127: Chapter 126 Super God Academy, Settling Old scores

The moment the light barrier shrouding everyone dissipated, Ye Qingxuan and Duyuan simultaneously released their Divine Sense, instantly covering the entire heaven and earth.

Lin Lei opened his eyes slightly, instantly activating his Martial Dao Heavenly Eye to investigate everything around him.

Bai Yuekui also mobilized her spiritual telekinesis, cooperating with Daluo Insight to scan every corner of this unfamiliar world in an omnidirectional manner.

The entire process lasted only a few short seconds.

A flash of sharp light crossed the depths of Ye Qingxuan's eyes, instantly piercing through all the foundations of this world, and he muttered inwardly.

"Super Seminary! It is still a Minor Thousand Worlds, just a bit fragile."

The location they were currently in was precisely Tianhe City of this world.

This place was right at economic or critical node of the Taotie alien civilization's invasion, and cities in all countries on Earth had been invaded.

Ye Qingxuan circulated the Heavenly Secrets Technique to rapidly deduce, understanding the true meaning of this instance dungeon's task, "Setting Things Right at the Source".

With Ye Qingxuan's current cultivation base, coupled with the Heavenly Secrets Technique, in this fragile Minor Thousand Worlds, he could be called a truly invincible existence.

In a fleeting instant, the past, present, and future of this world were all thoroughly penetrated and perceived by him.

This world had no orthodox cultivation Dao, and its evolutionary system was extremely deformed.

The system of this world had an outrageously low energy utilization rate, and those so-called gods piled up through technology had long degenerated into parasites gnawing away at the Universe's resources.

The so-called Void was merely a blade in the hands of this world's Heavenly Dao, a blade specially used to clean up civilizations.

As long as a civilization developed deformities, went astray, and violated the correct track of the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao would urge the Void to annihilate the old civilization, sweep away all ills, and let the world reincarnate and develop anew.

The previous Pangu Civilization violated the true name taboo and was erased by Him, and the later Shenhe Civilization began to develop toward deformity.

However, deformed civilizations were endless in killing, and the Heavenly Dao of this Realm had long been overwhelmed. It was originally close to ascending into a Middle Thousand Worlds, but now it was dragged down by the god-creating civilization to the point of almost falling back to the level of a Great World.

Having no other choice, it actively sent out a distress signal, expecting external powerhouses to come and set things right at the source to purge the chaos.

Duyuan at the side frowned slightly and spoke with a face full of confusion.

"Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, this isn't right. The physical foundations and energy reserves of these powerhouses in this world clearly reach the level of the Soul Transformation Stage, but their strength is barely at the Early Stage of the Golden Core?"

"Is that monkey the Great Sage? Why is he so weak?"

"Moreover, the space of this world is so fragile."

"Also, this world has Yanhuang Bloodlines, but why are there so many aliens?"

Saying this, he raised his hand and knocked gently, causing ripples in space. As soon as Duyuan's doubts came out, Lin Lei and Bai Yuekui looked sideways simultaneously.

The two immediately used their respective probing methods to carefully perceive the details of this world once again.

The moment the perception results settled, identical doubts arose in both of their hearts simultaneously, their minds full of incomprehension.

"Outrageous!!"

Physical bodies and energies were piled extremely high, a solid high-configuration foundation, yet the strength displayed was outrageously weak, completely violating common sense. Within the territory of Hua Guo in this Realm, there were still millions of aliens.

"Setting things right at the source, rectifying chaos and returning to the right path—so that's how it is!"

At the same time as he figured all this out, Ye Qingxuan's Divine Sense also swept across the entire Tianhe City.

He clearly saw that foreign Chosen Ones from various countries, as well as the indigenous super warriors of this world, were engaged in a desperate melee with the Taotie legion in the city, with artillery fire shaking the heavens and casualties constantly mounting.

Ye Qingxuan withdrew his gaze, turned to look at the three people beside him—Duyuan, Lin Lei, and Bai Yuekui—and spoke in a calm tone.

"It's just a deformed system. I have already figured out the task. You guys can move around freely; this poor Taoist will first deal with some personal grievances."

