“If my true body were here, I’d crush you like an insect!” Liu Ruyan’s voice was incredibly cold, brimming with disdain. Her true body was a One-rotation Star Venerate! Moreover, she was cultivating a secret art, one that would allow her to step into the Myriad Phase Realm once she obtained the Demon Fox Ah Li’s bloodline power! Her ultimate goal was the Ancient Ancestor Realm! This time, she had lost, but only her avatar. Her true body remained undefeated!
Liu Ruyan stared coldly at Lu Xuan. “If you have the guts, release this avatar. We can settle this another day!”
Lu Xuan scoffed. “You’re dreaming?”
The illusory great hand he had conjured tightened its grip, instantly crushing Liu Ruyan’s neck. Pfft! Blood splattered everywhere! Liu Ruyan’s body was ripped apart by the immense force, exploding into nothingness! Her avatar was utterly annihilated!
At the same time, in a cave dwelling near the distant Second Star Ring, Liu Ruyan’s true body sat cross-legged, spitting out a mouthful of essence blood. With her avatar destroyed, her true body suffered a backlash! Liu Ruyan’s face turned utterly frigid. “Fox Clan, it seems I’ve been too lenient with you! What comes next will be your nightmare!”
In the Beast Arena, everyone stared blankly at the blood mist in the air, completely stunned. City Lord Wang Qi kept repeating, “Ruyan, Ruyan is dead, Ruyan is dead.” Many in the arena found it hard to believe. Liu Ruyan’s avatar, just like that, gone? Not even a single hand remained! What a pity! That was Liu Ruyan!
Ah Li and her companions also watched the scene in a daze. She thought to herself, ‘This man’s combat power is truly heaven-defying! I feel like he’s only shown a fraction of his true strength!’ A powerful Fox Clan member sent a telepathic message to Ah Li, “Can our Fox Clan cooperate with this man?”
Ah Li thought for a moment, then shook her head. “We don’t understand this person at all! He might even be an Ancient Ancestor’s informant. Right now, I don’t even dare acknowledge Xiao Yin!”
At this moment, Lu Xuan looked at Ji Fuyao and the others, casually saying, “Let’s go.”
‘Cloudrise Holy Land still had Nine-star Supremes! He couldn’t instantly kill them yet! It would be awkward if he tried to show off and failed.’
Divine radiance flowed in Ji Fuyao’s eyes, and she tilted her snow-white neck slightly. “Alright, Master.”
The group gathered around Lu Xuan, preparing to leave, when City Lord Wang Qi, his face twisted in a ferocious sneer, snarled, “You killed someone from my Cloudrise Holy Land, and you think you can just walk away…” He crushed a communication jade slip! The Cloudrise Holy Land must have already received news of the three Seven-star Supremes falling! Their powerful experts were on their way!
But before Wang Qi could finish, Lu Xuan casually flicked his sleeve. A heaven-reaching divine light shot out, instantly piercing a bloody hole in the City Lord’s forehead. He stared at Lu Xuan, his face etched with shock. “You… you’re all dead…” His corpse toppled backward, instantly dead!
With a thought, Lu Xuan gathered all the scattered storage rings in the arena and handed them all to Ji Fuyao. Ji Fuyao broke into a happy smile. Lu Xuan looked at the others. “Where’s the City Lord’s Mansion? Point the way.”
The crowd instinctively pointed towards the City Lord’s Mansion, their faces blank, unsure what Lu Xuan intended. Lu Xuan simply waved his sleeve in the direction of the City Lord’s Mansion. A heaven-reaching great hand materialized, blotting out the sky and sun, like a nascent star. Terrifying Rule Power surged, tearing space and shaking the void wherever it passed. The Star-Plucking Hand! The Starry Sky Power from beyond Cloud City was directly drawn in, all surging into this single palm, growing ever more immense! This terrifying, peerless power spanned tens of thousands of miles, appearing instantly above the City Lord’s Mansion and seizing downwards.
“Boom!” The City Lord’s Mansion’s defense array immediately lit up, countless dazzling array patterns shimmering like stars. But it was useless! In an instant, all the array patterns shattered! Lu Xuan’s Void Handprint directly seized the City Lord’s Mansion. Under his Insight Eye, the City Lord’s treasury was instantly revealed. Lu Xuan simply grabbed the treasury, sweeping away all of the City Lord’s cultivation resources. He handed them over to Ji Fuyao as well!
Everyone was stunned. These were the cultivation resources of Cloud City’s City Lord’s Mansion! Enough to cultivate several Six-star Supremes! Just like that, they were plundered! But at this moment, who dared to stop him?
The next instant, Lu Xuan activated his heaven-reaching array patterns. A profound, mysterious power enveloped Ji Fuyao and the others, and they vanished from the spot. The many cultivators in the arena exchanged bewildered glances! Just like that, they left!?
But at this moment, everyone knew that powerful experts from Cloudrise Holy Land would surely descend. They scattered in a panic! The arena descended into chaos! No one wanted to face the wrath of Cloudrise Holy Land right now! If Cloudrise Holy Land became enraged, they would all likely suffer an undeserved calamity! Fortunately, Cloud City wasn’t too close to Cloudrise Holy Land, so even the Holy Land’s experts wouldn’t arrive immediately!
“Boom, boom, boom!” Not just the Beast Arena, but countless cultivators throughout Cloud City received the news! Flee! Everyone was abandoning Cloud City! Countless divine rainbows shot out from the city, and numerous Cloud Ships outside Cloud City were activated, streaks of divine light painting the starry sky as they rushed in all directions.
In the Beast Arena, many great demons also completely broke free from their restraints and escaped! No more being treated like cattle! This was a rare chance amidst the chaos! The three great demons, including the Titan Ape Ancestor, also escaped directly from their underground cells! They looked back at the Beast Arena. “Farewell, prison!” This time, they would flee far away! Back to the Tai Chu Realm!
The Profound Tortoise Ancestor exclaimed, “Damn it! Let’s just enjoy ourselves back in the Tai Chu Realm. The outside world is too cruel!”
The Giant Insect Ancestor’s face was ferocious. “But before we leave, we must refine away these marks on our bodies!”
The Titan Ape Ancestor said, “I know a place, a Black Market, where they conduct business. They can refine away the Cloudrise Holy Land marks on our bodies!”
The three Demon Lords immediately left the Beast Arena. They had made their decision! To return to the Tai Chu Realm and retire! The Titan Ape Ancestor was already fantasizing, “Damn it, this is just outside the Fourth Star Ring, and it’s already this brutal! I can’t imagine what life is like in the Third Star Ring, the Second Star Ring!”
The Giant Insect Ancestor snarled, “Only that slut Liu Ruyan is living well. Damn it, we’re all beings from the Tai Chu Realm, yet she never gave us any satisfaction! It all went to outsiders!”
The Profound Tortoise Ancestor coughed dryly. “Stop thinking about Liu Ruyan. She’s already beyond our reach!”
The three Demon Lords immediately flew out of Cloud City. Their destination was a Black Market. There, they could find a transaction to help them refine away the marks on their bodies! Otherwise, even if they fled to the ends of the earth, Cloudrise Holy Land would still drag them back. And their fate would be truly miserable! The three Demon Lords conjured a Cloud Ship and flew out of Cloud City. The Cloud Ship cut through the starry sky, radiating dazzling light. The Titan Ape Ancestor spread his arms wide, bathing in the Spatial Gale, tears of excitement streaming down his face. “The clear wind on my shoulders, like a man truly free!”
