140: His fame resounded throughout the Central Plains, and he destroyed the sacred land of Yin and Yang!

Mysterious Mechanism Master looked at the eight Sacred Artifacts surrounding Chu Feng. If he didn't fight with his life today, not only would his own life be in danger, but the entire Yin Yang Holy Land would also be destroyed.

"Chu Feng! You destroyed my Medicinal Pills, killed my Disciples, and stole my Sacred Artifacts. Today, even if I die, I will grind you to dust!"

Mysterious Mechanism Master suddenly knelt on the ground, muttering incantations.

The black spiritual power around him surged frantically, and blood seeped from his seven orifices, sliding down his cheeks and dripping onto the Formation runes on the ground.

"Net of Heaven and Earth!"

With his mournful roar, the entire Skeleton Mountain Range vibrated violently.

The runes of the Nine Netherworld Luo Formation instantly glowed to their extreme, and black light shot into the sky, dyeing the entire firmament in an inky hue.

Within the Formation, countless netherworld souls surged from underground, converging like a black tide. The colossal black skeleton illusion became increasingly solid, towering a thousand zhang high, standing between heaven and earth like an ancient demon god.

The skeleton's eyes flickered with eerie green light, even more bizarre than before; the netherworld fire it spewed from its mouth turned deep purple, burning even small cracks in the Void Realm wherever it passed.

"Myriad Souls Devour Heaven!" Mysterious Mechanism Master suddenly pushed his hands forward, and the thousand-zhang skeleton slowly raised its massive bone claw, which burned with deep purple netherworld fire, and slammed it towards Chu Feng and Ling Ruoxue.

Wherever the bone claw passed, the air was completely incinerated into black, forming a long black trail. The surrounding palaces were lifted by the bone claw's aftershock, and shattered stones and broken wood rained down like drops.

All the Disciples and surviving Elders of the Yin Yang Holy Land were terrified by this horrifying sight, collapsing to the ground with despair in their eyes.

"Old Ancestor used the power of blood sacrifice!"

"The power of this Formation has reached the Peak of the Mahayana Late Stage!"

"That brat and Ling Ruoxue are dead for sure!"

"I hope Old Ancestor can win, otherwise we'll all die!"

The golden Sword Intent slashed down, and the netherworld soul illusion let out a mournful shriek, instantly turning into ashes.

Boom—

Golden light and deep purple light intertwined, forming a colossal energy storm. The space at the center of the storm completely shattered, revealing a dark void.

The entire Skeleton Mountain Range vibrated violently, as if about to collapse.

Under the attack of the golden Sword Intent, the black skeleton's bone claw developed dense cracks, and the deep purple netherworld fire rapidly dissipated.

Mysterious Mechanism Master's face was pale, and he continuously spat out blood.

He could feel that the power of the Formation was rapidly draining, and the solidity of the thousand-zhang skeleton illusion was constantly decreasing.

"I cannot lose!"

Mysterious Mechanism Master once again burned his essence blood, attempting to forcibly increase the power of the Formation.

However, his essence blood was already running low, and forcibly burning it would only accelerate his own demise.

Chu Feng watched Mysterious Mechanism Master's dying struggle; the golden Sword Intent's light grew increasingly brilliant, and the sword patterns on the Sword Intent rapidly flowed, emitting an even stronger Sacred Might.

Crack—

The black skeleton's bone claw shattered with a crash, but the golden Sword Intent's momentum remained unchecked, slicing directly towards the head of the thousand-zhang skeleton illusion.

"No!"

Mysterious Mechanism Master let out a desperate roar. The golden Sword Intent instantly struck the head of the skeleton illusion. The skeleton illusion let out a mournful shriek, its massive body began to rapidly dissipate, and countless netherworld soul illusions turned into ashes in the golden light.

The runes of the Nine Netherworld Luo Formation also rapidly dimmed under the impact of the golden Sword Intent. The black runes on the ground retreated like a tide, and the Formation was completely broken.

