One must understand, Elder Sima Xuance had once escaped the Tianchen Token, a supreme treasure of the Tianchen Empire! What was the Tianchen Token? A supreme artifact personally bestowed by the Tianchen Emperor, representing the absolute authority and prestige of the Tianchen Empire! Everyone knew Cloudrise Holy Land was backed by the Tianchen Empire, a dominant force in the Third Star Ring. Their powerhouses were high-rotation Star Venerates, a realm where 'one rotation, one world' held true, allowing cultivators to refine Star Cores and accelerate their progress multiple-fold! Cloudrise Holy Land's domineering reign across the Fourth Star Ring stemmed entirely from the Tianchen Empire's backing. They were loyal hounds to the Third Star Ring, and in turn, treated everyone else in the Fourth Star Ring as their own subservient dogs. This unwavering obedience was their key to maintaining their position as the Fourth Star Ring's 'gatekeepers' for countless years. Without it, numerous other factions would have long since usurped their power! Adding to their prestige, Liu Ruyan, a powerful Elder of the Charm Sect in the Second Star Ring, also shared a history with Cloudrise Holy Land, further bolstering their cosmic standing. Thus, every single expert from Cloudrise Holy Land present was utterly stunned. The White Robe Supreme had utterly disregarded the Tianchen Empire's prestige! Even if he was a Star Venerate, what did that matter? Could he truly stand against the might of Cloudrise Holy Land? Impossible! At that very moment, Sima Xuance's severed head, still clutching the immense Tianchen Token, tore through the void. Imbued with Lu Xuan's potent Rule Power, it transformed into a blazing river of stars, streaking directly towards Cloudrise Holy Land's main realm. The Starry Sky itself roared in protest at its passage. Across the myriad small realms bordering the Fourth Star Ring, Supreme experts extended their divine senses, their curiosity piqued by the cosmic disturbance. The moment they perceived the scene, they were utterly aghast! “The Tianchen Token!” one exclaimed, his voice trembling. “And isn't that Sima Xuance's head? Didn't he just lead a grand army to invade the Tai Chu Realm?” Another gasped, “That Fox Clan White Robe Supreme… he's truly audacious! To use the Tianchen Token to kill Sima Xuance himself!” A chorus of horrified whispers followed: “Insane! Utterly insane! This isn't just Cloudrise Holy Land's wrath we're talking about now! The entire Tianchen Empire will be enraged!” A wave of profound dread washed over every Realm Lord. Should those terrifying entities from the Third Star Ring descend upon the Fourth, a cataclysmic bloodbath was inevitable! The reason was simple: the powers of the Third Star Ring regarded those in the Fourth as nothing more than ants. They would refine countless stars into Star Cores without a second thought. Years ago, the Eighth Prince of the Tianchen Empire, a scion of the Third Star Ring, had casually transformed thousands of stars into Star Cores for his amusement. Who dared to intervene? To them, it was merely a game! Numerous Supreme experts watched the Tianchen Token's radiant trajectory, their divine senses trailing from a safe distance. The closer it drew to Cloudrise Holy Land's main realm, the greater the cosmic upheaval it caused. Sima Xuance's head, a grim herald! Cloudrise Holy Land's main realm, Cloudrise Star, was uniquely pierced by the Fourth Star Ring. Terrifying Rule Power surged across the star, with half residing within the Star Ring and half outside. This granted Cloudrise Holy Land an immense advantage: the ability to harness a portion of the Star Ring's power! This was their true, unshakeable strength. Though the Fourth Star Ring paled in comparison to the First, it still contained the residual power of an Ancient Ancestor. Once Cloudrise Holy Land activated this power, who could possibly stand against them? A rival faction once dared to challenge them, even reaching Cloudrise Star itself, only to be utterly annihilated when Cloudrise Holy Land unleashed the Star Ring's might. Such was their power! Within Cloudrise Holy Land's main realm, numerous powerhouses were deep in cultivation. Suddenly, a thunderous boom ripped through the heavens! Crack! The void tore open, and space itself twisted violently. Sima Xuance's head, still clutching the Tianchen Token, burst forth from a Spatial