Chapter 639: Show Me Your Sincerity

Compared to the unsightly spectacle of the katana-wielder constantly failing their dragon-mounting strike, the greatsword-wielder's leaping slash was far less abstract.

The four Ren Yidao in the east, west, south, and north performed the same action, leaping simultaneously before pouncing toward the nearest Immortal God.

Leaping slash!

Leaping slash!

Leaping slash!

And one more damn leaping slash!

Boom!!!

Wrapped in the colorful Thunder Tribulation, he was like a traveler who had been away for many years suddenly encountering kin in a foreign land, pouncing forward like a starving tiger.

Kin!

The Immortal Gods: Get the hell away from me!

Don't you come over here!!!

Who the hell is your kin? Stay away from me!

Unfortunately, Ren Yidao did not have a system for eavesdropping on others' inner thoughts, so he did not know of the wailing in their hearts.

Of course, even if he had heard it, he would not have made any changes.

Come on!

Let's have a warm embrace!

Ren Yidao laughed loudly as he charged toward the nearest Immortal God.

As the Thunder Tribulation drew near, the disguise on the Immortal God was forcibly stripped away, revealing her true appearance; it was actually a woman of stunning beauty.

Her appearance was peerlessly beautiful, her eyes deep like the night sky, a head of long silver-white hair hanging to her waist, dressed in a blue gown adorned with tassels, and holding an ancient zither inlaid with gems, emitting an irresistible charm.

Yet this woman, who could be called a peerless fairy, was now filled with fear and resentment in her eyes, looking despairingly at Ren Yidao as he reached for her.

Finally, at the last moment, she stopped waiting for death and cried out pitifully: "Spare me! I know I was wrong! I am willing to swear an oath to serve you!!!"

Her voice matched her beautiful appearance, equally filled with extreme allure; even in this moment of wailing and roaring, she did not lose this charm, instead carrying a unique, sorrowful beauty.

This was the Dao of the Blue Fall Zither Demon, entering the Dao through sound waves, with every movement possessing the power of extreme allure.

In the past, even other Immortal Gods could not completely avoid this charm of hers and would be influenced by her.

But unfortunately, this ability, which had never failed, lost its effect in front of Ren Yidao.

Perhaps the roar of the Thunder Tribulation was too loud, or perhaps she shouldn't have used charm techniques on a fox spirit, or perhaps... his killing intent was simply too strong.

The female Immortal's pleas went in one ear and out the other, failing to cause any fluctuation in Ren Yidao's Dao Heart.

No, that's not entirely true.

Ren Yidao was amused.

"Pfft!"

With a scoff, Ren Yidao looked mockingly at the stiff-faced female Immortal.

Know fear now?

Too late.

What were you doing earlier?

You didn't retreat when the Li Family stepped forward, and you didn't retreat when the Immortal struck!

Once, twice, but there is no third or fourth time.

Even a clay figure has a bit of earthen temper.

Do I, Ren Yidao, look like someone easy to bully?

Isn't your killing intent toward me a bit too strong? Is it really worth being this persistent?

You want me to die here that badly?

Regretting it now?

A bit too late!

Perhaps seeing the mockery in Ren Yidao's eyes, the Blue Fall Zither Demon's hopeful heart died completely.

"You damn guy..."

Once she spoke, her aura was exposed, and she was detected by the Thunder Tribulation; she had been struggling to resist, hoping to successfully charm Ren Yidao and win a chance at survival.

But now...

Everything was over.

This guy in the experiential field not only didn't sympathize but was mocking her instead.

The expression on her face shifted rapidly, from the previous pitiful look instantly turning into undisguised resentment, as she gritted her teeth and said: "I curse you..."

Boom!!!

Ren Yidao did not give the Blue Fall Zither Demon a chance to finish her sentence; his palm, carrying the Thunder Tribulation, slapped directly onto her mouth, sending the second half of her sentence along with the beauty's head flying, while he chuckled and asked: "Huh?"

"What did you just say?"

"Why can't I! Hear! You!"

The Blue Fall Zither Demon did not reply.

And there would be no possibility of a reply in the future.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The world-destroying Thunder Tribulation, mixed with ten Daos, was not something she could withstand; the moment it made contact, the weak Immortal woman let out a wail without any power to resist, and within a few breaths, she turned into a handful of dust.

The Blue Fall Zither Demon was not a combat-capable Immortal God to begin with; her position in the Heavenly Court in the past was the head of the Heavenly Court musicians, playing music for the two supremes, the Heavenly Emperor and the Heavenly God.

If she had been at full strength, she might have had a chance to escape, but now... there was only death.

Ren Yidao raised his hand, grabbed the handful of human-shaped dust left behind by the Blue Fall Zither Demon, smacked his lips, and sighed: "Tsk, she doesn't even answer when someone asks a question; she really went offline unilaterally. How rude."

