Chapter 2416: Chapter 2417: Dominant Youth! Second Update

"Who would have thought that shortly after the Heavenly Palace disappeared, a new temple would emerge!"

"The four major powers—Taiyi Divine Sect, Demon God Sect, Turquoise Pool Holy Land, and Black Fiend Cult—are really unlucky. There’s only one person, yet he not only beat their younger generations into submission, but even the elder experts suffered humiliating defeats."

"Shush, we better discuss this quietly. If the god-like figure in that temple overhears, no matter your background, you’ll be in trouble. Haven’t you noticed that the four major powers had no choice but to submit meekly to him?"

"In my opinion, the temple will become the second Heavenly Palace. But this god-like figure is even more eccentric than the former Heavenly Emperor, and he kills without hesitation. Anyone who dares defy him ends up dead. So tyrannical!"

Inside the tavern, a few Loose Cultivators gathered around a table, discussing the major events that had occurred recently.

Initially, when the Heavenly Palace was destroyed, its shadow was also obliterated, and various powers began vying to be the dominant force.

They unanimously decided to settle the hierarchy through arena battles and determine the top sect.

Yet, who could have imagined that just as the four strongest geniuses of the younger generation started fighting, a mysteriously youthful figure appeared and interrupted the arena battle.

At that time, the Stone Demon Lord, Turquoise Pool, the newly appointed Saint Heir of the Taiyi Divine Sect, and the Silent Youth from Black Fiend Cult all felt angered by this unexpected guest interrupting their duel.

In facing them, the mysterious youth disdainfully said, "You are too weak. With such power, you’re not qualified to vie for the top force title."

These words undoubtedly angered the four. The two dispatched by Taiyi Divine Sect and Black Fiend Cult were not well-known among the crowd, but the Stone Demon Lord and Turquoise Pool Saint were famous across Eastern Desolation. Everyone knew their power was formidable; ever since they embarked on the Martial Artist path, they were recognized as prodigies. Especially after returning from the Milky Way road, among the younger generation, apart from the prodigy Ye Qiu, no one was a match for the Stone Demon Lord and Turquoise Pool Saint.

But now, an unfamiliar youth was speaking such scornful words to them. How could they not be enraged?

Even before the elders of the various sects could interfere, the four insisted on battling the mysterious youth.

They wanted to see just how skilled he was, since he seemed so conceited.

Consequently, the four faced tragedy as this arrogant youth turned out to be incredibly strong. In a single move, all four were sent flying in an instant.

Realizing the youth’s terrifying strength, they collectively attacked, but the outcome remained unchanged.

The youth stood his ground, using merely one hand. Without even moving his legs, just a few punches knocked the four to the ground, severely injuring them.

This outcome shocked everyone present.

The Stone Demon Lord and Turquoise Pool Saint had exhibited celestial power, yet they could still not defend themselves.

Faced with this unexpected youth intruding and disrupting, the four major powers couldn’t ignore it. Promptly, various elders from the four major powers intervened.

Over twenty celestial-level experts attacked, but the result was even more astonishing.

Even with so many celestial-level experts, they couldn’t withstand the youth’s might. The youth seemed like an undefeatable War God. Even a few seemingly gentle punches knocked down several celestial-level experts.

Celestial-level strength seemed childish before him, powerless to affect him.

The members of the various sects suddenly realized the youth’s terrifying nature, estimating his strength at least at the Dao Sovereign level.

Was another Dao Sovereign realm Martial Artist emerging—young again? Seeing the mysterious youth, the sects couldn’t help but think of Ye Qiu.

But this person was clearly not Ye Qiu.

Having defeated everyone, the youth stood proudly in the center.

He declared to everyone, "From now on, the former site of the Heavenly Palace is the territory of my temple. I am the master of the temple. Henceforth, all sects shall submit to my temple."

After speaking, he gazed at everyone, boldly stating, "Anyone disagreeing may step forth immediately."

Someone genuinely disagreed first, claiming they had never heard of the temple.

In response, the youth only smiled slightly and raised his palm. Then, forming a fist, that person turned into a blood mist—dead beyond revival.

"Anyone else?"

The various sects were silent; the youth’s strength compelled everyone into silence. Even Taiyi Divine Sect, Demon God Sect, and Black Fiend Cult dared not oppose him, tacitly accepting his words.

The temple’s fame spread swiftly, becoming known throughout Eastern Desolation, and recently, its name reached Southern Desolation.

The once-destroyed Floating Island of the Heavenly Palace now hosted a newly erected grand hall, transformed into a majestic palace.

All sects expressed support for the temple, willing to accept it as their ruler.

No one dared defy the youth’s words because anyone who did was killed by him.

The youth’s title as temple master spread across Eastern Desolation and Southern Desolation, rivaling the former Heavenly Palace.

People speculated about the youth’s identity, as his appearance seemed entirely untraceable in Eastern Desolation—it’s as if the man appeared from thin air.

Ye Qiu’s rise was indeed quiet when he arrived at the ancestral land, but it left traces. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been recognized eventually.

Yet, this youth who claims to be the temple master truly left no trace of his origins.

It’s as if this man emerged as a superpower from the start.

Indeed, the various sects already had some clues about the youth’s identity. If their speculation turned out accurate, it would definitely shake the entire ancestral land.

Moreover, they dared not defy the youth, as doing so may lead to catastrophic disaster.

The youth visited all the major sects, as though wandering through his own backyard.

In reality, he indeed treated the various sects as his domain, moving freely.

Upon entering the Turquoise Pool Holy Land, he wanted the Turquoise Pool Saint to serve as his maid. Though unwilling, the Turquoise Pool Holy Land faced the youth’s fury at potentially killing.

Just then, a white-haired elderly woman appeared, emanating the aura of a Dao Sovereign.

The youth expressed surprise before laughing heartily, voluntarily engaging the elderly woman in combat.

It was the Turquoise Pool Holy Land’s strongest—the former Turquoise Pool Mother, now an aging Dao Sovereign.

However, confronting the youth, even the former Mother couldn’t change the outcome, being slain on the spot.

To quell the youth’s anger, the Turquoise Pool Saint had to voluntarily step forward to become his maid.

Satisfied, the youth left the Turquoise Pool Holy Land, leaving behind a community of furious yet helpless members.

Afterward, the youth visited the Demon God Sect, demanding the Stone Demon Lord serve him. With the example of the Turquoise Pool Holy Land, the Demon God Sect dared not make rash moves. The Stone Demon Lord had no choice but to become a retainer like the Turquoise Pool Saint.

With the Turquoise Pool Saint and Stone Demon Lord consecutively becoming the youth’s maid and retinue, Eastern Desolation’s various sects were once again shocked beyond measure.

Meanwhile, Ye Qiu ultimately returned to the ancestral land, appearing on Eastern Desolation’s ground.
