147: Chapter 147 The Martial Ancestor Makes His Move!

Chapter 147: Martial Ancestor Strikes!

"Do you think we could possibly agree to your terms?"

Ling Xiaofeng maintained that same arrogant attitude, causing Zhao Changsheng's already cold face to turn completely dark as ink.

Immediately after, a thunderous, earth-shattering roar echoed from above their heads. In the next moment, a surge of incredibly powerful Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi fluctuations manifested between heaven and earth.

Then, a massive vortex appeared in the sky above Zhao Changsheng's head. When this vortex appeared...

Before anyone else could react, a pillar of light descended from the sky and transformed into a finger. This finger was covered in infinite patterns.

Upon these patterns, one could clearly feel waves of ancient and desolate aura diffusing outward. In an instant, it enveloped the entire world, causing the whole Holy Mountain to tremble.

"Kill them all!"

As these words left Zhao Changsheng's mouth, that massive finger, as large as a mountain peak, plummeted straight down from the heavens like a mountain falling. Carrying infinite destructive power, it instantly wiped out everything below—except for Zhao Changsheng, everyone else was completely erased.

As for the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star, the Six Paths Extreme Saint, Third Aunt Wan, and the rest, they were all destroyed by the power of destruction until nothing remained. Even the Star Palace halls were turned to ash, leaving behind not a single trace.

"My thanks to the Great Martial Ancestor for your assistance!"

After finishing this, Zhao Changsheng cupped his hands toward the vortex of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the Void Realm and offered his thanks.

This time, he had only eliminated those who wanted his life. As for the majority of the Star Palace Cultivators, he had not killed them.

It wasn't that he was particularly merciful, but rather because most of them had already fled.

Before he arrived, the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star had already ordered all the elite, core-level Elders and Cultivators to evacuate.

This was so they could fight him to the death!

But they hadn't expected Zhao Changsheng to directly draw a Martial Ancestor character card!

Although it could only be used once, he didn't mind using it here.

And as the Martial Ancestor, there was no nonsense at all; he simply wiped out all enemies cleanly in one go.

After Zhao Changsheng finished speaking, everything between heaven and earth returned to its usual tranquility, as if nothing had ever happened. If not for the vanished Star Palace halls, anyone would have thought that just now was a dream.

In fact, there was not a single living person left on the entire Holy Mountain besides Zhao Changsheng. This was Zhao Changsheng's greatest trump card. If not for this confidence, he wouldn't have handed over the immortal extermination pearl to the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star so easily.

Zhao Changsheng was in a state of complete fearlessness, having no need to worry about any situation arising.

With just one strike, all troubles were resolved and all enemies were wiped out. If he hadn't had only one chance, he wouldn't have come in person, and Heavenly Star City wouldn't have tried every means to gather all these fellows together.

"I clearly gave you a chance, but unfortunately, none of you cherished it. Since you didn't cherish it, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"The only pity is that I used up a character card. I'll have to continue completing missions later."

Zhao Changsheng sighed, then looked around and talked to himself.

Now, because of him and the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star, he was the only one left here.

However, Zhao Changsheng did not leave immediately. Instead, he used a Spell to temporarily build a palace, stayed inside, and then sent messages to those he was connected with who were still alive.

For example, Madam Wen and the Sect Leader of the Wonderful Sound Sect, Zhou Yuan.

These were the people related to him.

What had just happened was witnessed by everyone in Heavenly Star City.

But Heavenly Star City was different now than it used to be; there weren't many powerful Cultivators left.

Even so, the news of the Star Palace's destruction spread through the entire Chaotic Star Sea like a hurricane, reaching all major and minor forces. This time, it wasn't just the Star Palace, the former official authority of the Chaotic Star Sea, that was destroyed.

The Holy Demon Island, Myriad Laws Sect, and other top-tier forces were also included.

However, these forces weren't completely wiped out. After all, only their core Elders had died, and even then, not every single one was gone.

Under these circumstances, the master of the Chaotic Star Sea could only be Zhao Changsheng.