After finishing his monologue, he turned his head to look at another attacker not far away, smiling as he asked the trembling Demon God: "Don't you agree?"

"..."

The Demon God naturally did not reply, keeping a wary eye on Ren Yidao while searching everywhere for a way to escape.

But unfortunately, no matter how it searched, all vitality in this entire space had been directly sealed off by Ren Yidao; there was simply no path of survival to be seen.

Then, it heard Ren Yidao's "sorrowful" lament:

"Sigh, you won't answer either... Why is everyone targeting me so much? Are you not even willing to say a single word to me? Am I that annoying?"

"Hey! Hey hey hey! Could it be that someone like me doesn't deserve to be respected by everyone? Is this my fault, or is it the world's fault?"

Just as Ren Yidao finished his sorrow, the next second he switched to a stiff, translated tone and scolded:

"If you don't answer me again, I will kick your butt hard with my leather shoes!"

The sheep-headed, tiger-bodied Demon God listened to Ren Yidao's constantly changing style of speech and felt its scalp tingle; what exactly was wrong with this guy?

What was all this gibberish he was spouting?

With such a volatile spirit, so he was practicing the Demon path...

And just as it was pondering a plan to escape, Ren Yidao not far away revealed a strange smile and, without any warning, charged toward it!

"What are you thinking about?"

"Tell me quickly!"

And such scenes were not isolated cases; they were happening in all four directions of the Beiming Divine Continent. Relying on the coiled Thunder Tribulation, Ren Yidao single-handedly controlled over a dozen Immortal Gods, and in the first wave, he took away four pitiful victims.

All their wailing and begging for mercy, threats and angry scolding before death, and even the Causality that needed to be borne... did not affect Ren Yidao in the slightest.

His killing intent was like a Mirror, unstained by dust.

Things having reached this point, there is only killing!

Talk?

There is no possibility of talking; no one would believe the other's promises, and it would be nothing more than a fool's errand.

Furthermore, there is simply no need to talk.

Just kill, and that's it.

Anyway, I have no connection to the Ancient Heavenly Court, nor do I care what you have done in the past.

Whether you are a good person or a bad person, it is all the same.

Since you have decided to swing your blades at me, then there is nothing left to say.

If you want to fight, then let us fight.

You die, I live.

Kill!

The suicide-style ambush successfully took away nearly half of the enemies and indeed achieved great results, but this power was not omnipotent.

After sacrificing four offerings, the momentum of the Thunder Tribulation on Ren Yidao's body had significantly diminished, losing more than half of its power.

Although it could still pose a great threat to the Immortal Gods now, it lacked that initial feeling of certain death upon contact.

It could be resisted for a while!

The remaining Immortal Gods did not intend to sit and wait for death, especially after seeing the miserable state of the first batch of victims, which only strengthened their resolve to fight to the death.

Anyway, doing nothing is waiting for death, so why not give it a try? Perhaps they could fight for a future!

The counterattack of the Immortal Gods had begun!

Although outsiders could not perceive the difference between Ren Yidao's three clones and his main body, if there were those familiar with him, they would still be able to discover that these three clones each had some different feelings.

The Ren Yidao in the south looked more mature, his facial features slightly different, and he was always muttering words that did not exist in this world; this was his Past Self.

Located on the east and west sides were the Present Self and the main body, which looked no different from each other.

And above the sea in the north of the Beiming Divine Continent, this last clone, although his face was identical to the main body, had a sense of profundity in his eyes that the true body lacked—a kind of depth that had settled after the passage of time.

Future Self.

The most difficult of the three bodies of the Ten Thousand Generations Art to master; even at this moment, it was not completely perfected and still had some flaws, not yet considered completely perfect.

But the aura he emitted was the strongest of all the clones, even stronger than the main body by quite a bit!

The Future Self of Ren Yidao did not make a move or speak after eliminating the first poor wretch, just standing there in mid-air with his hands behind his back, quietly watching the remaining two Immortal Gods.

The other party's disguise seemed meaningless in his eyes; he easily saw through their true forms, his eyes filled with indifference, as if he were looking at two insignificant minions.

The unfathomable feeling radiating from his entire body made the Immortal Gods before him afraid to act rashly; in a trance, they even had the illusion that they were seeing His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor.

"..."

How could this be!!?

This is just a kid who has just stepped into the Ascension Realm; even if the Thunder Tribulation is a bit exaggerated, he shouldn't have this kind of feeling about him!

"We are actually not enemies." The Immortal who looked like a Daoist had a stiff expression; he hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "I can see that you are a member of the Daoist sect, and I have an affinity with the Daoist sect."

