With Zhao Ritian's liberation, everyone staying in the Jade Flower Immortal Sect felt an unprecedented fear. The man before them, bound in iron chains, was definitely the most terrifying being they had ever encountered. Even in his presence, some found it difficult even to stand.

Thunderbolts roared continuously in the sky, as if even the heavens wanted to obliterate this man in chains. Yet, the thunder was loud, but the raindrops were few. Not a single bolt struck down, and before long, the gathering storm clouds dissipated entirely.

Xu Nian also frowned as he stared at Zhao Ritian, trying to gauge his Power. In terms of aura alone, this man could absolutely crush them all. However, this didn't necessarily indicate his true strength. The Demon Emperor, for instance, was immensely powerful, yet his aura showed almost no fluctuation. It seems I'll have to test this person's strength myself.

"Comfortable! It's the first time in many years that I've felt this comfortable!"

Zhao Ritian laughed heartily, coming to his senses and scanning the people around him. Noticing races other than the Human Race, he also appeared somewhat surprised.

After a long moment, his gaze fell upon Haoran Academy.

Many Great Confucian Scholars from Haoran Academy remained silent, wracking their brains to recall who this man before them could be. Their academy kept records of everyone who had achieved Ascension to the Upper Realm, so they attempted to deduce his identity from his current state. If he were a Heaven's Pride who had originally come from Haoran Academy, then their academy would truly be invincible!

"Damn it, do you all carry the aura of Sun Yaoci?"

Zhao Ritian narrowed his eyes at the people of Haoran Academy and said coldly, "It seems that Woman is indeed connected to you."

A dense killing intent enveloped the area. Instantly, an icy chill enveloped the members of Haoran Academy, their eyes filling with terror.

Sun Yaoci! They had seen this name in their records; she was one of those from their academy who had achieved Ascension, a figure who had dominated her era. But now it seemed this man was Sun Yaoci's enemy. Damn it! At this realization, the people from Haoran Academy panicked. They had never imagined this man would be their adversary. Could this mean disaster for Haoran Academy?!

"Senior, we have no prior grievances or enmity with you. Why must you…"

Before one Great Confucian Scholar could finish speaking, his body began to visibly crumble under everyone's gaze. Cracks spread across his form, and he perished before their eyes.

Zhao Ritian merely lowered his raised hand slowly, then stared at the people of Haoran Academy with a smirk.

"We indeed have no grievances, but the Cultivation Technique Sun Yaoci practices is identical to yours."

Zhao Ritian laughed wildly. "Then you can't blame me. That Woman betrayed the Human Race and even imprisoned me! See these chains on me? They are all her handiwork.

She refused to live as a human, choosing instead to become a tool for those monsters! She even bore a horde of little monsters, causing the deaths of many experts from the Human Race and other races.

My killing you will serve as vengeance for those dead experts. Of course, this revenge must be exacted bit by bit!"

The moment his voice fell, the iron chains on his body began to rattle, transforming into whips and long spears that struck out at the Disciples of Haoran Academy. And so, a massacre began.

No one present dared to speak; none even entertained the thought of intervening.

Xu Nian watched the people of Haoran Academy being slaughtered, feeling indifferent as it had nothing to do with him.

Now is the time to claim the Reward from the Spiritual Peach Banquet and prepare to leave.

"White Jade Fairy, isn't it time to present the Reward for this Spiritual Peach Banquet?"

Xu Nian's words snapped everyone back to reality.

Zhao Ritian, who was in the midst of slaughtering the people of Haoran Academy, turned his head toward Xu Nian. He squinted and said coldly, "Kid, you've got guts."

Xu Nian ignored him, keeping his gaze fixed on the White Jade Fairy.

He had to obtain this Reward; it was crucial for his breakthrough to the Mahayana Realm.

The White Jade Fairy was dumbstruck. She never imagined Xu Nian would bring this up at such a moment! Can't he see that everyone else is too terrified to speak? That man in chains has Ascended; he's a true Immortal descended to the mortal realm!

Seeing Xu Nian completely disregard him, Zhao Ritian was infuriated.

In his eyes, he could slaughter this swarm of ants, even annihilate them without a trace if he wished.

An ant dares to ignore me? It seems I've been too lenient!

RATTLE—

The chains flew, one transforming into a long spear that shot toward Xu Nian's back.

The movement was too fast; even the Demon Emperor's pupils constricted, a chill running down his spine.

The Demon Emperor wondered, Is this the power of someone from the Upper Realm? If it were me, I probably couldn't withstand that iron chain. Even if my demonic body were fully cultivated, this chain is no ordinary item; it exudes an intimidating Coldness. I can feel that this chain could definitely harm my demonic body, possibly even kill me.

Under everyone's terrified gaze, the tip of the chain struck Xu Nian. However, it didn't pierce his body, only tearing his clothes.

DING!

The chain seemed to have struck an unyielding barrier, unable to advance another inch.
