"Next, I will absorb all of your strength. Although it's impossible to directly advance to the Imperial Lord Realm, the power in your bodies can directly enhance my strength somewhat."

After speaking.

The strength of the Half-step Emperor Lord Realm emerged directly from Zhang Yanling's body.

Back on Earth Star, the power that Wang Ye, Wang Yifeng, and Shi Heng could wield was much stronger than what these elders can currently muster. Yet even in those circumstances, they needed the help of a formation to suppress Zhang Yanling.

But now.

These elders, whose true strength is not as strong as Wang Ye and his group's, had been constantly suppressing the chaos entry without any formation assistance.

They simply couldn't be Zhang Yanling's match.

The moment the Half-step Emperor Lord Realm's strength appeared on Zhang Yanling, the elders present felt immense pressure.

Elder Red Horse, hearing Zhang Yanling's words and feeling the power emanating from Zhang Yanling, quickly realized they couldn't deal with Zhang Yanling.

Elder Red Horse immediately shouted to the other elders around:

"He wants to absorb all the power from us and convert it to his own!"

"I won't let that happen!"

"I'll self-destruct first! Better broken jade than intact tile!"

As Elder Red Horse said this.

A thousand horses galloped, as if many flying horses carried Elder Red Horse directly to Zhang Yanling.

In that instant, Elder Red Horse's power coalesced, and the berserk explosive force radiated out.

Boom!

In less than 0.1 second.

From deciding to self-destruct after hearing Zhang Yanling's words to actually self-destructing, it took less than 0.1 second, along with the explosion of his entire path.

Hoping to unleash greater power to harm Zhang Yanling during his self-destruction.

"Elder Red Horse!"

The remaining elders listened to the sound of the self-destruction with complicated feelings.

Previously, Elder Red Horse had been dissatisfied after failing to compete with Yuan Lue for the position of Saint Heir and always desired another battle with Yuan Lue.

But these elders were worried about what Elder Red Horse might do and therefore always obstructed.

Even just now, when Elder Red Horse first spoke, they thought he wanted to seize the opportunity for Elder Can Yue to rest early.

In their hearts, they never truly trusted Elder Red Horse.

Yet, in their eyes, such a person was the first to decisively self-destruct when the Yuanling Sect faced trouble.

In order not to let the opponent absorb his power, knowing he couldn't defeat the opponent with his current strength, Elder Red Horse decisively self-destructed, just to make his death more meaningful.

To harm the opponent.

"Cough, cough."

Zhang Yanling coughed a few times, spitting golden blood from his throat. He tasted the blood in the air, partly due to the damage inflicted by Elder Red Horse's self-destruction.

But more so.

Because of the bloody scent lingering from Elder Red Horse's self-destruction.

"Madman, lunatic!"

Even Zhang Yanling couldn't help but curse angrily at this moment.

He didn't expect Elder Red Horse would truly self-destruct.

Even with Unity Realm Stage strength, at the moment of self-destruction, it caused significant damage to him.

Moreover, among the elders present, Elder Red Horse was already considered at the pinnacle of strength, and he was still very young. Absorbing the power from Elder Red Horse would have been particularly beneficial for Zhang Yanling.

It could increase his strength significantly.

Yet.

Before he could even absorb this power from Elder Red Horse, Elder Red Horse had already self-destructed.

The power of the Catastrophe Dao emerged from Zhang Yanling, instantly turning the Yuanling Sect's chaos entry into a hellish scene where giant hands like those of King Yan reached toward the remaining elders.

Seeking to drag the Yuanling Sect's elders into the catastrophe.

To kill them!

Thereby absorbing their strength.

"Initially, I only intended to destroy the chaos entry, but now I've changed my mind. I plan to directly eliminate all of you present."

"Once I get rid of you, I'll go on to absorb the rest of everyone else's power in the Yuanling Sect, slaughtering the entire Yuanling Sect, and use that to prove my way to the Imperial Lord Realm!"

Catastrophe.

Zhang Yanling himself tread the Catastrophe Dao.

He was the bringer of catastrophe to all.

The massacre of the Yuanling Sect is, to Zhang Yanling, a great catastrophe he brought upon them.

With Zhang Yanling's enhancement in Catastrophe Dao and absorption of the Yuanling Sect's powers, ascending to the Imperial Lord Realm would not be difficult for him.

"How dare you!"

Before even having time to comprehend Elder Red Horse's self-destruction, Elder Can Yue roared, spitting a mouthful of essence blood, his white hair scattered.

In that instant, Elder Can Yue's aura diminished greatly from spraying out his essence blood.

Elder Can Yue, having guarded this place for years, had already been in poor health due to his age, and now, with the essence blood expelled, his life was like a candle flickering in the wind.

He seemed as if about to die any second.

"Summon Lord of the Universe!"

Elder Can Yue spoke.

The other elders also spat out essence blood, which coalesced in mid-air.

This technique was unknown to Elder Red Horse.

From the beginning, it was set that they only needed their essence blood to summon the spirit body of the Lord of the Universe.

They hadn't told Elder Red Horse initially, not because they distrusted him, but because they believed in this situation, they alone could handle it.

No need for Elder Red Horse to sacrifice his essence blood.

Little did they know, in the end, it became the reason for Elder Red Horse's sacrifice.

If Elder Red Horse had known of this method earlier, he might not have been so decisive.

"Damn it!"
