Jiang Fan, the new City Lord of Luoning City, declared his investigation into the previous City Lord's death and accused a traitor among the assembled Immortals. When three Heavenly Immortals dismissed his claims as a ploy for wealth, Jiang Fan immediately attacked. He unleashed his Lifebound Immortal Technique, the Erosion of Time Saber, a powerful fusion of the Path of Destiny and Time Law. The attack bypassed their defenses, rapidly aging and decaying the three Heavenly Immortals, draining their remaining lifespan and shattering their physical forms.

The core Power of Destiny of the Erosion of Time Saber erupted, countless fine gray Life Silk reached out and tightly entwined the flickering Life Lamp and dim Life Star of the three, forcibly plundering their last remaining trace of Lifespan foundation.

The torrent of Lifespan that was barely maintaining life was instantly drained completely, not a drop left.

The physical body’s decay was merely a prelude; the true killing move of the Erosion of Time Saber all fell upon the Dao of Destiny Origin.

Endless gray Life Silk of Destiny emerged from the saber’s light, densely locking down the Life Stars above the heads, Dantian Life Core, and entire Life Orbit trajectory of the three, triggering the extreme Lifespan plundering Dao Principles.

This technique does not slowly deplete but instantly drains all remaining Lifespan of the target, including their deliberately preserved Life Extension, remnants of origin vitality, Heavenly Dao’s Reserved Lifespan, not leaving a drop or blade of grass.

At the same time, forcibly severing all their Life Extension causes, Lifespan opportunities, nurturing by the River of Destiny, completely shutting down any possibility of their Dao of Destiny revival.

The flickering Life Lamp instantly extinguished, the eternally suspended Life Star completely shattered, cultivation Life Orbit layer by layer fractured, thoroughly abolished, completely severing all their survival foundations, declaring absolute death from the level of destiny.

The third slash, Deceitful Silence Soul Erosion, Spirit Core Annihilation, Divine Soul eradicated.

Their Divine Soul had already endured the erosion of time, mottled and fragile, utterly unable to resist this dead silent Power of Destiny.

In an instant, the Divine Soul was thoroughly corroded, decomposed, and disintegrated, all spiritual intelligence, consciousness, thoughts totally annihilated and dispersed.

The ancient and eerie Dao Rhyme enveloped in the saber’s body is the most sinister, unsolvable core of this technique, specialized in devouring the spiritual intelligence of living souls.

This eerie aura transcends good and evil, transcends the Five Elements, transcends reincarnation, inherently possessing the Power of Origin that annihilates spirituality and corrupts the soul core, deeply invading through the broken Life Orbit into the Divine Soul Origin.

"Damn, this bastard really wants to kill us, and actually can kill us."

"What kind of joke is this? We have a bright future, we are about to ascend to Golden Immortal, how can we die like this?"

"I, I regret it, had I known the moment this kid appeared, I should have ambushed him, instead of being killed by this guy’s slash, my death is too unjust."

"How can such Immortals exist in the world, not even giving a chance to argue, I am not reconciled."

The fragile Divine Thought, Spiritual Sense, Divine Soul Core, Dao Heart Enlightenment of the three Heavenly Immortals, under the corrosion of the eerie dead silent power, instantly began to decompose, decay, and disintegrate.

No chance of pain or struggle, all self-awareness, cultivation memories, Immortal Dao enlightenment, Divine Soul persistence completely crushed and dissolved, the Divine Soul not scattered but utterly eroded, assimilated, wiped out to zero.

In just a moment, the Divine Soul of the three Heavenly Immortals completely annihilated, all spiritual intelligence gone, utterly reduced to three empty, soulless, lifeless hollow shells, no longer bearing any traits of living beings.

In just a moment, the three Heavenly Immortals scattered soul, Divine Soul completely destroyed, reduced to three corpses losing all spirituality, leaving only empty husks.

Yet the mutation did not stop there.

After the complete extinction of the Divine Soul, draining of Lifespan, and collapse of Life Orbit, the three corpses triggered aberrant mutation.

Ordinary cultivators die and body and spirit disperse, but these three Heavenly Immortals had long betrayed the Human Race, becoming members of the Immortal Race, their souls fallen, under the continued infection, distortion, mutation of the eerie dead silent power, completely breaking free of the Immortal Dao form, transforming madly into dead silent monster form.

The originally refined and sacred Immortal Body quickly swelled and twisted, the shriveled skin and flesh oddly surged, hardened, and scabbed, producing layers of gray-black decaying hard armor; upright Immortal Bone distortedly protruded, limbs abnormally elongated, fingertips transformed into sharp pitch-black claws; originally clear Immortal Eyes completely hollowed, transformed into pitch-black Abyss, enveloped in threads of dead silent black mist.

They are no longer noble and sacred Heavenly Immortals, completely transformed into three hideous-looking, dead silent eerie monster corpses.

