Above the sky, dozens of figures from the Blazing Erosion Clan stood in mid-air, their dark red aura covering the entire territory of the Shade-Guarding Clan like dark clouds. The originally warm and peaceful atmosphere of the ceremony was completely shattered. The expressions of the two old patriarchs of the Shade-Guarding Clan changed drastically. The old man holding the golden staff suddenly turned around, his voice becoming urgent for the first time.
"All clansmen!" "Retreat immediately into the protective range of the divine tree!" At the same time, another elder clansman raised his divine staff, his aged face full of solemnity. "Quickly!" "All children, go first!" "Don't linger!" "Quickly hide behind the divine tree!" The orders of the two clansmen spread.
The entire Shade-Guarding Clan was thrown into chaos. The elders hurriedly picked up the children, while young men and women protected their loved ones and ran towards the ancient tree. Some people fell, and others immediately returned to help them up. Some people cried in fright, and those around them immediately held them in their arms to comfort them, even in the face of death.
The first thought of these Shade-Guarding Clan members was still to take care of each other, while this scene caused the Blazing Erosion Clan members in the sky to reveal cruel smiles. "Escape?" "Hahahaha!" "Where can you possibly escape to!" "Today is the day the Shade-Guarding Clan is exterminated!" Boom--
A Wrath Clan Nu tribesman was the first to fall from the sky, his massive battle axe swung out with a fierce swing, instantly tearing the heavens and earth apart with a dark red axe beam thousands of feet long. Boom—the earth exploded, and dozens of the Shade-Guarding Clan who were running were directly swallowed up by the axe beam, blood splattering and screams echoing throughout the heavens and earth.
On the other side, several Hatred Clan cultivators simultaneously revealed sinister smiles. Instead of attacking directly, they unleashed countless black threads. The threads burrowed into the crowd like venomous snakes. Anyone touched by them immediately began to have their Fate Soul essence crumble. Some people had only taken a few steps before their bodies collapsed with a thud.
Their eyes were filled with confusion and fear, while the Hatred Clan cultivators stood in mid-air laughing loudly, seemingly enjoying the scene immensely. "Cry!" "Cry louder!" "Don't you Shade-Guarding Clan love to care for each other the most?" "Hahahaha! Keep running!"
Boom--Boom--Boom--More and more Blazing Erosion Clan cultivators rushed into the crowd, completely disregarding any resistance, their weapons swung down relentlessly. Blood stained the grass, and the altar, which was originally covered with flower petals, was now completely covered in blood. The whole scene was extremely cruel, and just then...
A cold voice suddenly rang out. "Seeking death." The moment the voice fell, Qian Wenwan took a step forward. The gentleness in her eyes had vanished, replaced by the coldness of Eternal Silence Realm · Supreme. Boom—the vast Fate Soul essence instantly swept across the heavens and earth.
A Wrath Clan cultivator was wielding a giant axe, chasing after a child, when he suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He turned around abruptly and saw Qian Wenwan standing behind him. Her beautiful eyes were icy cold, devoid of any emotion. "Die." She gently raised her jade-like hand and slowly opened her five fingers. The next moment, countless silver-white Dao patterns spread from the void.
Like a blooming ice crystal lotus, it completely enveloped the Nu Wrath Clan cultivator. Before he could even scream, his entire body began to disintegrate. First his physical body, then his Fate Soul, and finally even the traces of his existence began to vanish. Boom—a silver-white pillar of light shot into the sky.
The Nu Wrath Clan cultivator instantly transformed into countless specks of light, completely Annihilation, leaving not even a trace behind. All the surrounding Blazing Erosion Clan cultivators were simultaneously shocked and stopped what they were doing. The Shade-Guarding Clan members stared at Qian Wenwan in astonishment. No one had expected that this stranger who had just been kneeling in their ranks would become Qian Wen Wan.
Possessing such terrifying power, at the same time, two figures slowly stepped forward from the depths of the sky. They were the leaders of the Blazing Erosion Clan. The one on the left was burly, his body covered in scorch marks, his eyes burning with furious flames, and a blood-red giant axe hundreds of feet long hovering behind him.
Wrath Clan Hatred Clan general, Chi Yan, and the other, a tall, thin man with a sinister face and a chilling smile, their eyes like those of a venomous snake, both looked at Qian Wenwan Shi You. Their expressions gradually turned serious. Chi Yan slowly frowned. "What's going on?" "When did the Shade-Guarding Clan produce such a powerful figure?"
Shi You narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Qian Wenwan for a moment before suddenly noticing something. His pupils contracted sharply. "Something's wrong." "Her Fate Soul essence is off." "Completely different." Chi Yan was also taken aback, his divine sense quickly sweeping over her, and the next moment, a look of shock flashed in his eyes, "She's not from this world!"
The air fell silent instantly. All the Blazing Erosion Clan cultivators looked at Qian Wenwan at the same time, and Qian Wenwan slowly raised her head. She stood amidst the corpses and blood on the ground. Her robes fluttered gently, her gaze was cold, and she showed no sign of backing down. She quietly looked at the two Blazing Erosion Clan generals in the sky, their gazes clashing. Invisible flames began to burn in the air.
Standing high in the sky, Chi Yan's face was extremely gloomy. He had thought that this mere Shade-Guarding Clan festival was nothing more than a routine plunder. For hundreds of years, his Blazing Erosion Clan had been accustomed to doing this.
The Shade-Guarding Clan are always gentle and yielding. Even when their resources are taken away and their people are slaughtered, they will only cling to their so-called benevolence and tolerance to survive. But he never expected that an outsider would appear today, and an outsider with such terrifying strength at that.
