Half a month later, Lin Xun had surged straight from the initial Law Transcendence Realm to its advanced stage! If news of this were to spread, it would undoubtedly leave countless ancient Eternals utterly dumbfounded. Among them were those who had spent thousands of years in bitter tempering, only to advance their cultivation by a single step.

In contrast, Lin Xun had crossed two minor realms in just half a month! Even he himself was stunned. His cultivation speed was indeed terrifying!

Before arriving in the Ninth Heaven Domain, he had never imagined that such progress was even possible. However, when he recalled the sheer volume of rare and precious resources he had consumed over the past two weeks, the shock slowly faded.

In barely half a month, he alone devoured nearly thirty percent of the Eternal Realm cultivation resources the Eternal Divine Yang Clan had accumulated over countless ages! This was something no Law Transcendence Eternal could ever dream of!

After all, even an Eternal Divine Clan possessed numerous Eternal Realm experts. Who would even pour such unimaginably precious cultivation resources into a single person?

It could be said that uprooting the Yang Clan granted Lin Xun a fortune no less than heaven-defying. The vast resources the Yang Clan had accumulated over countless ages became nothing but wedding garments for his rise, paving a path of unstoppable advancement.

“With my current cultivation, my combat strength has increased by nearly twice compared to when I was at the initial Law Transcendence Realm!” Lin Xun murmured as he calmly assessed himself. “But reaching the pinnacle of this realm cannot be achieved by relying on resources alone.”

Lin Xun understood that what he needed now was not blind advancement, but steady consolidation, to temper his cultivation to absolute perfection.

Hu—

Exhaling slowly, he calmed his mind and turned his focus inward, beginning to comprehend the Five Principle Laws of Return Dominion. These five principles represented the five fundamental principle powers of the Return Dominion: Blood Refining, Flesh Refining, Dao Refining, Armament Refining, and Spirit Refining.

Each was a taboo power, aimed at all beings who walked the path of cultivation. They could dissolve blood and qi, cultivation, dao power, spirit power, and the might of life-bound dao weapons, refining everything into the most primordial dao origin power.

Lin Xun had already gained profound insight into these laws during his time in the Dao Burial Ground of the Return Dominion. Moreover, according to his fourth senior brother Ling Xuanzi, the reason the hidden mastermind had never been able to control the Return Dominion was precisely because of the Dao Burial Ground.

The very core of the Dao Burial Ground lay in these five fundamental principles!

Throughout history, any Eternals who perished in the Kunlun Dominion during the previous epoch had their remains and power suppressed within the Dao Burial Grounds. Before the arrival of the next epochal calamity, those remnants would be refined and transformed into the purest dao vitality, nourishing the heavens and myriad worlds...

From this alone, one could imagine just how terrifying and profound the five principle laws truly were!

Now, Lin Xun finally possessed the qualifications to comprehend the five principle laws. More importantly, with the essence of Nirvana, his comprehension of these fundamental principles would be far smoother and far easier than that of any other cultivator.

Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, three months had passed. The night was dark as ink. Within Vast Sun Sacred Mountain, Lin Xun slowly opened his eyes, awakening from deep meditation.

The mysteries of the Five Principle Laws of the Return Dominion had already been woven into his own Eternal Law. Although he had yet to fully master them, wielding them in battle posed no difficulty.

More than that, an inexplicable certainty arose within him: If one day he could completely comprehend and bring these five fundamental principles to their ultimate limit, he would be able to truly command and wield the Return Dominion itself. To become its ruler!

Of course, for now, this was nothing more than a feeling.

“It’s time to move...” He exhaled a long turbid breath and rose to his feet.

He had cultivated within Vast Sun Sacred Mountain for more than three months. During that time, his dao had undergone an earth-shaking transformation and he could no longer remain still. Today, he decided to set out for the Eternal Divine Ji Clan.

The Ji Clan lay unimaginably far from Vast Sun Sacred Mountain. Even traversing the void, an Eternal Realm expert would require three full days to reach it. Fortunately, Lin Xun already knew that an ancient teleportation array existed within Vast Sun Sacred Mountain and it could send him to the Ji Clan territory in the shortest possible time.

Before departing, he arrived at the mountain gate.

“Take a look, the Eternal Divine Yang Clan has already met its end.” Lin Xun said quietly.

Under the cover of night, he raised his hand. Qing Qianxue’s figure appeared out of thin air. She froze when she heard his words. “Met its end...?”

“This is Vast Sun Sacred Mountain. Later, I will refine it and take it with me later.” Lin Xun explained in a serious tone. “In other words, from this day onward, Vast Sun Sacred Mountain and the Eternal Divine Yang Clan will no longer exist in the Ninth Heaven Domain.”

Qing Qianxue’s eyes widened. She stood rooted to the spot, her mind blank. After a long silence, she finally spoke, her voice trembling. “This...is this really true?”

Everything felt unreal. First, she had encountered Lin Xun in the deepest reaches of the mine and escaped death. Then she witnessed the complete annihilation of the Eternal Divine Yang Clan’s forces stationed on Star Forbidden Mountain.

