“Who?!”
Everyone in the hall was startled. They all turned toward the voice, an ominous premonition rising in their hearts.
A figure in spotless white robes slowly entered the hall. It was Ye Chentian. An overwhelming pressure that made the soul tremble radiated from him, and every step he took seemed to land directly upon their hearts.
His thoughts remained utterly calm.
Myriad Thunder Valley? So what if it is one of the Great Qian Dynasty’s supreme powers? If you dare provoke me, I will settle accounts with you as well today.
“Ye Chentian!”
The instant Purple Firmament Cang saw him, his pupils contracted violently. Terror instantly flooded his face as though he had seen a ghost, and his legs went weak, nearly collapsing beneath him.
How dare Ye Chentian come here of his own accord? Did he not know that Myriad Thunder Valley was one of the Great Qian Dynasty’s supreme powers?
He was insane! He had to be insane!
Thunder Thousand Severance raised an eyebrow, a trace of ferocity flashing through his eyes.
So this is Ye Chentian? He certainly has some bearing. What a pity that he is far too arrogant.
“You are Ye Chentian? You dared kill people from the Purple Firmament Sacred Land. You have quite a lot of nerve!”
He sneered inwardly.
What a fool courting death. Does he truly think that because he could run rampant through the Purple Firmament Sacred Land, he can challenge Myriad Thunder Valley as well? Today, I will teach him that the majesty of the Great Qian Dynasty’s supreme powers is not something he can offend!
Ye Chentian could not be bothered to waste words with them. His gaze swept across everyone present as though he were looking upon a group of doomed men. His voice was cold as frost.
“Since your Purple Firmament Sacred Land dared invade my Profound Heaven Sect, today I will destroy every one of you!”
His murderous intent was already settled.
It did not matter what supreme power they belonged to. Anyone who stood in his way would die!
“Arrogant!”
Thunder Thousand Severance roared. Thunder surged around his body, arcs of lightning snapping loudly as the pillars and beams of the entire hall began to tremble.
“Since you have delivered yourself to my doorstep, do not blame me for showing you no mercy!”
“You dare insult Myriad Thunder Valley as well? It seems I will have to teach you exactly how formidable the Great Qian Dynasty’s supreme powers are! Today, you will experience the might of Myriad Thunder Valley’s Purple Lightning Illuminates the Heavens Art!”
“Disciples of Myriad Thunder Valley, attack with me and cut down this arrogant wretch!”
“Yes!”
The few disciples of Myriad Thunder Valley answered in unison. Bloodlust gleamed in their eyes as lightning flickered around their bodies.
That brat actually dared provoke Myriad Thunder Valley. He was truly courting death! This was the perfect opportunity to let the people of Lingwu Kingdom witness the fate of those who offended Myriad Thunder Valley!
Seeing this, Purple Firmament Cang gritted his teeth and issued an order as though he had thrown caution to the wind.
“Disciples of the Purple Firmament Sacred Land, attack with me and avenge our fallen brethren!”
He had only one thought in his mind.
With the aid of Myriad Thunder Valley, Ye Chentian, your death is at hand!
In an instant, countless bolts of Purple Firmament Divine Lightning intertwined with the thunder of Myriad Thunder Valley, forming a colossal net of lightning that descended upon Ye Chentian with an aura of annihilation.
The Purple Firmament Divine Lightning was weaker, but it made up for that with its density. The thunder of Myriad Thunder Valley, on the other hand, was fierce and domineering, imbued with the might of a supreme cultivation art of the Great Qian Dynasty. Together, the two forces caused even space itself to ripple.
The entire Sacred Lord’s Hall was swallowed by violent lightning.
The surrounding disciples watched in terror.
“My heavens! The thunder of Myriad Thunder Valley is terrifying! With power like that, it could probably kill a Fusion Realm expert with ease!”
“No matter how powerful Ye Chentian is, he cannot possibly withstand the lightning of these two great powers!”

“As expected of the Great Qian Dynasty’s supreme powers. Their presence is truly extraordinary!”
Ye Chentian’s gaze sharpened. The Purple Lightning Heavenly Dragon Sword in his hand suddenly erupted with dazzling radiance. All seventy-two lightning-drawing runes upon the blade lit up at once, releasing an ancient and mysterious aura.
“Unfortunately, your understanding of the lightning path is still far too shallow before me!”
“Void-Shattering Sword Art: Thunder Prison!”
With a low shout, Ye Chentian swung his sword. Countless purple sword auras condensed into form, transforming into a colossal prison of thunder. Carrying the might to devour all things, it swallowed every bolt of lightning rushing toward him.
“What?”
Thunder Thousand Severance’s expression changed drastically, disbelief flashing through his eyes as if he had just been struck full in the face.
How could this be? He could control thunder as well—and his power was even purer and more domineering than the cultivation art of Myriad Thunder Valley!
The aura of this Thunder Prison clearly indicated that he had refined the power of thunder and made it his own! Myriad Thunder Valley had inherited its legacy for a thousand years, yet only the Valley Master could accomplish such a feat. How could a mere young man possibly—
“Break for me!”
Thunder Thousand Severance let out a furious roar and formed seals with both hands. The power of thunder surged wildly around him, almost condensing into substance before transforming into a purple dragon of lightning several yards long.
