Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Inside the vast, open-air auction arena of White Mountain Ancient City, the atmosphere was incredibly noisy, punctuated by occasional excited screams, as if the torment of the Kun Rong and Kun Yu siblings brought them exceptional delight.

Jun Wuxie remained expressionless, his gaze coldly observing the people in the auction arena.

These were all influential and powerful individuals, not solely cultivators from this ancient life star, but also some hailing from other ancient life stars.

He surmised that the Tan family genuinely intended to auction the Kun Rong and Kun Yu siblings to profit from the resources.

Their primary objective was, of course, to lure him out, and once they killed him, they would sell the siblings to earn a rich and considerable fortune in resources.

After all, for some upper realm forces with special secret methods, the powerful ancient blood from the lower realm had a unique purpose; it could be used to evolve their bloodlines, nurturing their young experts.

In this grand era, enabling the young experts of their sect or family to possess more formidable bloodlines and growth potential held immense allure for them, and they were willing to pay the price for it.

“Wuxie, there are many powerful auras hidden on this ancient star.”

Mu Ciyin secretly communicated with him through divine thought.

Jun Wuxie nodded slightly; his soul was stronger than Mu Ciyin's, so he had long since noticed.

The locations of those powerhouses did not belong to any sect or clan grounds, so it could be basically concluded that they were the people behind the scenes who wanted to deal with him.

“As expected, there are people from the Heaven Purification Holy Sect, the Soul Hunting Sacred Hall, and the Fallen Red Dust. Besides them, there are also Eternal Realm experts from other forces. Judging from the characteristics of their auras, they should be experts from the ancient clans.”

Those people were hiding, concealing their auras, but Jun Wuxie activated his demigod soul perception and still clearly sensed their auras.

“There are also powerhouses hidden in the starry sky, but judging by their appearance, they seem to be here to watch the excitement, and they are not in the same camp as those from the Fallen Red Dust.”

Mu Ciyin glanced slightly at the firmament and said this.

“The Human King Clan, and the others should be from major forces from other ancient life stars.”

Jun Wuxie was not surprised; he had anticipated such a situation before coming here.

The events on Firefly Canal Ancient Star would inevitably attract the attention of many forces.

As long as they guessed that Eternal forces were plotting behind the scenes, laying a trap to lure him here, and their own strength was relatively strong, they would come to watch the excitement.

However, while watching the excitement was true, they might even take action under special circumstances, so they also came with the mentality of waiting for an opportunity.

… …

At the same time, in the starry sky far away from Firefly Canal Ancient Star, two figures shrouded in dark energy were hidden in the void.

“News has arrived. People from the Heavenly Dao Academy went to the Dawn Dynasty, and then Jun Wuxie left with the people from the Heavenly Dao Academy, and finally entered the Heavenly Dao Academy, never to come out again.

He should have left using the art of concealment, deceiving the perception of those who were spying on them. After all, it is not surprising that an existence like the Heavenly Dao Academy has such means.”

“Originally, we planned to have the Soul Hunting Sacred Hall and other forces ignore the Jun fellow for now, and deal with the Heavenly Dao Academy before dealing with him, but we ended up capturing his acquaintances.

Our plan in the Ominous State must also be related to the Jun fellow.

Although the Lower Realm Alliance announced that they destroyed the three great ancient aristocratic families, the Lower Realm Alliance had no reason to do so suddenly. The only possibility is that they reached a condition with the Jun fellow.

That day, the Jun fellow happened to go to the City of Ominous, and after the Lower Realm Alliance destroyed the three clans, they moved as a whole to the Dawn Dynasty!”

Since the Lower Realm Alliance and the Jun fellow have already come together, we will take this opportunity to destroy a batch of experts from the Lower Realm Alliance!

Hmm, it would be best if the Heavenly Dao Academy also participates, so we can wipe out all the experts who come!

“Within the Dawn Dynasty, there is the aura of a dragon vein that obscures perception. The experts from the Soul Hunting Sacred Hall cannot figure out the situation inside, and do not know how many Eternal Realm experts the Lower Realm Alliance has mobilized this time.

When the Jun fellow left with the people from the Heavenly Dao Academy, he only had Ice Heart Pavilion Master Mu Ciyin by his side, but this is definitely just a facade.

The fact that he possesses a special ancient space artifact has long been exposed. Otherwise, how could he have killed all the ancient clan experts in front of the Bone Abyss.

He himself must also know that the ancient space artifact has been exposed, but when he left, he still used the ancient space artifact to hide the Lower Realm Alliance experts he took away, wanting us to not be able to guess the number of experts he took away, but he doesn't know that doing so is meaningless.

They should have arrived at White Mountain Ancient City on Firefly Canal Ancient Star by now. Judging from the Heavenly Dao Academy's attitude towards him, there will inevitably be Eternal Realm experts participating, but we don't know how many.

Hmm, the more who come, the better. Taking this opportunity, we will greatly damage their vitality. In the future, it will be much easier to destroy the Heavenly Dao Academy and the Lower Realm Alliance.”

