I've waited for you for a thousand years, and I've lived this life just to meet you

More than a hundred powerful men in the realm of God Kings, with eyes as cold as ice, and the murderous intent on their bodies condensed into substance, transforming into streams of death that tore through the sky, and rushed towards the elders and disciples of the Ancient Divine Sect who had already died below, and killed them fiercely!

The battle broke out instantly! Brutal and swift!

A devastating roar and energy explosions echoed wildly within the Taikoo Divine Sect's mountain gate. Waves of destructive attack spread from the center of the battle like a wave of death.

The morale and courage of the Taikoo Divine Sect had been shattered since the moment their leader and ancestor were killed by Su Yu'er and her husband. Now, with their protective formation broken by a single blow, the combined forces of the three factions charged in like wolves and tigers, leaving them utterly terrified! Their so-called resistance was nothing more than a desperate struggle of trapped beasts!

In just a few breaths, thousands of Taikoo Divine Sect disciples were reduced to dust by the casual blow of the Divine King! Wailing filled the air, and the Divine Mountain was stained with blood!

"Su Yu'er, how dare you!!!"

Zhu Di's eyes were bloodshot, and his roar was filled with despair. He turned his head sharply to look at the elders, and roared like an explosion: "Ancestral Soul Altar, summon the ancestors!!"

"Wow!"

Before he finished speaking, the two Supreme Elders, already poised for action, opened a rectangular jade box without hesitation. Inside the box, a black tablet quietly emerged.

This tablet is different from ordinary tablets. It is inlaid with a lifelike golden statue.

Instantly, a rich golden glow emanated from the golden figure, like a suddenly rising sun. A blinding light erupted, and a dazzling golden beam shot up from the tablet, tearing through the heavens!

In the surging and blazing divine light, a terrifying and boundless shadow condensed from the golden light and appeared in the void.

He was an old man in a white robe, his hair and beard white, his face majestic and mysterious. He was shrouded in golden light, and though his figure was illusory, he exuded a terrifying pressure that shook the heavens and the earth!

The founder of the Taikoo Divine Sect—Lu Lintian!

"Oh no! It's the remnant soul of the ancestor of the Ancient Divine Sect!" Yu Xiao's face changed drastically. He never expected that the Ancient Divine Sect actually had such a hidden secret.

Lu Linxuan and the Xiao elders both had serious expressions.

Xiao Qingyu's eyes flashed, and her red lips curled slightly, "Great Elder, is this the founder of the Taikoo Divine Sect?"

The Xiao clan elder nodded solemnly: "Indeed, a veteran Divine Sovereign at the peak of his powers."

"Calling my ancestors now, is this a matter of life and death?" Dan Qingwan muttered to herself with a look of surprise and doubt in her eyes.

Xiao Qingyu tilted her head and whispered, "Perhaps, there is still a glimmer of hope if I risk my life."

As the two whispered, Lu Lintian looked down at the devastated sect below, his eyes cold as ice. Soon, his gaze locked onto Su Yu'er and Xiao Mohan.

His eyes were icy, his tongue spitted out thunder, and his voice was like the might of heaven: "It is you who want to destroy my Taikoo Divine Sect?!"

No one dared to look down upon the founder of the ancient Divine Sect. In the divine realm of the past, he was unrivaled. The ancestors of any clan or sect, in their own time, were symbols of unrivaled power.

The strong men from the coalition forces of the three major forces all held their breath and looked up at the majestic figure in the void with awe and solemnity.

The great protective formation of the sect has been broken, and summoning the remaining souls of the ancestors is the last desperate struggle of the Taikoo Divine Sect.

Xiao Mohan had a cold look on his face as he looked at Lu Lintian and said slowly, "So what?!"

Su Yuer's red eyes flashed with brilliance, and she and Xiao Mohan instantly realized that the powerful shadow in front of them was nothing more than the remnant soul of a peak-level Divine Lord.

