Chapter 246: Destruction! Spoils of the Great Battle!

The scene the Sect Leader had expected unfortunately did not happen.

Faced with the overwhelming attack of the Boundless Water, Chen Xuan remained utterly calm.

There wasn't even the slightest trace of panic on his face.

Once more, he fluttered the Myriad Souls Banner.

This time, he didn't allow the evil spirits to emerge from within. Instead, he forcefully fused them together, allowing their power to strengthen this strange Magic Weapon.

Under his command, the flag suddenly erupted with astonishing power.

Black chains emerged from within, lashing out like countless tentacles.

They moved with incredible speed, intertwining with one another as they shot toward the incoming Boundless Water.

The two forces collided.

Boom!

The surrounding space trembled violently.

The Boundless Water, although seemingly endless, was actually forced backward by the black chains.

It was only for a few seconds.

However, this was already more than enough for Chen Xuan to act.

"Sure enough, you're worthy of being the leader of a force that has dominated the Boundless Archipelago."

"Faced with this attack, even Soul Formation cultivators would struggle. Unfortunately, you happened to meet me..."

Chen Xuan's words had not even finished when his figure suddenly blurred.

He didn't use any spells or abilities.

Yet, in the next instant, he appeared directly in front of the Sect Leader.

The Sect Leader's pupils contracted.

"Such strong physical strength!"

She couldn't help but whisper, realizing the opponent's speed was a result of their terrifyingly strong physique.

She instinctively raised her hand, attempting to form a defensive barrier in front of herself.

Unfortunately, it was already too late.

Chen Xuan calmly stretched out his hand.

There wasn't anything particularly astonishing about his movement.

It looked simple and ordinary.

Yet, in the eyes of the Sect Leader, that palm seemed to contain terrifying power.

Bang!

His palm landed directly on the Sect Leader's sternum.

The terrifying force erupted instantly.

Her body was sent flying backward like a broken kite, and a mouthful of blood was forced from her lips.

At the same time, the fully formed Nascent Soul within her Dantian began to crack.

Clearly, that single palm had caused her to suffer a serious injury.

Her aura rapidly declined.

The powerful momentum she had displayed earlier disappeared in an instant.

The Sect Leader was no longer a threat!

Seeing this, Chen Xuan did not waste any time.

His gaze turned toward the other ancestors.

Although Chen Xuan had already fought and defeated the Sect Leader, these cultivators hadn't even had enough time to process what had happened.

Everything had happened too quickly.

Only moments ago, they had been watching the Sect Leader use the Boundless Water to launch the sect's strongest attack.

They had believed that victory was within reach.

Yet, in the blink of an eye, their Sect Leader had been severely injured.

Before they could recover from their shock, Chen Xuan's gaze had already landed on them.

Chen Xuan naturally would not show them any mercy.

He calmly stretched out his hand and pointed his fingers toward one of the Nascent Soul cultivators.

The Great Yin-Yang Dao Origin was activated.

A profound aura instantly spread through the surrounding space.

A two-colored blade condensed in the air.

It didn't appear particularly large.

Yet, the moment it formed, an indescribable sense of danger filled the hearts of the surrounding cultivators.

The blade slashed through the air.

Before the targeted cultivator could react, it landed directly on his Dantian.

Pu!

The blade pierced through.

The Nascent Soul within his Dantian was sliced apart.

The cultivator's eyes widened as his aura disappeared almost instantly.

Chen Xuan did not stop there.

Another attack soon followed.

This time, a starry sky surged forth like a vast sea, covering the surrounding space.

The brilliant stars contained terrifying power as they swept forward.

Bang! Bang!

Under the stunned gazes of the Boundless Ocean Sect's disciples, Nascent Soul cultivator after Nascent Soul cultivator was killed.

There was no resistance, nor was there an opportunity to escape.

One moment, they were still powerful ancestors who had stood at the peak of the Boundless Archipelago. The next, their lives had already been extinguished.

Blood rained from the sky.

Demonic energy surged into the heavens, causing the entire island to tremble.

The disciples below were pale.

Many of them didn't even dare to breathe too loudly. Everyone knew that they would never forget this scene.

A single cultivator had visited the hegemonic force that had towered above the Boundless Archipelago for thousands of years.

At first, everyone had believed that this mysterious demonic cultivator would have no chance of surviving.

After all, this was the Boundless Ocean Sect.

It had countless powerful cultivators and possessed trump cards powerful enough to make Soul Formation cultivators tremble.

Yet, reality had completely surpassed everyone's expectations.

