Immortal of the Ages

Chapter 450 - The Red-Robed Woman, a Human-Devil Hybrid!

In Yun Xiao's icy demeanor, a faint smile finally emerged. Yet, it was a cold one.

As for Jian Xing, appearing unharmed apart from his eyes, he was truly brain-dead. Dead beyond dead. This was a true duel between Sword Cultivators, where death often happened in an instant!

The illusion of ten Dreamsea Abalones, 3,330,000 layers of Sword Aura, combined with Yun Xiao's sacred power and Primordial Martial Furnaces, which was comparable to the Five Decays Realm... There was no way Jian Xing could possibly defend!

It all happened too quickly, so quickly that not a single person in the Mystic Zenith Temple could react.

Over 100,000 disciples of the Primordial Academy were stunned into silence.

The Temple Head, Mysterious Sword Manor Master, Dharma Crowns, and the warriors of the Black Battalion were frozen on the spot, their complexions gradually turning pale.

Eventually, the entire Mystic Zenith Temple was silent as a graveyard.

"Take a good look, everyone." Yun Xiao extended the Heaven Burial Sword Soul in his hand, turning it into a three-foot azure blade.

HUM! Over 3,000,000 layers of Sword Aura swept out, transforming into a vast sea of sword energy, whistling around the long sword.

Atop it, ten Sword Rings, like white pearls, shone like the snowy moonlight on the azure sea of swords, competing for brilliance and creating an illusory world.

Yun Xiao, beneath the dreamy light, clad in white, stood ethereal as a celestial being.

"This Sword Aura, it must be over 3,000,000 layers..." Lil Xiu covered her lips with her hand, grabbing the arm of a girl next to her, exclaiming in disbelief.

"T-ten Sword Rings!" Yue Molin yelled out loud, eyes wide with excitement, jumping up.

A Sword Immortal with eight Sword Rings reaching the heavens?

Lian Xi once said, if anyone possessed eight Sword Rings, they would be deemed a heretic, unbelievable to others, a capital offense.

Now, ten Sword Rings were shining openly! And they were all Yang Immortal Sword Rings.

In the silence that followed at the Mystic Zenith Temple, it erupted at that moment. Over 100,000 people watched Yun Xiao with trembling eyes, their chests as if on fire, burning so intensely that none could speak.

However, in the minds of most, numerous terrifying possibilities flashed through.

"Such high-level Sword Aura requires a massive amount of Calamity Bones to achieve, and those ten Dreamsea Abalone Sword Rings..." The red-robed woman's dark eyes nearly dripped blood.

The nearby Manor Masters and Dharma Crowns all turned their gaze towards her!

A place emerged in everyone's mind simultaneously—the Jade Immortal Tower!

"Isn't there a True Devil in the Blood Devil Ruins? How could the treasures of the Jade Immortal Tower end up in his hands?" The Mysterious Sword Manor Master said coldly.

On the platform, Yun Xiao glanced at him and cheerfully said, "Simple, what happened at the Pathseeker Palace and Jade Immortal Tower were my doing."

"What is your relationship with the True Devil of the Blood Devil Ruins?" the Mysterious Sword Manor Master asked.

"The relationship between someone framing and someone being framed," Yun Xiao said with joy.

"You've successfully framed others, why admit to your crimes today?" the Mysterious Sword Manor Master asked again.

"Because I couldn't hold it in anymore, I wanted to clear the air," Yun Xiao laughed, then looked at the Mysterious Sword Manor Master, "Are you satisfied with this answer?"

As they conversed, tens of thousands of Black Battalion cultivators had already surrounded the Mystic Zenith Temple so tightly that not even a mosquito could escape. The red-robed woman, ten Manor Masters, and over 20 Dharma Crowns had all arrived below the high platform!

Killing Jian Xing had put Yun Xiao in a situation with no escape.

However, even the red-robed woman had to admit that the strength Yun Xiao displayed at this moment was no longer at the level of a genius, but that of a powerhouse.

