Clearing the Battlefield, the Xie Household in Peril!

The fire gradually died down.

The once majestic city towers were ravaged by heavenly fire, and dark red embers still flow among the broken walls and ruins.

Of the hundreds of cultivators from the Xie Household gathered on the city wall, more than 80% were reduced to ashes by the aftershocks of the True Solar Fire before they could even scream.

This is the True Solar Fire at the level of Immortals and Gods; even those in the External Scenery have no chance of resisting it.

Xie Tao was still standing on the city wall.

His brocade robe was burned down to just a few charred pieces clinging to his body, half of his face was burned, his skin was peeling, blood mixed with charred black, making him look like a vengeful ghost.

He trembled all over, not only from the excruciating pain, but also from the deep-seated shock, anger, and despair.

Because the Xie Household was wary of Yu Tunzhou, they recalled all the External Scenery. After hearing of Yu Tunzhou's appearance, almost all of these clan elders from the External Scenery appeared on the city wall.

But now----

"Impossible—this is impossible—"

He repeated it in a low voice, his pupils unfocused, his voice hoarse and inhuman.

The Xie Household's enduring legacy, the Northern Plains Grand Formation, the Northern Mountain Killing Formation----

Most of it is ruined now!

Outside the city.

The Yu Tunzhou also stood amidst the sea of fire.

Although he was protected by the Vajra Bracelet, he did not activate the Law Treasure to absorb the True Solar Fire. Therefore, he only avoided being directly burned by the True Solar Fire, but he did not completely avoid the extreme high temperature emitted by the explosion of the true fire and the burning of the world.

Even with his physique comparable to that of Immortal Physique, he was still quite injured at this moment.

He breathed heavily, hot air exhaled from his mouth and nose, carrying a burnt, bloody smell.

With the fire of the Xie Household, the city of the Xie Household will be burned down.

The plan was far more successful than he had anticipated.

He decided to retract his statement.

Golden Crow Formation Spirit is not a server!

The power of the True Solar Fire far exceeded his expectations!

Even with his physique, without the Vajra Bracelet protecting him, if he were to fall into the true fire, he would likely be burned to ashes, not just half-dead!

That's right, the powerful one isn't the Golden Crow Formation Spirit, but the True Solar Fire itself, which is one of the top-tier immortal flames!

Yu Tunzhou temporarily suppressed his injuries thanks to the self-healing ability of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art.

He licked his dry, peeling lips and immediately locked his gaze on the three old ghosts behind him.

These three were even worse off than the Xie Household in the city.

The Xie Household had at least a killing formation in front of them at first, but these three people directly endured the burning of the True Solar Fire.

Even with his physical body and the Vajra Bracelet, he was barely able to withstand it, let alone these old ghosts who had been resurrected!

Among them, Zhang Jiuyuan's physical body was burned to ashes in the True Solar Fire, but from the ashes, a grayish-white phantom rushed out in a panic, shaped like a twisted humanoid smoke, emitting a sharp and piercing shriek, and fled into the distance.

That was the remnant soul of Immortals and Gods hidden within the corpse.

There's no reason for Yu Tunzhou to let him go.

"Don't you gentlemen want my Dao body?"

He took a step forward and appeared directly behind the gray-white phantom, raising his hand to deliver a palm strike.

"Let me, Yu, escort you on your way!"

With a single palm strike, the wind from the palm still carried the residual heat of the True Solar Fire remaining in the world. The grayish-white phantom was directly captured in Yu Tunzhou's palm and then thrown into his Primordial Spirit world.

Huntian opened his mouth wide and swallowed it whole, making Youyin Rogue Person was serving nearby, tremble with fear.

These remnants of immortal Immortals and Gods are all highly nourishing to it.

Now, Huntian must also plan for future recovery.

Without pausing, Yu Tunzhou turned and pounced on the crimson giant beside him again. The latter's body had already been burned to a crisp, and even his remaining dark red remnant soul had been severely injured.

"One left."

Yu Tunzhou looked up and saw a pale gray mist shadow disappearing into the distance at an extremely fast speed.

