Chapter 299: Selling Everything! Great Yan in Shock!

On Immortal Net Weibo, the massive fireworks that filled the sky, covering the entire central region of Great Yan Province, were photographed by countless cultivators and uploaded to Immortal Net Weibo, sparking a huge debate.

After all, the Demonic Mountain Range spanned thousands of miles right in the central region.

Today, the Heavenly Origin Saint Master had challenged a Great Advancement powerhouse.

Could those fireworks be the power of a Great Advancement technique?

A single strike that reached across the entire central region — truly terrifying.

Many cultivators felt pity for Ye Chen:

“The Heavenly Origin Saint Master is truly a genius with limitless potential. Why fight a Great Advancement expert over five million high-grade spirit stones?”

“The Heavenly Origin Saint Master’s creation of the Heavenly Origin app allowed me to break through from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment in just a year, revolutionizing the cultivation world.”

“Such a pity! I wonder if new features will come out after the Saint Master’s fall!”

“Probably not. Who else in all of Great Yan Province could come up with such groundbreaking ideas as the Heavenly Origin Saint Master?”

“Why is there still no update from the battlefield? Could Elder Jinwu have gone on a rampage and slaughtered all the onlookers?”

Countless cultivators speculated, filled with curiosity about the situation on Ten Thousand Demonic Mountain Range.

Most did nothing else, waiting for the latest news on Immortal Net Weibo.

A late-stage Deity Transformation rogue cultivator even posted. “I was in seclusion earlier and couldn’t make it to Ten Thousand Miles Demonic Mountains. Any updates from a fellow cultivator?”

Soon after, an elder from Pure Serenity Sacred Land replied to his post, “He blew up!”

Those simple words made the rogue cultivator’s eyes widen, and many other cultivators, drawn by the news, were also stunned.

Blew up?

Did Elder Jinwu blow up the Heavenly Origin Saint Master?

Recalling the fireworks that filled the sky, many couldn’t help but sigh.

Although they’d anticipated that Ye Chen wouldn’t be a match, to see this generation’s strongest genius, who had briefly held the title of Great Yan Province’s top expert, confirmed dead, left everyone with a sense of loss.

The rogue cultivator replied to the Pure Serenity elder. “Ah… I didn’t expect the Heavenly Origin Saint Master to go out in such a grand way.”

Seeing this, many cultivators nodded.

The Heavenly Origin Saint Master was like a brilliant meteor, and such a death was indeed grand.

But before the cultivators could wallow in their feelings, the Pure Serenity elder replied, “What are you talking about?

“Don’t misinterpret me!

“I never said the Heavenly Origin Saint Master fell, and I’m certainly not slandering him!

“I meant, Elder Jinwu blew up!

“Elder Jinwu’s divine manifestation was shattered by a single punch from the Heavenly Origin Saint Master.

“Even the void cracked from that punch.

“Those beautiful fireworks were the aftermath of the divine manifestation’s explosion.”

???

Though they weren’t speaking face-to-face, everyone could feel the elder’s panic and reverence for the Heavenly Origin Saint Master through his words.

His flurry of replies left every cultivator bewildered.

The one who blew up wasn’t the Heavenly Origin Saint Master?

But rather, the Great Advancement Elder Jinwu?

And those fireworks were from his divine manifestation exploding?

Moreover, Elder Jinwu’s divine manifestation was shattered by Ye Chen’s punch?

How could that be?

Do you even believe what you’re saying?

There’s an entire realm of difference between them.

The rogue cultivator also didn’t believe it, suspecting the elder was just joking with him.

But at that moment, Immortal Net Weibo’s homepage refreshed.

A wave of posts from major figures appeared in quick succession.

The Pure Serenity Saint Master. “Congratulations to Senior Heavenly Origin Saint Master for reaching late-stage Deity Transformation. I am in awe!”

Pure Serenity Sacred Land’s Supreme Elder. “Daoist Ye is an unparalleled talent. I am ashamed of my own abilities. I detest those who borrow spirit stones and refuse to repay. I hereby declare that any disciple of Pure Serenity Sacred Land found doing this will be expelled!”

The Demon Sect Leader. “I always believed the Saint Master was on par with Elder Jinwu, and today’s events prove it. The Saint Master’s position as the top expert of Great Yan Province is well deserved.”

Jade Pond Sacred Land’s Supreme Elder. “Congratulations to Heavenly Origin Sacred Land on the successful completion of their forced debt collection operation.”

True Martial Sect Leader. “The Saint Master made history by defeating a Great Advancement with a Deity Transformation Realm power. True Martial Sect is willing to serve and spread his heroic feats throughout the cultivation world…”

???

Seeing this overwhelming stream of congratulatory posts, countless cultivators’ eyes widened.

They were all praising the Heavenly Origin Saint Master, congratulating him.

The implications were thought-provoking.

And the last post by the True Martial Sect Leader left everyone speechless.

Defeating a Great Advancement as a Deity Transformation cultivator?

Elder Jinwu of the Great Advancement Realm, dead?

How was that possible?

The news spread like a storm, engulfing all of Great Yan in an instant.

Countless cultivators flooded Immortal Net at once.

News of Elder Jinwu’s death instantly reached the top trending spot.

But even with so many powerful figures posting, most cultivators still couldn’t believe it.

They truly couldn’t.

The first Great Advancement of Great Yan Province in three thousand years, a divine manifestation with the power to destroy worlds, and a companion phenomenon that made him even stronger than an ordinary Great Advancement.

How could such a being fall so easily?

