n

n

n“Come back.” Xiao Ran made a grab in the air.

n

nUnder his control, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth condensed into a huge golden hand that grabbed at him in a tyrannical fashion.

n

nIt spanned across hundreds of feet and locked him in its grasp.

n

n“Break!” The veins on Xuan Guang’s forehead bulged as he struggled hard to circulate his skills.

n

nDemonic energy surged and rolled, trying to break away from the golden hand.

n

nHowever, he had overestimated his abilities. He was merely at Level 1 of the Profound Realm. By Xiao Ran’s standard he was nothing.

n

nPow!

n

nXiao Ran smashed him violently onto the ground.

n

nThe huge force and the impact sent rocks and debris flying everywhere. The avalanche of debris also took away the remaining disciples of the Heavenly Yin Sect in one wave.

n

nWhile Xuan Guang was also smashed hundreds of feet into the ground, he was still not dead, left with barely one breath.

n

nIt could only be said that the will to live in Profound Realm warriors was very tenacious.

n

nAs Xuan Guang was dragged up and flung onto the ground above, he begged fearfully, “Don’t kill me!”

n

n“Letting a person like you live in this world will only be a waste of food,” Xiao Ran said.

n

n“No! I’m willing to tell you everything about the Heavenly Yin Sect.”

n

n“There’s no need. I’ll make a trip to the Heavenly Yin Sect personally.”

n

nWith a bolt of lightning, he struck and killed him.

n

nThe Golden Tome of Creation flipped open to a page and displayed three items: 900,000 Mastery points, 90 years of Martial Arts Evolution, and 90 years of soul evolution.

n

nHe added the 900,000 Mastery points to the Spirit Shifting Soul Control Technique.

n

nAfter the attributes were refreshed,

n

nSpirit Shifting Soul Control Technique: Minor Achievement.

n

nHe was 330 years away from breaking through to Level 6 of the Profound Realm in his Martial Arts Evolution.

n

nIn terms of Spiritual Master Evolution, he was still 140 years away from breaking through to Level 4 of the Earth Realm.

n

nHe walked to the Multitudinous Poison Tree.

n

nUnder the destructive force of the Apotropaic Divine Lightning, the Multitudinous Poison Tree and the skeleton below were turned to ashes.

n

nHe took one look at it and then turned away.

n

nHe looked at the atmosphere of Ning County that was saturated with the poisonous gas. Even with the destruction of the Multitudinous Poison Tree, the poisonous gas would not dissipate in a short period of time.

n

n“Break!” Xiao Ran shouted.

n

nImmense Righteous Energy surged into the sky, radiating outwards from his body and charging in all directions.

n

nWherever it passed, golden light rippled outwards.

n

nConfronted by the righteous and saintly Immense Righteous Energy, the poisonous gas that remained in the sky above Ning County turned into dark green smoke and dissipated.

n

nA few minutes later,

n

nXiao Ran withdrew his Immense Righteous Energy. The poisonous gas in Ning County had been dispelled.

n

nHe carried Ling Qing’er out and found a clean room. He placed her on the bed.

n

nPlacing his right hand on her chest, the purifying spiritual force surged out of his palm and entered her body, healing her.

n

nA while later,

n

nby the time Xiao Ran retracted his palm, her face had already regained some color.

n

nHer breathing was even, and her injuries had healed by more than half.

n

nHe took out a grain of Stars Sand.

n

n“Spawning Soldiers from Beans!”

n

nAs he activated his spiritual skill, the Star Sand in his hand swayed in the wind and turned into a golden-armored figure almost 7 feet tall on the spot, holding a spear.

n

n“With it guarding this place, ordinary Profound Realm experts may not be its match,” Xiao Ran mused.

n

nAfter leaving the room,

n

nhe found some water and soaked the special antidote pill in it. He gathered all the commoners in Ning County and fed them the antidote forcefully.

n

nLess than an hour later,

n

nsome of the civilians who had taken the antidote woke up.

n

nAfter taking a final look, Xiao Ran left.

n

nHe turned into a beam of golden light and shot into the clouds towards the Heavenly Yin Sect.

n

nThe Heavenly Yin Sect’s lair was at Heavenly Yin Mountain, which was just behind Chen County, less than a hundred miles away.

n

nWhen Xiao Ran arrived there,

n

nthe Heavenly Yin Sect’s Mountain Protection Formation had already been activated. Demonic energy soared into the sky and enveloped the entire Heavenly Yin Mountain.

n

nIt seemed that they already knew what happened in Ning County.

n

nStanding high up in the heavens,

n

nXiao Ran looked at everything below with a stony countenance. His five fingers formed a fist that shone with golden light. An overpowering force converged on his fist. “Six Domains of Holy Dungeon’s Fist!”

