Chapter 1050 1050 The Celestial Maiden of the Other Shore
In the void, that minor celestial lord was sent flying back a thousand zhang.
The bone at his brow split open, blood flowing freely.
This meant his primordial spirit had suffered severe damage.
Had his cultivation not been a step above Jun Xiaoyao's.
At the same level, his primordial spirit would have been annihilated by Jun Xiaoyao's Three-Life Primordial Spirit without question.
The middle-aged man's eyes filled with panic.
He had never imagined that Jun Xiaoyao's primordial spirit would be just as terrifying as his heaven-defying physical body.
The Chaos Physique's physical strength — that he could understand.
But for the primordial spirit to also be the exceedingly rare Three-Life Primordial Spirit — that was something the middle-aged man could never have anticipated.
"Those who block my path will pay the price."
Jun Xiaoyao's expression was cold and indifferent as a deity, and he charged at the middle-aged man once more.
The middle-aged man's primordial spirit had been gravely wounded, and his physical body was no match for Jun Xiaoyao either.
Even in terms of law-based divine abilities, Jun Xiaoyao was not the slightest bit weaker than this minor celestial lord.
So he had no will to fight at all, and turned to flee in haste.
"Clan Uncle!"
Lan Die and the other prodigies cried out in shock, unable to believe what they were witnessing.
A minor celestial lord, fleeing like a dog before a supreme being.
Who would believe it if word got out?
Jun Xiaoyao glanced at Lan Die and the others from the corner of his eye.
With a casual wave of his hand.
A surging tide of Chaos Qi swept forward like a great wave.
Lan Die and the others didn't even have time to cry out before their figures were swallowed by the Chaos Qi.
Their physical bodies and primordial spirits were ground to dust and obliterated within the Chaos Qi.
The prodigies of the Other Shore Prince's lineage were wiped out in an instant.
"This..."
The middle-aged man's expression twisted at the sight, a hint of regret flickering in his eyes.
Had he known, he would never have acted on impulse and come seeking revenge.
After all, most of the clan members of the blue other shore flower lineage had advised against making an enemy of Jun Xiaoyao again.
Jun Xiaoyao's expression remained indifferent, the supreme divine blood within him surging, multiplying his power several times over.
He directly summoned the Daluo Sword Embryo, unleashing one of the Five Great Divine Arts — the Heaven-Severing Art!
A vast, ten-thousand-zhang golden sword radiance tore through the boundless void, slashing down toward the middle-aged man.
With his other hand, Jun Xiaoyao reached out into the void once more.
The Fourth Seal of the Immortal-Binding Art — the Space-Sealing Seal — was unleashed.
With Jun Xiaoyao's current strength, executing the Fourth Seal required no prior preparation whatsoever.
He directly locked down the void ahead.
Though this move, against a minor celestial lord, might only hold for a single instant.
But in a battle at the seventh level of the supreme realm, even a single instant was enough to decide victory or defeat.
Just at that moment.
A faint, ethereal female voice rang out.
"Young Master Xiaoyao, please stay your hand."
In the distant sky, clusters of other shore flowers bloomed.
However, they were not blue — they were other shore flowers as vivid red as fire.
Those were the flowers of the true, orthodox Other Shore Clan!
And within the sea of crimson other shore flowers, a silhouette of breathtaking, dreamlike beauty emerged.
Her skin was luminous, like white jade, her eyes bright and sparkling with radiance.
She wore a flowing white gauze dress, ethereal and graceful, like a fairy of the Moon Palace, an immortal exiled beneath the moonlight.
She carried an air of transcendence, as though she stood apart from all worldly strife.
One could only imagine what an enchanting sight it was — a woman of such dreamlike beauty, stepping through a rain of petals amid a sea of other shore flowers.
But Jun Xiaoyao's expression did not change in the slightest.
Nor was he affected in any way.
He still brought his sword down, cleaving the middle-aged man's body apart.
Then the Daluo Sword Embryo shot forward like lightning, piercing through the man's skull and extinguishing the primordial spirit within.
The woman was clearly taken aback for a moment.
She had not expected Jun Xiaoyao to pay her no mind whatsoever, completely ignoring her words.
A minor celestial lord had fallen.
Slain at Jun Xiaoyao's hands.
Yet there was not the slightest trace of pride on Jun Xiaoyao's face.
This man was nothing more than a mediocre figure even among minor celestial lords.
