“Domain Lord Liuli, you really are stubborn, aren’t you!”
Elder Shi Hong’s face was dark. Even though he looked down on these traitors himself, they had still joined his side. Now, one of them had nearly been killed right under his nose, there was no way he could look good after that.
“Traitors should be dealt with like this,” Domain Lord Liuli said coldly. “Don’t give me that crap about ‘a wise man adapts to the times.’ That’s all nonsense! A traitor is a traitor. Don’t think I don’t know, this is all for your selfish interests. You feel like you’ve hit a wall, so you choose to bow to a third-grade God Territory and then act like it’s for the good of Heavenly Spring? I spit on that!”
Her words were fiery, as always, and she held nothing back. She directly exposed the motives of the betraying elders, leaving their faces pale and flushed, they’d been hit right where it hurt.
In truth, it wasn’t just self-interest. Fear of Saint Peak God Territory played a big part. They didn’t want to die, they wanted a strong backer. If they bet right, they’d enjoy lavish rewards after the God Territory War.
“Domain Lord Liuli, don’t be so stubborn! Yes, we have our own ideas, but it’s for the good of Heavenly Spring! If our gamble pays off, our territory will ascend and enter the ranks of third-grade God Territories!”
“Exactly! Why be so obstinate? Saint Peak is so powerful. Stop refusing the toast only to be forced to drink punishment. You even injured the Third Elder!”
They resented her, convinced that she was being too inflexible and narrow-minded.
“What a joke! Do you really think Saint Peak is the only one with a shot? Myriad Heaven God Territory is also a powerful contender. Don’t think I don’t know. Frankly, I’m more optimistic about Myriad Heaven than Saint Peak!”
“And don’t think those types of lords who chew you up and spit you out are going to help us soar. If we had been vassals from the beginning, maybe I’d believe that. But I’m certain they’ve already picked who their allies will be, and it won’t be us!”
Those joining late would never receive the same treatment as those who joined early. Thinking they could become a third-grade God Territory overnight was delusional. At best, they’d be cannon fodder.
Elder Shi Hong narrowed his eyes, stunned inside. She was right, they’d snatched up those with hot heads, only to toss them into the meat grinder.
The traitorous elders hesitated. Her reasoning was hard to argue with.
“We won’t abandon you. Besides, if you want rewards, you have to fight. After the war, you’ll get your share! As for Myriad Heaven God Territory, they’re beneath our notice!” Elder Shi Hong declared, cutting off any second thoughts among the elders.
“And now that it’s come to this, after what you did to the Third Elder, you think even if you surrender, Domain Lord Liuli will let you live?”
He sneered. There was no going back.
The traitors looked at the heavily wounded Third Elder. If they surrendered now, they wouldn’t end up much better. Traitors always met the worst end.
“Don’t mind her. Kill them and take control of this place!” the Third Elder barked, climbing back to his feet. Had Elder Shi Hong not saved him, he’d be dead already.
But going up against a Heavenly Venerable wasn’t a game.
Elder Shi Hong ignored him. Instead, he looked at Liuli and the others. “This is your last chance, surrender or die. Don’t think I wouldn’t dare. A mere Heavenly Venerable? You’re beneath my notice.”
He didn’t want to waste such a valuable asset, not even for cannon fodder.
Suddenly, a scream rang out.
Everyone turned to see a figure standing next to the Third Elder, a long spear in hand that had blown the man’s head apart.
In front of a Heavenly Venerable, someone had dared to act so brazenly.
It was Yi Tianyun!
No one even knew when he had moved, but now the Third Elder was dead, killed in an instant.
“Traitors shouldn’t talk so much,” Yi Tianyun said casually, looking directly at Elder Shi Hong. “By the way, you kind of stole my line. A mere Heavenly Venerable? You’re beneath my notice.”
His voice was relaxed, completely unconcerned. Even though Elder Shi Hong was a mid-stage Lower Heavenly Venerable, Yi Tianyun truly did not fear him.
What third-grade God Territory? Had they heard of Evil Spirit God Territory? He had wiped them out.
