Cultivation: I Have a Skill Level Panel

"This... this!" Cultivators hundreds, even thousands of miles away endured the blinding pain as they gazed upon the scene unfolding high above the depths of the Qingyuan Mountain Range, their eyes filled with unprecedented shock. ’So this is a battle between Tongxuan True Monarchs! The power is earth-shattering, capable of shattering space at a moment’s notice and overwhelming the world.’

"This is just... too strong!" others muttered, their mouths hanging open in disbelief, as if witnessing the impossible. Even from a thousand miles away, they could still feel that destructive aura.

"That’s... the Master of All Beings, Bai Buran!"

"What?! It’s actually Old Demon Bai, the Master of All Beings, the one who preaches about the Mother of Non-Birth, the bliss of the afterlife, the Vacuum Homeland, and Western Heaven Bliss." A hint of shock appeared on one man’s face; he was clearly familiar with the name Bai Buran.

"That Five Elements Power... endlessly generating, ever-moving, eternally cycling... If I’m not mistaken, the other person must be the Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect, Wei Qingming!"

"What?!"

"Isn’t the Five Elements Sect from the Sea Continent? To think they’ve crossed such a vast distance to our Cang Province... What on earth is in this Secret Realm that it could attract such a powerhouse?" one person, clearly stunned by the news, couldn’t help but ask.

...

High in the void, the massive Palm Seal, imbued with the revolving power of the Five Elements, and the colossal Fist Seal, containing a Heaven-Reaching Blood Evil Dao Rhythm, annihilated each other.

"This Holy Origin Secret Realm is located in the Great Yuan, the territory of my All Living Beings Sect. It rightfully belongs to me! Wei Qingming, a man from the Sea Continent like you wants to meddle? Do you have a death wish?!"

With a cold snort, Bai Buran stepped through space. A terrifying sphere of blood spun in his palm, radiating a dreadful might before surging into the void. A crimson radiance then rose, seemingly powerful enough to shatter space itself.

He then splayed his fingers into a palm. Blood Evil Power surged forth, expanding rapidly to blot out the sky and sun. All light vanished as the world was plunged into a sanguine darkness. Then, a terrifying Palm Seal, seeming to contain a boundless sea of blood, descended upon Wei Qingming with crushing force!

"The Great Yuan, the territory of your All Living Beings Sect?"

"Hahaha, it would be very interesting if the Red Moon Divine Palace were to find out about this!" Wei Qingming sneered, but his hands moved without the slightest hesitation.

As he formed a hand seal, five colors blazed to life in the void. They transformed into five heaven-reaching pillars of light representing Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. Endlessly generating and impossibly powerful, they connected heaven and earth as they blasted toward the sky-blotting, blood-red Palm Seal!

RUMBLE!

The two terrifying attacks collided once more. The heavens and the earth trembled violently as space shattered like a pane of glass, sending horrific shockwaves ripping through the surroundings.

Below, towering ancient trees swayed and collapsed, and the ground itself was torn asunder by a web of jagged fissures.

BOOM!

After the earth-shattering exchange, both men’s bodies shuddered as they were thrown back thousands of feet. They hovered in the void, their robes whipping about them, their auras flaring.

"Wei Qingming, you’ve already earned the ire of the Red Moon Divine Palace by coming to another continent, and now you want to seize the Holy Origin Secret Realm as well? There’s no way you’re leaving here alive," Bai Buran said from the void, his eyes glinting darkly.

"You needn’t worry about me, Sect Leader Bai. Did you really think I would come to Cang Province by myself?

As for you, Sect Leader Bai... even if the Red Moon Divine Palace does show up, it won’t be the best outcome for you, either."

"How about this: if you voluntarily withdraw from *my* Holy Origin Secret Realm, I can guarantee your safe departure. What do you say?" Wei Qingming said, crossing his arms. His robes fluttered, his gaze as sharp as an eagle’s, and the Five Elements Reincarnation Dao Rhythm swirled around him.

"Bullshit! Since when did the Holy Origin Secret Realm belong to someone from the Sea Continent?

Besides,

if I want to leave, never mind you—not even the Celestial Refining Demon Sect could stop me!"

"Is that so!"

Suddenly, a voice that resounded through the heavens rose from the void.

Space rippled like the surface of a disturbed mirror. A young man in black robes emerged, his hair the color of blood and his eyes black and profound. He exuded an unparalleled, terrifying aura as he slowly trod upon the air, as if ascending an invisible staircase, naturally radiating a presence that suppressed the very heavens and earth.

"The Celestial Refining Demon Sect... Feng Xiu!"

He was one of the nine Peak Masters of the Ancient Peaks of the Celestial Refining Demon Sect. His Demonic Authority alone could suppress heaven and earth, making him a supremely powerful figure even among all the Tongxuan Realm experts in the entire Southern Wilderness!

Bai Buran felt the utterly terrifying aura from above and gritted his teeth. ’This pressure... he’s clearly stepped into the Tongxuan Realm Middle Stage!’

He, however, had only just entered the Tongxuan Realm Early Stage. The two of them were not in the same league at all.

’I never expected that even the Celestial Refining Demon Sect, one of the top three sects in the Southern Wilderness Domain, would show up. This Holy Origin Secret Realm must be even more important than I thought.’

’However, it looks like I’m out of the running now. A fortuitous encounter is good, but my life is more important.’

*Huuu...* Feeling a pressure like Mount Tai crushing his shoulders, Bai Buran was already preparing to flee.

"You’re Bai Buran?

Hah.

It doesn’t matter what your name is. Just die." Feng Xiu’s voice was casual, as if he were crushing an ant. With a simple lift of his hand, he pointed a finger into the void. Terrifying Dao Rhythm condensed around it, glowing with a profound demonic light.

BOOM! The next moment, a dark vortex crackling with arcs of lightning appeared in the void. From within this vortex, a colossal finger emerged—impossibly huge, carved with profound runes, and connecting heaven and earth. It crushed through layer after layer of space as it descended upon Bai Buran with overwhelming, world-ending force!
