Chapter 442 Taking Action Against the Other Shore

The guide, whose body was already rotting, had his feet chained and was covered in a gray-white shroud, looking like a demon that had just crawled out of a coffin!

It was now separated from Li Lan and Chu Ruoxi by only a door.

"The Breakers should never appear again. Our eternity must never be affected or threatened..."

The guide murmured, "If we can't devour the one who has broken through to the Dao, then we'll kill him..."

As it spoke, a white bone dagger appeared in its right hand, which it raised high and then extended through the sacred gate to the other side.

The empty bone hand, gripping a white bone dagger that gleamed with cold light, was about to strike. The aura of destruction it exuded sent chills down Chu Ruoxi's spine. She knew that, let alone just her and Li Lan, even a being at the Ancestral Demon level would not be able to withstand a single stab from this dagger!

Death is about to come!

"Do not……"

She murmured unconsciously, her entire body surging with the power of the Great Dao, as if she wanted to resist!

"I cannot die here! I must inform the clan of these things!"

A thought suddenly popped into her mind.

Ever since their race fell from the Eternal Other Shore during the ancient war, they have never seen the scene there. They have exhausted the strength of countless generations, and now they finally see some hope...

However, this hope... has a problem.

The other shore is no longer the one they knew.

In this other shore, evil spirits dwell, and even the sacred gate that leads to enlightenment has become a place of darkness and evil!

The clan is unaware of this, and if they still proceed with the original plan to enter the other side, it might... cause a major problem, and the entire clan could be wiped out as a result.

She wanted to leave, to escape, but all her struggles were in vain.

Li Lan will die, and she will become Li Lan's burial offering!

A gray dagger slowly fell from the sky; the rules of the mortal world could not stop the existence of the other side... She was almost in despair!

But at that very moment, Li Lan suddenly raised his hand and grabbed the other person's wrist.

Then, he pulled hard!

"what?!"

The being within the Gate to the Other Shore spoke in shock, but it was unable to resist the boundless karmic force contained within Li Lan's pull, which was meant to plunge it into the mortal world and into a sea of ​​suffering, from which it could not resist.

It staggered as it stepped out of the Gate to the Other Shore, and immediately flew into a rage, shouting, "You brat, how dare you defy me?!"

The moment it appeared in the mortal world, layers of charred aura appeared on its body, as if it were being burned. Clearly, beings from the other side had to pay a great price to enter the mortal world.

Its eyes flashed with a fierce light, and it raised its hand to strike Li Lan, but at that very moment, a vast beam of light swept in from Tianji Peak—

The previously vanished Eye of Heaven has reappeared, and one of its beams of light is slashing directly at the beings on the other side.

"No!"

The creatures on the other side were startled.

If he were anywhere else, with the power of the Gate to the Other Shore, even the rules of the mortal world and the laws of heaven would not be able to stop him.

In fact, even here, the Gate to the Other Shore appears whenever it wants, without any restraint, and completely disregards the rules of the Heavenly Dao in this world.

But that is the other side's realm, not its!

It was merely a guide; through that door, the power of the mortal world couldn't harm him. But now that it had stepped out from the other shore, the power of this world was far beyond his ability to withstand.

Moreover, the appearance of this Heavenly Heart Mark on its own at this moment clearly indicates that the Heavenly Heart is enraged. The entire Primordial World of Li Lan is coming in like a tidal wave, and it is directly crushed by the pressure!

"what--"

The creature let out a shrill scream. The power of the Heavenly Heart Mark, like a millstone as large as a mountain, crushed its body, turning its decaying flesh into dust, and annihilating its soul!

At the same time, the Great Dao Furnace of All Living Beings appeared on Li Lan's body, spewing out astonishing flames. The chains of order that bound him were burned away, and he regained his freedom.

Seeing this, Chu Ruoxi was extremely shocked. Before she could say anything, Li Lan had already made a swift move, sealing her dantian and meridians, and then using the Cang Sheng Furnace to melt the chains of order on her body.

Li Lan carried her away swiftly, transforming into a streak of light—

And they have just disappeared.

"What? The envoy has been killed?!"

From within the Gate of the Other Shore came an even louder roar: "Who dares to lay a hand on my Other Shore?!"

The gate to the other shore grew ever brighter and more sacred, its light coalescing into paths, through which seemed to be the steps of incredibly powerful figures. The world within the gate appeared as if it were about to manifest directly into the mortal realm.

Boom!

At this moment, on the summit of Tianji Mountain, thunder roared and dark clouds gathered. The power of the Heavenly Heart transformed into lightning, and the Heavenly Heart Imprint of the entire Primordial World felt a tremendous threat and was in a state of stress.

