The wind howled, stirring the clouds across the nine heavens!
The Grand Elder soared like a mighty roc, covering tens of thousands of miles with each effortless stride. His speed was unimaginable, surpassing all comprehension.
And this was not even his limit—his velocity continued to increase, leaving Shi Hao utterly awestruck. At last, he understood why the Grand Elder stood as a peerless master among mortals.
Such speed distorted time itself, sending fragments of temporal essence swirling around him. Stars, moons, and rivers of the cosmos revolved in his wake, painting a grand and overwhelming spectacle.
And this was merely the act of travel—yet it had already conjured such astonishing celestial phenomena!
As fragments of time scattered, the Grand Elder tore through the starry expanse with Shi Hao in tow, hastening toward the Wang Clan.
The Wang Clan resided in Boundless Heaven, so there was no need to breach the barriers between realms. Since they were already within this domain, the Grand Elder could reach them swiftly.
Yet for ordinary beings, this journey was unimaginable—spanning distances measured in hundreds of millions of miles, an astronomical expanse!
**Boom!**
In an instant, the Grand Elder flicked his sleeves, shattering the void as he stepped forth onto a vast and boundless land.
They had arrived!
The speed was staggering—what would have taken days of arduous travel through countless spatial teleportation arrays for Shi Hao had been traversed in mere moments.
Ahead, the land rose like coiling dragons and serpents, while mountains reclined like qilins. Cliffs bore the likeness of soaring phoenixes, brimming with auspicious energy!
Of course, these “dragons and serpents” were not true divine beasts but towering mountain ranges—massive, winding spines of the earth, wreathed in immortal mist, resembling coiling serpents and ascending dragons.
The great peaks resembled crouching qilins, shrouded in violet qi and brimming with sacred herbs, exuding an aura of harmony and divinity.
The sheer cliffs resembled phoenixes taking flight, carrying an air of transcendence. Some even bore caves that spewed radiant light, like unfurling wings.
This was one of the three most renowned immortal abodes of Boundless Heaven—the domain of the Wang Clan, hailed as the Eternal King’s Manor!
In ancient times, this clan had birthed an immortal who transcended all calamities, achieving eternal life. During the Immortal Ancient Era, their power had reached its zenith, and even now, their glory remained undiminished.
Through the ages, none dared to provoke them—not even other immortal clans wished to court their wrath.
The land was vast, adorned with towering ancient trees and teeming with divine beasts and mythical birds. The skies were filled with the dance of sacred avians and demonic raptors.
**”Who goes there?”**
The moment the Grand Elder and Shi Hao approached, a thunderous challenge rang out.
A violet-golden ape, a hundred zhang tall, leaped forth, brandishing a battle spear. The earth trembled beneath its steps as it blocked their path.
Its metallic fur gleamed with a fierce luster, marking it as a remnant of the primordial wilds—a creature of immense power.
**”Step aside!”** the Grand Elder commanded.
**”Audacious! To dare trespass upon the Wang Clan’s estate—do you have a death wish?”** the ape roared, sending stones flying and shaking the mountains.
**”Such arrogance. We are still eight hundred li from the Wang Clan—do you mean to bar all passage?”** the Grand Elder replied coldly.
He had descended because he sensed something amiss—a terrifying grand formation had been laid ahead, capable of halting even supreme experts!
**”Keke…”** The ape cackled with malice, its eyes wide. **”All know that within three thousand li of the Wang Clan, one must proceed on foot as a sign of respect. Yet you dare act so insolently?”**
**”Ignorant beast!”** The Grand Elder’s expression darkened. With a flick of his sleeve, the monstrous ape let out a shriek, blood gushing from its mouth as its body cracked apart. It was sent flying thousands of li, vanishing beyond the horizon.
**”Heavens… what kind of ancient monster has arrived?”** was the ape’s final thought before it crashed into a distant mountain and lost consciousness.
The ape had been at the pinnacle of the Void Dao Realm, on the verge of breaking through. Yet before the Grand Elder, it was as insignificant as a puppet—a disparity as vast as the heavens and the earth.
The eight-hundred-li formation was astonishing!
