When the news from the Hundred Thousand Mountains spread, the entire Eastern Domain was in an uproar.

Everyone was shocked by this battle.

Shi Tianfeng had fallen.

Su Muzhe and Gongyang Yu were defeated.

Five of the Strongest Celestial Saints died tragically on the spot.

When everyone learned of all this, they were all astonished. Lei Ming’s strength was too formidable, going beyond everyone’s imagination, as even twelve Strongest Celestial Saints together could not defeat him.

But who could have thought that this seemingly doomed battle was turned around by Ye Qingchen, who even went as far as to eradicate Lei Ming, saving the entire Eastern Domain single-handedly.

On this day, the entire Eastern Domain remembered one name deeply:

Ye Qingchen!

This young man rose from obscurity, gaining fame with one battle in Xingyue City on the Tongxuan Continent. Every event that followed was earth-shattering.

He ventured into Nine Dragon Mountain, fought in Black Abyss City, killed the Mo Luo Celestial Saint, trampled the Spirit Coffin Sect, battled the Celestial God Sect.

Now.

He had even slain Lei Ming!

“Truly unmatched by any other!”

Cyan Continent, Celestial Peak Country.

Chu Yao stood with her hands behind her back, her gaze distant and far-reaching, as though lost in thought.

“He really won!”

An Mengxiang’s expression was complicated.

“Since you like him, why don’t you express your feelings to him?” a close friend advised from the side.

However.

The response was An Mengxiang’s silent shake of her head.

She knew that missing a chance once meant missing it for a lifetime. She and Ye Qingchen would only drift further apart, and now they were people from two different worlds. Moreover, she knew she was not worthy of him!

Tongxuan Continent.

Within the Spirit Coffin Sect.

Luo Huan was both surprised and delighted upon hearing the news, like a young girl, but then she gazed deeply into a pool of spring water in silence.

The elder behind her merely shook his head and sighed softly:

“Foolish child!”

Daqian Country.

Many high-level members of the True Martial Sect gathered in a secluded valley, although the True Martial Sect was completely abolished by Ye Qingchen’s words, an entity that had thrived for centuries would not wither away easily.

Thus, the people of the True Martial Sect constantly thought about rebuilding the sect.

However.

Ever since the news from the Hundred Thousand Mountains spread, everyone fell silent.

Sitting at the head, the eldest Supreme Elder of the True Martial Sect sighed deeply:

“All is over!”

The rest remained silent, no one dared to speak, and for a while, there was a deathly silence. This news was truly shocking. In the defeat of twelve Strongest Celestial Saints, Ye Qingchen and Lei Ming battled, with the latter being slain in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

“I fear that no one in the Eastern Domain can match Ye Qingchen now!” the Great Elder sighed.

That day.

The True Martial Sect dissolved, one due to the influence of Ye Qingchen, and the other due to oppression from other sects.

But as the Celestial God Sect swept through the Eastern Domain, many sects were destroyed, giving the True Martial Sect hope to revive. Yet, who would have expected such explosive news?

Their eyes were filled with utter despair.

It could be said.

Their last hope of reviving the True Martial Sect was completely extinguished with the release of this news, though more people looked toward the depths of the cave, at that Supreme Elder.

But to everyone’s surprise, they saw the Supreme Elder stand up, walking out of the cave without looking back.

“Supreme Elder…” someone hurriedly shouted.

“Don’t call me that, from this day forward, I am no longer a Supreme Elder! Nor is there a True Martial Sect!”

The cave fell silent.

…

Meanwhile, across the Eastern Domain, countless people were discussing it.

In a tavern.

An old man with a gloomy expression held a wine bowl. He was among those who watched the battle in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and now he was vividly describing the scene:

“You have no idea how powerful Lei Ming was. When twelve Strongest Celestial Saints made their move, I thought Lei Ming was sure to lose. But who knew that Lei Ming, with a casual gesture, defeated them and even killed six Strongest Celestial Saints.”

“Gongyang Yu even conjured a mountain with a sword technique, only for Lei Ming to shatter it effortlessly. That strike was utterly unparalleled, and four Celestial Saints were killed instantly.”

“Afterward, thankfully Young Master Ye intervened, stopping Lei Ming. That battle was sky-shattering, with hundreds of mountains collapsing, and Cloud Heaven Mountain was left in ruins, still bearing traces of the horrifying battle to this day.”

Everyone listened with eyes glowing, eager to witness the battle personally.

“It’s truly unimaginable, that Young Master Ye could slay Lei Ming and accomplish what the Strongest Celestial Saints could not!”

“Indeed, if not for Young Master Ye stepping in, the Eastern Domain might have been destroyed, with no one left to stop the Celestial God Sect!”

“Hmph, no matter how strong Lei Ming was, he had to die at Young Master Ye’s hands. I want to see who dares to wreak havoc in our Eastern Domain again!”

For a time, everyone was engaged in endless discussion.

However.

Some were pondering why Ye Qingchen, at only the Celestial Saint Fifth Layer, possessed such tremendous power. Immediately, someone raised this question.

The old man with a gloomy expression pondered for a moment before speaking:

“Young Master Ye’s prowess can no longer be measured by realm. Gongyang Yu, Su Muzhe, and others were at the Celestial Saint Eighth Layer, ruling over many Celestial Saints, hence they were called Strongest Celestial Saints, but Young Master Ye apparently no longer belongs to that category.”

“Then which category does he belong to?”

Everyone looked expectantly.

“Supreme Celestial Saint!”

The old man declared word by word.

Upon hearing this, everyone held their breath, as if they could sense the looming terror.

“Haha, Supreme Celestial Saint!”

Among the crowd.

Qin Wentian took a swig of wine, eyes full of excitement.

On this day.

Ye Qingchen’s name resounded throughout the Eastern Domain, surpassing the Strongest Celestial Saints, singled out as a category of his own, termed as Supreme Celestial Saint!

And Ye Qingchen, as a youth, intimidated the world.

There was none who could challenge him throughout the entire Eastern Domain.

…

Just as the entire Eastern Domain was in an uproar.

Ye Qingchen had already risen and left.

Heading to the Western Domain.

Besides him, Su Muzhe also left.

Su Muzhe hesitated for a while but chose to go with Ye Qingchen. As one of the Strongest Celestial Saints, he naturally had pride and wasn’t about to let others invade the Eastern Domain without retaliation.

Since the Celestial God Sect had brought such blood debt upon the Eastern Domain, only blood could repay it.

Other Strongest Celestial Saints wanted to follow as well, but Ye Qingchen sent them away, as he was going for revenge, and the Celestial God Sect was not a mere sect; bringing more people might not help and could become targets instead.

As for Su Muzhe.

In his younger years, he too had ventured into the Western Domain, and could serve as a guide.

“Celestial God Sect, here I come!”

Ye Qingchen walked with his hands behind his back, a faint cold smile on his face.
