If You Take Another Step Forward, Heaven and Earth Will Turn Upside Down

Rumble!

A hundred-zhang mountain descended from the heavens, trailing billowing dust as it smashed down with ruthless force.

Such terrifying might—if it struck Cloudwater City while no one defended it, the entire city would be buried!

The million residents of Cloudwater City would be wiped from existence!

This was a Golden Core True Person!

This was an Upper Immortal of the Lingxiao Sect!

With the Lingxiao Sect around, it was absolutely impossible for the Heavenly Dao Sect to rise!

"Good thing I didn't join the Heavenly Dao Sect, or I'd be dead as a doornail today!"

"Yeah, thank goodness we didn't!"

"The Heavenly Dao Sect may be formidable, but how could it possibly be mentioned in the same breath as the Lingxiao Sect?!"

Many people sighed, believing the Heavenly Dao Sect was destined for destruction.

The Lingxiao Sect's strength was right there for all to see. How could the Heavenly Dao Sect possibly contend against it?

The mountain drew closer and closer, falling faster and faster. Even True Person Yuan revealed a cold smile.

He had thought the Heavenly Dao Sect was something special. So this was all it amounted to!

However, just as the mountain was about to crash into the Heavenly Dao Sect's peak, it eerily came to a complete stop in midair.

"Hm?!"

True Person Yuan frowned slightly. He extended an arm and drew another talisman through the air.

"Suppress it for this True Person!"

The talisman shot into the mountain, but strangely, the mountain still would not obey his control and remained fixed in midair.

Whoosh!

A beam of light shot from the Heavenly Dao Sect's summit, instantly piercing through the entire mountain and slicing it apart horizontally.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Then, beams of light flickered one after another, ceaselessly cutting through the mountain.

Bang!

In the end, that hundred-zhang mountain shattered outright, turning into a heap of stone dust that scattered through the air.

At that moment, everyone in Cloudwater City stood dumbfounded, their faces blank with shock. Even their breathing seemed to have stopped!

"Hisss~~~!"

"H-How is that possible?!!"

Everyone was utterly aghast, their eyes filled with disbelief. They simply did not know what to say.

Every time, they thought the Heavenly Dao Sect was finished, yet every time, the outcome surpassed all expectations!

Even the powerful attack of a Golden Core True Person from the Lingxiao Sect had been effortlessly annihilated!

"Hm? The Heavenly Dao Sect's Sect Master truly is a Golden Core True Person. No wonder he had the strength to kill Ling Langxuan and the others!"

True Person Yuan narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharp as blades as it pierced through layers of cloud and mist, locking onto the Heavenly Dao Sect's mountain gate.

There, a figure could vaguely be seen stepping out, standing with his hands behind his back as though he were taking a leisurely stroll through a courtyard, calm and composed.

"Su Bai, Sect Master of the Heavenly Dao Sect, come out and receive your death!!!"

He roared in a deep voice, his vast and powerful shout shaking the heavens and causing even the void to tremble.

Whoosh!

In an instant, a violent gale swept over the area for ten li around, sending everyone's robes fluttering and their long hair flying wildly.

Under such terrifying pressure, everyone in Cloudwater City felt their chests tighten, nearly unable to breathe.

"Is this a Golden Core True Person? Too terrifying!"

Everyone trembled like leaves. Golden Core True Persons were simply too horrifying!

They were in an entirely different world from Foundation Establishment cultivators!

As soon as True Person Yuan finished speaking, a young man in white robes slowly walked out from within the Heavenly Dao Sect.

The young man had sword-like brows and starry eyes, extraordinarily handsome, his figure straight as a spear.

His eyes in particular shone as brilliantly as stars, dazzling and soul-stirring.

A faintly amused smile hung at the corner of his lips as he took a step forward and appeared in midair outside Cloudwater City.

With his hands behind his back, he looked toward True Person Yuan and the others. "People from the Lingxiao Sect?"

"Heh..."

Seeing this, True Person Yuan could not help but sneer. With his hands behind his back, he looked down upon Su Bai from above.

