Immortal of the Ages

Many spectators in the Million Starlight Palace were also in somewhat of a daze.

The Southern Divine Dragon Realm had previously topped the rankings in the last Grand Assembly of Myriad Sects. This newest generation was the strongest yet, but Yun Xiao had completely decimated them!

Now, the concern wasn't just about losing the top spot. They might vanish from the Grand Assembly Rankings completely!

"This kid's still going? What's his endgame here?"

The elders in the Heavenly Deity Stellar River region were glaring at the screen with venomous looks, their hearts burning with rage as they watched Yun Xiao carrying out his unbridled slaughter.

THUD! THUD! THUD! Heads flew, blood rained down like a deluge, and spirits entered the cycle of reincarnation!

Slay, loot, refine, and exorcize… Yun Xiao's slaying of the enemy was methodical, leaving the dead as nothing but hollow husks.

The battlefield in the Extreme Yin Star had become a living purgatory!

Screams of agony, wails of despair, cries of pain, pleas for mercy, curses, and threats filled the air incessantly.

Beheading Sword, Heart-Piercing Sword, Chicken-Slicing Sword, Arm-Severing Sword, Dantian-Destroying Sword, Throat-Piercing Sword… Each strike was divinely precise.

A whirlwind of azure and violet fury swept through like the gates of the underworld, enveloping each once-confident prodigy, dragging them into the abyss of hell.

Yun Xiao’s rampage was not indiscriminate slaughter. His brutal methods incited extreme fear, subduing the minds of those around him.

For example, Bai Ao had seemed to become a fanatical follower of Yun Xiao. Without even realizing it, he had joined in on the slaughter, lost in the heat of the moment.

Even if they didn't outright participate in the slaughter, many of Yun Xiao's followers still had to help restrain the fleeing enemy, allowing him to deliver the finishing blows.

"Your deaths here will serve as a warning that those who covet the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm will be shown no mercy! They can choose to ignore it for now, but they'll see when the time comes!"

Yun Xiao wasn't just killing; he was looting and securing resources for his future breakthroughs. These prodigies, whether in terms of bloodline, Seed of Creation, or wealth, matched their more established elders.

So, this massacre was all gain and no loss for him!

Killing five with one stroke showed his power! Butchering 1,000 prodigies demonstrated his cruelty! The former would intimidate his peers; the latter truly frightened the common folk!

The message was clear. No one who sided with the Southern Divine Dragon Realm was safe! He would kill all of them without mercy!

After failing to pressure the Ice Cloud Valkyrie Queen, the elders turned their attention back to what was happening on the Extreme Yin Star. What they saw was a grim painting!

One by one, the geniuses of the Alliance Army—amidst their curses, fear, wailing, and kneeling pleas for mercy—were left only as frozen, desiccated corpses.

All of them died miserably in the grip of terror! None of them thought Yun Xiao would dare to kill them. They had thrown insults, laughed, and even threatened him until his sword sent their heads flying. Only then did they realize their folly.

But by then, it was too late.

The Alliance Army cried and howled in terror, scattering pitifully.

In their own sects, they were regarded as unrivaled geniuses and pillars of the future...

Here, they were nothing but panicked, screeching wild chickens, each felled by Yun Xiao’s sword—sometimes singly, sometimes in groups!

With each stroke, Yun Xiao extracted their value, leaving nothing behind.

Many had collapsed into despair, crying and soiling themselves. Some were so frightened they died on the spot, their spirits shrieking as they departed.

Their gruesome ends were a vivid testament to the fact that they had never truly faced a ruthless foe.

In this sealed arena, devoid of the protection of their elders, their mortality was magnified manyfold. All the gloss and glamor of their backgrounds faded before the uncaring blade of death.

It was just the slain who were frightened! Bai Lu, Gusu Yan, Ah Jiao, the Bloodvine Young Masters, and others stood frozen with pale expressions, as if that azure blade hovered over their own necks.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

None of them dared to look up, trembling in fear.

Zu Wei, Mu Zhilu, Mu Zixiao, and the other disciples were even more tense. Many clung together, tears streaming down their faces, as whimpers escaped their lips involuntarily.

Outside the Extreme Yin Star, Long Hao and Long Kun were initially seething with rage, believing Yun Xiao's actions would spell doom for the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm.

However, the more they watched, the more unsettled they became, retreating far away to safety.

Zhao Canglan and the other disciples from the Elysian Immortal Palace felt their scalps tingle, grateful they were intercepted by Yun Xiao and not part of the force attacking the Extreme Yin Star.

As for Shen Nanyin, Shi Feifei, and the other new recruits, they were the most frenzied in the slaughter. Drenched in blood, fanatical adoration filled their eyes as they looked at that youth in white. They were fervent enough to forsake their own lives, willing to follow him anywhere.

This was the charm of a conqueror!

Once hearts were won over, die-hard followers were born!

Killing wasn't the point; it was about who the blade was pointed at!

In the Heavenly Deity Stellar River, no one else but Yun Xiao could make 1,000 geniuses turn tail, fleeing in horror!

As the end approached, the screams gradually died down.

Only increasingly labored breathing remained!

The Million Starlight Palace echoed this atmosphere.

Across the entire Extreme Yin Star Barrier, aside from the howl of the raging blizzard, only utter silence reigned!

The Alliance Army had been completely wiped out!

A force of over 1,500 people, including disciples from the Dragon Devil Clan and three Heavenly Deity Alliance sects, had all been slain without fail!

