573: Chapter 569 Difficult to Achieve Greatness

He knew clearly in his heart that there was no one else besides his Divine Realm master, Dawn Moon, who could set up such a terrifying invisible barrier and easily block his full-strength strike!

"Hmph!"

A bone-chilling, emotionless voice suddenly boomed within Liu Yan's Divine Soul. That voice carried thick anger and reprimand, exploding like a thunderclap against Liu Yan's Divine Soul, causing his whole body to tremble. His Divine Soul was in such excruciating pain that it nearly dissipated directly.

"Shut up!" Dawn Moon's voice was icy. "Going there now is just seeking death! Someone from the Divine Realm is currently using their Divine Sense to observe Murong Gu. If you go to kill him now, you will not only harm yourself but also implicate me!!"

Dawn Moon had long discovered that the Cultivation Technique Murong Gu possessed was actually the technique of her master, the Heavenly Dao Lu Chen!

In the Eternal Continent, she wouldn't care if Liu Yan tortured or killed anyone else; she would even support him in secret.

But Murong Gu was absolutely off-limits! If Liu Yan accidentally killed Murong Gu and enraged Lu Chen, then let alone Liu Yan, even she would be completely erased by Lu Chen, with not even a trace of her Divine Soul remaining!

She had strictly forbidden Liu Yan from entering the Immortal-Falling Valley and prohibited him from competing for the Ancient Secret Cave, all because she feared Liu Yan would cause trouble and implicate her.

But she never expected that Liu Yan would be so brainless as to try and provoke Murong Gu, wanting to seize Murong Gu's Blood Realm—this was simply seeking his own death!

Liu Yan was both terrified and indignant: "Great Master, is there really someone in this world more powerful than you? You are a mighty figure of the Divine Realm with unfathomable strength; why must you fear that person?!"

*Slap!*

A slap tore through the Void Realm and struck him. The terrifying power instantly swept through Liu Yan's entire body.

Liu Yan felt the bones in his entire body being instantly crushed. His body fell to the ground uncontrollably, twitching frantically as he spat out mouthfuls of blood. This slap was condensed from Dawn Moon's Divine Sense and possessed infinite power. It nearly caused this terrifying Devil Head, who had ruled the Eternal Continent for five thousand years, to fall apart and have his Divine Soul extinguished.

"Seeking death!!" Dawn Moon's voice became even colder and more furious. "Don't ask about what you shouldn't ask! Don't touch the people you shouldn't touch! I will say this one last time: you are not allowed to touch a single hair on this Murong Gu's head in the future! If I find out you dare to scheme against him or the Blood Realm, I will erase you directly and ensure you never find peace in the afterlife!!"

Liu Yan gritted his teeth and crawled on the ground with difficulty. Facing the sky, he kowtowed respectfully, his voice trembling: "Yes... yes, Master... I understand... I won't dare to do it again... I will never again scheme against Murong Gu or the Blood Realm..."

At this moment, his heart was filled with fear and resentment. He feared Dawn Moon's power, but he was resentful that the 'fat meat' in his hands had flown away and that his chance to ascend to the heavens in one step had been shattered.

But he had no choice; he could only obey Dawn Moon's orders.

Hearing Liu Yan's answer, the fury in Dawn Moon's heart subsided slightly.

The invisible barrier blocking Liu Yan instantly vanished, and the terrifying pressure weighing on him also dispersed.

Liu Yan slowly climbed up from the ground, his body covered in injuries, his aura chaotic, and blood still hanging from the corner of his mouth.

"Murong Gu..." Liu Yan roared in his heart, "I, Liu Yan, will remember today's humiliation and resentment! One day, I will personally seize your Blood Realm and slay you with my own hands!"

He knew that for a short time, he could not scheme against Murong Gu, and could only bury his resentment deep in his heart.

Exasperated, Liu Yan's figure flashed as he sped toward a city not far away.

The anger and resentment in his heart needed an outlet. Having ruled the Eternal Continent for five thousand years, when had he ever suffered such a grievance or been rebuked like this?

This city was named Blazing Sun City, a medium-sized city in the northern part of the Eternal Continent. With a population of hundreds of thousands, it seemed ordinary but was actually secretly controlled by the second-largest cultivation School on the Eternal Continent—the Blazing Sun Sect. The Blazing Sun Sect was powerful with many Disciples, and its reputation on the Eternal Continent was illustrious, second only to the number one cultivation School, the Qingyun Sect.

Liu Yan flew above Blazing Sun City and looked down at the prosperous city, a cold murderous intent and violence flashing in his eyes. The anger and resentment in his heart exploded instantly. He let out a roar, his voice loud and cold, echoing throughout Blazing Sun City: "Blazing Sun Sect, how dare you build a city in violation of the rules and oppress the common people! I shall seek justice for them!!"

As his voice fell, he circulated the Black Lotus World-Ending Art with all his might. A world-destroying black power erupted from his body, surging toward Blazing Sun City like a tsunami!

The black power swept through, and the walls of Blazing Sun City were instantly crushed like paper. Houses collapsed one after another, and deep, bottomless fissures cracked open in the ground, with black flames gushing out from them, incinerating everything.

The hundreds of thousands of citizens in the city were thrown into a panic, screaming and fleeing in all directions, but their speed was far too slow before Liu Yan's power. Wherever the black power passed, the citizens fell to the ground, turning into ashes and vengeful spirits. Cries, screams, and desperate howls intertwined in a scene too horrific to witness.

Liu Yan stood in mid-air, looking coldly at the tragedy below. There was no trace of pity in his eyes, only a thick sense of violence and the pleasure of venting his anger.

Overnight, the once prosperous and bustling Blazing Sun City with its population of hundreds of thousands was reduced to ruins. Everyone in the city turned into vengeful spirits, and there was no longer any sign of life or vitality.

Liu Yan looked at the ruins below, and the anger and resentment in his heart finally calmed a little... At the peak of the Divine Realm, inside the Dawnlight Palace, clouds and mist swirled, and Immortal Qi was dense. The floor, paved with white jade, emitted a warm, soft glow. The furnishings in the hall were ancient and magnificent, each item containing surging divine power. Even the Spiritual Qi flowing in the air was pure enough to allow a Lower Realm Cultivator to achieve a Breakthrough instantly.

Dawn Moon reclined on a divine couch covered in snow-white fox fur, her moon-white divine robe trailing on the floor. The fabric was embroidered with fine silver patterns that shimmered faintly under the light of the divine lamps in the hall, as if woven from moonlight.

She had a slender figure and skin as white as snow. Between her brows was the coldness and arrogance of a Divine Realm powerhouse, yet there was also a hint of nonchalant laziness.

In her hand, she held a teacup carved from ancient spiritual jade, filled with the Divine Realm's unique nectar, clear and sweet, with a curling fragrance.

Before her eyes floated a crystal-clear water mirror. The mirror clearly reflected the tragedy of Blazing Sun City being reduced to ruins and Liu Yan's wanton venting—black flames burning houses, corpses and blood everywhere, hundreds of thousands of vengeful spirits wailing and struggling in the ruins, while Liu Yan stood in the air, his face full of violence and malice, the black aura around him churning like a tsunami.

Looking at the images in the water mirror, Dawn Moon slowly shook her head, a faint sneer curling at the corner of her mouth: "Truly a madman with no sense of restraint. All that hostility can only be vented on these Mortals; he is hard to become a great talent."