n

nThe fist light tore through the air and transformed into a holy dungeon.

n

nIt pressed down on everything and blasted through the Mountain Protection Formation of the Heavenly Yin Sect.

n

nUnable to withstand the destructive power from above, the formation lasted only a few breaths before it was broken.

n

nWHOOSH!

n

nA massive shockwave swept out in all directions.

n

nEverywhere it passed, every single building it touched was destroyed.

n

nHowever, that was just the beginning.

n

nXiao Ran took out three grains of Stars Sand and deployed the Spawning Soldiers from Beans technique again.

n

nThe spiritual skill that had reached Genesis level was very powerful. As the golden light spun, 3 golden-armored figures appeared on the ground.

n

nWith the Stars Sand as the foundation, they had tremendous strength. Their supreme strength and their defensive ability were astonishing.

n

n“Deal with all of them,” Xiao Ran commanded.

n

nThe 3 golden-armored figures rushed out, brandishing their spears like a huge dragon, attacking the surrounding Heavenly Yin Sect disciples.

n

nOne by one, they cut off their escape routes.

n

nSuddenly, a terrifying aura rose from the back mountain of the Heavenly Yin Sect, and a furious roar swept over in a terrifying air wave.

n

n“How dare you come to my Heavenly Yin Sect and wreak havoc? You’re courting death!”

n

nThe Sect Master of the Heavenly Yin Sect rushed out and strode across the sky. In a few flashes of movement, he arrived in front of Xiao Ran.

n

nThe group of senior members he brought with him worked together to kill the golden-armored figures.

n

nDespite their numbers, they were nothing compared to the golden-armored figures.

n

nAs soon as they started battling them, they were overpowered and received non-stop beating.

n

n“Are you from the Imperial Court?” the Heavenly Yin Sect Master asked with a frown.

n

nDemonic energy swirled around his body, covering him completely. Within a hundred feet from where he stood, there was thick concentration of demonic energy.

n

nAs soon as he spoke, the surrounding temperature dropped dozens of degrees.

n

n“What do you think?” Xiao Ran remained unmoved.

n

n“Did you destroy the Demon Lords Mystic Wither?”

n

n“Yes.”

n

n“Very well! Since you destroyed the Demon Lords Mystic Wither, you can use yourself to compensate us.” The Heavenly Yin Sect Master replied.

n

nA monstrous demonic might erupted skywards, followed by an even stronger demonic aura.

n

nThe area within a radius of a thousand feet was completely covered by demonic energy.

n

n“Ten Thousand Demons Heaven Devouring Skill!”

n

nDemonic light radiated, and a terrifying suction force issued from the ten thousand demonic auras, forcefully absorbing all the vitality of the surrounding living creatures.

n

nUnder his control, it rushed towards Xiao Ran in an overbearing manner to devour him.

n

n“You’re not worthy,” Xiao Ran said.

n

nWith a wave of his right hand, he deployed the Universal Phenomenon.

n

nRays of golden light appeared, and a sleeve that covered the sky swept past in a flash. Wherever it passed, all the unearthly manifestations vanished.

n

nOne breath later,

n

nthe demonic aura had disappeared, and so did the Sect Master of the Heavenly Yin Sect.

n

nIt was as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

n

nXiao Ran manipulated the Universal Phenomenon, utilizing the supreme crushing pressure to press down mercilessly on him.

n

nInside the space of the Universal Phenomenon, even if the Sect Master of the Heavenly Yin Sect was very strong and had developed his Ten Thousand Demons Heaven Devouring Skill to the Major Achievement stage, it was still not enough.

n

nHe was severely injured in an instant.

n

nWith a flick of his sleeve, Xiao Ran flung him to the ground.

n

n“You… you’re from the Supreme Pure Temple!” The Heavenly Yin Sect Master’s expression changed drastically.

n

n“You ask too many questions.” With that, Xiao Ran attacked once more.

n

nApotropaic Divine Lightning converged in his palm. Just as he was about to strike down and finish him off, the Sect Master shouted, “My Lord, help me!”

n

nXiao Ran became suspicious. There was someone else?

n

n“Trash! Useless scum. You can’t even accomplish such a trivial thing.” An icy voice could be heard coming from below.

n

nIn the next second,

n

nthe Heavenly Yin Mountain exploded, and rubble flew everywhere. Before they could reach Xiao Ran, they were completely destroyed by his protective golden light.

n

nA young man wearing a green robe stood in the air with his hands behind his back.

n

nHe looked at Xiao Ran mercilessly. “Release him!”

n

n“You think I will?” Xiao Ran asked scornfully.

n
