“Huatian Xiong, you actually weren’t captured? Are you, are you Yuxu Sect trying to mock me?”
Wuchang Yi Dao wore a grim expression, glaring fiercely at Huatian Xiong.
But Huatian Xiong completely ignored him, directly extending his finger and releasing a drop of blood.
“So it’s actually a fraud. As expected…”
Shui Miao’s thoughts whirled. From the beginning, he had found it strange—how could the son of the revered master of the Yuxu Sect be so easily eliminated? No one would believe it! Now, Shui Miao finally understood. There was indeed a hidden plot. However, why hadn’t the thousand-year-old female ghost, Bailian, appeared yet?
Bu Yi and Meng San Niang were both filled with deep regret, harboring resentment toward Shui Miao for recklessly entrusting a supreme immortal artifact to someone else.
“Do you two think I didn’t consider from the beginning that this treasure might be stolen?”
Shui Miao suddenly smiled sinisterly.
“What?”
Bu Yi and Meng San Niang were both stunned.
Upon hearing this, the Four Dragon Lords also looked astonished.
Huatian Xiong and Wuchang Yi Dao both turned their gazes toward Shui Miao.
Thick, unusual radiant lights began to rise around Shui Miao’s body. In an instant, powerful forces of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements descended from the sky, enveloping the entire E’long Island.
“What, what kind of power is this!?”
“So powerful! Could it possibly be an Immortal Emperor!?”
“It’s too terrifying. Shui Miao, are you the incarnation of the Immortal Emperor?”
“Don’t kill us! We are your allies!”
The Four Dragon Lords panicked first, assuming Shui Miao was the embodiment of the Immortal Emperor.
“Yes, could it be that…”
Feeling the arrival of this power, Bu Yi suddenly had an idea—it must be that Shui Miao was about to activate the Tian Dou Si Xiang Zhen (Heavenly Dipper Four Symbols Formation) to eliminate Huatian Xiong. But immediately after, Bu Yi sensed the arrival of massive Yin spirit energy, which bore the aura of the Ten Yin Kun Yuan Zhen (Ten Yin Earth Formation).
Indeed, Shui Miao had already transferred all the mighty formations from the Tian Yuan Ring.
“Oh no! This is actually a Supreme Treasure! He actually possesses a Supreme Treasure! This… this… this can’t be possible. Even my father only has one Supreme Treasure. Shui Miao is nothing but an insignificant ant-like figure—how can he also have a Supreme Treasure? How could he possibly deserve it?”
Huatian Xiong had already performed a blood-binding ritual with the time-related artifact, wearing it on his body, but he couldn’t feel any joy—he was trapped by a Supreme Treasure.
He screamed hysterically, shaking his head in disbelief, clearly showing his contempt for Shui Miao.
“You ask me what gives me the right? Let me tell you: my righteousness, my sincerity toward friends, and my own efforts. In contrast, you’re nothing but an arrogant immortal born into privilege. What else do you have besides your fortunate birth? What else can you do besides relying on your father’s reputation to commit atrocities? You’re just a conceited second-generation immortal. You even stole my artifact. What separates you from a robber? Today, I, Shui Miao, will uphold justice and completely eradicate you, avenging my father, Chen Yiren!”
As Shui Miao’s words faded, the entire E’long Island darkened and trembled, with blood qi surging.
The grand formation from the Sheng Yuan Ring fully descended. The surrounding scenery changed abruptly, transforming once again into a cosmic starry expanse.
“So you’re the son of Chen Yiren. So all of this was your scheme—you intend to overthrow our Yuxu Sect. Unfortunately, your plan will never come to fruition! Haha, Shui Miao, your arrogant father was ultimately killed by me. Little brat, do you think you can kill me? You’re wrong. You’ll never, ever be able to kill me. I have a life talisman in the Immortal Realm—I will be reborn, and I will become even stronger. But you won’t get that chance, because I possess ten supreme immortal artifacts. I will cause all ten of them to self-destruct, completely destroying your Supreme Treasure… Oh, that’s right, it’s actually eleven supreme artifacts. I forgot the Time Pearl you just gave me. Now, you all die with me… Hahahaha…”
Huatian Xiong laughed wildly. Sacrificing eleven supreme artifacts to destroy one Supreme Treasure was worth it.
“Hmph! The second-generation immortals are indeed foolish.”
Seated calmly within the formation, Shui Miao coldly smiled. He raised his hand, and instantly, a giant black hand appeared above Huatian Xiong, directly plunging down toward his head.
