“Master, this calamity is just too overwhelming. I’m feeling a bit uneasy,” Mo Tianxiao admitted nervously. So far, he had no idea how the cultivators of the Xuanhuang Realm could possibly survive this tribulation.
Even if there were ten quasi-Emperor powerhouses among the invaders, Mo Tianxiao believed that the top forces of Xuanhuang Realm might still have a fighting chance if they united. But with over a hundred quasi-Emperor powerhouses and nearly a thousand Saint Realm warriors, how could they possibly weather this storm?
Yue Liuli’s figure came to a halt. The guiding light could no longer pull her forward. She gently removed a mortal sword from her waist, her gaze fixed on the thousand-strong Shamo Clan.
“There really are too many of them. I admit I didn’t consider this carefully enough,” she said.
Several Emperor Realm cultivators who hadn’t yet left the Xuanhuang Realm noticed Yue Liuli’s movement and were momentarily stunned.
“Sister Liuli, there’s only one chance to strike. If you can pierce through their treasures, I’m confident we can wipe out some of their cultivators!” Su Muyao’s figure rose higher. According to previous circumstances, before leaving the Xuanhuang Realm, they still had one last opportunity to make a move.
If they could shatter the Shamo Clan’s treasures, they might still have a chance to eliminate part of the invaders for the Xuanhuang Realm.
From three other directions, Feng Chenfeng, Guixu Jin, and Zhou Wang of the Great Zhou Dynasty had also yet to ascend.
“Fellow Daoist Yue, Daoist Su is right. The treasures they hold are probably high-grade Emperor artifacts, or maybe even top-tier Emperor artifacts. Among us, only you have the strength to possibly break through their defenses.
If we seize the right moment, it’s not impossible to slay them!”
Everyone present did not want their loved ones to be oppressed by these alien invaders. Naturally, they hoped to kill as many as possible before their ascension.
“Hahaha! The Emperor artifacts you speak of are probably just ordinary treasures, right? Although the Xuanhuang Realm is far stronger than other worlds, your vision is still limited.
This jade disk of mine is a terrestrial law supreme treasure. Even within the Shamo Clan, it counts as a treasured heirloom. You’ve barely stepped onto the path of Dao, yet you dare to speak so arrogantly?”
The Shamo clan leader sneered with disdain. To ensure absolute certainty, the clan had brought out all their treasured supreme artifacts, prepared to counter the ancient techniques left behind from the Xuanhuang Realm’s primeval era.
Hearing this, the expressions of those present changed. Though they didn’t know exactly what a terrestrial law supreme treasure was, from the tone, it seemed to be a treasure above Emperor artifacts.
“Enough noise.”
Yue Liuli’s eyes lowered slightly. Her wrist turned gently, and the sword in her hand slowly sliced through the air at an incredibly slow pace, without the slightest ripple of Saint energy or any trace of the laws.
Yet, with this tiny movement, it was as if time itself froze. The entire world fell into absolute stillness.
Everyone present—several Emperor Realm cultivators, the Shamo Clan members, and even Mo Tianxiao and other cultivators thousands of miles away in the Xuanhuang Realm—felt an indescribable, elusive aura.
It was as if their bodies were no longer under their control. Only their thoughts remained, while everything else was completely immobilized.
In the next moment, a sword light descended from the heavens, like a blade cutting through cloth, tearing the Shamo Clan’s treasured terrestrial law supreme artifact into pieces.
Boom——!!
The hum of the sword’s roar echoed relentlessly, shaking the Xuanhuang Realm to its core. Everyone felt a sudden jolt in their hearts, as if the very laws of Heaven had let out a mournful wail, and the world itself trembled.
This sword was unlike anything of the mortal realm. With absolute overwhelming force, it shattered all matter in its path. The entire sky, once densely packed with over a thousand members of the Shamo Clan, was now reduced to a mere handful—only forty or fifty remained. Among them, just eleven were quasi-Emperor level warriors.
