"But... I''m a good person. How can I steal things?"

    Looking at the Buddha corpse, Qi Yuan murmured to himself.

    Although the Ten Thousand Saints Palace didn''t like this Buddha corpse and often hired Realm Lords to dissipate the Buddha light, it was still their property.

    However, at that moment, the Buddha corpse, which had been keeping its eyes shut, suddenly opened them.

    In its emotionless eyes, a raging killing intent spread.

    Outside the Wind Spirit Cloud, all the Realm Lords sensed this overwhelming killing intent and were momentarily stunned, some confused.

    "What''s going on?"

    "What happened?"

    "Such a strong killing intent!"

    Many Realm Lords trembled.

    Especially the Ghost Supreme Realm Lord. When he had first stepped into the Realm Lord level, he had been full of confidence, feeling that no one in the world could stop him.

    But now, just a wave of killing intent made him feel the threat of death.

    "Not good!" Old Fatty''s expression changed drastically, followed by anger.

    The palace master of the Ten Thousand Saints Palace also realized something and was filled with worry.

    If something happened to Qi Yuan in the Ten Thousand Saints Palace, the palace would likely be held responsible.

    Most importantly, the killing intent seemed to come from the Buddha corpse.

    There was... a hint of conspiracy in this.

    The killing intent came quickly and left just as fast.

    For an existence like the Buddha corpse, killing a Realm Lord could be done in an instant.

    Without hesitation, Old Fatty and the palace master of the Ten Thousand Saints Palace rushed into the Wind Spirit Cloud.

    But just then, a black light suddenly descended from the sky, shining on the two of them.

    "Black God Shield?"

    "Palace Master of the Black Profound Palace!"

    Old Fatty''s eyes widened in fury.

    The Black God Shield was a Realm Lord treasure of the Black Profound Palace, and not an ordinary one.

    There were rumors that when this Realm Lord treasure was being forged, it had listened to a Dao Lord''s teachings.

    This treasure was enough to trap a powerhouse like Old Fatty for a hundred breaths.

    The palace master of the Ten Thousand Saints Palace felt a chill run down his spine.

    With this setup, it was clear what was happening.

    He felt a sense of relief that the Black Profound Palace had targeted Qi Yuan.

    If they had targeted him...

    He would probably have been severely injured, if not killed, and the foundation of the Ten Thousand Saints Palace would have been handed over.

    Thankfully, it was Qi Yuan.

    He felt a sense of relief.

    However, he still angrily shouted: "The Black Profound Palace has gone too far!"

    "Heavenly Silkworm Scholar, let''s work together to destroy the Black God Shield!"

    Old Fatty glanced at the palace master of the Ten Thousand Saints Palace: "I hope you weren''t involved in this, otherwise..."

    Old Fatty coldly snorted and began to attack.

    The palace master of the Ten Thousand Saints Palace also attacked frantically, trying to break the Black God Shield.

    Meanwhile.

    Inside the Wind Spirit Cloud, a black shadow blotted out the sky, as if it were the only existence in the world.

    All light in the world disappeared.

    If an Yin God cultivator were here, they would suddenly find themselves blind.

    "The Buddha corpse has made its move. Even if he doesn''t die, he''ll be severely injured."

    "I don''t have much time, thirty breaths... I must kill him, or... capture him!"

    The palace master of the Black Profound Palace calculated in his heart.

    He moved deeper into the Wind Spirit Cloud. The closer he got, the more intense the killing intent became.

    Even he felt a great threat.

    Not to mention Qi Yuan, who had taken a hit from the Buddha corpse.

    So this time, Qi Yuan, the prodigy, was doomed.

    Time passed quickly. In the span of a breath, the palace master of the Black Profound Palace appeared in the deepest part of the Wind Spirit Cloud.

    "Where is he? Where is he hiding?" After scanning with his divine sense, the palace master of the Black Profound Palace didn''t find Qi Yuan.

    His heart tightened, immediately thinking that Qi Yuan might have been severely injured and was hiding somewhere, concealing his aura.

    "Break!"

    The palace master of the Black Profound Palace cast a divine ability, sweeping through the heavens.

    All living beings in the world would be revealed.

    But just then, a lazy voice came from the forbidden zone.

    "So you''re the one trying to ambush me, Palace Master of the Black Profound Palace?"

    "Just you? Didn''t the Palace Master of the White Profound Palace come?"

    The voice even carried a hint of disappointment.

    The palace master of the Black Profound Palace suddenly looked up, his gaze falling on the forbidden zone.

    He was stunned.

    In the forbidden zone.

    The massive Buddha corpse''s eyes were bleeding, and its Buddha robes were dim.

    On the shoulder of the Buddha corpse sat an exceptionally handsome young man, exuding a lazy aura.

    Qi Yuan?

    How was he sitting on the Buddha corpse?

    The palace master of the Black Profound Palace''s mind raced, filled with confusion.

    After all, the Buddha corpse was a terrifying existence that could easily kill him.

    Even if it awakened for just a breath, it could severely injure a Creation Realm Realm Lord.

    But now, Qi Yuan was not only unharmed but also sitting on the Buddha corpse.

    What was going on?

