"Who goes there?"

A sharp shout rang out, and more than a dozen people soared into the sky. Every one of them was a Heavenly Core Realm expert, and the leader among them had even reached the 5th level of Heavenly Core Realm.

He wore golden armor and possessed a majestic bearing. He roared, "Boy, who are you to dare trespass into my Cloudheaven Imperial Palace? You have quite the nerve."

"Fool."

The pale youth smiled faintly and casually struck out with his palm.

Slap!

With just one palm strike, more than a dozen Heavenly Core Realm experts, including the one at the 5th level of Heavenly Core Realm, were all crushed to pieces. Blood sprayed everywhere and dyed the sky red.

"What?"

A series of startled cries rang out from the depths of the palace. Soon afterward, six old men flew out.

All of them had white hair and youthful complexions, and powerful auras rolled out from their bodies like a tide. They were all actually 9th level Heavenly Core Realm experts.

However, at this moment, the six 9th level Heavenly Core Realm experts all looked extremely solemn. One of them spoke in a deep voice.

"May I ask who Your Excellency is? I do not know how our Cloudheaven Ancient Kingdom has offended Your Excellency so deeply that you would resort to such ruthless measures."

"Your Cloudheaven Ancient Kingdom did not offend me, and I am not targeting you specifically."

The pale youth smiled gently and said, "It is just that from this day forward, there is no longer any need for the entire Cloudheaven Prefecture to exist."

As his voice fell, he struck downward with a palm from midair.

"Not good!"

The expressions of the six old men changed at once. They desperately unleashed their strongest techniques, trying to block this palm. However, all their resistance was futile.

Pop!

The palm descended with a light pat, and the six 9th level Heavenly Core Realm experts were crushed into dust, leaving not even bones behind.

"Cloudheaven Prefecture, let your destruction begin from here."

With a gentle smile still on his face, the pale youth struck out with another palm.

Boom!

With a deafening blast, the massive imperial palace, a magnificent structure spanning tens of thousands of feet, was reduced to ruins by a single palm strike. All the cultivators and mortals within, whether royalty or servants, were wiped out in a single breath.

It was tragic.

It was unimaginably tragic.

The entire scene was miserable to the extreme. Blood flowed like rivers as millions of people died at the same time. Such a scene would be unbearable even for the most vicious villains.

This was a true demon.

"Be destroyed. Be destroyed. Only through destruction can there be rebirth."

The pale youth smiled. He placed his hand in front of his mouth and blew gently. A gray flower bud floated up and landed at the center of the destroyed imperial ruins.

In an instant, boundless blood surged toward the gray flower bud. The bud immediately bloomed into a small blood-red flower that swayed gently, creating a sight that was indescribably beautiful and heart-wrenching.

Looking at that small blood-red flower, the smile on the pale youth’s face grew even more radiant.

"The Equinox Flower can only bloom when watered with the blood of a hundred million people. I hope you do not disappoint me."

As he spoke softly, the blood-red flower became even more enchanting. While it swayed gently, a blood-red light radiated outward. In only fifteen minutes, that light had enveloped the entire Cloudheaven Prefecture.

"What is going on?"

"What happened?"

At this moment, every cultivator and mortal in Cloudheaven Prefecture looked up at the sky at the same time.

The sky had already been dyed blood-red.

An overwhelming sense of panic rose in everyone’s hearts. It was oppressive, suffocating, and unbearable.

"The Equinox Flower! Who dares to plant such a forbidden existence?"

Just then, a voice filled with shock and anger suddenly rang out. An old man in green robes soared into the sky and soon appeared before the pale youth. He roared, "Boy, you are insane! Do you have any idea that the Equinox Flower is taboo throughout the entire Azure Void Region? No one is allowed to plant this flower."

"I know you, Daoist Qingye."

The pale youth smiled slightly and said, "A year ago, you had just broken through to the Spirit Manifestation Realm. By killing you, my purpose in coming to Cloudheaven Prefecture will be considered complete."

"What did you say?"

Daoist Qingye’s expression froze, and he almost could not believe his own ears.

The pale youth before him was only at the 9th level of Heavenly Core Realm. How could such a person claim that he was going to kill him? Was this youth insane, or was the world itself insane?

"Daoist Qingye, to be the first Spirit Manifestation Realm expert I kill, even in death, you will be remembered forever in the history of the Azure Void Region."

The pale youth smiled and reached out his hand.

His palm passed directly through Daoist Qingye’s chest, and he pulled out a fresh heart that was still beating.

"I... you..."

Daoist Qingye clutched his chest and looked at the pale youth in disbelief. He wanted to say something, but his lips trembled for a while without a single word coming out.

In the next moment, his body plummeted downward.

"Too weak."

The pale youth shook his head slightly. He withdrew his palm and wiped his hand. His manner was as casual as if he had not just killed a Spirit Manifestation Realm expert, but had merely wiped his hands after a meal.

His gaze turned once again to the gently swaying blood-colored flower. His eyes became incredibly tender, as if he were looking at a lover, and he whispered softly, "Bloom. Bloom."

Huala!

The small blood-colored flower seemed to understand his words, and the blood-colored light it emitted became even more intense. The entire Cloudheaven Prefecture was filled with this blood-colored light, and then that light suddenly descended.

"No!"

"Ah!"

Screams rang out one after another.

The moment the blood-colored light touched a person, that person’s body immediately turned into bloody pus. Whether they were a Heavenly Core Realm cultivator or an ordinary mortal, all of them were weak and powerless before this blood-colored light, unable to offer even the slightest resistance.

Tragedy after tragedy unfolded across the entire Cloudheaven Prefecture. A sea of blood spread outward, and even the air was filled with the scent of blood. This was truly a horrific and inhumane scene.
