Victory and defeat were decided within a hair's breadth; conspiracies were cut down before they could take shape.
After sensing the Calamity Beasts' unusual movements, Shen Yun struck like thunder. Alone, he charged straight into the heart of the enemy and descended forcefully upon the core of the demon nest on Heavenly Pillar Mountain.
The so-called army of demons and monsters was nothing but worthless trash before his combat strength, which rivaled a Peering into Truth Tycoon. They were swept away in an instant.
Even the ferocious Xuming Candle Dragon was powerfully suppressed within a few moves and reduced to a mount beneath his feet.
Worth mentioning was that two supreme Calamity Beasts had tried to block his path. Their cultivation was nearly on par with Xuming Candle Dragon's, yet without exception, they were all decisively slain by Shen Yun and transformed into surging merit that gathered upon him.
As for why he had left Candle Dragon alive, the reason was simple—
For a long time, because of Azure Dragon, that guide who had been both teacher and friend, Shen Yun had always held the Dragon Clan in special regard.
After suppressing Xuming Candle Dragon, he had specifically employed the Great Dao of Creation to cleanse away its Death Qi and purify its Spiritual Platform.
Now, this former dragon emperor of the Primordial Era had recovered most of his consciousness. His condition was even better than Juekong's.
Having uprooted the source of the disaster, Shen Yun immediately rushed to Yellow Springs Bone Marsh. He then seized the initiative and shattered the deadlock with a single strike, erasing this monstrous Killing Tribulation before it could take form.
This showed that Shen Qiu's earlier talk of "appearing at the crucial moment" and "displaying divinity before others" had been complete nonsense.