As soon as his voice fell.

Ye Qingxuan's magic power circulated, and a formless Dao rhyme swept across the entire heaven and earth.

Boom!

Heaven and Earth Lose Color!

In an instant, across the entire Blue Star, all light and shadow, actions, sounds of wind, and artillery fire came to a complete halt, completely turning into a sheet of grayish-white.

Space, kinetic energy, and energy—all things were completely frozen, turning into a static frame of a picture.

Everyone's consciousness, however, remained clear, consciously perceiving this unimaginable scene before them.

On the Tianhe Battlefield——

Liu Chuang holding an axe was frozen in mid-air, staring with wide eyes at the unbelievable scene in front of him.

Ge Xiaolun shouted in the communication, "What's going on? I can't move!"

Zhao Xin: "Me too!!"

Leona: "This goddess can't move either!! What kind of technology is this!? Dead monkey, was this you?"

Sun Wukong: "Shut up! Old Sun has also been frozen in place!"

Qilin: "It's not just us; those Taotie are the same. It's somewhat like the Body-Fixing Technique in mythological stories!"

On the Juxia ship, Du Kaao's eyes were complex, not knowing what he was thinking.

Angel Yan and Angel Zhui in mid-air were the same, like flapping moths trapped in amber, frozen in mid-air.

"Sister Yan, what happened? I can't move!"

"Not clear, but this power doesn't seem to have any malice?"

Angel Yan immediately began to roll her eyes, uploading everything happening before her to the angel network.

Meiluo Heavenly Court——

"This grayish-white aura field? It doesn't seem to be technology. Old vixen, get to work!" Kesha looked at the Blue Star frozen by the aura field through the angel network, and then began to summon Hexi.

"You tomboy, I saw it long ago. My Tianji computer's computing power is not enough, lend me your computing power!" Hexi's voice came over, sounding somewhat exasperated.

On Demon One, the entire spaceship came to a standstill. Morgana was continuously spewing foul words, and all the demons were similarly frozen in place.

"Bitch, I swear—Karl, you dead man, didn't you say it was just a pre-nuclear civilization? I—"

Styx Galaxy

Death God Karl had fanatical eyes: "Is this the power of the Void? As expected, the Void is the ultimate form of life!! My philosophy is not wrong!!"

Sino at the side didn't even dare to breathe heavily. Had the Death God gone mad?

——

Regarding the reactions of these technological gods, Ye Qingxuan didn't care in the least. He casually released the sleeping kitten, handed it to Bai Yuekui, turned around, and teleported away.

Bai Yuekui took Xiaojiu with a blank face and held it in her arms: "Where did Qingxuan go? What personal grievances?"

Lin Lei scratched his head: "How should I put it? It's..."

Duyuan also added from the side. After a short while, Bai Yuekui came to a realization, her eyes full of surprise: "Qingxuan holds grudges like this?"

Duyuan: "People of the Daoist sect are all of this virtue; there's nothing to make a fuss about."

At this moment, the kitten woke up and stretched lazily in Bai Yuekui's arms: "Meow, so stuffy, hmm? Female fatty, it's you!"

Xiaojiu saw clearly who was holding it, and the phrase "female fatty" blurted out. Bai Yuekui's face darkened instantly.

Duyuan and Lin Lei exchanged glances and turned around directly. Seeing that it was about to get a beating, Xiaojiu instantly emitted golden light across its entire cat body. As the light dissipated, a seven or eight-year-old little cat-eared girl appeared in place.

"Meow, Sister Bai, do you want to join this meow's Sacred Fire Meow Meow Cult?"

This made Bai Yuekui's eyes shine with brilliance—what a cute little girl!!

At the same time, billions of livestream rooms around the globe completely exploded, dense bullet comments crazily swiping the screen, and everyone was completely dumbfounded.

Bullet comment area——

[A deformed world?]

[What did Master Duyuan mean? Soul Transformation physique and energy, yet barely possessing the strength of the Early Stage Golden Core?]

