TCH!

With a flick of his finger, Xuan Bird shot a streak of light into the sky, intercepting the astonishing sword gleam.

BOOM!

The two forces collided with a thunderous explosion, then simultaneously vanished.

"These people from the Nether Immortal Cave… they're all so stubborn."

Xuan Bird helplessly shook his head.

Yu Long is a decent young man; he's always understood forbearance. Unfortunately, those fellows are far too aggressive.

"My Lord, shall I kill them?"

Gazing at the Nether Immortal Cave cultivators who had formed a large array above, a cruel glint flashed in Xuan Bird's eyes.

With his Eternal Realm cultivation base, killing these Life and Death Realm cultivators would be as easy as flipping his hand.

Even if they formed an unparalleled killing array, they would still be no match for him.

"There's no need for you to act."

Sensing the killing intent in Xuan Bird's mind, Ye Yun smiled faintly and glanced upwards.

Tiny, star-like runes surfaced in his eyes. In that instant, Ye Yun activated the Sky Exterminating Phantom Eye.

In that moment, all the cultivators from the Nether Immortal Cave, including their clan Elders, were instantly frozen in mid-air.

They plunged into a hazy, dreamlike world, unable to extricate themselves, completely forgetting the hatred before them.

"It's quiet now."

Ye Yun smiled and descended towards the seven black coffins in the valley.

Until certain matters were confirmed, Ye Yun did not wish to engage in a massacre.

Killing these minor Life and Death Realm and Destiny Realm cultivators would achieve little.

Seeing his Lord use a Great Divine Power to effortlessly immobilize everyone present without spilling a drop of blood, Xuan Bird's eyes filled with envy.

Yu Long, on the other hand, was bewildered.

He couldn't understand what had just happened.

Xuan Bird paid him no mind and, with a swift movement, flew after Ye Yun.

A good while later, Yu Long finally came to his senses as if waking from a dream.

He seemed to understand... The senior before him, who was like a spirit, had just used a Great Divine Power to immobilize all the Nether Immortal Cave cultivators in mid-air.

Could this senior be a mighty cultivator of the Eternal Realm?

Yu Long speculated nervously.

He hurriedly descended, also arriving beside the seven coffins.

"Heh, seven coffins indeed…"

"Is this another Seven-star formation?"

Ye Yun gently touched one of the coffins and remarked thoughtfully.

What else does this mastermind have in store?

Faint traces of seals remained on these coffins, isolating them from any prying senses.

Ye Yun lightly tapped with his hand, dispelling the seal on one of the coffins.

With another flick of his hand, the coffin lid flew off.

Inside this coffin lay a desiccated corpse.

"This is…?"

Upon seeing the attire on the desiccated corpse, Xuan Bird gasped, his expression drastically changing.

This dried corpse wore a distinctive black robe, which he recognized at a glance—it was a Daoist robe of the Dragon God Sect.

Two golden dragons were embroidered on the left and right sleeves, and on the right side of the chest, three words were embroidered.

"Dragon God Sect!"

"My Lord, why would there be cultivators from my Dragon God Sect here?"

Xuan Bird gazed at the desiccated corpse, unable to discern its identity. His heart surged, emotions spiraling out of control, and tears instantly gushed forth.

Looking at this desiccated corpse, Ye Yun recognized it at once.

Tang Hu.

One hundred thousand years ago, he was a Dharma Protector Elder of the Dragon God Sect, at the First Level of the Eternal Realm.

"How could this be? Don't they even spare the dead?"

Ye Yun murmured to himself as he opened each coffin one by one. The seven corpses lying within were all dressed in the attire of the Dragon God Sect.

And Ye Yun identified each of them.

These were all Elders of the Dragon God Sect, great cultivators of the Eternal Realm.

He hadn't thought that after the Dragon God Sect was annihilated, their bodies would be moved to this place.

Tears glistened in Ye Yun's eyes.

