Having just attained the Human Exalt stage, Yan Di had defeated the Exalt Wang Zhengcheng and the Upper Exalt Chen Qianhua in succession.
When the news came, everyone was horrified.
But when he thought about it carefully, although it was unexpected, it seemed reasonable.
After all, that was someone who had slain the previous Southern Exalt Zhuang Shen at the eighth level of the Martial Saint realm …
"I heard that when Sect Leader Yan was in the Lower Worlds, others didn't dare to call him by his name directly. Instead, they used a homonym and added an extra 'wu' in between his name. They called him 'Invincible Yan', meaning that he was invincible among Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters."
The Manor Lord of Wind Thunder Manor, Heng Xianda, sighed emotionally, "In the World beyond Worlds, this title was even a joke at first. It was only after Chief Yan slayed the previous Southern Exalt that no one mentioned it anymore."
"But today, I'm afraid I'll have to bring up the same topic again …"
Moreover, it would no longer be a joke.
Everyone in the World beyond Worlds would have to seriously evaluate this figure who had suddenly risen up like a comet. He had once been the son of the Exalted Gold Luminary and was likely invincible amongst Martial Saints now.
At the very least, he was one of the people closest to this honor.
The news that followed was more shocking than the last.
The Eastern Exalt Daoist Oneheaven had been slain by Yan Di in the eastern Vast Heaven Territory!
Following the death of the previous Southern Exalt Zhuang Shen, another Human Exalt had been slain by Yan Di.
Afterwards, the Origin Opening Sword of Jade Capital Crag had emerged, landing in the hands of the Fallen Deity Yan Zhaoge as the black-clothed Brocade Emperor had been utterly defeated.
What shocked everyone the most was that the Earth Exalt Wang Zhengcheng had been domineeringly slain by Yan Zhaoge!
As this news spread, the entire World beyond Worlds fell silent for a time.
Everyone's first reaction was not shock, but confusion.
Even the death of the Upper Exalt Chen Qianhua would not affect the World beyond Worlds as greatly as it did now.
On one hand, it was because Chen Qianhua was a loner and rarely interacted with others.
On the other hand, it was because he had only been famous for a little over a hundred years.
As for the Earth Exalt Wang Zhengcheng, he was virtually the founding figure of the World beyond Worlds, having weathered so many storms alongside the World beyond Worlds for so many years.
When the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors had reigned supreme, it had been the Earth Exalt Wang Zhengcheng who had interacted with the various powers of the World beyond Worlds most of the time.
His prestige came not only from the Earthly Sovereign, but also from himself.
Wang Zhengcheng had left behind a deep imprint in the entire history of the World beyond Worlds. He was someone who was destined to be unable to avoid discussing the World beyond Worlds.
Although he was a Martial Saint, if he died, his influence would be comparable to a Martial Emperor.
How could such an existence be suddenly killed today?
Innumerable people of the World beyond Worlds were all at a loss at this moment as they were somewhat unable to come to their senses.
In the southwestern Vermillion Heaven Territory, close to the border between the central Jun Heaven Territory and the western Turtle Heaven Territory, a white-robed man stood in the void, silent for a long time.
The few disciples beside him were all dumbfounded at this moment.
Only after a long while did the disciples regain their wits, turning to look at that white-clothed man, "Master, senior … senior apprentice-uncle Yan killed an Earth Exalt. This … this is a little too …"
The white-clothed man was the Southwestern Exalt Bai Tao.
He had left the mountain upon receiving Wang Pu's message. On one hand, he had rushed to reinforce the central Jun Heaven Territory while also keeping an eye on the Western Exalt Lang Qing of the western Turtle Heaven Territory's Nongli Mountain.
However, the sudden news caught him off guard.
"The Earth Exalt is a descendant of the Earthly Sovereign at the end of the day." After a long time, Bai Tao moved once more, heading towards the central Jun Heaven Territory, "Things are not going to end well now …"
The martial practitioners who had gathered in the vicinity of Yuanzhou City for the auction of the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion instantly fell silent when they heard the news.