When Madam Wen arrived, she couldn't believe that the once-lofty Star Palace had been destroyed to the point where not a single hall remained, and not a single Cultivator within existed anymore.

Upon hearing the news and witnessing it with her own eyes, she stood dazed on the Holy Mountain for a long time before coming to her senses.

"You really destroyed the Star Palace, Holy Demon Island, and the Myriad Laws Sect?"

Madam Wen looked at Zhao Changsheng, who was lying on a chair before her, and spoke her mind in complete disbelief.

Before this, Madam Wen had imagined many scenarios: Zhao Changsheng heavily wounding or even killing the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star, or him being surrounded and killed by the Twin Saints and others, or both sides perishing together, using the immortal extermination pearl to take the entire Star Palace down with him.

But she never expected that Zhao Changsheng would wipe out the entire Star Palace, as well as the Holy Demon Island, the Myriad Laws Sect, and other forces, while remaining completely unharmed.

Although these forces weren't technically completely exterminated, all the Cultivators above the Middle Nascent Soul Stage in these forces were as dead as could be! Not a single one survived; they were all wiped out.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the strength of the Chaotic Star Sea had been cut by more than half. Basically, every Cultivator at or above the Middle Nascent Soul Stage was dead.

One could imagine how much harm this event caused to the Human Race of the entire Chaotic Star Sea.

However, with the existence of someone like Zhao Changsheng, the strength of the Human Race would likely increase rather than decrease.

But Madam Wen truly couldn't imagine how Zhao Changsheng had done it. Although there were rumors of a Holy Mountain descending from the sky and crushing everyone to death, the more Madam Wen thought about it, the more impossible it seemed.

"Haven't you already seen it, Madam? Do I need to say it again? They are all dead, as dead as can be. However, some Elders of the Star Palace and the Elders and Disciples of those other forces haven't been completely wiped out. So, I'll have to trouble you, Madam, to help call all those fellows over. If they are willing to join us, then naturally their lives won't be in danger. If they aren't willing, then issue arrest warrants for them. Anyway, a few more deaths don't matter to me. And as for how to contact them, I'm sure you know, so I won't say more."

"However, if they don't hand over the treasures they carry and help me rebuild the Star Sea Empire, then they won't have a good end either. The things they carry are all good stuff. Before I arrived, the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star had already moved all the valuable treasures of the Star Palace. They basically didn't leave much for us, and those things are exactly what I want. If they don't bring them out, then I'll just have to take their lives."

"This is just too exaggerated. You really destroyed the entire Star Palace, Holy Demon Island, and Myriad Laws Sect by yourself?"

Even now, Madam Wen felt like she was in a dream, because the scene before her was too exaggerated, and everything that happened was too incredible. Even in a dream, one probably couldn't conjure such a terrifying and exaggerated dream.

"If you don't believe it, Madam, you can find someone else to investigate and inquire. See if it's true, see if I'm lying. In any case, I've already done what needed to be done. As for whether you believe it or not, that's your business and has nothing to do with me. What I'm going to do next is establish the Star Sea Empire I told you about. Also, I need to hurry up and Cultivate to advance my Realm further. After all, I'm still thinking about Ascension to the Spirit Realm, so naturally, I don't want to delay for too long. I hope you can help me, Madam."

Zhao Changsheng's words made Madam Wen nod, and she agreed without any objection.

"Since my husband has spoken, I naturally agree. However, I still find it hard to believe everything that happened before."

"It's normal not to believe it, but I'm sure you will after some time. It's nothing, not that big of a deal. I'll trouble you to help build the Star Sea Empire I mentioned. After all, my understanding of this Chaotic Star Sea is not even a fraction of yours. Only you can help me build this Star Sea Empire more quickly. Once it's built, you will be the Holy Sovereign of the Star Sea Empire. This is what I promised you before, and now it's time to fulfill it. After all, so much time has passed; if I don't fulfill it now, you might get angry."

Zhao Changsheng said with a smile. His words gave Madam Wen a start, and she quickly denied it, "I wouldn't dare."

