Chapter 305: You… Are Her Master?
"It's him… Li Xun!"
Within the Spirit Clan, quite a few people had seen Li Xun's appearance before. Seeing him appear here today, many of them felt their minds go blank on the spot.
At this point in time, shouldn't Li Xun still be on his way to the Abyssal Demons Burial Ground?
More than a year had passed, judging by the distance from the Crape Myrtle Holy Land to the Abyssal Demons Burial Ground, Li Xun should have only just arrived in its vicinity at most. So why had he appeared here instead?
One had to know, between the Crape Myrtle Holy Land and the Spirit Clan ancient star lay no small distance at all.
"You… are her master?"
The Spirit Clan's Grand Elder seemed to realize something. He looked at the seven-colored blazing sun in the sky, then at the calm, unhurried Li Xun below. A storm surged violently within his heart.
"Yes." Li Xun nodded lightly.
Just that one simple word was like an enormous mountain pressing down upon the hearts of countless members of the Spirit Clan.
The master of a Saint King, what an exalted status that was!
They had considered countless possibilities, yet this was the one they had never imagined. If the master of that Saint King was truly Li Xun, then everything that had previously seemed inexplicable now made perfect sense.
Perhaps the Saints of the Xiao Clan and the Spirit Clan who had fallen within the Abyssal Demons Burial Ground had not encountered some great terror within that forbidden land, but had instead encountered Li Xun!
With the assistance of a Saint King, the time it took Li Xun to reach the Abyssal Demons Burial Ground would be far shorter than they had anticipated. After all, an existence at the Saint King level could already traverse the void itself.
Distances of millions of li would take them only a few brief moments.
"Our clan's Saint, and the Xiao Clan's Saint—" the Spirit Clan's Grand Elder's teeth were chattering as he spoke with great difficulty. But before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Li Xun's soft chuckle.
"—The two of them—including your Clan Patriarch—are already waiting for you on the road to the underworld."
As soon as these words were spoken, the Spirit Clan's entire ancestral land fell into deathly silence.
It seemed that the fall of those two Saints had indeed not been due to the Abyssal Demons Burial Ground itself, but because they had encountered Li Xun. Before this, no one could have imagined that Li Xun commanded a Saint King beneath him.
Being caught completely off guard was only to be expected.
"Li Xun, you have gone too far."
From the Spirit Clan's back mountains, atop a towering peak, the Spirit Clan's peak stage Saint abruptly opened his eyes. A terrifying aura swept out, causing the heavens and earth to tremble as everyone's hearts shook in fear.
They were a pair of hollow eyes, devoid of any light—like two black holes capable of devouring one's soul. Cold and merciless, deep and ashen, they held not the slightest trace of human emotion.
Behind him, a massive mountain collapsed. Divine radiance erupted in all directions. Following the emergence of one Sacred Weapon earlier, yet another fearsome divine armament soared into the sky from within the Spirit Clan, its brilliance shining across the heavens.
This was a Sacred King Weapon, the Spirit Clan's true foundation.
With a Sacred King Weapon in hand, he might not be able to contend directly with a true Saint King expert, but he could at least hold on for some time.
As long as he could delay the opponent, the Xiao Clan's experts would soon arrive.
When that time came, who would win and who would lose was still uncertain.
After all, the Xiao Clan was no ordinary force.
Their clan's foundation was unimaginably deep. How many old monsters were hidden within it—no one could say for sure. If one or two powerful figures were to step out at random, they would not be existences that ordinary people, or even ordinary factions, could hope to compare with.
"Gone too far?"
"Everything that happened in the Abyssal Demons Burial Ground—you may not have been there in person, but you should at least know something about it."
"Isn't today's outcome simply the result of your Spirit Clan bringing this upon yourselves?"
Li Xun's gaze swept over the Spirit Clan's several Saints. He paid no attention to the Sacred King Weapon they had brought forth. Instead, he turned to Xiao Fan and the other and said calmly:
"You two, why are you still standing there?"
"Big Brother!"
"Immortal!"
Jiang Taixuan emerged from hiding, and together with Xiao Fan, the two of them rose into the sky. Even now, they felt as if they were still dreaming. Just moments ago, they had already been prepared to fight to the death.
Although the two of them had prepared some backup measures, to be honest, they had little confidence that those methods could truly help them escape a Saint's pursuit.
A Saint was no ordinary existence.
Given their respective strengths—one at the Life and Death Realm, the other at the Divine Palace Realm—it wouldn't take much. A single Saint would be more than enough to push them into utter despair.
But what they never expected was that, at the very last moment, Li Xun would actually arrive.
More importantly, Li Xun had brought a Saint King with him.
With that, the situation on the field instantly reversed. If the Spirit Clan failed to produce an expert of the same level, then today, the Spirit Clan would be in grave danger.
Up to now, no Saint King had stepped forward from within the Spirit Clan. Many people had long suspected that the Spirit Clan might not possess a Saint King at all.
"Big Brother, how did you suddenly come here?" Xiao Fan asked curiously.
"What do you think?"
Li Xun replied with a faint smile, casting a meaningful glance at both Xiao Fan and Jiang Taixuan.
"So that's how it is."
Sensing Li Xun's gaze, Xiao Fan immediately understood. He gave Jiang Taixuan a deep look, feeling a bit surprised in his heart—this thick-browed, honest-looking fellow had actually been secretly sending word behind his back.
Only if Jiang Taixuan had informed Li Xun in advance could his big brother have arrived at such a critical moment.
Thinking of this, Xiao Fan's reverence for Li Xun rose unconsciously yet another level. Every time he faced mortal danger, it was always Big Brother who arrived in time to resolve the crisis for him.
If it weren't for Big Brother, he would probably have already fallen back in Tianyuan City long ago, there was no way he could have achieved what he had today.
"Huang Xi, the Spirit Clan no longer needs to exist."
After exchanging just a few words with Xiao Fan and the others, Li Xun raised his head and issued the order in a calm, indifferent tone.
"Yes, Master." Huang Xi responded.
In the sky, that blazing sun grew even more resplendent. It pressed down toward the star below, radiating boundless divine might. Faintly, one could see a divine phoenix spreading its wings, roaming across the nine heavens.
Boom!
A colossal divine phoenix phantom stretched across tens of thousands of miles of the void, then crashed violently onto the ancient star below. With a thunderous roar, the entire star shook violently.
Looking out, one could see a terrifying circular shockwave appear above the star, spreading rapidly in all directions. Wherever the shockwave passed, mountains shattered, ancient trees snapped, seas flowed backward—an apocalyptic scene.
Countless massive cracks spread across the entire ancient star. In an instant, the star became riddled with holes and on the verge of collapse, as if it might fall apart at any moment.
If someone beneath the void were gazing into the starry sky at this time, they would see that a certain star, after briefly blazing with dazzling brilliance, quickly dimmed, until it vanished completely from sight.
