“Huatian Xiong, you actually weren’t captured? You… you Jade Void Sect are playing games with me?”
Yichang Yi Dao wore a grim expression, glaring fiercely at Huatian Xiong.
However, Huatian Xiong completely ignored him, directly extending a finger and releasing a drop of his blood.
“So it’s a trick, just as I suspected…”
Shui Miao’s thoughts churned. Initially, he had found it strange—how could the son of the Jade Void Sect’s Immortal Lord be so easily eliminated? No one would believe such a thing! Now, finally, Shui Miao understood. There had indeed been a hidden plot. But then, why hadn’t the thousand-year-old female ghost Bai Lian appeared?
“Hua Tianxiong, you actually weren’t captured? You… you people of the Yuxu Sect, are you playing me?”
Wuchang Yidao’s face was ashen as he glared fiercely at Hua Tianxiong.
But Hua Tianxiong paid him no mind at all. Instead, he stretched out his finger and offered a drop of blood.
“So it was all a scam after all…”
Shui Miao’s thoughts raced. From the very beginning, he had found it strange—how could the son of the esteemed Yuxu Sect’s Immortal Venerable be so easily eliminated? No one would believe such a story! Now, Shui Miao finally understood: there was a conspiracy behind it all. But why hadn’t the thousand-year female ghost, Bai Lian, made an appearance?
Both Bu Yi and Meng Sanniang were filled with regret, resentful of Shui Miao’s carelessness in handing over a supreme-grade immortal artifact to someone else.
“Both of you, did you really think I hadn’t considered the possibility that this treasure might be stolen from the very beginning?”
Shui Miao suddenly let out a sinister laugh.
“What?”
Both Bu Yi and Meng Sanniang were taken aback.
Hearing this, the Four Dragon Lords also froze.
Hua Tianxiong and Wuchang Yidao both turned to look at Shui Miao.
Around Shui Miao’s body, thick and unusual rays of light began to rise. Massive forces of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements instantly descended from the sky, enveloping the entire Evil Dragon Island!
“What… what kind of power is this?!”
“It’s so strong! Could it be that the Immortal Emperor has arrived?!”
“This is terrifying! Shui Miao, are you… are you an incarnation of the Immortal Emperor?”
“Don’t kill us! We are your allies!”
The Four Dragon Lords were the first to panic, convinced that Shui Miao was an incarnation of the Immortal Emperor.
“Wait, could it be…?”
Sensing the descent of this power, Bu Yi suddenly had a realization: Shui Miao must be planning to use the Tiandou Sixiang Formation to kill Hua Tianxiong! But immediately after, Bu Yi also sensed the arrival of a massive Yin energy—the aura of the Shiyin Kunyuan Formation.
Indeed, Shui Miao had already transferred all the massive formations from the Tianyuan Ring.
“Oh no! This is actually a Supreme Treasure! How does he have a Supreme Treasure in his hands? Th-this… this is impossible! Even my father only has one Supreme Treasure. Shui Miao is nothing but an ant—how could he possibly possess a Supreme Treasure? What gives him the right? What exactly gives him the right?!”
Hua Tianxiong had blood-bound the Time Treasure Pearl and donned it, but he couldn’t feel any joy because he was trapped by the Supreme Treasure.
He screamed hysterically, shaking his head repeatedly, looking down on Shui Miao with utter contempt.
“You ask me what gives me the right? Let me tell you—I, Shui Miao, rely on loyalty, sincerity toward friends, and my own hard work. In contrast, you, a so-called immortal, what do you have aside from being born into a better family? What else do you possess? Aside from relying on your father’s reputation to commit evil deeds everywhere, what abilities do you have? You’re nothing but a self-righteous immortal second generation! You even stole my treasure—how are you any different from a bandit? As for an immortal second generation like you, today I will execute heaven’s will and utterly destroy you, to avenge my father, Chen Yiren!”
As soon as Shui Miao’s words fell, the entire Evil Dragon Island underwent a drastic change, engulfed in rolling blood energy.
The grand formation within the Shengyuan Ring fully descended, and the surroundings transformed abruptly into a cosmic starscape.
“So you’re that Chen Yiren’s son! So all of this was premeditated by you—you want to overthrow our Yuxu Sect! Unfortunately, your plans will never succeed! Haha, Shui Miao, your arrogant father was still killed by me! You foolish brat, do you really think you can kill me? You’re wrong! You will never, ever be able to kill me! I have a life talisman in the Immortal Realm—I will be reborn, and I will become stronger. But you… you have no chance! Because I have ten supreme-grade immortal artifacts on me, and I will make them self-destruct, completely destroying your Supreme Treasure! Oh, wait—eleven supreme-grade immortal artifacts. I almost forgot, I also have this Time Pearl you just gave me. Now, all of you, go die! Hahahaha…”
Hua Tianxiong laughed wildly, thinking it was worth destroying a Supreme Treasure with eleven supreme-grade immortal artifacts.
“Hmph! Immortal second generations are indeed foolish.”
Shui Miao, sitting steadily within the formation, also let out a cold laugh. He raised his hand, and a giant black hand materialized above Hua Tianxiong’s head, descending directly toward him. “Hua Tianxiong, you have no idea what kind of formation you’re facing. You have no idea how deeply I’ve comprehended formations. This formation contains over a hundred thousand immortal artifacts—its power far exceeds your imagination. Even if you self-destruct a hundred supreme-grade immortal artifacts, you still won’t be able to destroy this Supreme Treasure! Moreover, you won’t even have the chance to self-destruct!”
“Crack!”
“Boom!”
With one grab, the giant black hand crushed Hua Tianxiong’s upper body!
This black hand was the combined power of Shui Miao’s immortal energy, soul-devouring force, and the energy of over a hundred thousand immortal artifacts. Not to mention Hua Tianxiong—even if his father or the Immortal Emperor were here, they would never withstand this terrifying, fatal strike.
Under the effect of the soul-devouring force, Hua Tianxiong’s memories, immortal power, and everything else were completely corroded and refined.
“He killed a Great Luo Golden Immortal—the son of an Immortal Venerable!” Wuchang Yidao exclaimed in shock, stepping back repeatedly. “This is unbelievable! Too powerful! Hua Tianxiong was a peak-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, just one step away from becoming an Immortal Venerable, and he was killed with a single strike! He even destroyed several supreme-grade immortal artifacts in an instant. To think I initially thought he was just a little brat?!”
“Haha! Shui Miao, you’re incredible! Killing a Great Luo Golden Immortal is as easy as crushing an ant!”
“Wuchang Yidao, now you’re done for!”
“You bastard, you injured all of us—we’ll make you pay in blood!”
“Kill him! Boss Shui Miao, we’ll follow you from now on. Please help us kill him!”
The Four Dragon Lords spoke up one after another. Seeing that Shui Miao possessed a Supreme Treasure, they grew excited.
“Shui Miao, you’ve killed a Great Luo Golden Immortal, offended an Immortal Venerable, and angered the Yuxu Sect. Your doom is imminent. Now, are you really going to help these four evil dragons offend the Netherworld as well? I see you as someone who distinguishes kindness from enmity. I advise you not to compound your errors. Killing me is a small matter, but if you offend the entire Netherworld, you will absolutely die without a burial place!”
Wuchang Yidao suddenly roared at Shui Miao.
“Shui Miao, you must not kill this Wuchang Yidao!” Bu Yi hurriedly advised.
Meng Sanniang frowned and said, “Shui Miao, we shouldn’t make too many enemies right now. This Wuchang Yidao is a fool who only knows how to follow orders. Killing him serves no purpose. How about you try to persuade them to reconcile?”
“Reconcile?” Wuchang Yidao sneered. “Meng Sanniang, you’re too naive. I am the top hunter of the Netherworld’s Law Enforcement Division. It is my duty to ensure these four evil dragons die today. Unless you kill me, I will complete my mission and bring their heads back to report.”
“Bastard! Who do you think you are? The four of us aren’t afraid of you!”
“Kill him, Shui Miao! We’re on the same side—help us kill him!”
“Wuchang Yidao, today it’s either you die or we perish!”
“Shui Miao, if it’s inconvenient, let us settle this grudge ourselves.”
Among the Four Dragon Lords, the one who had previously devoured thirty-six Great Luo Golden Immortals—the leader of the four—spoke with sincerity, seemingly unwilling to cause trouble for Shui Miao.
Shui Miao’s eyebrows twitched slightly. “Wuchang Yidao, I respect your integrity, but you captured me. Although I won’t kill you, I won’t let you leave this formation easily either. If you have the ability, defeat them and break the formation to leave. Four Dragon Lords, you originally intended to steal my supreme-grade immortal artifact, didn’t you? Don’t deny it—I heard everything. But you also helped me and protected me, so our debts are settled. Now, settle your life-and-death battle with Wuchang Yidao yourselves. If you win and sincerely wish to follow me, I will certainly take you in and treat you with sincerity. But if Wuchang Yidao kills you, then you can only blame your lack of skill.”
Shui Miao’s words were clear and unambiguous.
Hearing this, the Four Dragon Lords had no other choice and immediately engaged Wuchang Yidao in battle.
Shui Miao had no interest in watching their fight. Instead, he turned to look at an empty space a hundred meters behind him, sighed, and smiled faintly. “Senior Bai Lian, the thousand-year female ghost, isn’t it time for you to show yourself? I’m very curious to know what earth-shattering conspiracy you’re still hiding. If your enemy is also the Yuxu Sect, then please speak up. Shall we discuss it together?”
“Shui Miao, you continue to impress me. However, my enemy is Taishang Laojun—and he is your master.”
The thousand-year female ghost Bai Lian suddenly appeared, revealing the truth and stunning everyone with her words.
“Hua Tianxiong, you actually weren’t captured? You… you people of the Yuxu Sect, are you playing me?”
Wuchang Yidao’s face was ashen as he glared fiercely at Hua Tianxiong.
But Hua Tianxiong paid him no mind. Instead, he stretched out his finger and offered a drop of blood.
“So it was a scam after all…”
Shui Miao’s thoughts raced. From the very beginning, he had found it strange—how could the son of the Yuxu Sect’s Immortal Venerable be so easily eliminated? No one would believe such a tale! Now, Shui Miao finally understood: there was a conspiracy at play. But why hadn’t the thousand-year female ghost, Bai Lian, made an appearance?