Mysterious Mechanism Master suffered a backlash from the Formation, his body flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground. He spat out a large mouthful of black blood, most of his bones were shattered, and his aura was as faint as a candle in the wind.

Chu Feng slowly walked to Mysterious Mechanism Master, his meteor sword pointing at his throat.

Mysterious Mechanism Master lay on the ground, his eyes filled with unwillingness.

"Impossible, why would my sect's Sacred Artifact recognize you as its Revered Master?"

"The Yin Yang Holy Land has committed countless evil deeds; it has long lost its reason for existence."

Chu Feng's long sword pierced Mysterious Mechanism Master's throat, completely crushing his Divine Soul.

A hint of relief flashed in Mysterious Mechanism Master's eyes, and finally, his head tilted, completely losing all signs of life.

With Mysterious Mechanism Master's death, the entire Yin Yang Holy Land fell into complete silence.

The surviving Disciples and Elders looked at the eight Sacred Artifacts surrounding Chu Feng and all knelt on the ground.

"Greetings, Holy Revered Master!"

Chu Feng looked down at the kneeling crowd. These people had followed Mysterious Mechanism Master for years, cultivating evil arts, and their hands were already stained with blood.

If he let them go today, they would surely return in the future to continue bringing disaster to the Central Plains.

"The Yin Yang Holy Land has committed countless evil deeds; let it be completely annihilated today."

Upon hearing this, pleas for mercy rose one after another. Some Disciples were even so scared they collapsed to the ground, and a pungent odor filled the air.

"Holy Revered Master, spare our lives, we know we were wrong!"

"We are willing to submit to Yun Yao Holy Land and will never dare to do evil again!"

"Please, let us go!"

Several surviving Elders' eyes flickered as they secretly gathered spiritual power, attempting to seize the opportunity to escape.

Since Chu Feng didn't intend to let them go, only a desperate fight offered a glimmer of hope.

Chu Feng snorted coldly, slowly raising his right hand. The eight Sacred Artifacts around him instantly let out deafening sword cries.

"Sword Lock Firmament!"

With his furious roar, the eight Sacred Artifacts simultaneously shot into the sky, rapidly rotating above the Yin Yang Holy Land.

Above the sword net, countless tiny Sword Qi moved like living creatures, and the golden Sacred Might pressed down as if substantial.

Seeing the constantly shrinking sword net above their heads, everyone began to flee frantically.

Some tried to resist, but found their bodies firmly suppressed by the Sacred Might, making it incredibly difficult to even move a finger.

"Run!"

A Nascent Soul Stage Elder shrieked, desperately trying to break out of the sword net with all his strength.

He conjured a black bone sword and slashed at the sword net, but a golden Sword Qi from the net instantly pierced through his body.

The bone sword broke, a huge bloody hole appeared in the Elder's chest, and his body fell heavily to the ground, twitching a few times before completely losing all signs of life.

Seeing this scene, everyone immediately scattered like headless flies, but no matter what, they couldn't escape the range of the sword net.

A cold glint flashed in Chu Feng's eyes, and he suddenly clenched his right hand.

"Sword Rain!"

The countless tiny Sword Qi on the sword net instantly transformed into a downpour of sword rain, crashing down upon the crowd below.

The entire Yin Yang Holy Land was stained with blood. The already ruined palaces completely collapsed under the bombardment of the Sword Qi, and the ground was covered with dense blood holes. Corpses piled up like mountains, some reduced to incomplete limbs, others ground into meat paste by the Sword Qi.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, mixed with the scorched smell of roasted flesh.

Several high-level Elders were still desperately resisting. They jointly conjured a damaged Demonic Weapon, attempting to block the sword rain.

The Demonic Weapon emitted black light, forming a shield that temporarily blocked some of the Sword Qi.

Chu Feng looked at them, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

"Seeking death."

He formed a hand seal with his left hand, and the eight Sacred Artifacts simultaneously converged, forming a colossal golden Sword Intent that slashed down towards those Elders.

