"This servant receives your decree! I shall execute the Supreme Elder's orders at once!" Emperor Jiama replied with a trembling voice. Without wasting a single second, he and the imperial elders instantly shot down toward the earth.Within minutes, every corner of the Jiama Empire's Capital was filled with the sound of emergency horns and the shouts of soldiers. Waves of millions of citizens and low-level practitioners began to move in a panic, packing whatever scant belongings they had, before swarming the city gates to evacuate to the safe border regions according to the decree of the central sect's fairy goddess.Above the skies, which were slowly clearing of human presence, only the Supreme Elder and her younger sister, Yao Yue, remained. The autumn wind blew fiercely, fluttering their silk robes."An exceptionally powerful Heavenly Flame? Why didn't information like this passively spread across the Central Continent's sect news, or even be hunted down by the Ancient Clans?" she m

Wuuush...Just as Yao Lian's frustrated murmur faded into the air, the ripples of the golden geometric formation before her suddenly ceased to pulse. An unnatural silence instantly choked the atmosphere across the entire region of the Jiama Empire's ruins.Meanwhile, deep within the isolated dimension, the cosmic energy ripples that had previously been stable suddenly began to churn violently. The walls of the small space cracked, emitting lines of spatial distortion light that signaled the impending destruction of the dimension.Alex, standing tall in the midst of that void, calmly glanced around. The gaze in his fiery eyes showed not a single shred of panic."This minor world has reached its limit after accommodating my breakthrough process to the Peak Earth God Stage," Alex murmured softly. His black robe fluttered lazily, defying the gravitational pressure of the collapsing dimension. "It is time to leave. Judging by the time, I may have cultivated for more than three years..."Wi

WUUUUUUNG! The remnants of the purple energy in the air continued to crackle softly, yet the once suffocating and oppressive atmosphere had now turned into a tense, heavy silence. Yao Lian stared intently at the youth kneeling before her. Her chest heaved, her heart pounding violently from the intense inner turmoil. Even though her soul perception had detected nothing but a single, pure soul earlier, she still clenched both of her fists tightly. 'No... I cannot be so easily deceived!' her mind screamed in denial. "Slaying an ancient entity? You?!" Yao Lian's voice raised, filled with a deep skepticism to maintain her initial suspicion. "From what I can see, you are currently nothing but a practitioner at the Earth Deity realm! Three years ago? Do you think I've been waiting here without receiving a single report about you? That parasitic entity was an ancient, monstrous existence that even the core elders of the Divine Wind Sect struggled to suppress! How could a mere ant lik

Alex, who in his hidden identity went by the name Wei Zhong, merely nodded obediently without uttering a single word. He fully utilized the mountain-like weight of the Shackle of the Nine Heaven Gates to make his body appear frail, acting completely dependent on the protection of Yao Lian’s purplish aura.With a firm step, Yao Lian strode into the turbulent spatial rift, followed by Alex, who dragged his feet with a deliberately panting breath. As soon as their bodies were entirely swallowed by the darkness of the dimensional fissure, the spatial rift above the ruins of the Jiama Empire quickly sealed shut once more, leaving behind an absolute nightly silence.Inside the spatial tunnel, the dimensional storm raged violently, flashing silver lightning bolts capable of instantly obliterating an ordinary cultivator. However, Yao Lian’s God King realm aura formed a sturdy, impenetrable shield, isolating Alex from the tearing laws of nature. Throughout the journey, which took several hours

Amidst the deafening storm of mocking laughter from Mo Ran and his followers, Alex remained standing tall. Slowly, his head, which had initially hung limp, began to lift. The corner of his lips twitched, forming a deeply cold, casual smile."Continuously pretending is indeed quite pathetic..."Kretak! Kretak!To everyone’s surprise, Alex began to roll his shoulders left and right, stretching his neck until a crisp sound of bones popping echoed. His facial expression, which had just been deathly pale and covered in a sweat of pretense, transformed in the blink of an eye into one of absolute calm and indifference. His golden eyes locked sharply onto the crowd of inner disciples before him, completely devoid of the fear expected from a crippled cultivator.In reality, the Shackle of the Nine Heaven Gates encircling his body did suppress his elemental energy and Divine Soul to their deepest depths. Yet for someone like Alex, the pure physical strength he possessed—backed by a formidable f