Huatian Xiong, you don’t even recognize the formation before you. You fail to grasp the depth of my command over formations. This formation incorporates over a hundred thousand immortal treasures, its power far exceeding your imagination. Even if you were to destroy ten top-grade treasures, or even a hundred, you still couldn’t shatter this Supreme Treasure! More importantly, you won’t even have the opportunity to attempt self-destruction!
“Click!”
Bang!
With one strike of the black hand, Huatian Xiong’s upper body exploded.
This black hand was the combined force of Shui Miao’s entire immortal power, Soul Devouring ability, and the strength of over a hundred thousand immortal artifacts. Not even Huatian Xiong’s father, or even an Immortal Emperor, could withstand such a terrifying, fatal strike.
Under the effect of the Soul Devouring Force, Huatian Xiong’s memories, immortal power, and everything else were corroded and refined away.
“He killed a Da Luo Golden Immortal, the son of a revered master!?” Wuchang Yi Dao staggered backward in shock. “This is unbelievable! Incredible! Huatian Xiong was a peak Da Luo Golden Immortal cultivator, only a single step away from becoming a revered master himself, yet he was killed with one strike, and several top-grade artifacts were instantly destroyed. This opponent—I initially thought he was merely a little kid!”
“Haha! Shui Miao, you’re incredible! Killing a Da Luo Golden Immortal was as simple as squashing an ant!”
“Wuchang Yi Dao, now you’re going to die too!”
“Damn bastard! You injured us all! We demand blood for blood!”
“Kill him! Shui Miao, our leader, we’ll follow you from now on. Please help us kill him!”
The Four Dragon Lords all spoke up, elated to see that Shui Miao possessed a Supreme Treasure.
“Shui Miao, by killing a Da Luo Golden Immortal, you’ve incurred the wrath of the revered master and the Yuxu Sect. Great calamity is about to befall you. Now, do you still want to provoke the Underworld by siding with these four evil dragons? I see you as someone who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. I advise you not to compound your mistakes. Killing me is trivial, but offending the entire Underworld will leave you with no place to bury your corpse!”
Suddenly, Wuchang Yi Dao roared at Shui Miao.
“Shui Miao, you must not kill Wuchang Yi Dao!” Bu Yi quickly advised.
Meng San Niang frowned and said, “Shui Miao! We shouldn’t make too many enemies right now. Wuchang Yi Dao is a rigid rule-follower. Killing him serves no purpose. Why don’t you try to mediate and encourage reconciliation?”
“Reconciliation?”
Wuchang Yi Dao sneered. “Meng San Niang, you’re too naive. I am the top hunter of the Underworld’s Law Enforcement Division. My duty is clear—these four evil dragons must die today. Unless you kill me, I will fulfill my mission and bring back their heads.”
“Damn it! Who do you think you are! Do you really think we four are afraid of you!?”
“Kill him, Shui Miao! We’re on the same side! Help us kill him!”
“Today, Wuchang Yi Dao, it’s either you or me!”
“If it’s inconvenient for you, Shui Miao, let us settle this grudge ourselves.”
Among the Four Dragon Lords, the one who had previously swallowed thirty-six Da Luo Golden Immortals was the leader. His words were more sincere, and he seemed unwilling to trouble Shui Miao.
Shui Miao slightly furrowed his brow. “Wuchang Yi Dao, I respect your integrity, but since you have captured me, I will neither kill you nor easily release you from this formation. If you possess the strength, defeat them and break through the formation to leave. Four Dragon Lords, you indeed plotted to seize my supreme artifact—don’t deny it; I heard everything. However, you also aided and protected me, so our debts are now settled. Now, resolve your conflict with Wuchang Yi Dao on your own. If you defeat them and are genuinely willing to pledge allegiance to me, I will accept you and treat you sincerely. But if you are slain by Wuchang Yi Dao, then you can only blame your own inferior abilities.”
Shui Miao’s words were clear and firm.
After hearing this, the Four Dragon Lords had no other choice but to immediately engage Wuchang Yi Dao in battle.
Shui Miao had no interest in watching the fight. Instead, he turned toward an empty space a hundred meters behind him, sighed lightly, and smiled. “Senior Bailian, the thousand-year-old female ghost, it’s time for you to reveal yourself. I’m very curious about what other shocking schemes you might have. If your enemy is also the Yuxu Sect, please speak out—we can discuss it together.”
“Shui Miao, you’ve truly impressed me. However, my enemy is actually Laozi, the Supreme Elder—you call him your master.”
Suddenly, the millennium-old female ghost Bai Lian appeared, revealing a cosmic secret that shook heaven and earth.