An indescribable emotion weighed on his heart, making it difficult to conceal his profound sorrow.

Ye Yun gently flicked his hand, and a silver point of starlight suddenly appeared on the left chest of each of the seven corpses.

A total of seven starlike points formed a Seven-star formation.

Ye Yun silently sensed this Seven-star formation and suddenly let out a cold sneer. "You even want to exploit the little remaining value of the dead? Are you that desperate to exhaust the Dragon God Sect's destiny?"

"My Lord, what on earth is happening?"

Xuan Bird asked nervously, not understanding Ye Yun's words.

Ye Yun shook his head.

He did not explain the intricacies to Xuan Bird.

This matter had far-reaching implications, and Ye Yun did not plan to involve them.

These seven Elders of the Dragon God Sect had died in battle protecting the Sect. Afterward, their bodies were moved here, into this ancient cave, and a Seven-star formation was laid out using them.

This Seven-star formation contained extremely profound Destiny Manipulating Divine Arts. Its principles were remarkably similar to those of the seven small arrows stuck into the Black Dragon in that underground palace; it too was plundering the Dragon God Sect's destiny.

Be it the successors of the Dragon God Sect or its artifacts, once "fixed" by such Destiny Manipulating Divine Arts, the activation of the formation would continuously drain the Sect's destiny.

The Eternal Level Dragon God Sect was the only sect on the Cangnan Continent whose destiny was intertwined with that of the continent itself.

The destiny of the Cangnan Continent, in other words, was the destiny of the Dragon Hidden Continent—which was also the destiny of the Dragon Clan Ancestral Land.

The Dragon Clan Ancestral Land had been subtly protecting the Dragon God Sect, allowing it to continuously grow stronger.

Yet, the mastermind behind the scenes used various methods—either killing the Dragon God Sect's successors or employing profound Destiny Manipulating Divine Arts—to plunder the Dragon God Sect's destiny, and even the destiny of the Dragon Clan Ancestral Land.

Their methods were vicious and cruel, every step a carefully laid trap, every move startling.

If not for Ye Yun's profound foundation, even the Ten Ancient Super Divine Dragons reborn would have been no match for this mastermind.

The mastermind was simply too powerful.

They possessed power, they possessed schemes, layer upon layer of plots, and inexhaustible tactics, all aimed at the complete destruction of this Dragon Clan Ancestral Land.

Once destroyed, no new dragons would ever be born on this continent.

The Dragon Clan's lineage would then be truly severed.

…

Numerous thoughts flashed through his mind. Gazing at the desiccated corpses, Ye Yun felt a complex mix of emotions. With a light wave of his hand, he closed the coffin lids once more.

As for the Seven-star formation formed by the seven points of light, Ye Yun grasped it in his hand.

This formation was mystical, involving profound Destiny Manipulating Divine Arts, even more intricate and deep than the Nail-Head Seven Arrow Book in his Primordial Warehouse.

In this aspect of destiny manipulation, Ye Yun had to admit his own inferiority.

However, Ye Yun could vaguely guess that this Seven-star formation, through the seven Eternal Realm Elders of the Dragon God Sect, intercepted the destiny of the Dragon God Sect and transformed it into abundant Spiritual Energy that seeped out from the valley, thereby forming the rich Spiritual Energy within this ancient cave.

It had to be said, this Seven-star formation was truly powerful, seemingly even a fraction stronger than the seven small arrows.

RUMBLE!

Following a colossal rumble, the entire Nether Immortal Cave began to shake violently, and countless rocks rained down from above.

"What's happening?"

Xuan Bird nervously watched the rock ceiling above. He could actually sense an Eternal Realm aura.

Ye Yun's eyes flickered, piercing through eons in a single glance.

Deep within a section of the rock wall above the Nether Immortal Cave, he saw an enormous Dragon Egg. It was trembling violently, as if the giant dragon within could break out of its shell at any moment.
