Immortal of the Ages

Chapter 914: Castration as an Art!

Yun Lingchen was the cherished treasure of every powerful figure in the Elysian Immortal Palace. She was the white moonlight in Zhao Canglan's heart and in the hearts of countless young men—a symbol of purity, reverence, and flawlessness. She wasn't someone of the same status as the two Young Dragon Consorts. And this castrated dog dared to have designs on her?

"Kill!" Zhao Canglan let out a low roar, his eyes turning bloodshot. Though he was usually calm and mild-mannered, his throat burned with fury.

Above his head, the Dragonsong Guqin played an urgent melody once more. In his left hand, the Sky Sea Silk shimmered like a starry sky beneath the sea; in his right, the enormous Stellar Ocean Hammer activated simultaneously. The silk danced wildly in the sky, while the hammer struck with immense force.

Behind him, Yun Lingchen matched his movements perfectly. Zhao Canglan was an Immortal who cultivated both the Martial and Anima; his ability to hold the front lines rivaled that of the Dragon Devil Clan.

Yun Lingchen, inheritor of the Twin Corona bloodline and reputed to possess the most destructive lineage in the Heavenly Deity Stellar River, naturally had astonishing killing power.

In a flash, a white Life Sigil emerged from the brow of the girl. The sigil bore countless human figures, as if containing an entire world filled with innumerable beings—a holy and pure world where everyone seemed to live among the clouds.

This was the famous World-Purifying Cloud Sigil of the Elysian Immortal Palace, a symbol of light and salvation. It had two sides; it could save people, but it could also kill.

Compared to the ferocious Prison Warden Sigil, this World-Purifying Cloud Sigil appeared truly radiant.

Not only that, Yun Lingchen let out a clear shout. The Twin Coronas above her head revealed their true power. The two Coronas that had resembled rabbit ears gradually transformed into two white furnaces. In one furnace, raging flames rolled; in the other, storms howled.

In the next instant, Yun Lingchen's spirit manifested above the Life Sigil, positioned between the Twin Coronas. Her spirit shone brilliantly, surrounded by auspicious clouds, clearly possessing the powerful soul power of an Anima Immortal.

Yun Lingchen cultivated both sigil and soul.

This type of cultivator, when casting celestial techniques, had the most powerful large-scale destructive capabilities, supplemented by soul-based attacks. As long as someone held the front lines, they were absolute weapons of mass destruction in war.

The stunning talent she displayed at this moment matched her status, causing an uproar among the Million Starlight Palace. Even the Alliance Army attacking the Extreme Yin Star couldn't help but turn back to watch.

At this moment, Yun Lingchen stood with the Twin Coronas on her left and right, her spirit above, and her Life Sigil below, forming a four-pole structure. Standing at the center, she wielded the power of the Fifth Baptism Realm, becoming the core of destruction!

Amid the surge of tribulation power, her petite figure—delicate compared to the two Young Dragon Consorts—danced in a swirling short skirt. Strands of hair floated freely, her jade-like skin radiant as snow, exuding an irresistible charm like a finely crafted gem.

"Senior Brother Zhao, hold him off! I'll finish him!" Yun Lingchen was confident. Even though Yun Xiao's villainous gaze unsettled her as he charged, her vast reserves of strength allowed her to dismiss it, unleashing all the destructive power she had learned.

"Understood!"

With such a graceful maiden behind him, Zhao Canglan was willing to risk everything for a mere nod from her. They moved in perfect harmony—he at the front, she at the back—a handsome man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven.

Even atop the Million Starlight Palace, cheers for this golden couple of the Elysian Immortal Palace echoed far and wide, stirring envy in countless hearts.

Who wouldn't dream of such a pairing, both noble and boundless in future prospects?

In the presence of this divine couple, Yun Xiao—the eunuch—truly seemed like a venomous villain, an incompetent clown, a toad leaping out of the gutter... That was most people's first impression.

To them, no matter how a eunuch looked, he embodied such an image—it couldn't change. The sinister and malicious label had long been ingrained in people's minds.

So while they shouted slogans about liberating the celestial slaves, deep down they despised, loathed, and ridiculed them.

But of course, Yun Xiao had no time to spare. He couldn't afford to admire the celestial glow of this golden couple.

