Ambush? The Great Wilderness Covenant, a Hand That Tore the Firmament! Exterminate the Entire Clan! Move!

"Master, are we taking this little girl with us?"

The Treasure Seeking Spirit Rat hovered in the air, carrying a girl far larger than itself. The sight looked strangely incongruous.

"No."

What would he bring this thing along for?

He had merely spotted a True Dragon hatchling here and recalled that drop of True Dragon Essence Blood he had refined during his own Rite of Passage. That was what had stirred his interest.

What use was there in keeping this Destruction Sword Body?

The prodigies of every clan and faction had restrictions placed upon them. They could not be enslaved.

Rather than feed another mouth, he might as well toss her aside and let her fend for herself.

Killing her now would bring no benefit either.

Obediently, the Treasure Seeking Spirit Rat tossed her away. The girl's forehead slammed heavily against a rock, and she fell into an even deeper sleep.

"Let's go. The next sacred medicine site."

The Blue Scale Eagle took flight again, soaring through the heavens.

Sacred medicines were exceedingly rare to begin with, and their owners would go to every possible length to conceal them, keeping their miraculous properties hidden to avoid being robbed.

Thus, even the Treasure Seeking Spirit Rat knew of only four places that definitely contained sacred medicines.

He quickly cleared the remaining two sites, killing several Desolate Beasts at the peak of the Nirvana Realm.

After consuming another two immature sacred medicines, Lu Qingyun successfully entered the five-hundred-millionth level of the Blood Moving Secret Treasury!

Just as Lu Qingyun was about to head for the final sacred medicine site, his figure suddenly paused.

His eyes shifted slightly as he gazed into the distance, his expression turning grave.

A moment later, a Black Turtle carrying an entire mountain range on its back tore through space!

Its enormous, thick four limbs stood above the Great Wilderness like sky-piercing pillars.

Atop the mountain range on its back stood a middle-aged man dressed in black. His gaze was cold, his aura deep and enduring, while the wind made his sleeves snap and flutter.

True God Realm!

Two true gods!

Beings capable of founding a kingdom in the Great Wilderness and ruling over hundreds of millions of living creatures!

Lu Qingyun's pupils shrank slightly. This was the first time he had seen a True God Realm expert outside the Lineage!

Only, it seemed... the visitors had not come with good intentions?

"Lu Family Thirteenth Sequence, Lu Qingyun."

The middle-aged man spoke, not as though confirming it, but as though stating a fact.

There was a trace of relief in his voice.

He had tracked Lu Qingyun's trail all the way here.

Only then did he clearly realize what kind of monster this Lu Family Sequence, said in the intelligence reports to have fallen from the clouds into the abyss, truly was.

At ten years old, with the cultivation of the Blood Moving Secret Treasury, he slaughtered peak Nirvana Realm experts as though butchering dogs!

Even after scouring the ancient history of the Great Wilderness, one would never find anything so shocking and earth-shattering!

He was fortunate. He had only used his status as the team leader to assign himself the easiest target.

Yet by a twist of fate, he had stumbled upon such a bizarre discovery!

It was easy to imagine that if his Nirvana Realm subordinates had come to deal with this child, they would surely have gone and never returned!

They might even have startled the snake in the grass.

If Lu Qingyun escaped back to the Lu Family, they would have no chance at all!

After all, who could have imagined that dignified Nirvana Realm cultivators would be slain by a child in the Blood Moving Secret Treasury!

"You came to kill me? Do your Lineage elders know?"

Lu Qingyun asked calmly.

He did not foolishly ask what family the man came from or why he had come to kill him.

He merely mentioned something that seemed utterly unrelated.

Lineage elders?

The middle-aged man did not understand Lu Qingyun's meaning.

Since he had come out here, this was naturally the result of the Lineage's deliberations!

Thinking of his own Lineage, pride could not help but swell within the middle-aged man's heart!

His Lineage had risen in merely a thousand years from an insignificant minor family into an exceptionally powerful one!

It could even wrestle with the alchemy Lineage, the Lin Family!

And this generation was even more extraordinary!

A Peerless Prodigy with a top-tier physique had appeared within the Lineage!

What was this, if not heaven's will!

In this generation, the Chen Family was destined to rise another step!

Without the slightest hesitation, the clan made its decision: at any cost, they would clear every obstacle from the path of that prodigy!

Having fought their way out from among countless small clans, their ruthlessness naturally needed no questioning.

Therefore, so that their own prodigy could shine brilliantly in this generation, rise to the pinnacle, and bring supreme glory to the Lineage,

the entire Chen Family mobilized its full strength, seizing the chance while these disciples of top Great Wilderness families were out training to kill every last one of them!

Because they knew that when the descendants of those powerful families went out to train, they were truly left entirely to their own devices, without even protectors of the Dao!

An unspoken rule against the strong bullying the weak?

Utter bullshit!

If a Lineage wished to prosper, it had to stop at nothing!

In their eyes, those powerful families had long since lost their drive to advance amid the glory of endless years.

Otherwise, why had no family thought of doing this for so many years?

Of course, there was another possibility.

Those families had already rotted away and could not find people like him, people willing to lay down their lives for their Lineage!

