Chapter 774 Executing Maha Clan

A Saint Grade expert had fallen.

Everyone present was struck speechless—shocked, horrified, unable to comprehend what they had just witnessed.

This was no ordinary powerhouse. This was a Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign—one of the true pillars that upheld the Great Thousand World. And yet… he died. Just like that.

What made it even more terrifying was the manner of his death. The one who killed—and devoured—the Ancient Maha Clan's Grand Elder was not Liu Xi himself, but the six colossal demonic shadows behind him, each one exuding the overwhelming might of a Heavenly Demon Emperor.

The moment this scene unfolded, hundreds of powerful experts erupted in chaos.

Maha Tian stumbled backward several steps, fear flickering through his gaze. Only after a breath did he finally react—realising how humiliating his retreat looked. His face flushed red, then pale, then red again.

Seeing the sky filled with demonic energy and a cold, devouring aura, Maha Tian's eyes tightened with both terror and a faint glimmer of excitement. Then he pointed at Liu Xi and roared.

"Qing Lian! Three years ago, we thought you sacrificed yourself for the Great Thousand World. But who would have imagined—you actually betrayed us and joined the Abyss Domain!"

A thunderous accusation.

Countless eyes immediately locked onto Liu Xi, waiting for his answer.

Because if this were true, it would shake the world.

Liu Xi's expression was calm, voice unhurried.

"If I had joined the Abyss Domain, why would I return to the Great Thousand World? Can't you see? These are corpses—souls of Heavenly Demon Emperors I personally killed, refined into a divine ability… the Six Desires Heavenly Demon."

It was rare for Liu Xi to explain anything at all—but he had a purpose.

According to the edicts of the Great Thousand Palace.

Anyone who slays a Heavenly Demon Emperor is recognised as a Demon Slaying King.

Liu Xi had slain six.

These six shadows were his badge of invincibility—his justification for doing whatever he pleased.

As expected, after hearing Liu Xi's explanation, countless experts examined the demonic shadows again. Though their auras were terrifying, the faint layer of death energy coating them was unmistakable.

They were not living entities.

Realisation dawned. Many gasped.

The only explanation was clear.

Liu Xi had been lost in the Abyss Domain. Not only had he survived…

He had fought his way back over three years, killing six Heavenly Demon Emperors along the way.

The Six Desires Heavenly Demon was proof.

Silence followed.

Yes—the Great Thousand World had rules. Heavenly Sovereigns and above were not allowed to fight freely. These rules existed to ensure enough strength remained to resist the Abyss.

But rules were dead things.

People were alive.

And sometimes, rules could be bent.

Especially when the Ancient Maha Clan had brought this disaster upon themselves.

Liu Xi had killed six Heavenly Demon Emperors. Now he killed a Saint Grade expert.

Compared to that, this "crime" was nothing.

By now, Liu Xi understood the situation clearly.

If he openly defied the rules, the entire Great Thousand World might strike back. Even the Five Ancient Clans were bound by these laws—otherwise chaos would reign, and soon no one would be left alive.

He did not need to provoke that backlash.

His anger burned, but his mind was steady.

Instead of using the Nine-Turn Profound Art—which would have implicated him directly—he used the Six Desires Heavenly Demon. This was his way of telling the Great Thousand World.

"I have shed blood for this world. I have earned the right to demand justice."

And now, he could execute the Ancient Maha Clan openly.

The six colossal demonic shadows loomed behind Liu Xi, towering over heaven and earth. He stood among them, eyes cold, aura murderous, gazing down upon the trembling Maha clan forces.

"Maha Tian… how do you want to die?"

His voice was icy, each word carrying a killing intent that sent chills running through countless spines.

Maha Tian's pupils shrank. But after confirming Liu Xi had regained the moral high ground, he made a decisive move.

He formed a seal, spat a mouthful of essence blood into the void, and somewhere deep within the Maha Continent, a black-and-white light pillar erupted into the heavens—piercing through space itself.

Liu Xi lifted a hand.

The six colossal demonic shadows surged forward in unison, surrounding the entire fleet of the Ancient Maha Clan. Their auras locked onto every living being.

Death loomed overhead.

Boom!

Space shattered.

A black-and-white jade bottle shot out of the spatial rupture, its appearance instantly drowning the world in an overwhelming tidal wave of power.

Black and white surged—an ocean of Yin and Yang engulfing the sky. Its oppressive force devoured the surrounding Heaven and Earth Energy, turning the world itself into a monochrome domain.

The Ancient Maha Clan's Saint Grade Peerless Saint Artifact—

The Yin-Yang Maha Gourd.

Yin and Yang intertwined within it, erupting with terrifying power. A Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign paired with a Saint Grade Peerless Saint Artifact created a storm of black-and-white radiance capable of swallowing the heavens.

For the moment, it held the six demonic giants at bay.

All across the Great Thousand World, hidden experts exchanged thoughts.

"Maha Tian actually summoned the Yin-Yang Maha Gourd… With this, he might really survive today…"

"Perhaps. But the Ancient Maha Clan has already lost a Saint. Even if they live through this, their decline is inevitable."

"No one expected Qing Lian to return alive from the Abyss Domain—and even kill six Heavenly Demon Emperors. Each demonic shadow has Demon Emperor strength… This divine ability may surpass many Supreme Divine Abilities."

"..."

"Still… that was decisive."

Liu Xi's eyes narrowed. Murderous light flickered within them.

He formed a seal.

"But today, you still die. Come!"

Deep within the Azure Flame Heaven, the sky trembled.

A streak of azure light shot forth—landing before Liu Xi.

A small medicinal cauldron, barely a meter tall, its entire surface engraved with lotus patterns.

The Azure Lotus Cauldron.

Liu Xi tapped its surface lightly, satisfaction showing in his eyes.

"Not bad. In just three years, you've grown into an Immortal Grade supreme artifact. A few more years, and you'll reach Saint Grade. You're already not worse than that broken bottle over there."

Azure Lotus Cauldron. (/≧▽≦)/

Liu Xi slapped the cauldron gently.

The cauldron tilted.

Endless azure flames roared out—an ocean of blazing lotus fire erupting like a volcanic sea.

The azure sea surged outward, flooding heaven and earth. Even the black-and-white Yin-Yang domain was forced backward by its terrifying, scorching might.

Three years ago, when Liu Xi forged the Azure Flame Heaven, he placed the cauldron at its deepest core—letting it refine the Heaven and Earth Energy of the Burning Heaven Continent for three years straight.

And now—

All of that power erupted at once.

Though its essence was still slightly inferior to the Yin-Yang Maha Gourd, the sheer explosive force in this moment was no weaker.

The azure sea continued to spread—fierce, tyrannical, blazing—swallowing everything in its path. The black-and-white ocean shrank rapidly, exposing the fleet hidden within.

They had nowhere left to run.
