The King's second state of the fluffy duvet

"It's useless no matter who you call to save you."

Just as Shi Yutian was about to smash down with his palm on Shi Tian's crown, he suddenly stopped. This was because the 'Shi Tian' in his hand had already changed his appearance.

This was a handsome man. Once his face returned to its original appearance, Shi Yutian's legs immediately trembled.

"Myriad Transformations Marvelous Visage Art?"

The neutral elders of the Lion Underworld Sect recognized this disguise technique. It was a mid-tier Earth-rank secret art from the sect's library.

Unexpectedly, this 'Shi Tian' was fake. Then, where was their Sect Master Shi Tian!

"Shi Yutian, are you having enough fun?"

Just then, a voice that shook heaven and earth echoed from the plaza. The ground trembled and shook continuously, and a pavilion in the distance exploded with a bang. A pillar of Dou Qi shot up into the sky, piercing the nine heavens.

Ye Qianqian looked towards the location, which was where she and Wang Ba had explored last night.

The sky above the plaza churned with wind and clouds, and countless dark clouds obscured the heavens. A desiccated old man peeled away layers of mist, standing high above, looking down upon all beings.

"Five-turn Dou Venerate!!!"

Ye Qianqian's eyes were filled with horror. That old man was the same desiccated old man she had seen in the underground world yesterday.

What shocked her even more was that this desiccated old man had been a two-turn Dou Venerate yesterday, and today his realm had improved to five turns. It was truly unbelievable.

"You, who are you?" Shi Yutian was intimidated by the old man's aura.

"Me?" The desiccated old man curled his lips and chuckled, "Shi Yutian, how could you forget this Sect Master? This Sect Master is Shi Tian!"

When the desiccated old man spoke, everyone was utterly astonished. How could this old man be Shi Tian!

Shi Tian was a man in his prime, and a six-star Dou Venerate at that. But this old man claimed to be Shi Tian, the Sect Master of the Lion Underworld Sect. No one would believe him.

"No, impossible! How can you be Shi Tian? Shi Tian's realm fell when he failed to break through to seven-star Dou Venerate. You are not Shi Tian, I don't believe it!" Shi Yutian was so scared that sweat poured down his forehead, unable to believe what he was seeing.

The desiccated old man chuckled and, standing in the sky, pointed a finger at Shi Yutian.

Instantly, Shi Yutian felt as if he was carrying a mountain. The North Sea Profound Crystal Armor he was wearing shattered into powder with a crack. His bones made continuous cracking sounds, and his legs were forced to their knees with a roar.

"Ahhhh!"

Shi Yutian was crushed by this power, and blood flowed from his ears, eyes, nose, and mouth as he let out a heart-wrenching wail.

A three-star Dou Venerate expert, who had once commanded respect in all directions, was utterly defenseless against Shi Tian's casual gesture.

A contemptuous smile appeared on Shi Tian's aged face as he looked at the pathetic and powerless Shi Yutian, as if he were looking at a weak old dog.

"Shi Yutian, this Sect Master did indeed fall in realm, but this Sect Master has encountered continuous fortuitous encounters and is the future overlord of this world. How could you lowly beings compare? Who do you think you are, Shi Yutian, wanting to seize this Sect Master's power? You old dog?"

Shi Tian laughed maniacally. Seeing Shi Yutian kneeling powerlessly on the ground, he found it extremely annoying and pressed his finger down again from a distance.

"Ah!"

Shi Yutian's physical body could no longer withstand this power and was instantly crushed into a pulp, with large amounts of blood splattering everywhere.

"Hiss!" Everyone present was terrified and gasped in unison. Such an arrogant and domineering demeanor was the true face of Shi Tian!

They had originally thought that Shi Tian had suddenly changed his ways and become gentle and courteous. It turned out that the Shi Tian from before was a fake.

"Oh my, so it's Sect Master Shi Tian!" The neutral elders present all knelt and kowtowed. Their previous fawning attitude towards Shi Yutian had completely vanished. They were now extremely respectful towards Shi Tian.

"So it was our brilliant Sect Master who set a trap for Shi Yutian, waiting for that old dog Shi Yutian to fall into it. We were truly worried for nothing. We were just thinking about how to save you!"

A Lion Underworld Sect elder spoke eloquently, criticizing Shi Yutian's actions while also singing praises of Shi Tian's great achievements.

Shi Tian sneered and flicked his finger at the elder who was flattering him. With a bang, the elder's head exploded from his shoulder, scaring the other elders into kneeling and begging for mercy.

"Sect Master, spare us! We have not colluded with Shi Yutian from beginning to end and have maintained a neutral stance. Please investigate!"

Shi Tian snorted, "Maintaining neutrality is even more hateful. Shi Yutian committed rebellion, and you watched from the sidelines. Such treacherous behavior deserves death."

Seeing that Shi Tian had completely decided to kill them, these elders no longer begged for mercy. Their eyes darted, and they immediately fled in all directions.

They did not flee in a single direction but scattered, thinking to themselves that even if Shi Tian had vast powers, he couldn't kill them all at once!

