When Yun Xiao's sword annihilated Zhao Canglan and Cloud Annihilation, a thunderous roar erupted throughout the Million Starlight Palace.

Such a colossal commotion signified that countless elders and mighty figures were so utterly shocked they lost their composure.

As Yun Xiao's sword swept through, Zhao Canglan's lower body and all

three legs

were severed. Everyone present, young and old alike, stared wide-eyed at the scene, feeling a chilling coldness in their own legs.

"Wretched slave!!"

Hundreds of Heavenly Monarchs from the Elysian Immortal Palace were in attendance. At that moment, they all rose in unison, eyes blazing with fury, their powerful auras sweeping across the surroundings.

From their contorted faces and clenched fists, one could see how unbearable their rage was.

Earlier, it was the Southern Divine Dragon Realm, the Ancestral Land, and Nine Yin Soul Sea that suffered. Now it was their turn.

"Canglan..."

On the side of the Southern Divine Dragon Realm, Gong Tianjian—the Chief of the Heavenly Deity Alliance's Joint Law Enforcement Division—had been optimistic and arrogant before this sword strike, her face full of confidence and strategy.

Zhao Canglan was her pride, bringing her immense glory.

A disciple she personally nurtured, closer than a son!

Ask any mother. Seeing her son's three legs severed, while he curled up and wailed—how could her heart not break?

Gong Tianjian immediately crushed the armrest of her seat. Her eyes were bloodshot, her face twisted into a grimace. Though small in stature, she raged like a primordial beast.

"Ahhh!"

Decades of painstaking effort vanished in an instant; her mindset was beyond explosive.

Her hatred for Yun Xiao had reached the very top of her head.

How did they let this monster into the Grand Assembly Arena? It was too late for regrets now!

There were too few people from the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm—only her subordinate, the Ice Cloud Valkyrie Queen.

At this moment, even the Ice Cloud Valkyrie Queen looked stunned.

Even if Gong Tianjian had volcanic fury, there was nowhere to vent it.

Her own disciple had lost in a two versus one duel. So, would she kill the Ice Cloud Valkyrie Queen on the spot? That was definitely impossible!

She couldn't even berate the Ice Cloud Valkyrie Queen; it would only make her lose face even more, because Zhao Canglan and Yun Lingchen both lost fair and square!

What Gong Tianjian and the others couldn't accept the most was that before this battle, Yun Xiao had single-handedly fought against 1,500 geniuses, brutally slaying hundreds and humiliating two Young Dragon Lords... Such divine might had already elicited heartfelt admiration from the various powerhouses in the Million Starlight Palace!

"This celestial slave is too powerful!"

"How did the Harmony Divine Palace cultivate him? Does his age truly meet the requirements?"

"Or did they use some forbidden technique?"

"No! Did you see his last sword strike? It seemed to have the same effect as Cloud Annihilation."

The Million Starlight Palace was filled with hidden talents and keen eyes. Many were visibly shaken, whispering among themselves. The contempt in their gazes toward Yun Xiao had greatly diminished, replaced by admiration. ř𝐚ℕỘＢƐ𝓢

His strength had turned public opinion on its head.

This scene showed that sometimes a person's character was linked to their power. The stronger someone was, even if they committed all sorts of misdeeds, they still shone in the eyes of others. This radiance was forced upon them by those who worshiped strength.

"If this celestial slave weren't missing one crucial thing, he'd be perfect!"

"Does he not resent the Harmony Divine Palace? With his talent, if he hadn't become a celestial slave, he could have made great achievements in the Heavenly Deity Stellar River. Any sect in the Heavenly Deity Alliance would have supported him!"

"He can't carry on his lineage; no matter how strong his bloodline is, it can't be passed on. The Harmony Divine Palace has cut off his future!"

"Don't say that; perhaps his achievements are related to his purity. After all, the sword arts and celestial techniques of the Harmony Divine Palace are all feminine. If he hadn't castrated himself, he might not have been able to learn them..."

