168. Extreme Celestial Domain

Yunping is gone.

He arrived dressed in white, as white as snow, but left stained with dazzling blood. His expression was calm, but his eyes remained unchanged, as still as a deep well.

But this world, and indeed the entire Extreme Heaven Domain, has changed.

From then on, the six extremes of the Extreme Heaven Domain were no longer six extremes, but five extremes.

If you ask why—

The vast Jiang family has three patriarchs whose strength is almost at the level of half-immortals. The family head, Jiang Jingzhong, is even at the level of a saint. In terms of status, methods, and strength, they are all top-tier powerful figures in the three heavenly domains.

The results of it?

Looking around, what remains of the vast territory that the Jiang family once occupied?

Everything is gone.

Whether it's the Jiang Family Palace, the pavilions and city walls, the martial arts arena, the library, the weapons workshop...

They were all reduced to ashes, blasted to smithereens by the dazzling white light that had descended like the sun. The aftershocks even shattered the souls of most of the elite disciples outside the Jiang family gate. Only those with slightly higher cultivation levels managed to survive, but their spiritual roots and meridians could no longer function properly.

Between sessions.

Han Qingying, the head of the Han family, stared blankly at his surroundings. Lying around him were the vast majority of the Jiang family cultivators who had died, as well as Jiang Tianyou and Jiang Huaru, who, for some reason, had been affected by the aftershocks but whose souls had not been shattered.

They are the branch heads of the Jiang family! Even in the Extreme Heaven Domain, if they were to speak out, every cultivator would have to show them respect. How could they possibly have the power to dictate everything?

And now? Just because she shouted a few words at that man and acted arrogantly a few times because of her power, she has ended up in this state.

It's gone, really gone.

Han Qingying knew very well that even if Yun Ping did not completely erase the Jiang family from the map of the Extreme Heaven Domain this time, the Jiang family would still withdraw from the stage of the Heaven-level families - they no longer had any ability to make a comeback.

Too crazy, too terrifying, too horrible.

Even though Yun Ping was gone, and even though the aftershocks had subsided, the minds of those who barely survived still echoed with the frenzied killing intent, the domineering aura, and the chilling silence.

Yes, Yunping has passed away.

But for some reason, Han Qingying remained kneeling, head bowed, and dared not make a move. She remained kneeling, trembling all over, her face pale, her aged face covered with large beads of sweat and expressions of terror.

Everyone knelt down, not daring to even breathe loudly.

…………

Three days later.

Extreme Celestial Domain.

The events that occurred in the Jiang family caused a tremendous upheaval throughout the entire Heavenly Realm.

It's important to know that the Jiang family was once one of the Six Extremes, a Heavenly-level family. Their words carried immense weight, and many things would have to come to a standstill without the Jiang family.

Especially the Han family, which has close ties with the Jiang family. The Han family is an ally of the Jiang family. Otherwise, Han Qingfeng and Han Qingying would not have appeared in front of the Jiang family and stood on the same side as the Jiang family.

With the Jiang family destroyed, transactions involving natural treasures, spiritual plants, and magical artifacts related to cultivation resources could no longer take place, which was a significant blow to the Han family.

But that's not the main problem, because the Han family is facing an even bigger blow.

—Han Qingying, the head of the Han family, has gone into seclusion.

This is not an ordinary seclusion for cultivation to achieve a breakthrough; it is a necessary seclusion out of necessity.

"Sir, how is the head of the family?"

Inside the main hall of the Han family, a pretty young girl looked anxiously at the man in a white coat in front of her.

The man took a deep breath, storing the dozen or so silver needles floating beside him into his storage ring. He shook his head and sighed, "This isn't a simple illness for the patriarch. If it were a serious injury, I could barely help, but the patriarch's injuries aren't actual injuries..."

What do you mean by "not an actual injury"?

"To be honest, it should be considered a spiritual injury, somewhat like the emergence of inner demons."

The man paused here, seemingly considering whether what he was about to say was inappropriate.

But as a doctor, my duty led me to continue the conversation above—

"To put it bluntly, the patriarch has been frightened into having inner demons."

Upon hearing this, the girl's pretty face turned deathly pale.

In fact, after Han Qingying returned to the Han family, she always had that slightly dazed, lost-minded look on her face, her body was trembling uncontrollably, and she kept muttering strange words, which was completely the symptoms of a mental breakdown.

