“A gift for you — do you like it? Within one month, the Nine Lands will cease to exist. Spirit Sect’s radiance began with me, and it will also end with me!”

Yan Tianhen clenched his fist, glaring at the words that distorted like snakes and disappeared. He said through gritted teeth, “Spirit Sect, he actually mentioned Spirit Sect! Who the hell are you? If you are an old friend of Spirit Sect, why would you do such a thing!?”

However, he was destined not to get the answer.

He could only hear the arrogant laugh that filled the whole sky. Yan Tianhen really wanted to swear, but even if he swore at the sky, it still wouldn’t help. At most, it would just be venting. Yan Tianhen didn’t need to waste these saliva.

He raised his hand and burned the malicious letter to ashes. He narrowed his eyes and said to Lin Xuanzhi, “Dage, I’m going to pull that bastard out. Be ready to kill him.”

Lin Xuanzhi looked at Yan Tianhen. “We can only give it a try now.”

Yan Tianhen waved a palm at the giant dragon, feeling the direction in which the evil Qi inside the dragon was absorbed vigorously. His eyes closed for a moment and then suddenly opened again. His purple and bright eyes seemed to burst into anger.

Southeast.

The southeastern corner of the Royal Heavenly Capital was full of barren hills and ridges that were well-known far and wide. Here lies the largest mass grave in the entire Royal Heavenly Capital. Many outsiders and residents who had no money for a burial would be thrown here.

Cultivators have always had a natural resistance to dead things. They believed that the death Qi would harm their luck and pollute their spiritual Qi, so they tried every means to get far away from it. Apart from the officials who collected corpses and dropped them off, few people would wander around the mass grave.

Yan Tianhen and Lin Xuanzhi went straight to the mass grave.

The wind was blowing and the ghosts were wailing bitterly.

The swirling pillar of wind came out of the dragon’s mouth in the center, poured down, and sent evil Qi directly into the body of a man who was sitting cross-legged on the ground and absorbing the evil Qi.

The person was several miles away, but Yan Tianhen could still feel the majestic evil Qi. He forcibly resisted the impulse to absorb the evil Qi into his body. He gritted his teeth, silently recited a few calming meditation skills, and then continued to rush towards Tu Feng.

A willow whip hundreds of meters long fell from the sky and whipped directly towards Tu Feng. The whip was mixed with endless killing intent and spiritual Qi, so Tu Feng had to stop absorbing the evil Qi and get up to fight back.

Tu Feng raised the palms of his hands, drew a circular arc, and then made a hand seal. The evil Qi behind him condensed into a huge monster. It seemed that it was a fierce beast — the Taotie.

With a roar, the Taotie spread its four strong hooves and attacked Yan Tianhen. Wailing, fierce evil Qi gushed out from its mouth and four hooves. Wherever it went, let alone vegetation, even those lonely souls and wild ghosts had been shattered to pieces. The power to destroy Heaven and Earth was overwhelming.

Yan Tianhen just opened his storage ring and said, “Go.”

Then he passed the Taotie beast directly and rushed towards Tu Feng. An ancient beast that looked like a white deer suddenly became bigger; its shape was similar to the fierce Fu Zhu, who was as large as several tall buildings.

Fu Zhu roared and gave an extremely fierce glare. His four feet were surrounded by three types of Qi. There were auspicious clouds under his feet as he met the Taotie head-on without fear. The two huge beasts collided with each other. For a time, the earth shook and the mountains collapsed, thousands of ghosts wailed, landslides fell, and sand and debris flew everywhere. It was like they were trying to destroy the world along with each other.

Yan Tianhen had already reached Tu Feng in the blink of an eye. His whip was the combination of Yin flame, evil Qi, and spiritual Qi. Although his cultivation was merely at Earth Realm’s Major Perfection Stage, his actual strength was far higher than that of cultivators of the same level, and he had vaguely touched the door of the Grandmaster Stage.

The long whip uprooted the plants and trees that had been growing around for many years, and the fierce wind blasted them into pieces.

Yan Tianhen gritted his teeth so hard that his gums were almost bleeding. He glared at Tu Feng, who was condensing the second fierce beast. Yan Tianhen roared, and swung a 100-meter-long whip from the air towards the fierce beast that was about to condense.

The sound rang through Heaven and Earth. Tu Feng was stunned. The fierce beast behind him disappeared, and Yan Tianhen landed in front of Tu Feng.

He was sweating a little on his forehead, but his face was very cold.

“So you’re Tu Feng.” Yan Tianhen looked at the man whose face couldn’t be seen clearly behind his hood and sneered, “Why, you don’t even dare to show your face?”

Tu Feng chuckled twice and said teasingly, “It’s not that I don’t dare to show my face, but that if you see me, you won’t have the courage to keep on fighting me. Won’t that be… very boring?”

Yan Tianhen narrowed his eyes. So he really is someone I know. He asked, “Who exactly are you?”

Tu Feng replied, “Since you are so curious about who I am, I might as well grant your wish.”

As he said this, Tu Feng gently raised his hand. A breeze brushed his cheek, and the broad and thick hood slipped down from his head.

A handsome face appeared in front of Yan Tianhen, and Yan Tianhen suddenly froze.