This was Myriad Thunder Valley’s famed divine ability, the Purple Lightning Dragon Illuminates the Heavens. It required a century-old thunder marrow as a catalyst to cultivate, and its power was enough to slay a sixth-level Fusion Realm cultivator.
The lightning dragon roared as it charged toward Ye Chentian.
“I refuse to believe it! This is one of my ultimate techniques. I spent ten years of thunder cultivation on it. Let me see how you withstand it! The reputation of Myriad Thunder Valley must not be ruined!”
A cold smile tugged at the corner of Ye Chentian’s lips. He pointed the Purple Lightning Heavenly Dragon Sword directly at the lightning dragon.
“A mere speck of dust dares compete with the sun and moon?”
“Heaven-Burning Imperial Flame!”
With a low shout, Ye Chentian frantically circulated the Divine Flame Heavenly Art. Golden-red flames suddenly surged from his fingertips, transforming in an instant into a colossal dragon of fire stretching for thousands of yards!
Its scales were formed from violet-gold flames. Its whiskers carried heat capable of burning the heavens and destroying the earth, while the eyes of the dragon blazed with the majesty of an Immortal Emperor.
This was no ordinary fire technique. It was a killing art fused with the origin energy of ten thousand paths.
Before his voice had even faded, the fire dragon crashed into the lightning dragon like a starving wolf pouncing upon its prey. Golden flames instantly devoured the purple lightning dragon’s scales. Thunder sizzled and melted within the blaze, and even the dragon’s roar was burned hoarse.
Amid the collision of the two forces, the Sacred Lord’s Hall collapsed with a thunderous boom. As rubble flew in every direction, Thunder Thousand Severance’s lightning dragon was torn to pieces by the fire dragon!
Thunder Thousand Severance’s pupils contracted sharply.
“Impossible! How can your flames be so powerful?”
Horrified beyond measure, he hurriedly summoned a Dark Thunder Iron Shield, attempting to resist the fire dragon’s assault.
The moment the magical treasure—refined from materials found in Myriad Thunder Valley’s forbidden grounds—raised a shield of radiant lightning runes, the fire dragon bit it to pieces!
“Pff!”
The fire dragon pierced through the shield and swept Thunder Thousand Severance into the flames.

The spiritual energy barrier of a seventh-level Fusion Realm expert was no more than paper before the Heaven-Burning Imperial Flame. After three breaths, it was reduced entirely to ashes, leaving behind only a wisp of smoke that was scattered by the waves of heat.
One move!
An elder of Myriad Thunder Valley at the seventh level of the Fusion Realm had been swallowed by the fire dragon in a single attack. He had not even had time to escape with his Nascent Soul!
The surrounding disciples of the Purple Firmament Sacred Land were frightened out of their wits. Some collapsed to the ground, their teeth chattering.
“O-One move… He killed Elder Thunder with one move? That was a seventh-level Fusion Realm expert!”
“What kind of flame is that? It is a fiend capable of devouring gods and demons!”
The cultivators of the Purple Firmament Sacred Land, including Purple Firmament Cang, were caught in the shockwave of that tremendous force and were instantly hurled away. Blood sprayed from their mouths, and their auras grew feeble.
Despair filled Purple Firmament Cang’s heart.
It was over. Even Myriad Thunder Valley’s famed divine ability could do nothing against him. We truly have no hope left! Could even an elder of one of the Great Qian Dynasty’s supreme powers not withstand him?
“It is over… Everything is over… Even an elder of a supreme power has lost. In this world, who could possibly stop Ye Chentian?”
Ye Chentian slowly approached him. His eyes were cold and utterly devoid of emotion.
“The Purple Firmament Sacred Land ends today!”
Before his words had faded, the golden-red flames he swept forth with a raised hand had already spread across the mountain like a prairie fire, engulfing the entire peak in an instant.
The golden-red flames swallowed Purple Firmament Cang.
The once-arrogant Lord of the Purple Firmament Sacred Land was not even granted the remains of ash.
At the foot of the mountain, the distant cultivators who had been watching were already scared out of their wits. Some collapsed to the ground, trembling fingers pointing toward the sea of fire.
“It is all… all gone… The Purple Firmament Sacred Land has… vanished just like that?”
“That was a sect with a thousand years of heritage! Ye Chentian burned it so completely that not even its foundations remain!”
Ye Chentian stood at the center of the sea of fire, his white robes snapping in the waves of heat, yet not a single flame touched him. He gazed upon the Purple Firmament Sacred Land, now reduced entirely to scorched earth, as the flames at his fingertips quietly faded.
From the moment he entered the mountain gate to the complete destruction of the sacred land, not even the time needed to burn a stick of incense had passed.
Ye Chentian turned and departed through the air. Behind him, the sea of fire continued to burn, staining half the sky red as though proclaiming to every power in the Eastern Region:
Those who dare oppose the Profound Heaven Sect need look no further than the Purple Firmament Sacred Land.
From that day onward, the Purple Firmament Sacred Land no longer existed in the Eastern Region.
And the name Ye Chentian became an object of awe and dread that no cultivator dared mention lightly.
