Chapter 289: Mystery
Yan Nantian was not a threat to Qin Jue at all.
At most, he had only turned from being an insignificant ant to a powerless mayfly.
However, Yan Nantian didn't realize this. If he knew Qin Jue's inner thoughts at this moment, who knew what he would think?
What Qin Jue was more curious about now was that according to what Nantian Yan had said, if experts above the God King Stage were unable to enter the Inner Realm, then what realm was he at?
Or perhaps, he was not restricted at all?
…
"I'll let you witness the strength of a true upper realm True God Stage expert."
Yan Nantian's eyes were like lightning, and his entire body was bathed in purple light. The wings on his back continued to extend, covering the sky and sun.
Not only that, but all kinds of abnormal phenomena appeared in the purple light. Dozens of spirit energy attributes intertwined. It could be said to be a magnificent sight!
As one of the thirty six protectors of the Heavenly Palace, Yan Nantian was rarely matched even among the higher realm experts. If he was in the Outer Realm, Yan Nantian might be afraid of experts of the same realm, but in the Inner Realm, he was an invincible existence!
"The special effects are indeed impressive."
Qin Jue praised, "I'll try too."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Jue's body suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light that spread crazily. In a few breaths of time, it had already formed an opposition with the purple light on Yan Nantian's body. From afar, it looked as if the entire void had been cut into two. One side was purple, and the other side was golden. They were exceptionally gorgeous.
"Do you think that by wasting your spirit energy to release some useless light, you can make up for the difference between the two of us?"
Yan Nantian looked down at Qin Jue and sneered, "Soon, you will know how stupid you are."
In the next moment, Nantian flicked his finger and a purple light instantly shot towards Qin Jue.
Before it could approach Qin Jue, the purple light split into two, then four, and then into eight. In the blink of an eye, it had already become thousands and thousands of smaller segments of lights that enveloped Qin Jue from different directions, containing an incomparable destructive force.
Qin Jue was expressionless as he slowly raised his arm. All the purple lights were instantly frozen in midair.
"I don't think you know what's going on."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the purple light immediately swept back and flew towards Yan Nantian in all directions.
"How is this possible?"
Yan Nantian was shocked and hurriedly raised his shield to resist.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Countless purple lights landed on the shield like raindrops on a lake, creating layers of ripples. Fortunately, Yan Nantian had not used his full strength. Otherwise, he would have suffered the consequences.
At the same time, Qin Jue took a step forward and directly passed through the shield to arrive in front of Yan Nantian. Since he knew the other party's strength, there was no need for him to continue probing.
"You…"
Without waiting for Yan Nantian to react, Qin Jue punched out!
Hu!
A violent wind blew past, blowing Yan Nantian's hair back and making it difficult for him to open his eyes.
For a moment, Nantian felt like he was about to die.
"Mm? Why am I suddenly fine?"
After a long while, Yan Nantian lowered his head, his face full of surprise. Qin Jue's fist had indeed landed on him, but why didn't it hurt?
Could it be that from beginning to end, Qin Jue had only been bluffing?
Soon, Yan Nantian realized that something was wrong. My wings? Also, why does he feel so light?
"You… you destroyed my body?"
Yan Nantian finally reacted.
That's right. Without injuring his soul, Qin Jue directly destroyed Yan Nantian's body with a single punch.
"How is it? Are you satisfied?"
Qin Jue retracted his fist and asked with a smile.
"…"
"Impossible, this is impossible!"
Yan Nantian seemed to have gone crazy as he shouted hysterically, "Who are you? How could you destroy my body?!"
One had to know that after advancing to the True God Stage, the body would become an indestructible divine body.
Within the same realm, even if one could defeat the other party, it would not be so easy to destroy the divine body. Something like this couldn't have happened unless Qin Jue was a God King Stage expert.
Thinking of this, Nan Tian was stunned. After all, how could Qin Jue be this strong if he wasn't a God King Stage expert?
But… How could there be a God King Stage expert in the Inner Realm?
Could it be that the prophecy was true?
Seeing Yan Nantian fall into a daze, Qin Jue shrugged his shoulders and couldn't be bothered to waste his breath. He directly used the soul searching technique on Yan Nantian.
The reason why he had left behind Nantian Yan's soul was because he wanted to search his soul. Otherwise, Qin Jue would have just killed him directly.
"Ah!"
Yan Nantian, who was in deep thought, screamed. Then, his head tilted and he lost consciousness.
Ten minutes later, Qin Jue lightly clenched his fist and directly crushed the unconscious Yan Nantian.
At this point, one of the thirty six protectors of the Heavenly Palace in the Outer Realm had been completely destroyed.
"Outer Realm…"
Qin Jue muttered to himself, his eyes flashing.
Yan Nantian was indeed worthy of being one of the Heavenly Palace's thirty six protectors. He almost knew the Outer Realm like the back of his hand. All of Qin Jue's previous doubts were basically resolved now.
The so-called Outer Realm was actually the world outside this void, also known as the God Realm.
To put it simply, the difference between the Inner Realm and the Outer Realm was like the difference between the mortal world and the immortal world in immortal cultivation novels.
There were more than one dimension like the Inner Realm.
All cultivators would automatically ascend to the God Realm after advancing to the God King Stage. This was also the reason why a God King Stage expert was unable to enter the Inner Realm.
As for the Outer Realm Heavenly Palace, it was an extremely powerful faction in the God Realm. The master of this realm called himself the "Heavenly Emperor". Unfortunately, this "Heavenly Emperor" rarely appeared. Even Yan Nantian didn't know what he looked like, making Qin Jue somewhat disappointed.
However, what was certain was that this "Heavenly Emperor" had definitely reached the God King Stage. The order to kill the person who awakened the Heavenly Emperor's remnant soul was issued by him.
However, what Qin Jue cared about the most was that prophecy.
According to Yan Nantian's memories, that prophecy was given to the "Heavenly Emperor" by a mysterious expert. This expert told him that once someone awakened the remnant soul in the ruins, the Heavenly Palace would face its end.
The "Heavenly Emperor" seemed to be very familiar with the Inner Realm. He knew that the remnant soul in the ruins referred to the Heavenly Emperor and knew exactly what to do.
However, Qin Jue still didn't understand how the "Heavenly Emperor" in the Outer Realm knew that he had awakened the Heavenly Emperor's remnant soul in the Inner Realm. Moreover, he was able to send out four True God Stage experts in such a short period of time.
From the looks of it, if he didn't deal with this "Heavenly Emperor", the Heavenly Palace would probably continue to send experts to deal with him.
In this way, the Heavenly Palace would very likely be destroyed by Qin Jue because of this, and the main culprit would be that expert who gave the prophecy. It really made people not know whether to laugh or to cry.
After another moment, Qin Jue sorted out his thoughts and turned around to remove the golden light around Long Xiaoyu's body. He said, "The matter has been settled. You can go back now."
"Thank you, Senior!"
Long Xiaoyu was incomparably excited.
Originally, she was very worried about Qin Jue, but she didn't expect that Qin Jue would kill a True God Stage expert so easily. The battle ended in a few moves.
"Yeah, I still have something to do. Bye."
After saying this, Qin Jue's figure flashed and disappeared like a ghost.
Just as he had said just now, if he didn't deal with the Heavenly Palace, the other party would very likely continue to send experts over. Qin Jue didn't like to stay at home and wait for others to come knocking on his door, so he decided to take the initiative to attack and solve this mystery.
Since the prophecy claimed that the Heavenly Palace would be destroyed by the person who had awakened the Heavenly Emperor's remnant soul, Qin Jue might as well fulfill it.

Chapter 290: The End of the Void
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After dealing with Yan Nantian and the others, Qin Jue wasn't in a hurry to leave the Inner World immediately. Instead, he returned to the Spirit Central World to greet Bai Ye and then took Long Zhui with him.
As for Yun Xi, although she wanted to follow, Qin Jue refused.
It couldn't be helped. The place they were going to this time was too dangerous. For safety's sake, it was better to stay in the Xuanyi Mountain Sect.
The reason why he brought Long Zhui along was purely because Qin Jue was worried about leaving Long Zhui alone.
In addition, Long Zhui was Qin Jue's mount, so how could he not use him at this time?
In the void, Long Zhui transformed into a thousand-foot-long white dragon that carried Qin Jue through the spatial gate and arrived at a strange place.
Everything at this place was pitch-black. Nothing could be seen. It was cold and deep, without any light. It was like the Nine Nether Hell, making one shudder.
Long Zhui couldn't help but shudder. "Master, where is this? It's so terrifying."
One had to know that Long Zhui was at the Great Sage Stage. If even he was affected by the surroundings, it could be seen how terrifying this place was.
"The end of the void." Qin Jue said indifferently.
"The end of the void?"
Long Zhui was stunned for a moment before he said in disbelief, "Is there really an end to the void?"
According to Long Zhui's understanding, the void should be boundless. How could there be an end?
Qin Jue didn't answer Long Zhui's question but ordered, "Continue forward."
"Yes."
Long Zhui did not dare to disobey and could only fly forward again.
The deeper they went, the stronger the cold feeling became. Even Long Zhui, who was a member of the White Dragon Race known for their excellent defense, felt his entire body turn cold and unbearable for a moment. A layer of frost condensed on his scales.
Most importantly, there was no spirit qi here, which was equivalent to cutting off Long Zhui's source of power.
With this, it wouldn't be long before he was exhausted.
Just as Long Zhui was about to collapse, Qin Jue suddenly waved his hand and said, "Stop."
Immediately after, Qin Jue crouched down and patted Long Zhui's head.
In an instant, an indescribable energy surged into Long Zhui's limbs and bones. Long Zhui, who was still dispirited a moment ago, immediately became spirited and recovered to normal.
"Stay here and don't move. I'll go take a look."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Jue instantly turned into a stream of light and rushed out, finally stopping about a thousand meters away from Long Zhui.
Then Qin Jue raised his finger and lightly tapped twice.
Boom!
In the next moment, an incomparable energy storm swept out like a monstrous wave, instantly swallowing Qin Jue and pouncing towards Long Zhui.
"What is this?"
Long Zhui was shocked. "Master, are you alright?"
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Jue had already appeared in front of him. Countless golden lights gathered together, forming an indestructible "wall" that blocked all the energy storms.
"I'm fine."
Qin Jue casually said.
Only when the energy storm calmed down did the golden light dissipate.
"I didn't expect such a huge reaction."
Qin Jue frowned.
"Master, what happened just now?"
Long Zhui heaved a sigh of relief, still feeling lingering fear.
"It's nothing. It's just a backlash from the border between the two realms." Qin Jue answered.
According to Yan Nantian's memories, this should be the end of the void, and outside this realm was the God Realm.
Qin Jue didn't expect that the border between the two realms would have such a huge reaction with just two light taps. If it were an ordinary Great Void Stage expert, they would probably be dead.
What was worth mentioning was that both Nan Tianyan and Lin Yu had used a special method to pass through the border.
If he forcefully barged in, he would most likely suffer an even stronger backlash, or even be rejected by the Heavenly Dao.
This was also one of the reasons why God King Stage experts were unable to enter the realm. If one's cultivation was too strong, they would be automatically repelled by the Heavenly Dao.
Qin Jue was the only exception.
"However… I'm not interested in using any special methods."
Although Yan Nantian had a method to pass through the realm in his memories, Qin Jue didn't plan to try it because it would waste too much time.
Thinking like this, Qin Jue's right hand suddenly lit up with a dazzling golden light, illuminating the surroundings as if it was daytime.
"Break!"
Taking a deep breath, Qin Jue punched with a constant speed.
Hu!
There were no terrifying spirit energy fluctuations, nor were there any shocking phenomena. It was like a gust of wind.
However, when this gust of wind landed on the distant border barrier, it erupted with a destructive penetrative force!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The void shook and distorted as it shattered. Two different forces attacked and resisted each other. After an unknown period of time…
Bang!
With a loud bang, it was as if the entire world was crying. At the end of his field of vision, a hundred-meter-wide hole suddenly appeared. Opposite it, it was connected to another world!
Qin Jue had actually used his fist to forcefully open a passageway between the two worlds!
Rumble!
The void shook again.. There seemed to be an invisible force pressing down on Qin Jue's body. It was the anger from the "Inner Realm"!
"Let's go."
Ignoring the changes around him, Qin Jue flew above Long Zhui's head and said indifferently.
Qin Jue seemed to be unaware of the pressure released by the "Inner Realm" on his body.
"Yes."
Long Zhui shivered and hurriedly flew out, afraid that he would be devoured by the void if he was any slower.
Hu.
After passing through the realm's huge hole, the first thing that greeted his eyes was a vast starry sky. It looked no different from the Inner Realm.
However, he could clearly sense that the space here was even sturdier. Furthermore, there were all kinds of spirit qi with various attributes flowing around. No wonder Yan Nantian had grasped dozens of spirit energies.
"Is this the God Realm?"
Qin Jue raised his eyes and looked over, suddenly feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Since ancient times, he should be the first existence to forcefully break through the border and enter the God Realm, right?
"Master… Master, I suddenly feel that my spirit energy is somewhat out of control."
Long Zhui's face was pale, and his tone was slightly panicked.
"Hmm?"
Qin Jue lowered his head and realized that the spirit energy in Long Zhui's body had become extremely chaotic under the influence of the surrounding spirit qi, as if it would explode at any moment.
Without any time to think, Qin Jue immediately activated the golden light to help Long Zhui suppress his spirit energy.
After a while, Long Zhui spat out a mouthful of blood. His aura increased instead of decreasing. "Thank you, Master."
If it weren't for Qin Jue, he would have died.
"I only helped you temporarily suppress your spirit energy. Whether you can adapt or not will depend on yourself."
In fact, Qin Jue could completely deal with it at once, but that wouldn't be a good thing for Long Zhui. If he relied on his own ability to adapt to the spirit qi of the God Realm, his cultivation would definitely improve.
Crack!
At this moment, the realm hole behind them suddenly slowly closed until it healed.
Qin Jue didn't care about this at all. After all, he could just make a new hole after flattening the Heavenly Palace and solving the mystery.
"Heavenly Palace…"
After finding the exact location of the Heavenly Palace from Yan Nantian's memories, Qin Jue smiled.
It would soon be revealed who the real "Heavenly Emperor" was.

Chapter 291: Killing His Way Up To the Heavenly Palace
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
As previously stated, the difference between the Inner Realm and the Outer Realm was like the difference between the mortal world and the immortal world in the cultivation novels.
Apart from having many spirit qi attributes, there were also obvious changes in many other aspects.
For example, not only was Long Zhui's spirit energy unstable, but his strength had also decreased greatly.
It was not his cultivation that got reduced. Instead, it was his destructive powers.
In the Inner Realm, although Long Zhui could not be considered a top-notch expert, he could easily crush most low-level dimensions. A casual strike from him was enough to level an area of 5,000 kilometers.
However, in the God Realm, not to mention destroying an area of 5,000 kilometers with a single strike, he couldn't even destroy an area of 1000 kilometers. It was as if he had been directly weakened by ten times!
Of course, Qin Jue did not feel weakened at all.
Therefore, Qin Jue was very curious now and wondered just what realm he was at.
"Master, where are we going?"
Flying in the spatial passageway with Qin Jue on his back, Long Zhui couldn't help but ask.
Until now, Long Zhui still did not know where they were or what they were going to do.
"Heavenly Palace."
Heavenly Palace?
Long Zhui was dumbfounded. He had never heard of this place.
As if seeing through Long Zhui's confusion, Qin Jue casually explained, "I'm looking for a guy who's bored and wants to court death."
Strictly speaking, that was indeed the case.
If it weren't for that "Heavenly Emperor" sending people to kill him for no reason, Qin Jue probably wouldn't have known about the Heavenly Palace in the Outer Realm at all and wouldn't have come knocking on his door. It was true that the Heavenly Emperor was courting death.
Long Zhui :"…"
"I wonder how powerful a God King Stage expert is."
Thinking of this, Qin Jue revealed an expectant expression.
Because he had never fought a God King Stage expert before, Qin Jue was very excited, hoping that he wouldn't be disappointed this time.
Similar to the True God Stage, the God King Stage was also divided into the upper and lower realms. Although Yan Nantian had never seen the "Heavenly Emperor" before, he knew that the "Heavenly Emperor" was an upper realm God King Stage expert.
In addition, the Heavenly Palace still had two lower realm God King Stage experts and thirty-six upper realm True God Stage protectors. Actually, there were only 35 left now.
Even in the God Realm, such a force was still a top faction.
However, Qin Jue didn't care about the 35 protectors at all. In any case, he could deal with them with a single slap.
Just as Qin Jue was thinking, Long Zhui had already flown out of the spatial passageway and arrived above a continent.
Qin Jue had long learned the exact location of the Heavenly Palace from Yan Nantian, so it was naturally not difficult for him to find it.
This was an extremely vast continent that was several times larger than the White Dragon World. As far as the eye could see, there were palaces everywhere, and immortal qi circulated around them. All sorts of auspicious beasts passed through the forest, and from its appearance, this place did indeed look no different from a Heavenly Palace.
Most importantly, Qin Jue saw the familiar special symbols on many buildings. In other words, no matter what the result was, the two Heavenly Palaces were definitely related.
Since he had found the Heavenly Palace, there was no need for Qin Jue to continue letting his imagination run wild. He directly spread out his spirit sense, enveloped the entire Heavenly Palace, and began to search for his target.
"Heavenly Emperor, I am coming for you."
…
In the depths of the Heavenly Palace, Primordial Chaos Divine Hall.
As the most sacred palace of the Heavenly Palace, the entire Primordial Chaos Divine Hall was made of crystal. Not only was it very beautiful, but it could also produce spirit qi on its own and nurture the living beings here.
At this moment, on the throne inside the Primordial Chaos Divine Hall, a handsome middle-aged man with a third eye between his brows was sitting with his eyes closed. His aura was unfathomable, mysterious, and unpredictable.
If Qin Jue were here, he would definitely recognize that the middle-aged man looked almost identical to the remnant soul Heavenly Emperor.
At this moment, the middle-aged man seemed to have sensed something as his eyes trembled and he slowly opened them.
One of his pupils was blue, and the other was golden. They were like galaxies, vast and deep.
In an instant, the entire divine hall lit up.
Boom!
The originally clear sky instantly darkened, sweeping up clouds and spinning. Accompanied by lightning and thunder, it was as if the end of the world had arrived.
"What happened?"
"I know this phenomenon! It means that the Heavenly Emperor has awakened!"
"Your Majesty Heavenly Emperor!"
"…"
Countless experts of the Heavenly Palace looked over and bowed, not daring to be disrespectful in the slightest.
At the God King Stage, one did not simply have a stronger body, a more powerful spirit energy, and better divine abilities. At the same time, one would also be able to grasp laws.
If low-level cultivators carried hostility when mentioning the name or title of a God King Stage expert, they would immediately suffer a backlash.
God King Stage experts could even spy on high-level cultivators from afar and use the power of laws to severely injure or even kill them.
The reason why the "Heavenly Emperor" had awakened was precisely because he sensed that someone had called out to him in the God Realm, and the other person was filled with hostility.
Swoosh!
Space distorted, and a figure covered in darkness with wings on his back suddenly appeared in the divine hall.
"Your Majesty Heavenly Emperor, what are your orders?"
The figure's voice sounded exceptionally ear-piercing, as if iron had struck glass, making one feel very uncomfortable.
"Someone wants to kill me." The Heavenly Emperor said.
Hearing this, the figure was stunned and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please point out the location. I will go personally and eliminate this person."
"No need, he's already here."
The Celestial Thearch looked up at the horizon. "Interesting. How dare you barge into the Heavenly Palace alone."
"What?"
The figure was shocked. "I'll…"
Before he could finish his sentence, the Heavenly Emperor interrupted with a wave of his hand. "Don't worry about that for now. How's the situation in the Inner Realm?"
Over the years, countless idiots had wanted to kill him and rise to the heavens in a single step. Unfortunately, these challengers had all been killed by the Heavenly Emperor. Thus, the Heavenly Emperor did not take it to heart.
"Protector Yan has already brought three lower realm True God Stage experts into the Inner Realm. I believe it won't be long before he returns."
The figure deliberated over his words.
"Is that so?"
The Heavenly Emperor frowned. For some reason, he had an ominous feeling.
Boom!
A deafening bang suddenly sounded in the sky. It pierced through gold and cracked stone!
Like raindrops, countless spirit energy lights fell from the sky.
The Heavenly Palace Array was broken!
Hua!
The figure trembled, indicating the unrest in his heart. He wondered what realm the intruding party was at. After all, it was not easy to destroy the Heavenly Palace Array in such a short period of time.
The Heavenly Emperor's face darkened as he snorted. "You're courting death."
"Your Majesty, I'll go out and take a look."
The figure turned and left.
With his peak upper True God Stage strength, even if he wasn't a match for the other party, he could still probe the other party's strength.
Bang!
In less than half a minute, the figure flew back and hit the wall, leaving a crack on the ground.
The Heavenly Emperor looked down and discovered that not only were the bones in the figure's body shattered, but there was also a visible fist print on his chest. He was already half-dead.
The other party had severely injured an upper True God Stage expert with a single punch?
"…"
"Very good."
The Heavenly Emperor laughed in anger. He took a step forward and instantly arrived outside the divine hall.
In the distance, a young man in snow-white clothes with a dragon crest and phoenix aura was walking over from the void. He held a wine pot in his hand, and he seemed like an immortal that had descended to the mortal world, untainted by the mortal world.
"You're the Heavenly Emperor?"
The young man raised his head and took a sip of spirit wine. He scanned the other party with interest. "Heh, even your appearance is identical."
"…"

Chapter 292: Instant Kill
"Do you know me?"
The Heavenly Emperor frowned slightly. However, on second thought, he realized that he was the master of the Heavenly Palace, so it was not strange for the other party to know him.
"No."
Qin Jue shook his head.
The Heavenly Emperor :"…"
"I'm just here to fight back."
"Fight back?"
The Heavenly Emperor was stunned. He suddenly had a bad feeling.
"That's right. You specially sent people to kill me in the Inner Realm. How can I not return the "kindness" you showed me?"
Qin Jue smiled meaningfully.
"What?"
The Heavenly Emperor's heart skipped a beat, and his expression changed drastically. "You're from the Inner Realm?!"
The Heavenly Emperor could not help but be shocked. After all, due to the restriction of the Heavenly Dao, God King Stage experts were unable to enter the Inner Realm. On the other hand, if the living beings in the Inner Realm wanted to step into the God Realm, they would have to reach the God King Stage.
The Heavenly Emperor's expression gradually became grave, especially since he had just witnessed the Head Protector get severely injured just now. The youth in front of him was very likely a God King Stage expert!
Wait!
The Heavenly Emperor suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"Were you the one who awakened that old thing's remnant soul?"
"That's right."
Qin Jue took a sip of spirit wine and indifferently said, "It seems that you really do know the Heavenly Emperor."
Uh… The Heavenly Emperor knew the Heavenly Emperor. This sounded a little awkward.
"Where's Protector Yan and the others?" The Heavenly Emperor said solemnly.
"Dead."
Qin Jue shrugged his shoulders and said matter-of-factly, "Otherwise, how could I find this place?"
"…"
As the master of the Heavenly Palace, the Heavenly Emperor knew Yan Nantian's strength very well.
An upper True God Stage expert grasped dozens of different attribute spirit energies and was skilled in defense and assault. Protector Yan could even be ranked in the top five among the thirty-six protectors. The fact that Qin Jue could kill him further proved that he had definitely reached the God King Stage.
As for whether Qin Jue was an upper or lower realm God King Stage expert, he still didn't know.
However, since he was from the Inner Realm, it was basically impossible for him to be an upper realm God King Stage expert.
Thinking of this, the Heavenly Emperor heaved a sigh of relief. For a moment, he almost thought that the prophecy was about to come true.
Fortunately, the other party was an idiot. He had come to court death before becoming stronger.
As long as he killed this youth in front of him, he believed that he could change the prophecy!
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, the Heavenly Emperor sneered. "Good, very good. I will let you understand the consequences of killing the Heavenly Palace Protector!"
"…"
Qin Jue was speechless. He didn't expect the Heavenly Emperor to be so shameless as to take the opportunity to bite back. If one didn't know better, they would think that Qin Jue was the one who attacked first.
"Feng and Yun, I'll leave this guy to you."
The Heavenly Emperor said coldly, "It doesn't matter whether you capture him dead or alive."
As soon as he finished speaking, two white-haired elders suddenly appeared on either side of Qin Jue. One of them was dressed in a white robe and had an ethereal aura, like a flowing cloud.
The other person was dressed in a black robe. Strong winds surrounded him as spirit energy rumbled, making others feel fearful.
These two old men had both reached the God King Stage and were also the two lower realm God King Stage experts of the Heavenly Palace who were only inferior to the Heavenly Emperor Stage, Old Feng and Old Yun!
In the distance, the remaining 34 protectors appeared one after another. They floated in the air and surrounded Qin Jue, waiting solemnly.
The commotion here had already alarmed the entire Heavenly Palace, so how could they not notice?
After all, a God King Stage expert barged into the Heavenly Palace alone. This should be the first time an intruder had appeared since the Heavenly Palace was established.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty."
The black-robed elder stroked his beard and said proudly, "There's no need for Brother to do anything. I can handle this alone."
The black-robed old man had just heard that Qin Jue came from the Inner Realm, so he was full of confidence.
If it were any other God King Stage expert, the black-robed old man might have chosen to join forces with the white-robed old man and end the battle as soon as possible.
However, the black-robed old man was completely confident that he could defeat a brat who had just broken through from the Inner Realm.
As everyone knew, the most important thing after advancing to the God King Stage was the power of laws, and it was almost impossible to completely grasp the power of laws without a few years of time.
In other words, Qin Jue most likely hadn't grasped the power of laws yet, so how could he be his match?
Unfortunately, the black-robed old man would be shocked to find out that Qin Jue didn't automatically ascend to the God Realm after advancing to the God King Stage. After all, Qin Jue had relied on brute force to pass through the realm barrier and descended to the Divine Realm.
"Alright, let's end this quickly."
The white-robed old man nodded and retreated to the side. He had the same thoughts as his younger brother and didn't put Qin Jue in his eyes at all.
"I haven't fought in years. I hope you're not too weak."
The black-robed elder moved his body slightly, emitting cracking sounds that were as deafening as thunder.
God King Stage experts were truly terrifying!
However, Qin Jue acted as if he didn't see the black-robed old man. He continued to look straight at the Heavenly Emperor and said, "Are you sure you want them to die?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the air went silent.
"Hmph, what shameless boasting!"
The black-robed old man was unable to restrain his anger. When had he ever been looked down upon like this? He immediately raised his hand and slapped, raising spirit energy that filled the sky and sweeping it towards Qin Jue.
Before this spirit energy could approach Qin Jue, it had already sealed off the space within a radius of 5,000 kilometers, creating a primordial beast that seemed to want to swallow the world.
"Alright, since you're asking for death, I'll fulfill your wish."
Sighing, Qin Jue was rather helpless.
Strictly speaking, Qin Jue didn't have any enmity with the "Heavenly Palace". Originally, he only wanted to target the Heavenly Emperor, but now, he also had to deal with the black-robed old man.
Hu!
The violent wind blew Qin Jue's hair and his clothes fluttered in the wind. He simply looked like a god that had descended to the mortal world, indescribably handsome.
Seeing that the spirit energy was about to land, Qin Jue lightly raised his foot and stomped.
Crack!
As if glass was shattered, the entire space changed from being three-dimensional to being two dimensional before suddenly exploding into a shocking crack.
In an instant, everyone present felt suffocated, including the Heavenly Emperor!
Crack!
With another crisp sound, more and more cracks appeared. The spirit energy that the black-robed elder sent out was directly frozen in place before shattering with a bang!
"…"
Everyone fell silent.
In particular, the black-robed old man could hardly believe his eyes. He wasn't shocked that Qin Jue could easily resolve his attack with… the power of laws?
"What powerful spatial dimension laws."
The white-robed elder could not help but exclaim.
"It's your turn now."
Qin Jue didn't care what others thought and pointed at the air.
Crack!
Space froze again, but this time, Qin Jue was targeting the black-robed elder.
"Naive."
The black-robed elder sneered. He didn't believe that Qin Jue could kill him with a mere spatial law divine ability.
Sensing the spatial restraints in the surroundings, the black-robed old man was fearless. Divine light suddenly erupted from his body, and he actually forcefully tore a hole in the spatial restraints, causing him to be safe and sound.
"Hahaha, nothing much."
The black-robed old man threw his head back and laughed proudly.
Before he could finish his sentence, Qin Jue pointed at the air again.
Crack!
The black-robed elder's happy expression instantly froze on his face before a crack appeared.
"Brother, be careful!"
The white-robed old man realized that something was wrong and hurriedly warned. Unfortunately, it was already too late.
"No…"
The black-robed elder opened his mouth as the cracks on his face quickly spread to his entire body.
Swoosh!
Space shattered, as did the black-robed elder.