Bang—

The golden Sword Intent collided with the black shield. The shield instantly shattered, and the Demonic Weapon also broke in response.

The Elders were sent flying by the Sword Qi's aftershock, crashing heavily into the pile of corpses. Their bodies were pierced by countless Sword Qi, and they completely lost all signs of life.

The sword rain gradually ceased, and the eight-colored sword net slowly contracted, finally converging into a golden stream of light that returned to Chu Feng's side... In the Yun Yao Holy Land's mountain gate plaza, clouds lingered, and immortal cranes cried out, a scene of immortal grandeur in the past, but today it exuded a completely different solemnity.

Everyone's expressions were tense, their gazes fixed on the direction of the mountain gate.

Ling Ruoxue and Chu Feng had gone to the Yin Yang Holy Land to rescue someone, and three days had passed. Now, with their prolonged absence, everyone was already worried.

"Elder, do you think Sect Master might be in trouble?"

"Mysterious Mechanism Master of the Yin Yang Holy Land is at the Peak of the Mahayana Late Stage, and they also have their sect-protecting Formation. Those two might be..."

"Silence!"

Just then, two familiar figures suddenly appeared at the mountain gate.

Everyone quickly gathered around, asking with concern.

"Sect Master, are you alright?"

"Should we immediately activate the sect-protecting Formation? If Mysterious Mechanism Master comes after us, we'll be ready to defend against that villain."

"Has Xi Shenyin been rescued?"

Ling Ruoxue waved her hand, then spoke.

"No need. Mysterious Mechanism Master is dead, and the Yin Yang Holy Land has been destroyed."

"What!"

This sentence exploded like a thunderclap in the plaza, and everyone instantly froze.

The Fifth Elder staggered back a step, his voice trembling.

"Mysterious Mechanism Master... is dead?"

"Absolutely true."

Ling Ruoxue nodded, then took out a netherworld soul devouring banner from her storage ring.

As the netherworld soul devouring banner unfurled, black mist billowed, and countless netherworld soul illusions shrieked within the mist. It was precisely the Yin Yang Holy Land's Sacred Artifact, the netherworld soul devouring banner.

Immediately after, she waved her hand and released dozens of treasures.

The reason she and Chu Feng had lingered so long in the Yin Yang Holy Land was to plunder the Yin Yang Holy Land's treasury.

Seeing this, everyone immediately gathered around.

"This is the netherworld soul devouring banner, it really is the Yin Yang Holy Land's Sacred Artifact!"

"And the Blood Soul Spear, that's Xuanming's Natal Heaven-Grade Weapon."

"Could it be that everything Sect Master said is true?"

Ling Ruoxue's tone was calm, yet it sent a shiver through everyone present.

"Mysterious Mechanism Master was slain by Revered Master's single sword, and the Yin Yang Holy Land has been destroyed."

The plaza instantly erupted in chatter, and everyone looked at Chu Feng with disbelief.

"Mysterious Mechanism Master was at the Peak of the Mahayana Late Stage, yet Chu Feng could kill him with one sword?"

"Isn't Chu Feng in the Body Integration Stage?"

"The Yin Yang Holy Land has been passed down for so long, and it even has a sect-protecting Formation like the Nine Netherworld Luo Formation, yet it was destroyed just like that?"

Originally, everyone was dissatisfied with Chu Feng taking control of Yun Yao Holy Land, but now their eyes became somewhat complex.

After Chu Feng took control of Yun Yao Holy Land, not only did he not let the Holy Land decline, but he also annexed the powerful Yin Yang Holy Land... Tianxing Hall.

Inside the Law Enforcement Hall, Xing Cang was discussing the upcoming Immortal Sect Grand Assembly of the Four Great Immortal Sects with Saintess Xing Yao.

Just then, a Disciple rushed into the Law Enforcement Hall with a panicked expression.

"Elder, something terrible has happened!"

The thunderous killing intent in Xing Cang's eyes flashed and disappeared, his tone cold.

