Chapter 94: Tong Tian's Heart Dies

"Elder brother, second brother, what are you doing!"

Tong Tian was originally still warning the two Yuan Shi to be careful.

But the instant he turned around, he found that all his ways of retreat had been jointly cut off by the two!

A bad premonition instantly rose in his heart.

In the gaze he cast toward the two, it was filled with disbelief and a faint, barely perceptible panic!

"Third brother, now that things have come to this, I will no longer hide from you."

Seeing the astonishment and horror on Tong Tian's face, Yuan Shi felt an incomparable ease inside.

"I did not sense any chance to confirm the Dao."

"This place is actually the domain of that mad tiger."

A premonition in the heart is one thing.

Hearing it with one's own ears is another feeling.

Tong Tian only trusted the two Yuan Shi, which is why he followed them here without noticing.

That does not mean he truly knows nothing!

"Why?"

"We are blood brothers!"

"Why are you doing this!"

His successive angry accusations were met only with Yuan Shi's cold sneer and retort.

"Why? You still have the nerve to ask me why!"

"When you were humiliated by Di Tian back then, why didn't you stay silent like us!"

"Clearly, simply leaving would have let you escape all trouble!"

"Why did you have to step forward to show off!"

"We are your elder brothers!"

"Even if one must show off, it should be us who act, to win the favor of all beings and Di Tian's admiration!"

Tong Tian listened to Yuan Shi's absurdly extreme retort.

For a moment, he was stunned in place.

He had no idea how to rebut.

He had just imagined many possibilities, even that Yuan Shi and the other were forced and thus might choose to strike him, which had also crossed his mind.

But he could never have imagined.

The reason the other side wanted to kill him.

Was so absurd it could be called child's play!

"One knows a person's appearance but not the heart…"

"Just because of this, you intend to kill me?"

"I am your blood brother!"

Tong Tian shouted angrily, while Yuan Shi's eyes showed no ripple, still sneering coldly.

"If you die, the stains of our past will, as time passes, gradually fade!"

"Moreover, only by your death can we absorb your essence and more swiftly ascend to the realm of the Mixed‑Primordial Golden Immortal and even the Mixed‑Primordial Great Luo!"

"Then we will have the power to avenge Di Tian!"

Tai Shang at this moment finally spoke, and began to admonish Tong Tian.

"Third brother, do not blame your second brother for being ruthless."

"Now your existence has become the stain that makes us subject to ridicule."

"We too were forced, which is why we resorted to this scheme."

"We still hope you…"

However, before he could finish his words, Tong Tian cut him off with a cold sneer.

"Heh, my dear elder brother, I never imagined you could be so filthy."

"For a little face‑saving, you even colluded with Yuan Shi to try to trap and kill me here."

"Truly, it opened my eyes!"

At this moment Tong Tian was utterly disheartened.

The bonds of dozens of Yuan gatherings and the ties of blood lineage.

Yet they cannot compare to a little face!

This is truly absurd to the extreme! Ridiculously laughable!

"You two, with beastly faces and hearts, vile brutes, I, Tong Tian, am ashamed to be counted among you!"

"Moreover, because the same blood flows within me as yours, I feel filthy and nauseous!!"

Amid his angry roar, Tong Tian suddenly struck his own heart, forcing out six drops of heart essence, and in that instant he severed his own right arm!

【With hand and foot returning loyalty, with essence blood breaking vows, cutting three thousand worldly karmic ties, severing the karmic bond between me and Yuan Shi and Tai Shang!】

The moment the writing with the essence blood in his heart was completed.

Tong Tian lifted his head toward the heavens, paying no heed to the fresh blood spilling from his mouth, and shouted loudly.

"The Great Dao is above! Heaven and Earth bear witness!"

"Our virtues are deficient; I truly dare not keep company with them!"

"From today onward, regardless of whether we meet again, whether souls scatter, whether wealth and glory arise, whether any karmic ties are involved, I will never again have any connection with Di Tian or Yuan Shi!"

