Chapter 251: Seclusion, To The 9th Heavenly Layer!
Ancestor Chi Yuan!
Ever since the establishment of the Dark Source Sect, in terms of strength, he’s at least ranked in the top five. Only the Founding Father of the Dark Source Sect and a very few others could overpower Ancestor Chi Yuan!
But such a terrifying powerhouse, who was able to dominate overseas, ended up dying. His Divine Sense couldn’t even escape and his soul was destroyed.
If the gray-haired man and the others who were watching the battle from far outside Chang’an City were merely shocked, then Ancestor Xue Xin and the Ancestor of the Myriad Sword Sect were completely panicked.
“This can’t be!”
“How could Ancestor Chi Yuan die? How could he have died?”
The Myriad Sword Sect’s Ancestor seemed to have lost his soul, as he said with a trembling voice.
At this moment, the Myriad Sword Sect’s Ancestor only had one thought in his mind, what should they do now that Ancestor Chi Yuan was dead?
If even Ancestor Chi Yuan couldn’t stop Su Qin, how could the two of them (with Ancestor Xue Xin) face Su Qin?
Both Ancestors had never once thought that Su Qin would spare them.
“Chi Yuan…”
Ancestor Xue Xin’s face was ashen.
Su Qin, on the other hand, merely looked at the location where Ancestor Chi Yuan was burned into nothingness. His expression remained calm.
The Ancestor Chi Yuan was indeed very strong, but he made an extremely foolish decision to use Death Energy against Su Qin.
The black cloud made of Death Energy was indeed bizarre enough to completely suppress ordinary Peak Legends, but in Su Qin’s eyes, it was nothing.
Su Qin had mastered more than a thousand techniques and acquired numerous knowledge, how could he have not encountered at least one such technique to counter Yin Qi and Death Energy?
This was especially true after Su Qin took the first step in the [Burning Sun Divine Art]. He now had the wisp of the flames belonging to the Three-legged Golden Crow.
With the [Nine Yang Divine Art]’s fire and the wisp from the Three-legged Golden Crow, even if his fire was far inferior to the true fire of the sun, burning things such as Death Energy was as simple as drinking water and eating.
If Ancestor Chi Yuan did not use such a method, he would not have died instantly. At least, he’ll still be able to struggle a few times. It was him who voluntarily let the black cloud enveloped Su Qin before eventually burning into nothingness.
After all, although the [Nine Yang Divine Art] was certainly powerful, the premise was that it must have contact with the target to burn him/her. Once Ancestor Chi Yuan decided to approach Su Win, his end was set in stone.
“Run!”
While Su Qin was in his thoughts, Ancestor Xue Xin and Myriad Sword Sect’s Ancestor turned into shadows. They burned their vitality and Divine Sense, rushing towards overseas at an extremely terrifying speed.
Now that Ancestor Chi Yuan had fallen, no matter how foolish they were, they could not possibly think that they were Su Qin’s opponent. Hence, both Ancestors retreated at almost the same time.
They even fled in opposite directions, just to waste more of Su Qin’s time and buy them time.
If the two of them scattered, Su Qin could only choose one direction, even if he pursued them. It was like buying a lot of time for the other one.
“You won’t be able to escape.”
Su Qin’s right hand grabbed towards the void and once again pulled out the Demon God’s Blade. He then sent two slashes towards the direction of the two Ancestors.
[Buzz~]!!!
Terrifying sword lights seemed to have created a spatial gap and disappeared instantly.
At this moment, as Su Qin’s strength skyrocketed, the might of the Demon God’s Blade also steeply rose, far exceeding the might of Su Qin’s slash in the Cave World.
“No!!!”
Ancestor Xue Xin’s heart trembled and she could not help, but look back. At this time, she saw the sword light coming towards her.
Facing possible death, Ancestor Xue Xin decisively abandoned her body and fled with her Divine Sense, speeding up.
“Arise!!!”
Su Qin used this same sword strike to cut through Ancestor Chi Yuan’s domain. If even the domain could not stop this strike, how could she?
Ancestor Xue Xin’s qi and blood were already decaying, her lifespan was about to end. Now that she gave up her body, even if she survived, she would only be able to live for a few months. Nonetheless, Ancestor Xue Xin still did it.
It’s because she wanted to spread the matter of Su Qin’s strength back to the Snow God Palace.
Unfortunately, despite Ancestor Xue Xin giving up her body, she could still not escape the sword light. Around the Eastern Sea area, Ancestor Xue Xin’s Divine Sense was slashed into two, the sword light stirred up the waves.
The Myriad Sword Sect’s Ancestor also suffered the same fate. He was cut in two by the sword light and all of his Divine Sense’s power dissipated under the terrifying abyssal strength of the sword light.
Ancestor Xue Xin died.
The Myriad Sword Sect’s Ancestor had also died.
Together with the already dead Ancestor Chi Yuan, the three Ancestors, who came to the continent, all had died.

