A Great Emperor Makes a Move, Crushing a Half-Saint

Over at the Heaven Sword Sect.

What had they seen?

Their own patriarch had been blasted apart!

Their patriarch had gone to heaven!

It was over! All over!

With their Shattering Void Realm patriarch dead, the sect's strength had plummeted. They probably would not be able to swagger about practicing swordsmanship anymore.

There was even the risk of being annexed by forces of equal standing.

With that thought in mind.

They fixed their shrewd little eyes on the remaining three Shattering Void Realm experts.

"Die, die!"

Once they died, the sects' strength would be balanced again.

The cultivators in the distance.

"Holy shit! The Heaven Sword Sect's patriarch was blasted apart!"

A man cried out in alarm!

The chicken drumstick in his hand even fell to the ground.

It would have been one thing if the Azure Cloud Sect expert had held his own against four opponents.

But he had only grown fiercer as he fought, smacking the Heaven Sword Sect patriarch into a cloud of blood with one palm!

It was truly... immensely satisfying!

The Heaven Sword Sect was infamous. Everyone had the right to punish them!

If they had been able to beat them, they would have long since let them taste the might of the big iron clubs in their hands. Unfortunately, their swordsmanship was simply too formidable.

The remaining three patriarchs from the major factions were equally shocked.

The most depressed of all was the master of the Heaven's Secret Pavilion in the Eastern Domain.

"Why are we both at the peak of the Shattering Void Realm, yet you are so powerful?"

His internal organs had all been severely shaken by the man before him.

"Haha, is that all you can do?"

"Just any stray cat or dog dares to invade my Azure Cloud Sect now."

Seeing the three of them struggle more and more, retreating even as they fought, Ye Bai burst into laughter.

"Kid, don't get too arrogant!"

"The elder of the Heaven's Secret Pavilion's main branch hasn't made a move yet."

"My lord, please take action!"

Seeing that even the three of them combined could do nothing to this man, and fearing that they would end up like the Heaven Sword Sect patriarch if the battle continued, the master of the Heaven's Secret Pavilion turned and shouted toward the warship.

"What a bunch of useless trash!"

"I still have to do it myself."

A White-Haired Youthful-Looking Old Man flew out from the largest warship among the major factions.

The old man stood with his hands behind his back, looking down arrogantly at the Azure Cloud Sect and the others.

"Who is this man? Why does even the master of the Heaven's Secret Pavilion have to call him my lord?"

"How ignorant. He is an Elder of Heaven's Secret Pavilion from the Central Domain. The Heaven's Secret Pavilion here is merely one of their insignificant branch pavilions."

The Central Domain! Heaven's Secret Pavilion!

Everyone's horizons were broadened once again. A mighty expert from the Central Domain!

Seeing their lord make a move, the remaining three patriarchs hurriedly retreated.

That man was too terrifying!

"Well, old man, have you come to deliver yourself to death too?"

Ye Bai could not see through the old man's cultivation, and his gaze grew somewhat grave, but he could not lose in a war of words.

"I was roaming the Central Domain when you were still playing in the mud, ignorant brat."

"Today, I will let you country bumpkins and mangy dogs witness true power!"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, he unleashed his cultivation, and a terrifying aura crushed the entire battlefield.

An invincible Saint Realm aura erupted from the old man.

The warships of the major factions were all shaken backward by the massive shockwave.

The onlookers in the distance were also pinned in place by the aura, unable to move.

Only Feng Qingyang's side remained completely unaffected, still calm as drifting clouds and gentle winds.

"Master, this old man is so strong!"

This old man was undoubtedly the strongest person Shi Hao and Lin Bai had ever seen.

What they did not know, however, was that.

The patriarch standing beside them was a Great Emperor Realm existence.

With a single slap, no one knew how many times this old man would have to die.

"Just an ant."

Feng Qingyang said disdainfully.

Feng Qingyang used the system to inspect the old man's data.

