“Stop!”

This single word exploded like thunder. The Ji Clan experts guarding the Central Divine Palace entrance were all Immortals, and at this moment, they were seething with killing intent as they locked their energy onto Lin Xun.

Ordinary people would have shrunk back upon seeing such a lineup, but how could Lin Xun possibly be deterred by these small characters?

He raised his eyes to look at the Central Divine Palace before turning to the alerted Immortal guards, and then uttered a sentence that confused everybody, “Fortunately, there is no one here in my way who doesn't deserve death.”

The next moment, he stepped forward. Bang bang bang...!

Under the countless horrified gazes in the massive martial ground, the eighteen Ji Clan’s Immortals blocking Lin Xun's way blew up. Like a string of firecrackers being ignited, they bloomed into scarlet fireworks.

It was gory to look at!

“What...”

Many guests were utterly dumbfounded, and the lively banquet immediately became chaotic. The cultivators who had previously been laughing and chatting collectively stopped whatever they were doing and looked over with drastic changes in their expressions.

“He he he...he dared commit murder here?!” someone exclaimed as their scalp went numb.

This was Origin Divine Mountain, the territory of the Eternal Divine Ji Clan. No one since the beginning of time had been bold enough to commit murder here! No one!

Let alone the general cultivators, even Eternal existences wouldn't dare to act as they wished in the Ji Clan's lair!

“Too strong... He wiped out a bunch of Immortals in one move...” Numerous spectators were chilled to the bone by the bloody sight.

There was no doubt that this daring, young murderer was a terrifying character. Otherwise, how could he act against the Ji Clan right at its Central Divine Palace?

“Is he tired of living...?” A guest felt both their heart and mind tremble.

This marriage between the Ji Clan and the Taihao Clan had begun stirring the world as soon as it was announced several days ago, garnering the attention of all the major organizations in the Ninth Heaven Domain.

The spotlight on it was especially bright today as honored guests from the other Eternal Divine Clans had come in droves and gathered inside the Central Divine Palace. The ones who received these guests were two Eternal elders of the Ji Clan, Ji Xiaoyun and Ji Beifeng!

Under these circumstances, who wouldn't be shocked that someone would dare to cause a scene here? Every eye had gone round!

“Heavens!!!”

The python-robed old man completely lost his mind, gawking in a stupor. To think that the young man who had held him hostage to enter Origin Divine Mountain would do such a crazy thing... Not even in his wildest dreams could he have expected this.

Right in the midst of this shocked, stiff atmosphere, Lin Xun reached the end of the stairs. His lone, refined figure became the sole center of attention.

......

The atmosphere had been peaceful and relaxed in the Central Divine Palace. Ji Xiaoyun and Ji Beifeng assumed the highest seats as they frequently toasted to the guests in the hall.

Considering their lofty seniority, ordinary guests simply weren't qualified to be personally welcomed by them. However, this time was different as the guests present were all distinguished members of the other Eternal Divine Clans.

The Panwu Clan, the Jue Clan, the Ye Clan, the Wen Clan... Nine out of the twelve Eternal Divine Clans had sent their people here! These characters were all big names in the circle, being at the Transcendence Stage.

Under eternity, Transcendence ruled! Including the Ji Clan's bigwigs, there were close to thirty Transcendence Immortals in the Central Divine Palace at the moment. It could be said that the seated were all venerable.

Moreover, in order to prevent the outside from interfering with the atmosphere in the grand hall, the palace was covered in invisible restrictions. As a result, the interior was calm despite the rowdiness outside.

“The Ji Clan is honored that Ji Xi’s marriage has everyone's personal attendance. Please allow me to propose a toast to you all.” Ji Xiaoyun raised his cup with a smile. He was dressed in a Taoist robe and had a robust physique despite his age. After he had spoken, everybody raised cups high and drank together.

“Why didn't anyone from the Yang Clan come?” someone suddenly asked. Everyone here knew how close the Ji Clan and Yang Clan were. It was odd that not a member of the Yang Clan had come to celebrate this occasion.

Ji Xiaoyun was briefly stunned before he laughed. “Half a month ago, we got a message from their patriarch Yang Cangsheng that he would send someone. Perhaps they will arrive tomorrow.”

This was just a small episode in their casual conversation. Before long, the topic shifted to the situation of the world, and at the mention of this, they couldn't avoid talking about the Origin Sect and Lin Xun.

Some time ago, seven of the Eternal Divine Clans had each dispatched an Eternal expert to the Seventh Heaven Domain. They had traveled to the Origin Sect where they and two Eternals from the Shaman Sect and the Zen Sect had planned to deal with Lin Xun.

However, the result was the same as the first attack on the Origin Sect: the whole team was annihilated! Although nearly half a year had passed since then, the strong long lasting impact made it remain a heartache for the participating Eternal Divine Clans. They also deduced that Lin Xun had passed his Eternal tribulation and killed those nine Eternal experts.

