Chapter 310 The Celestial Compass Shocks the World
……
[Tianxuan Realm, Extreme Cold Ice Plains, 30,000 miles underground]
This is where the cold veins of the earth's core converge, and even the rocks are frozen into mysterious ice, harder than spirit iron.
An old man dressed in a gray robe with shifty eyes was huddled in a naturally formed ice cave, his body covered with talismans that emitted a mysterious aura.
He is "True Monarch of a Thousand Illusions", a rogue cultivator at the sixth level of the eighth-order Tribulation Transcending Realm, whose greatest skill is concealment and escape.
"hey-hey……"
Sensing the terrifying intensity of the search from the outside world, Qianhuan Zhenjun revealed a smug smile on his face.
"Duanmu Hong, Duanmu Hong, you are strong, but you are not an immortal after all."
"This [Deceive Heaven and Conceal Earth Talisman] of mine was obtained from an ancient ruin. Even a true ninth-rank expert might not be able to see through my hiding place!"
"Trying to conscript men from this old man? Dream on!"
"Once this storm passes, I'll come out again and live a carefree life!"
However, just as he thought he had succeeded and was about to have a good night's sleep, things took a turn for the worse.
"Buzz—!!!"
A massive and terrifying wave suddenly and without warning pierced through the ice layer that stretched for 30,000 miles and descended directly into this small ice cave!
Qianhuan Zhenjun suddenly opened his eyes, his hair standing on end.
Above his head, the originally black ice rock had become transparent.
An enormous eye, formed from pure golden light, coldly gazed at him through endless time and space.
Within that eye, countless mysterious runes flowed, seemingly containing all the causes and destinies of the world.
Under its gaze, the Heaven-Deceiving Talisman, which Qianhuan Zhenjun was so proud of, was like a piece of waste paper, instantly igniting and turning into ashes!
"What...what is this?"
The Thousand Illusions True Lord was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder trembled, and he screamed in terror.
Immediately afterwards, a majestic voice, as powerful as the judgment of heaven, exploded directly in his mind.
"Rogue cultivator Qianhuan, sixth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm."
"Refusing to respond to the call to duty, attempting to evade it through deception."
"A crime deserving of death!"
Before the words were finished, the golden eye blinked sharply.
"boom--!"
A golden beam of destructive light, ignoring the distance in space, struck Qianhuan Zhenjun directly!
"No!! Spare me!! I'll go..."
"puff!"
The pleas for mercy abruptly stopped.
This eighth-level True Monarch, skilled in self-preservation, didn't even have a chance to resist; he was completely obliterated, body and soul, by that golden light.
Only a wisp of ashes remained, slowly drifting away in the ice cave.
……
The same scene was playing out in every corner of the Tianxuan Realm.
Deep in the mountains of southern Xinjiang.
A demon cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage hid inside the belly of a giant beast, only to be struck by a divine lightning bolt from the sky, turning both the beast and the demon cultivator into charred remains!
A hidden underwater paradise in the East China Sea.
An ancestor at the Tribulation Transcending Realm sealed off the entrance to the entire secret realm, believing himself to be foolproof.
As a result, the entire secret realm was crushed by a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky, as if it were a bubble being popped.
……
【Demon Slayer Hall - Heavenly Secrets Platform】
Duanmu Hong stood with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering in the wind.
Before him floated a gigantic compass, about ten feet in diameter—the [Celestial Compass]!
The compass is entirely bronze in color and is engraved with intricate star trails and Bagua directions.
At this moment, the compass was slowly rotating, and with each rotation, a golden thread of cause and effect shot out and disappeared into the void.
On the giant light screen projected above the compass, the execution of those "deserters" was being played in real time!
This light screen isn't just for showing things here.
Furthermore, through his great supernatural powers, he projected it onto the skies above every city in the entire Tianxuan Realm!
This is a case of making an example of someone!
"Did you see that?"
Duanmu Hong's voice, transmitted through the formation, spread throughout the world.
"This is the consequence of disobeying the Demon-Slaying Hall and defying my orders!"
"The Heavenly Compass in my hand is a ninth-grade superior treasure, bearing the cause and effect of the Heavenly Dao."
"As long as you exist in this world, as long as you remain within the Five Elements..."
"Whether you hide at the ends of the earth or in a rat hole..."
"I was able to find you all!"
Duanmu Hong's eyes were icy cold, as if he were looking at a group of dead people.
"You have three days left."
"If anyone still hasn't gathered at the designated location three days later..."
"The causal lines on this compass will come to you personally!"
……
Quiet.
A deathly silence.
Looking at the bloody execution scene in the sky, and the terrifying scene where even an eighth-level Venerable could not escape death.
All the cultivators who harbored any hope collapsed completely at this moment.
"That's...that's terrifying..."
"Even a powerhouse of Thousand Illusions True Monarch's level is dead... Where can we hide now?"
"This is truly a case of annihilation!"
"Stop talking! Go report now! Going to the Void Battlefield offers a chance of survival; otherwise, you're dead!"
"Waaaaah... I want to go home and find my mom..."
At this moment, fear becomes the most effective whip.
Under the intimidation of the powerful weapon, the cultivators who were previously observing and hiding no longer dared to hesitate in the slightest.
Streaks of light, like startled locusts, rose from every corner of the Heavenly Profound Realm, rushing towards the various gathering points set up by the Demon Extermination Hall.
They were terrified that if they were even a step too slow, they would be stared to death by that terrifying "heavenly eye".
Even though they all knew that using the Heavenly Compass would come at a huge cost and that they certainly couldn't wipe out all the deserters.
But endless fear had already filled their hearts, leaving them no time to think about these things.
……
【Demon Slayer Hall - Guest Residence】
Inside the small courtyard.
Lin Hanzhou stood under the eaves, watching the huge light curtain slowly dissipate in the sky, and the golden causal lines that almost covered the entire sky.
Instead of fear, a hint of amazement flashed in his eyes.
"Is this the power of a ninth-tier supreme treasure? It's truly terrifying!"
Witnessing this scene, he finally understood why the mortality rate of reincarnated beings in this world was so high.
With this all-around, no-blind-spot killing artifact, reincarnated individuals have nowhere to hide.
Even now, if he were to fully activate the "Heavenly Secrets Strategy" to conceal his own secrets, he probably still wouldn't be able to hide them from this Heavenly Secrets Compass.
However, he never intended to hide; instead, he was preparing to go to the inheritance site of the Demon Slayer Palace.
He certainly couldn't miss out on the free buffet.
......
Time flies, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye.
This week was undoubtedly the darkest and most turbulent week for the entire Tianxuan Realm and its countless subordinate small worlds since the ancient War of Collapse.
There was no earth-shattering battle, nor any bloodshed.
All that exists is a suffocating emptiness.
A sense of emptiness and death after one's blood has been forcibly drained and bone marrow removed.
The Demon Slaying Hall's emotionless "Universal Summoning Order," combined with the ninth-tier treasure [Heavenly Mystery Compass] that hangs in the sky and monitors the world day and night, is like a vast, all-encompassing net that captures and annihilates all living forces in this world.
