"Ding! Successfully killed Nan Fengyun. Obtained 2,500,000 Experience, 22,000 Madness Value, 200 Sin Value, and 5,000 Divine Rune Mastery Proficiency points! Obtained Martial Arts: Residual Shadow Step and Spirit-Breaking Finger! Obtained Items: Spirit-controlling Pen (High-Grade Soul Artifact), Tyrant Pattern Paper (Rare), and a Damage Boost Divine Rune (Fifth-Grade)!"

He got a ton of good loot all at once. The Experience Value alone was a whopping 2,500,000, with over 20,000 Madness Value, and even 5,000 points toward his Divine Rune Mastery Proficiency!

This wasn’t a numerical error. Yi Tianyun had activated both a thirty-fold experience effect and a Twentyfold Experience Card, stacking them for a grand total of fifty-eight times the normal experience! He used every Experience Card he had, including those from previous gift packs. To his surprise, the Fivefold Skill Card also multiplied the proficiency gained from killing experts who could use Divine Runes. As for the other rewards, like Sin Value, they were all doubled!

The numbers immediately began to skyrocket. With so many experts gathered here, how could he pass up such a feast? To him, this was a massive wave of Experience and Madness Value—an opportunity he couldn’t possibly miss.

With Mad Damage Mode active, he had obliterated Nan Fengyun with a single kick—a complete one-shot! So what if he was a Sect Master? He was still fodder for an instant kill. Especially now that Yi Tianyun was at the Core Formation Stage, unleashing eight times his normal power, a measly third-level Core Formation cultivator like Nan Fengyun was nothing but trash before him!

’If I couldn’t even one-shot him with a single move, then this power boost would have been a complete waste.’

This scene left the surrounding Mansion Masters utterly dumbfounded. The speed at which Yi Tianyun had just erupted was so fast they couldn’t even see him clearly! This could only mean one thing: his cultivation was far higher and stronger than all of theirs. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for them not to follow his movements.

"Th-this... what kind of power is this!?"

’Their minds reeled with shock, horrified beyond belief. They had assumed he was at the peak of the Spirit Pill Stage, but it was now clear he was a Core Formation Stage expert. A teenager, only seventeen or eighteen years old, actually possessed the power of the Core Formation Stage? What kind of unnatural prodigy was this? Even if he started cultivating in his mother’s womb, reaching such a high level of cultivation should be impossible, right?’

The Great Elder and his companions were shaken as well. Although they had been mentally prepared—reasoning that if Yi Tianyun could kill Cheng Fen, then Nan Fengyun shouldn’t be much of a problem—seeing it happen with their own eyes still sent a profound shock through them.

"So what if I’m arrogant...? Now, it’s your turn!"

Yi Tianyun shot forward. He used no weapon, no Absolute Skill—just a simple kick. With a Combat Power of six to seven million, the force he unleashed was utterly terrifying.

The power they could muster was only one or two million at most. He completely outclassed them!

"BAM!"

"THUD!"

Yi Tianyun launched himself forward and delivered two kicks with unbelievable speed. Two Mansion Master-level figures were sent flying, just like Nan Fengyun. They were kicked straight through the wall, and in the next moment, all signs of life were gone.

"Ding! Successfully killed the Flowing Wind Mansion Lord. Obtained 2,300,000 Experience, 21,000 Madness Value, and 200 Sin Value. Obtained Martial Arts Tyrant Heaven Palm and Shadow Remnant Sword..."

"Ding! Successfully killed the Wind-controlling Master. Obtained 2,400,000 Experience, 22,000 Madness Value, and 200 Sin Value..."

...

One after another, he easily dispatched the Mansion Masters. These were the heads of Third-Grade Factions, figures that ordinary Cultivators could only look up to in awe. Yet in Yi Tianyun’s hands, they were slaughtered as easily as chickens and dogs. One punch or one kick, and another one fell.

"S-so terrifying... this power... This is the cultivation of someone at the eighth or ninth level of the Core Formation Stage, or even higher..."

Their courage utterly broken, they all scrambled to retreat, no longer daring to get any closer. But just because they wouldn’t approach him didn’t mean Yi Tianyun wouldn’t approach them. He lunged forward, his eyes filled with killing intent.

"Since you’ve all come up here, why bother leaving?"

He sneered, intercepting a Mansion Master who was trying to flee. He threw a punch, which landed with explosive force, and the man was instantly converted into a massive flood of Experience that poured into the system!

"T-take them hostage!"

Getting completely routed, they were so terrified that they immediately switched targets, their gazes landing on the Great Elder and the others. If they took them as hostages, they might just be able to escape this disaster!

As the Mansion Master-level expert charged toward them, the Great Elder’s expression darkened. He roared, "Everyone, get behind me! I’ll give them everything I’ve got! We absolutely cannot be a burden to our Mansion Master!"

Their strength was simply too weak. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to help, but in a battle of this caliber, they were completely useless. To prevent Yi Tianyun from being blackmailed, the Great Elder prepared to burn his own Essence Blood and fight them with everything he had!

"You want to take them hostage? You’ll have to get through me first!"

At that moment, Yi Tianyun consumed a Gale Divine Pill, an item he had acquired from a draw long ago. Seeing the enemies rushing toward the Great Elder, he swallowed it without hesitation. ’The Phoenix Wings can increase my speed, but that’s for flying. If I try to fly that fast indoors, I’ll probably just crash into a wall. It’s too hard to control.’

"Ding! Successfully consumed Gale Divine Pill. Speed doubled!"

"WHOOSH!"

Yi Tianyun’s speed instantly doubled. To the onlookers, he was just a blur. In the blink of an eye, he was right in front of them, using no fancy techniques—just throwing a straightforward punch.

With a loud CRASH, the man was sent flying from the force of the punch, slamming into the palace’s thick wall just like the others. If not for the walls, there was no telling how far they would have flown. But the result was always the same: death!

Whether it was a kick or a punch, the savage power behind each blow was enough to liquefy their internal organs. Even if they weren’t killed instantly, death was never far behind.

"Th-this power... It’s impossible... impossible..." Watching Yi Tianyun’s astonishing speed from a higher vantage point, Lin Hao’s face turned deathly pale. A thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and he blurted out, "Was it you? Did you kill Lord Cheng?!"

’Seeing Yi Tianyun’s terrifying power,’ he thought, ’the identity of Cheng Fen’s killer is painfully obvious. It’s clear that only the man before me could have done it.’

"You figured it out, did you? That’s right, I killed Cheng Fen. You have a problem with that? He didn’t just want to steal the Profound Celestial Divine Technique; he wanted to annihilate my Celestial Extreme Mansion," Yi Tianyun sneered. "But I didn’t just kill Cheng Fen. Today, you’re going to die here too!"

Yi Tianyun beckoned with a wave of his hand. A massive Black Dragon descended from the sky, landing with immense force and blocking the main exit.

"ROAR!" The Black Dragon bellowed at them, then spewed a torrent of black flames that swept in their direction. A few of the sect elders who couldn’t dodge in time were instantly incinerated, turned to nothing but charcoal.

Unbeknownst to them, the Black Dragon’s cultivation had already reached the eighth level of the Spirit Pill Stage. Its tyrannical power was more than enough to block the escape of the remaining Mansion Masters!

"Today is the day you all die!" Yi Tianyun’s gaze turned icy, and his killing intent erupted.
