As dawn broke over Heavenly Destiny Pass, a massive swarm of Yellow Wasps from the Demon Sect launched the first assault, met by the activation of the Chen Family's Nine Saints Barrier Formation. East Continent Academy disciples surged through a gap in the defenses to clash fiercely with black-robed enemies. Lin Bai dominated the battlefield with his Demonic Sword, flying swords, and Devouring Sword Spirit, annihilating thousands and inspiring awe among allies.

A single palm blast sent tremors through the earth, leaving not a single blade of grass alive within a kilometer.

At the heart of this kilometer-wide devastation, Lin Bai stood motionless, staring at the warriors felled by his strike, his face devoid of emotion, yet inwardly he pondered: "In this utter chaos, hardly anyone will question the methods I employed, right!"

"Devouring Sword Spirit, I merely tapped into one-third of your strength, and in a flash, thousands of warriors were eradicated..."

"I earnestly hope that someday I won’t need to conceal you, and your razor edge will dazzle the entire world!"

"Yet that moment remains distant, I fear!"

Lin Bai lingered amid this kilometer-spanning wasteland, deep in contemplation for a prolonged moment, before his silhouette blurred. Instantly, two flying swords plunged into the masses, reaping lives ruthlessly, his gaze icy and flickering with frosty menace.

Outside the fierce clash at Heavenly Destiny Pass.

Atop a lofty peak in the Endless Mountain Range, the white-haired woman beheld Lin Bai’s earth-shaking palm that obliterated thousands of warriors. Her eyes abruptly gleamed, a peculiar murmur rising from her throat: "Hmm?"

Ancestor Ding observed the white-haired woman’s intense stare locked on Lin Bai and remarked, "Sect Master, that individual is the Saint from the East Continent Academy, Lin Bai, hailing from the Territory of all nations!"

"His mastery of sword arts places him in the top three across the East Continent."

"Yet his most fearsome traits are his swift decisiveness, brutal ruthlessness, and utter lack of mercy!"

"On Saint Island, he clashed against every hero single-handedly, and now half the quasi-saints of the East Continent Academy lie defeated by him. His prospects seem limitless!"

"Should Sect Master employ the Life and Death Talisman to bind him... it would immensely aid the Demon Sect’s future, along with your own endeavors, Sect Master!"

Ancestor Ding spoke with a grin.

While Ancestor Ding desired Lin Bai’s subjugation by the Demon Sect, deep down he craved not his service to them, but to torment him savagely once under their control!

After all, Ancestor Ding nursed a deep grudge against Lin Bai, loathing him intensely!

The white-haired woman’s brow furrowed faintly, a subtle smile curving her lips as she ignored Ancestor Ding, murmuring inwardly, "Could that be the might of the Devouring Martial Soul?"

"How have members of the Sky-swallowing Clan reached the Barbaric Ancient Continent?"

The white-haired woman let out a soft chuckle.

Yet in that instant, as her gaze returned to Lin Bai, unease stirred within her mind, her frown tightening with a trace of agony.

"Damn it! Be silent!"

The white-haired woman clenched her teeth, snarling under her breath.

Ancestor Ding shuddered violently at her muffled snarl, clamping his mouth shut at once.

The Eight Great Envoys trailing behind were equally stunned.

They remained unaware, of course, that the white-haired woman wasn’t berating them, but her own flesh... as if some other power lurked inside her!

Now, fixing her eyes on Lin Bai once more, the white-haired woman’s gaze grew frigid: "I recall it now—he’s Lin Bai, the one from the Territory of all nations?"

"He’s the fixation haunting your heart!"

"And thanks to him, your soul endures even now!"

"If he perishes ahead of you, will you finally embrace dissolution?"

A vicious smirk twisted the white-haired woman’s lips.

"Go, fetch me Lin Bai’s head!"

She whirled to face the seven envoys at her back, her voice laced with ice.

"As you command!" The remaining six envoys bowed their heads and replied promptly.

Only Hua Yuxian, her features rigid with tension, paused briefly before uttering, "As you command!"

