Chapter 407: Chapter 407

The territory of the Fire Bull Clan.

Rivers of red blood flowed as the Clan Leader of the Fire Bull Clan knelt on the ground in humiliation, begging desperately, "Sir, Sir, we surrender! Please stop the killing!"

Roy sheathed his longsword, a detached look in his eyes. "Luo Yue," he asked, "are there any special considerations for this... Fire Bull Clan?"

After glancing at the list and finding no special notes, Luo Yue replied, "No special considerations. They should be of no use to the Divine Son."

"Is that so? Then let’s just exterminate them."

Roy was about to give the order when the Fire Bull Clan Leader clung to his thigh, pleading, "We can be useful! We can charge into battle for you, Sir!"

"PFFT! Just you lot?" Roy scoffed.

"Trash doesn’t deserve to live!"

Knowing the Asura before him would not let his clan survive, the Fire Bull Clan Leader erupted in flames, his Fire Bull Dharma Image wreathed in heavenly fire as it charged at Roy.

A black, one-eyed, one-armed Asura Dharma Image appeared behind Roy. The snow-white longsword swept lightly, instantly shattering the Fire Bull Dharma Image as a rain of blood fell from the sky.

Roy twitched his thigh, and the Fire Bull Clan Leader dissolved into a blood mist. Roy then bellowed, "Hurry up! We have another one next!"

Soon, the Fire Bull Clan, which had long thrived there, was annihilated.

Looking at the pale red Law Crystal in his hand, Roy popped it into his mouth and chewed, then said with disgust, "Such weak Power of Laws. No wonder they were so pathetic. A waste of my time."

Luo Yue, however, seemed quite satisfied. "Roy, your expectations for these minor clans are too high."

"Also, you need to be a bit more careful. Luo Longxiang has already rejected you. If you go too far and this new Divine Son also rejects you, you’ll be sent back to the clan lands."

"And let me be clear, I’m not going back with you this time. The clan lands are incredibly boring."

Roy’s expression darkened. "Can we not talk about this?" he said, annoyed.

"HAHAHA! Roy, you’re the first follower in history to be rejected! I just can’t help it," Luo Yue laughed heartily.

"Next," Roy snapped, his mood souring considerably; he needed to vent somewhere.

That day, a dark time dawned upon the dense forest, all due to Roy’s arrival.

Wherever the towering, one-eyed, one-armed Asura Dharma Image arose, another clan met its doom.

Chewing on a Law Crystal, Roy looked into the void ahead and spoke indifferently, "Shall I invite you out, or shall I beat you out?"

Zi He, a Golden Immortal of the Purple Lightning Clan with purple hair and blue eyes, appeared with a faint smile. "Truly an Asura. I am from the Purple Lightning Clan. My name is—"

"Stop." Roy cut him off. "I didn’t call you out here to listen to your drivel." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NoveIꜰire.net

The black, one-eyed Asura Dharma Image arose, and Roy declared arrogantly, "You’re only worthy to speak your name if you can withstand three of my strikes."

The snow-white longsword swung, unleashing a dark red glint as it slashed towards Zi He.

A Thunder God Dharma Image wielding a massive hammer materialized. Under the immense pressure, the smile on Zi He’s face twisted into a snarl. "Don’t think I’m afraid of you just because you’re an Asura! I am of the Purple Lightning Clan, not to be compared to those lesser clans!"

After three flashes of the blade, Zi He stared in disbelief. "How can you be so strong?"

With those words, Zi He was diced into eight pieces.

Watching the rain of blood, Luo Yue looked utterly exasperated. "These minor clans are so ignorant. Don’t they even know about Extreme Golden Immortals?"

The fundamental goal of cultivation is the pursuit of longevity and freedom. However, the Heavenly Dao became aberrant, threatening to turn Dao Yi cultivators into its puppets. For this reason, many brilliant talents attempted various paths. Although these attempts all failed, it doesn’t mean those paths were entirely useless. The way of the Extreme Golden Immortal is one such path that emerged. They seek neither true Immortality nor to become Dao Yi; they only seek to reach the pinnacle of the Golden Immortal realm and attain true freedom. This is the Extreme Golden Immortal.

"Enough chatter, Luo Yue. There should still be some of those Purple Lightning Clan members over there. Go get some practice," Roy said impatiently.

「Shadowy Corner City」

Chen Jiuge looked at the Golden Immortal from the Purple Lightning Clan, who was relentlessly denouncing Roy. An impatient frown creased Chen Jiuge’s face. "Are you saying my subordinate killed Golden Immortals from your clan?"

"Isn’t the Purple Lightning Clan based on Purple Jade Mountain? I don’t recall sending anyone to Purple Jade Mountain."

"Ah, not on Purple Jade Mountain. It was in the dense forest."

"The dense forest?" Chen Jiuge chuckled, though his eyes held no mirth. "Heh, so your Purple Lightning Clan has designs on the dense forest, do you?"

"Even if the Purple Lightning Clan was in the wrong this time, there was no need to slaughter all our people! That was three Golden Immortals, over a hundred Heavenly Immortals, and a full thousand True Immortals!"

"If you don’t leave now, then you won’t be leaving at all." Behind Tian Yongshan, the faint image of a snow-white pearl emerged.

"Fine, fine, fine! The Purple Lightning Clan will remember this!"

Watching the Purple Lightning Clan’s Golden Immortal storm off with a flick of his sleeve, Tian Yongshan, newly appointed as Chen Jiuge’s personal guard, asked in confusion, "City Lord, why did you let him leave? Even if we had detained him, the Purple Lightning Clan wouldn’t dare to make a fuss."

"There’s no need." Chen Jiuge shook his head and explained, "The Purple Lightning Clan is quite strong. The dense forest is our priority right now. Only by occupying it and using its resources can we rapidly build up our strength to face the great turmoil to come."

"Divine Son, you’re overthinking things," Xiu Wenfei said. She had just appeared in the main hall, wrapped in a bathrobe.

Xiu Wenfei had been enjoying a bath at the beauty salon. Sensing an unfamiliar Golden Immortal’s aura, she had come to investigate and happened to overhear Chen Jiuge’s explanation.

"Elder Wenfei, what brings you here?"

Seemingly unconcerned about her state of undress, Xiu Wenfei leaned back in her chair, crossed her legs, and said casually, "I’ve read a profile on the Purple Lightning Clan. They reside on Purple Jade Mountain. They should have five Immortals, though given their habit of concealing their true strength, it’s likely they have one or two more."
