Xing Yushen Shattered His Inner Demon!

The scene was deathly silent at that moment...

Everyone stared wide-eyed as the Clan Head Ning was sent flying by a slap from Gu Mingchao, a Half-Step Main God...

The Clan Head Ning lost half of his teeth in a slap, and even his speech began to slur.

But everyone also understood that Gu Mingchao had held back in that slap... Otherwise, with the Clan Head Ning's level of cultivation, he probably wouldn't have survived that slap at all.

"Slap..." Gu Mingchao struck again, this time landing a slap on the other half of Clan Head Ning's face. The immense force sent Clan Head Ning over a thousand meters away, and when he landed, not a single tooth remained in his mouth.

Not only had all his teeth fallen out, but at this moment, the Clan Head Ning's head looked almost exactly like a pig's head.

"Little Ning... I got that second slap back for Xinghe. Do you accept it or not?"

"Waaah..."

The Clan Head Ning's mind was buzzing, but Clan Head Ning still managed to get up and speak to Gu Mingchao.

Because the Clan Head Ning knew that if he dared to utter a single word of dissent today, Gu Mingchao would not hesitate to kill him on the spot. In fact, it would be as easy as Gu Mingchao destroying the entire Ning Clan.

Don't be fooled by the fact that you're surrounded by people from the Spirit Beast Continent, and even the Empress is here. At this moment, no one in the world can stop Gu Mingchao from killing you.

These two slaps from Gu Mingchao were not directed at the Clan Head Ning, but at the entire Spirit Beast Continent.

Ning Jichang's attack on Ning Jichang Ji Moran was nothing short of suicide...

Although Ji Moran was ultimately saved by Xinghe's Seize Life Pill, do you know what Xinghe needed to consume to refine this Seize Life Pill?

That's your soul and your life... It will take a very long time to recover.

So, the first of those two slaps was Gu Mingchao's act of seeking justice for Little Ji on behalf of the entire Blazing Sun Continent and Demon Star Continent!

This second slap was to avenge Xinghe's injury.

At this moment, no one in the entire Spirit Beast Continent dared to speak, because everyone understood that Gu Mingchao had already shown mercy.

Otherwise, given Gu Mingchao's current strength, even if he slaughtered the entire Ning Clan, who would dare to say a word?

However, Gu Mingchao was a reasonable person. Although today's matter concerned the Ning Clan, everyone could see clearly that Ning Jichang had been blinded by greed.

It is precisely because this matter was entirely the work of Ning Jichang alone that, if it had even the slightest connection to the Clan Head Ning, Gu Mingchao would never have allowed the Clan Head Ning to leave alive today.

Even though the incident was caused by Ning Jichang, Gu Mingchao was somewhat dissatisfied with the Clan Head Ning's subsequent efforts to protect Ning Jichang.

Gu Mingchao was also punishing the Clan Head Ning with those two slaps today.

"Gentlemen, our Vast Heaven Sect acts with integrity and uprightness. Therefore, whether it's the Ning Clan or any of you, if you have any dissatisfaction with today's events, I welcome your intervention. However, I would also like to remind you that if you come with integrity and uprightness, the Vast Heaven Sect will accept you with integrity and uprightness. But if anyone tries to undermine us behind our backs, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Gu Mingchao's gaze swept across all sides of the Spirit Beast Continent, and at this moment, no one dared to Gu Mingchao his eyes even for a second.

"Are you all mute? Did you hear me?!"

Gu Mingchao used the Great Luo Divine Sound to say those last four words!

The terrifying sound waves shook the surroundings in an instant, and also shook the minds of everyone. In that instant, many young people from the Spirit Beast Continent were so shocked by the terrifying Great Luo Divine Sound that they collapsed to the ground.

The other three clan leaders were also pale-faced, and even the Spirit Race Empress Ji Ya was so shocked that she almost lost her composure!

"We... we heard it..." the three clan leaders said at the same time. Their eyes, when they looked at Gu Mingchao, now held not only apprehension but also fear.

Meanwhile, on the Blazing Sun Continent... Xing Yushen looked at everything Gu Mingchao had done today with teary eyes...

As everyone knows, the past grievances between the Cloud Firmament Sect and the Vast Heaven Sect are hardly a secret in the Blazing Sun Continent.

With the help of their former Grand Elder Ling Su, the Cloud Firmament Sect rose from the third-ranked sect in the world to the tenth.

Many people previously thought that the Vast Heaven Sect would completely destroy the Cloud Firmament Sect.

But as it turns out, everyone was wrong... In fact, from beginning to end, the Vast Heaven Sect never deliberately targeted the Cloud Firmament Sect. It was the Cloud Firmament Sect that used all sorts of bizarre methods to bring itself to this state.

Only then did Xing Yushen realize that he was wrong... terribly wrong.

Xing Yushen had always regarded Gu Mingchao of the Vast Heaven Sect as a hypothetical enemy.

Regardless of what the Vast Heaven Sect was doing, Xing Yushen's first thought was... Could the Vast Heaven Sect be targeting us?

Could we be the target of the Vast Heaven Sect?

But at this moment, Xing Yushen realized... he wasn't just overthinking things, he was thinking way too much...

As the saying goes, those involved are often blinded by their own interests. Today, seeing everything Gu Mingchao and Chu Xinghe have done, Xing Yushen realized that Vast Heaven Sect has never actually regarded Cloud Firmament Sect as an enemy.

To put it bluntly, does the Cloud Firmament Sect deserve to be the enemy of the Vast Heaven Sect?

