"Aaaaaah!"

He Yucheng let out a shrill scream, especially at the moment his Golden Core shattered, his spiritual power leaked out of his body like a tidal wave.

His face drained of color, and he roared in despair:

"It's over, completely over..."

Shangguan Zhong quickly approached Qin Wu's side. Seeing that He Yucheng had been completely suppressed, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. His face was full of admiration as he respectfully bowed and said:

"Your Majesty's divine might is unparalleled; you single-handedly suppressed the demon."

Qin Wu's face lit up with joy, and he waved his hand, "I was just lucky. Fortunately, He Yucheng was careless, otherwise it wouldn't have been so easy."

By this time, He Yucheng had recovered from the excruciating pain, his eyes filled with resentment as he stared intently at Qin Wu:

"Qin Wu, you damned ant! How dare you collude with righteous sects to harm me and even cripple my cultivation."

"You're just waiting to die. Once the Demonic Flame Sect finds out I'm in trouble, they'll wipe out your entire Qin Household."

Upon hearing this, Qin Wu did not explain, letting him misunderstand, but merely sneered disdainfully:

"You want to kill me and destroy my Qin Household? Not so easy. Besides, your Demonic Flame Sect is extremely vicious and will inevitably decline in the future."

"The power of the Demonic Flame Sect is beyond the comprehension of a mere ant like you."

"If you dare kill me, even if you go to heaven or hell, you will not escape death. Just wait to be hunted down!" He Yucheng roared through gritted teeth.

"My life and death are not for you to decide, but your life and death are now in my hands."

Qin Wu kicked him hard in the groin, breaking his "third leg".

"Aaaaaah!"

He Yucheng was in so much pain that his vision went black, and he let out a heart-wrenching scream before fainting.

Shangguan Zhong stood to the side, instinctively squeezing his legs together. Meeting Qin Wu's gaze, he quickly and respectfully inquired:

"Your Majesty, what should we do with this fiend next?"

Qin Wu said in a deep voice, "Take him away and torture him severely. You must find out all the information about the Demonic Flame Sect. If all else fails, use the Soul Search Technique, but you must not kill him."

Once he dies, the soul lamp in the Demonic Flame Sect will be extinguished, which will surely alert the enemy.

If his injuries are too severe, use healing pills to prolong his life; no matter what, ensure he lives.

Shangguan Zhong and bowed, replying, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will certainly take care of it."

After speaking, he gestured to the Secret Guard had set up the formation, signaling them to remove the Four Symbols Immortal-Locking Formation. He then ordered his men to carry the unconscious He Yucheng to the secret prison.

Qin Wu's gaze swept over the devastated palace, and he instructed Shangguan Zhong beside him:

"Arrange for reinforcements here, repair any damage as soon as possible, and remember, the news of He Yucheng's suppression must not be leaked in the slightest."

After saying that, he looked up at the sky, a burning glint in his eyes.

The long-cherished wish that previous emperors had failed to realize throughout their lives finally has a chance of being fulfilled in his hands.

Now that the National Guardian Master sent by the Demonic Flame Sect has become a prisoner, it means that the Qin State will usher in a period of stable development for more than ten years.

Once the new Guardian Immortal Master takes office, he can still suppress him using the same methods, allowing the Qin State to continue accumulating strength.

Even if the Demonic Flame Sect discovers something amiss, he can escape using the Spatial Teleportation function of the Fairness System.

At the same time, they arranged for the people of Qin State to flee in the same way as the people of Yue State, leaving the Demonic Flame Sect with nothing.

They will hide away when the time is right, and then lead their men back to destroy the Demonic Flame Sect.

In addition, he also planned to try to incite conflict between the Demonic Flame Sect and the righteous sects.

If a major war could be triggered between the two sides, then one could reap the benefits without lifting a finger.

Xuanyi World.

Liu Yi stared in disbelief at the scene before him, a landscape littered with corpses and where not a single living being remained.

