Chapter 213: What Kind of Scene Would That Be?

"I’ve heard that the Profound Sun Holy Son once used Life and Death Realm cultivation to kill two Divine Palace experts. I’d very much like to see whether that’s actually true!"

A rough and booming voice rang out.

It was Elder Hong of the Star-Moon Demon Sect, striding forward with great force. His body was like a coiled dragon, and the blood qi around him had solidified into a tangible form—manifesting into a vast Blood Domain that stretched without end.

Each step he took through the void triggered violent earthquakes, as if a godlike giant of ancient times had descended upon the mortal world from beyond the clouds.

Buzz—!

A massive black axe appeared in Elder Hong’s hand. The axe’s blade gleamed with a chilling, murderous edge, and blood still dripped from it—the blood of some unfortunate Divine Palace cultivator. The moment the axe appeared, the air became suffocatingly heavy.

"Time to die!"

Elder Hong roared, raising the black axe and swinging it down from above. A sweeping arc of black light slashed through the void, and the howling force tore everything in its path.

CLANG—!

A resonant sound rang out—like a giant bell struck by divine hands.

Beneath the descending axe, a massive black halberd emerged. The halberd was as heavy as a mountain, wreathed in murderous aura, like an ancient demonic dragon awakening, ready to suppress the heavens and earth.

"A Supreme-Grade Dao Weapon?"

Elder Hong frowned. He gave Li Xun a sharp glance, then turned his gaze to the halberd—a greedy light flickered in his eyes.

A Supreme-Grade Dao Weapon was second only to a Sacred Weapon. Such a weapon wasn’t something ordinary cultivators could even dream of wielding. Only figures like the Northern Yu Divine Emperor could realistically own one.

And now, a weapon of this level had appeared in Li Xun’s hands, and that completely stirred Elder Hong’s desire. The Azure Dragon Halberd, known for its sheer destructive power, was among the few weapons perfectly suited to a Body Refining cultivator like him.

And it was right there.

"What a treasure. It’s mine now!"

Elder Hong burst into laughter, his hand gleaming like jade, palm surging with terrifying energy as he reached toward the Azure Dragon Halberd.

"ROAR—!"

A dragon’s roar shook the heavens.

The black halberd trembled, and the coiling Azure Dragon on its surface suddenly came to life. Its head reared up and lunged at Elder Hong, biting down with a crunch— crimson blood splattered in the air.

Several of Elder Hong’s fingers were bitten clean off.

"If you want to steal my weapon, let’s see if you’ve got what it takes."

Li Xun spoke coldly.

His black hair flowed like a waterfall, his expression unshakably firm. At that moment, he and the Azure Dragon Halberd seemed as one. The surrounding spiritual energy surged madly into the halberd.

In that instant, the halberd erupted with blinding light, and a terrifying power rippled out like a tsunami, engulfing all directions.

With a ruthless expression, Li Xun swung the Azure Dragon Halberd down. A massive black dragon—as vast as a mountain range—tore across hundreds of miles of the battlefield. It howled as it crashed toward Elder Hong, splitting through multiple combat zones.

BOOM!

Elder Hong was smashed down from mid-air by Li Xun, buried deep within the earth—a scene so shocking it stunned countless onlookers.

"That’s Elder Hong from the Star-Moon Divine Sect! A renowned Body Refining cultivator—and he actually got smashed into the ground by Li Xun? That’s insane!"

"I used to doubt the rumors that the Profound Sun Holy Son could slay Divine Palace realm experts while only at the Life and Death Realm, but now... I believe it. Even someone as powerful as Elder Hong was completely overpowered!"

"I can’t imagine... how many Divine Palace cultivators in this world could still come out on top in a fight against Li Xun."

"And he’s still only in the Life and Death Realm! If he ever steps into the Divine Palace Realm... what kind of scene would that be?"

All the spectators were deeply shaken. Their hair stood on end, cold sweat dampened their backs. They had already heard of how terrifying Li Xun was, but witnessing it in person—it surpassed all rumors.

Boom!

Another strike from the halberd came crashing down just as Elder Hong was about to leap out of the ground. The massive black halberd shattered the heavens and slammed him back into the earth, even more brutally than before.

"Damn it!"

Elder Hong roared with unwilling fury.

But it was completely futile.

Li Xun was like a man playing whack-a-mole, pounding him deeper into the ground—thousands of meters down. The land within dozens of miles was blasted apart with Elder Hong as the epicenter.

"Stop!"

Just as Elder Hong was completely suppressed, another elder from the Star-Moon Divine Sect rushed over. Though his hair and beard were white, his divine might had not faded in the slightest.

From afar, he struck with a palm that blanketed a hundred miles. Each finger was like a towering mountain, pressing down from the sky with overwhelming force.

"Another one?"

Li Xun frowned slightly. He was just about to form a seal and unleash the Mountain River Seal, when suddenly, a slender figure appeared in front of him.

"Let me help you."

Qin Xueyi said softly. She turned her delicate face slightly, smiling with a brilliance that dimmed the moon and dulled the stars. In that moment, all things in the world lost their color—only she remained breathtaking and radiant.

After being helped by Li Xun multiple times, she finally had a chance to show her strength—to stand beside him and protect him for once.

With a graceful raise of her hand, she unleashed a divine light that quickly disintegrated the massive palm descending from the sky. Then she stepped forward with lotus-like grace, facing the Star-Moon Divine Sect elder head-on.

"A mere Divine Power Realm junior dares to block me?"

The elder snorted coldly.

If it were Li Xun, he could accept it—after all, Li Xun was already a recognized powerhouse. But this fiancée of his? She was only at the Divine Power Realm, and she dared to challenge him?

A gap of two entire major realms. To him, it was nothing short of courting death.

"Divine Power Realm?"

Qin Xueyi stood like a divine phoenix, her robes fluttering, hair dancing, and her peerless face filled with unshakable will and invincible belief.

"You’ve got it wrong. I am in the Life and Death Realm."

As her crisp voice rang out, a vast, dark cloud suddenly gathered in the sky above, blanketing hundreds of miles. The oppressive pressure made it hard to breathe.

"What’s happening?"

The Star-Moon Divine Sect elder’s expression changed drastically. He glanced up and his pupils shrank slightly.

He said hoarsely, "The Life and Death Tribulation?! You’re attempting to break through here?!"

His voice was nearly trembling by the end.

In the Great Strength Divine Demon Sect’s secret realm, more than half the cultivators were at the Divine Palace realm, another large portion were at Life and Death, and only a small handful were below that—such as the Divine Power Realm and a few rare cases like Xiao Fan at the Profound Elixir Realm. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

So in theory, Qin Xueyi could have chosen anywhere to transcend her tribulation—anywhere but here.

Because if even a single Divine Palace expert got involved, her tribulation would instantly escalate into a Saint Tribulation.

And a Saint Tribulation would cover ten thousand miles.

Within that area... who knew how many Divine Palace experts were gathered?

If more than ten of them were pulled in, the might of the tribulation could easily reach world-ending levels. At that point, it wouldn’t just be Qin Xueyi who died, the entire Great Strength Divine Demon Sect secret realm might be dragged into mutual annihilation.

"She’s insane!"

The elder coldly snorted and immediately turned to flee.

He had only come to rescue a fellow sect brother, not to throw his life away.

If he got pulled into Qin Xueyi’s tribulation, and he wasn’t prepared for it, then without a doubt, he would die.
