Fortunately, not a single monk dared to make a move against Bai Yan.

After all, the scene where Bai Yan annihilated a Quasi-Saint powerhouse with a snap of his fingers had truly occurred right before their eyes.

Using this time, Bai Yan was frantically extracting energy from the bodies of two hundred thousand Demons, quickly returning to normal after a short while.

"Who dares to commit violence in my Divine Sword Sect!"

At this moment, an angry, stern voice traveled from the horizon.

All the appraising monks felt as if thunder had struck their ears, their faces turning exceedingly pale.

The crowd looked towards the source of the sound, only to see a supreme being enveloped in Divine Radiance, standing in the Void.

He stood there quietly, yet he gave off the feeling of a sword that could pierce the blue heavens.

His body possessed a mysterious rhythm that echoed the Giant Sword standing in the center of the Divine Sword Star Domain.

"Good heavens! It's the Sect Master of the Divine Sword Sect—legend has it that only the Sect Master could borrow the power of that Giant Sword!"

Someone recognized the identity of this powerful figure, exclaiming in surprise.

"Greetings to the Sect Master."

Hundreds of thousands of monks knelt down in unison, bowing their heads in utmost respect to the Divine Sword Manor Master.

"Why did you injure my Sect's elder?"

The Sect Master of the Divine Sword Sect, Li Qingxuan, looked at Bai Yan with a dark expression.

To injure an elder of the Divine Sword Sect right in front of its gates was tantamount to a blatant slap to his face, Li Qingxuan.

If it were not for the presence of these several tens of thousands of assessing monks, Li Qingxuan would have already made his move to Suppress Bai Yan without any further inquiry.

His actions were meant to present the image of the Divine Sword Sect as a bastion of integrity and a righteous lineage in front of everyone.

"Firstly, it was your appraisal elder who struck first without any cause, interfering in my confrontation with the Heavenly Pride of the Star Rain Clan."

Bai Yan spoke indifferently.

"The responsibility of an appraisal elder is to maintain the order of the assessment plaza. It was natural for him to intervene when you were fighting others on the plaza."

Li Qingxuan said.

"There is another reason. I never need a reason to kill! Because my surname is Bai, the Bai of Senior Bai!"

Bai Yan said, as he casually launched a Sword Rampage imbued with the Rule Power of 'All Things Kill'.

"Swish!"

A piercing Sword Rampage cut straight towards Li Qingxuan.

"Senior Bai?"

Li Qingxuan murmured with a puzzled expression, then reached out barehanded to catch the Sword Rampage from Bai Yan.

He was a supreme entity, among the very top tier of cultivators in the Endless Star Sea, and even the attacks of legendary monks could not break through his Divine Radiance.

"Puff~!"

A faint sound came from Li Qingxuan's hand, and he slowly looked down to see a minute wound on his palm.

Impossible!

Li Qingxuan's face was filled with utter shock; his body had long been tempered to the utmost limit by the Cosmic Rules, not even a Saint Realm powerhouse could harm him in the slightest!

"Wait! He said his surname is Bai, Senior Bai!"

In an instant, Li Qingxuan understood, followed by an expression of great horror.

For he felt a Rule Power from that Sword Rampage that was even more perfected than the core Cultivation Technique of the Divine Sword Sect!

He had long heard that a powerful being of the Human Race, known as Senior Bai, had re-emerged in a second life ten thousand years ago, to such an extent that even the leaders of the Purple Cliff Mountain and the Martial Saint Pavilion had personally visited him.

He too, wanted to find an opportunity to visit, but he had been preoccupied with the affairs of the Hundred Sects competition and had not found the time.

Yet unexpectedly, this Senior Bai was now standing right before him!

"Clang~~"

"How audacious! To dare strike at the Sect Master himself, you must be tired of living!"

Seeing this, a Quasi-Saint Elder following behind Li Qingxuan immediately drew his sword.

"Stop!"

Li Qingxuan roared furiously, then with a palm strike seriously injured the Elder.

"I was unaware of Senior Bai's visit, please forgive me for not welcoming you from afar."

Under everyone's gaze, Li Qingxuan landed on the ground and deeply knelt before Bai Yan!

"My heavens, the Sect Master of the Divine Sword Sect is actually kneeling before a legendary cultivator..."

In an instant, hundreds of thousands of Monks were utterly shocked into silence.

That is Li Qingxuan, the most fearsome Sword Cultivator in the Endless Star Sea!

Ordinarily, even speaking against him would result in execution.

Yet now, he is kneeling to a seemingly insignificant legendary cultivator.

"Sect Master! He's just a legendary cultivator, how could you..."

The inspecting elder asked Li Qingxuan with unwillingness and confusion.

"Hmph, you even dared to strike at Senior Bai, you deserve death!"

Li Qingxuan looked at the inspecting elder, forming a Sword Rampage with his hand as a blade.

"Swish~!"

The inspecting elder was merely a Quasi-Saint Level Monk, no match for a supreme being, and he was struck down, soul scattered and full of doubts, without even having a chance to speak.

"I, Bai Yan, am merely a minor character, I cannot accept such a grand gesture from you, Sect Master."

Bai Yan said calmly.

"It is my own lack of insight that led to my failure to recognize Senior Bai's identity, I ask for your forgiveness."

Without Bai Yan's permission, Li Qingxuan dared not stand up, continuing to kneel and apologizing profusely.

Although Li Qingxuan is a supreme being, at this moment, in front of Bai Yan, he didn't dare to overstep in the slightest.

Because he knew that the founder of the Divine Sword Sect had only managed to establish it and make it flourish from a chance inheritance of a sliver of Sword Dao from Bai Yan.

If we talk about seniority, Bai Yan could be considered the Master's Master of the Divine Sword Sect's founder.

Indeed, he is the true Ancestral Master!

"You, sever one of your arms, and I will spare your life."

Bai Yan did not pay attention to Li Qingxuan, instead turning his gaze to the Quasi-Saint Elder who had drawn his sword on him.

"You... I..."

That elder, despite his impulse to strike at Bai Yan, hesitated upon seeing Li Qingxuan kneeling before Bai Yan.

"Senior Bai's word is my command, are you really forcing me to act?"

Li Qingxuan turned his head and scolded the elder.

"This disciple obeys!"

The elder dared not defy Li Qingxuan's order, and with his sword, he severed his own left arm.

"Forget it, ignorance is not guilt, you may rise."

Seeing Li Qingxuan so earnest, Bai Yan did not want to hold him accountable.

"Thank you, Senior."

Li Qingxuan rose as if pardoned, then respectfully bowed to Bai Yan, gesturing for him to precede, "Please, Senior."

Bai Yan didn't dally and directly led the way towards the Divine Sword Sect, with Li Qingxuan following after some distance behind.

After all the elders of the Divine Sword Sect had left, the examining Monks immediately erupted into a frenzy of discussion.

They were all guessing Bai Yan's origins, even the supreme being Li Qingxuan had to treat him with such respect.

Every Monk there committed Bai Yan's figure to memory, vowing never to cross this white-robed cultivator.