Everyone’s pupils shrank, even Domain Lord Liuli didn’t know when Yi Tianyun had moved. She had been trying to find an opening to take out the traitors, but Elder Shi Hong had already raised his guard and was blocking her path. She couldn’t catch him off guard like before.
Yet in that same situation, Yi Tianyun moved like no one could stop him, executing the traitor cleanly.
A devastating slap to the face.
“Who are you!?” Elder Shi Hong’s eyes widened in alarm. For someone to kill right in front of him, they were no ordinary opponent.
“Me? I’m the Vice Domain Lord of this place,” Yi Tianyun grinned. “And also a Domain Lord of another God Territory. Conveniently, we’re bound to become enemies soon. Taking you out now will make things easier later.”
His words didn’t just startle Elder Shi Hong, even Domain Lord Liuli was shocked.
He had just declared war on Saint Peak God Territory. And not just personal war, a full-scale God Territory War.
A war where only death ends it.
“Domain Lord of another God Territory? Which one?” Elder Shi Hong narrowed his eyes. He didn’t strike right away. First, he needed to get the full picture.
“Perhaps you’ve heard of a newly risen God Territory, Three Realms God Territory. I’m the Domain Lord there. And yes, we’ll be joining the God Territory War soon,” Yi Tianyun said calmly.
“The Domain Lord of Three Realms God Territory?”
They all froze. The name sounded familiar, but it was a first-grade God Territory, too insignificant for attention.
“Hahahaha! This is rich! A first-grade God Territory dares act arrogant in front of me? Die!” Elder Shi Hong suddenly reached out. At some point, he had already surrounded Yi Tianyun with his power. With a crushing motion, he slammed his palm down, enough to turn anyone into paste.
He wasn’t foolish. He had prepared for this the moment Yi Tianyun appeared dangerous.
But what he saw next was Yi Tianyun smirking with disdain.
And then, a terrifying sense of danger rose behind him.
Before he could even react, a spear had already pinned him to the ground. The raging Five Elements Power surged into his limbs, rendering him completely unable to resist!

Yi Tianyun’s Five Elements power was truly defiant of the heavens. Ever since he absorbed the Five Elements Core, as long as he knew his opponent’s attribute, he could instantly summon the countering element and completely suppress them!
Especially since this Five Elements Core was a sixth-grade artifact. Most cultivators had planetary cores at only second or third grade. Against the power of a sixth-grade core, it was complete and utter domination.
This suppression even showed in raw stats, a 50% increase in power!
So under this blow, Elder Shi Hong found that his strength was completely suppressed, he couldn’t unleash his full power. Normally, he could have held his own against Yi Tianyun, but he had been far too careless. Who would have thought that someone who only revealed a God Monarch level of strength could suddenly explode with such terrifying might?
“Help me, Heavenly Venerable Si Yuan!” Elder Shi Hong shouted.
But before his cry could even leave the hall, a terrifying force erupted from within him, and he was blasted into a cloud of blood mist, not even a chance to resurrect.
At the same time, Yi Tianyun casually extended his hand and swept up all of Elder Shi Hong’s treasures, including the Heavenly Venerable Spirit Treasure he never had time to use. Most Heavenly Venerables carried such items.
But Elder Shi Hong had no chance to wield his before he died.
“Ding! Successfully killed Elder Shi Hong. Gained 80,000 compressed EXP, 1,000 compressed Crazy Points, 1,000 compressed Sin Points. Obtained: Rainbow Heaven Treasure (Heavenly Venerable-grade), Saint Peak God Territory Records, 50x EXP Card.”
“Over-level kill: bonus 50,000 compressed EXP.”
The over-level reward seemed arbitrary, almost based on mood, but Yi Tianyun was satisfied. Better than nothing.
“Whoosh!”
At that moment, a sharp killing intent descended on Yi Tianyun. He didn’t hesitate. With a flick of his wrist, he unleashed another spear strike, empowered by both the Five Elements Core and Crazy Damage Mode, a devastating blow.
“Boom!”