Inside the Gate to the Other Shore, a terrifying and imposing figure slowly approached the gate, seemingly about to emerge at any moment.

His oppressive aura caused the divine imprint of this world to tremble slightly.

This is an extreme form of pressure.

If He were to cross the gate to the other shore, the primordial world's divine imprint would likely be nothing more than a plaything in His hands.

However, just as he was about to take that step forward, a certain light shone in the other world. These were threads, imprints from the sky above the other world, that held him back, preventing him from truly descending.

"Ha, Heavenly Emperor, Ancestral God... can you stop us for a while, but can you stop us forever?"

The being spoke in a cold voice, but ultimately did not move forward, instead turning and leaving.

After He left, the paths and figures that had gathered from all directions faded away, and the dazzling gate to the other side also disappeared.

On Tianji Peak, the Heavenly Heart Mark slowly returned to the chaos, as if nothing had ever happened.

……

And this moment.

At the foot of Tianji Peak, the several First Clan Ancestral Demons who had come with Chu Ruoxi were already terrified and knelt on the ground, not daring to move!

When the Heavenly Heart Mark manifested, they all felt it at the foot of the mountain, and when the Gate to the Other Shore appeared, the fluctuations shook the heavens.

They attributed all of this to Chu Ruoxi.

Soon after, experts from various races arrived one after another. The Gate to the Other Shore had already appeared once before, and all races knew about it, so none of them wanted to miss this miracle.

"It seems Miss Chu Ruoxi has made a great gain..."

"The Gate to the Other Shore has reappeared; I wonder if we will have the chance to meet it..."

"The Heavenly Heart Mark is reacting extremely strongly; I wonder what's going on..."

Everyone was nervously anticipating it.

Even the clan leaders of First Mountain and other clans came in person, all prepared to obey Chu Ruoxi's orders at any time.

However, as time passed, the commotion on Tianji Peak soon disappeared, and the world returned to normal, but Chu Ruoxi still did not come down the mountain.

"What's going on...?"

"Don't rush, Miss Chu Ruoxi's connection with the Heavenly Heart Mark and the Gate to the Other Shore cannot be accomplished overnight."

"Good, let's wait patiently!"

Although everyone was puzzled, they still waited respectfully.

But soon, a day passed, night fell, and there was still no movement on the peak.

A deathly silence.

"Miss Chu Ruoxi said that she would quickly locate Li Lan the big black dog, as well as the identity and whereabouts of that Dao Breaker, during her trip. Could something have gone wrong?"

"I don't know..."

"Wait a little longer!"

The various clans were getting restless; they had been waiting here for another ten days!

Ten days have passed, and no one has come down from Tianji Peak. Only the vast snow and wind howl across the sky.

"Something's not right. Regardless of the outcome, Miss Chu Ruoxi should come down now..."

"First Fellow Daoist, Miss Chu Ruoxi is closest to your First Clan. Do you have any way to contact her?"

"Yes, it may be presumptuous, but I should ask."

All the tribes sensed that something was wrong; this was already very unusual!

The other six clans all turned their attention to the First Mountain.

However, the First Mountain was also utterly helpless, saying, "Miss Chu Ruoxi did not leave any way to contact her..."

"The only option now is to try shouting!"

Everyone nodded in agreement; this was the only option they had.

"The seven great clans request an audience with Miss Ruoxi!"

"The seven great clans request an audience with Miss Ruoxi!"

Immediately, they used their powerful magic to transmit their voices, shouting loudly. The sound shook the mountains and spread far and wide, but there was still no response from Tianji Peak!

"Something's not right. Has something happened to Miss Ruoxi?"

We need to think of a solution!

Seeing this, all the major clans could no longer sit still.

"We have no way to get to the top, what should we do?"

"That's right, even if we invited a celestial demon, we still wouldn't be able to reach the top. This is a forbidden area..."

But they were all at a loss.

If Chu Ruoxi really had an accident on the mountain, the seven major clans would have no ability to rescue her!

"Go and report to the ancestral emperors first!"

After a long silence, the First Mountain finally spoke!

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

This situation is beyond the capacity of the seven major clans to handle on their own.

They left a portion of their forces to remain and wait, while the rest departed together, returning to their ancestral mountain to pay homage to their ancestors, report everything that had happened on Tianji Peak, and await the instructions of the Ancestral Emperor.

However, the ancestral mountains of all the major clans remained silent.

--Even the envoy in the Gate of the Other Shore was killed by Li Lan using the Heavenly Heart Mark. The Other Shore does not know what happened on the Heavenly Peak, so how can they answer the questions of the Seven Clans?

However, not long after, another light shone from the ancestral mountain of the First Clan, and a path from another world slowly emerged. From this path, another woman walked.

