Targeting the Dharma Manifestation Realm, Traveling with the Falling Rosy Clouds Sect, and Executing the Three Elders

Inside the desolate mountain cave, Dongfang Yueming slowly stood up and removed the shielding array.

"My cultivation has reached the pinnacle of the Golden Core Realm. Next, I should go and acquire some cultivation techniques for the [Dharma Manifestation Realm]."

Dongfang Yueming stepped out of the stone cave, pondering to himself.

"Since the Blood Sword Sect is a sixth-grade sect, it must have methods for the Dharma Manifestation Realm. However, their unseen Golden Body Realm ancestor, although said to be in seclusion, is still a potential threat. With my current strength, it's a bit premature to confront a sixth-grade sect head-on."

He turned to look at the mountains to the south.

"Let's go to that eighth-grade sect, ' Falling Rosy Clouds Sect, ' first. An eighth-grade sect has Dharma Manifestation Realm expert in charge, making it perfect as a stepping stone. We can also scavenge some advanced dual cultivation Spell while we're at it."

Having made up his mind, Dongfang Yueming, along with Hong Gui and Baihu, took to the air, transforming into three streaks of light, and flew towards the direction of the Falling Rosy Clouds Sect.

at the same time.

High in the sky, hundreds of miles Southern Abyss City.

A luxuriously decorated airship is hovering among the clouds.

On the flying boat, the sect leader of the Falling Rosy Clouds Sect was sweating profusely as he listened to the latest report from his scouts.

"What... what did you say?!"

The Sect Master of the Falling Rosy Clouds Sect stared wide-eyed at the scout kneeling before him in disbelief. "That Lord Zhao from the Shangyin Academy, in the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion of Southern Abyss City, instantly killed the young master of the Blood Sword Sect and more than a dozen Golden Core guards with a single move?!"

"It's absolutely true, Sect Master!" The scout also looked shaken. "This news has spread like wildfire throughout Southern Abyss City!"

The sect leader of the Falling Rosy Clouds Sect felt a wave of dizziness and slumped into a chair.

"This... how is this possible?!"

His heart was filled with extreme doubt and fear.

When Zhao Wuji was a guest at their Falling Rosy Clouds Sect, although he was arrogant, the aura he exuded was clearly that of an ordinary Early Golden Core Realm!

How could someone with that kind of strength possibly kill more than a dozen guards of the same or even mid-stage level in an instant?!

"Could it be... that he's been hiding his cultivation all along? Is he actually a top inner disciple of the Shangyin Academy, or even a core disciple, deliberately disguising himself as an outer disciple to travel incognito in the Southern Wasteland?!"

"Or is that person not Zhao Wuji at all?!"

The more the Sect Master of the Falling Rosy Clouds Sect thought about it, the more terrified he became.

"Sect Master, should we still go to Southern Abyss City to apologize?" an elder asked cautiously.

"Go to hell!"

The sect leader of the Falling Rosy Clouds Sect jumped up abruptly, "The Blood Sword Sect has definitely gone mad! If we go in now, it'll be like the city gates catching fire and the fish in the moat suffering! Our Falling Rosy Clouds Sect can't afford to offend the forces behind that mad young master!"

"Quickly! Turn around immediately! Return to the sect! Activate the sect's protective formation. No one is allowed to leave the mountain during this time!"

The Falling Rosy Clouds Sect acted decisively, ordering the flying boat to return immediately. He now only wanted to get as far away from this vortex of trouble as possible and never wanted to get involved in such a Heavenly Immortal again.

However.

Things didn't go as planned.

Just as the Falling Rosy Clouds Sect's flying boat turned around, preparing to escape at full speed...

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Three blinding streaks of light shot through the clouds ahead at breakneck speed, colliding head-on with the flying boat!

"Who dares to block my Falling Rosy Clouds Sect's flying boat?!"

The elder of the Falling Rosy Clouds Sect roared angrily, preparing to unleash his Golden Core aura to drive them away.

But when the light faded, and the face of the newcomer and his signature moon-white robe became clear, it was revealed...

"Lord Zhao... Lord Zhao?!"

Everyone on the flying boat, including the sect leader of the Falling Rosy Clouds Sect, instantly fell silent, as if a rooster had been choked. Cold sweat poured down their bodies.

Dongfang Yueming stood with his hands behind his back, hovering in front of the flying boat. Hong Gui and Baihu followed behind him, one on each side.

"What a coincidence! Where are you all headed?" Dongfang Yueming's lips curled into a half-smile.

"Ah... haha... Lord Zhao!"

The sect leader of the Falling Rosy Clouds Sect reacted extremely quickly, his face instantly plastered with a fawning smile that was more like a grimace, and he scrambled forward to greet him.

"This humble servant... this humble servant was just on his way to Southern Abyss City to pay his respects to you, sir! I never expected to run into you here. What a coincidence, what a coincidence!"

As he spoke, he discreetly observed Dongfang Yueming. Although his appearance and clothes remained unchanged, for some reason, he felt that the aura emanating from this "Lord Zhao" had become unfathomable, as if he were facing a vast universe, making him want to bow down in worship.

"Since we've run into each other, let's go together. I was just about to visit your Falling Rosy Clouds Sect anyway." Dongfang Yueming stepped onto the flying boat without any hesitation.

"This... this..."

The sect leader of the Falling Rosy Clouds Sect inwardly groaned. Why did this plague god have to come to his Falling Rosy Clouds Sect? If he were to lead the Blood Sword Sect there, wouldn't Falling Rosy Clouds Sect be razed to the ground?