However, these people had no understanding of Shi Tian's five-turn Dou Venerate realm, which allowed him to approach the power of a Saint.

Shi Tian laughed heartily and manipulated the rules of heaven and earth, freezing the surrounding space. Many people felt as if they had run into a solid, transparent glass wall, unable to break free no matter how they struggled.

In this manner, these people were like livestock being raised, and one by one, Shi Tian grabbed them from a distance and crushed them into pulp.

The remaining people cried out in despair, watching as others perished in an instant, knowing they would be next.

Shi Tian's brutality and power sent chills down the spines of the thousands of sect leaders present, all of whom retreated repeatedly, fearing they would be affected by Shi Tian's methods.

After killing all twenty-odd Lion Underworld Sect elders, Shi Tian looked down at the crowd and said:

"This Lion Underworld Sect grand ceremony today was indeed convened by this Sect Master. The main purpose, this Sect Master can also tell you, is that from today onwards, you will all submit to my Lion Underworld Sect and become dogs under my Shi Tian. If you perform well, this Sect Master might feed you a few bones. Otherwise..." Shi Tian pointed at the elders who had just died, "Otherwise, you will be no different from them."

Shi Tian had now obtained the opportunity bestowed by heaven, and becoming a Saint was within reach. What was he waiting for? He was eager to control the Northwest Continent.

"What?"

The sect masters of the many sects were all furious. This Shi Tian was too arrogant, actually wanting to annex all the sects in the Northwest Continent.

And he wanted to annex them unconditionally, leaving no room for negotiation. This was simply unreasonable.

"Sect Master Shi Tian, aren't you being a bit too bullying? Our sects are all ancient inheritors in the Northwest region. Sect Master Shi Tian, your forceful seizure of power is unbecoming of a strong individual."

The speaker was the sect leader of a righteous sect. He expressed his dissatisfaction and strong indignation towards Shi Tian's self-righteous statement, intending to lodge a protest.

Many people agreed with this viewpoint and secretly supported it mentally, but in the end, they could only express regret.

"Ptooey!"

Shi Tian spat a glob of phlegm at the man. The phlegm, carrying an unstoppable force, shot towards the man's location.

The man was so terrified that his soul nearly left his body. He unleashed his full Nine-Star Dou Ancestor power, condensing all his Dou Qi into a massive Dou Qi shield. Yet, it was still no match for the power of Shi Tian's phlegm.

With a bang, the man's body was instantly obliterated, leaving no trace. Blood rained down like a storm, splattering everyone present.

A genuine Nine-Star Dou Ancestor was annihilated by Shi Tian's spit. This delivered another heavy blow to the leaders of these sects.

"Oh dear, I'm truly sorry. I just casually spat out some phlegm and accidentally took this sect leader's life. I truly feel remorseful and regretful!" Shi Tian sighed, mourning the fallen "idiot bird" who had stuck his neck out.

"Cough, cough."

At this moment, Shi Tian cleared his throat again, preparing to spit. Seeing everyone present looking like startled birds, he chuckled and asked, "Do you have any more questions?"

"No, no!"

Everyone shook their heads quickly, trembling with fear.

When under someone else's roof, one must bow their head. Shi Tian was overbearing and tyrannical, and his strength was so immense that they dared not look up. To save their lives, they could only endure and submit.

"Good, those who understand the times are wise. Your intelligence has saved your lives. Don't worry, I won't mistreat my dogs," Shi Tian said with a sinister smile. He then looked at Ye Qianqian below and said, "However, I must first kill some people who deserve to die."

"You want to kill us?" Ye Qianqian's cold eyes fixed on him.

Shi Tian nodded. "That's right. You, girl, shouldn't have died, but your mistake was knowing my secret."

Last night, it was Ye Qianqian and Wang Ba who discovered the mysterious Years Stele. The inscription on the stele contained endless power and was the key to Shi Tian's rapid advancement in strength.

Therefore, Shi Tian wanted to kill Ye Qianqian so that no one in the world would know the secret of the Years Stele.

Ye Qianqian smiled. "You can't keep us, believe it or not?"

"I don't believe it," Shi Tian said, hands clasped behind his back as if holding the universe. "A peak Dou Ancestor, a one-star Dou Venerate, and a five-star Dou Venerate. And you are only a three-star Dou Venerate. Do you ants really think you can fight me with just this strength?"

"No, you're wrong," Ye Qianqian blinked and pointed at saber. "She's not a peak Dou Ancestor."

"System, unseal Saber's Second Release."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully unsealing. 100,000,000 Shock Points consumed."

In an instant, Saber's strength continuously surged under the shocked gazes of everyone present.

Peak Dou Ancestor, one-star Dou Venerate, two-star Dou Venerate, three-star Dou Venerate, four-star Dou Venerate... seven-star Dou Venerate, eight-star Dou Venerate... it only stopped at the Nine-Star Dou Venerate realm.

Ye Qianqian smiled. "She's a Nine-Star Dou Venerate."

"Ding"

Congratulations to the host for obtaining 50,000 Shock Points from Shi Tian.