In a short period of time, the once vibrant world was transformed into a hellish inferno. This sudden and unprecedented war came without any reason.

The Xuanyi World is currently in a period of expansion, with Innate Spiritual Qi as dense as mist and numerous rare and heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

There is Spirit Root to wage a life-or-death racial war for resources and territory;

Moreover, the calamity energy in the world is thin, far from reaching the critical value for the outbreak of Tribulation, so it is absolutely not appropriate for Heaven and Earth Tribulation to break out at this time.

He gazed at the severed arm in the center of the battlefield, his brow furrowing slightly. His Divine Sense probed into the Long River of Time, tracing back to the root of the chaos.

A hundred years ago, a severed arm fell from the endless void into the Xuanyi World, its palm tightly clutching a bronze token.

The moment the severed arm appeared, it was noticed by the powerful figures of various races.

The powerful aura and terrifying pressure emanating from the severed arm, especially the bronze token tightly gripped in its palm, instantly convinced the experts that it must be a priceless treasure.

After all, something that can be held so tightly by such a terrifying severed arm is no ordinary creature.

What excites them even more is that if they can decipher the mystery of the severed arm, it might help them break through their current level and enter a higher realm.

A fierce battle ensued.

It started as a clash between experts at the Longevity Realm, but as the conflict escalated, the flames of war spread.

This drew in all the various factions, ultimately escalating into a brutal war between countless races.

Now, all sides are bloodthirsty, the earth is stained with blood, and countless lives have been lost. This great war that has swept the entire world is still ongoing.

After Liu Yi finished retracing his steps and understood the cause and effect, his brows furrowed instantly, and he muttered to himself:

Something's not right, something's really not right!

This Tribulation came without warning; there must be something wrong with that severed arm.

"If it weren't for the influence of a Longevity Realm expert, it would be impossible to act so irrationally and drag the entire race into the quagmire of war."

After clearing his mind, his gaze swept over the various Longevity Realm experts from different races fighting around the severed arm, finally settling on that severed arm.

Utilizing the power of Heavenly Dao to observe, one could see that the severed arm was shrouded in an aura of slaughter.

The aura continued to spread outwards, clinging to the surrounding creatures like a leech, causing everyone's killing intent to surge and their reason to vanish.

Even more bizarrely, the severed arm was throbbing slightly, as if it still had life, absorbing strands of blood from the fallen creatures.

"Hiss!"

Upon seeing this, Liu Yi gasped, his heart filled with trepidation.

"What a terrifying severed arm! This aura far surpasses that of the Longevity Realm; even a mere wisp of it is enough to affect a group of powerful individuals."

It has been separated from its original body for so long, yet it can still maintain its vitality. I really don't know what level of existence its original body must be.

With my current strength, even if I mobilized the power of the entire Xuanyi World, I probably still wouldn't be able to contend with him.

The most urgent task is to move this severed arm away; we must not allow it to continue harming the beings of the Xuanyi World.

Liu Yi immediately mobilized the power of the Heavenly Dao, and in the instant that the Longevity Realm experts clashed and created a spatial rift, he quietly guided the rift to expand, silently engulfing the severed arm into it.

The Longevity Realm experts in the midst of the chaotic battle cried out in surprise when they saw the severed arm suddenly disappear.

"Oh no! The severed arm and the token have been swallowed by the spatial rift! Stop! Quickly retrieve them!"

"It's too late. It's already fallen into the spatial turbulence and can't be retrieved."

As the spatial rift slowly closed, the murderous aura surrounding the powerful figures gradually dissipated, and their rationality returned.

They gazed at the devastation before them, where corpses littered the fields and the rivers stained with blood, their faces filled with heartache at the immense loss suffered by their own race.

Since the severed arm and the token had disappeared, continuing the fight was pointless, and everyone stepped in to stop the battle.

Seeing that the beings of the Xuanyi World had regained consciousness after losing their severed arms, Liu Yi stopped paying attention to them.

He turned and focused his gaze on the still pulsating severed arm amidst the spatial turbulence.
