Immortal of the Ages

The battlefield below was fierce!

Despite this, the skies remained the focal point for millions of onlookers.

More and more of these Arbiters, emboldened and impassioned, cried out Lu Yao's name as they drew nearer.

Yun Xiao ignited the fighting spirit in every Arbiter!

In this moment, those who once scorned Yun Xiao for his audacity, now stood united with the young man.

And this once was merely a few days ago...

A miracle that rose at the speed of light, branding itself in the hearts of every Arbiter within days, heralded as the shining beacon of the Thunder Department!

"Lu Yao! Lu Yao!"

Calls from all directions converged into a thunderous tidal wave, soaring towards the heavens.

Even as a solitary wanderer, when he resolved to fight for the people and for justice, he needed others who shared his path.

Lu An, Liu Mumu, Cao Shuo, and Divine Dawn... They alone were not enough.

Yun Xiao wanted to change the world, and he was right. Shouldn't the right man be supported?

Even though these Arbiters of the Thunder Department did not yet know Yun Xiao's true stance, he was confident he could earn the recognition of the Immortals below Rank 6, who made up the majority of the population!

The millions of Thunder Department Arbiters were just the beginning of what he sought!

"If the day comes when the truth is fully revealed, and these Arbiters refuse to stand with me, then this Great Dao Celestial Realm is truly beyond saving..." Yun Xiao surveyed the sea of people and took a deep breath.

Regardless, his eyes were constantly ablaze!

In his chest still raged that defiant, heaven-defying spirit of challenging injustice!

It was his fate, and even more, his soul!

Amidst the roaring crowd, the youth in platinum-white armor looked impassively at the blood-red storm before him.

"Zhu Shenlu and Greenchild are dead; that shadow devil Xiu has escaped; Yu Shiling is near death, and the rest are utterly defeated. Only you are left," Yun Xiao said.

"Mhm." The woman in red, Wind Fiend, floated in the air like a kite, thin as paper.

She also wanted to flee like Xiu. Sadly, she lacked his ability to become intangible.

Even a gust of wind could not free her from Yun Xiao's grasp!

Lowering her head, Wind Fiend looked at the pale figures below and said tremulously, "The Great Mother forbids the existence of a second corpse demon in the world. By harboring it, you declare an irreconcilable feud with the Great Mother and the entire Celestial Demon Abyss."

"That's just fine," Yun Xiao replied, glancing at the Heaven Burial Sword Soul in his hand. "I don't mind increasing my number of Sword Prisons."

Wind Fiend shook her head, her voice cold and mocking, "You really defy the heavens, but sadly, you're too naive, without a single true friend."

"So?" Yun Xiao responded.

"This world will never belong to a fool like you."

After saying this, Wind Fiend covered her face and burst into mad laughter, her laugh filled with deep scorn. She wasn't mocking Yun Xiao's talents or strength, but rather his naivety and innocence.

"Angry, are you? Kill me then. I'm just a wronged spirit in the wind. What would killing me change?" Wind Fiend shrugged and tilted her chin up, her laughter lingering.

"I don't know how far you'll get, but people like you, who think they can change the world's rules with just their passion, invariably meet a bad end. You keep offending people, infringing on the interests of powerful figures. One day, you'll cross someone you shouldn't have," she said, still smiling.

She wasn't afraid of death. For most demons, born from the grudges of the deceased, death was not frightening. But if she could make Yun Xiao feel lost and afraid of his path before she died, she would have won.

What she didn't expect was that upon hearing this, Yun Xiao laughed.

There was no confusion or timidity in his gaze, just a calm response, "The fact that you say such things shows you truly don't understand what I am."

Wind Fiend laughed even harder.

"Tonight there's a feast in the Thunder Department, and you're the last course," Yun Xiao declared.

It was a grand meal sent from afar by Naraka.

He said this because, in a fury, the Moon Sword Goddess had already executed Yu Shiling.

Below, she swung Yu Shiling's head, fear etched upon it, towards Yun Xiao.

She said nothing, but her actions told Yun Xiao that this was also her oath of allegiance, fighting for him.

At that moment, all the Suan Nis soared into the sky, circling around Yun Xiao!

He stood like a son of thunder, his divine power unmatched!

Wind Fiend saw the fear in Yu Shiling's eyes and her expression finally shifted.