I thought the Taikoo Divine Sect was at its wit's end, on the verge of destruction. Who would have imagined that, at this critical juncture, they still harbored the remnant spirit of their founder!

Lu Lintian stared at Su Yu'er and Xiao Mohan, his brows furrowing ever tighter. A sense of deadly threat, originating from the depths of his soul, emanated from both of them.

Within a few breaths, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his mind was shaken. Su Yu'er's body was filled with the vast and supreme power of the origin of the Heavenly Dao!

"Heavenly Dao?! She... is actually the incarnation of Heavenly Dao?!"

The moment he knew Su Yuer's identity, the rage and murderous intent in Lu Lintian's heart instantly dissipated, leaving only a cold premonition of catastrophe.

He slowly closed his eyes, suppressing the turbulent waves in his heart, and said in a low voice: "I didn't expect that there would be such a powerful person in the God Realm now."

Zhu Di's eyes burst with ecstasy. He soared into the air and kowtowed respectfully to Lu Lintian: "Ancestor! The sect is in danger! I, an unworthy descendant, have been forced to disturb the holy ancestor's presence. I feel ashamed of my ancestors! I beg you to protect me, kill this beast, and restore the prosperity of our ancient divine sect!"

Lu Lintian closed his eyes and remained silent, as silent as a mountain.

After a long while, he slowly spoke: "Did my Taikoo Divine Sect offend these two people?"

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "If we talk about offense... it is this Taoist couple who killed my sect's divine son in the Nine Heavens Secret Realm, thus bringing about this disaster."

Lu Lintian suddenly opened his eyes and looked directly at Zhu Di, "Just for revenge?"

Zhu Di's heart trembled, and he dared not hide it. "Rumor has it that the Divine Emperor's inheritance within the Nine Heavens Secret Realm lies in the hands of these two. Later, when the Sect Master asked for help, our ancestors personally went to the Holy Flame Mountains... but... in the end, they all perished at the hands of Su Yu'er and Xiao Mohan."

Lu Lintian calculated with his fingers, and after a moment, he shook his head and sighed: "The sect...can't be saved!"

He had anticipated this. The God Emperor's legacy was enough to unleash the world's deepest greed.

Looking down at the sect below, where blood flowed like a river and corpses piled up, he was silent for a moment, his voice heavy as iron: "The Ancient Divine Sect has been tainted by karma that shouldn't have happened. This karma... is caused by Su Yu'er and Xiao Mohan."

"what?!"

The entire Taikoo Divine Sect was struck by lightning! They were hoping their ancestors would save the day, but instead they were met with the words, "Due to karma, the sect must be destroyed!"

Wasn't the blood of all the disciples shed in vain?!

Lu Lintian locked eyes with Su Yu'er and Xiao Mohan. He didn't attack. Instead, an invisible yet terrifying pressure from the peak of the Divine Sovereign's power, like a physical, ancient sacred mountain, crashed down upon them. His commanding voice, piercing through the very soul, resounded, "My two young friends, lay down your butcher knives and become Buddhas right here and now..."

The vast pressure enveloped the heaven and earth, and the strong men from the coalition forces of the three major forces suddenly felt their souls shaken, and they couldn't help but want to stop fighting and retreat!

"Humph!"

A cold snort came from Xiao Mohan's nose, and an invisible terrifying deterrent force spread out, instantly tearing apart the bewildering and heart-breaking pressure!

"Put down the butcher knife?!"

Xiao Mohan's eyes shone brightly, and he suddenly laughed out loud: "If you put down your butcher knife, no one will covet the treasure and kill people? I think you will only die faster!"

Su Yu'er's eyes flashed with cold light as she stared directly at Lu Lintian's heart-piercing words. The power of his heart-piercing words seemed to be able to tear everything apart, causing people to tremble and control their minds.

Lu Lintian stared at the two of them in silence.

