In the eastern region of the Eastern Continent, within the Yin Yang Sacred Land, stood a magnificent palace.
At this moment, the palace was filled with formidable experts whose auras were terrifying.
Every one of them possessed an unfathomable aura, as deep as an abyss.
With a casual movement, they could stir the heavens themselves. They were true immortal figures.
Yet among this group of terrifying experts, a young man clad in a dark crimson robe seemed completely out of place.
There was no other reason—he was simply too young.
Sitting among people who were hundreds or even thousands of years old, he stood out all too clearly.
[ Ding~ Congratulations, you have obtained 130,000 Killing Points. ] [ Ding~ Congratulations, you have obtained 50,000 Killing Points. ] [ Ding~ Congratulations, you have obtained 230,000 Killing Points. ]
Listening to the mechanical voice constantly echoing in his mind,
although Qin Tian had heard it countless times already, his heart still burned with excitement.
Because every single Killing Point was the foundation for him to grow stronger and obtain supreme treasures.
"This world... is simply heaven for me, Qin Tian!"
Qin Tian sat in a corner of the palace. Though his expression remained calm, the occasional smile curling at his lips thoroughly betrayed him.
At that moment, a majestic middle-aged man wearing a black-and-white Yin Yang divine robe looked at Qin Tian and smiled.
"If we win this battle, Elder Qin Tian will deserve great credit. Without the Merit Record Token he invented, how could so many people in the eastern region be fighting the enemy so desperately?"
"One could say that this item's importance even surpasses that of an Ascension Realm expert."
The middle-aged man in the Yin Yang divine robe was none other than Wu Changtian, the current Holy Lord of the Yin Yang Sacred Land.
Qin Tian, who was being praised at this moment, had only joined the Yin Yang Sacred Land as an outer sect elder not long ago.
After the outbreak of this war, Qin Tian had presented the Merit Record Token to the Yin Yang Sacred Land.
Hearing the praise, Qin Tian immediately rose and cupped his fists. "Holy Lord, you flatter me. This is merely what Qin Tian ought to do. I would never dare claim credit."
"Hahaha! I never expected Elder Qin Tian to possess not only peerless talent, but such humility as well. For the Yin Yang Sacred Land to have such a genius is truly a great blessing!"
Wu Changtian laughed heartily, his eyes filled with approval as he looked at Qin Tian.
But just then, an elder spoke at a most inappropriate moment.
"What a pity. Elder Qin Tian was born in the wrong era. This age is destined to belong solely to Jun Wangyou of the Heavenly Dao Sacred Land. No matter how outstanding anyone else may be, they can only serve as his foil."
"Elder Mo, why bolster others' prestige and undermine our own?"
Someone in the palace said displeasedly, "No matter how talented Jun Wangyou is, has he not yet grown up? As long as he has not grown up, we still have a chance..."
"Enough!"
Mo Changsheng rose to his feet and shouted coldly. He swept his gaze across the people in the palace and said in an icy voice,
"Everyone, do not blame me for failing to warn you. Jun Wangyou absolutely cannot be touched!"
"You all know about the unrest in the Demon Abyss, and you all know that True Man Qingwei is one of the Ten Great Guardians!
"And Jun Wangyou is practically the apple of his eye. If anything happens to Jun Wangyou, let me ask you: who among you can withstand a single strike from True Man Qingwei's Crimson Firmament Immortal Sword?"
"If you cannot withstand it, then shut your mouths. Otherwise, should True Man Qingwei lose his head and cease guarding the Demon Abyss, allowing the Primal Heavenly Demon to break free, everyone present will suffer!"
"I have said all that needs to be said. Farewell!"
After saying that, Mo Changsheng flicked his sleeve and departed.
From a corner of the palace, Qin Tian watched calmly.
After spending several months in the Yin Yang Sacred Land, he had also figured out some of its internal affairs.