The leader, who had previously held the supreme treasure, had survived by sheer luck, positioned at the most defensible spot.
Yet now, he stood frozen, drenched in cold sweat streaming down like raindrops, unable to move a muscle. His entire being was engulfed by endless terror, and he dared not even draw a breath.
Impossible!
How could the Xuanhuang Realm possibly harbor such an existence?
This was the Earth Law Supreme Treasure! Even the Shamo Clan’s strongest warriors, exerting their full power, could never shatter it outright!
A mere Xuanhuang Realm, a world without even a single cultivator who had stepped into the cosmos—how could such a being exist here?!
At this moment, it wasn’t just the Shamo Clan’s Young Lord who was terrified. Even if the clan’s patriarch were present, he would surely soil himself in fear.
The firmament was permanently torn open by sword energy, leaving a wound on the Xuanhuang Realm that would never heal.
Several quasi-Emperors’ pupils dilated wildly, waves of shock crashing in their hearts. Before they could react, the power of the Heavenly Dao forcibly expelled them, leaving no trace behind.
Yue Liuli slowly sheathed her sword, gently lifting her head. Her gaze pierced through the Xuanhuang Realm, staring into the cosmic starry sky beyond. At the end of the great path, atop the summit of the heavens, her brow furrowed slightly as she murmured, “Even at this level, they can notice?”
“Xiao Mozi, I’ll leave first. These are for you to practice with.”
With that, Yue Liuli’s figure transformed into a streak of light, shooting straight into the Feathered Ascension Gate. In the next moment, the gate closed tightly.
Silence filled the air.
“Gurgle.”
“...Can someone tell me what just happened?”
“I want to know — is it still possible to join the Demon Sect now? Just to clarify, I’m from the Supreme Dao Sect. I’m willing to abandon darkness and embrace the light.”
“Damn! The Xuanhuang Realm actually has such a powerhouse! Before this, I had no idea at all!?”
“Is this the strength of the Demon Sect’s last sect leader? No wonder he was hailed as the Xuanhuang Realm’s number one quasi-Emperor!”
If it weren’t for the terrifying sword path pressure radiating from that horrifying rift high above the sky, everyone might have thought they were dreaming.
Even Mo Tianxiao stood stunned, his previous worries instantly swept away.
Eleven quasi-Emperors and over thirty Saint Realm warriors—this enemy force was a disaster for the Xuanhuang Realm, but Mo Tianxiao believed that the psychological shadow cast by these forty-plus warriors would engulf the entire realm.
At least for the time being, these foes would dare not make any bold moves.
“Senior Brother! Master... she’s so strong!” Nangong Wan snapped out of her shock, her voice filled with disbelief.
Knowing your master is strong and witnessing your master’s strength were two entirely different experiences.
“Mo Tianxiao, I have a goal now. I want to become a sword cultivator like Senior Yue!” Su Muxue’s eyes gleamed brightly as she stared fixedly at the sword scar, unable to forget it for a long time.
This was the swordsmanship she had been desperately seeking.
If only I had known how powerful Senior Yue was, I would have sought her guidance much earlier.
Many cultivators were undoubtedly shocked by the overwhelming strength of the newly appointed sect leader of the Demon Sect, but the ones truly left speechless were all the old-timers present.
Especially someone like Xuan Xiaotian, an ancient being who had lived for an unfathomable length of time, a living relic who had witnessed genuine Emperor-level masters. After personally experiencing Yue Liuli’s might, he was struck by a profound, indescribable awe.
Even the true Emperor-level experts had never encountered someone so powerful. With a single sword, she shattered a supreme treasure and effortlessly slaughtered over a hundred quasi-Emperor strongholds along with hundreds of Saint Realm cultivators.
After a long silence, Xuan Xiaotian sighed deeply, “The Ascension Tribulation is truly nothing to her...”
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)

He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
