92: Chapter 92 The Holy Land Was Sinked!

The ten thousand soul banner was planted in the very center of the Tianque Holy Land's ancestral grounds, its flagpole buried deep into the earth, the banner snapping loudly in the wind.

Ink-black Devilish Qi surged forth from the banner, like countless ferocious venomous snakes, spreading wildly in all directions until it finally formed a grand formation that shrouded the entire Holy Land!

Wherever the Devilish Qi passed, Spiritual Qi was devoured, and vitality was plundered.

Those mountain Peaks that were originally rich in Spiritual Qi and wreathed in Immortal Qi withered rapidly under the erosion of the Devilish Qi; vegetation withered, streams dried up, and Spirit Beasts and Yao Beasts fled frantically, letting out shrill roars.

The magnificent palaces began to crack; the formation patterns on the walls dimmed, their spiritual light dissipating, leaving the entire palace teetering on the verge of collapse.

"No——!!!"

The voice of Holy King Tianque came from the depths of the ancestral grounds, filled with irrepressible anger and despair.

He desperately circulated the spiritual power within his body, trying to break free from the force suppressing him.

The terrifying aura of the ninth level of the Saint King Realm erupted, and the entire ancestral grounds trembled violently!

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

Holy King Tianque's face turned livid, veins bulged on his forehead, and his eyes were filled with madness.

He had lived for tens of thousands of years and had cultivated until now; what great storms had he not seen?

But at this moment, he truly felt a sense of powerlessness.

This was an absolute suppression of strength.

In front of a quasi-Emperor, the Saint King Realm was nothing more than a slightly larger ant.

"Holy King!"

Great Sage Huolin and Great Sage Guishou also rushed into the ancestral grounds, both of their faces deathly pale, their entire bodies trembling.

"Join forces! Break this grand formation!"

Great Sage Huolin roared, his internal spiritual power surging wildly. He formed hand seals, and a blazing flame erupted from his palms, transforming into a roaring fire Dragon that lunged toward the ten thousand soul banner!

Great Sage Guishou was not to be outdone; his hands turned into claws, and ten sharp black claw-lights tore through the Void Realm, heading straight for the ten thousand soul banner!

Holy King Tianque gritted his teeth, exerted all his strength, and struck out with a palm!

Three attacks from those above the Great Saint Realm, carrying world-destroying power, slammed fiercely into the ten thousand soul banner!

"Boom——!!!"

An earth-shattering roar exploded!

A storm of spiritual power swept in all directions; the buildings in the ancestral grounds instantly turned to powder, the ground cracked, rubble flew, and smoke and dust filled the air!

However——

The ten thousand soul banner remained unmoved.

It didn't even sway in the slightest.

Those three attacks, capable of destroying a mountain range, struck the ten thousand soul banner like a clay ox entering the sea, not even causing a ripple.

"What?!"

Great Sage Huolin's pupils shrank, his face filled with disbelief.

Great Sage Guishou's face was deathly pale, and his entire body was trembling.

Holy King Tianque was left stunned on the spot, his eyes filled with despair.

"Impossible... This is impossible..."

His voice was hoarse, like someone talking in a dream.

Although the ten thousand soul banner was a saint king weapon, it had long been damaged, and less than one-tenth of its power remained.

If the three of them joined forces, even a complete saint king weapon might not be unshakable!

But the banner before them seemed to have taken root between heaven and earth; no matter how they attacked, it remained unmoved!

"It's that quasi-Emperor... He attached a wisp of Imperial Might to it..."

Holy King Tianque finally realized, his voice trembling.

A single wisp of a quasi-Emperor's Imperial Might was enough to suppress everything.

The three of them, Great Saints and a Holy King, were simply not enough to look at in front of a quasi-Emperor.

"Holy King, what do we do?!"

Great Sage Huolin asked urgently, cold sweat sliding down his cheeks from his forehead.

Holy King Tianque was silent for a moment, a flash of determination in his eyes.

"Burn our essence blood, let's risk it all!"

Before the words fell, a blinding golden light suddenly erupted from within his body!

That was the essence blood of a Saint King Realm expert burning!

