Must they come for me?!?

And to go to such lengths, staging such a fight!

Vermilion Bird knew very well that although it had lost this fight, Zhao Tongtian also didn't have an easy time. Its body was an absolutely resistant and durable Vajra Body, and even with the enhancement from the Golden Turtle Peak Sword Qi Formation, emitting such a stream of Sword Qi would still consume a large amount of Primordial Energy.

"That young man just now has comprehended the 'Annihilation Dao Realm'."

The first words from Zhao Tongtian caught the Vermilion Bird Demon by surprise.

"!!"

Annihilation Dao Realm?

The Vermilion Bird Demon stared intently at the old fellow before it.

To it,

those four characters had not been heard for a very long, long time...

Actually, it wasn't strange for the Vermilion Bird.

Being sealed in the back mountain of Golden Turtle Peak, completely isolated from the world, even the huge commotion caused by Xie Xuanyi in his previous life wouldn't reach its ears.

To the Vermilion Bird, the Annihilation Dao Realm held an extraordinarily unusual significance.

In its lifetime of cultivation up until now,

it had only seen two people who had cultivated the "Annihilation Dao Realm."

One was Lian Venerate.

The other was Luo Lie, the Sect Master of the One Strike Sect from the Da Li Country.

However, the great Tao River was vast and boundless, and even if the fruits named "Annihilation Dao Realm" were plucked, there were differences between them.

Lian Venerate's "Annihilation Dao Realm" specialized in attacking the Divine Soul.

Luo Lie's "Annihilation Dao Realm" focused more on eradicating the physical body.

"Indeed, the Annihilation Dao Realm is very difficult to comprehend."

The Vermilion Bird Demon struggled to prop itself up; its body was indeed tough. In just a short span of ten or so breaths, it had recovered some vigor and was able to speak.

At this moment, Ci Jing's voice sounded hoarse as he said gravely, "However, the 'Annihilation Dao Realm' that Lian Venerate comprehended was capable of striking directly at the soul. That young man just now doesn't have the same presence as Lian Venerate back in the day. He couldn't have, like that Luo fellow... comprehended an inferior version of the 'Annihilation Dao Realm,' could he?"

"Heroes of the world are as abundant as fish crossing the river."

Zhao Tongtian spoke calmly, "I know, in your heart, Lian Venerate's Sword Dao talent is unparalleled. In principle, she should have been the next Sect Leader of Da Sui Sword Palace. The 'Sword Dao' she comprehended is indeed a supreme path in this world."

"Anyway, stronger than you."

Having recovered a bit, the Vermilion Bird Demon Ci Jing reverted to its insolent attitude.

It coldly said, "If Lian Venerate were still alive, you would definitely not be her match."

"..."

Zhao Tongtian went silent for a moment; he could not refute this statement.

Indeed, the Sword Dao talent shown by Lian Venerate back then was extremely dazzling, extremely dazzling indeed.

Even his elder martial brother was moved by it.

If she were still alive, what realm would she have cultivated to by now?

"Yes."

Zhao Tongtian looked down and murmured, "I would rather have been the one to die on the Northern Border Battlefield."

"Heh."

Vermilion Bird Demon Ci Jing mockingly waved his hand, "What's the point of saying these? I know how hypocritical humans are... You don't have to express regret for the past events; after all, you are not planning to seek vengeance."

"The 'Annihilation Dao Realm' that Lian Venerate comprehended wasn't the most perfect aspect."

Zhao Tongtian took a light breath and said.

The Vermilion Bird Demon paused for a moment, then frowned.

This statement sounded somewhat ironic to it.

It followed Lian Venerate all over the north and south of Jiangnan, and that was also a glorious splendid era. After Lian Venerate had cultivated the "Rule of Destruction" in the Cave Heaven Realm, she could already be called unrivaled in the same realm... No one knew better than the Vermilion Bird Demon how powerful and terrifying the "Path of Destruction" was.

Unlike Luo Lie, Lian Venerate's Sword Intent could strike directly into the Divine Sea.

A sword delivered, at the lighter end would shatter the Heart Lake, and at the heavier end would extinguish the Divine Soul in smoke.

"The Annihilation Dao Realm possesses an even higher level."

Zhao Tongtian spoke calmly, "Flesh, Soul, Destiny."

"Destiny?"

Ci Jing was somewhat perplexed.

"Birth, Extinction, these two great paths are the most powerful and also the most difficult to comprehend in the world."

Zhao Tongtian said solemnly, "The Annihilation Dao Realm has three levels, and comprehending even one level is enough to become a 'Ten Hero'-class tyrant like Luo Lie. Lian Venerate was indeed stronger than me; she comprehended the second level. However, that is not the ultimate goal."

"You can't mean to say, the young man just now, has comprehended the third level?"

Ci Jing's expression became subtle.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered many strange details he had overlooked before.

This young man with the last name Xie seemed unremarkable, but he actually won Zhao Chunyang's deep affection and was personally bestowed with a "Lotus Sword Energy"!

Besides that.

Within less than a year since their last meeting, this little guy has successfully ascended from the Cave Heaven Realm to the Yin God!

"The third level 'Destiny' is very difficult to comprehend."

Zhao Tongtian said slowly, "It's almost impossible to comprehend it if one only lives a single lifetime."

Ci Jing was stunned once more.

What did this statement mean? The young man he had just met, was he a reincarnator?

Ci Jing actually didn't care about Xie Xuanyi's identity.

Nor did it matter to him whether Xie Xuanyi was a reincarnator or not.

However, Zhao Tongtian's words stirred a rather absurd thought in the depths of his Heart Lake.

He sat in the crater, slowly lifting his head bit by bit.

The wind blew.

Dead leaves tumbled in the air.

Bamboo leaves laden with Sword Intent fell into the crater and were incinerated to ash.

Clothed in robes that fluttered with the wind, Zhao Tongtian spoke softly, sounding nothing like the cold and detached Law Enforcement of Golden Turtle Peak Sword Palace, "All that I have just mentioned were the words she herself told me many years ago."

"She told you this... Lian Venerate?"

Ci Jing's heartbeat suddenly quickened.

He felt an inexplicable constriction in his chest, his voice turning hoarse, "Are you suggesting that Lian Venerate's 'fall' on the Northern Border Battlefield was not an accident... "

"No."

Zhao Tongtian shook his head and said softly, "I don't know whether the ambush that happened in the Northern Territory was an accident or not. But I do know that before that battle, she had already started preparing to assault the third layer of the 'Annihilation Dao Realm,' Destiny."
