Chapter 10: Does That Make You Happy?

Holy shit!

Taking someone's supreme-grade spirit vein right in front of their face—that's killing the body and crushing the soul!

But… since she's got a grudge with Xue Weiyang, and it's for the sect's sake, then there's no need to leave the Heaven-Burning Holy Land standing.

Convenient timing, too—Lingxiao Sect needs to establish its prestige, make a name across the eight hundred provinces, and attract prodigies.

"Stall them? No need for that. This seat will just wipe out the Heaven-Burning Holy Land directly!"

What?

Directly wipe out the Heaven-Burning Holy Land?

Is the Sect Master going to call Elder Wen and Elder Li over?

Despite the shock filling her heart, Xue Weiyang didn't hesitate much—she put on the posture of someone about to leave.

"Hey? Where are you going?"

Su Kuang was completely baffled. No—my soul can only hold out for a quarter-hour, why are you leaving?

"Naturally, to wait for Elder Wen and the others to arrive. Isn't the Sect Master going to help Weiyang destroy the Heaven-Burning Holy Land?"

Xue Weiyang was a bit confused too, not knowing what the Sect Master was planning.

"Weiyang, you might have some misunderstanding about the Sect Master's strength!"

"A power that only has a Peak Great Emperor holding it down—there's no need for my Lingxiao Sect to make such a big fuss!"

As soon as the words fell, a palm ten thousand meters wide descended from beyond the sky, slamming toward the Heaven-Burning Holy Land.

"Who dares—pff—"

The two quasi-emperor experts of the Heaven-Burning Holy Land had just appeared when they were blasted away by the shockwave of law, their bodies smashing toward the ground.

The other elders, not even bothering to save them, hurriedly activated the sect-protecting formation.

At that moment, the Heaven-Burning Great Emperor appeared, holding aloft a giant cauldron wreathed in purple flames.

"Who comes to make trouble in my Heaven-Burning Holy Land?"

"It's an Ultimate Emperor Weapon…"

Xue Weiyang clenched her fists, about to block it for Su Kuang, but the next moment, she was completely stunned.

She saw the Heaven-Burning Great Emperor, holding an Ultimate Emperor Weapon and striking with full power, still suppressed by a single palm from Su Kuang!

At this moment, the elders and disciples of the Heaven-Burning Holy Land:

"Look! The Ancestor has come out of seclusion!"

One breath later.

"It's over—the Ancestor got slapped down with one palm!"

"This…"

Xue Weiyang pointed at the Heaven-Burning Holy Land, then pointed at herself, so excited she was almost incoherent.

A Peak Great Emperor wielding an Ultimate Emperor Weapon—without a life-or-death grudge, who'd want to go provoke that?

Yet such an existence was suppressed by a single thought from the Sect Master?

Could Lingxiao Sect's history trace back even further than the ancient era?

"Break!"

Before the Heaven-Burning Great Emperor could recover from the dust and smoke, the sect-protecting formation was pierced by another finger from Su Kuang.

Immediately after, Su Kuang wiped out the Heaven-Burning Holy Land's elders and supreme elders at the Sage realm and above, one by one.

The Heaven-Burning Great Emperor tried to flee into his own small world, only to find he'd lost all sense of it.

"No… just in a soul state, and you already have the strength of an Invincible One—who exactly are you?"

The Heaven-Burning Great Emperor's face was full of shock. Invincible One—that was the title for a half-step God, something only powers that maintained contact with the Upper Realm had in the past.

But now, powers with an Invincible One holding them down numbered no more than five!

The Heaven-Burning Great Emperor couldn't figure out where exactly he'd offended such an existence.

And… even against an Invincible One, with an Ultimate Emperor Weapon he should at least be able to exchange a few moves—not be completely helpless, right?

If Su Kuang's true body descended, would this world… really still have any rivals?

"Noisy!"

Su Kuang didn't bother with the Heaven-Burning Great Emperor. He directly crippled his cultivation and pushed his spatial ring into Xue Weiyang's hands.

The Heaven-Burning Great Emperor, who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, instantly became a white-haired old man after losing his cultivation—as if a single gust of wind could blow him over.

Even his soul was torn. Now, probably even a Sage King realm cultivator could kill the current Heaven-Burning Great Emperor.

