Ye Li: Is There Some Huge Secret Hidden Away That You Won't Let Me See?
The stated purpose was to mobilize the Southern Continent's forces to blockade the surrounding area, but in reality, all they needed to do was stabilize the foundation of the vast earth veins.
Otherwise, it would be quite restrained to actually fight.
Therefore, the deployment of manpower actually didn't take very long.
Ye Li arrived at the battlefield early.
At this moment, the morning light had not yet completely dissipated.
He stood suspended in mid-air, looking down at the three main Main Peak of the Tunyuan Pavilion below. His eyes shimmered with Magic Power, revealing the secrets hidden within the mountains below in exquisite detail.
Each mountain is adorned with dark red veins, like pulsating blood vessels leading to the meditating old man atop the peak.
The Creation Realm Grand Array fused the mountains and cultivators into a unified whole, and the Spiritual Energy of the earth veins was continuously flowing into the body of this old and frail True Lord through these "meridians".
In other words, these three Main Peak are also part of his body.
Then there's no need to be polite...
Ye Li directly unleashed the Nine Heavens Abyss Shock Canon at its perfect level. Dark light rose from his palm. Since perfecting this martial art, he had mastered its control.
There is absolutely no chance of things getting out of control.
As his slightly amused words fell, the black spot that rose in his palm became even more pure—
Buzz!!
The moment the dark light left his palm, the air for miles around him suddenly churned violently!
The Old Ancestor of the Devouring Origin's eyelids twitched violently.
A parting gift?!
What kind person would give this as a parting gift?!
Even someone as powerful as him felt a threat from that dark spot of light—an extremely deadly threat!
Magic Power surged and coursed wildly within his body.
Before the Devouring Old Ancestor could think, he took a straight step forward.
However, before he could even unleash the corresponding movement and martial arts techniques...
The dark spot of light high in the sky suddenly disappeared into the earth below, amidst the countless astonished and bewildered gazes of the entire Tunyuan Pavilion!
The moment the black light touched the earth's veins, time and space seemed to freeze for a split second.
The next moment.
Boom!!!
The vast land, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, suddenly trembled, towering mountains collapsed instantly, and a fierce gale swept in all directions!
That tiny, dark light seemed to possess a terrifying weight, and a violent shockwave rose from the ground, sweeping across the heavens and earth, directly shattering the seventy-two main Main Peak of the Tunyuan Pavilion!
The Devouring Old Ancestor felt as if his spine, which was connected to the Main Peak, was being crushed by a tremendous force. The excruciating pain penetrated deep into his bone marrow, and the enormous impact instantly turned his internal organs into blood and foam!
"Puff!!"
The old man suddenly coughed up blood, the blood mixed with powdered internal organs staining his beard red.
In his horrified gaze, fine cracks appeared in the space ahead, the light became distorted, and intense white light, like a tsunami, engulfed the entire Tunyuan Pavilion building and spread across the entire Southern Continent!
Wherever it went, the rock layers rolled like waves, Sea of Clouds hung upside down like a waterfall.
The air was filled with a tremendous tremor that could completely deafen living beings, and the fierce winds ripped up the gradually crumbling ground over a radius of tens of thousands of miles!
The Devouring Old Ancestor was filled with fear and resentment.
He was unwilling to accept it!
Having gone through countless hardships to reach this level, I haven't even had a chance to say a word to the newcomer before I'm about to be blasted to death!
How could a dignified True Lord willingly perish like this?!
In addition, a sense of enlightenment arose in the old man's mind.
He finally knew who the Martial Dao True Lord was who had spoken out from within the Central Continent, vowing to cleanse the entire Divine Continent of its internal troubles.
This is the very Elder of the Eastern Continent who caused the tragedy in the Royal City!
The fallen prodigies in the royal city were merely an appetizer; their true target was to massacre a representative top-tier power like the Devouring Tunyuan Pavilion!
But it's too late to realize it now.
I only regret that I was short-sighted. I shouldn't have had any wishful thinking before. I should have just agreed to the alliance request from the Azure Tide Pavilion!