“Oh no! This is actually a Supreme Treasure! How does he possess a Supreme Treasure? This… this is impossible! Even my father only has one Supreme Treasure. Shui Miao is nothing but an ant—how could he possibly have one? What gives him the right? What exactly is his backing?”
Hua Tianxiong had claimed the Time Artifact by offering his blood and wore it on his body, but he felt no joy. He was trapped by the Supreme Treasure.
He screamed hysterically, shaking his head repeatedly, looking down on Shui Miao with utter contempt.
“You question my authority? Allow me to clarify—I, Shui Miao, stand firm on my loyalty, genuine friendship, and relentless effort. Now, consider you, a so-called celestial being—what merits do you possess beyond your fortunate lineage? What achievements can you claim other than exploiting your father’s legacy to perpetrate wickedness? You’re merely an arrogant offspring of the divine! You even dared to pilfer my sacred artifact—how does that set you apart from a common thief? Today, I shall execute divine justice and utterly annihilate you to avenge my father, Chen Yiren!”
As soon as Shui Miao finished speaking, the entire Evil Dragon Island underwent a drastic change, engulfed in rolling blood energy.
The grand formation within the Shengyuan Ring fully descended, and the surroundings transformed into a cosmic starscape.
“So you’re Chen Yiren’s son! So all of this was premeditated—you want to overthrow our Yuxu Sect! Unfortunately, your plans will never succeed! Haha, Shui Miao, your arrogant father was still killed by me! You think you can kill me? You’re wrong! You will never, ever be able to kill me!

I will make these ten artifacts self-destruct and completely destroy your Supreme Treasure! Oh wait, it’s eleven supreme-grade immortal artifacts—I almost forgot, you just gave me this Time Pearl. Now, all of you, go to hell! Hahaha…”
Hua Tianxiong laughed wildly, thinking it well worth it to destroy one Supreme Treasure with eleven supreme-grade immortal artifacts.
“Hmph! Immortal second generations are indeed foolish.”
Shui Miao, sitting steadily within the formation, also let out a cold laugh. He raised his hand, and a giant black hand materialized above Hua Tianxiong’s head, descending directly toward him. “Hua Tianxiong, you have no idea what kind of formation you’re facing. You have no clue how profound my understanding of formations is. This formation contains over a hundred thousand immortal artifacts—its power far exceeds your imagination. Even if you self-destruct a hundred supreme-grade immortal artifacts, you still won’t destroy this Supreme Treasure! Moreover, you won’t even get the chance to self-destruct!”
*Crack!*
*Boom!*
The giant black hand grabbed Hua Tianxiong’s upper body and crushed it instantly!
This black hand was the combined power of Shui Miao’s immortal energy, soul-devouring force, and the energy of over a hundred thousand immortal artifacts. Not even Hua Tianxiong’s father or the Immortal Emperor could withstand such a terrifying, fatal blow.

Several supreme-grade immortal artifacts were destroyed instantly. And I initially thought he was just a little brat?!”
“Haha! Shui Miao, you’re incredible! Killing a Great Luo Golden Immortal is as easy as crushing an ant!”
“Wuchang Yidao, now it’s your turn to die!”
“You bastard! You injured all of us—we demand blood for blood!”
“Kill him! Boss Shui Miao, we’ll follow you from now on. Please help us kill him!”
The Four Dragon Lords spoke up one after another. Seeing that Shui Miao possessed a Supreme Treasure, they were thrilled.
“Shui Miao, you killed a Great Luo Golden Immortal, offended an Immortal Venerable, and angered the Yuxu Sect. Your doom is imminent. Now, are you really going to help these four evil dragons offend the Underworld as well? I can see you’re a person who distinguishes kindness from enmity. I advise you not to compound your errors. Killing me is a small matter, but offending the entire Underworld will leave you with no place to bury your body!”
Wuchang Yidao suddenly roared at Shui Miao.
“Shui Miao, you must not kill Wuchang Yidao!” Bu Yi hurriedly advised.
Meng Sanniang frowned and said, “Shui Miao, we shouldn’t make too many enemies now. Wuchang Yidao is a fool who only knows how to follow rules—killing him serves no purpose. Why don’t you try to persuade them to reconcile?”

