Star-Destroying Overlord Fist, the Fall of the Overlord Tiger Sect

Meanwhile.

"Hmph! I'm at the fifth level of Core Formation. Taking my life won't be so easy!"

Ba Cangtu spoke with haughty confidence.

Core Formation cultivators could condense the core of their life into a Source Core that held at least half of their essence.

Only by destroying that Source Core could one truly kill them.

Ba Cangtu was at the fifth level of Core Formation. How solid must his Source Core be? Naturally, he was confident.

"Star-Destroying Overlord Fist!"

Ba Cangtu bellowed and drove his Source Power to its limit. Tens of thousands of giant fists formed in an instant and hurtled toward Mo Lingyuan.

Boom!

The fists flashed forward like lightning, shattering space wherever they passed. Their might was plain to see!

"Hm?" Mo Lingyuan raised an eyebrow. As expected of an ant at the fifth level of Core Formation. He certainly knows how to put on a show!

"Perish!"

Mo Lingyuan surged his Source Power again, strengthening the pressure.

Boom!

A thunderous crash rang out above the Overlord Tiger Sect. The apparitions of tigers and giant fists vanished without a trace!

"How can this be?!"

Ba Cangtu and the other three jolted, unable to believe their eyes.

They had never imagined that the man before them could dissolve their all-out attacks without using a single technique.

That could only mean he was far stronger than they were!

Run!

The four of them had only that one thought.

Boom!

A crushing pressure descended and enveloped them.

"Ah! No!"

Ba Cangtu and the other three screamed in agony, sweat pouring down like rain.

Crack!

Ba Cangtu's body disintegrated. The Source Core he had prided himself on appeared for only an instant before crumbling to dust!

As for Linghu Ying and the other two, whose cultivation was lower than his, their Source Cores never even had a chance to appear. Bodies and cores alike were reduced to ashes!

Whoosh!

After effortlessly killing all four, Mo Lingyuan descended into the Overlord Tiger Sect and swept through its grounds.

Half an hour later, he left with a smile.

Heavenly Mist Sect.

Inside the Sect.

The Discussion Hall.

"Sect Master, the Overlord Tiger Sect has been destroyed."

Mo Lingyuan delivered his report.

"These are the resources I found there: 320 Supreme Source Stones, 1,610 upper-grade Source Stones, 3,800 middle-grade Source Stones, and 6,435 lower-grade Source Stones."

"There are also 300 Storage Bags, several Yellow-Tier Lower Grade manuals, one Yellow-Tier Middle Grade cultivation manual, and other resources..."

"They're all in this Storage Bag. Please take a look, Sect Master."

With that, Mo Lingyuan took out a Storage Bag and handed it to Li Moqing.

"Thank you for the effort, Elder Mo."

Li Moqing accepted the Storage Bag with a light smile.

That many Source Stones? As expected of the fifth-ranked power in Search Province!

Perfect. I was short on Source Stones for my breakthrough!

His face remained as still as an ancient well, though his thoughts were anything but calm.

"It was my duty."

Looking utterly unruffled, Mo Lingyuan moved to sit down.

"Elder Mo, go to the Armory beside the Scripture Repository and choose a Spirit Weapon."

Li Moqing's words brought him straight back to his feet.

"A Spirit Weapon?!"

Mo Lingyuan raised an eyebrow. Even he did not own a weapon of that caliber!

"Thank you, Sect Master!"

Delighted, Mo Lingyuan turned into a streak of light and departed.

"Xingfeng, Muxue, if you lack Source Stones for a breakthrough, you can ask me for some."

"Xingfeng, Lü Liu, take these two Storage Bags. You won't have to carry your things in cloth sacks anymore."

After Mo Lingyuan left, Li Moqing spoke calmly to Zhang Xingfeng, Dongfang Muxue, and Lü Liu.

"Yes, Master."

"Thank you, Sect Master!"

The three answered.

The next day.

Search Province.

"Good news! Someone wiped out the Overlord Tiger Sect!"

"What happened? When?"

"I'm not sure. Probably yesterday!"

"No wonder I thought I heard tigers roaring yesterday. I figured tiger beasts were attacking. Turns out it was the Overlord Tiger Sect's death cry. I wonder who did it?"

"Who cares? The Overlord Tiger Sect is finally gone. We can live in peace!"

"True. It's a shame the Three-Star Spiritual Wisdom Disciple who should have joined our Spirit Wind Pavilion died along with them."

