This move had been formed by fusing the movement of the stars and divine power with the destructive nature of spiritual flames.

Ethan could clearly feel the terrifying power contained within it.

It was dense.

Compressed.

Unstable.

If he poured all his strength into detonating that starburst, even an Ultimate Supreme would be erased in a single strike—body, soul, everything reduced to nothing.

"Disperse."

With a single thought, the star in Ethan's palm began to rotate counterclockwise.

The arcs flickered violently.

Divine power collapsed inward.

Flame power followed.

The miniature star system disintegrated silently, extinguishing itself before catastrophe could unfold.

"Hah…"

Ethan exhaled deeply.

His breath was slightly disordered.

This self-created technique was already comparable to a divine-grade spiritual technique.

Forcefully interrupting it caused backlash—if his body were weaker, his meridians would have shattered on the spot.

Fortunately, his physique had already stepped into the realm of monsters.

The backlash merely disrupted his breathing for a moment.

Ethan lowered his hand and vanished from the cave.

When he reappeared, he was already standing outside.

Ten days had passed.

During these ten days, his perception had never left the outside world.

Three days ago, Ashira and his master had fully refined the power of Great Dao bestowed by the Supreme Tribulation. Both had successfully crossed the threshold and stepped into the Supreme realm.

The moment Ethan emerged, figures began arriving from all directions.

The first to arrive was Solara.

"Dad, you're finally out of seclusion." She tilted her head slightly.

"What should we do with those two women?"

Solara had grown up.

She was no longer the small girl who clung to his sleeve.

She wore a crimson dress, crystal shoes on her feet. Her fiery red hair cascaded down her waist, her features bright and charming. Her red eyes—like bloodstones—shimmered with a lively, dangerous beauty.

"Keep watching them," Ethan replied calmly.

"I'll deal with them later."

He then looked toward the horizon.

Two streaks of light—one cyan, one purple—cut through the sky.

Ashira and his master had arrived.

Ashira's appearance had not changed much after her breakthrough.

She still wore her usual robes. Her figure was tall, her face delicate. Her long hair flowed softly, and under the sunlight, a faint dark-azure radiance shimmered—an unmistakable sign of her awakened bloodline.

"Ashira," Ethan said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for years. You've become a demon lord."

"Compared to Senior Brother Ethan," Ashira replied gently, "I'm still far behind."

Ethan nodded and turned to Ash Burn.

He clasped his hands respectfully.

"Disciple Ethan greets Master."

"You brat," Ash Burn said, laughing.

"You're already someone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with heaven and earth."

He examined Ethan closely.

Then his smile deepened.

He could no longer see through Ethan's realm at all.

That alone explained everything.

Back then, he had known Ethan was no ordinary fish in the pond.

But even he hadn't expected Ethan to grow this fast.

Ash Burn had secluded himself for decades, exhausting every method just to step into the Supreme realm.

Yet Ethan had already surpassed him.

"Master has also stepped into the Supreme realm," Ethan said calmly.

"That puts this disciple at ease."

"You little monster," Ash Burn laughed.

"With your strength, there are probably few in Skyreach Territory who can match you."

"For an old man like me," he continued, "being able to see Azure Origin Dao Sect revive in my lifetime is more than enough."

His lifespan had greatly increased after becoming Supreme.

White hair had turned jet-black.

His aura was sharp and steady—like an unsheathed sword.

"The Demon Sealing Cave has been cleared," Ethan said, his tone turning serious.

"All invaders were killed."

"But the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets and the Vernal Dawn Dynasty won't let this go. They'll return sooner or later."

"The sect's crisis is temporarily resolved, but people's hearts are unstable."

"I plan to reorganize the sect."

"What does Master think?"

Ash Burn walked over and placed a hand on Ethan's shoulder.

"I'm old," he said simply.

"From now on, Azure Origin Dao Sect is yours."

"As for Lyralei and Seraphina… I didn't suffer what you suffered."

"So whatever you decide," he said quietly, "I won't interfere."

"Disciple understands."

Ethan bowed.

When he had been imprisoned beneath Serene Mirror Lake, the elders of the Demon Sealing Cave had protected him.

The Supreme Elder had even recognized his talent and taken him in.

He had not forgotten any of it.

Soon, more figures arrived.

Edwin.

Liana.

Mr. Stone.

The elders of the Demon Sealing Cave.

Ethan turned to Elder Azel and cupped his hands.

"Please inform everyone in Azure Origin Dao Sect to gather at the Holy Peak in one hour."

"No one is to be absent."

"I have something important to announce."

Elder Azel nodded solemnly.

"Solara," Ethan said, "bring that master-and-disciple pair to the Holy Hall."

"Okay, Daddy."

Ethan then left and arrived atop the Holy Peak.

He stood at the summit, hands behind his back, overlooking the land.

Disciples streamed toward the mountain from every direction.

This was the foundation left by his master.

The roots guarded by Mr. Stone and the elders.

The home of Junior Sister Liana.

He would not abandon it.

The worms within the sect had mostly been purged.

Now came restructuring.

Reforging.

The Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets would return.

The Vernal Dawn Dynasty would retaliate.

The demons in the Blackspire mountains were watching silently.

Danger lay everywhere.

But Ethan did not fear it.

With the resources he possessed, nurturing a superpower was entirely possible.

Iris's storage ring alone contained a holy-grade formation.

He would leave two Supreme puppets here.

He would leave the holy-grade formation to his master.

With Ashira, his master, two Supremes, and a holy-grade formation, any enemy below the Ultimate Supreme would be dealt with.

Even if a true crisis emerged—

He could activate the teleportation anchor and return instantly.

Ethan was already planning further.

He intended to find a supreme realm formation master and ask him to help build a long-distance teleportation formation from the Azure Origin Dao Sect to Noble Sun City.
