A hoary voice resounded through heaven and earth!
Following that...
A colossal hand of energy, capable of blotting out the sun, materialized in the void, its magnitude reaching ten thousand zhang.
"Those who offend our Xuan Alliance shall be killed without mercy!"
As the voice faded, a thunderous roar erupted, seemingly piercing through the void. Instantly, the massive palm descended. In that moment, countless individuals suffered ringing ears.
"No~"
"Flee!!"
The powerful experts of the Feathered Sacred Kingdom scattered in all directions. However, before they could escape, they were already gravely wounded by the oppressive might from above. With a thunderous boom, they dissolved into a mist of blood. As for the army of over ten million, they didn't even have time to scream before being annihilated.
"Hiss..."
"My goodness, have those powerful figures made their move!"
Witnessing this spectacle, even the Lei King of Shattering Heavens was stunned. Such an attack far surpassed his comprehension. It was too terrifying.
Countless experts of the Xuan Alliance stared at the scene, dumbfounded and awestruck. "Heavens, how... how strong!"
Did their Xuan Alliance actually possess such a formidable being? With a single strike, they had wiped out the enemy's army of over ten million. Invincible!
Amidst their astonishment, the most prevalent reaction was exultation. It was a joke!
With such powerhouses, what did their Xuan Alliance have to fear?
Deep within the Xuan Alliance, atop a palace.
"Brother Wen Ren seems to have made further progress!"
Hu Yan Jue Luo, the strongest ancestor of the Golden Horn Giant Beast, spoke with a slight smile. Duan Mu Wen Ren, standing beside him, glanced at him, "The same to you."
"Brother Jue Luo, you must also be at the half-step Yan Yang realm by now."
"Heh heh, we should spar sometime."
Hu Yan Jue Luo chuckled, his statement implicitly confirming it. If the Starry Sky Sacred Land were to learn that their two overlord bloodline ancestors had both entered the half-step Yan Yang realm, they might excitedly turn the entire Starry Sky Sacred Land upside down.
Hiss~
As the two conversed, several streaks of light flashed from afar. Upon sensing familiar auras, both their expressions turned solemn, "The Alliance Master has returned!"
Swish~
As their voices faded, Ye Xuan, accompanied by the Dark Nether Demonic Tiger, arrived not far from them.
"Greetings, Alliance Master!"
Duan Mu Wen Ren and Hu Yan Jue Luo bowed in unison, not daring to show any carelessness. However, when their divine senses probed the figure beside the Alliance Master, they both inwardly trembled. Such a thick and potent aura of pressure.
Could this person... possibly be a Yan Yang realm expert!!
Seeing their reactions, Ye Xuan introduced, "Gentlemen, this is the new guardian of the Xuan Alliance."
After a brief introduction, Duan Mu Wen Ren and the other gasped. "Good heavens, a peak Yan Yang triple-heaven realm expert! This is simply unbelievable."
However...
They then realized a very serious matter: this Demonic Tiger Lord was so respectful to the Alliance Master. Could it be that the Alliance Master's strength was even beyond the peak Yan Yang triple-heaven realm?
The thought sent chills down their spines!
Duan Mu Wen Ren exchanged glances with Hu Yan Jue Luo, their eyes revealing their shared astonishment. "Damn it, if that's the case, then our Xuan Alliance is now comparable to the Four Overlord-level forces!"
"Greetings, Lord Demonic Tiger!"
With this realization, Duan Mu Wen Ren and Hu Yan Jue Luo both bowed respectfully. Strength was paramount. It was a joke; before a Yan Yang triple-heaven realm powerhouse, their meager abilities were utterly pathetic.
"Rise~"
Observing that both of them were at the half-step Yan Yang realm, the Dark Nether Demonic Tiger licked its lips. As expected, this Rank Nine force of the Alliance Master was not as simple as it appeared on the surface. After all, the Alliance Master's strength was anything but ordinary.
Even with his current peak Yan Yang triple-heaven realm combat power, capable of crushing Yan Yang quadruple-heaven realm opponents, he still felt the Alliance Master was unfathomable.
In that case!
The Alliance Master's strength, at the very least, was above Yan Yang quintuple-heaven, or perhaps... even stronger than he imagined!
