Chapter 440: Monster Among Monsters, A Scheme Spanning Hundreds of Millions of Years

"Violet Heavenly Jade Fairy... has she really returned?"

The voice echoed through the Thirty Heavens.

It was not loud, yet the instant it fell, the countless supreme principles surrounding that terrifying existence trembled faintly, as if afraid of those few words.

The existence slowly closed his eyes, countless memories buried deep within his Sea of Consciousness beginning to emerge.

Hundreds of millions of years ago, there was an era when the seventy-two successors of the Jade Heaven Monastery were all renowned supreme geniuses throughout the Thirty Heavens.

Every one of them was a Lord possessing unimaginable talent and the qualifications to become a King.

And among those seventy-two, there were ten whose brilliance surpassed far surpassed their fellow successors.

The Violet Heavenly Jade Fairy was one of those ten, perhaps even one of the most terrifying among them.

Her Dao Title had once caused countless Immortals and Gods to misunderstand her.

Violet Heavenly Jade Fairy, it was a Dao Title that sounded elegant and detached, as if she specialized in some supreme Dao related to the heavens or the mysteries of creation.

But reality was entirely different.

She cultivated the Dao of Slaughter, and her understanding of it had reached an incomprehensible level.

At one point, she had once stood alone before an entire ancient Lord Dao lineage of the Six Heavens, charging in fearlessly.

She killed without blinking, killing until no one was left to oppose her, dyeing the heavens crimson with Immortal Divine Blood.

In that single battle, she slaughtered more than twenty Lords and completely annihilated their Immortal positions, severing their Dao from existence.

She even blocked their paths on the River of Time, preventing them from returning until they perished completely.

There had once been a saying circulating throughout the supreme circles of the 33 Heavens Divine Realm.

If the Violet Heavenly Jade Fairy truly wanted to kill someone...

Then unless that person was a King, they should not even think about escaping.

She had once killed Lords as easily as chopping vegetables.

This was not an exaggeration, but a fact witnessed by countless existences from her not so distant era.

The terrifying being sitting within the Thirty Heavens slowly exhaled.

"After hundreds of millions of years... who would have thought that you would actually return?"

He murmured softly, his gaze becoming increasingly profound.

But then, his expression changed slightly as he suddenly remembered something.

It had been hundreds of millions of years since she had vanished, but not many beings knew what had actually happened.

The Violet Heavenly Jade Fairy had not simply vanished; she had fallen.

Her soul had shattered, her Dao had disappeared, and her Providence had dissipated.

Even her imprint on the River of Time had seemingly vanished.

At that time, there had been countless rumors regarding her fall in the supreme circles of Sovereigns and Lords.

Some said she encountered an existence beyond her ability to resist, while some said she had entered a forbidden land and died within it.

Some also believed that she had attempted to break through the supreme boundary to achieve the status of a King and failed.

But there was another rumor, one that ordinary Lords dared not mention casually.

Her fall had something to do with the Jade Heaven Monastery itself.

...

Deep within the void space of the dimensional barrier separating the Upper Realm and Lower Realm.

The twelve figures continued standing silently, their bodies surrounded by endless chaotic light and Immortal principles.

Every one of them was suppressing a portion of the Heavenly Dao’s perception, preventing it from seeing through the deepest secrets of this Cleansing.

They were all Lords, existences whose every thought could shake countless heavens and earths.

Yet, the task of blinding the Heavenly Dao still proved to be quite strenuous for them.

After all, the Heavenly Dao was the ultimate authority and the will of the entire Great World, which encompassed the Myriad Worlds, Lower Realm, Upper Realm, and 33 Heavens Divine Realm.

Even Emperors were nothing more than slightly larger ants before the Heavenly Dao, much less Lords like them. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

It was fortunate that the Heavenly Dao was an unconscious will instead of a conscious entity and was only displaying sufficient authority to observe the Lower Realm, which allowed the Lords to blind its perception.

Otherwise, if it truly was determined and used the same amount of authority it used to observe the Divine Realm on the Lower Realm, even Emperors wouldn’t be able to blind it in the slightest.

At that moment, one of the twelve Lords suddenly stopped, his entire body freezing for a brief moment as the chaotic light surrounding him fluctuated violently.

The other eleven immediately noticed the abnormality.

"What happened?"

Another Lord beside him frowned and asked, their voice sounding like a distant echo in the void space.

The other party did not respond, simply staring at the Lower Realm silently.