"What are you panicking about? Has the sky fallen?"

"It's news from the Yin Yang Holy Land!" The Disciple panted, speaking rapidly, "The Yin Yang Holy Land has been destroyed, and Mysterious Mechanism Master was slain by someone with a single sword!"

"What?"

Xing Cang suddenly stood up, and the purple lightning around him instantly became violent, tearing small cracks in the surrounding air.

He stared intently at the Disciple, his voice trembling with disbelief.

"Say that again. The Yin Yang Holy Land was destroyed. Who did it?"

The Disciple lowered his head, not daring to meet Xing Cang's eyes.

"It was a person named Chu Feng. He not only killed the Mysterious Yin Old Ancestor but also slaughtered everyone in the Yin Yang Holy Land."

"Chu Feng?"

Xing Cang's pupils contracted sharply, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

He violently slammed a fist onto a stone pillar beside him. The pillar instantly shattered into pieces, sending fragments flying.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! He is just a young brat in the Nascent Soul Stage. No matter how high his talent is, how much time has passed? How could he possibly kill the Mysterious Yin Old Ancestor?"

Both of his sons died by Chu Feng's hand. He had been searching for Chu Feng's whereabouts this entire time but had received no news.

At that time, Chu Feng only had a Nascent Soul Sixth Level cultivation. The Yin Yang Holy Land had a sect protection Formation. How could the Mysterious Yin Old Ancestor be killed by a single sword strike from a young brat?

"Elder, it's true!" the Disciple quickly said. "The news has spread throughout the entire Central Continent. The Yin Yang Holy Land has already been reduced to ruins, and all the treasures within the Holy Land were looted. The Sacred Artifact of the Yin Yang Holy Land is now in the Yun Yao Holy Land."

Xing Cang staggered back a few steps and slumped onto a chair, his eyes filled with confusion.

He had originally thought that as long as he found Chu Feng, he could easily avenge his son, but now, Chu Feng had actually grown strong enough to kill a Mahayana Late Stage Peak expert.

If this was the case, how could he possibly avenge his own son?

"Chu Feng..."

Xing Cang muttered the name under his breath, the killing intent in his eyes almost turning tangible.

"Are the deaths of my two sons just going to be forgotten?"

He suddenly stood up, and the lightning spiritual power surrounding his body surged again.

"I must kill you!"

Xing Yao pondered for a moment, then spoke.

"The one who killed the Mysterious Yin Old Ancestor must have been Ling Ruoxue. How could it be Chu Feng? I think the rumors must be wrong."

The Disciple who delivered the message hesitated for a moment but still spoke.

"Saintess, there is one more thing. It is rumored that Su Qingqiu, whose Spiritual Root was taken by you, is precisely Chu Feng's Dao Companion."

"What?"

Xing Yao's body stiffened abruptly, cold sweat instantly broke out on her palms, and her voice trembled.

"Su Qingqiu is Chu Feng's Dao Companion?"

The Disciple nodded heavily: "Now, the Chu family and the people from the Tiansheng Academy have all moved to the Yun Yao Holy Land in the Central Continent. Many people in the Central Continent know about this now."

Xing Yao felt her mind go blank, and a buzzing sound filled her ears.

When she took Su Qingqiu's Spiritual Root, Su Qingqiu was just an insignificant small Cultivator, and she didn't pay any attention to her. But she never expected that Su Qingqiu was actually Chu Feng's Dao Companion.

"No way, he might not know that I did it... Even if he does know, the Tianxing Hall is not comparable to the Yin Yang Holy Land. He wouldn't dare to attack!"

Although she said this, her body trembled uncontrollably.

Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.

"Revered Master, something happened!"

Liu Qingyan quickly walked into the main hall, a trace of rare panic on her face.

The Mysterious Mechanism Master turned his head to look at Liu Qingyan.

"Why are you so flustered?"

Liu Qingyan gasped for breath, speaking rapidly.

