Chapter 803: Trapping and Killing the Supreme, Subduing Xuanwu

Venerable Xuanwu stood up, his aura like a mountain.

"Good! We shall depart at once!"

"The Origin of Hun Dun—this Venerable is determined to obtain it!"

He took two Elders and Murong Tian, and departed the Taixuan Divine Dynasty aboard a divine vessel.

Their target was precisely that secret realm of the Murong clan—Heaven Beyond Heaven.

Three months later, inside Lingxiao Hall.

Lin Xuan was reviewing memorials, handling the imperial affairs of the empire.

Suddenly, the Void communication talisman in his robes vibrated slightly.

He probed it with his divine sense, and Murong Tian's voice came through.

"Master, Venerable Xuanwu has already set out."

"He has brought three confidants: Venerable Azure Dragon, Venerable White Tiger, and Venerable Vermillion Bird."

"All four are in the Supreme realm; they are expected to arrive at Heaven Beyond Heaven in three days."

Lin Xuan set down the memorial, a cold sneer curling the corner of his mouth.

"They come at a good time."

He stood up and stood with his hands behind his back.

After three months of waiting, the time to close the net had finally arrived.

"Summon Sima Xue and the others to see me."

A moment later, the nine great Empresses gathered in Lingxiao Hall.

Since breaking through to the Supreme realm, their temperaments had become even more transcendent and refined.

Each one radiated a powerful yet restrained pressure.

"Your Majesty has summoned us; is there something you wish to command?"

Sima Xue asked respectfully.

Lin Xuan nodded: "The prey is about to enter the net."

"Venerable Xuanwu is leading three powerhouses at the late stage of the Supreme realm; they will arrive at Heaven Beyond Heaven in three days."

"The nine of you shall join forces to preside over the Lun Hui Heaven-Trapping Array and capture them."

The nine great Empresses were startled at once.

Zhao Ling'er could not help but ask: "Will Your Majesty not take action personally?"

"There is no need."

Lin Xuan waved his hand.

"A mere four Supremes are not worth My personal intervention."

"Moreover, this battle is also a test of your coordination."

"In the future, when we campaign in the Upper Planes, you must be able to stand on your own."

Ao Bizhu said worriedly: "But that Venerable Xuanwu is at the peak of the Supreme realm..."

"Rest assured."

Lin Xuan said confidently.

"The Lun Hui Heaven-Trapping Array is a top-tier Array from the inheritance of the Lun Hui Emperor."

"Below the level of a Sovereign, no one can break it."

"You only need to activate the Array according to the incantations I have taught you."

He took out nine Jade Slips and handed them to the nine great Empresses respectively.

"The methods for operating the Array are recorded within; you must comprehend them quickly."

"Three days from now, I will wait for you at Heaven Beyond Heaven."

The nine great Empresses took the Jade Slips and respectfully withdrew.

They immediately returned to their respective palaces and began to study the path of the Array.

Lin Xuan, meanwhile, went alone to the secret chamber in the back mountain.

During these three months, he had not been idle.

In addition to setting up the Lun Hui Heaven-Trapping Array, he had made many other preparations.

He took out the star map obtained from the inheritance of the Lun Hui Emperor and studied it carefully.

Although the Taixuan Divine Dynasty was powerful, it was not an impenetrable monolith.

The twelve Supreme Elders each had their own factions, and their infighting had never ceased.

Venerable Xuanwu was merely the first chess piece.

In the future, more people would fall into his traps.

"Gods of the Upper Planes..."

A cold light flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes.

"Your doomsday is not far off."

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

At the entrance to Heaven Beyond Heaven, the spatial rift still hung silently.

But around the rift, a terrifying Array had already been fully deployed.

Hundreds of Array flags were distributed throughout the Void, each one containing the laws of Lun Hui.

The flags were connected by the power of Lun Hui, forming an inescapable net.

The nine great Empresses occupied nine different positions, their auras linked together.

They wore uniform battle armor, held Dharma Artifacts, and looked heroic and spirited.

Lin Xuan, meanwhile, hid in the deeper Void, his divine sense shrouding the entire Heaven Beyond Heaven.

He did not intend to show himself; he wanted the nine Great Empresses to complete this mission independently.

