Lin Xiu was not a novice; even if he did not participate in the struggle for supremacy, he was still a powerful Golden Immortal, so his mindset was relatively peaceful.

It would have been fine if the Celestial Venerable had sent him to contend for supremacy, as he had ambitions. But what's the situation now? He's now being asked to destroy the Cloud Palace!

The Cloud Palace is far superior to the Cloud Hall, and Lin Xiu knew that this was impossible and would certainly not agree.

Even with four sages present, he did not have a high opinion of them.

Although he has now attained sainthood, he knows perfectly well that he has only obtained the title of saint in name only.

My current combat power is not even as good as a Quasi-Saint!

Upon introspection, he discovered that his body was collapsing from the most minute level, and the broken sequence had merged with his primordial spirit, which would not change even if he were reborn through the Heavenly Dao.

He felt immense pain at all times, all thanks to the people before him, so how could he serve them?

The Celestial Venerable said with a playful tone, "It's too late for you to regret it now. You'd better just submit to my control."

Lin Xiu endured the physical pain and shouted, "You can't stop me from committing suicide."

Tian Sheng sneered, "Your woman is incredibly beautiful, and I've tolerated her for a long time. If you're willing to serve me, I'll let your woman go. If you don't obey..."

Lin Xiu coughed up a mouthful of blood upon hearing this and cursed, "You are unworthy of being called a saint!"

He scoffed, "A saint? I am a Primordial Golden Immortal, free and unrestrained, lawless and unruly. Who can do anything to me!"

The Heavenly Venerable was never a good person to begin with. If he were to become a saint and be subject to the restraints of the Heavenly Dao, he might become more restrained.

However, he was exceptionally talented, not only achieving the Great Luo Golden Immortal of Hunyuan, but also experiencing rapid advancement in his cultivation. Moreover, he encountered numerous fortuitous events, allowing his cultivation to reach the peak of the ninth level of Hunyuan.

However, the Heavenly Dao Realm is ethereal and there are no predecessors to guide him, so even with his extremely high talent, he simply cannot grasp the threshold.

He tried countless methods, but to no avail. After a while, he gave up on even dreaming of reaching the Heavenly Dao Realm.

As a result, he became depressed and handled everything based on his mood, earning him a bad reputation!

He committed countless evil deeds, showing no airs of a superior being and being shameless. Despite his high level of cultivation, several saints had set traps to besiege him, but he managed to break through them with his endless methods and escape.

He then came to them one by one. Unable to kill the saint, he wiped out their descendants and disciples, becoming incomparably fierce.

After that, no one dared to retaliate, which made him even more unscrupulous!

It can be said that not only the people of Kunwu Sea hate him to the bone, but even people from other regions despise him!

If it weren't for his superb skills, they would probably all be dead!

Faced with such a shameless Hunyuan expert, Lin Xiu was at a loss for words. All he could do now was obey orders.

"Let Tan'er go first, I'll stay and do whatever you want with me!"

Lin Xiu had no other choice but to resort to this desperate measure. He was not afraid of death; Di Tan was his only weakness.

The Celestial Venerable was not so easy to talk to. He grinned maliciously, reached out and grabbed a person, Di Tan, from his hand.

Di Tan's throat was gripped by his large hand, and all his strength was sealed, leaving him with no power to fight back.

“Tan’er!” Lin Xiu called out.

"Release her, or I'll kill myself on the spot!"

Tian Sheng laughed and said, "If you dare to commit suicide, I dare to rape and kill her first, and let me taste the flavor of the woman of the Chosen One!"

Lin Xiu, feeling frustrated, spat out another mouthful of blood and cursed, "You, a dignified Grand Luo Golden Immortal, actually lack martial ethics? Despicable and shameless!"

"If I were talking about martial ethics, I would have been dead long ago. How ridiculous!"

"If I die, you'll get nothing. You might as well let her go, and I'll cooperate with you."

"Even if I release her, where do you think she can escape to? Do you think it's possible for a mere Golden Immortal to escape the control of Hunyuan?"

"After you've used me, you'll probably kill us to silence us. We won't escape anyway, so we might as well fight to the death!" Lin Xiu struggled.

After a moment's hesitation, the Celestial Venerable released his grip and flung Di Tan away, sending him flying off the platform.

"Since you understand, I can promise you a quick death afterwards! If you don't, I'll make you see this woman's fate with your own eyes!"

At first glance, Tian Sheng's powerful aura firmly held Di Tan in place, instantly shattering her outer garments and revealing her fair skin!

Lin Xiu roared, "No! I agree to your request!"

He forced himself to say those words despite the physical and mental pain, and his body instantly went limp, as if he had lost all motivation.

Di Tan looked at his Daoist partner with worry. He hadn't expected Lin Xiu to go to such lengths for him. It seemed he hadn't misjudged him.

Their eyes met, filled with a mixture of love and helplessness.

Compared to a Primordial Chaos expert, they are nothing!

Di Tan's heart sank to the bottom. He had already crushed the jade talisman that Meng Fan had given him, but the figure he had hoped for did not appear, as if he was also afraid of Tian Sheng.

She laughed self-deprecatingly, and thinking back, it made sense. If that person were really that powerful, he would have shown up and wiped out Tian Sheng and the others long ago, instead of waiting until now!

What she didn't know was that Meng Fan had already arrived and was hiding right beside her.

Meng Fan wanted to see what kind of expression Tian Sheng would have if his two-thousand-year-long plan to seize the Heavenly Dao failed.

This world was not formed naturally, but was created by Meng Fan. Meng Fan holds absolute power, and the Heavenly Dao merely manages it on his behalf!

The four of them, including Tian Sheng and Sheng Yi, exchanged glances and instructed Lin Xiu not to resist. They then activated the formation.

They were using the Heaven Refining Formation, and Meng Fan was inspired by their formation to create the Heaven Refining Absolute Formation.

Lin Xiu lost control of himself the moment they activated the formation and could only watch helplessly as they did as they pleased.

"The Heaven-Refining Formation uses heaven and earth as a furnace to refine oneself, resulting in death!"

Purple light slowly rose around the four of them, and then they pointed and shot the purple light into Lin Xiu's body.

Lin Xiu felt the same way as You Yindi, as if something was slowly draining from his body. He couldn't tell what it was, only that it was being constantly pulled out.

The Celestial Venerable frowned and said, "How could it be only about one in a thousand?"

Upon hearing this, Sheng Yi, Sheng Er, and Sheng San all frowned and said, "Even the worst Chosen One has three or four percent of the Heavenly Dao within them. With only one percent of that power, refining the Heavenly Dao will probably take even longer."

Tian Sheng said, "Forget it, things have come to this. Let it take a while. Anyway, nothing major will happen in the Boundless World in these two thousand years."

Meng Fan's expression turned slightly strange after hearing this. This guy probably doesn't even know that his stronghold has been destroyed!

Moreover, it was a thorough destruction, wiping out their entire lineage. If Meng Fan hadn't set up an array outside the entire Qingxuan World, they probably would have sensed it long ago!
