Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 1080: The Taixu Ancient Dragon Is Dead

Has the Heavenly Dao itself finally been forced to admit defeat?

Gazing into the vast expanse of the void, Ye Yun let out a chuckle.

He mused aloud, "Didn't you claim this Heavenly Dao was even more formidable than the Heavenly Dao of the Cangnan Continent?"

"Master, how would I know? This Heavenly Dao appears incredibly strong, yet it's so cowardly. There isn't even an opportunity for me to strike it with my sword..."

The Heaven-Slaying Sword lamented its grievance.

"Worry not, if you cannot strike the Heavenly Dao this time, there will always be another opportunity!"

Ye Yun's laughter echoed.

"Master is indeed correct."

The Heaven-Slaying Sword chirped happily, then spun its blade before rapidly descending from the heavens once more.

Deep within the Valley of Sky Burial.

The six Supremes, accompanied by Supreme Seven Kills who had been concealed within the chasm, all bore witness to the spectacular sight that had just unfolded.

An icy chill permeated the air, and their faces were etched with utter astonishment.

What could be the origin of such a devastating sword?

The dignified Heavenly Dao had actually turned tail and fled at the mere appearance of this weapon.

It was truly an awe-inspiring display of power.

Having endured through two entire epochs, these ancient quasi-emperors, who had once vied for the Super God Level Slaughter Blood Evil Sword, had never before encountered a Divine Sword of such terrifying might.

One swing of its blade, and the Heavenly Dao itself retreated!

The sheer horror it contained was beyond comprehension.

"How... how is this possible?"

The most profoundly shocked among them was Red Dust Supreme, who happened to be positioned nearest to Ye Yun.

His entire body trembled, his lips turned a ghastly pale, and an overwhelming sense of futility washed over his heart.

The youthful figure in white robes before him was undeniably a powerhouse from an even more ancient period.

He wielded a Divine Sword that commanded fear even from the Heavenly Dao.

With a swift flicker of shadow, Supreme Seven Kills emerged from the abyss.

He landed beside Red Dust Supreme, his eyes fixed upon the Heaven-Slaying Sword in Ye Yun's grasp, his face a mask of profound dread.

"Does your sword possess a name?"

Supreme Seven Kills inquired, gathering his courage.

"This sword is known as the Heaven-Slaying Sword."

Ye Yun replied with a gentle smile, idly tapping the sword's blade with his finger.

Ding!

A clear, resonant chime echoed through the void.

"The Heaven-Slaying Sword certainly lives up to its formidable name."

Supreme Seven Kills murmured, his voice tinged with awe.

More figures flickered as the remaining five Supremes also converged on their position.

"Who has emerged victorious?"

Ye Yun cast a glance at the assembled group of seven, a faint smile gracing his lips.

"You are victorious. We acknowledge our inferiority and willingly submit to your command!"

Red Dust Supreme took a deep, steadying breath, clasped his fists, and bowed respectfully.

The other six Supremes followed suit, mirroring his gesture.

In that moment, the lingering pride within the hearts of the seven Supremes had been utterly replaced by a profound sense of subjugation.

The young man clad in white standing before them was the true embodiment of power.

It was possible that his origins predated even those of these ancient beings who had lived through two epochs.

Consequently, for that brief instant.

The seven Supremes lost all will to fight, appearing entirely at the mercy of another.

Beneath the might of the Heavenly Dao, they were merely insignificant ants.

Yet, a single Heaven-Slaying Sword possessed the power to instill fear in the Heavenly Dao itself.

What resolve could these quasi-emperors, as fragile as ants, possibly retain to continue their futile struggle?

Observing the now respectful and docile demeanor of the seven Supremes, Ye Yun offered a detached smile.

These seven old adversaries indeed possessed keen insight.

They had been utterly terrified by the sheer power of the Heaven-Slaying Sword.

Now, their once unyielding heads had finally been bowed in complete submission.

Ye Yun understood this truth implicitly.

The pride harbored within the hearts of these powerhouses, who had witnessed two epochs unfold, was truly immeasurable.

"Is the shadowy black mist aiding you in concealing your presence?"

Ye Yun inquired, his gaze sweeping across the surroundings as he noticed the encroaching black mist.

"Yes, this black mist serves to mask our auras, thereby preventing the Heavenly Dao from detecting and acting against us..."

Red Dust Supreme responded with utmost deference.

"Why does the Heavenly Dao relentlessly pursue your annihilation?"

Ye Yun pressed further.

