Against The Sky Supreme

“Zong Chen, I see you’re tired of living!” Chu Wuhen glared fiercely at Zong Chen, his eyes filled with killing intent.

“Brother Chu, you really have quite the presence!” Zong Chen squinted at Chu Wuhen and coldly replied, “May I ask if I have said anything wrong?”

“The fact is, you are being trampled underfoot by Tan Yun.”

Hearing Tan Yun's name, Chu Wuhen gritted his teeth in anger. “Don’t mention that scoundrel Tan Yun to me! If it weren’t for…”

Before Chu Wuhen could finish, Xin Bingshuan interrupted coldly, “Shut up! What right do you have to speak about Tan Yun like that?”

“Tan Yun won against you fairly; you should accept your defeat instead of speaking ill of him behind his back.”

“Heh.” Chu Wuhen laughed bitterly in rage. “Xin Bingshuan, what did I say wrong? Why are you so agitated defending him?”

“Tan Yun is a great contributor to our Four Arts Star Domain, and I won’t allow you to speak ill of him!” Xin Bingshuan declared. “If you dare say another word, don’t blame me for being rude!”

“And let me tell you, I am defending him!”

Chu Wuhen took a deep breath, his gaze cold and fierce. “Xin Bingshuan, don't overestimate your worth. It’s your fortune that this holy son has taken a liking to you…”

Before he could finish, Xin Bingshuan coldly interrupted him, “Get lost!”

“Alright, very well!” Chu Wuhen laughed in fury. “Today, this holy son declares, any woman I set my sights on will be mine, so you better watch out!”

“And you, Zong Chen!” Chu Wuhen pointed angrily at Zong Chen. “Xin Bingshuan is my woman. This is your last warning: stay away from her, or an accident will befall you at any moment!”

After leaving that parting shot, Chu Wuhen soared into the air and disappeared in the blink of an eye…

After Chu Wuhen left, Xin Bingshuan vented her anger to Zong Chen for a moment and said, “I need to return to the Four Arts Star Domain.”

“I’ll escort you,” Zong Chen offered.

“No need.” Xin Bingshuan replied, her skirt billowing as she shot into the sky, disappearing without a trace…

Watching Xin Bingshuan vanish, Zong Chen clenched his fists, determination etched on his face. “Bingshuan, regardless of whether I can win your heart in the end, I will protect you and ensure Chu Wuhen does not succeed!”

……

As the sun set, the remnants of light looked like blood.

In the Human Race Star Domain, the residence of the palace master, Dominion Star.

On Dominion Star, the heaven and earth divine essence was extraordinarily rich, with thin mist and flowing clouds swirling around an ancient tower.

In the first floor of the ancient tower.

In the main hall, Tan Yun and Dao Kun stood respectfully in front of Fang Zixi.

Fang Zixi flipped her jade hand, revealing a set of black armor, and handed it to Tan Yun. “This armor is called War Heavenly Ancestor Armor. It is a supreme Dao King Artifact, capable of withstanding a full-force strike from a great perfection realm expert in the Dao King realm.”

“Thank you, palace master.” Tan Yun took the armor with both hands, his expression excited.

“Hmm.” Fang Zixi nodded and said, “Tan Yun, you may leave for now. I need to discuss something with Dao Kun.”

“I obey, I take my leave.” Tan Yun complied and exited the ancient tower.

“Palace master, may I ask what you need from me?” Dao Kun bowed.

Fang Zixi seemed to recall something, her eyes revealing a hint of anger. “Dao Kun, it’s time I tell you about the death of your master, Vice Palace Master Xin.”

“Vice Palace Master Xin did not die from tribulation; rather, after successfully passing the tribulation, she was killed by the Ancestral Vice Palace Master, Nine-headed Ancestor Dragon, while she was weak.”

Upon hearing this, Dao Kun’s expression turned sorrowful. “Palace master, I’ve already learned of this.”

“How did you find out?” Fang Zixi asked, surprised.

“Reporting to the palace master,” Dao Kun replied honestly, “initially, a remnant soul of my master, about to fade away, found me and explained the cause of death.”
