Boom!
The next instant, terrifying ripples of spiritual power exploded like a waterfall between heaven and earth. The entire ancient Canghai City instantly turned into ruins. Fierce winds ran rampant; a mere wisp of their force sent countless Qin Clan disciples tumbling to the ground, vomiting blood and falling limp.
"Still falls a bit short." Ling Xiao watched the two colliding figures coldly, his expression remaining indifferent.
Qin Wei's realm was on par with Jin Yang's, but he hadn't comprehended a Dao Principle. His defeat was inevitable. Furthermore, the Qin Clan's ancient method, the Great Sun Sacred Body, was indeed powerful, but ultimately, an ancient method wasn't a bloodline. Compared to those with innate sacred bodies, Qin Wei was still weaker.
Sputter!
Amidst the flickering spiritual light, a figure fell from mid-air, drenched in blood, covered in fine, thread-like cuts as if sliced by sharp blades. It was the Qin Clan heir, Qin Wei! His eyes now held obvious terror, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
Too strong, this Jin Yang is simply too strong. If his Great Sun Sacred Body hadn't improved slightly, he would likely have died under the Cloud Millet Holy Son's palm just now!
"Qin Wei, die!!" Jin Yang looked utterly deranged. His figure flashed as he prepared to chase down Qin Wei. By now, he had figured it out; the current situation must have been jointly arranged by the Qin Clan and the Myriad Daos Demon Sect. Even the Qin Clan's initial overtures of friendship were likely just the beginning of this scheme! After all, back when he killed that previous Myriad Daos Demon Sect Young Master, Wan Rendí and the others had been far too calm. So, these Demon Sect people had been plotting this far ahead. This also explained why the Ling Clan heir, traditionally an enemy of the Qin Clan, had repeatedly saved Qin Leng. Heh, in this world, there are no permanent enemies!
At this point, sect concerns and the suffering of the people no longer mattered. Only a fight to the death could vent the hatred in Jin Yang's heart!
Buzz!
However, just as his figure appeared within a few zhang of Qin Wei, a strange buzzing sound suddenly came from the distant void. Between heaven and earth, thunderlight blazed, illuminating the firmament. The blinding radiance made the entire space seem to pale. Immediately after, a sun of thunder descended from the sky, directly suppressing Jin Yang's figure.
The latter spat blood, desperately circulating his Dao Principle power, barely managing to find a sliver of life within the terrifying assault. Yet, even so, the Cloud Millet Holy Son now clumsily/unsteadily crashed to the ground, his bones broken, muscles torn, his aura completely withered.
"Perfected… Dao Principle?!" Jin Yang looked up in terror. Above him, a figure in white robes stepped forward leisurely, a carefree smile naturally on his face.
"Such terrifying Dao Principle power!" "Truly worthy of being called peerless immortal demeanor!" The Qin Clan disciples exclaimed in admiration, their eyes filled with awe. Originally, in their eyes, their own clan's heir was among the top in the Eastern Territories. Yet, facing the Cloud Millet Holy Son, he had ended up with his sacred body shattered. But in the blink of an eye, Jin Yang, who possessed a Dao Principle and peerless immortal might, was suppressed by a single seal from Ling Xiao. This scene was sufficiently shocking, sending chills down everyone's spines. They couldn't help but wonder, was there anyone left in the entire Sacred Dynasty who could be a match for this Demon Sect Young Master? A young lord, crushing his entire generation!
"Thank you, Young Master." Qin Wei climbed up from the ground. Looking at the ferocious-faced Jin Yang in the distance, his eyes also held a trace of reverence. He had only heard rumors before that the Ling Clan heir was peerless in the world. He had treated such talk as a joke. In this world, who dared claim to be peerless? How many dared speak of being undefeated? But now it seemed, this Ling Xiao truly had the qualifications to aim for the pinnacle of the Sacred Dynasty!
