On the ridge.
A group of simply dressed children are laughing and playing as they run through the mountains.
Their laughter, like the sound of silver bells, echoes through the tranquil villa.
"Come on! Come catch me!"
A little boy with a fierce and adorable demeanor is running and laughing, suddenly crashing into someone without noticing.
The boy winces in pain, rubbing his head and looking up.
There stands a young man in a white coat, as pure as snow, with black hair like a waterfall, and eyes as bright as the Star Sea.
The little boy can’t help but stare in awe.
"Brother... I... I’m sorry..."
The little boy moves his feet slightly backward, speaking hesitantly.
His mother had told him not to trouble people whose clothes are exceptionally clean.
In his mother’s words, those with particularly clean clothes are big figures whom their kind can’t afford to provoke.
"I was blocking your way, why are you saying sorry to me?"
Chen Zhixing smiled, then handed the little boy a box containing a delicately-shaped, barely eaten mung bean cake.
"What’s your name?"
"I... I’m called Tiezhu."
The little boy swallowed hard, making an effort to shift his gaze away from the mung bean cake.
"Tiezhu... good name, I bet you’ll achieve great things in the future."
Chen Zhixing thought of something and couldn’t help but smile.
"Grow up well."
He bent down and gently ruffled the boy’s hair, wearing a warm smile, then straightened up and looked towards an old man and a young girl in the wooden shed afar.
He walked towards them step by step, with the smile on his face gradually fading, turning into a cold expression.
The old farmer and the yellow-faced girl stared at Chen Zhixing tightly, their fists clenching incessantly.
"You..."
The yellow-faced girl was about to step forward.
The old, skeletal hand already gripped her shoulder tightly, rendering her immobile.
"Tsk, living here in this picturesque land, plucking chrysanthemums under the eastern hedge, leisurely seeing the southern mountain, is really pleasant, quite enviable indeed."
Chen Zhixing casually picked a green apple from the apple tree next to him, took a bite with ease, and said.
His narrow eyes slightly curved, full of mischief.
"You eventually came."
The old farmer sighed deeply, his expression turning somewhat complex and bittersweet.
"Third Young Master, regardless of the rights and wrongs of past grudges, you’ve already wiped out my entire Medicine King Valley, you should be satisfied, shouldn’t you?"
Chen Zhixing bit into the apple flesh and shook his head:
"Aren’t there two fish that escaped the net here? When I say extermination, I mean total extermination; the younger generation always keeps their promises."
"Keeping promises? How can you, surnamed Chen, say this so shamelessly!"
The yellow-faced girl bit her teeth audibly, her chest heaving in anger, her eyes showing utmost resentment.
If Chen Zhixing had kept his promise, Meng Hedong wouldn’t have died!
"Shut up."
The old farmer glanced at the yellow-faced girl, then looked at the calm-faced Chen Zhixing, took a deep breath and said:
"Third Young Master, forgive others when possible, bygone grudges, I’ve already forgotten them all, dust to dust, ashes to ashes."
"The old me now is just a decrepit old man without the strength to truss a chicken, why force the extermination?"
The once Nirvana Ancestor Xunn Puzi of the Medicine King Valley, who shook the East Profound Domain and had face everywhere, spoke slowly:
"I’ve grown old now, and only wish to enjoy my old age here..."
Before he finished.
"Since you’re old, you should rest in peace then!"
Chen Zhixing’s voice suddenly turned cold, the apple in his hand shattered abruptly, turning into powder.
Simultaneously.
A world-overturning force instantly spread out from Chen Zhixing as the center!
The space where Chen Zhixing and Xunn Puzi were located was instantly separated from this world!
"You... you’ve reached Nirvana?"
In a flash, a sharp light flickered in Xunn Puzi’s eyes, his face showing an incredulous expression.
If he remembered correctly, this Third Young Master had only been cultivating for sixteen years!
Nirvana!
Sixteen-year-old Nirvana!
This is simply unprecedented, unparalleled in all time!!
"Xian’er, run quickly!!"
Xunn Puzi’s face changed dramatically, instantly realizing something, he stretched out his large hand heavily slapping Little Poison Immortal on the shoulder.
In an instant.
A force of Nirvana Power enveloped Little Poison Immortal, retreating rapidly into the distance, traversing the void.
The next moment.
Xunn Puzi, without hesitation, decisively charged directly at Chen Zhixing.
He seemed to have already foreseen something, in his muddy, ancient eyes, death surged.
The Nirvana Tao Wheel within him began to burn fiercely.
"Third Young Master, you want me to rest in peace, then I’ll take you with me to die together!!"
Xunn Puzi laughed heartily, suddenly colliding with Chen Zhixing.
Puff!
A long, white, jade-like hand, grasped firmly into Xunn Puzi’s chest as he rushed forward.
Blood and flesh burst open, blood splattered.
"Trying to self-destruct to perish with me?"
"Truly a foolish courage that amazes the younger generation."
Chen Zhixing’s narrow eyes slightly curved like a beautiful crescent moon.
The corners of his mouth showed a faint mocking smile.
"Seal!"
Only a single word was uttered.
In an instant, a world-overturning power rapidly spread within Xunn Puzi.
The Nirvana Tao Wheel, which was burning fiercely, was instantly extinguished as if doused with cold water.
The cultivation that was incessantly tumultuous and expanding also came to an abrupt halt.
"The younger generation, Chen Zhixing, bids farewell to the elder."
Chen Zhixing spoke lightly.
Boom —!!!
He stretched out his hand, striking down at Xunn Puzi’s head.
With a muffled sound, Xunn Puzi’s entire head was slapped into the chest!
Great Tao Foundation!
Sea of Consciousness Spiritual Soul!
Dantian Spiritual Sea!
Great Tao Seed!
Nirvana Tao Wheel!
Everything of Xunn Puzi was completely destroyed and collapsed at this moment!
Boom —!!
The horizon suddenly appeared a stunning vision of a sun falling.
Chen Zhixing stood in the void, retracted his hand, and lightly shook off the bloodstains on his hand.
Once he, facing Nirvana Realm experts, barely survived, expending all his efforts perhaps could grasp a sliver of opportunity.
But now.
With his cultivation reaching the Nirvana Realm, killing Nirvana Realm experts has become as effortless as breaking a dry twig.
"Indeed, being unbeatable at the same realm has little significance, only high cultivation level is the true path."
Chen Zhixing shook his head with some emotion.
Next moment.
He raised his head, looking at Little Poison Immortal traversing the void and vanishing.
For some reason, Chen Chou’er once chose to spare Little Poison Immortal.
But in his code of conduct.
Either do nothing, or do it completely!
"Myriad Phenomena Celestial Attraction."
Chen Zhixing looked towards the horizon where Little Poison Immortal was just a small black dot, and spoke lightly.
With the words uttered.
Boom —!!!
An incomparably vast and terrifying gravitational force, sufficient to attract stars, instantly erupted from Chen Zhixing’s palm!
In a flash.
Little Poison Immortal, already over a hundred miles away, halted her forward momentum, then accelerated backwards with even greater speed!
Thud!
Little Poison Immortal’s head fell into Chen Zhixing’s jade-like hand.