"This venerable one is Yun Yuan, honored by all as Daoist Lord, so I can still be considered your elder."

Daoist Lord Yun Yuan had a thin face and looked like a middle-aged man, his brows revealing a transcendent temperament. He wore a plain Daoist robe embroidered with complex Bagua patterns and held a horsetail whisk in his hand, appearing to have the demeanor of an Immortal.

This Immortal was different from the other outsiders; he was hidden in the Northern Sea and could be considered a native Immortal God of the Beiming Divine Continent. The Immortal mountain beneath his feet was the very Immortal trace that had been witnessed by others before, and one could see some buildings related to the Daoist sect on it.

"Is that so..."

Ren Yidao blinked upon hearing this, then smiled and nodded, saying softly: "I believe you."

Daoist Lord Yun Yuan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and hurriedly said: "Since that is the case, we..."

"However, empty words are no proof. How do I know you aren't faking it right now?" Ren Yidao interrupted him, asking calmly: "How can I be sure you won't take revenge on me later?"

"Once I think of such a situation, with a powerful Immortal God plotting against me in the dark, I get so scared."

"No! I wouldn't..." Daoist Lord Yun Yuan's expression was somewhat awkward as he waved his hands repeatedly to explain.

Had He truly yielded?

The answer, naturally, was clear at a glance.

A temporary submission was merely an expedient measure for the moment.

Ren Yidao saw through His little scheme, and without engaging in empty pleasantries, he ruthlessly exposed it.

"Don't bother with that messy nonsense; it's pointless."

"If you want me to believe you, then prove it to me."

Ren Yidao smiled and looked toward another Immortal God, a burly man whose entire body was wreathed in purple lightning.

He had a sturdy build with well-defined muscles, patterns of flickering electric currents faintly visible on his skin; he wore a tight-fitting purple battle armor, a lightning-shaped hair ornament on his head, and held a spear radiating lightning, currently looking at Ren Yidao with disdainful contempt as he let out an angry snort.

"Hmph!"

Ren Yidao laughed after hearing this snort filled with contempt, then turned his head to say to Daoist Lord Yun Yuan: "Kill him, and I will acknowledge that you are sincere."

Kill him!!?

Daoist Lord Yun Yuan's heart sank instantly, his expression becoming extremely ugly as he said in a deep voice: "... Are you playing me?"

That Ren Yidao could propose this condition meant that in his heart, he did not believe Him at all and had no sincerity for cooperation!

"Why would the Daoist Lord say such a thing?" Ren Yidao smiled and countered: "Since you and I have a fated connection, why is the Daoist Lord unwilling to take action for this junior? Or is it that the Daoist Lord has some concerns?"

"Or perhaps... it is actually the Daoist Lord who is playing me? The fated connection you spoke of is merely to deceive me?"

Hmph!

Before Daoist Lord Yun Yuan could open his mouth to answer, the Demon God who had been treated as a trophy on the side could no longer hold back and roared:

"The brat has quite the nerve!"

"This deity is Purple Lightning Thunder Venerable! I am the Demon God in charge of the Heavenly Court's lightning! You brat, don't think you can use this Thunder Tribulation to play god and act like a ghost! This deity is not afraid of you!"

Purple Lightning Thunder Venerable was not lying; he was indeed the one among all the Immortal Gods least worried about the Thunder Tribulation.

He himself was born from the Lightning Pool and had used the Dao of lightning as the source of his cultivation since birth.

While the Thunder Tribulation was a destruction that ordinary people avoided at all costs, he relied on accumulation, and returning to the Lightning Pool was like a fish in water for him!

"Relying on the Thunder Tribulation to show off? Oh! You mean this."

The Future Body of Ren Yidao smiled, then waved his hand in front of the shocked gazes of Daoist Lord Yun Yuan and the other, directly dispersing the Thunder Tribulation wreathed around his body!

"Now, I am not relying on the Thunder Tribulation to threaten you."

!!!

He, how could he dare!?

Daoist Lord Yun Yuan's eyes widened; he had not expected Ren Yidao to make such a move.

And how did he do it!!?

It was obvious that Ren Yidao had not completely passed the Thunder Tribulation, because the other three bodies were still wreathed in it.

Only the Future Body had actually jumped out of the scope of the Thunder Tribulation's punishment.

Ren Yidao looked at Daoist Lord Yun Yuan again, gazed into His eyes, and asked softly: "Daoist Lord, have you made your decision?"

"Is it to kill this Purple Lightning Thunder Venerable to show me your sincerity?"

"Or is it..."

"To cooperate with him and kill me, this junior with whom you have a fated connection?"

Ren Yidao smiled meaningfully and whispered with deep implication:

"Daoist Lord, there isn't much time left; make your decision soon..."
