The enormous mushroom cloud and the terrifying explosion attracted the attention of many monks.

They were discussing it animatedly.

"What happened?"

That direction leads to Peach Blossom Island, where Ma Liang resides.

Ma Liang was fairly popular among the cultivators, and many people also knew that he was a very shrewd and charming person.

At that moment, a huge explosion rang out, terrifying many people.

"Who were those people fighting just now? Why was there such a terrifying display of power?"

This enormous mushroom cloud soared into the sky; even a battle between cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Realm wouldn't produce such a terrifying spectacle.

Several surrounding islands had clearly felt the entire island shake.

Chen Wang is now the ruler of the entire world in the Winter, possessing a vast amount of resources and the most powerful explosives, capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks. He can detonate them in an instant, instantly killing those Bandit Cultivator from Cloud Drape Mountain. Ma Liang himself was also completely obliterated, his body reduced to ashes.

However, at that moment, a pitiful figure with a broken leg and a broken arm flew out.

Only Zheng Hua, Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, survived that terrifying explosion.

However, he was severely injured, with blood constantly seeping from his eyes, ears, nose and mouth. He was swaying precariously, and many parts of his body were blown apart, leaving him a bloody mess.

His ears were filled with that terrible roaring sound.

At that moment, three figures appeared in the sky, breaking through the air.

One was a woman dressed in a blue cloth dress, another was a beautiful young girl in white, and the third was a young man in a blue robe.

Xu Yun and Feng Lin both looked rather pale at this moment.

The terrifying force of the explosion was truly horrifying; Peach Blossom Island had been almost completely destroyed.

In their eyes, the once arrogant Xuan Profound Yin Sect cultivator was now a bloody mess, looking utterly miserable.

Just as Zheng Hua was about to speak, he saw the young man raise his hand and unleash a golden light.

A bracelet, the size of a wheel, slammed directly at Zheng Hua! Zheng Hua was startled, but at that moment his Law Power abilities were at a complete standstill.

Although it had survived by chance, it was not very powerful at this moment.

He summoned a flying sword, but the sword only collided with the bracelet once, and with a clang, it was bounced away.

This flying sword was an offensive magical Spirit Artifact, but he couldn't control it properly and was knocked away.

The Golden Bracelet struck Zheng Hua with unstoppable force.

Zheng Hua screamed in agony as a headless corpse fell to the ground.

After meeting him, Chen Wang didn't waste any words.

This Profound Yin Sect cultivator Zheng Hua, is far more powerful than Feng Qi and others he had previously encountered.

He manipulated the Golden Bracelet to smash Zheng Hua's body to pieces. Only after confirming that the man was completely dead did he float down, and then a wisp of true fire flew from his fingertip, burning his body to ashes.

Chen Wang then used his soul-searching technique to devour Zheng Hua's shattered soul fragments.

Not only that, he also found a Storage Artifact on Zheng Hua.

"You bastard, you even hired someone to infiltrate! You son of a bitch!" Chen Wang cursed.

A cultivator from one of the Thirty-Six Islands flew over on a Flying Artifact and respectfully asked, "True Person Chen, what has happened?"

Chen Wang said coldly, "Ma Liang, as a cultivator from one of the Thirty-Six Islands, actually colluded with the band of Bandit Cultivator from Cloud Drape Mountain to try to destroy my Golden Wind Island. He has already been killed by me, and the band of Bandit Cultivator from Cloud Drape Mountain were also all killed here by me."

The cultivator was startled upon hearing this, and his face immediately turned pale.

He really wanted to slap himself.

What am I doing running out here at this time? Ma Liang, that bastard, actually did such a thing!

He dared not look Chen Wang in the eye again.

"That bastard Ma Liang actually did such a treacherous thing, damn him!"

At this moment, he couldn't help but swear. After all, Ma Liang had colluded with a group of cultivators from the Thirty-Six Islands to deal with Chen Wang from the inside, and he didn't want to get involved with Ma Liang at this time.

Some cultivators from the surrounding area also rushed over, and after learning about the incident, they were all filled with righteous indignation.

"I offered my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon over the Naihe River only shines on the ditch. I have never claimed supremacy among these Thirty-Six Islands, nor have I ever been above you fellow Daoists. Yet some people have ill intentions and think I am a harbinger of disaster, which saddens me."

As soon as Chen Wang finished speaking, the cultivators trembled and immediately began to criticize Ma Liang, as well as angrily cursing the Bandit Cultivator from Cloud Drape Mountain.

Moreover, many people immediately pledged their loyalty to him.