Chapter 293: Self-Destruction
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Swoosh!
Like a broken mirror, the entire void suddenly shattered. With a light sound, the black-robed old man slowly fell, but he had already been reduced to a few hundred pieces, his soul destroyed!
There was dead silence!
In the distance, the thirty plus protectors looked at each other in shock, feeling that they were dreaming.
Elder Feng was dead?
That was a God King Stage expert!
"Brother!"
The white-robed elder screamed as he rushed forward and hugged the black-robed elder's corpse fragments. Tears fell like rain.
It had to be known that not only were the two of them brothers, but the cultivation techniques they cultivated also complemented each other. They basically never left each other's side. The white-robed old man never expected that the black-robed old man would be instantly killed by Qin Jue!
"Impossible, impossible!"
The white-robed old man roared towards the sky with boundless anger.
He tried to circulate his spirit energy to heal the black-robed old man. However, it was useless because the black-robed old man's soul had already disappeared.
"Ahhh, I'm going to kill you!"
The white-robed old man suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot as he stared fixedly at Qin Jue, seemingly having lost his mind. "Die!"
Rip!
The air was torn apart, and the white-robed old man instantly rushed towards Qin Jue with a stream of light, looking as if he could do anything.
"Come back!" The Heavenly Emperor shouted hurriedly.
With the strength Qin Jue had displayed just now, the Heavenly Emperor could tell that he was absolutely not someone the white-robed old man could match.
However, at this moment, the white-robed old man didn't care whether he was a match or not. As he rushed towards Qin Jue, the spirit energy in his body had already become incomparably violent. He actually wanted to self-destruct his divine body and die with Qin Jue!
"Run!"
The other thirty plus protectors immediately turned pale from fright when they saw this and hurriedly used their divine abilities to escape.
What did it mean for a God King Stage expert to self-destruct?
Even if the white-robed old man's target wasn't them, the shockwaves that spread out would most likely severely injure them, upper True God Stage experts.
Even half of the Heavenly Palace would be razed to the ground!
This was even under the restriction of various array formations. Otherwise, not to mention the Heavenly Palace, even the entire void would probably collapse!
Apart from Qin Jue, the Heavenly Emperor was the only one who still remained calm. However, he also raised a spirit energy barrier to resist the explosion.
No one could underestimate the self-destruction of a God King Stage expert, especially when this God King Stage expert was determined to die.
However, the Heavenly Emperor did not expect that the white-robed old man would be willing to self-destruct his divine body in order to avenge his younger brother.
"You will die with us!"
The white-robed old man seemed to have gone crazy. He no longer had the sage-like, gentle, and refined appearance from before. The spirit energy in his body had finally expanded to the limit and spurted out from every pore on his body, drawing in the spirit qi of the heavens and the earth and sweeping out in all directions.
At the same time, the white-robed old man's divine body exploded like a star, turning into countless specks of light that enveloped Qin Jue!
Boom!
The world changed color as a terrifying energy ripple instantly submerged Qin Jue!
In an instant, the sky turned pitch-black, as if the void was hanging upside down!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The entire Heavenly Palace shook. Hundreds of array formations were activated continuously, but they were unable to withstand this force. They shattered one after another, and all the buildings directly evaporated, including the entire Primordial Chaos Divine Hall.
In hundreds of thousands of years, this should be the first time the interior of the Heavenly Palace had suffered such a terrifying destruction.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Emperor had activated a hidden array formation in time and forcefully condensed space. This had greatly reduced the range of the explosion. Otherwise, the losses would have been even worse.
Even so, a large number of higher-ups of the Heavenly Palace were still engulfed by the explosion and died without a grave.
"What's going on? What a terrifying destructive force. Could it be that God King Stage experts are fighting?"
A Heavenly Palace expert who was lucky enough to escape looked in the direction of the Primordial Chaos Divine Hall and said in shock.
However, there was no longer any Primordial Chaos Divine Hall there, only charred wasteland.
"That was terrifying. Thank God I ran fast."
Another person heaved a sigh of relief and suggested, "I think we should flee further."
"Good point."
"Agreed!"
Everyone chimed in and turned to leave without hesitation. They did not even dare to use their spirit senses to probe what was going on.
This sort of might was simply not something they could participate in.
…
Crack!
The spirit energy screen shattered as the Heavenly Emperor walked out. His hands were behind his back, and the third eye between his brows had already opened. It was pure black and the pupil could not be distinguished. It was the exact opposite of the Heavenly Emperor's remnant soul in the Divine Realm.
Even the Heavenly Emperor did not dare to take the self-destruction of a God King Stage expert head-on. Although he would not die, he would definitely be injured. If it weren't for the fact that the target was not him, the Heavenly Emperor would definitely not have been so relaxed.
The place Qin Jue was previously at was now covered in smoke and dust that filled the sky. A large area of space had collapsed, and below it was a bottomless pit that was 10,000 meters in diameter. It almost pierced through the entire Heavenly Palace. Within the pit, there no longer seemed to be any signs of life.
"Is he dead?"
The Heavenly Emperor's brows relaxed.
From now on, his fate would completely change!
As for the death of the two elders, the Heavenly Emperor did not care at all. They were just two insignificant pawns.
On the contrary, the Heavenly Emperor had to thank "Old Master Yun" for helping him resolve his greatest problem.
In addition, the reason why the Heavenly Emperor had activated the hidden array formation to reduce the range of the explosion was to let Qin Jue, who was at the center of the explosion, suffer more injuries. Now it seemed that this method was very successful.
"Cough cough!"
Just as the Heavenly Emperor was about to throw his head back and laugh, a cough suddenly sounded from the dust in front of him, and the smile on the Heavenly Emperor's face froze.
"Not dead?"
The Heavenly Emperor was stunned.
After a while, the smoke and dust dissipated, and the spatial rift gradually closed. Qin Jue's figure also appeared.
His clothes were still as white as snow, and there were no changes. Even the wine pot in his hand was unscathed.
"Is it over?" Qin Jue took a sip of spirit wine and said casually.
The Heavenly Emperor :"…"
What kind of monster was this guy?
"Hmm?"
Qin Jue raised his eyebrows and grabbed at the air. A ball of light immediately fell into his hand.
"Let go of me!"
The ball of light emitted a sharp cry filled with resentment.
On careful look, it was the white-robed old man who had just self-destructed.
However, at this moment, the white-robed old man's divine body had been destroyed, leaving only a wisp of his remnant soul. If it weren't for the fact that Qin Jue's spirit sense had been constantly observing his surroundings after entering the Heavenly Palace, it would have been possible for the white-robed old man to escape.
"Let go of me!"
The white-robed elder struggled crazily. His remnant soul was faintly discernible, as if it would dissipate at any moment.
What surprised Qin Jue was that this wisp of remnant soul actually contained quite a strong spirit energy, equivalent to a Great Void Stage expert.
"Didn't you say that we were all going to die together?" Qin Jue said with interest.
"…"
The white-robed elder opened his mouth but was speechless.
He did want Qin Jue to die with the two of them, but at the last moment, he hesitated and gave himself a chance to survive.
He originally thought that even if he couldn't kill Qin Jue, he could still severely injure him. However, he didn't expect Qin Jue to be unscathed!
"But don't worry, I've always liked to help others. I'll send you to accompany your younger brother now." Qin Jue grinned and said coldly.
"Wait…"
The white-robed old man was shocked and was about to beg for mercy when he was directly crushed by Qin Jue and completely disappeared from this world.

Chapter 294: God Vanquishing Formation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Pfft.
The white-robed elder's remnant soul trembled slightly and turned into energy specks that dissipated.
At this point, the two God King Stage experts of the Heavenly Palace, who were only inferior to the Heavenly Emperor, had completely died and their souls were destroyed.
In the distance, the figures of the thirty-four protectors appeared again. Seeing this scene, they looked at each other. Then, more than half of the protectors directly used their divine abilities to escape without looking back.
What a joke. Since even Elder Yun's self-destruction was useless, it had proved that the person who had come was at least an upper realm God King Stage expert. They weren't planning on staying to wait for their deaths.
Although the Heavenly Emperor was also an upper realm God King Stage expert, who could guarantee that Qin Jue wouldn't deal with them first to prevent being ambushed?
As for the protectors who did not escape, they were basically the Heavenly Emperor's trusted aides and were absolutely confident in him.
Even so, they could not help but retreat thousands of kilometers away and use their spirit sense to observe, afraid that they would be affected.
"Good, very good."
The Heavenly Emperor laughed in anger, looking like he wanted nothing more than to eat Qin Jue alive.
Regarding this, Qin Jue was rather speechless. Can't you say something else?
"Hmph, in that case, I can only kill you with my own hands and change the prophecy and fate!" The Heavenly Emperor gritted his teeth.
The Heavenly Emperor wanted to defy his fate!
What prophecy? What fate? They were all fake!
Unfortunately, the Heavenly Emperor had forgotten one thing. If he hadn't been afraid of the prophecy and sent experts to kill all living beings related to the prophecy, how could Qin Jue have forcefully broken through the realm barrier and killed his way to the Heavenly Palace?
In the end, he only had himself to blame.
"Is that so…"
Hearing this, Qin Jue smiled and said, "Actually, I don't have any deep enmity with you. It's just that you insist on courting death."
After a pause, he added, "Since I'm already here, I'll make the prophecy come true."
"In the meantime, let's see what you're hiding."
Without a doubt, there were definitely many secrets between the two Heavenly Emperors, and it was very likely related to the missing memories of the other Heavenly Emperor's remnant soul.
Now, the mystery was right in front of Qin Jue. As long as he defeated this "Heavenly Emperor", everything would be revealed.
"Hehe, defeat me?"
The Heavenly Emperor placed his hands behind his back and stood proudly. "I'm indeed very surprised that you survived Elder Yun's self-destruction, but you're still far from being able to kill me."
"Also, I forgot to tell you that in this Heavenly Palace, I am the Heavenly Dao and the supreme ruler!"
Boom!
Thunder rumbled and the void shook.
The huge Heavenly Palace suddenly lit up with beams of light that soared into the sky!
Runes flowed within the light, and auspicious signs appeared one after another. All types of abnormal phenomena appeared one after another, and it was as if all things in the universe were circulating in the Heavenly Palace that was filled with infinite knowledge!
In the next moment, light intertwined and gathered, condensing into an array formation that covered the entire Heavenly Palace. Everywhere one looked, there were phenomena and runes that emitted dense killing intent!
"Heavens, it's the God Vanquishing Formation!"
A protector could not help but exclaim.
The God Vanquishing Formation was one of the three ultimate formations of the God Realm. It had to be built by a proficient grandmaster with all kinds of heavenly treasures as the foundation. Even then, it could still only be built after tens of thousands of years of nurturing.
Once it was built, even the lowest level God Vanquishing Formation could easily kill a True God Stage expert.
The high-level God Vanquishing Formation was even more impressive. Even a high-level God King Stage expert would find it difficult to deal with.
The God Vanquishing Formation in front of Qin Jue had covered the entire Heavenly Palace and there was almost no end to it. Clearly, it had already reached the high level.
Even these trusted protectors did not expect the Heavenly Emperor to silently set up the God Vanquishing Formation in the Heavenly Palace!
One had to know that in the entire God Realm, there were less than five array formation grandmasters who could set up a high-level God Vanquishing Formation. How did the Heavenly Emperor do it?
"Hahaha, the Heavenly Emperor will definitely win this time!" Another protector laughed.
The high-level God Vanquishing Formation was already capable of restricting high-level God King Stage experts. However, it had become even more powerful now that the Heavenly Emperor was personally operating it. No matter how strong Qin Jue was, how could he resist the Heavenly Emperor and the God Vanquishing Formation at the same time?
Thinking of this, the protectors retreated again. After all, the power of the God Vanquishing Formation was extremely shocking. If they didn't hide far away, they would probably be accidentally injured.
…
In the dazzling light, the Heavenly Emperor slowly rose into the sky. His figure was slightly distorted and unpredictable. He had actually directly fused with the formation.
"Everyone thinks that I only know how to fight, but they don't know that my attainments in array formations have long surpassed the Divine Realm."
The Heavenly Emperor said faintly, "I specially prepared this array formation for you."
Although he didn't know how Qin Jue had stepped into the upper realm God King Stage, now was not the time for him to think about this.
"Is this your trump card?"
Qin Jue was slightly disappointed.
Through his fight with the two elders, Qin Jue had already realized that the God King Stage experts were not as powerful as he imagined. Although the Heavenly Emperor was an upper realm God King Stage expert, he still wasn't Qin Jue's match.
It was just like a human would view an ant the same way he views a mouse. In the end, they would all be trampled to death.
"Don't think that you're really invincible just because you've reached the upper realm God King Stage."
Seeing Qin Jue's disdainful expression, the Heavenly Emperor said angrily, "You will soon understand how ignorant you are!"
Before he could finish his sentence, the God Vanquishing Formation suddenly became even more dazzling. At the same time, tens of thousands of pillars of light rose, turned into blades in midair, and stabbed towards Qin Jue!
These sword blades quickly connected together, forming a huge dragon that tore through the sky.
Facing the huge sword dragon, Qin Jue curled his lips and punched without dodging.
Boom!
Strong winds swept past, and the sword dragon instantly collapsed and shattered.
However, the battle had just begun. Before the sword dragon dissipated, the space around Qin Jue had already been frozen. Immediately after, thousands of strange beasts appeared out of thin air, opening their bloody mouths to swallow Qin Jue.
Not only that, but more and more attacks appeared from all directions, not giving Qin Jue any chance to breathe.
Seeing this, Qin Jue frowned slightly and raised his palm slightly. A palm-sized black stone immediately flew out.
The black stone grew in the wind. In a few breaths of time, it had already turned into a black mountain that covered the sky. It welcomed the many attacks and fell heavily!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
In an instant, regardless of whether it was the strange beasts or the other attacks, they all exploded inch by inch. Then, the black mountain continued to smash towards the Heavenly Emperor, unstoppable!
"The World Mountain?"
The moment he saw the black mountain peak, the Heavenly Emperor's expression changed drastically. He had originally suspected Qin Jue's identity. After all, how could a fellow who had just ascended from the Inner Realm reach the God King Stage?
But now, the Heavenly Emperor no longer had any doubts.
Boom!
At the moment of life and death, the Heavenly Emperor did not have the time to think. He hurriedly used the God Vanquishing Formation to protect himself. With a loud bang, the Heavenly Emperor was sent flying. Only by using the formation to block the impact did he barely resolve the attack of the black mountain.
However, a hole was forcefully smashed open in the God Vanquishing Formation, and it almost collapsed uncontrollably.
"You can actually control the World Mountain!" The Heavenly Emperor stabilized his body and said in disbelief.
"World Mountain? Is this thing called World Mountain?"
Qin Jue was stunned.
But then again, this thing was really durable. It could even penetrate the attack of a God King Stage expert.
"Damn it, I clearly placed it in an extremely remote low-level dimension!"
The Heavenly Emperor looked flustered and exasperated. Others might not know, but he knew very well that he had personally thrown the World Mountain out.
Most importantly, the World Mountain was related to the other half of the prophecy!

Chapter 295: The Despairing Heavenly Emperor
The Heavenly Emperor had only revealed half of the prophecy regarding the destruction of the Heavenly Palace to the outside world.
Whether it was the thirty-six protectors or the higher-ups of the Heavenly Palace, they all only knew that if someone awakened the remnant soul in the ruins, the Heavenly Palace would face its end.
However,they did not know that the World Mountain was the key to destroying the Heavenly Palace.
This was also why the Heavenly Emperor remained calm and collected the entire time. As long as he did not see the World Mountain, he would not be afraid.
But now, everything was developing as predicted. The Heavenly Emperor finally felt a trace of fear!
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
The Heavenly Emperor roared angrily. "I clearly placed it in an extremely remote low-level dimension in the Inner Realm. Why do you have it?!"
The Heavenly Emperor seemed to have gone crazy, his eyes almost splitting open. He looked as if he wanted to skin Qin Jue alive.
"Oh, did you put this thing in the Spirit Central World?"
Qin Jue was stunned for a moment before smiling. "Unfortunately, I live in the Spirit Central World."
"…"
The anger suddenly stopped, and the Heavenly Emperor was instantly stunned on the spot.
He tried his best to recall and finally recalled that he had indeed abandoned the World Mountain in a place called the Spirit Central World. He had even deliberately condensed a projection inside to allow it to rule the Spirit Central World.
In fact, the Heavenly Emperor had no interest in the Spirit Central World at all. Back then, he was just in a hurry to leave the Inner Realm.
As for why he had left the World Mountain there, the reason was very simple. The World Mountain was too large and too heavy for him to control. To him, it was basically no different from trash.
Most importantly, the World Mountain could not leave the Inner Realm, so it was safer for him to leave it in a remote low-level dimension.
However, the Heavenly Emperor never expected that not only had the World Mountain been found, but it had even been brought out of the Inner Realm!
How did the other party do it?
The Heavenly Emperor could not understand.
He had once repeatedly confirmed that the World Mountain was a chaotic sacred artifact of the Inner Realm. It was indestructible and was restricted by the rules of the Heavenly Dao. It could not leave the Inner Realm.
In addition, at that time, the Heavenly Emperor had yet to establish the "Heavenly Palace" in the Outer Realm, so he naturally did not have the so-called prophecy and did not understand the importance of the World Mountain.
After he learned of the prophecy, he had already stepped into the God King Stage and was no longer able to return to the Inner Realm. In addition, the World Mountain had been abandoned in a remote low-level dimension, so the Heavenly Emperor did not pay too much attention to it. He deliberately concealed the other half of the prophecy in order to hide the existence of the World Mountain.
Thinking of this, the Heavenly Emperor wanted to cry but had no tears to shed.
If he had known earlier, he would have deliberately hidden the World Mountain!
Although everything was developing according to the prophecy, it was still absolutely impossible for the Heavenly Emperor to lower his head!
"I don't care how you brought the World Mountain out of the Inner Realm, I will not admit defeat no matter what!"
Taking a deep breath, the Heavenly Emperor fused with the God Vanquishing Formation again. His aura rose steadily without end, and he even caused many void phenomena to gather over.
Even the experts outside the Heavenly Palace could faintly sense the spirit energy fluctuations and could not help but look over with shocked expressions.
"No one can kill me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the third eye between the Heavenly Emperor's brows suddenly emitted a pitch-black divine light that was horrifying.
Qin Jue :"…"
Qin Jue felt wronged. After all, he only showed up here because the Heavenly Emperor wanted to kill him in the first place.
But why did it sound like the Heavenly Emperor was the victim here?
Qin Jue was dumbfounded.
"However, this thing is quite useful."
Waving his hand and raising the World Mountain, Qin Jue said meaningfully, "By the way, your original appearance should be different, right?"
The Heavenly Emperor's expression changed slightly as he snorted. "That's right."
Without waiting for Qin Jue to continue asking, lines of light suddenly split open on the Heavenly Emperor's handsome face, slowly falling off like a molted shell.
After a long while, a "Heavenly Emperor" with a completely different appearance appeared in front of Qin Jue, almost identical to the birdman he saw in the cave.
The only difference was that the Heavenly Emperor had four wings on his back!
"So comfortable."
The Heavenly Emperor groaned and smiled. "I've long been tired of using that old thing's body to show others. This is my true appearance!"
Boom!
After tearing off his disguise, the Heavenly Emperor no longer held back. His spirit energy was completely released and continued to spread out, resonating with the God Vanquishing Formation. The hole that was created by the World Mountain quickly healed until it disappeared.
At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor was in his strongest state!
Seeing this, Qin Jue couldn't be bothered to waste his breath. With a wave of his hand, the World Mountain immediately smashed towards the Heavenly Emperor with incomparable destructive power. Before it could approach, the wind pressure had already blown the Heavenly Emperor's hair and beard apart, and his clothes fluttered in the wind.
"Good timing!"
The Heavenly Emperor was fearless. His four wings flapped lightly, raising a violent wind that filled the sky. Immediately after, he activated the God Vanquishing Formation and turned it into a huge hand that held up the World Mountain!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Accompanied by a series of loud bangs, several of the array foundations of the God Vanquishing Formation exploded in succession. Surprisingly, it still did not collapse!
"Hmm?"
Qin Jue raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised.
Since one attack wasn't enough, he would just attack again.
Therefore, the World Mountain fell heavily again!
Boom!
This time, the God Vanquishing Formation finally could not withstand the force and exploded inch by inch, collapsing thousands of kilometers.
Just as Qin Jue was about to attack, the Heavenly Emperor suddenly smiled. Then his right eye flickered with golden light, and an invisible force immediately headed straight for Qin Jue!
"What?"
Sensing that something was wrong, Qin Jue flicked his finger and created a spirit energy barrier.
Pu.
The strange thing was that the invisible force directly passed through the spirit energy barrier and entered Qin Jue's body.
In the next moment, a terrifying destructive force erupted from Qin Jue's body, instantly affecting his internal organs!
"Ah…"
Qin Jue's movements froze. The World Mountain that was about to land suddenly froze in midair.
"This is…"
Qin Jue's expression seemed uncertain.
"Hahaha, I succeeded!"
Without any time to think, the Heavenly Emperor immediately took the initiative to attack without hesitation. He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to severely injure Qin Jue!
Swoosh!
In an instant, countless spirit energy beams landed on Qin Jue, creating layers of energy ripples!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In a short moment, the Heavenly Emperor had launched countless attacks, completely disregarding the consumption of spirit energy. All kinds of divine abilities, magic treasures, and the power of laws "splashed" on Qin Jue as if they did not cost him anything. Clearly, he didn't plan to give Qin Jue any chance to catch his breath.
In the end, the Heavenly Emperor simply detonated the God Vanquishing Formation on Qin Jue. He didn't care whether Qin Jue was dead or alive.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Die!"
The Heavenly Emperor's expression was sinister as he revealed a crazy smile.
"Enough."
Right at this moment, five well-defined fingers suddenly stretched out from the explosion, forcefully resisting all the attacks. Under the Heavenly Emperor's frightened gaze, the fingers grabbed the Heavenly Emperor's neck.
"This ends here."
The five fingers exerted strength slightly, and the Heavenly Emperor felt his entire body become weak. His legs went weak, and he almost knelt on the ground.
As for the owner of the finger, besides Qin Jue, who else could it be?
Qin Jue walked out of the explosion expressionlessly, his white clothes fluttering, and his long hair dancing. There was no trace of injury at all.
"You…"
The Heavenly Emperor gaped in disbelief. Qin Jue had clearly been hit by his Eye of Destruction, so how could he be unscathed?
For the first time, the Heavenly Emperor felt dense despair.

Chapter 296: The Truth
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"What happened?"
"I don't know, but I think it's from the Heavenly Palace."
"Heavenly Palace? Could it be that someone is fighting the Heavenly Emperor?"
"Hiss!"
"…"
In the vast void, the experts from all sides had grave expressions as they discussed animatedly, full of doubts about the energy ripples that spread out.
The battle between Qin Jue and the Heavenly Emperor had long alarmed the other nearby factions, attracting countless experts to watch and tremble.
It couldn't be helped. The shockwaves from the battle between the two of them were too terrifying. A few unlucky tenth realm Great Void Stage experts were seriously injured and almost died after being brushed by the energy flow.
And this was even when these experts were so far away. If even they were injured, then just terrifying was the center?
It was likely that even an ordinary True God Stage expert would not be able to withstand the impact in the center.
Because these forces were basically all vassals of the Heavenly Palace, they were at a loss as to whether to advance or retreat.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "It's the Heavenly Palace protectors!"
Hearing this, everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw more than ten figures with deep auras but slightly panicked figures flying over from afar. They were the Heavenly Palace protectors who had chosen to flee.
Behind them were a large number of members of the Heavenly Palace, and there was even no lack of True God Stage experts. Such a lineup could be considered luxurious even in the God Realm.
However, no matter how one looked at it, they looked somewhat miserable.
Seeing this, an upper True God Stage expert hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "Protectors, what's wrong?"
This person was the strongest person among the three vassal forces of the Heavenly Palace. His prestige was extremely high, and even the Heavenly Palace's protectors had to be polite to him. It was most suitable for him to ask.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately held their breaths and waited for an answer.
"His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor is fighting an upper realm God King Stage expert."
The Heavenly Palace Protector said in a deep voice.
"What? an upper realm God King Stage?"
Everyone's expressions changed drastically.
Although there was only a difference of one level between an upper realm True God Stage and an upper realm God King Stage, the distance between the two was not inferior to heaven and earth.
No wonder so many experts of the Heavenly Palace had escaped. Once they were swept into the battle of an upper realm God King Stage expert, even an upper realm True God Stage expert would die if they were careless.
"Can His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor win?"
The upper realm True God Stage expert couldn't help but ask.
"How should I know?"
The Heavenly Palace protector shook his head and said meaningfully, "Perhaps the prophecy will really come true…"
"…"
…
At the same time, no buildings could be seen in the middle of the vast Heavenly Palace. There were potholes and cracks everywhere, and it was filled with desolation. The shattered space had yet to completely heal, and it was almost impossible to find a place that was unaffected.
As his field of vision narrowed, Qin Jue released his fingers, and the Heavenly Emperor immediately collapsed. The four wings on his back had been broken at some point, and blood flowed everywhere. His aura was also dispirited and he no longer had the noble appearance from before.
"Impossible… Impossible…"
The Heavenly Emperor muttered to himself, his eyes revealing dense despair.
He never expected that his Eye of Destruction would not cause any harm to Qin Jue.
One had to know that the Eye of Destruction could ignore any defense and directly attack the enemy's internal organs. Even a divine body would find it difficult to withstand it.
Unless… the other party had already cultivated his body to the point where his body was perfect and flawless.
Although he was very unwilling to believe it, it now seemed that Qin Jue had very likely reached or even surpassed this level.
"I still can't change my fate."
Taking a deep breath, the Heavenly Emperor finally accepted the truth and smiled bitterly. "Kill me. The Heavenly Emperor True Essence is yours."
"Heavenly Emperor True Essence? What is that?"
Qin Jue frowned.
"Aren't you here for the Heavenly Emperor True Essence?"
The Heavenly Emperor was stunned and realized that something was wrong.
"Of course not."
Qin Jue shrugged his shoulders and said, "I just want to resolve the trouble and stop you from sending more people to the Inner Realm to kill me."
The Heavenly Emperor :"…"
Originally, he thought that Qin Jue was just saying it casually. He didn't expect it to be true!
"Impossible! Didn't that old thing tell you?" The Heavenly Emperor said indignantly.
He was unwilling to admit that the only reason Qin Jue was here was because he was courting death.
"You mean the remnant soul of the Heavenly Emperor? He lost his memories." Qin Jue answered truthfully.
The Heavenly Emperor :"…"
Lost his memories?
The Heavenly Emperor couldn't believe it.
How could this be?!
He started wondering if he was responsible for making the prophecy come true.
Just as the Heavenly Emperor was about to cry, Qin Jue directly placed his hand on his head and began to search his soul.
At this moment, not only was the spirit energy in the Heavenly Emperor's body sealed, but even his bones had been shattered. He could only watch helplessly as Qin Jue used the soul searching technique without any ability to resist.
"You!"
The Heavenly Emperor was shocked and was about to speak when a tearing pain came from his soul. Then, his head tilted and he fainted.
Thump.
After a long while, Qin Jue threw away the Heavenly Emperor and suddenly understood. All the mysteries were finally solved.
It turned out that this Outer Realm Heavenly Emperor was actually that Inner Realm Heavenly Emperor's disciple!
No, his real name was Feng Xi.
He started calling himself the Heavenly Emperor because he wanted to replace his master.
This was also why the divine ability Feng Xi grasped was extremely similar to the Heavenly Emperor's, because the two of them were master and disciple.
What was worth mentioning was that the name Feng Xi was also given by the original Heavenly Emperor. It was no exaggeration to say that the Heavenly Emperor treated Feng Xi like his own child and even wanted to nurture him to be the successor of the Heavenly Palace.
However, things did not go according to plan. Living under the shadow of the Heavenly Emperor, Feng Xi's personality had unknowingly become distorted. From his initial worship and jealousy of his master, he ended up wanting to replace his master!
Therefore, while the Heavenly Emperor was breaking through to the God King Stage, Feng Xi actually did not hesitate to collude with several Heavenly Palace experts to launch a sneak attack!
Originally, with the Heavenly Emperor's cultivation, even if he was injured, he could still easily kill Feng Xi and the others. However, at the last moment, the Heavenly Emperor's heart softened, and he was killed by Feng Xi and his True Essence was taken away.
The so-called True Essence was the remnant spirit energy left behind when the Heavenly Emperor died. Feng Xi also relied on this True Essence to be reborn and advance to the God King Stage.
Originally, Feng Xi wanted to completely destroy the Heavenly Palace, but the Heavenly Emperor's remnant soul used its last bit of strength to make the Heavenly Palace escape into the void and disappear. Helpless, Feng Xi could only give up.
In order to replace the Heavenly Emperor, Feng Xi disguised himself as the Heavenly Emperor and created a new Heavenly Palace in the God Realm. He was invincible.
It was also at this moment that a mysterious expert arrived. After leaving behind a prophecy of the destruction of the Heavenly Palace, he left gracefully.
How could Feng Xi, who had a guilty conscience, not be afraid? Therefore, he had been secretly paying attention to the Inner Realm.
The appearance of the "Divine Realm" immediately made Feng Xi anxious. However, after stepping into the God King Stage, he could no longer enter the Inner Realm to destroy the Divine Realm. He also couldn't send someone to destroy it as a True God Stage expert would also not be able to destroy the Divine Realm. In the end, he could only target the person who had awakened the remnant soul.
As for why Feng Xi was able to immediately find out that someone had awakened the Heavenly Emperor's remnant soul, it was naturally because the Heavenly Emperor True Essence in his body allowed him to feel it.
In short, this was the story of a wicked and power-thirsty disciple who killed his master.
After learning all this, Qin Jue's expression was slightly complicated.. He didn't expect the Heavenly Emperor's experience to be so tragic. He wondered if he should help the Heavenly Emperor recover this lost memory?

