The light faded, and the Point General Platform sank as well, returning the world to tranquility, marking the end of everything.

The once-in-a-millennium event at the Point General Platform had also concluded, with the final brilliance descending entirely upon Tangyu, making him the biggest winner.

This time, Tangyu's gains were indeed immense, with a significant breakthrough in his realm and a substantial increase in power. In just over half a year since he entered Luoyu Immortal Palace, his strength had increased more than a hundredfold. He had advanced from the Third Layer of the Golden Core to the current Seventh Level of the Golden Core, progressed from the early stage of the Second Layer of Divine Demon Body Refinement to the early stage of the Third Layer. Additionally, in terms of cultivation techniques, he had mastered the Fourth Axe of the Pangu Nine Axes, and his cultivation of the Reincarnation Seal had reached Great Accomplishment.

Although progress in the Bright Moon Sword Art was not evident, he had gained a few more insights into the creation of the third style, needing only a suitable opportunity now.

With Tangyu's current strength, he could completely battle against a Purple Mansion Stage Third Layer cultivator. Such incredible brilliance was truly astonishing. Now, having cultivated the supreme secret technique "Square Inch Kill," he could kill an enemy in just one square inch. If Tangyu were to employ Square Inch Kill, he would naturally be capable of slaying a Purple Mansion Stage Third Layer. Currently, Tangyu indeed exuded an unparalleled aura that dared to challenge anyone in the world, possessing the domineering air of a young king.

In his youth, the young king was like this, and now Tangyu could indeed contend for glory with such beings.

All eyes were on Tangyu—a dark horse, a rising new force, a once-obscure figure who had walked a sharp path to now become remembered by all, and made Jiuzhou Immortal Sect unforgettable. Five thousand years ago, the sudden rise of Pangu and Nuwa had caused quite a stir in the Cultivation World. Nowadays, the emergence of Tangyu and Sun Wukong had similarly propelled Jiuzhou Immortal Sect to fame in the Luoyu Immortal Palace.

The two bore a resemblance to the legendary emergence of Pangu and Nuwa, making a striking impact with a single battle, shocking the world.

As Tangyu returned, Xuanyuan Wushang, Sun Wukong, and Pan Chenyu were all thrilled, rejoicing with Tangyu. Xuanyuan Wushang laughed heartily and said, "Brother Tangyu, this is truly a cause for celebration, acquiring such a tremendous opportunity. Haha, contending for dominance one day, the young king is within reach."

"Young king!" Tangyu scoffed, indeed an exciting and thrilling prospect, and currently, it was Tangyu's direction of effort. One must always position oneself, set a goal, and strive towards it. Of course, for Tangyu, being a young king was just a minor goal; his most steadfast aspiration had always been seeking immortality and enlightenment. This objective had never wavered or changed, remaining his firmest belief.

Tangyu and his companions didn't notice that while they were talking, four figures silently approached them from four directions, moving swiftly like ghosts. Due to the surrounding crowd and Tangyu being the center of attention, no one noticed these four's arrival amidst the atmosphere.

Xuanyuan Wushang said, "The great opportunity has ended, and now there should be no more significant chances, just pure cultivation. With over four years left, let's use it for some closed-door cultivation. Cultivating in Luoyu Immortal Palace is indeed much better than outside. Let's find a quiet place to train now."

Tangyu nodded in agreement, eager to focus on closed-door cultivation to thoroughly digest his gains and enhance his strength. Tangyu's goal was naturally to breakthrough to Golden Core Realm Ninth Layer and Divine Demon Body Refinement's late Third Layer stage before leaving Luoyu Immortal Palace. He would be thoroughly transformed upon leaving then.

"Hmm?" Just then, a sense of vigilance suddenly surged in Tangyu's heart, an ominous feeling taking root. This was a dangerous presence, extremely so, appearing suddenly and abruptly. Feeling this aura, Tangyu's brows furrowed, eyes scanning swiftly, and immediately spotted four figures around them, prompting him to shout coldly, "Not good, danger!"

Xuanyuan Wushang and the others immediately reacted too, instantly sensing the terrifying aura of danger.

"Die!" the four suddenly appearing figures were all insanely ferocious, behaving maddeningly as if possessed, and directly self-detonated. Unleashing an unbelievably terrifying explosive aura, the four rushed at Tangyu and his companions like four powder kegs from four directions, completely enclosing them, leaving no room for escape.

Sensing the strong aura from these four, Tangyu furrowed his brow heavily, his face growing tense: "Not good, these are Purple Mansion Stage auras, four Purple Mansion Stage entities, no less. How vile, Hongchen Palace truly spares no expense. To kill me and Monkey Bro, they dare employ such measures, willing to pay the price. Earlier, they tried to kill Monkey Bro with one Purple Mansion's self-detonation. Now, four are self-detonating to kill us."

