CHAPTER 282: CHAPTER 260: BATTLE NIRVANA! 9 PATHS UNLEASHED!!!

"Immortal Tao Lineage!!"

In Chen Daoyan’s eyes, a terrifying brilliance flickered as he stared intently at the three immortal gates.

His fists tightened continuously, emitting crisp cracking sounds.

Immortal Tao Lineage!

Only an Immortal Tao Lineage could possibly send a Nirvana Realm Great Power into that Ancient Land Mini World.

"Patriarch, what should we do?"

The Netherworld Elders stepped closer, also raising their heads to look at those three misty immortal gates, their expressions chillingly cold.

Chen Daoyan took a deep breath but did not reply.

Immortal Tao Lineage was immensely strong.

As the only existence with a Longevity Realm currently, the Immortal Tao Lineage was utterly overpowering for other forces, akin to an overwhelming dimensional strike.

Not to mention resisting, they didn’t even qualify to look directly!

"If Zhi’er truly dies in this Ancient Land Mini World, then even if I must exhaust all the clan’s power, I will find the true culprit behind Zhi’er’s murder and take a piece of his flesh!"

Chen Daoyan sat down again, his eyes flickering constantly, a stream of killing intent flowing out from him.

Meanwhile.

From within those three misty immortal gates, eyes gazed out simultaneously, looking at each other.

"Elder, who did this?!"

Behind the Celestial Saint Palace’s immortal gate, the contemporary Saintess of the Celestial Saint Palace, Mo Qingyue’s face changed instantly.

A Nirvana Realm being, an old monster who had been in the Nirvana Realm for many years, somehow entered the Ancient Land Mini World and assassinated the inside geniuses!

This kind of thing had never happened before, unheard of for ages!

And to accomplish all this, only the three Great Immortal Tao Lineages, who were the organizers of this competition, could possibly do it!

"Not the Celestial Saint Palace."

The silver-haired old woman standing in front of Mo Qingyue shook her head, "The Celestial Saint Palace has no grudge with Chen Zhixing, moreover, the palace sent me to preside over this competition; it’s impossible for anyone in the palace to act under my nose."

After a pause.

The silver-haired old woman raised her head, her gaze sweeping over the Ascended Immortal Sect and the Daluo Taoist Lands through the immortal gate.

Her expression grew solemn as she spoke slowly:

"It seems someone in these two Tao Lineages wants to kill Chen Zhixing."

Upon hearing this, Mo Qingyue felt a chill in her heart, and quickly asked, "Grandmother, do we have any way to save this Chen Zhixing?"

The silver-haired old woman shook her head and exhaled a long breath, saying, "Once the Ancient Land Mini World begins, it enters a closed state; no matter how great the power, no one can be sent in again."

"And the Nirvana Realm who went to assassinate Chen Zhixing must have been sent into the mini-world before the competition started, only lying dormant until now to reveal themselves."

"So does that mean... this was a premeditated, carefully planned assassination?"

Mo Qingyue’s pupils contracted slightly.

Soon after.

She looked at the profound light mirror, her heart instantly tightening.

...

...

Ascended Immortal Sect.

Behind the immortal gate.

A sage-like old man, looking at the image within the profound light mirror, frowned slightly.

"Interesting, just for a junior genius, they actually didn’t hesitate to pay that kind of price, forcibly sending a Nirvana Realm in advance into the Ancient Land Mini World."

"With the emergence of this assassination incident, I fear that no top genius will dare participate in the East Profound Domain’s competition in the future."

The sage-like old man clicked his tongue twice, looking with interest towards the Daluo Taoist Lands and the Celestial Saint Palace.

From which family did such a method come?

The next moment.

The old man stood with arms crossed.

No matter which of the two families acted, he only needed to stand by the side and wait for the show to begin.

...

...

Behind the Daluo Taoist Lands.

Consort Long, like a gentle cat, lay on the body of the Purple Gold Crown middle-aged man, whispering in his ear with a moist tone:

"Thank you, I thought you would go back on your word."

