Beat the Younger, the Elder Arrives

Xuanyuan Che's pressure, imbued with a trace of Chaos bloodline, was like the Nine Heavens collapsing, instantly subduing the entire scene!

The sounds of plop and thud as people fell to their knees echoed endlessly. The disciples and elders from Heavenly Palace Academy and Burning Heaven Valley, who had been the most vocal earlier, were now deathly pale, sweating profusely, their souls trembling. They could barely even lift their heads.

Yuxi and Yan Kuang… not only were they crippled, but they also lost their lives in the ancient ruins! This was an irreconcilable blood feud!

However, under Xuanyuan Che's absolute bloodline pressure, the flames of revenge were firmly suppressed by greater fear. They had no doubt that if they dared to show even a hint of hostility again, they would be annihilated in the next moment!

Xuanyuan Che's indifferent gaze swept over the kneeling crowd, finally landing on the Burning Heaven Valley Saint Realm elder who was barely holding on, not completely crushed by the pressure.

"It seems no one wants to try."

He slowly withdrew that trace of pressure, as if he had done something insignificant. The suffocating pressure on the scene suddenly eased, but countless people remained slumped on the ground, gasping for breath, their hearts still pounding with lingering fear.

The leading Prodigy of Burning Heaven Valley suddenly looked up, his eyes blood-red, staring intently at Xuanyuan Che. His voice, hoarse and distorted by extreme anger and fear, rasped, "Xuanyuan Che! You… how dare you be so ruthless! Burning Heaven Valley and Heavenly Palace Academy will have an unending feud with you! Heaven and Earth will have no place for you!"

"Threatening me?" Xuanyuan Che's eyes turned cold. He didn't release his pressure again, but his icy gaze made the Saint Realm elder feel like he had fallen into an ice cellar. The rest of his words got stuck in his throat.

"Those who kill shall be killed," Xuanyuan Che said calmly, but with an undeniable tone of judgment. "When they joined forces to ambush my Senior Brother, intending to kill him and seize his opportunity, they should have expected this outcome. If your skills are inferior, then you die. If you are not convinced, you can make a move now, and I will send you down to join them."

Arrogant! Forceful! Unreasonable!

Yet, no one dared to retort! The iron law of the cultivation world was survival of the fittest. If Thunder Roar Ravine had been weaker just now, he would have been the one dead! Xuanyuan Che had merely done what everyone would do, but not everyone had the strength to do.

Yan Lie, the Prodigy of Burning Heaven Valley, trembled with rage but truly dared not make a move. That trace of bloodline pressure just now had made him understand that the young man before him possessed the ability to instantly obliterate him!

Yun Mengyao stepped forward, her cool gaze sweeping across the crowd. Her voice, though soft, clearly reached everyone's ears: "Yuxi and Yan Kuang's deaths were their own doing. If anyone wishes to make trouble out of this, my Eastern Xuan Academy will be here to receive them."

Although Mu Qingxue remained silent, the Wuchen Sword let out a sharp clang, as if ready to sacrifice a Saint and make a statement if words failed.

Thunder Roar Ravine even let out a sinister laugh, clenching his fists, his bones cracking. The thunderous vital energy of a mid-stage Tai Xu Realm cultivator erupted without concealment.

The Senior Sister and Senior Brothers stood behind Xuanyuan Che without hesitation, their stance clear – if anyone wanted to touch their Junior Brother, they would have to get past them first! Their protective instincts were evident.

Xuanyuan Che smiled, enjoying the protection from his Senior Brothers and Sister. He ignored the group of blusterers and said to Yun Mengyao and the other two, "Senior Brother, Senior Sister, let's go."

As spatial fluctuations rippled around the four of them, they were about to tear through space and leave.

"Stop!"

Just then, an ancient voice filled with supreme majesty, like a decree from the Dao of Heaven, boomed down!

Rumble!

The sky of the entire Seven-Colored Medicine Valley suddenly dimmed. A terrifying pressure, far exceeding that of ordinary Saint Realm cultivators, descended like the heavens falling, suppressing everything. Space was instantly sealed and solidified, forcibly interrupting Xuanyuan Che and the other three's spatial traversal!

High above, two rifts appeared in the void.

From the left, an old man in a crimson and gold flame robe emerged. His face was withered, but his eyes were like two burning suns, incinerating the void! His aura had reached the Saint King realm! He was from Burning Heaven Valley!

From the right, an old woman in a Heavenly Palace cloud-patterned Daoist robe appeared, holding a jade whisk. Her face was cold, her eyes sharp as heavenly blades, cutting through souls! Her aura was equally unfathomable, also a Saint King! She was from Heavenly Palace Academy!

Two Saint Kings, their true bodies descended, personally intercepting them!

Clearly, the deaths of Yuxi and Yan Kuang had struck at the foundations of the two major forces, bringing out old monsters who suppressed one side!

They no longer cared about the rules, tore off their disguises, and descended forcefully, intending to strike a fatal blow within a limited time to avenge the core Prodigies who had fallen in their clans.

Or, perhaps, to eliminate trouble in advance…

"Little beast! You killed my Burning Heaven Valley's unicorn prodigy, and you think you can just leave? Today, I will surely extract your soul and refine your spirit to offer to Yan Kuang's spirit in heaven!" The Saint King of Burning Heaven Valley's voice was like a thunderous storm, causing countless cultivators' ears and noses to bleed.

"Surrender obediently and hand over the Medicine Saint Legacy, and perhaps we will leave your corpse intact!" The old woman from Heavenly Palace Academy's voice was bone-chilling. With a light wave of her whisk, three thousand wisps of dust became like chains of order, sealing heaven and earth, emitting a terrifying fluctuation that could imprison everything.

The combined might of the two Saint Kings was world-shattering, far beyond that of the Saint Realm elders from before!

All the cultivators present turned pale with shock and retreated rapidly, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire. When a Saint King raged, millions would die! This was the power at the pinnacle of the Lower Realm!

Yun Mengyao, Mu Qingxue, and Thunder Roar Ravine's expressions instantly became extremely solemn, as if facing a great enemy. They immediately formed a battle formation, protecting Xuanyuan Che at the center. Even though they knew their Junior Brother's strength was unfathomable, facing two veteran Saint Kings still put immense pressure on them.

"Che'er, be careful!" Yun Mengyao transmitted her voice, pushing her Heavenly Heart Dao Body to its limit, searching for weak points in the spatial blockade.

"Junior Brother, we'll hold them off later, you find a chance to leave first!" Thunder Roar Ravine gritted his teeth, thunder raging around him, even showing signs of burning his origin.

Although Mu Qingxue said nothing, her Guixu Sword Intent had been raised to its peak. The Wuchen Sword let out a resolute hum, clearly preparing for a death battle.

However, Xuanyuan Che, who was tightly protected at the center by the three, showed no panic at all under the overwhelming pressure of the two Saint Kings. Instead, a hint of… impatience appeared on his face?

He gently patted the shoulders of Yan Lie and Yun Mengyao, who were blocking in front, and slowly walked out of the protective circle formed by the three.

To everyone's disbelief, he faced the two Saint Kings alone and sighed:

"First the small ones, now the old ones… Honestly, it's endless."

He raised his eyes, looking at the two figures in the sky like deities, his gaze gradually turning cold and majestic.

"With just your two old bones, you think you can stop me?"
