The Tong Family Patriarch and Celestial Sun Sect Leader emerged to provoke Wen Ping, who unleashed a swift sword strike against them. The three new Jisheng Hall War Gods—Yu Guan, Xu Qing, and Chang Tianqing—intervened with a golden arrow, confronting Wen Ping amid gathering onlookers. As Wen Ping turned to leave, holy light descended with the six-winged angel Lucifer, whose presence amplified the War Gods' arrogance, spurring their immediate attack.

Upon hearing Wen Ping's order, Lucifer gradually lifted both hands, as though grasping an unseen object. At once, holy light poured down anew, enveloping Lucifer along with Yu Pass's trio. The arrows fired by Yu Pass melted away in an instant, while Xu Qing and his companions' assaults faded into nothingness.

Beneath the holy light, erosion crept over the bodies of the two foes. Though their inner arrogance swelled beyond measure, their fundamental battle instincts endured. The moment the holy light fell upon them, they swiftly withdrew.

Though they escaped the holy light's reach, innumerable white marks lingered on their skin. Yet no one noticed these at first, only sensing trouble when attempting to unleash the Vein Technique once more.

"What's going on?"

"My spirit body!"

"My spirit body has dropped to the Great Success Realm!"

The trio stood dumbfounded, probing their spirit bodies closely and verifying the plunge from Perfection Realm to Great Success Realm.

It was only then that they spotted the white spots dotting their skin and grasped the anomaly.

Right then, Lucifer uttered the phrase, "Fallen Judgment!"

Fallen Judgment—a skill belonging to Lucifer.

It diminishes every foe's spirit body by a full realm; those at Perfection tumble straight to Great Success, and lower accordingly.

Such a decline in spirit body realm slashes power by at least thirty percent, potentially even sixty.

Prolonged combat becomes impossible, with bodily resilience plummeting sharply.

Lucifer lifted his hand once more, declaring the words ahead of time: "Sinful Body!"

Sinful Body!

Another of Lucifer's abilities, dramatically boosting his attack strength and swiftness.

Lucifer's declaration reverberated through the heavens as holy light bathed him again, greedily devoured by his form. Once the encircling glow was nearly spent, his presence surged wildly, his aura dwarfing its prior might.

With a single flap of his six wings—even as traces of holy light lingered—Lucifer vanished from sight, materializing behind the trio. Yu Pass could barely react before a devastating punch to his back hurled him earthward.

Boom——

The colossal crash resembled a plummeting star, gouging a hundred-foot crater where Yu Pass lay mangled beyond recognition. His armor lay in ruins, his spirit body battered down to half strength by that single blow!

One more such strike, and he'd be done for!

Clouds in the sky gaped at the spectacle, then glanced at Yin Yang's two elders nearby. "That punch's velocity—we might struggle to even respond. A surprise hit like that would leave us in dire straits too."

Nai Qing stared gravely at Lucifer before speaking. "From that strike alone, his might clearly eclipses ours. Paired with the Sword Demon, he'd probably overwhelm all three of us effortlessly. His power might even top the Domain Lord's Mansion's three Hall Masters, judging by the blow's ferocity. What if he deploys a Vein Technique? An Upper Realm powerhouse of this caliber reveals the Immortal Sect's foundations as frighteningly vast. Yet why has the Immortal Sect's name never reached our ears?"

Nai Qing burned with curiosity.

By all reason, a force this potent should hold some fame in Heaven-Gazing Gorge, no matter their seclusion. But the Immortal Sect seemed utterly unknown there, as if they'd never existed—a baffling mystery.

While Nai Qing pondered deeply, Lucifer unleashed two more thunderous punches, flinging Xu Qing and his ally away like shooting stars to crash a thousand feet distant. They slammed onto Heaven Ascending Plateau, plowing a hundred-foot gash in the earth.

From a distance, the sight chilled the blood!

Despite Xu Qing and the others mustering defenses in time, these proved pitifully weak against Lucifer. Even absorbing just ten percent of the punch's force, the leftover ninety percent ravaged them internally.

Having delivered one crushing blow to each of the trio, Lucifer held back from finishing Yu Pass's group. Instead, he blinked away again, rematerializing before Celestial Sun Sect's Sect Leader and his fleeing companion. Disregarding their terror and frantic begs for mercy, he struck without hesitation.

Boom——

One punch carved a thousand-foot swath!

Where he struck, a profound thousand-foot furrow yawned open—like a drained White Crystal Vein. Celestial Sun Sect's Sect Leader pair, plus Jisheng Hall's bamboo flute wielder, all crumbled to dust, erased from existence.

The horrifying display sent Red Leaf Sect's several Vice Sect Leaders scrambling in panic, fleeing this den of doom at utmost speed.

The Earth Unrestricted powerhouses who had allied with Celestial Sun Sect's Sect Leader also fled in haste through the skies, terrified that Immortal Sect would turn on them next.

Seeing this unfold, both Xuan Court Pavilion and Yin Yang Family felt profound awe.

Immortal Sect proves utterly domineering.

Though Jisheng Hall's members aimed to shield Celestial Sun Sect's two Sect Leaders, Immortal Sect struck them straight on, boldly confronting even Jisheng Hall's War God.

Incredibly ferocious!

Who would have the nerve to provoke a sect like that?

Jisheng Hall's prestige got completely shattered today.

And every force across the Red Domain beheld it all!

Those Jisheng Hall warriors from You Country, every single one, withdrew to a great distance, too scared to press forward. Now, they harbored just one idea: locate the Hall Master!

With the three War Gods unable to match up, all hopes naturally fell on the Jisheng Hall Master.

...

Jin Water Tower.

"Busan, this wine hasn't aged over a thousand years, has it? During the last Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking, your brew wasn't this lackluster." Di Chen scowled as he drained a cup of wine.

Jin Busan offered a faint smile and remarked, "Di Chen, I've figured you out. You say this every time you drink. If it's not good enough, skip it. I don't have plenty for myself!"

"You——"

Bam!

Di Chen was on the verge of replying when a thunderous bang erupted outside the door.

An Earth Unrestricted powerhouse botched his landing, smashing down before Jin Water Tower. This riled Di Chen, who nearly unleashed a curse, but right as he began, the expert shouted in alarm, "Hall Master, disaster strikes! Immortal Sect's Sect Leader assaulted Celestial Sun Sect's Sect Leader duo right at Jisheng Hall's headquarters. Yu Pass's three War Gods couldn't endure a single punch from Immortal Sect's Upper Realm expert—they face certain death now!"

Swish!

Di Chen and Jin Busan's faces twisted; they leaped up together, then morphed into streaks of light, rocketing out of the city at top speed.

"Has Immortal Sect's Sect Leader lost his mind?"

"Is this outright war against Jisheng Hall?"

Fury blazed on their faces, banishing any notion of peaceful ties with Immortal Sect's Sect Leader as wrath consumed their thoughts.

Even if Immortal Sect's Sect Leader boasts mighty Vortex Divine Artisan power?

They remain subordinate to the Domain Lord's Mansion—now battling it head-on? What madness is this?

A revolt?

Clinging to one Upper Realm expert, do they fancy defying the heavens?

But upon exiting the city and sensing Lucifer's aura, their expressions shifted once more.

A flicker of shock pierced their rage-contorted visages.

"What a terrifying aura!"

"It nearly matches the Domain Master's!"
