Fall of the Glass Sanctuary

At this moment, the aura that Little Black erupted with was much stronger than before.

That was an essential improvement, as if a slumbering immemorial fierce god had finally slightly opened a slit of its eyes!

"Not good!"

The Imperial Weapon Spirit let out a startled and urgent hum. From that erupting gloomy light, it felt a fatal crisis enough to threaten its origin!

It crazily urged the Glazed Pure World Lamp, burning the chaotic flames and the order divine dragons to the extreme, trying to make a final resistance.

However, it was too late!

"Crack... Boom!"

In front of that comprehensively improved absolute power, the chaotic flames blessed by the Imperial Array swayed violently like a candle in the wind, and then exploded with a bang!

Those chains of laws like order divine dragons were broken inch by inch, shattering into the most original light particles!

With an unstoppable momentum, the gloomy giant claw completely crushed the final defense line constructed by the Imperial Weapon Spirit, and solidly slapped on the main body of the radiant Glazed Pure World Lamp!

"Clang——!!!"

A sorrowful cry that shook the universe, as if a great bell had been smashed, rang out!

The Glazed Pure World Lamp shook violently, and the light of the lamp instantly dimmed. Under the unrivaled power of the gloomy giant claw, the indestructible glazed light curtain constructed jointly by it and the Ten Thousand Saints Chaozong Imperial Array let out an unbearable and ear-piercing sound of shattering!

"Crack——Boom!!!"

Like a mirror completely shattered, the peerless Imperial Array that had guarded the Glazed Holy Land for ten thousand years collapsed with a bang at this moment!

The phantoms of the ten thousand saints wailed and dissipated, and explosions occurred everywhere in the array base. The terrifying energy turbulence, like a runaway primordial fierce beast, instantly backfired and swept down!

"No——!"

"Quickly dodge!"

Screams and exclamations rose one after another.

Many disciples with lower cultivation bases had no time to react at all. Under the shock wave of the array base explosion and the out-of-control array energy, they instantly turned into flying ash, their forms and spirits destroyed!

What's more, they were swallowed by spatial rifts or torn to pieces by berserk spiritual energy.

The former Holy Land Pure Land had now become a Shura field. Between the ruined walls, there was a bloody mess, and cries of grief were everywhere.

The entire Holy Land shook, and the spiritual veins were chaotic, as if the end of the world had come.

Defeated, completely defeated!

Without the slightest power to resist!

The blurred figure of the Imperial Weapon Spirit shook violently, becoming almost transparent. Looking at the shattered grand array and the disciples below who instantly suffered heavy casualties, it let out a hum mixed with pain, anger, and disbelief, staring fixedly at Little Black.

"Your Excellency... Are you really going to do things to the absolute limit?!"

Its voice was no longer full of imperial prestige, but instead carried a trace of the shock and anger of a dead end and an imperceptible plea?

The Imperial Array had been broken, the gates of the Holy Land were wide open, there was no more barrier, and the disciples suffered heavy casualties.

If the other party insisted on making a move, the inheritance of the Glazed Holy Land might really face a great catastrophe today!

At this moment, all sounds were silent. Only the roar of the Holy Land collapsing, the wails of the dying, and the despairing questioning of the Imperial Weapon Spirit echoed in the air.

The figure of that gloomy fierce bird, like a demon god destroying the world, stood aloft in the sky above the Glazed Holy Land that had lost its protection and was flowing with rivers of blood, indifferently looking down at everything.

The hearts of all the higher-ups of the Glazed Holy Land, along with the shattering of the Imperial Array, the tragic deaths of the disciples, and the questioning of the Imperial Weapon Spirit, sank into a bottomless abyss together.

Despair, like a bone-chilling tide, submerged everyone's soul.

Facing the questioning of the Imperial Weapon Spirit with despair and pleading, there was no fluctuation in Little Black's deep pupils, only endless coldness.

It spoke indifferently, its voice like the cold wind of the Nine Netherworlds, scraping across everyone's heart.

"I want to destroy them because they deserve to die!"

