All Heavenly destiny reduced to ashes

Chapter 820: Chapter 148: The Shattered Bright Mirror Heart

"You lowly insects, did you really think you would leave here alive?"

Overlooking the intruders on Mingguang Peak, Chenyinzi’s tone was calm, but the True Lord Manifesting Holy’s fury materialized, seeping out as real flames, like the corona of the sun.

Boom.

Accompanied by a bizarre, twisting sound, even space-time broke, and in the void of that temporal crack, a vast realm of mirrored light could be glimpsed.

This was the ’Heaven and Earth Phenomenon’ caused by the slight manifestation of the Inner Array Realm power within the True Lord Manifesting Holy.

——It’s over.

All sentient beings at this moment felt a bone-chilling cold infiltrate their soul and spirit, and the fury flames that could turn them into ashes were blazing onto their bodies from mid-air.

It was a feeling far more terrifying than being targeted by a deadly ferocious beast—no, more like being stared at by a deadly Ghost God a thousand times deadlier!

At this moment, Walker Wu Ai trembled as he raised his head and saw, in the realm of light above him, a massive Giant God gazing coldly at everyone with eyes like suns and moons.

Chenyinzi raised his hand.

Spiritual Fiend was converging, in the air above Mingguang Peak, between Heaven and Earth, an endless stream of Xuanqing Light Qi was compressing, condensing into a sphere of light brighter than the sun, oscillating all things in space-time. Though for him, it might be just a casual strike, it was enough to incinerate all intruders into nothingness, body and soul, and even harm some of the Dark Hands behind them through the power link.

"It’s over. In the past, I did explore many ruins and nests left behind by Manifesting Holy or even Pure Yang, but they were either dead or their masters were away... Facing it head-on, there’s no way to resist even for a moment!"

Seeing this, Walker Wu Ai even thought, ’In my next life, I still want to do this! But will there be a next life?’ He had no thought of resistance or struggle.

Such was the terror of Manifesting Holy’s power, not of humans or ordinary heaven and earth, but akin to the collision of two worlds, the frightful power of Great Heaven and Earth intersecting with Small Worlds.

And Chenyinzi’s hand was about to fall.

"Woe, my life is over—"

Walker Wu Ai already closed his eyes, awaiting death.

But then, a voice rang out.

"Junior Brother, don’t kill them all, leave a few alive."

On the other side, Fu Jing True Lord said leisurely, the true lord with crane-like hair and childlike face, and eyes shining with Purple Qi, looking serene: "We need to figure out how they infiltrated our sect and who is behind it. We can’t just kill them all."

Agreeing with Fu Jing’s words, Chenyinzi furrowed his brows and held back slightly: "Indeed, some should be kept—so, who shall we keep?"

"It’s up to you." On the other side, Universal Brightness True Lord displayed no interest. She glanced around and was quite astonished: "It’s only been a month, and Mingguang Peak has been built in an orderly manner. Your disciple’s grandchild is indeed impressive."

"That’s why so many damned pests were attracted."

Concealing Shadow True Lord’s eyes were sharp as he looked at the Taiming Sect’s group, his gaze annihilating half of them into grey powder instantly.

After killing these ’people’, he sneered: "Taiming Sect is getting worse, only sending Ghost Gods, barely any humans."

Just like how most of the Tianyi Demon Sect’s group were artificial ’bodies’ arranged by You Patrol Envoys, Taiming Sect’s were Ghost Gods, and Shangxuan Sect’s were mostly talisman warriors.

Chenyinzi also naturally saw who was crucial. He waved his hand, and the sun’s blazing light eradicated all irrelevant ’pawns’, leaving only a few.

Being human, Walker Wu Ai was naturally among those who survived.

But before he could rejoice in surviving, Chenyinzi waved his hand again, suppressing them all into his Inner Array Realm.

"Thank you."

After doing all these, Chenyinzi turned around, his previous anger replaced by weariness, and he thanked the other three true lords: "Thank you for accompanying me on this journey, dealing with such lowly pawns, it’s quite embarrassing."

"Don’t mention it."

Fu Jing True Lord smiled warmly: "Who knows what schemes lie behind these scoundrels? Being cautious is what we should do."

"Now that we’ve captured some alive, interrogation is up to you."

"If you can’t get them to speak, leave them to me," Concealing Shadow said coldly: "My soul search methods will ensure they remember even what they’ve forgotten."

"We don’t have many years left anyway," Universal Brightness True Lord was indifferent: "Consider it the last journey, and if we can shelter the new generation, it’s worth it."

While the support of the three true lords was warm, Chenyinzi knew well in his heart.

Among these disciples, brothers, and sisters who had come with him, the closest ones... there was definitely an inner ghost.

With this thought, he sighed deeply: "We are all old... The younger generation is patrolling outside, they must have caught quite a few too. How is Brother Xiyi?"

"Senior Brother..."

Universal Brightness True Lord hesitated but eventually sighed: "Eldest Senior Brother, he is at the end of his life."

"He is the oldest among us, always the first in sect magical combats, even after all these years he’s only returned to a normal lifespan. Brother Xiyi... may be the first to leave among us."

Fu Jing True Lord showed sorrow as well, a genuine sorrow without any pretense: "Our time is ending too, thinking three thousand years was so long, yet it feels so quick..."

"Indeed, it feels especially evident this time," Universal Brightness said softly: "When master passed away, I felt the same way. If Eldest Senior Brother goes too, there will be nothing between us and death."

"Think positively."

Fu Jing True Lord, ever the optimist, shook his head and patted the shoulders of Concealing Shadow and Chenyinzi with a smile: "Our cultivation is at the peak of Manifesting Holy. If any of us breaks through, it’ll be fine. I plan to take my Lifebound Mirror Pill before I die, return to my peak state, attempt one last sublimation. If I succeed, I’ll have all the time to recover my lost foundation."

"Fu Jing speaks rightly, though it’s not for me; my heart state is not yet perfect."

Concealing Shadow nodded seriously, turning to Chenyinzi: "Chenyin, your cultivation is ahead of mine, you and Eldest Senior Brother both have a chance. Will you not try?"

This wasn’t empty talk; Chenyinzi knew.

Even if there were inner ghosts, even if some had ulterior motives for the Bright Mirror Sect, Chenyinzi knew, if any of them became the Pure Yang Heavenly Lord, inheriting Cheng Guang Ancestor’s mantle, even the deepest traitor, even the most embedded spy, would instantly turn loyal, becoming the brave warriors of the past, fearless in the face of death because there was hope.

If he chose to deceive, deceive these brothers and sisters who had journeyed with him for three millennia, telling them he had confidence to break through to Pure Yang—then at least until he failed and died, even the most reckless spy would hold their breath, waiting in hope for his result, wishing for his success.

But he couldn’t deceive himself, so he couldn’t deceive these who knew him the best.

"I’ve tried."

Chenyinzi smiled bitterly, the elderly Martial Artist casually tore open his robes, revealing his still robust but aged body.

And on that aged chest, a red crack like shattered porcelain pieces glowed with golden radiance, with red-golden blood seeping, spreading, and the fragmented mirror could be seen within the crack.
