Chapter 1688

"Rest assured, humanity will surely win!"

The crown prince's memories continuously poured into Yang Tianming's Sea of Divine Sense, letting him understand that in the endless ages, the Scarlet Firmament Divine Kingdom had battled numerous powerful foes.

Endless ages of battle!

This realm had completely turned into a life-and-death dueling arena.

Never die, never rest!

Life and death endlessly cycled; only after one side emerged victorious would the power of reincarnation fade.

But the enemy was ultimately too strong; the vast territory of the Scarlet Firmament Divine Kingdom had been eroded, leaving only half of its lands.

The crown prince's obsession runs deep.

Gradually, it fell silent.

At that moment, more than a dozen Strange Clan members stared fixedly at Lu Xuan, then suddenly shouted, "Attack! No matter who blocks us, the crown prince must die!"

The leader of the Strange Clan suddenly unleashed his Dharma Aspect form, his body exuding an extremely rich strange aura that continually devoured the surrounding space.

A terrifying abyss appeared beneath his feet.

His huge hand suddenly opened, and an incredibly thick chain manifested, sweeping across the sky to lash directly at Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan wore a calm, breezy expression; he merely raised his hand lightly and gave a gentle pat.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

That huge chain began to break segment by segment, collapsing into powder.

"How is that possible?"

Several Strange Clan members wore looks of shock.

Lu Xuan flicked his sleeve, and blazing divine radiance surged forth like a rushing river.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

Several Strange Clan members could not block it at all.

Their massive bodies began to continually crack and collapse, crashing to the ground, and the strange Dao Resonance on them was directly refined.

A few remaining Strange Clan members turned to flee, saying, "The assassination of the crown prince failed; we must deliver this news to…"

Before they could finish, Lu Xuan's huge hand came slamming down.

Several Strange Clan members could not break free; the terrifying sealing force pressed down on them like a hundred thousand great mountains.

"Who… who exactly are you?"

Their faces showed terror.

Lu Xuan said nothing, directly probing the souls of those Strange Clan members.

After a moment.

He opened his eyes, and his huge hand suddenly exerted force.

The last few Strange Clan members' bodies exploded into black blood mist.

Directly annihilated!

"Master, what's going on?" Yang Tianming asked.

Lu Xuan spoke slowly, "In this realm of the Scarlet Firmament Divine Kingdom, the heavenly Dao is flawed yet still able to operate. The Origin of Destiny then fills the power needed for its operation."

"Before, in the Chaotic Star Sea, beneath the Dao Fruit Realm, all living beings dragged in became reincarnating beings of the Scarlet Firmament Divine Kingdom's realm."

Upon hearing this, Yang Tianming asked, "Will they also awaken?"

Lu Xuan said, "Their memories are now suppressed by the power of reincarnation, but perhaps they can awaken amid life and death. Or, as time passes and the reincarnation force wanes, they may recall their identities."

Yang Tianming nodded, "I see. Oh, by the way, where are Senior Sister and Senior Brother now?"

Lu Xuan had already checked via the system interface.

Qingqiu, Wuwo, and the others had all been scattered to different places within the Scarlet Firmament Divine Kingdom.

Lu Xuan said, "They're temporarily unharmed."

Yang Tianming breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Master, why did they attack me?"

Lu Xuan lightly touched Yang Tianming's brow, transmitting the memories of the Strange Clan to him.

Yang Tianming investigated a bit and came to a sudden realization.

It turned out that today, the Strange Clan and the Gu Clan's attack was not only aimed at him, but also at the crown prince.

The enemy targeted many princes of the imperial capital, including some strong experts!

They sought to exterminate them!

This matter actually relates to the emergence of the Origin of Destiny.

At this juncture, neither the Scarlet Firmament Emperor nor the Strange Clan nor the Gu Clan knows of the Origin of Destiny's existence.

They only know that heaven and earth suddenly manifested an omen.

A terrifying power has descended upon this world!

Such power can be drawn upon by the Scarlet Firmament Divine Kingdom, the Strange Clan, the Gu Clan, the Longevity Clan, and the Demon Clan alike.

To Lu Xuan and his companions, this is easily understood, for it is the primordial power of the Butterfly Moon, the eternal original Dao Resonance.

But to the beings of the Scarlet Firmament Divine Kingdom, it is inconceivable.

The Scarlet Firmament Emperor used this power to fortify the dynasty, hoping to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop.

The Strange Clan and the Gu Clan thought likewise.

In the endless struggle over life-and-death reincarnation, they have already obtained some secret arts: to kill these important figures and initiate the next cycle of reincarnation.

They did exactly that.

This caused the Scarlet Firmament Divine Kingdom to grow ever weaker, with the enemy even infiltrating the imperial city.

Outside the borderlands, strong as an invasion, it constantly devours the power of heaven and earth, yet Chi Xiao Great Emperor is powerless.

Just because.

He must guard the Imperial City.

This place holds the core of the Reincarnation Field.

He is constrained within the Imperial City.

"I didn't expect the Chi Xiao Dynasty's situation to be so passive." Yang Tianming sighed.

However, the master has arrived, they all have arrived.

The crisis can be resolved.

Lu Xuan said, "First return to the Prince's Mansion."

The two walked toward the Prince's Mansion.

The Prince's Mansion lies to the east of the Imperial City, occupying a vast territory; its outer vermilion palace walls resemble a dormant fire dragon, engraved with mysterious patterns.

The mansion gate is extremely tall, carved with dragons and phoenixes, inlaid with numerous ancient treasures; the spacious plaza inside the Prince's Mansion comes into view, while on both sides stand many pavilions and palaces, these buildings are grand and magnificent, bearing an unfathomable layout.

"The Prince has returned!"

"The Prince has returned!"

A servant shouted.

Soon, a group of servants ran toward Yang Tianming with small steps.

Yang Tianming was about to speak.

The leading servant's face suddenly turned ferocious and twisted: "You didn't die out there? Then die now!"

Boom boom boom!

This pair of servants directly surrounded Yang Tianming.

Lu Xuan's mouth corner slightly rose: "Interesting, interesting."

He opened his Insightful Eye, probing the surroundings.

These servants are all Gu Clan members, and within the pavilions there are also Guile Clan and Gu Clan disguised lackeys, maidservants, secretly staring fixedly at Yang Tianming like hawks eyeing prey, their gazes filled with killing intent.

"Somewhat interesting."

A gray-robed servant lunged at Yang Tianming's face, he directly threw a punch.

"One punch will blast your head!"

Boom!

This punch directly exploded the gray-robed man's head, numerous Gu worms burst, transforming into brilliant divine radiance.

Instantly killed.

Yang Tianming suddenly moved, his footwork extremely strange, arriving before another Gu Clan member.

A punch was thrown.

Pfft!

Directly blasted through the man's chest!

A huge blood hole appeared.

Golden divine radiance burst forth!

Within his body, numerous Gu worms also shattered one after another.

Instantly killed again!

Yang Tianming's face showed fighting spirit, like a slaughter god continuously cutting down.

One Gu worm after another fell.

Boom boom boom!

Within a dozen breaths, all the approaching servants were slaughtered, their corpses lying on the ground.

Yang Tianming snorted, "Damn it, are there still our own people inside the Prince's Mansion?"
