Chapter 654 - 663: The Annihilation of the Asura Sect

Qiu Mo’s pleas echoed up into the sky. The members of the Celestial Profound Sect remained utterly silent, not uttering a single word. Meanwhile, the people of the Asura Sect lifted their heads to look at the heavens, their hearts lodged in their throats.

"Kill."

The man in the bronze mask’s eyes were utterly indifferent. His lips parted slightly, and a cold, merciless voice drifted from his mouth.

BOOM!

Qiu Mo’s mind went completely blank.

The color drained from the faces of the Asura Sect members, leaving them as pale as paper.

As soon as the man in the bronze mask finished speaking, an expert from the Celestial Profound Sect’s Life Peak stepped forward. He raised a hand before his chest, and boundless, majestic Primordial Qi surged like a tide into his palm.

A sharp CRACKLING erupted from his palm, and faint, purple arcs of electricity began to flicker within it.

"Celestial Thunder Spell!"

With a clear shout, the expert from Life Peak slammed his palm downwards toward the Asura Sect members below.

In mid-air, a bolt of purple lightning shaped like a Thunder Dragon tore through the void, rushing forward with immense power.

When Qiu Mo saw this, his pupils shrank. He then roared wildly at the surrounding Asura Sect members, "Run!"

But it was too late. The purple lightning had already descended, landing in the midst of the crowd.

"BOOM!"

A cataclysmic explosion shook the heavens. A giant mushroom cloud erupted where the Asura Sect members had stood, and a boundless shockwave of thick dust and smoke rolled outward.

The surrounding rubble and buildings were pulverized into ash by the colossal, rolling shockwave.

An unknown amount of time passed before the dust and smoke slowly began to dissipate.

Where the members of the Asura Sect had been, a giant crater twenty zhang in diameter had appeared, completely devoid of life.

The Asura Sect, which had once dominated the southeastern part of the Eastern Profound Domain and was at the zenith of its power, had vanished like smoke, reduced to nothing. Not a single member survived.

The man in the bronze mask stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his eyes fixed on the pillar of smoke rising into the sky. He did not say a word.

"Do you have any further instructions?"

The old man beside him asked the bronze-masked man slowly.

The bronze-masked man stared into the distance and spoke in a low voice, "The Thousand Nether Valley and the Sword Sect have been active recently, but they’re clearly biding their time, hoping to profit from the conflict. The Daoist School of Non-action and the Qinghuo Clan are also getting restless—it seems they’ve acquired a Dragon Scale from an Azure Dragon. Ah, this Eastern Profound Domain is truly chaotic. Our Celestial Profound Sect should also look for some allies."

The people around him listened to the bronze-masked man’s words, their faces expressionless, as if they hadn’t heard a thing.

"Everyone, disperse!"

The man in the bronze mask took a deep breath, and his body abruptly transformed into a thin line, vanishing from sight.

After seeing the bronze-masked man disappear, the others exchanged no words. They transformed into streaks of multi-colored light and scattered in all directions, as if they had all come from different places.

Within a few breaths, the sky above Asura City was empty once more.

......

「Dayan Dynasty, Imperial City. Heaven-Burying Sect Headquarters.」

Potent Primordial Qi erupted behind Qing Yue, but his figure blurred into a series of afterimages. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Wen Qingye and threw a punch.

There was nothing flashy about the punch. A crimson glow emanated from its core, wrapping around the fist and unsettling the Heart Spirit. This was the Law Power of the Taiyi Heartless Dao.

Watching the surging Fist Force approach, Wen Qingye couldn’t help but think, ’As expected of an expert at the Sixth Heaven of Life and Death Realm. His strength is truly formidable when he strikes in anger.’

However, Wen Qingye had cultivated his Five Elements Body Refining Technique to the Qi Burst stage. Moreover, he was currently empowered by the Qilin Fire. How could he possibly fear Qing Yue?

The crimson glow carried a heavy sense of obsessive desire, instantly enveloping its target in that emotion. Such a distraction might have worked on others, but it had no effect whatsoever on Wen Qingye.

FWOOSH!

A purple light suddenly erupted from Wen Qingye’s body. Without any intention of dodging, he met the attack with a punch of his own.

When Qing Yue saw that Wen Qingye wasn’t dodging, he found his opponent’s pride laughable.

The two fists, each containing terrifying power, seemed to tear through the void itself before colliding violently under everyone’s solemn stares.

BOOM!

The very air seemed to explode at that moment. A visible shockwave raged outwards, making the void itself tremble. The ground beneath their feet couldn’t withstand the impact and spiderwebbed with cracks as thick as a man’s arm.

Everyone stared intently at the epicenter of the explosion. A moment later, their expressions shifted in utter shock. They saw that Wen Qingye, who had met Qing Yue’s blow head-on, hadn’t moved an inch. He was as solid as a boulder.

Qing Yue, on the other hand, seemed to have been affected by a massive recoil. His body trembled, and he was forced to take several steps back.

"That Wen Qingye’s strength is terrifying..."

Qing Yun was aghast. He never expected that Wen Qingye, with only his strength at the Life and Death Realm Third Layer Heaven, could clash with Qing Yue and not be at a disadvantage—in fact, he even seemed to have a slight upper hand.

The surrounding members of the Heaven-Burying Sect all wore solemn expressions.

Amid the widespread uproar, a dark look clouded Qing Yue’s eyes. He could feel a trace of purple flame on his arm, and it was gradually devouring his Primordial Qi. He was forced to expend a large amount of his own Primordial Qi just to contain the raging purple fire.

"BOOM!"

An endless, explosive aura burst forth from Qing Yun. His body shot forward like an arrow loosed from its string, and in an instant, he too was in front of Wen Qingye.

He extended his index finger, which glowed with a pure red Yang brilliance.

"First Finger of the Three Yangs Infinite Finger!"

High in the sky, a massive red Jade Pillar materialized and descended, pressing down on Wen Qingye without hesitation. The surrounding air shuddered and fled outwards.

As the Jade Pillar thundered down with world-shaking might, Wen Qingye’s figure seemed utterly minuscule, with nowhere to run.

Faced with such an attack, Wen Qingye’s expression also turned grave. Rich, purple Primordial Qi surged into his arms as his hands began to fly through a series of complex hand seals.

In an instant, the surroundings fell into a dead silence. A terrifying darkness pressed in, and everyone’s heart clenched, as if they could feel the asphyxiation that comes just before death.

"Undying Seal Technique, Sixth Form: Charge the Underworld Department, Viewing Death as Homecoming!"

A massive Seal Technique materialized from Wen Qingye’s palms, ringed with flecks of purple fire. Then, with a sound of tearing air, it shot toward the Jade Pillar.
