In the Western Region, there was a ghost cave filled with human puppets. On a cliff, a palace made entirely of various limbs and resembling a ferocious ghost skeleton stood ominously. Surrounding the cliffs were countless caves, each one the abode of a cultivator from the Human Puppet Ghost Cave sect. These densely packed caves covered the entire cliff, and many cultivators leaped back and forth between them.
Under the silent night sky, the bright moon hung high, shrouded by dark clouds. Ning Yechen's figure quietly appeared in the sky above the Human Puppet Ghost Cave, overlooking the top sect built on the cliff. He whispered softly, "Let's start from here..."
Ning Yechen was very principled in his actions. If anyone harmed his loved ones, he would show no mercy. Since they had hurt his wife and threatened his child, the four major sects in this world would disappear from existence.
Though he could have left it to the Chaos Demon Bull and the others, it would have been too inefficient. Ning Yechen decided to handle it himself, solving it quickly and effectively. He had other matters to attend to.
Raising his arm, a small flame instantly appeared in his palm. The flame expanded rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, a huge fireball with a diameter of tens of feet formed in his hand. The fireball was as hot as the sun, distorting the surrounding void, with flames flowing on its surface like fire dragons. The dazzling light illuminated the entire night sky.
The temperature around the Human Puppet Ghost Cave rose rapidly. All the cultivators noticed something strange and emerged from their caves, looking up at the sky in astonishment.
"What's going on?"
"Is it daybreak?"
"I just closed my eyes for a moment."
"Why is the sun so close today...?"
"No...! Look, that's a person!"
"Someone is using magic!"
Everyone in the Human Puppet Ghost Cave saw Ning Yechen's figure and their faces turned pale with fear. They knew that whoever could wield such terrifying and powerful magic was a formidable foe. If the fireball in his hand were to hit, the entire ghost cave would be annihilated.
Several figures immediately emerged from the ghost cave hall and hurriedly approached Ning Yechen.
"May I ask who the senior is?"
"Why have you visited our Human Puppet Ghost Cave so late at night?"
"Senior, if you have something to say, could you please put away your magic first?"
Several elders from the Human Puppet Ghost Cave spoke politely to Ning Yechen. As they got closer, they realized how terrifying the fireball in Ning Yechen's hands was. The intense heat made it almost impossible to breathe, their bodies drenched in sweat, and even their robes began to burn and melt. The most terrifying thing was that the fireball continued to expand.
"Senior, I wonder how our Human Puppet Ghost Cave has offended you?" the great elder, Gui Zi, asked respectfully. He hoped to delay things until their ancestor returned. Otherwise, this fireball would destroy the entire ghost cave.
Ning Yechen glanced at them coldly and said calmly, "Your ancestor will not come back. And from today on, the Human Puppet Ghost Cave will disappear from the world."
"What?!" Everyone was shocked. Their ancestor had been killed? And this person intended to destroy their entire sect!
"Attack! Stop him!" Gui Zi shouted. Several elders simultaneously launched their magic weapons at Ning Yechen.
Ning Yechen looked at them dismissively, holding the fireball high with one hand and keeping his other hand behind him. He remained motionless as several fire dragons sprang out from the fireball, attacking the elders.
"Ahhh!" The fire dragons swallowed everyone, including their life treasures, leaving them powerless to resist. With several screams, all the elders from the top sects were turned to ashes.
The disciples of the Human Puppet Ghost Cave were stunned, unable to believe what they were witnessing. Their elders, each with the cultivation level of a god, were killed without any resistance.
The first to react immediately fled in panic. Ning Yechen gently dropped the fireball in his hand, and it instantly covered the entire ghost cave, leaving no escape.
Before the fireball hit, the intense heat wave reduced countless people to ashes. When the fireball finally struck, the Human Puppet Ghost Cave melted instantly, along with everything within a hundred-foot radius. Only a huge abyss remained on the ground, heat rising from the giant pit, and the scorching residual power enough to keep all surrounding creatures away.
At this point, the Human Puppet Ghost Cave disappeared from the world. Simultaneously, the World Confucian Palace in the Eastern Region was razed to the ground by ten thousand immortal thunders. The Qingfeng Sword Sect in the Central Region was annihilated by a sword, leaving only a sword gully stretching for hundreds of feet. The Martial Arts Temple in the Southern Region was completely suppressed by a majestic mountain, replacing the entire temple.
Overnight, all four major sects in the world were destroyed. Three soul incarnations flew back to Ning Yechen from various places and merged into his body.
At this moment, dozens of immortal thunders struck Ning Yechen's body under the night sky. Each immortal thunder had the power to tear the void apart. This was the restraint and punishment of the rules of the human world, the balance of heaven.
In the human world, cultivation strength could only reach the peak of the immortal realm. Even if beings from other realms entered, they had to suppress their cultivation. If their strength exceeded the peak of the Immortal Realm, Heavenly Dao would rain down Immortal Thunder to destroy them.
But this only applied if the divine power of heaven was stronger than the person. If the person's cultivation strength surpassed the divine power of heaven, these rules had no effect on them. For example, Ning Yechen.
Facing dozens of immortal thunders, Ning Yechen was unfazed. He was accustomed to Heavenly Dao's attempts to restrain him. After every action, Heavenly Dao would try to punish him; it had become routine.
Ning Yechen's body was wrapped in a dark spiritual shield. The immortal thunders struck the shield but did not even crack it. Once the immortal thunders ceased, Ning Yechen leisurely put away the shield.
Perhaps because he used his divine soul incarnations to cast four immortal spells simultaneously, the immortal thunder was more powerful this time. But it still fell short.
After dealing with the four major sects, Ning Yechen looked up at the sky and once again turned into a divine rainbow, rushing into the sky. It was almost time to return to the immortal world.