"That traitor Ma Liang! The Cloud Radiance Sect wanted to seize the Thirty-Six Islands and make us their subordinates. Thanks to True Person's help, this guy didn't even know how to repay us. He's a wolf in sheep's clothing with treacherous intentions!"

The crowd cursed angrily, but Chen Wang simply smiled faintly and then drifted away with Xu Yun and Feng Lin.

Everyone was completely baffled, and had no idea what Chen Wang was thinking.

However, the more Chen Wang acted this way, the more uneasy they became.

Back on Golden Wind Island, Xu Yun and Feng Lin were still somewhat surprised; they hadn't quite recovered yet.

They had previously said they had prepared a grand gift for the people on Cloud Drape Mountain, but it turned out to be such a grand gift.

Xu Yun, with her girlish heart, couldn't help but stick out her tongue in surprise and ask, "What kind of grand gift could have almost destroyed the entire Peach Blossom Island?"

Chen Wang smiled and said, "Of course I have some trump cards up my sleeve. Otherwise, how could I protect you and secure a place in this Cultivation World of cultivation?"

He didn't answer directly, but instead touched Xu Yun's delicate face.

Xu Yun blushed, rubbed against Chen Wang's large hand, and didn't ask any more questions.

Feng Lin was the same; the two of them were just a little surprised.

The stronger Chen Wang became, the more at ease they felt, and they had no other thoughts about it.

Chen Wang glanced at Feng Lin: "Let's do it the way we said before. Actually, I don't think much of these people either, but if we let them be so lax, who knows what they might do in the future."

Feng Lin nodded and said softly, "Leave it to me."

Chen Wang had previously received a lot of information from Ma Liang, including not only Zheng Hua's activities at Cloud Drape Mountain, but also the private discussions about him among some cultivators on the island.

Chen Wang originally intended to simply cultivate his skills on these Thirty-Six Islands.

Although he was nominally in charge of these cultivators, he actually didn't want to be too harsh on them.

But now he has changed his mind. He wants to establish a new power and set strict rules, and kill anyone who has any disloyal intentions.

He planned to entrust this matter to Feng Lin, Feng Lin had previously been in charge of some affairs within the Thirty-Six Islands, and was now even more familiar with the task.

Chen Wang learned some information from Ma Liang that some people had ulterior motives, and he planned to handle this matter personally.

Chen Wang's approach to such disloyal people was simple: kill them outright. Since persuasion wouldn't work, he would instill fear in them.

"I don't want to argue with you, but you really think I'm a pushover. You're afraid of Zheng Hua... but you're not afraid of me at all." Chen Wang snorted coldly.

He entered the secret chamber, preparing to refine Zheng Hua's memories.

Chen Wang asked Feng Lin to gather manpower while he went into the secret room to process some fragments of memory.

Half an hour later, he had refined all the fragments, and Feng Lin had already gathered the necessary manpower.

In Zheng Hua's memory, Chen Wang learned a lot about the Profound Yin Sect.

They also discovered some startling news: Ning Yunche, the young leader of the Profound Yin Sect, had also survived, and he must have left with the Profound Yin Sect's secret cultivation Cultivation Method.

It is said that he still has a large amount of resources at his disposal, making him a rare and valuable target.

"Young Master Ning Yunche," Chen Wang murmured to himself, memorizing the name.

When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down.

At this time, the Profound Yin Sect had long lost its former glory, and the cultivators scattered and fled like stray dogs.

The young leader was once incredibly powerful and held a prestigious position, but now he can only hide in hiding.

Mo Tiefeng on Bitter Bamboo Island was in a state of turmoil. He had previously confided his dissatisfaction with Chen Wang to Ma Liang.

Among the Thirty-Six Islands, Golden Wind Island has the richest Spiritual Qi, and Chen Wang, at such a young age, has taken over the female cultivators under Granny Feng's command, making him the envy of many.

This time, Ma Liang planned to take a few people with him to surrender to Zheng Hua, Mo Tiefeng was one of them.

However, he did not go to Peach Blossom Island to wait.

There are three or four other monks like him.

Just then, he suddenly saw a group of people flying Flying Artifact charging towards him.

Among the Thirty-Six Islands, only Golden Wind Island possesses this strength.

The female cultivators looked stern, and Chen Wang's face was also very cold.

Mo Tiefeng approached with a forced smile, "True Person Chen, what happened?"

Chen Wang sneered, "You really are lucky. If you had gone to Peach Blossom Island, you would have been reduced to ashes by now."

Mo Tiefeng's heart sank, and he quickly smiled and said, "What does True Person Chen mean by this? I don't quite understand."

Chen Wang gave him a deep look and sneered, "What are you people thinking? I wiped out the Cloud Radiance Sect all by myself, and you're still not afraid of me? You worthless wretches, do you really need me to trample you under my feet?"