"Yes, sir!"
Duan Mu Wen Ren and Hu Yan Jue Luo breathed a sigh of relief. "Damn it, I wonder where the Alliance Master found such a formidable being. With this alone, perhaps even the Four Overlord-level forces would not dare to move against our Xuan Alliance."
After a brief exchange.
"What!"
"Alliance Master, you intend to elevate the Xuan Alliance to a Saint-grade force!"
Duan Mu Wen Ren's heart pounded with excitement upon hearing Ye Xuan's words. Beside him, Hu Yan Jue Luo remained silent, but the sharp glint in his eyes spoke volumes.
After all!
Although there was only a thin line separating a Rank Nine force from a Saint-grade force, the significance was entirely different.
Promoting to a Saint-grade force also meant the Xuan Alliance would begin its conquest of the starry sea. Their opponents would no longer be below Saint-grade forces, but rather above them. In time... it would not be long before their Xuan Alliance could contend with Super Sacred Kingdoms, Saint-grade forces, and even the Four Overlord forces.
Having laid low for so long, it was time to test their strength against the world!
The Xuan Alliance would ultimately rise as an unprecedented dark horse from the Saint-grade forces. In the future, it might even rival the Four Overlord forces and suppress the endless realms!
With this thought!
The excitement and fervor in Duan Mu Wen Ren and Hu Yan Jue Luo's hearts were utterly unmasked. If such a grand goal were presented by anyone else, they would naturally not believe it. But when it came to the Alliance Master, it was a different story.
"Guardian Demonic Tiger, the Xuan Alliance will be entrusted to you from now on."
Ye Xuan smiled slightly, his gaze falling upon the Dark Nether Demonic Tiger. Duan Mu Wen Ren and Hu Yan Jue Luo twitched their lips. With a Yan Yang triple-heaven realm expert guarding the Xuan Alliance, they were already in an invincible position within the endless realms.
However... they wondered what kind of Sacred Kingdom or Saint-grade force would dare to covet the Xuan Alliance in the future. It was indeed something to anticipate~
"Rest assured!"
"With the Alliance Master's many methods, even an enemy at the Yan Yang quintuple-heaven realm would have their death warrant signed if they dared to come here! I am confident I can even fight against Yan Yang sextuple-heaven realm experts."
The Dark Nether Demonic Tiger had witnessed the recent battle. With the aid of such means, he even had the confidence to fight Yan Yang sextuple-heaven realm experts. With his bloodline memories, he knew very well that sometimes, realm alone did not determine everything.
"Good."
"Then, from this day forward, announce to the world that the Xuan Alliance is ascending to Saint-grade status!"
"The ascension ceremony will be held in three days~"
A casual voice emanated, clearly indicating that for Ye Xuan, this was a matter of extreme normality. After all, if not for a system mission, he wouldn't have bothered with such trivialities.
Mere fame; Ye Xuan cared not for such things.
"We obey the Alliance Master's command!"
Duan Mu Wen Ren and Hu Yan Jue Luo bowed deeply, not daring to show the slightest negligence. However, they had a premonition that on the day the Xuan Alliance ascended to Saint-grade status, an unknown undercurrent would surge.
After all... the Xuan Alliance had grown to this point in such a short period, and they had made numerous enemies. Saboteurs would inevitably appear.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Deep within the War King's Mansion, Hongmeng Sacred Kingdom.
Crack~
A jade slip, exuding an extraordinary aura, was crushed on the spot. A terrifying aura permeated the entire War King's Mansion. "Well done, Xuan Alliance! Well done, you brat!"
"You annihilated the Feathered Sacred Kingdom and are now aspiring to Sacred Kingdom status... Ye Xuan must die! The Xuan Alliance must be destroyed!!"
"Qi Tian, accompany me to the Xuan Alliance. This old man wants to see what kind of imps and demons reside within this Xuan Alliance!"
Li Chun Tian, the old ancestor of the Li family in the War King's Mansion, exuding an aura of the seventh heaven of the vast moon, took the Hongmeng Crown Prince Cang Qiong Qi Tian and headed towards the Xuan Alliance. The two thus embarked on a thousand-mile journey to offer their heads...
