Chapter 29: The Four Lords Kill Someone

Mu Zun emerged from the Dimensional Sphere and immediately flew toward Baoqing Sword, wielding the Wind-Controlling Drum. With the immense power of Mu Xingxianyuan, the drum began to vibrate violently.
Various illusory yet real storm spaces suddenly formed, enveloping Baoqing Sword entirely. Within these storm spaces, in addition to the fierce attacks of Mu’s power, there was also a soul-binding sound. Mu’s power struck at the core of Baoqing Sword, destroying all the Xianyuan infused by Yuwen Chuanpeng. Meanwhile, the soul-binding sound targeted Yuwen Chuanpeng’s spiritual awareness, severing his connection to Baoqing Sword.
When Yuwen Chuanpeng saw Jin Zun, Shui Zun, and Tu Zun charging at him, he had no time to focus on Baoqing Sword. Due to his lapse in attention, he lost contact with it immediately.
With just one attack, Mu Zun defeated Baoqing Sword. He then flew over to it, wrapped it in Mu Xingxianyuan, and placed it back inside the Dimensional Sphere.
Yuwen Chuanpeng was filled with rage, but he was powerless—Jin Zun, Shui Zun, and Tu Zun had already launched their attacks.
Jin Zun held the Golden Sword, Shui Zun carried the Water Dividing Vessel, and Tu Zun wielded the Earth-Diving Shuttle. They all emerged from the Dimensional Sphere, with the three weapons flying simultaneously toward the stunned Yuwen Chuanpeng.
The Golden Sword swung through the air, releasing countless sharp sword energies like gleaming gold, all aimed at Yuwen Chuanpeng at once. The Water Dividing Vessel, fueled by Xianyuan, spat out ten deep-blue water dragons. As if possessed of souls, the dragons roared and charged toward Yuwen Chuanpeng. The Earth-Diving Shuttle, infused with Earth Xingxianyuan, expanded rapidly before contracting again, shooting toward Yuwen Chuanpeng at a speed akin to an illusion.
These three mid-tier Xian artifacts, all of the Earth Soul Xian level, attacking together left Yuwen Chuanpeng in utter disbelief.
On Fangyang Star, there were only eight Earth Xians, all of the Earth Soul Xian level. Where could such Earth Soul Xian level artifacts come from? Yet now, four people had appeared here, each wielding one such artifact—it was utterly bizarre.
However, there was no time for Yuwen Chuanpeng to ponder the origins of Jin Zun, Shui Zun, and Tu Zun. Three attacks came rushing at him.
“Hmph, the power of restraint!”
In a hurry, Yuwen Chuanpeng snapped orders. His hands moved swiftly, and a green light sphere formed, protecting his entire body.

At this moment, Yuwen Chuanpeng immediately unleashed the power of Wood to form a glowing sphere that could withstand the three attacks. With his cultivation as a higher-tier Human Soul Immortal, the domain he created was a thousand times stronger than that of a Human Soul Immortal. All these domains combined to form a glowing sphere, essentially creating a domain space capable of resisting attacks from Earth Soul Immortal-level immortal weapons.

Jin Zun, Shui Zun, and Tu Zun, all at the level of six-star Human Soul Immortals, possessed three mid-tier immortal weapons. However, limited by their cultivation, they could only generate power equivalent to that of higher-tier Human Soul Immortals.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The three attacks struck the blue glowing sphere simultaneously, causing it to explode. The entire forest trembled, and many ancient trees were destroyed by the energy waves.

The dazzling golden sword energy vanished without a trace, and the ten water dragons dispersed upon contact. Yet, the Earth Diving Spear attacked with its true form. Although the power of Wood tightly woven the entire sphere together, it still couldn’t withstand the sharpness of a mid-tier immortal weapon.

The Earth Diving Spear pierced into the sphere.

“Ah…”

Yuwen Chuanpeng screamed, his voice filled with deep regret. In his haste, he had thought of ways to defend against magical attacks but overlooked the true attack from the Earth Diving Spear, a genuine mid-tier immortal weapon.

How could the defense of a Human Soul Immortal’s immortal essence withstand the sharpness of an Earth Soul Immortal-level Earth Diving Spear?

The Earth Diving Spear directly penetrated Yuwen Chuanpeng’s body.

A fist-sized blood hole appeared in his chest, one that couldn’t be healed—seemingly because the Earth Soul Immortal essence carried by the spear prevented the wound from sealing.

Since his cultivation had reached that of a Human Soul Immortal, his body was entirely composed of primordial energy. As long as his soul remained intact, Yuwen Chuanpeng wouldn’t die. But with this blood hole, he needed to use his Wood immortal essence to repair his body. Worse still, he now faced combined attacks from Jin Zun, Mu Zun, Shui Zun, and Tu Zun.

Without enemies, Yuwen Chuanpeng could have focused on healing. But under these circumstances, he had no time to recover.

Jin Zun, Mu Zun, Shui Zun, and Tu Zun had already planned their strategy while inside the Dimensional Sphere. Now that they had taken Yuwen Chuanpeng’s Precious Green Sword and pierced his body, they certainly wouldn’t give him another chance.

“You have no chance!”

