Void Dragon Sect

Deus naturally didn't have such a powerful talent either.

"[Immortal-Devouring Demon Art] can swallow the Origin of Immortals, and even their Primordial Spirits, so it must be very beneficial to this [Innate God's Spirit Temple], and might even enhance it's effects to another level…"

"It's quite expensive, however. I can get some Holy Ranked Techniques for this amount…"

"A thousand Choas Points! Still, it won't be a loss, if I must say!"

Deus didn't feel distressed over the price after thinking about the potential gains. Without hesitation, he exchanged a thousand Choas Points for the [Innate God's Spirit Temple].

A breath of fresh air rejuvenated Deus's spirits.

[Rumble!]

Deus heard a terrifying rumble in the depths of his Sea of Consciousness. Even the air around him moved chaotically, as if responding to the changes happening in his body.

Inside his Sea of Consciousness, Deus could hear various supreme Taoist chants as various golden lotuses bloomed, surrounded by mysterious ruins and inexplicable Immortal Qi. It was as if a world was opening up in his Sea of Consciousness.

Soon, a magnificent and awe-inspiring structure dark structure rose from below in his Sea of Consciousness. It was a pitch-black, cold temple that stood untouched by anything around it. Inside the temple sat an ancient-looking evil silhouette with an indifferent and profound expression. A terrifying spirit energy rumbled around it as he seemed to be overlooking everything that existed under the Heavens.

"So this is the [Innate God's Spirit Temple]! The power of my soul has increased by a hundredfold already…"

Deus couldn't help but chuckle.

Becoming stronger and having everything under control brought along a wonderful feeling. No wonder there were countless people pursuing supreme powers in this world, and those other worlds of fiction.

It was a fascinating feeling, after all.

...

Another three days passed in the blink of an eye.

[A few thousand miles away from the Ethereal Phoenix Sect.]

[Hum!]

Streams of rainbows appeared in the sky as many mighty figures joined each other from different directions.

Some were traveling on flying boats, others were riding atop fierce beasts, and some flew without any support…the only thing common among them, though, was the fact that they all radiated fierce and extremely powerful auras.

A lot of powerful forces from all over the Thousand Mountains were heading towards the Ethereal Phoenix Sect at their maximum speed. There were other Sacred Lands that had millenniums of heritage, Cultivation Dynasties, Ancient Families, Sects, etc. All of them lorded over massive swats of land in the Thousand Mountains.

Could the news be wrong?"

An old man resting atop a mountain peak asked. He wore spotless white robes that fluttered in the wind, his lustrous skin reflected the sunlight, and he looked like an immortal as he focused his detached gaze towards the Ethereal Phoenix Sect that stood in the distance.

The Ethereal Phoenix Sect spanned across endless stretches of mountains, with its many divine islands floating in the air. One could see a spiritual mist shrouding the Ethereal Phoenix Sect's premises as the visions of auspicious beasts soaring in the air and diving towards the earth inspired awe in the hearts of the onlookers.

Behind the visions and veils of mist stood a land of pure holiness.

The old man's burning eyes had long turned green with greed as he watched the Ethereal Phoenix Sect with the eyes of a wolf staring at his prey.

If his Void Dragon Sect could swallow the Ethereal Phoenix Sect, then they would definitely be crowned the strongest force in all of the Thousand Mountains!

"Reporting to the Supreme Elder! The news is indeed correct!"

"When the Ethereal Phoenix Sect held the ceremony to coronate their new Direct Disciple, one of our spies sneaked to the place where the Supreme Elder of the Ethereal Phoenix Sect secluded himself, and the spy found that the Ethereal Phoenix Sect Supreme Elder's breath had disappeared from that place…"

"We suspect that he has already died in the midst of his seclusion…"

An Elder of the Void Dragon Sect standing behind the white-robed Supreme Elder respectfully reported.

"Good, good, good! I have brought along all the old monsters today, so we can use this opportunity to obliterate the Ethereal Phoenix Sect while we are here."

The white-robed old man stroked his beard with a smile. Joy filled his heart as he imagined the future.

The Ethereal Phoenix Sect, with a millenniums-old deep heritage, will soon be exterminated from the Thousand Mountains for good.

"However, Supreme Elder, we have received reports that the Ethereal Phoenix Sect recently got close to some mysterious youth. That unknown youth seems to have quite a terrifying background from what I have heard…"

At this time, another Elder stepped forward and informed the Void Dragon Supreme Elder.

"I already know about that matter…he's just a young man, what great background could he have? No matter how mighty his background is, he won't be able to change today's outcome. You do know that we aren't the only ones keeping an eye on the Ethereal Phoenix Sect, right…"

"What's more? I heard that the kid my granddaughter's so infatuated with is also imprisoned by the Ethereal Phoenix Sect in their dungeon…"

"These Ethereal Phoenix Sect bastards are truly blind to not see such a talented youth right under their noses…"

The white-robed old man smiled with a deep look in his eyes.

Sect Leader, something big is happening! Many major forces are gathering a few thousand miles away from our Sacred Land. There's the Void Dragon Sect, the Great Sun Dynasty, the Ancient Moon Family, and many more big shots…"

"What are they up to? Are they here to attack us?"

Right now, the Ethereal Phoenix Sect Leader was discussing some matter with a group of her Elders in the Sect Leader's Hall of the Ethereal Phoenix Sect, when a breathless disciple ran in to make a report.

The disciple's complexion had paled, after all, this was no small matter.

Many major forces had gathered at their doorstep, and they could feel terrifying fluctuations of energy not too far from their Sect. From the way those forces flaunted their might, it was clear that they had all gathered to attack their Ethereal Phoenix Sect!

Even though the Ethereal Phoenix Sect claimed to be the strongest in the Thousand Mountains on usual days, even they couldn't help but tremble if so many behemoths turned their spearheads towards them.

However, the disciple couldn't help contain his shock after he made his report. Be it the Sect Leader or the Elders, none of them showed any panic or change in their expressions even after listening to his words.

All of them looked calm as if nothing big had happened!

"That's it? You are panicking over something this minor? Is this how a disciple of the Ethereal Phoenix Sect is supposed to behave?"

Contrary to his expectations, an Elder actually frowned and scolded him for his cowardice. It was clear that none of the people in front of him cared about the joint attack of all those major forces.
