Chapter 1186: Cheating Again!

TL: Etude

Luanfeng Continent

The people of the Feng Family had migrated to the Luanfeng Continent. Gradually, they accepted this new reality and began building a foundation for their clan in this unfamiliar land.

A large number of the Feng Family’s powerful members started constructing palaces, arranging vast formations, and establishing cultivation grounds across the region.

Soon, buildings of remarkable grandeur rose across the land, spreading over a vast area.

The members of the Feng Family began settling into their mansions one by one. The entire clan appeared peaceful and thriving, as if ready to begin a new chapter.

Abruptly, a figure tore through the void and descended upon Luanfeng Continent.

Ye Tian had chosen not to descend in his own body. He knew that if his true identity were exposed—whether as the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws or Heavenly King Nine Limits—it would spell great danger.

Instead, he used his unique ability to copy bodies. This time, he chose to replicate the form of Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle. After all, this operation targeted the Feng Family, a faction under the influence of the Heavenly Emperor Palace. If the palace discovered his involvement, they would investigate thoroughly. Ye Tian could not afford to leave any traces linking back to himself.

Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle, an ultimate Dao Ancestor of the Seventh Heaven, was a perfect choice for the disguise. He possessed the strength to annihilate the Feng Family effortlessly. Moreover, Ye Tian had studied Stone Eagle’s abilities in detail. The Dao Ancestor had two powerful core talents: the Stone Dao-level Rock Dragon Armor and the Ice Dao-level Cold Wind.Ye Tian planned to execute an Ice Dao technique, the Ice Shadow Cold Qi Technique—a technique he had never used before—to mimic Stone Eagle’s style. Even if the Heavenly Emperor Palace investigated, they would conclude that Stone Eagle was the perpetrator, not him.

“It’s nothing personal, Stone Eagle,” Ye Tian murmured to himself. “But enemies are enemies.”

Ye Tian did not stop at copying the body. He also altered the aura and energy signature slightly to avoid any discrepancy. After all, no one would commit such a high-profile act without camouflaging themselves.

Upon descending over the Feng Family’s settlement, Ye Tian’s arrival caught the attention of the Feng Family Dao Ancestors.

“Who are you?” a Dao Ancestor from the Feng Family demanded as they emerged.

The Feng Family, despite its decline, still boasted dozens of Dao Ancestors. At this moment, all of them appeared, surrounding Ye Tian.

“I am your death!” Ye Tian declared coldly.

Without hesitation, he unleashed the Ice Shadow Cold Qi Technique. This Grand Thousand Dao Technique, though only at the minor accomplishment realm in Ye Tian’s hands, became unimaginably devastating due to his immense strength.

In an instant, the icy energy swept across the area, freezing several Dao Ancestors of the Feng Family in place. They stood frozen, incapable of any resistance.

The cold air expanded rapidly, consuming the buildings that the Feng Family had constructed. Countless members of the Feng Family were encased in ice, their lives extinguished within moments.

In a short span of time, the entire Luanfeng Continent was enveloped in an endless frost. Every living being on the continent was eradicated.

For Ye Tian, annihilating a continent was a trivial matter. Luanfeng Continent, a newly formed land filled with ferocious beasts and remnants of ancient chaotic bloodlines, had little significance. Since it was not a place populated by humans, Ye Tian showed no hesitation in his actions.

With his task complete, Ye Tian swiftly departed, ensuring he left no trace that might lead the Heavenly Emperor Palace to intercept him.

Word of the Feng Family’s fate quickly spread. Many forces familiar with the clan heard of their destruction. Despite their weakened state, the Feng Family was still considered a significant power under the Heavenly Emperor Palace’s banner. Their sudden demise shocked the region.

The Feng Family had recently invited guests from various families and factions to a grand celebration marking their new foundation. Those who arrived after the incident discovered only a frozen wasteland, where the once-thriving Feng Family had been utterly obliterated.

Soon, the devastating news reached the Heavenly Emperor Palace, igniting a firestorm of fury within its ranks.

…

Imperial Monarch Guangling, accompanied by a group of Dao Ancestors, descended upon the icy ruins of Luanfeng Continent. Though such matters typically did not require his personal attention, the circumstances of this incident were different.

The Feng Family had been under the Heavenly Emperor Palace’s banner. For them to be destroyed so soon after relocating was an insult to the palace’s prestige. If the incident were not handled properly, it would undermine the Heavenly Emperor Palace’s authority in the eyes of countless allied families.

“We must investigate this thoroughly,” Imperial Monarch Guangling declared, his tone sharp and commanding.

He began his analysis on-site.

“This appears to be the work of the Grand Thousand Dao Technique, Ice Shadow Cold Qi. It’s a relatively common Ice Dao Technique, but judging by the intensity, it was executed by a Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor.”

The Profound Void Archaic Realm had a limited number of Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors, and several were proficient in Ice Dao Techniques. Identifying the culprit would not be an easy task.

“Perhaps we can deduce the enemy’s identity from the residual Daoist aura,” Imperial Monarch Guangling murmured. Deduction techniques were a common investigative tool, though they were not foolproof. Many cultivators possessed treasures to shield their auras, making it difficult to pinpoint their identities.

Imperial Monarch Guangling activated the deduction technique, focusing on the traces left by the assailant. Images began to form, revealing fragments of the event. A figure appeared briefly, unleashing the Ice Shadow Cold Qi Technique to annihilate the Feng Family. However, the deduction faltered, the image shattering into nothingness.

“The deduction technique is too weak for this level of concealment,” Imperial Monarch Guangling muttered. “Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors are not so easily traced.”

This situation demanded more advanced tools. Imperial Monarch Guangling decided to request the use of the Heavenly Emperor Palace’s Time-Space Imperial Mirror—a sacred artifact capable of revealing the identities of even the most elusive enemies.

With permission granted, a fragment of the Time-Space Imperial Mirror was brought to Luanfeng Continent. Imperial Monarch Guangling infused it with the Daoist aura left by the assailant. The mirror began to hum, extracting space-time fragments from the scene to reconstruct the attacker’s identity.

Rays of light illuminated the frozen landscape as the mirror worked. Layer by layer, the figure’s aura and camouflage were stripped away, revealing their true form.

When the image solidified, Imperial Monarch Guangling’s eyes widened in shock and fury.

“It’s him!” he roared.