Jin Zun smiled faintly, immediately picked up the Shangjin Sword, and swung it wildly several more times. Instantly, thousands of dazzling golden sword auras formed a sword formation, resembling a triangular storm, and rushed toward Yuwen Chuanpeng.
“Is being a Human Soul Immortal that so remarkable?”
Shui Zun said with a smile, waving his water pot. Ten kilometers-long blue dragons rose simultaneously, carrying a cold, domineering aura as they lunged at Yuwen Chuanpeng.
“I’ll borrow some earth to bury you.”
Tu Zun also spoke with a smile before throwing out his Subterranean Shuttle. As the shuttle flew like a phantom, swirling yellow sand surged behind it, covering the sky and earth, and immediately enveloped Yuwen Chuanpeng.
Mu Zun, meanwhile, flew over while beating the Wind-Controlling Drum. Instead of attacking right away, he said with a faint smile, “I’ll rest for a while. If you’re still alive, I’ll come finish you off.”
Seeing his own injuries, Yuwen Chuanpeng only wanted to escape; he had no time to deal with these four suddenly appearing figures, so he tried to fly away.
However, due to the blood holes in his body, his Immortal Essence couldn’t circulate quickly, preventing him from flying fast. His strength was likely even inferior to that of a two-star Human Soul Immortal.
Naturally, realizing he couldn’t escape, Yuwen Chuanpeng had no choice but to turn around and confront these three attacks with his own strength.
“The power of withering—destroy everything!”
Yuwen Chuanpeng roared, merging his hands and spreading them out. Another green light sphere appeared beside him, filled with the power of withering.
When the golden sword auras struck the sphere, they seemed to turn green and rot, forming streams of green liquid that fell from the sky. When the water dragons hit the sphere, they quickly turned into black liquid, like water from a well that had remained desolate for ten thousand years, also falling from above.
The yellow sand falling from the sky settled on the sphere, turning from yellow to black and forming layers of sludge that dropped one by one.
This was Mu Zun’s power of withering—corroding everything and defiling all things.
Seeing his power of withering block all three attacks, Yuwen Chuanpeng relaxed slightly and tried to fly away again, but suddenly felt excruciating pain in his lower abdomen.
The Subterranean Shuttle had pierced his lower abdomen once more.
It turned out that Tu Zun had used the Subterranean Shuttle to create the effect of swirling yellow sand as a decoy, distracting Yuwen Chuanpeng with the sword auras and water dragons. The real killing blow was still the Subterranean Shuttle at the level of a Earth Soul Immortal.
Against the domain created by a Human Soul Immortal, the Subterranean Shuttle could easily penetrate through it.

Yuwen Chuanpeng stared blankly at the two blood holes on his body. Pain was no longer something he cared about; his entire heart was now filled with fear.
Mu Zun, realizing that Yuwen Chuanpeng wasn’t dead, immediately stepped on the wind-driven drum and struck it four times in a row.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The drumbeats spread, affecting the entire forest once again—trees collapsed, and the ground was torn apart. In the air, a square barrier appeared, surrounding Yuwen Chuanpeng entirely. This barrier was filled with soul-binding sounds.
During his battle with Zhu Bao, Yuwen Chuanpeng had already expended a great deal of his immortal energy. Now, after being struck twice in a row, almost all of his remaining energy was gone. There was no way he could resist Mu Zun’s full-powered attacks.
“You people of the Zhu family—our Yuwen clan will never let you go.”
Yuwen Chuanpeng’s body was torn to pieces by the storm within the barrier, and his Soul Flower was shattered by the soul-binding sounds. He died completely.
At that moment, Zhu Bao was brought out of the Dimensional Sphere by the Artifact God. The first thing he saw was the tragic sight of Yuwen Chuanpeng’s death.
“You… actually killed him so easily?”
Zhu Bao still found it hard to believe that Jin Zun, Mu Zun, Shui Zun, and Tu Zun had effortlessly killed a high-ranking Immortal Soul in just two attempts. Of course, this made him even more wary of Qu Yi’s strength.
Seeing Zhu Bao’s almost stunned expression, Jin Zun flew over to him and said with a smile, “Zhu Bao, stop being foolish and keep moving.”
After saying that, Jin Zun, Shui Zun, and Tu Zun entered the Dimensional Sphere, while Mu Zun, after finding Yuwen Chuanpeng’s space ring, also entered it immediately.
Zhu Bao mumbled an “oh” in a dazed manner, turned mechanically, and only regained his senses just as he was about to fly.
“It seems that having my Soul Flower under control isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Following this mysterious person, my cultivation level might even improve,” Zhu Bao thought with a hint of joy.
Then, he continued flying toward Yuanxingzong.
Inside the Dimensional Sphere, Mu Zun took out Yuwen Chuanpeng’s space ring and threw it to Qu Yi’s true form.
Qu Yi’s immortal consciousness scanned it and found 100,000 Origin Stones along with some precious materials—and even a jade slip.
Qu Yi didn’t place much value on the Origin Stones, as he could use chaos energy to turn ordinary ores into Origin Stones in large quantities. As for those precious materials, they paled in comparison to the immortal realm materials left to him by Emperor Hao.
So, Qu Yi took out the jade slip first.

“Hehe, this jade slip contains records of all the wealth privately owned by Yuwen Chuanpeng. Indeed, it includes information about a Yulin mine that Yuwen Chuanpeng discovered on his own, of which the entire Yuwen family is unaware. Fire Lord is about to arrive at Fangyang Star; from now on, let him take charge of managing this Yulin mine,” Qu Yi said with a faint smile.
By this time, Qu Yi already had a plan in mind.