His aura began to climb frantically: Peak of the ninth level of the Saint King Realm, Perfection of the Peak of the ninth level of the Saint King Realm...

That Imperial Might was actually shaken by him for a split second!

"I'll join in too!"

Great Sage Huolin gritted his teeth and also burned his essence blood; flames surged around his body, and he transformed into a blazing sun!

Great Sage Guishou was not to be outdone; pitch-black light erupted from his body, like an evil ghost from the abyss!

The three joined forces, their auras connected, frantically assaulting that Imperial Might!

"Rumble——"

The entire Tianque Holy Land trembled violently!

Deep, bottomless cracks split the ground; mountains collapsed, palaces toppled, smoke and dust filled the air, and rubble flew everywhere!

That Imperial Might had actually been shaken!

"There is hope!"

Holy King Tianque's eyes lit up, his voice filled with excitement.

However——

Just at this moment!

Shen Qingyuan, suspended high in the sky, looked down at them.

Just one look.

That gaze was as if he were looking at three ants.

Then, he raised his hand, his slender fingers pressing lightly in the void.

The action was casual and understated.

But it was just this press——

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three muffled thuds exploded almost simultaneously!

Holy King Tianque, Great Sage Huolin, and Great Sage Guishou were all slammed to the ground as if hit by a star!

"Pfft——Pfft——Pfft——"

Three mouthfuls of blood sprayed out, dyeing the ground beneath them red!

The essence blood burning inside them was forcibly extinguished by this single press!

Not only that, but their spiritual power, vitality, and Divine Soul were all tightly suppressed by that force, leaving them unable to move even a single finger!

"How is it possible..."

Holy King Tianque lay on the ground, his face pressed against the cold rock, his eyes filled with despair.

He had burned his essence blood and exerted all his strength, finally managing to shake the Imperial Might a little.

Yet that quasi-Emperor, with just a casual press, rendered all his efforts void.

Is this the strength of a quasi-Emperor?

The gap... is too great...

Shen Qingyuan withdrew his hand, his hands tucked into his sleeves, lazily suspended high in the sky as his gaze swept across the entire Tianque Holy Land.

The ten thousand soul banner was still frantically devouring the Spiritual Qi and vitality within the Holy Land.

Those ordinary Disciples had long been eroded by the Devilish Qi; they lay limp on the ground, faces deathly pale, bodies trembling.

Some had already lost consciousness, while others were still struggling desperately, but it was all in vain.

"That's about enough."

Shen Qingyuan said softly, his tone flat.

He raised his hand, spread his five fingers, and made a light grasping motion toward the ten thousand soul banner.

"Hum——"

The ten thousand soul banner suddenly erupted with blinding black light!

The black light was as intense as ink, shrouding the entire Tianque Holy Land!

Immediately afterward, a terrifying suction force erupted from the ten thousand soul banner, like a black hole, frantically devouring everything in the Holy Land!

Spiritual Qi, vitality, blood energy, Divine Soul...

Everything was being devoured by the ten thousand soul banner!

"No——!!!"

Holy King Tianque let out a shrill scream, his voice filled with despair and unwillingness.

He could clearly feel his spiritual power ebbing away, his vitality drying up, and his Divine Soul being torn apart!

He wanted to struggle, wanted to resist, but that Imperial Might pressed down on him so tightly that he couldn't even move a single finger.

Great Sage Huolin and Great Sage Guishou were no better off; both of their faces were deathly pale, their eyes filled with fear.

They had lived for thousands of years and had never imagined that one day they would fall in such a manner.

To be devoured by a saint king weapon, not even leaving behind a corpse!

"The Venerable Lord... The Venerable Lord will avenge us..."

Holy King Tianque roared hoarsely, his voice growing weaker and weaker.

His body began to become transparent, his spiritual power, vitality, and Divine Soul all completely devoured by the ten thousand soul banner.

Finally——

"Bang!"

His body exploded with a bang, turning into specks of light that dissipated into the air.

A ninth-level Saint King Realm expert, Holy King Tianque, had fallen!

Immediately after——

"Bang! Bang!"

