At the same time, at Yaokun Sacred Land.

  In the Soul Hall.

  Watching as the three soul tablets enshrined at the top of the soul rack shattered into pieces almost simultaneously, the Saint Realm experts present felt as if the sky had fallen.

  "The Patriarch, the Sacred Master, the old Sacred Master, they've all perished. It's like the heavens want to destroy our Yaokun..."

  Yaokun Sacred Land.

  The reason it could stand as the foremost of the five sacred lands in the Northern Profound Realm was largely due to these three Saint King realm experts.

  Now that these three Saint Kings have fallen simultaneously, Yaokun Sacred Land is directly crippled by ninety percent!

  "Order all disciples and elders to take their respective inheritances and foundations and leave Yaokun Sacred Land as quickly as possible!!"

  "The legacy of Yaokun Sacred Land must not be severed. As long as a disciple can grow strong, we can one day restore the glory of Yaokun!!"

  "Additionally..."

  "As instructed by the previous Sacred Master, spread the news that Fuyou Sacred Land possesses an imperial weapon to other realms as quickly as possible!!"

  "For causing our Yaokun Sacred Land to fall to such a state, Fuyou Sacred Land must also be destroyed!!"

  With these words, the remaining Saint Realm experts rushed out of the Soul Hall, heading swiftly to the Scripture Repository and the Treasure Pavilion.

  Although most of Yaokun Sacred Land's resources were in the hands of the Saint Kings, there were still many valuable items in the Scripture Repository and the Treasure Pavilion.

  Now that the Saint Kings have fallen, they are the strongest left in Yaokun Sacred Land, and these items must be taken away!

  Not only Yaokun Sacred Land, but the other sacred lands were in similar chaos, with some even more frenzied.

  Take the Nine Nether Demon Gate, for example.

  After the fall of the Nine Nether Patriarch and the Nine Nether Gate Master, many guardian elders suddenly died on the spot, as they were controlled by the two Saint Kings.

  Of course, some only suffered backlash.

  But in the next moment, upon learning of the fall of these two Saint Kings, many strong individuals began to fight and plunder within the Demon Gate, intending to seize the treasures left by the two Saint Kings.

  Some, driven by hatred, even started slaughtering the descendants of the two Saint Kings.

  After all, the Demon Gate has always valued strength above all.

  Some guardians and elders were forced to submit. With the two Saint Kings above them, they dared not act out of line.

  Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

  Now, with the fall of the two Saint Kings, these individuals revealed their true colors.

  The Great Qian Sacred Dynasty was no different.

  After the fall of the two Saint Kings, the dynasty's fortunes suffered a massive backlash, and a torrential blood rain poured over the imperial city.

  All the princes, lords, and soldiers knew at that moment that the Sacred Emperor had passed.

  Yet few mourned for the Sacred Emperor, as terrifying killing intent erupted in the imperial city.

  Princes began to vie for power, and lords started to rebel.

  The entire Great Qian Sacred Dynasty was thrown into chaos in an instant.

  Such upheaval was also present in Taiyi Sacred Land, with little difference in the situation.

  After the fall of the Fire Cloud Patriarch and the Taiyi Sacred Master, the entire sacred land was thrown into chaos, with many peak masters and elders rebelling!

  However, this chaos did not last long. As a rift appeared above the Nine Nether Demon Gate and Taiyi Sacred Land, a destructive force descended like a natural disaster.

  Without Saint King realm experts to guard them, even the protective formations of the two sacred lands could not withstand the attack of a Saint King.

  Many disciples died tragically on the spot.

  Numerous Saint Realm experts who hadn't escaped the sacred lands were captured like helpless chicks.

  With the fall of the two sacred lands, an even more terrifying storm swept across the entire Northern Profound Realm.

  After all, the five sacred lands were the overlords of the Northern Profound Realm, with many subordinate forces under them.

  When the giants fall, the small fry naturally descend into internal strife.

  Of course, Xiao Ming was unaware of all this at the moment.

