Desolate Devouring Art

The sect master of the Grand Unity Sect had ordered Sang Lu to kill Liu Wuxie, but he didn't instruct him to go to such extremes. After all, such an approach would only provoke widespread resistance. If the Grand Unity Sect were to cause a scene during the Myriad Race Ceremony, they would become public enemy number one.

The Myriad Race Ceremony still had the alchemy event and the Divine Sun-Shooting Tower ahead. If the Grand Unity Sect were to make a fuss, they would definitely become everyone's target during the Sun-Shooting Tower event.

Many had been nursing grudges against the Grand Unity Sect due to its aggressive expansion over hundreds of thousands of years, and those grudges had been simmering beneath the surface all this while.

People remained silent due to the Grand Unity Sect's overwhelming foundation and the presence of more than one immortal. Rumors even claimed the sect had forged an immortal artifact that could link to the Celestial Realm.

When the Immortal Gate opened, the Grand Unity Sect had sent many disciples inside, and if any of them had survived, they would certainly be powerful immortals by now.

As it stood, only the Grand Unity Sect had ties to the Celestial Realm, which was the main reason they inspired such fear. Despite their power, however, no one would back down when their interests were at risk.

Many races believed they could win the talisman event, so they wouldn't let the Grand Unity Sect disrupt the proceedings. This placed the Grand Unity Sect in a dilemma. If they were to retreat, it would damage their prestige and invite public condemnation.

When the Grand Unity Sect learned Liu Wuxie had killed over five hundred of their experts, the higher-ups lost all sense and demanded his death.

"Everyone, let's take a step back. This is the Myriad Race Ceremony, where casualties are inevitable," said a representative from the Absolute Frost Palace. Everyone knew of the deep feud between the Heavenly Dragon Sect and the Grand Unity Sect, but experts from other planets nodded in agreement upon hearing that remark.

Every race had suffered casualties—were they all going to seek vengeance now? Thousands had died in the first two events, and the Grand Unity Sect had lost people as well.

A tide of voices rose, forcing the Grand Unity Sect to back down. The elven race and the giant clan were especially vocal, calling the Grand Unity Sect's behavior unworthy of a superpower.

Their actions were humiliating and lacked the dignity of true power.