The bodies of Great Sage Huolin and Great Sage Guishou also exploded one after another, turning into specks of light and dissipating.

Two Great Saint Realm experts had fallen!

And then——

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Deep within the Tianque Holy Land, those Elders of the Saint Realm and Dao Seeking Realm also exploded one after another.

Experts above the Saint Realm were not spared.

As for those Disciples of the Primal Chaos Realm, Void Tempering Realm, and Dharma Image Realm——

They were not spared either!

After the ten thousand soul banner devoured the foundation of the Tianque Holy Land, the cracks on the flagpole completely disappeared, and the ferocious faces on the banner became even clearer, exuding a heart-palpitating pressure.

Its aura was more than ten times stronger than before!

Although it had not yet returned to its Peak state, it was already far superior to ordinary saint king weapons.

Shen Qingyuan raised his hand and beckoned; the ten thousand soul banner pulled itself from the ground, turning into a pitch-black stream of light that landed in his hand.

He looked down at the banner in his hand and raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Not bad."

Casually tucking the ten thousand soul banner into his sleeve, Shen Qingyuan glanced at the Holy Land beneath his feet, which had been eroded beyond recognition by the Devilish Qi.

Mountains collapsed, palaces toppled, the ground cracked, and vegetation withered.

The once-cultivation Holy Land, wreathed in Immortal Qi, had now turned into a dead land.

...

Meanwhile.

Outside the Tianque Holy Land, within a radius of ten thousand miles, countless Cultivators looked up at the sky, their faces filled with horror.

The sky had changed.

The originally clear sky suddenly turned ink-black.

A blood-colored moon emerged from the Void Realm, hanging in the horizon, exuding an eerie light.

A blood moon in the sky; heaven and earth mourned together.

A sorrowful, desolate aura permeated, shrouding the entire world.

"This... what is this?!"

"A blood moon in the sky! Heaven and earth mourning together! This is the omen of a Saint's fall!"

"Not just one Saint! Look, several blood moons have appeared in the sky!"

Everyone looked up and saw that seven or eight blood moons had appeared in the sky simultaneously!

Each blood moon represented the fall of a Saint Realm expert!

"Seven... eight... nine... ten..."

Someone counted tremblingly, their voice shaking.

"Good heavens! More than a dozen Saint Realm experts fallen?! How is this possible?!"

"That direction... is the Tianque Holy Land!"

"Tianque Holy Land?! That top Holy Land in the Eastern Wasteland?!"

"What on earth happened?! Who can tell me what on earth happened?!"

Terrified cries rose and fell; everyone was so shocked by this scene that they couldn't speak.

A dozen Saint Realm experts falling simultaneously was an extremely rare event in the history of the Cangxuan Great World!

Especially since these Saint Realm experts all came from the same Holy Land—the Tianque Holy Land!

"The Tianque Holy Land... has been destroyed?"

Someone swallowed, their voice trembling.

"Impossible, right? The Tianque Holy Land has a Saint King Realm Old Ancestor sitting in command! Who could possibly destroy them?"

"But these omens... are clearly signs of a Saint's fall! And they all came from the direction of the Tianque Holy Land!"

"Could it be... that those old monsters in the forbidden zones have taken action?"

"I don't know... but whoever it is, to be able to destroy the Tianque Holy Land, that person's strength must be absolutely terrifying to the extreme!"

People discussed it heatedly, their eyes filled with horror and curiosity.

Some wanted to get closer to the Tianque Holy Land to see what had happened.

But the terrifying aura emanating from the direction of the Holy Land made them recoil.

That was the aura of a quasi-Emperor.

Although Shen Qingyuan had already left, the Imperial Might he left behind lingered for a long time.

Anyone who approached would feel a fear emanating from the depths of their Soul.

That was absolute suppression of strength.

"Let's go... don't look... existences of this level are not ones we can provoke..."

Someone said in a low voice and turned to leave.

Others also scattered, but their hearts could not calm down for a long time.

The Tianque Holy Land was destroyed, and over a dozen Saint Realm experts had fallen.

This news would likely spread throughout the entire Cangxuan Great World before long.

And that mysterious expert who took action would also become the focus of everyone's attention.
