"Sir, we can discuss this. We don't have any deep enmity," Ye Meixie said hurriedly, sensing Yun Wuji's deep killing intent. "Although you killed my son, it was his fault, he had eyes and couldn't see Mount Tai. It's only right for you to kill him. I absolutely bear no hatred toward you."

"But I do!" Yun Wuji's voice was cold as ice. "You schemed against my disciple's family and poisoned them. You are also responsible for the death of the late Demon Emperor. So, just like Xuanyuan Wentian and his sect, you will face the same fate...Destruction!"

With that, he immediately turned into a ray of silver light and rushed toward Ye Meixie!

"Wait..." Ye Meixie tried to negotiate, but Yun Wuji was already upon him, and he could only grit his teeth and face the oncoming attack head-on.

Bang!

Yun Wuji's punch struck his chest with brutal force. Ye Meixie tried to block it with his sword, but the immense strength cracked his Tyrant Profound Sword. The impact sent him crashing violently to the ground.

"It's so painful! How could someone be this strong?!" Ye Meixie coughed up a mouthful of blood, struggling to push himself up with his hand on his knee.

He was the unrivaled Sacred Master, yet against this youngster, he couldn't muster the slightest resistance. Flung and thrown around like a worthless toy, he was utterly powerless to fight back!

"Since it's painful, I'll help you get rid of all the pain," Yun Wuji's voice came from above. He appeared suddenly and, without hesitation, punched down with devastating force.

Boom!

'Damn it, I am going to die?'

Ye Meixie raised his sword to block the attack, but the impact forced his knees to buckle, and the already cracked blade splintered under the pressure before breaking into pieces. With the sword destroyed, Yun Wuji's punch continued its relentless path, smashing at Ye Meixie's head and driving his body deep into the ground.

Bang!

The impact left a deep crater in the ground, the earth trembled as if it were being split apart. A thick cloud of dust erupted, swirling violently into the air, obscuring everything in a haze of dirt and debris.

When the dust settled, Ye Meixie lay motionless on the ground, drenched in blood. His head had a small crack, no... his entire body was riddled with cracks as if his bones and flesh had shattered. One of his eyes had been rendered completely blind, the other glazed with pain. He managed to open his mouth, but only a faint groan escaped, weak and pained.

Seeing the pathetic condition of Ye Meixie, Yun Wuji's eyes remained cold and unfeeling. He had already activated Deus Ex Machina, which could only last for a short time. He wasn't foolish enough to waste it on meaningless chatter.

If there was one thing he'd learned from reading countless novels and mangas, it was that villains always died from talking too much.

No, wait-he wasn't a villain! What he meant to say was, that villains often power up because the heroes talk too much!

Right, that's exactly what he meant!

Yun Wuji raised his hand and pointed a finger directly at Ye Meixie. A sharp silver light shot from his fingertip, hitting him straight in the forehead and ending his life instantly.

Just like that, Ye Meixie, one of the four strongest figures in the Profound Sky Continent, met a pathetic end. Without even the strength to resist, he fell.

He became the second leader of a sacred ground to die in the past thousand years, following Ye Mufeng, the Eternal Night King of the Eternal Night Royal Family.

Yun Wuji quickly searched Ye Meixie's body and his portable space. He found some valuable things, but unfortunately, he only found around 300g of Purple Veined Divine Crystal.

After looting the two Sacred Grounds, he collected around 55kgs of Purple Veined Divine Crystal-25kg from the Sun Moon Divine Hall and 30kg from the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region.

He also took 15kg from Duke Huai Palace, and the guardian families along with some Duke Palaces, except for the Yun Clan, gave him 2.5kg each in exchange for Overlord Pellets and the battle formation, bringing the total to more than 82.5kg.

*27.5kg from the guardian families and 40kg from the Duke palaces, plus the 15kg from Duke Huai Palace.*

Additionally, he still had just under 50kg from the mine he had mined back in Floating Cloud City. In total, he now had about 187kg of Purple Veined Divine Crystal, the highest amount ever held by a person or organization in the history of this planet!

If he used the Law of Nothingness to absorb them and boost his cultivation, his strength would rise sharply. This was also why Yun Wuji had never worried about his slow cultivation speed, since the Law of Nothingness could negate this limitation, as long as he had enough

resources.

"Let's hope the other two are as rich," he shrugged his shoulders and teleported back to the battlefield.

When Yun Wuji teleported, he appeared behind one of the two strongest Sun Moon Divine Envoys, Divine Envoy Blazing Sun. The envoy was surrounded by five giants attacking from all sides, doing his best to fend off the relentless assault.

