Undying Life

Chapter 716: Chapter 716: The Perversely Powerful Last Descendant of the Tian Family

The eerie, black-skinned man emerged without emitting any aura or exuding any intimidation. Yet, everyone who saw him felt a divine presence, instilling a deep sense of reverence in their hearts.

Who was this man? This question arose in the minds of everyone, driven by a profound sense of awe.

Mud Buddha furrowed his brow deeply upon seeing this man.

"General Zhao, be on high alert. This person is extremely dangerous!" Mud Buddha warned, his voice tinged with fear.

Zhao Suoxiang nodded, signaling the troops to tighten their formation.

In the distance, the two Earth Immortals stared at the black-skinned man who had suddenly appeared. Despite being cursed, they suppressed their anger and fear.

The black-skinned man looked down at the kneeling Tian Lao.

From afar, Tian Jizi suddenly took out a scroll. As he unfurled it, a lifelike portrait of a man, fair-skinned and elegant, exuding supreme authority, came into view. On closer inspection, the man's features were identical to the black-skinned man, although his eyes were not blood-red and he lacked the sun-like gem on his forehead. He also appeared healthier and more robust.

The resemblance was unmistakable.

Tian Jizi's breath quickened.

"Ten thousand years ago? The last head of the Tian family in the mortal realm, Tian Shenzi?" Tian Jizi murmured in disbelief.

Ten thousand years ago? The last family head? Tian Shenzi?

The realization struck Tian Jizi like a thunderbolt, his eyes widening in shock.

"How is this possible? It's been ten thousand years. Why doesn't this small world reject him? How? Could he still not be an immortal? Impossible! Tian Shenzi was a prodigy, the foremost figure of his time. It's inconceivable that he's still mortal today," Tian Jizi muttered in astonishment.

Tian Shenzi, the black-skinned man, looked at Tian Lao and asked in a faint voice, "Are you the current head of the Tian family?"

Tian Shenzi's voice seemed to carry a magical quality, causing those who heard it to feel a tremor in their souls.

"It's him! He's the one who cursed us! Old Eight, let's kill him! Only by killing him can we break our curse!" one of the Earth Immortals shouted.

"Kill!" The two Earth Immortals drew their swords simultaneously.

A powerful killing intent surged towards Tian Shenzi.

As Tian Shenzi questioned Tian Lao, the sudden onslaught of killing intent made him slightly raise his head. His blood-red eyes locked onto the two Earth Immortals.

"Crack!"

The two Earth Immortals suddenly froze, their bodies rigid and eyes wide with disbelief. Why? How could this be? How could such a monster exist in this small world?

The paralyzed Earth Immortals fell from the sky, crashing onto a rock.

"Boom!"

Upon impact, the two Earth Immortals shattered into pieces as if they were fragile ceramics.

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

"Stone petrification? What kind of eye technique is this?" Mud Buddha muttered, swallowing hard.

In an instant, the two Earth Immortals were petrified. The terror was palpable. Earth Immortals, the very epitome of power, had been effortlessly turned to stone. Was this black-skinned man truly the ancestor of the Tian family? What manner of ancient monster was he?

From afar, Tian Jizi was equally horrified, slowly rolling up the scroll with a numb scalp. Meanwhile, in the palace of Sima Ce in the Dayong Imperial City, four life tablets of the remaining Earth Immortals lay on a jade platform.

"Boom! Boom!"

Two of the tablets shattered explosively. Sima Ce, who had been meditating with closed eyes, snapped them open in shock as he saw the broken jade tablets.

"Two more? Who keeps killing my subordinates!" Sima Ce roared in fury.

Grabbing the remaining two jade tablets, Sima Ce stormed out of the palace, determined the direction, and sped towards Heaven's Peak.

At Heaven's Peak, Tian Lao bowed respectfully. "Unworthy descendant of the Tian family, Feng Shui branch, Tian Lao pays respects to the ancestor!"

"Feng Shui branch? Where is the head of the family?" Tian Shenzi asked indifferently.

"After the disappearance of the family leaders led by Tian Shenzi ten thousand years ago, the Tian family fell into decline. The head's lineage vanished, and it is unknown whether they still exist. To think there would still be an ancestor alive in Heaven's Peak!" Tian Lao replied respectfully.

Tian Lao couldn't believe it; an ancestor of the Tian family was still alive in their ancestral tomb. This meant the Tian family could once again rise to the glory of ten thousand years ago. The illustrious Tian family!

"Tian Shenzi? The leaders disappeared? Declined to this state?" Tian Shenzi closed his eyes slightly.

"May I ask the ancestor's name?" Tian Lao immediately asked.

"I am Tian Shenzi," he replied calmly.

Tian Shenzi? Tian Lao was stunned. He looked at Tian Shenzi and bowed again with utmost respect.

"Where is the Tian Order?" Tian Shenzi asked.

"It disappeared along with the head's lineage. We do not know if they still exist," Tian Lao bowed.

"Very well," Tian Shenzi nodded.

Tian Shenzi extended his index and middle fingers and lightly touched the small sun on his forehead. The small sun emitted a beam of golden light to his fingertips, and Tian Shenzi pointed to the sky.

Everyone saw a golden ripple spreading out, initially slow, then rapidly accelerating. The ripple expanded until it was beyond sight.

