Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

On the Eighth Summit, Shen Ran was in the secret room.

At this moment, the secret room was filled with an extremely dense aura and a little sticky aura, such that Shen Ran’s figure almost could not be seen.

Moreover, these auras were like a vortex that was quickly surging towards a point.

And that point was where Shen Ran was.

Although these auras looked very dense, Shen Ran was like a bottomless pit, crazily absorbing them.

In the blink of an eye, the secret room became empty.

Looking at Shen Ran again, the extreme qi that filled his body was many times more intense than before.

Shen Ran slowly opened his eyes and clenched his fists.

Sensing the changes in his body, a surging power swelled within his body. Pure Dharmic powers flowed in his body, making him feel very comfortable.

Sensing the change in his body, Shen Ran couldn’t help but grin. After a month of serious cultivation, I’ve finally broken through to the sixth level of the Illumination Realm.

A month had passed in the secret room.

In the past month, Shen Ran had been in seclusion. After taking some pills and cultivating for a long time, he successfully broke through to the sixth level of the Illumination Realm.

Suddenly, Shen Ran’s eyes lit up. He thought of the opportunity to modify the system reward three times a month.

He immediately chose to use it once.

This time, he used the system to modify and activate the Supreme Bones.

At the moment of use, in a twinkling, a dry and hot sensation came from his chest.

This heat was not even this intense when he had just refined the Heavenly Fire. It even made Shen Ran feel that he could not persevere in it anymore.

On his chest, a golden luster slowly bloomed.

At first, the luster that bloomed was just a little bit, but as time passed, this golden light became even brighter.

The entire secret room was filled with endless light a moment later.

At the same time, above the Eighth Summit, waves of strange phenomena filled the air.

“Thud!”

A morning bell and evening drum instantly exploded in the horizon.

In an instant, this sound swept through the entire Empyrean Sword Sect and spread throughout the entire Southern Region.

It was also because of this loud sound that countless people looked in the direction of the Empyrean Sword Sect.

In the sky above the Empyrean Sword Sect, a vast sea filled the sky.

The sea churned as if it wanted to devour the sky.

The most terrifying thing was that under this rolling sea, a full moon slowly rose.

The full moon rose into the sky and reached the position of the brilliant sun.

The moon rose from the Sea of Bitterness, and the strange phenomenon hung high in the sky.

As soon as this phenomenon appeared, all the old freaks in the Southern Region were instantly shocked.

And this seemed to be just the beginning.

The moment the full moon was level with the sun, a loud bang sounded again.

In the horizon, countless people saw a green lotus rising from the ground.

The green lotus expanded in the blink of an eye and instantly stood in the horizon like a divine tree that reached to the sky and the netherworld.

Supreme divine light scattered down from above. This endless divine light shone, causing countless people’s eyes to hurt.

And this green lotus actually grew till it was between the full moon and the sun.

When the three things gathered, the horizon sank into endless phenomena.

The rolling phenomena shocked countless people to the extreme again.

When the sky was filled with strange phenomena, the Heavenly Demon Sect was there.

“Bong!!!”

In the main hall of the Heavenly Demon Sect stood a tall figure covered in a black robe.

The figure stood on the spot, but an extremely terrifying pressure was constantly released, making Xu Qingshan and the others in the hall not even dare to breathe.

Although his face was covered by a black robe, his eagle-like eyes were staring angrily at Xu Qingshan.

He was the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Ye Canglan.

“Xu Qingshan, you really don’t disappoint me!!”

As soon as Ye Canglan came out of seclusion, he learned that Xu Qingshan and the others had returned from the Fallen Phoenix Hill Mystic Realm defeated.

Not only did they lose countless disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect, but even the Blood Gourd was destroyed. This made Ye Canglan, who had just come out of seclusion, almost lose his realm after hearing the entire news. He was so angry that he could vomit blood.

It was fine for the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect, but that Blood Gourd was a king-level Dharma treasure. It was specially brought by Gu Shujue to snatch the Heavenly Flame.

It would have been fine if he had obtained the Heavenly Flame, but now, not only did he not obtain the Heavenly Flame, the Blood Gourd had even been destroyed. How could he not be angry?

At the end of the main hall, Xu Qingshan did not even dare to breathe in the face of his anger. However, he knew what he would do if he did not speak, so he could only brace himself and say, “Sect Master, the Dao Seed of the Empyrean Sword Sect this time is indeed extraordinary. We have underestimated him.”

Ye Canglan snorted coldly, his deep eyes filled with a hint of death.

The moment he felt this wisp of death qi, Xu Qingshan trembled violently and his face turned pale.

“Sect Master, I…”

Xu Qingshan was about to beg for mercy.

“Azure.”

Two words sounded from above the Heavenly Demon Sect.

When the voice sounded, everyone in the Heavenly Demon Sect trembled. This voice was very old, but it seemed to have a magical power that made everyone look over.

Even Ye Canglan’s eyes narrowed.

Without any hesitation, he did not get on to punish Xu Qingshan and the rest, but left the hall in a flash.

The moment he left the hall and was in midair, he instantly saw the strange phenomenon in the direction of the Empyrean Sword Sect.

When he saw the strange phenomenon that filled the sky, Ye Canglan’s face became solemn.

It was also because of this that he knew why the Old Ancestor had called him over.

When Ye Canglan headed to the source of the sound, another loud bang came from the sky.

“Thud!”

The Sea of Bitterness gave birth to a bright moon and a lotus in the Azure sky. Under the eternal blue sky, a giant appeared.

The giant held a huge axe in his hand, as if he wanted to hack at this world and everything in it.

The primordial and eternal aura soared crazily at this moment. With the Empyrean Sword Sect as the center, it crazily spread to every corner of the sky above the Southern Region.

Seeing this scene, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect trembled. His eyes were filled with fear.

“The Sea of Bitterness gives birth to a bright moon, a lotus in the Azure sky, and a giant opens the heaven and earth. What kind of phenomenon is this!”