"From today onward I am as if a stranger to them, with no chance of mending a broken mirror!!"

A roar rang through heaven and earth, and in the unseen realm it was answered and fell.

The qi fortunes of the three Supreme ones immediately shattered and fell apart!

The blood script that Tong Tian had previously written also transformed into a blood‑jade blade, encircling his body in a ring.

As if pulling something, it struck down fiercely upon it.

In an instant, heaven and earth's clouds and winds changed abruptly, and myriad causes and effects were severed together.

Tong Tian was completely cut off from the two Supremes, with no ties remaining!

His cultivation further dissipated as the essence blood in his heart vanished.

He suddenly fell to the Early Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!

"Hehe, I told you long ago not to be reckless."

Seeing Tong Tian, cut off from all cause and effect, his cultivation fallen, in a wretched state, Yuan Shi's eyes showed no hint of mercy.

Instead, he sneered coldly, mocking his recklessness and thoughtlessness.

"Yet you stubbornly refuse to change your murderous nature."

"The cultivation of the ferocious beast White Tiger is that of a Perfected Mixed‑Primordial Golden Immortal."

"If you had retained your original cultivation, perhaps you could still have fought for your life against it."

"Now, you might not even be able to withstand the beast's roar!"

In response to Yuan Shi's mockery, Tong Tian's eyes were filled with cold and murderous intent.

"Do not become complacent too early."

"If I do not die within a day, I will find a way to kill you, you two beast‑hearted scoundrels!"

"Roar!!"

At the very moment Tong Tian's words fell.

A tiger's roar rang through heaven and earth!

As the earth quaked and mountains shook, a massive beast as huge as a mountain, its body surrounded by blood‑fury, treading on bone‑eroding gale, the ferocious giant beast, suddenly descended from the sky.

It slammed heavily onto the ground, raising clouds of dust!

"A mindless beast."

Staring at the crawling, gradually approaching ferocious giant beast, Tong Tian's eyes showed no fear.

Boundless spiritual Qi instantly coalesced, heaven and earth's spacetime forged within it, giving rise to a Heaven and Earth Spirit Sword.

With his left hand he held the sword, pointing at the beast, and a cold glint suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Today I will use the body of a Great Luo to strike against the Mixed‑Primordial!"

"If I do not die in this battle, Yuan Shi, Tai Shang, you two will have nowhere to be buried!"

"Heaven and Earth Boundless·Sword Slashes All Living!"

With a loud, angry shout, his whole aura suddenly surged.

The endless power of heaven and earth continuously gathered into his body.

Thus Tong Tian, with Early Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivation, unleashed strength comparable to a Perfected Great Luo.

And to unleash such power,

one naturally must pay an extremely painful price.

His once jet‑black hair instantly turned gray.

His flesh, under the infusion of heaven and earth's power, became like cracked porcelain, riddled with countless fissures.

Yet even as his body emitted a wail of unbearable burden,

Tong Tian's sword‑holding arm did not tremble at all, and his eyes were full of hatred and murderous intent.

"Wretched beast, meet your death!"

A deep, fierce shout fell, and the Heaven and Earth Spirit Sword swung down.

Endless heaven‑earth power bestowed, boundless spiritual Qi infused.

The three‑foot green blade suddenly became a thousand‑zhang sword shadow.

Carrying brilliant celestial might, it slashed toward the ferocious beast White Tiger!

"Roar!!"

However, the sword of heaven and earth that Tong Tian, with half a life, forged through extreme ascension,

even though it had already brushed the threshold of a Mixed‑Primordial Golden Immortal,

the ferocious beast White Tiger, however, possesses the cultivation of a Perfected Mixed‑Primordial Golden Immortal.

Before the thousand‑zhang sword shadow could land, it was scattered by the tiger's roar.

Tong Tian himself was lifted hundreds of zhang by the residual sound wave, crashing heavily onto the sealing barrier set by Yuan Shi and Tai Shang together!
