Primordial Era: At the beginning, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor invited me to drink beast milk, and

"presumptuous!"

The great cultivator flew into a rage: "Emperor Guan Rende has already shown you immense kindness by allowing you to live in this world, yet you still dare to speak so disrespectfully!"

Qin Yuan shook his head: "Benevolence? Based on what you've done to the Stone Clan, do you even deserve to talk about benevolence?"

At this moment, the silver-armored messenger finally came to his senses and cautiously retreated.

He knew perfectly well that this level of conversation was beyond his control.

The surviving cultivators of the Imperial Pass also retreated one after another, fearing that they would be caught up in this turmoil.

Seeing that the situation was not good, they disappeared into the distant mountains in twos and threes, leaving behind only a messy battlefield.

Instead of retreating, Qin Yuan advanced, his figure as swift as lightning, instantly soaring into the sky.

His spiritual energy surged, heading straight for the great cultivator at the Escape One Realm.

The great cultivator was originally preparing to use his methods to suppress this arrogant junior, but when he saw that Qin Yuan dared to take the initiative, he was stunned for a moment.

"A mere Celestial God Realm cultivator dares to willingly throw his life away?"

The great cultivator snorted coldly and raised his hand to gather spiritual power.

In an instant, the two figures collided in mid-air.

A terrifying surge of spiritual energy swept across the area, snapping trees within a radius of several miles and creating deep ravines in the ground.

The roar resounded through the sky, startling the birds in the distance into a hasty flight.

The great cultivator was immediately startled by this attack.

He thought he could easily defeat Qin Yuan, but he never expected the other party to be so powerful.

If he hadn't increased his spiritual power output at the last moment, he probably would have suffered a real loss in this collision.

The two passed each other, and the great cultivator stood in mid-air, looking down at his gauntlets.

A fine crack appeared on the seemingly indestructible magical artifact.

Although the crack was small, it signified a startling fact—his defenses had been breached.

"How can this be……"

The high monk muttered to himself, staring incredulously at his gauntlets.

It's unheard of for a Grand Master of the Escape Realm to be shattered by a Junior of the Heavenly God Realm.

Qin Yuan landed on a boulder in the distance and wiped away a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth.

This was one of the few times he was injured in a direct confrontation, which shows that his strength at the Escape One Realm was indeed well-deserved.

His blood and qi surged within him, and he took a deep breath, barely managing to suppress the agitation.

"The descendants of the Stone Clan are quite capable."

The great cultivator put aside his contempt and said seriously, "However, do you think you can fight against the entire Imperial Pass with just this much strength?"

Qin Yuan smiled, his aura rising steadily: "The Imperial Pass? It's nothing but a bunch of people who rely on their power to bully the weak."

"Today, I'll see if you so-called strongmen are really as formidable as the rumors say."

As soon as Qin Yuan finished speaking, a sudden change occurred in the void.

A beam of emerald light stretched down from the sky, like the primordial energy that gave birth to all things at the beginning of creation, carrying an immense and boundless pressure.

Suddenly, countless jade-like branches extended from the void, each exuding a chilling ancient aura.

These branches are not from ordinary trees, but creations containing the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, wrapped with streaks of emerald green light, like the sharpest swords in the world.

The cultivators who had followed the great cultivator had not yet recovered from the lingering power of Qin Yuan's earlier roar when they saw the countless branches sweeping towards them.

Experienced cultivators immediately summoned protective magic treasures, while others used escape techniques to try and flee.

But the branches pierced through their defenses with ease, as effortlessly as cutting tofu.

"Impossible! How is this possible!"

A cultivator cried out in alarm as the high-grade defensive magic weapon in his hand was torn apart by the branches like a piece of paper.

In a moment, screams rang out one after another.

Those monks who fled into the mountains thought they could use the terrain to hide.

Little did they know that these branches could predict their movements, and no matter how they dodged, they could not escape being impaled in the end.

Some people tried to use a secret technique to self-destruct, attempting to perish together with this strange branch, but before they could complete the incantation, the branch pierced their vital organs.

Blood mist filled the air, and the once-mighty army of cultivators was now as fragile as autumn leaves swept away by the wind.

Some people used their sect's most treasured artifacts, while others used their life-saving abilities, but the branches trembled slightly and actually crushed their primordial spirits.

This is no branch; it is clearly the sword of judgment from the heavens!

Seeing his forces wiped out in an instant, the cultivator at the Escape Realm realized that Qin Yuan's words were not arrogant.

He wanted to help, but found that his speed was as slow as a snail compared to those branches.

"stop!"

The great cultivator roared, but it was too late.

The last cultivator who tried to escape using the teleportation talisman was pierced by three branches simultaneously, and the teleportation talisman he was holding, which was half-crushed, was also turned into dust.

In just a few breaths, all of the hundreds of cultivators perished on the spot.

Qin Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, watching the scene before him with a calm and composed expression.

The power of these branches is merely the tip of the iceberg of his true strength.

If it weren't for the concern of alerting the enemy, he wouldn't even care about this great cultivator at the Escape One Realm.

"Now, you're the only one left."

Qin Yuan spoke calmly, his voice devoid of any emotion.

Qin Yuan knew how difficult it would be for him to stop these people by himself.

Because if he were to be held back by these people, they would charge directly at the Stone Clan and even use them to threaten him.

Therefore, Qin Yuan did not give them such an opportunity at all, and took the initiative to strike first and wipe them out in one fell swoop.

The reason he attacked the great cultivator first was to conceal the fluctuations of his divine power.

The great cultivator then truly felt fear. He finally realized that the young man he had previously looked down upon was probably not an ordinary cultivator at all.

The supernatural power he casually unleashed was clearly the legendary innate supernatural power, and the most advanced kind at that.

The branches in the void slowly retracted, but the suffocating sense of oppression did not diminish in the slightest.

Fragments of the cultivators' magical artifacts were scattered on the ground, some still shimmering with a faint spiritual light, but they would soon completely lose their spirituality.

The people of the Stone Clan were deeply shocked by what they saw.

They never imagined that this person possessed such terrifying strength.

Those Imperial Pass cultivators who used to strike fear into their hearts were as vulnerable as ants in front of Qin Yuan.

The great monk broke out in a cold sweat, knowing that he was now like a caged beast.

At this moment, the entire land was stained with blood, and the five hundred knights had completely fallen silent.