"The Yin Yang Holy Land has been destroyed!"

"What?"

The Mysterious Mechanism Master suddenly stood up. He quickly walked to the crystal ball, placed his hands on it, and spiritual power surged in. The crystal ball instantly lit up, displaying the scene of the Yin Yang Holy Land's destruction.

"This... How is this possible?"

The Mysterious Mechanism Master's voice carried a hint of a tremor. He had always been very optimistic about Chu Feng's potential. When Chu Feng was still only in the Nascent Soul Stage, he had divined Chu Feng's future, knowing that he would surely become extraordinary later on.

But he never expected that Chu Feng could grow strong enough to kill a Mahayana Late Stage Peak Cultivator in such a short amount of time.

The image on the crystal ball clearly showed Chu Feng surrounded by eight Sacred Swords, setting up a massive golden Sword Formation. With a single strike, he shattered the Yin Yang Holy Land's sect protection Formation, the Nine Netherworld Luo Formation.

"Such powerful Sword Intent, such a terrifying Sword Formation!" The Mysterious Mechanism Master's eyes were filled with astonishment.

Liu Qingyan stood nearby, looking at Chu Feng's figure on the crystal ball, her face pale and her heart churning with mixed emotions.

She recalled that her Revered Master had once told her that Chu Feng was exceptionally talented and possessed great Luck.

If she could interact with him early and form a good relationship, it would greatly benefit her in the future.

But at that time, her cultivation far surpassed Chu Feng's, and she didn't pay any attention to that unknown Nascent Soul Cultivator.

But now, Chu Feng had grown to the point where he could stand on equal footing with her Revered Master, destroying the powerful Yin Yang Holy Land with a single sword strike and becoming an existence revered by the entire Central Continent.

Although her cultivation had also improved, compared to Chu Feng, the difference was like heaven and earth.

"Revered Master..."

Liu Qingyan's voice was choked with emotion, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She lowered her head, looking at her hands, her heart filled with endless regret.

If she had listened to her Revered Master back then and actively approached Chu Feng to form a good relationship, the situation might not be like this now.

But her pride at the time had caused her to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The Mysterious Mechanism Master looked at his Disciple's regretful appearance and sighed softly.

"Chu Feng's rise is destiny. You looked down on him back then because your vision was insufficient, and you couldn't see the potential hidden within him."

He paused, then continued.

"However, it's not too late yet."

Liu Qingyan raised her head, a glimmer of hope flashing in her eyes, but it quickly dimmed.

Given Chu Feng's current status, how could he possibly look favorably upon her?

"Revered Master, do... do I really still have a chance?"

The Mysterious Mechanism Master looked at Chu Feng's figure on the crystal ball and slowly said.

"Chu Feng clearly distinguishes between gratitude and grievance. I, your Revered Master, stepped forward to help him once at a critical moment, which can be considered as establishing a connection for you."

After a pause, he continued to reassure her.

"Among the Four Great Immortal Sects, the Yin Yang Holy Land has been destroyed, leaving only the Tianxing Hall and my Heavenly Secrets Pavilion. You practically have no competitors."

Liu Qingyan clenched her fists, still saying somewhat uncertainly.

"There is also Xing Yao of the Tianxing Hall."

Hahaha... Hearing that name, the Mysterious Mechanism Master couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"I have already calculated it. Xing Yao and Chu Feng's fates clash. It is absolutely impossible for them."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Among the Four Great Immortal Sects, the Yun Yao Holy Land has been completely controlled by Chu Feng, and the Yin Yang Holy Land was destroyed by Chu Feng. Now, only the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion and the Tianxing Hall remain.

Fortunately, he made the right choice back then. He wondered if the Tianxing Hall would follow in the footsteps of the Yin Yang Holy Land... Yun Yao Holy Land.

Chu Feng looked at the ice sculpture before him and spoke with a solemn gaze.

"How can this ice seal be dissolved?"

