Free Web NovelThe newcomer was none other than the second sibling of the Xiao Family—Xiao Lingxue.
Xiao Lingxue had displayed exceptional talent from a young age, triggering heavenly phenomena that drew the attention of a Supreme Elder from the Misty Sacred Palace who happened to be passing by. She was taken in as a disciple and her cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. She had achieved an impressive ranking in the Myriad Races Heavenly Genius Grand Competition. With Xiao Sha's help, she had even awakened a legendary divine body. In just six hundred years of cultivation, she had broken through to the Nirvana realm. She was truly a favored daughter of heaven.
When the Xiao Family faced impending disaster, Xiao Lingxue had sent the most talented younger disciples into the Misty Sacred Palace. Her duty was to preserve the final bloodline of the Xiao Family… Yet in the end, she could not bear to sit idly by while her family was destroyed and her brothers and sisters were slaughtered. She left the Misty Sacred Palace alone and returned to the Xiao Family.
She had arrived just in time to witness this scene.
Xiao Lingxue burned with fury. She recognized Su Chen as Sha Shengzi—a genius who had gained some fame during the Myriad Races Heavenly Genius Grand Competition. He was nothing more than a dog at her fourth brother's side, yet he now dared to lead an attack on her Xiao Family!
Su Chen naturally recognized Xiao Lingxue as well. She had displayed considerable strength in the grand competition and had clearly undergone some fortuitous transformation since then.
Xiao Lingxue demanded, "Sha Shengzi, release my father at once!"
Beneath his mask, Su Chen let out a contemptuous, disdainful laugh. He knew Xiao Lingxue looked down on him, but he did not care. He lifted the Xiao Patriarch and exerted a gentle force with his hand.
A violent storm of origin energy erupted. Before Xiao Lingxue's eyes, her father did not even have time to scream before he turned into a mist of blood.
Su Chen said coldly, "This seat… hates being threatened the most."
Seeing her closest kin die right in front of her, Xiao Lingxue lost all reason in her rage. She attacked Su Chen directly. Her divine body phenomenon manifested like a celestial maiden descending from the heavens, intending to slay him on the spot.
In the Dharma-Ending Age, a Nirvana realm cultivator of just over six hundred years was indeed a genius with the potential to become a Saint in the future.
Facing Xiao Lingxue's lethal strike, Su Chen merely raised his hand and extended a single finger. Endless slaughtering force swirled at his fingertip, condensing into a blood-colored mountain. With the force of ten thousand thunderbolts, it annihilated Xiao Lingxue's divine body phenomenon and suppressed her completely.
Her ice-crystal-like feathered robe was instantly dyed crimson. The once lofty, goddess-like figure had been reduced to a prisoner beneath the blood mountain.

Under Xiao Lingxue's incredulous gaze, Su Chen slowly walked up to her and said, "Surprised? Let me tell you something you don't know. Your fourth brother Xiao Sha, also known as Young Master Wusheng, was personally killed by me."
Xiao Lingxue's eyes widened in shock… then fury. "Impossible! How could you possibly have killed Fourth Brother?!"
Su Chen ignored her rage and continued, "Besides personally killing Xiao Sha, this seat also killed your eldest brother Xiao Xuance, your third brother Xiao Jin, your father, and the rest of your clansmen. Your little sister Xiao Yueli will die as well, and so will you—at my hands."
Xiao Lingxue stared at Su Chen with eyes full of hatred. Her hair fell across her face, and her peerless beauty now resembled a vengeful ghost crawling out of hell. Trapped beneath the blood mountain, she spoke through gritted teeth, each word dripping with blood and resentment, "I… will definitely… kill you…"
Su Chen smiled. "Or perhaps this seat will kill you first."
He raised his hand and pointed. Killing intent condensed into a blade of slaughter. With a single thought, he could execute Xiao Lingxue.
At this life-and-death moment, the sky suddenly split open. Vast starry skies could be faintly seen through the rift. A gigantic arm stretched out from the crack, pouring down endless Saint might. The owner of that arm reached directly for Xiao Lingxue, intending to snatch her away.
All living beings within a million miles trembled at the sight.
"A Saint… It's actually a Saint taking action!"
Countless powerful martial artists watched in horror. In the Eternal World, no Saint had shown themselves for several hundred years. Yet now, a Saint had taken action, and the direction… was the Xiao Imperial Clan?
"It's that Supreme Elder from the Misty Sacred Palace, a mighty Saint famous from two thousand years ago… Just how powerful has he become now?"
Some ancient existences opened their eyes. There were not many Saints in the Eternal World, and it was easy to recognize the aura of the one who had acted.
But just as everyone was shocked by a Saint making a move, Something even more terrifying happened—something that made everyone's blood run cold.
Inside the Xiao Imperial Palace.
Xiao Lingxue's eyes shifted from joy to utter despair in an instant.
From the crack in the void, Saint blood poured down like a river of blood.
From the other side of the rift came countless sorrowful cries. The giant hand that had reached out from the crack was now torn to pieces.
Laws churned violently, and the heavens themselves seemed to wail. Within a million miles, every living being felt a wave of sorrow.
"The Saint from the Misty Sacred Palace… is dead!"
An invincible Saint had acted, and he had died instantly!
Beside Su Chen appeared a shadowy, hunched figure. In its hand dangled a beautiful severed head. Between the brows was a familiar beauty mark that Xiao Lingxue recognized instantly—it belonged to her master, the Supreme Elder of the Misty Sacred Palace!
"The Killing Ancestor said: whoever dares to move against you shall be killed."
The hunched shadow carried a name that made the myriad races tremble… the Soul Extinguishing Saint King. A butcher stained with endless blood, he had slain countless powerhouses and destroyed innumerable races. Yet this very butcher now looked at Su Chen with deep, hidden wariness… freёwebnovel.com
This person was even more ruthless than him… The Soul Extinguishing Saint King considered himself cruel enough, but he had never done anything so heart-devouring. Step by step, this man had destroyed the Xiao Family, forcing loved ones to watch their kin die before their eyes, even luring out every possible threat. He was a calm, ruthless, meticulous, and profoundly scheming monster—far more terrifying than the previous Killing Emperor successor by a thousand or ten thousand times.
The Soul Extinguishing Saint King lowered his head. He would rather fight a great enemy to the death than offend such a terrifying figure. Otherwise, he would end up like the Life-Slaughter Saint King.
