"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission of returning to the Xuanmeng and elevating it to a Holy Nation. Reward: 5 billion Ziwei coins, plus 100 million high-grade Saint Crystals!"
On the main seat, Ye Xuan's ears heard the system's voice, which was precisely the reward for completing the mission.
Thus!
The Boundless Domain gained another Holy-grade power, which was the Xuanmeng. As for the future height the Xuanmeng would reach, no one knew.
However, one thing was certain: in the near future, the Xuanmeng would at least be on par with the Four Hegemons.
If the current combat power of the Xuanmeng were to be known to the outside world, what would be the reaction of the Four Hegemon powers of the Boundless Domain and other Holy Nations!
Meanwhile, on the other side.
In the depths of the Saint Palace, Hongmeng Holy Nation.
"Crack~"
A middle-aged man who was in the process of breaking through experienced a sound from his side at a certain moment. In an instant, the middle-aged man opened his eyes and then looked at a nearby life tablet. He saw that the life tablet was now covered in cracks and finally shattered into fragments.
"Qitian, no~!"
The middle-aged man's pupils focused, his face filled with grief, and then a terrifying aura permeated the entire hall. That aura was at the peak of the fifth heaven of the Vast Moon realm.
The Northern Sea of the Firmament, that's right!
This person was the current overt ruler of the Hongmeng Holy Nation, the Hongmeng Holy Lord. As the lord of a super Holy Nation, his status and position were extremely high.
"He killed the Crown Prince of our Hongmeng Holy Nation, and even the Four Hegemon powers will not be able to stop this Holy Lord from avenging him!"
The hatred for the murder of his son was irreconcilable. Cang Qiong Beihai's face was ferocious. One had to know that Cang Qiong Qitian was the heir he had chosen and was destined to be his successor. No one knew how much effort he had invested in Cang Qiong Qitian.
Yet now, Cang Qiong Qitian was killed, which was a great blow to him and the Hongmeng Holy Nation.
What a joke!
If the news of the Crown Prince of the dignified Hongmeng Holy Nation being killed were to spread, their Hongmeng Holy Nation's prestige would be swept away. At that time, let alone aiming for the Four Hegemon powers, it would be difficult to even protect their current status as a super Holy Nation.
"Investigate for me!!!"
At this moment, Cang Qiong Beihai issued the order, and the entire Hongmeng Saint Palace fell into a frenzy.
Hiss~
On the other side, at the Martial King's Estate, sounds of breaking through the air surged into the estate. Each figure possessed an aura of the eighth heaven of the Star realm.
"Who dares to trespass into my War King's Estate!"
"No~!!!"
Ten breaths later, the War King's Estate of the Hongmeng Holy Nation was annihilated. A sky-piercing smell of blood permeated the air, and figures then appeared in the void above the War King's Estate one after another.
"This is... the War King's Estate has been destroyed!"
"How is this possible? The War King's Estate is where the Crown Prince's maternal clan resides. Who has such courage!"
"Hey, you might not have heard yet. It is said that the Hongmeng Crown Prince was killed, and the killer hasn't been found."
"The Crown Prince was killed, is it true or not~~"
For a time, all parties were in motion, and everyone looking at the Hongmeng Holy Nation, where powerful figures frequently appeared, vaguely sensed something. Could it be... the Hongmeng Crown Prince was truly killed.
If that were the case, the sky of the Hongmeng Holy Nation might be about to collapse~~
Moreover, the dignified War King's Estate of the Hongmeng Holy Nation had now been destroyed. It was highly probable that the Hongmeng Crown Prince had perished, otherwise, various forces would not have dared to act so recklessly, considering that the War King's Estate was not weak.
Within the Saint Palace, this news soon reached the ears of the Hongmeng Holy Lord, Cang Qiong Beihai.
"The War King's Estate has been destroyed. Those few fellows are quite quick to act."
Cang Qiong Beihai's face was filled with a wry smile. As for who acted, he didn't need to think to know that besides him, it was none of his other sons.
Clearly!
The death of Cang Qiong Qitian made those who had been dormant for who knew how many years see hope again!
At the first moment, they all chose to make their move.
And their target was surprisingly consistent, which was the War King's Estate, the maternal clan of Cang Qiong Qitian. After all, their good eldest brother was the first to be eliminated, and next, it would be their turn.
With the destruction of the War King's Estate, the Hongmeng Holy City descended into unprecedented chaos, with various forces frequently making moves, wanting to profit from the turmoil.
