The two Heavenly Venerables fought back with desperate resolve, unleashing their strongest power. One of them swung a sword-type Heavenly Venerable spirit treasure, tearing open the void as he thrust straight toward Yi Tianyun.
Heavenly Venerable Nanming was even more domineering. Two Heavenly Venerable spirit treasures rotated around his body. One was defensive, forming an all-around barrier; the other was also defensive—double-layered protection!
The first was a lower-tier Heavenly Venerable spirit treasure, refined early on purely to keep himself alive.
Most Heavenly Venerables' first spirit treasure was defensive. Even after breaking through to the Heavenly Venerable realm, death was still a constant threat. That was why a defensive Heavenly Venerable spirit treasure was especially important.
But unexpectedly, Heavenly Venerable Nanming's second spirit treasure was also defensive. He truly favored defense, all to preserve his life.
Of course, there were more aggressive types as well. For example, the other Heavenly Venerable used an offensive spirit treasure—using offense as defense!
The two Heavenly Venerables launched a furious assault on Yi Tianyun, their momentum like a rainbow, powerful enough to shatter space itself.
Yi Tianyun completely ignored Heavenly Venerable Nanming. His figure flashed and vanished. In the next instant, he transformed into a sharp streak of light and pierced through from behind the other Heavenly Venerable.
"Puchi…"
The spear stabbed in, then flicked upward—instantly killing the opponent! He didn't even need a full exchange. He simply one-shot him with ease.
This was the advantage of free spatial movement—he could appear behind the target without them noticing, then strike in a sneak attack.
But this only worked inside this God Domain. In other God Domains, Yi Tianyun's suppression effect would disappear, allowing enemies to maintain far higher combat power.
Originally, Heavenly Venerable Nanming should have been extremely powerful when fully unleashed. Yet here, even when he erupted with everything he had, he could only barely reach mid-tier Heavenly Venerable level. This kind of suppression was terrifying.
Here, Yi Tianyun was a god. He could control everything!
"Die!"
After swinging his spear, Yi Tianyun immediately charged at Heavenly Venerable Nanming again without the slightest pause, pressing forward in one relentless breath to stop every invader.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A storm of heavy strikes rained down. Heavenly Venerable Nanming was forced to retreat again and again, completely unable to withstand Yi Tianyun's assault. The two Heavenly Venerable spirit treasures around him trembled as if they were about to collapse.
If he hadn't possessed two defensive Heavenly Venerable spirit treasures, he would have been one-shot long ago.
"This power is too strong! And my strength is being suppressed—what is going on?!"
Heavenly Venerable Nanming was about to go insane. Nothing was matching what he had been told. Then he remembered what Divine Lord Yu Qin had said, and his heart sank.
"Did she lie? That's impossible!"
"Old man, confused?" Yi Tianyun spoke while attacking, calmly revealing the truth.
"Before you die, I'll make it clear. Your four companions were killed by me long ago. Divine Lord Yu Qin is my ally. She tricked you a little and you all took the bait. How stupid."
The moment Heavenly Venerable Nanming heard that, rage surged into his chest and his aura instantly became chaotic. After learning the truth, he practically wanted to spit blood.
A single error in information had led to the deaths of nine Heavenly Venerables—including himself! No God Domain could bear such a price easily. It was a devastating blow.
"Bastard!!"
Heavenly Venerable Nanming roared. His offensive power suddenly surged as he hammered forward like a madman, trying to drag Yi Tianyun down with him. He began burning the planetary power inside his body, and his form started to crumble bit by bit—this was the consequence of forcing out everything.
"Now!"
Yi Tianyun's eyes turned cold. In the instant Heavenly Venerable Nanming exploded in fury, Yi Tianyun seized the opening in his defense. With a single spear swing, he pierced cleanly through the combined barrier formed by the two Heavenly Venerable spirit treasures, and the spear struck Heavenly Venerable Nanming directly.
He had deliberately provoked him. As long as Heavenly Venerable Nanming stayed in full defense, even with Yi Tianyun's current power, it would still take time to break through.
But once enraged, Heavenly Venerable Nanming shifted into offense. Even if he unleashed everything, Yi Tianyun could instantly catch the weakness—one spear, one kill!
"When your mind falls into chaos, everything ends."
Yi Tianyun stared at the stiffened Heavenly Venerable Nanming and said calmly,
"In the God Domain War, your Sacred Peak God Domain is destined to fail!"
"No… it will be you who fails…" Heavenly Venerable Nanming burst into laughter. Even in death, he refused to submit.
Yi Tianyun said nothing more. His spear swept through, drawing a perfect end to the battle.
"BOOM!"
Heavenly Venerable Nanming exploded, turning into countless grains of dust that vanished into the void, merging with the pitch-black emptiness.
"Ding! Successfully killed Heavenly Venerable Nanming. Gained 115,000 compressed EXP, 3,000 compressed Frenzy Points, and 3,000 Sin Points. Obtained Nanming Spirit Treasure, Nanming Divine Art, and Sacred Peak God Domain Global Information Record."
"Successfully killed an enemy above your level. Gained an additional 50,000 compressed EXP!"
Their cultivation arts and spirit treasures were named after their own titles. After reaching the Heavenly Venerable realm, some even began creating martial arts themselves, so what dropped naturally carried their own names.
"Sacred Peak God Domain Global Information Record…"
This wasn't the first time he had obtained an information record about Sacred Peak God Domain. Previously, he had looted records focused on cultivators and had already opened them long ago—they were extremely detailed.
From these records, he could see the full picture of Sacred Peak God Domain. After reading them, he understood why Sacred Peak God Domain was so confident—their strong experts were indeed numerous. Just the Divine Lord level alone exceeded a hundred! As for the Heavenly Venerable level, there were more than a dozen!
Of course, now that Yi Tianyun had personally killed nine Heavenly Venerables, Sacred Peak God Domain had sunk to rock bottom—basically half-crippled. As for how they would gather more Heavenly Venerables later, that would depend on their own ability.
"I wonder what they'll feel when they realize everyone is already dead?" Yi Tianyun sneered. Toward God Domains that colluded with the Slaughter God Domain and the Evil Spirit God Domain, he felt nothing but disgust.
And they had even wanted to forcibly suppress Heavenly Spring God Domain. No matter what, he was the Vice Domain Lord of Heavenly Spring God Domain.
After finishing them off, Yi Tianyun returned in great satisfaction, waiting for further news.
At the exact moment Heavenly Venerable Nanming was killed, Divine Lord Yu Qin—within Sacred Peak God Domain—brightened. She immediately sensed that her connection with Heavenly Venerable Nanming had been severed.
"He was really wiped out…" Even Divine Lord Yu Qin was shocked. She had thought it would take much longer, but not long had passed before the elders had already been annihilated.
She didn't linger at all and immediately chose to leave. Even though she was seriously injured, she forced herself to depart as quickly as possible—because if any flaw was discovered, she would be dead for sure.