Although the five giants possessed the strength of Level 10 Monarchs, their coordination was imperfect. They had only been using this formation for less than two months, and as a result, their teamwork lacked the precision needed to fully unleash its power.

Yun Wuji silently appeared behind Divine Envoy Blazing Sun, his hand shooting out to seize the envoy by the neck.

Crack!

"No!" Divine Envoy Blazing Sun's pupils shrank as he felt death closing in. He unleashed all his profound energy in a desperate attempt to escape. But it was useless-he was far too weak. With a crackling sound, Yun Wuji twisted and snapped his neck effortlessly.

Swoosh!

Divine Envoy Blazing Sun didn't die immediately. He slowly turned his broken neck, attempting to see who had ambushed him. However, before he could fully turn, a flash of sword light cut through the air, severing his head clean off.

Thud!

His head fell to the ground, rolling like a watermelon before coming to a stop. When it did, his eyes were facing Yun Wuji, as if the Divine Envoy Blazing Sun had finally seen his killer. But unfortunately, it was too late - he was already dead.

"Lord!" the five giants said respectfully, each feeling a shiver run down their spine.

Instantly killing an Overlord was rare but still within the realm of possibility. However, killing even a low-level Monarch? That was unheard of! No one had ever accomplished such a feat. And now, they had witnessed it firsthand! A Level 10 Monarch, someone standing at the very peak of the profound way, killed like a weak chicken, utterly unable to resist!

The confidence they'd built up after using the battle formation shattered completely upon witnessing this scene.

"Go and clean up the others. I'll go help the other team deal with the last one," Yun Wuji nodded and teleported again.

...

The whole process may seem long, but from the start of the attack on the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region to the destruction of Sun Moon Divine Hall, only less than an hour had passed.

After Yun Wuji dealt with all the Level 10 Monarchs, the giants charged toward the other disciples like wolves among sheep. They killed unhindered, rampaging across the battlefield, and within minutes, almost all the high-level cultivators in the Sun Moon Divine Hall had

been slaughtered.

"What technique did you use? How did you become so strong? You killed all those peak Monarchs like they were pigs!" Huan Caiyi approached Yun Wuji, who was resting after

deactivating Deus Ex Machina.

"You want to know?" Yun Wuji looked at her with a slight smirk.

"Yes," Looked at him with her beautiful but cold face and nodded. "It's..." Yun Wuji leaned in close, speaking slowly and deliberately, "a S-E-C-R-E-T."

"...!" Huan Caiyi clenched her fist, resisting the urge to give him a smack. In fact, if she knew he was weak right now, she might have actually done it.

"Lord Yun Wuji," Su Xiangnan approached to report, "After searching the area, we confirmed that almost all the high-ranking cultivators in the Sun Moon Divine Hall have been dealt with. There are, however, a few who slipped through, but we've already sent our men to track them

down."

He paused, hesitating slightly before asking, "What should we do with the remaining ones?"

"They're just weaklings with no part in what their leaders did. Let them go," Yun Wuji said with a casual wave of his hand.

The war between sects is like a war between nations: it's normal to eliminate the high- ranking officers, but senseless to slaughter powerless soldiers and civilians. "Yes!" Su Xiangnan acknowledged, letting out a sigh of relief. Thankfully, Lord Yun Wuji wasn't bloodthirsty. Bowing respectfully, he turned and left to carry out the order.

"Does it make you angry or uncomfortable, seeing me giving orders to your people instead of

you, their Monarch?" Yun Wuji asked, glancing at Huan Caiyi.

"Hmph, I'm not that petty," she gave a cold snort, crossing her arms beneath her perky

breasts and giving him a sidelong glance.

She wanted to tell him that if he wished, she wouldn't mind ruling the Illusory Demon Realm alongside him until their final days...

A few minutes later, news arrived for Yun Wuji; Yun Canghai had successfully crippled

Xuanyuan Wentian's cultivation and destroyed the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region.

As the one responsible for killing Huan Caiyi's father, Xuanyuan Wentian would receive

"special" treatment just like his ally, Duke Ming.

...

Half a day later, in the Absolute Monarch Sanctuary, an elder from the Lin clan stood before the Saint Emperor, Huangji Wuyu. "Our Lord and Savior Fang Yu-cough, I mean Yun Wuji- has destroyed the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region and Sun Moon Divine Hall for foolishly opposing him. However, he's a merciful and benevolent man and wished to grant you a chance, he has a message for you: submit to him and prosper, or resist and face destruction!"
