“I didn't expect the Hall of the Gods to deploy a Celestial Venerable, but the Xu Family isn't as weak as they imagine.”

The middle-aged man from Heavens Secret Pavilion looked at Celestial Venerable Bai Jue in the distance, his expression devoid of joy or sorrow.

“How dare you!”

Just then, an angry shout, carrying an extremely terrifying pressure, instantly pierced through tens of millions of miles of sky, directly shattering the terrifying lightning.

“This is... a Celestial Venerable?”

At this moment, all living beings stared dumbfounded at the direction of Xuangu Domain, immediately freezing in place.

Although the weaker beings couldn't see what happened in the sky just now, all beings above the Heavenly King Realm saw it. The power contained in that attack was no weaker than Celestial Venerable Bai Jue's.

Celestial Venerable Bai Jue's expression also stiffened. He hadn't expected the Xu Family to actually have a Celestial Venerable. Just as he was about to probe the opponent's strength, a terrifying figure shrouded in countless divine lights rose above Xuangu Domain.

“A mere Celestial Venerable at the Middle Stage dares to act wildly in the Xu Family and declare to annihilate my Xu Family. You're simply courting death!”

An aged voice rang out.

Immediately after, the terrifying figure moved, pressing towards Celestial Venerable Bai Jue. With each step, the entire world trembled a few times, and layers of Void Realm shattered, unable to withstand the pressure.

“Rumble!”

In the sky, lightning flashed and thunder roared, like Heavenly might. This was the Heavenly Dao of the various Domains, unable to bear the power of a Celestial Venerable, trembling in anger.

Soon, that figure traversed tens of millions of miles and arrived before Celestial Venerable Bai Jue.

“Celestial Venerable at Perfection!”

Feeling the cultivation of the Xu Family's Celestial Venerable, Celestial Venerable Bai Jue no longer had the Aura he had just now. Without a word, he turned and fled. This dramatic scene shocked all living beings.

“Hmph!”

Seeing this, the terrifying figure snorted coldly and raised a hand to grab Celestial Venerable Bai Jue.

In an instant, a massive hand radiating an extremely terrifying Law of Fire, spanned millions of miles, like a towering volcano, pressing down fiercely on Celestial Venerable Bai Jue.

Rumble!

Mana surged, a sea of fire raged, and terrifying power instantly collapsed and evaporated millions of miles of space, as if the end of the world had arrived.

“How dare you! I am a Heavenly God Elder of the Hall of the Gods! How dare you?!”

Feeling the terrifying Law of Fire, Celestial Venerable Bai Jue's expression changed, and he immediately shouted loudly.

“A mere Celestial Venerable, attempting to call himself a god, how absurd!”

The large hand showed no pause, pressing down like a burning meteor.

“You're courting death!”

Celestial Venerable Bai Jue was furious, lightning surged through his body, and thunderous sounds exploded between heaven and earth, as if the most ancient deities were roaring.

A terrifying power was frantically unleashed by Celestial Venerable Bai Jue, then transformed into a fearsome lightning force, like a world-destroying bolt of lightning, striking directly at the large hand.

Boom, rumble!

The two collided, and deafening sounds echoed. Terrifying energy exploded in the Void Realm. The Lightning Dao Divine Ability condensed by Celestial Venerable Bai Jue was utterly shattered, and the large hand continued to crush Celestial Venerable Bai Jue with undiminished Aura.

“Your Excellency, do you truly wish to be irreconcilable with my Hall of the Gods?”

Celestial Venerable Bai Jue was locked by the Qi mechanism and could not avoid it. So, he conjured a lightning pool to attack the large hand, slowing its descent, and at the same time, roared at the terrifying figure.

However, what responded to him was the increasingly close large hand. His attacks had not caused any substantial damage to it.

“Damn it, how can such an existence be in the Land of Thousand Domains!”

Celestial Venerable Bai Jue's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

“You forced my hand!”

A chilling killing intent emanated from his eyes.

“Thousands of thunderbolts, descend to shake souls, divine lightning is invincible, shatter stars and destroy the world!”

As Celestial Venerable Bai Jue chanted, his Origin power surged into the lightning pool like a torrent, causing the lightning pool to instantly erupt with terrifying power.

This power, like a ferocious beast, swept across thousands of miles of sky. The surrounding Void Realm was torn and shattered under this power, as if the end of the world had arrived.

“Kill!”

A vast and terrifying lightning attack shot out from the lightning pool, instantly breaking through layers of Void Realm and colliding with the large hand.