But how could he dare utter a single word of dissent when faced with this academy disciple who seemed to be a "hidden master"?

"Yes, yes, yes, it is a great honor for our Falling Rosy Clouds Sect! Please take a seat, my lord!"

The Falling Rosy Clouds Sect gritted his teeth and had no choice but to invite this plague god into the most luxurious cabin of the flying ship. He frantically calculated in his mind what excuse he would use to get rid of this guy as soon as possible once they arrived at the sect.

The airship glided smoothly through the clouds.

Dongfang Yueming sat in the main seat, with Hong Gui and Baihu naturally sitting on either side of him.

Just as the Sect Master of the Falling Rosy Clouds Sect was nervously preparing to pour tea...

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Three extremely terrifying and immense pressures, far exceeding those of the Golden Core Realm, erupted without warning from the horizon behind the flying boat, pressing down on the flying boat's defensive formation like three mountains!

"Snap!"

The airship's defensive shield instantly became covered in cracks, and the entire ship began to shake violently!

"Blood Sword Sect is handling business! All irrelevant people, get out of my way!"

It was accompanied by a furious roar that shattered the heavens.

Three elderly men, dressed in blood-red robes and exuding a terrifying aura, transformed into three blood-red streaks and instantly caught up with the flying boat, surrounding it completely!

[Dharma Manifestation Realm]!

Moreover, they were three powerful figures at the Middle Dharma Manifestation Realm!

"The Three Elders of Blood Fiend?!"

Upon seeing these three menacing figures, the Sect Master of the Falling Rosy Clouds Sect was terrified, his legs giving way and he collapsed to the ground. It's over! The Blood Sword Sect's pursuers arrived so quickly! And they sent these three ruthless old monsters right off the bat!

With these three elders joining forces, even Late Dharma Manifestation Realm cultivator would be doomed!

"You're that piece of trash from the Shangyin Academy?!"

One of the Blood Fiend Elders stared intently at Dongfang Yueming, his eyes filled with resentment and killing intent. "You killed my Blood Sword Sect's young master! Even if you're the Elder Wang, you'll still lose your life here today!"

Faced with the terrifying encirclement of three Dharma Manifestation Realm experts, the elders and disciples of the Falling Rosy Clouds Sect on the flying boat were already trembling with fear, their faces ashen.

However.

Dongfang Yueming remained seated calmly in his chair, even picking up his teacup and taking a small sip.

You're disturbing my tea.

Dongfang Yueming put down his teacup and slowly stood up.

"The Dharma Manifestation Realm, huh? Perfect, I'll use you guys to test my newly fused Spell."

Dongfang Yueming smiled faintly, his right index finger pointing into the Xukong.

[Heaven Grade attack Spell - Taixu Annihilation Light]!

"Buzz--!"

There was no earth-shattering roar, nor any complicated hand seals.

A beam of extremely concentrated Purple-Gold Divine Light, only as thick as a chopstick, shot out silently from Dongfang Yueming's fingertip!

"Arrogant! You Early Golden Core cultivator dare to attack me?! You're courting death!"

Seeing this, the Blood Fiend Elder sneered disdainfully. He didn't even bother to dodge, and directly activated the power of his Dharma Manifestation within his body, condensing a blood-red shield several feet thick in front of him!

In his view, such a weak attack could not even break through his shield's defense.

However.

"Sizzle!"

The Purple-Gold Divine Light, upon contact with the blood-red shield, pierced through it as easily as cutting tofu, without encountering the slightest resistance!

The divine light, undiminished in its force, disregarded the distance in space and precisely pierced the Blood Fiend Elder's brow!

"Well..."

The cold smile on the Blood Fiend Elder's face instantly froze, his eyes bulged, and his face was filled with disbelief.

"Bang!"

His body, along with the illusory image of Dharma Manifestation that was condensing within him, instantly turned into dust and scattered in the wind under the collapse of this law containing the profound meaning of [the Return of All Things]!

One strike, instantly killing Middle Dharma Manifestation Realm!

"The Old Three?!"

The other two Blood Fiend Elders were terrified at the sight, their hair standing on end!

They didn't even see how the Old Three died!

"Run! Run! It's a monster!!!"

The two elders had no desire for revenge whatsoever; they turned and tried to transform into streaks of blood and flee in a frenzy!

"Since you're here, why don't you all stay?"

Dongfang Yueming snorted coldly, and flicked out two more beams of Purple-Gold Divine Light from his fingertips!

"Swoosh! Swoosh!"

There was no suspense whatsoever.

Two beams of divine light, like the scythe of death, pierced the backs of the two fleeing elders with unparalleled precision!

"Boom! Boom!"

Two more clouds of blood mist exploded in mid-air, and the two powerful figures in the Middle Dharma Manifestation Realm were easily killed, like chickens being slaughtered.

On the airship, there was a deathly silence.

The sect leader of the Falling Rosy Clouds Sect and the elders and disciples stared wide-eyed at the three wisps of blood mist that had not yet dissipated in mid-air, their minds blank.

Three powerful cultivators at the Middle Dharma Manifestation Realm... just like that... gone?!

He was crushed to death like an ant by a mere outer disciple at the Golden Core Realm?!

This completely overturned their understanding of the power system in the cultivation world!

Dongfang Yueming ignored the group of terrified natives. With a casual wave of his hand, he took three storage rings into his hand.

A flicker of joy flashed in Dongfang Yueming's eyes as he scanned the Divine Sense.

"One Profound Grade Dharma Manifestation Technique, and two Yellow Grade Dharma Manifestation Techniques."

"Not bad, the Blood Sword Sect's delivery was very timely."