With that, the seven envoys surged forward, hurtling toward the fray at blinding speed.

The Demon Sect once boasted Eight Great Envoys, until Lin Bai slew Shen Qin in the Phoenix Song Area, leaving them with just seven!

These seven envoys hurtled forth with terrifying velocity, their cultivations towering above their peers, standing as the elite young martial artists of the East Continent.

In the heart of the battlefield, Lin Bai rampaged unchecked, a god of war incarnate.

His sword felled black-robed warriors one after another.

Suddenly, Lin Bai sensed an overwhelming aura of death creeping up from behind.

His expression twisted in alarm, and just then, his two flying swords whipped around, materializing at his rear.

Clangs of clashing arms echoed right behind Lin Bai.

Glancing over his shoulder, Lin Bai spotted a malevolent youth gripping a gore-stained longsword, glaring at him with chilling intent.

Around thirty years old, this youth clad in black robes boasted a pale face, a faint smile tugging at his lips, while radiating the mighty aura of Death Reversal Realm Seventh Layer.

"Saint of the East Continent Academy, Lin Bai, your fame has reached my ears long ago. Allow me to introduce myself: I am Yu Liang, among the Eight Great Envoys of the Demon Sect!" declared the youth gripping the blood-drenched longsword, a light smile on his face.

Facing Yu Liang, Lin Bai smiled back: "Given your age, possessing such cultivation level truly marks you as a Tianjiao of the East Continent!"

Near Lin Bai, Lan Yuxin struck down the black-robed fighter before her with a single palm, then swiftly turned her gaze toward him.

Lan Yuxin noticed that Demon Sect warriors within a hundred meters around Lin Bai all dreaded him intensely, scattering at his sight, while a youth now stood directly before Lin Bai.

"Blood Domain’s top Tianjiao, Yu Liang!" Lan Yuxin murmured softly.

Yu Liang let out a chuckle: "Of course, I cannot rival the Saint of the East Continent Academy, yet today I yearn to test the Saint of the East Continent Academy’s prowess!"

Without further ado as he spoke, Yu Liang’s form blurred in a flash, his bloodied longsword exploding with brilliant light, hacking fiercely at Lin Bai!

Crimson sword qi stretched across a hundred meters, razor-sharp beyond compare, slicing straight toward Lin Bai!

"You alone?!" Lin Bai sneered coldly. With Great Sun Chasing Skill activated in a flicker, he effortlessly evaded the strike, while his two flying swords and demonic sword thrust simultaneously at Yu Liang.

Ahead flew the swords, the Tai Chi Dual Elemental Sword Array surging forward unstoppable, like a divine being from the heavens descending.

Pallor flickered across Yu Liang’s features under Lin Bai’s overwhelming pressure; he retreated hastily in that instant, channeling his sword technique for protection.

A deafening bang resounded.

Those two flying swords demolished Yu Liang’s defenses, and right then, Lin Bai’s demonic sword loomed before Yu Liang, piercing toward his throat.

In that very moment, a shadowy figure abruptly materialized in front of Yu Liang, its palm swatting Lin Bai’s sword aside.

That tremendous power not only deflected Lin Bai’s blade but hurled him back a full hundred meters.

Now Lin Bai beheld yet another cultivator emerging before Yu Liang, also at Death Reversal Realm Seventh Layer!

"Yu Liang, you owe me thanks for the save." The youth grinned at Yu Liang as he spoke.

Grim-faced, Yu Liang snorted: "Jiang Ba, I didn’t ask for your aid—I can deal with him alone!"

Jiang Ba scoffed contemptuously: "Please, without my intervention, that single sword would have ended you."

"A mere slip from carelessness; redo it now, and I won’t give him any chance!" Yu Liang replied icily.

Lin Bai eyed the robust youth who had appeared in front of Yu Liang, his expression subtly altering.

Meanwhile, five more cultivators burst forth from every direction on the battlefield—three men and two women.

Numbering seven in total, they surrounded Lin Bai completely!
