Shortly after Mu Changqing departed, several powerful figures descended.
Looking at the town that had turned into ruins, their expressions were grim.
"Saint Son Tang Si has perished, who dares to attack my Great Yu Immortal Sect?"
"Whoever it is, they shall pay the price. Please have the sect's immortals deduce their identity and find the murderer."
"What evil methods, likely the work of demonic path villains."
"No matter who it is, anyone who provokes my Great Yu Immortal Sect must pay the price."
...
The next day, Mu Changqing's gaze indifferently swept across his surroundings.
Lying scattered about were the corpses of over a hundred cultivators.
As his eyes opened and closed, the purple flames around Mu Changqing receded, his black robe billowing in the wind.
He grew increasingly adept at killing.
Immersed in slaughter, Mu Changqing felt the thrill of the great path's struggle.
Myriad mortals would ultimately turn to dust; only eternal immortality was the truth, the path of cultivation.
At this moment, Mu Changqing's eyes flickered, sensing deductions from immortal cultivators.
"Is it the Great Yu Immortal Sect?"
Currently, Mu Changqing possessed the Burial of the Heavens Pearl, which shielded him from all perception and deduction.
The mere Great Yu Immortal Sect was not enough to find him.
"However... playing with you all might not be bad."
Mu Changqing lowered his head, a sinister glow appearing in his eyes, sending a chill down one's spine.
In the pursuit of the great path's struggle, why would one retreat from an enemy?
He deliberately loosened a wisp of the Burial of the Heavens Pearl's concealment, revealing his location.
Mu Changqing set up a killing domain, waiting for the fish to bite.
Three days later, dozens of peak Mortal Realm experts from the Great Yu Immortal Sect arrived.
As they stepped into the killing domain, dazzling and terrifying purple flames surged towards the sky.
Transforming the surrounding world into a purple realm.
An eerie, inauspicious, and taboo aura permeated the heavens and earth, shaking them.
"Damn it, it's a trap."
"Who are you, come out! How dare you kill my Great Yu Immortal Sect's Saint Son, and set a trap for us, you court death!"
The auras of dozens of Ming Dao realm cultivators erupted, their divine radiance brilliant, as if immortals about to ascend.
At this moment, the purple flames dispersed, and a figure, seemingly demonic and immortal, emerged from the flames.
Mu Changqing stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes filled with wisps of purple mist. His thick black hair, fluttering in the wind, was interspersed with strands of purple flame, making it sparkle brilliantly.
"You are... Mu Changqing?"
At this moment, a figure stepped forward, his brow furrowed as he looked at Mu Changqing, his tone filled with confusion.
"Master, long time no see, how have you been?"
This person was the elder who had once recruited him and Tang Si into the sect.
However, their experiences upon entering the Great Yu Immortal Sect were vastly different.
Tang Si possessed unparalleled talent and was greatly favored.
Mu Changqing had no aptitude for cultivation; even if he was grudgingly admitted into the sect, he was merely a registered disciple of the elder, with no presence in the immortal sect.
At this moment, the elder quickly reacted, his expression darkening, and he coldly said.
"You killed Tang Si? A betrayer of one's master and ancestors. I shouldn't have taken you in back then."
Hearing this, Mu Changqing's expression remained unchanged. He casually toyed with flames in his hand, appearing exceptionally demonic and charming under the purple light.
"Betrayer of master and ancestors? No, no, no. I, Mu Changqing, have no father or mother, no relatives or friends. I don't know where I came from at birth, nor where I go at death. How can there be talk of betraying master and ancestors? You took me in back then only because of Tang Si. Now that he has returned to eternal silence, our karma should be resolved, don't you agree?"
Mu Changqing's tone was indifferent as he approached step by step.
Although his current cultivation was only at the Integration stage, as long as no true immortals appeared, he was invincible beneath the immortal realm.
"Demonic pronouncements, falling into the demonic path. It is I who did not teach you well. Today, I shall resolve this karma."
The elder shouted coldly, lunging forward with overwhelming killing intent.
"Courting death!"
A flicker of disdain flashed in Mu Changqing's eyes, and his palm moved slightly.
