Chapter 639 I have no heart to distinguish right from wrong.
……
Millions of miles away from this abyss.
Here stands a majestic mountain peak that soars into the clouds.
At this moment, at the summit of this mountain stood three cultivators whose auras were as deep and boundless as the ocean.
These three were all powerful individuals who had reached the Saint realm!
These three were inner sect elders from the three great holy lands of the Eastern Continent.
Lei Yu Saint of Zixiao Holy Land, Xue Fu Saint of Tianyao Holy Land, and Cang Jian Saint of Tianjian Holy Land.
At this moment, these three saintly powerhouses, who were usually high above and revered by thousands, were gazing at the sky millions of miles away in the direction of the Tai Xuan Holy Land. Their faces were filled with undisguised shock and bewilderment.
"Gurgle..."
Lei Yusheng swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly.
"Fellow Daoists, did you...did you see that just now?"
"That energy fluctuation, that destructive divine light... it was definitely the self-destruction of an Emperor-level formation."
The Blood Bat Saint's eerie face was filled with horror as he spoke in a hoarse voice.
"The Tai Xuan Holy Land... it's really gone just like that? Even its entire million-mile territory has been completely wiped out?"
"What on earth is going on?! Who on earth has driven the Tai Xuan Holy Land to the point of mutual destruction?!"
The Sword Saint frowned, and the sword energy around him appeared somewhat disordered due to the intense fluctuations in his heart.
"This is too strange, this is really too strange."
"The Tai Xuan Holy Land has a profound foundation. Even without the Supreme Emperor Weapon actively reviving, the mountain-protecting formation and the presence of the Holy King's Holy Lord alone would not have allowed it to be forced into a desperate situation in such a short time."
"Could it be... that some immortal dynasty from Central Continent crossed over and secretly took action?"
The three of them watched for a long time, and the more they discussed it, the stranger the situation seemed, and a strong sense of unease welled up in their hearts.
They had no idea why the Tai Xuan Holy Land was destroyed, nor did they know how many secrets were buried at the center of that terrifying explosion.
But at that very moment...
Om-!
The void above their heads suddenly began to fluctuate violently without warning.
The three saints from the three holy lands simultaneously felt a sudden jolt in their hearts, an unprecedented sense of life-or-death crisis instantly enveloping their entire bodies.
They looked up in terror, only to see, as if by magic, a withered old man dressed in an ancient blue robe, his body shrouded in deathly aura, appear out of thin air before the three of them in the rippled void.
The old man hovered silently in mid-air, his lifeless, cloudy eyes coldly watching them.
Above the old man's head, the ancient bronze cauldron, shrouded in chaotic azure energy, emanated an extreme pressure that made even the most sages tremble in their souls.
"This...this is..."
Upon seeing the newcomer, the faces of the people from the three holy lands turned deathly pale, and their legs trembled uncontrollably.
As powerful beings at the Saint Realm, they had long stood at the top of the pyramid of cultivators, yet now, facing this old man in blue, they couldn't even see through a trace of his abilities!
In their perception, the old man was like a bottomless black hole; the vast difference in their levels made it impossible for them to even entertain the thought of resistance.
Especially for Saint Lei Yu, when his gaze fell upon the large blue cauldron above the old man's head, his pupils instantly shrank to the size of pinpoints, and a chill ran straight to his head.
He recognized him!
That is the ultimate imperial weapon of the Tai Xuan Holy Land—the Tai Xuan Cauldron!
Who else could be able to wield an ultimate imperial weapon at will and possess such terrifying cultivation, besides that ancestor of the Tai Xuan Holy Land?!
That's a quasi-emperor!
A living, breathing peak Quasi-Emperor level expert!
The immense fear instantly froze the atmosphere at the scene.
Gurgle.
Saint Lei Yu swallowed again, suppressing the urge to kneel and kowtow. He forced out a stiff smile that looked worse than crying and spoke in a trembling voice.
"Senior...I wonder what brings you here?"
The old ancestor in green robes hovered quietly in mid-air. His eyes, devoid of any emotion, swept over Lei Yu Saint, then looked at the other two, and said in a hoarse voice.
"The auras of your cultivation techniques are all different. It seems you are cultivators from those three holy lands."
When his identity was revealed to him by a quasi-emperor, the Saint Lei Yu was so frightened that he shuddered. He dared not hide anything and hurriedly introduced himself in a humble and respectful manner.
"Yes! Yes! Senior, you are wise! We... are indeed from the three holy lands."
"This junior is Lei Yu, an inner sect elder of the Purple Cloud Holy Land. This is Elder Blood Bat of the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, and this is Elder Hidden Sword of the Heavenly Sword Holy Land."
At this point, Saint Lei Yu seemed afraid that the terrifying Tai Xuan Ancestor might misunderstand, so he quickly knelt down in the void and desperately explained with tears streaming down his face.
"Senior! We came here solely to investigate why the Tai Xuan Holy Land was suddenly destroyed!"
"The destruction of the Tai Xuan Holy Land truly has nothing to do with our three great holy lands!"
"We hadn't even left the mountain gates when the Tai Xuan Holy Land... it exploded! Senior, please investigate! This was definitely not our doing!"
As Lei Yu the Sage spoke, he kowtowed frantically.
Faced with a quasi-emperor who has gone berserk due to the destruction of the holy land, any sophistry or resistance is futile. Only by severing ties can there be a glimmer of hope.
The Blood Bat Saint and the Hidden Sword Saint were also terrified and knelt in mid-air, echoing each other and swearing that the matter had nothing to do with them.
The old man in blue listened quietly to their explanation, his wrinkled face remaining completely calm.
"Oh, I see."
The old man's voice was soft and calm.
"Perhaps you are right. The destruction of the Tai Xuan Holy Land was not your doing."
Upon hearing this, the three saints kneeling on the ground were overjoyed, thinking they had escaped a calamity, and were about to express their gratitude.
However, the old man in blue's next words plunged them into an abyss of no return.
"But now, the Tai Xuan Holy Land has been destroyed, and all my disciples and descendants are dead. The Tai Xuan Holy Land no longer exists in this world."
The old man in blue slowly lowered his head, and a chilling madness and savagery flashed in his cloudy eyes.
"Since things have come to this, I have no intention of distinguishing right from wrong."
"Since you three holy lands have long wanted to destroy my Tai Xuan Holy Land, then today, I will send you to be buried with the Tai Xuan Holy Land."
"Whether you did it or not, you... all have to die."
The moment he finished speaking, the old man in blue sighed.
Then, he slowly raised his withered right hand and, from a distance of a hundred feet, casually slapped the three saints kneeling in mid-air.
