251: The Number One Sect Under Heaven

"How could this happen!"

The various powers in the sky were gnashing their teeth in anger. The number of Powerhouses from the Heavenly Profound Sect was too high, and their quality was extremely high as well. Among them, there were not a few Peak Great Emperor Realm Experts; just by making a move, they could kill several Great Emperor Powerhouses.

Originally, they wanted to wipe out the most powerful Sect in one go, but instead, they didn't even set foot inside the Sect's territory in the air before they were slaughtered into this state.

The various Great Emperor Powerhouses attacked frantically, coordinating with the 50 Great Emperors that the Divine Mirror Sect brought. Suddenly, screams and pleas for mercy echoed continuously in the sky, but no one listened to their words.

The others from the Ten Great Powers hiding in the shadows also joined the attack, defeating everyone with an almost overwhelming force.

They would not allow this group of people to beg for mercy. After all, when cutting weeds, one must remove the roots. Since they wanted to destroy the Ten Great Powers, the Ten Great Powers naturally would not let them go.

If they let them go now, wouldn't it prove that anyone could bully the Ten Great Powers? Even if they wanted to destroy them, if they couldn't win, they could just apologize, and the matter would be over.

If such a trend were truly established, where would the dignity of the Ten Great Powers be?

All the forces in the sky, even the weakest Disciple, were slapped to death cleanly.

The entire Divine Mirror Sect fell into silence. Other powers that originally had some intentions lowered their heads, their faces revealing expressions of panic and unease.

"This is a trap! The negative news about the Heavenly Profound Sect before must have been deliberately released by them, just to see which powers had wolfish ambitions!"

"It must be like this; otherwise, they couldn't have reacted like this, directly sending out a large number of Powerhouses to ambush those forces here!"

"Good heavens, not only is the strength of the Ten Great Powers strong, but their schemes are also terrifying. Those powers that had thoughts of taking their place have all been wiped out in one go this time. I'm afraid no one in the world will ever dare to covet their position again!"

The Powerhouses of the various forces were trembling with fear. The impact of the scene before them was too intense; over a hundred Great Emperor Powerhouses attacking together made it feel like the sky was about to be torn open with a huge gash.

The surrounding Peaks collapsed due to the aftershocks, and the entire mountain range around the Divine Mirror Sect was left in chaos.

Although the damage caused looked significant, in reality, as long as there were Cultivators, they could restore the scenery to normal before long; this was not a big problem.

What was important was that the Ten Great Powers, by launching this sudden attack, directly shocked the hearts of everyone.

If anyone else in the world dared to cause trouble, this would be their fate. Those people were beaten so badly that not even their corpses remained, and the remaining orthodoxies were left within their own Sects, with less than twenty percent of their Disciples left.

After the Powerhouses of the major forces deliberated, they let the Great Emperor Powerhouses take action to crush them directly.

Their main forces were not opponents for everyone, let alone those Powerhouses who were cowering in their own Sect Formations, struggling to hold on.

So, before everyone could even exert much power, those people either surrendered or committed suicide directly.

After all, they knew there was no turning back. In the face of absolute power, no matter how clever they were or how many more people they united, it was futile.

Even if they fled to the ends of the earth, they would surely die. No matter who it was, they would not dare to help these people at this critical juncture.

Perhaps they once had some friendly forces, but now those forces had long since kept their distance. If anyone dared to support them, they would immediately be injured, labeled as traitors, and subsequently have their entire Sect wiped out!

This turmoil was completely quelled in just one month. All the forces in the world were terrified of the former Ten Great Powers. In the future, whether it was collecting taxes or doing various other things, everything became convenient, and no one dared to make excuses again.

After all, the warning from the past was right there; the wreckage of those Powerhouses' warships was still lying in the mountain gullies.

It was said that a strange power kept circling in those mountain gullies, and from time to time, miserable wails and roars could be heard, as if it were a hell on earth. Even Cultivators dared not enter easily, fearing they would be implicated.

Soon, that place became a famous tourist attraction. No one dared to go in, only daring to take a look from the outside.

The Divine Mirror Sect even set up a scenic area specifically to collect entrance tickets, earning some extra income in their spare time.

Li Haotian was quietly observing the prosperous scene of the entire Sect from within his own Sect.

Time passed quickly, and it was time to recruit Disciples again. A new batch of Disciples entering the Sect brought quite a bit of vitality to the Heavenly Profound Sect.

Now the Heavenly Profound Sect was the number one power in the world. After seeing the configuration and number of their Great Emperor Powerhouses, the Divine Mirror Sect voluntarily conceded.

After all, for them, the current Divine Mirror Sect could not reach such quantity and quality by a long shot. Since they couldn't do it, they had to give up the position of number one in the world, otherwise, it would likely only bring disaster.

Various powers continuously came to the Heavenly Profound Sect to offer gifts; it seemed to have become the most prosperous place in the entire world.

The scene of all nations coming to pay tribute was probably no more than this.

Li Haotian felt at ease, and a brilliant smile appeared on his face. With this matter settled, he could begin summoning.

This time, he directly obtained over a hundred Summon Cards for Great Emperor Powerhouses. Just one summoning produced over 100 Great Emperors, and subsequently, the number of Heavenly Lord Powerhouses and Quasi-Emperor Experts was countless.

After these Powerhouses were summoned, they basically brought their own Legacies and could open other mountain Peaks at any time to recruit Disciples on a large scale. This was not a difficult task for them; after all, everyone present was a Great Emperor Powerhouse, and their strength was extremely high!

The Heavenly Profound Sect expanded from the initial 108 Peaks to the current 256 Peaks. All Cultivators in the world wanted to send their Disciples to the Heavenly Profound Sect. Even if it was just to be an Errand-Runner, it was still an Errand-Runner of the number one Sect in the world!

Moreover, those Powerhouses who wanted to Cultivate would basically come to the Heavenly Profound Sect to test their talent; this would be their primary consideration.

Time passed quickly, and one year flashed by in an instant. Li Haotian successfully reached the Peak Quasi-Emperor Realm.

During this year, he basically never left the Sect and had been in seclusion Cultivating within the Sect. His Disciples were almost the same; now their Realms had all reached the Early Stage of the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

Li Haotian felt quite uncomfortable. Even with his Disciples sharing his Cultivation speed, his Cultivation speed was seriously slowed down.

The System's explanation was that the spiritual energy within his body was simply too terrifying. To achieve a Breakthrough, he needed to accumulate a hundred times more spiritual energy than others.

Otherwise, there was simply no way to achieve a Breakthrough.

Although this made him feel that Cultivating was a bit strenuous, it was a case of being pained yet happy.
