Chapter 865: Life and death confrontation

Ke Ding snapped back to reality. What did the Ji family have to do with Chen Xun's boundary...

He took a deep breath. During the Battle of the Hundred Immortals, Chen Xun suddenly seemed to go mad, enduring the attacks of countless immortals to unleash life-and-death immortal power on Ji Ruonan.

Even his Five Elements Immortal Body was shattered and reformed in the battle, and he forcibly killed Ji Ruonan in front of all the immortals, shocking the world.

"Shi Rong..." Ke Ding's pupils contracted slightly. He knew more ancient secrets than even the immortals. "Could that boundary... be the place where the Human Emperor rose to power?!"

The Ji family of Boundless was indeed the original clan of the Human Emperor. The despair Shi Rong felt back then was not just from the myriad clans; he must have seen too much ugliness, too much darkness behind the grand worlds...

It was even possible that the mastermind was the Human Emperor's own clan, the Ji family!

A chill ran down Ke Ding's spine. This matter was far from simple. The Three Thousand Great Worlds, the Chaos Immortal Spirit List, the sixth ranking among the myriad clans, a power that could instill fear even in immortals.

The secrets hidden in Shi Rong's heart had never been revealed...

He suddenly let out a mocking laugh: "Human Emperor, since your bloodline was severed, it seems the human race is still unworthy of great responsibility... Even after the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements declared the retreat of the clan, not a single member of the Boundless Human Clan has stepped forward!"

"The human Chen Xun fought alone against the immortals on the Human Clan's Milky Way, which was once the glorious path for humans to enter the Boundless Great World, yet now it's stained inch by inch with the blood of our own."

"Heh... what a grand irony, how dull..."

Ke Ding's timid expression was gone, replaced by extreme sorrow in his eyes. "The previous boundary openers were like this, Shi Rong was like this, the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements was like this, utterly disgusting!"

He felt a stifling frustration in his heart, his eyes becoming incredibly sharp. The sins committed by the Boundless Human Clan over generations would eventually lead to their own downfall.

Ke Ding's face turned icy, suddenly eager to see the day the True Immortal Realm was established.

With the great change in the world's structure, could the Boundless Human Clan still inherit the Human Emperor's legacy and continue to thrive?

Not only Ke Ding, but a seemingly nonsensical remark from Chen Xun also left all the immortals on the Milky Way with mixed feelings, their eyes flickering with subtle light.

In the deep space.

The three supreme immortals exchanged a glance and shook their heads gently.

They naturally knew more than anyone else. Whether it was the boundary of living beings or the branch of the Immortal Alliance managing the boundary's essence, all were manipulated by the Boundless Human Clan, with Ji Ruonan being the mastermind of this generation.

The chaos caused by Shi Rong had to be resolved by him, so he came from the very beginning.

Ji Ruonan never expected that a dignified immortal would fall from grace, nor that Chen Xun would kill him without warning at any cost...

The Boundless Human Clan was willing to step back, simply out of fear of being killed into silence.

A Three Tribulations Immortal, in any great world, would have been a peerless prodigy. Such a loss couldn't be measured by immortal resources.

The sky, the south.

Shi Rong smiled slightly, but beneath his withered skin, the smile was grim and terrifying. It seemed someone had betrayed the human Ji family during the chaotic battle of the immortals, but he didn't know who.

Was it Yuexi...

His expression was calm, his body devoid of immortal power, unable to resonate with the great power of heaven and earth.

Shi Rong's body suddenly transformed into a stream of seven-colored light, like the most brilliant colors of a paintbrush in this world, adorning the otherwise gray grand world...

"Shi Rong!" A sorrowful and gentle cry suddenly echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

Gu Yuexi's noble and elegant face suddenly turned ugly; the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements had already followed...

On the Human Clan's Milky Way, Ye Qingyou was eternally suppressed by the destructive power of the immortal ancient forbidden lands at the riverbank, her immortal blood returning to the earth, nourishing it until the essence was worn away and dissipated.

It became a place where the myriad clans could never reach, a Land of Immortal Fall... Yaoqin and others sighed deeply in their hearts; the immortal Ye Qingyou's final resting place was like this.

However, the immortal corpse remained, which was the best outcome for them. At least she wasn't taken by the myriad clans to the Boundless Immortal Execution Platform.

The immortals remained silent, gazing into the void.

Beyond the grand world, in the Void Land, the Shi Rong Realm.

The once lush and spiritual landscape was now gone, replaced by barren land, cracked soil, and a scene of desolation and decay. The clouds hung low, heavy and gloomy, a picture of ruin and decline.

Whoosh...

A desolate wind howled through this barren world, stirring up dust, with only the echoes of silence and desolation accompanying each step on the parched ground.

Two figures gradually appeared on the sandy land, Chen Xun and Shi Rong.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Shi Rong suddenly coughed violently, each cough seeming to expel the last breath of life, yet he stood firm in the sand, as resilient as iron.

Chen Xun carried a large axe on his back, his silver hair flowing in the wind, his Five Elements Immortal Eyes devoid of emotion, filled only with coldness and determination.

He walked forward step by step, each step seeming to shake the entire Shi Rong Realm, as if the next step could cause the land to collapse.

Shi Rong tilted his head back, his body standing straight: "Chen Xun! Come!"

Boom!

Before he finished speaking, Chen Xun's fist came crashing down like the collapse of heaven and earth, with an unparalleled momentum, striking Shi Rong's face.

In that instant, it was as if the earth responded to the awe-inspiring intent of the punch, sand and dust flying, yellow sand churning, shaking the entire Shi Rong Realm.

Chen Xun's punch, with the force of the law like a thunderous strike, twisted Shi Rong's face, tearing it apart, blood splattering like a waterfall, blooming like sparks in the yellow sand.

Bang...

Shi Rong's battered immortal body was also sent flying by the punch, skimming the ground like a meteor, crashing down with a thud, creating a massive crater.

"Shi Rong, this punch is for the mountains and rivers of my boundary!" Chen Xun roared, his cold and calm demeanor finally giving way to a surge of overwhelming anger.

The immense impact of this strike spread throughout the Shi Rong Realm, as if it would destroy the land.

Yet, Shi Rong staggered to his feet from the crater, his body swaying, unable to summon the mana to wield his life Dao artifact.

Whoosh—

A piercing sound like thunder echoed as Chen Xun followed closely, delivering another decisive punch towards Shi Rong: "This punch is for the myriad beings of my boundary!"

The power of this punch was unparalleled, like the destructive force of the boundary's mountains and rivers, like the fiery wrath of the myriad beings, striking Shi Rong!

Boom...

The earth-shattering sound reverberated throughout the Shi Rong Realm. The supreme immortal who once launched an assault on the Milky Way had no power to resist, his immortal body shattered by the rain of furious punches, disintegrating into dust.

"This punch is for my master and mistress!"

"This punch is for Old Sun!"

...

"This punch is for the countless sages of my boundary!"

With each roar of anger, each punch thrown, Chen Xun unleashed the fury he had suppressed for millennia, the endless repression, the patience of day and night, finally erupting at this moment.

His roars were like the howls of a raging beast, as if to tear apart the sky of the Shi Rong Realm, making heaven and earth tremble. Each roar was like the rumble of ten thousand thunders, shaking the entire world, causing the earth to quake!
