Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Bang -

A formidable aura broke free from his body like a volcano erupting without warning. A wild strength instantly flooded out into every corner of the temple. These 11 Demonic Path Elders, these 11 Calamity Immortal super powerhouses were instantly suppressed by the aura!

This was easily accomplished without any resistance at all. Because this wasn't just pure strength, but also represented a completely different level.

In Eastern Sun City, every cultivator instantly felt their heart quicken with awe and reverence. They looked up into the skies with wide panic-stricken eyes and discovered that the heavens had turned dark, as if a great bird had spread its wings and blocked out the sun.

In the next moment, the skies shattered like glass. Then, an incomparably massive construction of palaces arrived with unparalleled momentum.

Within it, silent and boundless array formations began to recover from their slumber. A dazzling brilliance erupted, so bright that they even drowned out the nine blazing suns in the sky.

A dignified, honored, and boundless aura emanated from the palace, causing everyone's minds to shake. Submission rose from the depths of their souls and they unconsciously fell down to their knees.

Qin Yu's robes tumbled around him. His eyes shined like stars as he revealed an unprecedented momentum and confidence. The 11 Elders in the temple froze like iron statues. Their eyes widened, their lips shivered, and their faces paled.

This aura…this aura…

They couldn't be mistaken, there was no way!

Holy Monarch…from this day forth, the Holy Palace had a new master….

As soon as this thought appeared, a loud and deafening ringing came from the Holy Palace that arrived above Eastern Sun City. It spread out at an amazing speed, soon resounding throughout the entire Demonic Path small world.

It wasn't like thunder. Rather, it was like a great beast slowly awakening from a deep sleep. It reared back its head and roared in excitement, as if announcing to the people of this world that a new unsurpassed existence had appeared, one that could use the heavens and earth as its chessboard.

Elder Li's pupils violently shrank. But in the next moment he directly vanished from sight. He fell to his knees and shouted out in shaking joy, "Elder Li Tianchun pays his respects to Your Highness the Holy Monarch!"

The Demon Envoy was the second to respond. He looked at Qin Yu with disbelief etched across his face. He quickly became aware of something and his heart shook. No wonder Qin Yu had been so calm just now; it was because everything had been in the grasp of his palm to begin with.

As he thought about his own actions his face flushed red. He bowed right beside Li Tianchun, "Demon Envoy An Yang pays his respects to the Holy Monarch!"

The six Elders behind them heard a loud thunderous crack in their minds as if countless horses were racing through their thoughts. They lost the ability to think and knelt in a fl.u.s.tered panic.

At almost the same time, their eyes fell on the Second Elder, Heavenly Fire, and the Seventh Elder, and they all had the same thoughts - these three were done for!

The Holy Son and Holy Monarch. Only a single word differentiated them, but their statuses were as different as the heavens and earth.

While they were confused about how Qin Yu could break into the Saint level Demon Body in just several dozen years, the reality was placed before them.

The Holy Monarch was the master of the Holy Palace, the one that held the highest degree of authority within the Demonic Path. Even though what Qin Yu faced were Elder level existences, he still had the authority to slay them if he pleased.

This wasn't just an act, but true and tangible power. This was because the master of the Holy Palace was a nearly invincible existence in the Demonic Path small world…he could even kill a Calamity Immortal!

The faces of the Second Elder, Heavenly Fire, and the Seventh Elder all drained of blood. Their eyes revealed startled anger followed by panic.

How could it be like this?

They had indeed collected enormous advantages and only because of that did they agree to help deal with Qin Yu. But, they never imagined that they would be leaping into the fire.

If there was medicine for regret in this world, the three of them would pay any price and purchase it without hesitation…but there wasn't.

Heavenly Fire welcomed Qin Yu's gaze and his palms began to quiver. At this moment he wished he could choke that old bastard Mu Yunli to death!

