Immortal-Exterminating Divine Venerable

’The Yang Family is so domineering; only the Supreme Elder can suppress them. I hope that after he kills Yang Xiao, he’ll come here.’

Although awestruck and shocked, just as Yang Xiao had surmised, a sliver of hope remained in the hearts of the Purple Sun Sect’s upper echelons.

That hope was the Supreme Elder.

Yang Xiao had killed two generations of the Ye Family.

He had practically wiped out the entire Ye Family line.

Faced with such a major event, the Supreme Elder, as the Ye Family’s ancestor, would absolutely not let it slide.

The very fact that he demanded Yang Xiao see him was a clear sign that this matter would not end well.

And if Yang Xiao were killed…

Yang Zhentian would definitely go berserk.

The Supreme Elder and the Sect Leader couldn’t have failed to consider this.

They would surely come to finish the job, to eliminate the problem at its source.

So, at this very moment, even though all these higher-ups were feigning weakness…

…not a single one believed the Yang Family could last for long.

Because they had offended the Sect’s number one expert: Supreme Elder Ye Dongcheng.

’Once the Supreme Elder arrives, it won’t matter how strong Yang Zhentian is. As for Yang Xiao, he’s probably already been killed by the Supreme Elder,’ Yann Xu thought.

His eyes couldn’t help but drift toward Celestial Yang Peak in the distance.

That was the Forbidden Land of the Purple Sun Sect and the residence of Supreme Elder Ye Dongcheng.

And at that very moment, Lin Nantian was leading Yang Xiao right to it.

”Yang Xiao, the Supreme Elder’s residence is just ahead. Would you like me to accompany you inside?” Lin Nantian asked, a smirk playing on his lips.

He pointed to a particularly ordinary-looking courtyard ahead, his eyes filled with mockery as he spoke.

With only the two of them present, there was no longer any need for pretense.

Yang Xiao glanced at him. ”Fine. You can follow.”

His flat tone wasn’t directed at a Sect Leader, but rather at a servant leading the way.

Killing intent flashed in Lin Nantian’s eyes for a moment, but he didn’t act.

There was no need.

With Supreme Elder Ye Dongcheng making a move, he didn’t have to lift a finger.

Besides, Yang Zhentian’s power was extraordinary.

Lin Nantian had no desire to face that madman directly.

”In that case, I shall bear witness to the meeting between you and the Supreme Elder,” Lin Nantian said with a faint smile.

Yang Xiao, however, had already strode forward, seemingly paying him no mind at all.

’Hmph. So arrogant. Let’s see how you get out of this!’ Lin Nantian snorted to himself and followed.

But Yang Xiao paid him no mind.

’On the surface, it’s true that Lin Nantian hasn’t personally offended me. But he indulged the Ye Family in their suppression of the Yang Family. I’m not a pushover. As a Sect Leader, the head of a major power, he can’t even maintain the most basic level of fairness and justice. Why would I ever respect someone like that? What’s more, despite my repeated provocations, he just swallowed his anger, and now he’s trying to use this Supreme Elder to deal with me. For an expert at the Martial Grandmaster Peak of Third Layer, he has absolutely no backbone. He’s a textbook hypocrite.’

Yang Xiao despised him.

Of course, he wouldn’t waste words on him.

And he certainly wouldn’t be polite.

”You’re the Supreme Elder of the Purple Sun Sect?”

Pushing the gate open, Yang Xiao strode directly into the courtyard.

He immediately saw an old man in a white robe seated under a large green tree. Before him was a stone table, and upon it, a chessboard.

Yet, there was only one player.

”So you are Yang Xiao? The junior who annihilated my Ye Family bloodline?” the white-robed old man asked faintly.

He didn’t so much as raise his eyelids, his face devoid of joy or sorrow.

He showed no expression whatsoever.

”That’s right. They wanted to kill me, so they all deserved to die,” Yang Xiao stated coldly.

Lin Nantian, who had followed them in, was shaken to the core when he heard this.

’This kid is truly arrogant. He isn’t reining it in at all, even in front of the Supreme Elder. He’s utterly unrestrained.’