"Alright, there's nothing to 'not dare' about. Just hurry up and do as I say. The remaining matters will naturally be handled by someone. After all, there is no one left in the entire Chaotic Star Sea who is my match. We can make them behave obediently without worrying about them playing any tricks. If they try any more tricks, there will only be a dead end for them; there will be no way out."

"I understand. Please rest assured, husband. I will definitely handle this matter well and won't make things difficult for you."

After suppressing her turbulent emotions, Madam Wen immediately bowed and spoke.

"Good, I knew you could handle everything. In that case, I'll leave it to you. I'll go for a stroll first. It's been so long, and I want to see how Heavenly Star City is recovering. I hope no major mistakes occur; otherwise, building this Star Sea Empire might be quite difficult."

Zhao Changsheng nodded with great satisfaction, stood up, and left the temporary palace he had built. Madam Wen then began to work according to Zhao Changsheng's instructions.

As for Heavenly Star City, it hadn't recovered its former prosperity. Instead, it had become empty and desolate, with almost no signs of human life.

This was mainly because what Zhao Changsheng had done was too shocking. It could be said that in the entire history of the Chaotic Star Sea, this was definitely the most extreme incident. There was no incident more severe than this, directly wiping out the official authority of the Chaotic Star Sea all at once. Even the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star were erased, along with the Six Paths Extreme Saint, Third Aunt Wan, and a host of other top Cultivators.

Such an event was definitely a first for the entire Chaotic Star Sea, and there wouldn't be a second.

So, the current Heavenly Star City—or rather, Heavenly Star Island, which was once the most prosperous and largest island in the entire Chaotic Star Sea and even the Mortal Realm—had directly become the most dangerous place in the entire Chaotic Star Sea. Even Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators didn't dare to set foot there without Zhao Changsheng's permission, like Madam Wen. Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to enter at all.

They were afraid of being wiped out by accident, something that could easily happen.

If even Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators were like this, not to mention those at the Core Formation Stage, Foundation Establishment Stage, Qi Refinement Stage, and Mortals. Basically, during the time it took for Madam Wen to arrive, they had all evacuated Heavenly Star City, not daring to stay for another minute.

If she hadn't trusted Zhao Changsheng, and if she hadn't known that everything was his doing, Madam Wen wouldn't have dared to set foot in Heavenly Star City either.

Because it was too exaggerated and incredible, completely beyond imagination and expectation. She never thought that Zhao Changsheng wouldn't use the immortal extermination pearl but would instead use other means.

A massive finger descending from the sky, shaped like a mountain, which instantly wiped out the entire Star Palace along with all the Cultivators within.

How was this done? Madam Wen had a vague guess, but she still found it somewhat hard to believe. It could even be said she was unable to believe it; it was simply too exaggerated and incredible, the kind of thing one couldn't believe, yet it had happened. It gave her a sense of the bizarre, but there was nothing she could do.

Because the fact was exactly that. No matter how unwilling she was to believe it, it was something that had already happened.

So when she heard Zhao Changsheng's command, Madam Wen had no choice but to agree, unless she no longer wanted to live.

As Zhao Changsheng walked the streets of Heavenly Star City, he realized just how desolate the city had become, and all of it was because of him.

"The impact this caused is really big enough; it's almost wiped out Heavenly Star City. How did they get scared into this state? If they were a bit braver, they wouldn't be this frightened. The Martial Ancestor's methods are truly powerful—no nonsense at all, just directly wiping everyone out. It's quite a surprise."

The character card Zhao Changsheng had drawn was the Martial Ancestor, who had wiped everyone out in an instant.

Clean, efficient, and satisfying, with no hesitation whatsoever.

Not a single word of nonsense, not even a single character spoken before everything was killed and destroyed.

It's just that the consequences were a bit beyond Zhao Changsheng's expectations. Heavenly Star City was far too empty, which affected his plan to establish the Star Sea Empire.

But it wasn't a big problem. With his deterrent power here, he believed Cultivators would arrive soon.

After all, no one wanted to seek death.

Coming to the current Heavenly Star City might mean death, but not coming would definitely mean death—at least for those Cultivators who received an invitation.
