Chapter 481: The Third Fated Battle (Part 4)

A slight ripple flickered in Su Chen's indifferent eyes. He thought of Li Qingyue from the past. As fragments of bygone events flashed through his mind, Su Chen felt a sense of calm. That was a very, very distant past, so distant that it was insignificant compared to the vastness of his life. Its reappearance now stirred a sense of amusement and nostalgia within him.
He had no intention of returning to the past and standing before Li Qingyue, demanding to know if she regretted her changed self. He could see the Li Qingyue of the past, but he could not become himself. Therefore, such things were meaningless.
So, facing the current Long Qingxian, Su Chen smiled and casually broke off a branch from an ancient tree nearby.
Long Qingxian asked, puzzled, "What are you laughing at?"
Su Chen didn't answer. He said calmly, "Dissolving the marriage is a simple matter."
With that, Su Chen grasped the branch and casually swung it downwards.
A terrifying power erupted from the heavens, seemingly capable of annihilating the outer starry sky and cleaving the Floating Life Realm in two.
The members of the Wind and Thunder Ancient Sect were stunned.
Despair filled their eyes.
Wei Chen actually dared to attack the personal disciple of the current sect master of the Mountain and River Sect!
It's over!
Long Qingxian remained unmoved, not unmoved, but completely paralyzed. The ice crystals in her eyes shattered, her soul trembled, and fear appeared in her eyes for the first time.
Powerful figures within the Mountain and River Sect tried to intervene, but found that the sword energy pierced directly through the barrier, slashing down towards Long Qingxian from above.
"Wei Chen, how dare you! How dare you disrespect the Dragon Goddess!"
A furious roar shook the entire Floating Life Realm, causing many powerful forces to hold their breath, their eyes filled with fear.
If the Mountain and River Sect were to retaliate... the entire Floating Life Realm would likely be implicated.
The sword energy reached Long Qingxian, then passed right through her... Long Qingxian vaguely sensed a connection being severed; she seemed to be free?
At the same time,
As Su Chen's tree-branch-shaped sword energy struck, within the Mountain and River Sect, an ancient and ancient aura stirred the revival of countless Great Daos.
The current sect master of the Mountain and River Sect sensed the ancient movement, his expression stunned: "This...this is..."
The aura of his Mountain and River Sect's ancestor?
A mere wisp of aura was enough to annihilate the heavens, pressing down on him so much he couldn't lift his head. It should be known that every sect master of the Mountain and River Sect must possess top-tier strength among Emperor Realm cultivators, and he, having become the current sect master, had clearly once overpowered countless geniuses, rendering an era's prodigy unable to raise their head, arrogantly believing himself invincible... But that invincible belief shattered at this moment. Before that revived ancient aura, he seemed like a lone boat adrift at sea!
"Could this be a true immortal? No... our Mountain and River Sect has no ancestor who has become an immortal."
"I understand, this is the Nine Heavens Ancestor! The Nine Heavens Ancestor has emerged from seclusion! Could it be that there are new changes in the heavens?"
The current sect master of the Mountain and River Sect was panting, but his expression was respectful. The Nine Heavens Ancestor... that was the 139th sect master after the 138th.
An invincible powerhouse below the Immortal realm! One of the most ancient beings in the world, only he knows the origin and history of his Mountain and River Sect, a living fossil who has witnessed the 138th generation sect master to whom even the only True Immortal submits... Thinking of the 138th generation sect master, the current sect master of the Mountain and River Sect's eyes blazed with near fanaticism; that was the legend of his sect's rise!
...
Ling Jiuxiao awoke. He didn't know how many years had passed. After dying, he was resurrected with the help of the Dragon God. After his resurrection, he fell into a deep sleep, awaiting an opportunity. Now, he sensed a familiar aura emanating from a distant territory. Although faint, it filled Ling Jiuxiao with unwavering certainty.
"Sect Master..."
A rare smile appeared on Ling Jiuxiao's face. He hadn't smiled in countless years, and it appeared somewhat stiff, yet it was a genuine joy from the heart.
The next moment, Ling Jiuxiao's figure vanished from the Mountain and River Sect.
Sensing the disappearance of the Nine Heavens Ancestor's aura from the Mountain and River Sect, the current sect master was astonished: "Could it be that a major event has occurred in the myriad realms, causing the Nine Heavens Ancestor to be in such a hurry?"
.......
Dragon God Palace
In a palace suspended above the world, Long Jueshen slowly awoke from his slumber. The last time he traveled through time and space, he was suddenly slapped by someone, causing him to fall into a deep sleep for several epochs.
"It's Ling boy's aura. What has happened in the heavens that has disturbed Ling boy?"
Long Jueshen calculated with his dragon claws.
His smile instantly froze.
He knew the cause and effect.
But at this moment, he couldn't feel happy at all.
Long Jue Shen sighed deeply, "What a pity... such a blessing, yet my descendants are not fortunate enough to enjoy it."
Long Jue Shen was filled with utter disappointment. He wanted nothing more than to drag all the dragons outside out and give them a good beating. He had risked being killed to secure a tremendous opportunity for the Dragon God Palace and to give his most favored descendant a chance to become an immortal... Who could have imagined that those mediocre talents would be so short-sighted, breaking their promise at the most crucial step? Long Jue Shen was furious!
"I can't go out... I absolutely cannot go out..."
Long Jue Shen vowed in his heart that he would definitely escape to a remote dimension to hide. He had committed such a grave taboo; if he had succeeded, it would have been fine, but now he hadn't. Based on Long Jue Shen's understanding of that person, not being cut into one hundred and eight pieces was already a mercy.
He wasn't tired of living yet, and he didn't want to die so soon.
...
In the Floating Life Realm
The accompanying elder of the Mountain and River Sect was enraged. The young man before him had actually slashed at the Dragon Goddess with his sword! She was backed by the Dragon God Palace and the current sect leader of the Mountain and River Sect—two of the most powerful figures in the heavens—making her one of the most esteemed beings in the entire realm. Now, she had been desecrated, which infuriated him.
Just as he was about to retaliate, he suddenly found himself unable to move. A wisp of air slowly spread out.
An aged yet vigorous old man stood in the void, his unintentional aura enough to render everything immobile.
The accompanying elder of the Mountain and River Sect was furious. How dare someone obstruct his Mountain and River Sect? This was courting death!
As he prepared to threaten the newcomer, he gradually made out the person's face, which seemed somewhat familiar... A figure quickly overlapped with the newcomer in his mind, and suddenly his expression turned to terror, his body drenched in cold sweat, his throat bobbing but unable to utter a word, his body wanting to kneel but unable to move—all of this was instinctive. At this moment, his mind was a turbulent sea, followed by blankness!
The 139th Sect Master of the Mountain and River Sect.
The Nine Heavens Ancestor!
