The whole world was in uproar, and all living beings were shocked!

The Emperor of Heaven Burying, Ye Xuan, killed the Undying Heavenly Lord in the Chaos Starry Sky and even destroyed the Undying Heavenly Palace in one fell swoop.

This news spread rapidly across the Chaos Five Domains, truly shocking those who heard it and moving those who listened, causing a great sensation in the Chaos Great World.

Because of this battle, the four words "Emperor of Heaven Burying" spread across the Five Domains, and the momentum of the Heavenly Burial Palace grew ever stronger, with countless powerful beings hoping to be recruited into the Heavenly Burial Palace.

For a time, the prestige of the Heavenly Burial Palace reached its peak, faintly surpassing that of the Spirits Heavenly Palace.

The name of the Emperor of Heaven Burying resounded throughout the Chaos, already almost equal to the ruler of the Tenth Epoch, the Lord of Spirits.

As the saying goes, there cannot be two suns in the sky, nor two kings in a land.

The rise of the Heavenly Burial Palace was a challenge to the dominant status of the Spirits Heavenly Palace, but fortunately, under the control of the Lord of Spirits and Ye Xuan, no major conflict occurred between the two Daoist sects.

However, the occurrence of an event completely ignited the fuse between the two Daoist sects, leading to a great battle.

The matter was simple.

An Elder of the Spirits Heavenly Palace discovered a piece of Spiritual Objects of Heaven and Earth, and coincidentally, a Cultivator from the Heavenly Burial Palace arrived and fiercely attacked the Elder of the Spirits Heavenly Palace, snatching the Spiritual Objects from their hands.

Such incidents of treasure seizing are common in the Chaos Great World and are not considered unusual at all.

But this particular Cultivator from the Heavenly Burial Palace acted ruthlessly, actually causing the Elder of the Spirits Heavenly Palace to meet their end and have their soul scattered.

The situation suddenly became serious. There had already been friction between the two Daoist robes, and now that a person from the Heavenly Burial Palace killed an Elder of the Spirits Heavenly Palace, this matter was magnified infinitely.

Initially, both sides only gathered some forces for battle, but as deaths and injuries began to appear, the situation escalated, eventually involving even Li Taichu, a Great Perfection in the Immortal Realm.

Moreover, a half-step Supreme Powers from the Spirits Heavenly Palace also got involved. Although Li Taichu had developed his own Law and Dao, against this half-step Supreme Powers, he was no match.

Ultimately, Li Taichu was heavily injured and fled, and the half-step Supreme Powers from the Spirits Heavenly Palace also did not fare well, afflicted by a nearly unimaginable catastrophe due to the terrifying Six Destruction Life Killing Sword Intent of Li Taichu.

...

Spirits Heavenly Palace!

The shadowy figures almost filled the entire Heavenly Palace, and all those present were Elders of the Spirits Heavenly Palace, with the lowest cultivation being the initial stage of the Immortal Realm.

Each of their faces was filled with extreme indignation, and a loud chorus of discussions arose from their mouths.

"The Heavenly Burial Palace is simply too deceitful."

"Arrogant, simply extremely arrogant!"

"They dare to disregard our Spirits Heavenly Palace and arbitrarily slay our disciples. If this revenge is not taken, what will the beings of the Chaos Five Domains think of our Spirits Heavenly Palace?"

"Our Spirits Heavenly Palace rules the Tenth Epoch, worshiped by all beings, respected by all Spirits. What is this Heavenly Burial Palace!"

"Heavenly Lord, you must stand up for us."

The sounds of indignation, roars of anger, and waves of grievance filled the entire Heavenly Palace at this moment, and all eyes were directed towards one direction, towards the pillar of support in their hearts.

Lord of Spirits!

He was dressed in white like snow, his expression indifferent, with black hair hanging over both shoulders, and as his eyes opened and closed, it seemed as though all the stars in the heavens swirled within them.

"Silence!"

