At the very front of the enormous dragon bone war fleet, the demonic immortal master slowly stepped forward until he completely emerged from within the dark crimson pavilion situated atop the largest floating bone ship.

The moment he appeared, the atmosphere throughout the entire fleet immediately became heavier.

Dark winds continuously roared around him while demonic Qi flowed endlessly from beneath his robes like black smoke escaping from the depths of hell itself. His long hair drifted behind him without any wind touching it directly, and the countless disciples standing throughout the dragon bone ships instantly lowered their heads respectfully.

This man was not ordinary.

He was one of the Blood Soul Sect’s true elders.

A peak Core Formation demonic cultivator.

Someone who had slaughtered countless orthodox cultivators throughout his life.

Someone whose name alone caused weaker sects to tremble.

Behind him stood rows upon rows of demonic disciples wearing blood red robes embroidered with skull patterns and twisted black symbols. Some disciples held blood colored sabers still dripping with fresh blood while others carried strange jars filled with floating human souls screaming silently within transparent liquid.

Several Gu cultivators stood beside gigantic insects large enough to crush buildings.

One disciple rested calmly atop a massive black centipede covered entirely in armored spikes while another fed pieces of flesh toward a horrifying bat creature with a humanlike face attached to its chest.

Even the floating dragon bone ships themselves looked terrifying beyond words.

The ships were not made from ordinary materials.

Their hulls were literally formed from enormous dragon skeletons refined into war vessels using demonic methods. Crimson runes glowed throughout the ancient bones continuously while black chains wrapped around the vessels tightly like restraints suppressing countless souls trapped within.

At the front of every ship rested gigantic dragon skulls with glowing red eyes.

Dark smoke endlessly leaked from their mouths.

The skies behind the fleet looked horrifying.

Massive dark clouds followed the dragon bone ships while red lightning flashed continuously throughout the heavens. Thick demonic Qi spread outward in all directions as though darkness itself was swallowing the sky.

The demonic immortal master slowly raised his chin afterward while looking toward the distant floating islands of the Silent Sword Sect.

Then—

A smirk slowly appeared across his face.

"So..."

His voice echoed heavily across the skies.

"This pathetic little place is the so called Silent Sword Sect?"

The surrounding Blood Soul Sect disciples immediately burst into loud laughter afterward.

"Hahahahaha!"

"This broken sect actually made so much trouble for us?"

"They can barely even defend their own floating islands!"

One disciple spat downward mockingly afterward.

"Their buildings look like they’re about to collapse!"

Another disciple laughed loudly while pointing toward the distant islands.

"So this is where the Blood Soul Sovereign’s possession plan failed?"

"Hahahahaha!"

Several demonic disciples continuously mocked the Silent Sword Sect while laughing without restraint.

One Gu cultivator kicked a chained orthodox cultivator corpse directly off the bone ship casually before speaking arrogantly.

"After we finish here, let’s refine all their disciples into blood puppets!"

Another disciple grinned cruelly afterward.

"No no, keep the female disciples alive first."

The surrounding demonic disciples immediately laughed again after hearing that.

Yet suddenly—

The demonic immortal master paused slightly.

His smile slowly weakened.

Because at that moment...

He sensed something strange.

The surrounding spiritual Qi density felt abnormally rich.

Not just within the islands themselves.

But everywhere.

The rivers below.

The trees.

The grasses.

Even the tiny insects flying near the floating islands carried traces of spiritual energy naturally within their bodies.

That should not happen inside a declining low ranked sect.

The immortal master slowly narrowed his eyes afterward while observing the surroundings carefully once more.

Meanwhile, several Blood Soul Sect disciples gradually noticed it too.

One disciple suddenly frowned deeply.

"Wait..."

Another disciple looked around afterward with growing confusion.

"The spiritual Qi here feels unusually dense..."

A Gu cultivator slowly reached out and caught a tiny flying insect nearby.

Then his expression immediately changed slightly.

"This insect..."

He stared at it carefully.

"...it naturally absorbed spiritual Qi."

Several surrounding disciples instantly became quieter afterward.

Another disciple touched the grasses growing across one of the floating islands below.

Then his eyes widened slightly.

"Even the grasses are spiritually enriched..."

The atmosphere throughout the fleet gradually became more serious afterward.

Because honestly...