[What kind of fairy system is this? Calculated this way, it barely exerts one ten-thousandth of its power?]

[That monkey? Is it the Great Sage?]

[Probably not, Duyuan already said it, very weak]

[Damn, what is Daoist Ye doing? Why did he run over to the United States Chosen One's place? Personal grievances?]

[Female fatty? So stuffy? This Lady Sanhua really doesn't know what's good for her]

[Damn! Cat-eared girl!? How did Lady Sanhua transform into this form?]

[So cute!!!]

[Sacred Fire Meow Meow Cult?]

[The sacred fire shines brightly, the sacred fire illuminates brilliantly, all my Disciples, meow meow meow meow!]

—— CCTV Livestream

"Qingxuan went to settle the Karma. Last time, 34 countries led by the United States supported the remnant scum of Japan to found a country. Qingxuan originally wanted to annihilate all those countries, but was stopped by the Heavenly Dao. Now in the National Destiny Space, it is time to settle accounts."

Just as Xiao Sa wanted to say something, Master Yuanxin's voice appeared out of thin air, and he turned his head to look.

In the void, three figures slowly emerged: Master Yuanxin, Celestial Master Zhang, and Li Qiye.

Master Kongming had no time recently and went to prepare for the Water and Land Dharma Assembly. Li Qiye also wanted to attract some talent for the Demonic Path, so he simply came over to do commentary.

Mainly because the Void Return Stage cannot be broken through just by bitter cultivation; if one cannot comprehend it, they will be stuck here for a lifetime.

Xiao Sa: "Daoist Yuanxin, Celestial Master Zhang, Senior Li, you're here!"

Xiao Sa knew Li Qiye. After the recovery of Spiritual Qi, these Sect Heads had come out to advertise quite a bit just to snatch a few geniuses. Sometimes, for a single Genius, a dozen people could stage a full-scale brawl.

Celestial Master Zhang stroked his long beard gently with a face full of appreciative smiles, and slowly spoke: "Revenge should be taken on the spot, and vengeance should never be delayed overnight. This is the true style of my Daoist sect Disciples!"

Li Qiye on the side chuckled softly. As the Palace Master of the Heavenly Demon Palace, though over a hundred years old, his appearance was only that of a mature uncle in his thirties with an extremely charming temperament.

He turned his head to banter with Master Yuanxin, his tone playful:

"Old Daoist Yuanxin, are you sure your Disciple is practicing the Righteous Path? Not even Disciples of our Demonic Path hold grudges as much as he does. Last time he erased hundreds of millions of people with a single palm, and now he wants to completely play the other country to death. He's even more ruthless than us in the Demonic Path."

Master Yuanxin immediately glared at him with annoyance, his tone carrying a trace of anger:

"You old Devil Head, stop talking nonsense! Dare to slander my Disciple as being of the Demonic Path—believe it or not, this old daoist will drag you to the martial arts arena right now to spar!"

Li Qiye immediately shut his mouth sensibly, because he was only in the Middle Stage of the Void Return Stage and couldn't beat Master Yuanxin, so he could only mutter from the side:

"What's wrong with the Demonic Path? The Demonic Path is also one of the Three Thousand Daos, not the Evil Path. Is it wronging you to enter my Demonic Path?"

Celestial Master Zhang still stood at the side smilingly, acting completely like a spectator stoking the flames, wishing nothing more than to watch Li Qiye get disciplined by Master Yuanxin.

Host Xiao Sa stood in place with an awkward smile, not daring to interject a single sentence the whole time. The three people in front of him were all top-tier big shots who had newly broken through to the Void Return Stage.

He knew deeply how terrifying Fanxu Cultivators were—they were completely mobile natural disasters, and every move they made could annihilate a country; they were simply existences he could not afford to provoke.

At the same time, the bullet comments in the whole network's livestream rooms crazily swiped the screen.

[A revenge spanning ten generations can still be avenged; truly worthy of being a member of my Daoist sect!]

[Buddhism urges you to forgive; Daoism has an unstable Dao Heart and must strike; Demonic Path: If he doesn't die, I can't sleep!]

