Saint Lord Huang’s body, under the transformative power, was completely annihilated in an instant.
His body could no longer reform and shattered in that moment.
Chu Fengmian opened his mouth, and all of Saint Lord Huang’s essence blood was devoured by him.
"Essence blood from the Realm of Fragmented Life! Truly powerful! This Saint Lord Huang had actually obtained opportunities over a dozen times!"
After Chu Fengmian devoured Saint Lord Huang’s essence blood, it transformed into countless quintessences of Spiritual Power within his body, filling every corner.
The essence blood of one Saint Lord Huang was much more potent than that of a hundred Ancient Desolate Sect disciples.
From his essence blood, Chu Fengmian could sense the countless adventures Saint Lord Huang once had.
These adventures had all fused into his essence blood, becoming his strength.
But now, all of this belonged to Chu Fengmian.
"Seventh level of the Realm of Life and Death!"
Almost instantly, Chu Fengmian’s aura began to ascend step by step, and his realm reached the seventh level of the Realm of Life and Death in that split second.
Devouring this Saint Lord Huang was undoubtedly equivalent to possessing any treasure trove.
Saint Lord Huang’s storage ring also came into Chu Fengmian’s possession, its treasures piled high, and all the treasures obtained from the Cloud Feather Divine Palace had now returned to Chu Fengmian’s hands.
"Good, with the treasures of the Cloud Feather Divine Palace, I’m well-prepared to transcend life and death and breakthrough the Realm of Fragmented Life!"
Chu Fengmian discreetly pocketed the storage ring.
Although Chu Fengmian’s current realm was only at the seventh level of the Realm of Life and Death, he was already planning how to break through the Realm of Fragmented Life.
For other Martial Artists, to breakthrough every single level of the Realm of Life and Death usually takes three to five years, if not longer.
But Chu Fengmian was different.
He practiced the Battle Dragon Technique, which had no bottleneck as long as there was sufficient Spiritual Power; although he was only at the seventh level of the Realm of Life and Death.
If Chu Fengmian wished, by consuming a portion of the treasures from the Cloud Feather Divine Palace, he could instantly reach the peak of the Realm of Life and Death.
For Chu Fengmian, this posed no difficulty; with enough Spiritual Power, he could breakthrough at any time.
However, Chu Fengmian had no intention of doing so; he planned to utilize his treasures when preparing to breakthrough the Realm of Fragmented Life.
Chu Fengmian’s breakthroughs, although easy, had bottlenecks thousands, if not tens of thousands, of times more difficult than those of ordinary Martial Artists.
He had undergone the Life and Death Calamity, experiencing untold hardships, and ascending the steps toward surpassing life and death was hundreds of times harder than reaching the Realm of Fragmented Life.
Therefore, Chu Fengmian had to make early preparations.
"Another breakthrough."
Countless Martial Artists watched as Chu Fengmian broke through, and it was no longer anything unusual; while the others struggled immensely just to break through once, in front of Chu Fengmian, it was so effortless.
When Chu Fengmian first arrived in the Divine Domain, he was but a minor character; who would have thought that he would be the one to inherit the Cloud Feather Divine Palace’s legacy.
At the scene, apart from the disciples of the Heavenly Pivot Hall, all the disciples of the seven major sects present and the Martial Artists who had just attacked Chu Fengmian were all obliterated; none survived.
"I thank Brother Chu for sparing our lives."
From the crowd, Xing Yun of the Heavenly Pivot Hall stepped forward and spoke to Chu Fengmian.
The disciples of the seven great sects had all been slain, with only those from their Heavenly Pivot Hall spared.
Indeed, it was a special favor from Chu Fengmian that had spared their lives.
"It’s of no concern; this is merely me repaying a favor. You saved Yue Li once, so this time I spared the Heavenly Pivot Hall."
Chu Fengmian looked at Xing Yun, his gaze placidly sweeping over the disciples of the Ancient Desolate Sect.
"This favor, only once, the next time if you stand against me, I will kill you all just the same!"
Chu Fengmian’s voice was calm, but the murderous intent contained within was still enough to make one shudder.
In the past, if any martial artist dared to speak to the disciples of the Ancient Desolate Sect in such a manner, people would have thought him a madman, something utterly impossible.
But now, coming from Chu Fengmian’s mouth, none of the martial artists present dared to disbelieve.
Chu Fengmian had killed Saint Lord Huang and annihilated the other six major sects; all the people present had witnessed this.
"No matter what, this time Brother Chu has spared us, which is a great kindness to our Ancient Desolate Sect. I, Xing Yun, will not stand as an enemy to Brother Chu in my lifetime."
Xing Yun’s gaze flickered as he looked at Chu Fengmian and spoke.
"If there is anything Brother Chu commands in the future, I, Xing Yun, will surely repay."
After speaking, Xing Yun led the other disciples of the Ancient Desolate Sect away.
This Valley of Thunderous Wind, too, was reopened by Chu Fengmian.
Countless martial artists from within the Divine Domain hastily departed.
"This Xing Yun is indeed a clever one."
Hearing Xing Yun’s words, Chu Fengmian smiled and said.
The meaning behind Xing Yun’s words also carried a tinge of solicitation.
However, it was no bother; a disciple of the Ancient Desolate Sect was not a concern for Chu Fengmian. His true enemies were those old fossils from the seven major sects.
As for the other disciples, as long as they did not oppose Chu Fengmian, he had no issue releasing a few.
Only after all the martial artists from the Divine Domain had left did Chu Fengmian slowly rise to his feet; with a wave of his hand, the Valley of Thunderous Wind vanished once more, never to be seen again.
This Cloud Feather Palace would henceforth belong solely to Chu Fengmian, and would never allow anyone else entry.
After sealing the entrance to the Divine Domain, Chu Fengmian finally stepped forward, transforming into a spatial tunnel that appeared before him, and he stepped inside.
Within the Ruins of Heaven,
a rift suddenly appeared, and Chu Fengmian’s figure descended upon the mainland of the Ruins.
An ordinary martial artist, even those who had surpassed life and death, could not tear through the space of the Ruins of Heaven to create spatial tunnels.
But now Chu Fengmian, having been acknowledged by the Cloud Feather Palace, was akin to a half denizen of the Ruins of Heaven, hence not subjected to the suppression of these laws and could traverse the Ruins of Heaven at will.
"In numerous corners of the Ruins of Heaven’s mainland, traces of Supreme Sword Energy can be found!"
Chu Fengmian glanced around and felt the presence of Supreme Sword Energy in many places.
The first thing Chu Fengmian did upon returning to the Ruins of Heaven was to continue collecting Supreme Sword Energy.
Because of the Cloud Feather Palace, some of his time had been wasted, and already more than twenty days of the month had passed.
Although Chu Fengmian possessed the Cloud Feather Palace and could leave the Ruins of Heaven at any moment, he could stay for at most a month and a half; staying too long might lead others to discover the secret of the Cloud Feather Palace.
The Cloud Feather Palace, with no need to wait three years to enter or exit the Ruins of Heaven, was undoubtedly a treasure that all seven major sects coveted.
The current Chu Fengmian could not yet reveal himself.
"Only with sufficient power is there no need to hide and sneak around! Let’s go!"
Chu Fengmian’s body moved, and he directly transformed into a beam of light that shot toward the direction where the Supreme Sword Energy was located.
