Mid-air.
The hundred-zhang golden mountain pressed down tightly on Sun Yu's palms.
Golden light and dark red Asura Gang Qi fiercely clashed, emitting sharp explosions.
Sun Yu's arm muscles had already expanded to their limit. Beneath the cold white skin, dark golden tendons bulged, like venomous snakes coiled around his arms.
His ten fingers had dug deep into the solidified golden light at the base of the golden mountain.
His fingertips were precisely at the center of the four blood-red seal script characters, "Mandated by Heaven."
"The Imperial Court's rules."
Sun Yu tilted his head back, the dark red demonic rings in his eyes spinning wildly, a supremely arrogant and ferocious grin splitting his lips.
"They can't suppress me!"
As his voice fell.
Within his Dantian, the newly formed pale golden Divine Sea completely boiled, stirring up immense waves.
The Great Perfection Sword Marrow erupted from the depths of his bones with a resonance that shattered the heavens.
Sun Yu's ten fingers gripped the cracks at the base of the golden mountain tightly.
His arms spread outwards.
With a violent tear!
"RIIIIIP!!!"
A terrifying roar, like the tearing of ten thousand zhang of silk.
Under Xiao Tiannan's gaze, filled with ultimate despair.
The hundred-zhang golden mountain, which had gathered the entire Great Wind Snow State's ley lines and destiny, was torn open from the bottom, along the center of the four characters "Mandated by Heaven," by Sun Yu's bare palms, creating a massive rift dozens of zhang deep!
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
The cracks spread upwards madly.
The formation patterns and destiny hubs within the golden mountain snapped inch by inch under the savage pulling force of his extreme strength.
"Shatter for me!"
Sun Yu roared.
He exerted force again from his waist and abdomen, unleashing the full might of his Asura Undying Body without reservation.
"BOOM!!!"
The hundred-zhang golden mountain.
Split in two from the middle!
The two broken halves of the golden mountain lost their balance completely in mid-air and exploded with a crash!
A sky full of golden destiny light rain, mixed with violent spatial turbulence, swept out in all directions.
And at the very center of the explosion.
A bronze official seal, palm-sized and covered in cracks, lost all its disguise and fell powerlessly.
Sun Yu's left hand shot out.
He grabbed the provincial official seal, which represented the highest authority of the Imperial Court.
His fingers closed.
"Bang."
The official seal was crushed into a lump of bronze scrap metal devoid of any spiritual energy fluctuations on the spot.
Magic treasure, destroyed.
Below in the ruins.
"Pfft!"
The moment the official seal was destroyed, the backlash arrived as expected.
Xiao Tiannan, skin and bones, threw his head back and spat out a pillar of blood nearly ten zhang high.
Mixed within this blood were fragments of his shattered soul and internal organs.
The last trace of life in his body was completely drained.
He collapsed like a puddle of mud, heavily hitting the black stone fragments covered in dust.
Xiao Tiannan's limbs twitched, his eyes fixed on the falling golden light rain in mid-air.
It was broken.
The Imperial Court's provincial official seal had been crushed by hand.
Three hundred years of rule, the foundation of the three great families, along with him, the early-stage Divine Sea Realm Prefect.
It's all over.
"Bang."
A dull thudding sound.
Sun Yu fell from mid-air, his feet landing steadily on the ruins.
He casually tossed the mangled remains of the official seal, now twisted into scrap metal, next to Xiao Tiannan's face.
He stepped over the scattered corpses.
One by one, he walked up to Xiao Tiannan.
Looking down from above, he surveyed the supreme ruler of the Great Wind Snow State.
Xiao Tiannan's chest heaved violently, his breaths shallow.
He looked at Sun Yu's face, unstained by blood and as cold as ice, and a furious madness welled up in his eyes.
"You... you're dead..."
Xiao Tiannan's voice was a hoarse, whistling curse from his throat.
"Destroying the official seal... killing an official... this is treason! This is a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of your family!"
"The Imperial Court's envoy... the Divine State's Martial Marquis... they will come for you..."
"No matter how far you run... they'll skin you alive... I'll be waiting for you... in the underworld..."
Sun Yu listened quietly.
His face showed no emotion.
"The Imperial Court?"
Sun Yu's voice was calm.
He raised his right foot, hovering above Xiao Tiannan's Dantian.
"I'll be waiting for them to come."
He stomped down.
"Bang!"
Xiao Tiannan's Dantian's sea of energy exploded with a single kick.
The True Essence of the early Divine Sea Realm scattered into the heavens and earth like a deflated ball.
Xiao Tiannan's body arched violently, his eyeballs bulging from the pain.
Sun Yu didn't stop.
He lifted his right foot and moved it half a foot forward, hovering above Xiao Tiannan's gaunt, skeletal face.
"As for the rules."
Sun Yu looked into Xiao Tiannan's desperate eyes.
"Here, I am the rule."
He brought his foot down.
"Squelch!"
His skull shattered, brains splattering.
The head of Xiao Tiannan, the prefect of the state, was directly stomped into a bloody pulp mixed with mud.
The corpse twitched twice and then lay completely still.
The wind stopped.
The black stone plaza at the edge of the Cold Dragon Blood Abyss had completely turned into a graveyard.
Sun Yu retracted his right foot.
If you feel this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.
He turned around, stepping on the piled-up corpses and fragments of broken magical artifacts.
The sect leaders of the three great sects, standing in a triangle.
The supreme prefect of the state.
Along with over a dozen family patriarchs at the Blood Washing Realm Peak.
All wiped out.
Sun Yu surveyed his surroundings.