Outside Chang’an City.
The gray-haired man was trembling. Although from the beginning to the end, Su Qin did not sweep a glance at them, the gray-haired man still felt chills that seeped deep in his bones.
“Three Peak Legends have died, including a Peak Legend like Ancestor Chi Yuan who had condensed a domain. This, this event will shock the Heavens….”
The gray-haired man felt his teeth chattering.
When the rest of the Legends heard this, a feeling of sympathy arose in their hearts.
Whether it was Ancestor Chi Yuan, Ancestor Xue Xin, or that Ancestor from the Myriad Sword Sect, they were all Peak Legends. Yet, they had all fallen here, just like that.
“The battlefield is too dangerous.”
The gray-haired man muttered to himself, his face turning white.
Even overseas where there were many Legends, the death of a Peak Legend was an event that did not happen in a hundred years. It would also usually involve the complete fall out of two Major Sects, not to mention the fall of three Peak Legends.
It can be said that this only occurs in a prosperous era, where there were numerous Legends and Major Sects competing with each other.
After all, what kind of an existence was a Peak Legend? They were enough to become the foundation of Major Sects. Even if their lifespan was nearing its end, they could use techniques to delay it.
In short, the death of three Peak Legends in such a short period of time was nearly impossible.
But now, they had just arrived at the battlefield and witnessed this scene. Under such circumstances, if the battlefield was not considered dangerous, what place was not dangerous?
With the death of three Legends, there might be implications of the future if the inheritance of the Major Sects were involved.
Thinking of this, the gray-haired man and the rest of the Legends immediately had the idea that it was better to just go back.
Back overseas, with their strength, as long as they do not provoke the Major Sects, at least they would not worry of dying…
However, who could guarantee that they could leave here alive?

At the same time above the walls of Chang’an City.
The Old Taoist was dumbfounded.
“That’s it?”
The Old Taoist was incredulous.
He originally thought that when Ancestor Chi Yuan and Su Qin fought, the two would constantly clash, but now…
Before the Old Taoist could even react, Ancestor Chi Yuan had already died!
Then, Ancestor Xue Xin and the Myriad Sword Sect’s Ancestor had also died right after.
How could this be possible?!
Emperor Li Sheng looked at the Old Taoist in an odd manner. Just now, what the Old Taoist said had really scared him. But seeing this scene, Emperor Li Sheng seemed to have been worried for nothing.
Ruan Qing and Yan Hai also wore similar expressions with the Old Taoist. Emperor Li Sheng had never been overseas and did not know the strength of the various Major Sect’s Ancestors, but they were originally from overseas so how could they not be clear about this?
“Master… Master is really too strong…” Yan Hai swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said.
“Yes…”
Ruan Qing, who was next to him, also kept nodding his head.
They were quick to accept the fact in front of them. The Ancestors were certainly as strong as deities in their respective Major Sects, but Su Qin was stronger. Thinking of it like this, Ruan Qing and Yan Hai became much more relaxed.
Only the Old Taoist was still left shocked.
“This is not possible…. Ancestor Chi Yuan… Dark Source Sect….”
Finally, the Old Taoist let out a long sigh: “The Dark Source Sect has really suffered a major loss this time…”
For a Major Sect like the Dark Source Sect, even if their Sect Master died, in the end, it wouldn’t affect their roots.
But the fall of an existence like Ancestor Chi Yuan was a huge concern. This was related to their foundation, so how could it not be a problem?

At this time, after Su Qin killed the Ancestors, he looked in several other directions with deep meaning in his gaze.
“There are still three Peak Legends….”
Su Qin pondered for a moment and chose to ignore them.
These three Peak Legends that Su Qin sensed had a very unfamiliar aura. They were not people from the Snow God Palace, the Myriad Sword Sect, nor the Dark Source Sect.
These Legends had no enmity or grudge against Su Qin, so as long as they did not take the initiative to provoke trouble, Su Qin would not bother to make a move against them.
“It’s time to go back.”
Su Qin’s mind moved and he returned within the palace under the shocked gazes of everyone.
“Third Brother.”
Emperor Li Sheng immediately greeted him.
The Old Taoist, Yan Hai, Ruan Qing and others likewise gathered around.
“It’s done.”
“I’ll be entering seclusion in the next few years, so if there’s nothing urgent, don’t bother me.”
Su Qin casually said a few words before announcing.
Now that his aura was nearly complete, it was time for him to step into the 9th Heavenly Layer.
Once Su Qin stepped into the 9th Heavenly Layer, with the large amount of Primordial Spirit Pills that he had, he’ll be able to transform his Divine Sense into a Primordial Spirit in a short period of time.
Once he condenses his Primordial Spirit, Su Qin’s battle power will soar again. At that time, with all his other trump cards, only a true Earth Immortal could compete with him.
“Seclusion?”
The Old Taoist was dumbfounded.
The strength that Su Qin had just shown was already astonishing. Even overseas, there were not many that could match Su Qin. But Su Qin was going into seclusion again?
Generally speaking, going into seclusion means an imminent or critical breakthrough. In the eyes of the old Taoist, with Su Qin’s current strength, if he had further broken through, won’t he reach the Earth Immortal Realm?