His expression was hidden beneath an endless layer of chaotic light, yet beneath that concealment, a faint trace of fear actually appeared within his eyes.

For an existence at his level, that emotion was already incredibly unfamiliar.

He had lived through countless eras stretching across billions, tens of billions of years.

He had witnessed the endless heavens rise and fall, seen innumerable Immortal Sovereigns perish, and even personally participated in battles capable of destroying entire realms.

His Dao Heart had long since become incomparably firm.

Yet now, he was actually afraid.

After hundreds of millions of years, he actually felt fear once again.

That aura, that faint, almost imperceptible killing intent and aura of slaughter.

It was extremely distant and pitifully weak, yet he could never forget it even after hundreds of millions of years.

The Lord’s pupils contracted slightly, almost losing control of his emotions as he whispered.

"It cannot be..."

The Lord beside him frowned once more, keenly catching his change.

"Fellow daoist, is something wrong?"

The other party’s voice finally returned to normal after an instant.

"Nothing."

However, his gaze remained fixed upon the Lower Realm.

He knew that he could not be mistaken.

He had personally experienced that era and witnessed that terrifying woman standing atop countless corpses.

In his subconscious, she was perhaps the most powerful being under the Kings.

He had once thought that she would eventually become a King, perhaps even an Emperor.

But then, all of a sudden, she disappeared, for hundreds of millions of years, possibly having fallen.

And now, she was back once again.

His heart became increasingly heavy the more he thought about it.

The Violet Heavenly Jade Fairy was a monster even among monsters.

Her existence alone was enough to make countless Lords wary.

But that was not what truly frightened him, as she would have no reason to go after an ordinary Lord like him as long as he didn’t provoke her or stand in her way.

What frightened him was the current situation.

The Jade Heaven Monastery was one of the supreme forces behind this Cleansing and had dispatched him here.

And now, the Violet Heavenly Jade Fairy had reincarnated within the Lower Realm, that killing star whose fall was rumored to be connected to the Jade Heaven Monastery.

The Lord’s thoughts became chaotic.

Could this all truly be a coincidence, or had everything been arranged long ago?

He suddenly remembered something even more terrifying.

The Violet Heavenly Jade Fairy’s comprehension of the Dao of Slaughter was so profound that she could perceive countless traces of karma that ordinary Lords could never sense, having insights into the Dao of Karma as well.

If she had reincarnated... then perhaps she had already known that one day, she would return.

Maybe even her death was nothing more than part of a plan.

The Lord’s expression became increasingly ugly.

What exactly happened back then...

The other Lords looked at his fluctuating aura strangely, but he did not explain.

There were some secrets that even Lords could not casually speak about, especially when those secrets involved the Jade Heaven Monastery, this supreme Dao lineage that stood at the apex of the Divine Realm.

...

Back in the Lower Realm battlefield.

*Boom!*

A blood colored spear descended from the heavens with a loud boom.

An Upper Realm Half Immortal had barely raised her Dharma Artifact before the spear pierced through it.

*Crack!*

The Rank-10 Dharma Artifact shattered into countless fragments as the spear continued forward relentlessly.

*Pfft!*

Her chest was pierced through and soul annihilated in an instant.

Another crimson stream of Qi surged towards Su Yanlan, her aura increasing again.

Su Yanlan’s expression remained indifferent, as she stepped forward, the blood colored sea following behind her.

Wherever she passed, death followed.

One Upper Realm cultivator after another fell like flies dropping from the heavens.

At first, the Upper Realm army, although shocked, could still muster up battle intent to fight her. But as time went on, even that battle intent had been extinguished.

"Run!"

"Don’t fight her!"

"She’s becoming stronger!"

A Half Immortal roared while retreating, yet before he could escape far, a blood red spear tore through the void.

*Whoosh!*

*Bang!*

His body exploded into pieces as his soul scattered into spiritual dust.

Su Yanlan appeared behind him, her crimson eyes emotionless as she pulled her spear free.

Another stream of killing Qi entered her body, making her cultivation rise again.

Tian Yunchen watched this scene from afar, his eyebrows twitching slightly.

"She is already approaching the Mid Stage of Immortal Ascension Realm..."

Zhao Ye’s expression was even more complicated.

"And she has only just broken through not long ago..."

Tian Yunchen was speechless.

This was just too frightening and absurd.

The Dao of Slaughter was already terrifying, but the person walking it still had to pay an enormous price.

Yet, Su Yanlan seemed to be completely different.

She did not appear to be losing herself or going mad, instead, it was almost as if she was becoming more complete.
