“Kill!”
He rushed forward, his entire body turning golden yellow. Gusts of wind and thunder surrounded him, with runes and laws interwoven in a cave-like formation. They transformed into a beam of golden light, attempting to forcibly break through the sealed heaven and earth before him.
Thump, thump!
In an instant, powerful fluctuations emerged in the deep sky, and an overwhelming force pressed down. It shook the mountains, making rivers weep.
Ultimately, ripples appeared in the void, revealing a golden light. Like a golden meteor, it fell to the ground at an extreme speed.
“Puff!” Jiang Ku coughed up blood. His robust body was pierced, golden blood streaming out, and his incomplete wings were shrouded in winding golden runes.
Gradually, they became faint and unstable. The robust body finally fell helplessly, as there was no longer any life within it. The terrifying Geng Metal Qi in his body erupted, and his body exploded into pieces.
Jiang Ku was indeed powerful, but having just survived the Thunder Tribulation, his physical body was greatly damaged. His strength was only about 40-50% of his peak. Compared to Wei Zongcheng, an Earth-rank Demon Extermination General of the Demon Suppression Army, his strength was too lacking.
As they stared at the gradually calming deep sky and the shattered body of Jiang Ku, Shang Cang, Lei Canghe, and Tan Chen all heaved a sigh of relief.
If Jiang Ku had really managed to break through Wei Zongcheng’s attack, the three of them would have had no chance of stopping a Rune Seed Realm powerhouse’s ambush.
At this moment, Wei Zongcheng gracefully descended from the sky, with runes flowing beneath his feet. With a detached expression, he looked down at the world below him.
“God of War, the General is a God of War!”
Many in the Demon Suppression Army cheered with joy and looked up at Wei Zongcheng with admiration.
He forcefully killed the Sect Master of the Black Mountain Sect, seized their precious treasure, the Black Mountain Seal, and killed the Supreme Elder Jiang Ku. With such astonishing strength, the Demon Suppression Guards regarded him as a divine figure, and their admiration was genuine.
“Supreme Elder!”
Those who remained from the Black Mountain Sect cried out in grief. The Supreme Elder that had protected their sect for centuries had fallen in battle, a great tragedy.
“Go! Hurry up!”
A low voice from the Black Mountain Sect’s Second Elder called out. He actively attacked the pursuing Demon Suppression Army and various martial artists to buy time for his fellow sect members.
Unfortunately, he was already severely injured, and alone, he couldn’t make any impact. His life soon came to an end.
“I’ve delayed you long enough. i’ll send you on your way for the last time.” Wei Zongcheng waved his hand, and runes filled the sky, killing off the remaining dozens of people from the Black Mountain Sect. The ground beneath them was soaked in blood.
From that moment on, there were no survivors from the Black Mountain Sect.
“Transmit my command! The war is over. The Demon Suppression Army will begin the battlefield cleanup, and all Martial Academy personnel and other martial artists shall withdraw from the Black Mountain Sect!”
His voice thundered out, covering ten thousand miles around. The numerous martial artists who had been scouring resources from the three halls and nine peaks immediately stopped, leaving the Black Mountain Sect to return to their battleships.
Even on the road, no one dared to pick up any treasures or spirit herbs left behind.
Once the war was over, all resources belonged to the Demon Suppression Army and the Great Morigin. This was taboo, and no martial artist dared to defy it.
“Is it over already?” Lu Yun looked up at Wei Zongcheng, who was floating in mid-air like a burning sun.
Wei Zongcheng’s strength far exceeded Lu Yun’s expectations.
It was almost impossible for a powerhouse of the same realm to stop someone of the Rune Seed Realm who was determined to flee.
However, Jiang Ku—an early-stage Rune Seed Realm powerhouse, and the Black Mountain Sect’s Supreme Elder—failed to escape. Wei Zongcheng’s attack killed him like a bolt from the blue.
Jiang Ku had just gone through a Thunder Tribulation and was not at his peak state, which likely contributed to his capture or killing. But even so, another early-stage Rune Seed Realm powerhouse would struggle to achieve that.
Wei Zongcheng not only killed Jiang Ku but did so effortlessly. This demonstrated his terrifying power, worthy of being called an Earth-rank Demon Extermination General of the Great Morigin’s Demon Suppression Army.
Withdrawing his gaze, Lu Yun appeared on a mountain peak thousands of miles away.
Lu Yun sat cross-legged on a green stone.
Though he had killed fewer enemies in this battle, his harvest was rich.
Both Golden Body Realm elders he had killed had plenty of spirit crystals and pills on them.