Chapter 297: Master And Disciple Meet
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Argh!"
Feng Xi groggily woke up and felt a splitting headache. He was about to stand up when he realized that something was pressing on his body, making him unable to move. His butt was especially numb and he had almost lost all sensations there.
Fortunately, he could still see his surroundings clearly. He quickly realized that the thing pressing down on him was the World Mountain, and he was lying on a white dragon.
In front of him, Qin Jue was standing on the White Dragon's head, his hands behind his back, his long hair fluttering like an immortal.
"Where are you taking me?" Enduring the intense pain, Feng Xi gritted his teeth and asked.
"Inner Realm." Qin Jue took a sip of spirit wine and answered without looking back.
Originally, Qin Jue planned to directly kill Feng Xi after searching his soul. However, after thinking about it, he decided to bring him to the Inner Realm Divine Realm and let the Heavenly Emperor's remnant soul deal with him. He believed that this time, the Heavenly Emperor wouldn't be soft-hearted.
As for the Heavenly Palace, it had already been shattered into pieces by Qin Jue's slap, leaving nothing behind.
He was not interested in the God Realm, so he naturally would not stay for long.
"What?"
Feng Xi was shocked and instantly realized that something was wrong. "You're taking me to see that old thing?"
"Obviously?"
Qin Jue said with interest, "You're his disciple, after all."
"Bullshit! I'm not his disciple!"
Feng Xi shouted angrily, "Let go of me!"
Seeing that Qin Jue was ignoring him, Feng Xi struggled with all his might. His three eyes immediately emitted a dazzling light as he attempted to move the World Mountain.
However, in the next moment, Feng Xi grunted as if he had suffered a heavy blow. Blood flowed from his three eyes, and the third eye between his brows closed, losing its luster.
"You destroyed my ocular technique!"
Feng Xi was filled with grief and indignation as he shouted hysterically, "Kill me if you have the guts!"
"…"
Qin Jue couldn't be bothered to continue talking nonsense with Feng Xi. He directly used his spirit energy to seal Feng Xi's mouth and make him quieten down.
Not long after, Long Zhui passed through the spatial passageway and arrived at the place where the connection was.
Seeing this, Feng Xi hurriedly widened his eyes. He wanted to see how Qin Jue would enter the Inner Realm!
As everyone knew, after advancing to the God King Stage, one would no longer be able to descend to a dimension like the Inner Realm. No matter how strong Qin Jue was, he still couldn't go through the realm barrier.
Thinking like this, Feng Xi saw an unforgettable scene.
Qin Jue slowly raised his arm and punched at the void in front of him.
Crack!
With a loud bang, the realm barrier shattered like glass and continued to spread out. Qin Jue had really created a hole between the two worlds!
Feng Xi: "???"
Was I dreaming?
What kind of monster was this guy?
Before Feng Xi could react, the white dragon had already passed through the crack.
Feng Xi had never expected that he would one day return to the Inner Realm.
As soon as he entered the Inner Realm, an intense repulsive force came from all directions. How could Feng Xi, who was already severely injured, withstand this force? He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and almost fainted.
Just as Feng Xi thought that he was dead for sure, a layer of golden light suddenly enveloped his body. Then, the surrounding repulsive force instantly disappeared, as if it had never existed.
"…"
Feng Xi could no longer use words to describe the shock in his heart. Qin Jue could even resolve the repulsive force of the Heavenly Dao. Just what realm was Qin Jue at?
Could there be a higher realm than the God King Stage?
Feng Xi originally thought that he had already stepped into the peak and no longer had to worry about failure. Now, he realized how insignificant he was.
He was extremely regretful now. Why did he have to listen to the prophecy and provoke this godlike existence?
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The entire void shook as if it was resisting Qin Jue. Several visible pillars of light fell one after another, illuminating an area of 50,000 kilometers as they shot towards Qin Jue.
"Silence!"
Frowning, Qin Jue waved his hand impatiently.
Bang!
Before the pillar of light could approach Qin Jue, it was scattered by the vast golden light. Even the void was lit up in a dazzling golden light.
Then, the void did indeed become silent.
"…"
Witnessing this scene, Feng Xi fell silent. Had even the Heavenly Dao rules surrendered?
On the other hand, Qin Jue was also somewhat surprised. He looked at his hands with a complicated expression and remembered the question he had thought about countless times. Just how strong was he?
"Forget it, forget it. I can't figure it out anyway."
Taking a sip of spirit wine, Qin Jue raised his hand and opened a spatial gate that led straight to the Divine Realm. Then, riding on Long Zhui, he arrived at the Divine Realm.
Because the Divine Realm only opened once every 300 years and was currently in a closed state, the entire continent was enveloped by a thick fog.
Don't underestimate this layer of fog. This was the Heavenly Palace's Great Protective Formation. It could absorb spirit qi on its own to replenish energy. Even an upper realm True God Stage expert would find it difficult to break through.
Furthermore, once this formation was attacked, the whole Divine Realm would quickly escape into the void and disappear.
However, to Qin Jue, the so-called palace protective formation was useless. Not to mention Qin Jue, even a lower realm God King Stage expert could easily destroy it if they entered the Inner Realm.
After tearing open the fog, Qin Jue let Long Zhui stay outside while he entered the Divine Realm with Feng Xi.
"No…"
Feng Xi opened his mouth and pleaded. He no longer looked insufferably arrogant.
"Oh? I didn't expect you to be so afraid of your master."
Qin Jue said with interest, "Don't worry, he's only a remnant soul now."
As he spoke, Qin Jue crossed thousands of kilometers and threw Feng Xi on the Divine Seal Altar.
Thump.
"No!"
Feng Xi struggled to stand up, but unfortunately, he was firmly pressed down by the World Mountain. Apart from his eyes, he could not move any part of his body. He looked a little pitiful.
Sensing the commotion, the Divine Seal Altar shook slightly and lit up. Then, an illusory figure gradually condensed, revealing a blank expression.
It was the Heavenly Emperor who had been awakened by Qin Jue.
Because after being awakened by Qin Jue, the Heavenly Emperor had been trying to repair his soul, so he didn't fall asleep again and his strength had clearly increased greatly.
"Heavenly Emperor, I'm here again."
Qin Jue smiled.
"It's you!"
The Heavenly Emperor was slightly stunned. Qin Jue had used a soul searching technique on him not long ago, so how could he forget?
"You're here to see me?"
The Heavenly Emperor was as happy as a child.
"…"
Qin Jue opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
How could Qin Jue not sigh with emotion when the once peerless Heavenly Emperor in the Invincible World had become like this?
One had to know that in Feng Xi's memories, the Heavenly Emperor was a wise and mighty peerless genius who had dominated an era. Now, he was like a lonely old man who would become happy just because someone had come to visit him.
All of this only happened because he had been betrayed by his disciple, who he regarded as his own.
Qin Jue was rather hesitant. Should he really let the Heavenly Emperor recover his memories and experience the pain from before?
After thinking for a moment, Qin Jue finally made a decision. "That's right. Since I'm already here, I'll help you recover your memories."
"Recover my memories?"
The Heavenly Emperor's eyes lit up as he asked impatiently, "Are you sure?"
"Yes!"

Chapter 298: The Revival of the Heavenly Emperor
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After a moment of thought, Qin Jue finally decided to help the Heavenly Emperor recover his memories.
The reason was very simple. Even though the Heavenly Emperor only had a wisp of his remnant soul left, he was working hard to repair it. No one could guarantee that he wouldn't suddenly awaken the missing memories and return to his peak in the future.
At that time, the Heavenly Emperor would probably wish for nothing more than to crush Feng Xi's bones and send him to the eighteenth level of hell.
Rather than that, it was better to help the Heavenly Emperor recover his memories now and then hand Feng Xi to him to deal with.
"Hahaha, that's great!"
The Heavenly Emperor threw his head back and laughed hysterically.
During this time, he had almost used all kinds of methods to repair his soul, but the result was useless. Just as his head was aching, Qin Jue suddenly came over to help him recover his memories. It could be imagined how happy the Heavenly Emperor was.
As one of the people who had been "destroyed" by Qin Jue, the Heavenly Emperor knew very well how powerful Qin Jue was. He even suspected that Qin Jue was even more powerful than him when he was alive, so he didn't doubt Qin Jue's words at all.
"By the way, who is he?"
Only at this moment did the Heavenly Emperor notice Feng Xi, who was being suppressed by the World Mountain.
Seeing the Heavenly Emperor look over, Feng Xi was instantly frightened until his face turned pale. If not for the fact that he was being suppressed by the World Mountain, he would have long found a hole to crawl into.
It was hard to imagine that someone who dared to commit murder and betrayal would be so afraid of the Heavenly Emperor.
Qin Jue clearly remembered the scene he saw when he searched his soul. Perhaps it was because Feng Xi felt ashamed to see the Heavenly Emperor?
"Don't you find him familiar?"
Qin Jue smiled.
"Familiar? Did we know each other before?"
The Heavenly Emperor's figure flashed as he arrived in front of Feng Xi and observed carefully. "Now that you mention it, it does seem like I've seen him somewhere before. However…"
Before he could finish his sentence, the Heavenly Emperor suddenly seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, revealing a painful expression.
The Heavenly Emperor was already used to such situations. Every time he recalled some familiar scenes, he would feel a splitting headache.
Until now, he had yet to remember what the important thing that he needed to do was.
Hearing this, Feng Xi heaved a sigh of relief. The Heavenly Emperor had indeed forgotten about him.
But on second thought, didn't this indirectly prove that Qin Jue really didn't know anything before?
If he hadn't listened to the prophecy and sent people to kill Qin Jue, how could he have been attacked and captured here?
In an instant, Feng Xi wanted to cry but had no tears to shed.
He suddenly blamed that expert who told him the prophecy. He wanted to find him and get his revenge!
Unfortunately, Feng Xi no longer had the chance to start over.
Sighing, Qin Jue couldn't be bothered to explain. He flicked his finger, and the memories he obtained from Feng Xi immediately turned into specks of light that fused into the space between the Heavenly Emperor's eyebrows.
"Argh!"
The Heavenly Emperor grunted and revealed a painful expression again. Before he could react, countless scenes suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, forming a river of memories that filled his mind.
Witnessing this scene, the Heavenly Emperor became more and more shocked.
Although these were all Feng Xi's memories, there were many memories related to him, including memories of him taking Feng Xi in as his disciple and treating him as his own. In the end, he was ambushed by Feng Xi when he was trying to break through to the God King Stage and lost his life.
Although only his remnant soul was left, the Heavenly Emperor was still not weaker than a lower realm True God Stage expert. He quickly finished absorbing all his memories and fell into a daze.
After a long while, the Heavenly Emperor turned to look at Qin Jue. His voice was trembling and filled with vicissitudes. "That Heavenly Emperor… was that me?"
"Who else could it be?" Qin Jue asked.
"…"
The Heavenly Emperor was stunned and speechless.
Right at this moment, divine light suddenly lit up on the Heavenly Emperor's body and spread out. It instantly caused the entire Divine Realm to resonate and tremble.
"Ah!"
In the next moment, the third eye between the Heavenly Emperor's brows slowly opened. He roared towards the sky and his voice echoed for thousands of kilometers, piercing through gold and splitting stone!
Seeing this, Qin Jue frowned and hurriedly retreated. He could feel the Heavenly Emperor's aura rising rapidly. What was going on?
Not only that, but as the Divine Realm resonated, large amounts of spirit qi surged into the Heavenly Emperor's body without end. In the end, even the void's spirit qi was absorbed and poured onto the Heavenly Emperor.
"This… this is…"
Feng Xi was dumbfounded. For some reason, a familiar feeling suddenly rose in his heart, making him incomparably afraid.
After an unknown period of time, the Divine Realm finally calmed down, and the void's spirit qi gradually calmed down.
The Heavenly Emperor was bathed in divine light and hung on the horizon like a sun. Immediately after, the Heavenly Emperor stretched out his five fingers and grabbed at Feng Xi.
Buzz!
Feng Xi's entire body shook as he said in disbelief, "How is this possible?"
Just now, the Heavenly Emperor True Essence that he had refined for hundreds of thousands of years had actually been activated!
If it weren't for Qin Jue sealing Feng Xi's spirit energy, the Heavenly Emperor True Essence would have already left under the Heavenly Emperor's command.
On the other side, Qin Jue also realized this and immediately waved his hand to remove the seal on Feng Xi's body.
Pu.
With a light sound, a ball of light that contained boundless power flew out from between Feng Xi's brows and landed in the Heavenly Emperor's palm.
"No! Give it back. It's mine!"
Feng Xi, who's seal had been deactivated, struggled to push open the World Mountain, wanting to snatch the Heavenly Emperor True Essence. In the end, before he could do anything, he heavily landed on the Divine Seal Altar. His aura fell in a straight line, and he fell out of the upper realm God King Stage. When he raised his head, he had already turned into a white-haired old man!
One had to know that the reason why Feng Xi was able to advance to the God King Stage and become a famous super expert in the God Realm was largely because of the Heavenly Emperor True Essence.
After refining the Heavenly Emperor True Essence, not only had Feng Xi's cultivation increased greatly, but he had also been reborn.
Now that the Heavenly Emperor had taken away the Heavenly Emperor True Essence, it was equivalent to returning Feng Xi to his original state. Fortunately, Feng Xi's talent was also extraordinary. Otherwise, he might have directly fallen out of the God King Stage.
Even so, Feng Xi still fell to the level of a lower realm God King Stage and suffered heavy injuries.
"No…"
Blood sprayed from Feng Xi's mouth and nose, and he was dispirited, as if he would die at any moment.
In the sky, the Heavenly Emperor looked at the ball of light in his hand with a slightly blank expression before swallowing it without hesitation!
In an instant, wind and clouds surged, and abnormal phenomena appeared frequently. With the Heavenly Emperor at the center, it quickly enveloped the entire Divine Realm.
Then, a magical scene appeared.
The originally dilapidated Divine Realm gradually grew all kinds of flowers and plants, full of vitality.
Then, the ground cracked, and spirit springs sprayed out from inside. In less than ten minutes, the Divine Realm had turned from a ruin into a paradise. Wherever one looked, there was no longer any dilapidated appearance.
At the same time, the remnant souls of the dozens of sleeping ancient True God Stage experts awakened one after another and floated around the Divine Seal Altar, faintly discernible.
These True God Stage experts' remnant souls were all members of the Heavenly Palace. They had been killed by Feng Xi, who had obtained the Heavenly Emperor True Essence. At this moment, they all started worshiping the Heavenly Emperor like devout believers.
A moment later, the light was extinguished, and the phenomenon dissipated. The Heavenly Emperor lightly landed on the Divine Seal Altar. There was no longer any confusion in his eyes. Instead, they were deep, vast, and filled with boundless dignity.
Most importantly, the Heavenly Emperor had reached the upper realm True God Stage!
"Feng Xi, do you know your crimes?"
The Heavenly Emperor looked down at Feng Xi and said coldly, as if he was talking to a dead man.

Chapter 299: Reconstructing the Heavenly Palace
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Feng Xi, do you know your crimes?"
The Heavenly Emperor's tone was cold and emotionless.
After absorbing the true essence, the Heavenly Emperor's remnant soul had already been restored. Not only had he regained his memories, but his strength had also increased greatly.
One had to know that even when he was alive, the Heavenly Emperor was only an upper realm True God Stage expert. It was just that he had mistakenly thought of himself as a God King Stage expert.
Even though the Heavenly Emperor already had the strength to break through to the God King Stage before his death, it was already inconceivable for him to be able to directly recover his previous cultivation when he was alive after being dead for so long.
Moreover, the Heavenly Emperor did not even have a physical body yet.
"Old thing, just kill me already!"
Seeing that there was no hope, Feng Xi gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, looking fearless.
"Hahaha, old thing?"
The Heavenly Emperor was in no hurry to kill Feng Xi. Instead, he teased, "No matter how I look at it, aren't you the older one here?"
"…"
Indeed, Feng Xi was already injured and had lost the True Essence of the Heavenly Emperor. He had fallen out of the upper realm God King Stage and had suffered heavy losses. He now looked like an old man on the verge of death, as if he would die at any moment.
On the other hand, the Heavenly Emperor had sharp brows, bright eyes, and a dignified aura. He was extremely charming. In the ancient times, countless female cultivators had been charmed by him. He might even look even younger after finishing constructing his body.
"Hmph! If you want to kill or torture me, do as you wish. Why humiliate me like this?!" Feng Xi said angrily.
Under normal circumstances, even if he lost the Heavenly Emperor True Essence and fell out of his realm, Feng Xi should still be able to defeat the Heavenly Emperor.
After all, Feng Xi had cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years more than the Heavenly Emperor.
However, at this moment, not only was Feng Xi severely injured, but his bones had also been shattered. Even his ocular technique had been crippled. Any Great Void Stage expert could easily kill him, let alone the Heavenly Emperor.
"Hehe, that would be too easy on you."
The Heavenly Emperor narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Hundreds of thousands of years ago, because I was too soft-hearted, I made a huge mistake and caused the destruction of the Heavenly Palace. I didn't expect that after hundreds of thousands of years, you would still be unrepentant."
"Fengxi, this is the last time I'll be calling your name. You disappoint me."
Hearing this, Feng Xi was stunned for a moment before he felt as if he was struck by lightning. His head buzzed, and two streams of tears unknowingly fell from the corner of his eyes!
"This time, I won't show mercy."
The Heavenly Emperor was expressionless, without any pity.
Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the Heavenly Emperor had accepted Feng Xi as his disciple and treated him as his own. He had given him all the best things, but in the end, he had been betrayed.
Now that he had narrowly escaped death and regained his memories, how could the Heavenly Emperor be soft-hearted again?
"Senior, can you leave this guy to me?"
The Heavenly Emperor turned around and bowed to Qin Jue. His greeting had already changed.
Although he didn't know how Qin Jue had captured Feng Xi here, if it weren't for Qin Jue, the Heavenly Emperor believed that it would have been impossible for him to recover his memories easily, let alone take revenge on Feng Xi.
"Do whatever you want."
Qin Jue shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
"Thank you, Senior."
After obtaining permission, the Heavenly Emperor immediately raised his palm without hesitation and condensed his spirit energy.
"Master, I was wrong!"
Suddenly, Feng Xi knelt down with a plop and hugged the Heavenly Emperor's thigh as he cried. This should be the first time Feng Xi had called the Heavenly Emperor master since the Heavenly Emperor had died.
Perhaps it was because he was touched by the Heavenly Emperor's words, or perhaps he felt that the Heavenly Emperor would really not show mercy, Feng Xi actually begged bitterly. He no longer had the fearless appearance from before.
Unfortunately…
The Heavenly Emperor took a deep breath and said indifferently, "It's too late."
In the next moment, the spirit energy between the Heavenly Emperor's palm suddenly emitted a terrifying destructive aura that heavily hit Feng Xi's head!
Crack!
As expected, blood instantly flowed from Feng Xi's seven orifices as he fell down. If not for the fact that the body of a lower realm God King Stage expert was indestructible, this palm would probably have torn him into pieces.
Of course, the Heavenly Emperor would not let Feng Xi die so easily. He opened his palm and a ball of spirit energy appeared, imprisoning Feng Xi's soul.
"What are you going to do to me?"
Feng Xi's face was filled with fear as he attempted to break through the spirit energy shackles. However, how could he succeed in such a state?
"I told you that killing you would be letting you off too lightly. I'll lock you in the Soul Devouring Tower and burn you with my divine flame for ten thousand years until your soul burns out." The Heavenly Emperor said faintly.
"What?!"
Feng Xi was shocked. "Old thing, you're too vicious!"
Others might not know about the Soul Devouring Tower, but Feng Xi knew it very well.
That was a place the Heavenly Palace specially used to torture the souls of its enemies. It was not inferior to the eighteen layers of hell. Moreover, he had to withstand the burning of the divine flames for ten thousand years. It was simply a living hell!
The Heavenly Emperor did not think much of this. He clenched his fist and directly put away Feng Xi's soul, preparing to slowly torture it in the future.
After doing this, the Heavenly Emperor bowed to Qin Jue again with an extremely sincere attitude. "Senior, thank you for your help. Otherwise, I'm afraid it would be very difficult for me to take revenge in this lifetime."
Before he could finish speaking, the Heavenly Emperor suddenly realized that something was wrong. He was already dead. Could this still be considered as his lifetime?
"No need, it was nothing." Qin Jue stretched lazily and said casually.
Because of what happened last time, Qin Jue had a good impression of the Heavenly Emperor. Otherwise, with Qin Jue's personality, he absolutely wouldn't have interfered and brought Feng Xi here.
After weighing his words, the Heavenly Emperor continued, "By the way, Senior, I plan to rebuild the Heavenly Palace. What do you think?"
Now that the Heavenly Emperor had revived, he had avenged himself. Although he didn't have a physical body, in the entire Inner Realm, besides Qin Jue, there was no one who could match him. If the Heavenly Palace was rebuilt, it would definitely cause a huge impact on the entire void.
However, Qin Jue was somewhat speechless.
He couldn't understand why he had to do with all of this. Why did the Heavenly Emperor need to ask for his permission?
Just as Qin Jue didn't know whether to laugh or to cry, he frowned as if recalling something. He looked around and said, "Are you going to rebuild the Heavenly Palace here?"
The Heavenly Emperor was stunned and hurriedly answered, "Yes."
This was originally the ruins of the former Heavenly Palace. After its transformation, aside from lacking living beings, it was no weaker than the White Dragon World in any aspect. In fact, it even surpassed it.
"Can you save a spot for me?" Qin Jue asked.
"???"
The Celestial Thearch was dumbfounded, but he still nodded. "No problem."
"Hahaha, thank you. I still have something to do. I'll leave first. Goodbye."
After saying this, Qin Jue flew up and quickly disappeared from sight, leaving the even more dumbfounded Heavenly Emperor behind.
Leaving just like that?
Didn't he have anything else to say?
Without waiting for the Heavenly Emperor to react, the World Mountain on the Divine Seal Altar suddenly rose and flew in the direction Qin Jue had just left.
The Heavenly Emperor :"…"
…
In fact, the reason why Qin Jue was in such a hurry to leave was because he didn't want to participate in such a matter at all. He couldn't even be bothered with the internal affairs of the Xuanyi Mountain Sect, so why would he care about the Heavenly Palace?
"Hu, I still prefer to drink wine."
Taking out a pot of spirit wine, Qin Jue opened it and said happily.
Right at this moment, violent sounds of battle suddenly sounded from ahead, and layers of energy ripples swept out.
Qin Jue raised his eyes and looked over, his face slightly gloomy.

Chapter 300: Leave the rest to me
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Boom!
In the void, two powerful spirit energies suddenly collided, creating layers of ripples that spread out.
Wherever the spirit energies passed, countless meteors shattered and turned into nothingness.
At this moment, Long Zhui was fighting a late-phase Great Sage Stage human expert. Relying on his physical strength and the White Dragon Race's martial technique, Long Zhui was actually not at a disadvantage at all.
However, there was still a difference in the two's strengths. For a moment, no one could do anything to the other.
In the distance, another Great Sage Stage expert crossed his arms in front of his chest and sneered, "Brother Zhou, didn't you say that you would be able to defeat this fellow in ten moves? You've already used almost a hundred moves, right?"
"Hmph! Stop talking nonsense. He's an adult white dragon. How can it be so easy?"
The man known as Brother Zhou said coldly. He had almost pushed his spirit energy to the limit, but unfortunately, he was still unable to defeat Long Zhui.
This person's name was Zhou Jing. Because he happened to pass by this area and sensed the spirit qi fluctuations coming from the Divine Realm, he came to take a look with his friend.
Unexpectedly, he discovered a lone white dragon!
It had to be known that in the eyes of human cultivators, the white dragon was the top-notch "cultivation sacred artifact".
Whether it was bones, flesh, or other things, they were all priceless treasures.
Most importantly, this white dragon was only at the early-phase of the Great Sage Stage. It was simply a god-sent opportunity. How could Zhou Jing and his friends let it go?
As long as they refined this white dragon, perhaps the two of them could advance to the Great Void Stage in their lifetime!
However, what Zhou Jing did not expect was that a mere early-phase Great Sage Stage expert could actually fight him to such an extent. It even made Zhou Jing feel more and more exhausted.
No matter what, he was still a late-phase Great Sage Stage expert. How could he lose to an early-phase Great Sage Stage expert?
Thinking like this, runes suddenly appeared between Zhou Jing's brows, and his aura soared!
Bang!
With a dull bang, Long Zhui was suddenly sent flying. Caught off guard, he was almost severely injured by Zhou Jing. Fortunately, his defense was timely and he was barely uninjured.
"Oh, you even used your secret technique?"
Another person raised his eyebrows in surprise.
As Zhou Jing's friend, Jin Peng knew Zhou Jing's strength very well. Even among the late-phase Great Sage Stage experts, he was considered one of the best.
Since the other party could force Zhou Jing to use a secret technique, the white dragon was clearly not that simple.
"Brother Zhou, don't waste any more time. It'll be troublesome if there are other White Dragon Race experts nearby. Let's join forces and end the battle quickly!"
After making up his mind, Jin Peng immediately flew towards the battle. Before he could approach, a spirit energy aura that was not inferior to Zhou Jing's erupted from his body. It was faintly accompanied by dense blood qi and revealed killing intent.
Hearing this, Zhou Jing frowned slightly and nodded. "Alright, let's end this quickly!"
It was indeed as Jin Peng had said. If there were other White Dragon Race experts nearby, it would be troublesome. Now was not the time to forcefully show off.
Facing the attacks of two late-phase Great Sage Stage experts, Long Zhui's expression was extremely gloomy and bitter.
Even if he was a white dragon with extremely powerful physical defense, it was still impossible for him to fight two experts whose levels were higher than his at the same time.
"I hope Master can come out soon."
Gritting his teeth, Long Zhui could only brace himself and rush forward.
Right at this moment, Long Zhui's body suddenly froze. He was instantly frozen in place and could not move.
He wondered what was going on.
Long Zhui was shocked. Could it be that the two humans opposite him had a spatial divine ability?
What a joke!
Before Long Zhui could figure it out, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ear. "Leave the rest to me."
Long Zhui's eyes widened as he was overjoyed.
In the next moment, Qin Jue silently appeared in front of Long Zhui. With a wine pot in his hand, he looked like an immortal that had walked out of a painting.
Looking at this scene, Long Zhui could not help but reveal a worshipful expression.
"Mm? Another one? What should we do?"
Zhou Jing was stunned and slightly panicked.
It couldn't be helped. Qin Jue's temperament was too extraordinary. One look and one could tell that he wasn't an ordinary person.
If this fight took place in a low-level dimension, a Great Sage Stage expert like Zhou Jing might be more confident and arrogant.
However, this void was the most powerful area in the Inner Realm. Who knew how many Great Void Stage experts were around? How could they dare to act presumptuously?
"Don't worry, it's also a human."
Jin Peng's eyes flickered as he pondered about something.
Zhou Jing was stunned. Only then did he notice that Qin Jue was not from the White Dragon Race, but a human!
"Who are you? Why are you snatching our prey?"
After pondering for a moment, Jin Peng said, "No matter what, the rules are first come, first served."
In Jin Peng's opinion, Qin Jue should have the same motives as them, wanting to refine Long Zhui.
After all, even Great Void Stage experts would covet a Great Sage Stage white dragon. If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't see Qin Jue's cultivation clearly, Jin Peng would have been directly attacked.
"Prey?"
Qin Jue's expression was strange. It seemed to be a bitter smile, but also a mocking one.
Seeing that Qin Jue didn't answer, Jin Peng suggested, "As the saying goes, whoever sees it gets a share. Since you're unwilling to let go, the two of us can take a step back and allow you to split it equally with us. How about it?"
"That's right. We can split it equally." Zhou Jing hurriedly chimed in.
Sighing, Qin Jue couldn't be bothered to waste his breath on these two ants. He raised his hand and slapped them.
"Don't think that we're really afraid of you!"
However, Jin Peng quickly realized that something was wrong, because when Qin Jue's palm fell, the entire void trembled as if it couldn't help but cry!
"No!"
Rumble!
As the fist wind blew, Jin Peng and Zhou Jing both scattered like sand, their souls destroyed.
After doing this, Qin Jue took a sip of spirit wine and turned around. "Let's go."
Strictly speaking, Qin Jue could relate to what Jin Peng and Zhou Jing were doing. After all, Qin Jue often caught some fiend beasts to eat, just not to cultivate and become stronger.
But that didn't mean he could forgive them. If Qin Jue had come out a little later, Long Zhui would have been in danger.
"…"
After following Qin Jue for so long, Long Zhui was already used to Qin Jue's style of doing things. Thus, he wasn't surprised. However, every time he saw Qin Jue attack, Long Zhui would still be shocked.
It was simply too terrifying!
In Long Zhui's impression, no one had ever been able to fight Qin Jue for more than three minutes. Most of them were instantly killed, including True God Stage experts and even God King Stage experts!
…
After leaving the Divine Realm, Qin Jue casually opened a spatial gate and rode Long Zhui back to the Spirit Central World.
As for the White Dragon Race, the matter had already been resolved. There was no need for him to go there alone.
Originally, because of Qin Jue, the Martial Sacred Hall had already lost a Half God Stage expert and its Hall Master had been severely injured. Now, their faction had weakened greatly. They would no longer dare to fight the White Dragon Race head-on.
However, after what happened with the Heavenly Palace divine envoy, the White Dragon Race had also lost a Half God Stage expert and their patriarch was also severely injured. The strength of the two sides had basically been balanced. This balance would probably be maintained until Long Xiaoyu grew stronger.
Although Qin Jue had a good relationship with the White Dragon Race, he still felt that it was best not to let them become the masters of this void given how much they hated humans. Otherwise, all humans would probably suffer as well.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Emperor was about to rebuild the Heavenly Palace.. By then, the battle between the two should be broken, but that would have nothing to do with Qin Jue.

