Chapter 168: Projection of the Upper Realm's Taboo

"You humiliated me first, then hurt my master later; did you ever think this day would come?" Mengchen lifted Qitianyan by his collar and sneered.

Qitianyan cursed angrily: "I'll think of your mother, you little bastard. In the future, I will definitely make you die, make your master die, and make your entire Western Sect pay for what you've done today."

"Heh... why talk about the future? You will surely die today," Mengchen sneered.

Immediately, the arm holding his collar exerted force, tossing him high into the air. Then, Mengchen dove upward and stomped down, causing Qitianyan's bones to crack, stripping him of his combat ability, and sending him crashing heavily into the ground.

"Old thing... I'll send you on your way at last," Mengchen said coldly toward the spot where Qitianyan had crashed.

Afterward, he traversed the air and arrived before the young woman in golden-colored clothes from the Flower God Palace.

The woman was already terrified, and deep in her heart, she felt extreme hatred. The pair of breasts she had been so proud of were no longer there; all that remained was a blood-colored hole.

Within that blood-colored, transparent hole, Divine Fire flickered. It was fortunate that she had already become a god; if not for this Divine Fire, she would have already died and vanished.

However, what surprised the woman was that Mengchen did not immediately unleash a killing blow upon his arrival. Instead, he grinned at her, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth, and said: "Oh my! Your injury is so severe!?"

The young woman from the Flower God Palace was trembling now, because her entire chest had become almost transparent. That blood-colored hole was large, and golden blood was still flowing; she was clearly not human, but a sunflower that had attained sentience.

Hearing Mengchen's words made her so angry she coughed up blood, and she began to shriek in rage.

She was extremely furious, and even more afraid. This boy had injured her like this, yet he still insisted on displaying such a disgusting posture to mock her; this was even harder to bear than being killed.

At this moment, she was truly terrified; this wound on her chest was simply a nightmare.

But the next instant, her eyes filled with terror until all life vanished. Mengchen, before everyone's eyes, slew a god. The woman transformed into a sunflower; now, her radiance was gone, and she had become a withered flower.

Finally, Mengchen even held this withered flower and said indifferently to everyone: "I said to lend me your chrysanthemum, but you insisted on making it come to this. A perfectly good chrysanthemum has turned into a withered flower; what a pity, what a pity!"

After speaking, Mengchen casually discarded the withered flower in his hand.

"You... you actually dared to slay a god of my Flower God Palace! Do you know the foundation my Flower God Palace has in the Upper Realm? Even your Western Sect of the Upper Realm must show us respect." At this moment, a beautiful female Venerable of the Flower God Palace shouted sternly.

"Don't order me around, acting so high and mighty. Do you think you're something special?" Mengchen mocked her, then raised his hand and pointed at the Venerable from afar, saying: "Explode!"

As Mengchen's words fell, that young and beautiful Venerable instantly exploded into a mist of blood.

A single word caused a Venerable to perish instantly—what kind of great power was this! This scene made the atmosphere here even more fearful, and a thick sense of terror permeated among the experts of various sects.

Just then, Yuechan Zhushen, who had been stunned for a long time, spoke in a low voice: "Do you know that by doing this, even the great powers of your Western Sect in the Upper Realm cannot protect you?"

When Mengchen was teaching Qitianyan a lesson earlier, she hadn't dared to speak, but now she had spoken up for someone from another sect, which truly left Mengchen feeling confused.

"Heh, Yuechan, you must have forgotten what your situation is! You are currently a lamb waiting for me to slaughter, do you know that?" Mengchen teased playfully.

At this moment, facing Mengchen's words, Yuechan Zhushen did not show anger, but instead said with a face as calm as water: "Although I don't know why you are so strong right now, I do know that this power is definitely not yours. Also, don't forget, the Upper Realm is filled with experts, and there are existences you cannot afford to provoke."

After she finished speaking, Yuechan's Divine Power poured out. Between her eyes flowed terrifying Divine Radiance, her black hair fluttered, and her entire being released astonishing, glowing light.