For example, the Yin Yang Sacred Land was actually divided into two branches: the Yang branch and the Yin branch.
The Yang branch was conservative, while the Yin branch was aggressive.
That elder from before belonged to the Yang branch.
Most of the people in the palace at this moment belonged to the Yin branch.
Once Mo Changsheng left, someone in the palace let out a cold laugh.
"This Mo Changsheng is truly stubborn beyond words—too foolish to even reason with!"
"Exactly. Saying Jun Wangyou cannot be killed? I think he is simply cowardly!"
Just then, Chen Jianxuan, seated near the front of the palace, suddenly said in a faint voice,
"Everyone, I have just received some news. Jun Wangyou has left the Heavenly Dao Sacred Land, and he did not bring any protectors with him."
"What?!"
Everyone in the hall was briefly stunned. Then someone's eyes lit up as they asked,
"Is the news reliable? And do we know where Jun Wangyou is now?"
Chen Jianxuan's gaze was cold. "The news is certainly reliable. According to the latest reports, Jun Wangyou should currently be in the eastern region!"
"Hm? Then that means..."
Everyone in the hall exchanged glances, each seeing the delight in the others' eyes.
At this moment, Wu Changtian, the Holy Lord of the Yin Yang Sacred Land, slowly spoke. "Jun Wangyou is my martial nephew. Since he has come to the eastern region, how can I fail to fulfill my duties as a host?"
"Go. Invite Jun Wangyou to the Yin Yang Sacred Land, so that our disciples may properly admire the bearing of the number one genius of the Mystic Realm."
At those words, many elders below revealed sinister smiles.
Indeed, killing Jun Wangyou would bring grave consequences.
But what if they did not kill him and merely... imprisoned him?
At once, all the elders cupped their fists. "We obey the Holy Lord's command."
As he slowly followed the crowd out of the hall, Qin Tian's eyes flickered.
"The number one genius of this realm, Jun Wangyou..."
"He is in the eastern region? System, investigate Jun Wangyou's information for me."
Qin Tian spoke inwardly.
Ever since he had inexplicably arrived in this world from his original world, Qin Tian had heard Jun Wangyou's name more than once.
He could not help wanting to compare himself to him.
"Let me see whether you, the number one genius of the Mystic Realm, are stronger, or whether I, the strongest expert of the True Martial Realm, am stronger!"
That was right. Qin Tian was not originally from this world, but from a world called the True Martial Realm.
In that world, people cultivated martial arts and combat techniques.
Its highest realm was known as Shattering the Void.
And Qin Tian had been the strongest expert of that world.
At the same time, he had been its greatest demon.
Because Qin Tian had slaughtered the entire True Martial Realm!
Afterward, Qin Tian shattered the void and inexplicably arrived in this world.
The strength he had cultivated in the True Martial Realm
was only roughly equivalent to the peak Nascent Soul Realm in the Mystic Realm.

Qin Tian's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly said, "Yes!"
[ 2 billion Killing Points consumed. Blocking... Block successful. ]
Qin Tian had just breathed a sigh of relief when, in the next instant,
[ Warning! Warning! The system has once again been discovered by another supreme existence, which is attempting to probe it. Consume 2 billion Killing Points to block the probe? ]
Qin Tian's heart ached so badly he could barely breathe, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!!"
[ Block successful... ]
Qin Tian was nearly numb, but just when he thought it was over, in the next instant,
[ Warning! Warning! A supreme existence is traveling through the River of Time, attempting to locate the host and erase the host's past... ] [ Warning! Warning!

"Yes, yes, yes! Hurry! Hurry!"
Qin Tian was practically going insane.
[ Ding! The host lacks sufficient Killing Points. The host now owes the Killing System 987 billion Killing Points! ] [ Erasing traces of the host's past... Erasure successful. ]
Thud!
Qin Tian instantly collapsed to the ground. His face was pale, his eyes blank, and no one knew what he was thinking at that moment.
