110: The supreme power can annihilate in a single move!

"Boom~~~"

A deafening explosion that shook heaven and earth rang out.

A massive fireball accurately engulfed the entire Butterfly Valley, and the terrifying explosion created a swirling vortex of white flames that soared into the sky, instantly evaporating even the clouds above.

On the battlefield below,

Tens of thousands of refined souls melted away like ice and snow.

The Disciples of the Hehuan Sect, whether Qi Refinement Stage Disciples or Golden Core Stage Disciples, had no power to resist in the face of these towering flames.

Screams and wails lasted only for a breath.

The next breath, the scorching flames, along with the Spiritual Qi that served as fuel, rushed into their lungs, incinerating everything from within their bodies.

These Disciples of the Hehuan Sect didn't even have a chance to fall to the ground; they were incinerated where they stood by the fierce flames.

"Such a Revered Master has actually arrived..."

Amidst the flames, Lin Huanhuan, who hadn't yet had a chance to attack Su Yang, had black mist steaming from her body. The refined souls integrated into her body were also unable to resist the terrifying flames.

She herself was equally powerless to resist.

Her body burned away like paper.

However,

Her gaze remained fixed on Su Yang, and the fear in her eyes was quickly replaced by excitement.

"It's not over yet!"

"I will definitely get my hands on you and present you to the Sect Master!!!"

A tiny murmur twisted in the flames.

Lin Huanhuan's body finally turned into ashes in the flames, like paper.

Without a host to parasitize, the refined souls within her body were instantly exposed to the flames, and black mist steamed amid their sharp wails.

Amidst this steaming black mist, no one noticed a tiny red light, the size of a bean, slip into the ground and vanish without a trace.

The firelight dissipated.

The entire Butterfly Valley looked as if it had been struck by a meteor, with only a valley remaining. Everything else had turned to ash and disappeared, leaving no trace that a grand branch of a Sect had once stood there.

Everywhere the flames had passed, the earth was softened.

As the flames disappeared, the temperature rapidly dropped, and the entire surface of the valley quickly vitrified, emitting aColored Glaze-like luster under the sunlight.

On the battlefield, all enemy forces had been cleared.

The remaining Eight Sects Disciples, apart from being greatly startled, suffered no casualties in the flames; not even their clothes showed any signs of scorching.

Su Yang looked at the vanished enemies, then turned to look at Grand Elder Xuan Yan in the sky, his mouth twitching.

I just started charging up, and you directly wiped them all out with one move!?

This is like me taking off my pants and raising the cannon, only for him to blow up the woman!

Grand Elder Xuan Yan took a step, appearing before Su Yang, and pulled him aside, explaining earnestly, "Revered Master's last duel with Xiang Tianwen in the Sect was already a very risky decision. The evil creature just now used an evil art to forcibly boost her cultivation, making her strength far superior to Xiang Tianwen's. This Disciple was simply concerned for Revered Master's safety."

What was his duty?

To protect Su Yang's safety!

Su Yang's narrow victory in the Sect last time didn't mean he would have absolute certainty of defeating that evil creature this time.

The risk was too great, so he had no choice but to act.

Su Yang rubbed his temples, looking at the completely vitrified valley, and helplessly put away his divine sword.

At this moment,

The other three Sect Masters, besides Wen Yuheng, had recovered from the shocking grand spell earlier.

Among the Eight Sects, there was only one person with such terrifying strength and exhibiting extremely strong fire Spiritual Root attributes.

Although they all found it hard to believe why he would appear, this esteemed figure had indeed arrived.

The three Sect Masters flew down together and bowed before him.

"Sect Master Wei Jihun of the Tiangong Pavilion, greets Grand Elder Xuan Yan of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect."

"Sect Master Su Yulan of the Immortal Shadow Sect, greets Grand Elder Xuan Yan of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect."

"Sect Master Tie Wuqing of the Sacred Sword Sect, greets Grand Elder Xuan Yan of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect."

Seeing their respective Sect Masters bow, the surviving Sect Disciples on the battlefield also bowed in unison.

"Greetings, Grand Elder Xuan Yan."

Since his identity had been exposed, Grand Elder Xuan Yan no longer pretended. He removed his disguise and revealed his true form.

Facing a group of respectful Juniors, Grand Elder Xuan Yan also cleared his throat in a feigned manner, "You may rise. I originally intended for you Disciples to get more training, but the Demonic Path evil creatures are more formidable than imagined. This Venerable One feared great losses for the various Sects, so I intervened to help."

"Thank you, Grand Elder Xuan Yan, for your assistance."

The three Sect Masters bowed respectfully again and again.

Although there was open and covert rivalry between the various Sects, when it came to the Grand Elders of each Sect, these Sect Masters were truly convinced and showed great respect.

Not to mention that the Grand Elders themselves had very close personal relationships.

Even the strength of the Grand Elder level was enough for these Sect Masters to set aside Sect prejudices and treat them with courtesy.

"Since the battle here is over, tally the casualties and return."

Grand Elder Xuan Yan said.

"Yes!"

The various Sects tallied their battle losses.

In the brief engagement earlier, out of 2,000 Disciples from the four great Sects, casualties reached a quarter, with nearly 500 Disciples perishing at the hands of the Demonic Path, and over 500 injured.

This battle resulted in heavy losses.

If Grand Elder Xuan Yan hadn't decisively intervened to end the battle, the casualties would likely have further increased.

The casualties of each Sect were tallied.

After confirming that there were no remaining Demonic Path remnants in the entire Lutou Mountain, the large quantity of Magic Treasures and wealth hidden by the Hehuan Sect beneath the ruins were dug out and taken away.

The four great Sects returned home.

Compared to their high spirits upon arrival, the expressions of the various Sect Masters were very solemn on their way back.

The unexpected turn of this battle was more alarming than they had anticipated.

In the past, the Eight Demonic Path Cults fought independently and were not to be feared, but this battle was clearly the result of collusion and cooperation between the Hehuan Sect and the Ten Thousand Souls Hall.

If the Demonic Path were to cooperate on a large scale, the situation would become quite tricky.

The Sect Masters of the four great Sects exchanged glances, their solemn expressions deepening.

The Sect Disciples who directly participated in the battle did not think as much as they did; they were merely dazed by the brutal battle, the terrifying scenes vivid in their minds, and difficult to forget for a long time.

How could they have imagined that this seemingly certain encirclement would turn into such a terrifying and difficult death match?

Is this the true Demonic Path?

If the Demonic Path they were to face in the future was so formidable, the Eight Righteous Path Sects would be unable to form an overwhelming advantage over the Eight Demonic Path Cults, and might even face large-scale counter-attacks, as seen on today's battlefield.

"Junior Sister, how are you?"

"I'm fine, I just feel a bit dizzy. Perhaps I consumed too much True Essence on the battlefield just now. I'll be fine after some rest."

"I didn't expect the Demonic Path to be so powerful."

"Indeed... Fortunately, Lingxiao Sword Ancestor spearheaded the charge today, leaving those corpse puppets with no power to resist. Otherwise, our casualties would probably be even heavier."

"Who's to say... Junior Sister, how are you... You don't look so good..."

"I'm really fine..."

The female cultivator in the Profound Heaven Dao Sect's camp shook her head vigorously, trying her best to shake off the waves of dizziness.

She looked at Lingxiao Sword Ancestor, who was flying at the very front. She herself didn't even notice a trace of undetectable red light flickering in her admiring eyes...
