CHAPTER 331: CHAPTER 244: UNDERWORLD APPEARS

Lu Yan’s voice was eerily calm, as if merely discussing today’s weather.

The entire Spiritual Rhyme Conference fell silent, all cultivators instinctively holding their breath. A Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator killing a late Golden Core True Inheritor was an unbelievable event happening before their eyes, impossible to accept, yet undeniably real.

He Dongsheng stood behind Lu Yan, too shocked to speak.

He had never imagined Lu Yan would go this far for him, nor did he expect Lu Yan’s strength to be so terrifyingly immense, effortlessly breaking a Nascent Soul realm’s Spirit Talisman.

It was a long while before a voice burst out from the Immortal Island, filled with furious laughter.

"Good! Very good!"

On the Immortal Island, where the Spirit Talisman descended, the overwhelming pressure of a Nascent Soul True Monarch swept through the entire Spiritual Rhyme Conference, followed by a young man with white hair striding forward.

The white-haired young man’s robe was woven from hundreds of talismans, and as he moved with the stride of a tiger and dragon, the magical talismans manifested countless phenomena, leaving hearts astounded.

He was the True Inheritor of the Ten Thousand Laws Sect, one of the ten major orthodox sects, and one of the only three Nascent Soul cultivators in the All Immortals Alliance, True Monarch Yunlu.

Behind True Monarch Yunlu, over a dozen Ten Thousand Laws Sect True Inheritors followed closely, overlooking Lu Yan from the heights of the sky.

With the appearance of True Monarch Yunlu, above the sky, various rays of light intertwined into a magnificent curtain, as seventeen Immortal Islands simultaneously displayed dazzling phenomena.

There was the Immortal Tree Cyan Simurgh supporting the sky, the Three-legged Golden Crow turning into the sun, the light of Ten Thousand Buddhas Descending illuminating all, the Northern Sword Immortal wielding a sword to slash the heavens...

Even above the Red Lotus Demon Sect, a blood-colored lotus was refining myriad karmic forces.

Amidst these numerous phenomena, the True Inheritors of each sect descended from the sky, dressed in diverse robes, their auras unique yet equally powerful.

Some stood atop Immortal Swords, their sharpness unmatched; others were surrounded by Thunder Power; some had Star Illusions appearing behind them; and some wielded ancient magical artifacts.

This was a rare grand event in the All Immortals Alliance, almost every top True Inheritor was alarmed by Lu Yan’s actions, naturally including the Taiyi Sect.

Among the Taiyi Sect, many True Inheritors sat amidst the clouds, with the twenty-fifth True Inheritor narrowing their eyes to observe Lu Yan, a hint of delight hidden in their eyes.

After Lu Yan was promoted to True Inheritor, information about his identity was concealed, but as the top True Inheritor below the Divinity Transformation Realm in the Taiyi Sect, True Monarch Can Fa could still use his authority to investigate Lu Yan’s true identity.

In True Monarch Can Fa’s view, Lu Yan was merely a mortal who had stumbled upon an opportunity; even entering the Taiyi Sect, he had spent Spirit Stones to purchase the identity of an external branch disciple from Zhu Zhuoqun. Within the Taiyi Sect, he didn’t even possess a proper lineage inheritance.

If it weren’t for Mu Chunqiu’s favor granting him the opportunity to try for True Inheritor status, Lu Yan would have had no chance of becoming a Taiyi Sect True Inheritor.

As a legitimate heir of the Taiyi Sect, True Monarch Can Fa held a persistent disdain for Lu Yan.

However, the more critical issue was that Lu Yan’s meteoric rise, being able to rebel against Golden Core at Foundation Establishment, meant he would inevitably achieve Nascent Soul in the future and had already been seen as a cornerstone figure of the next generation.

Traditionally, in the Taiyi Sect, every hundred years, a Primordial Spirit Pill would be refined by the third True Inheritor and awarded to the most outstanding meritorious individual in guarding the Great Destruction Realm. Before Lu Yan’s emergence, True Monarch Can Fa was practically certain to acquire that Primordial Spirit Pill, known to assist in transforming into a Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarch.

Nascent Soul is easy to achieve, but Divinity Transformation is difficult to attain.

True Monarch Can Fa had ascended to the Nascent Soul realm before the age of a hundred, but as for stepping into the Divinity Transformation Realm, they had little confidence.

After all, in each generation of the Taiyi Sect, there have been people who achieved Nascent Soul before a hundred, but those who reached Divinity Transformation with the help of a Primordial Spirit Pill were scarce.

Now that Lu Yan was rising rapidly, once he subsequently broke through to the Nascent Soul realm, with Lu Yan’s combat prowess, he would definitely establish even greater merits, and by then, True Monarch Can Fa would miss out on the Primordial Spirit Pill, further reducing the probability of Divinity Transformation without its aid, which was something True Monarch Can Fa could not accept.

It was for this reason that True Monarch Can Fa chose to stand by as the Red Lotus Demon Sect made a move against Lu Yan.

At this moment, Lu Yan had committed an enormous blunder by killing a True Inheritor of the Red Lotus Demon Sect in public, and even though True Monarch Can Fa appeared serious, inwardly they were almost bursting with laughter.

In the Realm of Destruction under the All Immortals Alliance, no matter how fierce the competition was in the cultivation realm, internal strife was absolutely forbidden.

The enemies in the Realm of Destruction were too numerous for the All Immortals Alliance, and any internal problem would have unimaginable consequences.

Even if Lu Yan survives, he cannot compete with True Monarch Can Fa for the Primordial Spirit Pill.

Standing in the sky, True Monarch Yunlu was enveloped in countless talismans, emitting a powerful pressure as if tearing the entire sky apart.

"Lu Yan, disregarding the Nascent Soul law and slaughtering our All Immortals Alliance True Inheritors, do you admit your guilt?"

Although inwardly joyous, True Monarch Can Fa, as the chief Nascent Soul True Inheritor of the Taiyi Sect, could not reveal it, only showing a pained sigh and speaking sternly:

"Junior Brother Lu, although the members of the Red Lotus Demon Sect attacked you, that is not a reason for you to strike them down."

And in the opposite sky, overwhelming demonic qi coiled around a luxurious magical carriage, forming terrifying phenomena. Behind a veil of black gauze, a seductive figure lounged, speaking with a trace of playful mockery:

"I think the killing was well done; those fools of the Red Lotus Demon Sect have acted recklessly not once or twice."

"However... to kill a True Inheritor of the All Immortals Alliance, you must also bear the corresponding consequences."

The True Monarch of Killing, the contemporary chief True Inheritor of the Celestial Demon Path, was also the last Nascent Soul True Monarch in the All Immortals Alliance.