"Are you sure? Then now, Zhao Canglan can also learn the techniques of the Yin Sword Embryo!"

"Haha..."

"Golden boy and jade Girl? Now it's just golden eunuch and jade girl."

"The Great Eagle Spreads Its Wings has become the Great Eunuch Spreads His Wings."

"Yun Xiao has astonishing assimilation abilities. Now he's added one more member to his alliance of celestial slaves."

From Yang Yang to Mu Zixiao, Mu Zhilu, and now Zhao Canglan—all towering, handsome men—could now only gaze longingly at paradise, their tears falling in vain.

In any case, the Million Starlight Palace was abuzz. Some watched the unfolding drama with relish, some suppressed their anger, and others were listing Yun Xiao's deeds, predicting the severe consequences that would bring disaster to countless people in the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm.

The Southern Divine Dragon Realm, Ancestral Land, Nine Yin Soul Sea, Elysian Immortal Palace... He had offended so many of the top superpowers in the Heavenly Deity Stellar River, and those Three Divas hadn't stopped him. Did they really want to bring about their own destruction?

But that was a matter for later; those not involved didn't care. They just wanted to see how Yun Xiao would resolve the crisis on the Extreme Yin Star.

On the screen, the excitement continued.

"The Palace Master of the Elysian Immortal Palace, Yun Sheng, has arrived. If this celestial slave dares to mess with Yun Lingchen, he's absolutely doomed!"

▬ι══🪦✧⚰️✧🪦══ι▬

SPLATTER!

Blood stained Yun Xiao's sword—the very essence of Zhao Canglan's downfall, a legendary genius of the Elysian Immortal Palace reduced to a celestial slave's Personal Pledge.

Yun Lingchen and Zhao Canglan, though only in the naive stages of acquaintance, had kindled some feelings under their elders' arrangements.

But now… The bloodstain chunk hanging before her eyes twitched like a dying insect, making Yun Lingchen's stomach churn.

All dreams of being the perfect couple—the golden boy and jade girl—had turned into a bloody nightmare beneath Yun Xiao's blade.

Zhao Canglan, now reduced to his upper body curled on the ground, struggled to lift his head. Witnessing the scene, a bitter taste rose in his throat. He spat out dark blood; his eyes seemed to shatter into pieces.

It was unimaginable—the agony of plummeting from unmatched brilliance into life's deepest abyss in an instant. All the scorn he'd held for Yun Xiao now crashed back onto himself, twice as heavy.

"Senior Brother Zhao..." Yun Lingchen's delicate body trembled, lips pale, tears streaming down her face, despair etched in every feature.

Their gazes locked, mirroring the moment when righteous lovers were crushed by villains in tales. It seemed the script for vanquishing evil had fallen into the wrong hands, leaving the righteous more devastated than ever imagined.

"Even now, you linger on sentimental ties?" Yun Xiao remarked, the deathly might of the Heaven Burial Sword Soul flaring. The bloody chunks rotted into black powder.

WHOOSH!

He blew gently, and the black dust settled onto Yun Lingchen's pink dress.

"Kyaaa!" she screamed, frantically brushing at the dust, nearly tearing her dress apart.

In her panic, she revealed glimpses of her jade-like skin—fresh and tender, the very essence of youth.

"Celestial slave, I'll kill you!"

For Yun Lingchen, these were the harshest words she could muster. Tears flowing, she summoned the World-Purifying Cloud Sigil, aiming to strike Yun Xiao at close range.

"Heh." Yun Xiao had already ensnared this little white rabbit. Before she could act, his Life Sigil transformed into a nine-headed dragon, lunging at her World-Purifying Cloud Sigil.

"Evil creature, how dare you touch my World-Purifying Cloud Sigil!" She bit her lip in anger, still clinging to confidence.

But before her words faded, her snow-white Life Sigil was embraced by Yun Xiao's violet nine-headed divine dragon. The nine heads spread out, binding and entwining it. As the dragon heads bit down, she felt searing pain; sweat beaded on her brow; her spirit waned.

