Chapter 220

“Finally, he’s gone!” The Vermilion Bird Clan Leader collapsed into his chair, drenched in sweat.

He hadn’t felt this level of tension in a long time. Not even when he had once faced the will of a Great Emperor did he feel such dread. This experience was unprecedented—both intensely nerve-wracking and utterly despairing. He swore to himself that he never wanted to feel like this again. It was too hopeless.

Just then, a voice broke the silence.

“What a pity. Why didn’t the Great Accomplishment Physique stop?” It was the voice of the Golden-Winged Roc Clan Leader, Jin Yuan. His tone carried an obvious sense of regret, and his words echoed through the void.

Upon hearing this, the Vermilion Bird Clan Leader’s expression darkened.

“You seem very eager for the Great Accomplishment Physique to stop here, Jin Yuan!” he snapped, his voice cold.

“Of course,” Jin Yuan replied without hesitation. “And I’m not the only one. I imagine many other forces were hoping the same—that the Great Accomplishment Physique would stop at your Vermilion Bird Clan.”

“After all, your clan has already been severely weakened. Rather than struggling on, it might be better for you to sacrifice yourselves for the sake of the ancient imperial clans.”

Perhaps because of the heavy blow that the Vermilion Bird Clan had already suffered, Jin Yuan no longer held back. In the past, the Golden-Winged Roc Clan had been inferior to the Vermilion Bird Clan and would have shown them some respect. But now that the tables had turned, he saw no need to care about their dignity.

While his words were harsh, they reflected the cruel reality.

“Stop talking nonsense. We don’t share that thought!” The Qilin Clan Leader spoke softly.

Though he harbored similar thoughts, he didn’t want to push things too far and risk completely severing ties. After all, if the Vermilion Bird Clan went mad, they might drag others down with them, just like the Golden Crow Clan.

“I’ve never had such intentions!” A powerful figure from the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan added. Their sentiments were the same.

Although the Vermilion Bird Clan had declined, they still possessed a supreme divine weapon, like a ticking time bomb. If they were pushed too hard, the consequences could be disastrous for everyone involved.

“Why are you all afraid of them?” Jin Yuan scoffed. “The Vermilion Bird Clan is no longer a threat!”

His tone was filled with disdain. Unlike the others, Jin Yuan was more confident and didn’t see the Vermilion Bird Clan as a concern. This infuriated the Vermilion Bird Clan Leader, who clenched his teeth in anger.

“Jin Yuan, we will remember today’s words!” the Vermilion Bird Clan Leader spat through gritted teeth. “You had better pray that our clan never returns to its peak, because when we do, we will repay this a hundredfold!”

Before Jin Yuan could respond, the Vermilion Bird Clan Leader cut him off. “And don’t bother reminding me of our current state again. If you keep this up, we’ll make sure to drag down another clan with us, just like the Golden Crow Clan did!”

“I’d like to see if your Golden-Winged Roc Clan can withstand the might of the Vermilion Bird Clan!” The Vermilion Bird Clan Leader’s patience had long been worn thin.

The recent events, the losses of powerful members, and Jin Yuan’s continuous provocation had pushed him to the brink. Unable to hold back any longer, he unleashed his fury directly at Jin Yuan.

Hearing these words, Jin Yuan hesitated and fell silent. Though he had been mocking the Vermilion Bird Clan, he knew that if they truly went mad, his Golden-Winged Roc Clan would struggle to cope. They didn’t have the deep roots or powerful backing of a force like the Primordial Holy Land.

After considering the situation, Jin Yuan realized that continuing this confrontation would be unwise for him or his clan. It would bring no benefits.

Soon enough, the void returned to silence.

“Keep going! Why did you stop?” The Pure Yang Holy Master seemed a bit anxious when the confrontation came to an abrupt halt.

“Jin Yuan, what are you afraid of with the Vermilion Bird Clan? If they dare to make a move, we from the Pure Yang Holy Land can back you up!” He was clearly disappointed that the show ended just when he got involved.

