  At Huang Shatian’s appearance, there were quite a few who glanced at the Supreme Might Rankings of the Sky Connecting Immortal Rock. Right now, a new image had replaced one of the other supreme geniuses.

  The person who’d just appeared on the rankings was actually Jun Mengchen. Jun Mengchen and Qin Wentian were apprentice brothers, and now they were both listed on the same rankings as well. In addition, Huang Youdi had once humiliated Jun Mengchen for having a lower cultivation base. Now, the one mocked had slayed Huang Youdi and used him to ascend to the Supreme Might Rankings. This naturally caused a great uproar

  Sadly, the vast majority of people had focused their attention on Huang Shatian. The moment he arrived, he’d instantly stolen the spotlight.

  "Oh no, damn it! This fellow returned too fast," Bujie mumbled, knowing that the situation was dire. Back then, Huang Shatian alone could stand against five peak-level powerful experts. The threat he represented was simply too great. The Southern Phoenix Alliance may have had the advantage before this, but now Huang Shatian alone could overturn the tides in the blink of an eye.

  Although everyone had improved a lot throughout the years, the same could be said of Huang Shatian. He had entered the second level of the Sky Connecting Realm to cultivate and had only come out now. It was rumored that he’d already come into contact with the gate leading to the immortal king realm and was vastly more terrifying than before. Chances were high that no one else in the immortal-foundation realm would be able to stand against him now.

  "Senior, do you have any opinions?" Bujie asked Buyu.

  Buyu continued to keep his eyes closed, and he pressed his palms together. His defensive abilities were unparalleled, but even if he could really defend against Huang Shatian’s attacks, it was impossible to suppress Huang Shatian all by himself. Given Huang Shatian’s current strength, it was most likely true that no one could obstruct him from the person he wanted to kill.

  "Junior Brother, that friend of yours can only blame his bad luck. If we try to interfere now, it would just be useless. Junior Brother, you’re only at the sixth level now, so you should focus on cultivating well. Then on the day you finally reach the same cultivation level as Senior Brother Buyu, you should have a chance to defeat Huang Shatian." Buchen spoke.

  "I don’t even know when I’ll reach the ninth level," Bujie said, his tone depressed. At this moment, Huang Shatian continued walking towards the battlefield. His countenance was cold, exuding a magnificence throughout the generations as he stood proudly in the air. When he advanced forward, waves of emperor might radiated from his body. He then stood still and frowned, seemingly a little unhappy. "Didn’t I tell you guys to focus on your cultivation? Why are you participating in this? What happened to the rules of the academy?"

  If it was a small-scale battle, one could justify it by saying that the participants were tempering themselves. But for a large-scale war, those participants were merely wasting precious cultivation time.

  "The White Tiger Race and Southern Phoenix Clan broke the rules and invoked the academy’s wrath. As punishment, the academy allowed both factions to kill each other without reservations. For those wishing to participate, the academy will also exempt them from its protection." A voice rang out, summarizing everything. Huang Shatian instantly understood. If this was the case, he really couldn’t blame his subordinates.

  "Since a war has started, we must certainly win. Look at the current situation. You guys would do well to reflect on yourselves," Huang Shatian berated. Although he didn’t mention any names, Huang Wudi and the experts from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire felt their hearts trembling as they bowed their heads low. Huang Shatian was a king in their generation. Let alone the him now, even the him years ago had long been qualified to rebuke them all.

  They started the war, yet they were the ones at a disadvantage. This was simply embarrassing.

  As the sound of Huang Shatian’s voice rang out, he released his immortal foundation and manifested a human emperor. His current self also seemed to transform an emperor. His entire body shimmered with the light from the laws, instantly enveloping this vast space completely. This feeling caused the Southern Phoenix Alliance to turn pale as their expressions turned extremely unsightly to behold.

  Huang Shatian had truly come into contact with that illustrious gate. It might be years before he could truly step through it, but just by forming a connection, his entire self had alrrady undergone a transformation.

  An expert from the Battle Saint Tribe in mid-combat suddenly felt spatial energy enveloping him. After that, boundless emperor light shot towards him, aiming to kill. He tried to struggle, but under that overwhelming power, all his attempts were futile. As the beams of light landed, his body vanished directly—he had been sent out from the Sky Connecting Realm.

  This experience didn’t occur to him alone. In the next instant, Huang Shatian’s emperor light shot out in all directions, enveloping many experts. All experts who came into contact with those beams of light ended up killed. Those with lower cultivation bases were instantly decimated, wiped out in less than a second.

  "Invincible." The spectators all sighed with admiration in their hearts. The current Huang Shatian was most probably invincible in the immortal-foundation realm. There was no one who could fight equally with him. His strength had already exceeded the immortal-foundation level.

  When they saw this, they also understood that there was no point in guessing the outcome of this war.

  Luckily, this place was the Sky Connecting Realm, so they would still have a chance to survive. If this was the external world, those people would have really died.

  A ninth-level genius moved towards Huang Shatian. However, Huang Shatian’s immortal light shot out as a supreme spatial pressure bore down. A human-emperor sword slashed out in mid-air, cleaving apart the heavens and earth. In fact, Huang Shatian didn’t even have to personally attack him. He simply stood there arrogantly, allowing the might from his immortal-foundation to crush that genius.

  Very swiftly, his opponent could no longer endure that pressure and was killed off and removed from the Sky Connecting Realm as per its rules.

  The white tigers let out victorious roars of excitement. They stared at the holy maidens and announced, "Prepare to endure our rage!"

  The entire battle situation had instantly reversed. The holy maidens all had looks of despair on their faces. One of them coldly replied, "Depending on others yet you’re all so excited. You white tigers aren’t fit to be greater demons at all. How lamentable."