  While Nangong Wuya and Li Cang'er went to eradicate the lairs of the sacred lands, Xiao Ming and Feng Xianhuang returned to Moonwatch Peak.

  As for Ling Ruoxuan, due to the sudden events, she had to lead the high-ranking members of Jade Maiden Peak.

  Together with the other peaks, she had to suppress and take over the subordinate forces of the sacred lands.

  In the coming period, she would be busy running back and forth.

  Meanwhile, Su Qingyue and Yun Ling returned to Jade Maiden Peak to retreat and digest their recent gains and insights.

  "Master, those nine Saint Kings... have you completely refined them?"

  Back at Moonwatch Peak, after hesitating for a moment, Xiao Ming couldn't help but ask.

  "Yes, they're as dead as can be. Their flesh and souls have been sacrificed to that ancient cauldron, and even their sacred bones have been refined into relics by me."

  As she spoke, Jiang Xuanying flipped her hand and took out several relics, tossing two each to Xiao Ming and Feng Xianhuang.

  "These are Desolate Bone Relics..."

  "Crafted from the bones of living beings, refined with Desolate Power and true fire, they contain extremely abundant bone essence."

  "If you can refine and absorb them, you can enhance your cultivation and strengthen your physical body."

  "However, these relics are not something you can currently refine. Wait until you break through to the Nirvana stage before attempting to refine them."

  Hearing Jiang Xuanying's words and looking at the relics, Xiao Ming and Feng Xianhuang's eyes narrowed.

  They hadn't expected their master to be so generous, gifting them relics made from the bones of Saint King experts.

  It truly was their fortune to have Jiang Xuanying as their master.

  "Master, are there any restrictions on refining Desolate Bone Relics?"

  Examining the two relics before him, Xiao Ming thickened his skin and asked.

  His Human Emperor Banner could refine souls, the Human Emperor Sword could devour flesh essence, and the Saint Source Ring could absorb cultivation.

  Only the bones were somewhat wasted, as he could only crush them with his hand.

  If he could learn the method to refine Desolate Bone Relics, his complete package would be perfect.

  "Do you want to learn?"

  Seeing Xiao Ming's eager expression, Jiang Xuanying saw through his thoughts.

  She immediately continued.

  "There aren't many restrictions on refining. As long as you've cultivated the Great Wilderness Refining God Technique and can comprehend the Desolate Intent, you can use it to temper bones and refine them with special techniques."

  "If you want to learn, I can teach you."

  "But remember, do not kill indiscriminately in pursuit of power."

  "The world has its own karma. Unrestrained killing not only leads to losing oneself but also attracts calamity and misfortune."

  Jiang Xuanying was aware of some of the recent events.

  Combined with what Xiao Ming had said to Nangong Wuya and Li Cang'er, it wasn't hard to deduce that Xiao Ming also had the ability to refine human flesh and souls.

  If one's mindset wasn't strong enough, indiscriminate killing for power would only lead to becoming a heartless demon.

  And such people...

  Rarely meet a good end.

  "I understand, Master!"

  Xiao Ming's heart tightened at her words, and he didn't argue.

  "This is the method for refining Desolate Bone Relics..."

  Seeing Xiao Ming's receptive attitude, Jiang Xuanying casually tossed a jade slip.

  Xiao Ming immediately caught it, a smile appearing on his face.

  But just then, Jiang Xuanying's lazy voice came again, causing Xiao Ming's expression to change.

  "That imperial weapon in your hand that can devour souls, could you take it out for your master to have a good look?"

  Not only Xiao Ming, but even Feng Xianhuang's expression changed upon hearing this.

  As expected, their master also knew about the imperial weapon in Xiao Ming's possession.

  If she coveted it after seeing it, it would be a disaster for them.

  After all, in the face of absolute interests, all sentiments are meaningless.

  Though Jiang Xuanying treated them well now, if she became greedy due to the item's value, this master-disciple relationship could turn sour instantly!

  As Xiao Ming's eyes flickered, the system prompt sounded...
