Top enlightenment at 100 years old Chapter 650 - 633: Breaking Through to True Immortal, Reunion with the Lost Dao Vessel

"What are you trying to do?"

Sensing a hint of peril, the gray-haired elder's countenance abruptly altered.

Rule Dao Patterns radiated from the black-gold saber he gripped, seemingly eager to shatter Ji Haoyuan's imposed seal.

Yet, Ji Haoyuan would never allow him that chance.

In a mere instant, the Divine Dao Tablet burst forth from within his body.

Instantly, a supreme forbidden energy surged out, making the black-gold saber in the gray-haired elder's grasp wail in terror, as though fearing a horrifying entity.

"What?"

The gray-haired elder's pupils shrank in shock.

Before he could respond, a beam of ethereal, illusory radiance erupted from the Divine Dao Tablet.

Crack!

With a single blow, innumerable fissures spiderwebbed across the black-gold saber's blade in the gray-haired elder's hand.

The elder himself suffered the same fate.

Both his fleshly body and Primordial Spirit deflated like punctured sacks, Life Essence Qi pouring endlessly from them.

"What is that?"

In a sudden flash of realization, sheer dread overwhelmed the gray-haired elder's gaze.

But the next instant brought total annihilation.

Beneath that illusory brilliance, the gray-haired elder and his black-gold saber detonated into scattered ashes across the sky, leaving no blood fog behind—completely erased.

Everyone in the Divine Ruins who saw this couldn't suppress a bone-deep chill creeping into their souls.

Yet moments later, a strange power pulled at their minds, forcing vivid memory fragments to replay within.

A subtle glow flickered in Ji Haoyuan's eyes.

Empowered by the Divine Dao Tablet, he had astonishingly extracted the memories of those onlookers.

As moments passed, the demons and murderous cultivators among them had their consciousnesses utterly extinguished.

Their entire beings dissolved into nothingness, like drifting motes.

Newcomers to the Divine Ruins, or those without strong ties to him or grave sins, found only their relevant memories wiped clean before being expelled.

Some time afterward.

Once Ji Haoyuan retracted his influence and vanished from sight, the lingering observers were dumbfounded to see the Divine Ruins purged entirely by the heavens and earth.

Emptiness reigned within—no souls remained.

"Destroyed... utterly destroyed.

Nanhua has razed the Divine Ruins!"

A voice cried out in disbelief.

Instantly, all grasped this as the most monumental incident in years.

Sects, clans, and even Star Sky Strong Races reeled in astonishment.

None had foreseen Ji Haoyuan wielding the power to annihilate the Divine Ruins.

After all, this power had dominated the Lower Realm for eons.

It embodied the intentions of Upper Realm titans.

Nevertheless.

Ji Haoyuan showed no concern and wiped them out completely.

Unwittingly, terror gripped some, anxiety plagued others, and unease spread wide.

Naturally.

Certain voices sneered derisively.

Ji Haoyuan basked in supreme glory now, single-handedly crushing the mighty Divine Ruins.

But what of tomorrow?

Links between Lower and Upper Realms loomed inevitable.

Ji Haoyuan, acting without restraint, eradicated their Lower Realm outpost.

How would Upper Realm overlords react upon learning this?

When they arrive, how would Ji Haoyuan and Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land face them?

Ji Haoyuan ignored such external clamor for now.

He had returned to Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land.

Dispatching an avatar to confer with Elder Wan, Fairy Yuehua, Luo Changsheng, and others on aftermath details—while reactivating the Mountain Protection Array—his true body had slipped back to his former Daoist Field Spirit Peak.

There, he soon reunited with old friends from bygone days, like his Daoist companion Jiang Miaoran.

Including Miao Zixi, Master Lei Xia, True Monarch Yanfa, and more.

He lingered with them for days.

Only afterward did Ji Haoyuan enter his personal cave abode to sort the spoils from his Divine Ruins expedition.

Despite its Lower Realm origins, the Divine Ruins hoarded plentiful treasures.

No fewer than ten varieties of ninth-grade immortal materials filled his haul.

Yet what he prized above all was the Divine Ruins' secret cultivation manual.

Derived from the Upper Realm’s Divine Celestial Palace core scriptures, it bore the name Gui Xu Divine Origin Manual.

Mastering this Cultivation Technique could elevate a cultivator to True Immortal realm at its peak.

This underscored how dearly the Upper Realm’s Divine Celestial Palace cherished their Lower Realm's Divine Ruins.

Beyond that, spoils from Fairy Tianyan, Senior Brother Hua Zhen, and others also drew Ji Haoyuan's keen interest.

Combined with his Upper Realm reserves, these sufficed for True Immortal cultivation even here in the Lower Realm.

Therefore.

In the days that followed, Ji Haoyuan left an avatar handling worldly affairs.

His true body secluded itself in the cave dwelling for dedicated cultivation.