Chapter 301: Everything Is For Food!
To Qin Jue, what happened outside the Divine Realm was just an interlude. He quickly returned to the Spirit Central World.
It had only been less than three days since Long Xiaoyu came to ask for help, causing Qin Jue to kill his way to the Heavenly Palace and bring Feng Xi to the Divine Realm to be dealt with by the Heavenly Emperor.
Qin Jue had met up with Bai Ye before he left. However, since Bai Ye usually left Qin Jue alone, it was as if Qin Jue had never left.
As soon as Qin Jue landed on the cliff, Yun Xi knocked into Qin Jue's arms with a bang and rubbed against him hard. She looked up and said, "Master, I miss you so much."
Qin Jue :"…"
Was there a need to be so exaggerated?
Seeing this, Long Zhui immediately left tactfully and found a place to sit cross-legged to cultivate.
After witnessing the consecutive battles between high-level experts and experiencing the environment of the God Realm, Long Zhui had benefited greatly. Cultivating at this time would definitely make his speed twice as fast with half the effort.
"Do you miss me or do you just miss eating meat?"
Qin Jue rolled his eyes, rather speechless.
"Both!"
Yun Xi nodded repeatedly, not trying to hide anything.
Qin Jue :"…"
"We're not eating meat today."
Qin Jue picked up Yun Xi's hair and put her on his shoulder.
"Then what are we eating?"
Yun Xi was filled with anticipation.
"Uh… fruits."
Qin Jue casually plucked a fruit from the spirit tree beside him and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Huh?"
Yun Xi had a disappointed expression. She was tired of eating these spirit fruits and did not have an appetite for them at all.
In a while, Qin Jue finished the two spirit fruits and yawned. "I'm going to sleep. You can play by yourself."
As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards the courtyard.
Originally, Qin Jue wanted to return to sleep after resolving the White Dragon Race's crisis, but he didn't expect to get involved with the Outer Realm Heavenly Palace. After being delayed for so long, he could finally rest properly now.
Yun Xi was helpless and could only fly away to find something to eat.
With Yun Xi's current cultivation, as long as she wasn't facing a Legendary Stage expert, she was basically invincible, so Qin Jue wasn't worried about her safety.
Moreover, Yun Xi was extremely cautious and absolutely wouldn't travel too far away from Xuanyi Mountain Sect. This was also the reason why she was depressed. The surroundings of the Xuanyi Mountain Sect were only filled with low-level Yellow Stage fiend beasts, so how could her appetite be satisfied?
Unfortunately, she could only fill her stomach first, even though it was fine for her not to eat.
At the same time, Qin Jue had already returned to his room to sleep.
Qin Jue slept until noon the next day. Looking at the bright sunlight outside after waking up the next day, Qin Jue stretched lazily and immediately heard a crackling sound.
Walking out of the room, sunlight immediately shone down. Perhaps it was because winter had just passed, the sunlight made him feel very warm.
"Master, you're awake."
Yun Xi sat on the blue stone and took two bites of a piece of roasted meat. It tasted like wax and she revealed an aggrieved expression.
"What are you eating?" Qin Jue casually asked.
"I don't know. It looks like a big tiger."
Yun Xi pondered seriously for a moment before she answered.
"…"
"Alright then."
Qin Jue was helpless. "I'll catch two fiend beasts for you later."
Originally, he thought that he was already considered a super glutton. However, compared to Yun Xi, the difference between them was simply like the difference between the heavens and the earth.
Qin Jue couldn't figure out why a manifestation of a spirit herb liked to eat meat so much.
"Really? Master treats me the best!"
Yun Xi's eyes lit up. She directly threw away the roasted meat in her hand and pounced towards Qin Jue.
"Wait, don't come over!"
Qin Jue hurriedly stopped Yun Xi. At this moment, Yun Xi's hands were full of oil. If she pounced over, she would probably cause his entire body to be covered in oil.
What was worth mentioning was that because almost all the high-level fiend beasts in the Southern Land had been eaten by them, Qin Jue could only go elsewhere to take a look.
Just as Qin Jue was about to move, spatial fluctuations suddenly came from not far away. Immediately after, a pure and elegant beauty in a white dress walked out. Her appearance was cold and beautiful, giving off a cold and penetrating feeling.
The woman was slender and elegant, peerless among her peers. Her every move faintly emitted a shocking aura of wind and lightning. Apart from Su Yan, who else could it be?
"Sister Su Yan!"
Yun Xi, who was about to act coquettishly towards Qin Jue just now, immediately wiped her hands and flew into the woman's arms.
Qin Jue :"…"
Qin Jue felt that reality was really cruel.
"Haha, long time no see."
Su Yan rubbed Yun Xi's head and revealed a sweet smile. Only when she came here could she feel joy from the bottom of her heart.
Compared to a few months ago, not only had Su Yan's cultivation improved greatly, but she had also reached the middle-phase of the Supreme Stage. Even her physique had changed, and her talent was even greater.
In the past few months, she had been cultivating in the Thunder Breeze Pool, breaking all the records since the establishment of the Thunder Breeze Sect, causing many abnormal phenomena and shocking the Southern Land.
In the entire Thunder Breeze Sect, she can basically defeat anyone except for three experts, one of which was the sect master. Even some of the elders who were higher-ups were still not her match.
At this rate, Su Yan would probably step into the Legendary Stage in less than a hundred or even thirty years and bring the Thunder Breeze Sect back to the ranks of the Four Major Sects.
As for the Xuanyi Mountain Sect, because it was too powerful, it had already surpassed the Four Major Sects and was listed as a Sacred Land.
"Hehe, Sister Su Yan, I miss you so much."
Yun Xi rubbed against Su Yan's chest and her little face was filled with happiness. After all, Su Yan's appearance meant that she could have a big meal again.
Qin Jue :"…"
"…"
"Eh?"
Suddenly, Su Yan's eyes narrowed as she said in disbelief, "You're already at the Supreme Stage?"
It was only natural for Su Yan to be shocked. After all, when she saw Yun Xi for the first time, Yun Xi had yet to take human form and was only around the Profound Stage. When they parted the last time, she was only at the Earth Stage. It hasn't even been that long yet.
Even if Yun Xi took pills every day, Su Yan still felt that it was unnatural for her to advance so fast.
"Sure!"
Yun Xi's little mouth raised slightly as she said proudly, "How is it? I'm very powerful, right?"
"This…"
Su Yan opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer. The pride in her heart immediately disappeared.
"Hehe, Sister Su Yan, actually, my Master was the one who helped me."
Yun Xi leaned over to Su Yan's ear and whispered, "If Sister Su Yan continues to cook by Master's side, you'll definitely be even stronger."
"Really?"
Su Yan hesitated.
"Of course."
Yun Xi patted her chest and said firmly, "When have I, Yun Xi, ever lied to anyone?"
Qin Jue :"…"
Qin Jue had heard everything.
He knew very well Yun Xi was only saying this so that Su Yan could cook for her in the future.
However, Yun Xi's words still reminded Su Yan. Indeed, Su Yan knew very well that she could quickly become stronger if she followed Qin Jue.
However, Su Yan wasn't Qin Jue's disciple. Previously, she had followed Qin Jue to travel to the Sacred Land of the Central Continent and had pushed her limits. Now, even if she could cook for Qin Jue, she still didn't feel like she could bother Qin Jue by following him around.
"Since I told you all this, quickly go and cook! I'm starving." Yun Xi urged.
Su Yan :"…"
Qin Jue :"…"
Indeed, Yun Xi only wanted to eat.

Chapter 302: Would You Like Some Spirit Wine?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Spirit Central World, Southern Land, Xuanyi Mountain
Perhaps it was because they had taken in more disciples, the current Xuanyi Mountain Sect was clearly much more lively than before.
Everywhere one looked, one could see young boys and girls who were diligently cultivating. All of them had firm expressions and were sweating profusely.
Although the Xuanyi Mountain Sect was now the holy land of the Southern Land and was above the Three Major Sects, it was still very lacking. Aside from their top combat strength, they were inferior to the Three Major Sects in all other aspects.
This was especially true for the cultivation of their basic-level disciples. The majority of Xuanyi Mountain Sect's disciples had always been around the Yellow Stage and the Profound Stage and were simply unable to compare with the Three Major Sects.
This was also the reason why Bai Ye agreed to recruit more disciples. Although he was not interested in ruling the Southern Land, with the current strength of the Xuanyi Mountain Sect, it was almost impossible for the sect to stay hidden in remote areas like before. Therefore, Bai Ye had to constantly develop and strengthen it.
"Sect Master, these are cultivation resources handed over by the internal factions of Brilliance City. Please take a look."
First Elder Wang Quan took out a storage ring and placed it in front of Bai Ye.
Ever since the Six Great Clans had voluntarily left Brilliance City and handed it over to the Xuanyi Mountain Sect, the First Elder had become the new owner of Brilliance City in name.
Throughout the thousand years of Brilliance City's history, the First Elder should have been the first Heaven Stage City Lord. Even so, no one dared to disobey him. They even had to pay 30% of their cultivation resources to him as "protection fees".
This was not something the First Elder or the Xuanyi Mountain Sect had forced them to do. Instead, the factions of Brilliance City had insisted on paying because they were worried themselves.
Naturally, the First Elder also wouldn't refuse such a strange request.
"Yeah."
Bai Ye nodded and said meaningfully, "Old Wang, how are you doing in Brilliance City?"
Strictly speaking, before Bai Ye became the sect master of the Xuanyi Mountain Sect, the two of them should have been enemies.
Not only had both sides suffered heavy losses in the Mountain Gate Tournament decades ago, but they had also fought for the position of sect master in the past.
However, relying on his usual shameless style, Bai Ye successfully rose to the top.
Reality proved that although Bai Ye was very unreliable at times, he was indeed more suitable to be the sect master than the First Elder.
At least in terms of cultivation talent, Bai Ye far surpassed the First Elder and had stepped into the Supreme Stage long ago.
On the other hand, the First Elder had long given up on the position of sect master and was no longer as jealous and resentful as before.
In short, the two of them were more like friends now, and there was no strict hierarchy between them.
"It's alright I guess."
After that, the First Elder immediately revealed a happy smile. "You might not know this, but every time the leaders of those factions of Brilliance City meet me, they want nothing more than to bury their heads in the ground. Hahaha."
As the saying went, when a person attained the Dao, even the nearby chickens and dogs would rise to the sky.
Even though the First Elder was only at the Heaven Stage, because he had the Xuanyi Mountain Sect behind him, even Supreme Stage experts had to be respectful to him. This was also why those brainless geniuses dared to act so recklessly despite their inferior cultivation.
The young master of the Wei Clan was one of such geniuses.
However, the First Elder was not so stupid. As long as no one found fault with him, he would be fine. He also wouldn't do anything out of line to avoid attracting trouble.
After all, he knew his status in the Xuanyi Mountain Sect very well. Although he was the First Elder and was almost only inferior to the sect master, his strength was almost not even in the top five in the sect.
Moreover, Bai Ye had always hated people who caused trouble. Bai Ye had specially reminded the First Elder of this when he took over Brilliance City.
"Oh, really?"
Bai Ye said indifferently, "In that case, keep these cultivation resources for yourself."
"Huh?"
The First Elder was stunned and thought that he had misheard. "What did you say?"
Bai Ye smiled bitterly. "I said, keep these cultivation resources for yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Ye flicked his finger, and the storage ring immediately flew over to the First Elder.
"This…"
The First Elder looked hesitant, not understanding what Bai Ye meant.
"Don't worry. The sect doesn't lack cultivation resources now. In any case, you'll be in charge of Brilliance City in the future. You will need it."
After a pause, he added, "You don't want to stay at the Heaven Stage forever, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the First Elder, who had a hesitant expression, immediately put away his storage ring and cupped his fists. "Thank you, Sect Master!"
After all, all cultivators yearned to become stronger.
This was especially true now that the First Elder was in charge of Brilliance City. Although he had the support of the Xuanyi Mountain Sect, if he could step into the Supreme Stage, it would definitely be more convenient for him to handle affairs. He also wouldn't have to worry about people talking behind his back.
"Hahaha, what are you thanking me for? You're too polite."
Bai Ye stood up and patted the First Elder's shoulder. He smiled and said, "You're leaving tomorrow. Have a drink with me."
"Sure!"
The First Elder nodded heavily.
Not long after, Bai Ye prepared some food and drank with the First Elder in the main hall.
"Wu!"
Suddenly, the First Elder frowned and put down his wine cup.
"What's wrong?"
"My… my stomach hurts."
The First Elder looked up with a painful expression.
"Your stomach hurts?"
Bai Ye was surprised. "That shouldn't be the case. I only added some medicinal powder to the wine."
"???"
"What powder?" The First Elder endured the intense pain and asked.
"Oh, I added the powder of a grade four spirit herb that I created myself. It's called the Exploding Spirit Pill. It can improve the cultivation of a Heaven Stage cultivator. I crushed it into powder and poured it into wine." Bai Ye explained.
"Then why are you fine?"
The First Elder wanted to cry but had no tears to shed.
When he heard the words "created myself", he knew that he was done for.
"Because this spirit herb is only useful to Heaven Stage cultivators. That's why I didn't add it to my drink."
"…"
It was only at this moment that the First Elder noticed that he and Bai Ye were not drinking from the same wine!
Too cunning!
The First Elder never expected that Bai Ye would actually extend a fiendish claw at him. No wonder Bai Ye had given him so many cultivation resources just now!
"How is it? Do you feel spirit qi traveling through your body?"
Bai Ye was full of anticipation.
First Elder :"…"
The First Elder almost cursed out at Bai Ye.
Right at this moment, the First Elder's expression changed slightly. He felt an indescribable gas flowing through his body. In the next moment, this gas suddenly rushed towards his lower body!
In an instant, the First Elder thought of Bai Ye's tragic state a few months ago!
"Not good!"
The First Elder was aghast, and his face flushed red. He hurriedly circulated his spirit energy to suppress this gas and roared at Bai Ye, "Ahhh! I want to kill you!"
Boom!
The Xuanyi Mountain Sect shook violently, forming visible spirit energy ripples that spread out, attracting the puzzled gazes of many higher-ups.
"This is… the First Elder's spirit energy aura?"
"And the aura of Sect Master."
"What's going on?"
"They should be sparring, right?"
"…"
Everyone discussed animatedly and were puzzled.
At this moment, above the main hall, Bai Ye fled in a panic. He turned around and said, "Stop it, stop chasing me! I did that for your own good."
"Cut the crap. Today, I will… Wu!"
Before he could finish his sentence, the First Elder could no longer hold it in. He clutched his stomach and quickly disappeared from sight. He did not want to lose face in front of so many people like Bai Ye.
"Hai, looks like I failed again."
Watching the First Elder leave, Bai Ye sighed.
Bang!
A loud bang suddenly sounded from the horizon, shaking the heavens and the earth. Even the clouds dispersed, looking exceptionally terrifying.
Su Yan, who was cooking for Yun Xi at the cliff couldn't help but look in the direction of the noise and was rather curious. "I wonder what's wrong?"
"…"
"Ahem, it should be fine."

Chapter 303: I Want to Fight Bai Ye to the Death!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Hu, as expected of Sister Su Yan. The food you make is so delicious."
Yun Xi lay on the blue stone with her stomach raised and said in satisfaction.
In the distance, Qin Jue took a sip of spirit wine and was slightly speechless.
It was difficult to imagine that Yun Xi could actually eat so much despite her small body.
It seemed that ever since Yun Xi obtained the inheritance of the Heavenly Emperor, her appetite had increased greatly. She could easily eat half a cow, which was even more than what Qin Jue could eat.
Fortunately, Yun Xi could circulate her cultivation technique to resolve the energy from her food. Otherwise, she would have probably become as fat as a ball long ago.
"Senior."
At this time, Su Yan finished packing the cutlery and walked over. She hesitated for a moment before gently sitting beside Qin Jue.
"Yeah."
Qin Jue didn't care. Instead, he raised his head and drank the spirit wine in the pot before asking, "Has anything happened in the Thunder Breeze Sect recently?"
He was very bored now, so he could only find a random topic to talk about.
Hearing this, Su Yan was stunned. She didn't expect Qin Jue to mention the Thunder Breeze Sect in front of her and hurriedly answered, "No, nothing."
Because of the death of Patriarch Thunder Breeze, the Thunder Breeze Sect was now very low-profile. Their territory had also shrunk greatly. It was basically impossible for them to recover their former glory before the next Legendary Stage expert appeared.
"Oh."
Qin Jue nodded, took out another pot of spirit wine, and continued to drink.
"…"
Silence fell.
Su Yan opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say. She simply sat quietly like this, forming an absolutely beautiful scene with Qin Jue.
Unknowingly, the Sun set in the west and the Moon rose. Night fell like a thin veil. At the same time, a sky full of stars gradually appeared and hung on the horizon like a white satin, making one feel fascinated.
"So beautiful…" Su Yan muttered softly, her eyes extremely bright.
Because she had become the holy maiden of the Thunder Breeze Sect since she was young, Su Yan spent most of her time cultivating and almost had no childhood to speak of.
This was the first time she had truly calmed down to appreciate the night. It was simply breathtaking.
"Beautiful?"
Qin Jue looked up at the starry sky and felt nothing special.
However, this was normal. After all, he had already seen this scene for ten years. No matter how beautiful the scenery was, he should have long gotten tired of it.
Just as Qin Jue was about to get up and sleep, Su Yan, who was originally sitting next to him, tilted her head and leaned on his shoulder.
What was going on?
Qin Jue looked down and found that Su Yan's eyes were closed and the corner of her mouth was raised. She had actually fallen asleep!
Qin Jue was simply baffled.
Wasn't Su Yan a Supreme Stage expert?
How could a Supreme Stage expert, who doesn't need to sleep, fall asleep so easily?
Could it be that Su Yan had suddenly relaxed because she was too tired and could not control herself all of a sudden?
At the moment, this seemed to be the only explanation.
However, Su Yan did look a little cute. Moreover, there was an indescribable fragrance on her body that was very alluring.
1
After all, Su Yan was one of the three most beautiful women Qin Jue had ever seen. At this moment, she had a cute and helpless appearance that no man would have the heart to disturb.
Sighing, Qin Jue could only pretend that nothing had happened and continue to sit in place. It seemed that he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
The next morning…
The first sunlight of dawn broke through the darkness and lit up at the end of the horizon. It was not dazzling, but it was exceptionally warm.
Thick fog filled the peak of the Xuanyi Mountain Sect, wetting the flowers, trees, and Qin Jue and Su Yan's clothes.
"Ah…"
Su Yan groggily opened her eyes and felt that her entire body was abnormally relaxed. She did not feel any burden, as if she had just soaked in a spirit spring and was refreshed.
"Ah, when did I fall asleep?"
Su Yan suddenly woke up and found herself leaning on Qin Jue's shoulder!
"You're awake?"
Sensing Su Yan's movements, Qin Jue immediately looked down.
"Sorry, Senior."
Su Yan blushed and hurriedly stood up to apologize.
Even she did not expect herself to fall asleep.
But… the feeling she felt was so comfortable.
"It's okay." Qin Jue waved his hand and said indifferently.
Qin Jue waved his hand and said indifferently, "I thought that high-level cultivators really didn't need to sleep. Also, you're very cute when you sleep."
As soon as these words were spoken, Su Yan's face instantly turned even redder, and her ears even started to flush like a steam engine.
For no reason, Su Yan suddenly thought of the bronze mirror Qin Jue had previously given her and the "love poem" he said to her: Even in front of the endless mountains and rivers, the beauty in the mirror cannot be matched.
"No… no, it's because I just came out of the Thunder Breeze Pool not long ago, so…"
Su Yan was indeed not lying. After several months of high-intensity cultivation in the Thunder Breeze Pool, her body and mind were exhausted. Furthermore, she had come to the Xuanyi Mountain Sect before stabilizing her realm, causing her to directly enter a resting state when her mind relaxed.
Otherwise, how could a Supreme Stage expert fall asleep so easily?
"Hahaha, why are you so nervous? It's not like I'm going to eat you." Qin Jue teased.
Su Yan :"…"
1
"Right, you haven't been back all night. Is it alright for you to be out for so long?" As if recalling something, Qin Jue reminded.
"Ah, I can't believe I forgot!"
Su Yan was stunned for a moment before hurriedly circulating her spirit energy to activate the teleportation passageway and prepare to return.
She had just come out of the Thunder Breeze Pool not long ago and was currently very valued by the elders. Although no one dared to barge into her residence, if she had not appeared for too long, who knew what crazy actions those elders would take?
Su Yan was now the only hope of the Thunder Breeze Sect. Her status was inferior only to the sect master, and the Thunder Breeze Sect absolutely could not allow anything to happen to her.
Seeing that the teleportation passageway was about to open, Su Yan suddenly took a deep breath and summoned up her courage. "Senior, I… I like…"
1
Before she could finish speaking, space distorted slightly, and Su Yan instantly disappeared from her original spot.
2
Qin Jue :"…"
What did she like?
Qin Jue was frustrated.
Just as Qin Jue was thinking, a figure suddenly flew over from the horizon, swaying as if he would fall at any moment.
Qin Jue focused his eyes. It was actually First Elder Wang Quan!
However, the First Elder looked rather miserable at this moment. He was yellow, thin, and his aura was dispirited. He no longer had the youthful appearance from yesterday. It was a miracle that he could even fly so far.
Qin Jue started to wonder if this was all caused by his senior brother's spirit herbs.
It had to be known that the First Elder was a late-phase Heaven Stage expert!
On second thought, Qin Jue realized it was reasonable. After all, even that peak Heaven Stage expert from the Wei Clan couldn't withstand Bai Ye's medicinal pills, let alone the First Elder?
"First Elder, are you alright?"
Qin Jue flew up to the First Elder.
"Oh, it's Junior Brother Qin."
The First Elder coughed twice and gritted his teeth. "Don't stop me. I am going to fight that old thing, Bai Ye, to the death!"
Wang Quan had never expected that he would one day be tortured to such an extent by "spirit qi" and diarrhea. Most importantly, he had struggled for an entire night!
It was absolutely intolerable!
Qin Jue :"…"
Qin Jue didn't understand how the First Elder planned to fight Bai Ye in his current state.
"Old man, I'm going to kill you…"
The First Elder staggered to the front of the main hall and into the main hall, as if he was facing death head-on.
"…"

Chapter 304: Decision
Boom!
The Xuanyi Mountain Sect shook violently. Accompanied by a shocking spirit energy fluctuation, vibrations spread out, raising a violent wind that filled the sky, blowing the grass and leaves crazily.
"Old Wang! What are you doing? Don't hit my face… Ah!"
"Bai Ye, stop right there!"
"Stop fighting, stop fighting. If you continue fighting, you'll become stupid!"
"…"
"…"
This day would be recorded in the history books of the Xuanyi Mountain Sect because the First Elder had actually fought with the Sect Master.
In the end, Bai Ye was embarrassed to fight back and was beaten up by the First Elder.
As the only audience present who had witnessed the entire process, Qin Jue was rather emotional. It was hard to imagine that the First Elder, who had already become like that, could actually release such powerful spirit energy in a battle. It was simply inconceivable.
From this, it could be seen how much the First Elder hated Bai Ye.
The price was that the First Elder directly fell unconscious the next day. If it weren't for Qin Jue healing him, the First Elder would probably have fainted for at least half a month before waking up.
"Old Wang, don't be so angry. I did it for your own good."
Bai Ye said earnestly, "Although the Exploding Spirit Pill does have many drawbacks, I could still tell that you were already close to the peak of the Heaven Stage when you fought me yesterday. This proves that the Exploding Spirit Pill is still very useful."
At this moment, Bai Ye's face was bruised and swollen, like a pig's head. Especially his two eyes, they had completely turned black, making him look exceptionally comical.
It couldn't be helped. Bai Ye was in the wrong and was too embarrassed to fight back, so he was beaten up like this.
First Elder :"…"
First Elder was baffled.
"Here, this is the Exploding Spirit Pill powder that I refined overnight. I even specially improved it, and there are absolutely no side effects this time. As long as you consume this Exploding Spirit Pill powder before cultivating, you will definitely be able to step into the peak of the Heaven Stage in less than three months."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Ye withdrew a jade bottle with a solemn expression and placed it in front of the First Elder.
"…"
Taking a deep breath, the First Elder directly raised his hand and punched!
Fortunately, Bai Ye reacted quickly and dodged in time.
"Hey, Old Wang, don't push your luck. Don't think that I'm really afraid of you!"
"Get lost!" The First Elder shouted angrily.
"Hmph, so be it."
Bai Ye pursed his lips.
"Also, take this bottle of medicinal powder with you!"
"What? You really don't want it?"
"Get lost!"
"…"
Helpless, Bai Ye could only put away the jade bottle and turn to leave.
"Hu, Hu, I'm so angry!"
Watching Bai Ye leave, the First Elder slapped the table beside him in anger.
Crack!
The stone table that was enough to withstand the full-power attack of an Earth Stage cultivator collapsed with a bang, turning into countless fragments that fell to the ground.
"Cough cough, First Elder, you should be fine now, right?"
At this moment, Qin Jue, who had been standing aside silently, suddenly asked.
"Ah, I'm fine. I'm fine. Thank you, Junior Brother Qin."
The First Elder was stunned for a moment before remembering that Qin Jue was also in the room. "If it weren't for Junior Brother Qin, I'm afraid I would have been in a coma for at least half a month."
The reason why the First Elder was able to release spirit energy that was close to the peak of the Heaven Stage yesterday was indeed because the Exploding Spirit Pill powder did have a slight effect.
Most importantly, the First Elder's anger towards Bai Ye had already reached the limit. When he fought Bai Ye yesterday, he was basically sacrificing his health.
It was precisely because of this that the First Elder fell into a coma. If it weren't for Qin Jue nourishing him with spirit energy, his foundation might have even been shaken.
"You're welcome. It was nothing."
Qin Jue waved his hand and changed the topic. "By the way, when is First Elder planning to return to Brilliance City?"
"Hai, maybe tomorrow."
The First Elder sighed. "It's all Bai Ye's fault. Otherwise, I would have gone back yesterday."
Qin Jue :"…"
"Cough cough, First Elder, please accept this."
"What is it?"
Puzzled, the First Elder took the storage ring Qin Jue handed over.
First Elder was immediately shocked when he opened it. It was filled with all kinds of high-level cultivation resources. First Elder had never even seen some of the items before.
In comparison, the "protection fees" paid by Brilliance City were no different from trash.
"This… this is…"
The First Elder's hands trembled and he was dumbfounded. For a moment, he did not know how to describe his feelings.
Qin Jue was not surprised by the First Elder's reaction. He indifferently said, "These are all cultivation resources for the First Elder. In addition, there's something I hope the First Elder can cooperate with."
"What is it?"
The First Elder gulped and said bitterly, "Let's make this clear first. I will definitely not betray the Xuanyi Mountain Sect."
Hearing this, Qin Jue was stunned and couldn't help but smile bitterly. "First Elder, you're thinking too much. How could I ask you to betray the Xuanyi Mountain Sect?"
After considering his words, Qin Jue explained, "I want you to resign from your position as the City Lord of Brilliance City."
"What?"
The First Elder was stunned and thought that he had misheard. "Why?"
It had to be known that Brilliance City occupied an extremely important geographical location within a radius of 5,000 kilometers. Not only was its cultivation resources extremely abundant, but it was also a place that many factions had to pass through. Otherwise, the Six Great Clans wouldn't have been so eager to build stations in the Brilliance City.
Unfortunately, with the rise of the Xuanyi Mountain Sect, the Six Great Clans could only choose to give up.
"Mm… we might be moving out of this area after a while." Qin Jue answered.
"Huh?"
First Elder subconsciously asked, "Where are we moving to?"
"I'll tell you when the time comes."
In fact, Qin Jue had already thought of this long ago. Originally, he planned to find a place by himself and directly move the Xuanyi Mountain Sect over.
But after hearing that the Heavenly Emperor wanted to rebuild the Heavenly Palace, Qin Jue suddenly felt that he might be able to move to the Heavenly Palace, so he asked the Heavenly Emperor to save him a place.
The environment there was not inferior to the White Dragon World at all, and might even be better.
As the saying went, people should aim higher.
No matter what, the Spirit Central World was only a low-level dimension.
In the past, Qin Jue might not have cared so much. However, as he started to interact with higher realms, he gradually realized that a Great Sage Stage expert could only barely be considered as strong.
In a place like this, unless one had the destiny of a protagonist like Long Zhen, one would never have a chance to advance to the Great Void Stage. For most people, the Great Sage Stage was the end.
And even Long Zhen had stayed in the lower realm of the Great Void for thousands of years because of the environment restriction.
With the talent of Bai Ye and the others, they might not be considered much in that void. However the Heavenly Palace still had dozens of ancient True God Stage remnant souls. With their help, Bai Ye and the others would have nothing to worry about.
"Fine, but you have to give me some time."
After pondering for a moment, the First Elder nodded slightly.
The factions in Brilliance City were complicated and involved many people. Even if the First Elder wanted to "resign", it would at least take him ten days.
"No hurry." Qin Jue said indifferently.
"Does… that old man Bai Ye know about this?" As if recalling something, the First Elder asked hesitantly.
"Don't worry, I'll tell him."
Qin Jue stood up and said, "First Elder, rest well. I'll see you later."

