How dare you?

At this moment, Ling Tian only wanted to tear into ten thousand pieces all those people from the Fengtian Hall in the Lower Realm.

If they were already dead, he would drag them out of their graves and kill them ten thousand more times, then kill their entire families and even their nine generations ten thousand times over.

Because once the Lower Realm's curse was contracted, it would sever one's path to Immortal Ascension.

Therefore, the Four Great Immortal Sects could only send down individuals of the Great Emperor level.

To be honest, even a Three Tribulation Emperor was merely cannon fodder within the Four Great Immortal Sects.

How could such individuals, whom he usually wouldn't even bother to glance at, have provoked an enemy of this caliber for the Shangqing Immortal Sect?

No... buddies...

Ling Tian just wanted to ask, how in the world did you dare?

Things that aren't even worthy of picking my toes dared to provoke a True Immortal?

If the Nether Emperor and others, whose ashes had long since cooled, knew Ling Tian's thoughts at this moment, they would surely cry out in injustice.

How could they have imagined that Zhong Qing was a being of such a caliber?

One must know that Zhong Qing wasn't even a Quasi-Emperor when he was in the Lower Realm.

Moreover, who above the Pseudo-Immortal realm would risk severing their Dao path to run to the Lower Realm?

Ling Tian also couldn't understand why a being like Zhong Qing would be in the Lower Realm.

Not only him, but even the people from the Yuhua Immortal Sect on the side showed surprise upon hearing this.

Senior Zhong Qing came from the Lower Realm?

How is that possible?

Going to the First Heaven would incur a curse!

Could it be that the curse severs one's path to Immortal Ascension, but Senior Zhong Qing was already a True Immortal, so he wasn't afraid?

That doesn't make sense either; if that were the case, then after the Fengtian Hall was cursed in ancient times, the True Immortals originally stationed in the Lower Realm wouldn't have hastily withdrawn.

However, whether it made sense or not was no longer important; things had reached this point, and everything was already set in stone.

Ling Tian took a deep breath, staring intently at Zhong Qing.

"The reason is no longer important; what's important is that my Shangqing Immortal Sect is finished."

"But even if you are a True Immortal, don't expect to have an easy time."

A crazed smile appeared on his face: "If you merely kill everyone in my Shangqing Immortal Sect, it probably won't alarm the Upper Realm."

"But that punch of yours just now destroyed the Shangqing Cave Heaven."

"This will certainly alarm my School's True Immortal Ancestor to descend to the Lower Realm."

"The Ancestors of my Four Great Immortal Sects all achieved Immortal Ascension countless eons ago; even among True Immortals, they are considered strong, and their Divine Abilities are boundless."

"He will not let you off easy."

"To drag a True Immortal down with the death of me, Ling Tian, and a generation of the Shangqing Immortal Sect, is worth it!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Amidst the wild laughter, Ling Tian's phantom flickered for a moment before completely dissipating.

Zhong Qing was not surprised by what he said, as Xu Qianfeng had already warned him earlier.

At this moment, Xu Qianfeng also regained his composure. He first glanced at Zhong Qing, seeing that his expression was calm and unperturbed.

Only then did he wave his hand and shout.

"Ling Tian is dead! Everyone, follow me to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, annihilating the Shangqing Immortal Sect!"

The rest of the people also reacted, shouting in agreement.

Dozens of Yuhua Immortal Sect powerhouses scattered, beginning to hunt down the remnants of the Shangqing Immortal Sect.

The Elders and Protectors outside the entrance had already been wounded by the aftermath when Xu Qianfeng invoked the power of the Yuhua Cave Heaven to break open the Shangqing Cave Heaven's entrance.

Now that Ling Tian was dead, they also lost the protection of the Cave Heaven and had no power to resist.

Almost in the blink of an eye, they were all slaughtered by the group of powerhouses led by the Grand Elder.