Now, beneath the cover of night, as she gazed upon the majestic Vast Sun Sacred Mountain before her, she heard Lin Xun calmly speak of the calamity that had befallen the Yang Clan...

How could she possibly accept such a reality all at once? She dared not believe it!

Lin Xun offered no further explanation. Whether she believed it now or not did not matter. In time, the truth would speak for itself. His figure rose into the air, and with a grasp from afar...Whoosh!

The Divine Rank law that shrouded Vast Sacred Mountain was forcibly drawn in and seized. Then, he drew a deep breath and unleashed his cultivation without restraint. Instantly, strands of Eternal Law surged from his body like divine chains, weaving together into a vast, sky-shrouding net that enveloped the entire mountain.

A rain of radiant light poured down, illuminating the night sky in sacred resplendent brilliance. Moments later—Boom!

The earth trembled violently. The entire Vast Sun Sacred Mountain shook, then tore free from the ground, slowly rising into the air.

Qing Qianxue snapped her head up. Within her sight stood Lin Xun’s towering figure, radiant with divine light, like a supreme god descending upon the mortal world. As his hands formed seals, the colossal mountain that was vast as a continent began to shrink ceaselessly. In just a few breaths, it was reduced to the size of a fist and settled into Lin Xun’s palm.

The sight struck Qing Qianxue to her very soul. It was a scene she would never forget for the rest of her life. At the same time, Lin Xun swept his gaze across the land and spoke, his voice calm yet absolute, “From this day forward, the Eternal Divine Yang Clan no longer exists!”

His voice spread outward like ripples through the void, rolling across heaven and earth and echoing to the distant horizon. Along its path, it startled countless beings residing throughout the boundless land.

Only then did Qing Qianxue truly believe it. The Eternal Divine Yang Clan had indeed met its end! Tears spilled uncontrollably from her eyes as memories surged forth...her father’s brutal murder, and her clansmen dragged away and enslaved as miners in Star Forbidden Mountain. Her delicate body trembled violently with emotion.

“Little girl, I’m leaving now. From now on, do not tell anyone that you know me. Otherwise, you may bring mortal disaster upon yourself. Remember this.” In the void, Lin Xun stored Vast Sun Sacred Mountain and spoke with a faint smile.

“Senior, will I ever see you again?” Qing Qianxue asked softly, looking up.

“That depends on fate.” Lin Xun smiled faintly. His figure stepped through the air, then vanished into the boundless night.

“Senior, please take care!” Qing Qianxue murmured, gazing at the place where he had disappeared.

Many years later, after Qing Qianxue herself had attained eternity, she would often recall the scenes she had witnessed that day...the peerless divine power Lin Xun had displayed so casually, and each time, an uncontrollable surge of admiration would well up in her heart.

......

That very night, the boundless territory once ruled by the Eternal Divine Yang Clan was plunged into chaos. Countless forces were shaken to their core.

The Eternal Divine Yang Clan has been erased from existence?!

In an instant, waves of experts set out at full speed, converging on Vast Sun Sacred Mountain. Then, an unbelievable scene revealed itself...

The vast land lay empty. Vast Sun Sacred Mountain was gone without a trace!

“How is this possible....? After the battle, Vast Sun Sacred Mountain still stood, and the Vast Sun Law was still intact. How could everything vanish overnight?”

Countless onlookers stood dumbfounded, their minds reeling.

“Has the Eternal Divine Yang Clan truly been annihilated?”

Many felt their bodies tremble uncontrollably, their minds thrown into chaos. They simply could not believe it.

After all, the might of the Yang Clan had long been etched deep into the hearts of all living beings. No one could believe that such a colossal existence would collapse so abruptly in a single night. It was utterly inconceivable!

When this news spread outward and reached the major forces across the vast territory, it was as though a violent storm had been unleashed.

“Quickly! Spread the word! The Eternal Divine Yang Clan has met with disaster!”

Some were so excited they were on the verge of madness.

“Heavens...is the world itself about to change? That’s an Eternal Divine Clan! It’s said to be eternal and unshakeable...how could this possibly happen...”

Some stood dazed and hollow, unable to comprehend how such a thing could have happened.

“Who could have done this?”

Others were struck with fear, their hearts pounding as they struggled to imagine what kind of existence could wipe out the Eternal Divine Yang Clan in a single night.

“Hahahaha! The Yang Clan’s retribution has finally arrived! Everyone, it’s time for revenge!”

Others were ecstatic, nearly mad with joy.

That night, the boundless territory once ruled by the Yang Clan plunged into turmoil and uproar. Beneath the cover of darkness, countless undercurrents surged. It was easy to foresee what would follow. As news of the Yang Clan’s destruction spread like wildfire, storm after storm would inevitably erupt.

In addition, the Yang Clan members scattered across the world were destined to meet grim fates. Of course, this turmoil was only the beginning. The fall of an Eternal Divine Clan would have consequences far beyond a single region. It would shake the entire Ninth Heaven Domain and even the structure of the Eternal True Realm itself!

Calling it a ‘change of the heavens’ was no exaggeration!

On the very night the news began to spread, Lin Xun had already departed via an ancient teleportation array, setting off for the Eternal Divine Ji Clan.