Within his deep eyes, dark red demonic rings slowly swirled.
Ten miles away.
On a bare stone peak.
Several spies responsible for relaying information to the Imperial Court from the periphery of the provincial government were crouched behind a rock, trembling as they peered through their spyglasses at the man in the center of the ruins.
When Sun Yu's gaze swept in their direction.
It was merely a glance.
"Crack!"
The lenses of the spyglasses in the spies' hands shattered on the spot.
Glass fragments pierced the spy's eyes, yet he didn't dare to even cover them.
He bit down hard on the back of his hand, forcibly swallowing his screams.
"Kneel! Everyone kneel!"
The leading spy's face turned deathly pale. He took the lead, banging his head hard against the unyielding rock.
The spies behind him snapped out of their stupor, prostrating themselves in unison.
And it wasn't just them.
Within a hundred-mile radius, all eyes and ears from various factions spying on this location through secret arts and magical artifacts, at the moment Sun Yu surveyed his surroundings.
They all smashed the magical artifacts in their hands.
Everyone prostrated themselves on the ground, foreheads pressed against the dirt, not daring to even breathe heavily.
No one dared to meet his sharp gaze.
Even less did anyone dare to harbor the slightest thought of revenge.
Absolute physical prowess, absolute violence, had shattered all the class structures and laws of the Great Wind Snow State for three hundred years.
From this moment on.
The Great Wind Snow State would no longer have its three great sects, nor the authority of the provincial government.
There would only be an ultimate tyrant standing above everyone's heads.
Sun Yu withdrew his gaze.
He bent down and searched the ruins for a moment.
He forcibly removed the high-level storage bags carried by Xiao Tiannan and the other two.
And hung them from his waist.
Then.
Sun Yu expelled True Essence from the soles of his feet.
His body shot up from the ground, transforming into a cold, white streak of light that instantly tore through the clouds, vanishing into the vast sky.
All that remained was a pile of mangled flesh that no one dared to collect.
Three days later.
Tens of millions of miles away from the Great Wind Snow State.
At the central hub of the Great Yan Dynasty.
The Imperial Capital of the Divine State.
A magnificent tower, entirely constructed from ten-thousand-year-old warm jade, soared into the clouds.
This was the "Imperial Observatory."
An absolute forbidden zone that managed the destiny and lifeline of the ninety-nine states under the Great Yan Dynasty.
On the highest floor of the tower.
The surrounding walls were inlaid with ninety-nine colossal dragon-patterned jade tablets.
Each jade tablet represented a great state under the jurisdiction of the Great Yan Dynasty.
In the center of each jade tablet, the phantom image of a provincial government seal floated.
In the middle of the grand hall, two Imperial Observatory officials in purple robes were meditating with their eyes closed.
Suddenly.
"Crack!"
An extremely crisp cracking sound echoed abruptly in the vast hall.
The two purple-robed officials snapped their eyes open, their gazes like lightning, instantly sweeping across the surrounding walls.
In the northwest corner.
The dragon-patterned jade tablet representing the "Great Wind Snow State" had a massive crack running through its center.
Immediately after.
The phantom image of the provincial government seal, representing the Imperial Court's destiny, in the center of the jade tablet flickered violently twice before completely disintegrating with a boom!
The dragon patterns on the jade tablet rapidly dimmed, turning into lifeless, ashen gray.
"The official seal of the Great Wind Snow State... shattered?!"
A purple-robed official suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"The official seal is connected to the leylines and linked to the Prefect's soul. The seal shattering means Xiao Tiannan is dead, and the Great Wind Snow State's leylines have been forcibly severed!"
Another official's face turned extremely grim.
"Great Wind Snow State is such a remote backwater, who has the power? Who has the guts?!"
"Treason! This is a blatant provocation to imperial authority!"
The heavy wooden doors of the grand hall were slowly pushed open by an unseen force.
A middle-aged man in a black robe with gold-threaded python patterns, his face stern, strode into the hall.
He wore no weapons.
But as he entered, the air in the hall instantly became incredibly heavy.
It carried a terrifying Dao resonance that surpassed the Sea of Consciousness, connecting heaven and earth.
"Greetings, Lord Martial Marquis!"
The two purple-robed officials immediately bowed, their expressions extremely respectful.
The Martial Marquis of the Divine State, the core combat power of the Great Yan Dynasty specifically responsible for suppressing rebellions across the land.
The Martial Marquis walked to the shattered jade tablet of the Great Wind Snow State, his hands behind his back.
He extended his long, slender fingers and gently brushed over the cracks on the jade tablet.
A trace of an almost imperceptible residual aura clung to his fingertips.
The Martial Marquis closed his eyes, sensing this trace of aura.
A moment later, he abruptly opened his eyes.
A flash of surprise and cold killing intent flickered in his gaze.
"No trace of magical artifacts, no remnants of great formations."
The Martial Marquis's voice echoed in the hall like the clashing of metal and stone.
"Pure physical strength, used to directly smash the leylines' official seal."
The two purple-robed officials exchanged glances, seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
Smashed the official seal with bare hands?
How was that possible!
"Transmit this Marquis's order."
The Martial Marquis withdrew his hand, instantly crushing the trace of aura on his fingertips.
"Mobilize the Heavenly Punishment Guard and seal all major passes leading out of the Great Wind Snow State."
He turned around, his black python robe rustling as True Qi surged.
"This Marquis will personally make a trip to the Great Wind Snow State."
"I want to see what kind of stray dog crawled out from somewhere to dare gnaw on the Imperial Court's official seal."