“Bastard! Who do you think you are? The four of us aren’t afraid of you!”
“Kill him, Shui Miao! We’re on the same side—help us kill him!”
“Wuchang Yidao, today either you die or we perish!”
“Shui Miao, if it’s inconvenient, let us resolve this grudge between ourselves.”
Among the Four Dragon Lords, the one who had previously swallowed thirty-six Great Luo Golden Immortals was their leader. He spoke more sincerely, seemingly unwilling to cause trouble for Shui Miao.
Shui Miao’s eyebrows twitched slightly. “Wuchang Yidao, I respect your integrity. But you captured me once. Although I won’t kill you, I won’t let you leave this formation easily either. If you have the ability, defeat them and break the formation to escape. Four Dragon Lords, you originally intended to steal my supreme-grade immortal artifact, didn’t you? Don’t deny it—I heard everything. But you also helped me and protected me, so our grudge is settled. Now, you decide life and death with Wuchang Yidao yourselves. If you win and sincerely wish to follow me, I will gladly accept you and treat you with sincerity. But if Wuchang Yidao kills you, then you can only blame your own lack of skill.”
Shui Miao’s words were clear and unambiguous.

“Shui Miao, you continue to impress me. However, my enemy is Taishang Laojun—and he is your master.”
The thousand-year female ghost Bai Lian suddenly appeared, revealing the truth and stunning everyone with her words.
Shui Miao suddenly smiled sinisterly.
“What?”
Both Bu Yi and Meng San Niang were stunned.
Upon hearing this, the Four Dragon Lords also felt a jolt.
Huatian Xiong and Yichang Yi Dao both turned their gazes toward Shui Miao.
A thick and peculiar radiance rose from around Shui Miao’s body. In an instant, a mighty force of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements descended from the heavens, enveloping the entire E’long Island!
“What in the world is this power!?”
“So powerful! Could it be an Immortal Emperor has arrived!?”
“This is terrifying. Shui Miao, are you an incarnation of the Immortal Emperor?”
“Don’t kill us! We are your allies!”
The Four Dragon Lords panicked first, assuming Shui Miao was an Immortal Emperor’s incarnation.
“Is it… could it really be…?”
Feeling the arrival of this power, Bu Yi suddenly had an idea—Shui Miao must be preparing to activate the Heaven Battle Four Symbols Array to destroy Huatian Xiong. But immediately afterward, Bu Yi sensed a massive surge of Yin spirits descending, and those were unmistakably the aura of the Ten Yin Earth Array.
Indeed, Shui Miao had already transferred all the mighty arrays from the Tianyuan Ring.
“Bad! This is actually a Supreme Treasure! He actually possesses a Supreme Treasure! This… this… this can’t be possible! Even my father only owns a single Supreme Treasure. How can this insignificant little ant, Shui Miao, also have one? On what grounds? How is this possible?”
Huatian Xiong had already performed a blood-binding ritual with the Time Treasure, wearing it on his body. Yet he couldn’t feel any joy, for he was now trapped by the Supreme Treasure.
He screamed hysterically, shaking his head repeatedly, clearly holding Shui Miao in complete contempt.
“You ask me on what grounds? Let me tell you. I, Shui Miao, rely on righteousness, sincerity toward my friends, and my own efforts. But you, you clueless immortal, you’re nothing but someone born into a better family. What else do you have? Other than using your father’s reputation to commit crimes everywhere, what else are you capable of? You’re nothing but a conceited second-generation immortal. You even dared to steal my treasures. What’s the difference between you and a bandit? Today, I, Shui Miao, will uphold justice and completely eliminate you, avenging my father, Chen Yiren!”
As Shui Miao’s words fell, the entire E’long Island trembled violently, and blood qi surged.
The grand formation from the Shengyuan Ring fully descended, and the surroundings transformed abruptly, turning into a cosmic starry sky.
“Hua Tianxiong, you actually weren’t captured? You… you people of the Yuxu Sect, are you playing me?”
Wuchang Yidao’s face was ashen as he glared fiercely at Hua Tianxiong.
But Hua Tianxiong paid him no mind. Instead, he stretched out his finger and offered a drop of blood.
“So it was a scam after all…”
Shui Miao’s thoughts raced. From the very beginning, he had found it strange—how could the son of the revered Yuxu Sect’s Immortal Venerable be so easily defeated? No one would believe such a tale! Now, Shui Miao finally understood: there was a deeper conspiracy at play. But why hadn’t the thousand-year female ghost, Bai Lian, made an appearance?
Both Bu Yi and Meng Sanniang were filled with regret, resentful of Shui Miao’s carelessness in handing over a supreme-grade immortal artifact to someone else.
“You two, did you really think I hadn’t considered the possibility that this treasure might be stolen from the very beginning?”
Shui Miao suddenly let out a sinister laugh.
“What?”
Both Bu Yi and Meng Sanniang were taken aback.
Hearing this, the Four Dragon Lords also froze.

“Wait, could it be…?”
Sensing the descent of this power, Bu Yi suddenly had a realization: Shui Miao must be planning to use the Tiandou Sixiang Formation to kill Hua Tianxiong! But immediately afterward, Bu Yi also sensed the arrival of a vast Yin spirit energy—the aura of the Shiyin Kunyuan Formation.
Indeed, Shui Miao had already transferred all the grand formations from the Tianyuan Ring.
“Oh no! This is actually a supreme treasure! How could he possibly possess a supreme treasure?! My father only has one supreme treasure! Shui Miao is nothing but an ant—how does he have a supreme treasure? What gives him the right? What right does he have?!”
Hua Tianxiong had claimed the Time Pearl by offering his blood, equipping it on himself, but he felt no joy. He was trapped by the supreme treasure.
He screamed hysterically, shaking his head repeatedly, looking down on Shui Miao with utter contempt.
“You ask me what right I have? Let me tell you—I, Shui Miao, rely on loyalty, sincerity toward friends, and my own hard work. In contrast, you, a so-called immortal, what do you have aside from being born into a good family? What abilities do you possess aside from leveraging your father’s reputation to commit evil deeds? You’re nothing but a self-righteous immortal second generation! You even stole my treasure—how are you any different from a bandit? Today, I will act on heaven’s behalf and completely eradicate you to avenge my father, Chen Yiren!”
As soon as Shui Miao finished speaking, the entire Evil Dragon Island underwent a drastic change, engulfed in rolling waves of blood energy.
The grand formation within the Shengyuan Ring fully descended, and the surroundings transformed into a cosmic starscape.
“So you’re Chen Yiren’s son! So this was all part of your premeditated plan to overthrow our Yuxu Sect! Unfortunately, your scheme will never succeed! Haha, Shui Miao, your arrogant father was still killed by me! You think you can kill me? You’re wrong! You will never, ever be able to kill me! I have a life talisman in the Immortal Realm—I will be reborn and become stronger! But you won’t have that chance!