Qin Yu said in a cold voice, "Second, Fifth, and Seventh Elder, they have conspired against their superior and plotted against me. From this moment forth they are to be deprived of all status and imprisoned in the Demon Suppressing Prison."

He looked at them from above like a god looking down on the world. "Fifth Elder, since you wish to shoulder the majority of the responsibility, then I sentence you to be tossed into the third level of the Demon Suppression Prison, never to be released without a pardon!"

The Fifth Elder's eyes widened and loud croaking sounds came from his throat. His robes were soon drenched by a cold sweat.

The temple instantly fell silent!

Even the Demon Envoy couldn't help but widen his eyes, revealing a shaken expression. This punishment was far too heavy, even for the Fifth Elder. It had to be known that the third level of the Demon Suppression Prison was a place comparable to hell!

In other words, with just an order Qin Yu had toppled three Elder level characters into the dust!

When a rabbit died the fox would also feel grief. The other Elders in the temple glanced at each other with shocked expressions.

Qin Yu said, "Does anyone object?"

His words were cold and chilling, piercing straight into the heart.

The other Elders all stiffened. They didn't doubt that Qin Yu still had the bravado to continue pressing the attack. Since he had already decided to send three Elders into the Demon Suppression Prison, what did he care about adding one or two more?

Everyone lowered their heads.

The lips of the Second Elder shivered. He knelt to the ground, "I am willing to endure the Holy Monarch's punishment."

The Seventh Elder kneeled soon after.

Only the Fifth Elder remained where he stood with a gloomy expression, regret clouding over his eyes.

The third level of the Demon Suppression Prison…no release without a pardon…when these two phrases were placed together, it was no different from a dead end. He was the Holy Palace's Fifth Elder, a great figure that stood above a trillion lives. How could he accept such a pitiful ending!?

Heavenly Fire clenched his teeth and looked at Qin Yu. But at this time, he froze over. This was because he could sense a faintly eager sense of anticipation coming from Qin Yu. This feeling was like a bucket of cold water being poured over him, immediately awakening him from his stupor.

Qin Yu was waiting for him to revolt…he wanted to kill him…

Heavenly Fire quickly regained his composure. Qin Yu had already obtained the recognition of the Holy Palace. He was now an invincible existence in the Demonic Path Holy Land small world. Killing him would be an easy task, and most importantly, Qin Yu had a reason to kill him!

No, I cannot die like this…I must live…for better or worse I am still a Calamity Immortal.

He gritted his teeth. If he lived, there would come a day when he would be free!

Puff -

Elder Heavenly Fire fell to his knees. "I thank Your Majesty the Holy Monarch for showing mercy!" Since he knew that Qin Yu already wanted to kill him, it was best to say these words and suffocate any chance of him doing so. Who knew what would happen? Perhaps the day after he entered the Demon Suppression Prison he would be mysteriously killed off!

Qin Yu swept his eyes around. Although he had no expression, Elder Heavenly Fire felt as if he could sense a bit of unspeakable disappointment. The old man suddenly rejoiced in his decision. Luckily for him, he was quick-witted enough that he didn't fall for this boy's tricks!

Qin Yu's heart relaxed. While he wasn't scared of killing, if he were to slaughter an Elder as soon as he ascended the throne of the Holy Monarch, that would surely initiate a series of reactions and cause a number of twists and turns in the transition of power. While it would subside in time, what he needed the most right now was time. The last thing he wanted to do was wait.

He had established his prestige as the Holy Monarch and had obtained a promise from the master of the Dao Arena. Now, Qin Yu was eager to go straight to the Immortal Sect.

This could be called the best result.

He flicked his sleeves. Space warped and a black hole opened. A horrifying yin chill gushed out. With bitter faces full of grief, the Second Elder, Heavenly Fire, and the Seventh Elder all crawled up from the ground and staggered towards the black entrance.

Shua -

The black hole vanished. With this, three Elder level characters had from this point on withdrawn from the stage of infinite glory.

A new era had arrived!