Those in the Spirit Beast Continent might not know the true strength of the Vast Heaven Sect... but doesn't Xing Yushen himself know?

Even disregarding Gu Mingchao's unparalleled prowess, the other powerful figures of the Vast Heaven Sect could probably wipe out the Cloud Firmament Sect overnight...

Even if the Vast Heaven Sect were to actually do that, how many people in this world would stand up for the Cloud Firmament Sect?

It has always been the Cloud Firmament Sect that has brought trouble upon itself, forcibly elevating itself from the third-ranked sect in the world to the tenth.

Today, with Ji Moran dead, if Vast Heaven Sect truly targets Cloud Firmament Sect, even with the slightest intention to do so, then Chu Xinghe only needs to do nothing.

Simply watching Ji Moran die would be a devastating blow to the Cloud Firmament Sect.

Given the current state of the Cloud Firmament Sect, finding another successor as outstanding as Ji Moran would be extremely difficult.

However, upon seeing Ji Moran in trouble, Chu Xinghe did not hesitate at all. He used the Divine Wood Dragon Cauldron and Voodoo Arts to forcibly refine the Question Heaven and Seize Life Pill, one of the three great miraculous pills.

He even went so far as to consume his own soul power and life force, and defied the Heavenly Dao to forcibly snatch Ji Moran's life from the heavens and resurrect the dead Ji Moran!

At that moment, in Chu Xinghe's eyes, Ji Moran was no different from Zheng Yu and the Zheng Yu. Ji Moran was also Chu Xinghe's teammate and a comrade-in-arms whom Chu Xinghe could entrust his back to!

Moreover, Chu Xinghe not only saved Ji Moran, but also single-handedly killed countless geniuses of the Spirit Beast Continent to avenge Ji Moran!

Now, not only Chu Xinghe, Gu Mingchao has also reached the Spirit Beast Continent with his physical body after breaking through. Those two slaps from Gu Mingchao were not only for Chu Xinghe, but also for their Cloud Firmament Sect.

At this moment, Xing Yushen was speechless.

Because Xing Yushen discovered... he seemed to have become possessed by a demon... he didn't know when it started...

He always regarded Gu Mingchao as a hypothetical enemy of the Vast Heaven Sect, but Vast Heaven Sect had never actually done anything to harm Cloud Firmament Sect.

The fault wasn't with the Vast Heaven Sect... it was with me, Xing Yushen...

At some point, Gu Mingchao became his Heart Demon... Vast Heaven Sect also became his Heart Demon...

But at this moment, Xing Yushen finally understood that Gu Mingchao was not his Heart Demon, nor should the Vast Heaven Sect be his Heart Demon...

In that instant of relief, Xing Yushen felt completely enlightened.

The mountain that had been weighing on me for so long is gone...

The Vast Heaven Sect, which had been suffocating him for so long, was no longer a nightmare for him.

As this sense of relief filled Xing Yushen's entire body, a terrifying wave surged forth from Xing Yushen.

The next moment, Xing Yushen's realm, which had been stagnant for who knows how long, was finally broken...

Countless streams of Spirit Power converged towards Xing Yushen.

The last time Xing Yushen stepped into the realm of Martial God, Xing Yushen eyes were filled with hatred, and his breakthrough at that time was even due to hatred.

It was the power of hatred that propelled him to the realm of Martial God.

While the power of hatred propelled him to the realm of Martial God, it also placed a seemingly insurmountable shackle upon him.

There was a time when Xing Yushen thought he might never be able to make any further progress in his life!

But today, when Xing Yushen let go of his feelings, when Xing Yushen truly put down the hatred he had imagined, Xing Yushen had an epiphany... And with Xing Yushen epiphany, his realm finally broke through once again!

And this isn't just any ordinary breakthrough; it's a giant leap forward!

Terrifying Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from all directions converged on Xing Yushen's body. Xing Yushen felt the terrifying Spirit Power penetrating into his body, and his realm broke through from the Early-Stage Martial God to the Middle-Stage Martial God, reaching the true Peak Martial God!

When Xing Yushen opened his eyes after completing the breakthrough, the gloom in Xing Yushen eyes was gone, replaced by a clear look.

Xing Yushen's clear eyes at this moment were no longer due to external forces; this clarity came from his own heart.

"Congratulations, Sect Master Xing, on your breakthrough in cultivation..."

"Old Xing, you actually had an epiphany?"

Countless people around stared wide-eyed at Xing Yushen, no one had expected that Xing Yushen would suddenly have an epiphany and break through today!

Just as everyone was wondering what Xing Yushen had gone through in that instant, they saw Xing Yushen walk over to the Vast Heaven Sect members.

"Elder... I, Old Xing, was stubborn and deluded in the past. Today, I, Old Xing, thank Vast Heaven Sect for everything they have done, and I also thank Vast Heaven Sect for helping me break through my cultivation!"

Xing Yushen bowed respectfully to the Grand Elder.

Seeing Xing Yushen's actions, everyone was incredulous, but at the same time, everyone understood why Xing Yushen had achieved a breakthrough.

Xing Yushen overcame his Heart Demons...

Xing Yushen's gratitude to the Vast Heaven Sect for helping him break through his cultivation was not just empty words, because without everything Chu Xinghe and Gu Mingchao had done, Xing Yushen might never have been able to escape his Heart Demons in his lifetime.

Having broken free from his Heart Demons, Xing Yushen will begin a completely new life starting today—a life that includes not only Xing Yushen but also a brand new Cloud Firmament Sect...