Chapter 305: Absolutely No Problem!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Regarding the migration of the Xuanyi Mountain Sect, Qin Jue had only decided on it. As for when the plan would be implemented, it would depend on when the Heavenly Emperor would finish building the new Heavenly Palace.
Although it was easy for the Heavenly Emperor to do this with his divine ability, one had to remember that the Heavenly Emperor had just recovered and was still in the state of a remnant soul.
Before constructing the Heavenly Palace, he would definitely reconstruct his body first. Thus, it would take a long amount of time, so Qin Jue wasn't in a hurry.
Walking out of the courtyard where the First Elder lived, Qin Jue headed straight for the main hall. There, he saw Bai Ye sitting on the ground, fiddling with various heavenly treasures with a serious expression.
Above each heavenly treasure was a note, indicating the treasure's age, effect, and function. It seemed exceptionally professional.
"Ah, Junior Brother, you're here."
Bai Ye grinned and asked, "Is Old Wang alright?"
"He's fine."
Qin Jue took out a pot of spirit wine and indifferently said, "His body has already recovered, but his spirit hasn't. He'll be fine after resting for two days."
"Hu, then I'm relieved."
Bai Ye heaved a sigh of relief.
Originally, he was full of confidence in his pill this time and thought that it would definitely be fine. He wanted to give the First Elder a surprise, but he did not expect it to really become a "surprise".
"What are you doing?" Qin Jue pointed at the heavenly treasures on the ground and asked.
Most of these heavenly treasures were around level four. If they were placed in other factions in the Southern Land, they might be considered good things. However, to the current Xuanyi Mountain Sect or Bai Ye, they were only ordinary.
"Oh, these are the herbs needed to refine the Exploding Spirit Pill. I'm thinking of ways to improve the Exploding Spirit Pill." Bai Ye explained casually.
Qin Jue: "???"
Didn't you just say that you had already improved it and that there were no side effects?
Fortunately, the First Elder did not accept Bai Ye's "good intentions". Otherwise, he would probably have to fight it out with him again.
"Hehe, based on my observations over the past few days, I finally understand why I failed every time I refined pills in the past." Bai Ye said proudly.
"How can you tell?"
Qin Jue was rather curious.
Could it be that Bai Ye had really found the correct method to refine pills?
"Although I always follow every step of the pill formula without any mistakes, it's very easy for me to lose control of the fire during the fusion, causing the furnace to often explode or the medicinal effect to become strange."
Bai Ye spoke confidently with the bearing of a pill refinement grandmaster. "In other words, as long as I can master the fire control during the fusion, there will absolutely be no problem!"
Qin Jue :"…"
Qin Jue felt that it would be so simple.
If his only problem was fire control, then how did he manage to refine healing pills into laxatives?
Qin Jue clearly remembered that after a mountain-protecting fiend beast ate the medicinal pill refined by Bai Ye, it struggled for three days and three nights until it died.
Seeing Qin Jue's doubtful expression, Bai Ye immediately flew into a rage out of humiliation. "Hmph, I'll show you what true pill refinement is!"
As he spoke, a ball of transparent flames suddenly appeared in Bai Ye's palm. It looked like crystal, but it emitted a scorching temperature.
"This is… a Heavenly Flame?"
Qin Jue was surprised.
"That's right." Bai Ye said proudly. "I found this Heavenly Flame in the storage ring you gave me last night. It's called the 'crystal flame 'and can grow continuously. It's also at the fourth level. With it, I won't have to worry about losing control when the spirit medicine fuses."
Qin Jue :"…"
The storage ring Qin Jue gave Bai Ye when he returned from the Sacred Land of the Central Continent was from the Spirit Clan, one of the Twelve Sacred Clans. There were indeed a few Heavenly Flames inside. If Bai Ye hadn't taken it out, Qin Jue would have forgotten about it.
Wait, so the so-called control of fire was just changing flames?
The corner of Qin Jue's eyes twitched slightly. He felt that his senior brother was becoming more and more unreliable.
1
"Watch carefully."
Bai Ye didn't care about what Qin Jue was thinking. With a wave of his hand, a pitch-black pill furnace appeared in the main hall.
Hu.
In the next moment, under Bai Ye's control, the crystal-like flames instantly entered the pill furnace and lit up the surrounding runes.
Bai Ye flicked his finger, and the medicinal herbs on the ground immediately flew into the pill furnace one after another. They were refined by the crystal flames, leaving only pure energy.
With the help of the Heavenly Flame, Bai Ye's refining speed was indeed much faster than before. Not long after, the dozen or so medicinal herbs were all refined and began to fuse.
In order to prevent any accidents from happening and cause awkwardness, Bai Ye did not refine the Exploding Spirit Pill. Instead, he refined another grade four pill that was similar to the Exploding Spirit Pill.
The difference was that the formula for this medicinal pill was created by someone else.
"Hu…"
As the various spirit herb energies began to fuse, gusts of wind gradually sounded in the pill furnace. It was the collision caused by the energy fusion.
If Bai Ye was a high-level pill refiner, he could often use a special pill refinement technique to resolve this unnecessary collision. However, Bai Ye did not do this. Or rather, he did not care about this at all.
"It's over."
Qin Jue couldn't help but roll his eyes and hurriedly waved his hand to set up a barrier in front of him.
At the same time, Bai Ye's expression changed drastically as he screamed, "What's going on?"
Before he could finish his sentence, the pitch-black pill suddenly shook violently, erupting with violent energy fluctuations!
"Not good!"
Without any hesitation, Bai Ye's figure flashed, and he charged out of the hall in a very skilled manner!
Boom!
After the last collapse, Bai Ye had already built the main hall to be even sturdier. Therefore, even though the energy that erupted was comparable to a Heaven Stage expert's attack, it didn't cause any substantial damage to the main hall. Moreover, with Qin Jue around to make sure everything was alright, only a few balls of smelly black smoke floated out.
Several breaths later, Bai Ye, who discovered that the explosion didn't spread out, quietly ran into the main hall again. He met Qin Jue's faint smile and his face immediately flushed red in embarrassment.
"Senior Brother, didn't you say that it would definitely be fine this time?"
Qin Jue smiled.
"Ahem, this was just an accident."
Bai Ye calmly put away the pill furnace fragment and changed the topic. "You must have another purpose for coming to visit me, right?"
Qin Jue :"…"
Indeed, nothing had changed!
Bai Ye was still so unreliable!
Helpless, Qin Jue could only tell Bai Ye about the decision to move the Xuanyi Mountain Sect.
He naturally had to inform Bai Ye in advance. After all, Bai Ye was the sect master of the Xuanyi Mountain Sect.
"Heavenly Palace? Where is that?"
Bai Ye was surprised. He had never thought of moving to the Xuanyi Mountain Sect. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so indifferent about Brilliance City when he advanced to the Supreme Stage.
"A very powerful faction."
Qin Jue patiently said, "In short, going there will only benefit the Xuanyi Mountain Sect."
"But…"
After hearing Qin Jue's description, Bai Ye was still slightly hesitant. He had lived in the Spirit Central World for nearly a hundred years, so how could he accept Qin Jue's sudden decision to move the sect?
As if seeing through Bai Ye's inner thoughts, Qin Jue smiled and said, "Senior Brother, don't worry. I can construct a spatial passageway between the two places. You can travel freely and can return at any time."
To Qin Jue, constructing a spatial passageway could be said to be as easy as flipping his hand. Moreover, Qin Jue himself was a little unwilling to part with his cliff.
Hearing this, Bai Ye smiled.. "In that case, I agree."

Chapter 306: Goodbye Old Friend
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
During the day, the sky was clear and the wind was pleasant. Sunlight shone down, making it exceptionally warm.
"Shocking! The inner sect disciple of the Nine Nether Pavilion has defected and killed the holy son!"
"Half of the higher-ups of the Nine Nether Pavilion have been dispatched, but they still haven't found the traitor!"
"Unbelievable. The Legendary Stage Nine Nether Holy Son was actually killed by a Supreme Stage inner sect disciple!"
"…"
As soon as Qin Jue opened the spirit tablet, he saw overwhelming news being updated, all of which were in striking red words, giving Qin Jue a fright.
"What's going on?"
Strictly speaking, it had been several months since Qin Jue had used the spirit tablet. If it weren't for the fact that he was a little bored today, he probably wouldn't have thought of using this thing.
Because it was a spirit tablet given to him by Long Zhen, most of the news inside were about the Sacred Land of the Central Continent.
Among them, the Nine Nether Pavilion was a top faction only inferior to the Eight Great Sacred Lands in the Central Continent. It had two Grand Saint Stage experts holding down the fort. If not for its lack of foundation, it would have already replaced the Spirit Clan and become the new twelfth Sacred Clan.
Now, an inner sect disciple had suddenly defected and killed the holy son. It could be imagined how explosive the news was.
Of course, this wasn't the main point. The main point was that Qin Jue saw a familiar name in the news about the defected disciple.
Shi Tian.
Qin Jue pondered for a moment, his expression slightly stunned. Could it be that youth from Stone Village?
As he continued to read, Qin Jue suddenly understood.
Although the Nine Nether Pavilion tried their best to hide it, the news was still dug out by some top factions with the backing of the Eight Great Sacred Lands.
Three months ago, an elder of the Nine Nether Pavilion who was out traveling suddenly brought a youth back. After checking the youth's cultivation, they realized that he had a super strong cultivation talent. Therefore, tbis youth directly skipped many procedures and became the last disciple of that elder.
As for the youth, it was none other than Shi Tian, who had just escaped from the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
In the next two months, Shi Tianyong improved greatly, increasing his cultivation rapidly. In the end, he stepped into the late-phase of the Supreme Stage, shocking the Nine Nether Pavilion.
At this speed, if nothing went wrong, he might even advance to the Saint Stage within half a year!
Therefore, sensing the danger, the Nine Nether Holy Son began to make things difficult for Shi Tian. He even mobilized the forces of the outside world to assassinate Shi Tian!
This kind of situation was actually very common among many large factions. After all, it was only natural for other disciples to get jealous and try to inflict harm.
The only difference was that the Nine Nether Holy Son had messed with the wrong person!
After all, Shi Tian was someone who had the destiny of a protagonist. How could he be killed so easily?
In the end, the Nine Nether Holy Son was miserably killed and died without a grave.
On the other hand, not only had Shi Tian successfully escaped, but even the Nine Nether Pavilion failed to find him.
However, in Qin Jue's opinion, even if the Nine Nether Pavilion found Shi Tian, he believed that they wouldn't do anything to him. They might even make him the new holy son.
One had to know that this was a world where the strong were respected, and dead people were worthless.
No matter how powerful the Nine Nether Holy Son was when he was alive, he was already dead. Despite his strength, he was still killed by a youth whose cultivation was lower than his. As long as the higher-ups of the Nine Nether Pavilion were not idiots, they would definitely not attack Shi Tian.
Unfortunately, Shi Tian did not think of this and chose to flee.
However, as someone with the destiny of a protagonist, Shi Tian seemed to have done what he was supposed to do. If the higher-ups of the Nine Nether Pavilion ended up offending Shi Tian because of this, it was not impossible for them to be destroyed by Shi Tian, who will definitely make a comeback in the future.
Qin Jue wondered how Shi Tian would feel when he finally met Chen Beixuan one day.
Shaking his head with a bitter smile, Qin Jue glanced over and saw a familiar name.
The Divine Martial Empire's monarch, Li Qiye, had launched a large-scale war and launched a surprise attack from thousands of kilometers away. He defeated the enemy army and successfully annexed the Star Dou Empire, shocking the entire world.
Although compared to the Nine Nether Pavilion, the Divine Martial Empire could only be considered a middle-tier faction, the talent that Li Qiye displayed was not inferior to those geniuses from the Sacred Lands. In the future, he would definitely be able to stand at the peak of the Spirit Central World.
Turning off the spirit tablet, Qin Jue sighed with emotion. With the rise of so many "protagonists", those old factions would start facing a lot of trouble.
However, speaking of which, the Spirit Central World was clearly only a low-level dimension. How was it possible for so many "protagonists" to appear one after another?
First, it was Long Zhen. Then, it was Li Qiye, Shi Tian, Chen Beixuan… There were so many of them they could even play a game of mahjong together.
Of course, the most exaggerated one was still Qin Jue himself. If an ordinary "protagonist" could be said to rise with the speed of a rocket, then Qin Jue could basically be seen as a hacker with completely unreasonable strength.
Thinking of this, Qin Jue couldn't help but laugh. Just as he was about to get up and cook something to eat, Wu Ying walked over from afar.
"Uncle-Master, there's someone outside looking for you."
After Luo Xun's many guidance, Wu Ying was clearly much stronger than before. He was only half a step away from the Heaven Stage and looked rather reliable.
"Someone's looking for me?"
Qin Jue was stunned. Could it be Shen Zhiwen?
In the entire Southern Land, besides the members of the Xuanyi Mountain Sect and Su Yan, Qin Jue only knew the middle-age youth, Shen Zhiwen. Su Yan had a teleportation passageway, so there was no need for her to come in from the outside.
Therefore, Qin Jue could only think of Shen Zhiwen.
"Yes, he's a very cute youth. But because I've never seen him before, I didn't let him follow me in."
Wu Ying pondered.
Qin Jue frowned after hearing this. Coupled with the news he had just seen, an unbelievable idea suddenly appeared in his heart. He immediately spread out his spirit sense and locked onto his target.
Indeed!
Qin Jue rolled his eyes and his face darkened. He didn't understand how this youth had arrived here.
In Qin Jue's spirit sense, a slightly tender youth in beast skin was standing outside the Xuanyi Mountain Sect, curiously observing the surrounding environment without any fear.
Although the youth had changed greatly after half a year and his cultivation had also reached the Supreme Stage, Qin Jue still recognized him at a glance. It was none other than Shi Tian!
Sighing, Qin Jue waved his hand lightly, and the youth immediately passed through space and arrived at the cliff.
"Ah!"
The youth screamed and hurriedly assumed a defensive posture, preparing to enter a combat state at any moment.
"Brother Qin?"
In the next moment, the youth was overjoyed. "I finally found you!"
"…"
"Why are you looking for me?"
Qin Jue was speechless.
"Didn't Brother Qin say that I could come and find you one day?"
The youth was stunned and revealed a blank expression.
Qin Jue :"…"
He did seem to have said this before. However, he should have only told the youth that he was in the Southern Land.
"Ahem, what I mean is, how did you find me?"
Qin Jue hurriedly changed his words.
"Your smell."
Hearing this, the youth pointed at his nose and said proudly, "My nose can distinguish anything, including Brother Qin's smell."
Qin Jue :"…"
Qin Jue was baffled.
It almost sounded as if Qin Jue had bad body odor.
"By the way, I brought Brother Qin a gift."
Without waiting for Qin Jue to react, the youth suddenly took out a large piece of beast meat from his storage ring. Because he had grown up in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, food was the most precious gift in the youth's eyes.
Qin Jue :"…"

Chapter 307: Heaven Ascension Gate
Hu.
The flames burned, emitting a blazing temperature. A few drops of oil fell, emitting sizzling sounds.
Qin Jue sat on the blue stone and raised his hand. With a wave of his hand, he cut the huge beast meat into several pieces and distributed them to Shi Tian, Yun Xi, and the distant husky. Finally, he gave a piece of meat to himself.
As for Long Zhui, the arrogance in his bones made it very difficult for him to accept food made from low-level fiend beast meat. Moreover, ever since he returned, Long Zhui had been cultivating, so Qin Jue didn't care about him.
"Smells good!"
Yun Xi couldn't help but praise.
It had been a long time since Yun Xi had eaten a Supreme Stage fiend beast!
Although Shi Tian was only at the Supreme Stage, the beast meat he brought was also at the Supreme Stage. Moreover, the important part was not damaged at all. He had insta-killed the fiend beast.
No wonder he could defeat the holy son of the Nine Nether Pavilion.
With Shi Tian's current strength, he could basically defeat anyone in the same realm except for Yun Xi.
One had to know that Yun Xi possessed the inheritance of the Heavenly Emperor and would definitely be able to step into the Half God Stage in the future. On the other hand, Shi Tian basically had nothing. Just how terrifying was his talent?
Perhaps this was what it was like to have the destiny of a protagonist.
"What's going on with the Nine Nether Pavilion?" Qin Jue took a bite of the beast meat and asked.
"Brother Qin, have you also heard about it?"
Shi Tian was surprised.
"Yeah."
Qin Jue nodded slightly.
Although there were many reports on the Spiritnet, many details were omitted, especially since the Nine Nether Pavilion had deliberately concealed it.
As one of the people involved, Shi Tian was undoubtedly the person with the most information.
"Hmph, that so-called holy son went too far. Not only did he target me every time, but he even hired assassins to assassinate me. If I hadn't sensed the danger in advance, I would have died long ago."
Shi Tian gritted his teeth and said, "I originally thought that he would give up after the assassination failed. In the end, he pushed his luck and actually ambushed me while training!"
A Legendary Stage expert had ambushed a Supreme Stage expert. It could be seen how worried the Nine Nether Holy Son was about his status.
"After that… I just killed him!"
At this point, Shi Tian's eyes flickered and he was exceptionally calm. "After I killed him, to avoid the pursuit of the Nine Nether Pavilion, I had no choice but to flee into the Demon Beast Mountain Range. I took a long detour before arriving at the Southern Land."
"…"
After hearing Shi Tian's description, Qin Jue was rather speechless. As expected of a youth who had walked out of the Demonic Beast Mountain Range. His style of doing things was indeed unrestrained, without any fear.
If it were anyone else who provoked the Nine Nether Pavilion, they would probably wish for nothing more than to find a hole to hide in and never come out again.
"Why did you join the Nine Nether Pavilion?" Qin Jue asked again.
"Master brought me there."
At the mention of his master, Shi Tian sighed. "I wonder how Master is doing."
It turned out that not long after leaving the Demon Beast Mountain Range, Shi Tian had encountered an elder of the Nine Nether Pavilion.
At that time, because he had accidentally provoked a faction, Shi Tian was besieged by more than ten Heaven Stage experts. The situation was critical, and it was the elder from the Nine Nether Pavilion who saved him.
Under the lead of that Nine Nether Pavilion elder, not only did Shi Tian join the Nine Nether Pavilion, but he also directly became his master's last disciple. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to break through continuously in such a short period of time and reach the late-phase of the Supreme Stage.
Therefore, Shi Tian respected his master very much.
"I see."
Qin Jue suddenly understood what had happened.
"If they dare to make things difficult for Master, I will definitely not let them off!" Shi Tian said angrily.
Qin Jue :"…"
It seemed like the Nine Nether Sect would be in trouble in the future.
"…"
After a moment of silence, Shi Tian adjusted his emotions and said, "Actually, I came to the Southern Land to find Brother Qin for another matter."
"What is it?"
Qin Jue was curious.
Shi Tian didn't answer. Instead, he directly took out a map and placed it in front of Qin Jue.
This map looked somewhat old. It was unknown what material it was made of, but every path on it was very clear. At the center was a red circle with four small words: Heaven Ascension Gate.
"Heaven Ascension Gate? What is this?"
Qin Jue was puzzled.
"This is what Village Chief handed to me before he left. Village Chief said that this is an ancient ruins that contains ultimate power." Shi Tian explained.
Ancient ruins? Ultimate power?
Qin Jue's expression was strange as he faintly said, "In that case, aren't you afraid that I'll kill you and snatch this map?"
"No."
Shi Tian shook his head without hesitation. "Brother Qin is so handsome. You're definitely not a bad person!"
Qin Jue :"…"
What kind of logic was that?
However, on second thought, Shi Tian seemed to have said something similar the last time they met. Indeed, nothing had changed.
"Do you know where this red dot is marked on the map?"
Seeing that the other party trusted him so much, Qin Jue couldn't say anything else.
However, Qin Jue didn't care much about the so-called ancient ruins and ultimate power.
After all, the times were improving, and so was the Martial Dao. Everyone was becoming stronger, so how could there be a fixed ultimate power?
Unless the spirit qi suddenly dried up or a cataclysm occurred.
However, the Spirit Central World had never experienced such a thing.
Strictly speaking, this should be the most powerful era in the history of the Spirit Central World. How strong could the "ultimate power" contained in the ancient ruins be?
"I don't know."
Shi Tian shook his head without hesitation again.
Qin Jue :"…"
"But it should be in the Southern Land." Shi Tian continued.
"How can you tell?"
"I can smell it."
Shi Tian pointed at his nose.
"???"
Qin Jue was simply baffled.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes!"
Qin Jue :"…"
"Cough cough, I'll try injecting some spirit energy first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Jue flicked his finger, and a golden light bloomed like raindrops on the map.
"It's useless. I've tried this method before. There was no reaction," Shi Tian said helplessly.
"Really?"
Qin Jue didn't think much of it and continued to circulate his spirit energy into the map.
Buzz!
Not long after, the originally gray and old map suddenly lit up with lights that soared into the sky!
"What's happening?"
Shi Tian was shocked. He had injected spirit energy into the map several times, but there was no reaction. Could it be because his spirit energy was too weak?
Without waiting for Shi Tian to figure it out, the light in the sky suddenly distorted slightly, changing as it pointed in a direction.
"That should be the location of the Ancient Ruins, right?" Qin Jue looked over and said meaningfully.
Pu.
Before Shi Tian could react, the light had already dissipated, and the map had returned to its old and gray appearance.
"…"
"Don't worry, I know where it is."
Qin Jue said indifferently, "I'll take you there after we finish eating."
"Oh."
Only then did Shi Tian remember that he was still holding a piece of beast meat in his hand. He hurriedly wolfed it down.
Not long after, Qin Jue was full. He clapped his hands and said, "Let's go."
"Yes."
Shi Tian hurriedly stood up and followed behind Qin Jue.
"Me too!"
Yun Xi hugged Qin Jue, unwilling to be left out.
Swoosh!
In the next second, the three of them disappeared from their original spots.

Chapter 308: Spirit Extinguishing Sea
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Spirit Central World, Southern Land.
Just as Shi Tian had said, the location indicated on the map was indeed in the Southern Land. However, it was a very remote place that was already close to the border of the Spirit Central World.
Everywhere one looked, one could almost see the raging void storm and turbulence. Bolts of lightning struck down, making one feel fearful.
Swoosh!
Space distorted as Qin Jue and Shi Tian instantly appeared in this area. Yun Xi lay on Qin Jue's shoulder, her little face full of curiosity.
"Is this the place marked on the map?"
Shi Tian was stunned.
"That's right."
Qin Jue put his hands behind his back and smiled. "It's right below."
Because this area was close to the edge of the Spirit Central World, it caused the spirit qi to be scarce, causing one to be unable to cultivate here at all. Moreover, it was filled with danger. If one was careless, one would be swept away by the spatial turbulence and die.
Therefore, even Supreme Stage experts were unwilling to come unless necessary.
Shi Tian lowered his head and looked over. He only saw an ocean that was boundless. There was nothing else.
"This is the Spirit Extinguishing Sea of the Southern Land."
Qin Jue faintly said, "Once you enter, your spirit energy will be greatly reduced and you will lose control. How about it? Are you afraid?"
The Spirit Extinguishing Sea could be said to be one of the most dangerous forbidden places in the Southern Land. It was even more terrifying than the Death Spirit Valley.
After all, there were only high-level fiend beasts in the depths of the Death Spirit Valley. As long as one did not intentionally court death, one would be fine.
On the other hand, the Spirit Extinguishing Sea was different. Cultivators below the Supreme Stage were simply unable to fly from above.
In addition, if one soaked in the Spirit Extinguishing Sea for too long, their spirit energy would gradually lose control, eventually breaking through their internal organs and erupting.
This was also the most terrifying part of the Spirit Extinguishing Sea.
To low-level cultivators, falling into the Spirit Extinguishing Sea was almost equivalent to death.
"I'm not afraid!"
Shi Tian shook his head firmly and conjured a spirit energy barrier. He was fearless and was prepared to enter the Spirit Extinguishing Sea at any moment.
Seeing this, Qin Jue didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. "Let me help you."
As he spoke, a golden light suddenly shot out from Qin Jue's fingertip and enveloped Shi Tian, dazzling like glass.
Although Shi Tian could jump ranks to defeat the Nine Nether Pavilion's holy son, who was at the Legendary Stage, he was still only a Supreme Stage expert. If he stayed in the Spirit Extinguishing Sea for too long, he would most likely die.
With this layer of golden light protecting him, even if Shi Tian lived in the Spirit Extinguishing Sea from now on, he would not be affected at all.
"Thank you, Brother Qin."
Shi Tian was overjoyed.
Although he didn't know what realm Qin Jue was at, before he arrived at the Xuanyi Mountain Sect, Shi Tian had already heard that the Xuanyi Mountain Sect was the holy land of the Southern Land.
Coupled with the fact that Qin Jue had easily activated the map just now without any sluggishness, Shi Tian speculated that Qin Jue was very likely a Saint Stage expert!
He believed that the spirit energy shield of a Saint Stage expert would definitely ensure his safety!
After doing this, Qin Jue enveloped himself with golden light again before lightly landing in the Spirit Extinguishing Sea.
As soon as he entered the Spirit Extinguishing Sea, a strong binding force gathered from all directions and smashed onto Qin Jue's body from all directions. Fortunately, the golden light was sufficiently firm. Not only was it able to nullify the effects of the Spirit Extinguishing Sea, but there were also no fluctuations inside.
"Coo."
Witnessing this scene, Shi Tian gulped. He instantly had a new understanding of Qin Jue's strength.
"Brother Qin, where is the Heaven Ascension Gate?"
After hesitating for a moment, Shi Tian could not help but ask.
"At the bottom." Qin Jue answered.
Therefore, the two of them continued to go deeper, and their surroundings gradually darkened. During this time, various strange creatures swam past from afar, but none of them dared to approach them, as if they were afraid of the golden light.
The strange thing was that the lower one went, the lighter the spirit energy restriction was. Towards the end, the restrictions almost disappeared and were replaced by extremely dense spirit energy. It was simply inconceivable.
Just as the two of them passed 50 kilometers and were about to approach the bottom of the sea, a light suddenly lit up from the darkness and shot towards the two of them!
Hu!
Wherever the light passed, the seawater boiled. The few unlucky undersea creatures were directly melted by the light, leaving nothing behind.
"Not good, Brother Qin, dodge!"
Sensing danger, Shi Tian's figure swayed and he hurriedly retreated.
The reason why Shi Tian was able to remain unscathed after being ambushed by the Nine Nether Pavilion's holy son was largely because he could foresee danger and could act decisively.
His intuition told him that he could not withstand the power contained in this light!
However, Qin Jue seemed to not have heard Shi Tian's words. He still stood motionless in place, as if nothing had happened.
Pu!
Finally, the light hit Qin Jue. However, Qin Jue's golden light only flickered slightly. It had actually blocked it!
"How is this possible?"
Shi Tian was dumbfounded. He subconsciously looked at the golden light beside him. Was Qin Jue's golden light so powerful?
"How dare you, arrogant bastards! How dare you barge into the Sacred Tomb! Considering that your cultivation is pretty good, I advise you to leave quickly. Otherwise, I'll kill you without mercy!"
In the darkness, a vast and dignified voice sounded. It approached from afar, piercing through gold and splitting stone!
As the last word fell, a creature with a human upper body and a fish lower body suddenly appeared in front of Qin Jue and Shi Tian. He was covered in scales and held a long halberd. His appearance could not be seen clearly, only its two scarlet pupils were exposed, giving off a sinister and terrifying feeling.
Not only that, but there were thousands of similar-looking creatures behind him, each holding a weapon. They quickly surrounded Qin Jue and Qin Jue, as if they would attack if Qin Jue chose to stay.
"Merfolk?"
Qin Jue's expression was slightly strange. He didn't expect there to be merfolk in the Spirit Extinguishing Sea!
Of course, that was not the main point. The main point was that the leading merfolk had actually reached the Saint Stage!
Who would have thought that there would be a Saint Stage expert in the Spirit Extinguishing Sea at the edge of the Southern Land?
If even the guards outside were at the Saint Stage, then how strong were the cultivators inside?
Qin Jue pondered and realized that things might not be as simple as he thought.
"Human, leave quickly. This is not a place you should be!" The leading merfolk shouted angrily.
"Sacred Tomb…"
Qin Jue muttered to himself and then smiled. "Interesting."
"Brother Qin, what should we do?"
Shi Tian took out a fiend beast bone and waited solemnly.
Hearing this, Qin Jue didn't answer but raised his hand.
In an instant, golden light bloomed and spread out continuously, suppressing all the "merfolk" present and making them unable to move.
It was very normal for there to be guardians outside the ruins, so Qin Jue didn't make things difficult for them and only suppressed them.
Unless they wanted to court death.
"Hmm, what happened?"
The leading merfolk was shocked, and his scarlet pupils were filled with panic.
"Stop! You can't approach the Sacred Tomb…"
Before he could finish his sentence, the merfolk felt his mouth turn cold and was directly sealed in place by spirit energy!
Qin Jue didn't even look at the other party and quickly landed at the bottom of the sea.
"This is…"
Shi Tian was surprised. Under their feet, a strange-looking stone stood silently. There were many runes carved on it. It was unknown how many years had passed, but it was still clearly visible and complicated.
"Heaven Ascension Gate.." Qin Jue said indifferently.

