from her embrace.

The entirety of the Primordial Academy's daoist spells and teachings were contained within.

Of course, there might also be some items from the Great Dao Celestial Realm.

Yun Xiao also consumed her Sword Soul, Life Sigil, and Seed of Creation.

In an instant, his Sword Aura layer count reached 5,500,000, and his Life Sigil grew to 3,800,000 Runes.

After dealing with her, he used the Heaven Burial Sword Soul to lift the red-robed woman's shocked face.

"First, you got it backwards. The higher the world, the fiercer the competition, and the more ruthless it becomes. One becomes Immortal, a million perish; you say they embody compassion, I don't believe it.

"Second, you claim to come from above, which is all the more reason for me to kill you. I act on my own. Relying on you means entrusting my fate to you, and I'm not fond of taking such risks."

Had she not had so much baggage, Yun Xiao might have considered using her. But now, it was cleaner to just end her! As for her secrets, Yun Xiao could slowly uncover them among her possessions.

After incinerating the red-robed woman's corpse, Yun Xiao returned to the Mystic Zenith Temple's square with the heads of the Manor Masters and Dharma Crowns.

THUD! THUD! THUD! He tossed those heads into a large cauldron filled with the All Life Devouring Gu.

"Uh..." Over a hundred thousand disciples and Sacred Sages from the Primordial Academy looked on in shock and disbelief, their minds buzzing with questions.

"The combined forces of the Three Immortals in the Mystic Zenith Temple, along with over 10,000 troops from the Black Battalion, he slaughtered them all..."

The enormity of this event was staggering!

A tidal wave of astonishment surged through everyone's hearts.

After finishing, Yun Xiao stood on the platform, waving his hand to the crowd.

"Dharma Crown Yun, what should we, I mean, do?" Yue Molin mustered the courage to ask.

"Stay put, and then, never practice the Ascension Technique. That technique doesn't lead to the heavens but straight to hell."

After speaking, Yun Xiao vanished into thin air, disappearing from everyone's sight.

Back at the Immortal Asylum in the Nine Hells, the skinless Nian glanced outside.

"Another bug gone! Only one golden bug left outside!" it growled. "This is the best opportunity, I'm breaking out!"

As it spoke, it was surrounded by tiny bugs imbued with the power of desolation, wrapping it tightly.

"Wait a bit longer, let me eat a bit more, you keep playing dead," a voice from within it said.

"Damn it, all this dithering. I'm the Nian! The Year Beast! This is the best time, I want to go out for the New Year!"