“Boom!”

The scattered flames and lightning transformed into terrifying attacks that fell downwards, making Xuangu Domain and several surrounding Domains seem like the end of the world, with countless living beings trembling in despair.

These energy attacks were like doomsday judgment, capable of destroying everything.

Even Venerables were powerless to resist these attacks, only able to watch as they were obliterated by this Heavenly might.

The might of a Celestial Venerable, even just the aftermath of their battle, was not something Venerables could contend with. Their power seemed so minuscule before a Celestial Venerable, like ants.

Buzz!

At this moment, a soft power erupted from Cloud Mist Mountain, spanning tens of millions of miles, dispersing those residual attacks, and then forming a thin membrane that resisted those terrifying attacks from outside.

Seeing this scene, Celestial Venerable Bai Jue's body trembled; the Xu Family still had a Celestial Venerable.

This also caused the forces of the various Domains to show expressions of horror.

At this time, countless living beings looked up, only to see that the outcome above had already been decided. Celestial Venerable Bai Jue's attack successfully shattered the large hand, and he also broke free from the Qi mechanism's restraint, fleeing into the distance.

He was no match for one Celestial Venerable, let alone the Xu Family having more than one.

“If I let you go, I'd have no face to show anyone!”

“Heaven and earth as a furnace, sun and moon as fire, refine!”

Just as Celestial Venerable Bai Jue had fled a hundred miles, a voice echoed in his ear, like a thunderclap, deafening.

Immediately after, the surrounding temperature soared, and an invisible force trapped Celestial Venerable Bai Jue within it. His expression immediately changed drastically; he knew he had fallen into the opponent's Celestial Venerable Domain.

He hastily conjured his half-finished Celestial Venerable Domain to resist, and also deployed the lightning pool to attack.

But it had no effect whatsoever. The Domain transformed into a gigantic furnace, and two flames, one red and one green, appeared like two fire Dragons, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, causing the surrounding temperature to suddenly climb.

“Your Excellency, if you kill me, the Divine Venerable of my Hall of the Gods will absolutely not let you off!”

Celestial Venerable Bai Jue's face was anxious. Seeing that he couldn't break through the opponent's Domain, he brought up the Divine Venerable to threaten the opponent, hoping to scare him away.

Upon hearing the words Divine Venerable, all living beings looked towards the Xu Family's Celestial Venerable.

Although they didn't know how strong a Divine Venerable was, having witnessed the Celestial Venerables' battle, they could imagine the might of a Divine Venerable.

“Hehe! How did someone like you Cultivate to Celestial Venerable? Now that it has come to this, what good is bringing up a Divine Venerable? Can he even enter the Land of Thousand Domains?”

As soon as these words were spoken, not only did Celestial Venerable Bai Jue's expression change, but even the other Thirteen Sects' forces also changed color.

“Less talk, just go on your way in peace!”

As he spoke, within the furnace, the green and red fires surged, intending to directly refine Celestial Venerable Bai Jue.

“No! I am a Celestial Venerable, recognized by the Heavenly Dao! You can't kill me!”

Celestial Venerable Bai Jue struggled to resist in the sea of fire, letting out an unwilling roar.

“Heavenly Dao recognition? Hehe, you and I are merely bigger ants, where's the logic that we can't be killed!”

The Xu Family's Celestial Venerable stopped wasting words with him, even blocking his voice, and activated the Law of Fire to refine him.

This process lasted for a full seven days, not because he couldn't immediately kill Celestial Venerable Bai Jue.

But because from the King Realm onwards, living beings themselves are precious medicines, let alone a Celestial Venerable?

It was worth spending seven days to refine him into a precious medicine.

Furthermore, it also served as a deterrent to the overlords of other Domains.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for killing Celestial Venerable Bai Jue. Reward: one Advanced Venerable Grade Origin Vein, ten High Grade Origin Crystal Ore Veins, Ninety Thousand Star Armor, Ninety Thousand Star Spear, and one Perfection Life Law.]

Xu Qing immediately extracted the Origin Veins and Origin Crystal Ore Veins and placed them under the various peaks.

By now, the Family's grand array's power had reached the Celestial Venerable grade, capable of unleashing a Divine Venerable attack at full power. Other structures were also the same, capable of unleashing Celestial Venerable might.

As for the Star Armor and Star Spear, they were given to Hai Dagui. The future one hundred thousand Xu Family Star Guardians would be quite imposing to imagine.
