Xu Nian and the others arrive at the Ancient Divine Cave, a site of an ancient sect's ruins built upon a Divine Origin Stone vein. They learn the Origin Key requires a blood sacrifice of a God King's Ten Thousand Dao Origin. Suddenly, Ling Feng of the Ancient Divine Clan attacks and kills a member of the Yetian Sect, revealing the fierce competition for the Origin Key.

Within the Chaos Divine Palace, Xu Nian’s true form stood before Emperor Ye Tian.

"Master, have you ever founded a sect?" Xu Nian asked.

"A sect? I’ve never founded a sect, though I did have a few registered disciples," replied Emperor Ye Tian after a moment of contemplation.

"Then does the Yetian Sect have anything to do with you?" Xu Nian continued to inquire.

He hadn’t expected that Emperor Ye Tian had other registered disciples.

He always believed he was the only disciple of Emperor Ye Tian.

"Yetian Sect? Now that you mention it, those registered disciples did indeed create a sect, but I never concerned myself with it. Have you encountered them?" Emperor Ye Tian asked.

"Yes, my Gold Attribute Avatar came across them on the Desolate Sky Battle Field, but they seem to be in some trouble," Xu Nian confirmed with a nod.

So it appears this Yetian Sect indeed has ties to his master, Emperor Ye Tian.

"I see. Help if you can, but don’t force it. Those five registered disciples I accepted back then should have all reached the Divine Sovereign Level, though it’s unlikely they reached the Divine Emperor stage," responded Emperor Ye Tian.

Xu Nian nodded in understanding.

Emperor Ye Tian then provided information about the five.

Xu Nian soon understood: four senior brothers and one senior sister.

This made Xu Nian feel a sense of kinship.

...

In the Desolate Sky Battle Field, after learning this information, Xu Nian’s eyes became steely.

It seems the Yetian Sect hasn’t developed well over the years; otherwise, they wouldn’t be bullied by the Ancient Divine Clan like this.

After all, the Ancient Divine Clan wouldn’t target a powerful faction first; they would go after what they consider the weakest.

Thus, it seems the Yetian Sect is the weakest among them.

At this moment, those six God King Level experts were angry but silent.

None among them had crossed the Origin Talisman Threshold; hence, they were no match for the Spirit Eye Clan’s First Rank Origin Talisman expert.

"Haha, what if I kill you? Your Yetian Sect is the weakest among this group from the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races, and you have poor relations with them; who would stand up for you if I killed you?" Ling Feng sneered disdainfully.

The six members of the Yetian Sect gritted their teeth in anger.

Among the lurking Divine Kings of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races, not one stepped out, some even watched with amusement.

"Is this the cohesion of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races, watching as their allies get killed?" Xu Nian muttered with a furrowed brow and steely eyes.

"The cohesion is indeed weak, but it’s only Ling Feng acting. If others join, someone would step in," remarked Xuan Ye, frowning.

Xu Nian remained silent.

It seems that relying on so-called allies is a joke.

Here, one can only rely on oneself.

"Ling Feng, don’t go too far. Our Yetian Sect isn’t without strong members. Our eldest brother and second senior sister will soon arrive; they have both crossed the Origin Talisman Threshold," the leading young man immediately stated.

"So what if they come? Until then, I can easily kill you all," Ling Feng retorted with a cold laugh.

All six members of the Yetian Sect looked grave, their eyes filled with intense anger.

Clearly, they knew Ling Feng was speaking the truth.

Their resistance was futile against Ling Feng’s assault.

"I’ve long heard the Ancient Divine Clan is arrogant, and today I’ve finally seen it."

Right then, Xu Nian walked out, coldly addressing the Spirit Eye Clan member named Ling Feng.

Upon hearing this, everyone’s gaze turned to Xu Nian.

Xuan Ye’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, clearly not anticipating Xu Nian’s intervention at this moment.

The Yetian Sect members felt a spark of joy upon hearing this.

Someone is standing up for them?

However, upon seeing Xu Nian’s cultivation level, their expressions turned grim once more.

"Haha, an Early Stage God King dares to join the fray; do you have a death wish?" Ling Feng looked at Xu Nian, laughing mockingly.

Many others around also sneered, including some from the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races.

Indeed, an Early Stage God King daring to intervene in matters involving a First Rank Origin Talisman God King, isn’t that courting death?

"Fellow Daoist, this isn’t your concern. I appreciate your goodwill, but please don’t invite danger upon yourself for our sake," said the lead male of the Yetian Sect, looking toward Xu Nian.

His tone carried a hint of helplessness.

Xu Nian chuckled helplessly at these words, ignoring the Yetian Sect man, and instead turned to Ling Feng, smiling, "Though my cultivation is inferior to yours, killing doesn’t always require cultivation. If you dare act against them again, I think this formation will be enough to kill you."

As he finished, nine top-grade Divine Swords appeared in Xu Nian’s hands, emanating extremely sharp Sword Qi.

This was the Nine-star Geng Metal Sword Formation he had devised after modifying the Nine-star Sword Formation from the Eight Extremes Divine Array.

His proficiency in formations was now quite deep; the Nine-star Sword Formation was already a top-grade God King sword formation, infused with Geng Metal Qi, making its power even more terrifying.

The power of this sword formation hadn’t reached the Divine Sovereign Level but was enough to rival experts of the Second and Third Rank Origin Talisman.

This was Xu Nian’s second trump card besides the Demon-Subduing Pestle for his Gold Attribute Avatar.

He hadn’t planned to reveal it, but considering the Yetian Sect members had ties to Emperor Ye Tian, he couldn’t simply walk away.

As the Nine-star Geng Metal Sword Formation emerged, Ling Feng’s expression changed drastically.

He sensed an extremely dangerous aura from this sword formation.

This formation was capable of killing him.

This made his expression turn serious instantly.

Many around showed surprised expressions, not expecting this God King level guy to possess such a formidable sword formation.

Thus, it seemed Ling Feng would not dare to act rashly.

Xuan Ye and Jin Gang were both surprised as well, not expecting Xu Nian to possess such capabilities.

"Well, is this sword formation enough to kill you?" Xu Nian asked with a slight smile.

"Hmph, you’re lucky. What’s your name?" Ling Feng coldly asked, looking at Xu Nian.

"I am Xu Nian," Xu Nian replied with a smile.

"Xu Nian, very well. I will remember you. Don’t let me encounter you again, or I will make you regret it," Ling Feng sneered before disappearing.

"Looking forward to it at any time," Xu Nian responded with a slight smile, his expression calm.

In truth, if a fight broke out, even though his sword formation could threaten this guy, it couldn’t last long.

If the opponent managed to hold the formation at bay, Xu Nian would be at risk of being killed.

However, killing Xu Nian wouldn’t be easy either, as his life-preserving skills were not limited to just these.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist, for your help." The lead male of the Yetian Sect immediately approached Xu Nian to express gratitude.

The other five also clasped their fists toward Xu Nian.

Xu Nian replied with a slight smile, "What is Dugu Ye to you?"

Hearing this, the six of them exchanged looks of surprise.

The lead male asked, "You know our Sect Master?"
