In the distance, nestled among the mountains, a middle-aged man in a blood-red brocade robe looked toward the royal city, his expression one of utter horror.

He turned and walked into a cave, where the air was thick with the smell of blood, making it almost impossible to see.

The middle-aged man respectfully said, "Master, a monk at the Guiyi Realm has come to the royal city. He is incredibly powerful and has persuaded millions to lay down their weapons with just a few words. Please, Master, take action."

A moment later, a hoarse voice came from deep within.

“Alright, you can continue to refine your blood energy here. Remember, you cannot absorb this blood energy, otherwise, if the sect leader blames you, I won’t be able to protect you.”

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man suppressed his greed, remembering the terror of the cult leader, and immediately nodded, saying, "Master, rest assured."

As soon as the words were spoken, the cave was filled with a surge of blood energy, and then came an old figure with sunken eyes and a thin frame. Although he was also wearing a blood-red brocade robe, it was covered with a giant golden python.

"That monk has such profound cultivation. You should stay here and do your work in peace. There is an array protecting you here, so you will not be affected."

The old man seemed very confident in the formation. Battles at the Unity Realm often spanned hundreds of miles, and with this formation protecting them, the aftershocks of the battle couldn't break it.

After saying this, he transformed into a stream of blood and arrived above the royal city in a moment, standing in mid-air opposite the Sweeping Monk.

"My name is Xueya, and I am the Ninth Elder of the Blood God Sect. You are not a member of this dynasty, so why do you need to get involved?"

The sweeping monk raised his eyes, stopped chanting Buddhist scriptures, and said without sorrow or joy, "Your sect harms living beings, which is abhorrent to both gods and men. If this humble monk does not intervene, I fear my mind will break down."

The old man named Xueya said no more after hearing this. Since he knew that a battle was going to take place, why waste any more words?

"Since that's the case, I'll send you to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, to recite the true scriptures beside the Buddha!"

After saying that, he took out a sword, which was completely black and made people feel cold as soon as they saw it!

This means they're going to unleash a deadly attack right from the start, leaving no one alive within hundreds of miles!

A faint light flashed across the sky, cleaving it in two and creating numerous spatial rifts, demonstrating just how terrifying a Unity Realm cultivator could be when equipped with a divine weapon!

But the sweeping monk remained unmoved. He possessed dozens of unique skills, which he had already mastered and even innovated upon. His cultivation had broken through to the Unity Realm a few months ago. If he could not win against someone of the same level, he would seem too useless!

A ten-zhang (approximately 33 meters) wall of energy appeared, and Xueya, wielding his divine weapon, pierced it one zhang (approximately 3 meters) before being unable to advance any further.

Xueya stared at the Sweeper Monk in astonishment and disbelief, saying, "Impossible! You're not Guiyi? You're Huaxu?"

The sweeping monk shook his head and said, "This humble monk is at the Guiyi realm. It can only be said that your Guiyi realm is too weak. This humble monk comes from the Gold and Silver Sect, and the minimum requirement for anyone who leaves the sect is to be invincible among their peers."

Before Xueya could process what he had said, he punched him in the stomach.

What happened next left the experts who could see this completely dumbfounded: a terrifying burst of fist power erupted.

First, Xueya's body was vaporized by that terrifying fist force, leaving not even a drop of blood behind!

Then came the sky behind Xueya. The force of the fist spread out to an unknown distance, and the entire sky was blasted with holes by this terrifying force. Instantly, the wind rose and the clouds surged, lightning flashed and thunder roared, the earth shook, and tornadoes flipped upside down, creating a scene resembling the end of the world.

Even the sweeping monk hadn't expected his full-force attack to be so terrifying. In just a few months, he had advanced to the Unity stage, perfected several body-refining techniques, and then cultivated the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique to the thirteenth level. He then innovated by combining several techniques into one, creating his own unique technique, which greatly improved his physical body. He himself was unaware of how terrifying it was!

When he reported this to Meng Fan, Meng Fan was amazed by his talent. He was able to integrate several already top-notch techniques into one, and he already had the concept of the Primordial Scripture.

After all, Meng Fan's Wushi Yuanjing (Primordial Scripture of Nothingness) can integrate various cultivation methods into one, discarding the dross and retaining the essence.

However, the Sweeper Monk's fusion could not be as perfect as the Primordial Scripture, but it was still enough to amaze Meng Fan for a long time!

Without further thought, the Sweeper Monk's entire body turned golden. He immediately clasped his hands together, and his vast and pure true energy spread out, enveloping an area within a hundred miles.

Those below were terrified by the apocalyptic sight in the sky and could only silently await their deaths, without even the will to resist such power of heaven and earth.

But when they looked up, they saw that the divine monk had not left after exorcising the demon. Instead, he had spread out an energy shield to protect them, and they all marveled that he was a truly virtuous and accomplished monk.

The lightning from the sky relentlessly bombarded the protective shield, and the tornado that stretched from heaven to earth was also cut off by the shield, leaving it only able to unleash its destructive power onto the energy shield!

The people on the ground only felt a slight tremor. Although the scene of the world's destruction was terrifying, the golden figure gave them a glimmer of hope!

Time passed continuously, and after a full hour, everyone saw that the hole in the sky had disappeared, and the world returned to calm. However, the Sweeper Monk could no longer hold on. His golden body had long since vanished, his face was pale, and his body in mid-air was teetering on the verge of collapse!

He used his true energy to continuously protect the people below. The attack of the power of heaven and earth on his energy shield was not much better than being directly hit on him. It could be said that he was directly confronting the power of heaven and earth.

Even with the strength of the Unity Realm, it is still not enough to resist the power of heaven and earth. If it were someone else in the Unity Realm, being able to withstand the force of a cup of tea would already be considered a strong person in the Unity Realm!

The Sweeper Monk fought for a full hour!

Knowing that his master was not in good condition, Chu Di quickly flew away and rushed towards the Sweeper Monk!

Huang Younian also exclaimed that the monk not only had unfathomable cultivation, but also a compassionate heart, making him a true monk!

With his cultivation level, he could naturally see that the Sweeper Monk could have chosen not to protect people within a hundred miles. Even if he only protected people near the royal city, he wouldn't have had to exert so much effort and wouldn't have gotten hurt!

He deeply admired the Sweeper Monk and followed Chu Di to him without hesitation.

"Master!"

This was the first time Chu Di had looked so flustered since joining the Gold and Silver Sect. He and the Sweeper Monk were not relatives, but closer than relatives. In his heart, he had long regarded the Sweeper Monk as an elder of his family.

Seeing the Sweeping Monk in such a state, he was naturally anxious!

People around him naturally made way for him, and the sweeping monk's actions truly earned their respect.

"I'm fine. There's still a Grandmaster-level demon in those deep mountains. Let me recuperate for a while before I go." He can't even stand up straight now, so how can he fight?

Chu Di frowned and said, "Master, why don't you rest here? Isn't there a Grandmaster-level expert in the Yun Sheng Dynasty? If I go with him, I'm sure we can deal with that demon!"

The sweeping monk pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, the demonic methods are extremely powerful. If it weren't for my Gold and Silver Sect, they would be virtually invincible among their peers. Moreover, I sensed that they have an extremely powerful formation there. Without the strength of the Unity Realm, let alone breaking the formation, you wouldn't even be able to find them!"