When everyone finally gradually digested this news, they were all indescribably shocked.
Those who were qualified to participate in the auction were all extraordinary figures as they were all mighty figures of their own territories.
They all acutely sensed that today's matter was probably just the beginning!
The influence of this battle was likely to be extremely profound, even completely shaking the situation of the World beyond Worlds which had been stable for many years.
As everyone looked at those of the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion now, their gazes turned complex.
The Earthly Sovereign had accumulated his authority for many years, possibly even having the support of the Concealed Sovereign.
Broad Creed Mountain and the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion had the Sword Sovereign behind them.
As the two sides faced off, with the north and south peaks of Kunlun Mountain as their respective centres, the martial practitioners of the World beyond Worlds vaguely seemed to be divided.
The Northern High Peak's Jade Capital Crag had risen to prominence rather late as its foundation and prestige were inferior to that of the Southern High Peak's Qilin Cliff.
Still, aside from the elusive Chen Qianhua, the most outstanding young geniuses of the World beyond Worlds were virtually all closely related to Jade Capital Crag.
On the contrary, while Qilin Cliff's lineage was not lacking in numbers, they did not have a single young standard bearer who could be mentioned in the same breath as Yan Zhaoge and the others.
At the same time, many major powers of the World beyond Worlds were currently deeply entangled with the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion. This was not something that could be done just by drawing a clear line between them.
Even if they were determined to win the trust of Qilin Cliff, time would still be needed to verify it.
What was most concerning was that with the Earthly Sovereign outside and the Concealed Sovereign in secluded cultivation, Broad Creed Mountain actually vaguely seemed to be in a situation where no one could stop them.
Unless the few Emperors who were still in the World beyond Worlds joined forces to suppress them.
Still, with the current situation, it was already extremely fortunate that the Female Emperor was not helping Broad Creed Mountain. The Brocade Emperor was in trouble himself and the Encompassing Emperor was neutral and impartial, leaving only the Heaven Emperor alone.
How the situation would change after the Earthly Sovereign returned and the Concealed Sovereign emerged from seclusion was a matter for the future.
Before that, Broad Creed Mountain and Jade Capital Crag clearly held the absolute advantage. The current World beyond Worlds was their world.
If they offended Yan Zhaoge and the others because they wanted to side with Qilin Cliff now, they would probably have nowhere to run to as they could only wait for someone to avenge them in the future.
Such a situation left everyone rather conflicted.
As a result, when Yan Zhaoge returned to the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion, no one knew how they should greet him upon seeing him.
Yan Zhaoge seemed completely unconcerned about this as he smiled and nodded to those he was familiar with before walking towards Xiao Ai and the others.
"Xiao Ai, my mother is fine. Do you want to go see her?"
Hearing his words, Xiao Ai's eyes instantly widened as she nodded like a little chick pecking at grains, "Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! "
"Right, you can go to the eastern Vast Heaven Territory's Remote Cloud Mountain on your own. My father and mother have both gone there," Yan Zhaoge smiled.
Hearing his words, everyone's hearts jolted.
While they had vaguely guessed it after hearing that the Eastern Exalt Daoist Oneheaven had been slain by Yan Di, hearing it personally from Yan Zhaoge now still felt rather emotional.
The East Peak of Daoism, Broad Creed Mountain, was truly going to live up to its name this time.
Also, unlike Nongli Mountain which occupied the western Turtle Heaven Territory.
Soon to become the lord of the eastern Vast Heaven Territory, Broad Creed Mountain's influence would definitely not be limited to just the east.
Instead, it would be a massive entity that shook the entire World beyond Worlds.
While they were Martial Saints, Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di who were superior to True Immortals had only just begun to display their limitless potential.
In the future, their accomplishments would be even more terrifying.
Meanwhile, East Peak's Broad Creed Mountain vaguely came to stand against Middle Peak's Kunlun Mountain.
Everyone seemed to be able to see that Kunlun Mountain was no longer the sole centre of the World beyond Worlds.