The struggle for the Holy Lord position had always been a taboo of Holy Nations since ancient times. Tens of thousands of years ago, he, Cang Qiong Beihai, had also fought his way out from among his brothers. The relatives he had killed numbered no less than eight hundred.
It wasn't that he wanted to kill, but he had no choice!
As a prince, he couldn't escape such a fate. If he hadn't acted back then, not only he, but his mother and maternal clan would all have been annihilated. With this precedent, he had no choice but to make such a decision.
Cang Qiong Beihai didn't want to choose, but he had no choice~~
Hiss~
At this moment, a ghostly voice appeared before Cang Qiong Beihai. He immediately knelt on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, something has happened!"
"Just now, we intercepted news that many experts from the God Slaying Hall are heading towards our Hongmeng Saint Palace."
"And, this matter... is highly likely related to the Third Prince!"
The person who appeared before Cang Qiong Beihai was the Saint Guard of the Hongmeng Holy Lord, Sheng Yi. As the commander of the Saint Guards, his strength was at the fourth heaven of the Vast Moon realm, only one heaven lower than Cang Qiong Beihai.
"What!"
Upon hearing Sheng Yi's words, Cang Qiong Beihai leaped from his seat, his killing intent unmasked. "You scoundrel, that traitorous son who colluded with the enemy! "
"This is subverting our Hongmeng Holy Nation!!!"
Bang~!!
Just as Cang Qiong Beihai was pondering how to respond, the main hall door was directly smashed open, and a group of people appeared. The one at the forefront was none other than Cang Qiong Rongruo, the Third Prince of the Hongmeng Holy Nation.
However, at this moment, Cang Qiong Rongruo's eyes were filled with coldness, without the slightest hint of mercy.
"Cang Qiong Rongruo, you rebellious son, I will cripple you!!"
With a flash, Cang Qiong Beihai, filled with rage, attacked. He instantly appeared before Cang Qiong Rongruo, but Cang Qiong Rongruo's eyes were filled with mocking amusement.
Before Cang Qiong Beihai could succeed, an old man beside him struck him away like swatting a fly with a palm from a distance, and then the old man's aura of the ninth heaven of the Vast Moon realm was fully unleashed.
"Shangguan Lintian, it's you!!"
Upon seeing the newcomer, Cang Qiong Beihai's expression turned grim. This person was none other than the current Hall Master of the God Slaying Hall, the God Slaying Hall Master himself. Even if Cang Qiong Beihai were a fool, he would have realized something.
"You, the God Slaying Hall, dare to attack my Hongmeng Holy Nation!!!"
Covered in blood and completely devoid of fighting power, Cang Qiong Beihai's face was grim. The God Slaying Hall Master smiled slightly, "Cang Qiong Beihai, in front of our God Slaying Hall, your Hongmeng Holy Nation is no match for us."
"Don't think about stalling for time, because no one can save you today. As for your Hongmeng Holy Nation's Flame Sun realm experts..."
Boom!!!!
At this very moment, in the depths of the Hongmeng Saint Palace, an attack that blotted out the sky and covered the sun directly razed the deepest part of the Hongmeng Saint Palace to the ground. The ancestors of the Hongmeng Holy Nation in the Flame Sun realm, before they could even scream, turned into a bloody mist. Clearly, the attacker was a reclusive high-level Flame Sun realm ancestor of the God Slaying Hall.
Seeing Cang Qiong Beihai's despairing expression, Cang Qiong Rongruo's lips curved into a smile. "My good father, I'll tell you a secret before you die. I'm not called Cang Qiong Rongruo, but Shangguan Qingcang."
"That's right, I am the mysterious Young Hall Master of the God Slaying Hall that no one has ever met, hehe~~"
Upon hearing this, Cang Qiong Beihai spat out a mouthful of blood. Years ago, someone had reported that Cang Qiong Rongruo's identity was suspicious. He hadn't paid attention at the time, but he didn't expect... he was the mysterious Young Hall Master of the God Slaying Hall. "God Slaying Hall, I will not let you go even as a ghost!!"
Hiss~
As soon as Cang Qiong Beihai finished speaking, he was pierced through the heart by Shangguan Qingcang with a spear. "Father, after more than eight thousand years, Qingcang has not failed his mission!"
Thus, the super Hongmeng Holy Nation, which had dominated the Boundless Domain for an unknown number of years, was annihilated in this manner.
