Six-Star Saint Falls, Forceful Expulsion

"Not good!!!"

Realizing something was wrong, Hun Tiandi's expression changed drastically. He immediately shouted, "Soul Clan members, retreat at once!"

Unfortunately, he had reacted too late. It was already too late.

As the temperature between heaven and earth continued to rise.

A Flame Giant Palm suddenly flew out from the Purple Vortex, blotting out the sky and covering the earth.

Carrying Supreme Power capable of burning every living thing to ashes, it struck irresistibly toward the group farthest from Hun Tiandi—the team led by Hun Qianmo, a Six-star Dou Saint of the Soul Clan.

!!!

Staring at the Flame Giant Palm rushing toward him.

Hun Qianmo's pupils contracted sharply. Knowing from its aura alone that he was no match for the Flame Giant Palm, he had no time to care about the lives of those around him. He instinctively tried to tear open space and flee, dodging this fatal strike.

But soon.

He discovered in horror.

The space around him was as solid as Impenetrable Walls. Instantaneous movement was completely impossible, and the Flame Giant Palm was far too fast to evade by flight.

Realizing that his group had already been locked onto by the owner of the Flame Giant Palm and was destined to be unable to escape.

"Damn it!"

Hun Qianmo cursed inwardly.

Then, while calling on his clansmen to join him in raising an Energy shield for defense, he sought help from the distant Soul Clan Patriarch, Hun Tiandi.

At the same time.

After Hun Tiandi discovered that the Flame Giant Palm's target was Hun Qianmo, a Six-star Dou Saint.

Before Hun Qianmo could even call for help.

He had already moved.

The reason was that the power contained within the Flame Giant Palm had left even him, a Late Nine-star Dou Saint, shaken.

If Hun Qianmo took it head-on, he would either die or suffer severe injuries.

As a top combatant at the Six-star Dou Saint level, Hun Qianmo was extremely important to the Soul Clan.

Therefore.

Hun Tiandi could not stand by and watch him fall here without doing anything.

Unfortunately.

Hun Qianmo had been specifically chosen as the target by the Hall Master of Tian Quan Hall. He was quite far from Hun Tiandi, and with space sealed off in this area, instantaneous movement was impossible. Hun Tiandi simply could not reach him in time.

"No!"

Rumble—

Amid Hun Tiandi's unwilling roar, a world-shaking boom suddenly resounded throughout heaven and earth.

Under the gaze of countless people.

The giant palm that blotted out the sky and covered the earth, wreathed in World-destroying Storm, effortlessly shattered the Defensive Barrier constructed through the combined efforts of Hun Qianmo and his clansmen, then exploded with a thunderous crash.

In an instant.

A Flame Mushroom Cloud slowly rose into the sky.

It was as though a second sun had risen between heaven and earth, dazzling beyond measure. The blinding radiance made countless experts instinctively cover their eyes, unable to look directly at it.

At this moment, heaven and earth fell deathly silent.

One could hear a pin drop.

"..."

No one knew how much time had passed.

After the Flame Mushroom Cloud and the World-destroying Storm that had swept across that region gradually dispersed, nothing remained where Hun Qianmo had stood except for a bottomless crater.

Given this sight.

Everyone knew without looking.

Hun Qianmo and the Soul Clan members beside him had been completely reduced to ashes by that palm. Not even a scrap remained, and their souls had been thoroughly annihilated as well.

At that moment.

Looking at the grim-faced Hun Tiandi.

Gu Yuan, Lei Ying, Yan Jin, Yao Dan, and the other patriarchs of the Six Great Ancient Clans felt not only schadenfreude, but also a trace of relief.

They all breathed a quiet sigh of relief.

Fortunately, they had not agreed to act together with the Soul Clan earlier. The price of that attack was truly too great.

To them, even an ordinary Dou Saint required every clan to spend vast amounts of cultivation resources and time to nurture. Not to mention that the Soul Clan had lost Hun Qianmo, a Six-star Dou Saint Old Ancestor who had participated in the siege of Xiao Xuan, the Xiao Clan Patriarch, a thousand years ago.

