Chapter 159: Storm Brewing

ties. He held it with both hands, and his steps thundered forward like rolling drums.The broadsword swung out wildly toward Su Xin, leaving layers of phantoms in the air. Its terrifying power crushed...The Dongyan Dynasty was just an ordinary dynasty controlled by the Heavenly Palace.

Within this dynasty, there also exists a "Hall of Hundred Battles," similar to the Crimson Dragon Hall in the Heavenly Flame Dynasty, which monitors all under heaven (referring to the realm within the dynasty's borders).

A figure completely shrouded in a black robe arrived at the most important branch of Bai Zhan Lou.

Though this black-robed figure concealed their face, the faint aura emanating from them alone sent tremors through the hearts of the many Void Breakers within this Bai Zhan Tower, even including the master of the tower who possessed a Step into Nirvana cultivation base.

Immediately, the original poster personally greeted the figure in black.

I'm here to deliver some intel.

The black-robed figure simply tossed an information-recording token to the floormaster and left.

After the poster received this scroll, he wanted to check its contents but found that there was another enchantment on it, and he couldn't break through.

There was no way he could delay. He had to report this as quickly as possible.

In the end, it was still a Fourth Step Nirvana Venerable from the Winterflame Imperial Dynasty's royal family who personally intervened, breaking the seal and revealing the information contained within the order.

Upon seeing the contents, this venerable one of Nirvana was immediately startled and hurriedly reported the news to the highest level of the Heavenly Palace.

……

As one of the seventeen top powers in Donghuang, Tianshen Palace possesses five palace masters, each of whom is a hegemon-level existence in Donghuang.

Like the Five Elders of Jiusheng Mountain, these five palace masters of Tian Shen Palace generally pay little attention to matters within the palace.

Most things in the Heavenly Palace are decided by those transcendent powerhouses.

At this moment, inside an ordinary palace, Tian Heng Shengjun and Mo Xin Shengjun, two powerful transcendent beings, were seated together.

These two people have extremely high status within the Heavenly God Palace, second only to the five palace masters.

"I've already checked. Su Xin and the Four Steps Nirvana Venerable named Si Tu Feng do indeed have a deep grudge against each other. After he broke through to the Nirvana Realm, he immediately went to Jiusheng Mountain Court to apply for a life-or-death battle with Si Tu Feng."

In the Fourth Realm, it was 'Sword One', from the same camp, who killed Situ Feng. Sword One got his hidden map from Situ Feng.

"It seems that what is said in this intelligence report should be true.

"

Tianheng Shengjun and Moxin Shengjun both furrowed their brows.

As the top-tier existences second only to "Palace Master" and "Mountain Master," the two of them rarely worry about anything. However, today...

I'm sorry, there's just no way. The news on this information source is too shocking.

"Su Xin, a true dragon-level genius, the only disciple of the Sixth Mountain Master, just recently broke through to the Nirvana Realm. During his breakthrough, he caused quite a stir within the Nine Holy Mountains. It can be confirmed that the bloodline he possesses is extraordinary, possibly even a once-in-a-thousand-year divine bloodline!"

Jian Yi, a recently emerged cultivator who is currently wandering in the Fourth Realm and has reached the Second Stage of Nirvana, possesses the combat power of a Fourth Stage peak expert. He has even created his own unique skills. When he unleashes his full power, he can even put a skilled master like the Angry Axe Venerable at a disadvantage, truly dazzling everyone with his talent.

"These two peerless geniuses, could they actually be the same person"

Even when they heard the news, these two top-tier Transcendent powerhouses couldn't help but gasp in disbelief.

Su Xin and Jian Yi, any one of them revealed would be astounding.

If two people were to come together, it wouldn't just be inconceivable, it would be utterly shocking!!

Remember, Su Xin just broke through to the Nirvana Realm, and he actually disguised himself as a second-step Nirvana Realm cultivator, using Jian Yi's identity to gain such fame in the fourth realm.

He was clearly at the Nirvana Step, yet possessed the combat power of a four-step peak. He even created his own unique skills. Even five-step Nirvana Venerables couldn't do anything to him.

This is too scary!!

This matter is no longer something that you and I can decide. Go ask the Palace Master.

TIAN Heng Sheng Jun, Mo Xin Sheng Jun looked at each other.

Most things within the Heavenly Palace can be decided by the two of them, but for events that could have a huge impact on the entire Heavenly Palace, the five Palace Masters still need to make the decision personally.

But now what stands before them is simply too big.

Soon, the two went to see Zi Chen, one of the five Palace Masters, and reported everything that had happened in detail.

"Self-created unique skill"

"A little guy who just broke through the Nirvana Realm, actually created a unique skill His comprehension of sword intent is far from complete, how could he possibly create a unique skill"

"Could it be..."

The Purple Palace Master thought of a possibility and immediately made a decision.

"Kill!!"

"Before he has fully grown, before his wings are complete, kill him at all costs!"

The Purple Abyss Palace Master issued an order.

"Yes!"

Lord Tiānhéng and Lord Móxīn received their orders and left, but their hearts were filled with complex emotions.

"After painstakingly maintaining balance for millennia, it seems this time it will be broken," said the Heavenly Sovereign.

"There's nothing we can do about it. When it comes to the top positions of 'Palace Master' and 'Mountain Master', Jiusheng Mountain is already ahead of my Tianshen Palace. Our Tianshen Palace naturally cannot tolerate Jiusheng Mountain having a seventh Mountain Master," Mo Xin Shengjun said.

They also understand that the Palace Master of Zi Chen made this decision out of true helplessness.

Jiusheng Mountain and Tian Shen Palace are both top-tier forces, and they are located in the same territory. It is normal for these two top-tier forces to fight each other crazily.

