"Witch, come out!" Elder Yuan shouted sternly, but only the cultivators who had died at his hands responded, their eyes bloodshot, looking as if they would not rest until they had avenged themselves.

Elder Yuan acted decisively: "I was able to kill you all before, and I will not be afraid of you now."

However, this is only the simplest inner demon. What follows is an endless killing array that will directly strike at the thing that the heart fears most.

Outside the formation, despite being well-prepared, Song Xia was not having an easy time maintaining her position. After all, Elder Yuan's cultivation was two minor realms higher than hers. She had a great advantage in this battle, not only because she was familiar with the terrain, but also because these ancient formations were something that modern cultivators had never seen before and did not know how to deal with.

She must kill Elder Yuan in this battle. Without him, the Divine Origin Sect will lose an elder with extremely strong combat power, and she can save a lot of effort in the future.

Elder Yuan, trapped in the formation, was already in a bloodthirsty frenzy. At this moment, in his eyes, it was no longer Song Xia fighting against him, but rather that heaven and earth could not tolerate his past mistakes.

Countless wind blades came from all directions, seemingly punishing him for the evil deeds he had committed. Thunderbolts struck down one after another, and the whole world began to collapse.

Then, Shi Tianning and Shi Tiankui began to appear before his eyes. When Elder Yuan saw that they were repairing the loopholes in the world, hope began to emerge in his eyes again. But soon, the heavenly lightning seemed to have discovered that Shi Tiankui was an imposter. A bolt of lightning struck him down from the sky, and he fell heavily to the ground. Blood kept flowing, and his life began to wither away.

"No!" Elder Yuan could not accept this result. He had not yet broken through to the Mahayana stage. If Shi Tianning and Shi Tiankui could not save the world, how could he have a place to live?

However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not change the outcome. He could only watch as the world shattered, and these cultivators could only gradually dissipate their lives in the chaotic void.

Elder Yuan was powerless to resist. Even Song Xia himself did not expect the formation to be so successful. However, it made sense when he thought about it. After all, someone like Elder Yuan had only improved his cultivation level. Without the tempering of heavenly lightning, his mental state was very bad, and he had probably already developed inner demons.

The greater the inner demon, the greater the impact on Elder Yuan within the formation. Although the formation is powerful, it is designed to break Elder Yuan from the bottom of his heart, and he gave up resistance on his own.

"Not good!" Elder Ying, Shi Changqing, Fairy Su Mu, and Shi Tianning, who were far away, changed their expressions drastically upon hearing this roar. However, no matter how they tried to communicate with Elder Yuan, there was no response.

Song Xia activated the final killing formation. Only at this last moment, when countless sword blades pierced through his brow and dantian, did Elder Yuan recover from his despair and look at Song Xia with disbelief.

“Tell me, how did I become like this…” He stared intently at Song Xia, wanting to be reborn like her and become a ghost cultivator. However, even as his soul left his body and gradually dissipated, Song Xia never gave him the answer.

After taking his storage ring, Song Xia quickly left the place, then coughed up a mouthful of blood.

If she hadn't undergone the spiritual trials of multiple worlds, and if Elder Yuan's willpower had been just a little stronger, he could have broken through the illusion array she had set up at any time. However, even so, her victory was by no means easy. The spiritual energy in her body was almost completely exhausted, and her divine sense was being pricked by needles.

Shortly after she left, Elder Ying, Shi Changqing, Fairy Su Mu, and Shi Tianning arrived quickly. Upon seeing the wrecked mountain and Elder Yuan's corpse, all four gasped in shock, their hearts heavy with sorrow.

None of them expected that Elder Yuan, who had the highest cultivation level, would die here like this.

"Judging from the surrounding situation, it was all Elder Yuan's move. How did he manage to do that?" If anyone was the most furious, it would definitely be Shi Changqing. After all, Elder Yuan was one of the sect's most important elders. Without Elder Yuan, it would be an irreparable blow to their sect.

“There are traces of an array.” Elder Ying carefully analyzed the remaining array around him. “It must be an ancient array, otherwise Elder Yuan would not have fallen for it so easily.”

At the same time, he became wary. If Elder Yuan could be the first, he might be the second!

“Perhaps from the very beginning, this was a conspiracy against us.” Fairy Su Mu clenched her fists. “Notify everyone to assemble. We must not split up.”

Unfortunately, the instruction came too late. After transmitting the message, it was discovered that many disciples could not be contacted. It should be noted that the people they brought this time were not only highly talented disciples valued by the sect, but also had considerable cultivation levels.

Fairy Su Mu was very fortunate that after her daughter was captured, she had always taken her son with her and forbade him to act alone. Now it seemed that her caution was necessary.

"We have been attacked by many cultivators with lightning-type spiritual roots. They are not only powerful in cultivation, but also possess very powerful magical artifacts."

"We encountered quite a few formations and almost got trapped inside."

Many disciples of the Divine Origin Sect and the Profound Light Sect were still shaken. Seeing that Elder Yuan was already dead, they had already decided to retreat before even facing him head-on. Many of them were already traumatized.

Who would have thought that with so many people they brought, they would suffer a crushing defeat as soon as they met?

“The inheritance…why did she get the inheritance?” Fairy Su Mu gritted her teeth and said, “Now everyone is forbidden to act on their own. The most important task is to rescue Tian Kui.”

Can they be rescued?

Some disciples couldn't help but ask themselves, and then they looked at each other in bewilderment: even if they could be rescued, would it require them to make sacrifices?

Many people felt uneasy thinking about their fellow disciples who went to Qianli Island and never returned.

Meanwhile, the cultivators from the far west, after reuniting with Song Xia, were whispering among themselves.

"I didn't expect this battle to be so easy."

"Didn't you all notice how terrified they are of dying? They're so hesitant and timid when they make a move."

Suddenly, I felt that all the fear I had felt for the Divine Origin Sect and the Profound Light Sect over the years had vanished.

“We were bullied before because our cultivation level was low and they took advantage of our high cultivation level. Now that our cultivation levels are about the same, we naturally don’t need to be afraid of them anymore.”

"I even feel that cultivators of the same level are far inferior to us. Could it be that their cultivation levels were all boosted by pills?"

"You know what, it's really possible. They always rely on the strength of their sect, so they don't strive for progress. But when it comes to real challenges, they're no match for them."

"Senior Song is indeed powerful; he was able to kill Elder Yuan, even though he was of a higher level."

This news was very exciting for all the cultivators in the far west. The Divine Origin Sect and the Profound Light Sect should have fallen from their pedestals long ago, and the cultivation world should not be ruled by these two sects.

Song Xia nodded with a light smile: "Everyone did a great job, but they will definitely strengthen their defenses next, so we all need to go all out together."

"For the sake of future generations, we must eliminate these two malignant tumors."

"Please rest assured, Senior Song, we will do our utmost."
