At the peak of Tianjian Mountain, Tianjianzi sat high above, overlooking the many guests with an indifferent expression. As the protagonist of the banquet, Tianjianzi was undoubtedly the most eye-catching figure.
"Those three youngsters should be arriving soon, right?"
Tianjianzi's face showed a hint of coldness. As the leader of the top power in the world, Tianjianzi was well aware that the most prominent figures of the younger generation from the five domains were itching to step on him and ascend to the divine throne.
It wasn't that Tianjianzi had a grudge against these three individuals. Over the decades, Tianjian Sect had never suppressed the younger generation. In fact, it couldn't.
It's just that Tianjianzi had been towering over the strong of the five domains for too long, and these three young leaders wanted to break Tianjianzi's myth and carve out their own paths under his pressure.
"Foolish."
"Today, I will let you know what the Tenth Rank is," Tianjianzi thought to himself. If given enough time, Tianjianzi didn't deny that these three had the potential to reach the Tenth Rank. But now? Just the Ninth Rank, what could they use to challenge Tianjianzi?
"This time, I must not hold back. By dealing with these three, the younger generation of the five domains will be severely weakened, and they won't threaten Tianjian Sect for the next hundred or even hundreds of years. This way, I can also go to that place at ease"
Tianjianzi's thoughts fluctuated, and his gaze faintly turned towards a direction. That was the north. North of the northern domain, north of the endless sea.
After stepping into the Tenth Rank, Tianjianzi felt a kind of calling from the heavens and the earth, prompting him to head north.
This calling was something that the two predecessors of Tianjian Sect who reached the Tenth Rank had also experienced. After heading north to the endless sea, those two Tenth Rank predecessors never returned.
So, after stepping into the Tenth Rank, Tianjianzi had always suppressed this kind of calling. But in recent years, this calling had become stronger and stronger, and Tianjianzi vaguely realized that if he continued to delay, something terrifying might happen.
"Luan Er, when will you reach the peak of the Ninth Rank?" Tianjianzi's gaze shifted slightly, falling on 'Bai Qing'er.'
Bai Qing'er, originally named 'Luan Er' was said to be Tianjianzi's childhood sweetheart, but that wasn't the case. Luan E was just Tianjianzi's younger sister. However, ever since the incident with Xiahou Yuan, Luan Er directly took 'Bai Qing'er' as her real name.
"Soon" Luan Ee said indifferently.
"When you reach the peak of the Ninth Rank, I will do everything to help you step into the Tenth Rank," Tianjianzi said.
"When will the Sect Master go out and bring Xiahou Yuan back to me?" Luan Er suddenly said.
"Xiahou Yuan?" Tianjianzi frowned. He had long stopped caring about Xiahou Yuan. However, seeing Luan Er like this, it was obvious that she had a heart demon left behind by that incident.
"Forget it," Tianjianzi sighed inwardly. Even if he was at the Tenth Rank, if Xiahou Yuan was hiding somewhere, there was nothing he could do.
However, after decades of cultivation, Tianjianzi had delved quite deeply into the Tenth Rank and even comprehended several secret techniques left by the predecessors of the Tenth Rank. If he paid a certain price, it was still possible to locate Xiahou Yuan's position.
"After the banquet, I will bring Xiahou Yuan back. But Luan Er, you have to promise me something," Tianjianzi said in a flat tone, as if bringing back the legendary demon Xiahou Yuan, who had once dominated the five domains, was as easy as picking up a cat or a dog by the roadside.
"Thank you, Sect Master," Bai Qing'er said with joy immediately. By now, she had already begun to brew up scenes of Xiahou Yuan falling into her hands.
Suddenly, at this moment, countless strong individuals gathered at the top of Tianjian Mountain, and they suddenly realized that the sky and the earth seemed to darken. The sunny and misty peak of Tianjian Mountain suddenly became gloomy.
"What's that?" Some strong individuals looked up at the sky and saw a huge shadow resembling a continent suddenly descending towards Tianjian Mountain.
"Not good."
"Run."
"What is this thing?" Although many strong individuals didn't know why this "continent" shadow appeared here, they realized that staying here would definitely not lead to anything good.
So they all madly fled in all directions. As long as they could escape the coverage of the "continent" shadow, they should be safe.
Unfortunately, it was too late. The "continent" shadow was descending too quickly, and the boundless Yin energy permeated, turning into terrifying pressure, restricting the speed of all the strong individuals.
