Fantasy: Unparalleled Prince, Conquering the Heavens!-Chapter 678 - 682: Sect Destruction_1

「Zixuan Sacred Ground!」

Located in a resource-rich Mini-World, nestled in the heart of human territory, it boasted excellent geographical advantages, thriving trade, and a vast population. These advantages had propelled it to become a leading force within the human race in a mere hundred million years.

Today was the day Zixuan Sacred Ground opened its gates to accept disciples. Before dawn, young Martial Artists from various worlds had already thronged the mountain gate. The air was filled with a deafening cacophony of voices, bustling with extraordinary excitement.

They gazed at the purple mountain ranges, eyes full of envy.

I must become a disciple of Zixuan Sacred Ground! Once I excel in my cultivation, I'll protect the human race!

Father! Mother! Once I become a disciple of the Sacred Ground, I will focus on cultivation and dice the demon who murdered you into a thousand pieces!

It's a pity my aptitude is relatively weak, so I can't enter the Sky Sword Pavilion. However, joining Zixuan Sacred Ground should be well within my reach!

As a leading power, Zixuan Sacred Ground held immense allure for Human Warriors, representing the lifelong ambition of countless individuals.

"Quiet!"

As the sun rose in the east, hundreds of Martial Artists in purple robes, treading on purple immortal clouds, flew out from within the mountain gate. Their bearing was otherworldly, like immortals among immortals.

"The recruitment ceremony begins now!" a peak True Immortal Realm elder, hands clasped behind his back, hovered high in the sky and announced in a resonant voice.

The young men and women who had come seeking tutelage immediately quieted down, lining up neatly, a mix of nervousness and anticipation in their hearts as they awaited the upcoming trials. In their eyes, this was a chance to change the destiny of their lives. And, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it indeed was.

I hope there will be a few good seeds this time!

Indeed! The "Grafting Great Method" is an excellent Cultivation Technique. By devouring just a thousand geniuses, it allowed this humble elder to elevate my lower-grade immortal aptitude to a higher-grade one!

KEKEKE...! After devouring a few more tens of prodigies, this old man will possess the aptitude of a prodigy and can attempt a breakthrough to become a peak Profound Immortal Realm Martial Artist!

While the recruitment was in full swing outside, within the Sacred Ground's forbidden area, five Martial Artists in black robes were discussing animatedly. These five were the Supreme Elders of Zixuan Sacred Ground. If any outsiders had been present, they would have been utterly shocked. This was because the cultivation of these five Supreme Elders was even higher than that of Zixuan's Sect Master, having reached the late stage of the Profound Immortal Realm, not the early stage known to the public.

"Strange, it's been so long. Why hasn't the Sect Master returned?" one of the Supreme Elders mused.

"Who cares about him? If not for the fear of arousing suspicion, this old man would have devoured him as well!" the Supreme Elder sitting beside him rasped, a chilling intent emanating from him.

"He is with the Bone Demon Army; he should be fine. We should focus on what cultivation resources to demand from the Sky Sword Pavilion after this recruitment ends!"

"Last time we demanded one immortal mine, so let's ask for two this time!"

"I think even two immortal mines are too few. In my opinion, the human race won't last much longer. We should demand more to ensure we don't lack resources when we break through to the peak of the Profound Immortal Realm!"

"Once the human race is annihilated, I will immediately embrace the demonic path! I've long grown tired of this wretched human shell!"

"The demonic path is Eternal!"

As the five conversed, dense Demonic Qi erupted from their bodies, transforming the entire forbidden area into a demonic domain. Within the Demonic Qi, the tormented souls of countless geniuses howled in agony.

The recruitment ceremony proceeded in an orderly manner; any geniuses encountered were immediately accepted into the sect.

Then, around noon, the world barrier of the Zixuan Mini-World was abruptly torn asunder. A terrifying rift appeared, from which boundless sword light surged, blanketing the vast earth. For a moment, the heavens trembled, and the earth quaked.

