Chapter 358: If I Want You to Die, You Cannot Live

Chapter 358: Chapter 190: If I Want You to Die, You Cannot Live

On a shattered and ravaged land, three figures stood. From Du Yuan’s broken body, glimmering blood fell drop by drop, each one seemingly containing immense power, annihilating the surrounding earth.

“Ancestor, whether Lord Wu Qian will help me or not remains to be seen. But you, my respected ancestor, would certainly never help me break through to Tongxuan,” Du Pengfei said coldly from the side, his face suddenly twisting into a savage sneer. “For how many years have I asked for your help to break through to Tongxuan? But you refused me, time and time again!”

“Since there’s no other way, I’ll have to ask you to go on your way peacefully, Ancestor!”

“The Du Family will finally be made great again in my hands—in the hands of Du Pengfei!!”

Upon hearing this, a deep disappointment flashed through Du Yuan’s eyes. ‘With my personality, why would I ever be unwilling to help a clansman break through to Tongxuan? The time wasn’t right, his foundation wasn’t solid. How could he possibly withstand the might of the Celestial Tribulation? Forcing a breakthrough would only lead to utter annihilation, body and soul!!’

He had told the young man to temper himself for a few more years, to make his foundation more solid, so the probability of a Broken Mirror would be greater. He had even been willing to provide explanations of Daoist Techniques to enhance his comprehension of Dao Rhythm. He never imagined that, in the other’s eyes, he was seen as so incredibly selfish, to the point of holding a grudge. ‘With a mindset like that, how could he possibly withstand the Celestial Tribulation and step into the Realm of Tongxuan?!’

“Enough, Old Ghost Du!”

“Now that you’ve said your last words, it’s time for you to be on your way!” Wu Qianlong hovered in the void, a cold glint flashing in his deep eyes as he spoke faintly. The vast, ocean-like Magical Power within him churned and surged. Dao Rhythm revolved around his body, and the aura he emitted caused the surrounding space to completely twist and collapse!

「Meanwhile」

High above in the sky, two figures hovered. One wore a light blue robe. His face was resolute, his clothes were torn and stained with blood, and his body was covered in wounds. He had clearly suffered severe injuries, yet his eyes now burned with unprecedented fury!

The other wore a white Profound Robe, his posture as straight as a pine, and his long hair drifted without a wind. His face was handsome, his eyes deep. He was wreathed in a hazy glimmer, radiating a terrifying Dao Rhythm. The sheer power of his aura was enough to make heaven and earth tremble!

Gu Yun’s eyes, shimmering with faint Thunder Arcs, pierced through space, gazing down at the Du Mansion. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he remarked with a soft sigh, “What a fine show.”

Beside him, Du Yao witnessed this scene, his eyes filled with unprecedented fury. He spoke with venom, “That old dog, Du Pengfei! Daring to backstab the Ancestor… He deserves to die ten thousand deaths! Ten thousand deaths!!”

He then bowed his head and clasped his hands toward Gu Yun beside him. “I implore you, Senior, to save my ancestor’s life! This humble one would be eternally grateful and is willing to pay any price!”

Du Yao knew in his heart that they had no prior relationship. The man was a True Monarch; even if he chose not to act, there was nothing he could do. But he had no other choice!

But unexpectedly, Gu Yun simply waved a hand and said calmly:

“It is no trouble.”

“Since This Seat is aware this man is colluding with Demon Fiends, I will ensure he is brought to justice!”

Sensing the faint trace of Demonic Qi clinging to Wu Qianlong, a cold killing intent surfaced in Gu Yun’s eyes. ‘Those who betray the Human Race will be shown no mercy!!’

…

“Old Ghost Du, it is all over!” A smile appeared on Wu Qianlong’s aged face. His rival of many years would finally fall by his hand.

‘If his own “good” kinsman hadn’t ambushed him in that secret chamber, gravely injuring him and leaving him on the brink of death, it wouldn’t have been this easy for me.’

‘As for that Du Pengfei? What a joke! He wants to use my power to break through to the Tongxuan Realm? He must be dreaming!’

‘After I kill Old Ghost Du, I’ll annihilate Du Pengfei along with the entire Du Family! How could I not understand the logic of tearing out the weeds by the roots?!’

At this thought, a terrifying Dao Rhythm surged around Wu Qianlong. He extended a finger into the air, gathering immense Magical Power that radiated an utterly horrifying aura, warping the void. A deep, cross-shaped light flared, and then a dark beam containing ultimate power howled through the air, piercing through layer after layer of space as it shot toward Du Yuan to obliterate him!

Below, Du Yuan watched as the powerful, dark beam, infused with Dao Rhythm, tore through the void. It rushed toward him with the power to annihilate everything, but in his aged eyes, there was not the slightest fear of death.

There was only intense indignation and a towering hatred. He hated that he couldn’t personally slaughter the traitor, Du Pengfei! He hated that he couldn’t personally execute the scoundrel Wu Qianlong for colluding with Demon Fiends!!

However, he had already reported the matter of his collusion with Demon Fiends to the Holy Sect.

Knowing the Holy Sect’s methods, they would never tolerate someone like Wu Qianlong who had betrayed the Human Race. They would undoubtedly do everything in their power to utterly destroy him!!

This was the one thing that brought him a sliver of comfort.

“What a pity!” Dragging his broken body, Du Yuan let out a cry thick with indignation. He stared directly at the dark beam that filled the void, growing brighter and brighter, as if directly confronting the arrival of death.

But just as Du Yuan was about to be killed,

SHIING!!

Suddenly,

A slash of light, containing an aura of ultimate sharpness, suddenly ripped through the void. It was like a river of stars descending upon the world, carrying a vast Divine Power infused with the aura of the ‘Domain’ realm. It tore through layer after layer of space, cleaving down with overwhelming force toward the dark beam that had pierced the void!

BOOM!!

The two terrifying attacks collided violently in the void, instantly creating a powerful explosion. The surrounding space collapsed violently, revealing an endless, pitch-black abyssal void from which terrifying streams of chaotic energy leaked out!

CRACK! CRACKLE!

The instant the supremely sharp slash of light touched the dark beam infused with Dao Rhythm, it utterly shattered it with the ease of snapping a dry twig. The slash then tore through space, carrying the supreme power of a starry river as it shot violently toward Wu Qianlong!