After that, Han Qingying refused to talk to anyone, so she simply locked herself up and stayed by herself.

Not only him, but also the cultivators from the Han family returned in the same way. Some of them even suffered from internal demonic possession on the same day, their souls were shaken to death.

Left with no other choice, the remaining members of the Han family had to announce to the outside world that the Han family head, Han Qingying, needed to go into seclusion for cultivation, but in reality... it was questionable whether Han Qingying could overcome her inner demons.

Unfortunately, no one knows exactly what happened.

They only knew that the Jiang family had been wiped out by a mysterious person, completely and utterly, but they didn't know who that mysterious person was or what methods they used to destroy the Jiang family.

But one thing is certain: that mysterious person must be related to the Cloud Heaven Academy.

Just before Han Qingying locked herself up, he looked at the Han family members with eyes filled with fear and issued a death order—

"From this day forward, no one, regardless of who they are, shall oppose the people of the Cloud Heaven Academy in the Desolate Heaven Domain..."

"Remember, whoever it may be."

At that time, Han Jiuquan and Han Mo, who had just returned from the fierce battle of the sects, had only just stabilized their injuries. Upon hearing Han Qingying's words, they immediately expressed their opposition.

The results of it?

Enraged, Han Qingying beat Han Jiuquan half to death and dislocated one of Han Mo's arms, immediately launching into a tirade of curses:

"If you two little brats want to die, then go ahead and die yourselves! Don't drag the whole Han family down with you!"

That was genuine fear, true bewilderment.

They verbally abused Han Jiuquan and Han Mo mercilessly, leaving the other members of the Han family utterly shocked.

The girl still remembers Han Qingying's expression at that time, an expression that seemed to fear the abyss demon in her eyes.

"Yuntian Academy..."

She murmured softly, took a deep breath, and then shook her head.

Before Han Qingying gave the order, she might have been interested in visiting this academy, but now she knew very well that she had absolutely no ability to investigate it.

How could she dare to investigate the truth of a being that even a saint like Han Qingying feared?

……

"Dean...the Jiang family has been wiped out."

Extreme Heaven Domain, the main campus of the Three Heavens Academy.

In the simple and unpretentious room, a young man dressed in a very solemn manner and with a reserved posture lowered his head slightly and bowed to the figure sitting in the rattan chair with extreme humility.

The white-haired elder, respectfully addressed as the Dean, nodded, and then uttered a heavy voice: "I know..."

"Should I send someone to investigate?"

"check?"

The old man glanced at him casually. Indeed, he was the most capable teacher in their Three-Day Academy. Moreover, he possessed a secret treasure of the Great Dao and was favored by the Heavenly Dao. He was an absolute dragon among men.

With this young man's strength, although he cannot roam freely in the Extreme Heaven Domain, there are very few who can stop him from taking action, even in the three Great Heaven Domains.

Even so, the old man still shook his head, staring at him meaningfully: "You are not qualified... or rather, I don't want you to die there."

The young man's body trembled suddenly, and a subtle displeasure flashed across his handsome face. "I will try my best to be careful."

"This is not a problem that can be solved by being careful or careless."

The old man sighed, and out of the corner of his eye, he unconsciously glanced at the pale blue plant in the corner of the room. Waves of nostalgia gradually welled up in his pale blue eyes.

Yes, I miss it.

But soon, this nostalgia turned into a rather solemn warning: "Hao'er, remember, there are some people and some things in this world that cannot be touched."

The young man frowned thoughtfully. "Dean, do you know the person who wiped out the Jiang family?"

"That's precisely why I'm advising you not to go, because we know each other."

The old man pursed his lips, recalling that time: "He's not one to be spied on, much less investigated. If you really anger him..."

He didn't say anything more.

The young man understood what the old man meant, but he was still somewhat unconvinced: "Dean, you know that even in the three great heavens, there is almost no one who can kill me."

Whether you die or not has absolutely nothing to do with who you are or what power you possess.

The old man's words sounded so casual, as if he were recounting something utterly ordinary.

Whether you survive depends on just one thing.

"what?"

The young man looked up, his face full of confusion.

The old man's answer was simple—

"Does he want to kill you?"

……

Silence.

The young man was taken aback. At first, he mistakenly thought that the old man was joking with him, or that he was exaggerating to tell him that there are always people more capable than oneself.

But the moment he truly met the old man's gaze, what he saw was unparalleled earnestness.
