Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

As the massive hand swept over it, a web of Light Patterns blossomed, and all the Sword Qi released by Beichen Xinghe's Giant Sword disintegrated.

Immediately, the Giant Sword formed from the seven fused swords was sent flying with a BUZZ. The seven Magic Swords scattered, their Sword Qi now dim and lifeless.

Through their spiritual connection, Beichen Xinghe felt as if he'd been struck by lightning. His face paled as he staggered back, immediately spitting out mouthfuls of blood.

After crushing Beichen Xinghe's Star River Sword, the massive hand swept over them like an autumn wind scattering fallen leaves. Wherever it passed, the attacks of several Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators disintegrated. A terrifying ripple of power swept out, sending them all flying. The cultivators from Thousand Lakes Mountain, Dongze Sect, and Wind Watching Cliff, being weaker, all coughed up blood.

WHOOSH!

All seven Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators shot backward, sheer terror filling their eyes.

"So powerful!" Beishan Jianxiong's face was filled with panic as he retreated again and again, not daring to get any closer.

'This man is too strong! His power completely surpasses that of a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator.'

As they retreated, a man in a Cloud Robe strode forward, appearing before Grand Elder Fang and the other disciples of Lingyun Sect.

"Who is this man? How can he be so powerful?" some of the young disciples from the Eight Great Sects exclaimed in horror.

The man before them wore a Cloud Robe, his long hair fluttering in the air. His gaze was sharp, exuding a supreme authority that made it impossible to meet his eyes.

His mere presence seemed to make the very air in the Void freeze solid.

The seven Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouses gradually stabilized themselves. When they looked up to face him, their expressions were utterly solemn.

"Yuan Huaitian!" Beichen Xinghe's eyes flashed, his expression turning grave.

'Although I'm a powerhouse at the Nascent Soul Divine Wheel Seventh Layer Realm, compared to Yuan Huaitian, I'm still far too weak.'

'After all, Yuan Huaitian is one of the few great overlords of the Southern Wilderness!'

'In the Southern Wilderness Martial Arts World, you could count the number of people who could contend with him on one hand.'

"Did you all come here so aggressively because you thought my Lingyun Sect had no one to stand up for it?" Sect Leader Yuan's eyes flashed. With a wave of his massive hand, Light Patterns flickered, and one by one, the Magic Swords and Supreme Treasures in the Void were drawn to his side. The faces of Beichen Xinghe and the others changed drastically. 'Those are our Lifebound Magical Treasures!'

'He'd spent an unknown amount of time forging these seven Magic Swords.'

'Afterward, he had expended a massive amount of energy nurturing them within his Dantian until they became his Lifebound Magical Swords.'

'And now, such Supreme Treasures had been seized by Yuan Huaitian. If he wanted to forge them again, who knew how many years it would take!'

WHOOSH!

One by one, Sect Leader Yuan retrieved the treasures that had just been sent flying.

"No..." The faces of the Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouses fell.

'Without these Supreme Treasures, our combat power will fall by at least thirty percent! How can we fight?'

In an instant, they all became incredibly anxious.

"The Sect Leader is amazing!" The people from Lingyun Sect were overjoyed.

'Just now, the auras of the Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouses from those other great sects were so overwhelming. It made us feel completely helpless.'

'But who would have thought that the moment our Sect Leader acted, he would crush them all. It just goes to show how incredibly powerful he is.'

For a time, everyone not only breathed a sigh of relief, but also regained a measure of confidence.

"Greetings, Sect Leader!" All the Lingyun Sect Elders bowed to Sect Leader Yuan.

Sect Leader Yuan waved his hand dismissively, saying nothing more.

"You arrived just in time," Grand Elder Fang said with a smile, showing no great surprise.

"Haha," Sect Leader Yuan laughed. "Even if I hadn't come, you could have handled these people if you'd gone all out."

Although Grand Elder Fang studied the Array Dao, he was also a powerhouse at the Nascent Soul Divine Wheel Ninth Layer Realm.

However, his offensive abilities were rooted in the Array Dao. While he could have handled the situation, it would have come at a considerable price.

Grand Elder Fang smiled, then narrowed his eyes. "So, what do you plan to do now?"

