"When I left my residence today, I had already calculated that I would face a deadly tribulation. As the saying goes: good advice falls on deaf ears of those doomed to die. Since you remain stubbornly unrepentant, may your journey be a smooth one!"

Before his words had even finished, he gently waved his sleeve, and a completely black treasure gourd soared into the air. As the gourd’s mouth opened, a torrent of purple-blue Sword Qi poured out, like a reverse Milky Way, instantly transforming into an Innate Killing Array.

This was precisely the "Immortal Execution Sword Array" he had arranged using the Nine Turns Array Banner combined with his own Sword Intent, an array that unfolded with Sword Qi crisscrossing to envelop all six Venerables within.

"Such audacity! You dare strike against us six!"

The Blood River Venerable was both shocked and furious, suddenly waving his Banner. Countless resentful souls congealed into a blood river demon god, charging towards the Array Hub:

"A mere Nascent Soul Cultivator, so arrogant with just a few treasures; today I shall grind you to dust and divide up your supreme treasure!"

But just as his words fell, a point of blood appeared unexpectedly on his forehead.

A purple Sword Light, as fast as lightning, pierced his forehead and then quickly retreated back into the array, with no blood on the sword blade.

The smile froze on Blood River Venerable’s face, his body stiffening and collapsing, his breath vanishing in an instant.

"What?!"

The faces of the remaining five changed dramatically, and Venerable Puhui hastily urged the ancient bronze cauldron, with ten thousand rays of golden light forming a Buddhist shield:

"This array is perilous, everyone, don’t hold back! Fellow Daoist Xuan Yuan, open the Yin Yang passage! Fellow Daoist Jiu Huang, break open the Array Hub!"

Venerable Xuan Yuan’s Yin Yang Treasured Wheel spun rapidly, attempting to tear the array wall with black and white energies, while Venerable Jiu Huang raised the purple-gold great seal, its body enlarging with the power to suppress mountains as it struck the Array Hub.

Venerable Ci Guang scattered the purified world Buddhist light with the Glazed Treasure Bead, trying to cleanse the Sword Qi, while Venerable Lie Tian turned his spear into a beam of light, striking at the array’s weak point.

The five Yin God Venerables exerted their strength simultaneously, deploying divine techniques and magical treasures, with a momentum capable of leveling a Major Sect.

"Array rises with Three Talents, execute!"

Chen Sheng’s voice resounded within the array, indifferent as ice.

The array suddenly rotated, countless Sword Qi instantly consolidated, transforming into three celestial swords, each approximately one meter long, with green, purple, and gold rays interwoven, forming a sword curtain like the Heaven and Earth Net.

"Puff puff puff!"

With three soft sounds, Venerable Xuan Yuan’s Yin Yang Treasured Wheel was shattered, Venerable Jiu Huang’s purple-gold seal cracked, and Venerable Lie Tian was pierced through by Sword Qi, along with his spear.

All three fell simultaneously, their Yin Gods annihilated by Sword Qi, swept up by the gourd, transforming into incomparably pure energy.

Venerables Puhui and Ci Guang were already scared out of their wits.

They had personally witnessed five companions fall in an instant, realizing the terrifying extent of the opponent’s strength — was this truly the power a Nascent Soul Cultivator could control?

Even if a True Immortal were present, it would be no different!

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, spare us! I am willing to offer the Buddhist sect’s inheritance and serve as your attendant!"

Venerable Puhui hurriedly knelt, tossing aside the ancient bronze cauldron, while Venerable Ci Guang also pleaded for mercy, holding the Glazed Treasure Bead before him, ready to offer it up at any moment.

Their response was two purple-blue Sword Lights that sealed their throats as their Heart Spirits faltered.

The array dispersed, the six fallen Venerables’ bodies dropped, with magical treasures scattered across the ground.

With a wave of his sleeve, Chen Sheng collected all the treasures, his movements seamless as though merely sweeping away dust.

He walked slowly towards the Innate Immortal Sword, and as the distance closed, it suddenly burst forth with brilliant golden light, autonomously transforming into a beam of light to leap into his hand.

The sword hilt felt warm in his grip, as an ancient inheritance flowed into his consciousness— "Destiny Extinguishing Sword, the Seven Secrets of Destiny Extinguishing, sever fate and cut causality."

Chen Sheng tightened his grip on the Destiny Extinguishing Sword, with his purple aura intertwined with the sword’s golden light, he clearly sensed his own destiny forming a deep connection with the sword.

The earlier turbulent fluctuations in his fate finally had an answer.

He gazed at the grotto heaven’s dome, his eyes seeming to penetrate layers of barriers, focusing on the origin bound up in the heavens, a flash of realization in his eyes.

He lightly nodded, "If there’s an opportunity, I shall lend you a hand."
