The Southern Continent's treasure land, Tunyuan Pavilion.

The concentration of Spiritual Energy here is much higher than in other places; by this standard, even the most prosperous cities in the Southern Continent cannot compare.

Compared to their brutal treatment of the ley lines of other major counties, they were very protective of the ley lines belonging to their own Mountain Gate.

It's worth mentioning that, as one of only three top-tier forces in the Southern Continent, the architectural layout of the Tunyuan Pavilion is quite interesting.

The densely packed pavilions were all built on the mountain peak, and although there was nothing connecting them, there was a mysterious feeling that they were all one.

It is as if flesh and blood are part of the human body, and every mountain peak here has a corresponding connection.

At this moment, under the sunlight.

The buildings here gleamed, and an old man with a long beard sat upright on a mountaintop, disciplinedly performing his daily meditation.

With his eyesight, he could clearly see the raging ley lines flowing beneath the earth's surface.

Although images of those large southern prefectures whose earth veins had been drained flashed through his mind from time to time, he did not feel any sense of guilt.

On the contrary, I felt a little regretful.

If he weren't afraid of being caught by the Southern Continent Director of the Celestial Observatory, he wouldn't have used such a crude method to extract the earth's veins; he would have used a more sophisticated Magic Power.

Instead of swallowing it whole and absorbing it into the body.

"What a pity..."

The Old Ancestor of Devouring Origin stroked his beard and sighed, for there was simply no good way to resolve this matter.

The Southern Continent Heavenly Supervision Department was probably well aware of his actions.

However, apart from the undeniable coincidence in timing, the Devouring Heaven Pavilion never left a trace when it devoured the earth's veins, making it arguably the most unyielding sect in the Southern Continent.

Under such circumstances, even if Chen Zhan from the Southern Continent was dissatisfied, there was nothing he could do...

Buzz!

The sudden vibration of the Communication Jade Slip interrupted the long-bearded old man's thoughts.

The fact that someone dared to disturb his meditation at this time must mean that something major has happened in the Southern Continent.

Therefore, he did not delay and directly connected to the communication via the Jade Slip.

Calm voice:

"What is it?"

"Old Ancestor!" The Tunyuan Pavilion on the other end of the Jade Slip cried out in a panic.

"This is terrible! An elder from the Eastern Continent named Ye Li has arrived at the Southern Continent's Heavenly Supervision Department and has wiped out the entire Heavenly Talisman Sect this morning!!"

"What?!"

Upon first hearing the unfamiliar name, the long-bearded old man remained calm, but after hearing the subsequent events, he immediately gasped in shock:

"Where is that Old Ancestor of the Heavenly Talisman Sect? Isn't he here?!"

"From what I understand... he's probably... dead..."

The Tunyuan Pavilion said tremblingly.

Even though they were both True Lord at the Creation Realm, he knew how much stronger that Heavenly Talisman Old Ancestor was than him.

Even if it were their own Old Ancestor facing it, at most they would only have a firm upper hand.

To kill it would inevitably come at an extremely heavy price!

But what about that elder from the Eastern Continent?

By the time the Tunyuan Pavilion received the news, the Heavenly Talisman Sect had already been sealed off and its members wiped out. This meant that the entire annihilation operation was carried out exceptionally quickly, even with unstoppable momentum!

This news was nothing short of a bombshell for the Tunyuan Pavilion!

How could this be... The long-bearded old man couldn't help but be moved.

Could it be that another genius has emerged in China, capable of harnessing the power of Faithful Wish Power?!

There is only this one answer.

Otherwise, he really couldn't understand where such a god-like figure came from in Shenzhou, who could kill the Heavenly Talisman Old Ancestor, who was at the sixth level of the Creation Realm, in such a short time... His combat power was probably no weaker than Ying Potian's normal state!

A being driven by the power of will at the eighth level of the Creation Realm?!

Thinking of this, the long-bearded old man's face twitched.

If that's the case, then there's absolutely no time to lose; we must cheer for them as quickly as possible!

Such a powerful entity would certainly not tolerate the Heavenly Pavilion's past actions.

The poor old man was just lamenting the state of the earth's veins...

The long-bearded old man felt bitter inside. Without saying another word, he rose from the ground and shouted at the Tunyuan Pavilion on the other end of the Jade Slip:

"Quickly prepare generous gifts and come with me to the Southern Continent Heavenly Supervision Department!"

The Devouring Old Ancestor spoke at an extremely fast pace, clearly knowing that the matter had reached a point where every second counted.

Surrender and be arrested.

They are never the same thing.

Fortunately, after activating the power of one's vows, one will inevitably be weak for a period of time, at least three to five months...

Just as the long-bearded old man felt a sense of relief, he suddenly felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet to the top of his head!

The sky suddenly darkened.

He looked up at the sky and saw a black dot that stood out conspicuously against the clear blue Firmament.

However, if one strains their eyes, they can see that it is not an ordinary black dot, but clearly a young True Lord dressed in black robes!

Yes, Martial Dao True Lord--

The newcomer, dressed in flowing black robes, had an indifferent expression, yet his body was enveloped in a Martial Dao pressure akin to a heavenly Heavenly Tribulation!

"This... it's here?!"

Just the instant I saw the black dot.

The Devouring Old Ancestor felt a chill run down his spine, followed by a profound sense of bewilderment.

Didn't he just destroy the Heavenly Talisman Sect?

It hasn't even been a few breaths since I received the news!

Even if it's an attempt to induce someone to confess, shouldn't there be a grace period?!

At that moment, the Swallowing Old Ancestor's pupils contracted to their maximum.

He intended to say something polite and friendly.

However, the young True Lord high in the sky clearly did not have the same intention.

"..."

The newcomer slightly raised his hand, and an extremely dark point of light was born from his palm. The surrounding space was covered with spiderweb-like black cracks, and the air within a radius of tens of thousands of miles suddenly burst into high-frequency resonance.

Along with that slightly amused young voice, it shook the entire Southern Continent!

"This is a gift of parting."
