CHAPTER 126: CHAPTER 126: THE KILLING BEGINS, SEARCHING FOR MEMORIES

"How is this possible?"

"A cultivator at the Seventh layer of the Divine Bridge Realm actually made two Nirvana Elders cough up blood with a single sword strike? Am I seeing things?"

"They’re a Major Realm and six or seven minor realms apart! How did those two... pull that off?"

Upon regaining their senses, the disciples of the Shen Heng Sect began discussing animatedly, unable to hide their shock.

The two Nirvana Elders retreated rapidly by dozens of feet, wiping the blood from their lips.

Then, they stared at the young man and woman opposite them, their faces etched with shock.

What in the world just happened? Why did our cultivation realms suddenly plummet to the First Level of the Nirvana Realm at that moment? Even if our realms had fallen, we are still mighty Nirvana Realm cultivators! Yet we couldn’t even block a single sword strike imbued with such vast power. This is simply too unbelievable. The more we think about it, the more terrifying it becomes.

"Elders, what happened just now?" Ren Woxing asked with an indifferent expression, his hands clasped behind his back.

These two Elders, under the watchful eyes of all, had been forced to cough up blood by two young Divine Bridge Realm cultivators. This was a massive disgrace to the Shen Heng Sect.

It made him, the Sect Master, lose face as well.

The two Nirvana Realm Elders looked at each other, lingering fear in their eyes.

One of the Elders took a deep breath, a terrified expression on his face as he transmitted his voice, "Sect Master, the moment we moved, our cultivation bases shockingly plummeted to the First Level of the Nirvana Realm!"

"They did?"

Ren Tianxing was startled and quickly appraised the two Elders’ cultivation realms.

They were still at the Fifth Level of Nirvana Realm.

"Aren’t your cultivation bases at the Fifth Level of the Nirvana Realm? When did they fall?" Ren Tianxing asked with a frown.

As a mighty cultivator at the Half-Step Destiny Realm, he had been paying close attention to the battle but hadn’t noticed any change in the two Sect Elders’ realms.

Fifth Level of the Nirvana Realm?

The two Nirvana Realm Elders’ expressions changed drastically.

At that moment, they realized their fallen cultivation bases had, at some unknown point, returned.

"How strange. How did our cultivation bases return?" one Nirvana Elder mused, stroking his chin, a doubtful look in his eyes.

Ren Tianxing snorted coldly.

He turned to look at the three youths, his eyelids narrowing slightly.

Logically, these two Fifth Level Nirvana Realm Elders, whom he knew very well, wouldn’t lie.

However, the cultivation realms of the three youths before him were clearly displayed; they absolutely lacked the strength to suppress Nirvana Realm cultivators.

Could there be someone else?

Ren Tianxing released his Divine Sense once more.

The Big Black Horse looked remarkably majestic, but in reality, it was just an ordinary black horse.

And the carriage interior was empty.

The Shen Heng Sect was an ancient sect, and Ren Tianxing, as its Sect Master, was exceptionally experienced.

He frowned, pondering. Even experts of the Life and Death Realm couldn’t arbitrarily suppress the cultivation realm of a Nirvana Realm cultivator.

Perhaps only cultivators from the Eternal Realm could do that.

However, the Cangnan Continent was a vast and limitless expanse. Eternal Realm experts were as rare as morning stars; how could one possibly appear in a small place like the Shenfeng Dynasty?

While Ren Tianxing was deep in thought, Luo Li and Jun Moxiao were also standing in place, recalling the recent battle.

The moment they had drawn their swords, the cultivation realms of the two Shen Heng Sect Nirvana Elders had plummeted directly to the First Level of the Nirvana Realm.

And they had only used a single move to make the two Elders cough up blood.

This both surprised and delighted them.

We never expected... that after our Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood concentration reached 10%, our physical bodies would become so incredibly strong. This power is simply unimaginably mighty! If we hadn’t battled others, we would never have known just how terrifyingly strong our physical bodies have become.

"Senior Sister!" Jun Moxiao glanced at Luo Li, his eyes glinting with killing intent.

