Among the Ten Immortal Giants, the Wang Clan was the strongest in terms of heritage and influence. As powerful as it was, though, it had only produced nine peak Transcendence experts over countless years.

Many years ago, Wang Zhongyuan had been killed by Lin Xun. Not long ago, Wang Daoxing had died in the Sixth Heaven Domain, also at the same hands. Now, their group of four peak Transcendence experts led by Wang Daofeng had all fallen.

This meant that the Wang Clan, which was known as the number one Immortal Giant, only had three peak Transcendence experts left...

Over half of the top pillars of the Wang Clan had died. It wasn’t just a great diminution of overall power; it had shaken their very foundation!

True, the Wang Clan still had a few Transcendence figures left, but within a short period of time, it was almost impossible to produce another batch of peak Transcendence Immortals. This was partly why Patriarch Wang Zhongtian appeared so out of sorts after hearing the bad news.

If that was already the case with the number one Immortal Giant, one could imagine how serious the situation was for the other nine.

The most miserable was the Fu Clan. They initially had seven peak Transcendence experts, but now, there was only one left. The other Immortal Giants were roughly in the same boat as the Wang Clan, with around only two or three remaining...

Without exaggeration, Lin Xun had, by virtue of his own strength, heavily wounded the Ten Immortal Giants and dealt them a disastrous blow through the two battles in the Sixth Heaven Domain.

That was the key reason why these clan leaders had lost their composure so completely. Without the protection of enough peak Transcendence experts, their status as Immortal Giants in the Eighth Heaven Domain would become precarious!

“Brother Wang, please excuse me.” Fu Chaolan was the first to get up. He took his leave with an ashen face.

After such a tragic occurrence, he had to return to his clan and personally preside over the situation. Otherwise, he feared the members would be on edge and it would lead to various more turmoil. After him, the other clan heads also left one after another, each with a grim, unsightly look and a heavy heart.

Soon, only Wang Zhongtian remained. He sat there in a daze, his expression constantly shifting. Only after a long time did he let out a long sigh, “It's over...”

Wang Zhongtian knew that from today onwards, the Ten Clans Alliance would exist in name only, and the Ten Immortal Giants would never again be able to gather sufficient forces to take revenge on the Origin Sect.

Even more depressing was the fact that, moving forward, they had to defend themselves as well as their long-standing position in the Eighth Heaven Domain! Wang Zhongtian had a premonition that once Lin Xun learned of the Ten Immortal Giants’ situation, he would definitely exploit it!

“Come,” Wang Zhongtian called, his voice heavy and slightly hoarse.

“Awaiting your orders, my lordship.” An old servant appeared outside the grand hall.

Wang Zhongtian said, “Go and announce my explicit order: all members scattered in the outside world must return within three days at the longest! Also, no clansmen may leave clan territory without my permission, or else they shall be heavily punished!”

The old servant solemnly accepted, “Yes!”

“Go.” Wang Zhongtian waved his hand.

After the old servant left, Wang Zhongtian heaved a long sigh and decided to personally pay the Ninth Heaven Domain a visit.

Whether it was to deal with the Origin Sect or with Lin Xun, the factions of the Eighth Heaven Domain were bound to be useless. Only the Divine Clans of the Ninth Heaven Domain could solve the problem!

However, this plan provided Wang Zhongtian no assurance. The epochal calamity was coming within a thousand years. He knew that unless the matter was very important, the bigwigs of those Eternal Divine Clans would never descend to the lower domains.

“No matter what, it's worth a try!” Wang Zhongtian gritted his teeth as he made up his mind.

......

In a hall in the Spirit Sect.

“Senior Sister, Senior Sister...”

Cheng Yu's graceful figure dashed into the hall. She excitedly said, “Junior Brother won. A triumphant victory!”

Ruo Su, Xue Ya, Pu Zhen, and the other disciples of Fangchun Mountain were having a conversation inside. Upon hearing Cheng Yu's news, their eyes lit up in unison.

“What did the news say?” asked Xue Ya with delight.

Cheng Yu's voice was crisp as she replied, “In the two battles, a total of fifty peak Transcendence powerhouses from the Ten Clans Alliance were wiped out—all killed by Junior Brother! There's even a rumor he also destroyed five Eternal Will Dharma Forms!”

Everyone collectively gasped, shaken by this number.

“Junior Brother has gotten so powerful now?” Xue Ya clicked his tongue.

Back then, after he and Pu Zhen had escaped from Taiyu True Realm, Venerable Buddha Shiye and a group of enemies from the Zen Sect had been hot on their heels. In the end, they had hidden in the Cloud Guardian Workshop and coincidentally met Lin Xun.

At the time, the latter had only been a Heavenly Longevity Immortal. How many years have passed since then? Lin Xun had not only reached the advanced Transcendence Stage, but he had also executed fifty peak Transcendence experts by himself! In the process, he had even exterminated five Eternal Will Dharma Forms!

Such a battle record was enough to astonish all ages.

Ruo Su said softly, “Don't forget, our junior brother is the lotus that Master waited forever for, all to seek the power of Eternal Supreme. Only by being able to accomplish that kind of feat is he worthy of the word ‘supreme.’”