Under their furious assault, they had no intention of wasting words with a mere toad. It was as if speaking another sentence would sully themselves.

"Iron Steeds Crossing Frozen Rivers!" Zhao Canglan, wielding the Dreamsong Guqin, launched a soul-assaulting melody at Yun Xiao, striking directly at his mind. ℟

Simultaneously, he brandished the Sky Sea Silk and Stellar Ocean Hammer—one to control, one to annihilate—charging fiercely.

This time, he had learned his lesson. No longer overconfident that the Dreamsong Guqin could entirely disrupt his opponent, he kept some strength in reserve while swinging the Stellar Ocean Hammer to maintain stability.

Behind him, Zhao Canglan could already sense Yun Lingchen earnestly preparing to unleash her newly mastered ultimate move.

She had intended to reveal this only when competing with other stellar river geniuses inside the Ancestor Immortal Grotto.

But now, she was using it!

"You're dead!" Zhao Canglan sneered coldly. His left hand manipulated the Sky Sea Silk like a vast ocean tornado, shimmering with dazzling starlight as it swept toward the figure in white. His right hand held the Stellar Ocean Hammer in reserve, ready to smash down at any moment.

The Iron Steeds Crossing Frozen Rivers melody was his forte. The tune manifested as a legion of spectral soldiers, roaring past like 10,000 swords slashing at the spirit.

BOOM! The Stellar Ocean Hammer he had swung out was sent flying!

At this moment, Zhao Canglan was already covered in blood. All his tribulation power collapsed; he had been utterly dominated.

The next moment brought his true scream of misery.

"NOOO!"

Amid a legendary, heartrending wail, Yun Xiao's azure sword, violet dragon, and golden lotus pierced straight through him!

Zhao Canglan was instantly split in two!

The upper half of his body remained intact.

The lower half, after being blown away, split into three parts—two large, one small.

The smallest part was further divided into two—a stick and two balls!

As these fragments scattered, Zhao Canglan's agonized cries seemed to celebrate Yun Xiao's sword strike!

And the sword wasn't finished yet!

After tearing through Zhao Canglan, it surged forward, pressing directly against Cloud Annihilation!

The so-called ultimate destructive force of Cloud Annihilation parted like ocean waves before the sword, splitting sharply to the left and right!

RIP! With a single slash, Yun Xiao cleaved Cloud Annihilation in two, scattering it!

VROOM! Charging forward in a frenzy, he sped through the shattered Cloud Annihilation, the Sky Sea Silk entwined around his sword, showcasing unparalleled divine might!

He carved a bloody path straight through, annihilating Cloud Annihilation on the spot!

As the celestial technique disintegrated before him, a lovely figure was suddenly exposed to his gaze!

The girl stood there, stunned. Her short dress and long hair danced in the storm of the azure sword and violet dragon. In her beautiful eyes was the reflection of the peerless elegance of the young man in white at this very moment!

The azure sword halted at Yun Lingchen's chest. A storm of azure and violet swirled around her, yet it did not harm her in the slightest.

"Uh..." Her delicate body trembled, her voice hoarse. She widened her round eyes, gazing at the godlike youth amid the raging winds, and asked in a trembling voice, "W-why... why don't you kill me..."

The youth in white tilted his head, then suddenly swung his sword horizontally.

Two bloody chunks fell onto the blade, staining it.

A slight smirk played on his lips as he asked Yun Lingchen, "Do you know what this is?"

Yun Lingchen shook her head blankly.

"Your happiness for the rest of your life," Yun Xiao said with a smile.

Hearing this, her pretty face looked as if it had been punched. In that moment, tears, shame, pain, and sorrow vividly unfolded.

Her beautiful eyes looked past Yun Xiao's sword and saw Zhao Canglan's upper body. Indeed, the cut was clean; only his three legs were severed, which wouldn't affect his future cultivation...

He was once the legendary figure of the Elysian Immortal Palace—the unparalleled senior brother who rose to stand before her, so radiant and heroic, seemingly omnipotent.

But now, he was in such pain, sorrow, helplessness, and confusion. No one even went to hold him, leaving him curled up, screaming in misery.

At that moment, Yun Lingchen couldn't hold back; tears burst from her eyes.

"Hey now," Yun Xiao tapped her pretty face with his sword and said, "Don't cry too soon. It's just a man. You can always find another whole one."
