I am a high-level martial arts master.

Inside the quiet room of the Canglong Gang in Guangming City.

Ye Li was discussing with the remnant soul of the Dragon Girl the matter of recruiting members for the Immortal Sect.

The sun shone brightly outside the window, and the city was still filled with the jubilant atmosphere of Ye Li's ascension to ninth place on the Prodigy Ranking. Everyone's face was etched with pride and joy. However, amidst this peaceful scene...

Above this pale expanse, a figure transcends time and space, appearing in the sky above the Xia Kingdom.

"This is the Xia Kingdom, the homeland of that prodigy. The elder is right, it seems I should be the first one to arrive here."

A young man in white stood high in the sky, looking down at the small country below, a faint smile appearing in his eyes.

"Following our usual recruitment principles, let's start by showing some goodwill."

Thinking of this, the man in white closed his eyes slightly.

The divine thought instantly covered the kingdom below like an invisible tide.

In an instant, countless noisy conversations from the capital of Xia Kingdom, Guangming City, and even the surrounding countries flooded into his consciousness like a burst dam. A massive amount of information rapidly pieced together in his mind:

Ye Li... Xia Kingdom... Li Kingdom... Jiang Family...

A flood of information surged through the white-clad youth's mind, gradually filling his eyes with disgust.

"What a filthy nation! We have to expend a lot of effort to cleanse it!"

"Only death can atone for your sins!"

With this thought in mind, the white-robed youth let out a cold snort.

The power of the Innate Realm was released outwards without any concealment!

When the Gan King entered the capital at the Qi Condensation Realm, he made no attempt to conceal his power, causing the common people and martial artists along the way to kneel in worship.

But compared to the white-clad youth at this moment, he was a billion times weaker!

Buzz! ! !

An indescribable, terrifying pressure that transcended all limits of perception suddenly descended without warning!

It felt as if it was being squeezed in from every dimension of the universe and from every crevice of spacetime!

The territory of the Xia Kingdom, or rather, the territory of the thousands of small states on the periphery of the Xia Kingdom.

Aside from the Xia Kingdom, hundreds of millions of lives in neighboring countries felt a terrifying sense of oppression deep in their souls at the same instant.

Faced with such pressure.

The sky instantly lost its color.

Immediately afterwards, in addition to two suns, one large and one small, appeared in the sky.

And out of nowhere, another red sunrise appeared.

That third red sunrise exuded coldness and indifference, like the indifference of the creator.

As if looking down at a colony of ants on a sand table, the white-robed youth's aura locked onto the territories of seven or eight countries, including Li Kingdom and Yan Tie Kingdom, that had participated in the siege of Ye Li without any emotion!

Silent! No heat!

Only a blinding red light, like the end of the world.

Under the horrified gaze of hundreds of millions of people in neighboring countries.

The pure crimson light, a billion times more intense than the midday sun, instantly swallowed everything in sight!

Like the first ray of light at the beginning of creation, it filled the entire world out of thin air!

The creatures of Xia Kingdom, Fengyu, Yuze, and even more distant lands were all deprived of their sight at this moment, leaving only an endless, soul-scorching crimson!

Immediately following, with the territories of the Li Kingdom and the Yan Tie Kingdom at their core, all matter began its most thorough disintegration and annihilation.

The majestic, continuous mountain range, like fragile ice and snow under the blazing sun, vaporized silently, without even a wisp of smoke rising.

The mighty, roaring rivers were instantly evaporated, revealing their parched, cracked, and then molten, crimson-red riverbeds. The bustling cities, the scattered villages, and the countless lives struggling to survive within them—whether martial artists at the Qi Condensation stage, innate masters, or ignorant women and children, birds and beasts—were all annihilated.

The innate realm, from the first to the fifth stage, is a process of the five elements being derived.

The five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water interact with each other, generating and restraining each other, until one becomes a grandmaster and opens up a world within their body.

But since it is possible to create the world within its own body, it is also possible to reverse the process of creation of heaven and earth and directly return the world to chaos.

Everything, organic or inorganic, returns to its most primitive particle state in that extreme light and heat.

Within the territory of the Li Kingdom, a gigantic red pillar of light, indescribable in words, slowly rose.

In just a few breaths, a terrifying sinkhole with a diameter of nearly 10,000 miles was formed in an instant.

There were no traces of destruction left by the shockwave; the entire nation was wiped out with a wave of the hand.

Seven or eight nations with histories spanning countless ages, and billions of lives.

Along with their history, civilization, love, hate, and grudges.

In the blink of an eye, it was like graffiti on the beach being wiped away by the tide, or a candle being extinguished by a gale.

There was no struggle, no wailing, and not even time to feel fear.

Just a moment ago, countless people in the Kingdom of Li were still terrified by Ye Li's rise to power.

The next moment, it was completely turned into cosmic dust, almost erasing even the slightest trace of its existence.

The process was as easy as a mischievous child casually lifting his foot and crushing a few ants blocking his way.

And this was the great gift that the young man in white gave to Ye Li.

It means to easily smooth over all the countries that have offended it, and to vent its anger.

In the newly rebuilt square of the capital of Xia Kingdom.

The group of warriors, who were originally delighted by the rise of the Xia Kingdom, were now staring blankly at the fleeting pillar of light in the distance.

Although we don't know what happened, the strange sight that was revealed was truly terrifying.

