The onlookers couldn’t believe their eyes when the dust settled.
Mo Tianji, one of the strongest and known for his ruthlessness, was eating the dirt.
Even the Bai Clan Elders couldn’t believe their eyes, despite knowing how powerful Bai Zihan was.
After all, Mo Tianji was known to be in the Soul Formation Realm along with his strong physique.
It didn’t make much sense that soone like him couldn’t even retaliate when being humiliated like this.
And the weird part was that others were also not doing anything and just watching—including other participants from the Demonic Sect.
"YOU..."
The Third Demon General, Gou You, couldn’t be more furious.
Not to ntion that their Saint was being humiliated in front of every big powerhouse of the Desolate Heaven Empire—and that too, by the infamous waste of the Bai Clan, Bai Zihan.
Whoosh!
He didn’t waste a single second, rushing towards Bai Zihan with killing intent.
"How dare you treat our Saint like this!"
Gou You yelled.
"Oh no!"
Bai Ren said when he realized Gou You had already made his move.
Whoosh!
He also went full speed, wanting to stop Gou You before he attacked Bai Zihan.
But he was already too late to respond.
Gou You had already reached where Bai Zihan was.
"Gou You, don’t you dare! You want to go to war against the Bai Clan?"
Bai Ren could only remind Gou You of what the consequences would be if he made his move on the Bai Clan’s heir.
But Gou You didn’t care. No matter what, he thought that eliminating Bai Zihan was his priority.
Whether it was to erase the humiliation suffered by their Saint or to eliminate a potential danger who could one day beco a big threat to their sect.
And he had also thought about the potential of Bai Zihan being the one to have gotten the greatest treasure from Ancient Ruin, judging by how he was able to knock down Mo Tianji like that.
All in all, he didn’t hold back and quickly punched Bai Zihan, who still didn’t have an idea about the potential danger.
Bang!
By the ti people figured out what was happening, Gou You had already pulled Mo Tianji up, and Bai Zihan was nowhere to be seen.
However, with the participants spotting Gou You, everyone could tell what must have happened.
"Are you okay?"
Gou You asked.
"Where is that bastard?"
Mo Tianji gritted his teeth and asked.
"Dead!"
Gou You answered.
After all, he used his full strength—and although he didn’t use any technique (because by then Bai Ren would have already reached and interrupted him), he didn’t think that Bai Zihan would survive his full-strength attack.
"GOU YOU!"
A thunderous voice cracked through the skies like divine wrath.
BOOM!
The ground trembled. The air turned thick.
A wave of suffocating Qi burst out from Bai Ren’s body like a tidal wave crashing down on the world.
The very skies above seed to darken, as if the heavens themselves sensed his fury.
Bai Ren had had enough.
His long white robe fluttered violently despite there being no wind.
His beard flowed like a raging river, and his eyes—usually calm and wise—were now filled with murderous intent.
Crack! Crack!
The pressure alone caused the earth beneath his feet to splinter like glass.
Trees bent, stones shattered, and nearby beasts screeched and fled as the area descended into absolute chaos.
Many of the young geniuses present—including those from powerful clans and sects—stumbled, gasped, and dropped to their knees under the weight of Bai Ren’s raging aura.
Even so early Nascent Formation cultivators had to bite their lips, barely hanging on.
Bai Xueqing, Chu Ziyan, and Bai Xinyue were so of the young geniuses who didn’t have much trouble—especially Bai Xinyue.
However, they were so of the most shocked people, who didn’t know how to respond to the apparent death of Bai Zihan.
The person full of trickery, seemingly far from death, was now announced dead.
Bai Xinyue had always thought it would be her who did it—but now that soone else had, she didn’t know what to feel.
Happy, angry, sad?
Thinking about their last conversation—how he arrogantly declared that the Immortal Emperor Inheritance wasn’t enough for him—but now he was dead, at the hands of soone way weaker than the Immortal Emperor?
But was he truly dead?
She couldn’t believe it.
Though surviving against Gou You’s no-holds-barred attack was nearly impossible for even a Soul Formation Realm cultivator, she thought it might be possible for Bai Zihan who always surprises others.
Bai Xueqing and Chu Ziyan also didn’t know what to think of such news, but they also didn’t believe that Bai Zihan—a trickster like him—would die just like that.
"You dare kill our Bai Clan’s heir? Gou You, you’ve touched our bottom line!"
Bai Ren roared.
His voice echoed across the sky like a dragon’s roar—each word carrying divine might.
Across from him, Gou You stood calmly, his cloak fluttering, arms crossed. But his eyes glead with the unmistakable glint of battle lust.
"You protect a worm who humiliated our Saint," Gou You spat.
"What kind of face will my Demonic Sect have if I just let that go?"
"I don’t give a damn about your face," Bai Ren snapped, his feet stepping forward—each step thundering like a war drum.
"You already lost all of it when you attacked the younger generation!"
BOOM!
Bai Ren raised his hand—and in that instant, a massive jade palm of Qi ford in the air, large enough to blot out the sky.
Gou You’s eyes narrowed.
"You really want to fight here, Bai Ren?"
"You’ve already made your move. Now face the consequences!"
RUMBLE!!!
In a blink, the massive jade palm slamd down.
Gou You didn’t hesitate. Dark demonic Qi erupted from his body like a geyser.
A massive, pitch-black serpent head with glowing red eyes ford above him—his battle spirit.
"Then DIE WITH HIM!"
He thrust both arms forward, and the serpent lunged, colliding with Bai Ren’s jade palm in a deafening explosion that rocked the entire valley.
BOOOOOM!!
Shockwaves rippled out in every direction. Mountains cracked. Several weaker cultivators were sent flying.
This was a battle between two giants!
