Chapter 919: Crushed Beliefs

Ties that bind!

Everyone murmured softly, their gazes like those of the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon, fixed on the madly slaughtering Ye Chen.

For his own good, stay here!

The Tai Xu Ancient Dragon spoke leisurely, waving his hand to remove the restraints on everyone.

However, although their killing swords hummed in their hands, they gripped them tightly and none rushed out.

Though the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon deserved a beating, they unconditionally believed his words. His origins and background were far too powerful; any issues they couldn't see, he could. This matter concerned Ye Chen's life, and it was no joking matter.

My Ye Chen!

Chu Xuan'er extended her jade-like hand, as if she could touch that face full of stubble and weariness from afar.

For those three years, he had wandered aimlessly through the mortal world.

For those three years, she had been listless, confined to the peak of Jade Maiden Peak.

They had missed three years, and now another three— for her, this was a cycle, a heaven-orchestrated cycle of torment.

Suddenly, her vision blurred, and mist gathered in her eyes under the moonlight, condensing into frost that traced down her sorrowful face. At least heaven still showed some mercy; they wouldn't have to endure the passage of time much longer.

Boom!

As her gaze grew hazy, another thunderous rumble echoed from the Xue Ling family.

Ye Chen struck powerfully, smashing the Xue Ling family's last standing spirit mountain into dust with a single palm.

It was an ironic scene.

The Xue Ling family, a colossal power in Northern Chu and an eternal inheritance, once boasted eight hundred spirit mountains. Now, they had been leveled to the ground, with mountains still present but built from piles of corpses, soaked in fresh blood.

Kill!

The Xue Ling family experts went mad, burning their lifespans to gain immense power as they charged in waves.

"Watching him fight alone like this is really frustrating!" Over here, the old Zhuge man plopped down on the ground.

"This won't cause problems, right?" Niu Shisan asked tentatively. "I heard that Blood Slaughter Array is incredibly fierce."

"Trust me, just stay here," the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon said leisurely. "Don't worry, in his current state, unless something goes wrong with him personally, no one can truly threaten his life— not even if the Eight Kings arrived."

"You're that certain?" Even Dao Huang couldn't help but turn his head to look at the unfathomable Tai Xu Ancient Dragon beside him.

"The risen Huang Gu Sheng Ti can only be suppressed by an emperor." The Tai Xu Ancient Dragon smiled faintly. "Though his state isn't invincible, it has transcended a taboo."

"What do you mean by his state?" Tian Zong old ancestor asked instinctively.

"Infinitely close to indestructible and unkillable."

"Indestructible and unkillable?" Everyone frowned, their hearts unable to calm. A state like that—who could suppress it?

"He's split the Blood Slaughter Array." As the crowd was still reeling in shock, horrified voices came from the distant onlookers, drawing everyone's attention.

In the distance, a blood-soaked figure had been sent flying— upon closer inspection, it was the Xue Ling old ancestor.

As for the Blood Slaughter Array he controlled, it had been shattered by Ye Chen's single strike. Perhaps due to the massive shock, not only the Xue Ling old ancestor but also those around the array suffered severe injuries, with many exploding into blood mist on the spot.

Now, the hearts of the Xue Ling family experts turned completely cold.

The Blood Slaughter Array was their final reliance, and now it was destroyed. What could they use to fight that world-conquering demon god? After rounds of slaughter and blood sacrifices, the Xue Ling family's experts were already nearly wiped out.

Old ancestor, you've doomed the Xue Ling family!

The surviving Xue Ling family experts were filled with despair, roaring toward the sky.

Their roars were full of grief and resentment.

If not for the Xue Ling old ancestor's stubbornness and overconfidence in their deep foundations, insisting on making an enemy of Ye Chen, the world-conquering demon god, how would the Xue Ling family have ended up like this? It was total clan extermination!

Listening to the roars echoing through the sky, the Xue Ling old ancestor, who had just steadied himself, spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

He was truly afraid now, terrified by Ye Chen's killing. The Xue Ling family's fate was sealed after this bloody battle.

He truly regretted it, regretting provoking Ye Chen, the world-conquering killing god, and bringing total destruction upon his family. How could he face the generations of Xue Ling ancestors?

Ah!

Amid the roars, many Xue Ling family experts self-destructed.

It was a tragic sight, with blood flowers blooming spectacularly across the sky.

This scene left the onlookers sighing endlessly.

The Xue Ling family had been killed mercilessly, yet they still had the strength to fight on. Even if they couldn't win, they could escape, and perhaps a few might survive.

But they didn't. It wasn't that they lacked the desire to live; it was that living had become torture for them. What was the point of surviving? How could they seek revenge or stand against the world-conquering demon god?

They no longer had the courage to fight. Even among them, there were quasi-heaven realm experts, but their beliefs had been utterly crushed by Ye Chen's power.

Self-destruction, for them, was perhaps a release.

At least, they could preserve that shred of dignity as experts.

Ah!

The Xue Ling old ancestor wailed madly, the exploding blood flowers terrifying him into stumbling backward repeatedly.

In the midst of fear and tragedy, his aura rapidly climbed— he too intended to end his life through self-destruction.

However, he wasn't as resolute as his descendants. In that final moment, he hesitated, truly afraid of death. The mighty Xue Ling family old ancestor, in that instant, lost the courage to self-destruct.

Ah!

The blood-robed elder retreated further, suddenly letting out a terrified roar as he turned and fled, stumbling like a frightened child, his mind shattered, desperately seeking a safe place.

"A family old ancestor like that, with his clan destroyed, and he's still afraid of death." An onlooker sighed, instinctively clearing a path for him.

"People reap what they sow; debts must be paid." A drunkard with a wine flask murmured, as if talking to himself, but his words left many silent.

"Stepping onto this path without seeing through life and death— how laughable." A middle-aged man with a golden sword on his back chuckled and shook his head.

"Is the first divine general of the Sheng Dian here to offer his thoughts?" The drunkard laughed as he looked at the sword-bearing middle-aged man.

"Senior Huang Xuan, are you mocking this junior?" The sword-bearing middle-aged man smiled in response.

"Damn, who are these two?" The surrounding onlookers collectively stepped back, sizing them up.

"The first divine general of the Sheng Dian? Is the one with the sword the legendary Mo Yuan?"

"And if even the Sheng Dian's first divine general calls him senior, is that drunkard Da Chu's Huang Xuan, the elder brother of Chu Huang?"

The expressions of the onlookers became extraordinarily vivid, as if they were dreaming. Who would have thought two such mighty figures were standing right beside them?

Bang!

The crowd's shock was shattered by a booming sound.

The void trembled slightly as Ye Chen emerged from the Xue Ling family territory, stepping through a sea of demonic blood and Sha energy, wielding his world-conquering demonic sword, advancing step by step with earth-shaking force toward the Xue Ling old ancestor.

"This is really going to wipe out the Xue Ling family completely!"

"After killing this far, if it were you, would you leave behind a potential threat?"

"Well, I suppose not."

"But today, this proves one thing!" Someone sighed with emotion. "From now on, it's better to provoke the Bloodthirsty Hall than to mess with Ye Chen. He wipes out entire clans at the drop of a hat, leaving people without even the courage to live!"