"Ling Xiao, you seek death!!!" Jin Yang's face was dark. Spiritual light suddenly erupted from his entire body. He never dreamed in his wildest dreams that this new Demon Sect Young Master would be so formidable. Back in the day, when he was full of ambition, slaying the previous Demon Sect Young Master with his sword and achieving the position of Holy Son of the Immortal Sect, this Ling Xiao was merely a child. Yet in the blink of an eye, he had gained the power to crush the current generation. Jin Yang was unwilling, and he didn't believe it! He had just been careless moments ago. No matter how strong Ling Xiao was, he was still only at the Breakthrough Realm. Jin Yang was confident that within this realm, no one could kill him.
"If I could kill one Demon Sect Young Master, I can kill a second!" Taking a deep breath, Jin Yang's expression became calm again. The heart of a Son of Fate is indeed beyond ordinary people. Behind him, a towering whirlwind connected heaven and earth, its clear light brilliant, heralding destruction. A low, ancient immortal chant drifted over. The entire world seemed to fall silent for an instant. Only the sound of the wind remained, as if eternal and unchanging.
"My path of immortality is peerless in the world. In my eyes, you are merely stepping stones on the path to the pinnacle of the Great Dao." Jin Yang softly declaimed to the heavens. The void before him seemed on the verge of shattering.
"Peerless in the world? I'm afraid you misunderstand the meaning of 'peerless'? Never mind, today I will sever your immortal path, cut down your Dao, and let you understand the true meaning of those words." Ling Xiao smiled faintly. The thunder light around him suddenly blazed intensely. Then, he gently swung the ancient sword in his hand. The previously silent space suddenly reverberated with a buzzing hum. Within the endless thunder light, a sharp coldness seemed to mix in. An overwhelmingly domineering Dao Principle suddenly bloomed like sunlight, transforming into a beam of sword light that neatly sliced a fine line through the void before crashing down.
Hiss. Jin Yang's eyes widened. There was simply no way to avoid it. The whirlwind above his head was directly split down the middle, dispersing imposingly. Immediately after, his entire body likewise slid apart, falling to the ground. The break in his bones was smooth as a mirror. Even his internal organs maintained their vitality, only... they were split in two.
Gulp. Everyone stared at the scene before them. Besides fear, a thick sense of doom filled their eyes. This one sword strike, who in the world could block it? Forget Jin Yang at the Breakthrough Realm, even Divine Generals and Divine Marquises would likely have to temporarily avoid its edge, right?
"Your immortal path ends here." Ling Xiao laughed freely and easily, waving his hand to press down. Overwhelming soul light condensed into the shape of an ancient seal, directly and ruthlessly crushing Jin Yang into nothingness.
The Cloud Millet Holy Son, peerless in the world, today, also perishes!
Ding. Congratulations, Host, on successfully using the Luck Plunder Talisman. Plundered 2000 Luck Points from the Son of Fate. Obtained 20,000 Villain Points.

Ding. For killing a Son of Fate, received additional rewards: One Nine Revolutions Soul-Returning Pill.
One Top-Grade Array-Breaking Talisman.
Half a Realm Seed.
"Realm Seed? Half?" Ling Xiao's expression stiffened, a whirlwind seeming to swirl in his eyes.
Dammit! This system is too stingy! It actually rewarded half a Realm Seed? Does this mean he needs to kill another Son of Fate to nurture a complete, nascent realm?
As for that Nine Revolutions Soul-Returning Pill and Top-Grade Array-Breaking Talisman...
Heh. I'm invincible; you all can do as you please.
The entire space was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. All the Qin Clan disciples looked at the tall, straight figure in the sky with fearful reverence, swallowing hard. White robes fluttering, divinely handsome and peerless. His peerless immortal demeanor was on full display.
"The Young Master... is truly without equal in the world."
"Indeed!If not for the Young Master, we would likely have been trapped and killed by those Cloud Millet hypocrites today."
"No wonder Young Master Leng kept saying Young Master Ling Xiao was supremely righteous.I didn't believe it before! Now I see I was limited in my view."
Only after a long moment did cheers and exclamations erupt from the surroundings.
"There are still too many." Hearing the noise, Ling Xiao, however, glanced calmly at the crowd and suddenly shook his head with a laugh.
