Chapter 449: Luo Beihuang's Aura

"Hahaha! That's good!" Ao Tianyin roared with laughter, his laugh booming, "This time was truly exhilarating! Ye Junlin's scoundrel was executed, Xue Jianchen beheaded, Shi Litian, Ming Jiuhuang, and Gui Qianmo fled in disgrace, and Other Shore this time took a real heavy loss, bone‑breaking! Let's see if they still dare to be arrogant!"

Geshu Wenyue is steadier in temperament, but his eyes also flash with brilliance: "After this battle, the young elite forces of Other Shore have been severely depleted, and it will take at least a hundred years to recover. However…" He shifts tone, his voice low, "Given the temperament of those lunatics on Other Shore, suffering such a loss, they will not settle peacefully. The Border Wasteland… may no longer be tranquil."

At this moment, Jian Wushuang, whose injuries had partly healed, walked together with Tun Qiangu of the Final Demon Bull Clan. They first bowed to Ye Wuque, Feng Caichen and the others, then proceeded straight to Ning Wushuang.

Jian Wushuang's complexion remained pale, but his gaze was full of gratitude. He bowed deeply to Ning Wushuang: "If it weren't for you, comrade Ning, stepping in righteously, I might have met a treacherous end. I can never repay the debt of your lifesaving."

Tun Qiangu also clasped his fists and said in a resonant voice, "Brother Ning, your righteousness is lofty; I admire you! This matter, the Final Demon Bull Clan has recorded!"

Ning Wushuang's expression stayed calm, still bearing that detached aura, he waved his hand casually and said lightly, "You two are overpraising. Other Shore is rampant, and behind it seems to involve the Ancient Black Calamity; everyone should slay it. I merely did what needed to be done, no need to dwell on it."

Tun Qiangu, hearing this, his bull‑like eyes ringing like a bronze bell, flashed with solemnity and said gravely, "Brother Ning is absolutely right. The ambition of Other Shore has never been limited to the Nine Heavens Ten Earths. Behind them stands an even more terrifying Inauspicious Clan… According to some of the oldest fragmented records of my clan, it is highly possible that they are linked to the Black Calamity that once unleashed boundless slaughter and caused a civilizational rupture in past epochs, possibly one of the ultimate masterminds…"

Mentioning the Inauspicious Clan and the Black Calamity, the expressions of those present grew a few shades more solemn.

That touches upon the deepest secrets and most terrifying taboos of the Zhutian Wanjie.

Ning Wushuang gave a slight nod, said no more, his gaze sweeping over Ye Wuque, Feng Caichen, Geshu Wenyue, Ao Tianyin and the others, lingering briefly on Ye Wuque and Feng Caichen, nodding in greeting, as a brief acknowledgment.

Then he spoke, "With this matter settled, the Chaos Sea's opportunity will arise, and I, Ning, must depart. Fellow cultivators, the mountains are high and waters long; if fate permits, we shall meet again, and then share wine and merriment."

As his words faded, he lingered no longer; his hemp robe flickered, and he merged into the breeze, vanishing silently from the spot, leaving no trace.

"Comrade Ning, take care!" Jian Wushuang and Tun Qiangu bowed again toward Ning Wushuang's departing direction.

Afterwards, they turned to Ye Wuque and the others, also clasping fists: "Brother Ye, Brother Feng, Brother Geshu, Brother Ao, we will go ahead; see you again at the Chaos Sea!"

"Take care," Ye Wuque and the others replied.

Jian Wushuang and Tun Qiangu did not linger, turning into two streaks of light, dashing toward a direction different from Ning Wushuang's, and soon vanished into the horizon.

At the summit of Tongtian Peak, gradually only Ye Wuque, Feng Caichen, Geshu Wenyue, Ao Tianyin and a few others remained, along with some Nine Heavens Living Being still clearing the battlefield and aiding comrades.

Ye Wuque gazed toward the distant void, where a faint strange ripple emanated, as if Chaos energy was churning, and the sound of the Tiandao resonated.

That was a sign that the Chaos Sea was about to open, one of the greatest opportunities on the Ultimate Main Road.

Just as he was about to speak, to discuss with Feng Caichen and the others the journey to the Chaos Sea, his heart suddenly leapt!

The Causality Perception within his body, already merged with the Time‑Space Great Dao Domain, caught an extremely faint ripple that, though subtle, etched itself into his bones and instantly triggered a massive murderous intent!

It was the Xiangsi Imperial Art's causality‑tracking thread on Luo Beihuang!

"Hm?"

Ye Wuque snapped his head around, his eyes flashing like lightning toward the source of the ripple—the very direction where the Chaos Sea's turbulence was strongest!

His complexion suddenly turned ice‑cold, a chilling, bone‑piercing murderous intent spreading uncontrollably!

"Lao Feng!" Ye Wuque's voice carried a suppressed excitement and bone‑deep chill, "I sense… Luo Beihuang's aura! In that direction!"

Feng Caichen, who had been standing calmly at his side, instantly had his sword‑clear eyes freeze the moment he heard the name Luo Beihuang!

The sword intent that had been restrained within him surged like an awakened deep sea, silently becoming sharp and fierce!

A trace of long‑settled yet never‑forgotten cold murderous intent flashed briefly deep within his eyes.

Luo Beihuang!

This relentless, immortal hatred they share with them, who has brought them countless hardships and crises, is likewise a prodigiously talented, fate‑defying mortal enemy!

And yet… also on this Ultimate Main Road?

Moreover, right in the direction where the Chaos Sea opens?

Geshu Wenyue, hearing this, raised an eyebrow and said, "Luo Beihuang? Who is that guy? How could he cause Brother Ye and Brother Feng to simultaneously show such murderous intent? The direction Brother Ye points to is undoubtedly the direction from which the Chaos Sea's turbulence comes!"

Ao Tianyin glared, his dragon eyes flashing, "Whoever it is, the enemy of Brother Ye and Brother Feng is also my enemy! Perfect, we just need to slay him!"

Ye Wuque and Feng Caichen exchanged a glance, each seeing resolve in the other's eyes.

Luo Beihuang's appearance concerns them even more than the opportunity of the Chaos Sea!

This beast should have been eliminated long ago!

"Move!"

Ye Wuque acted decisively, without any hesitation.

He took a step forward, lotus blossoms sprouting from the void beneath his feet, turning into a golden arch, and raced first toward the direction of Luo Beihuang's aura—also the direction of the Chaos Sea—blasting through the air at breakneck speed!

Feng Caichen said nothing, his body becoming sword light, following closely behind; the pure, fierce sword light seemed capable of cutting through any barrier.

Geshu Wenyue and Ao Tianyin each let out a long howl, wielding their divine powers, turning into blade light and dragon shadows, tightly keeping pace.

Four brilliant streaks of light sliced the slightly dim sky of the Ultimate Main Road, bearing lingering smoke and boiling battle fervor, racing toward that mysterious sea where Chaos churns, opportunity and arch‑enemy coexist!
