Annihilating the Invading Enemy, the Power of the First Transformation Law!

Lu Yuan's gaze swept over the cultivators from the three sects below, who were already terrified out of their wits.

"Since you're here, stay."

He waved his sleeve.

A vast, deep blue torrent, like the Milky Way pouring out from behind the heavens, swept out.

That was a level of water law, containing the power to annihilate all life.

Where the torrent passed.

True Monarch Chi Lian, True Monarch Tai Xu, and dozens of Golden Core elders, along with thousands of Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining disciples.

No one could withstand it in the slightest.

They felt no pain as their bodies decomposed in the torrent of laws, transforming into the purest spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which then nourished the land.

In just a few breaths.

The once bustling and noisy area outside the mountain gate has become deathly silent.

Only one lonely figure remained standing there.

Heavenly Fire True Lord.

His body was stiff, and his clothes were already soaked with cold sweat.

He looked at the empty void around him, at the place where his two fellow cultivators had disappeared, and all that remained in his eyes was endless fear and regret.

He doesn't want to die.

But he knew that his life or death now rested entirely on the other party's decision.

Lu Yuan slowly turned his head, his gaze falling on the sole survivor.

That look in his eyes was so calm it was unsettling.

"Burning Flame Valley".

Lu Yuan spoke calmly.

"They were once allies of my Qingyun Sect."

Upon hearing these four words, the taut strings of Heavenly Fire True Monarch snapped instantly.

He could no longer care about the dignity of a Nascent Soul True Monarch; his knees buckled, and he knelt down in the void.

In the void, there was a deathly silence.

The once arrogant and domineering Lord of Burning Flame Valley, True Monarch Heavenly Fire, now knelt at Lu Yuan's feet like a stray dog, trembling all over, with no dignity left in him as a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Lu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at him indifferently.

"Considering the difficulty of your cultivation and the fact that you did not truly attack my Qingyun Sect, I will give you a chance to live."

Upon hearing this, True Lord Tianhuo felt as if he had been granted a pardon and kowtowed frantically: "Thank you for sparing my life, Venerable One. I am willing to surrender and serve you like a slave, with no other intentions whatsoever."

"Words are no proof."

Lu Yuan raised his hand, and a rune shimmering with pure yang golden light condensed at his fingertips. Within that rune was the power of divine sense laws unique to the Nascent Soul Realm, complex and profound, exuding an irresistible pressure.

"Release your spirit."

Looking at the golden rune, Heavenly Fire True Monarch felt a sense of despair.

He knew that once this mark was placed on his head, his life and death would be completely in the hands of others, and he would never be able to turn his life around.

But between life and death, he had no choice.

He trembled as he released the defenses of his consciousness.

With a flash of golden light, the divine imprint instantly entered his brow and took deep root in the depths of his nascent soul.

"Greetings, Master." True Monarch Tianhuo's face was ashen as he respectfully lowered his head.

Lu Yuan remained calm and didn't even glance at him. Instead, he turned his head to look in the direction of the back mountain of Changsheng Peak.

"Blue dragon."

"The little demon is here."

The Azure Dragon King immediately transformed into human form and rushed forward with a fawning expression. Its awe of Lu Yuan at this moment was like a surging river; if it had a tail, it would probably be wagging it to the heavens by now.

"You and Tianhuo, proceed immediately to Tianjian Mountain and Beast King Valley." Lu Yuan's voice was cold and chilling, carrying a murderous aura. "Eliminate all the remnants of these two major sects, eradicate them completely. Bring all the resources from their treasuries back to Qingyun Sect. If you lose even a single spirit stone, I will hold you accountable."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Rest assured, Master, this little demon will definitely scrape three feet off the land of those two sects."

The human and the demon accepted the order without hesitation, transforming into two streaks of light and speeding away into the distance.

They were eager to impress their master and dared not slack off in the slightest.

With the external enemies gone, the gloom that had hung over the Qingyun Sect completely dissipated.

