A certain hidden baseâs Dragon and Tiger Ancestor furrowed his brows, his expression suddenly changing as blood oozed from his seven orifices.
"Not good!"
The Dragon and Tiger Ancestor realized that his avatar left on the Ascension Sectâs main camp planet had suddenly completely disappeared, a fear like never before flashed through his heart.
To eliminate so swiftly, it could only be a Divinity Transformation.
It seems the Ascension Sect Hierarchâs use of the Devour God Technique to consume Chen Mobai had been exposed, angering those two Divinity Transformations from the Immortal Gate.
Whether it was Qi Yuheng or Narcissus,
Either way, neither was someone the Dragon and Tiger Ancestor could resist.
Without hesitation, he gathered the most important things of this secret base and fled towards Lin Daomingâs location.
...
Above the planet.
Dragon breath fell like meteors from the heavens, crashing one by one, forming enormous mushroom clouds. This hidden main camp of the Ascension Sect, all its foundations, defenses, and sins, were reduced to nothing under the cleansing flames.
However, Chen Mobai knew the Ascension Sectâs cultists were not particularly skilled, just very adept at escaping.
To prevent any from fleeing, he wielded his divine sense to control his sword, activating the Primordial Yang Sword Secret.
With his current strength, he could already push this sword technique to the peak mastery realm. The strongest Yuan Yang Sword from the Primordial Yang Set rose above his head, transforming into a golden ray that descended, slicing through the planetâs crust. Subsequently, a flame dragon exhaling fire in the sky, under his command, rushed deep into the earth, crashing straight into the earthâs core.
Boom!
In an instant, a spectacular firework appeared in the cosmic starry sky.
With Chen Mobaiâs sky-reaching means, the Ascension Sectâs main camp, which had been managed for millennia, was reduced to cosmic dust.
At this moment, Chen Mobai felt the progress of his Nine Virtues Introspection increase significantly.
He watched as the planetâs explosive fireworks finally settled into annihilation, nodded with satisfaction, and turned towards the next hiding spot from the Ascension Sect Hierarchâs memory.
It was a starspace battleship, opened during a wartime, hit and stranded by external forces.
This was also one of Dragon and Tiger Ancestorâs secret experimental bases.
It contained various devices stolen from the Immortal Gate and all kinds of experimental materials.
Upon arrival, Chen Mobai discovered that the most critical individuals and items had already disappeared. From some cultists left to die there, he learned that as he annihilated the planet, Dragon and Tiger Ancestor, who stayed behind, suddenly spat blood, his face drastically changing, and hurriedly packed up and left.
Chen Mobai recalled the Nascent Soul cultivator he casually eliminated at the Ascension Sectâs main camp, who seemed devoid of any human aura.
It was likely Dragon and Tiger Ancestorâs puppet body.
"Consider yourself lucky."
Knowing this, Chen Mobai waved his sleeve and captured all the Ascension Sect cultivators present.
These individuals were talents assisting Dragon and Tiger Ancestor in various experiments, and if they could smuggle so much equipment from the Immortal Gate, there must be internal cooperation.
Bringing them back would just suit the Immortal Gateâs internal purge before opening the war.
After dealing with the people, Chen Mobai observed the starspace battleship transformed into an experimental base by Dragon and Tiger Ancestor and recalled the Five Elements Sectâs arsenal in the Eastern Wilderness, unable to produce satisfactory war artifacts, his mind stirred. He opened his domain and took it in.
Then he proceeded to handle the remaining few Ascension Sect bases.
However, it seemed they had been alerted by Dragon and Tiger Ancestor, for when he arrived, only some insignificant small fry remained; the land and people were promptly turned to ash. Chen Mobai thought of the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Dance Tool Dao Academy and the Three Great Halls waiting for his lecture and teleported back.
After his departure, Lin Daoming brought the Dragon and Tiger Ancestor and Divine Control Pavilion Master to investigate the Ascension Sectâs main camp.
"Where is the planet?"
Divine Control Pavilion Masterâs eyes widened as he looked at the suddenly vanished main camp, while the Dragon and Tiger Ancestor beside him gasped in shock.
"A Divinity Transformation acted and annihilated the planet."
Lin Daoming sensed the lingering traces of the Fire Great Dao in the void, his expression grave.
"Was it the old Dual Sages of the Immortal Gate or the new pair?"
The Dragon and Tiger Ancestor suppressed his inner panic; if he had retreated a bit later, heâd likely be a corpse now.
The same expression was on the Divine Control Pavilion Master, whose main camp housed more avatars. Though they were all Core Formation cultivation, they too lost contact instantly.
The God Seeds he planted in them had died, severely damaging his divine sense, causing his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion to still throb painfully.
"Not them!"
Lin Daoming shook his head, brows knitted tight.
In the Immortal Gate, if Qian Xing and Bai Guang were still around, it wouldnât be surprising if they managed this feat.
But the Fire Great Dao wasnât the path those two pursued.
As the former Head of Immortal Affairs, Lin Daoming had interacted quite a bit with Qi Yuheng of Kaiyuan Hall and Narcissus of the Hall of Orthodox Law, naturally knowing they didnât follow this Great Dao either.
Moreover, it wasnât that Lin Daoming underestimated Qi Yuheng and Narcissus, but given their mere decades of cultivation since Divinity Transformation, it was impossible to annihilate a planet in such a short time.
After analyzing all the intelligence in his mind, Lin Daoming quickly reached a shocking conclusion: a new Divinity Transformation had appeared in the Immortal Gate.