I almost forgot, I also have this Time Pearl you just gave me! Now, all of you, go to hell! Hahahaha…”
Hua Tianxiong laughed maniacally. Destroying one supreme treasure with eleven supreme-grade immortal artifacts—it was worth it.
“Hmph! Immortal second generations are indeed foolish.”
Shui Miao, sitting steadily within the formation, also let out a cold laugh. He raised his hand, and a giant black hand materialized above Hua Tianxiong’s head, descending directly toward him. “Hua Tianxiong, you have no idea what kind of formation you’re up against.

Wuchang Yidao suddenly roared at Shui Miao.
“Shui Miao, you must not kill Wuchang Yidao!” Bu Yi hurriedly advised.
Meng Sanniang frowned and said, “Shui Miao, we shouldn’t make too many enemies now! Wuchang Yidao is just a fool who follows rules blindly. Killing him serves no purpose. Why don’t you try to persuade them to reconcile?”
“Reconcile?” Wuchang Yidao sneered. “Meng Sanniang, you’re too naive! I am the top hunter of the Netherworld’s Law Enforcement Division! It is my duty to ensure these four evil dragons die today! Unless you kill me, I will complete my mission and bring their heads back to report!”
“Bastard! Who do you think you are?! The four of us aren’t afraid of you!”
“Kill him, Shui Miao! We’re on the same side—help us kill him!”
“Wuchang Yidao, today only one of us will walk away alive!”
“Shui Miao, if it’s inconvenient, let us settle this grudge ourselves.”
Among the Four Dragon Lords, the one who had previously swallowed thirty-six Great Luo Golden Immortals was their leader. He spoke more sincerely, seemingly unwilling to cause trouble for Shui Miao.
Shui Miao’s eyebrows flickered slightly. “Wuchang Yidao, I respect your character. However, you once captured me. Although I won’t take your life, I won’t let you leave this formation without a challenge. If you possess the capability, defeat them and break the formation to escape. Four Dragon Lords, your initial intention was to steal my supreme-grade immortal artifacts, wasn’t it? Don’t deny it—I overheard everything. Yet, you also aided and protected me, so our grudge is settled. Now, it’s up to you to determine life and death with Wuchang Yidao. If you emerge victorious and sincerely wish to follow me, I will certainly accept you and treat you with genuine respect. But if Wuchang Yidao kills you, then you can only blame your own lack of skill.”
Shui Miao’s words were clear and unambiguous.
Hearing this, the Four Dragon Lords had no other choice and immediately engaged Wuchang Yidao in battle.

