With a single pull of his hand, Qian Renhan summoned the massive blood-red sword back toward him. Shrinking rapidly, the enormous blade condensed into a three-foot-long sword, arcing through the air into his grip. However, along its path stood a massive Heavenly Demon Phoenix—the very one who was none other than the Two-Star Dou Saint Elder, Fenghuang.

"Damn it!"

Huang Tian's eyes went mad with fury upon witnessing the deaths of so many of his clan members—especially the fall of their young clan leader. His sanity frayed, he beat his massive wings, sending his enormous body soaring hundreds of feet through the air. With his only remaining claw, he swatted the blood-red sword away just in time, saving Fenghuang's life.

Although it was a casual strike, its power far exceeded anything he had released before. Still, a deep bloody gash appeared on Huang Tian's claw. The wound, imbued with the enemy's energy, showed no signs of healing any time soon.

Fenghuang bowed respectfully. "Thank you, Clan Leader, for saving my life."

"What use is it now?"

The Sword Domain erupted again—more powerful than ever, its intensity increased tenfold. Where the blood-red sword aura swept through, every surviving expert of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan was instantly slain. Even Fenghuang, though she held on for a few breaths longer, ultimately perished.

Huang Tian fared no better. Countless blood-red longswords forged from sword intent pierced his majestic form, leaving it riddled with holes. His once-proud Phoenix Step, which conjured afterimages to confuse opponents, was effortlessly dismantled by the overwhelming assault.

From Five-Star Dou Saint onwards, each tier marked a whole new realm of power. A Five-Star Dou Saint could tear open space and launch attacks from thousands of miles away—one reason why the ancient eight clans forbade their Five-Star Dou Saints from meddling in worldly affairs. The Spirit Hall' master, Hun Miesheng, had only managed to slip through this restriction because he reached Five-Star Dou Saint while outside the clan's jurisdiction.

The jump from Five-Star to Nine-Star was an even greater chasm. Each level required monstrous amounts of energy to ascend. While those between One-Star and Four-Star might still manage to fight above their level, in the Five to Nine-Star range, such feats were impossible. Escaping even a one-star difference was unthinkable without a top-tier ninth-grade pill or mastery over spatial techniques.

Huang Tian, at the peak of Five-Star Dou Saint, stood powerless before Qian Renhan, who was already in the mid-stage of Six-Star Dou Saint. No matter how he resisted, he was nothing more than meat on a chopping block.

Pointing his sword at Huang Tian, Qian Renhan declared coldly, "You're the last one left, Huang Tian. Today will be marked as the darkest chapter in the history of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan."

"Hmph. Winners are kings; losers are nothing," Huang Tian sneered. "Had I known you possessed the Devourer Spirit Annihilation Array, I would have risked permanent injury and a drastically shortened life span to kill you before you could use it."

"But don't get cocky. You've massacred countless lives using that formation. The Dou Qi Continent will never tolerate your existence again. Even if I can't kill you, there are plenty of powerful individuals across the continent who can."

Despite facing certain death, Huang Tian laughed freely. His cold eyes held no trace of fear—only an eerie calm and defiance.

"You needn't trouble yourself further."

Within the Sword Domain, several massive blood-red swords, each forged from pure sword intent, closed in and sealed off all avenues of escape. In an instant, they pierced Huang Tian's body.

The clan leader of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, Huang Tian—had fallen.

After eliminating Huang Tian, Qian Renhan released Gu Xun'er and said, "Tell your father that beneath every major branch of the Spirit Hall lies a Devourer Spirit Annihilation Array."

"You soulless butcher," Gu Xun'er replied coldly. "Do you think I'll believe anything that comes out of your mouth? If you want to kill me, just get it over with!"

"Believe it or not."

With those final words, the space behind Gu Xun'er shattered. Qian Renhan grabbed her by the face and shoved her through the rift.

This passage led directly to the entrance of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe's estate. It was an ability granted to Qian Renhan upon reaching above Five-Star Dou Saint—he could now tear space open and travel directly to any marked location. Previously, he could only traverse the void to shorten distances, which had left him vulnerable to indiscriminate attacks from Huang Tian. But now, having surpassed that boundary, his mastery over space allowed true teleportation.