This time, their defeat was too severe!

How would she face the Chaos Sovereign or the Great Mother?

She could no longer laugh, but with bloodshot eyes, stared at Yun Xiao, furiously stirring the storm.

"A summer insect cannot speak of the winter snow," Yun Xiao said coldly, his hands gripping the Heaven Burial Sword Soul.

Around the sword, 13 Sword Prisons now circled.

Beside Yun Xiao, his spirit double manifested, taking the form of the Creator Immortal, with a white lotus in hand that condensed into a three-foot white lotus sword!

"The Great Dao Celestial Realm and the myriad mortal realms under it is ultimately the dining table of the Great Mother!" Wind Fiend wailed miserably, transforming into a blood-red tornado, its bloody maw gaping as it lunged toward Yun Xiao.

"She too is just a dish," Yun Xiao scoffed coldly, waving his hand as nine Suan Nis charged forth, encircling the blood-red whirlwind of Wind Fiend!

BUZZ! The nine Suan Nis stood proud in the positions of the nine palaces, their bodies of endless thunder melting away to form an eight-trigram shaped array of thunder serpents, trapping Wind Fiend fiercely!

The array thrummed with electric serpents, and the colossal face of Yun Xiao emerged, biting into the blood-red tempest.

"Just a child. I dare you to fight me one-on-one without your array!" Wind Fiend screamed shrilly, her blood-red essence spreading throughout the array.

The more she resisted, the clearer it became that she was not willing to accept defeat… Only then did killing her feel satisfying!

"Haha..." Yun Xiao laughed.

Just moments ago, Wind Fiend had placed herself so high, yet now, in the face of fear, wasn't she just like a ranting shrew?

BOOM! Yun Xiao and his spirit double, each with a sword, dominated above the array!

Both he and the spirit, one to the left and one to the right, raised their swords towards the sky, their lightning-charged eyes sweeping across the Thunder Department.

"I ask you all, what duty does the Thunder Department hold in maintaining celestial order?"

Upon these words, 1,000,000 Arbiters erupted in fiery anger, shouting in unison, "Heavenly thunder enforces the law, protects the Dao, and eradicates evil!"

"I ask you all, for those who offend our Thunder Department and destroy our foundation, what shall be their sentence?" Yun Xiao asked again.

"Heavenly thunder crushes them, body and spirit obliterated!"

In the midst of this widespread rage, Yun Xiao stood like a deity of judgment, looking down upon Wind Fiend.

"Myriad thunder proclaims your death sentence! On behalf of the Thunder Department, receive this divine sword of judgement that descends from the heavens!"

As his words thundered, his body surged with electric light!

Ascending the Heavens, Awakening of Insects!

Yun Xiao's mission with the Thunder Department began with this sword, and now, it was transcended by it!

This was the swordsmanship of the Cao Immortal Manor. But who would still remember General Cao?

A million Arbiters of the Thunder Department saw only two swords of the youth and his spirit double descending from the heavens!

The youth's sword and spirit, like the thunder of spring bursting upon the earth, brought a torrential downpour of lightning. It was the loudest roar, a herald of spring warmth, blooming flowers, and the rebirth of all things!

Ascending the Heavens, Awakening of Insects!

All things came to life. The spring welcomed a new world!

The sword was swift yet slow, carrying a youth's earnest heart and people's simple pursuit of fairness as it plunged from the sky!

This sword silenced Wind Fiend. As if it had descended from the celestial palace to the mortal world, it shattered the hierarchy of the celestial ladder, allowing those at the bottom to breathe with dignity...

No one would forget this thunderous spring that shook heaven and earth!

In the eyes of countless Arbiters, there was that bolt of lightning falling from the sky. Most of them still did not understand what Yun Xiao intended with this sword, but it seemed they felt something...

That young man, there was a spirit within him.

No one could alter it, no one could suppress it.

From Ye Guying onwards, everything Yun Xiao did was to ensure ordinary people, mortals, could live in this world with more dignity.

Not as ants, livestock, mere flickers of life, or insects in the eyes of others.

"I..." Gu Suwan knew this sword all too well. Both Yun Xiao and Cao Sheng wielded this sword, yet it felt entirely different.

It was completely opposite! She knew better than anyone what Yun Xiao was trying to convey. At that moment, she truly understood the young man…
