Chapter 24: Extinguishing All Living Beings! First Watch

  The Red Dust Inn, top floor.

  Iron Lion and the young man in white sat at the table, watching Tang Lin's battle on the projection. When they saw the grayish light of the Way of Life and Death appearing on the blade of Tang Lin's sword, they suddenly widened their eyes.

  "Has he realized the way?" The young man in white exclaimed in surprise.

  Iron Lion exclaimed: "Moreover, it's the Life and Death Way! A thousand years ago, the Heavenly Fragrance Buddha compiled the Heaven and Earth Ten Thousand Ways. This Life and Death Way ranked in the top three hundred, is an extremely powerful 'Way'!"

  "Wait, it's not the Way of Life and Death!" The young man in white suddenly fixed his gaze on the sword in Tang Lin's hand, "His way... seems even stronger..."

  The iron lion gazed out silently.

  Then he saw Tang Lin magically take away the sword from the Water Green Clothes girl's hand and defeat her with one sword.

  "How is this possible!" The iron lion suddenly stood up, his eyes bursting with intense light, staring tightly at the projection on the wall, "What kind of magic is this? Shape-shifting and shadow-play?"

  The young man in white gazed for a long time before speaking softly, "It seems that this disciple of yours is truly exceptional! The way he understands the Tao, I can't even see through... A elegant pavilion wine house, top floor.

  A girl in a green dress sat silently by the window, gazing at the distant sky. The door was pushed open and a gentle middle-aged man walked in, saying softly: "I saw your game."

  The girl in the green dress said softly: "Father."

  "Although the ranking has changed, and you suddenly dropped to 1250th place, all you need to do is challenge the 11th ranked player, and you can return to 10th place." The middle-aged man looked at her gently.

  "It didn't even make it into the top ten. It's all meaningless." The aqua-clothed girl gazed into the distance and said, "Father, that person said he comprehended the Way of All Living Things, what is the Way of All Living Things?"

  "What is the Way of All Living Things?" The middle-aged man furrowed his brow and said, "I've never heard of it. According to legend, among the Great Ways compiled by the Heavenly Fragrance Buddha Ancestor, the first-ranked one is the Heavenly Mechanism Way. Unfortunately, no one has ever been able to comprehend this way. Only that unparalleled genius from countless years ago grasped this way and later broke through the void and ascended."

  "Tianji Dao......" The water-green-clothed girl's delicate eyebrows furrowed, saying: "This person's mortal path can actually give rise to my life-and-death path. I'm wondering if he can give rise to all the Great Paths... including... that Tianji Dao?"

  The middle-aged man was taken aback. He shook his head and said, "It's impossible. Even if one could give birth to the heavens, earth, and myriad paths, it would still be impossible to give birth to the Heavenly Dao."

  "The Way of Heaven's Machinery is to be able to sense the past and future, to perceive one's own life and death, and even more so, to perceive the workings of heaven and earth."

  The girl in green dress was taken aback for a moment, then fell silent.

  "Even if you don't make it into the top ten, I'll find a way to get you into the Immortal Realm for cultivation!" The middle-aged man comforted.

  "Entering the Immortal Realm. I don't care about that..." The water-green-clothed girl gazed into the distance and said, "If one can enter the top ten, they will have the qualification to ask 'Ding', if they can successfully ask 'Ding', they can enter the Fairy Platform of the Immortal Realm..."

  The middle-aged man remained silent.

  ……

  Tianhe Wine House

  The young master stared blankly at the projection, and Tang Lin's successful promotion to the top ten left him completely stunned.

  "He, he actually enlightened?" The young master couldn't believe it, he knew clearly that enlightenment was a very difficult thing.

  It was a long time before he came back to his senses. His face suddenly turned dark, and his fists clenched with a cracking sound. "This child must not be spared!"

  Outside the door, an old woman pushed the door and entered. Behind him, Qingya, like a fairy, floated in slowly with her eyebrows furrowed.

  "Piāo Lán little sister." The young master immediately put on a smiling face and went up to greet her.

  Lingyun walked into the room and after a moment said: "This person's battle, did you see it?"

  The young master nodded slightly, his expression solemn, and said: "Our Tianhe Sect has a great feud with this person. If we let him grow up unchecked, he will definitely be a great threat in the future, especially when he enters the Tianji realm and can divine his own life and death, making it even harder to kill him!"

  Lingyun nodded slightly and said, "I can see that his comprehension of the Tao is extremely terrifying, belonging to the superior great Tao. With my 'Cangxue Tao', I am unable to defeat him. If he stabilizes in the top ten, he will be able to enter the Xiaoxian realm for a decade of cultivation!"

  "He will still come out in ten years."

  The young master's eyes lit up and he said, "What do you mean, little sister?"

  "Ten years later, it was his time of death!" Ling Yan said coldly.

  The young master's mouth curled up with a sinister smile, saying: "Not bad, ten years of time, no matter how talented he is, how much stronger can he become? At most, he can only enter the Fate Plateau or the Other Shore Realm. When the time comes, I'll let the Great Elder use 'Tianhe Shuo' to directly break open his immortal mansion and kill him!"

  Linglan nodded slightly.

  ……

  Jiuxiang Building

  Tang Lin returned to the courtyard, gazing at the white clouds in the distance. In his eyes, these white clouds seemed to have their own rhythm and rules.

  Just then——

  A dark figure suddenly appeared in front of him, as if condensed from the air itself. It was Tie Shi.

  "Master." Tang Lin withdrew his gaze and said respectfully.

  Iron Lion gazed at him in astonishment and said: "I've seen your battles, you little brat, be honest with me, what kind of Tao have you grasped?"