"Kill!" Luo Li uttered a single word.

The two acted simultaneously, transforming into Divine Dragon Phantoms and charging towards the surrounding Shen Heng Sect disciples.

"Kill!"

Su Wanyi felt her blood boil with excitement.

Although her cultivation base was the lowest, at this moment, she too charged without hesitation towards the Shen Heng Sect disciples on another flank.

Her bloodline concentration was only 2% lower than that of her junior brother and junior sister. Su Wanyi believed her physical strength shouldn’t be too much weaker than theirs.

Furthermore, with their Old Ancestor present, she feared nothing.

Right now, she had only one conviction in her heart: to wipe out the Shen Heng Sect and avenge the generations of Dragon God Sect seniors who had perished over the last ten thousand years!

Seeing the three youths actually take the initiative to attack, Ren Tianxing’s face immediately turned somber.

Too arrogant! What did they take the Shen Heng Sect for?

He waved his hand and shouted coldly, "Kill!"

Instantly, tens of thousands of Shen Heng Sect disciples sprang into action.

Among them were Origin Sea Realm disciples, Divine Bridge Realm disciples, and numerous Nirvana Realm Elders.

The Nirvana Realm Elders, with the highest combat strength, were at the forefront of the battle.

The Divine Bridge Realm Disciples of Heaven’s Pride formed the second line.

Meanwhile, the Origin Sea Realm disciples constantly moved around the periphery, launching long-range sword light attacks.

Instantly, an unprecedented large-scale melee erupted in the square.

Boundless sword light flooded the entire square.

At this moment, human forms became indistinct; only Divine Dragon Phantoms could be seen, continuously weaving through the tide of sword light.

Many Nirvana Realm Elders pouncing on Luo Li and Jun Moxiao were shocked to find their cultivation bases plummeting wildly even before they could attack.

Some dropped to the First Level Nirvana Realm, some to Level two Nirvana Realm, and others to the Nirvana Realm Third Level.

The extent of their realm collapse varied.

What happened?

These Nirvana Realm Elders were so shocked they momentarily forgot to attack.

Inside the carriage, Ye Yun watched. An obscure glint suddenly flashed in his profound eyes.

That obscure glint, like a bottomless black hole, teemed with unimaginable mystical runes.

At that moment, all the Nirvana Realm Elders whose cultivation realms had been weakened completely forgot about their realms falling. With bloodshot eyes, they charged madly at Luo Li and Jun Moxiao.

What on earth happened? Ren Tianxing clenched his fists, watching the scene in shock.

All the Nirvana Realm Elders had indeed paused for a moment before falling into a frenzy.

"Because their cultivation realms have fallen..." a gentle voice suddenly echoed in Ren Tianxing’s mind.

Who?

Ren Tianxing was startled.

Immediately after, Ren Tianxing’s eyes bulged. He was horrified to find that his cultivation base had plummeted from the Nirvana Realm Tenth Level Peak all the way down to the First Level Nirvana Realm.

The next moment, he found that he couldn’t move his body at all; he couldn’t even open his mouth.

Inside the carriage, Ye Yun lightly tapped a finger, and a ray of light entered Ren Tianxing’s mind. He began to search Ren Tianxing’s memories.

In the span of a single breath, the ray of light refracted, returning to Ye Yun’s fingertip.

Interesting...

Ye Yun’s expression was calm. He chuckled softly, and his body suddenly vanished from the carriage.

The next moment, ripples appeared in the void, and Ye Yun stepped out, finding himself before an ancient tower.

This was a nine-story ancient tower located in the rear courtyard of the Shen Heng Sect’s Sect Leader’s Main Hall. The ancient tower was exceptionally timeworn, looking as if it had been passed down for millennia.

This was the Legacy Tower of the Shen Heng Sect.

All the legacies of successive Sect Masters were completely preserved within this Legacy Tower.

Outside the Legacy Tower, a blind old man with a black cloth wrapped around his head sat cross-legged on the ground, seemingly guarding this ancient tower in silence.
