“Don't worry, you won't die, and you won't pass out. You will watch your own limbs be devoured by them until nothing is left.”
Wang Xuanyi looked down at the crowd fighting desperately over one of Lyu Wu's arms, speaking with absolute composure to the half-dead Lyu Wu beside him.
Lyu Wu's eyes bulged. This exceptionally clear agony was impossible to forget, permanently engraved into his soul.
He could not close his eyes, could not pass out, and could not even take his own life. He was left entirely at the mercy of others.
“My lord, please give us a bit more! I don't want to die!”
“Yes, my lord! One arm isn't nearly enough to share!”
The geniuses below no longer considered killing Wang Xuanyi their duty; instead, they were terrified of not getting a taste of Lyu Wu's flesh and blood.
“As you wish.”
Without even looking, Wang Xuanyi ripped off Lyu Wu's legs and tossed them into the crowd, releasing those geniuses who had swallowed the flesh, their mouths stained with blood.
The crowd of hundreds instantly dwindled to dozens.
Eventually, only about a dozen remained.
The Yinyang Valley Holy Son and Holy Daughter, the frozen Yan Gong of Huoyun Mountain, the sword cultivator from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect who had left a sword scar on Long Zitian, two male cultivators from the Dao Integration Sect...
These people were the elite among geniuses, one-in-a-million cultivation prodigies. They refused to fall behind others, nor did they want to be humiliated.
Crack!
Wang Xuanyi ripped off Lyu Wu's last remaining arm and threw it in front of the final few people, saying coldly, “Eat up. I left this specifically for you beasts.”
“You go too far—”
The Yinyang Valley Holy Daughter's eyes turned extremely cold, but the voice of her Valley Master echoed in her mind, advising patience. “Holy Daughter, endure it for now. Living is always better than dying.”
The dozen or so geniuses all received transmissions from their respective Sect Masters at the same time.
They all essentially said the same thing:
“Survive, and only then will you have the chance to slay your enemy with your own hands.”
Snap!
Wang Xuanyi's large hand clamped down on the Yinyang Valley Holy Daughter. His eyes opened and closed as chaotic energy enveloped her, dragging her into his pupil technique space.
Hundreds of heterochromatic eyes stared at her like fierce beasts in a pitch-black abyss, making her shudder with dread.
Within a few breaths, Wang Xuanyi stripped the Yinyang Valley Holy Daughter's clothes halfway down and disheveled her hair before throwing her directly out of the space.
The Yinyang Valley Holy Daughter fell to the ground, her eyes filled with terror as she gasped for fresh air.
Wang Xuanyi strolled out, looking straight ahead, and said coldly, “I have no interest in your body. I hope you don't make a fool of yourself.”
“What?!”
The Yinyang Valley Holy Son, who had just swallowed a piece of flesh, looked at the disheveled Holy Daughter with blood still on his mouth and asked loudly, “You actually offered yourself to him?!”
The others were also stunned. So when the Yinyang Valley Holy Daughter went in just now...
Could they have already...?
The people of the Heavenly Martial Immortal Sect were also dumbfounded.
“Shut up!” The Yinyang Valley Holy Daughter snapped at the Holy Son, then glared at Wang Xuanyi. “What a ruthless method. What do you gain by ruining my reputation?”
Wang Xuanyi remained silent and did not even look at her. He quietly carried Lyu Wu, who was now just a torso, back to the Heavenly Martial Immortal Sect's camp. Behind him, the Yinyang Valley Holy Daughter's shout echoed once more.
“Tell me, what on earth do you gain by ruining a woman's innocence??”
The Yinyang Valley Holy Daughter chewed and swallowed the last piece of Lyu Wu's flesh, her eyes exceptionally cold as she stared at the figure who didn't even treat her like a human being.
Immediately after, the Ancient Immortal Realm closed, and the millions of cultivators still inside were teleported out together.
Most of them had been trapped in illusions they couldn't escape, or stuck in True Immortal trials unable to comprehend the Dao, but at the last moment, the ancient immortal sent everyone out.
The ancient immortal wanted to screen for talented individuals, not engage in mindless slaughter.
The cultivation world still needed these people as a foil to nurture generation after generation of powerhouses.
“What happened?”
“I don't know.”
“Is the Ancient Immortal Realm trial over?”
“Damn it! My immortal inheritance!”
“Why is this space so empty? I remember there were several mountain peaks here.”
“And why is there a shattered star over there?”
The empty Cangzhou suddenly became bustling once more with the arrival of millions of cultivators.
They were confused and had no idea what had actually transpired, left only to rely on hearsay.
“Sect Master, Master, Sister Su Qian, Martial Aunt Xiao, I'm back.”
Wang Xuanyi returned to the Heavenly Martial Immortal Sect's faction. The icy aura around him dissipated, and he returned to his usual state.
“Good boy, you've really given me a massive surprise.”
Shen Shi looked at the upright Wang Xuanyi before him, the joy in his eyes overflowing uncontrollably, as if he were looking at some rare, precious species.
One couldn't blame Shen Shi; he truly hadn't expected Wang Xuanyi to be such a peerless genius who could suppress all rivals. If such a genius had ended up in another sect, he would have regretted it to death.
Wang Xuanyi bowed in return and said, “Sect Master, Master, Sister Su Qian, let's head back first. I have a few gifts for you on the way. They are very important.”
“Alright.”
Shen Shi already intended to leave. After bidding farewell to Murong Fu, Wang Xuanyi took the sleeping Murong Qing and embarked on the journey back to the sect.
Before they parted, Murong Fu and his wife gifted a massive amount of cultivation resources, repeatedly thanking Wang Xuanyi for his care and protection of Murong Qing.
Wang Xuanyi merely exchanged some polite pleasantries, casually accepted Murong Qing and the resources, and then boarded the immortal ship back to the sect with Shen Shi and the others.
As for the other sects, though they felt aggrieved, they couldn't possibly start an outright war right then and there. They also departed with their respective disciples.
In an instant, Cangzhou returned to its original desolation, leaving behind only the remains of tens of millions of cultivators and a ruined landscape.
...
Aboard the Heavenly Martial Immortal Sect's immortal ship.
Xiao Hongye and the others cast a secret technique, enveloping Wang Xuanyi and the unconscious Wenren Jing and others to cut off all external auras.
“Their injuries have been fully healed. The rest depends on when they wake up,” Shen Shi said.
“That's good. It would actually be rather troublesome if they were awake right now,” Wang Xuanyi said.
His words left the others utterly bewildered.
What did he mean by “rather troublesome if they were awake”?
Next, Wang Xuanyi unsealed his storage ring, took out a black bead, and casually handed it to Mo Yan, saying, “Old geezer, this is the ghost immortal's soul brand. Once you wipe out the brand, we can go marry my mistress.”
“...”
Such a calm tone.
“You destroyed the ghost immortal?” Mo Yan simply couldn't contain his curiosity.
“Yep, destroyed him. And not only did I destroy him, but I also brought out two immortals.”
“...”
For a moment, the brains of Shen Shi and the others completely short-circuited.
Just now... it seemed Wang Xuanyi had said something absolutely mind-boggling.
Brought out two immortals?
Did they hear that right?
Brought out two immortals from the Ancient Immortal Realm?
Were they the kind of transcendent, eternally indestructible immortals they knew of?
“Little Yi-Yi, you're not joking, are you?”
Even Su Qian, who usually loved to joke around, asked with a completely serious expression.
“Hmm?”
Wang Xuanyi looked at everyone in confusion and asked, “Can True Immortal remnant souls not be brought out of the Ancient Immortal Realm?”
“...”
