1434 Confronting the Supreme General

"I have been waiting for this day for over a thousand years…!"

Tian Xian could only control his anger for a few seconds after encountering Mo Ru, barely enough time to utter these words.

After Xiu Mei's death, Tian Xian spent two hundred years venting his anger on the Celestial Army and the Celestial Emperor's allies.

Once his anger was slightly relieved–enough for him to think clearly, he spent another one hundred years trying to find the culprit who killed Xiu Mei. Unfortunately, he had slaughtered all of the soldiers Mo Ru had sent to distract him, so there was nobody left alive besides the Celestial Emperor who could identify Mo Ru as the killer.

Yet, the Shadow Army, whose power and influence had been growing over the course of three centuries, somehow unearthed the truth–that the Supreme General, Mo Ru, bore responsibility for the death of Xiu Mei.

When Dong Ye learned of this information, he immediately sought out Tian Xian to relay this information. Of course, since Tian Xian was always on the move and sometimes hiding in seclusion, it took some time even for the Shadow Army to find him. In fact, if the Shadow Army had been even slightly less competent, they would've suffered the same fate as Mo Ru and the Celestial Army.

One could even say that without Dong Ye, who had spent hundreds of years by Tian Xia's side as his right-hand man, they would've never found Tian Xian.

When Dong Ye found Tian Xian and revealed the information about Xiu Mei's killer to him, Tian Xian's somewhat subdued anger spewed out like a volcano during an eruption after decades of slumber.

However, Tian Xian was still too weak at that time to defeat Mo Ru, so he focused on training and improving his cultivation. He slaughtered the Celestial Emperor's allies as training and plundered their wealth, using it to further increase his own prowess.

This went on for hundreds of years until Tian Xian was confident that he could defeat–toy with Mo Ru.

The first thing Tian Xian did was seek out Dong Ye for the Shadow Army's assistance, helping him find Mo Ru.

"You took the words right out of my mouth, Evil God! Do you have any idea how much I have suffered because of you?! I was made a fool in front of those around me, and even the Celestial Emperor tossed me aside! How dare you make me suffer such humiliation?!" Mo Ru shouted like a crazy old man as he pointed at Tian Xian with two fingers.

"Suffer…? You call that bullshit suffering…?" Tian Xian muttered in a cold voice, his gaze sharp enough to pierce even steel.

He pointed his sword at Mo Gu and continued, "For killing my wife, I shall teach you the true meaning of suffering."

"Hahaha! You mean that pregnant bitch?! You should've heard the way she screamed when I sliced open her stomach and showed her the baby! I have never heard anything as thrilling!" Mo Ru laughed like a madman.

Hearing such words, Tian Xian released a beastly roar that sounded like a dragon. His body began emitting a golden glow until it engulfed his entire body like flames.

Mo Ru immediately stopped laughing, even choking on his own saliva after seeing the tremendous change in the atmosphere.

Tian Xian waved his black and red sword viciously, instantly splitting the heaven and earth before him in half.

Seeing this, not even Mo Ru, who was at 3rd level God Ascension, dared to confront such a powerful attack head-on, so he quickly dodged it.

'Where the fuck is this bastard pulling out so much power from?!' Mo Ru cried inwardly when he sensed the violent and overwhelming spiritual energy contained within Tian Xian's normal sword swing without any techniques.

Tian Xian was only at the 2nd level God Ascension, yet he displayed prowess that surpassed even the strongest cultivator in the world who was at 5th level God Ascension– the Celestial Emperor himself!

Moreover, the golden aura that covered Tian Xian's body made every single cell within Mo Ru scream in terror, almost as though they instinctively knew how dangerous it was.

After unleashing his first strike, Tian Xian immediately swung his sword again before even confirming that his first one had struck or missed Mo Ru, as if he already knew.

Mo Ru hastily dodged the incoming attacks and started retaliating, throwing powerful martial techniques that could easily erase tens of thousands of miles of Divine Heaven if it landed.

However, Tian Xian used his black sword to effortlessly cut down any technique that was thrown in his direction.

'W-what?! How is he cutting my Immortal Qi like it's ordinary spiritual energy?!' Mo Ru felt his world turning upside-down after witnessing something incomprehensible.

"I refuse to believe you'll also cut down my Celestial Qi!" Mo Ru shouted before exuding a divine and godly presence.

When the animals, spiritual beasts, and even insects within a hundred-thousand-mile radius sensed Mo Ru's Celestial Qi, they all instinctively lowered their bodies and bowed toward his direction.

After attaining immortality, cultivators gain mastery over Immortal Qi, a force that can overpower any non-immortal. However, upon reaching the God Ascension realm, they ascend to a level where they can sense and wield Celestial Qi, a power that eclipses even Immortal Qi.

"Hmph!"

Tian Xian released a disdainful snort as he countered Mo Ru's Celestial Qi with his own. The clash between their energies resulted in a colossal crater spanning 20,000 miles around them. Naturally, everything within the crater had been completely erased from existence.

The potency of Celestial Qi was such that even a True Immortal would perish if struck by it. However, due to the immense energy required to wield Celestial Qi, it could only be utilized sparingly. After just using Celestial Qi once, Mo Ru was already soaked in sweat and panting heavily, something that typically never happens to those who reached the God Ascension realm.

Yet, Tian Xian remained unfazed, his breathing calm and steady.

Mo Ru's countenance darkened as he realized the vast disparity between their prowess, prompting him to contemplate possible avenues of escape from his dire predicament.

Tian Xian, who had been on the battlefield for most of his life acquired the ability to tell when his enemy had given up and wanted to escape at a glance, so he could read Mo Ru like an open book at this moment.

"Hahahaha…!"

Tian Xian suddenly started laughing in an eerie manner, his voice sending chills down Mo Ru's entire being.

"We've barely just fought and you're already thinking about escaping? I understand why the Celestial Emperor sent someone like you to assassinate a helpless mother now! Turns out you're one cowardly son of a bitch!"

Mo Ru's face flushed red with anger after hearing Tian Xian's insult, yet he didn't utter anything back, merely staring daggers at him.

Tian Xian suddenly stopped laughing and continued with a truly grim expression on his face, "Let's see if you'll still dare to leave after seeing this!"

"Dong Ye!" he shouted.

Dong Ye appeared next to Tian Xian the very next moment, but he was not alone, as he had a woman within his grasp, her presence clearly against her will.

When Mo Ru saw the face of this woman being held captive by Dong Ye, his face twisted in shock and anger, almost as if he had eaten a group of live flies by accident.