“Hmph, the Human King Clan and other forces are watching in secret, not knowing whether they are waiting for an opportunity to reap the benefits or watching which way the general trend is leaning.”

… …

Inside a high-rise room near the open-air auction arena in White Mountain City on Firefly Canal Ancient Star.

Jun Wuxie stood by the window, maintaining this posture for a long time, his expression never changing, and he said nothing.

“Wuxie, what are you thinking about?”

Mu Ciyin couldn't help but ask.

“I'm observing the Tan family.”

Jun Wuxie's divine sense had already covered the entire Tan family, understanding everything within the Tan family.

Even if the Tan family, a force between the Dominator and Eternal realms, had formations in their clan grounds and many means to prevent spying and detection, they still couldn't stop his demigod-level divine sense perception.

His divine sense swept over everyone in the Tan family, from top to bottom.

At this moment, his focus was on the lineage of the Tan family's head.

Inside a room in the Tan family head's courtyard, a beautiful woman with a noble and mature temperament, who looked only twenty years old, sat at the table. Two maids were serving her, and a young man with a look of unwillingness on his face sat opposite her.

“Yu'er, why haven't you let go of this matter yet?” The woman put down the teacup in her hand, her eyes filled with doting, but her tone carried a hint of majesty. “Didn't mother tell you that Jun Wuxie still has many acquaintances in this world? That Kun Yu is just one of them.

Although she is beautiful and alluring, those existences behind the scenes need to use her to lure out Jun Wuxie and a group of enemies, gathering them to kill them.

Besides, we cannot decipher the ancient Kun blood secret technique. If Kun Yu is unwilling, she will always remain in her Kun form. Even if you keep her, Yu'er, what use would she be?

According to the information mother has learned, among Jun Wuxie's acquaintances in the lower realm, there is also a woman named Qingyue, whose talent and appearance surpass Kun Yu. Furthermore, there is his imperial concubine in the lower realm, Shangguan Wan'er, who is even more enchantingly beautiful and cold, with unparalleled beauty.

As long as we kill Jun Wuxie this time and severely injure those major forces supporting him, his acquaintances will fall into our hands sooner or later.

At that time, you can have any of those peerless women you want.”

“Mother, Yu'er is not a child. Only children make multiple-choice questions. Yu'er wants them all!”

Extreme greed surged on Tan Yu's face, and his eyes were incomparably fiery.

Over the years, he had seen no shortage of heaven's proud daughters, but the first time he saw Kun Yu, he only felt that she was more enchanting than any woman he had ever seen.

On this Firefly Canal Ancient Star, his family was one of the few overlords. Among the most beautiful women on this ancient star, there were few that he wanted to obtain but could not.

However, those women did not give him the same feeling as Kun Yu. With just one glance, the possessiveness in his heart burned to the extreme.

It was just a pity that he could not obtain this Kun Yu.

But the more he couldn't obtain her, the more his heart itched, and the more he wanted to obtain her.

“Alright, alright, Yu'er, be obedient. Besides Kun Yu, mother will grant you anything else. In the future, whether our Tan family captures his female acquaintances or other forces capture them, mother will get them for you.”

“Mother, you are the family head. You must keep your word!”

Tan Xirou smiled and nodded, saying, “Of course, mother will keep her promise to you. Go, don't make any more trouble. Yu'er, you still need to put more effort into cultivation. Don't always indulge in this.”

“Yu'er will remember mother's teachings and will definitely work hard to cultivate! Yu'er has only cultivated a few years less than them. With Yu'er's talent, he will definitely become one of the most dazzling talents in the starry sky in the future.”

After Tan Yu finished speaking, he bid farewell to his mother and left happily.

“You, ah, you just spoil him too much.” A middle-aged man walked in. “However, that Kun Yu's appearance is indeed irresistible…”

Before he could finish speaking, he felt a cold gaze piercing him, and he only felt chills all over his body. He couldn't help but tremble and quickly said with a dry laugh, “Madam, don't be angry. What I mean is that young people like Yu'er are hard to resist…”

“Without this family head's permission, who gave you the courage to enter this family head's room?”

Tan Xirou's face was expressionless, but her eyes were very cold.

“Madam, aren't you being too much? I am, after all, your nominal husband. You are like this…”

“Get out!”

Tan Xirou waved her sleeve, and a wave of law True Qi swept like a river, blasting the handsome middle-aged man away with a bang, knocking him into the courtyard, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

“Tan Xirou!”

The middle-aged man struggled to his feet, his fists clenched tightly, and the humiliation in his heart roared wildly like ten thousand ants gnawing at his heart.

It was too humiliating. He had had enough of such days!

Recalling those years, the family arranged a marriage, but the Tan family was more powerful than his family, so he had no choice but to join the Tan family.

At that time, he was also a heaven's proud son, thinking that as long as he could conquer Tan Xirou, he could turn the tables and become the master, reach the peak of a son-in-law, and even gradually control the Tan family's power.