Chapter 309: Ancient Ruins
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the dark seabed, water surged, cold and bone-chilling. A few ugly creatures seemed to sense something and quickly burrowed into the soil and disappeared.
In the distance, two balls of golden light were faintly discernible, as if they would be extinguished at any moment. However, they gave off an extremely reassuring feeling.
The light appeared more stabilized up close. Within the two balls of golden light was Qin Jue and Shi Tian.
At this moment, the two of them were standing on a stone that was about ten meters in diameter. There was nothing else nearby, so the stone seemed exceptionally out of place.
It was obvious that this stone in front of him was definitely related to the Heaven Ascension Gate. Moreover, Qin Jue could sense a faint spirit qi fluctuation from the stone.
The stone was square in shape, like a boxing ring. All kinds of strange runes were carved on it, changing unpredictably and unpredictably.
Logically speaking, the Spirit Central World in the ancient era should not have had runes. Even if it did, it would not have been so complicated.
However, these runes were abnormally obscure and inconceivable.
One had to know that the runes had only started coming into use tens of thousands of years ago. After tens of thousands of years of evolution, they had finally reached their current level of complexity.
How could there be such complicated runes in the ancient era?
Unless this stone did not belong to the Spirit Central World or the runes were done by an expert from the outside world.
Coupled with the "sacred tomb" the merfolk mentioned just now, perhaps this was the tomb of an expert from the outside world?
Pu!
At this moment, a black figure suddenly shot out of the soil not far away at an incomparably fast speed, heading straight for Qin Jue.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
When the black figure touched the golden light, he immediately melted like snow and ice. The figure erupted with a scream and disappeared.
"What is it?"
Shi Tian had a shocked expression. He did not notice at all.
"Nothing. Just a reckless little thing." Qin Jue said casually.
Shi Tian :"…"
Although Qin Jue said it casually, Shi Tian knew that if that black figure had chosen to attack him just now and he didn't have the golden light to protect himself, he would have died.
For the first time, Shi Tian felt so weak. Even when he faced the pavilion master of the Nine Nether Pavilion and a Saint Stage expert, he had never felt this way.
It was only at this moment that Shi Tian realized that Qin Jue's strength far surpassed his imagination!
"Show me the map."
Qin Jue didn't care what Shi Tian was thinking and ordered.
"Yes."
Shi Tian was stunned and hurriedly took out the map.
Qin Jue took the map and observed for a moment before coming to the center of the stone platform.
"Eh, there's a gap here."
Shi Tian was shocked.
The runes on the stone platform that were closer to the center were all broken, as if they had been cut open by a blade. It was very strange.
"Yeah, the gap is this map."
Qin Jue waved his hand lightly, and the map immediately lightly landed on the gap. It landed perfectly, and even the lines drawn on the map were connected to the runes.
Buzz!
In the next moment, the map lit up with a dazzling light again. With that red circle as the source, it spread out in all directions. Wherever it passed, every rune was activated and quickly spread to the entire stone platform!
Rumble!
The Spirit Extinguishing Sea shook, startling countless living beings and raising shocking waves.
The expressions of the merfolk experts suppressed by the golden light changed drastically when they saw this scene.
"The Sacred Tomb has opened!"
"Dammit! Those two humans actually have keys!"
"No, we have to stop them!"
"…"
In an instant, everyone activated their spirit energy in an attempt to break free.
Unfortunately, not to mention that they were only Supreme Stage and Legendary Stage experts, even the strongest Saint Stage leader would not be able to succeed.
Rumble!
As the runes on the stone platform were all activated, the stone platform that had been "embedded" for an unknown period of time suddenly spun!
Seeing this, Qin Jue frowned and immediately grabbed Shi Tian and flew up.
"What's happening?"
Shi Tian was puzzled.
"The Heaven Ascension Gate is about to open."
Before he could finish his sentence, intense spatial fluctuations suddenly spread out, forming countless hurricanes and turbulence, tearing space apart. It was incomparably terrifying.
Fortunately, the two of them retreated in time and were not affected.
Although Qin Jue had the golden light protecting him and did not have to worry about being injured by the hurricane and turbulence, Qin Jue was still worried. After all, if he was accidentally swept into a spatial rift, he would very likely be teleported elsewhere.
Qin Jue might not be affected, but Shi Tian would be in trouble.
Seeing that the "Door to Heaven" was about to open, another black figure shot out from below. However, the black figure was targeting Shi Tian this time!
Chi! Chi! Chi!
However, this black figure faced the same outcome as the previous black figure.
From beginning to end, Shi Tian did not manage to see what these black figures looked like.
Pu! Pu! Pu!
However, what followed was like a fuse that was lit. More and more black figures flew out and shot towards the two of them from all directions, as if they were moths to a flame and were fearless of death.
Clearly, these black figures were the protectors of the "Sacred Tomb" just like the merfolk above.
Qin Jue lightly stomped his foot, and the black figures that filled the sky immediately froze in midair. This time, Shi Tian finally saw what they looked like.
They were nothing like the creatures he had seen before. They were only the size of a finger, and their bodies were covered in a layer of scales. They were also covered in spikes that were extremely sharp and flickered with a cold light.
Such a small thing could actually erupt with such powerful strength?
1
How could she not be interested in a level twelve spirit herb, the Profound Yin Grass?
2
At the same time, the surging seawater suddenly calmed down, and the spatial fluctuations gradually shrank until they finally dissipated.
As for the stone platform, it had become a spatial gate about ten meters in diameter. No one knew where the other end led to.
"Let's go."
Qin Jue put his hands behind his back and lightly flew into the spatial gate, disappearing.
Shi Tian hesitated for a few seconds and hurriedly followed.
Hu.
As soon as the two of them entered, the spatial door slowly closed and transformed back into the stone platform, as if nothing had happened.
…
After passing through the spatial gate, the first thing that greeted Qin Jue's eyes was a vast land with no end in sight. Apart from the mountains and forests, there were no buildings. It was simply like an abandoned wasteland.
The only difference was that the spirit qi here was extremely dense. Even when compared to the White Dragon Race, it was not at all inferior!
Qin Jue was rather surprised by this. Afterall, the White Dragon World was an impressive place.
It was one of the most powerful factions in the Inner Realm and had a True God Stage expert holding down the fort!
On the other hand, the Spirit Central World, excluding Qin Jue and Long Zhen, could at most be considered a low-level dimension. How could some ancient ruins from the Spirit Central World be comparable to the White Dragon World?
It seemed that the so-called ancient ruins did not belong to the Spirit Central World after all.
Thinking of this, Qin Jue looked down and found that he was standing on an identical stone platform. He raised his arm, and the map in the center instantly fell into his hand.
Now, what Qin Jue was most puzzled about was how the village chief had obtained this map.
"Argh!"
Beside him, Shi Tian felt dizzy. It took him a while to adapt. "Brother Qin, where are we?"
"Inside the ancient ruins."
"Huh?"
Shi Tian blinked his eyes in confusion as he looked around.
He felt that the ancient ruins didn't look like anything special.
However, he could tell that the spirit qi here was very dense.. Shi Tian almost couldn't help but sit cross-legged and cultivate.

Chapter 310: The Secret of the Ruins
Hu.
A cool breeze blew past, stirring the grass and making it sway gently.
The so-called ancient ruins were actually just a small world. It was just that it was far bigger than the Wuji Mystic Realm.
Qin Jue spread out his spirit sense and roughly estimated that this "ancient ruins" was almost the size of the Spirit Central World. Moreover, the environment was even more beautiful, and there were even living beings here.
Who exactly could create such a huge small world and leave it in the Spirit Central World as a tomb?
A True God Stage expert?
Why would an expert of that level bother leaving the entrance in the Spirit Central World?
Qin Jue was puzzled.
"Brother Qin, what should we do next?" Shi Tian asked carefully.
This was the first time Shi Tian had truly left the Spirit Central World. Therefore, he could not help but be afraid.
"Let's go take a look over there."
After pondering for a moment, Qin Jue tapped the stone platform with the tip of his foot and flew in a direction.
Although this small world was abnormally vast and contained countless heavenly treasures, buildings were extremely rare. At this moment, Qin Jue was headed towards a ruined palace.
As for the map, Qin Jue temporarily put it away. After all, he still needed to use it when he returned.
"Hiss, what dense spirit qi. Master, there must be many delicious things here!"
Yun Xi lay on Qin Jue's shoulder, her eyes shining, and crystal saliva couldn't help but flow from the corner of her mouth.
According to Yun Xi's deduction, wherever the spirit qi was dense, there would definitely be delicacies!
Qin Jue :"…"
Qin Jue wondered if Yun Xi ever thought about anything other than food.
"Ahem, let's talk about that after we're done."
Qin Jue was helpless. After all, he was the one who agreed to take Yun Xi in as his disciple.
In addition, Qin Jue had indeed seen many high-level fiend beasts and spirit herbs just now, so he did not refuse Yun Xi directly.
"Sure!"
Yun Xi nodded and was filled with anticipation.
"Master, be careful!" Suddenly, Yun Xi reminded.
Boom!
The ground shook and countless rocks cracked open. Then a huge object covered in a black carapace rushed out from the ground and smashed into Qin Jue with a shrill sound!
Crack!
With a crisp sound, the huge black object was immediately sent flying at an even faster speed, creating a huge pit on the ground. Its carapace cracked inch by inch and blue blood flowed out. Its entire body directly changed from a three-dimensional to a flat surface, deader than dead.
"…"
What the hell was that?
Qin Jue focused his eyes and found that it was a strange creature very similar to a beetle. The difference was that its body was thousands of times bigger than a beetle. If it were an ordinary cultivator, they would probably have been smashed into meat paste by this creature.
"Hu, that scared me."
Yun Xi heaved a sigh of relief.
"You can see it?"
With Yun Xi's strength at the Supreme Stage, it should be impossible for her to notice this "beetle".
"Hehe, doesn't Master remember?"
Yun Xi pointed at her left eye and smiled. "I can see through spirit energy."
Hearing this, Qin Jue suddenly understood.
He almost forgot that after obtaining the inheritance of the Heavenly Emperor, Yun Xi could see through any spirit energy. It wasn't strange for her to be able to notice the beetles.
"Master, can this big fellow be eaten?"
Yun Xi stared at the "beetle" below and gulped.
"No, it's too disgusting."
Qin Jue hurriedly shook his head.
Qin Jue wasn't interested in any "insect" food.
"Alright then."
Yun Xi was slightly disappointed.
Qin Jue :"…"
Beside him, Shi Tian was silent and subconsciously approached Qin Jue.
It couldn't be helped. This world was too dangerous. Who knew if another similar beetle would jump out and kill him later?
Shi Tian was not confident that he could resolve it alone.
Under Qin Jue's lead, the two of them quickly arrived at the ruined palace. As far as the eye could see, there were broken walls and dilapidated buildings everywhere.
Many buildings had already collapsed and were overgrown with weeds. The buildings did not look like a "Sacred Tomb" at all.
Seeing this scene, the corner of Shi Tian's eyes twitched slightly.
Shouldn't the ancient ruins be filled with spirit qi and treasures everywhere?
Let alone treasures, even iron swords could not be seen here.
Had they gone to the wrong place?
"There's no need to doubt it. This is the location of the ancient ruins, and it's relatively 'complete'."
As if seeing through Shi Tian's inner thoughts, Qin Jue explained.
Although there were only a few ruined buildings here, most of them were still rather mysterious. Otherwise, Qin Jue wouldn't have chosen this place.
"…"
"Could the ultimate power Village Chief mentioned be fake?"
Shi Tian sighed.
"No, it's real." Qin Jue said indifferently.
"What?"
Shi Tian was stunned, thinking that he had misheard.
"I sense a very powerful spirit energy fluctuation."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Jue took a step forward and instantly appeared outside a palace, revealing a thoughtful expression.
Seeing this, Shi Tian hurriedly followed and asked, "What's wrong, Brother Qin?"
"That spirit energy fluctuation is inside."
Compared to other buildings, the palace in front of him was undoubtedly somewhat special. Not only was the door tightly shut, but only a few walls had fallen off. It was extremely sturdy.
Coupled with the surrounding environment and decorations, this palace clearly had more to it.
What puzzled Qin Jue was that the spirit energy fluctuation was clearly lifeless. However, he could still sense it. What was going on?
Qin Jue couldn't be bothered to think too much about it. He raised his hand and punched.
Buzz!
In an instant, hundreds of array formations were activated, enveloping the palace in an attempt to stop Qin Jue.
No wonder this palace was so sturdy. It turned out that it was protected by an array formation. Unfortunately, the array formation had encountered Qin Jue.
Boom!
The fist wind swept over like a wave, instantly destroying all the array formations and crushing the palace door!
Immediately after, an indescribable smell spread out. Before it could approach the two of them, Qin Jue waved his hand and blew it away.
Then, they saw a man with his eyes closed sitting on the throne at the end of the hall!
The man had a head of white hair and was as thin as a match. His eyes, nose, and mouth were all bleeding with frozen blood, looking sinister and terrifying!
Of course, that was not the main point. The main point was that there was a sword stabbed into the man's chest. It directly pierced through his body and the throne, emitting endless killing intent!
It was obvious that the man was already dead. However, the spirit energy in his body was sealed by the sword and had not dispersed. This was the reason why Qin Jue felt that it was lifeless.
"What a powerful pressure."
As the array formation was destroyed, Shi Tian also began to gradually sense the spirit energy fluctuations on the man's body. His breathing became sluggish.
Even though the man had been dead for countless years, Shi Tian could not help but tremble!
Just as Shi Tian was about to collapse from the pressure, the golden light from before bloomed again. The suffocating pressure immediately disappeared.
Qin Jue didn't continue to care about Shi Tian and directly walked into the palace.
Buzz!
Hundreds of array formations were activated again, but this time, it was not defensive array formations but offensive array formations!
Swoosh!
In the empty palace, sword lights appeared and shot towards Qin Jue from all directions. Wherever they passed, space would be torn open!

Chapter 311: Revival!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Rip!"
Space tore as countless blue sword lights appeared out of thin air. Then, with incomparable destructive power, they charged towards Qin Jue!
Shi Tian, who had just entered the palace, was frightened out of his wits when he saw this scene. He hurriedly retreated.
As stated previously, Shi Tian was good at sensing danger ahead of time. To him, the blue sword light was basically a death sentence. Once he was hit, he would definitely die!
At the same time, the blue sword light had already formed a roaring dragon that fell on Qin Jue from all directions!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
As it approached Qin Jue, the blue sword light was blocked by Qin Jue's invisible barrier and shattered into pieces. It was completely unable to cause any damage to Qin Jue.
However, these sword light fragments didn't dissipate just like that. Instead, they condensed again and continued to attack Qin Jue. The power became stronger and stronger each time.
"Interesting."
Qin Jue smiled with interest.
He had never seen such an array formation before. At this rate, even experts above the seventh realm of the Great Void Stage would start to struggle.
From this, it could be seen that the person who set up the array formation had very likely reached the tenth realm of the Great Void Stage or even the Half God Stage.
"Since that's the case…"
Qin Jue lightly stomped his foot, and the entire palace immediately shook three times. Several loud bangs sounded, deafening. It was the sound of the array formation's foundation exploding.
The blue sword light that was constantly descending suddenly froze in the air before turning into countless specks of light that dissipated.
At this point, the array formations inside and outside the palace had all been destroyed by Qin Jue, and nothing was left behind.
After doing this, Qin Jue patted Yun Xi's head and walked towards the throne.
Although it was unknown how many years the man on the throne had died, his powerful spirit energy fluctuation still made one's heart palpitate. It was as if he would open his eyes and wake up at any moment.
Clang!
Suddenly, the sword inserted in the man's chest let out a cry, emitting endless killing intent, as if warning Qin Jue not to get any closer.
Without a doubt, this was a weapon that had already produced an artifact spirit. As for its level, Qin Jue didn't know.
However, what was certain was that it absolutely surpassed a sacred artifact.
Qin Jue didn't care about this and continued to walk towards the throne.
So what if it was a divine artifact?
Clang!
Seeing that Qin Jue didn't retreat, the sword immediately released an even stronger killing intent, directly condensing several sword qi to stop Qin Jue.
Pu.
Without waiting for these sword qi to attack, Qin Jue casually waved his hand and directly blew them away. Then he flicked his finger lightly, and golden light flickered as he suppressed the sword.
The entire process took less than three seconds.
"…"
Finally, Qin Jue arrived beside the throne and carefully observed the man in front of him.
The dead man had a head of white hair and was as thin as a match. There was no vitality in his body, but his body was indestructible. This proved that he was at least a True God Stage expert.
1
This was because only divine bodies could stay indestructible even after the soul was destroyed.
However, how could a True God Stage expert be killed here?
Coupled with the strength of the array formations and the sword just now, could it be that the person who killed the man was also a True God Stage expert?
At the moment, this was the only explanation.
"Brother Qin, look, what's that…"
At this moment, Shi Tian, who had been standing outside the palace, suddenly shouted.
Hearing this, Qin Jue frowned and instantly arrived outside the palace.
"What's wrong?"
"Brother Qin, what is that?"
Shi Tian pointed into the distance.
Qin Jue looked in the direction Shi Tian pointed at and saw a ten-meter-long bronze coffin quietly placed there. It was covered in dust and many weeds. It was unknown how many years it had been since it was placed there.
The bronze coffin was simple and unadorned, filled with an ancient feeling. There were dense lines carved on it that were somewhat similar to the runes on the stone platform. The difference was that these lines no longer had any spirit qi and had completely lost their effect.
Strange, the man had clearly died in the palace, so why did he leave the coffin outside?
Unable to figure it out, Qin Jue simply stepped forward and opened it.
Bang!
Qin Jue pushed open the coffin lid that weighed more than five thousand kilograms, revealing the scene inside.
Therefore, another man with closed eyes and bleeding from his seven orifices appeared in front of Qin Jue.
"???"
What was going on?
There was actually more than one dead person?
The difference was that this man was not armed or injured, so his spirit energy had long dissipated. However, judging from the strength of his body, he should also be a True God Stage expert.
Could it be that these two fellows fought and ended up dying together?
Qin Jue had a strange expression. Although it sounded absurd, it was indeed possible.
After all, the vitality of a True God Stage expert was extremely tenacious. Unless one was instantly killed, even if one suffered a fatal blow, one could rely on their spirit energy to survive for a long time.
Perhaps the man in the palace was killed by this man in the coffin. After that, the injured killer could only lie in the coffin and wait for death.
In a while, Qin Jue had already imagined all the plots to explain the story here.
However, Qin Jue quickly dismissed this idea. Although the man in the bronze coffin had no injuries, Qin Jue still sensed a trace of killing intent.
That's right, the killing intent coming from that sword!
Taking a deep breath, Qin Jue fell into deep thought. In other words, the two True God Stage experts were very likely killed by that sword. The only question now was… who wielded the sword?
The whole thing was getting stranger.
Crack!
Just as Qin Jue was thinking, there was a light sound under his feet, as if he was stepping on something. Looking down, he saw that it was an unlucky little bug.
"Right!"
Qin Jue suddenly reacted. Didn't that sword already have an artifact spirit?
As long as he used Soul Search on that sword, wouldn't he figure out everything?
Thinking of this, Qin Jue immediately returned to the palace, grabbed the sword he had suppressed, and slowly pulled it out of the man's body.
It had to be said that this sword was extremely beautiful. Not only was it covered in many patterns, but it also revealed a dark red color. It was simply like a work of art that caused others to be unable to part with it.
Clang!
The sword cried out again, trying to break free from Qin Jue, but unfortunately, it was useless.
Several breaths later, Qin Jue completely pulled out his sword and lightly waved it.
Rip!
The palace shattered, directly drawing a twenty-foot crack on the ground. It broke through the wall and stretched to the end of one's field of vision, almost splitting the entire small world in half!
"Good sword."
Qin Jue couldn't help but praise. It might be good to use as a weapon in the future.
"Hm?"
In the next moment, Qin Jue realized that something was wrong.
As the sword left the white-haired man, an indescribably dense vitality suddenly erupted from the white-haired man's body and quickly surged into his limbs and bones!
Not only that, but the white-haired man's originally thin body suddenly expanded, and the sword wound on his chest healed. Powerful spirit energy soared into the sky, piercing through the roof of the palace and into the clouds!
Boom!
In less than a minute, the corpse that had remained lifeless for an unknown period of time had already become full of vitality, no longer having any lifeless aura.
Among these phenomena, the white-haired man's eyeballs moved slightly as he opened his eyes!

Chapter 312: Killing Dao Sword
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Boom!
Almost at the moment the man opened his eyes, the entire small world shook. It was as if thunder had flashed, illuminating the mountains and rivers in a tragic manner.
At the same time, the palace instantly turned into countless fragments that scattered. Even the throne under the man cracked and collapsed.
In the sky, wind and clouds surged, and the heavens and the earth dimmed. A vortex faintly formed, as if the end of the world had arrived.
Crack!
Another thunderclap fell, illuminating the man and Qin Jue. It was especially intimidating.
In the distance, Shi Tian was dumbfounded, almost unable to believe his eyes. If it weren't for Qin Jue standing in place without moving, he would have long been frightened away.
Clang!
The sword shook slightly and the killing intent was retracted, replaced by dense fear!
That's right, a sword could actually feel fear!
"It's over."
The sword sighed helplessly.
Just as Qin Jue expected, the sword had already given birth to an artifact spirit. At this moment, it finally spoke.
"He's not dead?"
Qin Jue was also slightly surprised.
No wonder the spirit energy of this corpse was condensed and did not disperse. It turned out that it was more complicated and not just restricted by the sword.
"This is…"
The white-haired man looked at his hands in confusion and then at his surroundings, somewhat puzzled.
Suddenly, the white-haired man seemed to have thought of something and suddenly laughed towards the sky. His voice shook thousands of kilometers, piercing through gold and splitting stone.
"Hahaha, finally… I have been awakened!"
The white-haired man's aura continued to rise. In the blink of an eye, he had already broken through the Great Void Stage and stepped into the realm of the True God Stage. He caused many dazzling heavenly phenomena.
A True God Stage expert who had been "asleep" for an unknown period of time had been revived.
"Were you the one who saved me?"
After calming down, the white-haired man finally noticed Qin Jue beside him. His eyes flickered with unknown intentions.
"Uh… I guess so."
Qin Jue nodded.
From the current situation, it seemed that the sword had only sealed the white-haired man instead of killing him. Qin Jue pulling out the sword was equivalent to helping the white-haired man undo the seal, thereby saving him.
As for how the white-haired man protected his life force, Qin Jue didn't know.
"Thank you!"
Hearing this, the white-haired man immediately cupped his fists at Qin Jue.
Qin Jue :"…"
Why was it different from what he imagined?
He thought that the white-haired man would directly attack and silence him.
"I am Yin Tianxing. May I know who you are…"
The white-haired man didn't know what Qin Jue was thinking and went straight to the point.
"Qin Jue!" Qin Jue answered truthfully.
"So it's Brother Qin."
The white-haired man grinned and said as if he was very familiar with Qin Jue, "Thank you, Brother Qin, for saving my life. I will never forget your kindness!"
Qin Jue :"…"
Why did it sound strange, as if the white-haired man wanted to seek revenge on him?
"Don't be fooled by him. He's a fiend."
At this moment, the sword suddenly spoke in the human tongue and shouted angrily.
If it weren't for Qin Jue holding it in his hand, the sword would have already rushed up to fight the white-haired man to the death.
"Mm? Killing Dao Sword?"
Yin Tianxing frowned slightly as killing intent flashed in his eyes. "You've sealed me for so long, but you still haven't resolved the hatred in your heart?"
Although Yin Tianxing concealed it very well, Qin Jue still noticed his killing intent. He immediately understood that things weren't that simple.
However, this sword was actually called "Killing Dao"?
No wonder the killing intent was so strong.
"Ptui, I'll kill you one day and avenge everyone!"
The sword shouted.
"In that case, I'll destroy your artifact spirit today!"
As he spoke, Yin Tianxing immediately stretched out his hand to snatch the sword, but Qin Jue dodged sideways.
"Sorry, this sword is mine now." Qin Jue said expressionlessly.
Yin Tianxing was stunned and said in a deep voice, "Brother Qin, you might not know this, but the killing intent of this sword is too dense. If I don't destroy the artifact spirit, it will probably cause endless trouble in the future."
"I said, this sword is mine now." Qin Jue repeated.
"…"
For a moment, the atmosphere fell into silence and hostility, as if even the air had frozen.
After a while, Yin Tianxing changed the topic and smiled. "Since Brother Qin was the one who pulled out this sword, then this sword should indeed be Brother Qin's. I was rude."
As soon as he finished speaking, he actually retracted his arm and stopped fighting.
It was hard to imagine that such a person would be the fiendish demon mentioned by the Killing Dao Sword.
Of course, Qin Jue wasn't a child and was deceived in a few words, so he didn't take Yin Tianxing's words to heart at all.
It was obvious that a True God Stage expert who had been sealed for countless years would not lower his head so easily.
In any case, since Yin Tianxing didn't continue to attack, Qin Jue couldn't say anything else and could only focus on the Killing Dao Sword.
He had originally planned to use a soul search on the Killing Dao Sword to investigate the situation here. In any case, he had only saved Yin Tianxiang by accident.
Just as Qin Jue was about to use the soul searching technique, Yin Tianxing suddenly took a step forward and arrived beside the bronze coffin outside the palace.
Seeing the figure lying in the coffin, Yin Tianxing was stunned for a moment before he threw his head back and laughed. "Hahaha, Tianchou, you still lost to me."
Tianchou?
Yin Tianchou? Yin Tianxing?
Qin Jue pondered.
In that case, the man in the coffin was indeed somewhat similar to Yin Tianxing. Could it be that the two of them were brothers?
"What? Master is dead?"
Hearing Yin Tianxing's words, the Killing Dao Sword immediately struggled crazily, wanting to go over and take a look. Unfortunately, Qin Jue was grabbing it and it couldn't move at all.
In fact, the Killing Dao Sword had long known about its master's death. It was just unwilling to accept it. Otherwise, why would it be left here for so many years? After all, its bloodline connection had already been severed.
…
So the man in the coffin was the owner of the Killing Dao Sword.
Qin Jue suddenly understood why the man in the coffin had the killing intent of the Killing Dao Sword.
In other words, the man was not killed by the Killing Dao Sword.
"Hahahaha!"
Yin Tianxing seemed to have gone crazy, and he was even happier than when he had just revived.
It could be seen that the two of them must have had a poor relationship when they were alive.
"Alright, alright, alright."
In the next moment, Yin Tianxing suddenly raised his palm and slapped down heavily!
Boom!
Berserk spirit energy swept out, instantly splitting the coffin into pieces. The remaining force continued to hit the ground, raising dust that filled the sky.
Seeing this, Qin Jue frowned and immediately flew into the sky with Shi Tian.
When the dust and smoke fell, the entire ruined palace had already turned into a bottomless pit. Nothing was left except for the man lying in the coffin.
This was the power of a divine body. Even though the person had already died, the body was still indestructible.
"Hehehe, don't worry, I won't destroy your body so easily. Since you weren't willing to listen to my orders when you were alive, I'll refine you into a puppet and let you serve me in death."
Yin Tianxing muttered to himself, making one shudder.
Then Yin Tianxing looked up at Qin Jue and revealed an extremely abnormal smile.
Since Yin Tianchou was already dead, he had nothing to worry about.
He was not planning on letting anyone leave here alive!

