Chapter 69

The surging energy suddenly stirred between heaven and earth, and the fierce flow of energy was clearly felt by everyone!

It was as if all the energy in the world had suddenly erupted in chaos, the wild and disordered sensation seemed ready to lose control and tear everything apart at any moment!

"What, what kind of spell is this!"

Many of the peak sect disciples, who had never felt such terrifying energy fluctuations, could not help but change their expressions. Chen Zizai gritted his teeth, equally shocked by the surging energy.

The power at the Heavenly Venerable realm was vastly different from that of the Earthly Venerable realm, not just a quantitative difference but a qualitative one!

This was true even at the first level of the Heavenly Venerable realm. If one reached the second level, the gap would be so great that it could be described as unimaginable for those at the Earthly Venerable realm.

The ability to cause such a violent and chaotic change in the energy between heaven and earth allowed Chen Zizai to be at least certain that Xu Wenfeng had reached the second level of the Heavenly Venerable realm, at the very least!

'This bastard—securing the top achievement in the trials was already in his pocket! Yet he kept up the pretense and toyed with us!' Realizing this, Chen Zizai felt both ashamed and angry, his teeth grinding in frustration. Yet, he lacked the means to even vent his anger against such an overwhelming force.

At the first level of the Heavenly Venerable realm, he still hoped that Xu Wenfeng would struggle to break through, and that he himself could catch up. But the second level was too far out of reach, leaving him with no chance of catching up by the age of eighteen.

The second level of the Heavenly Venerable realm, also known as the Second Heaven of the Heavenly Venerable realm, was a level where one could wield powerful magical artifacts, and with a sufficiently strong soul and a fused spirit beast, one could participate in interstellar wars.

Under the impact of this violent force, Chen Zizai was not the only one who felt ashamed and angry. Those who had initially resented Xu Wenfeng were also filled with shame and anger, but they could not bear to continue enduring this humiliation. They shouted, "Xu Wenfeng, if you're going to make a move, do it now!"

The crescent moon mark on Xu Wenfeng's forehead continued to glow, but he still gathered his strength without drawing it out...

To the south.

Young Master Xu led his group flying swiftly into the battlefield. Seeing the vast, dark shadows of the Shadow Clan, Xiao Xia rubbed her hands in excitement, envisioning the countless achievements within reach.

"Almost there, everyone, let's give Xu Wenfeng a good show of being a fool!"

"Don't forget to injure the Shadow Clan members at the Earthly Venerable level and leave them for Young Master Xu to kill."

Xiao Xia did not forget her old grudges. "If you encounter the prodigy Heng Yi, let him know. Young Master Xu doesn't plan to let him off easily."

Young Master Xu smiled smugly. Since Xu Wenfeng joined the peak sect, he had been unhappy, as no one could match his prominence.

In terms of cultivation, he admitted he was no match, but he could not bear to admit it. He had long been looking for an opportunity to make Xu Wenfeng lose face and show the power of his own methods.

He had many plans for this trial, and the situation had developed even better than he had estimated. Xu Wenfeng's arrogance and call for a decisive battle had handed him a golden opportunity!

What pleased him even more was that the thorn in his side, Heng Yi, could be dealt with at the same time, without any extra effort.

For Young Master Xu, the greatest pleasure was to trample those who dared to steal the limelight, to crush them, and to torment the beautiful women he desired. If there were also prodigies like Heng Yi, who were being trampled in the mud, writhing in pain and unable to struggle, the enjoyment would be even greater.

And now, it was the moment for his multi-faceted plan to come to fruition!

"Charge! I, Young Master Xu, am not interested in the achievements of the Earthly Venerable level Shadow Clan. I want the achievements of the Shadow Clan leader." Young Master Xu ordered proudly, and the captains who followed him responded respectfully.

"Young Master is generous, giving the achievements of the Earthly Venerable level Shadow Clan to everyone! Let's all work hard—"

Before them, the dark masses of the Shadow Clan were achievements within reach...

Those who had been fighting for a long time, surrounded by the Shadow Clan, were all anxious. The team trial beads told them how close Young Master Xu's group was.

"Xu Wenfeng, can you do it or not!" Many urged impatiently, unwilling to let Young Master Xu's group gain even a single achievement.

Just as everyone was on edge and restless, Xu Wenfeng's voice rang out in the trial beads, his usual calmness now tinged with a confident edge.

"I said, if you come late, don't blame me for being too domineering and hogging all the achievements."

Those surrounded by the Shadow Clan could not see the stars in the sky suddenly brighten dramatically—

Young Master Xu's group, eager for the imminent achievements, were puzzled when they saw the sudden brightness of the stars in the sky as Xu Wenfeng's voice rang out in the trial beads.

