Chapter 35: Yellow Sand Saint Emperor Defeated in One Move

By this time, countless experts had already arrived at the outskirts of their battlefield, yet they only dared to watch from afar and did not dare draw any closer.

The strength of those two had long since surpassed that of ordinary experts at the Peak of the Saint Emperor Realm. As for the aftershocks of their battle, anyone below the Late Saint Emperor Realm simply could not withstand them.

So all they could do was watch from a great distance.

Very soon, one of the Saint Emperors present recognized Chen Wangu and cried out in shock,

“Isn’t that Senior Chen Wangu, the Chairman of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion?”

“Hiss, it is actually Senior Chen Wangu? But why would Senior Chen Wangu suddenly start fighting Yellow Sand Saint Emperor for no reason?”

“There is no need for us to know something like that. Just watch the battle quietly.”

At that moment, Yellow Sand Saint Emperor and Chen Wangu shot into the sky and continued their battle in midair.

This battle could truly be described as one that shattered the heavens and split the earth. Even the Great Dao itself was ground away.

In the blink of an eye, nine days had passed.

In complete contrast to the situation outside, everything inside the Skyborne Primordial Wilds remained peaceful.

After all, with the Origin Essence of the Immortal King of Myriad Weights there, the events outside naturally could not affect what lay within.

“Are you done playing? If you are, then let’s go.”

Lu Xunxian held Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun by the hands. After speaking, he looked outside the Skyborne Primordial Wilds, and his gaze instantly turned cold.

Outside, Yellow Sand Saint Emperor and Chen Wangu stood in midair, staring at one another. Both of them were breathing slightly heavily, and their expressions were extremely grave.

It was clear that both were deeply shaken by just how powerful the other had proven to be.

Yellow Sand Saint Emperor, in particular, had begun regretting the fight not long after it started.

And the longer he fought, the more he regretted it.

Had he known Chen Wangu would be this troublesome, he would have swallowed that grievance on the spot.

Moreover, this matter had started because of his own subordinates.

At that thought, Yellow Sand Saint Emperor wanted to revive those subordinates just so he could kill them again.

Just then, a voice came from behind Chen Wangu.

“Old Chen, I have to say, you really aren’t much after all. It’s already been nine days, and you still haven’t settled this.”

Lu Xunxian slowly walked forward from behind Chen Wangu and reached out to pull him behind himself.

At this moment, however, Lu Xunxian was wearing a mask. If he had not spoken, Chen Wangu might not even have recognized him.

Just as Lu Xunxian had said, he was an extremely low-key person by nature. After sensing the presence of many mighty experts nearby, he did not want to attract unnecessary trouble, so he had put on a mask.

As Lu Xunxian appeared, all the mighty experts watching from the surroundings became intensely curious about his identity.

Anyone who dared call the Chairman of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion “Old Chen” was probably also an existence at the Peak of the Saint Emperor Realm.

As for Yellow Sand Saint Emperor, the moment he saw Lu Xunxian, a deep sense of wariness rose within him for reasons he himself did not understand.

“This fellow Daoist, who exactly are you? This is a grievance between Chen Wangu and me. It would be somewhat inappropriate for you to interfere, would it not?”

“Oh? You do not recognize me? Then you may get to know me now.”

Lu Xunxian cast Yellow Sand Saint Emperor a glance, and the killing intent in his eyes instantly caused cold sweat to pour down Yellow Sand Saint Emperor’s back.

By the time Yellow Sand Saint Emperor reacted, Lu Xunxian was already holding Chen Wangu’s Xuanyuan Spear, its tip no more than a hair’s breadth away from Yellow Sand Saint Emperor’s throat.

The sight of this left everyone present horrified.

None of them had expected Lu Xunxian to be this powerful. Yellow Sand Saint Emperor, who had previously fought Chen Wangu to a standstill, had now been defeated so effortlessly.

Cold sweat streamed down Yellow Sand Saint Emperor’s face. He could feel how terrifying the person before him was.

If this man wanted to kill him, it would take no more than a single move, perhaps one he would not even have time to react to.

“Were you not coming for me? What is it? Now that you have met me, you cannot say a word?”

Lu Xunxian spoke in a calm tone.

Yellow Sand Saint Emperor’s heart was filled with shock, and his eyes widened.

“You’re that person!”

“I hope this matter ends here. At the same time, you will sever your own cultivation with one stroke and fall to the Late Saint Emperor Realm. Also, in the Northern Desert, I do not wish to hear of the existence of Vile Bandits ever again. Understood?”

Hearing Lu Xunxian’s demands, Yellow Sand Saint Emperor instinctively wanted to refuse. But when he felt the Xuanyuan Spear pressed against his throat, he ultimately swallowed hard and agreed with difficulty.

“I understand, Senior.”

The moment those words fell, Yellow Sand Saint Emperor acted with extreme decisiveness and severed his own cultivation with one stroke.

His realm immediately fell from the Peak of the Saint Emperor Realm to the Late Saint Emperor Realm.

