The deep void was utterly silent at this moment.
All the great figures spying on this battle were stunned.
Overwhelming!
A merciless overwhelming!
From start to finish.
Nangong Muyue didn't even have the right to fight back.
"This is impossible!"
The old crone from the Bright Continent shrieked, her murky eyes seeming about to pop out of their sockets.
Nangong Muyue was at Break Limit fourth layer, and Lu Yuan was also at Break Limit fourth layer—this was absolutely certain from the intelligence they had gathered.
But how could the outcome of their battle be like this?
Could there be some unknown chasm between cultivators at the same Break Limit realm?
Doubt arose in the hearts of all the great figures.
"Haha, good lad, well done."
The Sky-Pacifying Master laughed heartily. In high spirits, he unhooked the red gourd of wine from his waist and drank deeply, tilting his head back.
Within the Dark Immortal Hall's camp.
The leading Master-level powerhouse narrowed his eyes, the killing intent in his heart already growing wildly like weeds.
Within the camps of the other continents.
Every leading powerhouse now had only one thought.
Should they withdraw their own prodigies?
Though Law Crystals were precious, life was more important.
Given the terrifying combat strength Lu Yuan had displayed, none of the prodigies within the Divine Martial Heavenly Ruins were clearly a match for him.
If they stayed inside, they could die at any moment.
Crimson Flame Ancient City.
The moment Lu Yuan made his move, Qing Wuji and the others also struck, madly slaughtering the other prodigies of the Bright Continent.
Though Qing Wuji was no match for Nangong Muyue, against the other prodigies, his combat strength was clearly a cut above.
He quickly sent the Bright Continent's prodigies fleeing in disarray.
But Qing Wuji hadn't been proud for long before his gaze was drawn by the commotion of Lu Yuan's battle.
Qing Wuji looked over, and the next second, he froze in place like a wooden statue.
From within the rubble-strewn street, as the dust gradually dispersed, Lu Yuan walked out, but in his hand, he was dragging a person.
Under Qing Wuji's utterly stunned gaze.
Lu Yuan dragged Nangong Muyue by the leg into everyone's sight.
"Damn, big brother, you're way too fierce."
Qing Wuji sucked in a cold breath, feeling as if his worldview had been overturned.
How long had it been?
The peerless monstrous genius Nangong Muyue had been defeated just like that?
And Lu Yuan was holding her in his hand like a dead dog.
Not responding to Qing Wuji's words.
Lu Yuan gave a light toss, flinging Nangong Muyue in front of Qing Wuji.
Qing Wuji quickly crouched down, poked Nangong Muyue's cheek with his finger, then looked up at Lu Yuan like he was a monster, saying, "She's foaming at the mouth. Lu Yuan, you really don't have any pity for the fairer sex, do you?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, too tragic. Really too tragic."
Qing Wuji shook his head and stood up.
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "You were just defeated by someone with a single sword strike, and you still have the mood to pity others?"
Qing Wuji smiled bitterly. "What can I do if my skill isn't up to par? But tragic is tragic."
"What are you going to do with her?"
"Kill her, of course. It's not like I'm going to let her go. If you want revenge, you can do it now." Lu Yuan said indifferently.
Qing Wuji clicked his tongue and shook his head. "This karmic debt is too heavy. This woman is the Goddess of the Bright God Hall. Killing her would bring endless trouble. You do it."
Seeing that Qing Wuji didn't dare to kill her, Lu Yuan didn't say anything more. He flipped his palm, and the Extreme Dao Saint Artifact, the Demon Heaven Sword, appeared in his hand. With a swing through the air, a sharp, unmatched Sword Qi sliced across Nangong Muyue's head.
The next second, her head was separated from her body.
And so, the peerless monstrous genius met her end here.
Lu Yuan raised his head, looked around, and said, "Don't just stand there. Kill them all, leave no one alive."
Qing Wuji nodded. "Alright."
The two charged into the battlefield and began the slaughter.
In the depths of the void.
All the big shots fell silent once more.
Only the unwilling and hateful roar of the old woman from the Bright Continent echoed endlessly.
The Sky-Pacifying Master rubbed his wine gourd with one hand and said, "This kid is a ruthless one. Dark Immortal Hall, you're in for trouble."
The master of the Dark Immortal Hall said coldly, "He won't live long."
The Sky-Pacifying Master replied with a smile, "I don't care how you deal with this kid, but you can't make a move within the Qingling Supreme Domain."
The master of the Dark Immortal Hall also looked at the Sky-Pacifying Master and said, "Here and now, this doesn't seem to be the Qingling Supreme Domain either."
"I was ordered to escort these little ones. Are you planning to make a move right under my nose?" The Sky-Pacifying Master's eyes also turned cold.
"Everything in this world can be negotiated, and everything has a price. Sky-Pacifying, you can name your price, or have your Qingling Star Travel name one."
The master of the Dark Immortal Hall said.
Hearing this, the Sky-Pacifying Master said nothing more and turned his gaze back to the scene within the Divine Martial Heavenly Ruins. But his eyes were vacant, clearly not focused on the images.
At this moment, after witnessing Lu Yuan's ruthlessness, the big shots from the other continents no longer hesitated and immediately ordered everyone to withdraw from the Divine Martial Heavenly Ruins.
Between Law Crystals and peerless prodigies, the latter was clearly more important.
Meanwhile.
Far away in the Dark Immortal Hall on the Dark Continent, a grand and resonant voice rang out.
"I do not wish to see this person, Lu Yuan, on the Dark Continent ever again. No matter what method you use, Lu Yuan must disappear from this world."
Inside the Crimson Flame Ancient City.
With Lu Yuan and Qing Wuji joining in, the prodigies of the Bright Continent were quickly slaughtered to the last.
The number reached over a thousand.
With these deaths, the younger generation of the Bright Continent was almost completely wiped out.
The prodigies of the Qingling Star Travel, originally only twenty left, were now reduced to fifteen after this battle, with another five having fallen.
At this moment, the others were cleaning up the battlefield.
Lu Yuan and Qing Wuji, however, sat on the roof of a house made of green bricks and tiles, each holding a jug of wine and drinking.
As they drank, Qing Wuji suddenly turned to look at Lu Yuan, his eyes red-rimmed, and said, "Lu Yuan, I've wronged you."
"Huh?"
Lu Yuan was a bit confused, not understanding what madness had seized Qing Wuji.
"You're not a woman, so how could you have wronged me?"
Qing Wuji, with a look of deep regret, said, "There's something I've never told you. Actually, everything we do inside the Divine Martial Heavenly Ruins, those people outside can see."
"Those people outside?" Lu Yuan was puzzled for a moment, then suddenly realized, "You mean, those strong ones?!"
"Mm!"
Qing Wuji nodded.
Lu Yuan frowned deeply, his mind also in turmoil. He was now wondering whether those strong ones had seen him when he signed in for the Ancient Abyss Divine Sword. If they had, that would be trouble.
As for killing Nangong Muyue causing trouble, that was certain, but Lu Yuan didn't care. The Divine Martial Heavenly Ruins was a trial ground for prodigies, and anyone could fall there.
Those strong ones might hate Lu Yuan for their own prodigies' deaths, but that was all. They wouldn't dare make a move, because it would incur public wrath.
"What exactly happened? Tell me in detail!"