"The stars in the sky—"

Many noticed the strange brightness of the stars in the sky.

Before they could question what was happening—

The suddenly bright stars shot out beams of light, as if they had all crossed a spatiotemporal door in an instant, converging at a single point in the Seed Star's night sky, forming a massive blue light column!

Young Master Xu's eyes widened in shock, staring blankly at the rapid changes in the night sky. As a member of the Xu family, he understood the level of the spell!

'A Star Venerable level spell? Impossible... Xu Wenfeng cannot have already reached the Star Venerable level of cultivation! Absolutely impossible—' The shock made Young Master Xu's face pale, and the giant sword he carried dropped helplessly, almost slipping from his grasp.

He had schemed meticulously...

Those surrounded by the Shadow Clan could not see the changes in the sky, but they clearly felt the violent and chaotic energy in the world suddenly being drawn up by a force!

Before they could understand what was happening, a blue light column descended from the sky, flashing across the world in an instant!

All they saw was a vast expanse of blue light...

The blue light illuminated the world.

It illuminated the faces of the Seed Star humans kneeling on the ground, their expressions filled with reverence and awe...

It illuminated the eyes of Heng Yi and Gao Yue, who were flying swiftly through the air...

It illuminated the pale, bloodless face of Young Master Xu, and the faces of Xiao Xia and others, who had been filled with excitement moments ago but were now stunned and dumbfounded...

The moment the blue light illuminated the world.

When the light faded, the world was exceptionally clean and peaceful.

The dark masses of the Shadow Clan had all disappeared.

Yes, they had all vanished in the blue light.

"Did all the Shadow Clan die?" In the air, Heng Yi rubbed his eyes in disbelief, but he had not been mistaken; the Shadow Clan had indeed all disappeared.

Behind him, Hei Yue hung a smile that only she understood, her thoughts now entirely focused on Xu Wenfeng.

"The Divine Gate has such a terrifying spell..." Heng Yi could only marvel. Such power was simply unimaginable!

Hei Yue smiled calmly. "The Heavenly Venerable realm is where true strength lies. Strictly speaking, one must reach the second level of the Heavenly Venerable realm to truly harness the power of a spirit beast and fully utilize the strength of the Heavenly Venerable cultivation. With complete and excellent magical artifacts, the power of a rare and powerful spirit beast, and the ability to learn spells at the second level of the Heavenly Venerable realm, one can achieve such astonishing power. If the damage in interstellar wars was only at the Earthly Venerable level, wouldn't a battle for a star system take hundreds or even thousands of years?"

Heng Yi nodded in a daze, admiring her. "You know so much."

"I started earlier than you, of course." Hei Yue said no more, following Heng Yi without urgency.

Young Master Xu's face was almost bloodless, and he had not felt such humiliation in many years, nor had he faced such a heavy blow!

His meticulously planned scheme had ended with him being slapped hard by Xu Wenfeng at the moment he thought he had succeeded!

"Xu Wenfeng—how dare you play me!" The rage and humiliation made Young Master Xu roar in anger.

The voice in the trial beads made everyone realize that Young Master Xu was more furious than ever before!

Everyone thought Xu Wenfeng would mock him mercilessly, but they heard his calm and gentle voice say, "Young Master Xu likes the head of the Shadow Clan leader. The leader of the Shadow Clan, along with some of its flying remnants, is almost here. If Young Master Xu can kill it, I, Xu Wenfeng, will not interfere or snatch it."

These words stunned almost everyone, and Young Master Xu, disbelieving, quickly asked, "Is this true?"

"I, Xu Wenfeng, always keep my word." Xu Wenfeng smiled slightly at the four goddesses of Nanshang Mountain, signaling them to retreat.

As they flew away, the Divine Gate disciples, who were both respectful and fearful, and puzzled by his generous offer, could not muster any anger. They were stunned by his incredible strike and even more by the fact that everything he said had come true. They followed him straight to an island in the sea of blood.

Chen Zizai had already deduced the reason from Xu Wenfeng's words. Although he did not like Young Master Xu, he was still a member of the Xu family and did not want to see him die foolishly. He deliberately asked in the trial beads, "If the leader of the Shadow Clan is not at the Earthly Venerable level but at the Heavenly Venerable level, who else can kill it besides you?"

"Chen Zizai, what are you? A bastard trying to scare me? I, Young Master Xu, don't need your reminder!" The voice of Young Master Xu in the trial beads, filled with rage, made many secretly feel sorry for Chen Zizai, while others thought he was trying to flatter Young Master Xu and laughed at him for his foolishness.