’After all, even he, Lin Nantian—not to mention his master and his master’s master before him—had all held the position of Sect Leader of the Purple Sun Sect, yet they all treated the old man before them with the utmost reverence. Because he was just that strong. He was the very pillar of the Purple Sun Sect.’

”Then if this old man also wanted to kill you, would you wish death upon me as well?”

After a long silence, the white-robed old man finally spoke.

The moment he did, the aura around him surged violently.

It caused the very air to start to vibrate.

The Vibration grew more and more intense.

But Yang Xiao just smiled faintly. ”Only at the Martial Grandmaster Peak of Fourth Layer. Are you sure you want to fight me?”

’Only... the Martial Grandmaster Peak of Fourth Layer? He said ”only”?’

Lin Nantian was dumbfounded.

That was the Martial Grandmaster Peak of Fourth Layer!

One had to understand that after reaching the Martial Grandmaster realm, increasing one’s cultivation by a single layer was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. The gap between the Third and Fourth Layer, in particular, was like an insurmountable chasm.

Once that chasm was crossed, one’s power would soar.

Yet, in the entire two-hundred-year history of the Purple Sun Sect, only Ye Dongcheng had reached the Martial Grandmaster Peak of Fourth Layer.

Everyone else—including Lin Nantian, his master, and his master’s master—was stuck at the Martial Grandmaster Peak of Third Layer, unable to take another step.

And this kid had the nerve to say ”only.”

However, if Lin Nantian knew what Yang Xiao was capable of, he probably wouldn’t be so shocked.

The Martial Grandmaster Peak of Fourth Layer truly wasn’t a big deal.

It was weaker than a Tier Four Middle Grade Barbaric Beast.

Why would Yang Xiao fear him?

He didn’t even need to play any of his trump cards. He could defeat him with his Physical Strength alone.

Of course, in his normal state, he couldn’t win. His Physical Strength was, after all, only equivalent to that of three young Demon Flood Dragons.

The power of 3 Flood Dragons.

In contrast, an expert at the Martial Grandmaster Peak of Fourth Layer, unleashing their full power, could generate the force of roughly sixteen young Demon Flood Dragons—the power of 16 Flood Dragons.

If concentrated, such power could shatter a small mountain.

How could a mere mortal body withstand it?

And yet, Yang Xiao had decided that he would do just that—meet the immense power of 16 Flood Dragons head-on with his own flesh and blood.

”In that case, receive a palm strike from this old man!”

With a low cry, Supreme Elder Ye Dongcheng raised his hand and shot a palm strike toward Yang Xiao.

Instantly, the vibrating aura in the surroundings fell completely silent.

The very air seemed to freeze.

It was as if time itself had slowed.

All that could be seen was a single, jade-white palm pressing toward Yang Xiao.

”Excellent timing! Just what I needed to test my Qilin True Body, now refined into my very bloodline. Fusion Skill! Qilin Transformation!”

Yang Xiao, however, just smiled faintly.

With a low shout, powerful waves of Blood Evil Qi surged out from within him.

The moment this Blood Evil Qi entered Yang Xiao’s flesh and blood, his entire frame swelled by a full size.

What was more terrifying was that his head, his feet, his hands—his entire body began to change, sprouting one purplish-red scale after another.

His hands and feet morphed into fearsome, sharp claws.

In that instant, it was as if he had transformed into a terrifying, purplish-red Qilin.

Moreover, this was an authentic Qilin.

It wasn’t some being like the Earth Fire Qilin Beast.

This was a pure-blooded Qilin.

The aura it radiated was incomparably fierce.

Terrifying.

This was a new fusion technique for the Qilin True Body that Yang Xiao had created after refining it into his own bloodline: the Qilin Transformation.

It allowed the Qilin True Body to fuse with his flesh and blood, amplifying his Physical Strength.

At this moment, leaving aside everything else, Yang Xiao’s physical body alone was equivalent to a Barbaric Beast at the Peak of Tier Four.

His power was unimaginably immense.

Furthermore, rashly summoning the full Qilin True Body would expose one of his greatest trump cards. Fusing it with his own flesh and blood, however, was a different matter.

Many people with special bloodlines possessed similar transformation abilities.

Besides, his opponent was only at the Martial Grandmaster Peak of Fourth Layer.

There was no need to use any more powerful methods.

The Qilin Transformation was enough.