Wuchang Yidao’s face was ashen as he glared fiercely at Hua Tianxiong.
But Hua Tianxiong paid him no mind at all. Instead, he stretched out his finger and offered a drop of blood.
“So it was a scam after all…”
Shui Miao’s thoughts raced. From the very beginning, he had found it strange—how could the son of the Yuxu Sect’s Immortal Venerable be so easily eliminated? No one would believe that! Now, Shui Miao finally understood: there was a conspiracy behind it all. But why hadn’t the thousand-year female ghost Bai Lian appeared?
Both Bu Yi and Meng Sanniang were filled with regret, resenting Shui Miao for his carelessness in handing over a supreme-grade immortal artifact to someone else.
“Both of you, did you really think I hadn’t considered from the start that this treasure might be snatched away?”
Shui Miao suddenly let out a sinister laugh.
“What?”
Both Bu Yi and Meng Sanniang were taken aback.
Hearing this, the Four Dragon Lords also froze.
Hua Tianxiong and Wuchang Yidao both turned to look at Shui Miao.
Around Shui Miao’s body, thick and unusual rays of light began to rise. Massive forces of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements instantly descended from the sky, enveloping the entire Evil Dragon Island!
“What… what kind of power is this?!”
“So powerful! Could it be that an Immortal Emperor has arrived?!”
“This is terrifying! Shui Miao, are you… an incarnation of the Immortal Emperor?”
“Don’t kill us! We are your allies!”
The Four Dragon Lords were the first to panic, convinced that Shui Miao was the incarnation of an Immortal Emperor.
“Wait, could it be…?”
Sensing the descent of this power, Bu Yi suddenly had a thought—Shui Miao must be planning to use the Tiandou Sixiang Formation to kill Hua Tianxiong! But immediately afterward, Bu Yi also sensed the arrival of a massive Yin energy, the aura of the Shiyin Kunyuan Formation.
Indeed, Shui Miao had already transferred all the grand formations from the Tianyuan Ring.
“Oh no! This is actually a supreme treasure! How does he possess a supreme treasure? Th-this… how is this possible? Even my father only has one supreme treasure. Shui Miao is nothing but an ant—how could he have a supreme treasure? By what right? By what right does he have it?!”
Hua Tianxiong had claimed the Time Artifact by offering his blood and donned it, but he couldn’t feel any joy because he was trapped by the supreme treasure.
He screamed hysterically, shaking his head repeatedly, looking down on Shui Miao with utter contempt.
“You ask me by what right? Let me tell you—I, Shui Miao, rely on loyalty, sincerity toward friends, and my own hard work. In contrast, you, a so-called immortal, what do you have aside from being born into a better family? What else can you boast about? Aside from riding on your father’s reputation and committing evil deeds everywhere, what abilities do you truly possess? You’re nothing but a self-righteous immortal second generation! And you even dared to steal my artifact—how are you any different from a bandit? As for an immortal second generation like you, today I will execute heaven’s will and utterly destroy you, to avenge my father, Chen Yiren!”
As soon as Shui Miao’s words fell, the entire Evil Dragon Island underwent a drastic change, engulfed in rolling blood energy.
The grand formation within the Shengyuan Ring fully descended, and the surroundings transformed into a cosmic starscape.
“So you’re Chen Yiren’s son! So all of this was premeditated—you aimed to overthrow our Yuxu Sect! Unfortunately, your plans will never succeed! Haha, Shui Miao, your arrogant father was still slain by me! You foolish brat, do you really think you can kill me? You’re wrong! You will never, ever be able to kill me! I have a life talisman in the Immortal Realm—I will be reborn and become stronger. But you… you have no chance! Because I possess ten supreme-grade immortal artifacts, and I will make them self-destruct, completely destroying your supreme treasure… Oh, wait, it’s eleven supreme-grade immortal artifacts. I almost forgot—I also have this Time Pearl you just gave me. Now, all of you, go die! Hahahaha…”
Hua Tianxiong laughed wildly, thinking it was worth destroying one supreme treasure with eleven supreme-grade immortal artifacts.
“Hmph! Immortal second generations are indeed foolish.”
Shui Miao, sitting steadily within the formation, also let out a cold laugh. He raised his hand, and a giant black hand materialized above Hua Tianxiong’s head, descending to crush him. “Hua Tianxiong, you have no idea what kind of formation you’re facing. You have no clue how profound my understanding of formations is. This formation contains over a hundred thousand immortal artifacts—its power far exceeds your imagination. Even if you self-destruct a hundred supreme-grade immortal artifacts, you still won’t destroy this supreme treasure! Moreover, you won’t even get the chance to self-destruct!”
“Crack!”
“Boom!”
The giant black hand crushed Hua Tianxiong’s upper body in one grasp!
This black hand was the combined power of Shui Miao’s immortal energy, soul-devouring force, and the energy of over a hundred thousand immortal artifacts. Not to mention Hua Tianxiong—even if his father or an Immortal Emperor were here, they would never withstand this terrifying, fatal strike.
Under the effect of the soul-devouring force, Hua Tianxiong’s memories, immortal power, and everything else were corroded and refined.
“He killed a Great Luo Golden Immortal—the son of an Immortal Venerable!” Wuchang Yidao exclaimed in shock, stepping back repeatedly. “This is unbelievable! Too formidable! Hua Tianxiong was a peak-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, just one step away from becoming an Immortal Venerable, and he was killed in one strike! Several supreme-grade immortal artifacts were destroyed instantly. To think I initially believed he was just a mere child!”
“Haha! Shui Miao, you’re incredible! Killing a Great Luo Golden Immortal is as easy as crushing an ant!”
“Wuchang Yidao, now you’re done for!”
“You bastard, you injured all of us! We’ll make you pay with your blood!”
“Kill him! Boss Shui Miao, we’ll follow you from now on. Please help us kill him!”
The Four Dragon Lords spoke up one after another. Seeing that Shui Miao possessed a supreme treasure, they grew excited.
“Shui Miao, you have slain a Great Luo Golden Immortal, provoked an Immortal Venerable, and incited the wrath of the Yuxu Sect. Your downfall is inevitable. Now, are you truly going to assist these four malevolent dragons and also incur the enmity of the Netherworld? I perceive you as someone who clearly discerns gratitude from grievance. I urge you not to compound your mistakes. Killing me is trivial, but offending the entire Netherworld will guarantee you a death without a resting place!”
Wuchang Yidao suddenly roared at Shui Miao.
“Shui Miao, you must not kill Wuchang Yidao!” Bu Yi hurriedly advised.
Meng Sanniang frowned and said, “Shui Miao, now is not the time to make more enemies. Wuchang Yidao is a fool who only follows rules—killing him serves no purpose. How about you try to persuade them to reconcile?”
“Reconcile?”
Wuchang Yidao sneered, “Meng Sanniang, you’re too naive. I am the top hunter of the Netherworld’s Law Enforcement Division. It is my duty to ensure these four evil dragons die today. Unless you kill me, I will complete my mission and bring their heads back to report.”
“Bastard! Who do you think you are? The four of us aren’t afraid of you!”
“Kill him, Shui Miao! We’re on the same side—help us kill him!”
“Wuchang Yidao, today either you die or we perish!”
“Shui Miao, if it’s inconvenient, let us resolve our grievances on our own.”
Among the Four Dragon Lords, the one who had previously devoured thirty-six Great Luo Golden Immortals—the leader of the four—spoke more sincerely, seemingly unwilling to cause trouble for Shui Miao.
Shui Miao’s eyebrows quivered faintly. “Wuchang Yidao, I admire your integrity, but you took me captive. While I won’t take your life, I won’t let you exit the formation without a challenge. If you possess the skill, overcome them and dismantle the formation to depart. As for the Four Dragon Lords, your initial intent was to seize my supreme-grade immortal artifact, wasn’t it? Don’t deny it—I overheard everything. Yet, you also aided and shielded me, so our debts are settled. Now, resolve your life-and-death duel with Wuchang Yidao on your own. Should you triumph and genuinely desire to serve me, I will undoubtedly accept you and treat you with sincerity. However, if Wuchang Yidao prevails and you fall, then you can only attribute it to your own inadequacy.”
Shui Miao’s words were clear and unambiguous.
Hearing this, the Four Dragon Lords had no other choice and immediately engaged in battle with Wuchang Yidao.
Shui Miao had no interest in watching their fight. Instead, he turned to look at an empty spot a hundred meters behind him, sighed, and smiled faintly. “Senior Bai Lian, the thousand-year female ghost, isn’t it time for you to show yourself? I’m very curious about what earth-shattering conspiracy you’re still hiding. If your enemy is also the Yuxu Sect, then please speak up. Shall we discuss it together?”
“Shui Miao, you continue to impress me. However, my enemy is Taishang Laojun—and he is your master.”
The thousand-year female ghost Bai Lian suddenly appeared, revealing the truth and stunning everyone with her words.
“Hmph! Just as expected, second-generation immortals are indeed foolish.”
Seated calmly within the formation, Shui Miao also coldly chuckled. He raised his hand, and immediately a giant black hand appeared above Huatian Xiong, directly plunging down toward his head.
“Hua Tianxiong, you actually weren’t captured? You… you people of the Yuxu Sect, are you playing me?”
Wuchang Yidao’s face was ashen as he glared fiercely at Hua Tianxiong.
But Hua Tianxiong paid him no mind at all. Instead, he stretched out his finger and offered a drop of blood.
“So it was all a scam after all…”
Shui Miao’s thoughts raced. From the very beginning, he had found it strange—how could the son of the Yuxu Sect’s Immortal Venerable be so easily defeated? No one would believe such a story! Now, Shui Miao finally understood: there was a conspiracy behind it all. But why hadn’t the thousand-year female ghost, Bai Lian, made an appearance?
Both Bu Yi and Meng Sanniang were filled with regret, resentful of Shui Miao’s carelessness in handing over a supreme-grade immortal artifact to someone else.
“Both of you, did you really think I hadn’t considered the possibility that this treasure might be snatched away from the start?”
Shui Miao suddenly let out a sinister laugh.
“What?”
Both Bu Yi and Meng Sanniang were taken aback.
Hearing this, the Four Dragon Lords were also stunned.
Hua Tianxiong and Wuchang Yidao both turned to look at Shui Miao.
Around Shui Miao’s body, thick and unusual rays of light began to rise. Massive forces of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements instantly descended from the sky, enveloping the entire Evil Dragon Island!
“What… what kind of power is this?!”
“It’s so strong! Could it be that the Immortal Emperor has arrived?!”
“This is terrifying! Shui Miao, are you… are you an incarnation of the Immortal Emperor?”
“Don’t kill us! We are your allies!”
The Four Dragon Lords were the first to panic, convinced that Shui Miao was an incarnation of the Immortal Emperor.
“Wait, could it be…”
Sensing the descent of this power, Bu Yi suddenly had a realization—Shui Miao must be planning to use the Tiandou Sixiang Formation to kill Hua Tianxiong! But immediately after, Bu Yi also sensed the arrival of a massive Yin spirit energy, which carried the aura of the Shiyin Kunyuan Formation.
Indeed, Shui Miao had already transferred all the massive formations from the Tianyuan Ring.
“Oh no! This is actually a Supreme Treasure! How does he have a Supreme Treasure in his hands? Th-this… how is this possible? Even my father only has one Supreme Treasure! Shui Miao is nothing but an ant—how could he possibly possess a Supreme Treasure? What gives him the right? What exactly gives him the right?!”
Hua Tianxiong had dripped his blood onto the Time Artifact, claiming ownership and wearing it, but he couldn’t feel any joy because he was trapped by the Supreme Treasure.
He screamed hysterically, shaking his head repeatedly, looking down on Shui Miao with utter contempt.
“You ask me what gives me the right? Let me tell you—I, Shui Miao, rely on loyalty, sincerity toward friends, and my own hard work. In contrast, you, a so-called immortal, what do you have besides a privileged birth? What else do you possess? Aside from relying on your father’s reputation to commit evil deeds, what abilities do you really have? You’re nothing but a self-righteous immortal second generation! You even stole my artifact—how are you any different from a bandit? As an immortal second generation like you, today I will execute heaven’s will, completely annihilate you, and avenge my father, Chen Yiren!”
As soon as Shui Miao’s words fell, the entire Evil Dragon Island underwent a drastic change, engulfed in rolling blood energy.
The grand formation within the Shengyuan Ring fully descended, and the surroundings transformed into a cosmic starscape.
“So you’re Chen Yiren’s son! So all of this was premeditated—you want to overthrow our Yuxu Sect! Unfortunately, your plans will never succeed!

