Chapter 1438

Die!

In an instant, strange power surged wildly from within the Xuanji Holy Lord's body, like a storm sweeping across the void, the surrounding heavens grew ever darker and more silent, and a suppressive force poured forth endlessly.

Beneath her jade feet, the abyss grew ever deeper, almost evolving into a small world, inside which more and more phantoms appeared, emitting wails and howls like ghosts and wolves.

The Xuanji Holy Lord had already comprehended the art of borrowing power back in the Strange Palace Star Sea.

The Abyssal Grand Dao can draw upon the great momentum within the void, causing its power to surge violently.

Moreover, the Stellar Ancient Mine was originally territory occupied by the Gu Clan, where strange power flowed freely; now, as the Xuanji Holy Lord forcibly gathers momentum, the abyssal phenomenon grows ever more terrifying.

With a light stamp of her jade foot, that immense abyssal phenomenon directly swallowed the sword formations of several young sword cultivators.

They were greatly alarmed in their hearts.

They had never before encountered such a terrifying phenomenon when facing Gu Clan cultivators of the same rank!

"This is what a true abyssal phenomenon is!"

Not only is it an endless chasm, it is more like a ferocious self-contained space; wherever it reaches, Ling Han's sword way directly collapses and plummets into the boundless abyss.

"No! No……"

They continually retreated backward, but the abyssal phenomenon spread even faster, in an instant swallowing their bodies into it!

Several cries of anguish rang out.

Within the abyssal phenomenon, several sword cultivators had already been easily slain!

After slaying those few, the Xuanji Holy Lord continued her massacre toward the several hundred disciples of the Lingxiao Sword Sect below, constantly gathering heavenly momentum, and the abyssal phenomenon beneath her feet grew ever more terrifying.

She softly counted from her mouth.

"Ten!"

"Nine!"

"……"

With each breath, several Lingxiao Sword Sect disciples were sucked into the abyssal phenomenon and then instantly killed.

They felt utterly shocked, unable to comprehend why the Xuanji Holy Lord's abyssal killing intent was so heaven-defying.

Within that abyss, it seemed to conceal the birth and death of a great world, containing infinite terror!

They naturally did not know that the Xuanji Holy Lord had experienced the transformation of the World Tree, moreover gained insight into the evolution of a great world at the Dao Lord stage, and besides, Lu Xuan had transmitted to her a vast understanding of Gu Dao; now, borrowing the momentum of heaven and earth, her killing intent is sufficient to exterminate all living beings below the Dao Lord realm!

Numerous sword cultivators felt they were not facing an abyss, but an entire great world!

Although the Xuanji Holy Lord's cultivation is merely six-star Dao Xu realm, her Dao Resonance is comparable to that of a one-star Dao Lord.

"Three!"

"Two!"

Numerous young sword cultivators leapt into the air and fled in all directions, but those who were slow were directly swallowed by the abyssal phenomenon, their vitality instantly extinguished.

When the Xuanji Holy Lord counted to "one," not a single Lingxiao Sword Sect disciple remained in this place!

Over a hundred disciples were slain by her, and the rest fled!

Boom—boom—boom!

One by one, star-ore shot out from the fissures of the Stellar Ancient Mine, all falling into the Xuanji Holy Lord's hands.

Collecting the star-ore required no effort at all!

This place is indeed a feng shui treasure trove; otherwise, the Lingxiao Sword Sect disciples would not have occupied it!

The Xuanji Holy Lord sat cross-legged directly, cultivating while seizing the star-ore.

Upon seeing this scene, everyone was stunned.

For many years, many members of the Longevity Sect had never before seen someone as arrogant as the Xuanji Holy Lord.

Her moves were too ruthless, giving the Longevity Sect no face at all!

But on the Gu Clan side, Elder Heiyan and the others were delighted.

Their Abyssal lineage had always been suppressed!

Now they could finally vent their resentment!

Moreover, this monstrous abyssal phenomenon seemed different, having forged its own "Dao."

This made it all the more precious!

Suddenly.

Boom!

Several one-star Dao Lord cultivators of the Longevity Sect activated spatial Gu, tearing through the void to arrive, their faces brimming with killing intent, declaring, "You shall not be left alive!"

They had already rushed into the Xuanji Holy Lord's abyssal phenomenon.

