Starting as a Grandmaster, all of my cultivation techniques are at max level.

Guiyi Sect's mountain gate is a hundred miles away.

Under the pale moonlight, the buildings below could be vaguely seen.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the void, and Xia Jin walked out of the crack, with three corpses silently floating beside him.

His gaze pierced through the void for miles, looking towards the Guiyi Sect built atop the mountains.

Even in the dead of night, the lights were still on, and the palaces and pavilions were numerous, befitting one of the top powers in Zixing Prefecture.

"Just before I left, I heard Sect Master Jiang say that the Sect Master of the Guiyi Sect seems to have already reached the ninth level of the Great Power Realm, and is even making every effort to break through to the Saint Realm?"

Xia Jin's lips curled up slightly, revealing a playful smile.

He had only recently broken through to the ninth level of the Great Power Realm and needed a worthy opponent to test his strength. Ordinary Great Power Realm cultivators were no match for him; even the Second Elder of the Guiyi Sect, who was at the third level of the Great Power Realm, couldn't even give him a warm-up.

And this Guiyi Sect leader who is aiming for sainthood is indeed quite impressive.

"I haven't tried going all out yet. Using this old ghost as a whetstone is a pretty good choice. In this exchange, I'll definitely see just how powerful the Mortal World Sword Intent truly is at its full strength!!"

Xia Jin muttered to herself, a fighting spirit gradually igniting in her eyes.

"However, it is not advisable to reveal my identity before this confrontation."

Thinking of this, he reached into his storage ring and took out a bronze mask.

The moment Xia Jin put on the mask, her entire demeanor changed, making her resemble a demon in the darkness.

After doing all this, Xia Jin waved her hand, and the three corpses floating beside her were propelled by a tremendous force, shooting towards the Guiyi Sect's mountain gate a hundred miles away.

In just a few breaths, it had already traversed a hundred miles and crashed heavily in front of the Guiyi Sect's mountain gate.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three muffled thuds sounded almost simultaneously, and three craters instantly appeared on the ground in front of the Guiyi Sect's mountain gate.

The commotion wasn't too great to alarm the entire sect, but it was enough to attract the attention of the Guiyi Sect disciples guarding the mountain gate.

"What the hell is that noise in the middle of the night? It woke me up, what a damn nuisance!!"

A Guiyi Sect disciple, yawning and rubbing his sleepy eyes, peeked out from behind a large tree beside the mountain gate. The night was dark, and he could only vaguely make out several deep pits in front of the gate.

"Strange, what could have fallen down in the middle of the night? Even the monsters of the night wouldn't easily approach our Guiyi Sect!"

He muttered something impatiently, but still decided to go and take a look.

He glanced at his two junior brothers who were still fast asleep beside him and kicked them. "Wake up, both of you! Didn't you hear the commotion outside the mountain gate? Come on, let's go take a look."

After the other two disciples woke up, they groggily followed behind their senior brother and lazily walked towards the mountain gate.

Shortly after, the senior brother among the three squatted down, took a closer look, and his expression changed drastically.

"This...this is..."

He unconsciously swallowed.

"Second Elder! Third Elder! Seventh Elder!"

"The three elders... they're all dead! Who did this?"

The piercing scream startled the two still-sleepy disciples behind him. When they saw the faces of the three corpses on the ground, they were equally terrified.

"How is this possible? I heard that the Second Elder was a powerful expert at the third level of the Great Power Realm! How could he suddenly die!?"

"Go and report this right now! Go quickly!"

However, before they could recover from their shock, the Guiyi Sect disciple who was preparing to go back and report suddenly felt that the ground seemed to be getting brighter and brighter, so he looked up at the sky.

But that one glance filled his eyes with terror, even more so than when he saw the corpses of the three elders.

"Brother Guo... Senior Brother Guo, look... look at the sky!!"

He pointed his finger at the sky, as if he had seen something incredible.

"The sun...the sun!"

"Hmph!! What nonsense are you spouting? Hurry up and report to the elders!" The disciple called Senior Brother Guo glared at the other person with some dissatisfaction, but then he also looked up and was instantly stunned.

The sky above Guiyi Sect was as bright as midday.

A gigantic fireball, as large as the sun, hovered in the air.

The fireball was as big as a small mountain, burning with intense white flames, and it fell directly towards the Guiyi Sect.

The firelight illuminated the entire sky and also lit up every face filled with fear in front of the Guiyi Sect's mountain gate.

Xia Jin stood a hundred miles away, one hand supporting the sky, and in her palm was a white fireball that resembled the sun.

The Great Sun Burning Heaven Technique.

This was the first time he had fully activated this divine ability after breaking through to the ninth level of the Great Power Realm.

"Go."

With a gentle wave of her hand, Xia Jin caused the "sun" to fall towards the Guiyi Sect.

A few breaths later, the "sun" in front of the Guiyuan Sect's mountain gate was less than a hundred meters away from the sect.

A terrifying heatwave swept in first, and the archway in front of the Guiyi Sect's mountain gate collapsed under its strain. Immediately afterward, buildings near the mountain gate spontaneously combusted, the wooden structures igniting in an instant, and the fire spreading rapidly.

"Why is it so hot so late at night?"

"What?! There's a fire all of a sudden?! Quick, quick, put out the fire!"

"No, look at the sky! What's that?!"

From the moment Xia Jin made her move, less than five breaths later, exclamations of surprise rang out continuously, alarming the entire Guiyi Sect.

Figures flew out from various palaces, and when everyone looked up and saw the falling "sun," their expressions were all the same: shock, fear, and disbelief.

"You bastards! Who dares to offend my Guiyi Sect!?"

A furious roar came from the depths of the sect, followed by several powerful auras soaring into the sky. The three elders attacked simultaneously, each unleashing their unique abilities, blasting towards the "sun".

A sword light slashed through the sky, incredibly sharp.

A palm print blotted out the sky, its power astonishing.

A bolt of lightning descended from the sky, accompanied by thunder and lightning.

The three attacks struck the "sun" simultaneously.

However, to everyone's surprise, the attacks of the three Guiyi Sect elders, despite their full efforts, were completely swallowed up by the white flames on the surface of the "sun".

It's impossible to shatter it, let alone stop it for even a second.

"This...how is this possible!"

The elder who made the move turned pale, his eyes filled with horror.

His all-out attack just vanished like that?

Xia Jin stood a hundred miles away, watching this scene with a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth and a hint of mockery in her eyes.

"Hmph! How could you lowly scum possibly stop the Great Sun Burning Heaven Technique, which I wield with the full power of a ninth-level Great Power Realm cultivator?"

He stood with his hands behind his back, his long purple hair fluttering in the night wind, a cold smile playing on his lips beneath his bronze mask: "If your sect leader doesn't make a move, the Guiyi Sect will be reduced to ruins today. I'd like to see when your sect leader will finally act!"

The "sun" continued its descent, now less than fifty feet from the Guiyi Sect.

The scorching temperature caused the lake water within a radius of dozens of miles to boil, trees to spontaneously combust, and flowers and grasses to turn to ash. Within the Guiyi Sect, screams and cries of terror echoed continuously.

"Elder, save me!"

"Sect Master! Why haven't you made a move yet?!"

"Run!"

The entire Guiyi sect was in complete chaos.

The elders also looked anxiously towards the back mountain.

It seemed that the shouts of some disciples had reached the back mountain of the Guiyi Sect.

Soon a golden light shone from the back mountain of the Guiyi Sect.
