179: Chapter 179 Solo Venture into the Netherworld, The Harvest Begins

[Tang Xun was not someone who liked to suffer losses. Moreover, the Youming Sect had dared to send people to ambush him during his tribulation.]

[This was not just seeking death; it was a display of contempt toward Tang Xun.]

[Such contempt had to be washed away with blood and fire.]

[He didn't plan on bringing anyone else; he preferred to handle things alone.]

[Going solo allowed him to better utilize his greatest advantage—not playing by the rules.]

[Furthermore, he needed an opportunity to thoroughly intimidate the restless forces in the Central Continent.]

[To kill the chicken to warn the monkeys, he would use the Youming Sect as the chicken to be slaughtered.]

[He walked out of his Immortal Cave, where Zhang Ruowei was waiting outside.]

[When she saw Tang Xun, her eyes still held that irrepressible worship and awe.]

[Tang Xun knew that this gaze would be the foundation for his future control over Shenfu Mountain.]

["Grand Elder, what are your orders?" Zhang Ruowei asked respectfully.]

["I am going out for a while," Tang Xun said indifferently. "Take care of the matters within the Sect."]

[Zhang Ruowei's heart tightened, vaguely sensing that something was wrong.]

[The Grand Elder had just broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage, which was the time to consolidate his cultivation. Why was he suddenly leaving?]

["May I ask where the Grand Elder is heading? Does the Disciple need to prepare anything for you?"]

[She asked cautiously, fearing she might anger this powerhouse who kept his emotions hidden.]

["No need," Tang Xun waved his hand. "I'm taking a trip to the Youming Sect."]

[Zhang Ruowei's face instantly turned pale.]

[The Youming Sect?!]

[That was one of the eight major Demonic Path Sects in the Central Continent, with vast power and experts as numerous as clouds.]

[The Grand Elder going to the Youming Sect alone... isn't that like a sheep entering a tiger's den?]

[No, she quickly dismissed her own thought.]

[What kind of person was the Grand Elder?]

[He could withstand even the Nine-Nine Heavy Tribulation and could "casually slap to death" a Middle Stage Nascent Soul demonic Cultivator.]

[How could his visit to the Youming Sect be a sheep entering a tiger's den?]

[It was clearly a case of... pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth!]

[Stormy waves surged in Zhang Ruowei's heart. Looking at Tang Xun's calm profile, she didn't know what to say for a moment.]

[She wanted to persuade him, but the words reached her lips and were swallowed back down.]

[How could a decision made by the Grand Elder be easily changed by a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator like her?]

["Grand Elder, the Youming Sect's power is immense, with many Nascent Soul Cultivators and even Soul Transformation Old Monsters presiding over it. Please be careful on your journey."]

[She could only urge him so, her voice carrying an undisguisable worry.]

[Tang Xun heard the concern in her words and felt a slight touch in his heart.]

[This Maidservant truly held him in her heart.]

["It's fine," Tang Xun said indifferently. "Just a bunch of chickens and dogs."]

[His tone was casual, yet it carried an unquestionable dominance.]

[Hearing this, although Zhang Ruowei was still worried, a strange sense of confidence also arose within her.]

[Perhaps the Grand Elder really could do it?]

[He never fought a battle he wasn't prepared for.]

["The Disciple understands." Zhang Ruowei took a deep breath to calm her emotions. "The Disciple will certainly handle all matters within the Sect properly. Please rest assured, Grand Elder."]

[Tang Xun nodded and said nothing more.]

[He turned around, and with a flash of his body, he transformed into a streak of light, racing toward the direction beyond Qingzhou.]

[His speed was so fast that Zhang Ruowei didn't even have time to say another word before his figure vanished into the horizon.]

[Zhang Ruowei stood in place, watching Tang Xun depart, her heart filled with mixed emotions.]

[Tang Xun sped along at an extremely fast pace.]

[He did not deliberately hide his aura, wantonly releasing the pressure of an Early Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.]

[He wanted everyone to know that he, Tang Xun, had arrived.]

[He wanted the Youming Sect to be prepared to welcome death.]

[The journey from Qingzhou to the headquarters of the Youming Sect was long.]

[But for a Nascent Soul Cultivator, this distance was nothing.]

[Along the way, he passed many cities and Sects.]

[The Cultivators in those places, sensing his powerful aura, all moved out of the way.]

[Some bold ones swept their Divine Sense from afar, but only dared a hurried glance before immediately retracting it.]

[What they felt was not just the power of the Nascent Soul Stage, but a bottomless terror.]

