Chapter 890

"This time we've hit the jackpot."

"All of this is Fang Yu's achievement!"

"Yes, if not for Fang Yu, how could we possibly stand on the grounds of the Yaoguang Sacred Realm? We must reward Fang Yu for his accomplishments."

"Fang Yu has already received the Yaoguang Sacred Realm's ultimate imperial artifact, the Dragon-Engraved Black Gold Cauldron; ordinary treasures are of no use anymore. I think I can step down from my position as Supreme Sect Master of the Tai Xuan Sect—only then can I properly honor Fang Yu's deeds. This matter is settled."

The Supreme Sect Master of the Tai Xuan Sect pondered, pondered again, and decided to relinquish his position as Sect Master; only Fang Yu, as Supreme Sect Master of the current Tai Xuan Sect, could maintain ties with the Jiang Clan and secure all these benefits.

It was truly no longer appropriate for him to remain as Supreme Sect Master of the Tai Xuan Sect.

"Fang Yu, from this day forward, you are the Supreme Sect Master of our Tai Xuan Sect. I shall step down and become a Supreme Elder, devoting myself to cultivation. I hope our Tai Xuan Sect will flourish even more under your leadership."

The Tai Xuan Sect's Supreme Sect Master spoke solemnly.

"Oh, if that's the case, I won't refuse."

Fang Yu nodded.

He had no reason to refuse anymore—the position of Supreme Sect Master of the Tai Xuan Sect was one he could indeed bear.

"We pay homage to our new Supreme Sect Master of the Tai Xuan Sect!"

The former Supreme Sect Master, now Supreme Elder and Master of Xing Peak, roared out loud; the other Supreme Elders immediately bowed.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo exchanged glances, then bowed to Fang Yu as well.

Weiwei, the young girl who had just joined the Tai Xuan Sect, saw this and bowed to Fang Yu too.

The only one present who was not of the Tai Xuan Sect was Tu Fei, yet he too mimicked the gesture and bowed to Fang Yu.

"Congratulations, Big Brother—you've become Supreme Sect Master!"

All voices reverberated through heaven and earth, announcing the birth of the Tai Xuan Sect's new Supreme Sect Master.

The true enthronement ceremony, however, must wait until we return to the Tai Xuan Sect, where we will invite all major sects from the Eastern Wilderness's Southern Region to witness it, and also inform them that the situation in the Southern Region has changed.

"After cleaning up everything here, return to the Tai Xuan Sect."

Fang Yu spoke to the Master of Xing Peak.

The entire group readily agreed, each one elated.

The fall of one Sacred Realm is the rise of another.

The Yaoguang Sacred Realm is finished—completely and utterly finished. Whatever anyone hears about what Yaoguang did, they will agree that Yaoguang deserved annihilation.

The Southern Region is now in complete upheaval; every sect knows what has happened, everyone is talking, everyone is marveling—the mighty Yaoguang Sacred Realm has been destroyed, and the rise of the Tai Xuan Sect is inevitable.

Everyone also heard the news: the Supreme Sect Master of the Tai Xuan Sect has been replaced by Fang Yu—the very man who stirred up a storm in the Northern Wilderness and destroyed the Yaoguang Sacred Realm in the South. Instantly, all sects rushed to the Tai Xuan Sect, eager to attend the enthronement ceremony of this new Supreme Sect Master.

Yet the Tai Xuan Sect had not yet prepared the enthronement ceremony, as if waiting for something.

On Zhuofeng, Fang Yu and Li Ruoyu stood calmly; nearby, Ye Fan sat cross-legged, surrounded by numerous sources, forming a source-immersed immortal pool.

He was finally about to break through to the Four Extremities Secret Realm.

This time, Ye Fan chose not to break through in the crowded Sacred City of the Northern Wilderness, but on Zhuofeng in the Southern Region.

Fang Yu continued to guard Ye Fan's cultivation, and so did Li Ruoyu.

At this moment, Ye Fan remained utterly still, his body like seven-colored glass, countless essences purifying his flesh—he appeared as if he were a being who had achieved sainthood through physical cultivation alone.

"Is this the Ancient Wasteland Holy Body? We finally get to witness a Holy Body breaking through a realm."

"Look—the Holy Body is manifesting an extraordinary phenomenon. What is that phenomenon?"

"That looks like the Chaos Seed sprouting a blue lotus—the legendary phenomenon? And there—that's the Immortal King descending from the Nine Heavens, Chen's radiance piercing the azure sky, the Yin-Yang Diagram of Life and Death. Could there really be so many echoes of such phenomena?"

"Is this the Ancient Wasteland Holy Body? So many phenomena!"

The Tai Xuan Sect's Supreme Elders and Peak Masters stood in the void nearby, all discussing.

They were all very pleased that their sect now had a Holy Body about to break through to the Four Extremities realm—after all, if the Holy Body reached the Four Extremities and advanced even slightly further, it could protect their sect for countless ages.

Raising a Holy Body from the simplest Wheel Sea Secret Realm to the Four Extremities Secret Realm was something they strongly disliked—but seeing a Holy Body who had already reached the Dao Palace Fifth Heaven realm arrive at their sect, they were delighted.

Everyone was filled with anticipation, discussing as they waited.

Many Elders, witnessing the Holy Body's flesh breaking through, were periodically stunned, for Ye Fan's body had suddenly ignited—radiance surged skyward, his skin nearly transparent, flesh translucent, organs and bones almost visible.

"What's happening? Why is the Ancient Wasteland Holy Body burning? Is he going to burn himself to ashes?"

A Tai Xuan Sect disciple was confused.

"No—this is true rebirth and transformation!"

An Elder explained.

"Flesh regenerates, the Holy Body reaches minor completion—it seems the Holy Body is nearly at the Four Extremities Secret Realm."

"Crack!"

Everyone watched as the Holy Body's muscles regenerated, and heard the sound of bones shattering; faintly, they saw Ye Fan's body—bones breaking, then regrowing.

Never before had anyone witnessed such terrifying rebirth and transformation—it was truly deserving of the name.

"Holy Body breakthroughs are so flashy—I broke through to Four Extremities, and I had none of this nonsense."

"Too bad—this is precisely why the Holy Body is so powerful. His rebirth and transformation is complete, almost like being reborn anew. Look at how strong his body is now—I feel utterly outmatched just watching."

"Is the Holy Body about to complete his breakthrough? If it's this simple, why haven't the major Sacred Realms ever raised a Holy Body? It doesn't seem that hard."

The onlookers from the Tai Xuan Sect—whether Elders or disciples—felt this breakthrough was merely brutal to watch, yet somehow acceptable.

"I heard he's already consumed over ten million catties of source to break through to the Four Extremities realm. Could you ever gather that much?"

An Elder spoke to his disciple; upon hearing the number "ten million catties of source," the disciple's eyes widened—he had never dreamed of such a figure.

Perhaps it would take him a thousand years to accumulate ten million catties—gathering one catty per year was no problem for him.

Just then, purple lightning descended from the heavens, striking the Ancient Wasteland Holy Body.

"Heavenly tribulation!"
