The image was of a city with rivers of blood and mountains of corpses. This city was none other than Lin City.
In the courtyard of the Shen Family, there was no one alive. Everyone was lying in a pool of blood. Among them were Shen Wuming, Qin Suzhen, the two Xuan Ming elders, Shen Qing, the Enchanted Moon, and even the Sword Saint had fallen.
Shen Lang walked slowly on the river of blood. His expression was cold and gloomy. This image was very realistic, as if it had really happened.
Although he kept thinking that none of this was real, his heart couldn't help but palpitate. A desolate and indignant aura slowly rose in his body.
"Who is it? Who is it? I'm going to kill you. I want everyone to die with you. "
Shen Lang muttered as he walked. A surge of murderous intent stirred up the clouds. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the sky. Even the heavens seemed to be infected by Shen Lang's murderous intent.
At this moment, a blurry human face appeared in the sky. "Shen Lang, I've removed all your worries. If you want to step onto the supreme path and be on par with the heavens, you have to have no worries. Only a heartless person can step into that supreme realm. If you want to break the shackles of this world, you have to be emotionless. The heavens are heartless. If you want to be on par with the heavens, you have to be emotionless."
Hearing the words of the human face, Shen Lang's anger calmed down. He said indifferently, "I know that all of this is fake, but you still succeeded in arousing my murderous intent. Thank you. No matter if you really exist or not, I will repay you."
Hearing Shen Lang's words, the human face fell silent. He couldn't understand. Just a moment ago, Shen Lang was filled with anger. As long as he was slightly provoked, he would be able to ignite his anger. However, he didn't expect that after he appeared, Shen Lang actually calmed down.
"Are you surprised?"
Shen Lang said emotionlessly.
The human face didn't say anything. He just looked at Shen Lang quietly.
"These people do have some place in my heart. However, with my personality, their deaths may make me sad, but it's not to the point of losing my mind. The reason why I was angry was actually to lure you out. Because I know that if I want to leave this place, I need to find you to solve all of this."
Shen Lang raised his head and looked at the human face, "I'm now even more certain that you really exist. My gratitude is to turn you into ashes. No matter who you are or what power you belong to, you won't be able to withstand the trampling of the Underworld. I hope you'll take care of yourself."
"Shen Lang, I'll remember you. I can tell you that this is actually the bridge to the Immortal Realm, and I'm the first generation Celestial of the Eternal Life Palace who has been searching for the Immortal Realm. I'm not here now, but I hope that when I return, I'll be interested in playing with you."
The human face smiled eerily, and the entire scene began to distort.
........
. "Shen Lang murmured at the last moment before the image disappeared.
As the image disappeared, a powerful aura rose from Shen Lang's body. After the enlightenment of this image, Shen Lang knew the true meaning of the Overlord's Dao. No worries could affect him. If the Shen Family was really destroyed one day, he wouldn't feel the slightest bit of heartache. But he wasn't heartless. He would turn all of his enemies into ashes. The Overlord wasn't heartless, but he was more than heartless.
Saber, cut off the path of Jianghu.
Sword, cut off the heart of friendship.
Shen Lang had been hesitating all this time. He didn't know what position the Shen Family had in his heart. If they were just a chess piece, then his body was given to him by Shen Wuming and Qin Suzhen. Before he transmigrated, it was the Shen Family that gave him everything. Later, as he transmigrated, his identity changed. He thought about what he would do if the Shen Family became a threat to him one day.
Now, after the enlightenment of that image, he knew that he could kill his closest relatives. As long as they blocked his path, they were all enemies.
If they didn't stop him, then he was willing to protect the Shen Family to the best of his ability. He wanted the Shen Family to become the strongest force outside of the Hades. He wanted the Shen Family to walk on the altar.
"Haha, little friend, you are indeed different from ordinary people. If you want to become an immortal, you have to have no desires. You have to understand the ideals in your heart. I think you are still young. I don't know how you trained to have such wisdom."
Suddenly, a wisp of smoke appeared in front of Shen Lang. Then, he saw an old man with white hair, white beard, and white robes. He was all smiles as he appeared.
Shen Lang's expression changed. He immediately clasped his fist and said, "I am Shen Lang. Greetings, Senior."
The moment this person appeared, Shen Lang knew that he must be incomparably terrifying. He could turn a person into smoke. How terrifying was that?
He wasn't a fool. Although he was the Lord of the Hades and had a noble status, he couldn't use it as a bargaining chip. Even if the people of the Hades were here, Shen Lang wouldn't dare to be presumptuous.
"Haha, little friend, you don't have to be like this. I have seen your face. It is indescribable. Sooner or later, we will be on the same path. Even that old man who calls himself the first Heavenly Sovereign isn't as good as you."
The old man let out a hearty laugh as a look of satisfaction flashed across his aged eyes.
Shen Lang secretly smacked his lips. The first Heavenly Sovereign was a legendary figure. How could he be called out by the old man so casually? This old man was probably stronger than the first Heavenly Sovereign.
As if he could see through Shen Lang's heart, the old man stroked his beard and said, "Don't underestimate that person. I have fought with him three times. The first time, he was completely defeated. The second time, I was slightly better. The third time …"
Shen Lang's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't help but ask, "Could it be a draw?"
"Little friend, you are indeed smart. It can be said that I have already lost. That person has been improving while I have remained in the same place. In the path of martial arts, not improving is already regressing. So, the next time that person comes, I will probably lose."
Although the old man was talking about his loss, Shen Lang didn't see a trace of panic or fear from him.
Everyone knew that when warriors fought, defeat was equivalent to death. However, this old man didn't have the slightest fear of death. It could only mean that this old man's wisdom had already reached the point where he could see through life and death.
"Senior, what realm was the first Heavenly Sovereign's strength at? Was he at the peak of True Divinity?"
Shen Lang asked, puzzled.
The old man shook his head. "Little friend, there is no need to ask. I can only tell you that True Divinity is indeed the highest realm of martial arts. But compared to me, it is still a little bit worse. If a True Divinity powerhouse fought with me, I could defeat him within ten moves and kill him within a hundred moves.
"Of course, if it was a different kind of True Divinity, I might not be able to kill him, but I could suppress him."
Shen Lang couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Listening to the old man's words, Shen Lang couldn't help but guess just how terrifying this old man's strength was. If he could even kill a True Divinity, could he already be an immortal?