The Lord of Spirits uttered just one word, and the entire Heavenly Palace immediately fell silent, the originally noisy sounds disappearing without a trace, fully displaying the power of an ancient Supreme.

"I have already learned all the details of the matter, and I will personally go talk to the Emperor of Heaven Burying about it. You all may withdraw now." The Lord of Spirits said indifferently.

"As you decree, Heavenly Lord."

Upon hearing this, the Elders rejoiced, quickly bowing in salute, and then swiftly exiting the Heavenly Palace.

Silence reigned, and Heaven and Earth were without sound.

The Lord of Spirits stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes deep and calm, as if through the ancient Heavenly Vault, remotely viewing the ninety-nine layers of the Heavenly Burial Palace.

"Ye Xuan, I’ve waited for this day for a long time, are you ready?" The Lord of Spirits whispered.

Buzz!

The divine light of Spirits flickered, and waves surged in the void, as the Lord of Spirits hesitated slightly under his feet and with a step, disappeared from the Spirits Heavenly Palace.

...

Emperor Palace of Heavenly Burial!

Ye Xuan, dressed in black, with three thousand strands of black hair hanging behind him, had a handsome face akin to a scholar’s elegance, yet his eyes opened and closed with a color that gave a sense of eternal vicissitudes.

He was no longer the young man he once was but a Great Cultivator who had lived for nearly an Epoch, enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Supreme.

"Emperor!"

Li Taichu looked pale, and the surrounding shadowy Cultivators were all filled with indignation, but before they could speak, Yellow Fatty hurriedly gave them a look, indicating they should say no more. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

The one who understood the most must be Yellow Fatty, for he noticed Ye Xuan gazing deeply into the distance, indicating that something significant was about to happen.

"The Lord of Spirits has arrived, you all should withdraw." Ye Xuan said calmly.

"Ah?"

The crowd was surprised upon hearing this, and before they could react, the ninety-nine layers of the Heavenly Burial Palace began to tremble slightly, a Supreme power exerting pressure from above.

Buzz!

The void opened, divine rays shone, and the Lord of Spirits walked out indifferently, surrounded only by a divine light of Spirits.

The arrival of a Supreme shook the world.

Yellow Fatty and others turned pale with fear, surrounded the Lord of Spirits as if facing a great enemy, for this was no ordinary opponent, but a genuine ancient Supreme.

"A guest is a guest, what are you doing?" Ye Xuan frowned slightly: "Withdraw."

"Yes, Emperor."

The crowd quickly exited the Emperor Palace, only to rapidly convene all Cultivators above the Immortal Realm outside, and even activated the Heavenly Protection Array, preparing to support Ye Xuan at any moment.

Inside the Emperor Palace.

"A Supreme’s arrival naturally makes them tense, it’s something to make you laugh." Ye Xuan said lightly.

"Should I call you the Emperor of Heaven Burying or Ye Xuan?" The Lord of Spirits asked without answering.

"A title is just an empty name, you can call me by my given name if you wish." Ye Xuan said.

"Very well."

The Lord of Spirits nodded and said, "The name ’Lord of Spirits’ is just what people call me, you may call me by my name, Ye Lingtian."

"That is good." Ye Xuan smiled and nodded.

"Ye Xuan, I have indeed waited for this day for a very long time, for almost an entire Epoch for this battle." The Lord of Spirits said in a deep voice.

"I know." Ye Xuan replied.

"I have never cared about the Daoist sects, whether they live or die does not concern me. What I truly care about is the outcome of this battle." The Lord of Spirits said.

"I am not your match."

Ye Xuan gave a faint smile, providing the Lord of Spirits with an unexpected answer, which also led the Lord of Spirits to a sudden understanding in his eyes.

Indeed, at this moment, although Ye Xuan had opened the Ten Heavenly Gates and joined forces with six major experts to kill the Undying Heavenly Lord, he was still no match for the Lord of Spirits.
