Chapter 1262: Killing the Chicken to Warn the Monkey (1/2)

The Realm of Maelstrom had been known for its abundant interconnecting spatial rifts.

Right now, it was in the middle of a complicated situation and stuffed with people.

Xie Qian from the Water Moon Sect, Master Blood Spirit, Jing Feiyang, and numerous other Saint domain experts had arrived. They all looked up at the ancient starship from the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect with gloomy expressions.

The Saint domain experts from the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect, with Monk Goldbone as their leader, were heinously arrogant.

Monk Goldbone had made it clear that the leaders of all sects and clans from the Domain of the Falling Stars, the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries, and the Domain of Heaven Python had to report to this place in the given time.

Whether they were in secluded cultivation or not, they had to come pay homage to the sectmaster of the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect.

Dong Li, Hua Mu, Li Langfeng, Qi Bailu, Fan Kai, Zhao Luofeng, and many others from the Domain of the Falling Stars had already arrived. The same went for Zhongli Jian, Dong Qisong, and the other leaders of the five sects and three clans of the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries.

Needless to say, the three major sects of the Domain of Heaven Python had long since been waiting in the Realm of Maelstrom.

In front of the Divine Seal Sect’s palace, Master Blood Spirit held in his intense flesh aura without revealing a single wisp. Eyes as scarlet as blood, he said grimly, “The Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect doesn’t seem to be so powerful after all. That Monk Goldbone is only at the late Saint domain, which is the same as me. I’m totally confident in defeating him.”

“Hold your horses,” Xie Qian said. “Monk Goldbone doesn’t represent the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect’s peak strength. If we touch him, things will get out of hand.”

“You Qimiao and Duan Hongwen...” Dong Li muttered with narrowed eyes as she gazed up at the ancient starship that was unscrupulously berthed in the Realm of Maelstrom. She exuded the shadowy aura of a dark goddess with her lazy black tortoise crouching by her feet.

Hua Mu sighed. “The agreed-upon time will be up in three days, but Nie Tian still hasn’t returned from the Domain of Frigid Depths. With the Extreme Coldness Palace and the other local sects in rebellion, we can’t learn his situation. Plus, the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace is too busy with its own problems to spare forces to help us.”

“Yeah, the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace itself is neck-deep in trouble,” Xie Qian said.

Many whispered among the crowd, wondering what they should do after Duan Hongwen and You Qimiao from the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect arrived.

Were they really going to bend the knee to the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect?

If they didn’t, which of them would be able to contend against the two God domain experts of the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect?

BOOOOM!

Extremely intense spatial fluctuations suddenly spread out from the ancient starship of the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect.

“Vice Sectmaster!” Monk Goldbone’s elated voice came from above, where numerous Qi warriors from the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect respectfully greeted the new arrival.

It was a slender man in a long robe with pale-gray hair. With a stamp of his foot, he flew off of the ancient starship to float in the heavens over the Realm of Maelstrom.

WHOOSH!

After a shudder, he expanded at an alarming rate. Seconds later, he was a thousand meters tall.

In his dharma idol form, he was wreathed in grayish-yellow auras, with dazzling divine light falling from him, causing even the core structure of the Realm of Maelstrom to change in a subtle way.

Numerous Qi warriors from the three domains were now gathered in separated areas in the Realm of Maelstrom. They all looked up at the dharma idol of the vice sectmaster of the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect, Duan Hongwen, apprehension filling their faces.

“Dharma idol! A God domain expert!”

“Duan Hongwen!”

“Earth power!”

Other than the four great sects, only a handful of human sects with profound reserve power had God domain experts.

However, the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect had not one, but two God domain experts.

Duan Hongwen had only manifested his dharma idol upon arriving because he wanted to put all of the experts from the three domains in awe and stifle their resisting will.

“God domain...” Even Master Blood Spirit, who had claimed to have the ability to take Monk Goldbone earlier, fell silent after seeing Duan Hongwen’s dharma idol.

After getting a measure of Duan Hongwen, he realized that he wouldn’t stand a chance if he were to fight him before he advanced to the God domain.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

With a casual wave of his hand, Duan Hongwen sent beams of divine light falling from the heavens.

In the area where people from the Thousandsword Mountain Sect, the Golden Vast Sect, and the Divine Seal Sect were gathered, more than a dozen Soul realm and Void domain elders were hit by the divine light.

Their bones shattered and their blood splashed as they exploded like watermelons that were dropped to the ground.

Xie Qian from the Water Moon Sect, who was at the late Saint domain, activated his domain and charged into the sky. “Why are you doing this, Vice Sectmaster Duan!?” he shouted. “The agreed-upon time isn’t up yet. Sect and clan leaders are arriving from different domains. Why did you spill blood before the agreed time?!”

Below, infuriated Qi warriors, who had just lost their family or fellow sect members, glared at Duan Hongwen’s awe-inspiring dharma idol in the sky.

“Xie Qian...” After Duan Hongwen gave a derisive snort, his enormous dharma idol instantly morphed into a seemingly-tangible mountain peak that was thirty thousand meters high.

The godly mountain peak was so immense that people below felt humbled by it, and didn’t dare to do anything other than look up at it in reverence.

Glorious divine light fell from the mountaintop to infiltrate Xie Qian’s water domain.