An explosive force rocked the grand hall. Domain Lord Liuli was quick, when Elder Shi Hong had cried out, she had already dragged the nearby elders to safety, throwing up layers of defensive shields and treasures to protect them.
The traitorous elders weren’t so lucky. They were caught in the blast and sent flying, seriously injured. While not dead, they were close.
Two Heavenly Venerables clashing in full force, few could survive without being on death’s door.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The defensive barrier around Domain Lord Liuli cracked violently under the pressure, nearly shattering.
Just as it was about to collapse, the explosion subsided.
The once-opulent hall was now reduced to ruins. Even the guards outside had been caught in the shockwave, many killed or wounded. A truly horrific sight.
The might of Heavenly Venerables was simply too overwhelming for lower cultivators to withstand.
As the dust cleared, two figures separated and reappeared before everyone. A new, unfamiliar face stood there, it was the one Elder Shi Hong had called for, Heavenly Venerable Si Yuan. No wonder they had been so arrogant, there had actually been two Heavenly Venerables present.
With two Heavenly Venerables, they could easily subjugate a second-grade God Territory, even if another Heavenly Venerable was present. And Si Yuan was a late-stage Lower Heavenly Venerable, far stronger than Domain Lord Liuli.
“To think… a Domain Lord from a first-grade God Territory could display such power. You’ve truly opened my eyes!” Si Yuan’s appearance was that of a middle-aged man. His robes fluttered slightly, revealing a layer of armor underneath.
But it wasn’t armor, it was his own body. Si Yuan was a member of the Beetle type Monster Clan, a race of armored monsters. His carapace was incredibly durable, equivalent to a Heavenly Venerable-grade treasure.
“I figured someone was hiding nearby. Took you long enough to come out. If you’d shown yourself earlier, this outcome might’ve been different,” Yi Tianyun said indifferently. He had sensed someone lurking but let them be, just to see when they’d make their move.
Clearly, their strategy was to leave a backup, if anyone tried to flee, Si Yuan would appear and cut them off.
But ironically, this hesitation got Elder Shi Hong killed. If Si Yuan had been closer, he might have been able to save him.
Si Yuan’s heart sank. He had been prepared to fight Yi Tianyun, but after witnessing that clash, he realized he might not have the upper hand at all. If this went on, he might be the one to die!
While Si Yuan was calculating his next move, the others were utterly stunned.
Even setting aside how Yi Tianyun had become the Domain Lord of Three Realms, his strength alone was beyond anything they could have imagined.
“Is… is Domain Lord Tianyun really this strong? Taking down a Heavenly Venerable like slicing tofu… just now, he clashed with another powerful Venerable and came out fine! What kind of training did he go through?”
“Didn’t he show only half-step Heavenly Venerable power before? How is this even the same person?”
The elders were in disbelief. Just moments ago, he had seemed merely above average, now he was fighting like a peerless powerhouse.
“He was hiding his strength…” Domain Lord Liuli quickly understood. Yi Tianyun had clearly kept his power under wraps, no way could someone grow this strong in just a few decades.
“Hiding his strength? But what’s the point?” the elders asked.
“Isn’t it obvious now? The enemy thought he was weak, made a mistake, and now one of their top men is dead.” She chuckled. “Who would’ve thought that in the end, one person would save all of Heavenly Spring God Territory?”
She shook her head. She had once considered slowly grooming Yi Tianyun, preparing him to take over later. But now, it was clear she had been naïve. Yi Tianyun was more than fit to be Domain Lord, perhaps even second-grade territories weren’t enough for him.
Because from what he’d just said, it was clear, he had greater ambitions, he intended to join the God Territory War!
While the rest of them didn’t even dare to participate, Yi Tianyun welcomed it, a testament to his unmatched power.
“So? Not planning to fight anymore?” Yi Tianyun asked casually. “Or would you rather run and report back about what happened here? Because if you’re thinking of escaping, I promise, I won’t give you that chance.”
He grinned.
There was no way he’d let such a fat sheep walk away. Especially not when they were part of the enemy, and linked to both the Slaughter God God Territory and Evil Spirit God Territory.
That much, he had learned after obtaining the Myriad Venerable God Tower.
