For a long moment, everyone was in shock, their eyes filled with awe as they looked at Leo. Who would have thought that a formidable Spirit God realm expert would be defeated by the leader of the Seven Stars Sect?
Oceanus and Hale exchanged glances, both seeing the astonishment and admiration in each other’s eyes. As half-step Spirit God realm cultivators themselves, they lacked even the courage to confront a Spirit God realm expert, yet the Seven Stars Sect leader managed to defeat one.
In the sky, as Makhi’s figure vanished, a cold gleam flickered in Leo’s eyes, but he did not pursue. Although Makhi, a Spirit God realm expert, was severely injured, it was nearly impossible for Leo to capture him.
The battle with Makhi intensified Leo’s desire to break through to the Spirit God realm. After all, the Galactic Dynasty had more than just Makhi as a Spirit God realm expert. Only by becoming stronger could he protect himself and those around him.
Below, Bone Dusk’s withered hand clutched his serpent staff tightly, his body trembling slightly with fear and apprehension as he looked at Leo. If he hadn’t witnessed it himself, Bone Dusk would never have believed that a high and mighty Spirit God realm expert could be defeated by a half-step Spirit God realm cultivator.
“Great Priest,” Magnus said with a grim expression, looking at Bone Dusk. They had initially attacked the Seven Stars Sect, creating significant enmity. Now that Makhi was defeated and fled, their fate was easy to imagine.
“Let’s go!” Bone Dusk’s old face twitched as he glanced fearfully at Leo, gritting his teeth in hatred. Magnus nodded and signaled to Marigold and Maverick, who also wore grim expressions.
In the next moment, Bone Dusk and Magnus unleashed their spiritual power, transforming into two streams of light shooting away from the Seven Stars Sect. Marigold and the other three elders, along with Maverick, also channeled their spiritual power and followed closely.
“Hmph, trying to leave now? Isn’t it a bit late?” In mid-air, Leo snorted coldly. “Stay here!”
With an icy expression, Leo formed intricate seals with his hands. As the seals took shape, six Nether Flames surged from within him and disappeared into the void before him.
As the six Nether Flames vanished, the space around Bone Dusk, Magnus, and the others suddenly fluctuated. Within a hundred meters of them, sea-blue flames erupted, forming six fireballs that trapped each of them inside.
Trapped within the fireballs created by the Nether Flame, Bone Dusk’s old face changed drastically as a strong sense of danger overwhelmed him. A fierce look flashed across his face as he channeled his spiritual power madly into his serpent staff.
The serpent staff seemed to come alive, transforming into a dark green giant snake with sharp fangs. On its head was a sharp blade-like spike.
“Break for me!” Bone Dusk shouted fiercely as the giant snake lunged towards the fireball’s inner wall like a fierce stream of light.
With a loud explosion, to Bone Dusk’s surprise, the fireball’s inner wall only rippled violently without showing any signs of breaking.
Boom! Boom! Boom…!
A series of dull explosions echoed as the six trapped individuals unleashed their strongest techniques against the fireball walls.
Watching them struggle within the fireballs, a cold indifference flashed across Leo’s face as he clasped his hands together and uttered, “Explode!”
Boom!!
The six fireballs formed by the Nether Flame contracted inward simultaneously and then exploded amidst the terrified expressions of those inside.
The explosion produced an earth-shattering noise that made the eardrums of everyone on Seven Stars Plaza ache.
“Ah…!”
After the deafening explosion came agonizing screams. Five of them were reduced to blood mist and fragments in the massive explosion. Only one person remained, enveloped in purple-gold flames, fleeing swiftly towards the horizon.
Upon closer inspection, his body was covered in blood, with muscles torn apart-a truly harrowing sight.
Seeing that someone had survived, Leo’s gaze sharpened. The one wrapped in purple-gold flames was Maverick, protected by one of the Celestial Artifacts-the Lava Beast Fire.
“I swear by Maverick, I will destroy your Seven Stars Sect!” Maverick roared venomously once he thought he was safe after fleeing far away.
“Heh, do you think you’ll get that chance?” Leo’s face turned cold as he took a step forward.
In the distant sky ahead of Maverick, space fluctuated. In an instant, Leo appeared before Maverick, his right hand engulfed in sea-blue flames reaching down towards Maverick’s head.
With his body completely locked by energy and unable to move, Maverick’s eyes filled with madness as he roared, “I’ll take you down with me!”
Maverick attempted to self-destruct.
Nether Flame surged out and instantly enveloped Maverick. “You are not qualified to take me down with you. On Pill Sovereign Island, I spared your life out of respect for Pill Sovereign’s seniority. Today you dare to act recklessly again; I will not spare you!”
Leo’s voice was cold and merciless as Nether Flame poured into Maverick’s body. At that moment, Maverick couldn’t even self-destruct as his tall body was completely consumed by Nether Flame from inside out.
“Ah… scum… Galactic Dynasty won’t let you off!” Maverick howled in despair.
“Is that so? Even if that day comes, unfortunately for you, you won’t see it.”
Under the terrifying burn of Nether Flame, Maverick’s body quickly turned into black ash and scattered with the wind.
At this moment, all forces on Seven Stars Plaza couldn’t help but feel their hearts tremble violently. From today onwards, the renowned Savage God Sect would vanish from this world. With Magnus and the other five from Savage God Sect buried here, their sect would inevitably be divided among surrounding forces.
However, no one sympathized with Savage God Sect; in this Cultivator’s World where only the strong survive, such occurrences were all too common.
After Maverick’s tall body disappeared, a palm-sized purple-gold flame appeared in mid-air. Within it was the shape of a Lava Behemoth. As it burned brightly with low beastly roars emanating from within it, Leo’s eyes lit up. This was indeed Celestial Artifact Lava Beast Fire’s essence!
Leo channeled spiritual power from his right hand to envelop Lava Beast Fire before disappearing into thin air once more, only to reappear at Seven Stars Plaza’s center moments later.
As they gazed upon Leo standing at Seven Stars Plaza’s center, all forces present involuntarily lowered their heads slightly. Even those like Azure Sky Sword Sect leader Oceanus or Celestial Origin Dynasty King Hale, both half-step Spirit God realm experts, showed traces of awe in their eyes.
Now that Leo had severely injured a Spirit God realm expert while effortlessly annihilating six members from Savage God Sect, their hearts held nothing but respect and fear for him now.
“Sect Master! Long live!”
“Seven Stars Sect! Long live!”
Onlookers at Seven Stars Plaza were filled with excitement as disciples from Seven Stars Sect shouted in unison.
