Chapter 208: Kirin Arm

"The Jiang Family... is finished..."

When a Unity Realm expert murmured these words in a daze,

it marked the fall of a powerful force in the Third Heaven.

So many experts had entered the Three Valleys Deadland, yet the array was still glowing, as if not even a ripple had been stirred.

How terrifying was this?

In fact, many didn’t even know who the Jiang Family had offended.

The Eternal Sect and the Wang Family vaguely guessed,

but they couldn’t bring themselves to believe it.

Because it was simply too unbelievable.

A guy who had just ascended from the Second Heaven had now single-handedly annihilated the Jiang Family of the Third Heaven?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Yet, the truth was right before their eyes.

"Sect Master, if it really is him... what should we do?" The deputy sect master of the Eternal Sect spoke with a trace of fear in his voice.

This was simply an inconceivable matter.

A deputy sect master of the Eternal Sect, a top-tier Unity Realm expert, now felt awe toward a minor cultivator who had just ascended to the Third Heaven.

And yet, it was this very minor cultivator who had ruthlessly trapped and slaughtered all the experts of a massive force no weaker than the Eternal Sect.

It sent chills down one’s spine.

Inside the Three Valleys Deadland,

Lu Ye, barely holding himself together, stretched out his hand—now missing three fingers.

Waves of bloody mist surged from the array, swirling before him before finally condensing into a blood-red pill.

The pill was as large as a basketball.

His flesh and blood had been devoured by these people, so wasn’t it only fair that he took it back now?

No matter what others thought, Lu Ye found it perfectly reasonable.

Using the Blood Demon Escape continuously, his body shattered—if even more of his flesh were lost, Lu Ye reckoned he’d have to pay with his life.

Luckily, luckily, the kind-hearted folks of the Jiang Family had returned his flesh to him.

Lu Ye’s mouth suddenly stretched wide.

In such dire times, there was no room for hesitation.

"Gulp!"

The next moment, a blinding crimson light erupted from Lu Ye’s body.

His flesh grew wildly, his body began to expand, and his depleted vitality not only recovered but became even more abundant.

Huh?

Who the hell spiked his flesh with such potent stuff?

The body-forging technique Lu Ye was currently cultivating was called the *Nine Tribulations Indestructible Physique*, the most formidable body-forging technique across the Nine Heavens, further refined through systematic enhancements.

Asking him to switch to another body-forging technique was unrealistic.

But if he didn’t utilize this frenzied fleshly power in time, his body exploding would be the least of his worries—what mattered most was that Lu Ye never liked waste.

He would eat every last grain of rice in his bowl.

The only option left was reinforcement.

A surge of bloody light suddenly converged toward his arms.

The stone sword was startled—*Holy shit, is it coming for me?*

The next moment, Lu Ye’s arms exploded violently, only for new flesh to rapidly regrow.

Explode again!

Regrow again!

Explode again!

...

After exploding and reforming nine times in succession, Lu Ye’s body finally stopped expanding.

Now standing dozens of meters tall, he resembled a towering giant.

The bloody light continuously poured into his arms, causing them to swell while his body shrank.

Then his arms shrank while his body expanded again.

This cycle repeated.

Finally, both his arms and body returned to normal size. Lu Ye named these arms—*Qilin Arms*!

This time, his arms gained tremendous strength. Against enemies, he might truly achieve his dream with just his hands.

Exhilarating!

Lu Ye’s figure charged into the *array*.

Soon, he emerged, dragging the disgraceful *Human Emperor Banner*, which billowed with streams of purple energy.

"I just upgraded you last time, and now you’re at the level of an Innate Dao Treasure. Can’t you stop being so embarrassing? *So embarrassing*?" Lu Ye scolded, exasperated.

"Gurgle..."

"This time, I won’t lift a finger to help you. Digest it yourself!"

"Gurgle..."

"What are you gurgling about? Got a problem?"

"Gurgle... snore..."

The stone sword watched this scene with a mix of sympathy and immense relief.

Thank goodness, thank goodness!

Thankfully, this time the master used the array to kill, otherwise it would have had to wipe off blood with a rag again—how embarrassing for a sword to admit that!

Lu Ye had originally intended to go into seclusion.

But then he glanced at the souls within the Human Emperor Banner.

Huh?

Wait a minute!

Why were all the souls at the Karmic Realm or above? Where were the souls at the Destiny Realm?

Oh no, the roots weren’t fully eradicated!

How could this be?

To pull weeds without uprooting them—even if Lu Ye cultivated diligently, those so-called geniuses of the Jiang family, every last one of them, would never have a chance to catch up to him.

They would never pose a threat to Lu Ye.

But the Jiang family wasn’t fully reunited!

Lu Ye felt deeply unsettled.

He had to make another trip outside!

Without hesitation, Lu Ye immediately rushed out of the Three Valleys Deadland.

Even though he hadn’t allowed his body to absorb the full power of the Blood Pill, the overflowing energy couldn’t have left his physique completely unchanged.

As a result, his body had indeed grown stronger—from covering about one li to now spanning around ten li.

Lu Ye had to fly even higher than before.

When he lured the Jiang family’s experts earlier, a distance of one li was too small. Lu Ye had to move at his fastest speed, circling the Jiang family in the blink of an eye to drag out every last member, young and old.

With such a massive pursuit and such incredible speed, no one was foolish enough to stay too close.

Even when Lu Ye’s body shattered, and the fragrance spread for a hundred li, no strong experts fell for it.

Why?

Because a hundred li was hardly a safe distance for powerful figures—most kept at least three hundred li away, with five hundred li being the norm.

...

Jiang Family!

A large number of Destiny Realm members of the Jiang family returned home. To prevent enemies from exploiting their vulnerability, the Jiang family’s grand array was activated at full power.

"Ah!"

A scream of utter terror pierced through the entire Jiang family.

The sound was so shrill it felt as though the vocal cords had shattered.

People rushed toward the source of the scream.

"Ah!"

"Ahhh!"

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Every person who arrived was struck with horror, their scalps tingling in shock. Some collapsed to the ground, their eyes bulging as if about to pop out of their sockets.

On the wooden stand where the soul flames were enshrined, once brightly lit and brimming with prosperity, now—every single flame above had been extinguished.

Every. Single. One.

Not a single flicker of fire remained.

Only the soul lamps in the bottom three rows still burned.

The once sacred and serene ancestral hall, where the great Avenue once flowed, now lay in eerie silence, like a haunted realm, even exuding a chilling aura.

Dead!

All dead!

Every last one of them!!!

The Jiang family's powerhouses—those at the Cause and Effect Realm, the Three Lives Realm, the Unity Realm—were all dead.

"Hahaha… they're all dead, every last one of them…"

A young man sat on the ground, laughing hysterically.

He had gone mad!

His mind had been completely shattered by the sight before him.

All dead!