"We originate from the preceding epoch. At the close of that era, this world was afflicted by a cataclysmic disaster. A peculiar sword contaminated the majority of all living beings, inciting the wrath of the Heavenly Dao, which subsequently unleashed a calamitous event that obliterated all life. We only managed to survive due to our profound cultivation base, enabling us to endure that calamity..."

Red Dust Supreme explained in a measured tone, a melancholic smile gracing his features.

"Was it the Slaughter Blood Evil Sword?"

Ye Yun interjected.

This weapon, it seemed, had been the catalyst for total annihilation.

Truly an act of immense wickedness.

"Indeed, we sustained injuries from the Slaughter Blood Evil Sword, and even to this day, those peculiar energies persist within us..."

Red Dust Supreme confessed truthfully.

"Hmm."

Ye Yun gave a single nod.

The strange energies emanating from the Slaughter Blood Evil Sword were indeed potent; he had personally witnessed their effects.

However, Ye Yun had only encountered the fractured remnants of the Slaughter Blood Evil Sword.

A complete and intact Slaughter Blood Evil Sword would undoubtedly unleash far more formidable and bizarre energies.

"Did the Seven-star formation and the Taixu Ancient Dragon get suppressed beneath the earth because of you?"

Ye Yun raised his brows, gazing intently into the depths of the ground.

"This wasn't our doing. Instead, a Supreme Spirit from the Divine Land took the initiative to assist us..."

Red Dust Supreme responded.

"Who could it be? Is it perhaps the Nine-tailed Divine Dragon?"

Ye Yun sneered.

The seven Supremes were taken aback, not anticipating that Ye Yun would already know.

"It is indeed the Nine-tailed Divine Dragon, who no longer aligns with the Dragon Clan but has long since become a Supreme Spirit of the Divine Land!"

Red Dust Supreme slowly elaborated.

"This Nine-tailed Divine Dragon has long betrayed the Dragon Clan..."

Supreme Seven Kills added.

"What deeper motive lies behind the Nine-tailed Divine Dragon's actions towards you?"

Ye Yun's eyes flickered as he inquired indifferently.

"We seven Supremes have been residing in the Valley of Sky Burial, refraining from venturing out easily. Therefore, we've established proxies within the Divine Land to aid us in acquiring rare treasures, much like the previous Sect of Seven Kills..."

Red Dust Supreme paused for a moment before continuing, "Although our Valley of Sky Burial is a formidable force, we deliberately avoid engaging in worldly conflicts. The Nine-tailed Divine Dragon sought to gain our favor and subsequently dispatched the corpse of the Taixu Ancient Dragon, while also erecting a Grand Seven Star Array. This arrangement enabled us to absorb the void power residing within the Taixu Ancient Dragon's remains. By assimilating and comprehending this void power unique to the Dragon Clan, we seven have extended our lifespans considerably..."

"The corpse of the Taixu Ancient Dragon?"

Ye Yun's brow furrowed, his expression abruptly turning frigid.

Could the Taixu Ancient Dragon be dead?

Was it possible that... it was truly killed by the Nine-tailed Divine Dragon?

The Taixu Ancient Dragon was, after all, one of the Ten Super Divine Dragons.

It possessed a reputation comparable to the Nine-tailed Divine Dragon, renowned for its astounding innate divine abilities. How could it possibly have perished?

For an instant.

A feeling of unease settled within Ye Yun's heart.

"The Taixu Ancient Dragon has indeed met its end; this corpse was merely sent..."

Red Dust Supreme stated nervously.

"Activate the formation!"

Ye Yun commanded with a cold tone.

"Yes!"

Red Dust Supreme complied, joining the other Supremes in a collective effort, each channeling a spell into the mountain.

Despite being severed by Ye Yun, the mountain of Supreme Seven Kills still preserved its foundational structure, thus retaining some capacity to manifest the formation's power.

Rumble...

The earth shuddered.

A colossal chasm gradually unfurled.

Deep within the subterranean expanse.

A massive Taixu Ancient Dragon lay sprawled across the ground.

Its ethereal body was inert and chillingly still.

Streams of potent void power were continuously emanating from it.

Seven luminous chains were impaled into the Taixu Ancient Dragon's body, extending outwards to connect with the seven surrounding mountains.

"It truly is deceased..."

Ye Yun probed silently, detecting no residual life force.

Despite its immense size, this draconic carcass was ensnared by the formation. Unlike the previously encountered eyeball, not even a fragment of the Taixu Ancient Dragon's avatar had manifested.

...