The gray-robed woman had fled the fastest, directly disappearing into the Void. However, the True Solar Fire burned everything, incinerating the Void and forcing her out, but she also managed to escape the first and most intense wave of fire.

Sensing that Yu Tunzhou was chasing after her, the woman suddenly turned around.

After revealing her Primordial Spirit, she showed her true appearance, which turned out to be an absolutely beautiful female immortal!

But Yu Tunzhou didn't pause for a second after he made his move.

As the Yu Tunzhou drew near, the female immortal suddenly let out a shrill cry, and her Primordial Spirit body burst into flames.

Yu Tunzhou's figure suddenly froze in mid-air, the surrounding Void solidified, and he was imprisoned in place.

"Xie Shanyin! Make your move!"

The female immortal's voice was so shrill it could pierce eardrums. She used the self-ignition of her Primordial Spirit to cast Void imprisonment spell, forcibly freezing Yu Tunzhou in place.

Kill him!

On the city wall of North Mountain Commandery, Xie Tao suddenly looked up, his half-burnt face revealing an indescribable ferocious rage.

He mustered all his strength and let out a piercing scream, "Elder of the Shanyin Clan, make your move! Now!"

"Kill this brat!!!"

Just then...

A faint ripple suddenly appeared in the Void behind Yu Tunzhou.

A gaunt figure suddenly sprang up like a ghost.

Xie Shanyin stepped out of the void, his face sinister, and activated the [Soul-Binding Chain] with all his might!

The pitch-black chains trembled with a "hum" and emerged from the Void like venomous snakes, their speed even more ferocious than the battle between the Golden Crow Formation Spirit!

"Fellow Daoist, be careful! This is the Soul-Binding Chain of the Underworld!"

Huntian cry suddenly rang out.

It couldn't help but panic, for its seventh brother, who possessed the innate divine essence, had once had his soul imprisoned by this thing and captured in the Underworld.

Although nothing bad happened afterward, it caused quite a stir in the Underworld, which shows just how extraordinary this thing is!

Yu Tunzhou roared, his Qi and Blood surging, his Dao Palace opening within him, and he burst forth, forcefully breaking free from the female immortal's Void confinement.

He managed to twist and dodge in time, but still didn't completely avoid the attack and was hit in the shoulder. However, the chain passed right through him, as if it had no substance.

Before Yu Tunzhou could react, countless chilling soul threads emanated from the chain, formless and intangible, heading straight for Yu Tunzhou's brow and Niwan Palace!

This is the power of this divine weapon: it does not attack the physical body, but specifically restrains the Primordial Spirit!

A chilling aura surged into his Niwan Palace, directly locking onto his Primordial Spirit and attempting to forcibly extract it from his physical body!

Yu Tunzhou's body suddenly swayed.

"Hahahaha!" Atop the city wall, Xie Tao roared with laughter, his voice a mixture of scathing mirth and glee. "Yu Tunzhou! So what if your physical body has become a saint! The Soul-Binding Chain designed to bind the primordial Primordial Spirit. Today, I will make you pay with your life for the Xie Lineage!!!"

Xie Shanyin hung in mid-air, his hands forming a hand seal, and the Soul-Binding Chain immediately emitted a sharp whistling sound, like a dead soul demanding its life.

A jet-black chain encircled the Void around Yu Tunzhou, while countless dense strands of soul energy coiled into Yu Tunzhou's Niwan Palace!

The chains tightened further and further.

Suddenly, the Soul-Binding Chain forcibly restrained a Primordial Spirit, pulling it out of the Niwan Palace of the Yu Tunzhou.

Xie Shanyin hung in mid-air, a hint of ferocious pleasure appearing on his withered face.

Witnessing this scene, the female immortal's Primordial Spirit couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, stopping Primordial Spirit burning. However, this caused her to fall into a state of lethargy, and she no longer tried to escape.

"It's done!"

On the city wall, Xie Tao laughed maniacally.

"Ancestor Shanyin! Don't kill him!"