Their bodies no longer possess Immortal Dao aura, leaving only decayed, dead silent, eerie doomsday texture, body aberrantly twisted, terrifying outline, emitting fierce evil spirit aura devouring vitality and withering all things.

Boom——!

Moments later, the last trace of immortal Dao Rhyme around the three mutant monster corpses utterly shattered, steadily falling into the void, heavily crashing onto the ground, raising a sky full of dry ash.

"What’s happening?"

"How did the three Heavenly Immortal lords become like this?"

Numerous Earth Immortals’ expressions drastically changed, showing an incredulous look.

They originally wanted to hold accountable this new Lord City Lord for the unprovoked attack on the three venerable Heavenly Immortals, even though he was an Inner Sect Disciple of the Time Sect, this too was a serious crime.

But now, their pupils shrank, completely not expecting Lei Qingcang, Zhao Xuanzhen, and Fu Xuance, the three Heavenly Immortals, after dying, unexpectedly transformed into three eerie corpses.

This is truly unfathomable.

If not witnessed firsthand, no one would believe such absurdity.

"The result is clear, these three Heavenly Immortals have already sided with the Immortal Race, transformed into eerie monsters."

"Impossible, these three lords have guarded Luoning City for tens of millions of years, achieving countless merits, how could they betray the Human Race?"

"Facts speak louder than words, their corpses prove it, in fact, as far as I know, these three lords were nearing the end of their Lifespan, without hope of ascending to Golden Immortal, now taking risks to side with the Immortal Race, is not impossible."

"No wonder over the years, in our Luoning City many cases of Heavenly talents dying have occurred, and the previous City Lord was unreasonably besieged by the Immortal Race and died, perhaps these three traitors had a hand in it."

"The fall of three Heavenly Immortals is so terrifying."

The faces of many Immortals were extremely grim.

The myriad strange and indescribable events that had transpired in Luoning City in the past now instantly made sense to them.

No wonder the city has always seen some unsolvable cases occur.

It’s likely that these were perpetrated by the three Heavenly Immortals.

It’s likely the previous City Lord uncovered some of their shady dealings, which led to his demise.

However, they hadn’t anticipated that the newly appointed City Lord would so quickly discern the treachery of Lei Qingcang, Zhao Xuanzhen, and Fu Xuance, the three esteemed Heavenly Immortals, and take immediate lethal action, leaving them no opportunity to escape.

But upon careful reflection, perhaps this wasn’t a coincidence.

Rather, it was inevitable.

This newly appointed Lord City Lord certainly has considerable backing.

It’s plausible that the upper echelons of the Time Sect had long been aware of the depravity of these Heavenly Immortals but remained silent, intending to grant the newly appointed City Lord a significant achievement.

After all, resolving the matter involving three human traitors upon just taking office is an undeniable achievement.

Previously, they were under the impression that he was merely a Heavenly Immortal with no backing.

But now it appears that his backing is unfathomably deep.

Even with all their connections, they couldn’t trace anything.

Thinking of this, every Immortal looking at Jiang Fan now did so with utmost reverence.

It’s likely that everything transpiring in Luoning City has long been under the control of Time City.

"You must immediately go and take control of the three major Celestial Immortal Clans: the Lei Family, Zhao Family, and Fu Family."

"I suspect that among these three families, there are other Immortals who’ve betrayed the Human Race."

"If even one Immortal from the three families escapes from here, you’ll be held accountable."

Jiang Fan spoke, his body exuding terrifying killing intent.

"Yes, Lord City Lord."

The many Earth Immortals exclaimed immediately.

Undoubtedly, these three Celestial Immortal Clans were utterly doomed.

Their three ancestors had actually betrayed the Human Race, having committed grave crimes worthy of the annihilation of nine clans.

Even with sky-scraping backgrounds, their road leads to death.

Yet soon, excitement replaced their grim expressions.

After all, these three Celestial Immortal Clans had amassed far too much of Luoning City’s wealth.

They’d suppressed countless Earth Immortal Clans, offering not a shred of benefit.

But now, things were different.

With the inevitable downfall of the three Celestial Immortal Clans, a plethora of benefits would soon open up in Luoning City.

Most of these benefits would naturally need to be handed over to the Lord City Lord.

However, even if just a small portion were left, it would be enough for these Earth Immortal Clans to reap enormous returns.

This is the so-called ’whale fall, all things thrive.’

If these Celestial Immortal Clans hadn’t fallen, when would it ever be their turn, these Earth Immortals, to rise?

Rumble~~~

In an instant, the entire Luoning City military mobilized, swiftly sealing off the three Celestial Immortal Clans, capturing each Immortal from these families, and imprisoning them.

At the same time, Jiang Fan immediately reported today’s events to the Golden Immortal Elders through the Time Token.

After all, the sudden demise of the three Heavenly Immortals warranted a report.

Moreover, he had just made an outstanding contribution by discovering the Human Race traitors, deserving legitimate recognition.
