At the mountaintop, all was silent.
The vortex of Tribulation Clouds that had hung beneath the heavens for who knew how many years had long since been blasted apart by a single sword strike.
On the Flying Immortal Platform, Su Yi's remnant soul sat there, staring blankly without a word.
The Ruqun Girl remained seated on the ground, her hands covering her eyes and her head buried against her chest.

Taihao Qingcang... was dead?
Qing'er's gaze was dazed.
She had once heard her master speak of the terror of Heavenly Punishers. Within the River of Destiny Origin, they were practically incarnations of the Heavenly Dao itself—deathless, indestructible, and invincible!
Killing a Heavenly Punisher was no different from opposing the Heavenly Dao of the River of Destiny Origin.
Since the Battle of Establishing the Dao ended, throughout the long years that followed, no one had ever been able to shake a Heavenly Punisher!
Yet now, Taihao Qingcang, a Heavenly Punisher, had been defeated.
Most absurdly, this Heavenly Punisher had previously been frightened into fleeing, only to be caught and brought back...

For Taihao Qingcang's repeated attacks and provocations had been like an ant trying to shake a tree. Since they posed no threat whatsoever, they had been completely ignored!
Even when Taihao Qingcang was killed, it had been as casual as chopping meat on a cutting board—he had simply been killed with a flick of the hand.
There had been no need to consider