And at the hands of a Deity Transformation cultivator, no less?

No one wanted to believe it.

But now, most of the on-site observers had recovered from their shock, and were entering Immortal Net Weibo to post updates.

A series of photos from the scene was released by a Sacred Land elder.

The first photo, showed Elder Jinwu’s divine manifestation striding forward from a distance.

This image alone stunned countless cultivators seeing a divine manifestation for the first time.

The manifestation was far more terrifying than they’d imagined.

A thousand meters tall, like an ancient god or demon.

Just looking at the photo shook their minds, filling them with awe.

How could such a being fall?

The second photo, still showed Elder Jinwu’s divine manifestation, but this time with a huge hole in its chest, as if someone had punched straight through it.

The once awe-inspiring divine manifestation was now covered in countless cracks.

Even the void behind the divine manifestation was filled with web-like fractures.

This scene made countless cultivators’ hearts tighten.

Could it be that the Heavenly Origin Saint Master really shattered Elder Jinwu’s divine manifestation with a single punch?

They quickly opened the next photo.

In the next image, they saw a sky full of dazzling fireworks.

Suppressing the shock in their hearts, they eagerly scrolled down.

Elder Jinwu lay on the ground, hair grayed, his body weakened.

Elder Jinwu knelt, begging the Heavenly Origin Saint Master for mercy.

Elder Jinwu’s face was filled with terror…

Elder Jinwu burst into a display of fireworks…

After seeing all the photos, the hands of countless cultivators trembled slightly.

A Great Advancement powerhouse who emerged only once every three thousand years, had fallen just like that?

Those posts by the powerful figures on Weibo turned out to be true.

The Heavenly Origin Saint Master, had shattered Elder Jinwu’s divine manifestation with just one punch.

This truth left countless cultivators questioning reality.

The Heavenly Origin Saint Master was only at the late-stage Deity Transformation!

To leap an entire realm and shatter a Great Advancement divine manifestation with one punch?

This was simply absurd.

For a moment, Great Yan Province was silent.

The minds of all the cultivators went blank, some even wondering if they were still dreaming.

As for the comments section, it was quiet.

Not because they weren’t shocked, but because they were too shocked, with no mind to comment.

Meanwhile, at Great Mystery Sacred Land, elders were in a panic, loudly calling outside the Great Mystery Saint Master’s retreat.

Soon, the doors of the retreat opened.

The Great Mystery Saint Master emerged, seething with anger.

He had been gravely injured, and had just managed to enter meditation, only to be disturbed, almost worsening his injuries.

“You all…” The Great Mystery Saint Master stopped mid-sentence, noticing the expressions on the elders’ faces.

Sensing something was wrong, he asked, “What happened?”

The Penalty Elder spoke woodenly, “Elder Jinwu is dead!”

What!

The Great Mystery Saint Master leaped up, “What did you say?”

The Penalty Elder hung his head. “Elder Jinwu was slain by the Heavenly Origin Saint Master on the Ten Thousand Mile Demonic Mountains!”

The Great Mystery Saint Master was dumbfounded.

Are you kidding me?

Our Great Mystery Sacred Land poured countless resources into finally producing a Great Advancement powerhouse.

And he barely left the Sacred Land.

Not even long enough for a meal, and now you’re telling me… he’s dead?

How could that be?

The Great Mystery Saint Master couldn’t accept this reality.

But when he opened Immortal Net Weibo and saw the photos at the top of the trending page, like countless other cultivators, the Great Mystery Saint Master fell silent.

Elder Jinwu was truly dead.

And it only took Ye Chen a few punches to kill him.

At that moment, the Great Mystery Saint Master was filled with fear.

He was shocked that Ye Chen had broken through again in just five months, and even more shocked by Ye Chen’s incredible power.

To defeat a Great Advancement powerhouse so easily, even across such a vast realm difference…

It made one wonder: was there anything in this world that Ye Chen couldn’t do?

In his fear, the Great Mystery Saint Master felt a sliver of relief.

Fortunately, he’d been in seclusion healing and hadn’t gone himself.

Otherwise, he most likely wouldn’t have returned.

But still…

Thinking about how his sect had just produced such a rare Great Advancement powerhouse, only to have him perish on his very first outing, with countless resources wasted, was indeed painful.

Yet he quickly realized that his suffering was premature.

The Penalty Elder continued, “The Heavenly Origin Saint Master informed us on the Ten Thousand Miles Demonic Mountains, demanding we repay all the spirit stones within three days.

“This includes Elder Jinwu’s portion.

“Otherwise, he will auction off our Great Mystery Pavilions and all our resource points.”

The Great Mystery Saint Master’s mouth twitched.

The resources held by the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land were worth far more than five million high-grade spirit stones, providing a steady flow of income.

If they lost everything, the Great Mystery Sacred Land would truly go bankrupt.

“Pay up… Sell treasures to raise spirit stones.”

After all his scheming to evade payment, now he had to obediently repay the spirit stones, along with a hefty interest.

Most importantly, the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land now controlled countless resource sites.

All the treasures contained within had surely been taken by the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land.

Even if they repaid the spirit stones, there was no way the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land would return what they had seized.

It was a huge loss.

Not to mention, their Great Advancement powerhouse had fallen over a cultivation loan.

The seven million high-grade spirit stones used for his breakthrough had all gone to waste.

Adding it all up, the sect had lost at least ten million high-grade spirit stones.

Upon calculating this figure in his mind, the Great Mystery Saint Master’s face turned pale, and he coughed up blood.

His injuries worsened once more!
