Chapter 285: Bring Him Here to Meet His End!
Chapter 285: Bring Him Here to Meet His End!
The Yu Province trembled as an overpowering presence from the Super Celestial Sect descended upon it.
In the Zheng Nation, Emperor Zheng led a group of royalty and powerful subordinates, along with several high-ranking officials, soaring into the sky towards the border of Yu Province.
This was a true powerhouse from the Super Celestial Sect, far beyond the level of direct disciples like Cui Huayu. How could Emperor Zheng and the others dare to show any negligence?
Aside from the Zheng Nation, powerful figures from the various sects and noble families of Yu Province also emerged to greet the visitor.
After all, the Spiritual Realm ultimately fell under the jurisdiction of the Super Celestial Sect.
The Yu Divine Sect and Su Family's territory originally belonged to the Alliance, but their warriors quickly hid themselves. Fortunately, aside from the Shen Family, no one else knew their identities.
The Shen Family secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If the Super Celestial Sect found out about their collusion with the loose cultivators, they would likely be expelled from the ranks of the noble families by a true powerhouse.
After all, the formation of every sect and noble family in the Spiritual Realm had to be recognized by the Super Celestial Sect.
Once expelled, they would no longer be considered a noble family and would lose all the privileges that came with that status. Their territory would be instantly occupied by other sects and families.
"Paying respects to the High Exalt!"
Emperor Zheng and the others immediately knelt on the ground.
Even from a distance, they felt a suffocating pressure. Looking ahead, a figure stirred the very heavens and earth as he approached.
Was this the might of a true powerhouse?
"Hmm!"
Huang Liang nodded.
He did not hold back his overwhelming presence, holding a long spear in his hand as the winds and clouds swirled around him.
"Paying respects to the High Master!"
With the Yu Divine Sect destroyed, the leader of the Yu Province's sect forces had become the Shen Family. Shen Tai, a late God Refining warrior who had succeeded Zhu Liang, led a group of God Refining warriors from the province's sects and noble families to greet the visitor.
"Hmm!"
Huang Liang nodded again.
His gaze was sharp, and his expression indifferent as he coldly asked, "Where are Xu Yan and his master?"
"We respectfully report that we do not know their whereabouts, High Master!"
Shen Tai replied, bowing his head.
Emperor Zheng spoke up, "High Exalt, although Xu Yan and the others have hidden themselves, they must still be in Yu Province."
Huang Liang nodded, "Tell Xu Yan and his master to come and kneel before me in three days. If they do so, I may spare their lives. Otherwise, they will die!"
"Yes!"
The group of powerful warriors felt a chill in their hearts.
With a true powerhouse taking action, Xu Yan and his master were undoubtedly doomed.
Many people's minds were filled with the scene of Xu Yan's master taking action. It had been too shocking!
Most likely, the true powerhouse from the Thousand Martial Sect had come because of Xu Yan's master.
Huang Liang took a step forward, heading towards the capital of the Zheng Nation to rest.
The powerful figures from the Yu Province's sects and families dispersed, spreading the news throughout the province to ensure that it reached Xu Yan's ears.
...
Chen Province, one of the eighteen provinces of the Spiritual Realm.
A stone peak towered three thousand zhang tall, the tallest among the continuous mountain ranges and located at their very center.
However, the inside of this stone peak had been hollowed out.
At its center was a massive plaza, surrounded by halls, pavilions, and secret chambers carved into the stone walls.
This was the headquarters of the Alliance.
News arrived from the Luo Province Alliance, shaking the entire Alliance. Many powerful warriors gathered to discuss their next course of action.
Along with this news came the information that Yue Changming had been defeated by Huang Liang, a true powerhouse from the Thousand Martial Sect.
In a grand hall, powerful warriors assembled.
Among them was a burly man with a face full of anger.
"Huang Liang!"
His face reddened, and his eyes shone with killing intent.
"I must kill him!"
Sitting at the head of the hall, the elegant and refined Alliance Leader, Tan Wenlin, sighed, "Yue Zhao Chang Kong Yue Changming, I had heard of your name back when I was in the Azure Sea.
"I thought you had perished during the Ten Thousand Stars Calamity, never expecting that you had survived.
"With Brother Yue's talent, he shouldn't have been defeated by Huang Liang."
Tan Wenlin frowned, puzzled.
The burly man angrily said, "Brother Yue was struck down by a despicable elder from the Thousand Martial Sect, causing his spirit body to be damaged. Otherwise, Huang Liang wouldn't have been a match for him!"