Within the sword light, dozens of imposing figures could be vaguely discerned. Clad in the attire of Sky Sword Pavilion disciples, they stood upon their swords, their gazes cold and filled with endless killing intent. However, a keen observer would notice an invincible spear intent amidst the ocean of Sword Qi, an intent that seemed to suppress the very heavens.

This... this is... the elders of Sky Sword Pavilion!

Looking at their expressions, it seems they've come with hostile intent!

Countless beings lifted their heads, observing the powerful figures suspended in the sky, and whispered amongst themselves.

"Seniors…" the elder presiding over the recruitment ceremony paled slightly, but his expression quickly returned to normal. He chuckled and flew into the sky, clasping his hands in greeting as he began to speak.

CLANG!

But before he could finish, a blindingly brilliant Sword Qi slashed him in two. Blood splattered, dyeing the vast Changkong red.

"Zixuan Sacred Ground has betrayed the human race and defected to the demonic path! Its Sect Master falsified information and plotted against the Great Elder, causing immense harm to humanity. By order, the sect is sentenced to annihilation!" The execution elder, holding a bloodied sword and his face saturated with Evil Qi, stepped forward. He gazed down upon the vast purple mountains and rivers, his voice devoid of any emotion as he spoke.

At his words, countless faces registered shock. Zixuan Sacred Ground had defected to the Extreme Demon Palace. This… It was simply inconceivable!

"Kill!" the leading Sword Holding Ancestor ordered coldly.

BOOM!

Immeasurable Sword Intent soared to the heavens. All the Sky Sword Pavilion elders struck simultaneously, coalescing a Sword Qi that covered a vast expanse, pressing down upon the purple mountains below. It was like a sea of swords descending upon the mortal realm.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Mountains crumbled, and myriad trees turned to ash. Over a million disciples of Zixuan Sacred Ground were pierced by countless swords before they could even react. Devastating Sword Intent rampaged through them, annihilating even their souls and leaving no path to Reincarnation.

In the blink of an eye, Zixuan Sacred Ground, renowned as one of the five foremost forces, was annihilated.

The purple mountains and rivers were reduced to scorched earth, a land of death. This was the consequence of betraying the human race.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Just then, from the blackened ruins, five streaks of black light shot out. They emanated a heaven-shaking Demonic Qi that billowed and roiled, obscuring the firmament, so dense that even the blazing sun could not penetrate. Upon appearing, these five showed no hesitation and immediately fled towards the edge of the world barrier. Their speed was so fast it caught everyone off guard.

"There are still remnants!"

"Demonic Qi!"

"Five late-stage Profound Immortal Martial Artists!"

The three Sword Holding Ancestors were momentarily startled but reacted first. Just as they prepared to strike and kill, they saw a blood-red spear pierce through heaven and earth, shattering the cosmos. An invincible intent swept down. All living beings in the world, including the three Sword Holding Ancestors, felt immense pressure.

Immediately after, a scene that horrified countless onlookers unfolded: the five fleeing late-stage Profound Immortal Martial Artists were skewered together by the war spear, impaled deep within the Void. Blood, dark as ink, dripped from the firmament, imbued with demonic principles.

"So powerful!"

"Another monstrous prodigy!"

"Besides the three monstrous prodigies mentioned by the Sect Master, the Qin Dynasty's Saint's Court has another one! This is too terrifying!"

The three Sword Holding Ancestors were dumbfounded. At the Profound Immortal Realm, the gap between each minor cultivation stage was immense, making it incredibly difficult to fight opponents of a higher rank. Yet Yang Zaixing, with his early-stage Profound Immortal Realm cultivation, had leaped two minor stages to slay five late-stage Profound Immortal Martial Artists in a single blow. It was simply too horrifying.

It wasn't just them; the dozens of Sky Sword Pavilion elders, the thousands of prodigies who had been preparing to join Zixuan Sacred Ground, and the myriad beings of the Zixuan Mini-World were all utterly aghast.

Everyone stared blankly at Yang Zaixing, as if gazing upon a deity.