"Ye Li! Arrogance will be punished by Heaven!! You will definitely..."
At the end of his life, the Devouring Old Ancestor's heart was filled with regret, but his body inevitably disintegrated inch by inch in the impact!
The subsequent words were also drowned out by the roar.
Boom!!!
Even with its power deliberately restrained, the terrifying shockwave still swept across the area, blasting large ring-shaped vacuum zones out of the thick clouds!
[Publicly killed the Devouring Old Ancestor Seventh Level of Creation Realm cultivator! Malice Points +!]
[Publicly killed the Tunyuan Pavilion, a first-level Creation Realm! Malice Points...]
When the dust settled, only Ye Li's dark robes fluttered in the strong wind.
He looked down at the pitch-black pit below, and a hint of pleasure finally surfaced in his eyes.
That felt great.
This place serves as the headquarters of the Tunyuan Pavilion, and all the high-ranking members of the Tunyuan Pavilion who cultivate this method are gathered in the three Main Peak. There is not a single Martial Dao cultivator who can be considered innocent.
Without a corresponding pledge of allegiance, the Tunyuan Pavilion will not allow its disciples to come here.
This method, originally intended to screen colleagues, has now become a catalyst for his own demise.
If it weren't for this incident, I really wouldn't have been able to clear the area so easily...
Ye Li let out a slightly lighter breath, finally releasing the frustration he had felt while looking at the files.
Above him, the dissipated Sea of Clouds was closing in again.
By extracting the soul of the deceased Old Ancestor Devouring Origin, Ye Li quickly learned the location of the Devouring Cloud Pavilion's treasure vault from him.
So, as he moved towards the treasure vault, he asked the soul of the Devouring Old Ancestor:
"Do you know about the dirty secrets of the other Mountain Gate?"
"May I ask you, Master... what kind of scandalous information are you referring to?"
"The kind of thing where if I find out, my whole family will die," Ye Li said.
"Then I understand." The Devouring Origin Old Ancestor spoke respectfully, showing no trace of the resentment he had just harbored after being killed.
"The Pavilion Master of the Azure Tide Pavilion in Zhongzhou once wrote me a letter inviting the Tunyuan Pavilion to form an alliance with him to jointly resist the possible purge by the Heavenly Supervision Department."
Azure Tide Pavilion.
It is one of the three pavilions of the Divine Continent, along with the Xuanming Pavilion and the Tunyuan Pavilion, and each of them has True Lord of the Creation Realm presiding over it.
It seems they had heard about the various events happening in the Central Continent Royal City and sensed the impending news early on, thus secretly beginning to rally their allies.
The reason why no invitation was sent to the Heavenly Talisman Sect was probably because they were already embroiled in the scandal of the Royal City Massacre and were recklessly putting pressure on the Southern Continent Heavenly Supervision Department.
If you haven't been involved beforehand, it's probably best to wait and see.
Rushing to win them over could prematurely expose the plan.
This single action alone demonstrates the caution of the Azure Tide Pavilion.
He probably never dreamed that even the Tunyuan Pavilion, which had not participated in the pressure incident, could be directly dragged out and wiped out by an elder from the Eastern Continent who was enforcing the law across borders.
"..."
As the Devouring Old Ancestor recounted...
Ye Li couldn't help but feel a little surprised. This Supreme Pure Divine Continent was indeed full of hidden talents. Even if their strength hadn't broken through to the Great Void Realm, their sensitivity to danger was too high.
According to the old man's spirit, the time when the Azure Tide Pavilion sent him the message was right after he had used his Dharma Image to kill the True Lord Jiuyin in the royal city.
It's too early.
Moreover, he was protecting his own life at that time.
How could the Azure Tide Pavilion be associated with the cleansing of internal strife?
At that time, they hadn't even broken through to the Creation Realm... Even if the Azure Tide Pavilion wasn't fully aware of this, their sensitivity to danger was already exaggerated enough.
That's way too sensitive.
The fact that they could react to such a level of stress clearly indicates that there's something big being hidden inside.
We need to find out what happened...
Ye Li nodded slightly, already having a preliminary plan for the upcoming itinerary.
