Chapter 24: Broken

Tang Yun was burning with anger; he knew that his father's residual soul was trapped here and must have suffered endless torture.

"Han Xiaotian, you will die a horrible death!" Tang Yun roared, the Shennong Cauldron fragment within his body rotating frantically, and a powerful force erupted, impacting the Tiangang Beidou Formation.

"Overestimating yourself!" Han Xiaotian sneered, increasing the input of True Qi.

The Tiangang Beidou Formation shone brightly, firmly trapping Tang Yun and leaving him unable to move.

"Hahaha... Medicine King descendant, nothing more than this!" Han Xiaotian laughed triumphantly.

Just then, a Shennong Cauldron fragment suddenly appeared in Tang Yun's hand, flashing with a dazzling light.

"Break for me!" Tang Yun roared, smashing the Shennong Cauldron fragment fiercely against the stone stele.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the stone stele shattered, and the Tiangang Beidou Formation disintegrated along with it.

The Han family experts vomited blood and fell to the ground, their eyes filled with terror.

"This... how is this possible?!" Han Xiaotian looked at this scene in disbelief.

Tang Yun ignored him and walked quickly to the shattered stone stele.

Among the fragments of the stone stele, he discovered a tattered piece of sheepskin, on which were recorded some obscure and difficult-to-understand characters.

"This is..." Tang Yun carefully identified it, his heart shocked. "This is a remnant page of my mother's 'Medicine King Scripture'!"

Tang Yun was overjoyed; he didn't expect to find the relic left by his mother here.

He carefully put away the sheepskin and then looked up at Han Xiaotian.

"Han Xiaotian, today I will make you pay the price for what you have done!"

Tang Yun's eyes were filled with killing intent as he walked toward Han Xiaotian step by step.

Han Xiaotian was terrified; he knew he was no match for Tang Yun and turned to run.

"Want to run? Too late!" Tang Yun sneered, his figure flashed, instantly appearing in front of Han Xiaotian, and he threw a punch.

"Bang!"

Han Xiaotian flew backward like a kite with a broken string, falling heavily to the ground, spitting blood.

"You... you can't kill me!" Han Xiaotian shouted in terror. "My Han family has huge power in Mobei; if you kill me, the Han family will definitely not let you go!"

Tang Yun looked at him coldly: "My Tang family is not to be trifled with either!"

He was about to finish off Han Xiaotian when suddenly, a powerful force surged out from the shattered stone stele, shrouding him within it.

"This is..." Tang Yun felt a powerful suction force devouring his power.

He fought desperately, but to no avail.

Just then, phantoms appeared behind him, men and women, old and young, all exuding powerful auras.

"Medicine King... War King..." Tang Yun recognized the identities of these phantoms, his heart filled with shock.

These phantoms were the inheritances of past Medicine Kings and War Kings!

They seemed to sense Tang Yun's crisis and poured their power into Tang Yun's body one after another.

Tang Yun felt an unprecedented power surge throughout his entire body, filling him with strength.

"Roar!"

With a roar, Tang Yun broke free from the suction, and the aura on his body reached its peak.

Just then, an unexpected change occurred!

Han Xiaotian's body suddenly trembled violently, his eyes turned scarlet, and he let out beast-like roars from his mouth.

"Hehehe... finally let me out!"

A cold voice came from Han Xiaotian's mouth, filled with an evil aura.

Tang Yun's heart tightened; he felt a familiar aura, that was... his father's aura!

"Father?" Tang Yun looked at Han Xiaotian in disbelief.

"Hahaha... Tang Yun, can't you even recognize your own father?" Han Xiaotian, or rather Tang Yun's father, let out a wild laugh.

"You... you possessed Han Xiaotian?!" Tang Yun was shocked.

"That's right!" Tang Yun's father sneered. "This piece of trash is just right to be my container!"

He looked greedily at the shattered stone stele, his eyes filled with desire.

"This power of the Martial Dao Stele is mine!"

He stretched out his hands and grabbed toward the stone stele.

"Father, stop!" Tang Yun shouted. "This power is too dangerous!"

"Shut up!" Tang Yun's father roared. "What do you know? This is the power of the War King!"

He frantically absorbed the power of the stone stele, and the aura on his body grew stronger and stronger.

"Hahaha... I am finally going to become the War King!"

He looked at Tang Yun, his eyes filled with mockery.

"You can't even save your own father; you really are a piece of trash!"

A flash of pain crossed Tang Yun's eyes; he knew that his father had been consumed by the power.

He took a deep breath, a flash of determination in his eyes.

"Since that's the case, then let me end all of this!"

He slowly raised his hand, aiming at the entire stone mountain.

"This is the answer!"

Tang Yun clenched his fist, and a terrifying force erupted.

"Boom!"

With a heaven-shaking loud bang, the entire stone mountain instantly collapsed, turning into powder.

The moment the stone mountain collapsed, dust blocked the sun, and rubble fell like rain. Tang Yun was blown away by the shockwave of the explosion, falling heavily more than ten meters away, spitting out a mouthful of blood that stained his clothes red. He struggled to crawl up, his vision blurred, and his ears buzzing.

"Father..." Tang Yun murmured low, his heart filled with mixed feelings. He had personally destroyed the stone mountain and personally buried his father, who had been consumed by power.

The dust gradually settled, revealing a huge deep pit; the once towering stone mountain had disappeared, leaving only rubble and dust everywhere.

Just then, Tang Yun heard a faint groaning sound. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Lin Xiyue lying not far away, her face pale and her breath weak.

"Xiyue!" Tang Yun's heart tightened, and he hurriedly rushed over.

Lin Xiyue slowly opened her eyes, saw Tang Yun's anxious face, and smiled weakly: "I'm fine..."

Before she could finish her words, she suddenly coughed violently, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

"Don't talk!" Tang Yun helped Lin Xiyue up and checked her injuries.

Lin Xiyue's hand was tightly clutching a piece of armor that was flashing with strange light; the surface of the armor was flowing with color, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

"This is..." Tang Yun recognized this piece of armor; it was the legendary Taixu Armor!

"I found it..." Lin Xiyue said weakly. "But... it seems... it is backlashing against me..."

As soon as the words fell, the armor in Lin Xiyue's hand suddenly shone brightly, and a powerful force surged into her body. Lin Xiyue let out a painful groan, her eyes closed, and she fell into a coma.

"Xiyue!" Tang Yun called out anxiously, but there was no response.

He picked up Lin Xiyue, his heart filled with worry. The power of the Taixu Armor was too powerful; an ordinary person like Lin Xiyue simply couldn't bear it.

Suddenly, a rift appeared in the deep pit, and from the rift radiated an eerie black light.

"Space-Time Rift..." Tang Yun's heart tightened; he knew this was the entrance to the Taixu Illusory Realm. ===== CHAPTER 25 =====
