"It's Old Ancestor Yue Jinya, the founder of the Holy Talisman Path. This old guy has likely stepped into the ranks of a Seven Turns Saint.

As soon as he came back, he attacked me. If I didn't have a few tricks up my sleeve, I'd have been done for."

Xing Ga knows what kind of person Ding Huan is, so he didn't hide anything in Ding Huan's presence while speaking.

It really was Yue Jinya, and he's a Seven Turns Saint.

"Miss Yishang escaped, taking Jia Baihe with her. I only know she fled towards the Chaos Edge. I am really unsure where exactly."

Ding Huan frowned: "Old Ga, didn't you contact Yishang afterward?"

Xing Ga replied helplessly, "This old geezer Yue Jinya ambushed me, causing severe injuries, and I've been hiding to heal.

Now that I've just recovered, I came to meet you knowing you were coming.

Miss Yishang's cultivation is even stronger than mine. As long as Yue Jinya isn't hunting her down, she should be fine."

Ding Huan remained silent; he had also sent a message to Yishang, but she hadn't come over.

Perhaps Yishang didn't have a Teleportation Talisman, so it would take her longer to arrive.

Ding Huan opened his hand, and behind him, the Breaking Tribulation Blade appeared in his hand. He signaled Xing Ga and Qian Yao to step aside.

Then the Breaking Tribulation Blade was wielded, with its violent killing aura being frantically absorbed by the weapon.

Even the cultivators some distance away from Blue Star Academy could feel that terrifying killing aura at this moment.

An infinite killing intent converged; the momentum of Ding Huan's strike was continuously rising.

In the distance, Qian Yao frowned slightly; Ding Huan's strength seemed to increase every moment.

If she intended to take action, she needed to do it quickly; she absolutely could not delay too long.

Once this person grows, she feared she wouldn't even see his back, let alone seize the Heavenly Opening Nine Paths Bamboo from him.

With that in mind, her gaze fell upon Xing Ga.

If only Xing Ga would help.

She quickly made up her mind that Xing Ga, being an old friend, also hailed from the Great Universe.

As long as she gave Xing Ga some benefits and made it clear that helping her was more advantageous than helping Ding Huan,

then Xing Ga would have a good possibility of assisting her.

The killing aura of Ding Huan's Breaking Tribulation Blade became increasingly formidable, engulfing the entire Holy Talisman Path Sect, causing all the cultivators to fearfully rush out of their cave mansions.

In the face of this killing aura that could take their lives at any moment, who dared stay in the sect?

Boom!

The Breaking Tribulation Blade finally fell from the void.

The Sword Force brought by the Sword Curtain seemed like a rift tearing a cosmos apart, splitting the Holy Talisman Path in two.

At this moment, all Protecting Arrays of the Holy Talisman Path were torn in half by Ding Huan, and the three Dao Rhythms of the Holy Talisman Path were reduced to dust under his blade.

Under the Sword Curtain lay a deep gorge, spanning hundreds of thousands of miles.

The Killing Dao Rhythm emanated from the gorge, conveying an aura of oppression and death.

Cultivators with weaker cultivations would be crushed to death if they approached the Dao Rhythm gorge.

Qian Yao and Xing Ga squinted slightly.

They could see more clearly than others that the gorge cleaved by Ding Huan not only had a death aura but also emanated endless Poison Dao Law Rhythms.

It was certain that in one or two hundred years, the surrounding areas within millions of miles would be uninhabitable.

If living conditions were impossible, let alone establishing a sect or cultivating in seclusion here.

Qian Yao gazed at Ding Huan's back, thinking to herself that this man was even more ruthless than those two guys.

Once offended, can it really end well?

If someone must offend him, it could only be a total eradication.

Hundreds of shadows rushed out from the Holy Talisman Path Sect, with a middle-aged man heading the charge, one who Ding Huan did not recognize, with the power of a Second Transformation Saint.

Behind this middle-aged man was none other than Zhuo Hong.

Zhuo Hong progressed rapidly, already in the late God Unification Realm.

"Sect... Ding Huan..." Zhuo Hong exclaimed in shock when she saw Ding Huan.

She knew that perhaps only their old ancestor's appearance could suppress the matter today.

She understood Ding Huan's nature better than others.

This was definitely not someone easy to bully.

Although Blue Star Academy was established on the territory of the Holy Talisman Path, the truth was that the Holy Talisman Path had long been annihilated.

So long as Blue Star Academy could deal with the sect that destroyed the Holy Talisman Path, establishing a sect here was no issue.

On the contrary, Blue Star Academy even avenged the Holy Talisman Path.

Stepping back, Blue Star Academy was invited by her, Zhuo Hong, to establish a sect here.

Holy Talisman Path's old ancestor Yue Jinya forcefully occupied Blue Star Academy, killing hundreds of its loyal disciples.

Not only that, Yue Jinya directly turned Blue Star Academy into the Holy Talisman Path.

Thinking of Ding Huan's domineering methods, Zhuo Hong felt a sense of dread.

She worried if the old ancestor could handle Ding Huan.

She assumed Ding Huan wouldn't return, especially since he left without leaving behind his Great Dao heritage.

Why has he returned here again?

"Are you Ding Huan?" The middle-aged man finally recognized Ding Huan.

Though he hadn't seen Ding Huan before, Ding Huan's statue had been in this place forever.

Ding Huan ignored the middle-aged man and stared at Zhuo Hong:

"Zhuo Hong, I must admit, you have a lot of courage."