He staggered to his feet, leaning on the charred city bricks, half his face burned and bloodied, his eyes filled with venomous hatred. "Capture his Primordial Spirit, imprison his soul! I will make this boy suffer the torment of true fire day and night, unable to live, unable to die!"

"I will let the whole world know what the consequences will be for those who oppose the Xie Household!"

Xie Shanyin nodded slowly, about to activate the Soul-Binding Chain to bring Yu Tunzhou's Primordial Spirit back.

At that very moment.

Yu Tunzhou suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze cold and indifferent. With a single palm strike, he extinguished the female immortal's ability to resist, imprisoning her in the Niwan Palace. In an instant, he pounced on Xie Shanyin!

Xie Shanyin was shocked and quickly focused his mind to sense the surroundings.

The Soul-Binding Chain had clearly captured Yu Tunzhou's Primordial Spirit, so why was he still able to move freely and unaffected?!

"This is----"

Suddenly, Xie Shanyin realized that Soul-Binding Chain was not Yu Tunzhou, but an ancient Primordial Spirit whose aura was subtly similar to Yu Tunzhou's, as if it had been tainted by him.

But it's definitely not a case of Yu Tunzhou!

The Primordial Spirit was old and withered, its aura waning. It was struggling frantically, uttering pitiful cries for mercy. "True Person Immortal! Merciful True Person! I—I can't hold on any longer!"

When the Soul-Binding Chain went straight for the Niwan Palace, the River Diagram, which should have been protecting the Primordial Spirit Heaven and Earth, was too weak to act because it had suffered too much damage in the Heavenly Court.

At this critical moment, Huntian made a decisive move, throwing the trembling Rogue Immortal Youyin who was hiding to the side out, and directly replacing Yu Tunzhou with him, who was then locked onto by the Soul-Binding Chain.

The Rogue Immortal Youyin was originally Ghost Immortal, and having spent some time in this world, he had absorbed the aura of Yu Tunzhou, which allowed him to deceive the Soul-Binding Chain's perception.

At this moment, Yu Tunzhou completely withdrew, his gaze cold.

Dealing with a powerful and influential Aristocratic Clan like the Xie Household requires utmost caution; a slight misstep could lead to disaster!

If it weren't for the Youyin Rogue Person, perhaps Huntian would have had to be sacrificed temporarily.

He leaped up like an ancient ferocious beast, instantly reaching Xie Shanyin.

Xie Shanyin was horrified and desperately tried to activate the Soul-Binding Chain, attempting to repeat his previous trick.

Yu Tunzhou snorted coldly. He was already caught off guard, and now this?!

The Vajra Bracelet suddenly flew out.

The silver ring hummed and shone brightly.

Although this item lacks lethality, it is theoretically capable of suppressing the vast majority of immortal weapons in the world!

The Soul-Binding Chain had just been raised and hadn't even locked onto its target when, as if encountering its nemesis, a tidal wave of silver light descended, freezing the Soul-Binding Chain in mid-air.

"Receive!"

The word was uttered.

This divine weapon from the Underworld, which the Xie Household had worshipped for many years and on which they placed high hopes, was forcibly absorbed into the ring by the Vajra Bracelet without any resistance.

Witnessing this, Huntian breathed a sigh of relief.

If it comes again, it will have no choice but to sacrifice itself.

This item is not of high grade, only at the level of Immortals and Gods, but it is an exclusive divine weapon of the Underworld, and its restraint on souls and Primordial Spirit is almost insurmountable.

I never expected Lu Ya to actually get his hands on this thing!

It seems this old codger is also plotting in the Underworld.

Suddenly, Youyin Rogue Person was casually tossed back into his Primordial Spirit Heaven and Earth by Yu Tunzhou.

In a panic, he plunged headlong into the deepest part of this world, never daring to show his face again.

"A hopeless piece of trash." Huntian glanced at him sideways and sneered, "If you can't even shield your fellow Daoist from two calamities, you don't deserve to stay here!"

Meanwhile, the outside world...

Xie Shanyin stood frozen in mid-air, his hands still in the posture of activating the celestial soldiers.

