Chapter 807: 409. Depriving Human Emperor Dao Fruit, the fear of Chiming Venerated Immortal (Requesting Subscription)
After leaving the Cloud Sword Sect, Xu Xing didn't hesitate for a moment, using the Teleportation Array to directly leave the Purple Yin Realm. Afterward, his main body rendezvoused with the clone that the Nine Life Cauldron had condensed at the World Sea. Together, they met Sui Nansheng and swiftly fled in a direction far away from the Chiming World. Once everything was done, Xu Xing didn't waste any additional time.
「Meanwhile.」
In the Chiming World, Chiming Imperial Dynasty, Central Capital.
The Chiming Venerated Immortal was in the middle of cultivation when he suddenly sensed that the connection between himself and the Human Emperor Dao Fruits was rapidly vanishing. His face revealed a bewildered expression. What's going on with the Human Emperor Dao Fruits? Why did they suddenly disappear? Vanish?
He guessed, Could it be that the cultivator hosting the Human Emperor Dao Fruits this time was killed? Damaging them in the process?
When he had fled the Cloud Fall Immortal Realm, he had already used True Immortal means to seal off the Immortal World Gateway of this World Territory. There was no one in the vicinity of this World Territory who could oppose him or know about the Human Emperor Dao Fruits being separated from his main body.
The only possibility is that the Human King physique bearing the Human Emperor Dao Fruits had just been killed. As a result, I've lost contact with the Human Emperor Dao Fruits for a brief moment.
Wait a moment... I should be able to reestablish contact soon.
Chiming Venerated Immortal suppressed his impatience, waiting for the Human Emperor Dao Fruits to contact him again. He had been holed up in the Chiming World for hundreds of thousands of years and knew that no cultivator in this World Territory could oppose him, not even those demons from the True Devil World.
Time gradually passed.
One day.
Two days.
「Several days later.」
Chiming Venerated Immortal could not contain himself any longer. His brows furrowed, and he began to dispatch the Shen Ce Army's elite guards to the Lower Realm to search for the Human Emperor Dao Fruits.
The Chiming World had, by now, become "flesh and blood" connected with him. He would not easily step out of the Chiming World unless it was absolutely necessary.
「Several days later.」
The Shen Ce Army reported that Sui Nansheng had been captured by Butian Sect Master Xu Xing, and his whereabouts were unknown.
Xu Xing? The Chiming Venerated Immortal heard Xu Xing's name for the first time. He wondered who Xu Xing was and why he would go to the Cloud Sword Sect to capture Sui Nansheng.
Moreover, Xu Xing's strength doesn't seem to be that of a Lower Realm Nascent Soul Cultivator, but rather an Immortal? Only a Void Immortal Realm powerhouse could easily tear apart a World Barrier. Even if the Cloud Sword Sect's Cave's World Barrier is insignificant, Xu Xing, who tore it apart, must be at least at the Free Immortal Realm in strength.
Could it be... Chiming Venerated Immortal thought of his enemies in the Cloud Fall Immortal Realm: the traitorous Chiming Immortal Empress and the other Nine Great Immortal Kings.
What should I do? What do I do now? The Human Emperor Dao Fruits have disappeared! They've been taken by someone...
For the first time, the Chiming Venerated Immortal felt a sense of urgency. His current situation was even worse than when the Chiming Immortal Empress and the others had betrayed him.
Without the Human Emperor Dao Fruits, he would lose the possibility of returning to the True Immortal Realm. Moreover, once the Human Emperor Dao Fruits were shattered, his main body's strength and cultivation would be affected accordingly.
"Bring me Xu Xing's information," the Chiming Venerated Immortal ordered.
Soon, he obtained information about Xu Xing from the cultivators he had sent to the Lower Realm. The key piece of information was that Xu Xing had once killed Li Fan.
However, even looking at this information, Chiming Venerated Immortal still couldn't figure out what grievances he had with Xu Xing, or what information Xu Xing had obtained to capture his Human Emperor Dao Fruits.
But before the Chiming Venerated Immortal could think any further, at this very moment, he sensed that his Human Emperor Dao Fruits were "dying"—they were breaking apart inch by inch...
Outside the Chiming World, he tore through the World Barrier and left? A Void Immortal Realm cultivator? How is that possible?
Chiming Venerated Immortal was extremely shocked. He couldn't believe that Xu Xing was the same Lower Realm cultivator who had killed the Nascent Soul Cultivator Li Fan a few thousand years ago.
Escape! I have to escape quickly! Even though I don't know how he found out the location of my Human Emperor Dao Fruits, his strength now poses a significant threat to me...
In an instant, Chiming Venerated Immortal made up his mind. He waved his sleeve robe, severing his connection with the Chiming World, and hurriedly fled in a direction away from Xu Xing.
Without the Human Emperor Dao Fruits, he did not dare to fight a Void Immortal Realm cultivator, especially one like Xu Xing, whose origins were so mysterious.
Xu Xing, far away in the Mysterious Green World, remained unaware of Chiming Venerated Immortal's escape from the Chiming World.
He looked at the dying Sui Nansheng before him, shook his head, and said, "Daoist Sui, although I am in the wrong this time, you carry Chiming Venerated Immortal's Human Emperor Dao Fruits within you. If I don't kill you, it will bring disaster to all living beings… Whether for my own Dao path or for the sake of all living beings in this World Territory, I must choose to kill you, Sui Nansheng, and seize the Human Emperor Dao Fruits from your body."
"If it were a matter of killing ten thousand, or even hundreds of thousands of people, I might hesitate. But today, the only person I need to kill is you, Sui Nansheng. There's nothing to hesitate about."
"The path of most cultivators is stained with the blood of some innocents."
"However, since you and I have no grievances or grudges, Sui Nansheng, I will allow you to understand why you must die before I kill you."
"Couldn't you just kill my Dao Body and let my Divine Soul survive?" Sui Nansheng asked, his face pale.
Xu Xing shook his head. "The Human Emperor Dao Fruits have already completely merged with your Dao Body and Divine Soul. It's not an exaggeration to say that you yourself are now essentially the Human Emperor Dao Fruits."
"Only by killing you can the Human Emperor Dao Fruits within you be completely revealed."
"However…"
At this point, Xu Xing paused, then said, "Today, I am killing you for my own selfish reasons. However, I know of an Immortal Array in the Immortal World that can resurrect the dead. If you trust me, Daoist Sui, then once I reach the Immortal World, I will set up the Immortal Array and resurrect you."
