285: Imperfection is jade, is kingship (24)

At this unbelievable scene, heaven and earth fell silent.

Whether it was the powerhouses of the Chen Family, the various Prodigies watching from a distance, or the powerful Divine Thoughts hidden in the Void Realm, all fell completely silent at this moment.

They were momentarily stunned, completely unable to understand what had just happened.

Slaying a Heavenly Venerable with a single sword strike?

"This boy... just who is he?"

"Not only has he nurtured the unique Supreme Body of all ages, but he even triggered a resonance with the Sword Intent left behind by Ancestor Chen..."

You Xuanji's heart was filled with immense shock.

Wang Yun gave the simple and ancient scabbard a gentle push toward You Xuanji.

The scabbard transformed into a streak of light and returned to You Xuanji, becoming plain and unremarkable once more, as if that heaven-shaking sword strike had nothing to do with it.

"Returning it to its original owner."

Wang Yun's voice was calm, showing no hint of emotion.

You Xuanji carefully took the scabbard.

Immediately after, he turned around, and his gentle face was instantly filled with killing intent.

When a Saint is enraged, the pressure is terrifying.

"The Chen Family, what a fine Chen Family."

You Xuanji's voice wasn't loud, but it resonated throughout the entire Great Nether Sacred Capital.

"Assassinating a distinguished guest of the Sacred Dynasty within the Sacred Capital."

"This crime is punishable by death!"

He directly issued the order, his voice ringing out with majesty.

"By my Sacred Decree, the Great You Imperial Guard is to mobilize immediately to blockade the Chen Family estate and investigate this matter thoroughly!"

"Anyone who resists shall be killed without mercy!"

With the order given, the atmosphere of the entire Great Nether Sacred Capital instantly became solemn and murderous... Soon, a shocking piece of news spread from the deepest part of the Chen Family Forbidden Ground.

A massive 'Demon-Nurturing Blood Formation' had been discovered.

That Formation was built from the bones of countless living beings; within the blood-colored Formation patterns flowed nauseating resentment and Death Qi.

In the center of the blood Formation, within several ancient coffins forged from Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice, lay several mangled bodies that were on the verge of death yet still radiated the pressure of a Venerable.

They were the Distant Ancestors of the Chen Family whose Lifespans should have long since been exhausted.

They were not dead.

Instead, they were using this evil secret method to linger on, nurturing their broken Dao fruits.

And the energy providing for this blood Formation was the Origin and Divine Soul of countless young Cultivators.

Around the blood Formation, bones were piled up like mountains, among which were many brilliant young Prodigies; they died miserable deaths, their Divine Souls drained and their Origins squeezed dry.

When this scene of irrefutable evidence was made public through memory crystals,

The entire Northern Plains was in an uproar.

Countless Sects and Families who had Prodigy Disciples mysteriously disappear near the Sacred Capital were filled with public indignation upon seeing those familiar bones.

"Chen Family! Give me back my Disciple's life!"

"Insane! To actually feed on our clan's Qilin children to sustain your ancestors!"

A wave of condemnation swept across the entire Northern Plains.

The Great You Sacred Dynasty followed the public will and conducted the severest judgment on the Chen Family.

All the masterminds involved, including those few lingering Chen Family Distant Ancestors, were all taken outside the Sacred Capital and executed in front of all Northern Plains forces, their Divine Souls completely obliterated.

The Chen Family's ten-thousand-year Foundation was entirely confiscated.

From then on, the Chen Family, once one of the five great families of Great You that flourished in the Northern Plains, was completely wiped out... "Little friend, this is the 'Hongmeng Origin Qi' confiscated from the Chen Family treasury."

You Xuanji solemnly handed a box made of divine jade to Wang Yun.

"This item, though not originally belonging to the Chen Family, was obtained by that Old Ghost Xuan Ming at a great cost from a Grandmist Secret Realm in his early years."

"Now, I give it to you, little friend."

Wang Yun's eyes lit up as he looked at that wisp of purple-gold air.

He didn't stand on ceremony and accepted it directly.

"Senior is very thoughtful."

He knew this was the Great You Sacred Dynasty showing him goodwill and also making an investment.

Seeing him accept it, You Xuanji smiled with satisfaction... One year later.