The figure of the Imperial Weapon Spirit trembled violently. It could feel the unquestionable and resolute killing intent in Little Black's words, which was definitely not a bluff.

An ominous premonition bit its spiritual core like a poisonous snake.

It hurriedly transmitted a more urgent intention, even carrying a trace of compromise.

"Your Excellency! Hold on! Regardless of the reason, perhaps there is room for maneuver?

The resources and foundation accumulated by my Glazed Holy Land over hundreds of thousands of years can all be offered! All those who offended Your Excellency, no matter who they are, will be dealt with by you!

Leave a glimmer of hope for these innocent disciples of the whole sect! Is that possible?"

It tried to make a final deal to preserve the orthodoxy of Great Emperor Liuli.

However, Little Black was too lazy to explain to it.

"See for yourself."

As soon as the cold words fell, Little Black's heaven-supporting giant claw did not slap towards the crowd below, but slashed across the air towards the depths of the Glazed Holy Land, an area of the forbidden ground that was cleverly covered by layers of immortal light and auspiciousness but actually had the heaviest resentment!

"Sizzle——!"

Like tearing a beautiful picture scroll, the outer camouflage array burst like bubbles in the sun, revealing the sinister and evil restrictions hidden underneath, covered with bizarre blood-colored runes!

The aura of this array was out of tune with the majestic immortal aura of the Glazed Holy Land, full of blood and resentment!

But this layer of sinister and evil restriction was equally vulnerable in front of Little Black's claw edge, instantly collapsing!

The true scene inside the forbidden ground was completely exposed in broad daylight, exposed to all the spectators in the distance and the divine senses of those giants who spied across the void!

"Hiss——!"

In the next moment, countless sounds of gasping for cold air rang out from all directions!

Even the divine senses of those giants from various parties who were used to seeing strong winds and waves erupted with violent fluctuations!

What caught their eyes, where was some immortal secret realm?

It was clearly a bloody and cruel living hell!

Piles of white bones were stacked like mountains, and many of the skeletons were slender, obviously belonging to the young.

More living young men and women were confined in the blood-colored runes, as thin as firewood, with empty and despairing eyes. Their life essence and soul origin were being slowly extracted through bizarre means, merging into a huge blood pool in the center that was churning with viscous blood and soaring resentment!

At the edge of the blood pool, scattered were some broken clothing and magical artifacts with obvious marks of hostile forces, and even a few tokens belonging to the notorious Blood Fiend Sect that had not been dealt with in time!

The truth was presented bloody in front of everyone!

The so-called Glazed Pure Land actually did such inhumane deeds in secret!

The purgatory scene in the forbidden ground, like the sharpest thorn, viciously pierced into the eyes and hearts of all those who witnessed it!

After a brief dead silence, the spectators in the distance erupted with monstrous anger and contempt!

"Those array patterns, that blood pool seem to be the 'Myriad Spirits Blood Devouring Array' of the Blood Fiend Sect!"

An experienced old monster among the rogue cultivators was the first to speak out in horror, his voice trembling, "The Glazed Holy Land... They actually really..."

His words were like a stone thrown into a quiet lake, instantly stirring up a thousand layers of waves!

"So the rumors are true!"

The head of a large sect suddenly looked at his good friend beside him, his face full of lingering fear and shock and anger.

"Many years ago, I heard that certain elders of the Glazed Holy Land had secret contacts with the Blood Fiend Sect. At that time, I only thought it was a groundless rumor, thinking that someone was maliciously slandering them. I didn't expect that they had degenerated to this point!"

"More than just contact!"

An old woman beside him who knew more inside information added shrilly, her voice trembling with anger.

"I heard that their so-called quasi-Holy Son, Xue Wuhen, is the biological nephew of the Blood Fiend Sect's Master! This is ironclad proof of the Liuli Holy Land colluding with the demonic path!"

As soon as these words were spoken, it was earth-shattering!

"What?! That Xue Wuhen who was once suppressed in a cesspit is actually the nephew of the Blood Fiend Sect's Master?!"

