This offspring was Mu Zhuque's second son, Mu Chunfeng, the crown prince of the Zhuque clan.

As the symbol of Mu Zhuque's humiliation, Mu Chunfeng naturally received no love from his father, and the Zhuque Queen would never show any care for a child who was not her own. In fact, these two parents wished he were dead. As a result, even as the crown prince, Mu Chunfeng had an extremely difficult childhood and was completely out of place in the Zhuque clan, like an outsider.

Mu Feng took pity on his plight and took him into the Phoenix Palace to raise him. However, by then his mind had already become twisted. In the future, he took revenge on the Vermilion Bird and Phoenix clans, which even affected the entire Tianyan Star Universe, causing chaos and bloodshed throughout the world.

Long Xun disliked Mu Chunfeng; he was like a powder keg that could explode at any moment, and he didn't care that the consequences of the explosion would destroy him as well.

His twisted madness permeated his soul, and even when it was broken into pieces and went through its own cycle of reincarnation, Mu Chunfeng would turn into this terrifying state again once he encountered the slightest provocation.

Long Xun glanced at the dragon corpse, its horn half-grown and its breathing long and deep.

—Moreover, Atan's death was undoubtedly the thing that would most disturb his soul.

As his memories returned, Long Xun gradually recalled the time when Ye Tan and Mu Chunfeng knelt outside the Dragon God Temple, begging for his permission.

This arrogant and madman was willing to atone for his sins for his son, and he was happy to endure the most painful punishment as long as he could get his son's approval.

It is hateful, yet also tragic; pitiful, yet lamentable.

but……

In this world, both he and Atan must die.

Long Xun pressed his right hand on the fiery cage with a little force, and with a crisp cracking sound, the sturdy cage, which could have trapped even the most powerful Fuxi, Nuwa, and Shennong together, shattered.

Amidst the scattered sparks, Long Xun calmly watched as the pillar of light enveloping the Azure Dragon shattered in an instant.

The Vermilion Bird opened its eyes wide in disbelief and let out a piercing cry: "No—!"

The dragon horn, which had grown so long that it could have fully recovered with just a finger joint remaining, shattered. The Azure Dragon's huge eyelids twitched slightly, but only a sigh of unwillingness escaped into the ears of those present.

A bluish light emanated from the dragon's corpse, rising rapidly like weathered sand and disappearing completely within a few breaths.

The Vermilion Bird swooped down from the sky. In his panic, he forgot to control his landing and fell to the ground, rolling several times before finally using his wings to support himself and running around aimlessly in the Heavenly Palace on his long, slender bird legs.

"Ah Tan... is gone... How could this be... Ah Tan... wouldn't be gone... You're lying to me... You're lying to me... Don't lie to me... I'm angry..."

Just moments ago, Mu Chunfeng was arrogant and fierce, but now he was so distraught that he forgot everything, including transforming into a more convenient human form. He fluttered his wings wildly in the air, as if he could dispel the illusion and see that the Azure Dragon's corpse was still in the same spot.

"You came back to life, I heard you... Are you angry with me...? I'm sorry, I just wanted you to come back to life..."

Yin Chen sighed inwardly and turned his head away with some reluctance. He saw Long Xun draw his sword and shield and leap towards Mu Chunfeng with a powerful leap.

Caught off guard, Suzaku was stunned and then struck squarely by the seven consecutive slashes of the Absolute Blade.

Mu Chunfeng died just like that, not at all like a villain, pathetically killed by Long Xun without any reaction.

Perhaps from the moment the Azure Dragon's corpse disappeared, he had lost all hope, which is why he completely gave up and allowed the dragon to kill him.

—Some beings, no matter how many cycles of reincarnation occur, will never change the most essential things deep within their souls.

Just like Ah Chen's sense of responsibility and open-mindedness, and his deep and unwavering love for Long Xun, just like Mu Chunfeng's crazy obsession and his willingness to follow Ah Tan through life and death.

How fortunate were Long Xun and his son! There are so many heartless and fickle people in the world, yet the ones they met, fell in love with, and held dear in their hearts were people whose feelings were etched into their souls, people they would never forget for all eternity.

Yin Chen noticed that he was in a bad mood, so she walked behind him and called out worriedly, "A-Xun, don't be sad."

Long Xun shook his head slightly.

He wasn't sad. The Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird of this small world died, but their souls would be collected and nurtured by Mu Feng in the Heavenly Evolution World.

The important thing now is...

Long Xun raised his head and looked at Fuxi, who was trying to escape in the air. His powerful aura sealed off the entire celestial realm, leaving him unable to advance or retreat.

Raising his long sword and pointing it diagonally at the Heavenly Emperor, Long Xun parted his thin lips and coldly said, "Prepare to die!"