"I see!"
Tan Wenlin nodded.
"Leader, the Luo Province Alliance has been almost completely destroyed. Huang Liang has gone too far! I'm going to kill him!"
The burly man, known as Chang Niu, stood up and declared.
Tan Wenlin pondered for a moment before replying solemnly, "Chang Niu, be careful. Huang Liang is a true powerhouse, and the Thousand Martial Sect's foundation cannot be underestimated."
"Leader, rest assured. I know what I'm doing!"
Chang Niu replied in a low voice.
Tan Wenlin's expression turned solemn as he looked at the powerful warriors present and said, "Brothers, the Luo Province Alliance has suffered heavy losses, and the branches in the other provinces have likely been exposed as well. The sects will soon take action.
"There's no point in continuing to hide, so the Alliance will now declare itself to the Spiritual Realm and fight for a place for loose cultivators.
"I've endured enough!"
"The Super Celestial Sect has gone too far in oppressing us. Our Alliance of Myriad Worlds will definitely fight for our place under the heavens!"
Tan Wenlin waved his hand, and the grand hall immediately fell silent.
"The branch alliances need powerful experts to oversee them. You will all set off immediately and prepare to occupy a state for ourselves. Chen State will be the territory of our Alliance of Myriad Worlds!
"Even if we cannot claim a place for the independent cultivators of the Eighteen States, Chen State must be under our control.
"Additionally, the Yu State branch alliance will remain hidden for now and will not be revealed. We will not send any experts there, and Chang Niu will oversee the Luo State."
Tan Wenlin began assigning tasks to the experts.
Once the task assignments were complete, the experts of the Alliance of Myriad Worlds left the headquarters and headed towards their respective states.
"Chang Niu, I know you hate Huang Liang and the Thousand Martial Sect, but Huang Liang is, after all, a peak expert. Even if you can defeat him, killing him might be difficult, and you must not take unnecessary risks or sustain severe injuries.
"The Luo State alliance has been almost completely destroyed, and this grudge must be avenged. So, destroy the Chi Meng Sect!"
Tan Wenlin spoke solemnly as he saw Chang Niu off.
"Master, rest assured. I, Chang Niu, understand the gravity of the situation. I will oversee the Luo State and destroy the Chi Meng Sect. The blood of our brothers from the Alliance of Myriad Worlds will not have been shed in vain.
"Even if Huang Liang does not die, I will inflict heavy injuries on him.
"Whether it is to avenge Brother Yue or for the grudge from our academy days, I will not let him off easily!"
Chang Niu replied in a low voice.
Tan Wenlin patted him on the shoulder and did not say anything further.
Among the Myriad Stars' Thirty-Six Heroes of the past, who had once overshadowed even the heaven's pride of the Super Celestial Sect, how many were still alive today? Chang Niu was one of them, but among the Thirty-Six Heroes, his ranking was relatively low.
Chang Niu departed and headed straight for Luo State to intercept Huang Liang and destroy the Chi Meng Sect.
Tan Wenlin stood in his original spot, deep in thought. In the past, the Myriad Stars' Thirty-Six Heroes were revered by all independent cultivators in the Spirit Realm, but now, how many independent cultivators still knew about them?
Even during the time when the Blood Demon swept through the Spirit Realm and annihilated the Super Celestial Sect's clans, how many independent cultivators were aware of the Blood Demon's calamity?
"Super Celestial Sect!"
The traces of history had almost been erased by the Super Celestial Sect, and only they knew what had truly transpired in the past. But even if they spoke of it now, how many independent cultivators would believe that there were once independent cultivator geniuses who overshadowed the heaven's pride of the Super Celestial Sect?
How many would believe that there was once a person who struck fear into the hearts of the Super Celestial Sect's clans?
Probably, they would all think it was absurd.
"The strongest among the Myriad Stars' Thirty-Six Heroes was not one of the thirty-six, but the Blood Demon!"
Tan Wenlin sighed in his heart.
He felt a heavy burden on his shoulders. In the past, even the mighty Blood Demon had failed to accomplish certain things. Could he, Tan Wenlin, succeed?
...
"The Luo State alliance has been annihilated!"
Fang Hao was shocked as he read Yu Gao's message.
He had assumed that the Alliance of Myriad Worlds, which aimed to fight for a place for independent cultivators, would not be weak. But the Luo State alliance had been crushed soon after its emergence, almost completely destroyed.