The "Heart-piercing Mantra" magical power that had just shaken the Dao heart was easily neutralized by the other party. He underestimated the strength of the Dao heart of this Taoist couple! In terms of mental state, the two had long been impeccable.

Lu Lintian shook his head, his voice filled with helplessness: "This old man...after all, I underestimated you two young friends!"

Su Yu'er raised her eyebrows slightly, and her red lips curled up into a smile: "Ancestor, can you answer my question?"

Lu Lintian was slightly startled: "Just say it."

Su Yu'er's eyes swept over the remaining members of the Taikoo Divine Sect, and she spoke in a clear voice, "You speak of compassion. May I ask... has your Taikoo Divine Sect ever lived up to your words?"

Everyone in the Taikoo Divine Sect felt like they were hit by a sudden wake-up call!

Seizing the Divine Emperor's inheritance led to the extinction of the clan. Isn't this karma?!

Lu Lintian was speechless for a moment.

The contempt on Xiao Mohan's lips grew even stronger, and his icy voice boomed across the Wanren Divine Mountain: "Our ancestors just advised us to 'lay down our butcher knives and become Buddhas right here.' I'd like to ask, when have my wife and I ever taken the initiative to raise our butcher knives? How did we put down our butcher knives?"

Are you, the Taikoo Divine Sect, the only one allowed to steal treasures and take lives?

It was the Taikoo Divine Sect that first raised the butcher knife. If anyone were to lay down the butcher knife and become a Buddha instantly, it should be the Taikoo Divine Sect that did it!

Lu Lintian stared at the two of them without saying a word.

Zhu Di's pupils shrank sharply, and he interrupted hurriedly: "Ancestor! They are disturbing your Dao heart!"

Lu Lintian nodded and said, "How could I not know!"

Su Yu'er glanced at Zhu Di and said disdainfully, "Destroy your moral integrity? Do you deserve it? Ask yourselves, is what we said wrong?"

Zhu Di's eyes were cold as he argued, "Humph! Our ancestors' faith in the Dao is as solid as a rock. How can you shake it with just a few words?"

Su Yu'er shrugged and spread her hands: "So, you admit it! The Taikoo Divine Sect covets my and my wife's inheritance. In your eyes, so-called interests override everything else!"

Zhu Di frowned, his heart was shocked, and he looked at Su Yu'er, speechless.

Lu Lintian stared directly at Su Yu'er and Xiao Mohan. After a long pause, he said sternly, "My two young friends, if you are willing to stop now, it would be a merciful act. From this day forward, our Taikoo Divine Sect is willing to close its mountain gates and never come out again! Could you... spare the lives of these disciples for a little favor?"

Su Yu'er and Xiao Mohan were both stunned. They had come to exterminate the clan, and this ancestor actually begged for mercy? To save the remaining lives and permanently close the mountain gate? Their expressions instantly grew extremely solemn.

"Ancestor! But countless elders and disciples of our sect have been killed or injured. Their lives..."

Zhu Di frowned and was very anxious.

Is this ancestor ill? Talking about mercy with the enemy, wouldn't those fallen elders and disciples have died in vain?

Lu Lintian looked up at the horizon and smiled bitterly, "Many times, only by following fate can we live longer. Now, only by closing the mountain gate can you have a chance of survival. Otherwise... since the God Emperor's inheritance has chosen them, why don't we follow fate?"

Zhu Di fell silent for a moment, a gleam of greed flashing in his eyes as he probed, "Ancestor... don't you have even the slightest desire for that inheritance?"

A trace of complex desire flashed across Lu Lintian's eyes, and then turned into self-mockery: "If it were back then, even if I died, I would definitely have some thoughts! But now... I'm just a remnant soul, what else can I think of?"

He paused, his voice filled with powerlessness and desolation. "In this world, there are always powerful beings that you cannot imagine. This old man... is powerless to change the situation. Life and death, only between your thoughts."