"Hiss..."

Mud Buddha drew in a sharp breath, his eyes full of terror.

"What is he doing?" Zhao Suoxiang asked in confusion.

"He is searching the entire world!" Mud Buddha exclaimed.

"What?" Zhao Suoxiang was puzzled.

"A divine scan that searches the heavens and the earth!" Mud Buddha swallowed hard.

"A divine scan that searches the heavens and the earth?" Zhao Suoxiang still didn't understand.

"With this technique, he can perform a sweeping search for specific items across the entire small world!" Mud Buddha explained, still in shock.

"Searching the entire small world?" Yin Luori stood agape, unable to close his mouth.

What kind of ancient monster was this? This was beyond exaggeration. Even Gu Shentong in his prime wasn't this terrifying. How could such a monster exist in the mortal realm?

Tian Jizi stood at a distance, filled with excitement, fear, and shock. The Tian family of the mortal realm? Was this the depth of their heritage? A divine scan of the heavens and the earth? Tian Shenzi was this formidable?

The sheer power of this technique was astonishing, rapidly spreading across the boundless realms of heaven and earth.

In the Da Yung Empire, within the rear palace of the Lingxiao Heavenly Court:

"Zhong Shan, look! Look! What's happening with the Tian Order? Why is it glowing with golden light?" Tian Ling'er exclaimed, holding the Tian Order in wonder and handing it to Zhong Shan.

The Tian Order was emitting a radiant golden light, trembling slightly in a bizarre manner.

Zhong Shan grabbed it, and Tian Ling'er held onto it with her other hand.

Suddenly, the Tian Order's golden light exploded, enveloping both Zhong Shan and Tian Ling'er. They were wrapped in a cocoon of golden light.

Zhong Shan raised an eyebrow.

"Master!" Bao'er cried out in alarm, bewildered by the sudden change.

Zhong Shan didn't feel any life-threatening danger, and the Red Luan Pink Lotus at his brow didn't change color.

"Don't worry about me!" Zhong Shan said.

But just as he finished speaking,

"Boom!"

The golden light surrounding Zhong Shan and Tian Ling'er smashed through the roof, shooting into the sky, and then vanished in a flash towards the northeast, disappearing from sight.

The Tian Order had forcefully taken Zhong Shan and Tian Ling'er? No, it was heading directly towards Heaven's Peak. This was Tian Shenzi manipulating the Tian Order from a vast distance, similar to how ancient monsters of the Eternal Life Realm could control the Four Immortal Execution Swords from afar.

Zhong Shan was forcibly taken away?

The sudden event threw Bao'er into a panic.

"Sister! Is Zhong Shan alright?" Bei Qingsi suddenly grabbed Bao'er.

Bei Qingsi's grip steadied Bao'er's emotions. She immediately walked out of the palace and commanded, "Quick, summon Di Xuansha, quickly!"

"Yes!" a subordinate outside the palace responded immediately.

Shortly after Zhong Shan's departure, Di Xuansha received the news and met with the two empresses. After understanding the situation, Di Xuansha did not hesitate and swiftly flew towards the northeast.

"Sister, will Zhong Shan be alright?" Bei Qingsi asked worriedly.

"He will be fine. Master said he would be fine before leaving, so he will be fine. Definitely," Bao'er replied anxiously but with unwavering conviction.

In the Qin Empire, at the Holy Capital of Xianyang, Ying Zheng was holding court.

"Your Majesty, General Bai Qi has sent a victory report..." Li Si reported respectfully.

While Ying Zheng listened, he suddenly raised his hand to stop Li Si, who, though puzzled, immediately ceased speaking.

"Whoosh!"

Ying Zheng suddenly stood up, looking at the calm sea of luck clouds in the sky, narrowing his eyes.

With a step, Ying Zheng disappeared from the hall.

The entire court was left bewildered. What had just happened? Why did the emperor suddenly leave?

"Prime Minister Lu, did you feel it?" Li Si finally furrowed his brow.

"My strength hasn't fully recovered. You have recovered more than I have. What happened?" Lu Buwei asked, frowning.

"A divine scan that searches the heavens and the earth!" Li Si took a deep breath and said solemnly.

Upon hearing Li Si's words, Lu Buwei's pupils contracted.

"Is there such a powerful figure in this world?" Lu Buwei's brow furrowed deeply.

At Heaven's Peak.

After executing the 'Divine Scan of the Heavens and the Earth,' Tian Shenzi looked around.

From a distant mountain peak, Tian Jizi seemed to feel Tian Shenzi's gaze and immediately flew towards him.

"Tian Jizi?" Yin Luori exclaimed.

Yin Luori couldn't believe it. How was it possible to see Tian Jizi in the mortal realm again? How had he ascended? Weren't the Tian family members of the underworld unable to come to the mortal realm? Otherwise, they would have done so long ago.

Tian Jizi flew close to Tian Lao.

Tian Shenzi's blood-red eyes also fixed on Tian Jizi, waiting for him to speak.

Upon nearing, Tian Jizi bowed respectfully.

"Former head of the underworld's Tian family, Tian Jizi, pays respects to the ancestor of the mortal realm's Tian family!" Tian Jizi bowed deeply.