This was an easy guess. When Lin Xun had come to the Yang Clan to declare war, Eternals like Yang Xietian and Yang Budong had already had a vague idea. It was just that none of them dared to be sure due to how inconceivable it was.

Everyone knew the imminent epochal calamity had cut off the opportunity to certify eternity, but paradoxically, Lin Xun had triggered his Eternal tribulation. There was something else that made the Eternal Divine Clans even more alarmed, and it was that the order to exterminate Lin Xun came from the mastermind behind the epochal calamity!

This was proof the path Lin Xun walked had caused even that supreme existence to feel deeply threatened.

“This Lin Xun... They say the harmful pests always find a way to live, and it's indeed true in his case,” someone couldn't help but lament out loud.

The others nodded in agreement. The mention of Lin Xun induced disgust and hatred in even great figures like them.

In a short period of a hundred years, the Ten Immortal Giants under their wings had been destroyed, and their two subsequent attacks on the Origin Sect had cost them each an Eternal expert, all because of Lin Xun. How could they not hate him?

An elder of the Taihao Clan remarked coldly, “If it wasn't for the epochal calamity, how could my clan possibly tolerate this brat’s rampancy until to this day?”

Someone else whispered, “No matter what we say, this man has grown into something significant and become a huge threat to us all. With him protecting the Origin Sect...I'm afraid that it will be very difficult to find another chance to get rid of him.”

Many big shots sighed. The enemy was but a Fangchun Mountain remnant who had not even been worth a glance from them in the past. Who could have thought that his rise to power would be so rapid?

“Heh, do not fret over him whom the existence behind the epochal calamity has set their eyes on. He won't be able to monkey around for very long.” Ji Xiaoyun chuckled to break the heavy atmosphere. “Besides, as ferocious and insane as he is, he wouldn't have the guts to run wild in the Ninth Heaven Domain. If he does, he'll learn very quickly that he has bitten off more than he can chew.”

The crowd burst into laughter at his comment. Indeed, this was the Ninth Heaven Domain, the territory of the twelve Eternal Divine Clans. No one had ever dared to commit violence against them here since time immemorial.

The Master of Fangchun Mountain couldn't back then, and now, his disciple Lin Xun likewise couldn't!

“Speaking of which, I actually want to see him come to the Ninth Heaven Domain, so that we can exact revenge and vent our hatred.” Ji Beifeng laughed sinisterly. He wore a yellow robe and was as handsome as jade. While looking like a young man, he was actually an old Eternal monster who had lived for who knew how many millennia.

Right at this moment, a ripple ran through the restrictive power covering the area of the Central Divine Palace. Following that, a figure appeared outside the door of the main hall, who then walked in. “Exact revenge? Not a problem—that is, if you have what it takes.”

This person was none other than Lin Xun. Like taking a stroll in the park, he entered the opulent hall full of guests.

At this second, the VIPs inside were all stunned. Their pupils shrank in a look of disbelief. This was the Central Divine Palace, the core of the Ji Clan! Despite that, someone had barged in!

Unlike ordinary cultivators, they had long been reported of Lin Xun's true appearance. That was why they were so shocked to see him here and now.

“Lin Xun!”

At the main seat, Ji Xiaoyun shot to his feet, his eyes gleaming with a terrifying luster. “To think you would dare to come to the Ninth Heaven Domain and even barge into our clan. Big guts you have, I must say.”

Lin Xun!

The bigwigs in the grand hall all rose up as well, each looking more astonished than the next. It was only at this moment that they finally dared to believe it: the newly arrived was really Lin Xun. Moreover, he had directly intruded into the Ji Clan and appeared right before them. He clearly meant ill!

The atmosphere in the hall instantly became tense and solemn. The auras of so many powerful experts spread together, tumbling in the limited space. One could only imagine how terrifying this pressure was. The maids and attendants of the VIPs all shivered in fear, weak in the knees.

Only Lin Xun seemed blissfully unaware as he walked to the center of the hall. Sweeping his eyes at the stunned and dubious faces around, he indifferently said, “I’ve been listening, you all said you want me to come. I'm here now. Time to avenge whatever grudge you have.”

His words echoed endlessly in the hall.

The crowd of Eternal old monsters were all in disbelief, not to mention the rest. As immeasurable as their status was, they had never set foot in the Eternal Stage. How could they not feel scared, suddenly being forced to face Lin Xun?

“Everyone, don't panic. My Ji Clan is no place for a Fangchun Mountain remnant to act without scruples!” said Ji Beifeng icily.

With just a few words, he reminded everyone. That's right, this is the base of the Ji Clan. There's nothing to fear with Eternals like Ji Xiaoyun and Ji Beifeng in attendance. It is Lin Xun who's sending himself to the mouth of death by coming here alone.

Ji Xiaoyun sighed softly. “It is our negligence that Lin Xun snuck into our clan right before the big event tomorrow. To think that we let this criminal disturb you all.”

His frosty eyes then stared daggers at Lin Xun. “But it is not entirely a bad thing. Since the opportunity presents itself to exterminate him here, it's double joy for the Ji Clan!”