Indeed, not one survived! This was true despair! All perished right here!

Looking at the frozen corpses littering the landscape, their faces still contorted in terror, one could only imagine the agony.

For the captives remaining on the Extreme Yin Star, how excruciating must their torment be?

Bai Lu, Zu Wei, Zhao Canglan, and those with them were all ashen-faced, daring only to exchange looks, too terrified to utter a word.

Every one of them felt numb all over! They dared not even twitch! Their gazes stealthily shifted between two directions.

To the left, the youth in white looked as if he had returned from a spring outing, a smile playing on his lips as he sorted, categorized, and collected treasures from each Bag of Holding, smiling as he tidied.

To the right lay a vast sea of blood! This was the blood from over 1,000 Alliance Army geniuses! Not a drop was wasted! All of it was collected in this blood sea.

Unseen by none, at the deepest part of the blood sea, the seductive figure of a female devil swam like a blood-red dragon.

Without a doubt, she was cultivating.

"Yao Yao gets hurt, and he drains the blood of over 1,000 geniuses to help her recover…"

Hai Qing and her sisters exchanged looks, a storm brewing in their hearts.

"It’s so touching!" Hai Ying sobbed.

"Touch your heart, this isn’t a love story, it’s a ghost story for our foes…" Hai Mo covered her forehead.

"I don’t care, I ship it! It’s so purely romantic! They must be truly devoted to each other, a real heaven-sent couple!" Hai Ying hummed.

Upon hearing this, Yun Xiao couldn’t help but sneeze, feeling a tad embarrassed.

After all, just half a day ago, he had ambushed one of their revered Divas, sending her soaring with the dragons, from which she had not yet recovered.

And now they were shipping his pure love?

He quickly shifted his focus and finished gathering the valuables.

It was a great harvest! Apart from Burying Heaven grade Calamity Sources, Yun Xiao needed nothing else for the time being, not even Supreme Immortal Jades, of which he had countless.

Blue Star and Red Moon were reeling with joy.

"It’s perfect, beans to eat and milk to drink!" Red Moon said, drunk with joy.

"You idiot, haven't you learned by now? All the milk is for Yun Xiao!" Blue Star rolled his eyes.

"Yun… Yun Xiao." Zu Wei, having recovered a bit from her soul control, was now more awake.

The more lucid she became, the more her heart raced!

Her spirit had already knelt before Yun Xiao. Now, looking at the young man, she felt an indescribable emotion, a sense of being conquered, present in her as well, though not as intense as Shen Nan Yin’s.

Her voice trembling, she asked, "You've already defeated the Southern Divine Dragon Realm. In the Heavenly Deity Stellar River region of the Grand Assembly Arena, no one can stand against you. With you, the Extreme Yin Star could easily enter the top ten of the Grand Assembly rankings... Now that the mission is complete, could you, perhaps, set us free...?"

Her words echoed the thoughts of the 1,500 captives, and at that moment, all eyes were anxiously fixed on Yun Xiao, their emotions varied.

"What do you mean, mission complete? Do you even know what mission I've set for myself?" Yun Xiao replied curtly to Zu Wei.

His stern demeanor immediately frightened Zu Wei into lowering her head, like a chastened maidservant, as she stammered, "Please, what is it then?"

Yun Xiao scanned the crowd and declared bluntly, "I want the Grand Assembly Rankings of the Heavenly Deity Stellar River to list only one faction, Carefree Wind Clouds!"

"What do you mean by that..." Zu Wei gasped in shock.

"It's simple!" Yun Xiao's voice intensified, "I want to plant the Child Flags of the Extreme Yin Star on every Taiyi Sourcecore throughout the Heavenly Deity Stellar Region! Not a single one should be missed!"

After saying this, Yun Xiao muttered, "If the Grand Assembly Arena weren't divided into 18 regions, I'd take all 10,000 Taiyi Sourcecores!"

"Uh..."

The captives, upon hearing Yun Xiao's bold proclamation, fell silent.

Had they heard such words before, they would have laughed loudly. But now, who would dare to scoff?

The Southern Divine Dragon Realm had been annihilated!

And as for the Elysian Immortal Palace, one was crippled, the other captured, and the rest subdued!

On the Ancestral Land's side… Zu Wei wasn't the strongest. Her brother and sister-in-law were in the Fifth Baptism Realm, and could put up somewhat of a fight. But what was the point?

Of the other three Heavenly Deity Alliance sects, all of them were already wiped out?

How many other Heavenly Deity Alliance sects remained?

After a careful count, it was clear that even if all the remaining ones united, they would be no match for Yun Xiao's Carefree Windy Clouds!

It didn't matter that the Extreme Yin Star wasn't on the rankings. After this battle, that would change in the blink of an eye!

"Sigh..."

Everyone knew that now no one could stop Yun Xiao from creating the most explosive miracle in the history of the Grand Assembly of Myriad Sects and leaving the most significant mark in the annals of history.

"All of you, listen up!" Yun Xiao's cold shout jolted everyone to attention.

"Yes!" The 1,500 captives instinctively roared back, a hint of fervor in their voices.

Yun Xiao commanded in a deep tone, "Come take my Extreme Yin Child Flag, immediately return to your respective Taiyi Sourcecores, and replace your Parent Flags with mine! Afterwards, represent Carefree Windy Clouds and conquer the entire Heavenly Deity Stellar River region! Within three days, I want every Taiyi Sourcecore in this region to fly our flag!"