Since agreeing to help the Yin Ancestor find her Physical Body, what he cared about most was Xi Shenyin's condition. Now that the Yin Yang Holy Land was destroyed, lifting the ice seal became the top priority.

The Yin Ancestor's soul shadow swayed slightly in the air, and the ethereal aura around her rippled. She looked at Xi Shenyin inside the ice crystal, a hint of complexity flashing in her eyes.

"This is the Nine Revolutions Cold Jade Soul Sealing Technique; it cannot be broken by ordinary means.

Xi Shenyin used all of her cultivation as a guide, dispersed the Origin power of the Supreme Emotionless Path, and fused it with thousand-year cold jade marrow to form this ice seal.

The purpose was to completely isolate her own aura so that Mysterious Yin could not refine her."

Chu Feng seemed to sense that something was wrong, and then he asked.

"Didn't you say you could help me dissolve the ice seal?"

The Yin Ancestor's gaze was somewhat evasive.

"If you can help me recover my Physical Body, I will naturally be able to dissolve it for her."

Hearing this, Chu Feng's expression immediately darkened.

"You tricked me."

Their previous agreement was that the Yin Ancestor would first help him resolve the ice seal, and then he would help the Yin Ancestor recover her Physical Body. Now, the order was reversed.

Seeing Chu Feng flare up, the Yin Ancestor immediately changed the subject.

"There is another method. In the Immortal Realm, there is a Heavenly Spring Pool, and its water can melt ice seal Restrictions."

"The Immortal Realm?" Chu Feng's expression suddenly sank. "Is this what you meant by helping me dissolve the ice seal?"

The Yin Ancestor raised her head, meeting Chu Feng's gaze directly.

"If I hadn't pointed you in the right direction, even if you spent a hundred years, you wouldn't find a way to break it."

Chu Feng's mouth twitched slightly, momentarily speechless.

He knew the Yin Ancestor spoke the truth. He had tried to break the ice seal using his own abilities, but all attempts had failed.

Even when Ling Ruoxue made a move, it was still useless.

Just at this moment, a burst of intense spatial fluctuation suddenly rippled through the air. Pale purple moonlight spilled out from the Void Realm, forming a revolving door of light.

Buzz—

A woman dressed in pale purple palace attire walked out of the light door. It was Qing Xuan.

"Chu Feng, are you ready?"

Qing Xuan's voice flowed like moonlight. Her gaze swept over Chu Feng, finally landing on the Yin Ancestor's soul shadow. A trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she did not ask further.

Chu Feng was immediately delighted upon seeing Qing Xuan.

"Do you know the location of the Heavenly Spring Pool?"

Hearing this, a ripple appeared in Qing Xuan's originally calm eyes.

"The Heavenly Spring Pool is within the Secret Realm of the Hall of Serving Gods. How do you know of its existence?"

Chu Feng did not hide anything and recounted everything that had happened during this period.

After listening to Chu Feng's narration, Qing Xuan's expression became somewhat strange.

She remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking.

"If you want to enter the Heavenly Spring Pool, there is only one path: help Luo Qingyan refine a Medicinal Pill through Alchemy.

Otherwise, you, an outsider, simply do not have the qualifications to enter the Secret Realm of the Hall of Serving Gods."

Hearing this, Chu Feng understood that he absolutely had to make a trip to the Hall of Serving Gods.

Even if it was only for Xi Shenyin, he had to help Luo Qingyan successfully refine the Medicinal Pill.

"If I successfully help her refine the Medicinal Pill, can I enter the Secret Realm?"

Qing Xuan did not answer the question directly.

"That depends on your ability. In principle, no."

Chu Feng was an intelligent person, and he naturally understood the implication.

Luo Qingyan was the Vice Hall Revered Master of the Hall of Serving Gods. If he wanted to enter the Secret Realm, he had to negotiate the terms with Luo Qingyan before the Alchemy.

Although it was forbidden in principle, Luo Qingyan clearly had a way to break that rule.

"I will go with you to the Hall of Serving Gods right now."