Both sides still maintain a certain degree of restraint in many aspects, to be precise, they are maintaining a kind of balance.

For example, on the Qingxuan Battlefield, only those at the Nirvana Realm fight each other. Transcendent Realm experts wouldn't participate unless there were enormous benefits involved. Even then, transcendent experts from both sides rarely engage in combat.

After all, there are many strong cultivators in the Nirvana Realm on both sides. Even if a batch dies, it's nothing.

Those who can transcend the strong are true pillars, and even if one dies, it is a huge loss for both sides.

Even among some powerful geniuses, there is an unspoken understanding that they won't deliberately target or assassinate each other, as that would benefit neither party.

At most, he would only put the name of this genius on a bounty list, allowing his subordinates to try their best to kill this genius on the battlefield.

For example, Su Xin...

The Heavenly Palace had long known through various intelligence means that Su Xin was a true dragon-level genius, and that he had joined the Sixth Mountain Master's sect. They even knew that his bloodline was extraordinary, possibly even divine. However, despite all this, the Heavenly Palace had not taken any action against Su Xin before.

After all, a genius is just a genius.

Even if it's a True Dragon level, even if it's a once-in-a-millennium divine bloodline, it only means they have a high probability of transcending in the future.

But wanting to become a high-ranking 'Mountain Master' or 'Palace Master' is still very difficult.

...and even if it meant only adding one transcendent powerhouse, even an extremely powerful existence among transcendent powerhouses, the Heavenly Palace could accept it.

Now that Su Xin Na's 'Jian Yi' identity has been exposed, things are completely different.

Just after breaking through the Nirvana realm, he created his own unique skills, making even those in the five-step Nirvana realm helpless. Such a monstrous talent, as long as he grows up, it's almost certain that he will become 'Mountain Master' or 'Palace Master'.

Tenjin Palace can tolerate another powerful Transcendent expert from the Nine Sacred Mountains.

But absolutely could not tolerate Mount Jiusheng having another 'Mountain Master'.

So, even if it means breaking the balance that has lasted for millennia, Su Xin must be eliminated beforehand!

If we're going to make a move, we absolutely can't give him any chance. Su Xin is currently in the Fourth Realm. We can immediately arrange for powerful individuals to go there," Heavenly Sovereign Tianheng said.

The Demon Heart Saint nodded slightly and said, "After we make our move, the Nine Sacred Mountain will definitely retaliate crazily. We also need to notify those powerful individuals within my Heavenly God Palace who possess extremely high talent and potential. For a period of time, they don't need to venture into the battlefield. Those who are already on the battlefield should return immediately."

Once the balance is broken, our battle with Mount Jiusheng will become even more frenzied, and all sorts of means will be employed.

Besides, Su Xin was the only disciple of the Sixth Mountain Master. Although the Sixth Mountain Master had only become the master recently, it is said that his strength was not weak. With Su Xin's death, it is hard to guarantee he wouldn't cause a big stir. We also need to be on guard.

Heavenly Lord Tiān Héng and Demon Lord Mó Xīn began to discuss and prepare carefully.

Just one day later...

The Azure Abyss Battlefield's core, and the first realm with the highest concentration of powerful individuals.

Above a patch of dim nothingness, two figures dashed swiftly forward, soon arriving in the midst of a pitch-black swamp.

Ahead, dense clouds obscured the vision, within them faint flashes of lightning flickered.

The two people didn't wait long before a man bearing a blood-red battle knife and exuding an aura of boundless killing intent emerged from the dark clouds, like a living embodiment of a cold and ruthless god of death.

His appearance caused the surrounding void to become completely frigid.

The invisible terror and murderous intent permeated the air, even the two Five Steps Peak Venerables present felt a chill run down their spines.

"Met Blood Saber King!"

The two Fifth Step Pinnacle Venerables waiting here immediately bowed, with respect.

The Blood Blade King, a member of the Heavenly God Palace camp, was among the top three most powerful Six-Step Venerable masters who had created unique techniques!

Not to mention within the Qingxuan Domain, even throughout the entire Dong荒 land, this Blood Blade King has a great reputation.

It is said that this Blood Knife King is qualified to be on the legendary Venerable List.

His power was such that countless Fifth Step Pinnacle Venerables, including many Sixth Step Venerables, could only look up in awe.

Fire, Nine Battles

Blood Knife King's gaze was cold as he looked at the two people in front of him, "I already know what happened, but it's just to kill a mere second-step Nirvana realm cultivator. With the two of you making a move, it would be enough. Why do I need to come here specially"

The two Five-Step Peak Venerables, Huo Fen and Jiu Zhan, both awkwardly smiled when they heard this.

The Burning Fire Venerable said: “Blood Knife King, you have been wandering in the First Realm and don’t know that although Jian Yi is only at the Second Step Nirvana Realm, his methods are extremely extraordinary. Many Fifth Step Nirvana Realm cultivators can’t do anything to him. Even my two with Jiu Zhan personally made a move, there’s no absolute certainty that we could kill him, so I let you take action yourself.”

Moreover, the order to kill Jian Yi came directly from the Palace Master of Zi Shen Palace. It was a very important matter indeed.

"The command given personally by the Palace Master of Zichen Palace" Blood Knife King was startled, and no longer refused.

Then, let's just head out directly.

Immediately, these three venerable masters, whose strength was extremely powerful, went directly to the Fourth Realm.

And at this moment, Su Xin was still with Ge Meng and the others in that secret space, deciphering the prohibition. Despite the impending storm, he remained oblivious to it.

……rother and sister duo, also walked over. Although he was complaining on his lips, deep down in his heart, he knew very well that his combat power among those at the peak of the Void Breaking stage was...
