Kill Enough of Them, and They'll Be Afraid

The Flame burning in his Heavenly Human Realm began to extinguish rapidly, as if they had encountered their nemesis, as if the path he had comprehended was beginning to crumble.

This scene shocked Liu Ruiyuan, almost causing his Dao Heart to collapse.

"How is this possible? My Heavenly Human Realm has not been broken, how could it be invaded by Spell Art? Even Yin-Yang Mighty Figure could not have done this!"

This scene terrified him far more than being physically defeated.

This means that this flaw comes from his very foundation and is impossible to repair! It is far more devastating to him than problems with Cultivation Method or Dao Arts.

So much so that he failed to make the right reaction in that instant.

That's why, by the time they came to their senses, it was already too late.

Strands of Kui Water Qi seeped into his body, invaded his Divine Court, and attempted to freeze his Divine Soul.

Realizing his own state, Liu Ruiyuan's heart sank to the bottom.

However, he was naturally unwilling to accept this, and without hesitation, Flame blazed up in his mind, directly Burning Soul Origin.

With a roar, his power surged from the Three Tribulations of Heavenly Change Realm to the Heavenly Transformation Peak.

The immense power actually forced the invading Vital Energy back.

Gu Yuanqing shook his head and smiled, "It's too late. If it were at the beginning, there would still be a chance."

As soon as he finished speaking, he snapped his fingers.

The invading moisture suddenly changed, radiating boundless cold. His Physical Body was instantly frozen, and the raging Flame in the Heavenly Human World also abruptly stopped for a moment.

The Heavenly Human Realm that existed Outer Realm collapsed, and the Two Dharma Treasures they were riding lost control and fell down.

Gu Yuanqing flicked his fingers a few times, Formless Calamity Finger was activated again.

As all paths collapsed, Liu Ruiyuan's Physical Body instantly turned into dust, scattering into the Void.

His Heavenly Human World was exposed in the Ancient Realm, but without the support of Physical Body, it had not yet fully transitioned from illusion to reality and could not last long. As soon as it Present World, it began to ripple, and then countless cracks began to appear, peeling off piece by piece like flower petals, before dissipating into the Void.

The only thing still holding on was his burning Divine Soul. Liu Ruiyuan was using Secret Method, trying to abandon everything, hoping to escape even a Divine Soul.

But then they realized that under the influence of Gu Yuanqing's Heavenly Human Realm, even Secret Method could not instantly connect to the Physical Body.

At this moment, his heart was ashen. If he could escape with even a Divine Soul, he could preserve a portion of his cultivation and also bring back some information about Gu Yuanqing.

But because of that brief delay, it was all too late.

The North Spring Mountain Phantom pressed down, instantly imprisoning his power, which was then obliterated into the Void.

In the distance, Chen Baotian turned and fled, but how could Gu Yuanqing let him escape?

With a flick of his finger, it was still the Formless Calamity Finger. Chen Baotian had only entered the Ancient Realm as a wisp of Divine Soul, and his strength was barely comparable to that of Celestial Person. How could he withstand Gu Yuanqing's finger strike? He was killed on the spot without even a chance to escape.

A major battle came to an abrupt end, in a way that surprised everyone.

Even Lu Zeyu, who had been watching the game the whole time, was momentarily taken aback.

The Three Tribulations of Heavenly Change are absolute masters in the Exquisite World, and the power that Liu Ruiyuan brought with him to the Ancient Realm this time is not weak. There are very few people in the entire Exquisite World who can achieve this level.

The Cultivator were stunned by this scene. They did not know that Liu Ruiyuan's divided Split Soul had been completely obliterated. But even if it could force a famous Great Cultivator from the Sanyang Sect to abandon everything in the Ancient Realm and directly return to his Physical Body, it meant that Liu Ruiyuan had entered a desperate situation!

Otherwise, if we just hold on a little longer, other experts from the Sanyang Sect will surely come to our rescue.

Some Void Heaven Cultivator from the Sanyang Sect who were watching from a distance also turned and left. Since the Sect Elder had all been killed, if the other side saw them, they certainly wouldn't mind killing a few more.

Gu Yuanqing reached out, and the Nine Yang Cauldron, Floating Dust Seal, and Storage Bag that were about to fall into the Boundless River flew into his hand. Under the Heavenly Human Domain, even the power stirred up by the chain reaction of the Boundless River could not affect him.