Xue Ya had an odd look on his face. “That’s right, he's as good as the supreme lord on the immortal path now. Who dared to imagine that he could kill even Eternal Will Dharma Forms?”

The quiet Pu Zhen suddenly wondered, “So to speak, his current cultivation has surpassed the rest of us in Fangchun Mountain?”

That question caused the crowd to look at each other in a strange atmosphere. They suddenly didn't know how they should feel. Back then, their youngest junior brother had been so small and weak in their eyes, but today...he was already stronger than all of them...

“Not necessarily,” Ruo Su murmured. “Whether or not his fighting prowess can be called number one among us depends on whether or not Eldest Senior Brother has certified eternity yet.”

The rest was stunned.

“Third Senior Sister, you're not suggesting that during these years being trapped in Taiyu True Realm, Eldest Senior Brother...most likely has reached eternity?!” Cheng Yu blurted out.

Ruo Su smiled and shook her head. “I don't know, but according to my understanding of Eldest Senior Brother, as long as there is a sliver of chance to do it, he would never miss it.”

“Senior Sister, the Ten Immortal Giants have suffered heavy casualties. Why don't we take this opportunity and visit the Eighth Heaven Domain?” Xue Ya proposed with burning eyes.

The others were also tempted by this suggestion.

Indeed, the Ten Immortal Giants had been heavily wounded and landed in an extremely tough situation. There was even hope to raze their lairs to the ground!

“Don't forget that both the Zen Sect and the Shaman Sect have yet to act. They are much more dangerous than the Ten Immortal Giants.” Ruo Su's expression became serious. “I originally thought their forces would also show up in the Sixth Heaven Domain, but clearly that's not the case. The more quiet they are, the more alert we must be.”

“Don’t tell me we'll have to sit around like this until they move?” Xue Ya frowned, quite unwilling to accept this idea.

Although Lin Xun's great victory made him feel extraordinarily proud and honored, as a senior brother, watching his youngest junior brother fighting alone left a bad taste in his mouth.

Ruo Su warmly reassured, “Don't be anxious. The time to decide the ultimate winner has yet to come. Let's not rush the end, not after we've been waiting patiently for so many years. I know that we all want to help Junior Brother, but just as I had discussed with him before, the biggest help is us staying still so that he can be at ease when he fights his battles. When the right time comes, and it will, we can all step right in!”

Xue Ya sighed, “I'm just worried that when the right time comes, lil’ Junior Brother will have already swept away all those enemies...”

Everyone was speechless.

Ruo Su was stunned as well. She gave it some thought and realized that this was actually quite possible! She took a deep breath and said, “No matter what, let's wait and see how the situation turns out.”

Not to mention Xue Ya and the others, even she herself was a bit upset. She couldn't wait to go out and fight alongside Lin Xun as early as possible.

However, Ruo Su knew better. Once they moved, it was highly likely that they would be targeted by the Shaman Sect and the Zen Sect. It would lead to too many variables and, worst-case scenario, they might affect Lin Xun!

Therefore, they could only wait, wait for a truly suitable time. For example, when the Shaman Sect and the Zen Sect couldn't hold back anymore and finally acted!

......

In the grand central hall of the Origin Sect, Xuan Feiling, Dugu Yong, Fang Daoping, and the other four deputy pavilion masters all exhaled a long breath. They then glanced at each other and burst out laughing. The laughter filled with elation and ease echoed in the spacious hall for a long time.

“That kid, he's simply invincible!” said Xuan Feiling emotionally as he slapped his thigh at the end of it.

They were the first batch to know about the deaths of Wang Daofeng's group of forty old relics. This news was simply joy from heaven, washing away all previous worries. It also left them as shocked as they were excited.

Although they didn't have the details of the battle, they knew clearly that Lin Xun could now be called the number one expert under the Eternal Stage after such an achievement! One could browse all history and present and still wouldn't find another one in all heavens! Even they, the old monsters, could only lament their inferiority.

“I’m willing to bet the Ten Immortal Giants are so on edge right now!” Dugu Yong laughed up at the sky, feeling satisfaction permeating every fiber of his being.

Everyone else was also laughing so hard they were unable to close their mouths. At first, they had all been worried after hearing that Lin Xun was going to go out there and fight alone. How could they have ever imagined it would turn out like this? All on his own, he had routed and caused devastating damage to the Ten Clans Alliance!

They could say with certainty that after these two battles, the Ten Clans Alliance, established to deal with the Origin Sect, now existed in name only. Those Ten Immortal Giants were no longer able to make another move against them!

Suddenly, a clear voice resounded outside the hall. “What is it that delights all of you so, Seniors?”

Xuan Feiling and the others stiffened. They subconsciously got up and looked outside the hall at once. A tall figure had appeared there at some point. He was dressed in moon-white clothes, as ethereal and elegant as ever. Who was it if not Lin Xun himself?

Their old hearts tumbled in emotions. After what seemed like half a day, all of them smiled broadly and walked over to welcome him back.