Elder Heiyan shouted in great anger, "Impudent!"

But they wanted to stop it, yet it was already too late; crossing the void to get there was no longer possible.

After all, these few Gu Clan monsters were relying on spatial Gu to teleport!

In the shadows, Yang Xuan looked toward Lu Xuan and asked, "Master, should we intervene?"

Lu Xuan replied calmly, "No problem, a mere one-star Dao Lord; Bai Li can handle it."

Bai Li indeed possessed many Dao Lord–stage treasures, after all, all the remnants of the Strange Palace's foundation were given to her after its downfall.

Seeing the few Gu Clan members drawing ever closer to the Xuanji Holy Lord, her face showed no disturbance; she lightly raised her jade hand, and under the cover of the abyssal phenomenon, she threw out several one-star Dao Lord–stage Spiritual Weapons.

Boom—boom—boom!

They detonated directly!

In an instant, an immensely terrifying surge poured forth in all directions, vast strange power surged out, and combined with the power of the Spiritual Weapons' self-destruction, it almost destroyed heaven and earth.

"Madman! Madman!"

Several Gu Clan Dao Lords attempted to activate spatial Gu to flee, but it was already too late.

A strand of eerie power surged like the vast sea overturning; in an instant it enveloped several Gu Clan members inside. This was purely a suppressive force, violent and fierce—their bodies instantly exploded into hundreds of fragments, and many Gu creatures were flung away.

In the next instant, the eerie power invaded!

Their vitality swiftly faded!

In the span of a breath, both body and spirit were utterly destroyed!

In an instant, this corner of heaven and earth fell silent.

Everyone looked toward the Xuanji Holy Lord.

What a ruthless person!

Even Elder Heiyan's face twitched: "This girl's move is simply like thunder—she's a promising seedling!"

The other elders of the Gu Clan all split their mouths wide, revealing sinister, strange grins: "Very good, very good, very good!"

Those led by Luo Ming understood the intent to recruit: "This girl is not bad; we can take her under our command!"

And at this moment.

Several domineering auras from the Longevity Sect shot up into the sky, rushing to kill the Xuanji Holy Lord.

But Elder Heiyan and the others had long been prepared, and they immediately descended to her side.

Elder Heiyan's face bore a feral smile: "How come? You, a few high‑star Dao Jun realm cultivators, want to attack a Dao Xu realm cultivator? Just now, the Dao Jun realm's attack already violated our agreement. Now you still want to bully the small with the big?"

With a boom, the two sides confronted each other.

Elder Heiyan emanated a faint Dao Solid realm aura, his expression grim.

"Heiyan," a gray‑robed middle‑aged man from the Longevity Sect sneered, "Can you protect her? After entering the Stellar Void Ancient Mine, she will surely die!"

Elder Heiyan smirked: "Then let's wait and see. What? You Longevity Sect can't play anymore? Wanshou Pavilion, we already had an agreement—do you want to tear it up? Over these years, when you killed our younger generation, we didn't even bat an eyelid."

You should know that over these years, in battles of the same rank, their Abyssal lineage has been weaker than the Longevity Sect.

Whenever a conflict erupted, casualties were not minor.

Especially, many Dao Xu realm cultivators have died!

But they, the Abyssal lineage, living under others' roofs, chose to endure humiliation rather than anger.

But now, times have changed; after great difficulty, a Dao Xu realm monster has appeared—how could they tolerate the Longevity Sect strangling such a monster?

The Longevity Sect's gray‑robed middle‑aged man snorted coldly: "My Longevity Sect naturally doesn't care."

Soon, they retreated.

Elder Heiyan looked at the Xuanji Holy Lord and asked, "What is your name?"

The Xuanji Holy Lord said, "My name is Ming."

"Ming? A good name!" Elder Heiyan asked, "Where do you come from?"

The Xuanji Holy Lord presented the prepared explanation: basically, it was a force sealed in ancient times, now that the seal has opened, it has appeared.

Elder Heiyan wasn't interested in this; as long as it's the Gu Clan, as long as it's a monster, nothing else matters.

He gave a chuckle, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes: "Ming, in the coming days you will snipe the Longevity Sect's Dao Xu realm cultivators here. Don't worry, we will protect you."