"Just as you said: if they want a war, then a war they shall have!" Sect Leader Yuan smiled, then his gaze shifted, locking onto Beichen Xinghe and the others. A murderous aura immediately began to emanate from him. At this moment, he was like a Monarch, ready to bathe a thousand miles in blood.

Such an aura was bone-chilling.

"We have to inform the elders in the sect about this," Beichen Xinghe sent a mental transmission to Beishan Jianxiong beside him.

"Yes!" Beishan Jianxiong nodded and immediately relayed the message.

The members of the other sects also sent transmissions immediately.

The situation had clearly spiraled beyond their control; they had no choice but to inform their respective sects.

'Otherwise, we won't be able to withstand Sect Leader Yuan's methods. I'm afraid we'll all perish here.'

Sect Leader Yuan paid no mind to their furtive actions.

His eyes flashed as he spoke in a deep voice, "All of you attacked. Did you think my Lingyun Sect was defenseless?"

He swept a domineering gaze over the Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouses from the various sects.

Instantly, these eight Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouses didn't dare to move a muscle.

'Has Yuan Huaitian already stepped into the Divine Mansion Realm?' Beishan Jianxiong thought, his face full of dread.

The Elders from Thousand Lakes Mountain and Wind Watching Cliff were trembling uncontrollably.

"Sect Leader Yuan, we had no intention of offending your esteemed sect," Elder Wen of Thousand Lakes Mountain hurriedly said. "It's just that my grandnephew was killed, and I was momentarily blinded by rage."

He was terrified, deeply afraid that Sect Leader Yuan would strike him down in a fit of rage.

"Yes, yes, we too were just momentarily overcome with grief," the Elders from Wind Watching Cliff and Dongze Sect added, nodding hastily.

"A fine 'momentarily overcome'," Yuan Huaitian said, his eyes flashing as he locked onto the three men. Then, his massive hand moved, striking out toward them.

WHOOSH!

From within his massive hand, the Five Elements manifested, forming three Qi Dragons that shot directly toward the three men.

WHOOSH!

The impact from the Qi Dragons sent the three Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouses flying, blood spraying from their mouths.

"Elder Zheng!"

"Elder Wen!" The members of their sects cried out, their faces etched with anxiety.

Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouses were few and far between in these sects; the fall of even one was a massive loss, so everyone was extremely worried.

However, although they were sent flying and their faces were pale, they still managed to regain their footing.

'We're not dead?' After stabilizing themselves, the Elders of the Three Great Sects were overjoyed. 'When Sect Leader Yuan attacked just now, our hearts were in our throats!'

'To have died here would have been such a senseless waste.'

"Thank you, Sect Leader Yuan, for showing mercy," the three men said, quickly cupping their fists.

Sect Leader Yuan's face was cold and stern, his authority on full display. Without even sparing the three a glance, his gaze shifted to the Elders of the Beiming Sword Sect.

The Beiming Sword Sect had a total of five Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouses present.

Such a lineup was quite formidable.

Yet, as Sect Leader Yuan's gaze fell upon them, a chill ran down their spines and a heart-stopping fear gripped them.

"Beichen Xinghe, Nascent Soul Divine Wheel Seventh Layer. Very strong indeed. Your Beiming Sword Sect is also very strong," the deep words came from Sect Leader Yuan's mouth. "However, as long as I am here, the people of Lingyun Sect will not be bullied." As he spoke, his massive hand moved. Light Patterns flickered in his palm, transforming into five Divine Techniques that shot toward the five men.

BANG, BANG!

The attacks were incredibly fast, striking each of the five men. Their terrifying momentum was petrifying.

Beishan Jianxiong and Beichen Xinghe frantically tried to dodge.

But they had only just begun to move when the attacks struck.

WHOOSH!

The five Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouses were all sent flying, the sound of breaking bones accompanying the blood they spat from their mouths.

Before Sect Leader Yuan, these men couldn't even withstand a single blow.

The gap between them was unimaginable.

As his body flew backward, Beichen Xinghe's eyes flashed. 'Such methods... Only someone in the Divine Mansion Realm could possess power like this.'