“Shut up!” Jin Yuan roared. While he didn’t dare provoke the Vermilion Bird Clan, he wasn’t afraid to deal with the Pure Yang Holy Land. “Pure Yang Holy Master, I suggest you keep your mouth shut!”

“Or what?” The Pure Yang Holy Master chuckled, not even waiting for Jin Yuan to finish. “Are you going to make a move against my Pure Yang Holy Land? To be honest, I’d love to see you try! You should act, or don’t blame everyone here for looking down on you.”

The Qin Emperor, watching the tension rise, added fuel to the fire with a laugh. “Jin Yuan, what’s there to be afraid of? The Pure Yang Holy Land doesn’t even rank among the top human sects. What’s the Golden-Winged Roc Clan afraid of? If you make a move, what is a mere Pure Yang Holy Land to you? Won’t it be easily crushed?”

Despite their taunts, Jin Yuan remained silent. He wasn’t a fool. The words spoken were partly driven by emotion, but if he really made a move, the situation could escalate badly.

He knew very well that the Pure Yang Holy Land had the support of the Primordial Holy Land. The close relationship between the two sects meant that any conflict with the Pure Yang Holy Land would drag the Primordial Holy Land into it as well.

“You Golden-Winged Rocs are just like the Azure Dragon Clan—bullies of the weak, cowards against the strong!” The Vermilion Bird Clan Leader sneered, clearly seeing through Jin Yuan’s reluctance.

He knew that Jin Yuan was backing down, not because of his own fear, but because the Primordial Holy Son was behind the Pure Yang Holy Land. The Golden-Winged Roc Clan wouldn’t dare to make a move.

As for the verbal exchanges, Jin Yuan wasn’t a match for them either—especially not against the Pure Yang Holy Land. The successors of that Holy Land were known for their sharp tongues. Though their words were obnoxious, they were unbeatable in verbal confrontations.

“This is so boring! I thought you’d have more guts!” The Pure Yang Holy Master expressed his dissatisfaction. He had expected Jin Yuan to stand his ground, but after just a few words, Jin Yuan had been silenced. There was no fun in that.

“Without the Primordial Holy Land backing you, what is your Pure Yang Holy Land worth?” Jin Yuan retorted angrily. The continuous mockery had finally gotten to him, and he couldn’t help but fire back a few words.

“You could also find some backing. The True Dragon Clan or the Undying Phoenix Clan wouldn’t be bad options!” The Pure Yang Holy Master casually remarked. Everyone knew that the Pure Yang Holy Land and the Primordial Holy Land were as close as one entity.

This close relationship allowed the Pure Yang Holy Land to act so arrogantly. In recent years, the increasing strength of the Primordial Holy Land had only bolstered the confidence and status of the Pure Yang Holy Land.

But finding support from the True Dragon Clan? They were already struggling to protect themselves. As for the Undying Phoenix Clan, while powerful, they couldn’t compare to the Primordial Holy Land.

If Jin Yuan sought their help, they would likely sever ties with him immediately—they wouldn’t want to become a target of the Primordial Holy Land.

Meanwhile, the Great Accomplishment Physique moved across the endless void, passing over the lairs of various ancient imperial clans without slowing down, always advancing forward.

Ahead, an exceptionally prominent small world appeared. It was like a True Dragon soaring in the sky, and its powerful aura left all who saw it in awe.

It was the small world of the True Dragon Clan! Could the Great Accomplishment Physique’s opponent be the True Dragon Clan?

The onlookers were stunned. None of them had expected the Great Accomplishment Physique’s target to be the True Dragon Clan—an ancient race that had remained hidden for tens of thousands of years.

“Why has the Great Accomplishment Physique set its sights on the True Dragon Clan?”

“The True Dragon Clan is in trouble!”

The crowd was utterly shocked. No one had anticipated this outcome.

At that same moment, the once calm and composed Huang Tian stood up, his eyes blazing with intensity.