Even the Boundless Ocean Sect's strongest trump card could not defeat him.

Instead, the Sect Leader had been severely injured, while one ancestor after another had fallen.

A single person had destroyed an entire sect single-handedly!

--

The Sect Leader and ancestors of the Boundless Ocean Sect did not know it at that time, but another organization was facing the same fate.

It was just that, unlike them, who were facing a bloodthirsty demonic cultivator, that force was being attacked by a righteous cultivator.

--

A silver light flashed through the sky. A silver blade cut through time and space to create an astonishing force.

Blood followed its strike.

The last remaining ancestor of the Blood Devil Sect had been defeated!

Even after the sect had exhausted all of its trump cards, they had still been unable to defeat their great enemy.

The battlefield had already been reduced to ruins.

Looking at the handsome young man in front of him, whose white robe had remained completely unscathed despite the previous battle, the ancestor couldn't help but feel confused.

He knew that asking this question wouldn't change anything.

He was already certain that he would die. However, he would prefer to die knowing the reason.

"Your Excellency, how did our Blood Devil Sect offend you? Is it merely because of the dispute between the demonic and righteous factions?"

The ancestor questioned.

In response, the young man paused briefly, as though hesitating.

In reality, Chen Xuan was stunned.

It was only then that he recalled that he hadn't asked the Blood Devil Sect to hand over the person responsible for the attack on Cai Yao.

He had attacked right from the beginning, feeling they would never agree to his request.

Thinking of this and seeing the demonic cultivator corpses around him, Chen Xuan couldn't help but feel somewhat embarrassed.

He had been so focused on completing his objective that he had completely forgotten about this step.

However, he quickly recovered.

The Blood Devil Sect was a demonic force.

Just as its name suggested, its cultivators practiced by devouring blood.

Countless mortals had died at their hands over the years.

The methods used by these cultivators were enough to make even other demonic cultivators frown.

Faced with such people, Chen Xuan naturally wouldn't feel any guilt for killing them.

Even so, seeing the clear confusion on the ancestor's face and thinking that a Peak Nascent Soul cultivator deserved an explanation, Chen Xuan opened his mouth.

"It's not the Blood Devil Sect that offended me." He shook his head.

"It was only one of its ancestors."

"Huo Tiandu?"

"Huo Tandi?"

"I don't remember his exact name."

Hearing this "explanation," the ancestor's eyes shrank.

He wanted to scream.

You destroyed our sect without even knowing who you were looking for?

Is this something a normal person would do?

For a moment, the ancestor didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Unfortunately for him, he wasn't given the chance to decide between the two.

A flash of silver light appeared. Soon, a blade passed through his head.

A force seeped into his body, extinguishing his Nascent Soul.

The last cultivator of the Blood Devil Sect had died as well!

Within a few hours, two hegemonic forces had been destroyed!

Both had fallen at the hands of the same person!

--

The news of the destruction of the Boundless Ocean Sect and the Blood Devil Sect took some time to spread.

After all, the battles had been nearly instantaneous.

Although Chen Xuan hadn't killed the disciples of the two sects, merely killing those at the Core Formation realm and above, these people did not dare to say anything.

They were all running for their lives.

None of them knew whether that demon would suddenly change his mind and pursue them as well.

As such, it took several days before someone finally visited the sects and realized what had happened.

After the first person discovered the truth, the news spread rapidly.

Soon, both the Boundless Archipelago and the Blood Devil Archipelago were plunged into chaos!

Everyone wondered who could have done such a thing. Especially when they discovered that the two forces had been destroyed at almost the same time, everyone naturally believed that the incidents were related.

Rumors gradually spread.

Some claimed that the two sects had offended a great expert and thus caused their own destruction.

Some claimed that they had attempted to peer into the secrets of Heaven and had suffered divine punishment.

Others came up with all kinds of strange explanations.

In a matter of days, the rumors were countless.

No one knew that the culprit behind everything was still in the Boundless Archipelago.

Moreover, unlike the turbulent outside world, his expression remained completely calm.

He was staring at the spatial rings filled with the items from the two sects' treasure warehouses.

His eyes were filled with expectation.

'Both of these sects have existed for thousands of years.'

'Although their strongest members are currently at the Nascent Soul realm, they have both given birth to Soul Formation experts.'

'With such a long history, they are bound to have accumulated quite a few good things.'

'They are bound to have something valuable stored away...'

The more Chen Xuan thought about it, the more anticipation appeared in his eyes.

He rubbed his hands together with expectation and reached forward.
