The mountain gate collapsed, smoke and dust churning into the sky. Between heaven and earth, only Lin Xun’s five dao bodies remained, standing tall in the void like ancient gods gazing down upon a fallen world.

Hu—The wind howled and chaos rolled in waves. The surrounding mountains and rivers had long since been reduced to barren ruin, stripped of all life, everything reduced to ash. Everyone stood frozen in terror, staring at Lin Xun’s dao bodies, each one bathed in surging divine radiance of immortal law.

Nineteen perfect Transcendence Realm beings, all except Donghuang Jiuhui, were slaughtered by Lin Xun alone, as effortlessly as chopping vegetables!

Too strong. Far too strong.

Throughout history, there had been peerless figures who crushed an era and dominated their generation. However, someone like Lin Xun who slaughtered those of the same realms as easily as killing chickens had never been seen across all the heavens!

“You’re the only one left.” Lin Xun’s Green Wood Dao Body looked down at Donghuang Jiuhui’s trembling primordial spirit. There was neither joy nor hatred in his eyes, only cold indifference.

“Lin Xun, within a thousand years, the epochal calamity will descend. No one can escape it...not even you. I will be waiting for you on the road to the Yellow Springs!” Donghuang Jiuhui rasped, his spirit flickering weakly as resentment blazed in his gaze.

Lin Xun’s expression did not change. His divine sense pierced into Donghuang Jiuhui’s primordial spirit like a sharp celestial blade. A stifled cry tore from Donghuang Jiuhui as his spirit convulsed. The next instant...Boom!

His primordial spirit shattered and scattered into oblivion.

“No wonder...all this time, those old antiques from the other Immortal Giants arrived through a teleportation array...”

A dark light flashed in Lin Xun’s eyes. He had found what he wanted to know from the primordial spirit of Donghuang Jiuhui. In the next moment, his figure vanished and reappeared deep within Hazy Moon Divine Mountain.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Along the way, countless Donghuang Clan experts lurked in hiding. All those whose cultivation surpassed the Emperor Realm were detected by Lin Xun’s divine sense and instantly crippled. Any who had reached the Transcendence Realm were slain on the spot.

This time, Lin Xun once again did not carry out a total extermination. Just as he had said before, he only killed the truly guilty. Just as he had done to the enemy forces in the Sixth Heaven Domain, once their mountain gate was trampled and their law power seized, those whose cultivation was only below the Emperor Realm were doomed never to rise again.

Moreover, with the Donghuang Clan’s decline, they were bound to become easy prey in the eyes of others. Those who would kick them while they were down or seize the chance to loot them would be countless. Lin Xun was certain that after this battle, the forces that had once served under the Donghuang Clan would be the first to turn into starving wolves, tearing into them and devouring them piece by piece.

“Spare me, Senior! I beg you!”

“Senior, I am only an outer elder who serves under the Donghuang Clan. I do not belong to the Donghuang bloodline. I beg you, please leave me a way to live!”

“Lin Xun! Sooner or later, you will die a horrible death!”

Hazy Moon Divine Mountain had descended into total chaos. Some of the Donghaung Clan members knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, some resisted with all the strength they had left, some fled in sheer terror and others shouted venomous threats.

However, Lin Xun showed no reaction whatsoever. He would not indiscriminately slaughter the innocent, but he had his own boundaries and his own principles.

With every step he took, blood spilled upon Hazy Moon Divine Mountain, gathering into streams that ran down its slopes. Shrill, desperate screams rang out from every direction. Those spared by Lin Xun fled in terror, their panic spreading through the mountain until it became a land of ruin and despair.

Shua!

Before long, Lin Xun’s figure flashed, and he arrived at the core of the Donghuang Clan: a towering mountain peak saturated with terrifying spatial law. Cascading streams of space law power poured down its sides like celestial waterfalls.

He reached out and grasped. Boom!

With a thunderous rumble, the entire mountain collapsed. From within it, a thousand-foot stream of law origin surged forth like a furious dragon. Lin Xun clenched his hand, and the writhing law origin was seized firmly in his grasp.

It was a rare ninth grade Heaven Rank law related to the dao of space, and its law spirit was that tyrannical halberd. For any other Transcendence powerhouse, subduing such a law would have been an arduous, perilous process fraught with danger.

However, for Lin Xun, whose own Immortal law was already comparable to a Divine Rank law, this rare ninth grade Heaven Rank law was no more than an ant. With a single refining thought, he compressed it into a bead the size of a pigeon’s egg and swallowed it into his body.

“If this law is gone, how could the Donghuang Clan ever rise again? Unless, they find another of equal rank, but unfortunately, such rare Heaven Rank laws are not so easily obtained...” he murmured.

As the thought faded, he turned and shot off toward another direction. In no time, all the wealth and cultivation resources the Donghuang Clan had accumulated over countless ages were swept clean by Lin Xun. In the end, his five dao bodies came to a halt before an ancient grand array.

“With this array, I no longer need to worry about the other Immortal Giants forces fleeing at the slightest hint of danger. It will save me a great deal of time and effort.”

Through this ancient array, one could reach any Immortal Giant’s territory in a matter of moments. This meant that Lin Xun could strike before word of the Donghuang Clan’s annihilation spread!

Moreover, the old monsters sent by the other Immortal Giants to aid the Donghuang Clan had already been slain. Now, within their respective forces, there was at most one remaining perfect Transcendence Realm powerhouse standing guard.

They posed almost no threat to Lin Xun. The only price to pay was that activating this ancient array consumed an eighth grade Heaven Rank law each time.