"Hiss—now that you mention it, I remember! A hundred years ago, several small vassal states on the edge of the Eastern Region experienced massive population disappearances in succession. They disappeared without a trace, and the final investigations all pointed to the Misty Swamp, only to be left unsettled! And the Liuli Holy Land just happened to be nearby wiping out wandering bandits at that time..."

Someone brought up an old unsolved case, causing everyone to look sideways in shock, feeling a deep terror the more they thought about it.

More and more suspicious points, clues that were once covered up by the glorious image of the Liuli Holy Land, were now linked together in the face of these ironclad facts.

The slight sympathy they previously held for the Liuli Holy Land, and the minor complaints about Little Black's domineering actions, were instantly replaced by the anger of being massively deceived and made fools of!

This anger was even more blazing than pure hatred!

"Hypocrites! The shame of the righteous path!" Finally, someone could no longer hold back and let out an earth-shaking roar.

"What immortal Holy Land? It is basically a devil's den hiding filth and evil! Even worse than the demonic path!"

"Well destroyed! Such a toxic tumor should have been eradicated long ago! To prevent it from harming the common people!"

The voices were like a tide, and the crowd was inflamed with indignation.

The blurred figure of the Imperial Weapon Spirit was like being struck by lightning, shaking violently, almost scattering apart.

It looked at the purgatory-like scene, feeling the bloody resentment rising to the sky. A sense of pain and humiliation originating from its very core, stronger than being defeated by Little Black, overwhelmed its sentience.

A wave of unwillingness and a final trace of wishful thinking drove the Imperial Weapon Spirit's weak divine sense, like dying tentacles, to violently pierce into the depths of the sea of consciousness of the ashen-faced Holy Lord Li Wuya below, forcibly reading his memories!

The next moment, an even darker truth flooded into the perception of the Imperial Weapon Spirit.

It saw how Li Wuya and several core elders secretly colluded with the Blood Fiend Sect to set up this evil formation that devoured souls and stole essence.

Countless vibrant lives, especially those young boys and girls with pure spiritual roots and unspilled primal yin and yang, were abducted like livestock, having their life essence and soul origins extracted in extreme agony.

This massive vitality and pure soul power extracted were not merely used to elevate the cultivation of a few people like Li Wuya!

Rather, they used the purifying attributes within the Great Emperor Liuli's inherited cultivation techniques to secondarily extract the life blood energy, eliminating the resentment and impurities within it, and transforming it into a life-extending essence that was close to the origin!

The vast majority of these essences were actually transported to the past ancestors deep within the forbidden grounds, who had sealed themselves away as the final foundation of the Liuli Holy Land!

All the ancestors in the entire forbidden grounds were actually beneficiaries of this bloody feast!

They might not have been the direct planners and executors of these crimes, but they were absolutely aware of them and had silently consented!

They clearly perceived where the steady stream of vitality injected to nourish their rotting husks came from, but they chose silence and chose to accept it.

They relied on the lives of these countless innocents to extend their own decaying bodies and delay their decline!

The entire highest echelon of the Liuli Holy Land, from the contemporary Holy Lord to the slumbering ancestors, had long been rotten to the core from top to bottom!

The blurred figure of the Imperial Weapon Spirit was like being struck by lightning, shaking violently, almost scattering apart.

A sense of pain and humiliation originating from its very core, stronger than being defeated by Little Black, overwhelmed its sentience.

"How... how could it be... like this..."

It let out a hum that bordered on collapse, its convictions completely crumbling in this moment.

It finally understood why Little Black had said they deserve to die.

Guarding such a sect, what face did it, as the Imperial Weapon Spirit, have to call itself the inheritance of the Great Emperor?

The Liuli Holy Land's Holy Lord Li Wuya and the group of ancestors and elders were now ashen-faced, trembling like sieves, lacking even the strength to stand.

It was over, everything was over! Their greatest secret had been revealed to the public in the most cruel manner!

Just as the entire Liuli Holy Land fell into despair and various factions angrily denounced them, the dim-lit Liuli World-Purifying Lamp suspended in the air suddenly emitted bursts of sorrowful humming on its own.

