Yun Xiao appeared without warning.

As the 1,500 troops of the Alliance Army neared the Extreme Yin Star, their spirits surged with anticipation. Amidst their fervor, they suddenly encountered the very person they most desired to eliminate!

They had feared Yun Xiao might turn tail and flee; after all, they longed to squash this

fly

. Yet here he was, revealing himself of his own accord? Alone, standing before their grand army?

As Yun Xiao's white robes fluttered into view, the Alliance Army halted abruptly. Eyes widened in disbelief and astonishment.

"How dare he?"

What did a 1,500-strong army of geniuses represent?

In the Heavenly Deity Stellar River region of the Grand Assembly Arena, there were 555 Taiyi Sourcecores, with the total number of geniuses barely reaching 10,000!

These righteous warriors, rallied together by the Southern Divine Dragon Realm and four Heavenly Deity Alliance sects, represented almost a quarter of the celestial sects of the Heavenly Deity Stellar River!

What had been a chaotic melee of sieges and conquests was forcibly turned into a standoff between good and evil by the Southern Divine Dragon Realm and Yun Xiao.

The two forces of the Alliance Army, totaling 3,000 troops altogether, had long agreed. Once the eradication of evil was complete—severing any chance of the Extreme Yin Star entering the top ten—the Heavenly Deity Stellar River region would, like the others, return to its rhythm of chaotic warfare.

The 1,500 troops before Yun Xiao embodied the will of almost 200 Heavenly Monarch sects in the Heavenly Deity Stellar River!

The incidents involving the Young Dragon Consort and Zu Wei had indeed pushed many neutral parties toward the Southern Divine Dragon Realm.

When a giant was about to fall, plenty of hyenas were eager to pounce and divide the spoils.

Such was human nature. It had nothing to do with good or evil. This was simply the reality of things.

"That celestial slave has appeared!"

Mocking voices spread across the battlefield.

The advancing troops fanned out, eagerly crowding forward, stretching their necks as if watching a monkey perform.

"First, check if there are any other roadblocks around!" Soon, the majestic and resonant voice of the Young Dragon Lord echoed.

𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

From that solemn and cold tone, one could hear Long Hao's loathing for this celestial slave. How could he forget the humiliation he'd endured?

"There don't appear to be any enemy forces within 20 miles, sir!"

Before long, it was confirmed that Yun Xiao stood alone.

Upon hearing this, Long Hao and Long Kun frowned. They were truly displeased; in the past, those who acted as recklessly as Yun Xiao were the first to die.

Boasting to the point of inciting public wrath! Yet why wouldn't he die?

For a moment, silence fell over the crowd.

The Young Dragon Consort, Shen Nanyin, brimming with resolve and overflowing hatred, was about to erupt.

In her imagination, Yun Xiao should have been hiding deep within the Extreme Yin Star, shivering in fear.

"How could he be so audacious?"

The more forceful this celestial slave became, refusing to cower as they had expected, the more Shen Nanyin's hardened resolve began to waver. She felt her battle armor grow cold against her skin, as if riddled with unseen flaws.

"Fine then, let's kill this spineless eunuch dog first!" Shen Nanyin spat through gritted teeth. The venom in her words masked an instinctive fear that gnawed at her.

"Exactly. That dead eunuch is simply stalling for time to protect the Extreme Yin Star. By putting on this tough act, he's only exposing their weakness and helplessness." Shi Feifei, a nine-foot beauty with curling blood-red hair and seductive charm, bit her red lips and spoke with disdain.

The two Young Dragon Lords exchanged glances. Long Kun saw the boundless killing intent in Long Hao's eyes and sensed his urgency.

"In that case, let's turn this to our advantage," Long Kun said. "Continue marching toward the Extreme Yin Star and force him to act!"

They needed to corner Yun Xiao because, last time, when he captured Shen Nanyin, he demonstrated agility and speed that made him hard to catch in the starry expanse. But now, they would corner him so he couldn't escape.