[Not to mention, Daoist Ye's style of doing things really does look a bit like the Demonic Path!]

[part:gemini-3.6-flash]

[User above, don't joke around! Daoist experts can divine the future; be careful not to get targeted by the big shots!]

[Big shots, my account was hacked just now!]

[Holy crap! Last time Daoist Ye killed over a hundred million people with one palm strike?! Didn't they say it was only a few million?]

['Only' a few million? How can you even use the word 'only' here?]

[Daoist Ye looks so gentle and mild, without an ounce of Killing Intent on him. Who would have thought he'd be so ruthless?]

[What kind of delusion is the user above having? Who told you Daoist Ye was gentle?]

[Exactly! Did you forget how Japan was wiped out by him directly? And that human emperor banner, who could withstand that?]

[Putting it that way, true indeed. Worthy of being our Daoist Sect's ruthless powerhouse!]

Mount Mao's Shangqing Sect—

Qingling had already broken through to Half-step Integration through Dual Cultivation, focusing single-mindedly on charging towards the true Body Integration Stage as soon as possible.

Only at the Body Integration Realm could she conceive a child belonging to the two of them with Ye Qingxuan.

She had originally prepared to enter secluded cultivation, but seeing the scenes in the National Fortune Live Broadcast Room, watching Ye Qingxuan's actions and the little cat's blurted words, she couldn't help but smile faintly, completely unbothered.

Ye Qingxuan was the Son of the Heavenly Dao of this era; no matter how much trouble he caused, nothing would happen to him. As for Xiao Jiu, such an adorable little cat, Bai Yuekui certainly wouldn't hurt her.

On the other side, the three Senior Brothers—Qingming, Qingyun, and Qingmo—were also staring at the live stream, shaking their heads helplessly.

The few of them turned their heads, their gazes falling onto the roof beam.

Ximo was hung directly in mid-air from the roof beam. It was Ximo who had instigated Xiao Jiu to transform, directly turning her into a catgirl.

Previously, Ye Qingxuan didn't have time to deal with him, but now that things had settled down, as his Master, Qingming naturally had to give him a good beating.

To the side, Disciple Xiyue looked piteously at her several Junior Martial Uncles, full of hope that they would deal with him leniently and spare Ximo this once.

Ximo had been placed under a Silence Curse and had grievances he couldn't speak of, only able to hang in mid-air in frustration.

Qingming held a flexible Heart-Calming Whip in his hand, raising his hand to lash it again and again against Ximo's buttocks.

Qingyun was constantly fanning the flames from the side.

Qingmo stood to the side, looking as though he couldn't bear to watch.

He was quite calm in his heart: It was just superficial injuries anyway; throwing a healing Medicinal Pill at him later would have him lively and kicking in no time.

The screen instantly cut back to the Tianhe Battlefield in the National Destiny Space.

The four United States Chosen Ones, frozen in place, stared intently at Ye Qingxuan and his group of four who had suddenly teleported into view.

The four of them—Captain America, Hulk, Thor the God of Thunder, and Homelander—were stiff all over and unable to move, with nothing left in their eyes but extreme terror.

Ye Qingxuan looked calmly at the four United States Chosen Ones before him. With a casual wave of his hand, he broke the Body-Freezing Restriction on them.

The moment the restraint was lifted, Captain America, Hulk, Thor, and Homelander were scared out of their wits. Exchanging glances, they didn't even dare think about fighting, turning around to flee frantically.

Thor accumulated power as he ran, abruptly hurling the Meow-Meow Hammer toward Ye Qingxuan, intending to force him back and seize the chance to escape.

Ye Qingxuan lightly raised a finger, freezing the speeding Mjölnir in mid-air, and casually drew the hammer into his hand:

"The Materials are decent, but the forging craftsmanship is far too crude—a complete waste of precious resources. This poor Daoist shall accept this item."

With a stroke of his fingertip, he completely erased all the imprints left on the divine hammer by Thor.

Thor shook violently, his face turning pale as paper. Clearly sensing his connection with the hammer completely severed, he roared in heartbreak, "NO—!!"