"Stop using those charms in front of me."

The Purple Gold Crown middle-aged man, gently stroking Consort Long’s hand, suddenly exerted force, pulling her hair back, causing her whole head to tilt back.

"I’ve done what you asked."

"Where is the thing I want?"

The Purple Gold Crown middle-aged man said expressionlessly.

"Don’t be so rough; can’t you be a bit gentle with me?"

Consort Long giggled, "Rest assured, that Jade Seal of the Ancient Immortal Dynasty, I said I’d give it to you, so I certainly will."

The Purple Gold Crown middle-aged man nodded, casually picking up a teacup beside him, lowering his eyes, and sipping it lightly.

Chen Zhixing was indeed the most brilliant genius of this golden era.

If he could join the Daluo Taoist Lands, given time to grow, perhaps he could add another Great Longevity Realm to the Daluo Taoist Lands!

But...

Throughout the ages, there was more than one Great Longevity Realm.

Yet the Jade Seal of the Ancient Immortal Dynasty was one of a kind!

...

...

Inside the Ancient Land Mini World.

"Come?"

The withered old man in dirty robes, with lifeless eyes, smirked slightly.

Bang.

He merely took a light step.

In an instant, he was in front of Chen Zhixing, striking down with a palm.

"Eye of Truth, open!!!"

In a flash, infinite divine light surged in Chen Zhixing’s eyes, densely packed divine patterns like worm-like lines covered his entire eyeball, leaving only the black ’卍’ mark of the pupil.

With the activation of the Eye of Truth, the movements of the dirty-robed old man, formerly uncapturable, slowed down in Chen Zhixing’s vision.

Simultaneously, weaknesses appeared before Chen Zhixing’s eyes.

"Divine Technique: Execution Platform!"

"Ox Demon... Shattered Heaven!!"

Chen Zhixing muttered softly, sidestepping the dirty-robed old man’s attack, his immense divine thought surged into the dirty-robed old man’s Sea of Consciousness, forming an execution platform within.

The dirty-robed old man seemed to find himself on an execution platform, his limbs bound, with mysterious figures in large black robes, their heads covered by black hoods, silently stabbing at him, intending to dismember him alive.

Taking advantage of the dirty-robed old man’s moment of distraction, Chen Zhixing punched hard on the withered old man’s forehead.

That was where his protective force was weakest!

Bang!!

The dirty-robed old man didn’t budge; in merely a fraction of a moment, his lifeless eyes regained clarity.

"Oh? You can see the weaknesses?"

The dirty-robed old man, expressionless, reached out and clutched Chen Zhixing’s throat, gradually lifting him up.

"But you forgot, for lions and tigers, their mutual weakness is the throat, but for ants, it is... invulnerable!!!"

Bang—!

The dirty-robed old man’s fingers suddenly exerted force, pinching hard.

The terrifying Nirvana Power attached to his withered fingers, like a knife through butter, directly gouged a large chunk of flesh from Chen Zhixing’s neck!

Boom!!

A turbulent flame erupted from Chen Zhixing’s back like two fire dragons, slamming into the dirty-robed old man from both sides.

Meanwhile, Chen Zhixing kicked at the chest of the dirty-robed old man, leveraging a forceful retreat.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

The surging flames engulfed the dirty-robed old man, turning into a sea of flames.

Chen Zhixing panted slightly, scarlet blood flowed from his neck, dyeing his entire dark robe red.

"Really invulnerable?"

Chen Zhixing took a deep breath.

In the next moment.

He spread his hands, closed his eyes, and took on a pose as if embracing the heavens and earth.

Gusts of wild wind swirled around Chen Zhixing, flaring his blood-soaked garments.

"Come forth, all Nine Paths."

Chen Zhixing uttered calmly, the voice growing louder with each word, resounding to the heavens!

Suddenly.

The nine Great Tao Seeds in his Sea of Consciousness vibrated simultaneously!!!