    "How did you do it?" The palace master of the Black Profound Palace was anxious, his thoughts in turmoil.

    Qi Yuan once again stood on the moral high ground.

    A terrifying giant hand pressed down on the palace master of the Black Profound Palace.

    The palace master of the Black Profound Palace was filled with despair.

    "All my scriptures, burn!"

    At this moment, he unleashed his most powerful attack.

    Dozens of Dao Lord scriptures burned simultaneously.

    His aura became sacred and vast.

    His power suddenly increased dozens of times.

    Such a terrifying attack could shatter the Milky Way.

    Such an attack could be unleashed ten thousand times in a single breath.

    "Confess and receive leniency, resist and face justice. The trial of justice!"

    Qi Yuan pushed out a palm.

    The terrifying defenses constructed by countless Dao Lord scriptures.

    Under this palm, they crumbled like rotten wood, turning to ash.

    The palace master of the Black Profound Palace''s body also shattered at this moment.

    His face showed disbelief.

    Until his death, he hadn''t expected to die here.

    After all, in the Primordial Council, Dao Lords couldn''t enter.

    He had already reached the pinnacle.

    Even if four or five leaders of the Myriad Transformations Society of the same level surrounded him, he could easily escape.

    Facing a strange existence like the Buddha corpse, as long as he didn''t get close, everything would be fine.

    Yet, he had truly died.

    Most importantly, this was the Primordial Council.

    Once the true spirit perished, it couldn''t be revived in the river of time.

    Death... was truly the end.

    "Thankfully, I controlled my strength. The Realm Lord treasures on his body are still intact."

    "Although they''re not worth much, they''re still resources. I''ll put them in my underworld."

    "My underworld is too empty."

    Qi Yuan murmured.

    He found three Realm Lord treasures on the palace master of the Black Profound Palace.

    As for Dao Lord scriptures, there were a total of forty-seven, a large number.

    "A windfall."

    At that moment, his gaze fell on the Black God Shield not far away.

    "Is Old Fatty having a secret rendezvous with the palace master of the Ten Thousand Saints Palace?"

    Without hesitation, he flicked his finger, and the Black God Shield appeared in his hand.

    Two powerful auras erupted, and Old Fatty and the palace master of the Ten Thousand Saints Palace both looked confused.

    When their eyes fell on the Buddha corpse and Qi Yuan sitting on its shoulder, both of them showed shock.

    "Qi Yuan, be careful of the Buddha corpse, be careful of the palace master of the Black Profound Palace!" Old Fatty quickly warned.

    If it weren''t for his fear of the Buddha corpse, he would have already grabbed Qi Yuan and fled.

    "Don''t worry, the Buddha corpse is dead. It won''t hurt anyone," Qi Yuan said seriously.

    This statement was akin to saying, "My dog is well-behaved, it won''t bite."

    The palace master of the Ten Thousand Saints Palace''s expression changed.

    He also knew the Buddha corpse was dead.

    "As for the palace master of the Black Profound Palace, he''s already dead," Qi Yuan said indifferently.

    Old Fatty quickly looked around. When he saw the familiar body, his eyes showed shock.

    The palace master of the Black Profound Palace... was dead?

    The palace master of the Ten Thousand Saints Palace was also stunned.

    The palace master of the Black Profound Palace was dead!

    Could it be...

    Many thoughts raced through his mind.

    Could it be that the palace master of the Black Profound Palace had been overconfident, trying to control the Buddha corpse to kill Qi Yuan.

    But instead, he was killed by the Buddha corpse.

    That was the only explanation.

    A powerhouse like the palace master of the Black Profound Palace couldn''t possibly die in the Primordial Council.

    If he were in a universe and encountered a Dao Lord''s death, that would be one thing.

    But this was the Primordial Council, where the fifth layer of Yang God couldn''t enter.

    "He came to assassinate me, and I acted in self-defense and killed him.

    Old man, since he came to kill me, now I''m going to the Black and White Profound Palaces to use their places of opportunity as compensation for my mental distress. They shouldn''t dare to stop me, right?" Qi Yuan said with a smile.

    Old Fatty took a deep breath.

    Originally, he had been thinking about how to save Qi Yuan and how to handle this matter.

    But now, things had become even more complicated.

    The palace master of the Black Profound Palace was dead.

    This was a major event.

    The members of the Myriad Transformations Society who had planned this... were probably in trouble.

    ...

    Meanwhile.

    Outside the White Profound Palace.

    The Heavenly Tang Realm Lord looked elegant: "Although we couldn''t kill the palace master of the White Profound Palace in this battle, we managed to lightly injure him and seize seven Dao Lord scriptures. This counts as a great victory."

    As he spoke, his face showed confidence.

    He was one of the three deputy leaders of the Myriad Transformations Society and one of the most promising candidates for the position of leader.

    "With these seven Dao Lord scriptures and this achievement, Fellow Daoist Heavenly Tang is sure to become the leader," a thin female Realm Lord flattered. "However, the Heavenly Silkworm Scholar might have some objections."

    The Heavenly Tang Realm Lord''s expression remained unchanged: "That Qi Yuan has some strength. He probably won''t die so easily. If he''s still alive, I''ll let him take a look at these seven Dao Lord scriptures as compensation."
