Chapter 3609: The Curtain Falls

As an awakened individual, Li Yang was well aware of Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan's formidable power. Had he known that his opponents were also two awakened individuals, he would never have dared to attack.

He had just flown out 100,000 li when a spatial force materialized out of nowhere, trapping him in the void.

A celestial melody resounded, and a colossal palm, covered in arcane musical notes, shot straight at him.

Li Yang attempted to cast a spell in defense, but the spatial force held him captive, rendering him completely immobile.

A golden scimitar gleamed with blinding golden light, tearing through the void as it moved to intercept and block the colossal palm.

Then, a giant blue axe descended from the heavens, ripping open the void.

Li Yang let out a desperate cry as the blue axe cleaved his entire body in two. A miniature Nascent Soul barely left his form before it was ensnared by a large expanse of fine golden light, then dragged into Wang Chan's mouth and swallowed.

The golden scimitar's spiritual glow faded, and it plummeted from the sky.

Gu Qing was overcome with grief upon witnessing this scene.

A vast expanse of blue seawater surged forward with tremendous force.

Gu Qing promptly waved the green plantain fan in her hand, unleashing a large expanse of green flames to counter the surge.

With a thunderous roar, the green flames were pulverized by the surging blue seawater. The water then reached Gu Qing, violently churning and forming a colossal, 100,000-zhang-tall wave that crashed towards her.

Gu Qing formed a hand seal, causing the twelve small red mirrors above her head to emit blinding red light. Each mirror then shot out a red mist, enveloping the colossal wave.

In a single clash, the red mist was torn to shreds, and the colossal wave effortlessly shattered Gu Qing's protective spiritual light, completely engulfing her body.

A spiritual light emerged from the void 10,000 li away, revealing Gu Qing's figure. The moment she materialized, a powerful spatial force trapped her in the void.

A colossal palm, covered in arcane musical notes, shot towards her, appearing before her in an instant. Gu Qing had no way to evade. A purple shield flew out from her sleeve, but it was merely a top-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure. The spatial force also immobilized the purple shield, rendering it useless as a defense.

The colossal palm struck Gu Qing's protective spiritual light, which shattered instantly.

Gu Qing was struck by the colossal palm, sending her body flying backward. Her eyes bulged, and her internal organs and meridians were completely shattered. Her Nascent Soul flew from her body, only to be devoured by Wang Chan.

From the breaking of the formation and Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan's elimination of Guan Yunxiao and his two companions, less than ten breaths had passed. Their speed was beyond the imagination of all Mahayana cultivators.

Fu Heng was engaged in a fierce battle, using his spiritual domain against Ye Xuanji, Fairy Furong, and Shi Yan. When he witnessed Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan so swiftly dispatch the Ancient Li clan's Mahayana cultivators, he was utterly terrified.

He had never imagined that Ye Xuanji could enlist two awakened individuals! After dispatching Gu Qing, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan shifted their focus to Fu Heng.

Following the principle of "catch the leader first," resolving Fu Heng would render the remaining Mahayana cultivators negligible.

Pink petals rained down from the sky, heading directly for Fu Heng.

Fu Heng formed a hand seal, and the purple poisonous mist surrounding him churned violently, blocking the pink petals.

A gigantic yellow fire dragon lunged forward. The purple poisonous mist around Fu Heng surged and boiled, and over a dozen purple true dragons, materialized by magic power, flew out from it.

The yellow fire dragon defeated over a dozen purple true dragons. As the former was unleashed by a Profound Heaven Treasure, its power was immense.

A purple light glowed above Shi Yan's head, revealing a shimmering purple gourd. The gourd's surface bore a poisonous scorpion pattern, and its spiritual energy was astonishing.

It was the Purple Scorpion Gourd, a remnant Profound Heaven Treasure used for trapping enemies.

The Purple Scorpion Gourd emitted a dazzling spiritual light, its size rapidly expanded, and it spat out a stream of purple mist, enveloping Shi Yan.

As Shi Yan prepared to evade, the purple scorpion on the gourd's surface let out a cacophonous hiss. He felt an unbearable pain, as if someone were cleaving at his divine soul with a sharp weapon.

By the time he regained his senses, he was already ensnared by the purple mist, swept into the Purple Scorpion Gourd, and vanished.

As Fu Heng prepared to unleash other divine abilities, a turbulent blue river surged forward, closely followed by a colossal palm covered in arcane musical notes.

He slammed his right hand towards the void, and a colossal purple fist shadow flashed forth, shattering the blue river and sending dust billowing.

A golden light flashed, and a shimmering golden orb materialized out of nowhere, radiating dazzling golden light. Fu Heng's heart sank, feeling a sudden dizzying sensation. He found himself in a secluded forest, alive with the sounds of birds and the fragrance of flowers.

"An illusion-type remnant Profound Heaven Treasure!" he realized.

Fu Heng frowned deeply. He knew Ye Xuanji possessed such a treasure, but he had no means of defense, as treasures or secret talismans that countered illusions were exceedingly rare.

Any such treasures he once possessed had been seized when their previous masters were killed.

As the golden light dissipated, Fu Heng's gaze became vacant. The colossal palm struck his protective spiritual light, which shattered instantly.

Struck by the colossal palm, Fu Heng was sent flying backward, spitting out a large mouthful of blood. His body transformed into a shimmering Five-Profound Stone, and his Red Domain shattered.

A dazzling purple light flared in the void 10,000 li away, revealing Fu Heng's figure.

"You have indeed awakened," Fu Heng stated gravely. His expression was grave. Facing three awakened Mahayana cultivators at the mid-stage, he was utterly outmatched.

While a perfected spiritual domain was formidable, he was not facing ordinary mid-stage Mahayana cultivators.

The moment Fu Heng reappeared, a giant blue axe descended from the sky, cleaving towards him. Simultaneously, a vast expanse of blue seawater surged forward, accompanied by the roar of crashing waves.

Fu Heng was aghast and attempted to evade, but a powerful spatial force materialized out of nowhere, trapping him.

His face paled dramatically as purple light flared from his body, and green smoke rose from the void, which began to crack extensively. However, it was futile; he could not break free from the spatial divine ability.

The blue axe effortlessly cleaved through Fu Heng's protective spiritual light, splitting his entire body in two. The moment a miniature Nascent Soul emerged, a golden talisman descended from the sky, adhering to it, causing the miniature Nascent Soul's expression to immediately wither.

Ye Xuanji beckoned with one hand, and the miniature Nascent Soul flew towards her, landing in her palm.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, Madam Wang," Ye Xuanji exclaimed, "just three days apart, and you truly inspire awe!" Had Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan not awakened, the enemies would not have been dealt with so swiftly, and a fierce battle would have ensued.

"Fairy Ye, you flatter us," Wang Changsheng said solemnly. "Let's deal with the other enemies first! They likely have contingency plans."

With Fu Heng dead, Hao Jia and the others were no match. With Wang Huanyu secretly assisting, the enemies had no chance of escape.

In less than a quarter of an hour, they had completely eliminated all enemies.

The Yinmei clan did indeed have a contingency: the Myriad Poisons Immortal Eradication Formation. Once activated, it would have reduced the entire Yinmei Mountain Range to ruins. However, they never had the chance to deploy it. Fu Heng held the formation plate, intending to activate it only if the battle turned unfavorable, to perish alongside his enemies. Yet, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan proved too powerful, and he was slain before he could initiate the formation.

This battle secured Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan's reputation, earning them the deep respect of Mahayana cultivators like Ye Xuanji.