  "The way of all living things." Tang Lin said matter-of-factly.

  "What is the Way of All Souls?" Iron Lion furrowed his brow, "What kind of way is this?"

  Tang Lin was at a loss for words for a moment.

  The truth can be grasped intuitively but cannot be conveyed in words.

  "I didn't expect that you would actually achieve enlightenment after secluding yourself for half a month." Tie Shi sat down in front of Tang Lin with a thud, saying: "Looking at your battles, it seems like you haven't used your full strength at all. This time, entering the top ten is a sure thing."

  Tang Lin smiled and nodded.

  "Unexpectedly, I, Iron Lion, have such good fortune to recruit a disciple who has attained enlightenment at the age of eighteen. You're only seventeen this year, aren't you? Tsk tsk..." Iron Lion couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

  Tang Lin asked: "Master, do you know who are the top three?"

  "Do you want to challenge them?" Iron Lion looked at Tang Lin strangely.

  Tang Lin nodded slightly and said, "I want to try it out."

  Now entering the top ten, a huge stone fell in his heart, and at this moment, there was only passion for the good fight.

  "Now the first place is Ming, second place is Xuan Yuan, and third place is Kong." Tie Shi told Tang Lin: "Before, the first place was indeed Ming. Later, he was challenged by Xuan Yuan and defeated, falling to second place. In these two days, Ming has returned to first place again!"

  Tang Lin nodded slightly and said, "It should be that after failure, he gained some insight and his strength has further improved."

  Tie Shi nodded and said: "The origin of this person has been investigated, it is said that he comes from a small tribe on the border, and this person is a traitor in that tribe."

  "Traitor?" Tang Lin asked in surprise.

  "Not bad." Iron Lion nodded and said: "It's said that this person slaughtered everyone in this small tribe."

  Tang Lin's pupils constricted slightly.

  "His father, mother, grandfather and brother were all killed! The only survivors of the tribe are a few hunting parties that went out, everyone else is dead." Iron Lion sighed.

  "Why did he do this?" Tang Lin frowned and said.

  "For the sake of enlightenment!" Iron Lion said: "It is said that he has realized the Dharma of Extinction, extinguishing all things, extinguishing heaven and earth, extinguishing relationships and all attachments. This person will have great potential to become an immortal in the future, because he has already cut off the entangling shackles, and only needs to follow the natural course to be listed among the immortals."

  Tang Lin furrowed his brow, "The Way of Annihilation? Annihilation is nothingness..."

  "This person was born in a small tribe, but he has been gifted since childhood. When he was born, there were unusual signs in the sky, and he is a natural saint. Be careful when fighting." Iron Lion warned.

  Tang Lin nodded slightly.

  "Ranked second is Xuan Yuan, this person is very frightening." Tie Shi said in a low voice: "This person is the number one sword city under heaven, and he's from Xuan Yuan City, moreover, he's the only son of that city master!"

  "Xuanyuan Sword City, everyone uses swords, every household, even chopping vegetables is done with a sword instead of a kitchen knife. This is a city forged from countless swords, known as the First Sword City!"

  "This person's fighting skills, I've seen them before, they've already mastered the world-renowned 'Xuanyuan Nine Swords'!" Iron Lion said to Tang Lin: "It's said that this is the sword technique of the First Emperor of ancient times, passed down for countless years, and very few people can fully master it, but this person has already done so!"

  "First Emperor?" Tang Lin's heart skipped a beat as he immediately thought of the jade seal that Xiao Hui had given him, "That is the mausoleum of the Seventh Emperor of the Ancient Times..."

  "The ancient nine emperors, the Xuan Yuan sword technique was left behind by the first emperor." Tang Lin said silently in his heart, quietly clenching his fist.

  His body's hot blood seemed to be ignited, boiling almost to the point of eruption.

  "As for the third person, he is also extremely powerful. It's said that this person is a rare genius of the Divine Language Clan, skilled in spiritual power and very difficult to deal with." Iron Lion said.

  Tang Lin's heart moved slightly as he asked, "What about the people from the Demon-Suppressing Tribe? How are they ranked?"

  "Zhen Yao Zu?" Iron Lion thought for a moment and said: "It seems like there were twenty or so of them."

  Tang Lin was taken aback, a wry smile spreading from the corner of his mouth. Although the Zhenyao tribe was powerful, most of its strength came from talismans and array methods, but on this battlefield, the enemy would not allow him to set up an array.

  As for talismans, they are also not allowed to be carried.

  In this way, the two strongest means of the Town Demon Clan were restricted, no wonder they didn't even enter the top ten.

  "Who are you prepared to challenge?" Iron Lion asked Tang Lin curiously.

  Tang Lin's eyes flashed with a hint of light as he said, "Challenge Ming!"

  "Challenging me first?" Iron Lion exclaimed in shock.

  Tang Lin nodded slightly and said, "Let's take a look at this Mysterious Extinction Path."

  Iron Lion looked at him strangely and nodded: "I also want to see whether the extinction path is powerful or the multitude path is stronger."

  Tang Lin nodded and bid farewell to his master, then headed to the square to apply for a challenge book.

  "Ming......" Tang Lin muttered this name in his heart, clenching his fist tightly. "The Way of Annihilation, I wonder what kind of power it holds!"

  Back to Jiuxiang Building.

  Tang Lin quietly waited for the response, originally after his first battle in Wudao, he was going to challenge the number one, but thinking that he had just comprehended the Dao and wasn't familiar with using it yet, he decided to practice on the tenth.

  It's at this moment that the real battle begins!
