57: Tianyu Sect is destroyed!

(End of Five Updates)

Outside the Lingyun Sect mountain gate, two peerless figures—one old, one young—stood facing each other.

A faint scent of blood permeated the air, and the Battle Intent grew increasingly intense during their standoff.

"Shen Lian! You beast! Do you really think I can't deal with you?"

Old Ancestor Tianyu roared, ignoring the Earth Qi and electrical currents still unrefined within her body, and immediately launched a palm strike, shattering the oppressive atmosphere.

Facing the fierce palm Qi, Shen Lian neither dodged nor retreated, raising one hand slightly to easily catch it.

Boom!

With a loud rumble, shockwaves swept the surroundings.

"The Old Ancestor of a Sect only possesses this much strength? Laughable, pathetic!"

After a round of sarcasm, Shen Lian leaped forward, raising his palm and charging toward Old Ancestor Tianyu.

"Yuhua Tianque!"

Old Ancestor Tianyu knew her internal injuries were severe and latent, making prolonged combat unwise, so she sought a quick victory.

Seeing Shen Lian take the initiative to attack, she immediately utilized everything she had learned in her life, intending to blast this wicked Disciple to death.

Instantly, a pair of white wings appeared behind Old Ancestor Tianyu, entirely condensed from True Essence.

Just as Shen Lian's palm strike approached, she fiercely flapped the wings on her back.

Immediately, fierce Protective Aura winds erupted, shattering rocks wherever they passed.

"Hm?"

Shen Lian uttered a sound of surprise, sidestepped the incoming Protective Aura wind, and immediately raised a finger.

"Is this the extent of what you, Old Wall Lamp, rely on?"

Old Ancestor Tianyu did not reply, only continuously activated the True Essence within her body.

Now, there was only one thought in her mind.

That was to kill Shen Lian!

"Tianyu Shentao!"

As the ultimate move was activated, tens of thousands of white feathers transformed into a towering sea of feathers, rushing directly toward Shen Lian.

In an instant, the feathers formed a massive cocoon around Shen Lian, tightly enveloping him.

"Little Beast, this is the price for defying me!"

Old Ancestor Tianyu, confident of victory, immediately declared her triumph.

As long as Shen Lian died, she would be safe. She would then find those seven carefully cultivated Disciples; with their help, why fear being unable to rebuild the Heavenly Feather Sect?

"Shen Lian, do you know? I was using you from the very beginning!"

"If I hadn't seen you as useful back then, why would I have agreed to let Shen Chuyun take you in?"

"Your sole purpose was to be a stepping stone for Ye Fan!"

Watching the feather cocoon form, completely encompassing Shen Lian's figure, Old Ancestor Tianyu's face began to twist rapidly due to extreme excitement.

"Inside the Tianyu Shentao, every feather can generate a Protective Aura wind strong enough to tear apart high-grade granite."

"No matter how outstanding your Physique is, you absolutely cannot withstand the baptism of these tens of thousands of Protective Aura winds. Hahaha, Shen Lian, suffer extreme pain and die!"

Old Ancestor Tianyu laughed maniacally, feeling that she had completely seized the initiative.

However... "You think you can kill me, Shen Lian, just like this?"

"Old Wall Lamp, you're celebrating far too soon!"

A furious roar erupted from within the feather cocoon, instantly shaking apart the remaining feathers still pressing in.

"What? You're still not dead? How is that possible..."

"Hahahaha!"

A wild laugh echoed throughout heaven and earth.

The next moment, visible cracks emitting blue light appeared on the previously sealed feather cocoon.

Boom~

Until a shocking explosion occurred, and the feather cocoon instantly shattered into pieces.

Shen Lian, fanning himself with his Folding Fan, drifted down from the air.

"Impossible! How could you be completely unharmed?"

Seeing Shen Lian appear before her completely unscathed, Old Ancestor Tianyu's eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

Shen Lian snorted lightly: "Even the Heavenly Dao Lightning Tribulation couldn't harm me in the slightest. What does a little breeze and drizzle count for?"

He then pointed a finger: "Old Wall Lamp, that was all your strength, right? Now, it's time to try one of my moves."