After dealing with Gu Xun'er, Qian Renhan gathered all the corpses of the fallen Heavenly Demon Phoenixes. He casually devoured a soul to extract key information and then tore space open once more—this time heading to the home of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan: Tianhuang Island.

Every clan that consistently produced Dou Saint-level powerhouses had long since carved out their own space to establish a world for their people. The Gu Clan had the Ancient Realm, the Soul Clan had the Soul Realm, and the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan had their Dragon Island.

Upon tearing through the spatial rift, Qian Renhan arrived above a vast ocean. The sea was a brilliant, pure blue, with gentle waves carrying faint traces of energy. Though subtle, the spiritual density here rivaled even that of the Starfall Pavilion.

At the center of this ocean stood a towering island that reached into the clouds—far taller than the Pill Tower in the Sacred Pill City. Viewed from below, the island resembled the iconic Yunyun Peak of the Yunlan Sect: conical and majestic, like a nail driven into the sky. But its scale was something else entirely—a difference of heaven and earth.

The island was covered in lush greenery and majestic peaks, spanning an area equivalent to a quarter of Central Plains. Heavenly Demon Phoenixes soared overhead, and the natural energy here was several times stronger than anywhere on the Central Plains.

Even Qian Renhan had to admit—Ancient Phoenix Island was the most breathtakingly beautiful paradise he had ever seen.

After pausing to admire the view for a moment, a surge of overwhelming Dou Qi erupted from Qian Renhan's body. Countless waves of sword intent tore through the void, targeting every Heavenly Demon Phoenix of Dou Sect level or higher within the clan. In an instant, the pure white clouds above Ancient Phoenix Island turned blood-red. What had been a paradise on earth was transformed into a hellish inferno, with the shrill cries of phoenixes echoing incessantly through the air.

The final elder of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, who possessed the strength of a Dou Saint and had remained on the island to guard it, was not spared either. Qian Renhan casually struck him down as easily as swatting a fly.

Once incomparably powerful—home to four Dou Saint elders, numerous Half-Saints, and hundreds upon hundreds of Dou Supremes—the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan lost nearly a third of its entire population to Qian Renhan's massacre.

As for the lower-tier Dou Sect-level members—the "little Kamis"—Qian Renhan chose not to kill them. This wasn't out of compassion—such a word did not exist in his vocabulary. Rather, it was because the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan served as food for Zi Yan. He needed to leave some ingredients behind as breeding stock to avoid collapsing the food chain entirely.

Having been slaughtered so thoroughly, the clan's chances of producing another Dou Saint-level powerhouse in the future were now slim to none. Without Dou Saints to maintain the realm barrier, this pocket dimension would soon collapse. The Heavenly Demon Phoenixes would lose their precious training environment, causing their potential to decline even further, thus entering a vicious cycle.

The Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan was now completely crippled. Even if they somehow experienced miraculous ancestral regression, it would only result in the birth of an Ancient Heavenly Phoenix—a being whose strength could at most rival the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, who happened to be their sworn enemy.

Qian Renhan gathered all the corpses of the fallen Heavenly Demon Phoenixes, stacking the thousands of bodies into a massive mound that reached nearly a kilometer high. Atop this towering mountain of corpses sat a giant cauldron filled with a thick, bluish-red blood that radiated an incredibly violent energy fluctuation. This blood was the essence of Huang Tian.

Naked, Qian Renhan sat within the cauldron, letting the blood completely submerge his body. Consuming the seventh-tier Heavenly Demon Phoenix blood earlier had indeed enhanced his physical strength, but this time he was absorbing the essence blood of a peak Five-Star Dou Saint.

To elevate one's strength, it wasn't enough to simply raise cultivation level; a strong physical constitution, durable meridians, and powerful soul force were equally crucial. Thus, Qian Renhan used Huang Tian's essence blood to refine his body, while also devouring Huang Tian's soul, which had reached the late stage of the Heavenly Realm. Under the immense force of that soul, Qian Renhan's own soul strength was steadily approaching the peak of the Heavenly Realm.

Qian Renhan was certain: once he had fully consumed the remains of every Heavenly Demon Phoenix he had slain, his cultivation, soul power, and physical prowess would undergo another massive leap.
