Chapter 219: Kill
After understanding the cause and effect, you no longer concealed anything and spoke of your purpose for this trip.
"I wish to deal with the Wilderness Clan cultivators. I need your help." Your eyes gazed deeply at Li Anle, your tone filled with resolve!
Li Anle did not answer. He only raised his head, a pair of phoenix eyes locking tightly with yours.
The atmosphere instantly grew heavy. Neither side spoke first.
In the end, Li Anle let out a long sigh. He took a jade talisman from his storage ring and solemnly placed it in your hand.
"Leave not a single survivor!"
You looked into Li Anle's eyes, then suddenly smiled. Your figure gradually vanished within the heavily guarded Imperial Palace.
Seven days later, a hidden stronghold of the Wilderness Clan in Central State was annihilated by you. Three early-stage Tribulation Transcendence cultivators, ten Fusion realm cultivators, and over a thousand low-tier cultivators were all collected into your Human Sovereign Banner.
Your Human Sovereign Banner grew stronger once again and began its next evolution.
This action of yours instantly shook the entire Cultivation World. For a time, the hope of the human race was ignited by you, and voices of resistance against the Wilderness Clan grew ever more intense.
And you, because of this, were placed on a wanted list across the entire continent by the Wilderness Clan!
The ten great Tribulation Transcendence powerhouses of the Wilderness Clan, carrying a Half-Immortal Artifact, searched for your traces.
However, what surprised you was that no Great Vehicle stage powerhouse acted personally. This left you no choice but to ponder deeply.
Is it disdain, or is there some reason they cannot act? You thought silently in your heart.
A month passed. You, who had been silent for so long, acted once more!
You arrived at a Wilderness Clan stronghold. First, you set up an isolation formation to prevent the Wilderness Clan cultivators inside from calling for aid.
Then, with the Human Sovereign Banner in your left hand and the broken Immortal Sword in your right, you released the full aura of an early-stage Tribulation Transcendence cultivator and stepped into the Wilderness Clan stronghold, one step at a time.
"Who are you?!!"
"Audacity! To dare trespass into our clan's Forbidden Grounds is courting death!"
Looking at the Wilderness Clan cultivators raging impotently before you, you sneered disdainfully. Without wasting words, you struck with a single sword!
In that instant, the entire world fell silent. The movements of all the Wilderness Clan cultivators froze, as if time itself had been pressed pause.
As your understanding of the Law of Time deepened, you could now affect the time of an entire region.
Although the duration of this effect was extremely brief, for you, it was already enough.
The sword qi flashed past. The late-stage Tribulation Transcendence Wilderness Clan cultivator with the highest cultivation present was split in two on the spot. Even his soul suffered severe damage, and was ultimately collected into your Human Sovereign Banner, refined on the spot!
Time resumed its flow. The death of the late-stage Tribulation Transcendence cultivator threw the Wilderness Clan cultivators into chaos.
The remaining three Tribulation Transcendence cultivators were also panic-stricken, their eyes darting in all directions, wanting to flee. Their will to fight had completely collapsed.
Of course, there were also Wilderness Clan cultivators who wanted to struggle. A peak Fusion realm cultivator was currently casting a secret technique, attempting to control you.
But unfortunately, having not consumed the Nascent Soul Breaking Pill, you were in no way controllable by the Wilderness Clan cultivators.
"Slay!" You gently spat out a single word, then raised the Immortal Sword in your hand and charged forward.
The three Tribulation Transcendence cultivators had been scared out of their wits. They did not dare fight you, and made mistake after mistake.
Without any effort at all, you beheaded the three Tribulation Transcendence cultivators. Their souls were refined by the Human Sovereign Banner in your hand, becoming banner spirits.
Seeing this scene, the remaining Wilderness Clan cultivators either begged for mercy, made threats, or some even began to tempt you.
A Fusion realm Wilderness Clan female cultivator stepped forward slowly, using every trick at her disposal to cast Charm Art, wanting to seduce you.
You did not even glance at her. A single palm strike killed her on the spot!
Afterward, all the banner spirits within the Human Sovereign Banner emerged, unleashing a massacre of incomparable brutality upon all the Wilderness Clan cultivators present!
And the souls of these dead Wilderness Clan cultivators were collected into your Human Sovereign Banner for refinement, once again strengthening your power.
Even the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stage Wilderness Clan cultivators, even the Wilderness Clansmen who could not cultivate at all, you did not spare!
This was a war between races. No Wilderness Clansman was innocent!
You had to eliminate all future troubles!
This time, you killed for three days and three nights. You did not even spare a single ant.
You left. This battle had yielded you abundant gains.
The Human Sovereign Banner was strengthened, rising to mid-grade Heaven-rank, its power increased.
All kinds of precious cultivation resources were also plundered by you.
Among them, the supreme-grade spirit stones that could be used for your cultivation numbered a full twenty thousand!
This was even more than the supreme-grade spirit stones you had obtained from plundering the Profound Heaven Holy Land back then!
Seven days later, the incident fermented once again. For a time, every Wilderness Clan cultivator was gripped by fear, no longer possessing their previous arrogance.
The ten great Tribulation Transcendence cultivators of the Wilderness Clan, even carrying a Half-Immortal Artifact, still could not find your traces.
Three days later, a secret method named the Spirit-Cleaving Art began to circulate throughout the Cultivation World.
After a Fusion realm great cultivator cultivated it, it actually dissolved the curse the Wilderness Clan had added within the Nascent Soul Breaking Pill!
Of course, this Fusion realm great cultivator also had his cultivation fall to the Return-to-Void realm as a result!
Once the news was confirmed, it instantly caused a huge uproar throughout the entire Cultivation World!
More and more cultivators began to cultivate it, to free themselves from the Wilderness Clan's control.
Without the suppression of this curse, the voices of cultivators from every major faction resisting the Wilderness Clan grew louder and louder.
Finally, under the influence of your annihilation of yet another Wilderness Clan Secret Realm, it erupted!
The great war began in Central State and broke out in full force!
As the instigator, you hid yourself in the shadows, beginning to hunt down lone Wilderness Clan Tribulation Transcendence cultivators to temper your own cultivation.
With the Great Vehicle stage powerhouses not acting, the Wilderness Clan cultivators were gradually suppressed, their sphere of influence slowly compressed.
On this day, as you were preparing to hunt a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator, you suddenly felt uneasy, as if a great calamity was about to befall you.
You quickly examined your Karma, only then discovering that a thread of Karma was rapidly growing at a rate visible to the naked eye. In the next instant, a voice devoid of emotion sounded by your ear.
"Fellow Daoist, what are you looking at?"
You woke with a start, only then discovering that at some point, an old man had appeared before you, scaring a cold sweat out of you on the spot.