Chapter 313: Splitting the Heavens with a Sword!
Hu!
A cold wind blew, and the originally bright sky suddenly darkened. Dark clouds covered the sky, blocking the sunlight.
Yin Tianxing's eyes were like lightning as he looked straight at Qin Jue with killing intent.
From the moment he woke up, Yin Tianxing was most worried about whether the younger brother he hated and feared was still alive.
Back then, it was precisely Yin Tianchou who had sealed him with the Killing Dao Sword.
If not for the fact that Yin Tianxing had a divine ability that allowed him to sleep for a long time, he would have died long ago.
Even so, he was still pinned to the throne for countless years and could not move.
Therefore, Yin Tianxing was very afraid that he would be sealed again by Yin Tianchou after waking up. After all, his strength had yet to recover to its peak.
Moreover, even at his peak state, he would most likely not be able to defeat Yin Tianchou. Otherwise, why would he be sealed in the first place?
Although Yin Tianxing had also severely injured his brother before this, Yin Tianxing had no idea how injured his brother was at this moment
Unexpectedly, Yin Tianchou had died!
No wonder Yin Tianchou only sealed him and did not kill him. It turned out that the other party also could not hold on any longer.
When he saw Yin Tianchou's corpse, Yin Tianxing was extremely happy.
Because that meant that no one could restrain him anymore!
Therefore, in order to celebrate, he would first kill these two fellows who did not know what was good for them.
A wisp of a smile appeared on Yin Tianxing's face, and it was sinister and terrifying.
Although he couldn't see through Qin Jue's cultivation, Yin Tianxing didn't care. After all, he didn't believe that Qin Jue could be stronger than him.
Ever since the Heavenly Palace was destroyed, he and Yin Tianchou had become the most powerful living beings in this void. They dominated the world and were invincible.
Now that Yin Tianchou was dead, who else could stop him?
In his eyes, he was the Heavenly Dao! He was the absolute ruler!
The only thing that made Yin Tianxing slightly vigilant was that Qin Jue was capable of pulling out the Killing Dao Sword, which proved that he was at least a Half God Stage expert.
However, a Half God Stage expert was still no match for him.
Also, he had to destroy the artifact spirit of the Killing Dao Sword to prevent future troubles!
…
At this moment, Yin Tianxing still didn't know that hundreds of thousands of years had passed since he was sealed. The world in the Inner Realm had long been turned upside down, and even more True God Stage experts had been born.
And now, standing in front of him was an invincible existence that even the Heavenly Dao had to bow down to.
"Hm?"
Sensing Yin Tianxing's murderous gaze, Qin Jue was slightly stunned. What was going on? Wasn't he fine just now?
Why did he suddenly turn hostile?
Without waiting for Qin Jue to figure it out, Yin Tianxing's body slowly rose into the air and stopped as he got to the same level as Qin Jue. "Hand over the Killing Dao Sword and perhaps I can let you die more easily."
From the beginning to the end, Yin Tianxing was most afraid of the Killing Dao Sword because it was a genuine divine artifact!
If Qin Jue was a Half God Stage expert and had the support of the Killing Dao Sword, he would be even more troublesome to deal with.
"Really?"
Qin Jue laughed instead of being angry. "Alright, come and get it yourself."
Although he didn't understand why Yin Tianxing suddenly turned hostile, Qin Jue never showed mercy to people who wanted to kill him.
"You're courting death!"
Yin Tianxing was stunned, and his eyes were cold to the bone.
As soon as his last word fell, Qin Jue could clearly feel the surrounding environment distorting and deforming, like a cage trying to imprison him.
"This world was created by me and my younger brother. As long as you're in this world, it's impossible for you to defeat me."
Taking a deep breath, Yin Tianxing said with a look of enjoyment.
Numerous spirit qi pillars of light landed on Yin Tianxing's body. Then, three flowers bloomed on his head, and nine lotuses appeared under his feet. They were unpredictable, and he was like an immortal that had descended to the world, causing all the living beings in the small world to be unable to breathe.
Some fiend beasts with slightly lower cultivation realms were even lying on the ground shivering, not daring to move.
Qin Jue :"…"
Qin Jue had expected this. It was the confidence of a villain.
For a moment, Qin Jue felt sorry for him. After all, Yin Tianxing was only just revived after so long.
"Soon, you will regret not handing over the Killing Dao Sword."
Sensing the strength that was gradually filling his body, Yin Tianxing became even more confident. He slowly clenched his fist, and the surrounding space immediately began to collapse and collapse, turning into a huge black hole that wanted to swallow Qin Jue.
Clang!
At that moment, the Killing Dao Sword let out a light hum. "Run, I can help you slash open the spatial cage!"
Hearing this, Qin Jue pondered and raised his hand.
"Rip!"
Sword light flashed, and the spatial cage that originally wanted to imprison Qin Jue was immediately cracked and could not be recovered.
This was the most terrifying aspect of the Killing Dao Sword. Once an attack landed, this sword would cause continuous damage to prevent the opponent from recovering. If it weren't for the fact that it was missing its master, Yin Tianxing wouldn't have been able to survive until now.
"What are you waiting for? Run, or it'll be too late!"
Seeing that Qin Jue was still motionless, the Killing Dao Sword couldn't help but remind him.
"Run? Why?"
Qin Jue didn't care and raised his hand to slash.
"Rip!"
This time, the spatial cage was directly cut in half. Not only that, but the sword light's aftershock did not stop. Wherever it passed, space shattered one after another, extending all the way to the end of one's field of vision.
From afar, it looked like he was splitting the sky. It looked extremely impressive!
"…"
The Killing Dao Sword fell silent. In the instant just now, it felt an incomparable spirit energy surge into its body before shooting out quickly without any hesitation.
It felt extremely comfortable, even more so than when it was being controlled by its master.
Could it be that this youth in front of him was also a True God Stage expert?
As a witness of Yin Tianxing and Yin Tianchou's battle, the Killing Dao Sword knew very well that Yin Tianxing had been sealed for hundreds of thousands of years. It was not strange for a new True God Stage expert to appear in the outside world.
Coupled with the fact that Qin Jue had easily suppressed it just now and looked fearless, the Killing Dao Sword was incomparably excited.
If Qin Jue was really a True God Stage expert, then perhaps it could even use his strength to avenge its master!
Thinking of this, the spirit of the Killing Dao Sword soared. Without saying anything else, it immediately cooperated with Qin Jue and prepared to fight at any moment.
At the same time, Qin Jue also realized the change in the Killing Dao Sword and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Once again, he realized that strength was the only thing that mattered.
Strictly speaking, this should be Qin Jue's first time using a sword. Unfortunately, he didn't know any moves and could not swing it elegantly. Otherwise, he would have been even more handsome.
On the other hand, Yin Tianxing's expression darkened slightly as he said coldly, "Hmph, what shameless boasting."
In an instant, an invisible force fell from the sky and hit Qin Jue. It was the power of laws of this small world!
Although only God King Stage experts could grasp the power of laws, Yin Tianxing was the creator of this small world, so he naturally could control it freely.
"Die!"
Yin Tianxing seized the opportunity and condensed all the spirit energy in his body to attack. Before his attack could even approach Qin Jue, the entire small world had been sealed shut.
This attack looked very ordinary. It was neither earth-shattering nor colorful.
It was like the release of a Profound Stage cultivator's spirit energy. It was ordinary, but its speed was unbelievably fast!
It was precisely because of this move that Yin Tianxing was able to severely injure Yin Tianchou and ultimately kill him.
Yin Tianxing believed that even if Qin Jue held the Killing Dao Sword, it was still absolutely impossible for him to withstand it!
Facing Yin Tianxing's full-power attack, Qin Jue was fearless. He raised his sword and swung it straight out. Qin Jue's attack was also silent, like a cool breeze that instantly arrived!
Crack!

Chapter 314: God Slaying!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Without any hesitation, the two forces instantly crossed a thousand meters and collided!
Crack!
With a crisp sound, heaven and earth trembled slightly. Then, the sword light cut through the spirit energy with a destructive force and headed straight for Yin Tianxing!
"How is this possible?!"
Yin Tianxing was dumbfounded and could hardly believe his eyes.
That was his full-power attack, yet it was actually resolved so easily?
Without any time to think, Yin Tianxing hurriedly circulated the power of laws of the small world and condensed a shield in front of him in an attempt to block the sword light.
Unfortunately, Yin Tianxing had completely underestimated the power of this sword light. His barrier did not even last for a second before it was shattered by the sword light.
At the critical moment of life and death, Yin Tianxing knew that there was no way for him to retreat, so he could only forcefully move his body to avoid being hit.
Pfft.
Sword light streaked past, bringing with it golden divine blood as it quickly disappeared into the horizon, dazzling and resplendent.
As everyone knew, one's bloodline could already be affected after reaching the Saint Stage, let alone the True God Stage.
Under normal circumstances, a casual drop of divine blood would be able to allow a Great Void Stage expert to advance several levels, and it was even more precious than many heavenly treasures. However, at this moment, it seemed as if it was free and scattered, as if even the sky was dyed golden.
"Ah!"
At the same time, Yin Tianxing let out a painful scream. His entire left arm was severed at the shoulder, causing his expression to become slightly distorted and sinister.
The reason why divine bodies were called divine bodies was precisely because they were sufficiently sturdy and difficult to destroy.
For example, even though Yin Tianchou had died hundreds of thousands of years ago, it was still not easy for his body to be destroyed
Yin Tianxing had never imagined that his arm would be chopped off one day, and it only took one move!
Most importantly, the Killing Dao Sword could cause continuous damage, causing him to be unable to nourish it with spirit energy for the time being. It was simply torture.
Although Yin Tianxing had already been stabbed by the Killing Dao Sword for hundreds of thousands of years before this,
However, the Killing Dao Sword at that time had no owner. Coupled with the fact that Yin Tianxing had entered a deep sleep and could not feel pain, his situation right now was completely different.
"Impossible! Impossible!"
Yin Tianxing seemed to have gone crazy as he roared hysterically, "Who exactly are you? How can you be so strong?!"
Without waiting for Qin Jue to answer, Yin Tianxing seemed to have understood something and suddenly shouted, "I know, you're Tianchou!"
Qin Jue: "???"
What was this guy thinking?
"No wonder you were able to enter the Yin World so easily and control the Killing Dao Sword."
Yin Tianxing gritted his teeth and said, "This should be your new body, right?"
In Yin Tianxing's opinion, Qin Jue was the younger brother he hated and feared. He deduced that his brother abandoned his original injured body and started cultivating in a different body.
This was the only explanation he could come up with to justify Qin Jue's strength.
"…"
Hearing this, Qin Jue rolled his eyes, rather speechless.
It had to be said that Yin Tianxing's imagination was really impressive. Was it because he had felt the fear of death and had lost his mind?
"Are you really Master?"
After hearing Yin Tianxing's description, even the Killing Dao Sword couldn't help but waver.
Qin Jue :"…"
"Tianchou, you've already sealed me for so long. Aren't you going to let me off?"
After a pause, Yin Tianxing continued, "No matter what, I'm still your brother."
"…"
Taking a deep breath, Qin Jue raised the Killing Dao Sword and indifferently said, "Firstly, I'm not Tianchou, and I am definitely not your younger brother."
"Secondly, you're courting death."
As soon as the last word was spoken, the sword light bloomed again, rising like a rainbow and disappearing in a flash!
"No!"
Yin Tianxing was shocked. Before he could react, the sword light had already passed through his body, turning into countless specks of light that disappeared.
"Mm? I'm fine?"
Several breaths passed. Yin Tianxing tried circulating his spirit energy and found that he was completely unscathed.
"Hahaha, so you're just bluffing."
Yin Tianxing heaved a sigh of relief. "That strike just now should have consumed quite a bit of your energy, right?"
"Whether you're Tian Chou or not, don't even think about…"
Before he could finish speaking, Yin Tianxing suddenly realized that something was wrong. Why was the scene his eyes were seeing suddenly going up and down, and the distance between them was getting bigger and bigger?
Wait!
Yin Tianxing's heart trembled as he slowly lowered his head. Then, he felt as if he had cracked.
That's right, he had indeed cracked.
Snap.
As expected, Yin Tianxing split in half and fell.
Coincidentally, half of Yin Tianxing's body fell beside Yin Tianchou, and the other half fell into the distant rubble.
"Impossible… Impossible…"
Although he had been split in half, Yin Tianxing did not die immediately. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
Shouldn't a True God Stage expert be the strongest existence in this world?
How could this be?
Yin Tianxing believed that he wasn't considered invincible among the True God Stage, but he was definitely one of the best. Even if he wasn't a match for Qin Jue, he wouldn't be instantly killed.
Even someone as strong as Yin Tianchou had to rely on the Killing Dao Sword to seal him back then. Just what kind of monster was this youth in front of him?
"How powerful!" The Killing Dao Sword exclaimed.
Qin Jue didn't care about that. With a grab of his hand, Yin Tianxing's soul immediately left his body and appeared in his palm.
Originally, Qin Jue wanted to use the soul searching technique on the Killing Dao Sword, but it seemed that he didn't need to.
At the True God Stage, even Yin Tianxing's soul was abnormally powerful, so Qin Jue directly imprisoned Yin Tianxing to prevent him from escaping.
"What are you doing?"
Sensing Qin Jue's unfriendly gaze, Yin Tianxing hurriedly said, "Brother Qin, savior, this is all a misunderstanding. A misunderstanding."
"Oh? A misunderstanding?"
Qin Jue smiled faintly.
"That's right, it's a misunderstanding."
Yin Tianxing's expression changed as he said firmly, "I treated you as my younger brother just now, that's why I acted rashly. I hope Brother Qin, no, I hope Senior can forgive me and spare my life."
Facing death, even a True God Stage expert like Yin Tianxing would find it difficult to stop the fear in his heart and start frantically begging for mercy.
After all, Yin Tianxing had just revived and had yet to see the outside world. How could he be willing to die like this?
Qin Jue :"…"
Qin Jue found it hard to imagine how this idiot had cultivated to the True God Stage. No wonder even his own younger brother wanted to kill him.
"Senior, don't be deceived by him!"
The Killing Dao Sword hurriedly reminded, afraid that Qin Jue would really let Yin Tianxing off.
Of course, Qin Jue wouldn't believe Yin Tianxing's nonsense. He lightly clenched his palm and directly used the soul searching technique.
After a long while, Qin Jue released his fingers. Yin Tianxing's soul had already been destroyed, leaving only two corpses lying below, completely dead.
"Hahaha, he's finally dead."
Witnessing this scene, the Killing Dao Sword was definitely the happiest.
No matter what, it had finally avenged its master and its companions who had been killed by Yin Tianxing!
As for Qin Jue, he was expressionless. To him, he had only casually killed an idiot who wanted to court death.
"I see."
A moment later, Qin Jue, who had finished scanning through Yin Tianxing's memories, muttered to himself thoughtfully.

Chapter 315: Fall
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Rumble!
Along with Yin Tianxing's death, waves of thunder suddenly sounded in the entire small world, faintly mixed with sorrow, as if the small world was mourning for Yin Tianxing.
After all, Yin Tianxing was one of the creators of this small world. His death would naturally affect the world and cause abnormal phenomena.
Fortunately, the Yin World had existed for hundreds of thousands of years and had become very perfect in all aspects. It would not directly collapse because of Yin Tianxing's death. Otherwise, all the living beings in the world would probably die with Yin Tianxing.
At the same time, the power of laws pressing on Qin Jue's body slowly disappeared and fused into the world.
Without Yin Tianxing's control, the power of laws naturally wouldn't keep attacking Qin Jue.
"Interesting…"
After reading Yin Tianxing's memories, Qin Jue's expression was strange and thoughtful.
As previously stated, Yin Tianxing and Yin Tianchou were indeed brothers. Among them, Yin Tianxing was the older brother, and Yin Tianchou was the younger brother.
The two of them were born in a low-level dimension and had cultivated together since they were young. Even their cultivation techniques were the same.
Relying on their peerless talent and incomparable willpower, the two of them rose step by step and finally ruled over the Inner Realm, advancing to the True God Stage!
They could be said to have the destiny of a protagonist.
What surprised Qin Jue was that the two of them had actually personally experienced the rise and destruction of the Heavenly Palace. However, they were only spectators.
Because of the betrayal of Feng Xi, almost all the True God Stage experts of the Heavenly Palace had died. As the only two True God Stage experts besides the Heavenly Palace, Yin Tianxing and Yin Tianchou had undoubtedly become the strongest existences in the World.
Because of this, the two started to develop conflicting opinions.
Without the Heavenly Palace holding down the fort, Yin Tianxing wanted to expand his faction and rule the world. He wanted to obtain more resources and replace the former status of the Heavenly Palace.
On the other hand, Yin Tianchou was the complete opposite. In his opinion, the two of them had already reached the True God Stage, so there was utterly no need for them to compete with those low-level living beings for cultivation resources. It was better for them to stand to the side and silently observe.
In fact, although the two of them had conflicting opinions, they still didn't fight each other and were not enemies.
However, Yin Tianxing's actions were too radical. Almost all the races and factions that were unwilling to submit to him had been razed to the ground. He had even destroyed an entire world for fun.
Yin Tianchou, who couldn't stand it any longer, advised against his actions many times and saved several worlds from Yin Tianxing. In the end, he was hated by the arrogant Yin Tianxing and viewed by him as a stumbling block.
Therefore, a crazy idea appeared in Yin Tianxing's mind. He wanted to kill Yin Tianchou and become the true ruler of the Inner Realm!
In this aspect, Yin Tianxing was very similar to Feng Xi. The difference was that Yin Tianxing was Yin Tianchou's older brother, and Feng Xi was the Heavenly Emperor's disciple.
Back then, the pitiful Yin Tianchou was still unaware that his brother was already thinking of ways to kill him.
One day, Yin Tianxing took advantage of Yin Tianchou's departure to directly kill Yin Tianchou's friends and subordinates. Then, he set up an array formation and waited for Yin Tianchou.
Unexpectedly, Yin Tianchou sensed something when he returned. When he saw the scene in front of him, he was immediately unable to restrain his anger and began to fight Yin Tianxing.
In order to prevent others from ambushing them during their fight, the two of them chose to enter the world they had created, which was also this small world called the Yin World.
The final outcome was obvious. Yin Tianxing was sealed and Yin Tianchou died. Yin Tianxing's memories also ended here.
As for why the Yin World appeared in the Spirit Central World and why a map that allowed people to enter and leave freely, only Yin Tianchou knew.
Unfortunately, Yin Tianchou had died long ago, and what happened after that had become a complete mystery.
"I didn't expect to encounter something like this twice in a row."
Shaking his head, Qin Jue didn't know whether to laugh or to cry.
Whether it was Yin Tianxing or Feng Xi, their hearts were clearly twisted. One wanted to kill his younger brother to rule the Inner Realm, while the other had killed his master because of jealousy.
Such actions were unforgivable.
"Thank you, Senior, for avenging Master!"
The Killing Dao Sword was incomparably excited. If Qin Jue wasn't still grabbing it, it would have directly transformed.
"No need to thank me. From now on, I'm your new master."
After using it just now, Qin Jue found that the sword was more convenient than other weapons, so he decided to keep it.
"Huh?"
Hearing this, the Killing Dao Sword was stunned as it subconsciously said, "I already have a master."
"Are you talking about the corpse?" Qin Jue said indifferently.
"…"
Seeing the Killing Dao Sword remain silent, Qin Jue didn't continue speaking. Instead, he grabbed Yin Tianchou's corpse from afar.
"What are you doing?"
The Killing Dao Sword was shocked. "Don't hurt Master's corpse. I'm willing to follow you!"
Witnessing the scene of Qin Jue easily killing Yin Tianxing just now, the Killing Dao Sword knew very well that Qin Jue could absolutely destroy Yin Tianchou's corpse.
"Oh?" "Are you sure?"
Qin Jue smiled.
"Yes!"
Thinking that Qin Jue wanted to destroy Yin Tianchou's corpse, the Killing Dao Sword could only lower its head.
"Alright then."
Qin Jue shrugged his shoulders and continued to wrap Yin Tianchou's corpse with spirit energy and fly into the distance.
Seeing this, the Killing Dao Sword was incomparably anxious. "Didn't you promise me that you wouldn't hurt Master's corpse?"
"Yeah."
Qin Jue said meaningfully, "But when did I say I was going to hurt his corpse?"
The Killing Dao Sword: "???"
"…"
"…"
After a long while, in a beautiful place with clear mountains and clear waters, Qin Jue casually blasted out a small pit and threw Yin Tianchou's corpse in. Then he covered it with mud and deliberately erected a sign with Yin Tianchou's name carved on it.
After learning about Yin Tianchou's experience, Qin Jue was rather sympathetic and respectful towards this True God Stage expert who had been killed by his brother. Now that the bronze coffin had been destroyed, it was better to bury the corpse here.
"You… wanted to bury Master?"
The Killing Dao Sword was slightly stunned.
"What else could I do with the corpse?"
Qin Jue smiled and said, "Don't forget your promise."
The Killing Dao Sword :"…"
Although it felt like it had been tricked, the Killing Dao Sword fell into a dilemma after thinking about it.
In the past, because it wanted to seal Yin Tianxing and avenge its companions, the Killing Dao Sword was unwilling to leave. But now both Yin Tianxing and Yin Tianchou were dead, it could not stay in this world forever.
Coupled with the strength Qin Jue had displayed just now, it seemed to be good for it to follow this new master?
"How is it? Have you made up your mind?' Qin Jue asked.
After hesitating for a moment, the Killing Dao Sword said respectfully, "Master!"
"Hahaha, alright."
Qin Jue nodded and said, "Show me your human form first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Jue released the Killing Dao Sword.
"Yes."
The Killing Dao Sword didn't dare to disobey. Layers of light lit up, turning into a figure that appeared in front of Qin Jue.
However, when he saw the appearance of the Killing Dao Sword, Qin Jue was stunned.
"A woman?"
Qin Jue thought that he was hallucinating.
That's right, the Killing Dao Sword had become a woman!
1
Moreover, she was an extremely beautiful woman. She had sharp brows, bright eyes, and a heroic spirit. In a way, she was not inferior to Su Yan.
"Master."
The Killing Dao Sword bowed towards Qin Jue, but her voice was still no different from a man's.

Chapter 316: New Master
Qin Jue was somewhat dumbfounded.
He had never expected that the Killing Dao Sword would be a woman!
Let alone a beautiful woman!
Was there a mistake somewhere?
"Master."
The Killing Dao Sword didn't know what Qin Jue was thinking and bowed anyway. Its voice was still that of a man. Coupled with its absolutely beautiful appearance, it seemed exceptionally awkward.
"…"
"Ahem, are you a man or a woman?" After a moment of silence, Qin Jue couldn't help but ask.
The Killing Dao Sword was stunned, not understanding why Qin Jue asked her this question, but she still answered, "Women."
"…"
Was she really a woman?
Qin Jue had a strange expression and was slightly suspicious. Could she be a man pretending to be a woman?
As if seeing Qin Jue's confusion, the Killing Dao Sword continued, "I looked like this the first time I took human form. If you don't believe me, Master, look."
As she spoke, the Killing Dao Sword was about to remove her clothes.
After all, a sword had no shame.
"Wait!"
Seeing this, Qin Jue hurriedly waved his hand to stop the Killing Dao Sword. "I understand. I believe you."
The Killing Dao Sword only stopped when she heard this.
Qin Jue :"…"
If the Killing Dao Sword showed him something he did not want to see, wouldn't it be very awkward?
However, Qin Jue could still reluctantly accept the explanation of the Killing Dao Sword.
After all, there were indeed many women who looked beautiful on the surface but had extremely unpleasant voices. It was just that the voice of the Killing Dao Sword sounded very manly.
Thump.
Right at this moment, the Killing Dao Sword suddenly knelt down and kowtowed three times to Yin Tianchou's tombstone. She said seriously, "Master, I have already helped you take revenge with the help of my new master. I hope you can forgive me for following my new master in the future!"
Qin Jue :"…"
Alright, even her way of doing things was very similar to men.
Miraculously, as soon as the last word was spoken, an invisible force peeled off from the Killing Dao Sword. It was the mark Yin Tianchou had left behind when he was alive!
"Thank you, Master!"
The Killing Dao Sword was overjoyed. She did not expect for her last bloodline imprint to be removed.
This meant that she could now sign another bloodline connection with others!
In a way, bloodline connections and soul contracts were somewhat similar, but the former could be considered to have more equality.
If the soul contract was purely a master to servant relationship, then the bloodline connection was more like a friend to friend relationship. Even if one party died, it wouldn't affect the other party at all. Just like how the Killing Dao Sword wasn't affected when Yin Tianchou died.
On the other hand, once the master died in the soul contract, the other party would also die with him. As long as the master was willing, he could even kill his servants at any time, just like Qin Jue and Long Zhui.
"Thank you, Master!"
After bowing twice to Yin Tianchou's tombstone, the Killing Dao Sword impatiently stood up and said, "Master, let's sign the bloodline connection!"
"Uh, okay."
Stunned, Qin Jue nodded.
Buzz!
In the next moment, two balls of blood light appeared on the palm of the Killing Dao Sword, slowly forming an obscure pattern that floated in front of Qin Jue.
"Master, you just have to place your right hand on it."
Qin Jue didn't hesitate and immediately stretched out his palm, doing as he was told.
Pu.
With a dull bang, the obscure pattern instantly turned into a red light that swept back and fused into the space between the sword's brows.
At the same time, Qin Jue felt an indescribable feeling rise in his heart, as if he was faintly connected to the Killing Dao Sword and had established a certain relationship.
That was it?
"From now on, you are my new master."
The Killing Dao Sword revealed a sweet smile that caused the heavens and the earth to lose color. However, her voice made one not dare to have any improper thoughts.
Qin Jue :"…"
"Master, what should we do next?"
After sealing Yin Tianxing for hundreds of thousands of years, the Killing Dao Sword had long wanted to go out and see the outside world.
No matter what, she was still a divine artifact. How could she hide away forever?
"Uh… Wait, where's Shi Tian?"
Just as Qin Jue was thinking, he suddenly discovered that Shi Tian had disappeared.
When Qin Jue returned to the place where the battle had taken place, he finally saw Shi Tian wrapped in golden light in the distance.
"Brother… Brother Qin…"
Shi Tian forced a smile. "I thought you had forgotten about me."
Qin Jue :"…"
He had indeed forgotten about Shi Tian.
…
…
Boom!
The ground shook, and rubble flew everywhere, raising smoke and dust that covered the sky.
In an instant, a mountain peak collapsed and turned into ruins.
In the distance, Niu San retracted its fist in satisfaction and grinned. "I'll definitely defeat that fat pig this time!"
After half a year of bitter cultivation, Niu San finally successfully broke through and stepped into the peak of level seven. Now, it was time for it to seek revenge on that damned fat pig!
After making up its mind, Niu San immediately soared into the sky and flew towards the horizon.
Not long after, Niu San arrived above a mountain range. It was about to shout when it suddenly realized that something was wrong. Why was it so quiet?
Could it be that the fat pig knew it was coming and ran away in advance?
No, it had to go down and take a look first to avoid alerting the enemy.
Niu San knew that although that fat pig looked bloated, it was actually incomparably agile. If it was careless, the fat pig would escape.
Thinking like this, Niu San hurriedly hid its figure and secretly landed in the mountain range below.
"Strange, why aren't there any fiend beasts nearby?"
Niu San was puzzled. Even though this was the territory of that fat pig, there should still be some low-level fiend beasts active here. At this moment, not to mention low-level fiend beasts, there was not even a bug.
"Mm? There seems to be some movement over there."
Sensing the faint spirit energy aura, Niu San frowned slightly. Its tall figure immediately approached like a ghost.
Then, Niu San smelled a dense meat fragrance. Even with its peak level-seven strength, it almost could not help but drool.
"What's going on?"
Niu San suddenly had an ominous feeling, but it braced himself and continued forward.
Finally, a scene appeared in front of Niu San.
On the empty ground, golden flames burned fiercely, emitting a scorching temperature that distorted the air slightly.
Of course, that was not the main point. The main point was the roasted meat hanging above the flames!
Wasn't that the fat pig Niu San was looking for?
"How is this possible…"
Niu San opened its mouth in disbelief and retreated continuously.
Crack.
In its panic, Niu San had completely forgotten to hide itself. In the end, it accidentally stepped on a branch beside it and made a sound.
"Eh? Master, there's a big bull here."
Niu San looked in the direction of the voice and saw a palm-sized figure pointing at it and shouting. Her small face was filled with anticipation.
Although that figure was only at level five, there was only one word in Niu San's mind at this moment: Run!
The further the better!
Without any hesitation, Niu San turned around and ran crazily. It used its hands and feet, wishing it could grow two more legs.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Wherever it passed, everything was shattered by Niu San. In the blink of an eye, Niu San had already rushed thousands of kilometers away, leaving the mountain range far behind.
"Hu Hu, Hu, Hu. I should be fine now, right?"
Niu San said while panting.
Before Niu San could finish speaking, someone suddenly laughed from above. "Where do you think you're going?"
In an instant, Niu San's expression froze as if it had fallen into an ice cellar.