Only now did the thousands of Qingyun Sect elders and disciples below, who had been stunned, finally come to their senses.

As they gazed at the godlike figure in the sky, their eyes blazed with unprecedented fervor and worship.

"Ancestor... Ancestor has advanced to the Nascent Soul stage."

"Heaven blesses Qingyun, our ancestor's divine might is unparalleled, annihilating four Nascent Soul True Monarchs in a single battle. From this day forward, in the cultivation world of Zhao Kingdom, only Qingyun reigns supreme."

"Greetings, Ancestor of the Nascent Soul Realm."

Qi Yunhe, Gu Qingxiao, and other Golden Core elders were moved to tears and trembled with excitement.

They were the first to kneel down and perform the highest level of respect.

Immediately afterwards, all the disciples of the Qingyun Sect knelt down, their cries of congratulations resounding through the heavens and shaking the mountains and rivers.

Lu Yuan nodded slightly, said nothing more, and with a flicker of his figure, disappeared into the void and returned to Changsheng Peak.

Inside the cave.

Lu Yuan sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion and began to take stock of the gains from this battle.

Two magical artifacts radiating powerful spiritual energy floated in front of him.

They are the Heavenly Demon Banner and the Azure Heaven and Yellow Springs Sword, respectively.

These two low-grade spiritual treasures were undamaged in the previous battle because their owner had died too quickly, and they ended up in his hands intact.

Besides the spiritual treasure, there are also the storage bags of the Myriad Beasts True Lord and the Heavenly Sword True Lord.

Lu Yuan's divine sense swept over it, and he couldn't help but be slightly moved.

As expected of the head of a sect, his wealth is astonishing.

There are hundreds of thousands of high-grade spirit stones alone, and countless rare pills and refining materials.

He found an ancient-looking cyan jade slip in the storage bag of the Heavenly Sword True Monarch.

As I probed into it with my divine sense, a sharp sword intent rushed towards me.

The Great Void Dividing Light Sword.

This is a high-grade Heaven-rank sword technique.

When cultivated to its fullest potential, it can differentiate into countless sword energies and shadows, creating a symbiotic relationship between reality and illusion, making it impossible to defend against—truly a profound and mysterious art.

"Excellent swordsmanship," Lu Yuan exclaimed.

Although he did not specialize in swordsmanship, this supernatural ability was of extremely high quality, which was also beneficial to his ability to learn by analogy.

After sorting through his gains, Lu Yuan closed his eyes and began to carefully experience the changes he had undergone after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.

As he switched to cultivating the "Great Five Elements Chaos Technique," the magical power within his body underwent a qualitative leap.

The five elements circulate endlessly within his Purple Palace.

Within his five internal organs, five majestic illusory images of Dharma forms faintly coalesced, which were the supreme divine powers inherent in the immortal-grade cultivation techniques—the Five Emperors Great Demon Divine Power.

These five supernatural powers are the Azure Emperor Wood Sovereign Skill, the Crimson Emperor Fire Sovereign Qi, the White Emperor Golden Sovereign Slash, the Yellow Emperor Earth Sovereign Dao, and the Black Emperor Water Sovereign Fist.

The images of the Five Emperors were initially formed, though still blurry. Lu Yuan could sense that once these five divine powers were fully developed, the combined power of the Five Emperors would be enough to suppress all enemies in the world.

"It's time to see Qingxue."

Lu Yuan had a thought and transmitted his voice through divine sense.

Before long, the stone door to the cave opened.

Gu Qingxue moved gracefully and walked in.

She was not wearing the sect leader's robes today, but instead wore a light purple flowing gauze dress.

The light and thin fabric of the dress clung to her graceful figure, perfectly outlining her exquisite curves.

She did not tie her hair up; her long, black hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, reaching her waist.

A few strands of hair fell over her snow-white collarbone, the contrast between black and white creating a breathtaking beauty.
