“I hereby dere that all cultivators of this world must acknowledge allegiance to me,” Jin Yunshan said, his voice cool and clear. He took a step forward, and the Mountain and Sea Realm shook. The power of the Nine Mountains and Nine Seas had been crushed. All Mountain and Sea cultivators were trembling in body and soul under the pressure radiating down from Jin Yunshan. As of this moment, it seemed that they had no choice but to surrender.


    “I hereby dere that from this day forth, I am the lord of this realm!” A strange light gleamed in Jin Yunshan’s eyes as he took another step forward. Heaven and Earth cracked and crumbled. The Nine Mountains shook violently, and the Nine Seas churned.


    All living beings bowed their heads. Under the gaze of Jin Yunshan, they had no choice but to capitte. Behind Jin Yunshan, the boundless horde of cultivators from the Vast Expanse School were cheering excitedly.


    “Goldrobes!”


    “Goldrobes!!”


    “Goldrobes!!!”


    The sound wave created by their cries filled the starry sky of the Mountain and Sea Realm, bing the only sound that anyone could hear. Jin Yunshan hovered there, reveling in the unprecedented feeling of glory.


    In his mind, he was finally able to experience what it must have been like to be Meng Hao, to look down indifferently at everything in the starry sky.


    “Meng Hao, the world has forgotten you, but I won’t. Today... I will wipe youpletely out of existence. I will take your ce as the new lord of the starry sky!” He flicked his sleeve, and the Nine Mountains and Nine Seas trembled. But then, the fluctuations of the First Demon Sealing Hex arose from within the First Mountain and Sea.


    As the ripples closed in on Jin Yunshan, his eyes narrowed, and his hand shed in an incantation gesture. The wave of his finger caused the void to copse as he fought back against the First Hex.


    It was at that point that the Second Hex erupted from the Second Mountain and Sea. Then came the Third Hex, and the Fourth. In the blink of an eye, the power of eight Hexing magics were shooting toward Jin Yunshan.


    It was a dazzling disy that seemed capable of killing any and all living things. Time distorted, space rippled. Death was descending!


    Jin Yunshan threw his head back andughed uproariously.


    “Meng Hao, if you came out in person to fight me, I might be worried. But this paltry Mountain and Sea Realm isn’t enough to kill me. BREAK!” Even as hisughter rang out, he shoved his right hand out. Golden light exploded from his palm, spreading out in all directions, causing the entire starry sky to turn golden.


    Everything above and below shone like gold. The entire world was turning golden, even the Nine Mountains and Nine Seas, and it seemed like something which could never be changed.


    As the eight iing Hexing magics bore down on Jin Yunshan, they suddenly ground to a halt, and then shattered. At the same time, Jin Yunshan waved his sleeve, unleashing his divine sense and cultivation base. The power of Transcendence erupted out. He held nothing back, causing golden light to spread out in all directions. The First Mountain and Sea was stainedpletely golden, and the effects spread rapidly. Next was the Second Mountain and Sea. After that, the Third and Fourth Mountains and Seas became gold. The will of golden-robed Jin Yunshan forced its way into the Mountain and Sea Realm, upying it, transforming it into his own precious treasure.


    The cultivators of the Mountain and Sea Realm were inplete despair. They were suppressed, their eyes bloodshot,pletely incapable of fighting back.


    Rumbling could be heard as the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Mountains and Seas all turned golden. Jin Yunshan’sughter filled the entire realm.


    It was at this point that, with no warning whatsoever, a powerful st of energy surged out. It came from that which Meng Hao had founded the entire Ninth Mountain and Sea upon... the Seal the Heavens Hex!


    As the Hex erupted, it became an enormous de which, in the space of a single breath, bore down on Jin Yunshan. His face fell, and a tremor ran through him. Without the slightest hesitation, he swished his sleeve. Instantly, all of the cultivators from the Vast Expanse School suddenly vanished. To their shock, they reappeared in front of Jin Yunshan, a sea of people that he was attempting to use to block the de that was the Seal the Heavens Hex.


    Instantly, bloodcurdling screams began to ring out as the cultivators in front of Jin Yunshan were shed by the de. They were shredded into pieces, sending blood and gore flying out in all directions, to then rain down onto the Mountain and Sea Realm.


    The de continued to scream along toward the golden-robed Jin Yunshan.


    His scalp waspletely numb; this was the first time since Transcending that he had experienced such a sensation of critical danger.


    “Impossible! I refuse to believe that I can’t fight this magical item of yours, Meng Hao!” Roaring with rage, Jin Yunshan performed an incantation gesture and then waved his finger. Rumbling sounds erupted as a huge turtle shell appeared in front of him. It was none other than the precious treasure of the Vast Expanse School, which was now being used to intercept the de.


    BOOOOOOOOOMMM!


    The Vast Expanse School’s precious treasure, the turtle shell, exploded into bits. At the same time, though, the iing de seemed to grow blurry.


    After all... the de was not being unleashed by Meng Hao personally; it was merely the power of the magical item itself, and obviously had limitations!


    Jin Yunshan’s eyes glowed with excitement, and even a flicker of viciousness. He fell back, waving his sleeve to summon numerous worlds,nd masses, ands, all to intercept the de and defend himself.


    Heaven and Earth trembled. The starry sky shook. Worlds were destroyed,s were shattered, andnd masses burst into mes. However, the de was slowly fading until it almost wasn’t visible.


    Finally, Jin Yunshan’s cultivation base erupted with the power of Transcendence. Howling, he stopped moving backward, and jumped forward to meet the de.


    As the two met, the de faded away, bing countless vanishing fragments. However, it still passed through Jin Yunshan. Even his Transcendent fleshly body couldn’t block it.


    Blood sprayed out of his mouth, and one of his arms waspletely severed. Next, his body trembled, and then copsed into pieces.


    The only thing which remained was his head. And yet, he wasughing uproariously. Unexpectedly, his body formed back together, and was whole once more.


    He seemed very weak, his face drastically pale. He had been immeasurably close to death moments ago. Had the de not dissipated when it did, he would definitely have been destroyed in body and soul.


    Now, having believed himself to have defeated the precious treasure that was the Mountain and Sea Realm, heughed and waved his sleeve, causing golden light to spill out toward the Ninth Mountain and Sea.


    Momentster, it seemed as if the Ninth Mountain and Sea were about to bepletely transformed into the color of gold. The Mountain and Sea Realm cultivators were in a state ofplete hopelessness, their world shattered.


    Jin Yunshan’s eyes glowed with longing, with madness, with covetousness. At the same time, he continued tough uproariously.


    “Meng Hao, at longst the time hase in which Ipletely rece you!”


    In that very moment, even as the words left his mouth, a voice spoke out from behind him, a calm and very familiar voice that struck his heart like a bolt of lightning.


    “Long time no see.”