This woman bore a striking resemblance to Chu Ruoxi in her features, but her expression was colder and more arrogant. The moment she appeared, the people of the First Clan were utterly shocked and began to worship her.

"My name is Chu Ruolin. Chu Ruoxi has disappeared due to karma and has met with misfortune. From today onwards, I will be fully responsible for the affairs of the Primordial Realm."

She glanced indifferently at the crowd kneeling on the ground and made the announcement.

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this.

"Has Miss Chu Ruoxi met with misfortune?"

"How is this possible..."

"She possesses the tokens of seven emperors, and she's heading to the land of the Heavenly Heart Mark. Who could possibly allow her to meet with misfortune?"

All the major powers were dumbfounded.

"First Mountain pays respects to Miss Ruolin. From this day forward, the First Clan will serve you faithfully, even unto death!"

First Mountain was the first to react and bowed deeply to her!

But Chu Ruolin simply said coldly, "I am the Holy Maiden of the Yuan Chu Clan. From now on, you may call me Holy Venerable."

First Mountain felt a slight tightness in his heart, realizing that Chu Ruolin was very dissatisfied with the title "Miss Ruolin".

Although Chu Ruoxi also came from Zushan and had a great background and extraordinary status, she was much more approachable. They usually addressed her as "Miss," and Chu Ruoxi had no taboos about it.

But Chu Ruolin established her authority as soon as she arrived.

The title "Holy Venerable" is not something even the Ancestral Demons would dare to use in the primordial world. Only those with the rank of Emperor have the audacity to do so. Her cultivation is only at the Quasi-Immortal level, yet she calls herself that. Clearly, she is an arrogant person.

"We will heed His Majesty's command."

But the First Mountain still spoke, his expression respectful.

Those who can emerge from the ancestral mountain are those recognized by the seven ancestral emperors. No matter if the other party is a genius or an ant, he will treat them with utmost respect.

Upon seeing this, the other tribal chiefs and elders also bowed in respect.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

……

Seeing this, Chu Ruolin nodded, quite satisfied, and said:

"Where are the geniuses selected from each race? Tell them to come to me immediately."

"Put aside the pursuit of Li Lan, the big black dog, and that Dao Breaker for now. Your most important task now is to cultivate the methods of the Heavenly Emperor and the Ancestral God and activate the Gate to the Other Shore!"

Upon hearing this, the people from each ethnic group looked at each other in bewilderment.

A while ago, when Chu Ruoxi was still around, the entire Primordial World was turned upside down by Li Lan, the big black dog, and that mysterious Dao Breaker. But once someone else took over, they completely ignored it...

"It was a huge mistake for Chu Ruoxi to waste time on those Dao Breakers before."

Chu Ruolin then calmly added a sentence, glancing at the elders of various clans with a warning in her eyes!

All the clan leaders, elders, and others were startled. They were all powerful figures and naturally understood what Chu Ruolin meant...

This is telling them that things have changed.

From this day forward, Chu Ruolin will be the ruler of the primordial world.

"As Your Majesty commands!"

"As Your Majesty commands!"

Each ethnic group bowed and then departed.

"This Holy Venerable is not so easy to deal with as Miss Chu Ruoxi..."

"Don't say anything more. In any case, she represents the will of all the ancestral emperors, and we will obey."

"What a pity for Miss Ruoxi..."

Many people reminisce about it, but they just shake their heads and accept the reality.

……

Watching the crowd depart, a cold and smug glint flashed in Chu Ruolin's eyes. She murmured:

"Sister, you've suppressed me my whole life. Now, it's time for me to rise up!"

--She is Chu Ruoxi's younger sister, and was not originally the Holy Maiden of the Yuanchu Clan.

Back when Ruoxi was in the clan, she had no chance to show herself because Chu Ruoxi was too dazzling. So young, she had not yet reached immortality, but she had already comprehended all the myriad paths and achieved fusion.

Although she was very talented, she paled in comparison to Chu Ruoxi.

But she never thought that way, and never felt that she was inferior to her sister. In her opinion, the reason why Chu Ruoxi was strong was simply because she was born a saintess and therefore had the best resources to support her...

Now, her sister's accident at Tianji Peak has given her a chance to catch up!

I will do better than you and surpass you!

She whispered!

……

And this moment.

In the primordial world, in a dimly lit cave, with the flickering candlelight, Li Lan circulated his internal energy for a long time and absorbed a lot of primordial matter to heal his injuries before finally recovering.

-- He was bound by the chains of order within the Gate to the Other Shore, and he exhausted all his karma to pull the guide into reality... These two things alone had already pushed his body to its limit.

He opened his eyes, looked at Chu Ruoxi in the corner, and slowly said:

"It seems you're not as important as I thought."

……
