Chapter 1709: I've endured you for a long time!

On the other side.

The land of Heavencloud Academy.

"Boom!"

"Crack!"

The academy's Righteous Vital Energy Divine Guard has begun to crumble.

Deep within the academy, numerous stone carvings of sage scholars emit a mysterious aura; ancient inscriptions constantly wind across the carvings, and vast amounts of Righteous Vital Energy surge forth from within the stone carvings.

To resist the alien strange power and the Gu Clan's Dao Resonance!

Across the academy's hundreds of thousands of li of land, the originally pure white Righteous Vital Energy is turning gray-black.

It has already been invaded by alien strange power!

The Dean raised his arms and shouted, "Battle!"

Numerous instructors and students shot up into the sky, their bodies suffused with sage scholars' aura, faint and elusive; although each clearly lacked the killing intent of guards, when this Righteous Vital Energy gathered, it surged like angry sea waves, stirring a furious torrent.

Even sage scholars have anger!

The Dean no longer hopes for Lu Xuan now.

Just then.

The void tore open once again.

Lu Xuan walked out in a white robe, followed closely by Qi Chun Jing and Yang Tianming.

"I have sent a great scholar to your Heavencloud Academy."

Lu Xuan looked at the Dean and spoke lightly.

Numerous instructors and students instantly looked at Qi Chun Jing, and they were stunned.

Just because.

Qi Chun Jing stood there quietly, his Righteous Vital Energy perfectly natural, as if he were a reincarnated sage scholar.

An indescribable feeling welled up in everyone's hearts.

This man in the dark robe seemed born for the Way of the sage scholars.

"This person is……"

The Dean, somewhat excited, asked, completely forgetting that they were in battle.

Lu Xuan said, "Mr. Qi."

Qi Chun Jing performed the sage scholars' salute, making people feel like they were basking in a spring breeze.

"Impudent!"

Seeing this, the attacking Gu Clan and Strange Clan members flew into a rage.

"Damn it! Do you think we don't exist?"

They were speechless.

Is that white‑robed man blind?

Can't you see we're in the midst of a great battle?

Lu Xuan lightly extended a finger, making a "hush" gesture.

"Shh!"

Everyone was stunned.

In the next instant, they could no longer suppress the anger in their hearts.

"Damn!"

"White‑robed one, I've tolerated you for a long time, you know?"

Several Strange Clan powerhouses charged straight at Lu Xuan.

Beneath their feet appeared numerous strange Dao phenomena.

"Boom!"

A huge abyss tore heaven and earth, as if existing in another space, immeasurably vast; countless strange phantoms like the abyss's fangs lunged to devour Lu Xuan.

On another side, a gigantic black tree shot up from the ground, its entire body dark black, its trunk covered in dense black eyes, horribly frightening; numerous thick branches like black fists lunged at Lu Xuan.

In another direction, a towering god‑demon phantom loomed, then came crashing down upon Lu Xuan with a mighty blow.

Several terrifying attacks descended upon Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan sighed lightly, "Can't we have some peace?"

He began forming seals in his hand.

"Boom—!" "Boom—!"

Countless Dao patterns flowed from his mouth, like a key inserted into heaven and earth.

Suddenly, the heaven and earth where Heavencloud Academy resides underwent a drastic change.

Vast amounts of Righteous Vital Energy surged forth from within Heavencloud Academy; every hall, pavilion, and library… numerous buildings emitted a holy Divine Light.

Over countless ages, the academy's sage scholars, instructors, and students who chanted and cultivated the Righteous Vital Energy were all seized away.

Every building underwent a transformation!

Even the stone carvings of sage scholars extending from the academy seemed almost to come alive, like sages overlooking heaven and earth, exuding a mighty, overwhelming pressure.

Seeing this, everyone was stunned.

The people of Heavencloud Academy stood dumbfounded like wooden chickens.

No.

Why can this white‑robed man activate their formation patterns?

The Dean found it hard to believe.

He couldn't even master the academy's heaven-and-earth power to this extent!

Could it be that this white-robed man understands Heaven Cloud Academy even better than he does?

Next instant.

Heaven Cloud Academy's Grand Righteous Qi condensed into a colossal handprint, immeasurably vast, immeasurably pure, so that every ridge of the palm could be seen.

This palm directly blasted toward several Strange Clan men.

"Boom!"

With just the force of a single strike, it directly shattered several illusory phenomena of the Strange Dao above the Void.

The huge abyss broke into several segments; all its strange power within was refined by the Grand Righteous Qi, and the gigantic black strange tree was uprooted, beginning to wither; the illusory form of the heaven-toppling god-demon collapsed backward with a boom.

"Ahhh—"

Several miserable cries rang out.

The few high-star Dao Transformation realm experts who had just acted instantly had their bodies explode.

They were directly annihilated!

In an instant, heaven and earth became deathly silent.

Even a falling needle could be heard!

No one expected this white-robed man to be so powerful!

In this realm of heaven and earth, who could still stop him?

The dean stared in shock at Wuwo.

It turns out his master truly is invincible!

Shock!

Profound shock!

At that moment, the Heaven Cloud Academy's "momentum" kept spreading outward, directly enveloping the entire battlefield.

"Damn it! What kind of power is this?"

"My Dao Resonance is being suppressed!"

"How could this white-robed man possibly summon the power of heaven and earth!"

Numerous Strange Clan and Gu Clan members wore looks of utter disbelief.

Just then.

A thread of temporal power imperceptible to ordinary people suddenly surged forth from the Void.

Several Longevity Clan members hidden in the shadows launched a sneak attack!

Their temporal power was concealed within the Divine Light of the Grand Righteous Qi, showing only the faintest ripple, essentially undetectable.

"Die!"

Several Longevity Clan members, with huge heads and facial features twisted together, looked extremely hideous.

The temporal power sought to directly slay Lu Xuan!

But Lu Xuan had long detected the presence of the Longevity Clan.

He gave a cold snort, flicked his sleeve, and the authority of heaven and earth erupted with heaven-toppling power.

At that moment, Lu Xuan seemed to become a Little Heavenly Dao.

"Hiss!"

A river of divine radiance surged up, instantly submerging those temporal Dao Resonances, drawing them into reincarnation to be refined, yet this force did not fade, pressing straight toward the hidden Strange Clan.

"Boom boom boom!"

Several silhouettes of the Longevity Clan extended from the Void and fell down.

They wore looks of utter disbelief.

"How could this be?"

"Our silhouettes were hidden in the fractured River of Time; how could they detect our existence?"

Numerous Strange Clan and Gu Clan members were stunned.

This white-robed man can actually detect the hidden Longevity Clan!

This is their absolute killing move!

And it was broken just like that!

Suddenly, the murderous intent of heaven and earth abruptly locked onto several Longevity Clan members, piercing into their bodies like lightning.

Vast amounts of temporal power burst from their bodies, like a surging sea.

All this power was completely absorbed by Lu Xuan's Book of Time!

In the end, only a few plump worms remained, wriggling.

Lu Xuan's thought stirred.

Those few worms also exploded!

They died so thoroughly they could not die any more!

Lu Xuan clapped his hands, "Alright, now it's your turn."
