Chapter 2400: Bizarre Fate

The North Region Army cultivators, focused on capturing Mumu and Hongyue, were caught off guard by the sudden appearance of Yun Lintian and Nantian Fengyu.

“Who dares interfere?” one of the cultivators roared, brandishing his weapon.

Yun Lintian didn’t bother responding. He raised his hand, and a wave of crimson flames surged forth, enveloping the cultivators in blinding crimson light.

Their screams echoed through the desolate landscape as their bodies dissolved, their very existence erased. In a single, effortless gesture, Yun Lintian had eliminated the entire group. Rui Xian, momentarily stunned by the sudden turn of events, watched in awe as Yun Lintian effortlessly dispatched their pursuers. He had sensed the immense power emanating from Yun Lintian but hadn’t expected such a devastating display of strength.

Mumu, her eyes wide with surprise and relief, stumbled to a halt, her gaze fixed on Yun Lintian.

“Lintian!” she cried, her voice filled with a mixture of joy and exhaustion.

Yun Lintian rushed to her side, his eyes filled with concern as he took in her battered form and the unconscious Hongyue in her arms.

“Mumu, what happened?” he asked, his voice laced with worry.

Her voice trembling with emotion, Mumu recounted their harrowing escape from Wandering Bone City, the encounter with the decayed beasts, and the timely intervention of Rui Xian.

Yun Lintian listened intently, his heart aching for their ordeal. He gently took Hongyue from Mumu’s tired arms, his gaze falling upon her pale face and crystallized arm.

“She pushed herself too far,” he said, his voice grave. “The chaotic energy has taken root deep within her.”

He turned to Rui Xian, his eyes filled with gratitude. “Thank you for helping them,” he said sincerely.

Rui Xian nodded, his gaze lingering on Hongyue’s unconscious form. “She is a descendant of the Divine Moon Clan, is she not?” he asked, recognizing the faint lunar aura emanating from her.

He then looked at Mumu and continued, “And you must be the Lunar Jade Rabbit.”

Yun Lintian nodded in confirmation.

“Who is the Nameless Sword God to you? Your technique has the essence of his sword intent,” Mumu asked Rui Xian.

“I am a descendant of the Nameless Sword God’s first disciple, Rui Shen. Unfortunately, what I’ve learned is just a glimpse of the actual Nameless Sword Art,” Rui Xian replied truthfully. “The Nameless Sword God is a hero. He sacrificed himself to protect our Divine Moon Clan’s ancestral land,” Mumu said gratefully. “Thank you again for saving us.”

“This is my duty,” Rui Xian said gently. “My ancestor always told us that he owed a debt of gratitude to the Divine Moon Clan and had sworn to protect them. We, his descendants, have adhered to his teachings. We just never met any Divine Moon Clansmen before.”

Mumu nodded slowly. She had heard a rumor about the Nameless Sword God. It was said that he was saved by the Divine Moon Clan’s first ancestor, and his Nameless Sword Art was inspired by the First Ancestor’s teachings. It seemed his disciples had kept it to their hearts. Yun Lintian was surprised by the strange connection between them. Rui Xian, a descendant of the Nameless Sword God’s first disciple, had saved Mumu and Hongyue, who were related to the Divine Moon Clan. It was quite a coincidence.

He grabbed Hongyue’s wrist and gently injected the Tree of Life’s power into her body. Her wounds gradually healed, but the crystal on her arm remained.

A moment later, Yun Lintian retracted his hand and picked up Hongyue. “Let’s find a place to stay first,” he said.

“Follow me,” Rui Xian said and led everyone to a nearby city.

Inside an inn, Yun Lintian placed Hongyue on the bed and covered her with a blanket. He looked at her and sighed softly. “What were you doing that drove you to such desperation?”

He let Hongyue rest and returned to the living room. Although Yun Lintian was curious about Hongyue’s purpose in coming here, he didn’t ask Mumu right away in front of Rui Xian.

He sat down and poured himself a cup of tea. “What are you doing here, Brother Rui?” he asked.

“I’m here to find my master’s legacy. He fell on this battlefield,” Rui Xian replied gently. “Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a trace of it.”

“I see,” Yun Lintian nodded. “Have you ever entered the Central Region?”

“Yes,” Rui Xian replied. “The Central Region is incredibly huge and filled with traps from the God Marks left behind by the fallen gods. I have been there twice, but I couldn’t go deeper.”

He paused for a moment and added, “I feel that this place has changed a lot. The environment here has become harsher compared to my last visit. The decayed beasts have also become much stronger. There must be something happening in the Central Region.”

“Have you encountered any True Gods over there?” Yun Lintian asked.

“There are a few. Most of them are renowned True Gods. They come here to consolidate their power. After all, the environment outside has been weakening over the years. It’s difficult for a top-tier True God to maintain their power,” Rui Xian said.

“Oh? Can you elaborate more on that?” Yun Lintian was interested.

“This must be your first time visiting the Central Region of the Great Expanse,” Rui Xian said gently.

“Indeed,” Yun Lintian nodded.

“An ordinary True God born after the Primordial War can be considered a low-tier True God. The general environment of the current Primal Chaos is incomparable to the Primordial Era. The threshold for becoming a True God has been lowered significantly. These True Gods have no problem staying in this environment. They don’t need much energy to maintain their power,” Rui Xian explained.

“However, a top-tier True God who survived the Primordial Era is different. They come from the Primordial Era, where the environment was far superior to the current one. They need a lot of energy to maintain their power, which wasn’t a problem in the Primordial Era. The Ancient Battlefield is the only place that still possesses enough energy from the Primordial Era.”

Rui Xian paused and continued, “Although it’s worse than the actual Primordial Era, it is much better than the outside world.”

Among everyone here, Mumu was the only one who had experienced the Primordial Era. She nodded in agreement. “Indeed. Even though the chaotic energy here is harmful, it is much better than any other place, especially for a True God.”