Now, all of you, go die! Hahahaha…”
Hua Tianxiong laughed wildly, thinking it was worth using eleven supreme-grade immortal artifacts to destroy one Supreme Treasure.

He even destroyed several supreme-grade immortal artifacts in an instant! And I actually thought he was just a little brat?!”
“Haha! Shui Miao, you’re amazing! Killing a Great Luo Golden Immortal is as easy as squashing an ant!”
“Wuchang Yidao, now you’re done for!”
“You bastard, you injured all of us! We’ll make you pay with your blood!”
“Kill him! Boss Shui Miao, we’ll follow you from now on! Please help us kill him!”
The Four Dragon Lords spoke up one after another. Seeing that Shui Miao possessed a Supreme Treasure, they grew excited.
“Shui Miao, you have slain a Great Luo Golden Immortal, provoked an Immortal Venerable, and enraged the Yuxu Sect—your downfall is inevitable. Are you truly going to assist these four malevolent dragons and further antagonize the Netherworld? I perceive you as someone who clearly discerns gratitude from grievance. I urge you not to compound your errors. Killing me is trivial, but if you provoke the entire Netherworld, you will undoubtedly meet a dire end with no place for burial!”
Wuchang Yidao suddenly roared at Shui Miao.
“Shui Miao, you can’t kill this Wuchang Yidao!” Bu Yi hurriedly advised.
Meng Sanniang frowned and said, “Shui Miao, we shouldn’t make too many enemies right now. This Wuchang Yidao is a fool who only knows how to follow rules—killing him serves no purpose. How about you try to mediate and help them reconcile?”
“Reconcile?” Wuchang Yidao sneered. “Meng Sanniang, you’re too naive. I am the top hunter of the Netherworld’s Law Enforcement Division. It’s my duty—these four evil dragons must die today. Unless you kill me, I will complete my mission and bring their heads back to report.”
“Bastard! Who do you think you are? The four of us aren’t afraid of you!”

Among the Four Dragon Lords, the one who had previously swallowed thirty-six Great Luo Golden Immortals—the leader of the Four Dragon Lords—spoke more sincerely, as if he didn’t want to cause trouble for Shui Miao.
Shui Miao’s eyebrows flickered slightly. “Wuchang Yidao, I admire your integrity, but you captured me. Though I won’t take your life, I won’t let you leave this formation unscathed either. If you have the skill, defeat them and break the formation to escape. Four Dragon Lords, you initially intended to steal my supreme-grade immortal artifact, didn’t you? Don’t deny it—I heard it all. But you also aided and protected me, so our grievances are settled. Now, you must face Wuchang Yidao in a battle of life and death. If you emerge victorious and sincerely wish to follow me, I will certainly accept you and treat you with genuine respect. But if Wuchang Yidao kills you, then you can only blame your own lack of prowess.”
Shui Miao’s words were clear and unambiguous.
Hearing this, the Four Dragon Lords had no other choice and immediately engaged in a life-and-death battle with Wuchang Yidao.
Shui Miao had no interest in watching their fight. Instead, he turned to look at an empty space a hundred meters behind him, sighed, and smiled faintly. “Senior Bai Lian, the thousand-year female ghost, isn’t it time for you to show yourself?

“Shui Miao, you continue to impress me. However, my enemy is Taishang Laojun—and he is your master.”
The thousand-year female ghost Bai Lian suddenly appeared, revealing the truth and stunning everyone with her words.
“Crack!”
“Boom!”
With one strike, the black hand crushed the upper half of Huatian Xiong’s body!
This black hand was the culmination of Shui Miao’s entire immortal energy, Soul Devouring Power, 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.
Huatian Xiong’s memories, immortal energy, and everything else were corroded and refined away by the Soul Devouring Power.
“Hua Tianxiong, you actually weren’t captured? You… you people of the Yuxu Sect, are you playing me?”
Wuchang Yidao’s face turned ashen as he glared fiercely at Hua Tianxiong.

“Oh no! This is actually a supreme treasure! How does he possess a supreme treasure? This… this is impossible! Even my father only has one supreme treasure. Shui Miao is nothing but an ant—how could he possibly have one? What gives him the right? What exactly is his backing?”
Hua Tianxiong had claimed the Time Pearl by offering his blood, equipping it on himself, but he couldn’t feel any joy because he was trapped by the supreme treasure.
He screamed hysterically, shaking his head repeatedly, looking down on Shui Miao with utter contempt.
“You question what grants me this authority? Allow me to enlighten you—I, Shui Miao, stand on the pillars of loyalty, genuine friendship, and my relentless toil. In stark contrast, you, who parade as an immortal, what do you truly possess beyond the privilege of your birth? What feats can you claim other than leveraging your father’s name to perpetrate wickedness? You are merely an arrogant scion of the immortal lineage! You even dared to pilfer my treasure—how does that set you apart from a common thief? Today, I shall execute divine justice and utterly annihilate you, to avenge my father, Chen Yiren!”
As soon as Shui Miao finished speaking, the entire Evil Dragon Island underwent a drastic change, engulfed in rolling blood energy.
The grand formation within the Shengyuan Ring fully descended, and the surroundings transformed into a cosmic starscape.
“So you’re Chen Yiren’s son! So all of this was premeditated—you want to overthrow our Yuxu Sect! Unfortunately, your plans will never succeed! Haha, Shui Miao, your arrogant father was still killed by me! You think you can kill me? You’re wrong! You will never, ever be able to kill me!

