A Combat Power of 2.45 million. The first time he’d unleashed it, even Yi Tianyun himself was completely stunned. This was the effect of an eightfold multiplier. From his original base of over 300,000 Combat Power, his rage had multiplied it eight times over!

With the eightfold multiplier, his power had skyrocketed to 2.45 million, completely overwhelming his opponent. The raw numbers told a terrifying story—a complete and utter demolition of the Cyan Profound Mansion’s Mansion Master!

He had crushed the strongest expert of the Cyan Profound Mansion. Who else could possibly stop him now?

’Even if I hadn’t upgraded Madness Mode, I could have easily defeated the Mansion Master of the Cyan Profound Mansion with the previous fourfold multiplier. This is more or less what I predicted: once my cultivation reaches the fourth or fifth level of the Spirit Pill Stage, combined with Madness Mode, I can defeat practically anyone short of the Alchemy Stage.’

’Now that I have the eightfold Madness Mode, I can kill anyone who comes my way.’

’If Madness Mode continues to level up and reaches a sixteen-fold multiplier, that would be truly heaven-defying.’ He couldn’t even imagine what kind of power he would be able to unleash then. For now, at least, he felt as if he had mastered all power, as if no one in the world could withstand his attacks!

"Cyan Profound Mansion, since you insist on being so oppressive, so tyrannical, then I will be even more tyrannical than you! Today, I will slaughter you all. Next time, I will personally raze the Cyan Profound Mansion to the ground!"

Yi Tianyun advanced step by step, Sword of Endlessness in hand. A terrifying aura pressed down on the surroundings, making the other Spirit Pill Stage experts tremble. They had never witnessed such a formidable presence; it far surpassed anything they could have imagined.

"Is—is that the power of the Spirit Pill Stage? No... That’s the aura of the Alchemy Stage, isn’t it?"

"To have the power of the Alchemy Stage at such a young age... Just what kind of monster is he?"

"W-what do we do now? R-run, let’s run!"

They were trembling uncontrollably. If the Mansion Master hadn’t been there, they would have already fled.

Qing Tianxuan’s expression was grim. He had never expected to encounter such a heaven-defying expert. They hadn’t even truly fought, yet the gap in power was already palpable. It was the same kind of disparity one felt only when facing an expert at the Alchemy Stage.

"Go!"

The next moment, Qing Tianxuan turned and fled without a second’s hesitation, his retreat faster than anyone else’s. But as he ran, Yi Tianyun had already transformed into a sharp ray of light, streaking across the sky in pursuit. He first caught up to one of the elders and, without hesitation, brought the Sword of Endlessness down upon him.

"D-damn you!" the elder roared. He had no intention of being struck by that sword, so he spun around and swung his own to block Yi Tianyun’s attack.

CLANG!

The instant the two swords met, the Sword of Endlessness flared with a brilliant light that suddenly intensified—Damage Doubler mode activated!

BOOM!

The damage from the original strike was already terrifying enough, but when the damage mode suddenly triggered, the power became explosive. The elder was sent flying by the terrifying force, his body blasted in half in midair!

Their bodies hadn’t even touched—only their weapons had. But the contact between the blades had instantly detonated the power, and the violent energy fluctuation was enough to kill the man from the shock alone!

"Ding! Successfully killed a Cyan Profound Mansion elder. Gained 680,000 Experience, 12,000 Madness Value, and 30 Sin Value! Obtained Martial Arts: Netherworld Step, Celestial Morning Fist. Obtained items: Blazing Blade, Gale Shoes."

’With the Fivefold Experience Card active, my total multiplier stacked up to thirty-two times. Getting 680,000 experience for killing a single expert is incredible,’ Yi Tianyun thought, inwardly shaken.

’If I can always earn this much, things will be perfect.’

He was cutting down Spirit Pill Stage experts with a single slash, as easily as slicing melons and vegetables, meeting not a single bit of resistance.

Yi Tianyun continued his relentless pursuit, terrifying the elders into fleeing for their lives, their speed a notch faster than before. They already knew Yi Tianyun was powerful, but now that the fight had begun, they discovered he was even more terrifying. Whether they tried to block his attacks or not, death was the only outcome!

"Trying to run? Since you’re here, you’re not leaving!"

Yi Tianyun sneered and stomped the ground. BOOM! The violent force of his step caved in the earth, creating a huge crater as terrifying power erupted from him. In the next instant, he had already caught up to another elder and thrust the Sword of Endlessness forward.

The elder roared, and the armor on his body erupted with a dazzling light, forming a thick protective barrier. But it was all a futile struggle. PFFT! Without even needing to activate its Damage Doubler mode, the Sword of Endlessness easily pierced through the armor and impaled him.

"Stay here!"

Yi Tianyun viciously yanked his sword back. The elder let out a blood-curdling scream and collapsed to the ground, blood pouring from his wound.

"Ding! Successfully killed a Cyan Profound Mansion elder. Gained 700,000 Experience, 13,000 Madness Value, and 35 Sin Value..."

He had killed another elder with ease. Such was the gap in their power. No matter how his opponent resisted, it was futile. An increase in cultivation brought with it terrifying power. The ability of a single person to slaughter an entire city was no mere legend.

For an expert as powerful as someone at the Alchemy Stage, slaughtering a city by themselves would be an effortless task.

The Black Dragon, not to be outdone, was also rampaging nearby, stomping everything in its path. The Core Formation Stage experts had all been wiped out. All that remained of the Cyan Profound Mansion’s forces were a few elders and the Mansion Master himself. Even if they managed to escape with their lives, the Cyan Profound Mansion was as good as finished.

It would take a massive amount of time to rebuild, and in terms of strength, they would no longer even qualify as a "Mansion." Most of their experts were dead. ’But would I let them go?’ Yi Tianyun thought. ’I’m not about to make the mistake of releasing a tiger back to its mountain.’

"T-too terrifying..." several elders shrieked. They had never seen such a fearsome expert. It was usually them hunting others, but now they were the ones being hunted!

The tables had truly turned.

"I already told you, you’re not getting away!"

Yi Tianyun gave chase once more. They couldn’t escape his pursuit. Even scattering was useless; his speed far surpassed theirs. In the blink of an eye, he would catch up to one, and then it was one slash, one kill.

With another blood-curdling scream, one more elder fell!

"BASTARD!" Qing Tianxuan roared, but he didn’t dare to even slow down. His eyes were filled with endless killing intent and hatred. How could he accept so many of his elders dying here?!

"Three left!"

Yi Tianyun’s eyes flashed. The only ones still fleeing ahead of him were two elders and Qing Tianxuan himself. Once he killed them, it would all be over.

Just as he was about to give chase, a layer of red clouds suddenly drifted across the sky ahead. A heaven-piercing wave of Evil Qi surged from the distance, instantly bearing down on him with immense pressure! 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"The Old Ancestor is here! The Old Ancestor is here!" Qing Tianxuan roared with triumphant delight. Their Old Ancestor had finally arrived to reinforce them!

"The Old Ancestor!"

Yi Tianyun froze. He sensed the terrifying Evil Qi, which was accompanied by the thick stench of blood. It was clear that the newcomer was an unbelievably powerful expert. ’His cultivation is probably at the Alchemy Stage. If so, the pressure will be immense.’

’An Old Ancestor, is it? I’ll kill as many as they send!’ Yi Tianyun felt no fear. It wasn’t surprising that the Cyan Profound Mansion had this kind of trump card.