There were even tens of thousands of spirit crystals and numerous fifth and sixth-grade pills.
Taking a look at the empty bookshelves in the Black Mountain Sect’s Book Collection Pavilion, Lu Yun felt a bit disappointed. Even the Sumi Ring he’d searched had no cultivation techniques to offer.
However, Lu Yun had been prepared for this and wasn’t too disappointed.
Even before arriving at the coastal area, Lu Yun knew that the Hundred Sects took their inheritance of cultivation techniques very seriously. They would not easily allow their disciples to take them out of their sect’s Book Collection Pavilion or Cultivation Hall—that would be too risky.
Not obtaining cultivation techniques from the Black Mountain Sect disciples and elders was normal.
“It will take some time for the Demon Suppression Army to clean up the battlefield. I can take this opportunity to enhance my strength.”
Opening the panel.
[Name]: Lu Yun

[Cultivation Technique]: Pure Yang Martial Canon (Original Liquid Chapter, 1% accomplished), Astonishing Wind Saber Manual (Fifth layer: Annihilation 100%), Life Destruction Saber Techniques (Second layer: Unparalleled Blood Blade 100%), Wind Thunder Manual (Third Layer: Instant Horizon 100%), Fist Scripture (First Layer: Red Sun Breaks the Sky 100%), Finger Scripture (First Layer: Formless Tribulation Finger 100%)

[Luck Value]: 61 (Flying Spirit Martial Academy’s Saint Child, representing Flying Spirit Martial Academy and walking the world. Note 1: Luck Value can enhance weapon or treasure grade, and merge similar weapons; Note 2: Automatically increases by 1 daily.)
The huge energy value on the panel was accumulated by Lu Yun before he left the Pill Medicine Building, and because of the expedition, he hadn’t had time to convert all of this into strength.
Now, taking advantage of the army’s rest and cleanup of the battlefield, Lu Yun decided to push the Original Liquid Chapter to a higher level.
[Consume 3,000 energy points, raise the Pure Yang Martial Canon Original Liquid Chapter accomplishment to 11% ]
[Consume… Pure Yang Martial Canon Original Liquid Chapter…]
In the end, after consuming 30,000 energy points, the accomplishment of the Pure Yang Martial Canon Original Liquid Chapter reached 100%, achieving perfection.
At the same time, endless Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi surged and poured into Lu Yun’s body, turning into a golden True Origin River under the circulation of cultivation technique and injecting into the Yuan Hai.
The originally 70-zhang-high golden Pure Yang Yuan Hai was now rapidly climbing.
This climbing Origin Fluid continuously washed and subtly improved the strength of Lu Yun’s body.
High above the Black Mountain Sect, Wei Zongcheng, who had been as calm as an ancient well, seemed to sense something. His gaze shifted and looked in Lu Yun’s direction.
The golden pupils glowed with runes as his sight penetrated numerous obstacles, as if he could see the scene thousands of miles away.
“Huh? That little guy seems to be from the Flying Spirit Martial Academy… Such a powerful momentum from his breakthrough.”
After discovering the reason for the disturbance of Heavenly and Earthly spiritual energy, Wei Zongcheng was quite shocked, and a strange expression appeared in his eyes.
Before this, He Lu from Origin Martial Academy had asked him to help keep an eye on a disciple of the Flying Spirit Martial Academy, that is, Lu Yun.
At first, he had been puzzled as to why an ordinary Origin Fluid Realm disciple could be personally entrusted by He Lu, a Rune Seed Realm powerhouse.
Now, he had finally understood some reasons.
“From the momentum of the breakthrough, this Flying Spirit Martial Academy’s little guy has a deep foundation. If he can have such accumulations during the Golden Body Realm, a top-grade Rune Seed is hopeful!”
A top-grade Rune Seed, without accidents, would definitely become a True Master of the Golden Core realm.
Such talent was deserving of the attention of He Lu, a Rune Seed Realm powerhouse from Origin Martial Academy.
He cultivated a mid-level Rune Seed, but it was a top-notch mid-level Rune Seed with a high chance of achieving Golden Core.
Therefore, he merely appreciated Lu Yun’s demonstrated talent, without envy.
He nodded slightly, the flashing rune in his eyes disappeared, and he withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes to rest again.
It seemed that only Wei Zongcheng, a Rune Seed Realm powerhouse, knew about the commotion caused by Lu Yun’s breakthrough.
The three Golden Body Realm peak powerhouses, Shang Cang, Lei Canghe, and Tan Chen, didn’t notice it.
As for the other martial artists, they were even less capable.
Only Zuo Qiuye’s gaze moved imperceptibly..
