Chapter 282 Tian Lingzi and the Mysterious Daoist Sect (Part 1)

At that time, all the sects capable of venturing into the star field led their teams to try it out, but none of them succeeded.

Despite the crowd bombarding them with magical treasures and supernatural powers, trying to uncover their mysteries with powerful formations, or using supreme secret techniques to study their essence, the mysterious Taoist sect remained completely unresponsive.

It's like an ancient, mysterious entity in the universe...

Just when everyone was at a loss and sighing in despair at this mysterious Taoist sect, a mysterious person with astonishing cultivation stepped forward and claimed that he knew a way to break through the Taoist sect.

While everyone else scoffed at the mysterious man, Tian Lingzi became excited.

For a powerful figure like Tian Lingzi, who stands at the pinnacle of the Mountain and Sea Realm, breaking through the bottleneck of the Profound Immortal Realm is incredibly difficult. Therefore, he is extremely enthusiastic about this mysterious Daoist sect that can trigger a bottleneck reaction in him.

Since the mysterious person dared to make such a boast, he must have something unique about him. Even if there's only a sliver of hope, Tian Lingzi is willing to try.

Tian Lingzi went through great lengths to find this mysterious person and made a solemn promise to him, all in order to obtain a way to break through the Dao Gate.

But the mysterious man wasn't interested, only telling him nine words—"The Heavenly Annihilation and Immortal-Slaying Array!" Then he vanished without a trace, as if evaporated from the face of the earth. Even an existence like Tian Lingzi couldn't find his trail.

This mysterious person never appeared again, as if he had left the realm of mountains and seas...

Tian Lingzi knew all too well what the Heavenly Annihilation and Immortal-Slaying Formation was. It was a formation he had created himself 20,000 years ago when he ascended to the Profound Immortal realm, based on his understanding of the Heavenly Dao.

Since its creation, Tian Lingzi had never used this formation, and no one knew about it. But the mysterious person was able to reveal its secrets in a single sentence, which greatly shocked Tian Lingzi.

While shocked by the mysterious man's origins, Tian Lingzi slowly recalled the various aspects of the great formation, and he couldn't help but let out a helpless sigh.

The primary condition for activating the Heavenly Annihilation Reverse Immortal Dao Annihilation Array is to sacrifice one billion people to obtain a massive number of souls through heaven-defying means!

Operating the formation requires immense energy at the Immortal Lord level, but in the Mountain and Sea Realm, only one prodigy, Tian Lingzi, has reached the Profound Immortal realm. How could he possibly gather such immense energy at the Immortal Lord level?

Although the formation was incredibly powerful, enough to allow him to break through 'that place' behind the bridge, the cost of this formation was simply too great for him to bear.

Tian Lingzi ultimately chose to give up; his Dao heart would not allow him to do something that violated the laws of Heaven.

And so, fifty years have passed, and people are still tirelessly exploring.

That mysterious Taoist sect gradually became a legend, a legend that no one could break.

The realm of mountains and seas remained as peaceful as ever...

But to everyone's surprise, this peace was soon shattered by Tian Lingzi in an extremely domineering and cruel manner!

The Tianling Dao Sect suddenly underwent a dramatic change. Tianlingzi seemed to have gone mad and slaughtered everyone in the sect!

After that, he single-handedly conquered all the sects in the four regions of Tianhuang Dihai.

Those who follow will live, those who oppose will die!

The world of mountains and seas is filled with blood!

All sects, summoned by Tian Lingzi, formed the "Divine Gate Alliance," ordered to slaughter all living beings in the small worlds surrounding the Mountain and Sea Realm to provide the souls needed for blood sacrifices to set up the formation.

The remnant soul that is telling the story and possessing Ling Feng's body is named Nan Wenyang, who was the sect leader of the Divine Spear Sect, a second-rate sect in the Heavenly Domain of the Mountain and Sea Realm at that time.

At the time, he was just a rogue immortal who had just broken through to the Mahayana stage. Under Tian Lingzi's ruthless methods, he obediently chose to submit and join the Divine Gate Alliance.

It was precisely because of this that Nan Wenyang had the opportunity to witness firsthand and participate in the horrific event in which the Divine Gate Alliance, under the leadership of Tian Lingzi, slaughtered people from various worlds, large and small, to collect souls.

In that short year, over 100,000 small worlds were destroyed, and more than a billion lives were slaughtered! The boundary of the Mountain and Sea Realm was stained crimson with terrifying blood energy! The ancient cultivation world was shrouded in endless darkness!

After a year, the massacre officially ended, and Tian Lingzi finally gathered the souls needed for the blood sacrifice. The next step was to go to the mysterious Taoist sect to set up and activate the formation.

All the sects conquered by Tian Lingzi thought that the Divine Alliance should be disbanded, and that they would no longer be eroded by this overwhelming evil aura, nor would they have to do those crazy things that angered the gods and the people...

But they were wrong.

Tian Lingzi forced all cultivators at the Loose Immortal level and above within the Divine Gate Alliance to accompany him to the star field where the mysterious Daoist sect was located, to jointly set up an array to break through the sect. He euphemistically called it: sharing a tremendous opportunity with cultivators from the Mountain and Sea Realm!

But everyone understood that this man, who stood at the pinnacle of the Mountain and Sea Realm and was once revered by all cultivators, had gone mad.

Now, Tian Lingzi only has that mysterious Daoist gate in his eyes. A deep-seated desire fills his heart, and everyone is helplessly dragged into this violent vortex by him!

He was no longer the support of the cultivators of the Mountain and Sea Realm, nor was he the object of their worship.

He is destroying the Mountain and Sea Realm step by step!

In the second year after the Bloodbath in the Small World, Nan Wenyang and a group of powerful cultivators who had been coerced followed Tian Lingzi to the front of the mysterious Dao Gate and began setting up an array.

A billion souls, filled with resentment and yin energy, were cruelly imprisoned like a tightly packed ball of sesame seeds in a small, transparent sphere in Tian Lingzi's hand.

That was Tian Lingzi's supreme divine power—creating a world in the palm of his hand.

He crushed the small ball and used a billion souls to inscribe the array patterns of the Heavenly Annihilation Reverse Immortal Dao Annihilation Array!

It took Tian Lingzi a full month to inscribe the array patterns, and the array finally began to activate, with countless frantically pulsating blood-red array patterns densely covering the mysterious Daoist sect!

When Tian Lingzi ordered all cultivators to inject their immortal essence into the formation, everyone realized why Tian Lingzi specifically chose cultivators at or above the Loose Immortal realm.

It turns out that this is actually a heaven-defying formation that requires an immense amount of immortal energy to operate!

No one dared to disobey Tian Lingzi's orders. Everyone had experienced that period and understood Tian Lingzi's methods.

When everyone poured their true energy into the formation, they realized they had underestimated it.

The astonishing suction force within the formation, which made it impossible to escape, and its bottomless capacity, drained the immortal essence of a cultivator at the Loose Immortal realm in just ten breaths!

Nan Wenyang's physical body was completely drained, and only his soul escaped!

Ignoring the cries for help from the crowd, Tian Lingzi frantically poured all his immortal energy into the formation!

After absorbing a vast amount of immortal energy, a fist-sized, inconspicuous "Break" character law condensed from the formation and slowly drifted towards the Daoist sect.

After a long while, the two touched, but there was no earth-shattering force as everyone had imagined; only a tiny ripple spread across the Taoist gate.

Then... the Taoist gate was actually smashed open!