"No—impossible—my Xie Household's celestial soldiers—"

Yu Tunzhou had already reached him.

Before the fist even arrived, the wind from it had already compressed the Void, causing it to cave in layer by layer, and slammed towards Xie Shanyin's face.

The latter was ultimately Grandmaster of Peak External Scenery; even amidst earth-shattering changes, he still managed to wake up in time at the last moment.

He retreated rapidly, his hands forming hand seals with lightning speed, his hair and beard standing on end, and a muffled Thunderclap sound suddenly echoed through the heavens and earth.

"Lei Lai!"

A sharp shout.

High above, dark clouds churned, and a bolt of purplish-blue lightning, as thick as a bucket, tore through the night sky, carrying terrifying divine power, and crashed down upon the Yu Tunzhou.

He practices Daoist School Daoist Thunder Method, the orthodox tradition of the Thunder Ministry!

Lightning illuminated Yu Tunzhou's face.

But Yu Tunzhou simply touched the ground with his toes, neither retreating nor dodging.

"A thunderous roar erupted, and electric snakes darted about."

Xie Shanyin's heart was still filled with shock when his expression suddenly changed.

The figure actually emerged directly from the lightning without sustaining any damage!

"Old man, are you trying to play with firecrackers in front of me?"

Yu Tunzhou, stepping on the lingering lightning, smashed Xie Shanyin to the ground with a single punch.

The latter shot towards North Mountain Commandery like a cannonball, crashing through the city walls along the way and stirring up layers of dust.

Yu Tunzhou followed closely behind, his five fingers gripping Xie Shanyin's throat like iron pincers.

The latter was filled with shock and anger, and finally understood how Xie Liyuan had died in the Western Desert.

This boy's physique is actually stronger than Xie Shanhe's Body of Immortals and Gods!

He pointed to the sky and shouted sharply, "Wind! Rain! Thunder!"

Wind and rain arrived, the wind eroding the Primordial Spirit and the rain corroding the physical body, and a bolt of lightning, completely different from the previous ones, meandered and slender, striking towards the Yu Tunzhou.

Although the lightning was thin, it contained terrifying power, causing even Yu Tunzhou to turn his head in surprise.

His body suddenly veered off course at the last second.

The seemingly slender, bluish-purple lightning bolt grazed his shoulder, then burrowed into the ground, instantly creating a bottomless trench in the scorched earth.

Xie Shanyin's beard and hair bristled, his body was surrounded by wind and rain, and lightning danced like a dragon.

He seemed to have become one with the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning of this world, and a dignified and solemn appearance appeared on his withered face.

"Yu Tunzhou! I have cultivated Thunder Method for two hundred and thirty years and have never seen anyone dare to confront it head-on with their bare body!"

Xie Shanyin raised his hand, and the wind and rain followed. The lightning in the sky gathered in his palm like a hundred birds returning to their nests, condensing into a spear forged from pure lightning.

"Today, I will show you the orthodox killing techniques of the Thunder Ministry!"

He took a step forward, his body moving like a lightning bolt, almost as fast as the heavenly thunder, his lightning spear piercing straight for Yu Tunzhou's heart.

Yu Tunzhou squinted and suddenly moved.

He raised his hand and grabbed directly at the lightning spear!

Xie Shanyin's pupils suddenly contracted, and then his eyes revealed a fierce look.

"I'll grant your wish!"

With a twist of his wrist, thousands of electric snakes suddenly exploded from the lightning spear, surging towards Yu Tunzhou Yu Tunzhou and tearing at its flesh like living creatures.

A crackling sound rang out instantly, and the smell of burning filled the air.

But Yu Tunzhou still reached out and grabbed the lightning spear, his face appearing both godlike and demonic in the lightning's glow.

He exerted his strength suddenly, and the spear, forged from pure lightning, shattered inch by inch in his palm.

The exploding lightning did not dissipate; instead, it was forcibly gathered and compressed by an invisible force, all of it swirling back towards Xie Shanyin.