Before the four could escape any further, Ye Qingxuan made a clutching motion with his five fingers across space. Instantly, an invisible massive hand gripped the four tightly. Raising a palm, he shattered all the bones in their bodies, leaving them completely deprived of the ability to move or resist, barely hanging on to their last breath.

Having done this, Ye Qingxuan raised his eyes to gaze across the various battlefields, his thoughts shifting.

His vast and boundless Divine Sense condensed into a sky-shading, invisible giant hand that spanned the entire Blue Star battlefield, seizing the tens of millions of the Taotie army out of mid-air and moving them all to this location.

Everyone in the Tianhe Battlefield, urban war zones of various countries, and even the capitals of all nations witnessed with their own eyes this terrifying giant hand spanning heaven and earth, instantly sweeping away all invading Taotie.

All super soldiers, citizens, and troops froze on the spot, before their eyes filled with awe, madly shouting in their hearts!

"Is it a deity? We're saved!"

In mid-air, the two leaders of the Taotie, King Taotie and General Kunpeng, were frightened out of their wits. Looking at that invincible giant hand, they shouted in despair within their hearts, "My God Karl! Save me!!"

No one answered.

Ye Qingxuan gently wrapped his magic power around the four severely injured United States Chosen Ones whose bones were shattered, controlling his force with extreme precision.

He only needed the Physical Bodies of the four to make a hundred percent contact with all the Taotie. Since forces are reciprocal, the Chosen Ones colliding with the Taotie was equivalent to all the Taotie attacking them.

He manipulated the four like hidden weapons, sending them shuttling at high speeds through the overwhelming Taotie army, accurately striking every single Taotie.

Controlling the force throughout the entire process, not a single Taotie was missed, all touched by the Physical Bodies of the four Chosen Ones.

A quarter of an hour later, the contact judgment was completed for all tens of millions of Taotie, and the penalty conditions were completely maximized.

Ye Qingxuan casually revoked his protective magic power and released the restraint on the Taotie as well.

Stripped of protection and suffering from compound fractures all over, the four United States Chosen Ones were instantly mobbed and torn apart frantically by the tens of millions of the Taotie army, completely dying in a flash.

[Ding! All four Chosen Ones of the United States Empire have died. The National Destiny Dungeon mission has failed!]

[Will the United States Empire consume National Destiny to resurrect the Chosen Ones?]

The screen cut back to the United States.

Donald Trump stared at the broadcast screen with eyes full of rage and utmost despair, sweeping all the items off his desk in one motion, cursing incessantly.

He knew full well in his heart that Ye Qingxuan was doing this on purpose; he was retaliating!

A tenfold monster descent meant an army of over a hundred million Taotie; with the national strength of the United States, they couldn't withstand it at all.

Yet resurrecting was a dead end. Ye Qingxuan was guarding the spawn point, killing them once every time they resurrected, directly wiping out the United States' National Destiny.

Resurrection = National Destiny reduced to zero, national destruction.

Giving up on resurrection still left a one-in-a-ten-thousand chance of clinging to life.

Donald Trump was aggrieved to the extreme, gritting his teeth as he issued a nationwide announcement: "The United States gives up on resurrecting all fallen Chosen Ones!"

Before long, the National Destiny prompt sounded:

[Ding! The United States Empire gave up on resurrecting its Chosen Ones. Mission failed!]

[Penalty initiated: United States' National Destiny reduced by 10%...]

[Tenfold monster descent initiated!]

White light instantly blanketed the sky above the entire United States as over a hundred million mechanical Taotie appeared out of thin air, launching an indiscriminate destructive strike against the United States' territory.

Satellites across the globe witnessed this apocalyptic scene in its entirety, leaving the whole world in dead silence.

The thirty-one countries that had followed the United States back then in supporting the remaining remnants of Japan were all trembling in fear, coldness seeping into their marrow. Everyone knew that after settling scores with the United States, they would be next.

At this moment, on Zijin Mountain—

The Grand Elder and Second Elder watched the satellite footage of the entire United States being ravaged by the Taotie army.