Half a step into the Entering Saint Realm—he was a Half-Saint!

The realm after the peak of the Shattering Void Realm was the Saint Realm.

Yet these two realms were as far apart as heaven and earth. It was an ascension in the level of life itself, and throughout the ages, countless geniuses had come to a halt here.

One had to transform all spiritual energy into Saint Source before one could break through. Those who had not completed the transformation were called Half-Saints.

Even a Half-Saint was not something a peak Shattering Void Realm expert could compare to. Even dozens of them together would not be a Half-Saint's match.

There was also a saying in the cultivation world.

"Shatter the void, draw in Saint Source, and become a Saint on the spot!"

"Who are you trying to scare, old man?"

"You think only you have powerful experts?"

"I am merely an insignificant Outer Sect Elder of our Azure Cloud Sect. There are plenty stronger than me, so just wait!"

Once the old man released his Saint Realm aura, Ye Bai, knowing he could not defeat him, retreated.

An Outer Sect Elder!

Was this a joke? An Outer Sect Elder alone had crushed all the major factions of Spirit Province. Just how powerful was this Azure Cloud Sect?

Could the Azure Cloud Sect be a reclusive ancient great sect, a transcendent force capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with the Central Domain?

Upon hearing Lin Bai's words, everyone began to imagine all sorts of possibilities.

"I don't like people looking down on me, so you can die."

The Elder of Heaven's Secret Pavilion was still immersed in Ye Bai's words.

Then he heard the True Person Realm youth below telling him to die?

"Haha, truly a bunch of ignorant fools. All you know is how to brag!"

"Make me die? Do you know that I am—"

Before he could finish.

Patriarch Li Qingyun grabbed him in one hand.

With a light squeeze, he directly crushed him apart.

A rain of blood fell from the sky, turning into fertilizer that nourished the earth. The Saint blood of a Saint Realm expert was good stuff indeed!

The Saint Realm aura dissipated between heaven and earth.

The pressure on everyone vanished without a trace.

"You talked too much."

?

What had just happened?

It had all happened in an instant.

The Elder of Heaven's Secret Pavilion, who had been so arrogant just moments ago, had been crushed apart?

Everyone was dumbfounded. No matter what, he was still a mighty expert from the Central Domain.

An existence beyond the Shattering Void Realm—couldn't you at least exchange a few blows for show?

Good heavens, you picked him up like a chick and crushed him on the spot!

"My lord!"

The people from the major factions were so frightened that their legs went weak.

The timid ones were so scared that they pissed and shit themselves, making the surrounding air reek.

What kind of sect had they provoked?!

Even a lord from the Central Domain had been crushed to death!

Had they known this would happen, they should have obediently come to apologize and offer compensation.

But there was no medicine for regret in this world.

"Leave none of the participants alive!"

He was no saint. They had come to wipe him out, yet he was supposed to let them go? That would be like letting a tiger return to the mountain.

One had to understand the principle that wild grass could not be burned away completely; when the spring breeze blew, it would grow again.

"Yes, Sect Master."

Having received his order, Li Qingyun began the slaughter.

"No!"

"We won't dare do it again! Supreme Sect, spare us!"

"We are willing to submit to the Supreme Sect and hand over all our resources."

Feng Qingyang merely spread his hands at this. How foolish. Once he killed them, would not all of that become his anyway?

As for submitting to the Azure Cloud Sect, sorry, they were not needed.

The Great Emperor Realm patriarch directly swept his sleeve, and a terrifying force capable of tearing heaven and earth apart surged toward the major factions.

Boundless Emperor's Might poured forth, and heaven and earth lost their color for a time.

Under their terror-stricken gazes, they were torn into fragments and scattered through the air.

Only countless onlookers remained outside the battlefield.

Feng Qingyang slowly walked forward and spoke a few words lightly.

"I will say only one thing."

"From now on, Spirit Province will revere the Azure Cloud Sect."

"Who agrees, and who opposes?"