But to Yellow Sand Saint Emperor, none of that mattered before life and death.

As long as he remained alive, everything still held hope.

He was still young. He was only seventy thousand years old and still had nearly thirty thousand years of lifespan remaining. In addition, he had already gained insight before, so it would not take long for him to return to the Peak of the Saint Emperor Realm.

After Yellow Sand Saint Emperor severed his own cultivation and fell to the Late Saint Emperor Realm, Lu Xunxian did not pursue the matter any further.

He returned the Xuanyuan Spear to Chen Wangu and prepared to leave with him.

As for his son and daughter, Lu Xunxian had already arranged for them to wait elsewhere.

Just as Lu Xunxian and Chen Wangu were about to leave, Yellow Sand Saint Emperor finally could not hold back anymore and asked,

“May I ask for Senior’s honorable name?”

“What? Are you planning to seek revenge in the future?”

Lu Xunxian did not turn around as he spoke.

“I would not dare. I only wish to know Senior’s name so that I will not offend you again in the future.”

“There is no need for you to know. If you offend me again, I will not give you another chance to sever your own cultivation.”

With that, Lu Xunxian and Chen Wangu disappeared before Yellow Sand Saint Emperor’s eyes.

After they left, Yellow Sand Saint Emperor’s expression darkened.

“Where in the world did such a powerful Senior come from? Damn it. Now I’ll have to spend another three thousand years cultivating back to the Peak of the Saint Emperor Realm.”

Yellow Sand Saint Emperor cursed inwardly, yet he did not dare think of seeking revenge against Lu Xunxian.

What a joke. At the height of his power, he had not even been able to see how Lu Xunxian moved.

Even if he cultivated back to the Peak of the Saint Emperor Realm, seeking revenge would be nothing more than courting death.

Very soon, Yellow Sand Saint Emperor also transformed into a mass of yellow sand and vanished from before the crowd.

As for the mighty experts watching, they felt there was simply too much information to process, and their minds could hardly contain it.

First, they had witnessed Yellow Sand Saint Emperor and Chen Wangu battle one another to a standstill.

Then another unknown expert at the Peak of the Saint Emperor Realm had appeared and defeated Yellow Sand Saint Emperor in a single move.

The Peak of the Saint Emperor Realm already stood at the very summit of Tiansheng Continent, and Chen Wangu was one of the very strongest among those at the summit.

Yellow Sand Saint Emperor, who had fought Chen Wangu to a draw, had been instantly defeated. Just how powerful, then, was Lu Xunxian?

They did not dare imagine it, nor did they wish to.

At the very least, within their understanding, no such expert had ever existed in the vast Tiansheng Continent.

At this moment, Lu Xunxian had already brought Chen Wangu back to reunite with Lu Xiaoyao and the others.

With a grave expression, Chen Wangu looked at Lu Xunxian and asked,

“Old Lu, can you tell me now? What realm are you really in? Are you truly only at the Peak of the Saint Emperor Realm?”

Judging from Lu Xunxian’s performance today, this was clearly not strength that someone at the Peak of the Saint Emperor Realm should possess.

Hearing this, Lu Xunxian shook his head.

“Do not overthink it. The strength I used really was only at the Peak of the Saint Emperor Realm.”

The current Tiansheng Continent simply could not withstand power above the Saint Emperor Realm, so Lu Xunxian had always kept his realm suppressed at the Peak of the Saint Emperor Realm.

However, although his realm was suppressed at the Peak of the Saint Emperor Realm, his understanding of the realm and his combat experience were far beyond that level.

That was why he could easily defeat Yellow Sand Saint Emperor in a single move even while using only the strength of the Peak of the Saint Emperor Realm.

For the current Lu Xunxian, let alone cultivation at the Peak of the Saint Emperor Realm, even cultivation at the Early Saint Emperor Realm would have been enough for him to defeat Yellow Sand Saint Emperor with ease.

Chen Wangu, meanwhile, was sharp enough to catch the crucial point in Lu Xunxian’s words. His eyes widened instantly, and his breathing quickened.

According to what he knew, once a Saint Emperor broke through and became an Immortal, the Heavenly Dao would forcibly send them Ascending to the Immortal Realm. If one wanted to return to the lower realm again, one would need at least the cultivation of an Immortal King.

Did that not mean that the Lu Xunxian before him had to be at least at the Immortal King Realm?

For a moment, Chen Wangu’s attitude toward Lu Xunxian changed in a subtle way. It was no longer as casual as before.

That was an Immortal King, an existence powerful enough to destroy the entirety of Tiansheng Continent with ease.

If one day Lu Xunxian stopped being courteous with him, would he not die a miserable death?

But Lu Xunxian wore a serious expression as he said,

“Old Chen, you are one of the few friends I have in Tiansheng Continent, so I hope you will not keep your distance from me out of respect for my realm. Let everything remain just as it was before.”

Hearing this, Chen Wangu fell silent.

Seeing that, Lu Xunxian did not disturb him. Instead, he looked toward the northern end of the Skyborne Primordial Wilds and said,

“Come out.”
