Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up

Chapter 575 - 477: Destroying the Great Daoist Sage

Zhao Ling respectfully lowered his head, "Reporting to the lord, currently, more than twenty sects have submitted. These are the top sects in the Eastern Domain, each having a Sage Realm late stage cultivator in charge. Besides that, there are some second-rate sects with at most Early Sage Realm."

Zhao Yi nodded slightly.

Since he had the intention to subdue these sects, naturally, he would see it through to the end.

Right now, with just over twenty sects, it was far from enough. Zhao Yi wanted the path of cultivation in the New World to grow as much as possible.

"Deliver my order, gather the cultivators from these more than twenty sects who are at Sage Realm or above, command them to subdue the remaining sects, regardless of size, as long as they have a certain reputation in the Eastern Domain, they must submit."

"Those who do not surrender, destroy their sects!"

As the ruthless and cold words fell, a trace of fear appeared on Zhao Ling’s face.

He never imagined that Zhao Yi would be so bloody.

His expression was fully observed by Zhao Yi.

Regarding this, Zhao Yi couldn’t be bothered to explain.

After all, about the matter of the Nether Tree, not many in the Three Thousand Worlds understood the cause.

The Magic World was already completely finished. In less than two days, the Nether Tree would devour that world. By then, everything and everyone in the Magic World would utterly disappear, not entering the cycle of the Three Realms.

Next, it would turn to the current Spirit Realm.

Zhao Yi had already sensed the roots of the Nether Tree probing from the void, trying to take root in the Spirit Realm.

But this world was not weak, so it was challenging to break through the Spirit Realm’s protection for now.

Yet this was only temporary.

The swallowing of the Spirit Realm was a matter of time.

Once the Nether Tree fully descends upon the Spirit Realm, all life in this world would become nourishment for the Nether Tree. Rather than that, they might as well become the living forces of the New World.

Moreover, these cultivators in the Sage Realm have comprehended some Law Fragments, which, when absorbed by the Nine Dragon Jade Seal, would further enhance its power.

Zhao Ling received the order and quickly organized a group of late-stage Sage Realm cultivators to head to various sects.

When they arrived at a certain second-rate sect, everyone in the sect felt as though the sky was falling.

"This... how is it possible? They’re all Sage Realm experts. They came to make us surrender, it’s like using a cannon to kill a mosquito."

"I’ve seen some of these people before. That’s the ancestor of the Litian Sword Sect, and the ancestor of the Blood Moon Sect, and..."

"Gasp... frightening!"

"What are we waiting for to surrender..."

...

Inevitably.

Wherever such a formidable force went, no sect dared to say no.

One by one, they hastily cried out to surrender, deeply afraid the next second they would be annihilated.

Zhao Ling, with these people, was exceedingly efficient. In just a single day, over a hundred sects submitted to Zhao Yi.

Immediately after.

They split into groups and began sweeping across the entire Eastern Domain.

Countless sects were subdued, and for a moment, the entire Eastern Domain was swept clean.

Sects with some power were all subdued by Zhao Ling and his group.

Several days later.

Zhao Ling led a group of Sage Realm cultivators to Zhao Yi.

"Lord, the entire Eastern Domain has basically submitted; no one dares to resist."

"There are a total of three thousand sects, large and small, all gathered near the Litian Sword Sect. When do you think relocation can begin?"

Zhao Yi didn’t expect them to be this efficient, having subdued so many sects already.

He thought, since things had progressed this well, why not subdue the entire Spirit Realm?

Among the Three Thousand Worlds, the cultivation method of the Spirit Realm was most similar to that of humans in the New World. Both started cultivation from no previous power, so many Cultivation Techniques were suitable for the people of the New World.

As for the previously visited Cultivation World, Magic World, and Half-Beastman World, among others.

Their Cultivation Techniques were too limited and not applicable to the New World.

"Since that’s the case, go to other places in the Spirit Realm and subdue all the sects. If you encounter resistance, feel free to tell me at any time."

By now.

The Nine Dragon Jade Seal had already absorbed hundreds of fragments, now immensely more powerful than before.

The purple aura on it was growing so dense it was almost becoming tangible.

It even faintly appeared to form droplets.

Currently.

Even if a Great Daoist Sage appeared, they wouldn’t be a match for the Nine Dragon Jade Seal.

With this confidence, Zhao Yi didn’t think anyone in the entire Spirit Realm could pose a single threat.

Moreover.

He sensed the Power of Time within him. Although he hadn’t comprehended the Time Law yet, his basic control was very proficient, allowing him to freely manipulate the time flow around him, boosting his combat strength exponentially.

Zhao Ling, upon hearing this, immediately agreed: "Lord, rest assured, we will definitely complete the task."

Soon after.

A fierce wind of blood and violence swept across the entire Spirit Realm.

Until that day.

Zhao Ling, leading over a thousand Sage Realm cultivators, appeared overwhelming above a sect, from which a thunderous roar emerged.

"Who are you, insignificant ones, daring to offend me?"

The person was an elderly man with white hair and a stooped figure, appearing before everyone. Upon seeing so many Sage Realm cultivators, not only was he unafraid, but he looked at them with disdain.

"I thought what kind of monster dared to come here?"

"Turns out it’s just a bunch of Sage Realm ants. Ants are just ants; how could they possibly bite a tiger to death?"

"Since you’re here today, none of you will leave."

...

In contrast, Zhao Ling, who had always been confident, turned pale upon seeing the elderly man.

"It’s actually a Great Daoist Sage Realm!"

The so-called Great Daoist Sage Realm is where one perfects a certain Law, capable of perfectly manipulating the Power of Heaven and Earth.

Zhao Ling, being late-stage Sage Realm, was only at 50% progress toward Perfection, still with a far journey ahead of him.

Despite only a 50% difference, the gap was as vast as heaven and earth.

Even if there were ten thousand Zhao Lings, they could hardly match that elderly man.

Behind him, the group of Sage Realms trembled with fear.

They regretted provoking such an old, formidable monster.

Rumor had it there was a Great Daoist Sage in the Spirit Realm. Who would have thought he would be hidden in such a small sect?

Just as everyone braced themselves for death, a silhouette suddenly appeared before them.

That person was not very old, holding a Jade Seal in hand, gazing at the elder with indifference.

"To think there really is a Great Daoist Sage Realm here, at least it gives me a chance to test my strength before leaving."

With that said.

Under the horrified gazes of everyone.

A giant purple hand materialized out of thin air in the sky, exuding a chilling aura.

Then.

The gigantic hand rushed toward the elder, who had no time to react before he was utterly dead.

"Is that all there is?"

"There are degrees of strength among Great Daoist Sages. My purple aura is most offensive, yet your understanding of the Law of Control would lead you to die this quickly?"

After absorbing the elder’s Law, the purple aura on the Nine Dragon Jade Seal became even more solid.

Immediately.

Under everyone’s horrified gazes, Zhao Yi’s figure slowly faded away.

Zhao Ling swallowed hard. He couldn’t fathom that such a terrifying enemy couldn’t even withstand a single move from Zhao Yi. How strong must he be?