"Weiyang, since he's your enemy, then take your revenge personally!"

"And slaughter everyone else in the Heaven-Burning Holy Land too. Remember to bring back the natural treasures and other good stuff!"

"Remember! You're one of my Lingxiao Sect. My Lingxiao Sect never lets revenge wait overnight!"

"If there are more enemies, just come back to the sect and call for backup to kill them…"

After those last words, Su Kuang's soul dissipated.

If not for needing to bring back the supreme-grade spirit vein and not wasting cultivation resources, Su Kuang would have smashed the Heaven-Burning Holy Land to pieces with a single palm long ago!

"Thank you, Sect Master…"

Xue Weiyang's nose twitched. Su Kuang had given her so much—how could she ever repay this kindness?

But moved as she was, she didn't forget Su Kuang's instructions.

With a raise of her hand, she constructed a barrier, ensuring no one in the Heaven-Burning Holy Land could escape.

That done, Xue Weiyang stepped through the void, lotus steps carrying her forward one step at a time.

As Xue Weiyang's figure gradually became clear, snowflakes began to fall one after another.

At first glance, the snowflakes looked beautiful. At second glance, they were all corpses.

Under the rampage of the ice law, the nearly three hundred thousand cultivators of the Heaven-Burning Holy Land were like lambs waiting for slaughter.

Flee…? Their speed couldn't even outrun the spreading snowflakes.

As for resisting—before they could even get close, they were frozen into ice sculptures, their lives stripped away. They couldn't fight back at all.

Sensing such a familiar law, the Heaven-Burning Great Emperor struggled to raise his head.

When he saw Xue Weiyang's face clearly, he was terrified as if he'd seen a ghost.

"You… you're the Ice Emperor Xue Weiyang—impossible! My big brother clearly died together with you!"

Xue Weiyang snorted coldly, having no intention of paying the Heaven-Burning Great Emperor any mind.

Anyway, under the shroud of the ice law, those ants of the Heaven-Burning Holy Land who hadn't even reached the Sage realm could only slowly walk toward death in fear.

As for the Heaven-Burning Great Emperor, Xue Weiyang crushed every single bone in his body, then let him drag out his dying existence.

She tormented him for a full hour before finally killing the Heaven-Burning Great Emperor, destroying both body and soul.

Thus, the entire Heaven-Burning Holy Land was slaughtered clean—not a single survivor remained.

Xue Weiyang looted all the natural treasures, spirit stones, and artifacts of the Heaven-Burning Holy Land, even taking the Heaven-Burning Great Emperor's Ultimate Emperor Weapon: the Heaven-Burning Purple Flame Cauldron.

That done, Xue Weiyang finally looked up at the void.

"Everyone… seen enough?"

As her words fell.

A dozen or so powerful auras slowly revealed themselves—every one of them at Peak Great Emperor cultivation.

"Congratulations to the Ice Fairy on reforming your physical body. We are merely spectators, with no ill intent!"

"Same here!"

Xue Weiyang narrowed her eyes slightly. She recognized most of them, but it was obvious they had all come because of the Sect Master.

"From today onward, there is no more Ice Emperor Xue Weiyang—only Lingxiao Sect Elder Xue Weiyang!"

"If you gentlemen have no business, please don't block the road!"

As she spoke.

Xue Weiyang had already activated her law power, trapping the Heaven-Burning Holy Land's supreme-grade spirit vein in her palm.

"This…"

The dozen or so Peak Great Emperors exchanged glances, then finally sighed softly and silently shut their mouths.

Xue Weiyang's expression was blank as she tore through the void, heading straight for Xuan Province.

"Even someone like the Ice Fairy is willing to submit—just what is the background of this Lingxiao Sect?"

"Yesterday, the Xuantian Holy Land of Xuan Province declared itself a vassal of Lingxiao Sect. Looks like this Lingxiao Sect must be an ancient sect with a long heritage!"

Xuan Province's Xuantian Holy Land?

If not for Lingxiao Sect, they wouldn't even know such a place existed.

Not even a Great Emperor—not worth their attention at all!

But a single soul with the strength of an Invincible One—not a single Great Emperor present dared underestimate this Lingxiao Sect.

If they could forge a connection, all the better!