The two exchanged a glance, and the Grand Elder spoke slowly, his tone calm yet filled with the certainty of a settled matter:

"The United States is completely finished, saving us the trouble of making a move."

"The way I see it, Daoist Ye intends to sweep clean all thirty-odd countries that jumped on the bandwagon back then in one fell swoop."

The Second Elder nodded heavily, filled with emotion:

"Worthy of being a Daoist heir—clear-cut in grievances and gratitude, seeking vengeance for every feud. If the Heavenly Dao hadn't intervened last time, Daoist Ye could have slaughtered all those foreign forces involved in supporting the remnants right then and there."

The personal secretary standing to the side showed a worried expression and asked softly:

"Chiefs, will Daoist Ye destroying nations like this trigger any hidden dangers?"

The Second Elder waved his hand lightly, his tone composed and reassuring:

"No matter, don't worry. This is a task penalty rule inherent to the National Destiny Space. All liquidation, destruction, and descent are judgments tacitly permitted by the Heavenly Dao."

"The Heavenly Dao only stops lynchings. Daoist Ye thoroughly understood this point, which is why he dared to settle old grudges without any scruples."

CCTV Livestream—

Xiao Sa stared at the Taotie army ravaging the United States on camera, muttering to himself with a dazed expression:

"Why do I feel like this scene looks strangely familiar..."

Master Yuanxin smiled faintly, his tone devoid of ripples:

"Is it that surprising? Wasn't Japan's outcome earlier exactly the same?"

Celestial Master Zhang stood to the side, merely stroking his beard with a faint smile, watching the show silently without saying a word.

Only Li Qiye, standing beside them, had eyes that suddenly lit up strikingly, staring intently at Ye Qingxuan's decisive and merciless demeanor on screen, his eyes filled with utmost appreciation and covetousness.

Master Yuanxin caught sight of his gaze, his heart skipping a beat as he instantly grew vigilant: What does this old Devil Head want to do?

Little did he know that Li Qiye had long been making shrewd calculations in his mind.

Ye Qingxuan possessed matchless talent, overwhelming Luck, and peerless decisiveness in slaughter—a proper peerless Prodigy of this age who couldn't be poached at all.

Since I can't steal him as a Disciple, I'll send him my Disciple!

It just so happens that my Disciple Yun Huan has superb natural talent, a peerless beauty, and a Heart-Nature that is... pure and good??

Thinking of this, Li Qiye couldn't help but want to cover his conscience.

Most importantly: she never forgot Ye Qingxuan, shamelessly chasing after him all these years.

If worse comes to worst, I'll just package Yun Huan up and send her straight to Ye Qingxuan's bed!

The more Li Qiye thought about it, the more delighted he felt.

Feasible! Extremely feasible!

Once Ye Qingxuan becomes a world-invincible mighty figure in the future, won't I directly become his father-in-law?!

At this thought, the corners of Li Qiye's mouth couldn't help curving into an unbridled, wicked smile.

Master Yuanxin and Celestial Master Zhang looked at his sudden neurotic, wicked smile with bewildered faces, the exact same thought popping up in their minds simultaneously:

What kind of madness is this Devil Head suffering from?

The host Xiao Sa froze on the spot, a polite yet awkward smile fixed on his face, not daring to interject at all.

The bullet chats across all online livestream rooms exploded into a frenzy once again!

[Holy crap! Daoist Ye is truly badass! Moving to action the moment he decides, without a single word of nonsense!]

[Everything is completely set now, the veteran hegemon United States is just gone!]

[Hegemon my foot! Ever since the National Destiny Space opened and Spiritual Qi revived, the United States has been yesterday's news.]

[Next it's time for those bandwagon dogs!]

[Guess which country Daoist Ye will settle scores with next?]

[Blind guess, Britain! That veteran troublemaker must die first!]

[I vote for Australia! They jumped around the highest back then!]

[One by one, no one escapes; all thirty-plus countries settled one after another!]

[With National Destiny rules backing it up, Daoist Ye destroying nations is completely legal this time. So awesome!]