She couldn't understand how Yun Xiao's strength had soared in just three to four days. Such speed had exceeded her understanding; even if she were told the truth, she wouldn't believe it.

"Want to kill me?" Yun Xiao smiled, though his gaze was dangerous.

"You and Lian Xi are the same, ants who cannot escape their fate, it's only a matter of time," the red-robed woman said.

"Is that so? Then let me do one more thing for this bright world." Yun Xiao stepped back a few paces.

He came next to a large cauldron. The cauldron was enveloped in mist. It released a mist that had already swept over the Mystic Zenith Temple, hovering over everyone's heads.

"This thing is called the All-Life Devouring Gu. It has already dispersed into the air. Once you cultivate and ascend, you will inhale it into your body. It will enter your brain, accompany your soul at all times, hypnotizing you constantly, making you regard the Three Immortals as True Immortals who protect the Dao in the human world, when in fact, they are but Evil Cultivators raising Gu.

"The Martial Emperor Clan never harvested the hearts of young girls for cultivation. The transformation from the Five Calamities to the Five Decays is not something humans can change, but it's related to the mixing of nefarious forces with Yin and Yang. The Three Immortals took advantage of the Martial Emperor Clan's post-war losses to seize the fruits of victory and rewrite history. Over these three hundred years, they forced all cultivators in the Primordial Ruins to practice the Ascension Technique, while they siphoned off your power of belief!"

Yun Xiao finished speaking with a clear tone. After finishing, he smiled and faced the over 100,000 disciples of the Primordial Academy.

They were the last sacred land in the Primordial Ruins.

"You may slander the Three Immortals all you want, but no one will believe the words of someone who associates with devils and a child of disaster." The red-robed woman laughed.

"I know." After saying this, Yun Xiao kicked over the cauldron, spilling its white liquid contents, which sizzled as they evaporated into the air.

He continued, "I'm merely offering everyone an alternative perspective, to understand that this world is complex. Don't blindly believe in any one person or thing. All sorts of evils roam the human world, and the truth is like a young child abused by those in power, forced to take whatever shape they desire."

These words, combined with the truth he had spoken earlier, plunged the Primordial Academy disciples into a state of shock and fear. They dared not utter a word. Some believed, others did not.

Yue Molin and Lil Xiu believed that the truth was often more terrifying than one's imagination, leaving them struggling to breathe. Those who didn't believe had their reasons, shaped by their own experiences that made them trust the Three Immortals.

Yun Xiao couldn't force anyone. He only wished to speak to those who believed in him, stating that practicing the Ascension Technique required active cultivation. If they heeded his advice, then his goal would be achieved.

"We can't let him spout nonsense any longer," a Manor Master whispered.

"Deal with him," the Mysterious Sword Manor Master added.

"I'll do it." The red-robed woman, not wanting further losses, decided to take action herself.

She ascended the platform, approaching Yun Xiao.

The red-robed woman, shrouded in blood mist that condensed into blood-colored bats roaming the ground, removed her cloak for the first time in front of Yun Xiao.

Revealed to Yun Xiao was a woman with black hair and red eyes, her long hair reaching her waist, her face bewitchingly beautiful, a true femme fatale, especially with a teardrop mole adding to her allure.

"Wow, look at this. Pot calling the kettle black. Turns out, you're a devil yourself," Yun Xiao said with amusement.

Indeed, the red-robed woman was not a pure descendant of the Three Immortals. She was a mix, part human, part devil, with lineages of both Sword Cultivator and Inscription Cultivator in her veins. Somewhat similar to Yun Xiao's own methods.

How she came into being, Yun Xiao did not know, nor was he particularly interested.

BUZZ! The red-robed woman's power surged, her Yin Immortal power wrapping around her. She was at least in the Perfect Yin Immortal Realm!

This force was completely overwhelming Yun Xiao.

However, under this terrifying pressure, Yun Xiao glanced at her coldly. "Just you? Not enough. Manor Masters, Dharma Crowns, Black Battalion, all of you, come at once!"
