Chapter 26
Your Ancestor Will Never Return
Western Region, Human Puppet Ghost Cave
On a cliff face, a palace constructed entirely from various body parts, its exterior resembling a gruesome ghostly skull, stood perched precariously.
Countless cave openings riddled the surrounding cliffs, each serving as the dwelling of a Human Puppet Ghost Cave cultivator.
These densely packed caves covered the entire cliff face, with numerous cultivators flying back and forth between them.
Under the silent night sky, the bright moon hung high, shrouded by dark clouds.
Ning Yechen’s figure appeared silently above the Human Puppet Ghost Cave. He looked down upon this prominent sect built on the cliff and murmured softly:
“Let’s start here…”
He had his principles.
If anyone dared to harm his loved ones, he would show no mercy!
Since they had injured his wife and tried to harm his child, it was time for the Four Great Sects of the world to disappear!
Although he could leave this task to the Chaos Bull Demon and the others, who were capable enough to destroy these sects, their efficiency would be too low.
Therefore, Ning Yechen decided to handle it personally, quickly and efficiently!
He still had other places to be.
Ning Yechen raised his arm high, and a small flame instantly appeared in his palm.
The flame rapidly expanded, and in the blink of an eye, a gigantic fireball, with a diameter of several dozen zhang, materialized in his hand!
The fireball blazed like a scorching sun, distorting the surrounding space. Flames, like fiery dragons, danced on its surface.
Its brilliant light illuminated the entire night sky!
The temperature around the Human Puppet Ghost Cave suddenly soared. The cultivators within, sensing the anomaly, emerged from their caves and looked up at the night sky in astonishment.
“What, what’s happening?”
“Is it dawn already?”
“I just closed my eyes for a moment.”
“Why is the sun so close today…?”
“Wait…! Look, there’s a person!”
“That, that’s someone using a heavenly technique!”
The cultivators of the Human Puppet Ghost Cave, upon discovering Ning Yechen’s figure, turned deathly pale with fear.
Someone could actually wield such a terrifying heavenly technique!
If that fireball in his hand were to fall, the entire Human Puppet Ghost Cave would be annihilated!
Several figures swiftly emerged from the main hall of the cave and rushed towards Ning Yechen.
“May we ask who you are, senior?”
“Why have you come to our Human Puppet Ghost Cave at this late hour?”
“Senior, let’s talk things over. Could you please withdraw your heavenly technique first?”
Several elders of the Human Puppet Ghost Cave approached Ning Yechen, speaking respectfully.
As they got closer, they truly felt the terrifying power of the fireball in his hand.
The scorching heat and pressure almost suffocated them, their bodies drenched in sweat, and even their skin began to melt!
The most terrifying thing was that the fireball was still expanding!
“Senior, has our Human Puppet Ghost Cave offended you in any way…?”
“We beg your pardon. When our ancestor returns, he will personally apologize to you!”
Gui Jue, the Grand Elder of the Human Puppet Ghost Cave, said respectfully, cupping his hands.
He thought that they had to stall for time until their ancestor returned!
Otherwise, this fireball was powerful enough to wipe out the entire Human Puppet Ghost Cave!
Ning Yechen glanced at them with disdain and, deciding to let them die knowing why, said indifferently:
“Your ancestor will never return.”
“And your Human Puppet Ghost Cave, from this day forward, will cease to exist.”
“W-What?!”
Gui Jue and the others were shocked.
Their ancestor, Gui Fu, had been killed?!
And this person before them was actually planning to annihilate their entire Human Puppet Ghost Cave!
“Attack! Stop him!”
Gui Jue roared.
Several elders simultaneously unleashed their Natal Artifacts, attacking Ning Yechen.
Ning Yechen remained unfazed. With one hand holding the fireball high and the other behind his back, he stood firm. Several fire dragons suddenly emerged from the fireball and charged towards them!
“Aaaargh!”
In an instant, the elders, along with their Natal Artifacts, were engulfed and devoured by the fire dragons, unable to resist!
With a series of screams, the elders of this prominent sect were all reduced to ashes!
The disciples below were stunned and dumbfounded, unable to believe what they were witnessing.
They belonged to one of the top sects in the world, each elder possessing Heavenly God Realm cultivation, yet they were killed without any chance to fight back?!
Those who reacted first immediately fled in panic.
Ning Yechen casually tossed the fireball downwards. The gigantic fireball instantly enveloped the entire Human Puppet Ghost Cave, leaving no room for escape!
Before the fireball even landed, the terrifying heatwave had already incinerated countless people!
“Boom!”
When the fireball finally crashed down, the Human Puppet Ghost Cave instantly melted away, along with everything within a hundred zhang radius.
All that remained was a bottomless abyss!
Heat rose from the giant crater, the scorching residual energy deterring any living creature from approaching!
Thus, the Human Puppet Ghost Cave vanished from the world.
At the same time, the Scholarly Palace in the Eastern Continent was razed to the ground by countless heavenly lightning strikes…
The Green Peak Sword Sect in the Central Continent was annihilated with a single sword strike, leaving only a hundred-zhang long chasm in its wake…
The War God Hall in the Southern Continent met the same fate, crushed completely under a colossal mountain, its original location replaced by a towering peak…
Overnight, the Four Great Sects of the world were utterly destroyed!
The three soul avatars flew back to Ning Yechen from various locations and reintegrated into his body.
Just then, dozens of heavenly lightning bolts struck Ning Yechen from the night sky without warning!
Each bolt possessed the might to tear apart the void!
This was the restraining punishment of the Mortal Realm’s laws, or rather, the balance of the Heavenly Dao.
In the Mortal Realm, cultivation was limited to the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Even those from the other six realms had to suppress their cultivation when entering the Mortal Realm.
If anyone used power exceeding the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, the Heavenly Dao would send down heavenly lightning to eliminate them!
Ning Yechen’s actions had far surpassed the limitations of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and the Heavenly Dao, sensing this, descended with its obliterating power.
However, this had one absolute prerequisite: the Heavenly Dao’s power had to be greater than that of the individual…
If someone’s cultivation and strength were not bound by the Heavenly Dao’s power, then this law of balance would have no effect on them…
Just like with Ning Yechen…
Facing the dozens of descending lightning bolts, Ning Yechen was already accustomed to it.
Almost every time he took action, the Heavenly Dao would give him a “massage” with lightning; it was practically routine…
A black spiritual energy shield automatically enveloped Ning Yechen’s body. The dozens of lightning bolts struck the shield, but they couldn’t even break through it.
Only after the lightning subsided did Ning Yechen leisurely withdraw the shield.
Perhaps because he had simultaneously manifested soul avatars and used four heavenly techniques, he could feel that this time, the heavenly lightning was much more powerful than before.
But it was still lacking…
Having dealt with the Four Great Sects, Ning Yechen looked up at the sky and once again transformed into a divine rainbow, soaring into the clouds.
It was about time to return to the Heavenly Realm!
