Chapter 2636 - 2635: Slaying Anshan, The Secret of the Memorial Tablets

The Heavenly King Tower is indeed an invaluable treasure.

But despite the protection of the Heavenly King Tower, under the relentless attack of the Thousand-Eyed Eagle King.

Protector Bai eventually couldn't hold on.

His body was bloody and mangled, with hardly a single place intact.

Most importantly, the attacks of the Thousand-Eyed Eagle King inflicted damage beyond just his physical body.

His Divine Soul was also harmed, making recovery difficult in the short term.

The power of the Thousand-Eyed Eagle King, upon entering Protector Bai's body, continuously destroyed his Divine Soul.

Preventing him from recovering in a short time.

Finally, Protector Bai couldn't hold on any longer.

He was directly pierced through the chest by the Thousand-Eyed Eagle King, then torn to pieces.

The two halves of his barely alive remains were directly thrown aside.

Subsequently, the Thousand-Eyed Eagle King stepped toward the palace.

His condensed claws fiercely struck the palace door.

Yet the door seemed quite resilient.

The first strike did not open it.

However, the Thousand-Eyed Eagle King did not hesitate and continued his relentless pounding.

Cracks finally appeared on the door.

Ultimately, it shattered.

......

At this moment, outside the Ancestor Temple.

As Xu Zimei brought down his saber, Ancestor Anshan activated the Zhu'an Dao.

Trapping a small section of the surrounding void in Eternal Darkness.

And his body merged into part of the darkness.

This is one of the abilities of his Zhu'an Dao.

When he slips into the darkness, he can conceal himself to the utmost, making him untraceable.

Moreover, all his attributes are enhanced.

He can traverse the darkness with ease, appearing and disappearing like a phantom.

Most importantly, his Power of Darkness can control minds.

Once someone is eroded by the dark power of Zhu'an, they become controlled, turning into a puppet.

Thus, at this moment, Ancestor Anshan merged into the darkness, and his figure vanished.

And the residual might of Xu Zimei's saber naturally swung into emptiness.

Following the strike, more than half of the Xuntian Mansion was affected.

Countless buildings collapsed, and the earth cracked with endless abyssal clefts.

The surrounding area became a void.

Suddenly, Ancestor Anshan appeared like a phantom beside Xu Zimei.

The endlessly concentrated dark power transformed into a torrent, engulfing Xu Zimei.

His attack was quite sudden.

Even Xu Zimei's Divine Soul Power struggled to detect it.

It made Xu Zimei understand.

Why earlier, when probing the Ancestor Temple, his Divine Soul seemed blocked by some force.

Now it seems that Ancestor Anshan was screening the entire Ancestor Temple.

With the inability to perceive with Divine Soul, Ancestor Anshan's ambush was very unexpected.

Xu Zimei barely had time to react.

The torrent-like power had already descended upon Xu Zimei.

Ancestor Anshan laughed heartily.

"Boy, I acknowledge your strength, you've got some skills."

"But the world out there is vast, and all kinds of powerful beings exist. In my hands, you're better off becoming the puppet of an ancestor."

"Rest assured, I won't mistreat you; with you as a puppet, I'll make you shine brightly."

"Is that so?"

Xu Zimei slowly turned his head and looked at him calmly.

Ancestor Anshan's expression froze.

"Why... why do you still have consciousness?"

Ancestor Anshan had absolute confidence in his power.

Clearly, the Eternal Darkness Power had already eroded the opponent's Divine Soul, so why was the opponent still conscious?

"Sorry to disappoint you,"

Xu Zimei said with a smile.

Inside him, the Purple Gold Pearl was continuously spinning.

Almost all the Eternal Darkness Power, upon entering, was absorbed into the Purple Gold Pearl.

Not a trace left.

This Purple Gold Pearl is formed by the condensation of Cosmic Force; what power in the world can it not absorb?

Seeing Xu Zimei unharmed, the face of Zhu'an Ancestor drastically changed.

He instantly attempted to disappear into the darkness again.

But in the next moment, he looked down slowly.

There, his chest was unknowingly pierced by Tyrant Shadow.

This strike even sliced through his Divine Soul.

He didn't know when the strike had penetrated his chest.

Perhaps the saber was too fast.

So fast that he didn't even have time to react.

After all, when a blade is fast enough, it might take a moment before you feel the sting.

"You were already a Living Dead. Since you're already dead, I'll finish you off completely."

Xu Zimei spoke thus.

The next moment, using Tyrant Shadow as the core.

Endless Blade Intent erupted from Tyrant Shadow.

Completely annihilating Ancestor Anshan within.

This move eradicates the opponent's bodily consciousness and lingering Divine Soul.

After all, within Ancestor Anshan, there was no complete Divine Soul.

Just a fusion of a sliver of Divine Soul and will, bound in the body by some means, forming the appearance of a Living Dead.

Now Xu Zimei directly severed this Divine Soul and consciousness.

Ancestor Anshan howled unwillingly.

And with no consciousness to sustain it, his body started to rot incessantly.

Within moments, it turned to nothingness, dissipating.

With Ancestor Anshan dead, Xu Zimei glanced at Shen Baizhi nearby.

The other party was dumbfounded by fear.

But Xu Zimei did not kill her.

Instead, he said, "What are you standing there for? Lead the way ahead."

"You're... you're not going to kill me?" Shen Baizhi thought she was dead for sure.

But unexpectedly, Xu Zimei did not kill her.

Not dying is naturally the best outcome.

No one would foolishly seek their own demise.

She quickly entered the Ancestor Temple ahead.

Led the way.

Xu Zimei followed closely behind, also walking in.

The Ancestor Temple was not large.

Upon entering, three interconnected rooms were visible.

In these rooms, dozens of identical plaques were placed.

[Seventh Ancestor Jiang Xitian of the Xuntian Clan.]

[Ninth Ancestor Jiang Qunshan of the Xuntian Clan.]

......

Etched on the plaques were names in black letters.

They were various powerful beings that emerged since the creation of the Xuntian Clan.

Understand that these plaques are not for just anyone to be enshrined.

Only particularly powerful ancestors or those who made significant contributions can be included.

Xu Zimei glanced around the three rooms.

They were filled with plaques.

Shen Baizhi watched him, not knowing what Xu Zimei was searching for.

And Xu Zimei's Divine Soul continuously searched within the Ancestor Temple.

Not sparing any trace of clues.

After all, without Ancestor Anshan's cover, the entire Ancestor Temple was under his Divine Soul's perception.

Finally, Xu Zimei seemed to have discovered something.

He walked toward the plaques.

With one palm strike, countless plaques shattered, breaking apart.

But only the foremost, a lone plaque, remained intact.