Boom! Tianjianzi soared into the sky. The aura of a Tenth Rank powerhouse erupted wildly, shaking the heavens and the earth.
Others could run, but Tianjianzi couldn't because beneath his feet was Tianjian Mountain, the core of Tianjian Sect. If he fled and something happened to Tianjian Mountain, wouldn't he be the culprit of Tianjian Sect's sins for tens of thousands of years?
Most importantly, Tianjianzi faintly felt that even if he wanted to run, he couldn't. His body was filled with invisible Yin energy, and even though Tianjianzi was a Tenth Rank powerhouse, his speed was greatly reduced. There was simply no hope of escaping before the "continent" shadow descended.
"Stop!" Tianjianzi's eyes turned bloodshot, his aura surged again, like a deity trying to stop the descending "continent" shadow.
However...
Boom! Tianjianzi's entire body suddenly exploded. The "continent" shadow didn't stop at all and continued to descend towards Tianjian Mountain.
With the continuous descent of the "continent" shadow, Tianjian Mountain began to collapse. Strong individuals exploded rapidly, their flesh and souls continuously turning into fragments and falling down.
During this time, some strong individuals realized that they couldn't escape and chose to stand and resist. However, it was futile.
They all exploded one after another. Just a few breaths later, Tianjian Mountain, which stood tall, was flattened, leaving behind a huge pit several tens of miles deep.
If one were to look from thousands of miles away, they would see that this pit resembled a footprint, but it had been magnified billions of times.
Hum! Countless auras of souls turned into flowing light and rushed in all directions. The rich blood qi spread out. Just now, that kick shattered the flesh of countless strong individuals.
However, their souls were still intact, and although many of them were severely damaged, they hadn't completely shattered. Now, seizing the opportunity, they fled like crazy.
At this moment, above the distant sea of thousands of miles away, another huge "shadow" descended. If one looked closely, they would find that this huge "shadow" resembled a human face, with blurred features that couldn't be made out.
The face opened its huge mouth and deeply sucked in the direction of the huge footprint.
Boom! Before the terrifying suction force, souls and shattered blood qi all turned into long dragons and rushed into the huge mouth of the face.
Hundreds of miles away, in a dense forest, Xiao Huo, Shen Lang, Yang Bixing, and other three highly anticipated leaders of the young generation were pale and stiff.
The towering Tianjian Mountain was directly flattened under the foot of that majestic figure, and countless strong individuals on the mountain, including Tianjianzi, the Tenth Rank powerhouse, had their flesh and souls shattered and were swallowed by the majestic figure.
This... this... Xiao Huo and the others' minds were in a mess. Especially Shen Lang, who had obtained the inheritance of a certain Eleventh Rank powerhouse from fifty thousand years ago.
However, even fifty thousand years ago, a hundred thousand years ago, or even more ancient times, such a shocking scene had never appeared, right?
"This is... soul," Xiao Huo touched the ring on his right hand, barely suppressing the shock in his heart, and said in a low voice.
"Soul?"
"That majestic figure is a soul?" Shen Lang and Yang Bixing took another deep breath. Even though the souls of the Ninth Rank pinnacle powerhouses were powerful, they were at most a hundred feet long.
The souls of Tenth Rank powerhouses might possibly reach several hundred feet. However, just now, that majestic figure was at least a hundred thousand feet long.
If the soul was so huge, how strong was its owner?
Twelfth Rank?
Thirteenth Rank?
Xiao Huo and the others dared not believe it. Even though they had countless adventures and perhaps thought they could reach the Tenth Rank, Shen Lang had the inheritance of an Eleventh Rank powerhouse, they never dared to think about going higher.
Because this had completely surpassed reality.
"This... this is the Lord. This is the Lord's Yin soul," compared to Xiao Huo and the others' shock and horror, Situ Ming was stunned for a moment, then his tone became excited.
When he was still the Five-Colored Lotus, he had spent a long time with Lin Yuan and was quite familiar with his aura.
Although the majestic figure now was toppling the sky and covering the earth, and its power was overwhelming, the aura faintly emanating from its body was similar to the aura Situ Ming had felt from the Lord.
"The Lord?"