The Burial of the Heavens Pearl hovered high in the sky, and wisps of purple light transformed into terrifying long swords.
Like a purple river pouring down, they descended from the firmament, forming a rain of swords.
Rumble!
Amidst the deafening roar, the elder's defenses were instantly shattered, and he was pinned to the ground.
The expressions of the other Ming Dao realm cultivators changed drastically, and they hurriedly unleashed secret techniques to counter Mu Changqing.
"Useless struggle."
Mu Changqing transformed the sky-filling purple flames into swords and walked amidst the flames of slaughter.
Wherever his sword light passed, life was extinguished.
This formidable combat power refreshed the understanding of the Primordial Realm, slaughtering across realms.
Wails arose, accompanied by the sound of gushing blood, before succumbing to silence.
Before long, the ground was littered with corpses, leaving only Mu Changqing's master lying on the ground, on the verge of death.
Blood poured from his mouth as he looked at Mu Changqing, who was walking from hell, his eyes filled with endless regret.
"I... I shouldn't have guided you into cultivation back then."
Hearing this, Mu Changqing chuckled lightly, his gaze calm.
He slowly shook his head and leaned down to whisper.
"No, you are mistaken. My path was predetermined and has nothing to do with you. You are merely dust on my path of great struggle and invincibility."
*Pfft!*
A long sword pierced the elder's body, flames burning, consuming the scattered corpses.
Mu Changqing's gaze turned towards the direction of the Great Yu Immortal Sect.
He knew that pursuit was imminent.
"Only through slaughter can my path be purified."
Mu Changqing withdrew the sky-filling purple flames, deliberately leaking a trace of his aura, and began his killing spree.
...
A thousand years later, at the Great Yu Immortal Sect.
A figure clad in black robes hovered high in the sky, looking down upon the immortal sect, shrouded in misty immortal energy and radiant immortal light stretching for millions of feet.
This place, like a fairyland, was now filled with endless fear.
Over a thousand years, Mu Changqing had never ceased his killing spree, burying countless cultivators.
And today, he had broken through the constraints of the Mortal Realm, surpassed the Virtual Immortal realm, stepped into the True Immortal realm, and descended upon the Great Yu Immortal Sect.
"Mu Changqing, you have killed tens of thousands of cultivators from my Great Yu Immortal Sect and countless innocent beings. Do you still wish to commit further sin? Are you not afraid of the Nine Nether karma fire and the judgment of the Heavenly Dao?"
A True Immortal ancestor descended through the air, his eyes cold as he looked at Mu Changqing.
Figures radiating immortal light stepped forth, surrounding Mu Changqing.
"Too much nonsense. Today, either the Great Yu Immortal Sect is destroyed, or I perish."
Mu Changqing's words were concise, and he directly attacked.
He waved his sleeve, and the purple flames, as if alive, spread across the heavens and earth, enveloping the entire Great Yu Immortal Sect.
"Slay this demonic path villain!"
The great battle was imminent. Mu Changqing, having been continuously refined by the Burial of the Heavens Pearl, had long ceased to reject its integration, his body now one with it.
Although not fully merged, it allowed him to transcend the world's cultivation system and forge his own path.
He rose from slaughter, burying all beings and all things.
A terrifying battle erupted, with vibrant immortal lights and the laws of the Great Dao filling the sky.
In an instant, the entire immortal sect was reduced to ruins, and countless cultivators below the immortal realm became innocent souls.
Mu Changqing's cold and ruthless nature made the world tremble with fear.
When Virtual Immortals fell, people felt the urge to retreat.
When True Immortals were buried, people were terrified and called for their Immortal King ancestors.
However, even when an Immortal King appeared, Mu Changqing remained fearless.
His heart was invincible, fearing nothing, and the Burial of the Heavens Pearl granted him endless power.
In the purple flame purgatory, countless beings perished.
The moment Mu Changqing wielded the true form of the Burial of the Heavens Pearl.
Even Immortal King ancestors could not escape a fate of annihilation.
It was also from the destruction of the Great Yu Immortal Sect that Mu Changqing's name began to be known by the world.
The legend of a mortal, who, in over a thousand years, annihilated a vast power guarded by an Immortal King, began to spread throughout the Primordial Realm.
