The Bloodthirsty Ancestor was pinned down completely, unable to move an inch as his Spiritual Power was drained at will. The humiliation was intense, far more so than what the Profound Celestial Spirit King had felt. The Profound Celestial Spirit King had been a mere Divine Thought, so it couldn’t truly feel humiliation.

But the Bloodthirsty Ancestor was different. Being utterly suppressed by a member of the younger generation, how could he not be enraged?

"Release our Ancestor!"

At that moment, Qing Tianxuan roared and charged over. The other elders did the same. They were weaker than Yi Tianyun, but if they didn’t help, their Ancestor would remain suppressed. If the Ancestor died, they would be next.

As the elders attacked, a cold glint flashed in Yi Tianyun’s eyes. ’Looks like I can’t absorb this peacefully until I get rid of you first!’

He then stomped hard on the Bloodthirsty Ancestor, using him as a stepping stone before launching himself toward the elders.

The sight made their faces turn pale. The terrifying power was so oppressive they could barely breathe. Before Yi Tianyun even got close, they felt an extreme cold seep into their very bones, as if they were about to be Frozen solid.

Terrified, they scrambled to flee, but under the partial Frozen effect, their movements were far slower than before.

"Since you’re here, don’t even think about leaving."

Yi Tianyun’s eyes flashed. He threw a punch—THUD! One of the elders was sent flying. He then took a few more steps forward and smashed another punch out. THUD! Another one was knocked away!

In the blink of an eye, two elders were sent flying. After spinning several times in mid-air, they crashed heavily to the ground. Large parts of their bodies were Frozen, and the ice was continuing to spread inward.

However, the encroaching ice no longer caused them any pain, for the sound from the system signified their end.

"Ding! Successfully killed a Cyan Profound Mansion Elder. Gained 670,000 EXP, 11,000 Madness Value..."

"Ding! Successfully killed a Cyan Profound Mansion Elder..."

Two elders were killed with ease. Meanwhile, Qing Tianxuan, the Mansion Master, had been hiding at the very back, so the area-of-effect from Frost Fist barely affected him. The moment he saw Yi Tianyun charge, he turned tail and ran. He had been the last to rush in to provide support in the first place.

Clearly, no one wanted to throw their life away, least of all the Mansion Master. As a Mansion Master, he had a limitless future and wielded great power.

"You damn brat, you’ve enraged me!" the Bloodthirsty Ancestor roared from behind him. A towering Evil Qi erupted from his body. He then took out a Bone Blade covered in densely packed Divine Runes, which looked like veins spreading across its surface.

Holding the blade, he slashed it viciously across his own arm. With a sickening slice, blood sprayed out and was absorbed into the Bone Blade. In that instant, his power surged wildly, and his Combat Power began to skyrocket—Berserk!

Every Cultivator has different ways to unleash their power. The most common method is burning one’s own Essence Blood for a burst of strength, which can often provide a significant boost. The corresponding price is a severe side effect: a drop in cultivation level after it ends, and a long recovery period.

The Bloodthirsty Ancestor didn’t have much of his lifespan left, making burning his Essence Blood an even greater taboo. But the humiliation of being suppressed moments ago made him want to tear Yi Tianyun limb from limb!

2,200,000!

2,300,000!

...

2,500,000 Combat Power!

After burning his Essence Blood, the Bloodthirsty Ancestor’s strength rose dramatically, soaring by 400,000 Combat Power—a terrifying increase! His power instantly surpassed Yi Tianyun’s, and the horrifying aura put some pressure on him.

’As expected of a Core Transformation Stage expert. The power unleashed from an already strong foundation is truly astounding...’

Yi Tianyun stopped, his expression grave. ’It seems I won’t be able to drain all his Spiritual Power this time.’ A fiery light flickered in his eyes. The next moment, he detonated the Dragon God Bloodline within him, and his entire body was instantly covered in Dragon Scales!

With the Dragon God Bloodline ignited, stacked on top of Madness Mode, his Combat Power exploded upward!

2,500,000!

2,600,000!

...

2,800,000!

After activating his Dragon God Bloodline, his Combat Power soared once more, reaching a staggering 2,800,000! This time, he wouldn’t be using Frost Fist again. While its Frozen effect was guaranteed, it lacked sufficient power.

He switched back to the Sword of Endlessness and took a deep breath. ’It’s a bit of a waste, but it’s time to end this!’

"You’re the one who’s finished!"

"Bloodthirsty God!"

The Bloodthirsty Ancestor, naturally, refused to admit defeat. With a furious roar, he swung the Bone Blade, cleaving it toward Yi Tianyun as a crimson light shot to the heavens and enveloped the area. A massive, illusory figure appeared behind him—a blood-red demon with a savage and terrifying face. It mirrored his movements, raising its own Bone Blade and bringing it down on Yi Tianyun.

The originally azure sky was instantly shrouded in this bloody light. From a distance, one might think some horrifying event was taking place.

’Luck Aura, activate!’

In that instant, Yi Tianyun activated his Luck Aura, increasing his Luck Level tenfold!

He activated his Luck Aura not merely for the Treasure he might get from killing the Bloodthirsty Ancestor, but to increase his critical hit chance. However, even after he used it, the Sword of Endlessness didn’t trigger a critical hit; its effect was no different from a normal attack.

Even so, its power was still astonishing. It transformed into a long rainbow of light, piercing forward, relying on sheer, brute force without the need for any Martial Arts!

BOOM!

When the two attacks collided violently, the demon the Bloodthirsty Ancestor had summoned shattered. He himself was sent flying backward, nearly losing his grip on the Bone Blade. Yi Tianyun was also pushed back slightly, but he was largely unharmed. In contrast, the Bloodthirsty Ancestor’s attack was completely dispersed.

The difference in their power was instantly apparent!

"No way... The Ancestor burned his Essence Blood and he still can’t win!" Qing Tianxuan gaped, dumbfounded.

"Impossible... I’ll kill you!" the Bloodthirsty Ancestor roared in fury. Gripping the Bone Blade with both hands, he once again cleaved it viciously down at Yi Tianyun. Thousands of demons surged up from behind him, his power rising to another level!

Shi Xueyun clenched her fists, her face full of worry. They were all concerned for Yi Tianyun.

In Yi Tianyun’s eyes, however, there was only hope, not despair! No matter how strong the enemy, his will was as firm as a rock!

"Sword Breaks the Sky!"

He swung his sword to meet the attack. At that moment, the Sword of Endlessness began to hum, and the Divine Runes on its surface started to tremble as its power skyrocketed—double damage!

On this second sword strike, the double damage effect successfully triggered. The entire sword erupted with an impossibly brilliant light that seemed to pierce the heavens.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A force capable of piercing through anything stabbed toward the Bloodthirsty Ancestor, rapidly disintegrating and dissolving his attack. Under this rampant power, the descending Bone Blade shattered piece by piece. The light then easily pierced through the Bloodthirsty Ancestor’s body, and the dazzling radiance consumed him.

At that moment, Yi Tianyun’s Eye of Investigation focused on that single sword strike, displaying its Combat Power—4,700,000!

"No!"

As the Bloodthirsty Ancestor was engulfed by the light, he let out a final, agonizing scream before being completely consumed, followed by utter silence.