"Are you saying that this soul is the Demon Emperor Xiahou Yuan's?" Xiao Huo and the others looked at each other, how could they have imagined that Xiahou Yuan, who had long withdrawn from the stage of the five domains, had already cultivated to such a level? Just a soul could flatten Tianjian Mountain.
The flattening here was not symbolic, such as sweeping away many strong individuals of Tianjian Sect and trampling Tianjianzi.
It was a physical flattening.
The entire Tianjian Mountain was leveled.
"Xiahou Yuan."
Xiao Huo and the others thought carefully.
Xiahou Yuan, who had such deep enmity with Tianjian Sect and was willing to directly flatten the mountain gate of Tianjian Sect, was definitely counted among them.
Moreover, Xiao Huo and the others didn't think that Situ Ming had the guts to impersonate such a powerful figure as their Lord.
If it were to spread to his ears, the entire demonic path would be flattened like Tianjian Mountain.
Just as Xiao Huo and the others were talking softly.
Hundreds of miles away, the majestic figure, which was more than a hundred thousand feet tall, turned its head slightly and looked toward the dense forest from afar.
Boom!
Just a single glance made Xiao Huo and the others feel an unprecedented pressure, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing, and all things were being destroyed.
"No..."
Instinctively, Xiao Huo, Shen Lang, and Yang Bixing knelt on the ground, unable to continue looking directly at the majestic figure.
Although they were hundreds of miles apart, Xiao Huo and the others were well aware that hundreds of miles were just a "few steps" for that majestic figure.
"Interesting."
It seemed that the Yin soul had discovered something, as the figure suddenly dispersed and turned into countless strands of Yin energy, disappearing on the spot.
Only after the Yin soul had left for nearly half an hour did Xiao Huo, Shen Lang, Yang Bixing, and the others dare to raise their heads.
Confirming the disappearance of the majestic figure, the three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"What... what should we do now?" Yang Bixing, with a gentle demeanor, asked softly after a long while.
As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Huo, Shen Lang, and Yang Bixing fell into silence.
According to their original plan, they were supposed to challenge strong individuals everywhere to pave their own path to the Tenth Rank.
Tianjianzi, as the strongest in the Five Domains, was naturally their target. But now that Tianjianzi was dead, the challenge was naturally impossible.
Although Tianjianzi was dead, there was now a figure far surpassing Tianjianzi.
That was the "Demon Emperor Xiahou Yuan" mentioned by Situ Ming.
And challenging the Demon Emperor Xiahou Yuan?
Challenging my ass.
Forget about the original body of the Demon Emperor Xiahou Yuan, even if it was just a strand of his soul, or more accurately, just a gaze of his soul.
Xiao Huo and the others felt that the collapse of the heavens and the earth and the inability to withstand it.
Still want to challenge?
Xiao Huo and the others were indeed ambitious, but they were not fools. They knew it was death to hope to move forward even knowing it was death.
They dared to challenge Tianjianzi before because they had confidence in their ability to save their lives. Even if they failed, they could still retreat safely.
But facing the Demon Emperor Xiahou Yuan...
Xiao Huo, Shen Lang, and Yang Bixing glanced at each other.
Suddenly, they felt bored. Originally, they were full of confidence in cultivation and believed that with their efforts, they could surpass anyone.
Just seeing the majestic figure that toppled just now, their state of mind began to collapse. What's the use of cultivation? Isn't it just a matter of that majestic figure's foot?
Even without a foot.
Just a glance, or a hint of killing intent?
Under the palace.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
Hum!
Strands of Yin energy converged.
The Yin soul appeared in front of Lin Yuan.
"Is it done?" Lin Yuan asked casually.
Actually, as the original body, he shared the "perspective" with the Yin and Yang gods.
To be precise, one consciousness was divided into three, and Lin Yuan could see everything that the Yin soul did clearly if he looked back.
The question just now, "Is it done?" was just a casual one.
"A Yin god of one hundred thousand feet."
Lin Yuan's gaze was leisurely.
Regardless of which world it was placed in, one hundred thousand feet was already a huge creature.
If converted into other units, according to one foot equaling three point three meters, one hundred thousand feet would be three hundred and thirty thousand meters.
That's six hundred miles.
Even in the main world, such a huge body could be counted as a fifth-order life form, one of the strongest life forms on the surface.
Of course, the soul was different from the flesh. The soul had no flesh and blood restrictions. As long as the realm was reached, it could almost infinitely skyrocket.