"Tell me about it. They took a Four-Star Spiritual Wisdom Disciple from our Dream Star Tower, too!"

"Damn that Overlord Tiger Sect. Even in ruin, they dragged others down with them!"

Two days later.

Heavenly Mist Sect.

Inside the Sect.

The Discussion Hall.

"Guyu, have you recovered?"

Seated above them, Li Moqing asked with concern.

"Thank you for asking, Master. Thanks to the Sect's Source Qi and Elder Mo's treatment, I'm eighty percent recovered!"

Chen Guyu answered at once.

"And thank you, Elder Mo, for avenging my family, and thank you, Junior Sister Lü Liu, Eldest Senior Brother, and Second Senior Sister, for taking care of me!"

He turned toward Mo Lingyuan and the others, bowed, and cupped his fists, overflowing with gratitude.

His eyes filled with tears especially when he looked at Mo Lingyuan. After all, Mo Lingyuan had avenged a blood feud that had cost him his family!

"No need for that."

Mo Lingyuan and the others smiled gently.

As Chen Guyu looked at them, warmth spread through him. He had found the feeling of home again.

"Guyu, your Source Aspect is lightning, so I'll give you a Heaven-Tier Upper Grade technique—Thunder Shatters Eternity!"

Once Chen Guyu had calmed down, Li Moqing returned to the matter at hand.

"Thank you, Master!"

Chen Guyu did not get overly excited. Lü Liu had already told him much about the Sect's extraordinary resources.

When he learned that the Sect's cultivation manual was Heaven-Tier Upper Grade, he could only smile bitterly.

His entire family had been wiped out for the Star Lodging Scripture of Enlightenment, yet it was not worth even a ten-thousandth of the Sect's cultivation manual!

[Ding! Congratulations, Host! Your fabricated claim has been believed by your direct disciple Chen Guyu. The Heaven-Tier Upper Grade technique Thunder Shatters Eternity has become real!]

[The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder can pierce through all eternity, but the Host must write the technique personally!]

[This fabrication becoming real has consumed one chance to make a fabrication about Chen Guyu real, obtained when you accepted him as a disciple!]

[The Host has one chance remaining to make a fabrication about Chen Guyu real: the chance obtained when you accepted Chen Guyu as a disciple.]

Hmm... Now that Guyu believes me, I can cultivate both Sword's Initial Ultimate Intent and Thunder Shatters Eternity.

My sword and lightning Source Aspects both have corresponding Heaven-Tier Upper Grade techniques.

But finding a suitable technique for my dragon Source Aspect will be extremely difficult. Few people on the Spirit Source Continent awaken a dragon Source Aspect.

Li Moqing frowned slightly as he considered it.

Forget it. I'll wait for someone fate brings my way!

He put the thought aside and took a technique manual from his Storage Bag.

Now that Li Moqing had a Storage Bag, he had placed all the technique manuals he had written inside it, waiting for others to believe in them and turn them into Heaven-Tier Upper Grade techniques.

"This is Thunder Shatters Eternity, Guyu. Keep it safe."

Smiling, Li Moqing handed the manual to Chen Guyu.

"Yes, Master!"

Chen Guyu hurriedly accepted it and put it in his Storage Bag.

"Everyone, come with me. I'll show you what's behind the buildings east of the Sect square!"

With that, Li Moqing became a streak of white light and flew out of the hall.

"Climb onto my Abyssal Gourd!"

Seeing this, Mo Lingyuan turned to Zhang Xingfeng, Chen Guyu, and Lü Liu.

The Abyssal Gourd was the Spirit Weapon Mo Lingyuan had newly chosen. It was still purple-gold, but many times more powerful than his previous Purple-Gold Gourd!

"Yes, Elder Mo!"

The three promptly climbed aboard.

Dongfang Muxue, meanwhile, had already sped after Li Moqing on her Ice Soul.

Heavenly Mist Sect.

Behind the buildings east of the Sect square.

Before a certain tower.

"What's this?"

Mo Lingyuan and the other four landed and gazed at the imposing tower in confusion.

None of them had been behind the buildings east of the Sect square before, so naturally they had no idea what the tower was for.

"Read the stone tablet beside it. There's a detailed explanation."

Not bothering to explain, Li Moqing pointed to the tower's right.

Mo Lingyuan and the other four followed his finger.

A stone tablet came into view, bearing these words:
