Over on the Heavenly Sword Gate's side.
What did they just witness?
Their own old ancestor had been blasted apart!
Their ancestor had ascended to the heavens!
It was over! Everything was over!
With the death of their Void Shattering Realm ancestor, the sect's strength was greatly reduced. They probably wouldn't be able to practice their swords with such arrogance anymore.
There was also the risk of being annexed by other forces.
Thinking this way,
They stared intently with their shrewd little eyes at the remaining three Void Shattering experts.
"Die, die!"
If those three died, the strength of the various sects would be balanced once again.
The numerous cultivators in the distance.
"Holy crap! The Heavenly Sword Gate's ancestor was blown up!"
A man exclaimed!
The chicken leg in his hand also fell to the ground.
It was one thing for this expert from the Azure Cloud Sect to hold his own against four opponents.
But he was getting stronger as he fought, smashing the Heavenly Sword Gate's ancestor into a cloud of blood with one palm!
It was truly... immensely satisfying!
The Heavenly Sword Gate was notorious, and everyone wished to see it destroyed!
If they weren't weaker, they would've already let them taste the might of the iron rod in their hands. Unfortunately, their sword techniques were simply too strong.
The remaining three old ancestors from the major forces were also shocked beyond measure.
Especially the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion in the Eastern Region was even more depressed.
"Why is it that we are all at the peak of the Void Shattering Realm, yet how can you be so strong?"
His internal organs had been severely shaken by the man before him.
"Haha, is that all you've got?"
"Truly, even random nobodies now dare to trespass into my Azure Cloud Sect."
Seeing that the three were struggling more and more as they fought, retreating while fighting, Ye Bai laughed loudly.
"Kid, don't be too arrogant!"
"The chief elder of my Heavenly Mystery Pavilion hasn't even made a move yet."
"Please take action, sir!"
Realizing that even the three of them combined couldn't defeat this person and continuing the fight would likely end with them meeting the same fate as the Heavenly Sword Gate's ancestor the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion turned and shouted toward the warship.
"What a bunch of useless trash!"
"This old man has to take matters into his own hands."
From the largest warship of the various forces, an old man with white hair and a youthful face flew out.
The old man stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Feng Qingyang and the others with an arrogant expression.
"Who is this person? Why does even the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion have to call him 'sir'!"
"You're so ignorant! This is an elder from the Central Region's Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. Our Heavenly Mystery Pavilion here is just an insignificant branch of theirs."
The Central Region! The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion!
Everyone's eyes were opened once again. A powerful figure from the Central Region!
Seeing the elder take action, the remaining three old ancestors hurriedly retreated.
This man was too terrifying!
"Yo, old geezer, you've come to die too?"
Seeing that the cultivation of the arriving old man was unfathomable, Ye Bai's gaze became a bit more serious, but he couldn't lose in verbal sparring.
"Ignorant junior, you were still playing in the mud when this old man was making a name for himself in the Central Region."
"Today, I will let you country bumpkins witness true power!"
As soon as he spoke, the old man released his cultivation, and a terrifying aura swept across the entire battlefield, exerting immense pressure.
An unparalleled Saint Realm aura erupted from the old man's body.
The warships on the side of the various forces were pushed back by the enormous shockwave.
Even the distant onlookers were suppressed by the aura, rendered unable to move.
Only Feng Qingyang's side remained completely unaffected, still calm and unhurried.
"Master, this old man is so strong!"
This old man was definitely the strongest person Shi Hao and Lin Bai had ever seen.
Of course, what they didn't know was that,
The old ancestor standing beside them was a Great Emperor Realm existence.
One slap from him, and this old man wouldn't know how many times he would die.
"Just an ant."
Feng Qingyang said disdainfully.
Feng Qingyang used the system to check the old man's details—he was at the Half-Saint level, just half a step into the Saint Realm. The realm beyond the Peak Void Shattering Realm is the Saint Realm.
However, these two realms are vastly different, representing a sublimation of the lifeform. Throughout history, countless geniuses have been stuck at this stage.
One must convert all spiritual energy into Saint Source to break through. Those who haven't fully completed the conversion are called Half-Saints.
Even a Half-Saint is not comparable to the peak of the Void Shattering Realm; even dozens of the latter combined are no match for a Half-Saint.
A saying circulated throughout the cultivation world:
Shatter the void, draw in the Saint Source, and ascend to sainthood in an instant!
"Who are you trying to scare? Old man!"
"You think you're the only ones with strong people?"
"I'm just a mere outer elder of our Azure Cloud Sect. There are many who are far more powerful than me. You just wait!"
The moment the old man unleashed his Saint Realm aura, Ye Bai, knowing he was no match, decisively retreated.
Outer Elder!
Are you kidding me? An outer elder alone crushed the major forces of Ling Province. How strong is this Azure Cloud Sect then!
Could the Azure Cloud Sect be a reclusive ancient sect, powerful enough to rival the transcendent forces of the Central Region?
Upon hearing Lin Bai's words, everyone's minds started racing with speculation.
"I don't like being looked down on so go ahead and die."
The elder from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion was still stunned by Ye Bai's words.
Did that True Realm brat below really just tell him to die?
"Haha! As expected just a bunch of ignorant fools who only know how to boast!"
"Let me die? Do you even know who this old man is..."
Before he could finish speaking.
Old Ancestor Li Qingyun grabbed him.
With a light squeeze, he was directly crushed.
Blood rain poured down from the sky, turning into fertilizer to nourish the earth. The Saint blood of a Saint Realm expert was a good thing!
The Saint Realm aura dissipated between heaven and earth.
The oppressive force on everyone's bodies also vanished without a trace.
"You talk too much."
?
What just happened?
This scene occurred in an instant.
The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion elder, who was just arrogant and invincible, was crushed?
Everyone was dumbfounded. No matter what, he was a powerful figure from the Central Region.
An existence transcending the Void Shattering Realm. You should at least put up a fight!
But this good fellow just picked him up like a chick and directly crushed him!
"Lord!"
The people from the various major forces were so frightened that their legs went weak.
The more timid ones even wet themselves in fear, causing a stench to fill the surroundings.
What kind of sect had they provoked!
Even a powerful figure from the Central Region was crushed!
Had they known this, they would have obediently come to apologize.
But there is no regret medicine in this world.
"Leave no one who participated alive!"
He wasn't a saint. These people had come to annihilate them, yet he would let them go, releasing a tiger back into the mountains.
One must understand the principle that wild grass cannot be completely burned away; it will grow again with the spring breeze.
"Yes, Sect Master."
Having received the order, Li Qingyun began the slaughter.
"No!"
"We wouldn't dare to offend again please, have mercy, Supreme Sect!"
"We are willing to submit and offer all our resources to the Supreme Sect!"
To this, Feng Qingyang spread his hands, indicating their foolishness. Wouldn't killing them mean all their resources would become his anyway?
As for submitting to the Azure Cloud Sect, sorry, they weren't needed.
The Great Emperor Realm old ancestor directly waved his sleeve, and a terrifying aura capable of tearing apart the heavens and earth swept towards the various major forces.
The boundless imperial might surged forth, and for a moment, the heavens and earth lost their color.
In their expressions of utter fear, they were torn into fragments and dissipated into the air.
Only the countless onlookers outside the battlefield remained.
Feng Qingyang slowly walked forward and said a few words lightly.
"I will only say one thing."
"From now on, the Azure Cloud Sect will be the supreme power in Ling Province."
"Who agrees? Who opposes?"