As a result, on their wedding night, when he wanted to consummate the marriage with Tan Xirou, he was rejected by Tan Xirou. In a fit of anger, he wanted to force himself on her, but instead, he was beaten up by Tan Xirou and had some of his blood essence extracted.

Their son, Tan Yu, was conceived by Tan Xirou using his blood essence and her own blood essence to fuse within her body.

For decades, he had been an adopted son-in-law, yet he hadn't even touched that woman's hand. Every time he tried to get close to her, he would be humiliated, even in front of everyone, just like today.

"Damn it! My bloodline is no weaker than hers, so why can't I beat her? I'm not willing to accept this!"

After leaving the courtyard, the middle-aged man roared in his heart, his eyes bloodshot.

He still couldn't understand why, in terms of bloodline, he was even slightly stronger than Tan Xirou. Otherwise, Tan Xirou wouldn't have extracted his blood essence to nurture her offspring.

But for some reason, his strength was simply inferior to Tan Xirou's!

Despite his years of diligent cultivation and the secret support of various family resources, the result remained the same.

"What 'rise of the adopted son-in-law' is just wishful thinking by the world. Once you become an adopted son-in-law, you'll never be able to turn things around! Damn it, but I'm not willing to accept this!"

......

In a high-rise building near the open-air auction house, a strange expression appeared on Jun Wuxie's face.

He didn't expect the internal situation of the Tan family to be like this, with a female head of the family. He had witnessed such a good show.

Especially the psychological activities of that adopted son-in-law, which left him speechless.

Slightly stronger bloodline necessarily means greater strength?

This is a flawed idea.

Even with the same bloodline, different people will achieve different levels of success.

Bloodline is innate, cultivation depends on the individual.

Bloodline is just one of the foundations for a cultivator to become powerful. Acquired temperament, effort, opportunity, comprehension, and so on are all very important factors.

"Wuxie, did you see something interesting?"

Mu Ciyin had been following him for so many years and naturally understood him.

"It can indeed be considered an interesting matter."

He spoke of what his divine sense had spied, but his voice contained a chilling killing intent.

His killing intent came from the Tan family mother and son, who actually had designs on his other old friends.

However, the Tan family mother and son would no longer have a chance.

"An adopted son-in-law? Also a proud son of heaven from a major power, able to marry the head of the Tan family, his status must be quite high. Instead of striving to strengthen himself, he wants to control the power of others through this method, only to be subjected to all kinds of humiliation. He deserves it, a useless piece of trash."

Mu Ciyin deeply despised this kind of person, because she would unconsciously compare him to Jun Wuxie, and the two were as different as heaven and earth, beyond comparison.

"When are you going to make your move?"

The situation of the Kun Rong and Kun Yu siblings was very bad. The longer it dragged on, the greater the damage to them.

"This ancient star is covered with a great array. Once activated, everyone on the entire planet will be sacrificed with blood. Judging from the aura of the array's age, it should have been left behind by the ancestors of the major forces on this ancient star.

Although it's not the method of an Eternal Giant, it relies on the will of the planet and the core energy to unleash powerful power.

Ancient stars that give birth to cultivation civilizations are not ordinary stars. The planet's will accumulates the law energy of all the powerful people born on this ancient star over a long period, constantly strengthening itself.

This Fireweed Ancient Star, for some unknown reason, its planet's will actually recognized the actions of those forces in setting up an array to sacrifice all living beings with blood.

In addition to this, various arrays have also been set up in this city. There are multiple overlapping arrays within that open-air auction house.

It looks like an open-air auction house, but once we appear, changes will occur inside, evolving into a special small world."

"You are a talisman master, is there a way to resolve it?"

"I can't resolve it. That array fused with the planet's will should be the Tan family and other forces' ultimate trump card. Unless they face the danger of annihilation, they won't activate it.

As for the other arrays, there's no time to resolve them either. With my current talisman dao realm, it would take at least ten days to do so, and I would need the help of Talisman Saint Master. After all, it's an eternal-level array.

However, the other arrays pose no threat to us. As long as that array fused with the planet's will remains dormant, everything can be ignored."

"That means we can't settle accounts with the Tan family."

Jun Wuxie nodded, "You could say that. If by settling accounts you mean wiping out the entire Tan family, that's definitely not possible, but making them pay some price is doable.

"You wait for me here, I'll take a stroll around the Tan family, and I'll be back soon."

After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, he disappeared into thin air.

Mu Ciyin was stunned and couldn't help but reveal a thoughtful expression.

What exactly is Wuxie going to do at the Tan family?

Is he going to assassinate important figures in the Tan family, or is he going to explore the situation in the Tan family's forbidden area?

If it's the former, it would startle the snake, so Wuxie probably wouldn't do that, but if it's to find out the number of experts in the Tan family's forbidden area, is that necessary?

After all, as long as the Tan family doesn't have an Eternal Giant, they pose no threat to us without activating that special array.