Du Xiaoyuan and the other two Innate Realm experts froze, their faces ashen, cold sweat instantly soaking their backs as they felt the terrifying aura in the sky. The next moment, all living beings within the entire Xia Kingdom...

Whether ordinary people or martial artists, no matter where they are, at this moment, a voice resounds without warning deep within their hearts.

The voice was cold and indifferent, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, yet it contained supreme authority and command, like the imperial decree of Heaven, leaving no room for doubt: "Disciples of the Heavenly Illusion Immortal Sect have arrived."

"All the people of Xia, come out to greet us immediately."

"The purpose of this trip is to recruit the prodigy Ye Li."

The sound resonated in every soul, carrying an absolute indifference that looked down upon all living beings.

Guangming City, Canglong Gang.

Ye Li suddenly opened his eyes in the quiet room, feeling the imposing aura above him and the voice resounding in his soul.

The Southern Immortal Sect has arrived!

"What a grand display!"

Ye Li was secretly alarmed, sensing the unfathomable soul power.

Compared to Ye Li's soul power, which was comparable to the third level of the Innate Realm, it was worlds apart, not even in the same league.

Ye Li slowly stood up, his face somewhat solemn, and spoke to the Dragon Girl using the method of soul transmission:

"This visitor seems ill-intentioned; their voice was so cold, they don't seem like someone to be trifled with."

The Dragon Girl remained calm, having sensed something the moment Xiantian appeared.

Unlike Ye Li and other innate beings who were completely unaware of attacks beyond their line of sight, she witnessed the entire process and said calmly, "Don't be nervous. This is how all the immortals of the Southern Barbarians are. This indifference is not directed at you, but at these ants from the Xia Kingdom."

"In their eyes, those who aren't one of their own are no different from trash."

"Otherwise, why is the Southern Barbarians called the Southern Barbarians? It's because the sects here manage the country just like tribes manage sheep."

"Do you expect to feign a gentle demeanor towards your own shepherds?"

"When they have you as a guest, they will even cook lamb and slaughter cattle to invite you to a banquet to show their generosity."

Ye Li did not answer, but could feel an irresistible force enveloping the entire Guangming City.

That force was gentle yet incredibly resilient, clearly pointing in a certain direction outside the city.

He took a deep breath and pushed open the door to the quiet room.

Outside the door, Jiang Xiyue, Zheng Tong, the Canglong Gang members, and even the people of Guangming City all looked tense.

That's a celestial sect!!!

The legendary, lofty immortal sects were making their first appearance in the Xia Kingdom, leaving the Xia Kingdom understandably nervous.

Ye Li's gaze swept over them, finally landing on the area outside the city that was being drawn by an invisible force. He took a step forward, his figure transforming into a streak of light, heading towards the place where the Immortal Sect had descended.

In just a few steps, Ye Li appeared before the white-robed youth.

Deep within his soul, the Dragon Girl slightly concealed her aura, preventing the Perfected Innate Realm cultivator from detecting it, leaving only the two of them to converse. The young man's expression was as cold as ice.

But after sensing the intense gaze emanating from Ye Li as he approached...

His previous icy indifference melted away instantly, and he adopted a completely different attitude, saying:

"This must be Fellow Daoist Ye Li. I am Gu Feichi, a disciple of the Heavenly Illusion Immortal Sect. I have come here on the orders of the sect leader to recruit you to join my sect."

Seeing the faint wariness and xenophobia on Ye Li's face, the young man revealed a nonchalant smile:

"I am a hundred years older than you, fellow Daoist. You may simply call me Brother Gu. I came here in haste and can only offer my humble opinion on behalf of Fellow Daoist Ye." "Offend?" Ye Li's expression showed a hint of surprise.

"What are you venting your anger on?"

Gu Feichi wore a nonchalant smile, as if he were merely brushing off a few specks of dust from his clothes. He said in a casual tone, "Fellow Daoist Ye was besieged by a petty country before even making it onto the Heavenly Pride Ranking. This is a great disgrace. Our Heavenly Illusion Immortal Sect is extremely protective of its own. How could we tolerate such an offense?" He raised his hand slightly and casually pointed to the Li Kingdom, which had just been shrouded in red light but was now just a vast expanse of white.

"Those ignorant little countries dare to covet your honor, fellow Daoist, and even take action to harm you. Their rulers are incompetent and their people are foolish. Their very existence is a desecration of your glory and a provocation against the majesty of the Immortal Sect."

Gu Feichi's tone was completely calm, as if he were stating a trivial matter:

"Just now, I wiped it away as a way to vent your anger, fellow Daoist. It was just a small favor, fellow Daoist, you don't need to worry about it. Such a filthy place is an eyesore and pollutes the air of your hometown for no reason."

Every word he uttered was light and airy, as if he were merely talking about clearing away a pile of tangled garbage.

However, these words made Ye Li momentarily dazed.

Ye Li's calm expression froze slightly as his mind raced.

Wipe... wipe away?

He meant... erase!

Ye Li's mind involuntarily flashed the direction the other person was pointing to. Was it the Kingdom of Le?

How many people are inside?

Although the Kingdom of Li is a newly established nation, no matter how small the country is, it is still a place where life thrives!

Cities, villages, mountains, rivers... warriors, ordinary people, women and children, the old and young...

Tens of billions?

This enormous, suffocating number rose in Ye Li's mind, and he looked at the boy in front of him with slight surprise.