[Tang Xun paid them no mind; he only wanted to reach the Youming Sect as quickly as possible.]

[During his journey, he was also constantly familiarizing himself with and mastering his newly born power.]

[The magical power of the five elements nascent soul was indeed more than a hundred times stronger than that of the Core Formation Stage.]

[Moreover, because it was a five elements nascent soul, his power circulation was smoother, and his attack methods were more diverse.]

[The sharpness of Metal, the vitality of Wood, the flexibility of Water, the explosiveness of Fire, and the heaviness of Earth.]

[These powers merged perfectly within his body, following his every whim.]

[His Physical Body, in particular, filled him with confidence.]

[At the early fifth level of the Savage God Dragon Transformation Art, every inch of muscle and every bone seemed to contain power capable of destroying heaven and earth.]

[He even felt that if he wished, he could shatter a small mountain with a single punch.]

[This power gave him the confidence to face any challenge from the Youming Sect.]

[Three days later, Tang Xun finally reached the sphere of influence of the Youming Sect.]

[The environment here was completely different from Qingzhou.]

[The sky was gloomy, the land was desolate, and the air was filled with a thick Yin-Evil Qi.]

[Some low-level demonic Cultivators appeared in the wilderness, practicing various strange Cultivation Techniques.]

[Tang Xun did not hide his tracks; he flew directly toward the headquarters of the Youming Sect.]

[The Youming Sect's headquarters was built within a mountain range shrouded in Devilish Qi.]

[Looking from afar, black clouds rolled above the mountain range, and ghostly Qi was thick, making people tremble with fear.]

[This was the foundation of the Youming Sect.]

[Tang Xun stopped on a mountain peak at the periphery of the Youming Sect's headquarters.]

[He was in no hurry to act, instead using his Divine Sense to scan the entire Youming Sect headquarters meticulously.]

[The Youming Sect's Mountain-Protecting Array was indeed extraordinary, capable of blocking most Divine Sense probes.]

[But Tang Xun's Divine Sense, after the baptism of the Heart Demon Tribulation and the enhancement of [Divine Sense Double (Green)], had become exceptionally powerful.]

[He could clearly sense many powerful auras hidden within the array.]

[There were indeed many Nascent Soul Cultivators.]

[He even sensed a faint, even more powerful aura—deep and ancient—which was clearly the Soul Transformation Old Monster of the Youming Sect.]

[Tang Xun sneered in his heart.]

[This was exactly the effect he wanted.]

[He wanted the Soul Transformation Old Monster of the Youming Sect to personally experience what fear was.]

[He wanted all the Cultivators in the Central Continent to remember his name, Tang Xun.]

[He no longer hesitated and launched the first strike directly toward the Youming Sect's headquarters.]

[He extended his right hand, and within his palm, five-colored spiritual light flowed.]

[Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—the power of the Five Elements converged in his palm, eventually transforming into a giant, multi-colored palm print.]

["Boom!"]

[The palm print, carrying a world-destroying momentum, slammed fiercely into the Youming Sect's Mountain-Protecting Array.]

[Tang Xun did not hold back with this strike.]

[What he wanted was not a test, but to directly tear apart the Youming Sect's defenses.]

[The terrifying loud noise instantly spread throughout the entire Youming Sect.]

[The Mountain-Protecting Array shook violently, the light screen distorted, and it emitted a burdened hum.]

[Inside the array, countless Youming Sect Disciples were startled by the sudden attack, rushing out of their Immortal Caves and looking at the sky in terror.]

["Enemy attack! There's an enemy attack!"]

["Who is it?! Who dares to come to my Youming Sect to act wildly?!"]

[Angry roars rose one after another within the Youming Sect.]

[But when they saw Tang Xun suspended in mid-air, his body radiating five-colored spiritual light, all voices came to an abrupt halt.]

[Nascent Soul Stage!]

[The visitor was actually a powerhouse of the Nascent Soul Stage! Moreover, looking at this momentum, he was by no means an ordinary Early Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.]

[For a moment, panic spread among the people within the Youming Sect.]

[Tang Xun did not give them a chance to breathe.]

[He raised his hand again, and another five-colored palm print slammed down fiercely.]

["Boom! Boom! Boom!"]

[Three consecutive palm prints, like three giant mountains, smashed heavily onto the Mountain-Protecting Array.]

["Crack!"]

[A crisp sound of cracking.]

[The Youming Sect's Mountain-Protecting Array finally could not hold on and a huge crack appeared.]