He berated Mo Tiefeng mercilessly, and Mo Tiefeng's face turned bright red, but he dared not say anything at this moment. He smiled apologetically and said, "Does True Person Chen have some misunderstanding about me?"

Chen Wang declared loudly, "Mo Tiefeng colluded with cultivators from Cloud Drape Mountain, intending to overthrow Golden Wind Island. He will be executed today to set the record straight!"

His voice carried out with remarkable clarity, quickly covering the entire Thirty-Six Islands region.

Chen Wang raised his hand and unleashed Sword Qi— whoosh!

Mo Tiefeng had a small hole the size of a thumb on his head, and a bloody hole the size of a fist at the back of his head.

He screamed and collapsed into a pool of blood.

His soul was in a daze, and his spirit had been lost.

After Chen Wang searched his soul, he gained a clearer understanding of his secret plans.

He followed the clues without fear of alerting the enemy.

Soon, he had slaughtered countless people from the Thirty-Six Islands.

The cultivators from the Thirty-Six Islands were terrified and utterly horrified.

Every time Chen Wang killed someone, he would first state the crime committed by that person, so that they would die knowing why.

Although some people did not participate in dealing with Golden Wind Island, they had mixed feelings about Chen Wang and were quite disdainful of him.

Only then did they realize that this young man Killing to Seize the Island, rising to power with overwhelming force, and that he had single-handedly killed so many experts from the Cloud Radiance Sect.

This is a ruthless killer who doesn't blink an eye! His back was soaked with sweat.

They then realized something was wrong.

Chen Wang did not usually place himself above these cultivators.

Moreover, he acts in a low-key and mysterious manner, rarely venturing out on Golden Wind Island.

Instead, it gave them the illusion that this person wasn't so ruthless.

Only now, with crowds thronging the Thirty-Six Islands, have they become alarmed.

Chen Wang's ruthless methods are also chilling.

Subsequently, the Golden Wind Sect was established, bringing all the cultivators from the Thirty-Six Islands under its command and managing them uniformly.

Six months later,

The Thirty-Six Islands are completely different from before. Golden Wind Island is the most prestigious of the Thirty-Six Islands. There were also several other islands with extremely rich Spiritual Qi before, but those cultivators were involved in the Cloud Drape Mountain incident and were blown to pieces.

Chen Wang bestowed these islands upon several female cultivators under his command.

Those female cultivators were loyal and devoted; they were all originally Granny Feng's subordinates, and Late-Stage Qi Refining.

At this time, Chen Wang bestowed upon him an island, and he was even more grateful to Chen Wang, becoming completely devoted to him.

In just six months, the Thirty-Six Islands have undergone a complete transformation, becoming as solid as an iron barrel.

Patrol posts were set up so that if anyone were to intrude again, they would be notified immediately.

What started as a loose alliance has evolved into a tightly organized cultivation force.

He doesn't just use intimidation; he also possesses some secret Cultivation Method for cultivating Qi, which he rewards those who achieve merit. He's quite generous in this regard.

For these independent cultivators, the lack of orthodox Cultivation Method is a major problem.

However, the prospect of receiving this inheritance from those who excel under Chen Wang's leadership is incredibly enticing.

The big stick and the carrot

Chen Wang easily subdued these cultivators.

The spirit Little White had previously consumed a spirit medicine, but Chen Wang did not know spirit medicine name or effects. However, its cultivation level improved rapidly after that.

Today, this spirit cat actually broke through its cultivation level and became a Foundation Establishment Realm Demon Beast.

Although the Beast Taming Ring was no longer useful to it, Chen Wang had already imprinted many marks on its soul, over and over again. Moreover, the spirit cat was controlled by the Beast Taming Art, so the spirit cat was still under his command.

Originally, Little White only relied on his extremely fast speed and his unpredictable, wild punches to fight.

However, after breaking through, Little White mastered wind-attribute Law Technique, and could exhale powerful Gale Wind with a single breath.

Not only that, it also grew three tails, becoming a Three-Tailed Spirit Cat.

"It wasn't for nothing that I fed you so many Qi and Blood Pill."

Chen Wang thought to himself.

Now that there is another Foundation Establishment Realm combatant on Golden Wind Island, there are four Foundation Establishment Realm combatants besides himself, making his power stronger once again.

"The medicinal herbs are indeed excellent, but Little White's original foundation is also very solid. After all, I couldn't keep up with its speed back when I was in the Qi Refining stage."

"I wonder when the Gold Devouring Insect will be able to evolve."

Chen Wang thought to himself.