If it had been a minor celestial lord with truly solid foundations, Jun Xiaoyao might not have been able to kill so cleanly and decisively.
Having dealt with these obstacles, Jun Xiaoyao's gaze finally turned toward the woman in the sea of flowers.
Very beautiful. Strikingly so.
Jun Xiaoyao's expression remained calm as he said offhandedly, "My apologies — I couldn't hold back in time."
Like I'd believe that!
The woman very much wanted to say so, but on the surface she still revealed a dreamlike smile. "This humble one is the Heavenly Maiden of the Other Shore Clan — Meng Nu'er."
Jun Xiaoyao gave a slight nod, his guess about her identity having been close to the mark.
Meng Nu'er, the Heavenly Maiden of the Other Shore Clan, was quite renowned in the foreign realm as well, and was counted among the Seven Minor Emperors.
She too had yet to make her appearance in the world until now.
Among the Seven Minor Emperors, Meng Nu'er was absolutely one of the most deeply-rooted existences.
The Other Shore Clan was itself an exceptionally mysterious imperial clan.
"Miss Meng, could it be that you wish to avenge them?" Jun Xiaoyao said.
"Ah, they were simply blind to what was before them. Our Other Shore Clan has no desire to make an enemy of you, Young Master." Meng Nu'er smiled faintly, her beauty enough to topple kingdoms.
Given Jun Xiaoyao's current backing, even an immortal imperial clan would have to think twice.
If they could avoid offending him, they certainly would.
At this moment, Xuan Yue also came to Jun Xiaoyao's side.
"You really have good fortune, to have encountered such a kind person as the Young Master." Meng Nu'er glanced at Xuan Yue and said.
Without Jun Xiaoyao, Xuan Yue would likely have been unable to escape death.
At that time, Meng Nu'er had not yet emerged into the world, and so had been unable to stop the Other Shore Prince from killing Xuan Yue.
"Am I welcome to visit the Other Shore Clan?" Jun Xiaoyao said with a slight smile.
"Of course you are. I came here precisely to welcome you, Young Master." Meng Nu'er smiled.
"Oh?" A flicker passed through Jun Xiaoyao's eyes.
"Perhaps, Young Master, you and our Other Shore Clan share a special bond — who can say." Meng Nu'er spoke with a meaningful tone.
This only deepened Jun Xiaoyao's suspicion that there was a secret within the Other Shore Imperial Clan.
Afterward, Meng Nu'er led Jun Xiaoyao and Xuan Yue toward the ancestral grounds of the Other Shore Imperial Clan.
Along the way, not a single person came to obstruct them.
As for the blue other shore flower lineage, they clearly had no choice but to swallow this grievance in silence.
Before long, Jun Xiaoyao arrived at the ancestral grounds of the Other Shore Clan.
Looking out, vast stretches of other shore flowers bloomed in full splendor.
Various palace structures floated suspended in the void.
There were few living beings coming and going, but upon seeing Jun Xiaoyao, all of them cast curious glances his way.
Jun Xiaoyao noticed that some among them also wore ghost-face masks.
"These masks..." Jun Xiaoyao said.
"These ghost-face masks are something of a totem for our clan — a form of reverence and veneration for the Paramount." Meng Nu'er explained.
"The Paramount?" Jun Xiaoyao was curious.
"The origin of our Other Shore lineage, the founding ancestor we devoutly enshrine, the pillar of our clan, and the object of our spiritual faith."
When she spoke of the Paramount, Meng Nu'er's face carried an expression of sacred devotion and reverence.
"Might I ask the name of the Paramount?"
Jun Xiaoyao was curious, and had a vague feeling that the karmic ties of the ghost-faced woman were likely connected to the Paramount of the Other Shore Clan.
"The Paramount of our clan is known as the Mother of Other Shore Flowers." Meng Nu'er said.
"The Mother of Other Shore Flowers..."
Jun Xiaoyao murmured to himself.
Just from the name alone, it was clear this must be a tremendously powerful figure.
After all, the Other Shore Imperial Clan in the foreign realm was both mysterious and flourishing, seemingly a cut above ordinary immortal imperial clans.
Comparable to the Black Heaven lineage at the height of its power in its day.
One could say it was an absolutely supreme clan, second only to the ultimate imperial clans.
"I wonder if I might have the honor of meeting the Mother of Other Shore Flowers in person?" Jun Xiaoyao's interest was piqued.
"You wish to meet the Paramount?"
Meng Nu'er was somewhat surprised.