Rift, plummeting towards them like a malevolent meteor. “Who dares invade my Cloudrise Holy Land?!” a furious roar echoed. Boom! A grey-robed Old Man, a Nine-star Supreme, instantly materialized, his power surging like a tempestuous tide as he lunged towards Sima Xuance's descending head. The grey-robed Old Man, brimming with arrogance, swept his sleeve, unleashing a heaven-shaking palm print to intercept the 'meteor'. Boom! The two forces clashed, and to his utter disbelief, his formidable palm print shattered instantly. His face contorted in horror, he tried to retreat, but it was already too late. The Tianchen Token, now a harbinger of death, sliced through him with terrifying killing intent, severing his head. “No! No…!” his desperate screams tore through the void as his headless corpse plummeted from the sky. The Cloudrise Holy Land experts watched, utterly dumbfounded. What in the heavens was happening?! Boom! The Tianchen Token, now impaling both Sima Xuance's and the grey-robed Old Man's heads, plunged into the very core of Cloudrise Star. CRACK! The earth groaned, tearing open for a million miles, a chasm radiating Lu Xuan's profound Dao and Rhyme. The faces of the Cloudrise Holy Land cultivators twisted in a mixture of disbelief and fury. “Unacceptable! This was the work of that White Robe Supreme?!” one shrieked. “Even Elder Sima Xuance is dead!” another gasped. “He's actually a Star Venerate!” Boom! The Cloudrise Holy Land Holy Lord, his face a mask of rage, glared into the cosmic void. “White Robe Supreme! To dare use the Tianchen Token for murder, your Fox Clan is doomed! You will die!” Then, Lu Xuan's calm voice echoed through the cosmos, utterly unbothered. “Stop your squawking. Cloudrise Holy Land will be annihilated within three days. I said it.” The Holy Lord roared, “Presumptuous!” But Lu Xuan simply dismissed him, his attention already elsewhere. Meanwhile, back in the Tai Chu Realm, Lu Xuan's effortless, instantaneous annihilation of two Nine-star Supremes left the hundreds of Cloudrise Holy Land experts aboard their Cloud Ships utterly petrified. Not a single soul dared to stir. The White Robe Supreme was truly terrifying! A profound silence descended, broken only by the sound of hundreds of bodies hitting the ground. Thump! Thump! Every single Cloudrise Holy Land expert knelt before Lu Xuan, trembling. A grey-robed Old Crone, drenched in sweat, pleaded desperately, “White Robe Star Venerate, please spare us! We were forced into this! Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor. Please, just let us go!” Lu Xuan merely chuckled dismissively, then casually waved his sleeve. BOOM! A terrifying, peerless Divine Radiance, like a cosmic river, erupted forth, instantly engulfing every single invading expert. The very heavens were painted in Lu Xuan's brilliant Divine Radiance! Every cultivator felt their scalp prickle with primal fear. The grey-robed Old Crone shrieked, “If we all die, you will incur immense karmic sin!” Lu Xuan offered no words in response. In that instant, every Cloudrise Holy Land expert frantically unleashed their most potent life-saving artifacts. No one wanted to die! Dazzling shields erupted around them, Array Disks spun, Defensive Talismans flared, and Ancient Spirit Weapons pulsed with desperate Divine Radiance. But it was all utterly useless! Completely futile! BOOM! CRACK! Every single defense, no matter how formidable, shattered like fragile paper before Lu Xuan's overwhelming Divine Radiance. Pffft! Pffft! Pffft! In a horrifying display, every expert present instantly disintegrated into Blood Mist! Annihilated in a single, effortless strike! Witnessing this spectacle, the cultivators of the Southern Wilds felt their very souls tremble. Terrifying! Utterly terrifying! It seemed the White Robe Supreme had been far too gentle with the Southern Wilds' own factions! He truly was so gentle! Upon reflection, the White Robe Supreme had never unleashed such a brutal, instantaneous slaughter on so many powerful cultivators before. Even the great demons of the Demon Court had been dispatched with a certain… gentleness! After a stunned silence, a thunderous roar erupted from the Southern Wilds' observers. “The White Robe Supreme is invincible!” “The White God is invincible!” The chant swelled, echoing across the realm: “If Heaven hadn't given birth to Peak Master Lu, the Southern Wilds would be like a long night!”