"Mr. Ding, my Holy Talisman Path's founding ancestor has returned. I am a disciple of the Holy Talisman Path. I know I did wrong in this matter, I apologize to you..."

Ding Huan interrupted Zhuo Hong, "You did not wrong me; you wronged yourself."

Zhuo Hong was taken aback, what did she have to reproach herself for?

Even if Ding Huan came today, he would be powerless against her, right?

The Ancestor was merely in seclusion, surely by now he had heard the news, he could come out at any time.

"Vows are not so easily made..."

Ding Huan sneered.

Zhuo Hong frowned, "I didn't make any vows, I just said that I would never betray the Blue Star Academy, and now the Blue Star Academy is no more..."

What she implied was that it wasn't her who destroyed the Blue Star Academy.

Moreover, she merely stated that she would never betray the Blue Star Academy; she didn't vow any consequences for betrayal.

Ding Huan didn't even bother to speak.

If making vows in his presence could be broken so easily, then he might as well not practice the Great Universe Technique or merge with the myriad laws of the universe.

Before Zhuo Hong's voice faded, she felt her Great Dao beginning to collapse.

Not only that, her meridians started to shatter, her Sea of Consciousness showing cracks...

The aura of death filled her entire body and mind.

Zhuo Hong was utterly terrified; she was not the loyal and devoted type.

Whether working for the Blue Star Academy or for the Holy Talisman Dao, her first priority was always to continuously improve her strength.

Clearly, after swearing, even though she hadn't mentioned any consequences of betrayal, the current situation was a blatant fulfillment of her vow.

It seemed as if the most feared repercussions that cultivators dreaded were all thrust upon her.

She didn't need to ask to know it was Ding Huan's doing.

Ding Huan had surely imposed the Dao Principles onto her vow when she made it.

"Master, save me..." Blood began to flow from Zhuo Hong's seven orifices as she frantically cried out, hoping Yue Jinya would come to her aid.

A gray figure rushed out, landing in front of Ding Huan.

He glanced at Qian Yao but did not strike immediately.

He could sense that Qian Yao's strength was not inferior to his own.

Furthermore, considering the Blue Star Academy Master Ding Huan, whom he had heard about but never seen, he decided to proceed with caution.

It was said that Ding Huan was a ruthless man; he wanted to see what kind of ruthlessness characterized Ding Huan.

"Master, save me..." Seeing her master Yue Jinya approaching, Zhuo Hong struggled to call out once more.

Her Sea of Consciousness was already collapsing, and so was her Great Dao World.

In addition, her soul, soul thoughts, and Dao thoughts were rapidly disintegrating and vanishing.

It was certain that without anyone stepping in to help her, her Divine Soul would be utterly destroyed, with no chance of reincarnation.

"Zhuo Hong, this is the backlash of your vow, and my current abilities cannot interfere with the Heavenly Dao Rules..."

Yue Jinya's words filled Zhuo Hong with despair.

She quickly remembered Ding Huan: "Sect Master Ding, I beg you to save me; if you are willing to save me, my life will be yours."

Ding Huan spoke indifferently: "Firstly, this is the fulfillment of a Heavenly Dao vow, do you think I can control the Heavenly Dao of the Chunyi Divine Realm?

Secondly, what value does your life have to me? The weakest cultivation by my side is a Saint, what can someone at the God Unification Realm do for me?

Lastly, who would believe the words of a backstabber?"

Upon hearing Ding Huan's words, Zhuo Hong felt an even deeper sense of despair; if given another chance, she would rather fall than choose to betray the Blue Star Academy.

After all, after falling, she would still have the opportunity for reincarnation, but now, her Divine Soul would be annihilated.

Kua Chen, standing nearby, also felt a jolt in his heart after hearing Ding Huan's words.

What did Ding Huan's words mean?

Could it be that he knows I'm not at the God Unification Realm?

However, he quickly dismissed this speculation.

His Concealing Technique was such that even a Nine Transformation Saint couldn't detect it, let alone Ding Huan.

Furthermore, based on Ding Huan's strength, he had previously speculated that Ding Huan had just achieved Sainthood.

But that strike Ding Huan made earlier was terrifying, even though he was certain his cultivation was stronger than Ding Huan's.

He was sure he couldn't produce such a strike.

At that moment, Zhuo Hong turned into a pool of blood, which then disappeared without a trace.

Witnessing Zhuo Hong's fate, Qian Yao felt a slight shiver.

She, too, had made a vow before.

She believed the vows in this low-level plane wouldn't affect her, but there was always a chance.

After all, she was not yet an Eternal Saint.

In a low-level plane, it is possible for a Seven Transformation Saint to emerge.

Since it's possible for a Seven Transformation Saint to emerge, it's also possible for her to be affected by a vow.

Some disciples and elders who were originally from the Blue Star Academy, upon seeing the former second Deputy Sect Master of the Blue Star Academy be obliterated by the Heavenly Dao vow, were terrified.

They feared that once Ding Huan suppressed the ancestor of the Holy Talisman Dao, he would seek revenge on them.

"Ding Huan, hand over the Eternal Life Talisman, and I can spare your life." Yue Jinya stared coldly at Ding Huan.

In his eyes, even if Qian Yao were a Seven Transformation Saint, it would not deter him.

Back then, even Quan couldn't gain the slightest advantage over him; he wouldn't fear a mere junior.

"Lao Min, Lao Ga, go and destroy the Holy Dao Talisman. Fellow Taoist Qian Yao, you can attack now; I'll be here to assist you." Ding Huan completely ignored Yue Jinya's words.

He had come today to see the Holy Talisman Dao become part of cosmic history.