She had believed her World-Purifying Cloud Sigil's holy power could suppress Yun Xiao's evil sigil. Unexpectedly, the Prison Warden Sigil was unaffected. Instead, a domineering, sacred warmth surged from the dragon's fangs into her sigil.

Under this force, her World-Purifying Cloud Sigil became like a frightened rabbit, whimpering, surrendering, toyed with in the grasp of an ancient dragon fiend; even her Life Sigil wept pitifully.

"What... what's happening..." Yun Lingchen's eyes widened, her face a mask of disbelief.

Her Life Sigil was the core of her power. Now, with it locked down, it was as if Yun Xiao held her throat in an unyielding grip.

"Sorry, but when it comes to purity, you're no match for me," Yun Xiao said calmly.

"Impossible! You're lying!" Yun Lingchen pointed at him, her composure unraveling. She wasn't aggressive by nature; even her outbursts sounded like playful banter.

Yet deep down, she had to admit that Yun Xiao's Prison Warden Sigil, though appearing sinister and fierce, held a warmth within. Despite its domineering aura, it was hard to detest—if anything, it stirred an unsettling urge to submit.

"I've no interest in debating with you," Yun Xiao replied.

As he spoke, he unwound the Sky Sea Silk from his sword. Originally Zhao Canglan's Burying Heaven grade celestial treasure, it now whimpered like a subdued beast under Yun Xiao's grasp, swiftly submitting to his control.

"Not a bad rope," Yun Xiao mused.

"That's the Sky Sea Silk… Ahh!" Yun Lingchen began, but before she could finish, Yun Xiao flicked his wrist. The pale blue fabric, resembling an undersea starry sky, unfurled and flew toward her, wrapping tightly around her and binding her limbs.

The Sky Sea Silk could expand, widen, lengthen, or shrink at will.

When enlarged, it could transform into a painting or even a semi-transparent wall.

Now bound, Yun Lingchen's hands and feet were immobilized. She could only gaze at Yun Xiao with tear-filled eyes, trembling as she asked, "What are you planning to do?!"

Recalling Shen Nanyin's earlier ordeal, this pure maiden naturally panicked. Unlike Shen Nanyin, she had grown up without even holding hands with a stranger.

At this moment, not only was she terrified, but many around them were equally alarmed.

"What do you think?" Yun Xiao said, curling his lips into a wicked smile. Yun Lingchen's delicate body shuddered, despair flooding her eyes.

But Yun Xiao didn't touch her yet. The Sky Sea Silk in his hand continued to extend, soaring like a blue dragon.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Not far away, the two Young Dragon Consorts, still dazed and paralyzed, hadn't even reacted before they were simultaneously ensnared, violently pulled over by Yun Xiao, and trapped beside Yun Lingchen, one on each side.

Now they were all together.

It had to be said, under the binding of the Sky Sea Silk, the figures and curves displayed by the two Young Dragon Consorts of the Dragon Devil Clan were explosive, truly surpassing what Yun Lingchen could offer.

One could only say that each had her own allure, offering a full array of charms.

"Wow!"

At this, many men inside and outside the Grand Assembly Arena couldn't help but feel they'd feasted their eyes. After all, under normal circumstances, women of the Dragon Devil Clan were taboo in the Heavenly Deity Stellar River; an ordinary person might lose his head just by glancing at them. Let alone seeing them bound like this!

"Senior Brother Zhao, this rope of yours is quite impressive," Yun Xiao remarked.

As Yun Lingchen, Shen Nanyin, and Shi Feifei trembled in terror and panic, Yun Xiao appeared behind them. One hand rested on Shen Nanyin's shoulder; the other gently stroked Yun Lingchen's silken hair.

"Eunuch dog!!" Even though Zhao Canglan had only his upper body remaining, he forced himself upright, glaring at Yun Xiao and shouting, "If you have the guts, come at me!"

"Pfft. Don't make me laugh. What's there to come at you for?" Yun Xiao couldn't help but chuckle. "Besides, shouting

eunuch dog

so loudly—are you cursing yourself?"