Chi Yan stared intently at Qian Wenwan below, the burn marks on his neck turning slightly red, his chest heaving, and the anger in his eyes burning ever brighter. Finally, he raised the giant axe in his hand and let out a deafening roar.
"Kill her!" "Everyone, attack together!" Whoever cuts off her head will receive 100 portions of the Ancient Tree Source Liquid! Upon hearing this, the eyes of the Blazing Erosion Clan members, who had been somewhat hesitant, instantly turned bloodshot.
For the Wrath Clan, anger is power; for the Hatred Clan, profit is everything. In an instant, dozens of figures swooped down from the sky, like a group of bloodthirsty beasts pouncing on their prey.
Just then, the two chieftains of the Shade-Guarding Clan finally snapped out of their shock. Looking at the approaching Blazing Erosion Clan members in the sky, their faces turned deathly pale. They hurriedly waved their divine staffs. "Quick!" "Everyone retreat behind the divine tree!" "Children first!" "Don't linger!"
In an instant, the entire altar was thrown into complete chaos. Tens of thousands of the Shade-Guarding Clan fled in panic. Some carried young children, some helped the elderly who were slow to move, and some carried their wounded companions on their backs. Even in their escape, they never abandoned each other.
Countless figures converged into a long stream of people, rushing towards the enormous Shade-Guarding Ancient Tree. Meanwhile, in the sky, the Blazing Erosion Clan had already arrived. A burly man from the Wrath Clan was the first to strike. He gripped his giant axe with both hands, his muscles bulging, and with a roar, he crashed down from the sky like a meteorite.
With a deafening roar, a crimson axe light swept across the sky, instantly splitting the earth into a ravine thousands of feet long.
Immediately afterwards, more than ten Nu Wrath Clan cultivators simultaneously activated their inner source, and clusters of dark red flames rose up behind them. Within the flames, countless distorted faces vaguely appeared, carrying various negative emotions such as rage, resentment, and madness.
Flames rained down from the sky, while on the other side, the Hatred Clan cultivators revealed sinister smiles, their hands forming hand seals. Countless black threads emerged from their sleeves, moving through the air like living things, emanating a chilling aura. Someone summoned a bone bell. The moment the bell rang, countless blurry illusions suddenly appeared in the world.
Someone unleashed a black poison banner, and a vast expanse of black mist billowed out. Others released countless twisted runes, each carrying the power to erode the Fate Soul. In just a few breaths, dozens of supernatural abilities simultaneously covered the entire world. The sky was stained crimson with blood, the earth began to crack, and countless destructive auras converged frantically.
All the attacks were locked onto the same target: Qian Wenwan. However, facing all of this, Qian Wenwan slowly closed her eyes. She didn't look at those supernatural powers, nor at the Blazing Erosion Clan cultivators who were attacking her. She simply raised her palm gently, her long hair swaying gently with the air currents.
A faint trace of pity appeared on her exquisite face. She saw the Shade-Guarding Clan fleeing for their lives, and she also saw the Blazing Erosion Clan slaughtering them in a frenzy. She sighed softly. "Eternal Silence - Burial Song of Heaven." Her voice was very soft.
Yet it clearly reached everyone's ears. The next moment, the whole world suddenly fell silent. The wind stopped, the flames stopped, the bells stopped. Even the sound of fleeing footsteps disappeared. The feeling was extremely eerie, as if an invisible hand had pressed the entire world to a standstill. Then, centered on Qian Wenwan, an invisible ripple slowly spread out.
There was no light, no strange phenomena, no earth-shattering roar, but when that ripple swept across the sky, the blood-red axe light at the forefront, thousands of feet long, began to fade rapidly, turning from scarlet to gray-white, its sharpness vanishing into nothingness, and then gradually disintegrating. This was followed by a rain of fire, with countless burning fireballs suspended in mid-air.
Then it extinguished and dissipated, as if it had never existed. The black threads released by the Hatred Clan twisted and struggled continuously, but they still could not escape that power. They began to turn into countless black and white ink dots, and then disappeared into the world. What was most terrifying were those Blazing Erosion Clan cultivators.
They remained suspended in mid-air, still in their charging stance, their faces contorted with rage, madness, and murderous intent. Yet, their bodies began to fade, bit by bit. Feet disappeared, calves disappeared, torsos disappeared, heads disappeared. The entire process was breathtakingly quiet; there were no screams, no blood, no struggles.
They were as if being slowly wiped away by an invisible cloth, their very existence disappearing. One, two, three... Dozens of the Blazing Erosion Clan cultivators turned into countless black and white specks of light, then completely merged into the void. In just a few breaths, the dozens of the Blazing Erosion Clan cultivators who had just been filled with murderous intent vanished without a trace.
The sky returned to its tranquility, as if nothing had happened. The fleeing members of the Shade-Guarding Clan gradually stopped, staring blankly at the scene. Some had their mouths agape, some were filled with shock, and some even forgot to breathe. The two Shade-Guarding Clan chiefs' hands, gripping their divine staffs, trembled uncontrollably, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Deep in the sky, the expressions of Chi Yan and Shi You finally changed completely, especially Shi You, whose original cold smile had disappeared, replaced by a deep sense of apprehension. He stared intently at Qian Wenwan and said in a hoarse voice, "This person is definitely not an ordinary cultivator from the outside world... We absolutely cannot let him leave alive..." Chi Yan's hand, gripping the giant axe, bulged with veins as he stared at Qian Wenwan.
For the first time, a solemn expression appeared in her eyes. Below, Qian Wenwan slowly opened her eyes. She stood in the center of the ravaged altar, her long dress swaying gently, her expression calm. But her eyes had turned cold. She slowly raised her head, her gaze piercing through layers of space, landing directly on Chi Yan and Shi You. The air between them gradually froze as they stared at each other across the void.