Only by truly experiencing life-and-death combat can one grow rapidly.

"They're here."

Lin Xuan's gaze tightened.

The Void suddenly fluctuated, and a divine boat broke through the air and arrived.

The divine boat was a thousand feet long, its entire body radiating dense fluctuations of divine power.

Standing at the bow were four figures; it was precisely Venerable Xuanwu and his party.

Venerable Xuanwu had a burly physique, his body wreathed in heavy earth-attribute laws.

Venerable Qinglong wore green robes, radiating a sharp wood-attribute aura.

Venerable Baihu was murderous, his metal-attribute laws condensed into substance.

Venerable Zhuque was wreathed in flames, the scorching temperature distorting the space.

The four supreme powerhouses arrived together, their might shaking the heavens and the earth.

"Is it here?"

Venerable Xuanwu looked at the spatial rift, a look of greed appearing in his eyes.

Murong Tian said respectfully: "It is exactly this place."

"This subordinate originally sensed the aura of the Hun Dun origin here."

Venerable Xuanwu took a deep breath and indeed felt unusual fluctuations.

The Spirit Qi of heaven and earth here was extremely dense, far exceeding any holy land in the upper planes.

"A good place!"

He laughed loudly.

"If I can cultivate here, breaking through to Sovereign is just around the corner!"

Venerable Qinglong was also incredibly excited: "Great Elder, let us go in and take a look quickly."

"Do not be impatient."

Venerable Xuanwu said cautiously.

"The origin of this place is unknown; we must scout it out first."

He channeled his divine sense, probing toward the interior of the spatial rift.

But the Lun Hui Trapping Heaven Array was extremely profound and completely blocked out external probing.

Venerable Xuanwu discovered nothing, and instead felt even more at ease.

"It seems there is no danger; let us go in."

The four put away the divine boat and stepped into the spatial rift.

As soon as they entered the Heaven Beyond Heaven, they were shocked by the scene before them.

Countless palace ruins floated in the Void, each one radiating an ancient aura.

The Spirit Qi of heaven and earth was so dense it was nearly liquefied, forming patches of mist seas in the air.

"This is actually an ancient ruin!"

Venerable Baihu said in shock.

"No wonder there is Hun Dun origin here!"

Venerable Zhuque was even more excited: "These palaces must contain countless Golden Treasures!"

A bright light flickered in Venerable Xuanwu's eyes.

If he could claim this place for himself, his strength would inevitably skyrocket.

By then, let alone Taixuan Heavenly Venerable, even other main gods would have to fear him by three points.

"Let's go, we will explore deeper."

Under the guidance of Murong Tian, the four headed toward the depths of the Heaven Beyond Heaven.

Murong Tian was terrified in his heart, but remained calm on the surface.

Following Lin Xuan's instructions, he led the four toward the Core area of the Array.

Half an hour later, they arrived in front of a relatively intact palace.

A crystal the size of a fist floated at the entrance of the palace.

The crystal radiated seven-colored light and contained terrifying energy fluctuations.

"A fragment of the Hun Dun origin!"

Venerable Xuanwu was overjoyed.

This was the Golden Treasure he had dreamed of!

Although it was only a fragment, it was enough for him to break through to the Sovereign realm.

"Hahaha! My opportunity has arrived!"

He couldn't wait and reached out to grab the crystal.

The moment he touched the crystal, a sudden change occurred!

Boom—!

The entire Heaven Beyond Heaven began to shake violently.

Countless array flags emerged from the Void, erupting with brilliant light.

The phantom image of the Six Paths of Lun Hui slowly unfolded, shrouding the entire space.

The Heavenly Dao, the Human Path, the Asura Path, the Animal Path, the Hungry Ghost Path, and the Hell Path.

The Six Paths of Lun Hui opened simultaneously, the terrifying pressure causing even space itself to tremble.

"Not good! It's a trap!"

Venerable Xuanwu's expression changed drastically, and he tried to retreat.

But it was already too late.

Countless black chains reached out from the Void, entangling the four Supremes.

These chains were condensed from the pure laws of Lun Hui and were indestructible.

"Break for this Venerable!"

Venerable Xuanwu roared, and the earth-attribute laws around his body erupted.

The heavy Earth Power condensed into a shield, attempting to block the chains.