On this day, the clouds and winds shifted over the Great Nether Sacred Capital.

An extremely powerful aura rose into the sky from the Secret Realm within the imperial palace.

That aura triggered a resonance with the Laws of heaven and earth, manifesting a vast phenomenon of divine dragons dancing in the sky and immortal phoenixes crying in unison above the firmament.

"Someone is about to have a Breakthrough to the God Realm!"

"What a strong aura! The thickness of this person's Foundation is far beyond what an ordinary Prodigy can compare to!"

Within the Sacred Capital, countless Cultivators looked up and discussed fervently.

Inside the Secret Realm, Wang Yun sat cross-legged.

That wisp of Hongmeng Origin Qi had been completely refined by him.

A massive change had occurred within his body.

The heart of flora, the first generation supreme bone, and the grandmist supreme bone—the three forces reflected each other within his Dantian Qi Sea, growing endlessly.

His cultivation base stepped into the God Realm as naturally as water flowing into a channel.

He slowly opened his eyes, feeling the powerful force within his body, and a sense of heroic pride rose in his heart.

"The God Realm is achieved; the Five Domains are vast, yet I can go anywhere."

He knew it was time to go and take back what belonged to him.

Upon leaving seclusion, Wang Yun immediately went to bid farewell to You Xuanji.

"Senior, this Junior wishes to head to the other three domains to seek Opportunity; I shall take my leave now."

Luo Xi had long been waiting outside the hall; she looked at Wang Yun, her eyes full of reluctance.

"Young Master, let Luo Xi go with you."

Wang Yun shook his head.

"The journey ahead is long and fraught with danger; staying here is the best choice for you."

"The Great You Sacred Dynasty is a safe place. Cultivate here in peace; if we are fated, we will meet again."

Luo Xi bit her lip and finally nodded.

She knew that with her current strength, staying by his side would only become a burden to him.

After bidding everyone farewell, Wang Yun left without the slightest hesitation.

A journey spanning the Five Domains began.

In the first year, Wang Yun arrived in the Central State.

Relying on his God Realm cultivation base and absolute control over Secret Realm Restrictions, he easily took the Origin Qi from the two Grandmist Secret Realms within the Central State.

In the fourth year, he set foot in the Southern Border.

Amidst the myriad beasts and under the watchful eyes of the Yao Race, he forcibly broke through the Restrictions and once again obtained two wisps of Hongmeng Origin.

In the sixth year, the Western Desert.

As Wang Yun walked out of the last Grandmist Secret Realm, contentedly tucking that final wisp of Hongmeng Origin Qi into his pocket,

He did not know that a great net laid out for him was quietly tightening.

"He's out!"

"Lockdown this area! Form the array!"

An angry shout rang out from all directions.

Boom!

Several powerful God King, and even God Emperor auras, descended from the sky.

A massive net condensed from golden flames, centered on him, instantly took shape, turning the surrounding hundred miles into a desolate land of fire.

"Great Sun Heaven-Burning Formation!"

Looking at those familiar golden flames, Wang Yun's eyes turned cold.

The Golden Crow Ancient Clan.

They had, after all, come knocking.

This time, the opponent was well-prepared, deploying several genuine God King powerhouses, and even a God Emperor had acted.

"Remnant Jade! Give up your life!"

Several God Kings attacked simultaneously, and the power of the Great Sun Heaven-Burning Formation was pushed to its limit.

Wang Yun's figure was instantly and completely swallowed by that golden sea of fire capable of incinerating all things.

Under the crisis, Wang Yun did not hesitate for a moment.

The Supreme Body manifested, and a terrifying aura subsequently swept through heaven and earth.

His combat power surged instantly, with purple, green, and gold divine light flowing; his Minds Eye forcibly saw through all the Formation cores and weak points of the great array.

He swung a supreme sword strike, the Sword Light like a rainbow, forcibly tearing open a corner of the 'Great Sun Heaven-Burning Formation'.

Under the horrified gazes of those Golden Crow God Kings, Wang Yun's figure turned into a streak of light, charging into that gap without looking back, stepping into a space crack, and disappearing.

However, the news of the Golden Crow Ancient Clan's failed ambush and the manifestation of the 'Supreme Body' quickly spread throughout the Five Domains.

The world was shaken.
