CHAPTER 304: CHAPTER 281: PEAK

"Remember, if Zhinu dies, it’s not my doing. It’s you who abandoned her, forcing her onto a path of death yourself."

Chen Zhixing’s indifferent voice echoed continuously in Li Changsheng’s ears.

Beside him, the profound light mirror continuously played scenes of Lvu Zhinu carefully mending clothes for him, waiting for his return.

These two images intertwined continuously in Li Changsheng’s mind.

"Ah!!!"

Clutching his head, Li Changsheng felt as if his head was about to explode, letting out painful howls.

Seeing this, Chen Zhixing couldn’t help but narrow his eyes. It was close, it was getting close. Li Changsheng’s psychological defenses were nearing a breaking point.

With just a little more pressure, perhaps Li Changsheng might collapse on his own!

The next moment.

Chen Zhixing composed his thoughts, his tone carrying a heavy sense of mocking laughter:

"Li Changsheng, it seems you don’t really love that Zhinu. You speak so nicely, but when it really comes to life and death, aren’t you just cherishing your life, wanting to live on?"

His words paused.

Chen Zhixing looked regretful, sighed, and shook his head, "It’s really a pity for Zhinu; she dedicated her best years to you, accompanying you through so much hardship.

Even though you later married so many beautiful wives and concubines, she never quarreled with you. Even now, when she’s old and frail, her heart is still with you."

"And you? In front of her, you pretend to be deeply affectionate, but secretly you want to use her life to save your own."

"Aren’t you just bullying a good person?"

Before Chen Zhixing could finish.

"Stop it, I told you to stop!!!"

Li Changsheng’s eyes were bloodshot, trembling as he crouched on the ground, letting out a heart-wrenching roar.

"Chen Zhixing, watch closely! I, Li Changsheng, have lived a life of straightforwardness and righteousness. I would never betray Zhinu!"

He stared intently at Chen Zhixing, then extended his large hand, intending to strike his forehead.

"Alright, I’m watching, don’t just talk big."

Chen Zhixing also watched Li Changsheng, his smile was a cold sneer.

Closer.

It was getting closer.

Just as Li Changsheng’s palm was about to hit his forehead.

At that moment, an unexpected change occurred!

"Fellow Taoist Li, don’t believe the nonsense of this brat! If you die, do you think he will spare your wife?"

From afar, Sikong Xuanji shouted loudly.

In an instant!

Originally, Li Changsheng, who was unleashing terrifying Demon Essence and planning to destroy his Great Tao Foundation, cutting off his own vitality, suddenly froze.

It was as if he had been struck head-on, his body shook, then a look of confusion gradually appeared in his eyes.

Soon, this confusion swiftly transformed into a sudden realization.

High in the sky.

"Sikong Xuanji!!!"

Chen Zhixing suddenly raised his head, looking towards Sikong Xuanji in the distant Nine Heavens, his eyes filled with overwhelming murderous intent!

This Sikong Xuanji had thwarted his plans multiple times!

He had never wanted to kill someone like he did now!

"Li Changsheng, you’re a good person, and the weakness of good people is their kindness!"

"This brat is trying to exploit your weakness..."

Sikong Xuanji was about to continue speaking.

"You’re courting death!"

Chen Daoyan’s eyes flashed with a cold light, and in an instant, he stepped out, with the sun, moon, and stars under his feet reversing, appearing in front of Sikong Xuanji.

Sikong Xuanji’s face changed, intending to retreat hastily.

A ray of axe light slashed horizontally, directly severing his arm, then slashed across his face, slicing his entire head in two!

Then, the axe light turned over again, striking down fiercely, splitting Sikong Xuanji in half!

Countless light and rain scattered, rapidly retreating.

Then, the light and rain condensed again, re-forming Sikong Xuanji’s figure.

Sikong Xuanji’s face turned paler, like rice paper, as he looked up at Chen Daoyan, his eyes filled with fear.

This strike by Chen Daoyan not only took away his physical body but also heavily hit his Great Tao Foundation!

Even though he had stepped into the Nirvana Realm, known as undying with blood rebirth.

But if he were to be killed a few more times, breaking the Great Tao Foundation, then the Nirvana Power would be cut off, leading to true downfall!

On the deck.

"Chen Zhixing, you’re despicable!"

Li Changsheng gave Chen Zhixing a cold glance, then swept his eyes around, knowing that killing Chen Zhixing today was impossible, he was filled with thoughts of retreat.

Boom!!!

He stamped his foot, soaring into the sky immediately.

"Trying to leave?"

Netherworld Elders’ eyes flashed, about to make a move.

"Let him go."

Chen Zhixing placed a hand on the shoulders of the two, gently shaking his head at them.

"Third Young Master, you’re not going to keep him?" Netherworld Elders frowned.

"It’s impossible to keep him, no need to waste futile efforts."

Chen Zhixing took a deep breath, this Li Changsheng was able to contend with Elder Nether at the Nirvana Third Layer.

Now Li Changsheng had cultivated to the Nirvana Sixth Layer, and even awakened the Celestial Demon Body.

If relying on the Flying Ship’s Hundred-layered Array, well, Li Changsheng wouldn’t be able to hurt him.

But if Netherworld Elders were to forcefully pursue, they might encounter unexpected events.

"Understood." Netherworld Elders nodded.

The next moment.

Chen Zhixing looked up, watching Li Changsheng’s figure leaving into the sky, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Bam!

He crushed the profound light mirror in his hand.

"Elder Nether, pass my order to Dugu Ni and the others, tell them to take action."

Elder Nether licked his lips, revealing a cruel smile, "Understood!"

On the other side.

High above the Nine Heavens, an earth-shattering battle erupted once more!

Those seven elders along with Sikong Xuanji and a black-clad old servant, a total of nine Nirvana Realm warriors, all battled against Chen Daoyan!

Spectacular clashes echoed, shaking the heavens and earth, causing ghosts to wail and gods to howl, with sun and moon shaking together!

Chen Daoyan fully transformed into an invincible white-haired War Immortal, each axe strike split the universe, tearing open the sky, suppressing the nine Nirvana warriors to the point of breathlessness.

Yet these nine coordinated seamlessly, unable to be completely subdued in a short time.

Just when this intense battle was about to tear apart the entire Ninefold Celestial Palace.

"Enough, everyone stop."

An ancient sigh seemed to cross time and space, resounding throughout the Nine Heavens.

As this voice faded.

The chaotic light of the Ninefold Celestial Palace, previously raging like a furious sea, suddenly seemed to be smoothed by a giant hand, turning into a calm lake.

"An... ancestor?!"

Sikong Xuanji’s face suddenly lit up with joy, raising his head to look skyward.

The remaining Seven Elders and the black-clad old servant also trembled, showing disbelief.

In the distance, Chen Daoyan’s eyebrows furrowed deeply.

In the midst of a void.

A figure garbed in ancient grey clothing, exuding an infinite old and decaying aura, enveloped in a grey Tao radiance, stepped forth.

He resembled the vessel of the Great Tao, the embodiment of law, without mobilizing any cultivation, yet causing heaven and earth to sing in harmony, myriad laws self-evolving, chains of law intertwining.

Heavenly maidens scattered flowers, the earth teemed with golden lotuses.

Endless primal immortality radiance burst forth, auspicious clouds spreading.

The entire world seemed to be welcoming this person’s arrival.

The next moment.

This figure halted his steps, looking into a void, his voice carrying a hint of weariness:

"Fellow Taoist Chen, let the matters between the younger generation end here?"
