Immortal-Exterminating Divine Venerable

”How dare you harbor killing intent toward me, you arrogant junior!”

Sensing the intense killing intent emanating from Yang Xiao, Yanm Changqing’s face turned livid with rage.

He was a Martial Saint.

One of the most powerful experts in the Celestial Cloud Region.

He had transcended the Mortal plane, standing high above all others.

And today, a junior—a mere teenager—actually wanted to kill him.

It was an absolute disgrace.

Yanm Changqing’s heart pounded with ever-growing fury.

”Kill!”

He let out a low roar.

His blood surged. It was as if he had returned to his youth—a time when he had been reckless, arrogant, and domineering, yet still possessed the valiant spirit of a young hero.

He raised his hand and threw a punch, unleashing his strongest move.

This punch was derived from the Great Wheel Flame Palm, yet it surpassed it.

It was a fist technique Yanm Changqing had created himself over the past century.

And it was the one most suited for him.

As he threw the punch, all the Fire Elemental Power in the entire Earth Flame Cave was drawn in, surging toward his fist.

To Yang Xiao, it looked as if a small, bright sun was materializing on his opponent’s fist.

It was incredibly blinding.

A jolt went through his heart.

’This old codger actually has some skill. But isn’t this even better? Let me see just how much defensive power the sixth chapter of the Nine Yang Celestial Skill grants me now that I’ve reached Perfection!’

Instead of being worried, Yang Xiao grew excited.

He raised his own hand and threw a punch as well.

His Qilin Body stood erect.

He clenched his claw into a fist.

He was still using a move from the Flame Emperor Divine Fist.

It integrated the power of his Qilin True Body and the True Greater Yang Fire.

But this time, Yang Xiao also employed his Fire Control Skill.

The moment he did, the Fire Elemental Power that Yanm Changqing had been drawing in rushed toward Yang Xiao at an even more terrifying speed.

A terrifying sun also condensed on Yang Xiao’s fist.

This sun was the color of glazed crystal.

It was in no way inferior to Yanm Changqing’s.

In fact, it was purer.

More terrifying.

”Good, kid. You learn fast. But you’ve only copied the form, not grasped the essence. It’s all show and no substance. Now die!”

Yanm Changqing roared and threw his punch.

”You really are Yanm Kuan’s grandfather. You even brag the same way. We’ll see who’s all show and who has real skill once we clash.”

Yang Xiao didn’t back down.

He met the attack head-on.

The two suns, though much smaller than the ones on Celestial Extremity Peak, contained a power that was several times greater.

When they collided, the entire Earth Flame Cave began to shake.

Yang Xiao only felt a massive force blast him backward.

It sent him flying straight toward the restriction.

’Not good! This restriction contains a lethal power. The old bastard must have planned this. But am I, Yang Xiao, so easily manipulated?’

Yang Xiao’s Spiritual Power flared, and he instantly found a flaw in the restriction. Using all his strength, he forcibly twisted his body and shot through the gap.

He landed on the ground with a THUD.

He was in a sorry state, but he hadn’t suffered any serious injuries.

Instead, he had used the opportunity to enter the restricted area.

He saw the Ancient Spirit Medicine.

Yang Xiao’s eyes immediately locked onto it.

He looked utterly entranced.

In his past life, Yang Xiao would never have looked so undignified.

But in this life, this was the first and only Ancient Spirit Medicine he had ever seen. How could he not be excited?

Especially since this thing would be of immense use to him.

Subconsciously, Yang Xiao began to walk toward the green-lotus-like Spirit Medicine.

With every step, the heat washing over him intensified.

The leaves of the green lotus seemed to tremble in response.

Clearly, just as Yang Xiao had expected, this Spirit Medicine had become Spiritual.

”Huh? You weren’t killed by the restriction? What a lucky brat!”

Yanm Changqing suddenly appeared.

He also looked rather disheveled.

At the same time, he circulated his True Gang to protect himself from being harmed by the subterranean Flame Power.

Although he was a Martial Saint, his physical body was not strong.

At best, he possessed only Half-Flood Dragon Power.

His defensive power was also far inferior.

He relied entirely on his True Gang for protection.

He couldn’t compare to Yang Xiao at all.

In an environment like this, it would be impossible to survive without a True Gang barrier.

Hearing his words, Yang Xiao turned around.

With a single glance, he saw through Yanm Changqing’s facade and smiled.

”I didn’t expect you to be able to get in, much less dare to. But since you’re here, don’t even think about leaving.”

In an instant, Yang Xiao gave up on the Ancient Spirit Medicine before him and lunged at Yanm Changqing.

As he lunged, Yanm Changqing discovered that not only had Yang Xiao’s strength not diminished upon entering this place, but he seemed to have become even stronger than he was outside.

This left him deeply confused.

One must understand that this was a secret sanctuary of their Medicine King Valley, and that Medicine King was their greatest secret, passed down for several thousand years.

The reason it hadn’t been picked by their descendants was not because they didn’t want to.

It was because they *couldn’t*.

Putting everything else aside, the heat alone required the True Gang Power of at least a Tier Two Martial Saint to withstand.

As for the area right beside the Medicine King, one needed to be at least Tier Three.

The reason their founding ancestor had died was because he had tried to forcibly pick the Medicine King.

He was invaded by the Flame Power, and in the end, only had enough time to set up this restriction before he perished.

Afterward, generations of geniuses from Medicine King Valley had tried their luck here.

But none had succeeded.

Among them was even a Tier Four Martial Saint.

The reason he had failed was because...

That Medicine King...

was sinister.

It seemed to have a Spirit.

Its power was actually on par with a Tier Four Martial Saint.

Forcing him to return empty-handed.

These matters were Medicine King Valley’s greatest secrets.

Only those who had reached the Martial Saint realm in each generation were privy to them.

They were highly confidential.

Even a Martial Saint like Qin Xuejiao, who had barely managed to break through, was not qualified to know.

Therefore, her understanding of this place was far inferior to Yanm Changqing’s.

And it was precisely because of Yanm Changqing’s understanding—being able to open the restriction at will—that he was so shocked to see Yang Xiao’s combat power remain perfectly intact here.

It was terrifying.

His shock and fear gave Yang Xiao the opening he needed.

A claw shot out, striking Yanm Changqing squarely.

Even more coincidentally, this attack sent him flying backward.

He slammed right into the restriction.

And this was a two-way restriction. When Yanm Changqing was thrown against it, he instantly triggered its lethal mechanism.

Caught completely off guard, the restriction’s killing move activated.

It completely ground away Yanm Changqing’s protective True Gang.

Just as Yanm Changqing struggled to form a hand seal to control the restriction, a purplish-red claw, glinting with a glazed Golden Light, slammed into his body.

It easily tore through the True Gang he had just reformed.

It also interrupted the hand seal he was casting.

His fragile physical body was directly blown apart.

It instantly burst into flames and turned to ash.

Yanm Changqing.

Tier Three Martial Saint of Medicine King Valley.

A peerless prodigy of the Celestial Cloud Region from a century ago.

Had fallen.

The killer:

The Junior Sect Leader of the Purple Sun Sect.

Yang Xiao.

Cultivation: Peak of the Innate Realm.