Chapter 317: Spatial Turbulence Realm
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The sun was bright and cloudless.
The wind blew the grass and leaves, making one feel exceptionally comfortable.
In the forest, flames flickered. A fiend beast that was dozens of feet tall was being roasted on the flames, emitting a dense fragrance.
Shi Tian sat cross-legged beside this fiend beast, his eyes burning. He could not help but gulp.
As a youth who had walked out of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, even though Shi Tian had already reached the Supreme Stage and no longer needed to eat anything, he still liked delicacies, especially fiend beast meat.l
Birds of a feather flock together. Perhaps this was the fate between Qin Jue and Shi Tian.
"Um, what's your name?"
Suddenly, the Killing Dao Sword broke the silence.
"Shi Tian." Shi Tian said without raising his head.
"What's your relationship with Master?"
"Master? You mean Brother Qin?"
Shi Tian was stunned and did not know how to answer. After a long while, he hesitated and said, "We should be considered friends."
"Friend…"
The Killing Dao Sword muttered to itself before smiling. "Hello, my name is Killing Dao."
Killing Dao?
Shi Tian was dumbfounded. What kind of name was that?
"Hello."
Before he could finish his sentence, a deafening bang suddenly sounded from behind.
"What's wrong?"
Shi Tian was shocked and hurriedly turned around. He saw a huge bull-shaped fiend beast lying on the ground with lifeless eyes.
"This is…"
Even though the bull-shaped fiend beast in front of him was already dead, Shi Tian could still sense the powerful spirit energy fluctuations in its body. It had shockingly reached the Saint Stage!
"A prey that has delivered itself to my doorstep. We'll eat this tomorrow." Qin Jue descended from the sky and said indifferently.
Since he had agreed to capture some fiend beasts for Yun Xi after finishing his business, Qin Jue naturally wouldn't go back on his word.
Moreover, it had been a long time since Qin Jue had eaten a high-level fiend beast. This fiend beast was just enough to satisfy his appetite.
Shi Tian :"…"
Shi Tian couldn't help but feel that Qin Jue was too terrifying. After all, that was a Saint Stage fiend beast he just killed.
However, on second thought, the strength Qin Jue displayed when he fought Yin Tianxing just now was countless times more terrifying than that of a Saint Stage expert. Compared to that, killing a Saint Stage fiend beast seemed insignificant.
The pitiful Niu San didn't expect to be so unlucky until its death. It just happened to encounter Qin Jue, who wanted to eat beef.
"Hehe, Master is so powerful."
Yun Xi flew over and circled around Niu San before happily landing on Qin Jue's shoulder, her face full of anticipation.
Next, Qin Jue cut the roasted fiend beast meat into three pieces: Shi Tian, Yun Xi, and himself.
As for the Killing Dao, she was a divine artifact and did not care about eating fiend beast meat, so Qin Jue didn't force her.
"Master, when are we leaving?" After hesitating for a long time, Killing Dao could not help but ask.
"Tomorrow!" After thinking for a moment, Qin Jue answered.
The reason why he wasn't in a hurry to leave was not only because he wanted to taste the "delicacies", but also because Qin Jue was considering whether he should bring this world back to the Xuanyi Mountain Sect.
After all, the density of spirit qi in this small world was not inferior to the White Dragon Race's. It was an extremely valued treasure.
The question was how to take this world away.
Should Qin Jue forcefully use his divine ability to teleport?
Qin Jue was worried that it would affect the normal operation of the entire world, which would be a loss for him.
Of course, if there was really no other way in the end, Qin Jue could only rely on this method.
"Oh."
Killing Dao was slightly disappointed. Although she urgently wanted to leave, she didn't dare to disobey Qin Jue's orders.
After eating the beast meat, Qin Jue looked through the remaining ruins of the Yin World, but he didn't find anything.
The next day, the two of them finished the beef and prepared to leave.
Arriving at the familiar stone platform, Qin Jue took out a map. As if recalling something, he said to Shi Tian, "I almost forgot. There doesn't seem to be the ultimate power you mentioned here."
Shi Tian was stunned and shook his head indifferently. "It's alright. If it weren't for Brother Qin, I wouldn't have been able to enter this place, let alone witness such an interesting battle."
In fact, from beginning to end, Shi Tian did not have any thoughts about the so-called ultimate power. He knew his strength very well. Even if he really obtained this so-called ultimate power, he probably would not be able to withstand it.
"…"
Qin Jue shrugged his shoulders and didn't think too much about it. He directly activated the map and threw it on the stone platform.
"I can finally see the outside world."
Killing Dao was very excited.
Buzz!
Just like before, the stone platform emitted a dazzling light and quickly spun, forming a spatial gate that was deep and dark.
"Master, will we come here again?" Yun Xi said reluctantly.
"We will."
Qin Jue smiled and flew in first. Shi Tian and Killing Dao followed closely behind and instantly disappeared through the spatial gate.
The strange thing was that the spatial gate did not immediately close this time. Instead, it shook violently, even creating waves of turbulence and hurricanes, as if it wanted to tear heaven and earth apart!
As soon as he entered the spatial gate, Qin Jue realized that something was wrong. He hurriedly used golden light to envelop Shi Tian and Killing Dao to prevent them from being swept away by the turbulence.
Clearly, they had not passed through the spatial gate but had arrived at a place with no end in sight.
"What's going on?"
Shi Tian was stunned.
"It's the Spatial Turbulence Realm. We fell into it."
Killing Dao's face was pale as he subconsciously approached Qin Jue.
"Spatial Turbulence Realm?"
Shi Tian was puzzled. He had just come out of the Demon Beast Mountain Range not long ago and had only stayed in the Nine Nether Pavilion for a few months. Therefore, he did not know many things.
"The Spatial Turbulence Realm is one of the most dangerous calamities when traveling through space."
Qin Jue was expressionless as he explained, "Once you fall into the Spatial Turbulence Realm, your perception will be severed and you will forever be lost inside."
"What? Then what should we do?" Shi Tian was shocked.
"Damn it, why is there a Spatial Turbulence Realm?"
Killing Dao gritted her teeth and spread out her spirit sense, but she realized that she could not see her surroundings clearly.
One had to know that the Killing Dao was a divine artifact. Even without anyone controlling her, her strength was not inferior to an ordinary Half God Stage expert. If even she was unable to see through the Spatial Turbulence Realm, it could be imagined how strange it was.
"In that case, let's forcefully charge out." Qin Jue said faintly.
"But… There's no end to the Spatial Turbulence Realm. How do we get out?"
After leaving the Yin World with great difficulty, Qin Jue had fallen into the Spatial Turbulence Realm again. The current Killing Dao was extremely depressed.
"We'll just have to forge a path out."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Jue raised his arm and punched.
Breaking through the Spatial Turbulence Realm?
How was that possible?!
Not even a True God Stage expert could do something like this!
Just as Killing Dao felt that it was somewhat absurd, an explosion suddenly sounded from the Spatial Turbulence Realm!
What was going on?
Did it really work?
Before Killing Dao could react, the Spatial Turbulence Realm instantly shattered like a mirror!
"It… succeeded?"
Taking a deep breath, Killing Dao could hardly believe her eyes.
Qin Jue could actually rely on brute force to break through the Spatial Turbulence Realm. What kind of monster was Qin Jue?
In an instant, Killing Dao gained a new understanding of Qin Jue's strength.
"Brother Qin, we don't seem to be in the Spirit Extinguishing Sea…" Shi Tian said weakly.
"…"

Chapter 318: Another Dimension

"Brother Qin, I don't think we're in the Spirit Extinguishing Sea." Shi Tian said carefully.
1
"Indeed."
Qin Jue looked around and nodded slightly.
"Spirit Extinguishing Sea? What's that?"
Killing Dao was puzzled.
"You don't know?"
Qin Jue was surprised, but on second thought, it was normal for her not to know since Killing Dao had sealed Yin Tianxing for hundreds of thousands of years.
After all, judging from the current situation, it should have been Yin Tianchou who had transferred the Yin World to the Spirit Central World before his death. Back then, the Killing Dao Sword was still inserted into Yin Tianxing's body.
Moreover, the name Spirit Extinguishing Sea probably did not exist hundreds of thousands of years ago.
"Rip!"
At that moment, a void hurricane swept past and instantly landed on Shi Tian!
Fortunately, Qin Jue had wrapped Shi Tian in golden light in advance, preventing him from being injured. Even so, Shi Tian still couldn't help but tremble slightly.
One had to know that with Shi Tian's Supreme Stage cultivation, it was impossible for him to survive in the void under normal circumstances, let alone withstand the void hurricane.
That's right. The three of them were currently in an endless void. Everywhere they looked, starlight flickered. It was incomparably gorgeous, but there was no sign of the Spirit Central World at all.
This was also one of the most terrifying things about the Spatial Turbulence Realm. Even if one successfully escaped from inside, they would still be sent to an unfamiliar environment.
If one was lucky, one might be sent to a spot near one's original location. If one was unlucky, one might even fall into another space-time.
"Forget it, let's go back first."
Shaking his head, Qin Jue closed his eyes and began to sense the location of his incarnation.
As long as his incarnation was in the Spirit Central World, Qin Jue could return at any time.
However, not long after, Qin Jue opened his eyes in disbelief because he couldn't sense the aura of his incarnation!
He wondered what was going on.
There were only two possibilities for such a thing to happen:
Either the incarnation was dead or…
They were no longer in the Inner Realm.
Although Qin Jue's incarnation was only at the Great Sage Stage, he was still a top presence in the Spirit Central World. Apart from Long Zhen, there was absolutely no one who could kill him.
Moreover, if his incarnation was destroyed, how could Qin Jue not notice?
Therefore, the possibility of his incarnation dying could basically be ruled out.
Therefore, only possibility two was left.
They were not in the Inner Realm!
"What's wrong, Brother Qin?"
Seeing Qin Jue remain silent for a long time, Shi Tian couldn't help but ask.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Jue indifferently said, "We might not be able to return to the Spirit Central World for the time being."
"What?"
Shi Tian was shocked. "Then… then what should we do?"
Originally, he only wanted to come out to train, but in the end, he couldn't go back?
"Don't worry, I'll think of a way." Qin Jue consoled.
What troubled Qin Jue the most now was that he didn't know where he was at all. If he wanted to find the Inner Realm, it would be no different from searching for a needle in a haystack.
The only thing that was certain was that this was neither the Inner Realm nor the God Realm.
"Wait."
Suddenly, Qin Jue realized that something was wrong. "The environment here seems to be somewhat similar to the God Realm."
Sensing the spirit qi floating in the void and the more solid spatial barrier around him, Qin Jue pondered.
According to Feng Xi's memories, besides the God Realm and the Inner Realm and Outer Realm, there were actually many worlds of various sizes. Perhaps this world was like the God Realm and belonged to a high-level dimension.
He just didn't know if this world was connected to the God Realm.
Without waiting for Qin Jue to figure it out, a stream of light suddenly appeared in the distance at an incomparably fast speed. One second, it was still far away from the end of Qin Jue's field of vision, and the next second, it had already arrived in front of Qin Jue and the others.
"Hm?"
When the light passed Qin Jue, the flowing light trembled slightly and actually stopped.
The light dissipated, and a man with thick brows, large eyes, and a righteous face walked out. His aura was calm and heavy, as majestic as a mountain!
When he saw Qin Jue and Killing Dao's appearance, the tall man was rather surprised. Then he enthusiastically said, "Are the three of you lost?"
Hearing this, Qin Jue and Killing Dao looked at each other. In a way, they were indeed no different from being lost.
"I am Xiao Dang. If the three of you don't mind, you can leave with me on the void ship over there." The tall man continued.
A void ship?
Qin Jue was stunned and quickly spread out his spirit sense. Sure enough, he saw a huge ship in the distance.
Rather than calling it a spaceship, it was more appropriate to call it a battleship because it was loaded with various weapons that Qin Jue had never seen before. It was like a void beast, sinister and terrifying.
Qin Jue wasn't surprised by this. It had to be known that the void was filled with danger. If the ship wasn't strong enough, it would be very easy to destroy it.
After all, high-level cultivators might be able to barely protect themselves without a strong ship, but low-level cultivators would almost certainly die.
Near the ship, there were still many figures moving. Most of them were humans, but there were also some transformed fiend beasts and other races. They looked happy and harmonious.
"How about it?" The man named Xiao Dang asked.
"Uh… in that case, thank you."
After thinking for a moment, Qin Jue nodded in agreement.
In any case, he didn't know where he was now, so it wouldn't hurt him to follow Xiao Dang and take a look.
"Haha, no need. It's nothing."
Xiao Dang grinned and laughed. Then, as if recalling something, he added, "Do you have spirit stones on you? You have to pay a certain amount of spirit stones to board the void ship."
"Will this do?"
Qin Jue immediately took out a spirit stone from his storage ring.
"What dense spirit qi!"
Xiao Dang's eyes widened.
Just like medicinal pills, spirit stones were also divided into different grades. However, this spirit stone Qin Jue just took out was not an ordinary top-grade spirit stone, but something he had plundered from Feng Xi.
One had to know that Feng Xi was a high-level God King Stage expert. How could the spirit stones he used to cultivate be ordinary?
"Put it away!"
Xiao Dang hurriedly waved his hand and set up a barrier. He looked around as if he was afraid of others noticing.
"What's wrong?"
Qin Jue was somewhat dumbfounded, but he still put away the spirit stone.
"There's no need for such a high-grade spirit stone. Just a few low-grade spirit stones will do."
Seeing this, Xiao Dang heaved a sigh of relief.
"Alright then."
Qin Jue smiled bitterly.
It could be seen that this person had a good personality. Not only did he not have the intention to snatch it, but he even helped Qin Jue conceal it.
"Right, I still don't know your name."
To avoid awkwardness, Xiao Dang changed the topic.
"My name is Qin Jue. This is my… friend, Killing Dao, and Shi Tian."
After hesitating for a moment, Qin Jue introduced.
"Brother… Brother Qin, this should be your first time out, right?"
In Xiao Dang's opinion, only disciples of large clans who went out for the first time would take out such good things so easily without any scruples.
In addition, among the three of them, Killing Dao was clearly the one with the strongest aura, but Qin Jue was the leader. This undoubtedly proved Qin Jue's identity as a descendant of a large clan.
Xiao Dang was actually very unwilling to deal with such a proud descendant who was likely to be arrogant. However, at this point, he couldn't just turn around and leave, right?
Most importantly, Qin Jue didn't act high and mighty, so Xiao Dang didn't hate him.
"Uh… yeah."
Although he guessed that Xiao Dang might have misunderstood, Qin Jue couldn't be bothered to explain. In any case, this could save him a lot of trouble.

Chapter 319: Humiliation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the dark void, three lights flashed and instantly crossed a distance of 10,000 meters, appearing above a vast continent.
Although it was called a continent, it was actually only a few thousand kilometers in size. High-level cultivators could even destroy it with a single strike.
"We're here."
Xiao Dang pointed at the "floating continent" below.
Qin Jue looked in the direction of the voice and found that there was a visible barrier outside the floating continent. It was like an indestructible guardian. Otherwise, this floating continent would have been destroyed by meteorites long ago.
Of course, that was not the main point. The main point was that the spirit qi in the floating continent was ethereal, like a paradise. All kinds of heavenly treasures could be seen almost everywhere, as if they were free.
In comparison, even Yin World was far inferior.
"How is it? Not bad, right?"
Xiao Dang smiled and said, "This place is about to open later. Do you want to team up?"
Hearing this, Qin Jue raised his eyebrows slightly. Only then did he notice that there were more than a hundred auras hidden nearby. All of them had reached the Great Void Stage, but the strongest was only at the fourth realm.
"I see."
Qin Jue didn't know whether to laugh or to cry.
No wonder Xiao Dang was not in a hurry to return to the void ship and had instead brought them here. It turned out that he had come to compete for the heavenly treasures.
It was obvious that the aura hidden in the surroundings had definitely come from that void ship.
"Alright."
After pondering for a moment, Qin Jue nodded in agreement.
Seeing how enthusiastic the other party was, he decided to help him.
"Really?"
Xiao Dang was overjoyed. He didn't expect Qin Jue to agree so easily. He thought that Qin Jue would hesitate for a long time or refuse.
After all, in Xiao Dang's eyes, Qin Jue was a noble young master from a large clan. Who knew if someone like that would be willing to risk his life for a little heavenly treasure?
The reason why he wanted to team up with Qin Jue was because Xiao Dang had sensed an extremely powerful aura from Killing Dao.
Although he did not know how powerful Killing Dao was, Xiao Dang guessed that the other party had at least reached the fifth realm of the Great Void Stage!
If Xiao Dang didn't remember wrongly, among the experts who were riding the void ship this time, only three were at the fifth realm of the Great Void Stage. Moreover, they had all gone to different places.
In other words, with Killing Dao around, there was no need for him to worry about safety!
Regarding this, Killing Dao naturally wouldn't refute. In any case, she had already left the Yin World, so it didn't matter where she went next.
As for Shi Tian, did he have a choice?
Buzz!
At this moment, the floating continent suddenly shook violently, and the barrier suddenly weakened, as if it would disappear at any moment.
"A good opportunity!"
Xiao Dang's eyes narrowed as he immediately rushed towards the floating continent at an incomparably fast speed.
As an itinerant cultivator, Xiao Dang mostly relied on cultivation resources to be able to cultivate to the second realm of the Great Void Stage. Of course, he also had top-notch talent.
Therefore, Xiao Dang had experienced similar situations countless times and would definitely not hesitate!
Seeing this, Qin Jue immediately followed with Shi Tian, and Killing Dao followed closely behind.
Swoosh!
In an instant, over a hundred auras erupted from the void and flew towards the floating continent from all directions, unwilling to be outdone.
When the barrier of the floating continent reached its weakest point, everyone rushed in!
Hu!
Shi Tian felt his vision go black. By the time he reacted, he had already entered the interior of the floating continent.
"What dense spirit qi."
Shi Tian was shocked. Then, his cultivation technique began to circulate on its own, crazily absorbing the surrounding spirit qi. Without him doing anything, the spirit energy started to fuse into his dantian.
Shi Tian had never encountered such a situation before.
"Wow, such dense spirit qi. There must be something delicious here."
Yun Xi crawled out of Qin Jue's arms, drooling.
Qin Jue :"…"
"It's the Profound Yin Grass!"
Suddenly, Xiao Dang exclaimed.
Profound Yin Grass, a level twelve spirit herb!
Without any time to think, Xiao Dang instantly transformed into numerous afterimages and pounced over. He also spread out his spirit sense, looking around and listening in all directions to prevent anyone from approaching.
It was only when he removed the Profound Yin Grass and stored it into a jade box in his storage ring that Xiao Dang heaved a sigh of relief.
"I didn't expect to get the Profound Yin Grass I need the most right after coming in."
Xiao Dang was incomparably happy.
With two Profound Yin Grass and several other herbs, he would be able to refine the Nine Revolutions Profound Yin Pill and break through to the third realm of the Great Void Stage!
After doing this, Xiao Dang suddenly remembered that he was not alone now. How could he keep these two Profound Yin Grass all to himself?
Although his heart ached a little, Xiao Dang had never been the kind of person who liked to take advantage of others. Therefore, he could only bear the pain and give up his treasure. He took out his jade box and said, "Brother Qin…"
"Mm? What's wrong?"
Qin Jue was puzzled.
"This Dark Yin Grass is for you."
Xiao Dang was about to hand one of the Profound Yin Grass to Qin Jue when he was suddenly interrupted by Qin Jue with a wave of his hand. "What are you talking about? Isn't there still a lot over there?"
"Huh?"
Xiao Dang was stunned and hurriedly turned around, instantly dumbfounded.
Not far away, there were more than a dozen milky-white Profound Yin Grass growing on the ground, emitting dense spirit qi. Moreover, they were countless times purer than the two he had plucked just now.
"…"
The corner of Xiao Dang's eyes twitched slightly, and he was speechless for a moment.
What was going on?
How could there be so many Profound Yin Grass?
That was a level twelve spirit herb!
"Look! There's Profound Yin Grass over there!"
Just as Xiao Dang was in a daze, a pleasantly surprised voice suddenly sounded from the distance. Immediately after, several figures instantly arrived and appeared in front of Qin Jue and the others.
"Hahaha, it's really the Profound Yin Grass. There are a dozen here. We're rich!"
The person was extremely excited and rushed towards the Profound Yin Grass without hesitation, but he was blocked by Xiao Dang.
"Mm? Who are you?" The person frowned and said angrily.
This was an insect cultivator that was only half a meter tall. He had two pairs of transparent wings on his back and had a pungent smell. It was disgusting, but his cultivation had reached the second realm of the Great Void Stage.
1
Behind him were four people, three men and one woman.
Three of the men were at the second realm of the Great Void Stage, while the woman was at the third realm. Clearly, they were a small team like Qin Jue and the others.
"We saw these Profound Yin Grass first." Xiao Dang said solemnly.
"So what if you saw it first? Does it have your name written on it?" The insect cultivator curled his lips and sneered.
Xiao Dang :"…"
"Move aside obediently. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
The insect cultivator swept his gaze over and said condescendingly, "Do you think you guys are qualified to snatch our things?"
"You!"
Xiao Dang was furious.
"What? Do you want to fight?"
The insect cultivator was fearless.
Putting aside the fact that there was almost no match for insect cultivators of the same realm, even if he really could not win, he still had four companions behind him.
On the other hand, besides Killing Dao who looked quite powerful, the other two youths in Xiao Dang's team were basically no different from trash.
This was especially true for that little fellow in beast skin. He was actually only at the Supreme Stage and could not even be considered an ant.
"Hehe, don't even think about the Profound Yin Grass. However, I can give you some other things as compensation. How about it?"
One of the elegant men smiled.
"…"
Seeing Xiao Dang remain silent, the elegant man raised his hand and waved it. He directly threw a few level four spirit herbs to the ground. "Take these things and get lost."
It was pure humiliation!
"You've gone too far!"
Xiao Dang finally couldn't help but explode!

Chapter 320: Who Else?!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"You've gone too far!"
Xiao Dang was unable to restrain his anger. His aura rose steadily, which instantly reached the peak of the second realm of the Great Void Stage. He raised a violent wind that blew until people could hardly open their eyes.
"Hehe, I'm not afraid of you."
The insect cultivator grinned, revealing his sharp teeth. "Stay out of this. I want to deal with him alone."
"Let's end this quickly. Otherwise, it'll be troublesome if we attract others."
The elegant man frowned.
"Don't worry, no problem."
As soon as he finished speaking, the insect cultivator's wings shook, and then it suddenly emitted a ball of dark green fog that was extremely smelly. It quickly enveloped itself and Xiao Dang, causing Xiao Dang to be unable to see what was going on inside.
Realizing that something was wrong, Xiao Dang hurriedly raised his spirit energy shield to isolate the dark green fog.
However, this fog could actually corrode spirit energy. With this, it wouldn't be long before Xiao Dang's spirit energy was exhausted.
"No, I have to defeat him as soon as possible!"
Gritting his teeth, Xiao Dang's eyes were cold. He quickly spread out his spirit sense and captured the insect cultivator. At the same time, his domain pressed down on the other party from all directions!
Bang!
Accompanied by a loud bang, the fog trembled slightly, but it did not dissipate. Instead, it became even deeper, as if it was corporeal.
"Hahaha, idiot, how dare you fight the Insect Race in the poisonous miasma. You really don't know what's good for you."
Seeing this, the elegant man could not help but sneer.
One had to know that the most terrifying thing about the Insect Race was not their cultivation, but their various strange abilities.
If cultivators of the same realm fought without figuring out the situation, they would be done for if they were careless and would not even have the chance to escape.
"I bet he can't last more than five minutes."
Another thin man asserted.
"Five minutes? You think too highly of him. Three minutes at most."
A red-haired youth smiled.
Apart from the woman who remained silent, the other three did not seem to care about Xiao Dang at all.
As companions, they knew very well how powerful an insect cultivator was. Even if Xiao Dang was already at the peak of the second realm and was only half a step away from the third realm, it was still impossible for him to be a match for an insect cultivator.
"Hm?"
Suddenly, the thin man noticed Killing Dao not far away. His eyes narrowed as he exclaimed, "What a beautiful woman."
When they heard this, the elegant man and the red-haired young man looked in the direction of the voice, and their eyes instantly lit up. They were extremely shocked.
"Fairy, are you friends with that fellow just now?"
The elegant man could not help but ask.
Fairy?
Qin Jue had a strange expression and couldn't help but laugh.
If they knew that Killing Dao's original body was a sword, who knew what they would think?
"No."
Killing Dao thought for a moment and shook her head slightly.
Because the words were short and Killing Dao's voice was very low, the three of them did not notice anything amiss.
"That's good."
The elegant man continued, "Since you're not friends, you should only be temporarily teaming up, right? In any case, that guy is about to die soon. Why don't you join us? I can guarantee that you'll definitely get a share of these Profound Yin Grass."
"That's right. If you join us, you'll get more benefits."
The thin man and the red-haired youth hurriedly chimed in.
"Not interested."
Killing Dao pursed her lips.
"???"
They were dumbfounded.
How could she not be interested in a level twelve spirit herb, the Profound Yin Grass?
The elegant man's expression darkened. "A wise person submits to circumstances. Fairy, you better think carefully!"
As the saying went, a drunkard had an ulterior motive. How could Killing Dao not tell what the three of them wanted to do by inviting her to join their team?
Of course, the woman on their team was also listening the entire time.
Witnessing this scene, the woman's eyes revealed dense disgust. If not for the order from her clan, she would not have formed a team with these trash.
Boom!
Right at this moment, an incomparable spirit energy hurricane spread out. Wherever it passed, even space could not withstand it, revealing cracks that almost collapsed.
Then, the dark green fog shook three times and slowly dissipated.
"Oh? So soon? Looks like I overestimated that guy."
The red-haired youth sneered.
"Fairy, will you reconsider now?"
The elegant man looked smug.
In their opinion, as long as Xiao Dang was dead, was there a need to worry that Killing Dao would not lower her head and submit?
Hu –
Finally, the dark green fog completely disappeared, revealing the scene inside. Then, everyone was stunned.
The empty ground was covered in cracks and potholes. They crisscrossed and were horrifying. Clearly, the two had just experienced a fierce battle.
However, the outcome was completely different from what they had imagined.
"Save me…"
The insufferably arrogant insect cultivator was lying on the ground at this moment, on the verge of death. The two wings on his back had been forcefully torn off, and he was covered in blood. His aura was dispirited and dispirited, as if he would die at any moment. He no longer had the lofty appearance from before.
On the other hand, Xiao Dang was still standing straight. His aura did not decrease but increased. He was only slightly injured!
"How is this possible…"
The elegant man muttered to himself, dumbfounded.
The insect cultivator had actually lost?
"Impossible!"
The red-haired youth and the thin man looked at each other in disbelief.
Even the woman revealed a surprised expression.
Although this woman hated these trash, she still admitted that their strength was absolutely top-notch for second realm Great Void Stage cultivators.
This was especially true for that insect cultivator. According to the woman's speculation, it would take at least two peak Great Void Stage experts to defeat him. However, Xiao Dang had done it alone.
Only Qin Jue and Killing Dao remained calm, having long seen through everything.
"Save me…"
The insect cultivator moved his body in an attempt to approach the elegant man and the others, but he was pinned to the ground by Xiao Dang with a spear and could not move.
"Who else?!"
Xiao Dang's gaze was like a bolt of lightning as he looked at the elegant man.
Seeing this, the elegant man was shocked and subconsciously avoided his gaze, not daring to look into his eyes.
Wait!
There were four of us, so what was there to be afraid of?
Thinking of this, the elegant man took a deep breath and summoned his courage to say, "I don't care what method you used to defeat the insect cultivator. Let him go quickly, or don't blame us for being impolite!"
Hearing this, the insect cultivator that was nailed to the ground wanted to cry but had no tears to shed. Others might not know, but he knew very well that Xiao Dang had not launched a sneak attack at all and had instead fought him head-on, defeating him fair and square.
"Is that so…"
Xiao Dang pondered for a moment and pulled out his spear.
The insect cultivator was overjoyed. He hurriedly used his limbs and crawled towards the elegant man and the others.
"Very good."
The elegant man nodded in satisfaction. He was about to say something when he suddenly saw Xiao Dang smile. He immediately had a bad feeling.
As expected, in the next moment, Xiao Dang raised his spear and stabbed at the insect cultivator again. However, this time, it was not his body, but his head!
"No!"
The insect cultivator emitted a frightened scream.
Pfft!
As expected, the long spear pierced through the insect cultivator's head and gently swept away the insect cultivator's soul!
Xiao Dang had always believed in the principle of eradicating the root of the problem, so how could he let the insect cultivator escape?
"You're courting death!"
The elegant man was stunned and shouted angrily, "No one can save you now!"
"Let's attack together!"