Hua Tianxiong laughed wildly, thinking it was worth destroying eleven supreme-grade immortal artifacts to ruin one supreme treasure.
“Hmph! Immortal second generations are indeed foolish.”
Shui Miao, sitting steadily within the formation, also let out a cold laugh. He raised his hand, and a giant black hand materialized above Hua Tianxiong’s head, descending directly toward him. “Hua Tianxiong, you have no idea what kind of formation you’re facing. You have no clue how deeply I comprehend formations. This formation contains over a hundred thousand immortal artifacts—its power far exceeds your imagination. Even if you self-destruct a hundred supreme-grade immortal artifacts, you still won’t be able to destroy this supreme treasure! Moreover, you won’t even get the chance to self-destruct!”
*Crack!*

Several supreme-grade immortal artifacts were destroyed instantly. To think I initially believed he was just a little brat!”
“Haha! Shui Miao, you’re amazing! Killing a Great Luo Golden Immortal is as easy as crushing an ant!”
“Wuchang Yidao, now it’s your turn to die!”
“You bastard! You injured all of us—we will make you pay with blood!”
“Kill him! Boss Shui Miao, we will follow you from now on. Please help us kill him!”
The Four Dragon Lords spoke up one after another. Seeing that Shui Miao possessed a supreme treasure, they grew excited.
“Shui Miao, you killed a Great Luo Golden Immortal, offended an Immortal Venerable, and angered the Yuxu Sect. Your doom is imminent. Now, are you really going to help these four evil dragons offend the Netherworld as well? I can see you’re a person who distinguishes kindness from enmity. I advise you not to compound your errors. Killing me is a small matter, but offending the entire Netherworld will leave you with no place to bury your body!”
Wuchang Yidao suddenly roared at Shui Miao.
“Shui Miao, you must not kill Wuchang Yidao!” Bu Yi hurriedly advised.
Meng Sanniang frowned and said, “Shui Miao, we shouldn’t make too many enemies now. Wuchang Yidao is a fool who only knows how to follow rules—killing him serves no purpose. Why don’t you try to persuade them to reconcile?”
“Reconcile?” Wuchang Yidao sneered. “Meng Sanniang, you’re too naive. I am the top hunter of the Netherworld’s Law Enforcement Division. It is my duty to ensure these four evil dragons die today. Unless you kill me, I will complete my mission and bring their heads back to report.”
“Bastard! Who do you think you are? The four of us aren’t afraid of you!”
“Kill him, Shui Miao! We’re on the same side—help us kill him!”
“Wuchang Yidao, today either you die or we perish!”
“Shui Miao, if it’s inconvenient, let us resolve this grudge between ourselves.”
Among the Four Dragon Lords, the one who had previously swallowed thirty-six Great Luo Golden Immortals—the leader of the Four Dragon Lords—spoke more sincerely, as though he didn’t want to cause trouble for Shui Miao.
Shui Miao’s eyebrows twitched slightly. “Wuchang Yidao, I respect your integrity, but you captured me. Although I won’t kill you, I won’t let you leave this formation easily either. If you have the ability, defeat them and break the formation to escape. Four Dragon Lords, you originally intended to steal my supreme-grade immortal artifacts, didn’t you? Don’t deny it—I heard everything. But you also helped me and protected me, so our grudge is settled. Now, you decide life and death with Wuchang Yidao yourselves. If you win and sincerely wish to follow me, I will certainly take you in and treat you with sincerity. But if Wuchang Yidao kills you, then you can only blame your own lack of skill.”
Shui Miao’s words were clear and unambiguous.
Hearing this, the Four Dragon Lords had no other choice and immediately engaged Wuchang Yidao in battle.

“Shui Miao, you continue to impress me. However, my enemy is Taishang Laojun—and he is your master.”
The thousand-year female ghost Bai Lian suddenly appeared, revealing the truth and stunning everyone with her words.
“Haha! Shui Miao, you’re incredible! Killing a Great Immortal Golden Immortal is like squishing an ant!”
“Yichang Yi Dao, now see if you can still escape death!”
“Damn bastard! You injured all of us! We demand blood for blood!”
“Kill him! Boss Shui Miao, we’ll follow you from now on! Please help us kill him!”
The Four Dragon Lords all spoke up, overjoyed at seeing Shui Miao possess a Supreme Treasure.
“Shui Miao, by killing a Great Immortal Golden Immortal, you’ve incurred the wrath of the Immortal Lord and the Jade Void 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 know you’re a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and vengeance. I advise you not to compound your mistakes. Killing me is a small matter, but offending the entire Underworld will leave you with no place to bury your corpse!”
Yichang Yi Dao suddenly roared at Shui Miao.
“Shui Miao, you mustn’t kill Yichang Yi Dao!” Bu Yi quickly advised.
Meng San Niang frowned and said, “Shui Miao, we shouldn’t make too many enemies now. Yichang Yi Dao is just a rigid rule-follower. Killing him serves no purpose. Why don’t you try to mediate and persuade them to reconcile?”
“Reconcile?”
Yichang Yi Dao snorted in disdain. “Meng San Niang, you’re too naive. I am the top hunter of the Underworld’s Bureau of Law. My duty demands that these four evil dragons must die today. Unless you kill me, otherwise I will definitely complete my mission and bring back their heads as proof.”
“Damn! Who do you think you are! We four won’t be intimidated by you!”
“Kill him, Shui Miao! We’re on the same side! Help us kill him!”
“Yichang Yi Dao, today it’s either you die or I live!”
“Shui Miao, if it’s inconvenient for you, let us handle this grudge ourselves.”
Among the Four Dragon Lords, the one who had previously swallowed thirty-six Great Immortal Golden Immortals was the leader, and his tone was more sincere. He seemed unwilling to trouble Shui Miao.
“Hua Tianxiong, you actually weren’t captured? You… you people of the Jade Void Sect, are you playing me?”
Wuchang Yidao’s face was ashen as he glared fiercely at Hua Tianxiong.
But Hua Tianxiong paid him no mind. Instead, he stretched out his finger and offered a drop of blood.
“So it was a scam after all…”
Shui Miao’s thoughts raced. From the very beginning, he had found it strange—how could the son of the Jade Void Sect’s Immortal Venerable be so easily eliminated? No one would believe such a tale! Now, Shui Miao finally understood: there was a conspiracy at play. But why hadn’t the thousand-year female ghost, Bai Lian, made an appearance?
Both Bu Yi and Meng Sanniang were filled with regret, resentful of Shui Miao’s carelessness in handing over a supreme-grade immortal artifact to someone else.
“Both of you, did you really think I hadn’t considered the possibility that this treasure might be snatched away from the start?”