"Although it's certain these five Purple Mansion cultivators achieved their stage through pill enhancement, nonetheless, they're still Purple Mansion, incredibly crazy."

Tangyu was indeed somewhat shocked at this moment. One Purple Mansion self-detonating was immensely frightening, let alone four together. Despite being at the early Third Layer of Divine Demon Body Refinement, he absolutely couldn't withstand it. An outright stand would mean certain death. Sun Wukong was already injured, not having fully recovered, almost died by one Purple Mansion's detonation before; now, with four, clearly, he couldn't withstand it—certain death. Xuanyuan Wushang and Pan Chenyu would have even less chance, unable to withstand even one Purple Mansion detonation.

Even using all their cards would be to no avail, impossible to block.

What to do?

Could this really be the end?

Sun Wukong was also gritting his teeth in anger, ready to fight with all his might.

The crowd watching this scene was shocked, silence fell instantaneously, and everyone widened their eyes, speechless as they stared at this side, many were quite terrified.

"Oh my god, f-four Zifu Realm self-destructs? This this—"

"What's going on? First, there was one Zifu Realm attempting to self-destruct to kill Sun Wukong, and now suddenly there are four? Which power employs such tactics, it's too terrifying! Zifu Realm, is it really so worthless now? They dare to use it for self-destruction, and five of them at that—"

"Perhaps even the Holy Land wouldn't dare to have such a laughing matter easily, and a top-tier Immortal Sect couldn't possibly pull this off. Which force is behind this?"

"It's over; Tangyu and the others are certainly doomed now. Four Zifu Realm self-destructs are too frightening; there's no way they can be stopped. Tangyu really is unfortunate; he seized the role of General Master, gained the Great Immortal's fate, with hopes of becoming a hero in youth, achieving the young king status, and walking a supreme Great Dao. But now he must die here, what a pity."

"Indeed, what a pity. That Sun Wukong is also incredibly defiant against fate, and Tangyu even more so. If they're both killed, it truly would be a loss. The Jiuzhou Immortal Sect would also bleed from such a loss."

"Not only the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, but the whole cultivation world would suffer a loss. Before the great calamity of the mortal world, the more strong individuals we have, the better our chances. Both of them have high potential to become Immortal Venerates. Those least willing to see them grow, I suspect, would be the people from Hongchen Palace. Could it be that the Hongchen Palace has started to take action?"

"It's possible; Hongchen Palace is elusive yet everywhere at once. Unknown but always present. This time, it's not impossible for them to have made a move. Outside, the people of Hongchen Palace might not dare to act recklessly, but within Luoyu Immortal Palace, they have fewer scruples."

The danger approaches, and the aura of destruction is about to erupt completely. Once it breaks out, that entire area of void will be decimated, everything wiped out. Four Zifu Realm self-destructs, the power generated is unimaginable. A Zifu Realm Fifth Layer taking it head-on would be wiped out directly. Let alone, just four Golden Core Realm. The likelihood of surviving is close to zero.

"Fight!" Sun Wukong shouted, wielding the Jingu Bang ready to confront it.

Xuanyuan Wushang and Pan Chenyu clenched their teeth: "Fight!" They too readied all their trump cards for a final struggle. Standing still and awaiting death was not an option.

In Tangyu's eyes, a sharp gleam emerged, his Yuguang Sword suddenly moved, and beams of light burst forth from the sword's body. This was Tangyu's newly mastered Supreme Secret Technique, "Square Inch Kill", capable of killing enemies thousands of miles away within a square inch. Although not yet at that level, it could still kill foes a hundred meters away with ease.

With Square Inch Kill unleashed, several beams of sharp light abruptly appeared on the four figures, directly severing their bodies, leaving them no chance to resist. Not that the four Zifu Realm couldn't resist, but in their self-destruct attempts, their minds weren't focused there. Moreover, the beams' appearance was too rapid, too unexpected, killing out of thin air without a hint.

Thus, the four had no resistance whatsoever, instantly killed by the beams.

The aura of self-destruct on the four instantly dimmed, losing their lifeforce, naturally ceasing to exist, like firecrackers doused before igniting, unable to explode anymore.

Their bodies shattered into pieces, falling down, a bloody mess. Four Zifu Realm, slaughtered like this, without anyone even reacting. This scene stunned everyone, keeping their minds deceived, watching Tangyu speechless.

Even Xuanyuan Wushang and the other three looked at Tangyu with extremely peculiar gazes, naturally shocked.

Let alone others, even Tangyu himself was deeply astonished, profoundly shaken.
