"These old relics are the true enemies of the Holy Dragon Sect. Once we eliminate them, the Holy Dragon Mystical Realm will truly be under our control."

Chu Fengmian spoke coldly and resolutely.

Seven half-step celestial realm experts—an impressive number indeed. But this time, Chu Fengmian was well prepared.

The Heavenly Star River is the foremost weapon to deal with them.

Moreover, since stepping into the realm of the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor, Chu Fengmian had yet to truly unleash his full potential. This was the opportune moment to test the extent of his strength.

"Let’s go, we’re heading in."

On the other side, those ancient relics of the Holy Dragon Mystical Realm, seeing no abnormalities with the Heavenly Star River, stepped directly into it.

Witnessing this scene, a cold smile appeared at the corners of Chu Fengmian’s mouth.

As all the ancient relics of the Holy Dragon Mystical Realm entered the Heavenly Star River, the scenery before them suddenly spun wildly.

In the blink of an eye, the passage to the Holy Dragon Mystical Realm could vanish.

The power of the Heavenly Star River transformed into tidal waves, surging towards all those ancient relics.

"Not good! Form an array!"

As the surroundings abruptly changed, the Law Emperor was the first to react, invoking a massive Yin Yang array map from his being.

All the ancient relics of the Holy Dragon Mystical Realm leapt into the array map, turning into its formations and injecting spiritual power to ward off the assaults of the Heavenly Star River.

The tidal force formed by the Heavenly Star River couldn’t break through the defense of this array map.

"These old guys hold some impressive stuff."

With a glance, Chu Fengmian identified the array map as a high-quality spiritual artifact of the heavenly level, extremely ancient, most likely crafted in a long-lost era.

However, no matter how high-quality a spiritual artifact is, once it comes into Chu Fengmian’s possession, it becomes nourishment for the Divine Tree.

"Didn’t expect the Heavenly Star River to be under someone’s control. Chu Fengmian, will you not reveal yourself?" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Having withstood the assaults of the Heavenly Star River, the Sect Master of the Holy Institute Sect, Ling Shan, shouted aloud.

A silhouette appeared before everyone.

The silhouette was none other than Chu Fengmian.

From the beginning, Chu Fengmian had no intention to remain hidden. After all, merely relying on the Heavenly Star River to deal with seven half-step celestial realm experts and dozens of Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperors would not suffice.

Chu Fengmian had to take action himself.

Qing Meng also revealed herself, standing beside Chu Fengmian, coldly eyeing everyone present.

"Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor?"

Upon seeing Chu Fengmian appear, everyone assessed his realm, each showing a hint of surprise in their eyes.

They had assumed that mastering the Heavenly Star River meant Chu Fengmian had at least achieved a half-step celestial realm.

Yet unexpectedly, Chu Fengmian was merely at the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor realm.

This realization loosened their tense hearts, prompting disdainful and dismissive glances directed at Chu Fengmian.

Chu Fengmian, being only a Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor, had merely encountered some fortunate events, thus mastering the Heavenly Star River. Such strength was unimpressive before the seven half-step celestial realm experts.

"Who would’ve thought that during our seclusion, the Holy Dragon Sect would produce an anomaly capable of destroying the Hall of Justice, flattening the Sword Enlightenment Hall, Ten Thousand Dragon Hall, and now even assaulting the Four Sects? Such actions have never been attempted in tens of thousands of years in the Holy Dragon Mystical Realm."

"Young one, rigidity invites disaster. At your young age, such arrogance is likely not a boon."

The Great Elder of the Holy Institute Sect, Elder Wang, scrutinized Chu Fengmian.

He was curious to see what kind of person had caused such chaos in the Holy Dragon Mystical Realm.

Elder Wang’s tone when speaking to Chu Fengmian resembled lecturing a junior, as though watching a young one creating mischief.

Seeing Chu Fengmian’s realm was merely that of a Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor, Elder Wang felt no need to take him seriously.

"The Hall of Justice, Sword Enlightenment Hall, and Ten Thousand Dragon Hall were destroyed due to their own shortcomings."

Detecting the disdain in Elder Wang’s words, Chu Fengmian coldly retorted.

"Moreover, you might not know, but the Holy Institute Sect and Six Extremes Sect have also been wiped out. You all might consider joining the Holy Dragon Sect."

"Boy, you destroyed the Six Extremes Sect?"

Upon hearing this, an angry roar emerged—the voice of Han Sheng, Sect Master of the Six Extremes Sect.

"What’s the matter? Do you not believe it?"

Chu Fengmian turned to Han Sheng, waved his hand, and suddenly a mass of light emerged—the Spiritual Spring from beneath the Six Extremes Sect.

Seeing the Spiritual Spring, Han Sheng’s gaze turned icy cold, revealing boundless killing intent.

By capturing the Spiritual Spring of the Six Extremes Sect, Chu Fengmian proved its destruction.

This cut-from-the-root effect meant that even if Han Sheng killed Chu Fengmian, it wouldn’t change the fate of the Six Extremes Sect.

"Little beast! I’ll kill you!"

Witnessing the Spiritual Spring, Han Sheng could no longer contain his rage and attacked fiercely. As he struck, a surge of destructive power appeared in the sky.

"Six Extremes Divine Fist!"

The destructive power gathered into Han Sheng’s fist, with the strength to annihilate everything under heaven.

The Six Extremes Sect’s most formidable martial technique, the Six Extremes Divine Fist, eradicates all.

Boom!

The moment the Six Extremes Divine Fist was unleashed, the Heavenly Star River trembled, seemingly on the verge of being torn apart. Its formidable power instantly enshrouded Chu Fengmian, directed towards him.

This heaven-shattering punch demonstrated the terrifying might of a half-step celestial realm expert.

A half-step celestial realm expert, if descended upon a continent like the Ancient Demon Continent, could destroy it entirely in a single day.

Such is the half-step celestial realm, entirely distinct from the realm of the Emperor.

As the Six Extremes Divine Fist struck, it targeted not only Chu Fengmian but also enveloped Qing Meng, aiming to annihilate them both with a single blow.

Feeling the overwhelming destructive force, Qing Meng’s expression changed dramatically, sensing limitless pressure.

Yet, Chu Fengmian remained utterly relaxed.

The formidable destructive force seemed incapable of exerting any pressure on Chu Fengmian.

As the Six Extremes Divine Fist was about to land, Chu Fengmian moved, his right hand suddenly striking out across the void.

An intangible dragon claw formed and swept through the air.

Boom!

The moment the intangible dragon claw swept through, the Six Extremes Divine Fist was torn apart in mid-air, its contained destructive force instantly dispersed.

This is the power of Chu Fengmian now, engaging a half-step celestial realm expert head-on, without being inferior, even able to seize the upper hand.

Having torn apart the Six Extremes Divine Fist, the intangible dragon claw further swept fiercely toward Han Sheng.
