188: Chapter 188 The End of the Hundred Rivers Sacred Academy

Boom! Crack, crack, crack...

With a deafening roar, the continent where Baichuan Holy Academy was located instantly shattered into countless fragments, scattering across the vast, boundless starry sky.

Indeed, Baichuan Holy Academy was not a planet, but a massive continent.

The God Emperors in the nearby Divine Realms heard this earth-shattering roar and were all filled with terror.

A small gray cauldron was seen rushing out of the ruins, fleeing into the distance at an astonishing speed.

A trace of disdain flashed in Cao Yang's eyes; he raised his palm and struck out toward the direction of the fleeing cauldron—Heaven-Shattering Palm.

A giant golden palm tore through the starry sky and instantly slammed into the distant cauldron, knocking it deep into the void.

Cao Yang's figure flashed, and he instantly disappeared into the starry sky, following the cauldron.

At this moment, the Disciples and Elders inside the cauldron were lying on the ground in swathes, devoid of any signs of life.

Only the experts above the Divine Venerable Realm still had faint breaths, but they were hanging by a thread; if they suffered another attack, it was likely that everyone except the quasi-Saints would surely die.

Dean Tianzimu and those Elders at the quasi-Saint Realm looked at the corpses of the academy Disciples covering the ground with gloomy expressions, an indescribable sense of sorrow surging in their hearts.

Although they were cold and ruthless to the outside world, Baichuan Holy Academy was, after all, something they had spent countless years and great effort to build, and these deceased Disciples were the results of their careful cultivation and massive investment of resources.

Suddenly, Dean Tianzimu shouted in terror: "Not good! Cauldron Spirit, run!"

Everyone looked up and saw a gigantic golden hand descending from the sky, piercing through the distant starry sky and reaching straight for them.

This giant hand emitted a heart-palpitating pressure, making Dean Tianzimu and several Elders tremble with fear, their hearts filled with terror and despair.

The cauldron accelerated with all its might, attempting to escape this region of the starry sky.

However, the speed of that giant golden hand was simply too fast, far exceeding what the cauldron could have imagined.

It quickly caught up and tightly grabbed the cauldron, trapping it in the starry sky, unable to move.

Cao Yang stood in the distance, coldly watching the cauldron that was being held by the giant hand before him.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he sneered: "Not bad. I didn't expect it to actually be a High Grade Sacred Artifact. No wonder Hong Yi and over a dozen Peak quasi-Saints couldn't do anything to it even when joining forces."

As it turned out, that giant golden hand was condensed from Cao Yang's Saint power.

As a powerful Saint, his power was definitely not something an ordinary person could withstand.

Even though the cauldron was a High Grade Sacred Artifact, it was difficult for it to contend with him without a master.

"Senior, I do not know how our Baichuan Holy Academy has offended you. I am willing to offer our Baichuan Holy Academy's supreme treasure, the wuyuan cauldron, to you. I hope you will spare our lives," Dean Tianzimu said tremblingly.

His face was pale as paper, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his body was trembling uncontrollably.

His heart was filled with fear and despair because the mysterious person before him was simply too powerful; they were completely unable to contend with him.

Before Cao Yang could speak, the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall beside Tianzimu, Shen Wansan, said with a panicked expression: "How is this possible? How can you be so powerful? Last time, you clearly hadn't even reached the God Emperor Realm..."

"Oh, you recognize me?" Cao Yang's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a cold sneer.

"So it was you! That remnant soul that self-destructed and escaped. You really are tenacious; you actually lived for so long," Cao Yang looked inside the cauldron. Although the appearance had changed, upon closer inspection, it was easy to discern the aura of that remnant soul on it.

His eyes were cold and sharp, as if they could pierce through any disguise.

When Dean Tianzimu heard Cao Yang's words, a trace of viciousness flashed deep in his eyes.

He inwardly cursed his bad luck for encountering such a terrifying enemy.

But he did not give up the desire to survive; instead, he began to think about how to use this opportunity to protect himself.

"Dean, you..." Shen Wansan looked in terror at the Divine Artifact sword dripping blood from his chest and slowly turned his head.

He could not believe his eyes; the Dean would actually attack him.

"Dean, why did you kill the Hall Master?" The other Elders and Disciples retreated in terror, putting some distance between themselves and Dean Tianzimu.

They could not believe the scene unfolding before them; Baichuan Holy Academy, which had originally been united, was now plunged into Chaos.

"Hmph, Shen Wansan offended the Senior on his own accord to avenge a friend. Only his head can buy us a glimmer of survival," Dean Tianzimu looked at the others and snorted coldly.

The various Elders and the many Disciples whispering privately fell silent upon hearing Tianzimu's explanation. If they could truly trade the life of the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall for their own lives, they were certainly willing.

After finishing, Tianzimu drew the divine sword and slashed off Shen Wansan's head with one strike. Shen Wansan's eyes widened, full of disbelief, mixed with endless resentment and unwillingness!

"Senior, that dog Shen Wansan dared to offend you. I have already killed him; I hope you will spare our lives," Tianzimu said as he knelt down.

The Elders and Disciples behind him saw this and also knelt down one after another toward Cao Yang outside.

"I could have originally spared your lives, but it is a pity; you hurt my woman. Your crimes are unforgivable even if you were to die a hundred times over," Cao Yang said coldly.

Tianzimu felt a chill in his heart and hurriedly said: "Senior, this is all a misunderstanding. We did not know your identity. If we had known you were such a powerful existence, even if you gave us a hundred times the courage, we would not have dared to hurt your woman. Please forgive us, Senior."

Cao Yang sneered: "What is the use of saying this now? You have already caused her harm; this is an irreversible fact."

Tianzimu's face was pale as paper, cold sweat continuously seeping from his forehead. He said with a trembling voice: "Senior, we are willing to pay any price to make up for our mistakes. Please give us a chance. As long as you can spare us, we will certainly do our best to compensate your woman, help her recover her health, and guarantee that such things will never happen again. Please believe in our sincerity."

However, Cao Yang remained unmoved, his eyes filled with coldness and determination: "Your apologies and promises are meaningless to me. Your actions have already touched my bottom line; I must make you pay a heavy price."

Upon hearing this, Tianzimu and the others were completely desperate. They realized that no matter how they begged for mercy, it would be of no use; they could only helplessly accept the judgment of fate.

Cao Yang's eyes were cold, and he said in an icy tone: "All of you, go to your deaths!"

As his words fell, he extended his finger and lightly tapped the starry sky. Countless golden runes instantly emerged from his hand and quickly combined into shimmering golden characters for "kill".

These "kill" characters were like a surging golden tide, continuously pouring into the interior of the cauldron.

Tianzimu and the others from Baichuan Holy Academy witnessed this heart-stopping scene, their faces revealing extreme horror. They stood up in terror one after another, quickly drawing their respective Divine Artifacts to prepare for defense.

However, when Tianzimu saw with his own eyes those golden runes surging in like a deluge, he suddenly threw his head back and laughed wildly: "Hahaha, hahaha... Heaven wants to destroy my Baichuan Holy Academy! Heaven wants to destroy me, Tianzimu!"