Inside the Shangqing Cave Heaven, shouts of battle echoed everywhere.

Without their Sect Leader and a group of top powerhouses, the Shangqing Immortal Sect had no power to resist.

Before this battle, Ling Tian had clearly made preparations; apart from the high-level powerhouses and ordinary Disciples, he had quietly sent away some young Genius Disciples.

However, the Second Heaven was only so large; with Xu Qianfeng ordering the pursuit, they wouldn't be able to hide for long unless they fled to the Lower Realm.

If they truly went to the Lower Realm and contracted the curse, their path to Immortal Ascension would be severed, which was no different from death, making further pursuit unnecessary.

One of the Four Great Immortal Sects, which had dominated the Second Heaven for countless years, was thus annihilated.

The various forces outside the Cave Heaven and the people from the other two Great Immortal Sects watched with immense shock.

They had originally thought that the war between the two Great Immortal Sects would be a protracted battle affecting the entire Second Heaven.

Unexpectedly, it had just begun and was already over.

And all of this was thanks to that mysterious young man.

The Second Heaven had not seen a True Immortal's trace for many years, and the young man who appeared now was, without a doubt, a True Immortal!

Although the outcome of the battle was decided, no one left.

Everyone knew that the appearance of such a True Immortal and the annihilation of one of the Four Great Immortal Sects.

Would surely bring earth-shattering changes to the Second Heaven.

Moreover, some harbored the thought of finding an opportunity to establish a connection with this True Immortal Senior.

Meanwhile, Sect Leader Zun Tianyu and Xiang Wuxia exchanged glances; amidst their shock, they both saw confusion in each other's eyes.

With such a huge commotion, why wasn't the Guardian alarmed?

Xu Qianfeng also mentioned this to Zhong Qing.

"Senior Zhong, although even my Four Great Immortal Sects do not have True Immortals permanently stationed in the various forces of the Second Heaven, it is said that there are Guardians sent by the Upper Realm hidden in the shadows, maintaining the Heavenly Fate Tablet."

"Although they never interfere in the power struggles of the Second Heaven, no one has seen them for millions of years, even a Sect Leader like myself."

"But Senior's action this time was truly too grand; it might alarm them, so you still need to be careful."

"Guardians?" Zhong Qing stroked his chin; the reason he remained here was to wait for the Old Ancestor of the Shangqing Immortal Sect, but he didn't expect to involve some Guardians.

Why did things feel increasingly troublesome? He hoped these Guardians wouldn't cause him trouble.

At the same moment.

At the peak of the Second Heaven, beneath the heavenly barrier, within the Sky Secret Realm.

Three figures were working exhaustively to refine Immortal Crystals and repair the heavenly barrier.

The punch from an unknown assailant earlier had shattered the heavenly barrier of the Second Heaven and severely damaged that of the Third Heaven.

From that day until now, they hadn't rested for a single day, working day and night to repair it.

After weighing the pros and cons, they decided to repair the Third Heaven's heavenly barrier first.

After all, the Third Heaven's heavenly barrier was less damaged and easier to repair at this time; if delayed, the damage might further expand.

As for the Second Heaven's heavenly barrier, it was already so broken that there was no difference between repairing it earlier or later.

The three cursed through gritted teeth as they repaired.

"Which son of a bitch is this? There's no end to it, is there? You really know how to cause trouble for people. If I catch you, I'll have to—"

Their curses caught in their throats halfway through.

Given the power of that punch, if they truly found that person, it seemed they couldn't defeat him either?

At this thought, their resentment deepened.

Just then, a Qi emanated from the other side of the Third Heaven's heavenly barrier.

"Hmm? Who is it? Someone wants to descend to the Lower Realm at a time like this?"

One person spoke, sounding puzzled.

"Oh, it's that old fellow from the Yuhua Sect. Should we let him pass?"

"Whatever, we don't have time to bother with him now. As long as he doesn't cause trouble, let him pass!"