This situation felt abnormal.

Completely abnormal.

Even the immortal master himself gradually lost portions of his earlier arrogance.

"...Could it actually be true?"

He muttered quietly afterward.

"Could there truly be a Nascent Soul cultivator hidden within this place?"

The moment those words escaped his mouth, several Blood Soul Sect disciples immediately became visibly nervous.

One disciple swallowed heavily afterward.

"Elder..."

"If there’s really a Nascent Soul expert here..."

Another disciple hurriedly continued afterward.

"...should we perhaps retreat temporarily first?"

Several surrounding disciples immediately nodded in agreement.

Because regardless of how arrogant demonic cultivators acted normally...

A Nascent Soul cultivator was still a terrifying existence.

The demonic immortal master immediately snorted coldly afterward.

"Cowards."

Boom.

Terrifying peak Core Formation spiritual pressure instantly exploded outward from his body afterward.

Several weaker disciples immediately straightened themselves afterward.

The elder slowly swept his gaze toward everyone before speaking again calmly.

"I possess a transmission device personally connected toward one of our Blood Soul Sect ancestors."

His voice gradually regained confidence again afterward.

"If something truly goes wrong..."

A cruel smile slowly appeared across his face once more.

"...then the ancestor himself will descend personally."

The surrounding disciples immediately relaxed afterward.

"That’s right!"

"With an ancestor backing us, what is there to fear?"

Another disciple laughed loudly afterward.

"Hahaha!"

"Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator truly exists here, our ancestors can still suppress them eventually!"

The atmosphere throughout the fleet gradually became arrogant once again afterward.

Then eventually—

The massive dragon bone war fleet finally approached the floating islands of the Silent Sword Sect completely.

And naturally...

The Silent Sword Sect disciples immediately noticed them.

Several disciples currently cleaning damaged buildings instantly froze afterward.

Their expressions quickly changed toward shock.

"The Blood Soul Sect..."

"A war fleet..."

"How did they find us this quickly?!"

Several disciples immediately gripped their weapons tightly while staring toward the horrifying fleet darkening the skies above them.

Meanwhile, atop the largest dragon bone ship, the demonic immortal master slowly floated upward proudly before speaking loudly.

"Disciples of the Silent Sword Sect!"

His voice thundered throughout the floating islands heavily.

"I am Elder Xuan He of the Blood Soul Sect!"

Boom.

Terrifying spiritual pressure immediately spread throughout the skies afterward.

Several weaker Silent Sword Sect disciples instantly became pale.

The elder slowly smirked afterward while looking down arrogantly.

"To think..."

His eyes swept across the damaged sect mockingly.

"...that this broken trash heap still contains survivors."

Several Blood Soul Sect disciples immediately laughed loudly again afterward.

"Hahahahaha!"

"Look at them!"

"They still think they can resist us!"

The elder continued speaking arrogantly afterward.

"Your sect master is dead."

"Your elders are dead."

"Your strongest genius escaped like a frightened stray dog."

"And yet..."

A cruel smile slowly widened across his face.

"...you insects still dare continue breathing before my Blood Soul Sect?"

Several Silent Sword Sect disciples instantly became furious afterward.

Yet before they could even respond—

The elder casually waved one hand.

Immediately afterward—

The Blood Soul Sect disciples started descending toward the floating islands below.

Some rode enormous Gu insects resembling armored centipedes.

Others mounted horrifying blood colored bats with human faces growing from their wings.

Several disciples released terrifying demonic treasures into the skies.

Blood banners.

Flying skull wheels.

Soul lamps.

Bone chains.

One disciple even summoned a gigantic black spider carrying dozens of stitched human corpses across its back.

The skies instantly became filled with horrifying demonic creatures and treasures.

Blood Soul Sect disciples continuously laughed loudly while descending toward the Silent Sword Sect islands like a massive tide of darkness swallowing prey.

"Kill everyone!"

"Capture the women alive first!"

"Hahahahaha!"

"Destroy everything!"

The Gu beasts screeched endlessly while dark clouds swallowed the skies entirely.

The atmosphere instantly became hopeless.

Terrifying.

Suffocating.

Meanwhile—

Inside the real world—

Clayne simply watched quietly.

Then casually—

He lowered one finger.

Boom.

A gigantic palm suddenly descended from the heavens.

