Chapter 2303 The Demise of the Ancient Clan Shakes the Heavens

Behind Mu Cangyan was a terrifying and eerie crack.

Upon seeing Mu Cangyan reveal his true form, Zhixi, though unaware of his intentions, knew exactly what she should do.

Zhi Xi's expression was indifferent, her eyes narrowed, and she grasped the jade flute with ice and frost patterns engraved on its surface with her right hand. In a flash, she appeared in front of Mu Cangyan.

Then, Zhixi mobilized all her imperial power and gathered it on the jade flute, using it as a handy sword to thrust forward.

Whoosh! Boom!

Zhi Xi's all-out attack did not produce the expected result. The jade flute released an extremely terrifying and ferocious power, like the eruption of billions of volcanoes.

However, such ferocity did not fall on Mu Cangyan at all. Instead, it was blocked by an invisible barrier in front of him, causing the space to explode and violently ripple.

Seeing this, Zhixi frowned, and an invisible, chilling aura condensed around her.

Whoosh—thump!

In the star field above the Imperial State, a certain part of the starry sky collapsed.

All the stars within this area exploded into dust.

Countless lives were lost.

Whether it was a powerful being from the Divine Bridge or a tiny insect that had just hatched, all died due to the collapse of the starry sky, utterly powerless to resist.

The only saving grace is that billions of lives were not in any pain, and their lives were lost in an instant.

A huge, eerie crack appeared in this collapsed space.

Thick, terrifying divine lightning flashed at the edge of the crack, along with bizarre and fantastical afterimages.

"What it is?"

"The Mo... Mo Yang Ancient Clan is gone."

"how could it be possible!"

"Dead, all dead."

"Our ancestral land has been erased. No...it's impossible, impossible..."

Such a commotion terrified countless cultivators in the vicinity.

The most terrifying thing was that the Moyang Ancient Clan, which had been passed down for at least a million years, was annihilated by the explosion of the starry sky, leaving them with no power to resist and no awareness of the impending crisis.

Although the Moyang ancient clan lost its clan-protecting artifact as early as the ancient times, it still possesses a very deep historical foundation and its methods are far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.

The Moyang Ancient Clan, a colossal force to the world, was utterly powerless in the face of a truly earth-shattering storm. They were wiped out in an instant and became history.

Those members of the Moyang Ancient Clan who were not in the main city of their clan watched this scene from afar, completely unable to accept it. Some were terrified, while others let out heart-wrenching howls.

No one expected the annihilation of the Moyang ancient clan.

The other ancient tribes that had settled nearby were terrified upon hearing the news. An indescribable chill swept over them, and their inner linings were instantly soaked with cold sweat.

All the ethnic groups felt both shock and fear, as well as a sense of relief.

Fortunately, the spatial collapse did not occur on their own territory; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Even with ancestral artifacts guarding it, it would probably not be able to withstand the terrifying power of such a spatial explosion."

The rulers of the various ancient clans could no longer sit still and rushed to this place.

Witnessing the ancestral land of the Moyang Ancient Clan turn into a spatially chaotic ruin, the leaders of various clans recognized reality, no longer harboring any illusions, and stood there dumbfounded, their faces ashen.

"What exactly is going on?"

Countless powerful individuals gathered near the shattered starry sky, their voices trembling as they cried out, pleading for someone to answer this question.

In the past, the rulers of the ancient clans always had a certain arrogance, thinking that even if they faced the turmoil of their most prosperous era, they could weather it.

However, reality was too cruel, ruthlessly shattering the ancient people's illusions and making them truly realize how terrifying the surging tide of an extremely prosperous era could be.

The upheaval that occurred in the Upper Star Region will inevitably affect the overall situation of the entire Divine Continent.

The order and rules of China are beginning to undergo subtle changes.

Meanwhile, deep on the other side.

Zhi Xi and Mu Cangyan gazed at each other from afar, the atmosphere heavy.

"You can't do anything to me, so why waste your time?"

The time had come. Mu Cangyan was no longer gloomy and depressed as before. His face was expressionless and his tone was flat.

"My pleasure."

Zhixi's answer was quite straightforward.

To put it bluntly, Mu Cangyan didn't want her to leave the other side easily, so she definitely wouldn't let Mu Cangyan have an easy time.

"You're worried that I'll interfere with Su Yunshu's recovery, so you've been bothering me all these years, keeping me busy."

As she spoke, a chilling light flashed in Mu Cangyan's eyes.

"It's mainly because I don't like you."

Zhixi does not deny that this is indeed a consideration.

"Times have changed, your era is long gone."

Mu Cangyan acknowledges that he was not as good as Zhixi in the past, and only by facing his past shortcomings can he embrace the future.

Zhi Xi remained silent, which should be interpreted as tacit agreement.

"I'm inviting you one last time. Would you be willing to join me in pursuing the path to immortality?"

Mu Cangyan shouted loudly.

In the depths of Mu Cangyan's heart, Zhixi was once a lingering nightmare.

Over time, it became an obsession.

If I could make Zhixi lower her proud head, the sense of accomplishment would be no less than the moment I attained enlightenment back then.

Previously, the path to immortality was elusive and uncertain, and there was no hope of finding a solution. It was perfectly normal for Zhixi not to want to go with him.

The current situation is clearly different; the path to immortality is within reach, how can one not be tempted?

However, Zhi Xi was stubborn and would not back down just because Mu Cangyan's plan was about to succeed. Her answer remained unchanged and without hesitation: "No interest."

Having already anticipated the outcome, Mu Cangyan remained expressionless and asked no further questions.

The path to immortality is within reach, so since Zhixi is oblivious, there's no need to waste any more words.

"If there is a next time, I will personally suppress you."

After speaking, Mu Cangyan turned around and stepped into the terrifying Black Abyss Rift.

"Let's see if you have this ability."

Zhi Xi stared at Mu Cangyan's retreating figure and said indifferently.

The next moment, Mu Cangyan's figure disappeared.

Zhi Xi knew that this was Mu Cangyan's trump card, which blocked her way and made it difficult to break through the barrier in front of her in a short time. There was no need to waste her energy chasing after her.

After hundreds of years of turmoil, Mu Cangyan was left with a few wounds, which was not bad. As for her own injuries, Zhi Xi didn't care at all.

Zhi Xi had little interest in the so-called supreme path. She had already fulfilled her greatest wish in this life, found the traces of her benefactor, and learned his true identity.

If circumstances allowed, Zhixi was willing to perish together with Mu Cangyan. Unfortunately, Mu Cangyan did not give her that opportunity.

The Imperial State overlooks the star system.

Although Mu Cangyan stepped into the crevice, he did not reveal himself to the world. His specific actions remain unclear.

This matter is of great importance and has far-reaching implications.

All the heroes of the myriad races sensed this and rushed to the scene.

A few days ago, An Xiruo deduced that the order of Shenzhou would change, most likely related to the other shore. Therefore, she and Chen Qingyuan immediately headed towards the Imperial State.