Lu Zeyu darted forward, arriving at a distance of thirty feet from Gu Yuanqing, and bowed respectfully. "Daoist Friend."

Gu Yuanqing remained calm, smiled slightly, and cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "Sect Master."

Lu Zeyu remained silent for a long while before slowly speaking, "First of all, I must apologize."

Gu Yuanqing asked in surprise, "Why do you say that?"

Lu Zeyu said in a deep voice, "I apologize, but I may have to break my promise."

"Who does 'Sect Master' refer to?" Gu Yuanqing asked, somewhat puzzled.

Lu Zeyu said, "I said before that Daoist Friend were here by the Boundless River, the Illusionary Spirit Sect would definitely protect you, but..."

Gu Yuanqing chuckled, "So that's what you meant. I've said before that this is my personal matter, and I'm not a disciple of the Illusionary Spirit Sect. Sect Master, you don't need to take it to heart."

Lu Zeyu said, "Regardless, I hope Daoist Friend understand my predicament. My Illusionary Spirit Sect is not afraid of the Sanyang Sect. However, the Sanyang Sect's strength is comparable to that of my Illusionary Spirit Sect. Although I am the Sect Master, I cannot drag all the Sect's disciples into the chaos of war."

Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "Sect Master, there's no need for further explanation. I understand."

Lu Zeyu smiled and said, "Daoist Friend for your understanding, Daoist Friend. Your cultivation is extraordinary. However, I must remind you that you have killed three Three Heavenly Humans the Three Sanyang Sect, including Liu Ruiyuan, who was Enforcement Elder of the Sanyang Sect and Prospective Yin-Yang -Yang realm. The Sanyang Sect will definitely not let this go. Privately, this has almost severed Liu Ruiyuan's Path of Yin-Yang. Publicly, many people know about this matter. If the Sanyang Sect does nothing, it will lose face. Therefore, Daoist Friend, please be careful."

Gu Yuanqing smiled calmly, "Thank you for the reminder, Sect Master. However, the Sanyang Sect is unwilling to let this go. I will accept the punishment. It's just a matter of killing a few more people. Once they've killed enough, they'll be afraid, and then everything will be fine."

Lu Zeyu shook his head and smiled, "In that case, Daoist Friend, you know what I mean. To be honest, I also have some opinions about the Sanyang Sect. However, as the Sect Illusionary Spirit Sect Master, my every move represents the Sect's will. The safety of Cultivator in the Sect rests on my shoulders. I am not as carefree as you are, Fellow Daoist Friend."

Gu Yuanqing laughed loudly, "That's true. If I'm alone and can't win, I can just withdraw from the Ancient Realm. What can the Sanyang Sect do to me? The Illusionary Spirit Sect is different. It has many Cultivator. How can its Sect Master act as recklessly as I do, acting solely on his own whims?"

"Daoist Friend's temperament is actually quite suitable for my Illusionary Spirit Sect."

Looking at Gu Yuanqing, who remained calm and composed even when facing a major sect like the Sanyang Sect, Lu Zeyu couldn't help but feel a little envious. The Illusionary Spirit Sect Sect's teachings emphasized Spirituality freedom and unrestrained behavior. Only when one's mind and nature were in harmony with the Dao could one more easily glimpse the Great Dao.

But with the safety of the Sect resting on his shoulders, how could he possibly do such a thing?

"Haha, otherwise, how could I have formed such a good relationship with your sect?"

Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a smile.

After a moment, Lu Zeyu cupped his hands and said, "Then please be careful, Daoist Friend. I should be returning now."

Gu Yuanqing returned the greeting. "Sect Master, please proceed."

Lu Zeyu turned and left.

Gu Yuanqing stood in the Void, watching his back, his expression returning to calm.

He knew that the feud with the Sanyang Sect was only just beginning.

Although he was unwilling to kill, sometimes if you back down, others will take advantage of you, thinking you are weak and easy to bully, which will only cause more trouble.

Therefore, if one is unwilling to compromise oneself, then the only option is to kill!

"After the Floating World is upgraded to the Exquisite World, given the nature of the Sanyang Sect, conflicts may arise sooner or later. So why not start now?"

For some reason, Gu Yuanqing felt a faint sense of anticipation for the great battle that might follow.

He chuckled softly and murmured, "Anyway, the days of fishing and cultivation are a bit monotonous, so this will just be a way to spice things up."