The middle-aged man's eyes burned with fanaticism. He was already imagining the Chen Family's True Dragon soaring through the heavens and bringing the Lineage to the peak of power!

Perhaps even elevating it into one of the top families!

"With the life of one True God, in exchange for yours, you should feel honored."

The middle-aged man buried the turmoil in his heart deeply. After taking the initiative to sever his own memories, nothing remained in his eyes but bone-piercing killing intent!

The earth trembled. The unimaginably massive Black Turtle slowly sank underground, while Mysterious Yellow energy rose up, pressing down upon Lu Qingyun like a thousand jun.

Yet Lu Qingyun was not crushed into pulp. Instead, he remained standing tall, as though the crushing pressure did not exist.

However, the Black Turtle's pressure was merely meant to restrain him. The true killing intent lay with the other True God Realm expert!

A hint of surprise appeared in the middle-aged man's eyes. He acknowledged Lu Qingyun's monstrous talent.

But he did not believe Lu Qingyun could rival a True God.

The gap between the Nirvana Realm and the True God Realm was like a heavenly chasm. The single word "god" already showed that the two occupied entirely different planes of existence!

Without another word, divine power condensed in the middle-aged man's hand. A blazing golden wheel formed there, as brilliant and resplendent as the scorching sun, radiating extreme heat!

But just as he prepared to throw the golden wheel, his movements froze.

The eagerness in Lu Qingyun's eyes also came to a halt.

At the same time, both looked upward. Above the vast firmament, an aged palm covered in wrinkles reached down. With a sudden exertion of force, the sky ripped open into a boundless gash!

Within it lay endless void, so deep it seemed capable of dragging in the souls of all living beings!

At the same time, an icy roar brimming with towering fury rang out.

"Third-rate Chen Family, you violated the Great Wilderness Covenant and slew a prodigy of my Lu Family! Exterminate the entire clan!"

Lu Qingyun's expression turned startled. He knew that voice well.

It belonged to the old fisherman—the Sixth Ancestor of the Lu Family!

He knew prodigies would fall.

But he had never expected that the first fallen prodigy would actually be someone from the Lu Family!

Beams of blood light that reached the heavens suddenly flared up, appearing on both the middle-aged man before Lu Qingyun and the Black Turtle below.

The instant the blood light appeared, the two True Gods' eyes filled with horror and terror. They possessed no ability to resist as they were forcibly taken away!

At the same time.

Every living being in the Great Wilderness could clearly see a heavenly curtain.

Within that curtain, several billion beings connected to the Chen Family were forcibly gathered in the air.

They were densely packed, like countless ants.

Every face was filled with terror and confusion. Some broke down sobbing, while others stared blankly ahead.

Whether they were experts whose cultivation reached the heavens and surpassed the True God Realm, or ordinary people with not the slightest cultivation, at this moment, they were all the same.

Explosions of flesh and blood rang out. In the scene, bodies of Chen Family members suddenly burst apart one after another like firecrackers, spraying flesh and blood everywhere like blooming fireworks.

This feast of fireworks continued for three days and three nights!

Only after every Chen Family member and every person connected to the Chen Family had exploded did the heavenly curtain finally vanish.

But it was far from over!

Within the rift, the Sixth Ancestor of the Lu Family unleashed supreme divine arts, attempting to forcibly calculate the karmic thread behind the Chen Family.

Yet just as he found the slightest clue,

a sky-supporting hand disrupted the heavenly secrets!

"Ming Family member! You seek death!"

The Sixth Ancestor of the Lu Family flew into a rage. His hair whipped about as his cultivation surged to its peak!

He raised his hand and exchanged a palm strike with the other party across empty space.

Yet this was precisely what the other party wanted. All heavenly secrets were thrown into complete chaos, and even with his boundless divine powers, he could no longer uncover the truth!

"Savage Lu, wasn't it just one clansman who lost because his skills were inferior? It's not as though all the prodigies of this generation of the Lu Family have been wiped out. What are you so anxious about?"

The Ancestor of the Ming Family wore a calm expression as he silently placed his faintly trembling right hand behind his back.

Even as he inwardly cursed that this savage's strength had risen by quite a bit again, his words brimmed with gloating delight.

There was even a trace of regret.

Such a sizable family had only managed to take out one prodigy.

Savage Lu had reacted so quickly that the gains from this attempt were not particularly great.

Still, it was not as though they had gained nothing. With one prodigy possessing a top-tier physique gone, the Lu Family would have one fewer supreme combatant in the future.

Meanwhile, the Ming Family had merely offered some guidance.

They had lost nothing for it. As one side waned and the other waxed, they had made a killing!

"Skills inferior?"

The Sixth Ancestor of the Lu Family's expression gradually calmed. He raised his head and stared at the Ancestor of the Ming Family before suddenly saying, "Then if you get beaten to death, that means your skills were inferior too. You deserve to die, right?"

Seeing that expression on the Sixth Ancestor of the Lu Family's face, the Ancestor of the Ming Family could not help but feel a pang of unease.

He was just about to throw out a few harsh words and leave when, before he could speak, the Sixth Ancestor of the Lu Family let out a thunderous roar!

"Move!!"
