My Longevity Simulation

Chapter 599

rable

“tian...”

“jue...”

the old fisherman murmured these two words softly, his expression initially filled with confusion.

as he repeated them over and over, it seemed as though he recalled something, a faint light flickering in his clouded eyes.

“i am...”

“tian jue?”

as the fisherman’s memories gradually returned, the black fiendish aura already surging around him grew even thicker.

it became like a rolling black tide, spreading and raging outward.

however, all the fiendish aura instinctively avoided the heavenly doctor before it could even approach him.

between the two opposing figures, an expansive empty space was formed.

the heavenly doctor remained unmoved by the ominous aura. observing tian jue’s still-dazed state, he showed a trace of surprise.

“your memories haven’t returned? then how...”

the heavenly doctor's eyes gleamed as he prepared to take action.

but suddenly, a distant voice reciting ancient scripture echoed through the air:

“heaven’s law is solemn, observe the rules and follow the order.”

“i have obtained the dharma, spreading it to all beings.”

“heaven’s law cannot be defied.”

the heavenly doctor’s expression finally shifted noticeably.

narrowing his eyes, he turned to look in the direction of the voice.

“moo!”

without warning, a massive green ox the size of a small mountain appeared before him.

its horns tilted upwards, and its four hooves moved swiftly, charging forward as if to crush the heavenly doctor in one blow.

“beast!” the heavenly doctor snorted coldly.

he did not dodge but simply raised his right hand, where a glimmer of silver light appeared.

the silver light transformed into a fine thread, piercing the azure ox like lightning.

in an instant, the thread wove back and forth countless times, slicing through the ox entirely.

the green ox was reduced to countless unrecognizable fragments, yet it continued its forward momentum, scattering into the air.

“condense!”

a furious shout rang out suddenly.

moments later, the green ox that had been dismembered by the heavenly doctor miraculously reassembled, its original form emerging from the scattered remains. nôv(el)b\\jnn

leaping above the heavenly doctor, it prepared to trample him underfoot.

yet the heavenly doctor still did not evade.

before the ox could touch him, its body suddenly shrank.

from a fully grown, robust beast, it became a newborn calf in the blink of an eye.

"grandmaster hanhai?"

from various corners of the cloud-water heavenly palace, astonished exclamations could faintly be heard.

"at least someone here is still clear-headed," the heavenly doctor commented coldly.

in the next moment, the azure ocean in the sky rapidly contracted, condensing into a flickering phantom that seemed as though it could shatter at any moment.

the figure appeared before the three—heavenly doctor, sage, and the old fisherman.

"greetings, esteemed ones," the figure said with neither arrogance nor servility.

"hanhai, what is the meaning of this?"

suppressing his anger, tianyu asked in a low voice upon noticing hanhai's strange attitude.

"the culprit is right in front of us. with the blood feud of the past, why not exact our revenge now?"

"master sage is right—blood debts must indeed be repaid in blood. but..."

hanhai did not look at the heavenly doctor but instead turned to the old fisherman, who still seemed somewhat bewildered while holding the sword.

"the one who slaughtered the cloud-water heavenly palace back then was not the heavenly doctor."

"it was tian jue!"

his words carried a raging resentment, and hanhai's azure phantom trembled violently.

his furious gaze locked onto the other party as if tumultuous waves churned within him.

"hmm?" tianyu was slightly stunned, then shook his head and sighed.

"hanhai, in the end, you cannot escape the effects of time. has even your memory of that day become muddled?"

"the butcher who exploited the vulnerability of our rear defenses and massacred every major sect—is it not this traitor before us?"

tianyu's gaze bore into the heavenly doctor, and the flames of hatred reignited in his eyes.

"one person may err. but could the countless souls who perished on that day all be mistaken?"

hanhai shook his head resolutely and said, "i do not know about other sects; they are unrelated to me.

"but the one who destroyed my cloud-water heavenly palace was undoubtedly venerable tian jue!"

he spoke with absolute certainty.

"though his appearance matched that of the heavenly doctor, and even his aura was identical..."

"his ruthless, annihilative actions and his cold, emotionless demeanor could never have been mimicked by the heavenly doctor."

"most importantly, the weapon used in the massacre was none other than the hilt of the heavenly calamity sword, now sealed within taiyi."

"the heavenly calamity, a weapon of unparalleled power, can only be wielded by venerable tian jue."

these words made even the sage hesitate. he turned his head to glance at tian jue.

it seemed hanhai's words had stirred something buried deep within tian jue's mind.

he stared blankly at his own hands.

after a long while, he suddenly spoke.

"yes, it was me who did it..."

"what!" the sage's hunched figure straightened instantly as he stared incredulously at the old fisherman, who had just confessed.
