"You motherfuckers."
Inside the Void Refining Space, Li Wei once again faced the deceased Zhao Tingyu; this time, however, there was another person present—Zhao Buqun.
Li Wei's expression was dark with rage.
The red veins, visible only to him and Li Yaowen, were piercing into his temples; he now knew everything.
When they stormed into the Zhao Clan grounds, they knew the clan must hold a secret; otherwise, trash like them could never have survived for one hundred and sixty thousand years.
They had even assumed the Zhao Clan was using some method to resurrect their Old Ancestor.
Yet, they never imagined that over these one hundred and sixty thousand years, the greatest victim of the Immortal Zhao Clan wasn't the people whose Destiny was devoured, but the Old Ancestor himself.
Zhao Buqun's formation did not merely devour the Destiny of others; it was simultaneously suppressing the Zhao Clan Old Ancestor.
That Fairy Bai used her spiritual power to maintain the formation.
As for Zhao Jingmiao, he used the spiritual plants cultivated throughout the entire Immortal Domain to suppress the memories of the Zhao clansmen, preventing people like Zhao Qingguang from knowing the truth.
And then there was Zhao Feimeng, who had never shown herself before; she was using illusions to suppress the Zhao Clan Old Ancestor, exploiting him for their own ends.
"Thump! Thump! Thump!" The heartbeat sounded again.
It was the Zhao Clan Old Ancestor crying out for help.
"I told you, you're done for!"
Zhao Tingyu revived once more, donning simple garments, and stared mockingly at the Li Clan Old Ancestor before him.
"Laughable Li Clan Old Ancestor... compared to my family's Old Ancestor, you are nothing!!!"
"Sigh." Zhao Buqun let out a sigh of pity.
"You of the Azure Cloud Li Clan... you tried every means to separate and kill my Zhao clansmen, tried every means to use that sort of military warfare to slaughter my Zhao people.
Yet, you did not know that all of it was futile.
My Zhao Clan Old Ancestor is a divine being; this is a secret even the Human Emperor did not know when he exterminated my Zhao Clan back then.
Now... we have no choice but to slaughter every last person of the Azure Cloud Prefecture."
"I'll kill your mother!!!"
Li Wei could no longer suppress the rage burning in his heart. "One Thought!"
This time, Zhao Tingyu possessed no artifacts to protect his body.
In the span of a single thought, when Li Wei reappeared, his spear had already pierced through Zhao Tingyu's heart!
However, Zhao Tingyu no longer showed his previous panic.
Instead, he death-gripped Li Wei's North Star Spirit-Breaking Spear.
Though Zhao Tingyu's flesh and soul were being ravaged by the Tianshu Spirit-Suppressing Spear, he still sneered at Li Wei with a pale face.
"Impressive skill. But so what if you kill me?
My Immortal Zhao Clan has never before obtained this much Destiny from the heavens and earth.
My clansmen can revive ten times, a hundred times!"
As the words fell, Zhao Tingyu—truly unafraid of death—tightly embraced Li Wei.
Zhao Buqun had already unleashed his technique.
"BOOM!"
With a deafening explosion, the body of the Li Clan Old Ancestor was completely annihilated within the killing formation.
...
"Regroup the army! Do not be afraid! If we can kill them once, we can kill them a second time!"
"Form the array!"
On the battlefield, Li Tianyue, Li Xinghuo, and Li Xinnian wore grim expressions as they commanded the forces of the Azure Cloud Prefecture.
Every single member of the Azure Cloud Prefecture present was trembling with fear.
Even Li Yunlin and the others, who had charged into the heart of the battle, were pale-faced, forced to grit their teeth and fight on.
Having killed the Li Clan Old Ancestor, Zhao Buqun floated into the air, gazing down at the battlefield of the Immortal Domain.
Upon the Old Ancestor's heart, slits tore open once again, and clansmen crawled out from within.
Zhao Tingyu appeared by his side once more.
Zhao Tingyu donned fresh robes, stretching his muscles and bones with a face full of mockery.
"That Li Clan Old Ancestor possesses Time Laws; he is truly difficult to deal with.
However, he is far inferior to our Old Ancestor.
What our Old Ancestor bestows upon us... is new life."
"This is my Zhao Clan's greatest secret."
Zhao Buqun's gaze pierced through the void, spotting Li Dalong wielding the Heaven-Piercing Coffin and charging toward the Heart.
He frowned.
"We cannot leave anyone here alive.
Kill them all quickly.
We will then proceed to the Azure Cloud Prefecture, devour their Destiny, and hide our names and bury our identities for a thousand years to plan for the future."
"Yes..."
Zhao Tingyu had just responded casually when both of their expressions suddenly changed.
They saw the spirit tablets of the Li clan floating into the air.
Before the eyes of Zhao Buqun and Zhao Tingyu, black mist coalesced once again.
Zhao Buqun narrowed his eyes slightly.
He sensed a familiar aura—the aura of that Li Clan Old Ancestor from just moments ago.
"You can come back from the dead too?!!"
The Yin-Yang Diagram, the North Star Spirit-Breaking Spear, the Pagoda, and the Saber appeared.
Li Wei glanced at the two Zhao clansmen, then looked toward the battlefield and gritted his teeth.
"I'm going to fuck you bunch of unfilial descendants to death!!!"
"Hmph! I'd like to see just how many times you can live..."
Zhao Buqun snorted coldly, but then his expression suddenly turned to panic.
Every member of the Zhao Clan reacted the same way.
"BOOM!"
A series of booming explosions rang out continuously.
On the ground, the high towers of the Zhao Clan were being destroyed one by one!
Suddenly, a surge of monstrous, devilish Qi appeared, charging in from the distance.
With a single saber strike, it slashed through a row of the Zhao Clan's towers.
Seven burly men, built like iron towers, transformed into devilish forms and rampaged through the crowd, focusing solely on toppling the towers.
"Devils... Devils!!!"
Zhao Buqun's expression turned ghastly.
He could not forget the time his family was exterminated for the first time.
Just then.
Standing in the air above that colossal heart was a handsome man with eyes of pure white.
"Suppress!"
As he extended his hand...
"Thump! Thump!"
The beating sound of that massive heart came to an abrupt halt.
"The Human Emperor... that is the Eye of the Human Emperor!" Zhao Tingyu trembled all over.
During the family's second extermination, they hadn't even had a chance to react.
Had the Human Emperor not viewed them as mere ants, even their Old Ancestor's heart would not have escaped!
In that split second of distraction, the Li Clan Old Ancestor's spear pierced into Zhao Tingyu's heart once again.
"You faced extermination twice before, but this time, I will make sure you cease to exist entirely!" Li Wei roared.
He was truly enraged.
As an Old Ancestor himself, no one understood the tragedy of the Zhao Clan Old Ancestor better than he did.
"If the Heavens won't punish you beasts, then I will!"