  After that, they began a frenzied fight to the death as flames billowed around them. They preferred to fight with their lives on the line rather than being captured alive.

  "Chi, chi, chi." Despite the Phoenix Alliance tacit understanding that the circumstances were against them, they still fought on unceasingly, not fearing to meet their doom. Even Qing`er was killed. And not long after, the vast battlefield returned to a state of silence. With the deaths of the last few from the Phoenix Alliance, all of them were sent out of the Sky Connecting Realm.

  Huang Shatian alone had used his absolute strength to change the tides and determined the final outcome. This was the power wielded by experts at the pinnacle.

  "Although they were sent out from the Sky Connecting Realm, they’ve definitely suffered heavy injuries since they were all killed here. For the next phase of the plan, I’m sure you guys can handle it, right?" Huang Shatian asked calmly. Huang Wudi nodded his head and replied, "We will mobilize our forces to hunt them down in the sacred academy."

  After that, the experts from the White Tiger Alliance split into four groups and sped towards the four academies.

  Huang Shatian glanced at his surroundings. Since the sacred academy had permitted killing, then in order to avoid the people from his Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire from being injured and dying, it was still better to be more cautious. He still needed to personally make a move in order to kill off some people.

  After everyone left, there was one white tiger who still remained. With a flash, he reverted back to his human form and actually rushed towards Mo Qingcheng, evil intent flashing through his eyes.

  "Qin Wentian actually has such a beautiful woman? Seems like I’d be a fool not to take advantage of this." The white tiger’s eyes gleamed with lust. Mo Qingcheng turned pale, and she could only watch helplessly as the white tiger drew closer to her. However, at this moment, a terrifying blood-colored light descended from the sky. That white tiger abruptly felt an intense feeling of crisis and in the next instant, he was trapped in a blood-red prison with beams of light criss-crossing within, lacerating his body bit by bit. With a miserable scream, the white tiger then vanished from sight.

  Several figures descended to the ground, causing the spectators eyes to flash with surprise. These people were all from the Myriad Devil Islands. The figure in the lead was a woman that seemed like a queen of devils, exuding a seemingly noble-like aura. This female most probably had an unique status in the Myriad Devil Islands, yet such a character had actually acted to save Mo Qingcheng?

  However, this female didn’t say anything and merely observed everyone with a cold regard, an imposing might gushing forth from her.

  On the other side, the Southern Phoenix Clan and Battle Saint Tribe already had an agreement that if they lost and were killed in the Sky Connecting Realm, they would instantly flee to the remote locations of the sacred academy and think of some other methods to convene once more. If not, their enemies would surely annihilate them all.

  Hence, after Huang Shatian appeared and killed them all in the Sky Connecting Realm, they didn’t hesitate to flee the moment they were revived in the external world. The sacred academy was extremely vast, so if they headed into the depths of the boundless mountains, it wouldn’t be an easy task for their enemies to find them.

  But within a few moments, the White Tiger Race and the other experts from their alliance had also exited the Sky Connecting Realm and chased after them in hot pursuit. From their actions, they knew that the Southern Phoenix Alliance had prepared to flee.

  Huang Shatian then stepped out of the Sky Connecting Realm by himself. Only he alone would dare to do this since wasn’t concerned about being ambushed by others. In the sacred academy, there might be some others who could contend against him, but he was confident that none of them would be able to kill him, let alone the people whom he’d easily annihilated in the Sky Connecting Realm.

  But at this very moment, four figures appeared before Huang Shatian. These people were all clad in black, and they stared at Huang Shatian with ice in their gazes, blocking him with impunity.

  "Experts from the Myriad Devil Islands?" Huang Shatian frowned as his aura erupted forth.

  "There’s someone who doesn’t wish for you to participate in this war." One of the devil-cultivators in the lead coldly spoke. Huang Shatian laughed icily as he released his immortal might—the power of his attribute law energies covered the skies, forming a domineering beam of emperor light.

  The four devil-experts were all exuding a towering devilish might. Blood-colored devil qi shrouded their bodies, climbing up into the skies, containing an extremely fearsome might. When Huang Shatian shot over the powerful beam of emperor light, it actually failed to penetrate their defenses.

  "Courting death." Huang Shatian stepped out, only to see the four devil-experts splitting up as they too, advanced towards him.

  "DIE!" Huang Shatian stabbed out with his finger, causing the heavens and earth to shudder. A manifestation of a human emperor appeared, wanting to decimate the entire space.

  The auras from the four devil-experts actually began to resonate with each other. Boundless might then congregated above them, transforming into a supreme power of judgment that enveloped the entire space. The human emperor may be unexcelled in this world, but when the Judgment Devil appeared, the light from the human emperor began to dim by contrast. The Judgment Devil then slashed out with a saber of judgement in an attempt to kill the human emperor.

  Huang Shatian’s gaze grew heavy. These four experts from the Myriad Devil Islands were already extremely powerful individually. But when they combined their strengths, their might grew many times stronger.

  "Our intentions have already been communicated to you. If you continue to act, for everyone you kill, we will kill the same amount of people from your Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire," the four devil-experts coldly spoke before they stepped back once again. Huang Shatian laughed menacingly. "The devils from the Myriad Devil Islands are actually keen to help cultivators in the immortal realms? What if I were to kill them all?"

  "Like I said, what does it matter even if you slaughter them all? Just do what you will, you already know our response to that. Be prepared for a mass burial for the people from your Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire then." The devil might in the atmosphere intensified, filled with the power of judgment as the four devil-experts gradually disappeared!