"Su Bai, Sect Master of the Heavenly Dao Sect, you finally decided to come out."

"This True Person is an elder of the Lingxiao Sect's Enforcement Hall. I came here today to send all of you to the afterlife!"

True Person Yuan snorted coldly, his gaze icy and his killing intent bone-chilling.

At that moment, another elder stepped out from the ancient war chariot, his gaze fixed fiercely upon Su Bai.

"Su Bai, you killed my disciple and slaughtered more than a thousand members of my sect. Today, death will be impossible for you to escape!"

The elder was thin and withered, his beard and hair snow-white. His gaze was sinister and venomous as he stood at the edge of the ancient war chariot, looking down at Su Bai.

His aura was also immensely powerful. He was clearly another Golden Core True Person, possessing formidable strength.

"Linglang True Person, ancestor of the Jade Spirit Sect?" Su Bai said calmly as he looked at him.

"That's right, it is this ancestor!"

"Today, this ancestor will take your dog life!!"

Linglang True Person grinned viciously, overwhelming killing intent erupting from his eyes.

"And me—the Lingxiao Sect's guest elder, Liu He. The world calls me the White Crane True Person!"

The final person on the war chariot stepped forward. He was a middle-aged man holding a feather fan, his gaze cold, sinister, and ferocious.

"The Lingxiao Sect's Enforcement Hall has assembled to sweep away every obstacle for the Lingxiao Sect!"

Behind True Person Yuan and the others, thousands of Lingxiao Sect disciples rose into the sky from the dozen-plus Flying Vessels.

In an instant, there were five to six thousand people throughout the entire area, densely packed like locusts as they covered the sky!

Among them were more than a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators!

The rest were all above the Seventh Level of Qi Refinement!

The Lingxiao Sect's Enforcement Hall had almost entirely arrived!

Three Golden Core True Persons, over a hundred great Foundation Establishment cultivators, and several thousand Late Qi Refining cultivators!

This formation was truly frightening beyond measure!

The people of Cloudwater City turned pale as paper at the sight.

"Alas~!"

Many could not help closing their eyes, shaking their heads and sighing.

"With three Golden Core True Persons arriving together, the Heavenly Dao Sect is in grave danger!"

"Though the Heavenly Dao Sect's Sect Master is powerful, he is alone. Even if his methods reach the heavens, it will be difficult for him to turn the tide!"

"That's right. The Lingxiao Sect is determined to destroy the Heavenly Dao Sect this time. No one can stop them!"

Many people from Cloudwater City secretly shook their heads, filled with regret.

Although they were not members of the Heavenly Dao Sect, the sect was, after all, located near Cloudwater City.

The stronger the Heavenly Dao Sect became, the more Cloudwater City's status would rise with the tide. More people would come drawn by its fame, greatly increasing Cloudwater City's strength.

Moreover, the stronger the Heavenly Dao Sect became, the safer Cloudwater City would be. Whether the sect was hypocritically benevolent or not, at least on the surface, it had to protect the region!

The outrageously rampant bandit dens around Cloudwater City would be greatly reduced. Unlike now, there was not even a respectable powerful sect nearby, allowing the bandits to run wild.

And with bandits running rampant, it became extremely unsafe for outside merchant caravans to travel to Cloudwater City. They could easily be attacked by bandits and suffer devastating losses!

Thus, Cloudwater City's economy had declined more and more over the years.

Yet this Heavenly Dao Sect had provoked the Lingxiao Sect, one of the Empire's two great Overlords!

"Su Bai, surrender obediently. Save us the trouble of acting ourselves!"

True Person Yuan looked at Su Bai with a mocking expression.

His eyes carried contempt and disdain.

Three against one—the advantage was ours!

There was absolutely no way Su Bai could defeat them. His death was certain!

"You sure talk a lot of nonsense!"

Su Bai curled his lips and lazily stretched, his expression as calm as ever.

"If you take another step forward, heaven and earth will turn upside down."