"You one

Xie Shanyin's pupils contracted sharply. He tried to let go and pull back, but it was too late.

"Boom Xie Shanyin's entire right arm was blasted into a bloody mist by the lightning."

He screamed and flew backward, the wind and rain around him dissipating at the same time, leaving no trace of his dignified appearance.

Yu Tunzhou gave him no chance to fall, strode after him, and rained down punches, shattering Xie Shanyin's resistance, with the last punch landing on his chest.

Boom!

Xie Shanyin's back suddenly bulged in mid-air, his clothes ripped apart, and a series of cracking sounds came from his body, indicating that his Inner Heaven and Earth had been completely destroyed.

He struggled to lift his head, his lips moving, his expression a mixture of shock, anger, and resentment, but all he saw was that ruthless and decisive face.

"Fish, I'm sending you on your way!"

Bang! The lightning dissipated.

The wind and rain have stopped.

Xie Shanyin's body crashed down like a lump of mud, stirring up a cloud of dust.

The last Grandmaster of the Xie Household never stood up again.

That concludes the discussion.

All three Grandmaster of the Xie Household Yu Tunzhou.

He looked back and saw that the Xie Household members who were still barely clinging to life on the city wall had long since scattered and fled, like birds and beasts that had been frightened out of their wits.

Xie Tao, who had been laughing wildly just moments before, had also vanished.

He stood on the devastated battlefield, and all he could see was the mournful sound of the wind.

"It's not over yet."

Yu Tunzhou suddenly turned his head and looked towards the North Mountain Commandery, at the Xie Household's main residence.

His vigilance reached its peak at this moment.

The appearance of the Soul-Binding Chain just now is still vivid in my mind.

But he never forgot that the Xie Household also had a Immortals and Gods!

The methods originally intended to defend against and severely injure this Immortals and Gods have now only killed three old ghosts, broken the Xie Household's killing formation, and burned dozens of Xie Household External Scenery to death.

But to this day, this person has still not appeared!

Considering that this person's strength was likely above that of the Golden Crow Formation Spirit in its complete form, he hadn't dared to use the One Qi Transforms into the Three Pure Ones earlier.

Without much hesitation, Yu Tunzhou leaped forward and charged towards the Xie Household's main residence.

Since he hasn't made a move, either he's not here, or he's temporarily unable to do so due to some reason. Either way, he should finish this quickly!

Yu Tunzhou focused his mind on the Vajra Bracelet, attempting to suppress the Soul-Binding Chain.

According to Huntian, this item is a divine weapon of the Underworld, capable of subduing all Ghost Immortal, and also possessing considerable power over all immortals Immortals and Gods who lack Primordial Spirit.

If this thing can be subdued, it might be able to threaten the hidden immortal in the Xie Household at a crucial moment.

He arrived above the Xie Household. Previously, a killing formation had blocked the way, and the True Solar Fire had not caused any damage to the city. The Xie Household's main residence had already been protected by a clan-protecting formation.

This further confirmed Yu Tunzhou's suspicion that the Immortals and Gods from the Xie Household was most likely not in North Mountain Commandery at the moment!

The thought flashed through my mind, Yu Tunzhou dared not delay.

Just because Immortals and Gods is not here now, doesn't mean they won't be here later.

He wielded the Vajra Bracelet and forcefully broke through the formation with the purest and most primal power.

The Vajra Bracelet fell like a meteor from outer space.

The silver ring ripped through the sky and slammed heavily onto the protective array above the Xie Household's main residence.

"Buzz!"

The pale golden light curtain that enveloped the entire main house trembled violently, emitting a mournful, shattering sound.

A crack, centered on the point where the Vajra Bracelet, spread wildly like a spider web, slowly covering the entire formation.

Yu Tunzhou's right fist followed closely behind.

Like an ancient divine mountain collapsing, it crashed down heavily onto the already crumbling formation.

"Boom!"

The protective formation shattered instantly, revealing the eaves and brackets below.

Yu Tunzhou's gaze swept downwards with lightning speed.

From this day forward, he will bring about a change of dynasty in the Northern Plains!