The glowing light shot straight into the sky in an instant, as if tearing through the void, reaching the Nine Heavens.

Following a boom, the horizon was filled with blazing light, and one supreme symbol after another shone, brilliant and sacred.

An infinitely massive Dharma body was projected; it was a supreme existence with an incredibly terrifying aura. He opened his eyes, as if containing the ultimate Great Dao, and ten thousand stars were annihilated in an instant. The Dharma body's aura was astonishingly vast, sitting cross-legged in the void, as if surrounded by immortal energy, blazing and incomparable.

Immediately after, the old man from the Unaging Mountain with the Five Elements energy, the Sect Master of the Divine Fire Sect, and the body of that black lion also endured intense pain as divine light erupted from within them, reaching the Nine Heavens.

In an instant, it was as if gods were wailing and demons were roaring; the world seemed to be turning upside down, as if they had arrived in the legendary Primordial Era, where humans and gods lived together and all spirits vied for supremacy! The firmament cracked, accompanied by thunder, and several transcendent experts appeared. The mortals on the ground trembled in disbelief, looking up, then collapsed to the ground.

Those were legendary taboo figures; could it be that the Great Calamity had arrived early and they were descending?

All living beings were shocked, and then terrified!

"Boom!"

With a violent tremor, a great rift in the void spread, the firmament shattered, and scorching seven-colored Divine Fire erupted.

In the sky, Divine Fire surged, with various symbols floating within it, accompanied by great magical power.

The Divine Fire was torrential, carrying a scorching heat, as if it wanted to boil the earth.

"This is the legendary Seven-Colored Divine Flame!" an old man shouted.

It wasn't just mortals; even cultivators were shocked and filled with great fear. Was the Primordial myth repeating itself? The Seven-Colored Divine Flame was descending from the Nine Heavens to burn the Lower Realm to ashes! In an instant, the Divine Fire condensed into a terrifying and massive figure, sitting cross-legged in the void, its aura defying the heavens to the extreme.

Then, on the Nine Heavens, blood-colored lightning intertwined and danced above; this eerie and chilling scene made people tremble, as if it were the end of the world.

Under the fearful gaze of everyone, three more projections appeared in succession. Their auras were powerful and unfathomable; they were all taboo existences beyond imagination.

The five projections occupied five positions in the sky, corresponding to each other from afar, as if freezing this piece of heaven and earth.

Each of them emitted divine light, shrouding their respective Lower Realm disciples under their massive Dharma bodies. Under the blessing of great magical power, those few Divine Fire experts who had been critically injured by Mengchen earlier were restored to their peak state in an instant.

"Who is it! Let me see who dares to kill the people of my Lower Realm Daoist site." A tremendously magnificent voice rang out, as if it could shatter the Nine Heavens; it was issued by the figure condensed from Divine Fire.

Mengchen's body and mind trembled; this person's strength was astonishing. Just the act of speaking caused him to be like this; if they were to attack, that would be truly dire.

The next instant, Mengchen was pulled back by Huofeng Zhizun, gazing at the several figures that had appeared above.

"Rumble..."

In another instant, on the Western Sect's side, Jinchanzi utilized a secret technique, and a divine light shot up to the clouds.

In just a single moment, the Great Dao Divine Sound echoed, and chanting sounds came from above the Nine Heavens. A figure like a Golden Body descended, with ten thousand rays of rosy light, instantly wrapping around everyone from the Western Sect.

As the Golden Body descended, countless magnificent golden symbols spilled down from the void as he opened his eyes, accompanied by the spreading Great Dao Divine Sound. He spoke: "Fellow Daoists, you have descended upon my Lower Realm Daoist site; what do you intend to do?"

"The people of my Lower Realm Daoist site died today; can I not come to demand an explanation?" A Dharma body spoke; it was a peerless woman with world-shaking cultivation, born with grace and luxury, her beauty rare in the world.

She was the Palace Master of the Flower God Palace in the Upper Realm, her cultivation unfathomable, and she held an absolute status in the Upper Realm.