"Yun Lingchen, Zhao Canglan..." Long Hao looked toward the couple from the Elysian Immortal Palace.

The blue-clad youth, as handsome as an Immortal from the vast seas, maintained a calm and elegant demeanor. "The Extreme Yin Celestial Realm poisons celestial slaves. This one was once a victim, yet now he aids the wicked. That makes him even more detestable. We must eliminate him swiftly, restore righteousness to the Heavenly Deity Stellar River, and give other victims closure."

"Well said." Long Hao smiled, golden flames burning in his eyes, a volcano of rage ready to erupt within his chest.

He glanced at Yun Lingchen. This noble maiden, though possessing unparalleled beauty, had the temperament of a little sister—pure and adorable. Regarding Yun Xiao, she seemed indifferent.

"Lingchen, what do you think?" Zhao Canglan asked her with a gentle smile.

Yun Lingchen's gaze swept over 1,000 troops. At first glance, she saw the white-robed youth standing alone. Her eyes brightened slightly.

She had heard tales of this celestial slave's vile deeds and imagined he would be a bald, scarred brute or perhaps a gloomy figure with a face caked in makeup. Unexpectedly, the youth before them, his white robes fluttering, was a peerless, handsome man.

Zhao Canglan was already considered the epitome of the human race's young and dashing Immortals. Yet, the youth standing before the 1,500 troops, hands clasped behind his back, possessed a demeanor even more striking.

Just one glance, and he was hard to forget.

"Facing 1,500 troops alone—quite brave indeed," Yun Lingchen said softly, her cherry lips parting as her beautiful eyes shimmered.

"Those in decline need a gimmick," Zhao Canglan explained.

"Alright then..." Yun Lingchen glanced at the Young Dragon Consort, Shen Nanyin. Recalling those explosive rumors and comparing Yun Xiao's physique to Shen Nanyin's, she couldn't help but stick out her tongue. She thought to herself, "Could this celestial slave have a mother complex? So young and already reduced to a eunuch—truly pitiful."

Of course, she kept these thoughts to herself; if she voiced them, Long Hao would surely be furious.

Long Hao didn't want to wait another moment. He raised his hand high.

Seeing that enormous, dragon-scaled arm lifted skyward, the 1,500 troops of the Alliance Army sprang into action.

That arm was larger than the entire bodies of many women.

"Righteousness destroys evil! Purge our Stellar River of the wicked!"

Assuming the stance of righteous superiors wielding great power, the Alliance Army fixed their gaze on Yun Xiao and shouted their slogans.

"Rescuing celestial slaves is everyone's duty!"

"But not this castrated dog whose soul has been corrupted by the Harmony Divine Palace!"

"Eunuch dog! Eunuch dog!"

"A rootless coward without manhood! Laughable, ridiculous!"

They hadn't even reached him yet, but jeers rang out loudly. Every man and woman mocked Yun Xiao; they had no such physical flaws, but he did.

Seizing upon this, they despised and humiliated him without restraint.

"Strip off his white robes!"

"Let everyone in the Samsara Galaxy see his shameful scar!"

"Neither male nor female, the most despicable under heaven!"

People were hypocrites. While shouting about rescuing celestial slaves, they unabashedly mocked their opponent's flaws.

Their aim was to break Yun Xiao's defenses, to make him feel shame, humiliation, and pain.

If Yun Xiao truly were a celestial slave, these mocking, ridiculing, and scornful gazes would indeed cause him suffering, especially with so many beautiful Immortals casting disdainful looks. This was the most merciless contempt, unbearable for any celestial slave.

But unfortunately for them, Yun Xiao was flawless.

At that moment, the Alliance Army pressed forward with curses, their mocking voices shaking the heavens.

But the white-robed youth, gripping an azure sword, calmly pointed it ahead.

He swept his gaze over the endless ranks of geniuses and said, "Step forward, and your lives end here."