The leader of the Luo State alliance and several other powerful experts had perished, and only a handful had escaped and fled to Yu State.
"A peak expert has come to Yu State!"
Fang Hao said in a low voice.
Then, he continued angrily, "Huang Liang of the Thousand Martial Sect has gone too far! He even dared to proclaim that we should kneel before him in three days, or we will all die!"
A cold light flashed in Li Xuan's eyes. Huang Liang was truly walking on the path to his own demise.
"This is outrageous! I will definitely trample the Thousand Martial Sect under my feet!"
Xuan Yan's face was filled with rage.
Yue Changming walked out of the house. After recuperating, his injuries had mostly healed, and his cultivation realm had stabilized. However, due to the depletion of his spiritual body's origin, his strength was not what it used to be.
But the fact that he was still alive was already a blessing.
He no longer dared to ask for more.
"Huang Liang is extremely powerful. The might of his spear is like the overwhelming power of the heavens and the earth. We must not underestimate him!"
Yue Changming warned solemnly.
Li Xuan's eyebrows furrowed. "The might of his spear is like the overwhelming power of the heavens and the earth?"
Could it be that the peak experts of the Super Celestial Sect could already wield the power of the heavenly laws?
Upon further thought, that didn't seem likely.
If they could truly harness the power of the heavenly laws, then even a slight display of their strength would leave Yue Changming with no chance of escape at all!
"Tell Huang Liang to come here to meet his end. A mere ant dares to call himself a peak expert? What a joke!"
Li Xuan spoke with a calm yet authoritative tone.
"Yes, Master!"
Fang Hao was thrilled.
Was Master about to take action again?
He immediately sent a message to Yu Gao, instructing him to spread the word and invite Huang Liang to come to his demise.
Yue Changming did not try to dissuade him. If even a peak expert was considered an ant, what was there to persuade? If they truly couldn't defeat him, then they would all perish together!
Seeing Xuan Yan and the others, none of them looked worried, but instead, they seemed excited, as if they were eagerly anticipating the scene of Huang Liang, the so-called "ant," being crushed by Li Xuan's palm.
The newcomer was a powerful warrior from the Zheng royal family.
"Your Majesty, we have news of Xu Yan!" the messenger exclaimed excitedly.
Emperor Zheng's face lit up with joy.
"Speak!" Huang Liang commanded in a deep voice.
"Your Highness, Xu Yan's master sent a message for you..." the messenger began, but then hesitated, his forehead breaking out in a cold sweat as he realized his mistake.
In his eagerness to deliver the news and impress the Overpowering Presence, he had forgotten that imitating the tone of Xu Yan's master when relaying the message could be considered disrespectful.
Huang Liang frowned, "Continue, and speak the truth!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" the messenger quickly complied, taking a deep breath to steady himself. He then proceeded to relay the message, imitating the tone of Xu Yan's master, "Tell Huang Liang to come here to meet his end. How dare an insignificant ant like him call himself a peak expert? What a joke!"
After delivering the message, the messenger felt relieved, thinking to himself that these were the exact words he had been given, and he hadn't added anything of his own. Surely, the Overpowering Presence wouldn't blame him for simply passing on the message?
"Hahaha! How bold!" Huang Liang laughed angrily.
With a slight movement of his long spear, a spear glow erupted and instantly obliterated the messenger.
Emperor Zheng and the others broke out in cold sweats, their hearts pounding with anxiety. They silently cursed the messenger for his foolishness in imitating the tone. He had brought this upon himself!
"Good, good, good!" Huang Liang sneered, "Let's see who the real ant is and teach this ignorant fool a lesson. I intended to give him a chance to live, but since he insists on seeking his own death, I shall grant his wish!"
With that, Huang Liang's figure flashed as he sped towards the capital of the Zheng Nation.
Emperor Zheng and his group hurriedly followed.
The news spread like wildfire, and powerful Refining God warriors from various spiritual sects and noble families in the Yu Province made their way to the outskirts of the Zheng Nation's capital. They were eager to witness the earth-shattering battle between these two Overpowering Presences!
To witness the might of a true powerhouse!
Although Xu Yan's master had shocked the world with his display during the Battle of Heaven's Pride, no one believed he could be a match for the Overpowering Presence from the Super Celestial Sect.
Xu Yan and the others were undoubtedly doomed.
"The ant has arrived!" Li Xuan announced calmly, looking up from the courtyard of the manor where Su Lingxiu was preparing to refine a pill.