The experts of the Seven Star Palace had not even shown themselves.

With nothing more than a single slap, they had directly cremated Hun Qianmo, a Six-star Dou Saint. Their battle prowess was truly on an entirely different level—terrifying beyond words.

At the same time.

The experts who had participated in the attack earlier, including Huang Tian, the patriarch of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, and Tianming Old Demon of the Tianming Sect, were all scared witless when they saw this. They hurriedly retreated with their clansmen and disciples...

What a joke.

Hun Qianmo, a Six-star Dou Saint, had been unable to withstand a single palm from the other side, let alone a group of Small Fry whose highest cultivation was only the Five-star Dou Saint level.

Were they supposed to wait for another palm if they did not run now?

Just as countless people began to stir.

The cold voice of the Hall Master of Tian Quan Hall.

Suddenly rang out from within the vortex, resounding throughout heaven and earth. "Although my Seven Star Palace does not provoke trouble, neither are we afraid of it!"

"That palm earlier was merely a warning for offending the Seven Star Palace. If you dare attack the Sect Protecting Grand Formation again, This Hall Master will not mind keeping every one of you here!"

"My Seven Star Palace has lived in seclusion for many years and has no plans to emerge for the time being."

"Rest assured, everyone. In the future, even if This Hall Master breaks through to the Dou Emperor realm, I will not compete with you for territory on the Dou Qi Continent. The gaze of my Seven Star Palace has always been fixed on the Great Thousand World, not this corner of the Dou Qi Continent."

"As for the Emperor Grade Pill containing Origin Qi, the reward from the Gold Ranking, you should abandon any thoughts of it. If you cannot even break through my Seven Star Palace Sect Protecting Grand Formation, let alone seek out This Hall Master to seize the pill!"

"Rather than waste time here, you might as well return and wait for the Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking's Family Ranking a few months from now."

"The first ranking on the Gold Ranking has already produced an Emperor Grade Pill containing Origin Qi. The upcoming Family Ranking may well produce a second one."

"I have said all I need to say. Everyone, disperse."

"After one Incense Stick, This Hall Master does not wish to see anyone outside the Sect Protecting Grand Formation. Those who have not left by then will sleep forever in the Meteor God Ice Plain!"

As the Hall Master of Tian Quan Hall's voice faded.

The vortex entrance above the Seven Star Palace Sect Protecting Grand Formation began to slowly close.

At the same time.

Just as the Seven Star Palace Sect Protecting Grand Formation began to disappear and return to its previous invisible state.

The Yao Clan Leader, Ling Clan Patriarch, and Shi Clan Patriarch suddenly stiffened, as if they had received some kind of fright. Their pupils narrowed slightly.

But soon, the patriarchs of the three great clans relaxed, and their expressions gradually returned to normal.

At the same time.

Facing the undisguised expulsion by the Hall Master of Tian Quan Hall.

Hun Tiandi, the Soul Clan Patriarch who had just lost a Six-star Dou Saint, forcibly suppressed his anger and ordered his clansmen to retreat.

Although he was incomparably furious.

Hun Tiandi understood that at this point, staying would only amount to impotent rage.

Aside from retreating, they had no other choice.

After all, even a Seven Star Palace Sect Protecting Grand Formation had left them helpless.

Not to mention that within the Seven Star Palace was the Hall Master of Tian Quan Hall, who could casually erase a Six-star Dou Saint and whose cultivation was on the same level as his—or even stronger.

This trip to the Meteor God Ice Plain had truly cost the Soul Clan dearly while gaining nothing. They had lost all face.

If they did not leave, they would only remain here for others to laugh at.

With that thought.

Hun Tiandi turned his head, his eyes filled with cold menace.

He glanced at the already vanished Seven Star Palace Sect Protecting Grand Formation.

Then he secretly swore, "Don't let This Clan Leader find a chance to break through to the Dou Emperor realm. Otherwise, I will certainly make your Seven Star Palace pay the price for what you have done today."