The hand looked unimaginably massive.

Countless times larger than mountains themselves.

The Blood Soul Sect disciples never even managed reacting properly.

The arrogant elder’s expression instantly froze.

His eyes widened slightly.

"What—"

Then—

BOOM!!!

The massive palm smashed downward instantly.

The entire dragon bone fleet exploded apart violently.

Bone ships shattered into dust immediately.

Gu beasts burst into blood mist.

Demonic treasures exploded apart like toys.

Blood Soul Sect disciples became flattened stains without even understanding what happened.

Even Elder Xuan He himself never managed resisting.

One moment—

He floated proudly above the heavens.

The next—

He became a bloody paste smeared across shattered dragon bones.

They didn’t even manage to mount a dramatic defense, resist, or react—they died like they were nothing.

Absolute silence followed afterward.

Meanwhile, throughout the Silent Sword Sect...

The disciples froze completely.

Then suddenly—

Every disciple immediately knelt downward emotionally.

"Thank you, Senior Deity!"

"Senior Deity saved us again!"

"We thank Senior Deity for protecting our sect!"

The disciples continuously bowed repeatedly afterward.

Meanwhile, Clayne awkwardly scratched his cheek slightly.

"Just ignore me and continue doing whatever you were already doing."

His giant voice echoed calmly throughout the miniature world.

"I’m going to test something."

The disciples immediately lowered their heads respectfully afterward.

"Yes, Deity!"

Meanwhile, Clayne quietly thought about the title once more.

Senior Deity.

Honestly...

The way they kept calling him still felt extremely strange.

But eventually—

He simply ignored it.

Instead, he focused toward the chips bag in his hand once again.

Then carefully—

Clayne placed several chips atop one empty floating island within the miniature world.

The moment the chips touched the island—

The entire atmosphere changed instantly.

Whoooooosh.

Violent spiritual winds suddenly erupted throughout the floating islands.

The surrounding air twisted continuously while massive amounts of spiritual Qi surged toward the chips from every direction possible.

The phenomenon intensified unbelievably fast.

The skies above the floating island instantly darkened while endless streams of spiritual energy spiraled violently downward like heavenly rivers descending from the sky.

The chips themselves slowly started glowing afterward.

Golden spiritual light continuously gathered around them while dense spiritual Qi exploded outward repeatedly.

The entire Silent Sword Sect became affected instantly.

The rivers started glowing faintly.

The grasses bent beneath overwhelming spiritual pressure.

The trees swayed violently despite lacking wind.

Even the clouds throughout the heavens began swirling continuously.

Then—

Boom!

Another massive surge of spiritual Qi erupted outward afterward.

The surrounding Silent Sword Sect disciples instantly widened their eyes in disbelief.

"This..."

"The spiritual Qi density..."

"It’s increasing rapidly!"

The disciples immediately sat down instinctively afterward.

One after another.

Lotus position.

Cultivation.

Because the spiritual Qi gathering throughout the sect became overwhelmingly rich.

Several disciples instantly broke through cultivation bottlenecks.

Others stabilized damaged foundations rapidly.

Some injured disciples even started recovering visible wounds immediately.

Spiritual mist gradually formed throughout the floating islands due to overwhelming Qi density.

The phenomenon continued intensifying continuously.

Meanwhile, Clayne only stared blankly toward the glowing chips.

"What the hell..."

...

Far away...

Inside the deepest forbidden mountain of the Blood Soul Sect...

An ancient elder slowly opened his eyes.

The elder looked horrifyingly thin.

Almost like a ghost.

His skin tightly wrapped around his bones while dark spiritual Qi continuously leaked from his body endlessly.

The entire forbidden mountain trembled slightly afterward.

Then slowly—

The elder spoke.

"Someone..."

His voice sounded ancient and terrifyingly cold.

"...massacred my direct disciples and several juniors of the Blood Soul Sect?"

Boom.

Terrifying killing intent instantly erupted throughout the forbidden mountain afterward.

Ghostly spiritual Qi flooded the surroundings violently while countless trapped souls screamed throughout the darkness.

The elder slowly stood afterward while black smoke continuously gathered around him.

Then slowly—

A horrifying smile appeared across his face.

"I..."

His voice echoed heavily.

"...Fu Shugao..."

Boom.

"...will make this cultivation world tremble once again!"