He stared unblinkingly at the person in front of him. His originally normal complexion gradually paled until his face looked entirely bloodless.

“I did say that sometimes ignorance is better.” Tu Feng chuckled twice. “Well, are you surprised? Didn’t expect this, did you? Actually, I was also quite surprised. I originally thought you were on the side of the evil Qi cultivators, but who would’ve thought that you were actually a hidden piece Gu Qingchen buried on our side. Gu Qingchen ah, Gu Qingchen — he really is something!”

As soon as Yan Tianhen heard that familiar name, his eyes immediately reddened. He clenched his fists and shouted, “You have no right to say this name!”

“Naturally, I have a right to say it.” Tu Feng didn’t think much of it and continued, “After all, he’s my younger brother. He is Dao Zu, the greatest figure in the history of the Nine Lands. Only I have the right to call him by his name.”

Yan Tianhen took a deep breath and stared at Tu Feng, better known as Sheng Ren. “Why? Why would you do this? You’re already standing at the top of the Nine Lands. Everyone in the world is under your feet. They all believe in you and love you. What else do you want?”

He didn’t understand why Sheng Ren would do this.

During the Spirit Sect era, Dao Zu and Sheng Ren were a pair of siblings who supported the Nine Lands together. Not only were they the co-sect leaders of Hidden Spirit Holy Sect, but they were also idols admired by all the cultivators in the Nine Lands.

No one dared to disobey their teachings, and most people even worshipped them as the sun, moon, and stars. No one dared to commit even the slightest blasphemy against them.

Dao Zu and Sheng Ren — they should have stood at the top of the world, overlooking all living beings. They did not become gods, but they were the gods of the Nine Lands.

Their fame and reputation had already reached such a point. What else would Sheng Ren still be dissatisfied with? What else does he want?

Tu Feng looked at Yan Tianhen, who was both disappointed and miserable. It was as if he saw the boy holding Dao Zu’s corpse ten thousand years ago, crying and asking “Why?” in a hoarse voice.

“Why would I do this? Naturally, I have a reason.” Tu Feng tilted his head and smiled with some evil intent. “Because I want only the two of us — Ah Chen and me — to remain in this world. Other people are unnecessary and are interfering with my love story with Ah Chen. Ever since he accepted you guys as his disciples, he could no longer see me. Say, shouldn’t I destroy this world?”

Yan Tianhen only felt a chill.

He was stunned and speechless.

What the hell is this all about?

Yan Tianhen said, “Aren’t you and my master brothers?”

Tu Feng said, “So what if he’s my brother? I made the rules of the world, to begin with. Even if I destroy these rules, who can say anything about it?”

Yan Tianhen felt his scalp go numb. “If it’s really for Master, then you… Then you should also protect the peace and safety of the Nine Lands for him, rather than killing the living beings so cruelly that the spiritual Qi of the Nine Lands would collapse into ruin.”

Tu Feng smiled and said coldly, “I was willing to give everything for him, but he just had to push me farther and farther away. He just had to value his disciples over me. Since I couldn’t obtain him, I might as well destroy everything he holds dear.”

Yan Tianhen gasped.

He… Why couldn’t he understand what Tu Feng was talking about?

But it no longer mattered whether or not he understood.

More importantly, he discovered that Tu Feng seemed to have already gone crazy.

The man with Sheng Ren’s face had dark purple eyes, and the majestic evil Qi fell down behind him like a waterfall, which almost made Yan Tianhen unable to keep his eyes open.

“Destroy the world, and then what?” Yan Tianhen suddenly asked, “Won’t Master still be gone, all the same? Won’t you still be alone? Dao Zu is no longer in this world. He has been dead for thousands of years. Even his bones have already turned into mud and earth. You won’t be able to find him in Heaven and Earth ever again!”

“Shut up!”

Yan Tianhen didn’t know which sentence stepped on Tu Feng’s tail. Tu Feng jumped up directly and struck a palm towards Yan Tianhen, his expression full of venom. Unexpectedly, the force behind the attack was capable of toppling mountains and seas.

However, at this time, Yan Tianhen retreated with all his strength.

From behind Tu Feng, a fierce sword light pierced his chest. The purple evil Qi suddenly burst, and the cold wind howled. Tu Feng looked down at the long sword that stabbed into his chest. After a moment, his body collapsed into pieces.

Lin Xuanzhi’s whole body wrapped in a teal golden halo, which blocked all the bloody fragments from Tu Feng’s corpse. A full-powered blow from a Grandmaster could defeat many people, even an evil Qi cultivator.

However…

A gust of powerful evil Qi fled towards the Northwest. It was too fast for people to reach.

“He’s not dead yet.” Lin Xuanzhi’s face was gloomy. Looking at the evil Qi who began to flee in all directions, he said: “He should be… immortal.”

With an immortal body, even if his body was destroyed, he could still absorb the evil Qi into his body and condense a new body after a while. Moreover, looking at the current trend, the evil Qi between Heaven and Earth was inexhaustible, while the spiritual Qi was being consumed and disappearing at a frightening speed. Even if they didn’t do anything, they would automatically lose after a period of time.

Without spiritual Qi, how would they be able to cultivate?

What a frightening calamity this was.