To Lin Xun, who was already outrageously wealthy, such a cost was nothing at all.

“Sending out four dao bodies will be more than enough.” Lin Xun quickly made his decision.

The Black Water Dao Body would remain behind to guard the array, preventing anyone from using the array to escape and warn the other Immortal Giants. The other four dao bodies launched into action, stepping into the ancient teleportation array together.

Buzz!

In an instant, space rippled like water, and their figures vanished.

The Black Water Dao Body, clad in black, remained suspended above the ruined land. Below him, mountains lay shattered, rivers torn apart, and the stench of blood filled the air. It was a scene of utter desolation.

“I never expected this journey to go so smoothly...” he murmured.

When he first arrived in the Eighth Heaven Domain, he had only intended to stir up trouble. If he could inflict serious damage on the Ten Immortal Giants, then that would be more than enough. The reason for this was that the Eighth Heaven Domain and the Ninth Heaven Domain were interconnected, and each of the Ten Immortal Giants was backed by an Eternal Divine Clan.

This made Lin Xun extremely cautious, wary that his appearance in the Eighth Heaven Domain might provoke retaliation from the Ninth Heaven Domain.

For that reason, he had deliberately remained outside Hazy Moon Divine Mountain for several days, giving the Donghuang Clan ample time to make preparations, just to see whether the Ninth Heaven Domain would send reinforcements.

Now he finally had his answer. The Eternal Divine Clan that stood behind the Donghuang Clan had clearly chosen to abandon its watchdog. Otherwise, the Donghuang Clan would never have needed to seek help from the other Immortal Giants at all!

Even more intriguing was the fact that, although the other Immortal Giants themselves were also already gravely weakened and declining, all of them, except the Fu Clan, had still sent their old antiques at the pinnacle of the Transcendence Stage.

From this, Lin Xun immediately concluded that the Eternal Divine Clans behind them were too occupied and unable to lend any further support to these so-called watchdogs....

With that, the entire situation began to tilt in Lin Xun’s favor. At least, without the looming threat of the Eternal Divine Clans of the Ninth Heaven Domain, there were now few forces in the entire Eighth Heaven Domain that could still pose any danger to him!

No wonder Lin Xun felt that this journey had gone so smoothly.

Outside Hazy Moon Divine Mountain.

As time passed, more and more figures gradually began to appear, edging closer to the battlefield. They were all onlookers who had witnessed the blood-soaked carnage from afar. They had seen Lin Xun swiftly and decisively slay Donghuang Jiuhui and the other old antiques like crushing rotten wood, and had watched as the Donghuang Clan’s mountain gate was trampled into ruin.

They approached at this moment out of both curiosity and greed. They wanted to see what had become of the Donghuang Clan’s lair, and whether they could ‘pick up the scraps’ left behind.

However, before a single person dared set foot into Hazy Moon Divine Mountain, Lin Xun’s calm, indifferent voice suddenly echoed across the land.

“Once I leave, you may plunder whatever remains here. But for now, you’d best stay obediently outside the mountain gate. Otherwise...don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

At those words, the spectators’ bodies tremble, their faces draining of color. They had all assumed Lin Xun had already departed, so they had gathered the courage to approach. Never had they imagined he was still here.

However, the meaning behind Lin Xun’s words both startled and excited them. It meant that Senior Lin Xun did not mind them looting the Donghuang Clan’s lair!

Of course, they all knew in their hearts that the true wealth accumulated by the Donghuang Clan over countless ages had likely already been swept clean by Lin Xun himself.

Even so, their excitement was impossible to suppress. If they couldn’t eat the meat, at least they could have a sip of the soup.

After all, Hazy Moon Divine Mountain was a first-class blessed land of the Eighth Heaven Domain. It had been nurtured by the Donghuang Clan for endless years. Putting everything else aside, whoever seized this territory alone could be said to have obtained a supreme fortune!

Moreover, the mountain range stretched for hundreds of thousands of miles and was filled with divine materials and spiritual herbs. What Lin Xun considered beneath notice might be an unimaginable treasure to them!

“The battle has only just ended, and already it’s drawn so many covetous eyes. Once word spreads, who knows how many wolves will descend upon the place...” Lin Xun sighed.

There was no need to speculate. He already knew that the Donghuang Clan was finished. However, none of that concerned him anymore.

......

Lingjue Divine Mountain, stronghold of the number one Immortal Giant, the Wang Clan.

In the eyes of countless living beings across the Eighth Heaven Domain, Lingjue Divine Mountain was like a sacred land beyond compare. For countless ages, the Wang Clan that resided there had stood like an unshakable, invincible sovereign, reigning above all others.

However, over the past hundred years, their power had declined sharply. Their vitality was grievously wounded, their foundation shaken, and their situation was no different from that of the other Immortal Giants.

All of this was thanks to Lin Xun.

Deep into the night, within the grand hall of the Wang Clan, Patriarch Wang Zhongtian paced back and forth alone, his brows tightly knit. Though his expression appeared as calm and composed as ever, the flickering lamplight betrayed the unease etched upon his face.

“Why is there still no news...” Wang Zhongtian murmured, a heavy worry weighing on his heart.

A few days earlier, Wang Daochuan and Wang Fuping, two old antiques of the clan, had taken the clan’s supreme treasure, the Sword of Dao Judgment, and rushed to the Donghuang Clan as reinforcements.

From that moment on, Wang Zhongtian had waited in torment. By now, even his composure was beginning to crack.

If not for the fact that activating the teleportation array even once would cost an eighth grade Heaven Rank Law, he would have already gone to the Donghuang Clan himself to find out what was happening.