Even the Grand Elder frowned upon entering, for this was a formation of absolute slaughter—any who trespassed blindly would perish without question.
Even a Supreme Being would hesitate here.
Standing within the formation, the Grand Elder silently deciphered its mysteries before striding forward with Shi Hao in tow, moving with incredible speed.
Like a tempest, he swept through, sending boulders weighing thousands of jin flying and uprooting ancient trees, carving a path through sheer force.
This was no wanton destruction—this was a death trap, and only by unraveling the formation and overpowering it could one proceed.
Without hesitation, he advanced unstoppably, his feet leaving behind intricate and profound runes.
**Boom!**
Where he passed, bolts of lightning erupted, tearing through the heavens and scattering the clouds as if heralding the end of days.
Behind him, the earth split open, and molten lava surged skyward in crimson waves thousands of zhang high, dyeing the heavens red!
The formation was formidable—even the Grand Elder’s passage stirred such cataclysmic disturbances, for immense power was required to break through.
Beasts roared and birds shrieked—the commotion had alerted the guardians ahead.
Eight hundred li was an insurmountable distance for mortals, but for the Grand Elder, it was crossed in an instant.
**”Such insolence! To defy the Wang Clan’s divine might!”** A furious voice boomed from the sky, accompanied by a golden radiance and a tempestuous gale.
The wind was so fierce that mountains trembled, and boulders weighing tens of thousands of jin were tossed like straw.
A divine avian, vast beyond measure, blazed with golden light. Its wings spanned thousands of li, eclipsing the heavens in dazzling splendor.
Its chilling gaze struck terror into the soul.
**”A Golden-Winged Great Peng!”** Shi Hao gasped. This was no ordinary specimen—its bloodline was pure, and its cultivation was terrifyingly advanced.
**”To reach the half-step Supreme realm at such an age is no small feat,”** the Grand Elder remarked with a nod.
The mighty Golden-Winged Great Peng swooped down, casting a colossal shadow. The gales it stirred shook mountains and rivers, a testament to its might.
**”I care not who you are—to trespass upon the Wang Clan’s sacred grounds is a grave crime. Will you surrender and beg for mercy, or face the clan’s wrath?”** the peng thundered.
**”Since when have these eight hundred li of land belonged to the Wang Clan?”** the Grand Elder replied calmly. **”Out of respect for your cultivation, I advise you to retreat. Do not court your own ruin.”**
Enraged, the peng—fiery and unyielding by nature—dove toward them in a blinding streak of gold, its talons outstretched to seize both the Grand Elder and Shi Hao.
**Boom!**
Nearby boulders shattered under the sheer pressure of its descent.
Shi Hao’s heart pounded—this divine bird was monstrously powerful, capable of snatching the moon from the sky with such ferocity.
Yet the Grand Elder remained unmoved. Facing this devastating strike, he merely extended his right hand.
Golden radiance flooded the sky, warping space as the peng’s talons descended with world-shaking force, cracking the void itself!
The scene was apocalyptic—yet what followed was even more astonishing.
The thousands-of-li-long Golden-Winged Great Peng shrank rapidly as it neared the Grand Elder’s palm, until it was no larger than a hand’s span, trapped and fluttering helplessly.
Its razor-sharp talons scraped against the Grand Elder’s fingers, sparking wildly, but they could not pierce his skin. Blood dripped from its claws, and it dared not struggle further.
The sight was terrifying—such a mighty beast, subdued so effortlessly.
Realization dawned on the peng—this was a supreme being, one of the rarest existences across the nine heavens and ten earths.
Earlier, it had relied on the Wang Clan’s prestige, but now it understood—this man feared not even them!
**”Your ancestor, the Kun Peng, was peerless in might. Yet its descendants have fallen to guarding gates—how lamentable,”** the Grand Elder mused before flicking the peng into unconsciousness.
**”Who dares trespass upon the Wang Clan?”**
Tens of li ahead, grand structures loomed, and a figure sat in meditation before them.
**Boom!**
The Grand Elder hurled Wang Manglong’s severed torso and the elder’s head forward, smashing them into an ornate archway. The structure crumbled, sending dust billowing into the sky!