The Four Dragon Lords were the first to panic, convinced that Shui Miao was an incarnation of the Immortal Emperor.
“Could it be…?”
Sensing the descent of this power, Bu Yi suddenly had a realization—Shui Miao must be planning to use the Heavenly Dipper Four Phases Array to kill Hua Tianxiong! But immediately after, Bu Yi also sensed the arrival of a massive Yin spirit energy, which carried the aura of the Ten Yin Kunyuan Array.
Indeed, Shui Miao had already transferred all the grand arrays from the Tianyuan Ring.
“Oh no! This is actually a supreme treasure! How could he possibly possess a supreme treasure?! Th-this… this is impossible! Even my father only has one supreme treasure. Shui Miao is nothing but an ant—how could he have a supreme treasure? What gives him the right? What exactly qualifies him?!”
Hua Tianxiong had blood-bound the Time Treasure Pearl and donned it, but he couldn’t feel any joy because he was trapped by the supreme treasure.
He screamed hysterically, shaking his head repeatedly, looking down on Shui Miao with utter contempt.
“You ask me what qualifies me? Let me tell you—I, Shui Miao, qualify through loyalty, sincerity toward friends, and my own hard work. In contrast, you, a so-called immortal, what do you have aside from being born into a better family? What abilities do you possess beyond riding on your father’s coattails and committing evil deeds everywhere? You’re nothing but a self-righteous immortal second generation! You even stole my treasure—how are you any different from a bandit? Today, I will execute heaven’s will and utterly destroy you, avenging my father, Chen Yiren!”
As soon as Shui Miao finished speaking, the entire Evil Dragon Island underwent a drastic change, engulfed in rolling blood energy.
The grand array within the Shengyuan Ring fully descended, and the surroundings transformed into a cosmic starscape.
“So you’re Chen Yiren’s son! So all of this was premeditated—you aimed to overthrow our Jade Void Sect! Unfortunately, your plans will never succeed! Haha, Shui Miao, your arrogant father was still slain by me! You think you can kill me? You’re wrong! You will never, ever be able to kill me! I have a life talisman in the Immortal Realm—I will be reborn and become stronger. But you… you have no chance! Because I possess ten supreme-grade immortal artifacts, and I will make them self-destruct, completely destroying your supreme treasure… Oh, wait—eleven supreme-grade immortal artifacts! I almost forgot, I also have this Time Pearl you just gave me. Now, all of you—die! Hahahaha…”
Hua Tianxiong laughed wildly, thinking it well worth it to destroy one supreme treasure with eleven supreme-grade immortal artifacts.
“Hmph! Immortal second generations are indeed foolish.”
Shui Miao, sitting steadily within the array, also let out a cold laugh. He raised his hand, and a giant black hand materialized above Hua Tianxiong’s head, descending to crush him. “Hua Tianxiong, you have no idea what kind of array you’re facing. You have no clue how profound my understanding of arrays is. This array contains over a hundred thousand immortal artifacts—its power far exceeds your imagination. Even if you self-destruct a hundred supreme-grade immortal artifacts, you still won’t destroy this supreme treasure! Moreover, you won’t even get the chance to self-destruct!”
*Crack!*
*Boom!*
The giant black hand crushed Hua Tianxiong’s upper body in one grasp!
This black hand was the combined force of Shui Miao’s immortal power, soul-devouring energy, and the power of over a hundred thousand immortal artifacts. Not even Hua Tianxiong’s father or an Immortal Emperor could withstand such a terrifying, fatal blow.
Under the effect of the soul-devouring energy, Hua Tianxiong’s memories, immortal power, and everything else were corroded and refined.
“He killed a Golden Immortal—the son of an Immortal Venerable!” Wuchang Yidao exclaimed in shock, stepping back repeatedly. “This is unbelievable! Too powerful! Hua Tianxiong was a peak Golden Immortal, just one step away from becoming an Immortal Venerable, and he was killed in one strike! Several supreme-grade immortal artifacts were destroyed instantly. To think I initially believed he was just a mere child!”
“Haha! Shui Miao, you’re incredible! Killing a Golden Immortal is as easy as crushing an ant!”
“Wuchang Yidao, now it’s your turn to die!”
“You bastard! You injured all of us—we’ll make you pay with blood!”
“Kill him! Boss Shui Miao, we’ll follow you from now on. Please help us kill him!”
The Four Dragon Lords spoke up one after another. Seeing that Shui Miao possessed a supreme treasure, they grew excited.
“Shui Miao, you killed a Golden Immortal, offended an Immortal Venerable, and angered the Jade Void Sect. Your doom is imminent. Now, are you really going to help these four evil dragons offend the Netherworld as well? I can see you’re a person who distinguishes kindness from enmity. I advise you not to compound your errors. Killing me is a small matter, but offending the entire Netherworld will leave you with no place to bury your body!”
Wuchang Yidao suddenly roared at Shui Miao.
“Shui Miao, you can’t kill Wuchang Yidao!” Bu Yi hurriedly advised.
Meng Sanniang frowned and said, “Shui Miao, we shouldn’t make too many enemies now. Wuchang Yidao is a fool who only knows how to follow rules—killing him serves no purpose. Why don’t you try to persuade them to reconcile?”
“Reconcile?” Wuchang Yidao sneered. “Meng Sanniang, you’re too naive. I am the top hunter of the Netherworld’s Law Enforcement Division. It’s my duty to ensure these four evil dragons die today. Unless you kill me, I will complete my mission and bring their heads back to report.”
“Bastard! Who do you think you are? The four of us aren’t afraid of you!”
“Kill him, Shui Miao! We’re in this together—help us kill him!”
“Wuchang Yidao, today only one of us will walk away alive!”
“Shui Miao, if it’s inconvenient, let us resolve our grievances on our own.”
Among the Four Dragon Lords, the one who had previously devoured thirty-six Golden Immortals was their leader. He spoke more sincerely, seemingly unwilling to cause trouble for Shui Miao.
Shui Miao’s eyebrows twitched slightly. “Wuchang Yidao, I respect your character. However, you once captured me. While I won’t kill you, I won’t let you leave this array easily either. If you have the ability, defeat them and break the array to escape. Four Dragon Lords, you originally intended to steal my supreme-grade immortal artifacts, didn’t you? Don’t deny it—I heard everything. But you also helped and protected me, so our grievances are settled. Now, settle your life-and-death battle with Wuchang Yidao yourselves. If you win and sincerely wish to follow me, I will certainly take you in and treat you with sincerity. But if Wuchang Yidao kills you, then you can only blame your own lack of skill.”
Shui Miao’s words were clear and unambiguous.
Hearing this, the Four Dragon Lords had no other choice and immediately engaged Wuchang Yidao in battle.
Shui Miao had no interest in watching their fight. Instead, he turned to an empty spot a hundred meters behind him, sighed, and smiled faintly. “Senior Bai Lian, the thousand-year female ghost, isn’t it time for you to show yourself? I’m very curious about what earth-shattering conspiracy you’re still hiding. If your enemy is also the Jade Void Sect, please speak up. Shall we discuss it together?”
“Shui Miao, you continue to impress me. However, my enemy is Taishang Laojun—and he is your master.”
The thousand-year female ghost Bai Lian suddenly appeared, revealing the truth and stunning everyone with her words.
Shui Miao’s words were clear and firm.
After hearing this, the Four Dragon Lords had no choice but to immediately engage Yichang 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 Bai Lian, 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 be hiding. If your enemy is also the Jade Void Sect, please speak out. Let’s discuss together how to deal with them.”
“Shui Miao, you’ve truly impressed me. However, my enemy is Laozi, the Supreme Elder. And he is your master.”
Suddenly, the thousand-year-old female ghost Bai Lian appeared, revealing a shocking truth that stunned heaven and earth.
