This Earth Is A Bit Fearsome

Many guests of the Jiang Clan saw Liu Haotian’s changes and knew what that meant; the boy was gradually changing into something else.

That was a process that many among the crowd had been through personally.

Every cultivator had undergone this process. Even those of esteemed lineages or heritages that had been practically treated as gods had to go through something like that.

Liu Haotian was currently undergoing a process of such metamorphosis. Those who were half a step into Divine Transformation Realm became his stepping stones in facilitating such growth. This was something that many would see to be quite a splurge.

Many people within the crowd were at such a level themselves. As such, they knew very well that fostering one such fighter, even if they had yet to reach Divine Transformation Realm, required hefty amounts of resources.

Many lone cultivators saw the cost to get someone to the Divine Transformation Realm as nothing short of astronomical.

At that moment, Liu Haotian was going about thrusting his sword into every single person, with every thrust signifying massive loss.

On the other side, Lu Xuan had been casually going on a killing spree.

After killing several elders, he came right before the great elder of the Jiang family.

By then, he was literally covered in blood. He looked hardly different from Liu Haotian at the moment. He had completely lost the mystical, clean appearance that he had at the very beginning.

However, the look on his face never changed. Only the murderous intent in his eyes became more intense.

“I don’t care who you are! Today, you’ll pay for killing so many people of the Jian family!”

The great elder of the Jiang Clan was incredibly furious. His silver hair billowed everywhere, making him look like some kind of god himself.

Lu Xuan did little more than throwing a punch at the shouting old man, reducing over a dozen fighters who were half a step into the Divine Transformation Realm standing in front of him into a mist of blood spraying everywhere. Despite having erected their so-called killing formation that shrouded the entire sky, they were unable to do anything against Lu Xuan.

At that moment, the great elder of the Jiang Clan made his move. He burst with a frightening glow all over him, spreading his light everywhere. He looked as if he was about to burn the entire place to a crisp.

Boundless flames coalesced into a flaming giant, standing tall and proud in the sky.

The Jiang family had never faced such vast losses before. The great elder had now used all of his strength.

He was already extremely furious after Lu Xuan went on his killing spree before. It was not that he didn’t want to immediately make a move. He was slowly returning to his pinnacle state.

He was so old that he had to seal parts of his body’s functions just to live at least a little longer.

He simply couldn’t unleash his true power on such short notice.

It was only then that he was truly able to unleash the pinnacle of his true might: the seventh tier of the Divine Transformation Realm.

As far as raw power went, that great elder was actually 30 percent more powerful than Jiang Tiansheng, the head of the family whom Lu Xuan killed before.

The elder had gotten too old to maintain such combat prowess all the time. Every time he made a move, he would have to expend a great deal of lifeforce and lifespan, which he had little to spare.

However, given the circumstances at that moment, he had no choice but to act.

“Die!”

The great elder of the clan made his move, clapping down with a single hand and conjuring a massive flaming hand destroying everything in its path.

“I don’t need more than a single move to kill you.”

Lu Xuan shouted and activated the White Sun Soaring Sutra, causing his powers to continue until it reached the seventh tier of the Divine Transformation Realm within the blink of an eye.

Pfftt!

That massive flaming hand was torn apart by the flash of his sword. Lu Xuan made his move holding the Geng Metal Sword, swinging the blade down onto that massive flaming hand and tearing it apart right away.

The sword then came down on that great elder right away.

Pfftt!

The great elder’s eyes were wide open as his body was cleaved, causing blood to spray all over the place.

The great elder probably never expected himself to be so utterly helpless against Lu Xuan.

Despite having brought his greatest power to the forefront, he actually wasn’t able to withstand even a single hit from Lu Xuan, who had gotten to the seventh tier of the Divine Transformation Realm by using the White Sun Soaring Sutra.

Such a feat in itself was utterly terrifying.

There was only silence after that. Everyone kept their mouths shut, looking as if they had just seen a ghost.

The way they saw it, Lu Xuan, who was still holding his sword, still looked like something that crawled out of hell, despite having deactivated the White Sun Soaring Sutra’s effects.

All the remaining members of the Jiang family suffered a psychological breakdown. Even though Lu Xuan was an archenemy of their clan, the fearsome might that Lu Xuan commanded meant that they couldn’t even begin to take their revenge before they were killed.

Everyone around was completely silent.

“This… this is impossible…”

Many among the crowd were unable to accept the fact that something so harrowing had just happened.

“What the hell is wrong with him? How could he be so powerful?”

“Chaos, chaos is upon us all!”

“The Jiang Clan would probably be eradicated right where they stood.”

“I remember that the man said that he was here to cut something down. Despite the clan having so many formidable fighters and of such depth, he actually managed to mow them down just like grass!”

That fact alone was enough to shake anyone to their core.

Lu Xuan had resisted the might of a lesser clan all on his own. More importantly, many people still didn’t know just how capable he was, or that he even has powers at all.

“Then again, the Jiang family still has a trump card.”

Some recalled that the Jiang family was still able to fight back as they were. Despite being the birthday of the family’s Great Ancestor, he still had yet to show up.

That Great Ancestor was so powerful that all who were present have heard of it. That Great Ancestor had become the overlord of the entire region at a young age. Otherwise, not many people would’ve come to celebrate his birthday.

Boom!

Everyone sensed a terrifying aura raging about all of a sudden, spreading all over the place from within the ancestral residence of the clan.

Everyone then saw two figures flying out from the divine mountain.

The one who was taking the lead wore armor and looked like he was in his middle ages. His aura was terrifying and boiling to the brim.

The man behind him wore a Taoist robe and rode on a sword that was approaching the crowd.

Many people couldn’t immediately recognize the two, but it didn’t take long for them to identify the middle-aged man in armor as the Great Ancestor of the Jiang family.

Hiss!

Many gasped right away. They knew that the Great Ancestor was actually far older than the great elder of the clan whom Lu Xuan just killed. In comparison, that great elder had only just made it into old age.

On the other hand, the great ancestor was probably approaching a near-death state. He was only able to make an announcement of him still being alive by making an appearance during his birthdays.

That was all there was to it.

However, having made an appearance looking like a middle-aged man and brimming with life, he looked like anything but someone who was about to die. That could’ve been because he had broken through the Divine Transformation Realm, just like how it had been with the sacred ancestor all those years ago.

Another possibility was that he had actually burned away all of his lifeforce during that period, returning to his peak just to fight his last.