The Imperial Weapon Spirit looked around at this land it had guarded for ten thousand years, which was now filled with sin.

A sigh filled with endless vicissitudes, sorrow, and disappointment seemed to cross through eons of time and space, resounding in everyone's heart:

"Alas..."

"My master, Great Emperor Liuli, once dominated an era, suppressing the turmoils of the forbidden zones, holding up a pure land for the human race. His glory shines through the ages, what a heroic figure he was..."

The Imperial Weapon Spirit's voice carried reminiscence and unparalleled glory, but it then turned into piercing agony.

"To think that his descendants would be so unbearable! Committing such demonic acts, disgracing the Great Emperor's illustrious name, and tarnishing the Dao of Liuli. Such sins cannot be redeemed even by ten thousand deaths!"

High in the sky, murderous intent was resolute in Little Black's cold pupils, clearly lacking the patience to continue waiting.

However, just as its destructive power was about to pour down once again, a sudden change occurred!

That Imperial Weapon Spirit, suspended in the air with dim light and a figure on the verge of dissipating, fiercely erupted with a final, unimaginable burst of light!

This light was not aimed at Little Black, but contained an extreme will of grief, indignation, resolve, and self-destruction!

"Great Emperor... I have failed your expectations, allowing your orthodox lineage to be sullied to this extent. Your crimes are unforgivable!"

The Imperial Weapon Spirit let out a weeping, blood-curdling hum. Its gaze fiercely locked onto the ashen-faced Holy Lord Li Wuya below, those core elders who participated, and those rotting auras that relied on bloody food to extend their lifespans!

"You lot do not deserve to bear the Great Emperor's name! You do not deserve to exist in this world!"

Before the voice faded, the Liuli World-Purifying Lamp vibrated violently. What poured out from the mouth of the lamp was no longer world-purifying radiant light, but transformed into countless extremely sharp Liuli divine swords containing fragments of the Great Emperor's laws!

These divine swords seemed to have eyes, carrying the monstrous anger and endless humiliation of the Imperial Weapon Spirit, instantly slashing towards the crowd!

"No! Imperial Weapon, spare our lives!"

Li Wuya was terrified to the extreme and tried to struggle, but under the coercion of the Imperial Weapon's wrathful strike, he, along with the core elders around him, could not put up even a trace of resistance.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

The dense sounds of sharp blades piercing flesh rang out, accompanied by the miserable howls of shattering primordial spirits.

Li Wuya and the others, along with their sin-corrupted souls, instantly had their bodies and spirits destroyed under these Liuli divine swords that coexisted with purification and judgment, turning into flying ash!

Having done all this, the light of the Liuli World-Purifying Lamp was completely restrained, becoming ancient and unadorned. It turned in Little Black's direction, transmitting a complex fluctuation of intent, there was resolve, and also a kind of relief: "Is this... enough?"

Little Black looked at it indifferently, the aura of destruction on its giant claws not dissipating, and responded with a cold intent.

"Not enough, I said that the Liuli Holy Land has no need to exist."

The icy declaration resounded through heaven and earth once again.

The next moment, the giant claw covered in gloomy dark scales, carrying the ultimate power to obliterate everything, slowly descended upon the main body of the Glazed Sacred Land below, which had lost its core and fallen into sheer chaos.

Its target was the palace complex stretching for ten thousand miles, the boiling source of the spirit veins, and the very foundation that bore ten thousand years of history and sin!

Rumble...

There was no deafening explosion, only a soul-trembling sound of absolute annihilation.

Wherever the sharp claws passed, save for the helpless youths trapped in the blood pools, all matter, energy, and even the lingering runes of the grand arrays were utterly erased.

Mountains, rivers, pavilions, and towers, everything that symbolized the glory and existence of the Glazed Sacred Land was completely wiped from the face of the earth beneath this single strike.

Four thousand words, two chapters combined into one.

I am not sure if there will be another chapter later; it depends on how things go tonight.