Old Ancestor Tianyu's scalp went numb, and before Shen Lian's voice had even faded, she quickly retreated a hundred steps.

But... "Run? How far can you run?"

Shen Lian's left hand condensed, and instantly, the surrounding Spiritual Qi surged wildly.

Finally, a solidified Divine Sword slowly formed in his hand.

"What? Is this Wuchen Sword Intent?"

"Wrong!"

Amidst Old Ancestor Tianyu's shock, Shen Lian let out a deep shout, and his figure instantly transformed into light and vanished.

Old Ancestor Tianyu instinctively sensed something was wrong, just as she was about to evade.

Pfft—

The sword condensed from Spiritual Qi directly pierced through her protective Protective Aura and ran through her chest.

"Ugh~"

The moment the Spiritual Sword entered her body, Old Ancestor Tianyu groaned, feeling her vitality rapidly draining away, and she glared venomously at Shen Lang.

"Little Beast, don't get complacent, I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Lian raised his left hand, and the great dao human sovereign cauldron instantly activated.

The moment the Dao Rhyme Law impacted, Old Ancestor Tianyu's body disintegrated into fragments that scattered across the world, all under her shocked gaze.

When she awoke again, she found herself inside a Cauldron.

"Old Wall Lamp, now that your Physical Body is destroyed, your Divine Soul is currently inside this Medicine Cauldron. Try experiencing what it's like for a Divine Soul to be refined into a Medicinal Pill."

Hearing this, Old Ancestor Tianyu was struck by lightning, her face instantly turning as white as paper, and she screamed frantically: "Shen Lian, how can you treat me like this? I am your Old Ancestor!

Now that my Physical Body is completely destroyed, shouldn't your Qi be satisfied? From now on, can we let bygones be bygones?"

"Let bygones be bygones? Old Wall Lamp, do you think you are qualified to negotiate terms with me now?

If I don't make your Divine Soul perish completely, how can I swallow this resentment!"

Before his voice fell, the Great Dao Medicine Cauldron began spinning wildly like a runaway horse.

The moment the Candle Blood Dao Flame, which burns Divine Souls, suddenly erupted, Old Ancestor Tianyu let out a bloodcurdling scream like a pig being slaughtered.

"No! Shen Lian, I know I was wrong! I beg you to spare me!"

Shen Lian: "No, you don't know you were wrong; you just know you're about to die. I still prefer the look you had when you were high above, viewing me as an ant. Hahahaha."

The invisible Great Dao True Flame simmered slowly inside the human emperor cauldron. The spacetime flow rate of one breath equaling sixty years subjected Old Ancestor Tianyu's remaining Divine Soul to the most painful torment she had ever experienced.

"So painful, so painful!"

"Devil! You are a devil!"

"Ah!"

A moment later, the agonizing screams ceased.

In Shen Lian's hand, there was now a milky white Medicinal Pill.

This was a nine-pattern tribulation crossing pill condensed from Old Ancestor Tianyu's lifetime of cultivation.

"After today, the Heavenly Feather Sect has completely become history! Hahaha."

With the death of Old Ancestor Tianyu, Shen Lian felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

This was the first true grudge Shen Lian had settled.

"Don't rush, there are still seven more. None of you can escape. I will slowly uproot all of you, along with the forces behind you, one by one."

Clenching his fist, Shen Lian was about to look for his next target when he noticed Ye Fan lying unconscious outside the mountain gate.

"I almost forgot about you, trash. A beast should end this ridiculous life with a beast's death."

Recalling the slaughterhouse he had seen in Tianyuan City, a cruel smile appeared on Shen Lian's lips.

Walking up to Ye Fan, he grabbed him, summoned the netherworld chariot, and quickly fled into the distance.

As soon as Shen Lian left, Ling Mofeng immediately transformed into light and appeared within the Sect Protection Array.

"Alas, although the Heavenly Feather Sect deserved this outcome, Shen Lian's temperament has become so tyrannical that it might affect his future cultivation.

I must contact Fellow Daoist Shen. Only she in this world can soothe Shen Lian's heart..."

Thinking this, Ling Mofeng immediately took out a Sect Talisman and notified the Disciples to search for traces of Shen Chuyun.
